Chapter 726: Crossing the River
Before the sun set, a large number of people gathered in front of the broken chain bridge in Qingping Town.
The clerk and his craftsmen have already built the iron locks and iron rings needed to repair the bridge, and the clerk and a few craftsmen are standing on this side of the bridge, pointing to the piers on both sides and the broken and remaining iron chains, studying how to repair the bridge as soon as possible, and many people are also gathered here to watch the excitement.
Suddenly, a voice rang out at the head of the bridge.
"Lord Yan is here......"
Hearing this voice, the people surrounding the bridgehead consciously and respectfully got out of the way, and then Yan Liqiang walked to the position of the bridgehead from behind.
Yan Liqiang returned to Qingping Town without panic, and there was still time to practice the Yi Jin Washing Pulp Sutra a few more times in the afternoon, although he had just had a fight with the Ghost King, but under the powerful effect of the Yi Jin Washing Essence Sutra, the injuries on his body were better.
"I've seen Lord Yan...... the clerk and a few craftsmen hurriedly walked over and bowed to Yan Li.
"No need to be polite!" Yan Liqiang waved his hand, "I heard that you have already built the things you need to build the bridge, so come and see, how about it, no problem, right?"
"Lord Qiyu, we've already built something!" The steward pointed to the pile of things on the ground, and said humbly, "We're here now to see how to fix this bridge!"
"Yes, yes, you guys are quite efficient!" Yan Liqiang looked at those things and nodded with satisfaction, "What is your plan for repairing the bridge?"
"We are going to send a few craftsmen to take this rope along these two iron locks to the other side of the river, first pull up this rope, and then slide these things used to repair the bridge with ropes, those broken iron locks, some need to be repaired with an iron lock to pull up, and a few iron locks, fell into the river, we need to have people hook and salvage with the hook first, and then connect with these iron locks and iron buckles, those iron locks that fell into the river are a little difficult to salvage, and it will take a little time to repair the broken iron locks, but we will get them done as soon as possible......" The clerk said while looking at Yan Liqiang with some trepidation, two hours is already the limit of the clerk gritting his teeth, because in two hours, it will be almost the hour, if you don't get these things done within two hours, the time for tonight's trip will be delayed, at this time, this time can not be delayed.
"Two hours?" Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the tools in front of him, and then looked at the iron locks that were hanging in the river after they were broken.
The clerk sweated down, thinking that Yan Liqiang was dissatisfied, he bent over and looked at Yan Liqiang with a bitter face, "My lord, this is ...... This is already our limit...... The iron lock is heavy, it takes time to salvage, and it is not easy to repair the broken iron lock and buckle, if it is faster, I am afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"
Yan Liqiang laughed, patted the shoulder of the manager, and said with a pleasant face, "Two hours is indeed too long, but this bridge repair will not trouble you, since the tools have been prepared, you can watch from the shore, I think it will be half an hour to repair this bridge......"
Half an hour?
The clerk and several craftsmen around him glanced at each other, and looked at Yan Liqiang dumbfounded, thinking that they had heard it wrong, how could it be.
Yan Liqiang smiled, and had already picked up the tools and ropes used to build the bridge and the iron locks and iron rings that had been built hundreds of pounds......
"My lord, what are you ......" The clerk looked at Yan Liqiang in shock.
"Haha, just look at it!" Yan Liqiang said, under the gaze of everyone here, he jumped up, holding those things in his hands, and flew directly into the sky like a bird, across the river more than ten zhang long, and landed steadily on the opposite bank, and all the people here exclaimed.
Yan Liqiang, who landed on the other bank, put down the other things in his hand, and only held a circle of rope, which had an iron hook like a cat's claw, which was used to salvage the iron lock that had fallen into the river.
Yan Liqiang shook off the long rope, waved it in his hand, and then threw the rope down into the river with a bang, and the iron hook entered the water like a javelin, splashing more than ten meters high, and then Yan Liqiang slowly pulled the rope up, and when the iron hook of the rope left the water, the iron hook was hooked with the lock ring of a broken iron lock.
"Lord Yan hooked the iron hook...... "The crowd of onlookers at the bridgehead let out an exclamation.
"Hey, hook it up as soon as you can, Lord Yan's ability is really amazing......"
The river is surging, you can't see the bottom, the broken iron lock fell in the river, everyone can only see a general direction, if you want to hook up with a hook, it is not an easy task, for other people to salvage, you can only throw the iron hook down, try your luck again and again, see if you can hook it up, where will it be as neat as Yan Liqiang.
And the iron lock that fell in the river weighed one or two thousand catties, Yan Liqiang was like an old man fishing for a small fish, so he easily pulled the iron lock up.
Yan Liqiang pulled the iron lock with one hand, shook it slightly, and the iron cable that had just been pulled out of the river splashed all of a sudden, became straight, and crossed the river, and then Yan Liqiang picked up a built iron lock and buckled it on a ring of the broken iron lock, the lock of the iron lock that was thicker than the thumb of an adult, in Yan Liqiang's hand, like mud, kneaded at will with Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang carried the iron lock to the pier on the side of the bridge, and when he twisted it, the entire iron lock was tightly closed at once, and it was pulled like this, it was extremely easy, and it took less than half a minute to repair the iron lock......
The cadres on this side of the bridge were already dumbfounded and silent......
In the next second, Yan Liqiang soaked like this, simply repeating the process, hooking, pulling up the iron lock in the river, and then buckling the iron lock ring at the broken iron lock, straightening it, and buttoning it on the lock of the bridge pier, twisting it, and it was done.
In less than five minutes, the iron locks that were cut off were picked up by Yan Liqiang one by one, and then fixed on the piers again.
Yan Liqiang stepped on the repaired iron chain bridge and walked back to the front of the clerk, "This iron lock has been re-pulled, if you want to pass by, you have to pave the bridge deck on the iron lock, and the following things will be handed over to you......"
The clerk, who was still dumbfounded, came back to his senses, "Ah...... Rest assured, all the planks of the bridge deck are ready and ready to be laid in a moment......"
"Well, you've worked hard too, I heard that you haven't eaten today, let's eat something and rest after getting this, and then we're ready to go!"
The clerk nodded hurriedly......
After getting these, Yan Liqiang left, and then the clerk and a few craftsmen were careful that the iron lock and iron ring over there were not fixed, and they also touched the paved iron lock to the other side of the river and checked it carefully. The interfaces of the iron rings were directly twisted into a twist-like shape by Yan Liqiang, which was so strong that it couldn't be stronger, and if you look closely, there are even finger marks of Yan Liqiang's fingers on the iron rings, and the lines on the finger marks are all intrusive and recognizable......
"This ...... This iron ring is so thick, but it is made of stainless steel...... This...... How hard does it take to twist the joints of the hoops like this...... "One of the craftsmen muttered to himself in distraction, "if we make it like this in the blacksmith's workshop, it will take us a day or two to twist it......
The clerk also swallowed a mouthful of saliva with straight eyes, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and do something......"
The wooden planks used to pave the bridge deck are those door panels that were dismantled from Qingping Town, and all the door panels were sawed and planed according to the length after being removed, and then the holes were punched, the rope was threaded, and after being laid on the bridge deck, the rope was fixed on the iron lock, and the bridge deck came out.
It's still the same as yesterday, as soon as the time came, Yan Liqiang took everyone to the bridge and began to cross the bridge.
Yan Liqiang rode on the colorful clouds chasing the moon, was the first to cross the bridge, and then stood by the bridge, waiting for the follow-up men and vehicles to come over one by one.
The paved chain bridge was a little shaky, but it was enough to allow the carriages and horses to come over, and all the wheels and hooves were re-wrapped in cotton cloth, and the sound of the hooves and wheels on the planks was particularly dull.
After Rong Guifei's carriage came, the carriage stopped in front of Yan Liqiang, and the curtain behind the window vent was lifted, revealing Rong Guifei's big eyes, "Lord Yan has worked hard, I heard that the bridge is built today all up to Lord Yan, if there is no adult, this bridge may not be repaired now......"
"Niangniang is polite, I just used brute force, or follow our craftsmen!" Yan Liqiang said modestly.
"Then can I leave Huizhou City tonight?"
Yan Liqiang nodded, "After crossing this bridge, it is almost in Huizhou, and we have more roads to choose from, as long as we avoid those dangerous places along the way, we will definitely be able to cross Huizhou City tonight!"
"Then please Lord Yan!"
Yan Liqiang nodded.
The curtain of the carriage was also lowered.
After everyone crossed the river, Yan Liqiang shook the reins, and ran to the front of the team with Caiyun Chasing the Moon, and led the team on the road.
In the sky, the fire-eyed golden eagle is circling, scanning the situation on the ground, here, there is such a reconnaissance satellite as the fire-eyed golden eagle, Yan Liqiang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, no longer like last night can only rush forward, seeing that the walking dead on the road ahead are not easy to break through, Yan Liqiang led the team to take a detour, this way, although a little more road, there are times of fighting and hard breaking on the road, but the overall situation is much better than last night......
