Chapter 388: Green Dragon

This is the 27th day of May in the eighth year of Wanli, and the military and civilian officials on the road leading to the noon gate in Beijing City were all driven to the side of the road, watching in ignorance as the unprecedented monster passed through the heavenly street.

Many soldiers and civilians had seen Huo De Xingjun, but it was a small mount dedicated to the emperor, it looked about the size of a person, and the voice it made was more gentle, and it didn't seem to let people associate with the gods except for his name, but like a helpless little old man who was fixed on a tricycle.

But this one is obviously different, and one cannot associate it with His Majesty's little mount.

The shouts and shouts were all hidden in the white smoke from the transformed giant Fire De Xingjun Type B, and the power contained in the sound of gold and stone emitted by the parts in the body made everyone cover their mouths and noses uneasily.

It was massive, it was heavy, about the height of a horse-mounted horse, dragging another equally large but unencased steam engine through the heavenly streets, crushing the stones beneath the great wheel with an overwhelming cry with every step.

Due to the strange design of the shell, it reflected red light from its mouth and nose, and from time to time it spewed out a large amount of white gas, so that Xu Guangqi, who was controlled behind it, was hidden in the clouds and mist like an immortal.

Xu Guangqi is not as fairy as the people on the side of the road seem, this strange design makes him criticized, and it is also the source of his embarrassment.

The steam is hot, even when it is sprayed forward.

The advancing Huo De Xingjun would still bring him into the steam that had not completely cooled down, and if it wasn't for Huo De Xingjun blocking in front of him, his face would probably be burned. Even so, as a royal master, he still had to raise his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and this breath made it difficult for him to breathe.

Moreover, he is a king.

With the change of the model of Huode Xingjun, the larger the model, the more difficult it is to control, and the weight-bearing hollow iron wheel will change direction by touching anything on the way, but the line of sight will be blocked, which will cause him great trouble.

Thanks to the slow speed and the clear market of Jinyiwei, Xu Guangqi was able to open this Huo De Xingjun, which was nearly 4,000 catties and dragged more than 3,000 catties, to noon without danger.

Along the way, everyone was very hard, and Jinyiwei's horse was also very hard...... They had never walked so slowly even in their daily training, and by the end of the second mile they had even grown impatient with the horses, unable to maintain a stable formation any longer, refusing to accept the drum beat from the waist drum eunuch in front, and a few horses marched forward with great strides.

In the distance, I could finally see a large group of people waiting there at the end of the Heavenly Street.

Zhou Sijing, who has been following the steam locomotive, has been wiping his sweat all the way, he is different from Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi and the two workers who added coal and water to the car are hot, and he is scared.

They walked for a long, long time, and they were even hungry, and four groups of people came along the way to see where they went.

The first one to come was the eunuch, who said that Empress Dowager Li had taken a look at the city gate tower and returned to the palace.

The second one came from the Ministry of Industry, saying that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu had saved us from being tired and went to the Yanyin Building to rest.

The third one came from the cabinet, saying that Zhang Ge had returned to the cabinet to sort out government affairs, urging them to hurry up.

The fourth one came from the eunuch, saying that Duke Feng had an order to slow down the cart and not to frighten the emperor.

The real bigwigs in Beijing are waiting under the noon gate.

Zhou Sijing, a small person who doesn't have much experience in officialdom, how can he not feel frightened by this...... It was only then that he knew that no one was blaming the Steam Bureau for breaking the city wall.

What do you think this good guy is sending Beizhen Fusi over? Isn't Beizhen Fusi in charge of people, the world's first Huode Xingjun is still in the edict prison, and he was escorted away by Beizhen Fusi back then.

The Wanli Emperor, who was surrounded by people, stood on the noon gate.

Except for running in the palace for two moments in the morning and going to the East Palace to read for two hours in the afternoon, the rest of the time has been on the noon gate.

Even if he was hungry and sleepy, he stood here, because he stubbornly believed that the first Huo De Xingjun that could be put into practical use walked from outside the capital to the noon gate of the Forbidden City, and no matter how long he waited, he should still see it with his own eyes.

It's just that time has crushed his enthusiasm.

In the sunset of the West Mountain, the lanterns on the long street were raised one by one, and the wide heavenly street was only dark, so he finally couldn't help but ask Feng Bao to send someone to see where Huo De Xingjun went.

The words left by the emperor were that if they were still far away, they would come back tomorrow morning to see them, and if they were not far away, let them walk slowly, for it would be hard to walk for a day.

In fact, Wanli was a little angry...... You all went out from the Steam Bureau and bumped into You'anmen, so you can walk more or less a mile, but why haven't you come here after walking for three hours? How slow is that!

It was indeed very slow, and when Xu Guangqi was driving the Huo De Xingjun through a non-existent line under the noon gate, the military eunuch standing next to him stepped on his war horse and quickly ran towards the Jinshui Bridge, shouting: "Your Majesty, four hours and three quarters, twenty-four miles!" ”

Wanli on the city gate tower yawned only halfway and forced him to shut up, stopping this normal physiological impulse, he frowned and walked quickly, so fast that the little short-legged King Lu and the little Mongolian prince behind him couldn't catch up, so he staggered down the city gate tower.

As he walked, he muttered: "It's less than an hour, it's less than six miles, it's too slow!" ”

Needless to say from the emperor, the imperial guards composed of the generals of the Han Dynasty had already opened their guard under the noon gate.

In fact, the emperor no longer likes the imperial guards to show people in this old costume, he prefers the unicorn clothes worn by the brocade guards with breastplates and arm bindings, especially the world's peace gun with a spur on his hand.

The most powerful imperial guards had to use the best weapons to do the most important things - the old golden armor and the golden gourd symbolizing the Son of Heaven could no longer meet the needs of the emperor.

But this order can't be carried out, just like he can get rid of officials he doesn't like but can't promote officials he likes, there are rules in this world after all, even if the canary in the cage grows into a goose, it hasn't evolved a pair of eyes that look small at everyone after all.

Huo De Xingjun's qi was vented, and under the huge inertia, he took more than a dozen steps forward with a snorting anger.

After a slight stop, Xu Guangqi staggered down from behind Huo De Xingjun, his legs were weak and he almost fell to his knees, it is a gratifying good thing to control Huo De Xingjun for half an hour, but the same thing is repeated for four hours, which is more like punishment than going to prison.

His appearance was extremely embarrassed, his whole body was soaked, and he held his arms and trembled unconsciously with the night breeze, but before he could twist the hem of his dripping robe, the director Zhou Sijing touched him, and then bowed respectfully.

Xu Guangqi's brain was smoked by the steam that had been swirling for four hours, and he just looked north stupidly following Zhou Sijing's gaze.

The steam was dissipating, and on the Jinshui Bridge at night, the kerosene lamps in the two glass covers were shining brightly, and he saw the eunuch and the brocade guards surrounded by a young man with a round hat and a cuirass showing the sun and moon robe in front of the car, crossed his arms and looked up at the tall Huode Xingjun, tilted his head and said in a questioning tone: "Zhou Sijing, I want you to take out the Xuanwu in the morning, why did you get me a green dragon?" ”
