The roadblock placed in front is Juma, which is the most common roadblock in ancient times. It is made of wood tied crosswise and one end is sharpened to prevent the enemy's horses from rushing in.
The horses are placed carefully and staggered, requiring rapid turns and tail crossings in very short distances.
This kind of testing is somewhat dangerous.
If you turn slowly, you will be injured by the sharpened wood on the top of the horse. If the carriage is not flexible enough, it may tilt and roll over...
Those carriages from the seven countries in the past, even the Beiyuan Kingdom and Nanchen Kingdom, which were the best at making carriages, could not do this at all, and the craftsmen knew it well.
But what about this dragon-coiled carriage that Ah Qing is so confident about?
She came here specifically to try out such an adventurous road section just to prove that it was different.
"Will it succeed?"
"I don't know, I guess it's hanging."
"If it succeeds, it will be an amazing creation..."
"My, my palms are sweating. This wooden tool is obviously not made by me, but right now I really want to ask the gods and Buddhas for blessings, so that it can pass smoothly."
"Me too, I can't even imagine that such a carriage is made by our Ye country craftsmen. If this is really possible..."
That would be incredible. Not only would it cause a sensation across the country, it would also completely subvert the Seven Kingdoms’ craftsmen’s perception of Ye Country’s car manufacturing.
The craftsmen who built the car stared at the scene with bright eyes. Even though they were sore with tears, they still did not dare to blink for fear of missing it.
They prayed silently and anxiously, never, never fail.
The other craftsmen in the camp were so nervous that their hands and feet were numb and they couldn't take their eyes away.
On the school grounds, horses were neighing in the wind, the gravel was rustling in the air, and the dragon carriage arrived at the Juma roadblock at an unabated speed——
The driver was an experienced driver. He had been driving a carriage for more than ten years. Normally, he had never encountered any kind of situation. But at this moment, he felt like he was driving a carriage for the first time. His heart was beating fast and his palms were sweating. Keep your eyes on the road.
All he could think of was what Ah Qing had told him before. Don't hesitate, don't be afraid, believe in your own skills, and believe that Panlong can do it.
Ten meters, seven meters... we can't go straight anymore, we have to change direction...
The driver took a deep breath and turned the horse's head with his arms. The carriage turned to the right, with the front wheels having a small radius and the rear wheels having a large radius. They then swung and easily avoided the obstruction of the horse in front...
But he will soon face the second horse resistance, and its direction is directly ahead.
But after the first success, the sweaty Yufu finally gained confidence. His movements became more skillful and steady, and he began to walk between the roadblocks in a snake-like shape, flexible and agile, like a spinning top spinning at a constant speed. , looking staggering around, but the center of gravity is always on the ground.
Then there was the last big turn. The carriage passed through the wet grass and stopped steadily.
And during this whole process, not to mention blinking, all of them seemed to have forgotten to even breathe.
It wasn't until the thrilling scene finally came to an end that each of them breathed out a big breath after their chests hurt.
"Really, did it happen?!"
"Oh my god, the car really didn't roll over. The car was thrown and slid when it made a sharp turn just now. Not only did the front and rear wheels get stuck in the ruts, they actually cooperated properly and successfully made it through..."
"I can't believe it. If I told the outside world, who would believe it? This carriage can be like a single horse. Not only is it not cumbersome and cumbersome, it is also as flexible as a fat man, and it can do such difficult things. Move left and right, it, it has so many people sitting on it..."
In the group of craftsmen, a heated discussion instantly broke out. They couldn't understand the structure of this Panlong at all, but they dared to guarantee that this car must be very different from the current carriages.
The heightening and lengthening of its carriage will inevitably result in a lack of balance in the body, but otherwise, when it runs, it obviously has more advantages in stability and speed than Feiyan, the chariot of Ye State.
"Aqing——"
As soon as Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong waited for the carriage to stop, they rushed towards Zheng Quchi excitedly.
They danced like two children who couldn't control their joy: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, Ah Qing, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
Ah Qing, you guys are so awesome!
The thirty or so craftsmen who built the car had now recovered from the previous test. They no longer restrained their inner joy and cheered and shouted happily.
Zheng Quchi was still immersed in the shortcomings of the Panlong Carriage and the shortcomings she had just observed, but she came back to her senses after the deafening shouts of Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong.
"Yeah, let's consider it a success." Affected by their high emotions, she also raised a slightly silly smile.
"Ah Qing, don't be too modest. If you are too modest, others will want to beat you." They grinned and lightly punched her shoulders.
Yu Wensheng and the others who landed from the carriage were even more surprised this time than the previous time. They didn't even know what to say this time.
Ever since Fu Changfeng got off the carriage, he had been in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
The ups and downs in Wei Yao's eyes were difficult to calm down. He restrained his usual playful attitude and said in a deep voice: "Ah Qing, I underestimated this dragon carriage just now. What you said before, I now Only then can I truly understand.”
She said: This carriage is not only designed to be able to walk on the flat stone roads of the city streets, it can also cope with difficult and uneven roads.
At that time, they thought it was superficial and thought that this dragon carriage might be better than other carriages.
However, after the test just now, they finally realized that the Panlong carriage was completely different from all other carriages, except that they were both called carriages.
If you look at the dragon carriage running outside and dealing with various obstacles, the ability it displays is stability and agility.
Then those who sit inside can truly feel its specialness.
It can make the people in the car feel the greatest sense of stability when dealing with any road section.
In the past, riding a horse-drawn carriage, even on a relatively flat road, once it went fast, it would shake so violently that it would be like being thrown into a blender.
But even on the bumpy road and the dangerous conditions just now, they did not encounter particularly shocking bumps and vibrations in the car. It was like a fortress to a great extent, protecting them inside.
This is amazing.
Because of this, no one from the seven countries can do it.
Yuwen Sheng's voice was like a gentle spring breeze, and Zheng Se said: "Maybe you may feel dissatisfied with what I said, but this time, I can't give you any better words. Only the word "very good" is all I have. Feelings.”
Zheng Quchi looked at him, not dissatisfied, and even a little happy.
A person like Yu Wensheng who is used to seeing good things approves of the Panlong carriage she made. Does this mean that her carriage is really good?
If we say that on a smooth road, the carriage she built is not very big compared to the carriages made by the top craftsmen in Ye country, but once they deal with rough waves, the gap between them will become clear. .
It is stunning on the outside and even more shocking on the inside.
Wang Zebang was really not at peace inside.
He persuaded himself to accept that the lady might be a very attractive person, but for a while, before he could fully digest it, he had to face the fact that the general's wife was still a person who could shock the craftsmen of the seven countries. Powerful person.
Is he really blind, or is he really blind?
For the first time he doubted himself.
He walked forward thoughtfully and said loudly: "The second wheel has been displayed, so let the craftsmen vote for the carriage coiled dragon."
At this time, everyone silently looked at the tickets in their hands and walked up...
It's time to vote. I wonder how many votes they will get?
Mu Gaoyi and the others are still a little nervous. In fact, they have already evaluated the highest number of votes in their hearts.
But whether they can defeat Fu Changfeng depends on the number of votes these master craftsmen have. If they are selfish and ignore the facts...
The soldier responsible for collecting the votes came to the craftsman group and handed the tray over. After collecting the votes in turn, he counted the votes and redistributed them back to them. Then he went back and reported the number of votes to Adjutant Wang.
After Wang Zebang got the answer, he clasped his fists with the general, then turned around and announced to everyone: "The total number of votes is one hundred and seven, wooden dragon carriage, thirty-four contestants, excluding the thirty-four votes of the contestants, the remaining Seventy-three votes, and your number of votes is..."
He looked at Zheng Quchi and said with sincerity: "Seventy-three votes!"
Seventy-three votes?
Zheng Quchi was stunned.
She turned her eyes and looked at Mu Gaoyi and the others who were also confused.
This means that except for themselves, all the remaining craftsmen have actually voted for them?
Of course, that also includes Fu Changfeng, who has a grudge against Mu Gaoyi and the others?
It's really going to rain red.
"Changfeng, you, you voted for them too?" Fu Changfeng's companion asked in surprise.
Fu Changfeng's face turned dark: "Who voted for them? I, I voted for Ah Qing!"
This was his last bit of stubbornness.
At this time, a car builder heard this and replied happily: "No matter what you say, if you vote for Ah Qing, you vote for us. You can't see it. Master Fu has such a broad mind. We have misunderstood you in the past." .”
"Shut up, you guys, you're getting an advantage and you're still acting like a good boy." Fu Changxiao snorted.
There were still a small number of craftsmen who did not show off their wooden crafts, but after seeing Ah Qing's dragon-coiled carriage with Zhu Yu in front, they all lost confidence, so they unanimously chose to abstain.
After Zheng Quchi got the perfect number of votes, he ran straight to Yu Wensheng.
The shrewd and wise spirit of commanding the overall situation suddenly disappeared. She opened a pair of big bright eyes and asked expectantly: "General, can our Panlong Chariot represent Fu County to participate in the Ji Dynasty?" Is there a spring craftsmen's union?"
"According to the voting rules, since you won first place, you can naturally join the Jichun Craftsmen's Union with the army."
"Wow, that's great! We can also join the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild this year. If we can be selected for the preliminary round, it will be a great pride for our Ye country!"
All the craftsmen cheered happily.
Yu Wensheng added: "However, your team has too many people, so we can only participate in three competitions."
Before they could discuss it, the craftsmen below all suggested: "Just take Ah Qing with you."
"Yes, Ah Qing can represent us. We all recommend Ah Qing."
"If there are three, then Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong, they should go together."
Zheng Quchi turned his head and saw that the car-building team all smiled and recommended the three of them without any competition.
Mu Gaoyi felt a little uncomfortable, but also very grateful. He said: "We made the Panlong carriage together, so even if there are three people, it doesn't mean there are only three people. When we get to the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild, we will follow Ah Qing will show the Panlong Chariot to the craftsmen of the Seven Kingdoms. From now on, our Ye Kingdom will also have one made by the Ye Kingdom."
The others laughed after hearing the roar: "You know how to play, but we believe in Ah Qing."
"Yes! Ah Qing, you must give credit to our craftsmen of Ye State!"
Zheng Quchi looked solemn and serious, and responded solemnly: "Okay! I promise you."
——
Zheng Quchi was also excited for the day because all his hard work had been rewarded.
Because she was setting off tomorrow, she celebrated and chatted with the craftsmen in the evening, and after expressing a lot of future prospects and good money prospects, she was drunk and taken back to the main army's tent by Runtu.
In the tent, Yu Wensheng has been waiting for her.
I just didn't expect that a little drunkard would be waiting for me.
Runtu sent the person there, lowered his eyes and said silently, performed the ceremony, and then quietly left.
Yu Wensheng took off his mask, his eyes full of spring breeze: "Qu Chi, are you really the one who designed this dragon carriage?"
Zheng Quchi felt that he was a little drunk, but not to the point of being delirious.
At least, she walked back by herself, although without Runtu to lead the way, she might have been lost until dawn.
"yes."
"Then where did you learn it?" Yu Wensheng approached her.
Zheng Quchi let out a small belch: "I have a good mind and have liked to observe these things since I was a child. If other countries can build good cars, so can we. Or do you think I can't do it?"
Observing that her eyes were surprisingly bright, but also hazy with a layer of clear water. Although she seemed to be answering his questions clearly, her eyes seemed to be unable to focus, and they were scattered left and right.
"Drinking?"
"Well, I drank a little."
Yu Wensheng laughed because he was so cute by her obedient answer.
"You are a light drinker, and you can easily get drunk if you drink their kind of wine."
"Y-really? Haha..." She started to giggle.
"Very happy?"
"Yes." The wind blew in her head and she started to feel a little dizzy, so she lowered her head and leaned on his chest.
"I'm very happy that the car has finally been made. Thank you to them, thank you to the general, thank you... If I really get rich in the future, I will never forget you."
Listening to this, the ambition is not small.
