Chapter 499 – Winged Bird
On the far outskirts of the capital, Li Yingqing was personally commanding a wagon sized double-headed tin vehicle with someone driving it.
“Start!”
With Li Yingqing’s command, the steam whistle sounded loudly, and the tin car slowly moved on the preset track, and then moved faster and faster, just like a steed galloping, and soon left the field of vision.
Around a group of Shen Ji Sect people cheered, laughing and dancing like children, around them there are war puppets with their joy also dancing, jumping and jumping is very funny.
At this moment, no one can see that they are extremely advanced martial artists and supine, are like a happy teenager, the body of the machine oil black and smelly no one cares at all, even Li Yingqing such as the head of a door, the country’s important ministers, are turning somersaults and laughing.
After the door of the divine opportunity to pour the strength of the door, more than ninety percent of the core elite hand in hand, more than three months of almost bewitching like sleepless to come up with a steam engine, installed in the pre-made tin car, after dozens of failed debugging, repeated improvements, finally succeeded in the pre-set on the wooden rails Mercedes-Benz and go.
Although the speed is average, empty car speed is equivalent to ordinary horses in the wilderness Benz, worse than a good horse, if it is loaded with goods will be even slower. But this does not consume horsepower, do not change the horse ah! Moreover, the road is more rugged, where so much wilderness for the horse to play, long-distance traveling, the total time consumed is definitely much faster than the horse!
Once the improvements continue, there will still be horses for long distance transportation in the future.
“It seems that Sect Master Li has succeeded, it’s really something to be congratulated.” Xue Mu’s voice suddenly came from the distance.
Li Yingqing stopped somersaulting, coughed dryly twice to straighten up his grooming, turned his head to look, Xue Mu brought Zhuo Qingqing in stride, this time Curry Night was not seen by his side.
“Meng Changxin marquis mention, this steam engine is indeed usable!” Li Yingqing laughed: “This is not the joy of my Divine Mechanism Sect, it is the joy of the people.”
Xue Mu blinked: “Only you and I think so, do others really think it’s the joy of the people?”
Li Yingqing’s smile became awkward, indeed no one in the court was interested in their experiment except for one Xiahou Di. If it wasn’t for the fact that Liu Guifei was still supportive, they were afraid that they might not even be able to hold up the financial resources for their research.
After all, the power of the steam engine is not at all suitable for war dolls, can not fight at all. What is the use of traveling a car, but also pre-set rails, time-consuming and costly. Even so, loaded with goods is still a drag on the speed, like an old ox pulling a broken cart, not to mention not comparable to the martial arts running, even running a horse is not as good as, how can let those who are stuck in their own way of the nobility to look at the eyes?
Li Yingqing’s good mood was broken by seven or eight points, sighed and said, “Marquis Changxin saw that the trial was accomplished but also reacted flatly, could it be that he is also like them?”
Xue Mu froze for a moment, crying and laughing. He reacted flatly of course because this is too lame ah …… to see a primitive broken car still expect to laugh and dance like this group of people ah? Seeing that Li Yingqing was stifled, he had to comfort: ”I have said that you and I are happy, how can it be the same as them? It’s just that Mister Xue feels that there is still progress to be made, and this shouldn’t be the end of us.”
Li Yingqing listened comfortably and laughed, “What good wind blew Marquis Changxin to the capital today?”
Xue Mu laughed, “Xue Mou will be traveling far away and has come to borrow an object to use.”
Li Yingqing asked the string song to know the elegant meaning, “Could it be that you have come to borrow the wind chasing winged bird?”
“Yes…… “Xue Mu was a bit embarrassed, “I’m ashamed to say that I can’t fly myself yet……but I think I must have barely reached the point where I can use your clan’s winged bird’s needs now ……”
Li Yingqing dumbfounded, a stirring the world’s wind and clouds of the tide, actually is still a novice who has no way to fly, this contrast is really a little bit incongruous to think about. He also did not have two words, directly touch out a piece of folding board, laughed: “If it is someone else, this is not borrowed, both long letter marquis well …… sent you.”
Xue Mu laughed: “So polite?”
Li Yingqing pointed to the tin car that was returning in the distance, “Relying on this alone, even if you want a war puppet I’ll lend you, but unfortunately you won’t use it.”
Xue Mu took the folding board, it was very light in his hand, and when he touched it, he didn’t know what material it was made of, it was smooth. Trying to open it, there were indentations on it to allow feet to stand, and there were leather buckles to secure it.
Li Yingqing said, “Stand on it with a light body and lift your qi, try not to put weight on it. Inputting true qi to activate the core power will allow it to fly, inputting it slower and more efficiently, I’m not responsible for falling down.”
Xue Mu carefully tried, low altitude flying a circle, the feeling with the skateboard is similar is not difficult to control, just do not know fly high by the wind is blown what virtues. But think about how there is a cowman in the protection, how can not fall dead, then nonchalantly received: “Thank you Li Sect Master, some other day to find you drink tea.”
Li Yingqing laughed: “Just leave? You don’t want to see Chief Constable Xiahou?”
Xue Mu scratched his head, “I went to see her, and was chased by her with her sword drawn all the way from the chief constable’s office to the city gates.”
Listening to the Divine Mechanic door people are laughing, Xiahou Di recently by the song tossed, go wherever there are unaware of the death of the noble children kneeling to show their love, open to sing “not as good as I do soup”, angry Xiahou Di drew his sword and cut people, but also two of them thrown into the prison jail, only barely put a brake on this crooked wind and evil spirit. It can be imagined that the originator of the Xue Mu is pregnant with much resentment, imagine Xiahou Di drew his sword all the way to kill, Xue Mu head scurrying scene, very comical.
Of course, no one could have imagined that after turning out of the city gate, the pursuer was turned around and pressed behind a tree by Xue Mu, and viciously kissed a pain in the ass.
Xiahou Di went from struggling to dropping her arms, to closing her eyes around his waist, and was finally kissed until she had no strength left.
“You actually …… went to the palace to see mother consort first before coming to see me!”
Get, people angry there is such a layer, the whole capital to see the theater are only half guessed ……
“I was entrusted by Wanxi to reply ah!”
Xiahou Di reluctantly accepted this answer, glaring at him and asking, “What are you doing here this time?”
“Just passing by.”
“Going where?”
“Southwest.” Xue Mu paused for a moment, “I’ll fly there so that no one else can follow the whereabouts, so don’t divulge it to anyone else.”
Xiahou Di frowned tightly, “There is danger?”
“I don’t know, there is no fault in being careful.”
Xiahou Di nodded and looked at Zhuo Qingqing by Xue Mu’s side: “You’re bringing just one person this time?”
Xue Mu smiled faintly, “There are more, don’t worry.”
Xiahou Di knew that he had many cards and didn’t ask too many questions, she looked at him steadily for a long time and whispered, “Is there anything you want to say to me?”
Her eyes were quite expectant, very much hoping to hear those last three words on the letter from Xue Mu’s mouth.
Xue Mu’s response was an extremely solemn expression, “There …… you must must must, keep an eye on Ji Wuyou.”
Xiahou Di pursed her lips, some disappointment in her heart, finally sighed and said, “Got it.”
“If you have trouble go to Xiao Ai, she can help you.”
“Your capital division has no one who can fight, what can help me?”
“Can.”
“Have you ever thought that you are actually fighting the air?”
“I remember Chu Tianming said that even if you get nothing ninety-nine times, as long as you get something once, that’s a victory. If you had arranged for him to do this, he would have agreed with me, I think.”
“He’s been doing this very thing all along, obviously gaining nothing, and still being as stubborn as you are. If he were to do something else, I’m afraid he would have already gotten a ton of credit for it, as opposed to wasting his time in such an empty manner?”
Xue Mu laughed, “This young man really does have a future, it’s not in vain that I had the discerning eye to dig him up from Lun Wu.”
“If you don’t dig, there are plenty of people to dig.” Xiahou Di shook her head and lost her smile, and suddenly took the initiative to kiss him, “You did a good job in Ling Zhou, this is a reward.”
While playing with the skateboard flying in the sky, Xue Mu still recalled Xiahou Di’s first active kiss from time to time and reminisced. Zhuo Qingqing flew by his side to protect him, and was a little bit ineptly trying to remind him to fly more seriously, when a sour voice came from higher up first: “Keep your eyes peeled, the titular Xue Ally really wants to fall to his death and laugh off the world’s teeth.”
Zhuo Qingqing looked up, and in her heart, she also felt that the Duke was quite amazing.
Even if she had watched Xue Mu and Qin Wuyi’s interactions throughout the entire journey, she would never have thought that Qin Wuyi would actually be willing to waste time traveling thousands of miles to accompany him and be one of his tiny escorts.
To be reasonable, even though there is a difference in affinity, Zhuo Qingqing still feels that Qin Wuyi should be a little bit more reliable than Curry Night ……
