Chapter 696: Jinling Event

Chu Tianshu frowned and said, "This thing looks weird, what is the use?" Xiao Han proudly pointed to the things he had assembled and said, "Brothers, come over and take a look, this is called a bicycle, and it is used to replace human legs." ”

Zhu Gaoyang, the left hall master of the Dizi Hall, smiled and said, "You coax ghosts, will this thing go?" A disciple stepped forward and patted the body and said, "Could it be that the wooden ox and flowing horse made by Zhuge Liang generally go by itself?"

Xiao Han laughed and said to Hang Yingjie, the right hall master of the Dizi Hall: "Brother, do you want to give it a try?" Hang Yingjie said with a bitter face: "I want to go up to this strange thing, and I won't fall to my death, so I won't try." ”

Everyone laughed wildly, Xiao Han tried to check the car, this thing is made of stainless steel, and it is the only thing that can be made without too much technology, which is just right for this era.

It's just that the roads in this era are too difficult to walk, and bicycles are okay to transport something, but if you can only ride on official roads or flat dirt roads.

Xiao Han carefully conceived, combined with the characteristics of the times, and used the drawings in the third small box as the basis to finally create the first bicycle of the fifth generation.

After repeated inspections, Xiao Han confirmed that this era definitely did not have as many corners as later generations, and every part was built quite strongly. Although it is a little heavy, it is also better than the quality. Xiao Han saw that although the steel bar was thick, it also tightened the steel rim wheel.

It's a pity that there is no rubber in this era, otherwise you can make a fortune by installing rubber wheels on the outside and becoming a bicycle agent. Such an iron wheel is bumpy and easy to damage.

Xiao Han didn't think of how to solve this problem, turned his head and saw many brothers looking at him and the car strangely, and immediately became arrogant, pushed the car and said, "Everyone come with me." Everyone hugged him and walked out of the conference hall, and outside was the martial arts arena, which was extremely smooth, and it was paved with big green stones, which was just used to make Xiao Han pretend to be forced.

Xiao Han shook the car left and right, saw that the mortise and tenon joints everywhere were extremely strong, and tried the test brake, it felt okay, and said that he had good light skills, once something happened, he could jump out of the car, it is estimated that the pretense will not fail, immediately tightened his waist, waved his hand to the brothers who gathered around and said: "Brothers watch." ”

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Han jumped up, followed his legs left and right, stepped on the pedals, and began to stomp. The bicycle slowly turned, following faster and faster, and circled around the martial arts hall.

Everyone stared blankly, they didn't expect this thing to run so fast. The men and horses who were exercising outside all stopped, and a swarm of people crowded over. Everyone saw Xiao Han riding a strange thing made of steel around in a circle, and they were all incredible, followed by cheers.

After Xiao Han came down, Chu Tianshu also went up to try it under his guidance, the bicycle is not difficult to learn, they are all martial arts practitioners, and the balance is already well mastered, and soon Chu Tianshu also learned, and turned more than a dozen times on the martial arts field.

Zhu Gaoyang, Hang Yingjie and others were not to be left behind, they had already watched it a few times, and they were eager to try it one by one, and the entire martial arts arena was full of laughter, and they were all clamoring for such a bicycle.

Xiao Han immediately took the disciples of the Dizitang back to assemble, basically he did one step at a time, everyone followed one step, although the speed was slow to noon, but all of them were assembled, and finally tested, a total of one hundred and twelve usable cars.

The disciples of the Wudi Zitang couldn't take care of eating, so they rushed to the martial arts hall to practice riding, and some of them fell so much that they couldn't care about erasing their faces and got up from the ground and came back again, and some disciples even fought for it.

Not to be left behind, the rest of the disciples came to try out their studies, and there were seven or eight people lined up behind each of the more than 100 cars, and even the logistics people couldn't help but come to watch.

Li Yueying was also clamoring to learn, but was persuaded by Murong Qiuyu. In this era, most women wear long skirts, which are not suitable for opening and closing at all, Li Yueying was so angry that her face was red, but she had no choice but to watch the seven sons of Wudang shouting and riding on the car to show off.

Even Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An couldn't help but be curious and went up to try it, which was quite interesting. Bai Xiaoqi is the most arrogant, he will not let go of a car, and said that the car will be for him in the future.

Where are everyone willing to obey, they didn't expect Bai Xiaoqi to move out of Li Yueying, everyone in Wudang was dumbfounded, they all knew that Li Yueying loved him the most, and even Xiao Han couldn't help him, so he had to acquiesce in this matter.

Xiao Han ordered Chu Tianshu to prepare a lot of tung oil for the maintenance of the bicycle, and there were no bearings in the rest of this era, Xiao Han made relevant modifications, and the wheels were directly brought with gears, and the wheels were driven forward with the power of the pedal, although it was much harder than the bicycles of later generations, but it was also a helpless move.

The bicycle is simple in construction and built by hand, although it is a bit troublesome, but the quality is guaranteed. Xiao Han ordered all the disciples to learn, in fact, it was not a matter for them at all, it was just that the wolf had a lot of meat and could not be distributed.

In the blink of an eye, the departure time has come, and the Wudang faction has all dispatched except for the remaining personnel, and the disciples of the White Tiger Hall, Xuanwu Hall, Dizi Hall, Rizi Hall, Yuezi Hall and Tianshan Sect have descended the mountain in turn, and the four elders of Wudang, Li Yueying's brothers and sisters, Chai Xinyue, Murong Qiuyu, Sun Xuehui, Ye Zixuan's mother and son, Hao Yufei's mother and son, Wudang's seventh son and Su Ruotong followed, and nearly 600 people marched towards the Yangtze River in batches.

Xiao Han didn't have time to assemble the golden key, so he could only ask Sunan Xing to put it away, and Murong Qiuyu was responsible for this kind of thing before. After Sunan Xing came back, she wanted to give him the box, but Xiao Han insisted on letting her keep it, so she had no choice but to keep it for the time being.

Sunan Xing is now quite lonely, seeing that everyone is revolving around Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu and Chai Xinyue every day, even Su Ruotong is getting closer and closer to Chai Xinyue, and she has no one to know except for Fan Haochen, an apprentice.

Although Gu Zhonghe and the others respected her, they also seemed to be a little more angry, and they were not as comfortable as staying with Li Yueying and others. Sunan Xing has the same cold attitude towards everyone, although the disciples of the Tianshan Sect like her very much, few of them dare to come forward to talk and laugh with her, and even Jiangdong Pavilion, who has always liked her the most, usually does not dare to provoke her, let alone other senior brothers.

There is nothing to say all the way, all affairs have their own Ye Zixuan to take care of, not a day to cross the Yangtze River to Jinling, ten miles away from the city to see the front of the banner exhibition, a team of people and horses stand in charge, there are two or three thousand people.

There were six war horses lined up behind him, and a group of hundreds of cavalry behind him, each of whom was wearing bright armor, holding a battle flag in his left hand and holding a spear in his right hand.

The cavalry was followed by thousands of infantry, equally well-armored and imposing. The disciples of Wudang and the disciples of the Tianshan faction both knew that this was the Southern Tang Dynasty sending troops to greet them, and they were not afraid, but the two sides could not fall into the momentum when they saw each other, and immediately the whole team was formed by the helmsmen of each hall, and even the disciples of the Tianshan faction followed the line.

Jin Yushu suddenly opened his mouth to lead the singing of the Wudang battle song, and hundreds of Wudang disciples echoed in unison, singing loudly, which frightened the people on the official road to hide on the side of the road.

The Wudang disciples all changed their new clothes, and their momentum was not inferior to the Southern Tang army. Xiao Han was very satisfied, riding a tall horse, Li Yueying on the left, Chai Xinyue on the right, Murong Qiuyu and Sunan Xing on the back, and then the four brothers of the Tianshan faction and Sun Xuehui.

The seventh son of Wudang and Su Ruotong also rode horses, their little faces tightened, and they followed at the end with their heads held high. Seeing that there was still a few zhang distance between the two sides, the Wudang disciples parted to both sides, the singing stopped abruptly, and everyone watched Xiao Han pull the horse slowly, and when he arrived at the front of the whole team, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, Li Yueying, Chai Xinyue, Murong Qiuyu and others came down in turn and stood behind him.

The young general on the opposite side and the generals behind him rolled the saddle and dismounted at the same time, and the young general hugged his fists and smiled: "Marquis Xiao is here, the last general has been waiting here for three days." ”

Xiao Han clasped his fists and saluted: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know that General Xue personally led the team, I am really ashamed to be late." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xue Dingfang's old son Xue Jian had been promoted to the commander of Panyu and was responsible for guarding the south. Xue Dingfang has already been promoted to the commander of the Crane Army, that is, Li Congshan protects his cronies, it can be seen that this kid was promoted quickly, but it is rumored that the officialdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty is respected by everyone, and no one says anything at all, and his reputation is much stronger than his Lao Tzu.

The two of them finished greetings, Xue Dingfang dressed up, and led his soldiers to see the three princesses, Li Yueying smiled and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

Xue Dingfang led the crowd to straighten up and said with a smile: "The young general has sent someone back to inform that the emperor will lead the civil and military ministers to wait for the concubine and the three princesses outside the city gate." ”

Xiao Han was startled and said, "The emperor will also come?" Xue Dingfang said with a smile: "Hou Ye Pingnan has merit, and the emperor has always loved the princess, and he has already said that he will come to greet him in person." ”

Li Yueying was surprised and said, "Then we won't leave quickly, don't let the imperial brother wait." Xue Dingfang shook his head and smiled: "Hou Ye and the three princesses really can't go fast, and the commanders of Jiangnan are waiting for Hou Ye five miles ahead." ”

Xiao Han was surprised: "Are they all here?" Xue Dingfang said with a smile: "In addition to the cabinet and ministers, all the commanders and envoys from all over the country were recalled by the emperor to the capital to participate in the ceremony of the prince and the princess, and my father set up a tent in front of him the night before yesterday to wait. Yang Shui, Zhu Lingbin, and Zheng Yanhua, vice ministers of national defense, and commanders and envoys from the 19 states of the Tang Dynasty were all present, and a total of 172 people from the state capitals had already arrived in the capital to wait for half of the month. ”

Xiao Han and everyone were dumbfounded when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Congshan to make such a big deal and call all the top leaders of the state capitals and army leaders across the country to attend the wedding.

Li Yueying is the lord who likes to be lively, and said to Chai Xinyue with a smile: "Did my sister hear it? ”

Li Yueying was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and smiled: "That girl is studying art in Funiu Mountain, it's too late to call it now, and besides, her mouth is too stinky, I don't like it." ”

Chai Xinyue smiled silently, and Xue Dingfang followed: "Don't hide it from the three princesses, Jinling City is now a city full of red and flowers, and merchants from all over the world gather, all of whom are civilian giants who come to watch the ceremony." I heard that the Qiantang Qian family sent the prince to watch the ceremony to congratulate, and the Great Song Dynasty also sent an envoy to come, and now he is waiting in the post house. ”

Xiao Han was dumbfounded and said, "Is there a need for this?" Murong Qiuyu said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe, let's not let you adults wait." ”

Xue Dingfang bowed back, everyone got back on their horses, two teams and one team, and went towards Jinling City. As soon as Xiao Han got on the horse, he suddenly heard Guan Xiangming, the master of the Xuanwu Hall who was in charge of guarding, shouting: "Who?"
