Chapter 456 Beidu
The people cheered each other up loudly, but the train did not slow down at all, and continued to run on its own.
The shining talisman lights on the front of the car, under the glow of the sunset, showed an orange-yellow mixed with purple and red, like the pupils of a monster.
The crowd finally panicked, someone jumped off the tracks and tried to climb onto the platform,
However, the height of the platform is too high. Unless you are physically fit, it is difficult to climb up by yourself.
Shouts, cries, and calls for help all gathered on the railroad tracks.
Seeing that the vehicle was about to pass the platform at full speed, causing countless casualties,
Two monks in white suddenly floated out from the front of the car.
They step on top of the vehicle, hands clasped and spread apart.
Invisible strong thoughts instantly acted on the people of Shuozhou ahead.
Everyone flew up, or landed on the edge of the platform, or were pressed against the stone walls on both sides of the railway track, unable to move.
Bang lang, lang lang.
The Reiki locomotive galloped past, as if driving through a divided ocean. No civilians were run over, and no casualties were caused.
Twenty carriages, like a long dragon spreading clouds and rain, spewed billowing steam, and passed through Shuozhou Station in a hurry.
Many passengers in the carriage squeezed their faces in front of the window, overlooking the scene under the car.
Eyes or sympathy, or doubt, or disgust.
"This is the plagued Shuozhou, right?"
In the first-class compartment, a young man wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing Taiyuan Wang's Jade Pendant (with the word "Wang Jie" engraved on the back) on his waist, withdrew his indifferent gaze from the outside of the car, shook his head and said: "It's really bad luck. These ordinary people , They even came up with a way to block the railway tracks and force the vehicles to stop. I don’t know who gave them the courage.”
Another beautiful woman wearing Qinghe Cui's jade pendant (with the word Cui Yan engraved on the back) nodded and said, "Fortunately, we went to Yunzhou this time to represent the Wang family and the Cui family when they jointly operated the fur business. made an offering,
You can use telekinetics to drive them away, or you will really be coerced by these people. "
While talking, the two monks in white who had driven away the people of Shuozhou walked back to the carriage and nodded towards the two noblemen. Then he returned to his seat and sat down, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Like nothing happened.
The worship of the thousand-year-old family is mostly like this, taciturn, not saying what should not be said, not seeing what should not be seen.
"Yeah, fortunately."
Wang Jie nodded and said: "The prefect of Shuozhou didn't know what to eat, and he didn't control the epidemic well. Even Yunzhou had similar cases recently, and was forced to block it together.
Fortunately, the signs of our two families were loud enough, and we took advantage of the last chance before the city was locked to get a pass. "
"Yeah, hehe."
Cui Yan just smiled, but there was some disdain in her heart.
The fool in front of him really thought that with Taiyuan Wang's signboard, he could have no taboos in Hedong. If it weren't for the elders of their own family, who have been friends with the prefect of Yunzhou for many years, how could they catch up with the full train leaving the northern border of Hedong Road.
"Speaking of which, the war with Zhou seems to be inevitable."
Wang Jie seemed unaware of the contempt hidden in the woman's eyes, and said to himself: "But this is also beneficial to our family.
War always costs money. And the court spends money, which means that the firm makes money.
Armor, bows, arrows, food, tea and wine, clothing, bedding
If the war lasts for ten days, we can earn one hundred thousand guan,
If the war lasts for 100 days, we can earn 1 million coins.
If the war continues, we will continue to earn gold and silver.
If you want me to say, the practice of buying land and raising scholars like that of a thousand-year-old family in the past is too old-fashioned.
Even if you hold back to the point where there are countless famous scholars and scholars, and the people in the state capital only know the aristocratic family but not the state of Yu,
As long as His Majesty wants to, he can still easily suppress the family. Just like "Clan Records" and "Surname Records".
In Yu State now, there are aura locomotives, talisman plates, and workshops for using aura machines. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day.
What age is it, are you still playing in a traditional family?
We should have changed our thinking a long time ago, discarded the covert curtain, and started doing business to make money.
As long as there is enough money and the relationship between money distribution is wide enough, the aristocratic family, the prime minister, ministers, and clans, there is me in you, and you in me. It is difficult to distinguish each other. Why worry about the suppression of the court and the academy? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to get rich together? "
Wang Jie became more and more excited as he talked. Cui Yan kept smiling, nodding in approval from time to time, but the disdain in her eyes became more and more intense.
Suddenly, Wang Jie coughed violently, subconsciously covered his chest, and arched his body.
Cui Yan's complexion changed abruptly, she stood up abruptly, and took a few steps back in disregard of the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
The two priests in the corner of the carriage frowned, approached, and carefully inspected the spittle Wang Jie sprayed on the middle table.
Among them, Cui's priest shook his head and said in a low voice: "It should not be an epidemic. Those patients in Yunzhou coughed up foamy **** sputum or bright red sputum."
"That's good."
Cui Yan's brows stretched, and she regained her demeanor of a woman from a family, and said softly, "Wang Liulang, are you okay?"
"It's okay, cough cough."
Maybe because he felt that it would be unseemly to cough in front of the woman he liked, Wang Jie took out a handkerchief, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Maybe it was because I drank too much with my friends in Yunzhou a few days ago and hurt my throat.
Hehe, I am the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and I have eaten too many kinds of elixir and fairy grass since I was a snack. Almost never sick.
What's more, the so-called good family must have Yuqing, the princes and generals are the seeds,
The plague will only attack those poor people who are usually unkempt and do not pay attention to hygiene.
How could it infect me. "
"That's it."
Cui Yan's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "I suddenly remembered that Cui's business in Yunzhou still has some books that I haven't checked."
Wang Jie immediately stood up, "I'll accompany you."
"No need, it's all boring book work, so I won't bother Liu Lang."
Cui Yan smiled charmingly, said goodbye and left the first-class carriage.
Wang Jie looked at the back of the other party leaving, smacked his lips, recalled the scent left in the carriage, and recalled his high-spirited talk just now, smiled confidently, feeling that he, the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, had already Succeeded to make Cui Yan fascinated.
"hehe."
Wang Jie rubbed his chin and smiled, then suddenly coughed again, "Ahem—"
On the same Lingqi locomotive, coughing sounds like Wang Jie kept coming and going, and almost every compartment had people covering their mouths and coughing.
The vehicle was driving on the wasteland railroad track, taking advantage of the night, to rush to the heart of Hedong Road—Taiyuan, the northern capital.
