Attunement into fine rules

On the second day on the road, Prince Gong refused to sit in his own carriage made of pear-patterned red sandalwood and four horses riding on snow. Instead, he ran to ride Wei Yuan's ox cart.

"No way, you are comfortable here."

Prince Gong was lying on the half couch in the large bullock cart, the ivory mat under his body was soaking in the cold, and next to him was a plate of watermelon pieces with a small silver fork to remove the seeds, and he used the silver fork to put them into his mouth from time to time. in a piece.

The windows of the bullock carts are inlaid with large pieces of glass, even though they are closed, light can still penetrate, and it does not feel dark and stuffy.

There is an ice basin in the corner, which is a rare coolness in the scorching heat.

It has been the fifth day since they came out of Jicheng. Of course, it is impossible to use the ice stored in the ice cellar of the governor's mansion, and that will not last until now.

In this era, the ice-making technology is relatively mature. When Wei Yuan came out, he brought saltpeter with him, and he only needed water to make ice.

"That carriage is a bare surface, it's so expensive that you'll die sitting in it and it's tossed around. It's not as good as your bullock cart, which is fast and stable." Prince Gong sighed after swallowing the sweet watermelon in his mouth.

Wei Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "Although my carriage is made of ordinary materials, it may not be easier to obtain than His Highness's carriage."

This is not the reason for the horse-drawn carriage. Prince Gong's carriage is naturally top-of-the-line in this era, but how can it compare to his hollow wheels made of rubber and the more perfect shock-absorbing design of the body?

Some manufacturing ideas that were not able to be completed in the countryside before, but in the past two or three months in the Governor's Mansion, the manpower, financial and material resources have been able to keep up, and they have been completed in sevens and eights.

Of course, Wei Yuan just came up with an idea to point out the way, and the details were implemented by Wei Lang, Weihu and the invited craftsmen.

After eating watermelon, Prince Gong turned the glossy Ganoderma lucidum relief on the head of the couch left and right, and saw a hidden compartment popped up next to him, with a Go board inside.

"Come, come, next game." King Gong opened the chessboard and placed it between him and Wei Yuan.

Although the bullock cart is stable, compared with other means of transportation in this era, it still shakes to some extent while driving.

If you want to play chess on it, the board and pieces are specially made.

A thin iron sheet is sandwiched between the wooden chessboard, and magnets are attached to the bottom of each black and white chess piece.

"Are you still going to play?" Wei Yuan felt a little reluctant when he saw him laying out the chessboard.

Wei Yuan quite likes playing chess, but it is only interesting to play chess when the opponent coincides with him. However, Wang Gong's chess strength has been defeated by him in the past few days. Interesting.

"Oh, anyway, there's nothing to do on the road." Prince Gong said with a smile, "Let's take it as an excuse."

Wei Yuan thought about it, so he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands to let Prince Gong hold the black first.

Yang Xiao walked over to collect the leftover fruit plate, feeling that it was too much to see.

Who is this man whose bones are light and fluffy, who treats the Second Young Master Wei softly, and laughs so hard that his face is full of flowers?

Hurry up and return that noble and resolute Highness of his family!

In this way, they played chess all the way, and arrived at Jiangling Ferry at about noon, where they needed to change to the waterway.

Since Wei Yuan brought a lot of things, it would take a lot of time to dispatch the ship and unload the things on the ship, so the group got off the car and stayed at the Ferry Inn, planning to continue their journey tomorrow.

Knowing that Prince Gong is going to stay here, the inn was cleared in advance, and no random guests are accepted today.

Wei Yuan drank some soup and rice, and began to take a nap habitually.

Although the interior of the bullock cart is comfortably furnished, it is not as good as the flat ground for people to sleep peacefully.After five days of traveling, Wei Yuan fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed in the inn.

After sleeping for about half a moment, suddenly the sound of swords and soldiers colliding faintly came from my ears.

Wei Yuan opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Wei Lang who was guarding beside him, and asked, "What happened outside?"

Wei Lang was holding a black-bone lacquered folding fan in his hand, and fanning him up and down. Hearing this, he stopped and replied: "My lord, continue to sleep, I'll go and have a look."

Wei Yuan nodded, turned over on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep again.

Wei Lang came to the outside of the room, but saw Wei Hu and Lichen were already there, and Prince Gong was surrounded by seven or eight attendants, with swords in his hands, looking as if he was facing an enemy.

Seeing Wei Lang, Prince Gong immediately said in a solemn voice: "The situation is not good right now, if there is a gap later, protect your master and go first!"

Wei Hu pulled aside the bamboo curtain and glanced down from the window on the second floor. He saw five or six people in white clothes and silver masks rushing from side to side surrounded by Prince Gong's guards.

So he curled his lips and said: "It's the assassins that His Highness provoked, and there are only a few of them. Let's talk about the guards here, at least one or two hundred. Why is the situation not good? Even if you are afraid of death, you don't have to be afraid." into this."

"Why are you afraid of death?! You country boy, you are a congenital master. Do you understand the congenital masters who use martial arts to enter Taoism?!" Yang Xiao stomped beside him, "One can equal the strength of a hundred people!"

"The situation is so critical now, His Highness is still thinking about letting you go first, you really don't know what is good or bad!"

"What, I think your people are useless." Wei Hu found that the five or six white-clothed men really killed people like chopping melons and vegetables, and he took more than a dozen lives right now.

If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can really rush into the inn.

So he turned his head and said, "Lichen, let's go down and play too."

After speaking, he lifted the bamboo curtain, propped himself on the window sill with one hand, and jumped down from the second floor with his bare hands, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Wei Lang should have some kung fu, everyone can see it, but this Wei Hu...isn't he a cook?

Is it still a hidden master? !

What's even more exaggerated is that the stunning maidservant who served next to Young Master Wei and who was good at mixing fragrances actually lifted her skirt and jumped down to the second floor with Wei Hu!

A burly man in white with a pair of iron gloves just broke the neck of a guard and was about to fight when he suddenly felt a strong force coming towards him. He was knocked back by the impact It took a few steps to stabilize his figure.

Taking a closer look, there was actually a tall and beautiful girl dressed as a servant girl in front of her, who was punching herself with two unprotected pink fists.

Its power is so fierce and its speed is so fast, it has never been seen in my life!

The burly man in white stretched out his arms to block it, and managed to block the punch, but felt that his bones were bursting with pain.

You know, his muscles and bones have been tortured by more than a dozen cold and heat, and soaked in medicine for many years, their toughness is comparable to copper and iron.

And the girl in front of her was only so old, and she was born like a flower, so he was no match for him in one blow!

I also saw a young man with a dimple in the field, similar in style to this girl, but even more fierce and vigorous in his actions.

Even though they are all born with supernatural powers, Wei Hu has the foundation of a beast. Coupled with gender differences, it is extremely natural that he is stronger than Lichen.

After all, he is a martial artist who has been tempered for thousands of years, and he also knows that this action is of great importance. Seeing that he has stepped on a hard point, the strong man in white immediately raised his voice: "Fei Kite, let's pester these two first, you quickly go and take the head of King Gong!"

A short and thin man in white with a scimitar in his hand responded and squatted down slightly. Like a big white bird, he suddenly rushed towards the window on the second floor of the inn!

At the same time, a whistle sounded.

A colorful shadow flew by quickly, and the white-clothed man broke his skeleton like a kite in mid-air, fell on his back to the ground with a plop, twitched a few times and couldn't move anymore.

Not only the white-clothed man named "Flying Kite", five or six white-clothed men in the arena who were originally invincible all fell to the ground one after another, twitching and motionless.

Everyone looked up and saw Wei Lang standing upright on the eaves of the second floor, his clothes flapping in the wind, with a bamboo whistle in his mouth, surrounded by dozens of koi.

Everyone rubbed their eyes before confirming that they read it correctly, yes...it can fly, koi.

They are colorful, with a translucent vertical horn in the middle of the head, and the fins on the abdomen are thin and transparent like gauze, flapping in mid-air like wings, making them suspended in the air.

Like a beautiful creature in a dream.

The few koi that had just attacked the man in white with their poisonous vertical horns flew back to Wei Lang's side, and rubbed the handsome and unsmiling owner's back of his hand affectionately with their cool gauze fins.

"Oh, Wei Lang, what are you doing? I haven't had enough fun yet." Wei Hu looked at Wei Lang with his head on his hips.

Wei Lang ignored him, and blew his whistle again, and saw the dozens of koi lined up, floating back into the water tank from the air.

Immediately after he took off the bamboo whistle in his mouth, he said to Wei Hu: "Why are you still so ignorant, the young master is taking a nap, quick battles are the best, what are you playing? You have to go crazy with lichen."

Shaking his head after speaking, he jumped into the window on the second floor from the eaves, and said to the people who couldn't keep their mouths shut: "Those assassins were all poisoned by carp poison, which can paralyze the body. you guys."

Then he turned around in full view and walked towards the wing where Wei Yuan was.

A dangerous assassination disappeared like this.

Wei Hu had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and go back to their respective rooms with Lichen.

"Is that a spirit beast?"

After Prince Gong was in a mess for a while, tied up the assassins who were poisoned, and collected the corpses of the sacrificed guards, someone swallowed his saliva, and carefully whispered to his companions: "I only heard of immortals before." It is the first time I have seen it, and it is used for walking or driving to fight...I wondered what they were doing with the fish in the two tanks, it was really amazing!"

"Since Wei Lang has such ability, he can bring down six innate warriors in an instant. Wherever he goes, he might not have to worship a general? Why would he be a follower by the side of Young Master Wei?"

"Don't just look at Wei Lang's ability, Wei Hu and Lichen's ability are not bad, they are better than innate warriors! They usually don't show their talents, and they think they are ordinary cooks and maidservants." Companion Thoughtful, he guessed, "I don't think it's easy to subdue these people for my own use. It should be Young Master Wei Er."

The man nodded, showing a look of sudden realization: "Young Master Wei is a genius doctor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can recover from the dead. Wei Lang and others have been treated, and it is possible to follow him because of his kindness... It is still possible for the prince to have the foresight , I said why I ran to Mr. Wei Er every day, and didn't get angry at that kid Wei Hu's frequent rude offenses, presumably this is to show respect to corporals and recruit talents."

People outside were discussing and guessing in various ways, but in the bedroom where Wei Yuan was staying, he was sleeping soundly.

Wei Lang sat beside Wei Yuan's bed, still holding the black-bone lacquered folding fan in his hand, and fanned it unhurriedly.

He looked at Wei Yuan's side face with gentle eyes.

As if being able to let Wei Yuan sleep peacefully is his top priority in life.
