After passing through the train station, everyone finally saw the so-called train.
It was a 400-meter-long steel monster with sections that looked like a huge centipede. However, it didn't have as many legs as a centipede.
"What a big guy!" After Cao Gui finished speaking, he started laughing. He couldn't help but let out a "hehe" sound.
"What's so funny? Tell me! " Ma Hualong tried to make his eyes bigger, but they were only slightly bigger than peanuts.
Although Xue Yuanpei was expressionless, he pricked up his ears to listen to Cao Gui's opinion.
"I just feel that I've seen more new things in the past few years than before." Cao Gui counted. "Tractors, trucks, glass, a clock, the steam engine we saw last time, and this big fellow in front of us … I'm really looking forward to seeing how this big fellow will perform."
"Zhao Prince Consort …" Ma Hualong said a name.
Everything was brought about by this person.
It could be said that this person had changed the entire Dayao and the Yun Nation.
"Do you think there's a relationship between intelligence and hair? The dean doesn't have much hair either … "Cao Gui raised an interesting point. "Zhao Prince Consort doesn't have a single strand of hair, not even eyebrows."
"You can try. You'll be smart if you go bald!" Ma Hualong encouraged.
"I really want to try …" Cao Gui didn't seem to be lying, and he really had the urge to do so.
Their conversation made Xue Yuanpei's face turn black.
You won't be smart even if you go bald!
Also, if the dean hears you say that he has little hair, you will be punished with a ruler again.
The ruler was a type of board made of two pieces of wood stuck together. It was eight feet and two fen long, and when hit by the hand, it would produce a loud sound without much strength. It was a warning sound.
Of course, it would be quite painful if you hit it hard.
Cao Gui rolled his eyes and said to Ma Hualong, "Do you want to make a bet? I'm guessing that the dean has 864 strands of hair."
"You want me to count the dean's hair?" Ma Hualong squinted at him. "You're too vicious!"
"Haha, I'm just joking …" Cao Gui laughed and didn't take it seriously. It was just a joke. Then, his gaze fell on a lady in white who got off the train.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long white dress with pink flower petals as embellishments. Her long hair was simply tied behind her head. She was beautiful, and her skin was fair. She gave off the vibe of the most beautiful white flower on the highest peak of the Yun Nation. Her stubbornness and purity were mixed together, as well as her heroic spirit and intellectuality, forming a very unique charm.
The woman merely swept a cold glance at the crowd before she continued walking forward.
"What's wrong? The girl you couldn't forget yesterday? Ma Hualong noticed his gaze and teased, "Your eyes are about to pop out!"
"I feel like I've been shot in the chest!" Cao Gui clutched his chest with an infatuated look in his eyes, unwilling to leave the figure of the other party for even a moment.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. These clothes aren't something an ordinary aboriginal can wear. I'm sure there's someone in their family with a high status. Moreover, her strength is stronger than yours. Looking at her age, her talent must be amazing.
No matter what you think, you have no chance. "Ma Hualong comforted him sincerely.
"Zhao Prince Consort doesn't even have a Spirit Wheel, yet he married the noble empress." Cao Gui waited until the figure of the other party disappeared into one of the carriages before he turned his head and said seriously to Ma Hualong, "Let's make a bet. I'll bet my entire life on it!"
"You're crazy!" Ma Hualong's expression changed slightly when he heard what the other party said. He felt that the other party was simply crazy.
"We are good friends, right?" Cao Gui felt that his heart was burning so hot that it was about to burn him.
"What are you going to do?" Ma Hualong asked warily.
"In a while, find an opportunity to flirt with her … Then, I'll be the hero and save the damsel in distress. Although this move is cliché, it's tried and true!" Cao Gui looked straight into the other party's eyes and tried to convey his determination to him through his gaze.
"You are crazy, but I'm not!" Ma Hualong was shocked. He was going to flirt with her? Not to mention anything else, the other party's strength was enough to crush him to death with one hand.
"Don't worry, I'll appear at the right time." Cao Gui immediately vowed. He naturally knew that Ma Hualong wasn't a match for the other party, but he didn't necessarily have to be the hero and save the damsel in distress.
He just had to appear at the right time and leave a deep enough impression on the other party.
It wasn't impossible for the hero to save the hooligan.
…
"Tong Lan, what are those people doing?" You Wuyi, who was inspecting the condition of the train, wiped the black coal off his face and asked.
"I don't know," Tong Lan replied casually. "How's the condition of the equipment?"
"There was a problem with the pressure relief previously, and the third valve of the equipment was slightly damaged. If everything goes well, we should be able to return, "You Wuyi replied.
"If anything goes wrong, you'll be hung up for target practice. Although Yagui seems to be kinder these two years, you and I both know that's just a facade. If he makes a fool of himself in front of Her Majesty, you can imagine the consequences. He'll be sentenced to at least 10 minutes of target practice. "Tong Lan used a calm tone to describe the terrifying content, which made You Wuyi shudder.
"Don't say such scary things, okay?" You Wuyi had a bitter look on his face, but it was obvious that he was inspecting more carefully.
"Excuse me, let me take a look at the third valve." Tong Lan kicked him and went forward to check the condition of the pressure relief valve.
"There's no problem with the distribution valve." A young girl withdrew her head and said. Just like You Wuyi, her face was covered in dust.
After a while, Tong Lan inspected the condition of the locomotive and returned to the carriage where everyone was.
As soon as she entered the carriage, she heard laughter. "Did you see that? Those guys' eyeballs are glued to Tong Lan. Should I say that they are blind or that their courage is commendable?"
"Both!" Du Laoliu rubbed his chin and pondered. "Little girl, you've grown up!"
"It's a pity that she's too fierce. No one in Lan City dares to propose marriage. Shi Gan … "The previous voice continued.
Two veins popped out on Tong Lan's forehead. She flashed and stepped on Xu Peng's head.
"Gah …" Xu Peng was about to continue speaking, but he was stomped back into his stomach.
Following which, she kicked Du Laoliu's face.
Tong Lan then flashed back to her seat.
"Both of you … don't have a good memory after so many years!" Not far away, Shi Gan was trying his best to pull his neck up while the other was trying to stop his nosebleed.
"Are you done with the inspection?" Tong Lan turned her head and glanced at him with a cold gaze.
"There's no problem with the hooks between the bogie and the carriage." Shi Gan spread his hands and said, "As long as there's no problem with the power unit, it's fine."
"There's a small problem, but it's not a big problem. You Wuyi and Wu Ya were on duty for the first four hours, followed by Peng Xi and Peng Zhe … "Tong Lan took a form from the table and flipped through it as she spoke.
After a while, she put down the form and looked out of the window. "Who are those people?"
"Some scholars from the academies in the Yun Nation. It seems like they are going to board this Empress and return to Lan City with us." A young man supported his chin with one hand and flipped through a calculus book on the table with the other.
"Their appearance here must be an order from Her Majesty or Yagui. Given Her Majesty's character, she wouldn't do such a thing. It should be Yagui. "Shi Gan also glanced at the scholars outside, who were clicking their tongues in wonder at the train.
"It seems like Yagui is very interested in them!" Another scholar laughed.
"There are too few aboriginals," Tong Lan replied without even lifting her head. "Yagui said that he wants to implement universal education, but it won't be possible to achieve results in a short period of time. The number of teachers is also a problem. I reckon that Yagui has taken a liking to them. They should be competent enough to be teachers. "
"Actually, I really want to be a teacher. I have even prepared target shooting equipment. I even specially got someone to get me a box of repeating crossbows from the Yun Nation, but Yagui didn't give me this opportunity." Another student spread his hands.
"Another three and a half years!" A pretty lady with a graceful figure clenched her fist and said, "We will graduate in another three and a half years!"
"Sigh!" Everyone in the carriage sighed.
Three years and another three years …
"Have you guys finished your calculus homework? Let me copy it! "Du Laoliu, who had just stopped bleeding, suddenly had a change in expression.
Half of the people in the carriage had a similar change in expression. Not only did they have a huge change in expression, but they also had a deep hatred for Du Laoliu for bringing up the matter that no one wanted to think about.
"Shi Gan, just let me have a look at your homework. I definitely won't be like that fool who even copied his name!" Xu Peng said.
"It's in the residence." Shi Gan spread his hands. "You guys work harder!"
…
"Get on the train. Follow the order of the academies. Don't run around after getting on the train. There is a bathroom in every carriage, and meals will be provided in the middle, "someone in front of the group of scholars shouted.
"The preparations are very thorough. We can finally set off. I'm really curious about how this big guy will bring us to Lan City. "
"Zhe Wu Academy, Yandao Academy, Xiaojiang Academy, come over here!"
"Huaiya Academy, Shuangwen Academy, Jiangling Academy, go that way …"
Many scholars boarded the train in order with curiosity and anticipation.
The empress stood on the second floor of the train station and watched everything.
"Do you think these people are useful?" the empress asked.
"Let's give it a try. Maybe we can find some useful talents. After all, they have studied for more than ten years, and it would be a pity to just leave them there, "Ren Baqian answered while turning his head to look at Er Hua.
He saw Er Hua running around with Zi Donglai's saber in his hand. From time to time, he would pull out his saber and split a row of wooden blocks.
He even made sounds of "Ha, ha."
Needless to say, Er Hua was pretty good at drawing his saber and slashing.
Not far away, Zi Donglai stared at Er Hua expressionlessly.
Although it couldn't be seen on his face, Ren Baqian could feel his heart aching from his gaze.
"Inspector Hua, although you and the Protector General are from the same family, I still hope that you can fulfill your duties." Ren Baqian turned around and said to Hua Qinghua, who had a tattoo on her face and exuded a wild aura from head to toe.
She didn't seem to mind Zi Donglai standing beside her.
"Of course. I've been watching him 24/7! "Hua Qinghua patted her magnificent chest and guaranteed.
Zi Donglai's expressionless face finally couldn't help but twitch a little.
