Chapter 1314: Coming Here because of Its Reputation

Inside the restaurant.

The two young scholars chose to believe everything that Geng Zhuzhu described about the steam train.

Although they did not know that the steam train was made by the middle-aged man in front of them, everything Geng Zhuzhu told about the steam train convinced the two young scholars.

"Of course I saw the steam train in Hanzhong, so everything I said is true."

"If you also want to see a real steam train, then go to Hanzhong to see it!"

After Geng Zhuzhu finished speaking to the two young scholars, he asked the waiters to pay and leave.

At this time, the two young scholars had forgotten to thank Geng Zhuzhu until Geng Zhuzhu had already gone downstairs. They were still thinking about whether to go to Hanzhong and see the legendary steam train with their own eyes.

"Huh? Why did that person leave just now?"

The scholar in blue clothes who had just reacted couldn't help but ask his friend.

"Well, I didn't notice when he left, but I haven't seen him in Yizhou before!"

"And that person looks like he is in a high position, which is strange."

After the scholar in white clothes finished speaking, he began to recall whether he had seen him in other places in the city before, or whether he had heard of the man just now.

It would be really strange if they had seen and heard of it.

This is the first time Geng Zhuzi has come to Yizhou. Not to mention the two scholars, even Yizhou Mu Xia Houdun has never seen Geng Zhuzi before.

"How about we go to Yizhou to see what a real steam train looks like?"

"I can boast about it for at least a year if I come back this way!"

The scholar in green clothes no longer thinks about who the person who just answered their question is. He just wants to take his friends to Hanzhong to watch the steam train.

I didn't recall seeing the white-clothed scholar plowing the pillars in other places, and I was quite moved when I heard this.

Now the scholars and nobles throughout Yizhou are talking about steam trains.

What they had been talking about before was all about steam engines and things that were beyond the reach of steam.

Now I know that Bai Feng has invented the steam train again. I think he will definitely make a lot of money if he sells it to Yecheng!

"It's not impossible. It's only a day's journey to Hanzhong anyway!"

The excited scholar in white clothes thought for a moment and then said to his friend.

"Hahaha, it's settled then! We'll set off tomorrow!"

The scholar in blue clothes said excitedly after hearing this.

Afterwards, the two of them drank and finished their food, and then they were ready to leave the restaurant and go home to pack their bags.

Then the two met at a better place the next day, and then set off to Hanzhong together.

After the two arrived in Hanzhong, they first found an inn to stay in the city.

Then took a day off.

After regaining their energy, they found out where they could see the real steam train, and then they set off.

When the two came to the mine outside Hanzhong City, they were stopped by soldiers patrolling nearby.

Because the mine now uses explosives, in order to prevent unsuspecting people from being within the scope of the mine during blasting operations, Bai Feng ordered a group of soldiers to patrol near the mine.

Keep people away from the mine to avoid danger.

After the two men were stopped from going to the mine by patrolling soldiers, they suddenly became anxious.

They traveled for a day and spent half a day arriving at the mine.

Just to take a look at the steam train, you can’t just go back.

So the two began to explain to the soldiers why they came to the mine.

After listening to the explanations of the two men, the soldiers expressed their understanding. It happened that there was no blasting work today.

After all, the soldiers who came to patrol the mine were very shocked when they first saw the steam train transporting ore to the foot of the mountain.

There is also the pleasure of admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains on both sides on the steam train, which also gives these soldiers a wonderful aftertaste during the boring patrol process.

However, these soldiers strictly followed Bai Feng's instructions and would not let the common people enter the mine.

Seeing that the two of them had put in so much effort and stated that they would never cause trouble to the work in the mine, the captain of the patrol team decided to take them to see Zhang Ning.

If Zhang Ning agrees that they can go see the steam train, then let the two of them watch it up close. If Zhang Ning disagrees, he will send them back.

Maybe during the process of sending them off, if the two young scholars are lucky, they will be able to see the steam train transporting iron ore down the mountain.

After the two thanked the patrol leader, they were brought to Zhang Ning.

"There is still such a thing."

After Zhang Ning listened to the patrol captain's report, he looked at the two people with flattering smiles on their faces and couldn't help but think about it.

Then Zhang Ning asked the two of them:

"Are Li Shuang and Wu Chao right? They really came to the mine from Yizhou just to see the steam train?"

After hearing this, Li Shuang and Wu Chao nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, we came here from Yizhou just to see the steam train!"

"Everyone in Yizhou is talking about steam trains now. We found this place only after the guidance of a gentleman!"

After Zhang Ning listened to the explanations of the two people, he asked curiously:

"Which gentleman gave the advice?"

Li Shuang answered first:

"We met this gentleman in a restaurant and he told us that we could see steam trains in the mines in Hanzhong."

After telling Zhang Ning about his encounter with Geng Zhuzi, Li Shuang was still a little embarrassed because he was the scholar in blue clothes that day.

Zhang Ning guessed from Li Shuang's description that the person they met should be Geng Zhuzi who went to Yizhou to relax.

"Since the two of them have the opportunity to meet Mr. Geng and get his guidance to find this place, let's let them meet this steam train."

Zhang Ning thought to herself, and then she nodded to the patrol captain.

"Take them to the mine, pay attention to safety."

"Yes!"

The patrol captain answered loudly, and took the two to the mine while Li Shuang and Wu Chao thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, a steam train loaded with ore just set off from the mine.

"Woo--!"

With the high-pitched whistle, the steam train finally appeared in front of Li Shuang and Wu Chao.

"Wow!"

"Is this a real steam train?!"

"It's really amazing!"

"I want to get on the train!"

The two of them widened their eyes and opened their mouths. The poems and books they had read were now forgotten.

All they had left in their minds were a few simple words and the desire to experience the feeling of riding a steam train.
