Chapter 499 Winged Bird

Chapter 499 Winged Bird

In the outskirts of the capital, Li Yingqing was personally commanding a double-headed iron wagon the size of a carriage, with someone driving it.

"start up!"

Following Li Yingqing's order, the steam whistle sounded loudly, and the iron car slowly started to move on the preset track, and then moved faster and faster, like a galloping horse, and soon left the field of vision.

A group of people from the Shenji Sect around them cheered loudly, laughed and danced like children. There were also war partners around them who were also dancing with their joy, jumping up and down in a very funny way.

At this moment, no one can tell that they are all extremely high-level warriors and masters. They all look like happy teenagers. The motor oil on their bodies is so black and stinky that no one cares about it. Even the master of a sect like Li Yingqing, The important ministers of the country were all doing somersaults and laughing.

With the help of the Shenji Sect, more than 90% of the core elites worked together to build the steam engine, which was built almost like a maniac for more than three months, and was installed on a pre-made iron car. After dozens of failures, After debugging and repeated improvements, I finally succeeded in running on the preset wooden track.

Although the speed is average, the speed of an empty car is equivalent to that of an ordinary horse galloping in the wilderness, which is worse than a good horse. If it is carrying cargo, it will be even slower. But this doesn’t consume horsepower, so don’t change horses! What's more, the road is very rugged, and there is not so much wilderness for horses to play. If you drive a long distance, the total time will definitely be much faster than that of horses!

Once improvements continue, what will happen to horses in long-distance transportation in the future?

"It seems that Sect Master Li has succeeded. It's really gratifying." Xue Mu's voice suddenly came from a distance.

Li Yingqing stopped somersaulting, coughed twice and straightened up his appearance. He turned around and saw Xue Mu striding over with Zhuo Qingqing, but this time Wei Ye was nowhere to be seen.

"Mr. Changxin reminds me that this steam engine is indeed usable!" Li Yingqing laughed and said: "This is not the joy of my divine machine sect, but the joy of the common people."

Xue Mu blinked: "It's just you and I who think so, do others really think it's the joy of the common people?"

Li Yingqing's smile became awkward. Indeed, except for Xia Houdi, no one in the government or the public was interested in their experiment. If not for Concubine Liu's support, they might not even be able to afford the research.

After all, the power of the steam engine is completely unsuitable for fighting partners, and they cannot fight at all. What's the use of running a train? You have to set the track in advance, which takes a long time and costs countless money. Even so, it still drags down the speed when carrying goods, like an old ox pulling a broken cart. It is not as fast as a warrior, not even as fast as a horse. How can it be seen by those dignitaries who are stuck in their own way?

Li Yingqing's good mood was gone bad, and he sighed and said: "Marquis Changxin saw that the experiment was successful, but his reaction was mediocre. Could it be that he is the same as them?"

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded. Of course his lackluster reaction was because this was too inferior... How do you expect to laugh and dance like these people when you look at a primitive car? Seeing that Li Yingqing was depressed, he had no choice but to comfort him: "I've already said that you and I are happy, how can we be the same as them? It's just that Xue feels that there is still room for improvement, and this shouldn't be our end."

Li Yingqing felt comfortable and said with a smile: "What kind of good wind brought Marquis Changxin to the capital today?"

Xue Mu smiled and said: "Xue is about to travel far and I came here to borrow something for use."

Li Yingqing asked Xian Ge Zhi Ya's meaning: "Are you here to borrow the Wind-Winged Bird?"

"Yes..." Xue Mu was a little embarrassed: "I'm ashamed to say that I can't fly yet... but I must be able to barely meet the requirements to use the Guizong Winged Bird..."

Li Yingqing burst into laughter. A trend-setting person who was stirring up trouble in the world was actually a rookie who couldn't fly on his own. This contrast was a bit inconsistent when you think about it. Without hesitation, he directly took out a folding board and said with a smile: "If it is anyone else, this cannot be borrowed. Since I am the Marquis of Changxin... I will give it to you."

Xue Mu smiled and said: "So polite?"

Li Yingqing pointed to the iron car that was returning in the distance: "With this alone, I will lend it to you even if you want to fight. It's a pity that you don't know how to use it."

Xue Mu took the folding board and held it very lightly. He didn't know what material it was made of when he touched it. It was extremely smooth. Try to open it, there are depressions on it for your feet to stand on, and there are leather buckles to fix it.

Li Yingqing said: "Stand on it while raising your Qi, and try not to add weight to it. Input the Qi to activate the core power and it will fly. Input the efficiency slowly, and I will not be responsible for it falling."

Xue Mu tried it carefully and flew in a circle at low altitude. It felt like a skateboard and it was not difficult to control. But he didn't know what it was like to be blown by the wind when flying high. But thinking about how he could not fall to death despite being protected by a great person, he accepted it unceremoniously: "Thank you, Master Li. I'll have tea with you another day."

Li Yingqing smiled and said, "Just leaving? Don't you want to see Chief Xiahou?"

Xue Mu scratched his head: "I went to see him, but she drew her sword and chased her all the way from the arresting room to the city gate."

Everyone in the Shenji Sect was laughing. Xiahou Di was so upset by that song recently. Wherever he went, noble disciples who did not know whether to live or die would kneel down to show their love. They sang "Why don't you make soup with me"? Xiahou Di was so angry. Di drew his sword and chopped people, and threw two of them into the sky prison, thus barely stopping the evil trend. It is conceivable how much resentment he has towards the instigator Xue Mu. It is very joyful to imagine the scene of Xia Houdi drawing his sword and chasing him all the way, and Xue Mu running away with his head in his arms.

Of course, no one expected that after turning outside the city gate, Xue Mu turned around and pinned the pursuer behind a tree, and kissed him fiercely.

Xia Houdi went from struggling hard to hanging her arms, to closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around his waist, and finally was kissed until she lost all her strength.

"You actually... went to the palace to see my mother and concubine first, and then came to see me!"

Yes, people are so angry that everyone in the capital only half-guessed...

"I was entrusted by Wanxi to reply!"

Xia Houdi reluctantly accepted the answer, stared at him and asked, "What are you here for this time?"

"Just passing by."

"Where to go?"

"Southwest." Xue Mu paused and said, "I will fly there to prevent others from following my whereabouts. Don't reveal it to others."

Xia Houdi frowned: "Is it dangerous?"

"I don't know. It's okay to be careful."

Xia Houdi nodded and looked at Zhuo Qingqing next to Xue Mu: "Are you going to take one person with you this time?"

Xue Mu smiled slightly: "There is still more, don't worry."

Xia Houdi knew that he had many cards, so he didn't ask too many questions. He looked at him intently for a while and whispered: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

There was a bit of anticipation in her eyes, hoping to hear the last three words on the letter from Xue Mu.

Xue Mu's response was an extremely solemn expression: "Yes... you must pay attention to Ji Wuyou."

Xia Houdi pursed his lips, feeling a little disappointed, but finally sighed and said: "I know."

"If you have any trouble, go to Xiao Ai, she can help you."

"You don't have anyone in the Capital Division who can fight. How can you help me?"

"able."

"Have you ever thought that you are actually fighting the air?"

"I remember Chu Tianming said that even if he gets nothing ninety-nine times, as long as he gets something once, it is victory. If you arrange for him to do this, he will definitely agree with me."

"He has been doing this thing all along. He has achieved nothing, but he is still as stubborn as you. If he had done other things, I am afraid he would have made a lot of achievements. How about wasting his time like this?"

Xue Mu smiled and said: "This young man really has a future. It's not in vain that I hired him from Lunwu."

"If you don't dig it, others will dig it." Xia Houdi shook his head and laughed, and suddenly kissed him: "You have done well in Lingzhou, this is a reward."

While flying on a skateboard in the sky, Xue Mu still thought of Xia Houdi's first active kiss from time to time, and he couldn't stop recalling it. Zhuo Qingqingfei was guarding him and was angrily trying to remind him to fly more seriously when a sour voice came from higher up: "Pay attention, the dignified leader Xue is really going to fall to his death. He will make everyone laugh." Big teeth.”

Zhuo Qingqing looked up and felt that the young master was quite magical.

Even if she had watched the entire interaction between Xue Mu and Qin Wuye, she would never have thought that Qin Wuye was actually willing to waste time traveling thousands of miles to accompany him and be his little guard.

To be honest, despite the distance between them, Zhuo Qingqing still feels that Qin Wuye should be a little bit more reliable than Wei Ye...
