Chapter 444 Alliance (5)
The locomotive was emitting huge thick black smoke, crawling hard on the rails.
This is the first real railway in the State of Chu. It is more than fifty kilometers long from the capital to the port town closest to the capital. It is obviously only a matter of time before the rail carriages are replaced by trains.
The wooden carriage is a semi-open structure that allows you to enjoy the pastoral scenery outside, but it looks like a retro tourist old train on earth.
There were only five people in the carriage. The Crown Prince Ping invited two sisters and brother-in-law to appreciate the highest achievements in the development of Chu's science and technology in recent years. In addition, the fourth princess Jin Yun also accompanied him.
Ningshuang and Shuzhi, the bright sisters, sat on Le Chen's side, one left and one right, which made Le Chen quite proud, especially Ningshuang. She obviously felt a little embarrassed when she was in front of her brothers and sisters. Now she was arranged to sit on Le Chen's side, one left and one right, and her behavior was even more unnatural. She was wearing snow-white military uniforms and was cold, but she didn't dare to look at Le Chen and talk to Le Chen. However, it was her proud little reserve that made Le Chen feel more satisfied.
Jinyun opposite was wearing an extremely gorgeous red dress, and her chest was squeezed out of a deep gully, which was extremely sexy and charming. When she thought that the beautiful lady who spoke softly and slowly on the other side had secretly stuffed her a handkerchief and sat between Ningshuang and Shuzhi, Le Chen felt a sense of guilt that she seemed to have an affair with someone. Of course, she felt stimulating and felt a little guilty, because she was afraid that Jinyun would have something that could not resist.
Fortunately, Jinyun was normal all the way, and she didn't show off her charm. She didn't even say a few words to Lechen, but she just chatted with Shuzhi. As for Ningshuang, she has been practicing with her master since she was a child. Except for her younger sister Shuzhi, she has no deep feelings with the other princes and daughters.
"Brother-in-law, based on your experience, how many years will it take for me, Chu Xing to develop into a machine flying in the sky?" Prince Ping was extremely respectful to Le Chen's expression, and he didn't look like a brother-in-law talking to his brother-in-law. Of course, he was very sensible and not flattering, and more like a student asking the teacher for questions. This attitude also shows that he has not experienced in the power struggle for inheriting the throne over the years.
Le Chen thought for a while and said, "If it were a machine flying in the atmosphere of the planet, it would always appear in decades. But if you want to fly out of this planet, don't think about it. There are a lot of starry sky monsters outside Chuxing, and they do not have the conditions to develop cosmic travel. It is precisely because of this that the footprints of Parenard's expedition team did not come to Chuxing, making Chuxing a paradise. Speaking of which, this is not a bad thing for you."
Prince Ping was stunned and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't think so far away from this star. I was satisfied with being able to sit on a flying machine in my lifetime."
"Dad, my mother and I said, "Our family is moving away. Wouldn't it be better to ask my brother to take us out?" As a result, Dad scolded me!" Shuzhi pouted.
Prince Ping smiled bitterly: "It is the ancestral teaching of our Ji family to protect the Chu people, and it is also the responsibility of our Ji family. It would be better to be so easy as you tell me." In fact, although life outside is novel, it is better to be a rooster head than a phoenix tail. How glorious is the Ji family now? Moreover, my brother-in-law gave elixirs to improve everyone's physical condition. I think I will always take care of my family like this in the future. No matter how I think about it, Chu Xing's power is more worthy of nostalgia.
"I want to go out and never come back!" Jin Yun sighed softly. She naturally had a different idea from Prince Ping, who could inherit the throne.
"If my brother-in-law agrees, you will go with us. If you miss your father and mother, come back with me to visit your relatives. My brother has opened a safe teleportation point in this airspace. You can come back at any time without my brother accompanying me!" Shuzhi said and looked at Le Chen: "Brother, would you please take the fourth sister and the others together?"
"I can leave without your brother-in-law's consent!" Jin Yun bit his red lips and then secretly glanced at Le Chen.
Le Chen coughed: "There is no need to be impulsive in this matter, just think about it." Speaking of which, he really doesn't want to have too much interaction with Jin Yun. This fourth princess has a lot of thoughts, far from being simple as Shuzhi Ningshuang, so it's better to stay away from him.
Jin Yun's pretty face darkened and he nodded slightly: "Brother-in-law said yes."
...
I talked and laughed all the way. After more than two hours, the train drove into this port town called Lianyun. This is a port trading town with a population of more than 100,000. It is the center of offshore transportation and has extremely developed trade.
After wandering around Lianyun Town, although surrounded by a group of guards, it would attract citizens from afar, shopping in and out of various shops is a long-lost experience for Le Chen, and it is quite fresh.
An ancient emperor on earth liked to make eunuchs and palace maids play various city vendors, and he played a customer and bargain with these vendors and enjoyed it. Le Chen felt that from a certain perspective, his current mentality was almost the same as that of the merchant, but the reason was different. The emperor lived in the deep palace since he was a child and had no chance to travel to the market. He was because the shopping method of Parenard's world was completely different from that of the earth, so he could find a trace of the earth here.
The few people finally entered a dessert shop, and of course they took care of Shuzhi. Shuzhi suddenly became taciturn and didn't know if she was tired.
Although the guards did not drive the passengers, the owner took the initiative to clear the shop, waived the orders of the customers in the store and asked them to leave. He also hung a sign that was temporarily unopened at the door.
Although the information is not developed now, even if the photo of the crown prince has been published in the newspaper, few people will remember it. However, the news that the crown prince came to Lianyun Town will soon spread throughout the town. The owner of the shop naturally knew who these young men and women of great origins were. He was so happy to see the crown prince and others entering his shop. What is this small loss in front of him? If the crown prince's magic treasures can be left behind, it will be difficult for this small shop to be popular in the future.
"Liu Yatou, are you okay?" Jin Yun asked with concern. Shuzhi used holographic decoration to cover up her beautiful face of the elf, which also made others unable to judge her status from her face. But she suddenly stopped talking, which made everyone very worried.
After sitting down, Shuzhi began to whisper to her sister, and then she slid her little head: "Sister Four, I'm fine."
Le Chen looked at Shuzhi in surprise, but Shuzhi sent a message saying that she finally understood what the image she saw in Stonehenge represents. It was Maggie who was summoning her and inviting her to meet.
When he saw the summoning of the elves in Stonehenge, Le Chen was shocked. He felt it was too incredible. He even suspected that Shuzhi had received the information incorrectly and was bewitched by evil things. But he had his own protection at that time, and it seemed that he shouldn't have been.
"Brother, can I go?" Shuzhi looked at Le Chen with a gaze.
Le Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll accompany you!" He winked at Ningshuang again and told her to rest assured.
Ningshuang nodded slightly.8919
