The winter sun shines quietly into the carriage, there is not much temperature, and the heat emitted by the popularity is more vigorous, making the surroundings warm, and the sound is also noisy, with various smells.

In the rapid running of the train, the whole carriage vibrated steadily and rhythmically, and a young man sat in the window, quietly listening to the noisy conversation of the people in the carriage, occasionally saying a few words to the girl in the colorful skirt next to him, and looking out of the window more often.

The withered yellow grassland receded in his field of vision, and the cold wind made the glass windows cold, which was the breath of winter.

From the point of view of the plan, after the initial short section of the railway, there are thousands of miles to the Shanbei area of the Lingzhou boundary, and the road below is the end, and you have to take the ordinary dirt road - there will be no official road developed by the imperial court here in Shanbei, and the Wei State will not take care of it.

In three months, the railway had just been laid to the north of Lingzhou, where it was a small station, and the platform was also a small earthen platform.

In the car window, I heard a pastoral song, ancient and desolate, very leisurely in the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the ears of the young man were very keen, and then quietly listened to the distant singing, compared with the rumbling wheel rolling, there was a subtle illusion of time and space intertwined.

"Beep-"

The whistle sounded in the carriages, accompanied by the voice of the train attendant: "The terminal is coming, passengers pack their luggage and prepare to get off the train......"

Unlike the sister attendants on the Yingzhou train, the grassland special train is arranged with soldiers, or if you can't suppress things, things on the grassland will not be safe.

As soon as the railway was built, there were dozens of horse bandits attacking the train, but the result was the thunderous anger of Yingzhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Kill all the horse bandits and leave no one behind!"

"All women, young and old, were beheaded and built into the foundation of the platform. ”

These two cruel orders, in the Han army and the Northern Wei Dao soldiers and sorcerers united, to carry out strangulation, I don't know how many small tribes, just took in horse thieves, and exterminated the clan.

"Where the interests are, enemies will become friends. The young man whispered, his smile a little sarcastic.

With the completion of the railway and transportation to the north, the Northern Wei Dynasty quickly recognized its potential and has now attached great importance to it.

When the train slowed down and slowly stopped on the platform, the passengers poured out, the big bags and small bags of merchants were waiting to get off the train later, and the young people followed the flow of people, neither early nor late, and the girl in the colorful skirt turned back step by step in front of him, as if she was afraid that he would be lost, and looked like a loyal servant.

This made the young man a little speechless, and he said: "Liniang, don't be nervous." ”

"Hmm. Liniang responded obediently and muttered in her heart...... It's not that I'm nervous, I'm afraid of who you will recognize.

When she won't admit that she has never been on such a long-distance train, she is not used to the sequelae.

The two of them were Ye Qing and the disciples of the Aoki Sect that he temporarily called, and in fact, no one recognized him when they got out of the car - the appearance of the doppelganger was very different from the main body, and he deliberately changed it with makeup, and the breath of the Qingmai Dao body and the natal Yuanchen Dao body was also completely different, and the breath after the reshaping of the immortal body was even more different.

Even if the team leader of the inspection frowned and looked at it for a while, he didn't realize who he was facing, so he waved his hand and let him go: "Let's go, little white face." ”

Ye Qing put away the ticket, smiled slightly and went over, in fact, he just knew this squad leader, he was still a submissive teenager in his previous impression, but now he is a majestic person, this taste of the world always makes people confused, and he can't help himself.

Before you know it, it's all gone.

Some of the merchants who took the long-distance train for the first time came down, their feet were a little weak, their faces turned pale, and they looked back at the long black steel beast behind them, and quickly withdrew their gaze, and went to the wagon car hanging behind them to pick up their belongings - with numbered vouchers, it is usually a partnership to charter a carriage, which is still very convenient for large-scale caravans.

The two of them pretended to have no goods to bring, so they pretended to be in a hurry and walked out of the temporary station.

I heard the sound of "hey, hey, hey", the sound was deep and complicated, and the sun was shining through the heat in this winter afternoon.

To the east, a large area of construction comes into view, and thousands of people are busy digging, moving, burying roadbeds, and laying steel rails.

A rumbling explosion suddenly sounded on a small hill farther away, and it was the road construction team of the Han army that was using small leaf fire thunder to open the mountain and level the road.

With the help of Taoism, it is indeed possible to greatly speed up the construction of infrastructure, but it is also subject to the power of nature.

Now in early winter, although the temperature is cold, the soil layer has not yet frozen, you have to rush to work before the shovel can still dig the earth, and then the soil layer is frozen as hard as steel, and the leaf fire and thunder alone can only blast out a small pit, so you can only use the magician to join to melt the soil, and the progress of the project will be much slower.

In order to promote the efficiency of the workers, it can be seen that the construction site is full of cauldrons of soup, mutton cut into pieces and thrown in, simply put some salt and green onion and ginger, which is a pot of warm soup in winter, distributed to the workers in line.

These were originally herdsmen, and some herdsmen picked them up and drank them, regardless of the heat, and took big gulps, drinking tears and tears: "I can't imagine that I can still drink broth every day in this life...... Immortal Heaven blesses Hanhou ......"

As she got farther and farther away, Li Niang looked back from two steps, looked at her stunned and said, "Do the people of Middle-earth also live so hard?"

"People live happily, regardless of Middle Earth and overseas ......," Ye Qing said simply, taking her around this construction site: "And the north side of Beibi Mountain is actually not the scope of Kyushu, and it belongs to the Eight Wilderness like yours." ”

Li Niang nodded when she heard this, knowing that her perception was biased, and she couldn't help asking: "These herdsmen, don't they raise sheep by themselves?"

"There are a lot of them, most of them are for the tribal leaders, exchanging food and spirits with the Southern Dynasties...... There are also some dry wheat and barley planted on the southern desert of the grassland, which are very cheap, so the staple food is not meat. Ye Qing is quite clear about the things on the grassland, and he has told this little girl a few treasures.

Li Niang was silent when she listened, she could feel the gray anger on these shepherd slaves, she didn't understand this kind of thing, and it took a long time before she spoke.

"In our Dongzhou, the villages and settlements are far apart, there are many crises, the monks, the nobles and the people are all standing together, there is not much harsh exploitation, and everyone is afraid of retaliation by shooting cold arrows behind the back in wartime......

"Fate is tied together, it can be regarded as living together, dying together, without this kind of cohesion, the village would have been destroyed by the wild beasts long ago, or let the alien race be flattened. ”

"It's also a way to live. Ye Qing commented briefly, his tone was flat, and from the perspective of his own breath, the train arrived here with a stream of red gas and spread.

Li Niang was not satisfied with this perfunctory answer, and wanted to ask if she could get better, but when she thought that she had only brought a fairy clone back on this trip, and neither the army nor the homeless people had brought back, she sighed and didn't have much hope...... Although this true monarch is powerful, if he doesn't go over in person, it will be useless in the end.

But what made her strange was that this person, who seemed to know the native language of the grassland, went to the tent area of the tribe to find a few people, chattered for a while, contacted several caravans, chose one to join, paid a deposit, and the head of the caravan vacated a carriage for the two of them, and then set off.

"Uh, can you ask, why did you choose this caravan?" Li Niang looked out the window of the car, she didn't have this kind of experience of traveling long distances in a carriage, and she was curious to see the hundreds of knight guards outside and the hundreds of vehicles full of goods, and couldn't help but wonder if this was the team that Zhenjun had arranged in advance...... But it seems that the guards are only slightly martial, not elite.

"Randomly chosen, it's not easy to calculate. Ye Qing said casually.

The carriage shook for a while, Li Niang was sullen, bowed her head and did not speak, she was almost desperate for the harvest of this trip now...... She was not yet utterly hopeless, because the true monarch had promised her that he would appear at sea with a large army in half a year, that is, in December.

You shouldn't lie to her as a mortal...... There is no need for this.

Ye Qing's clone is a fourth-layer Great Perfection of Qi refining, and he is expected to become a real person when he arrives in the Eastern Wilderness, but if his body does not improve, he will be a real person at most, and at this time, he glanced at her, smiled and did not speak.

From Zhenjun's point of view, this road is still very long, and there is no need to explain, just do it step by step.

The cold wind brought the aroma of grass, the wheel bones rattled, and occasionally collided and jumped on the slag, the vibration was a bit big, and it was nothing to the two people who had cultivated deeply, and as they quieted down and did not speak, their eyes gradually shifted to the car window.

On both sides of the horse team is the grass is withered yellow, and some of the pastures are still green, there are shepherds grazing, so I heard the melodious pastoral song, with a sense of original ecology, so that the surrounding cavalry are quiet and listen to this singing.

For many of the people in this convoy, this is the familiar taste of their hometown compared to the dreaded train just now.

In front of the convoy, the dirt road slowly spreads forward in the field of vision, the scene drifts backwards in the shaking of the board cars, and parallel to the roadbed laid by the local herders, waiting for the railroad tracks behind to be extended.

Ye Qing was very satisfied, although these roadbeds were not qualified, it was good to be able to do this before the arrival of winter, saving the paving team's man-hours in winter, Wei Guo was still very sincere...... Of course, it benefited greatly from the trade between the two major companies, otherwise there would be no capital and incentive to promote the construction of the railway.

Although Li Niang is a cultivator genius of Qingmai's generation, she is a young girl, and she quickly recovers her activity, and she is very interested in lying on the window and looking at the scene outside.

From time to time, there are knights riding horses over, and the little girl with a beautiful appearance and a lively expression is just in line with the aesthetics of the grassland people, that is, her eyes are bright, she whistles, and some of them show off their equestrian skills, the people on the grassland are so unrestrained, enthusiastic and direct, if the grassland girls see most of them, they will be excited.

But as an indigenous girl from the East China Sea, Li Niang couldn't receive this subtle signal, and frowned: "Inexplicably wonderful." ”

Ye Qing smiled and said, "They are showing their bravery, the warriors on the grassland are courting the girl like this, how do you feel?"

"Dengzi. Li Niang took a sip, very disdainful, the East China Sea is only brave when fighting with wild beasts, and she can crush these warriors with one finger when she really fights.

The atmosphere in the carriage improved a lot, and Li Niang occasionally commented on a few new things she had seen, her ears flickered, and she heard an interesting conversation about this man outside: "I heard that Hanhou is going to the East China Sea...... The long river and waterway are not passable, how can you go thousands of miles away?"

"Can you walk on two legs, a long march, haha...... No, let me laugh for a while and ...... first" There was a sound of laughter.

Li Niang frowned, feeling displeased, and feeling ...... It's really a bit like, now the doppelganger of himself and this true monarch's predecessor is not the Long March to the East China Sea?

No, it's still Beihai, and you have to change your route once.
