Chapter 1112: Go to White Mountain first
This was the first time they had entered the city since they came to the Xuanfeng Continent, and after entering the city, they were attracted by a kind of car on the street.
It's not a horse-drawn carriage, it's a tricycle, but it's not pedaled, it's hand-cranked, and the front wheels are used as power wheels.
Zuo Lan said yes, this place is indeed much more advanced than the Xuanyuan Continent. But how tired the car looked, the wooden wheels without bearings, and the relatively small strength of the arms to shake, must have been quite tiring.
Xiang Bei said that it was a car for the disabled, and the able-bodied people would rather ride a donkey.
Zuo Lan asked if he wanted to buy him one, following the local customs, it was just right for him, and it was not easy for people to recognize their identities.
Xiang Bei said yes, but there is no money, so you can't use the coins of the Xuanyuan Continent.
"I have prepared nuggets of silver. Zuo Lan said and dismounted, stopped a man rocking a tricycle, and asked him where this car was sold?
The man asked him what he was buying this car for?
Zuo Lan pointed to Xiang Bei.
The man told him that he didn't sell it, so he went to the carpenter to make it order, and there was a carpenter's shop in front of it. This thing doesn't sell much, how can anyone sell it specifically.
Zuo Lan thanked him and told Xiang Bei to get one, which looked quite interesting.
They came to the carpenter's shop, and after Zuo Lan showed his intention, the carpenter looked Xiang Bei up and down, and said that Xiang Bei's head had to be made a large one to be comfortable, but the larger the one, the more expensive it was, and it cost two silver coins.
Zuo Lan asked, "Is it okay to use silver to change lines?"
The carpenter said yes, but the silver may be more expensive, after all, if you want to exchange it for silver coins, you will have to charge a coinage fee, so you need more than half a dollar of silver.
Zuo Lan said that there was no problem, and took out a piece of silver and asked if it was enough?
The carpenter said enough, of course it was enough, it could be made into three silver coins, let her wait a moment and find him the money herself.
Zuo Lan said no, just give priority to it, and asked him how long it would take to do it?
The carpenter replied quickly, half an hour is enough, the most difficult wheels to make are the same as the wheels of a cart, and there are many of them in the shop. There is also a set of crank frames for other vehicles, just make a seat, and half an hour is enough.
Zuo Lan said then wait here, he will get it.
The carpenter agreed, and began to get busy, asking them as he worked, to see if they had weapons and were warriors. There have been a lot of warriors in the city recently, is there something going on?
Zuo Lan said that it was okay, he just wanted to go to the beach to catch someone.
"Go to the beach, that's with the musket troops, anyway, we haven't fought here, it's been really lively lately, I heard that there are ships coming from the sea, transferred from the nearest military port. ”
This boss is very talkative, Zuo Lan looked at Xiang Bei, Xiang Bei just smiled, now it is almost certain that someone is indeed coming to arrest them. I had planned to stay in the city for two days and then go to the beach to observe, but now it seems that this operation is not kept secret at all, and even the carpenter knows about it. But think about it, what's the secret, they think the Lingyu is still at sea.
Xiang Bei looked at Hao Pang and told him that all the money on him was lost, and it was inconvenient, so he asked him to go out and find a pawn shop to exchange some money and come back. By the way, look for any decent restaurants and book a few rooms.
Hao Pang agreed to leave, he also wanted to find a place to sleep quickly, and he slept in the car on the way here, and he really didn't sleep well on the road. In addition, he is unfamiliar with the place and the enemy's territory, so he is very careful to follow the trend and thunder, and he hardly breaks when he is not driving, and has to keep an eye on the road.
Xiang Bei asked the old carpenter: "Old man, have you heard about our Baishan Kingdom going to fight at sea?"
The old carpenter said that there was no such thing, didn't it mean that the ships had gone out to practice, where did the battle come from? The White Mountain Kingdom has not fought for many years. Who on the mainland dares to attack Bai Shangguo, the battles between them make them destined to be small countries, so it is strange that they can be big when they fight back and forth.
Xiang Bei understood, Baishan Kingdom has not revealed the news of going to the Xuanyuan Continent to fight until now, which is understandable, and it is not wrong with what he thought. If the news leaks out now, the situation on the entire continent will change subtly. The countries are not stupid, they know that the war between countries is being urged by the White Ice Country, but they dare not fight, otherwise they will be attacked by the White Ice Country with an excuse. If this news leaks out, then countries should start to consider whether the White Ice Country still has the ability to control them, and they should start waiting for the news from the Xuanyuan Continent.
Thinking in his heart, Xiang Bei asked the old carpenter, there should be someone in this city who is a soldier, that is a glorious thing, he has wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, but he has been missing this leg since birth. But fortunately, his two younger brothers are in the army, and they are also warriors. This time, I received a task and specially brought myself over to watch the excitement.
Xiang Bei is quite capable of nonsense, but his doppelganger has indeed been crippled since birth, so this is not a lie.
The old carpenter laughed proudly, and said that his eldest son was in the army, and he was a musketeer. The treatment is good, being a soldier in Baishan Country is envied by everyone, not only does not have to fight, but the whole family can eat enough, how good. Asked his two younger brothers that since they can take people to watch the excitement, they should have a certain official position, at least a captain. Can you help your son in the army?
Xiang Bei said that he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and the troops who went to sea were different from those who stayed behind on land. The two of them are just ordinary warriors in the army, and it doesn't work to go to other people's troops to talk.
The old man smiled, saying that it was just a joke.
Xiang Bei couldn't bear to talk at this time, his son accompanied the army to fight against Xuanyuan, which meant that he might have died. I wanted to say more, but looking at the old man's age, I didn't want to mention it more. The army can be summoned, the old man has not received his son's letter for a long time, he should already be in a hurry, talking and laughing is just the surface, don't say more, if you say more, I'm afraid he will really think more. It's the same if you talk to someone else, there's no need to talk to such an old man.
It took exactly half an hour to make the tricycle, no more, no less. Hao Pang also came back from his busy work outside, Xiang Bei shook his new car, and they went back to the restaurant together. After dinner in the restaurant, several people gathered together to discuss.
Xiang Bei told them that he would leave early tomorrow morning. There are three tasks this time, the first is to go to the White Mountain in the White Mountain Country, so tomorrow I will go directly to the west and go to the White Mountain first.
After Baishan, he went to Wangcheng to find out what happened to Cheng Cai. Then we have to figure out whether the Baishan Kingdom has a plan to attack the Xuanyuan Continent next, if there is, it is to gather the coalition forces of various countries to go, and they themselves no longer have this ability.
In this way, it is necessary to find a way to expose the defeat of the White Mountain Kingdom in the Xuanyuan Continent. In that case, no one will listen to his command, and he will even besiege the White Mountain Kingdom. If you do this, you won't have to worry about it in the future.
Hao Pang asked if the game is so big, can it be done by just the four of them?
Xiang Bei said that he didn't know, who knew where to go? But it was still the same sentence, things are man-made, and you have to try.
Hao Pang said that if the enemy can't wait for the Lingyu on the coast, he will know that he has been deceived, and even suspect that he has landed, which is probably very difficult to do.
Xiang Bei said that it was okay, even if Cheng Cai was controlled and used by the enemy, they could still use it on their side. As long as the two parties can get in touch, they can continue to deceive, not afraid. Use the news to mobilize them and not clash head-on, just these four rookies, there is no qualification for head-on conflict.
Feng Yilei said that if he followed others and said that he wanted to do this, he would not believe that he could succeed. But if you follow him to the north, you will definitely succeed.
Xiang Bei asked him when he learned to be so flamboyant and so good at slapping his flattery?
As soon as the wind and thunder were deflated, several people laughed.
