192 Agitation
Landor rode up and followed, and when he followed, he looked left and right, his eyes full of doubt. ,
It's amazing, just two wheels, although the speed is not as fast as riding a horse, it is much faster than a normal walk, or even running, from the Vermilion Bird Gate to the present, not to mention walking three miles, whether it is a horse or a person, they are a little panting, but Zheng Peng is like no one, not in a hurry, not tired, not dry, and in the mood to whistle.
Lan Duo could see clearly that Zheng Peng's whole person was sitting on something a bit like a saddle, his feet were not on the ground, but he kept stepping on two strange pedals, and it should be the chain that pulled the two wheels to make the car keep moving forward.
Especially when going downhill, Zheng Peng's feet didn't have to move, and the car was still running fast.
Following the car, the horse had to trot all the way to keep up, and Lando was too surprised to speak.
Zheng Peng stepped on it, turned his head to look at Lan Duo, who looked like a curious baby, let go of his hand and inquired: "Hey, Lan Duo County Lord, you are dressed up very beautifully today." ”
Lan Duo snorted coldly, and wanted to turn his head over, but under the urging of curiosity, he still asked, "Deputy Envoy Zheng, you... What exactly are you riding? ”
It was just a pile of rotten wood, but it can be transformed, as if by magic, into a very fast car, which can be ridden fast by one person without pulling a horse or being pushed by anyone.
It is no exaggeration to say that the speed is as fast as the carriage pulling the goods.
"This car is called a bicycle, what's the matter, Lord Lando is ready to admit defeat?" Zheng Peng said with a smile.
Lan Duo's beautiful little head was slightly raised, like a proud peacock, and said with a cold face: "Admit defeat? How is it possible, Deputy Envoy Zhang has walked five miles at most, and our warrior Zavel, who is a Turcha Shi, is already ten miles away, not to mention eating dust, even if he can't see a human figure, how can he lose? ”
"Oh, yes, I hope you can keep it that way, hahaha." Zheng Peng said confidently.
For some reason, the confidence on Zheng Peng's face that flowed from the bottom of his heart made Lan Duo feel a little unconfident, and this feeling appeared for the first time from agreeing to the competition to now.
"Hmph, it's obviously backward, and you're not ashamed to speak like this." Lan Duo snorted coldly, ignoring Zheng Peng's reaction, slowing down, but still following closely behind Zheng Peng.
Insist on not giving Zheng Peng a chance to cheat.
An interesting scene appeared on the official road: Zheng Peng rode a bicycle in front alone, followed by Ah Jun and Huang San, then Lan Duo and her guards, and finally the overseers composed of Honglu Temple and Tuqishi.
It feels good, like a general going on patrol.
The fastest record of the bicycle is 181 kilometers per hour, like a mountain bike, the speed of fifty or sixty per hour is normal, but it is assisted by a field or equipment, Zheng Peng's design is very scientific and ingenious, but it can really be ridden, and the estimated speed is about 18 kilometers per hour.
The official road from Chang'an to Luoyang is good, maintained all year round, the kind of hard and soft loess naturally with a layer of shock absorption, it is very comfortable to step on, the effect of long-term training has also come out, physical strength, endurance has been greatly enhanced, Zheng Peng is not in a hurry when riding, and strives for the most labor-saving and efficient way to ride.
The car is cleverly designed, the workmanship is fine, the road is smooth and smooth, Zheng Peng is also energetic, and he is not only efficient but also fast to ride.
It is no exaggeration to say that this speed will not be slow in later generations.
Lan Duo followed behind, with a look of disdain on the surface, but secretly surprised in his heart: unconsciously, Zheng Peng had been riding for almost an hour, and his horse's physical strength had decreased significantly, but Zheng Peng rode tirelessly, although sometimes he rode slower to drink water and eat something.
However, Zheng Peng has not rested.
Although he couldn't keep up with Zavier, Zheng Peng's physical strength made Lan Duo secretly surprised.
looks like a weak scholar, but this kind of endurance is much stronger than ordinary people.
Zheng Peng really didn't feel tired, the scenery on the road was beautiful, Huang San and the thief could chat, after distraction, he rode while walking, very relaxed, there were many people on the official road, seeing such a novel and interesting bicycle, many people stopped to look and chat, and some young women also took the initiative to talk to Zheng Peng.
With a disaster-level beauty Landuo by her side, the road is not lonely at all.
However, Zheng Peng admired Lan Duo a little, and had a more serious energy, saying that he would monitor all the way, and those subordinates did not agree to let her rest.
With such a big sun, I am not afraid of tanning.
"Lord Lando, so tired, don't follow, this bet, you will lose, three hundred gold is not a small amount, go back and prepare early." Zheng Peng said with a smile while stepping on it.
"You want to transfer Miss Ben and then take the opportunity to cheat, don't you?" Lan Duo said coldly: "I said, I will follow you from beginning to end. ”
For Zheng Peng, it was too easy to cheat, two of his subordinates rode four horses, and when Lan Duo saw Zheng Peng cross a hurdle with his own eyes, he picked up the bicycle with one hand, and if he didn't pay attention, he could let his subordinates carry it at any time.
Speaking of this, Lan Duo's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said, "Vice Envoy Zheng is so confident, why don't you increase the stakes a little?" ”
"How much?"
"Just a thousand gold, do you dare?"
I don't know why, Lan Duo and Guo Ketang are very similar, when it comes to money, their eyes will glow, as if they have won, and they also used the agitation method on Zheng Peng.
"What don't you dare," Zheng Peng said with an affirmative face: "I'm afraid that Lord Lando won't be able to come up with so much cash." ”
Money is not too much at any time, the performance of this bicycle is even better than Zheng Peng imagined, this competition can be said to be a sure victory, someone took the initiative to send money to himself, Zheng Peng how can he not want the reason.
The more the merrier.
Lan Duo said confidently: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Tuqishi, cattle, horses and sheep everywhere, not to mention anything else, just that hundred miles chasing the wind, how much is it worth a thousand gold, my Abba hurts me the most, a thousand gold is just pediatrics, why, Deputy Envoy Zheng can't take it?" ”
It makes sense, it's a county lord anyway, Zheng Peng immediately agreed: "Okay, so-and-so agreed, the bet is about 1,000 gold, do you want to sign a contract?" ”
"No, I believe in Deputy Envoy Zheng's character." Lando said generously.
After chatting for a while, and with an extra seven hundred taels of gold, Zheng Peng was in a good mood, and he stepped harder for a while.
Time is money.
Lan Duo was very disdainful of Zheng Peng at first, his face was ugly, he listened to his words, and ignored Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng didn't care, and deliberately told stories loudly, such as Snow White, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Mermaids, One Thousand and One Nights, these stories came to him, and said to Huang San vividly.
Where have the ancient people heard these stories, Huang San and A Jun were fascinated by it, and slowly, the people of Honglu Temple also followed behind to listen, and then the people of Tuqishi, Lan Duo was still a little reserved at first, but the more he listened, the more interesting it became, and with the number of people, he was slowly squeezed outside.
In the end, Lan Duo blasted Huang San away, took his place, and said that he would focus on monitoring Zheng Peng, so as not to let someone secretly push him, and listen to Zheng Peng tell the story with peace of mind.
