Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 229 Poisoned?
Although Xu Da said this, Cheng Yaojin's expression immediately became a little strange, including Yuchi Gong's.

They knew Su Feng's personality too well, but as long as he asked for something and Su Feng had something, he would almost give it away without hesitation.

Yu Chigong was very confident about this, so he did not dwell on this issue. After thanking Xu Da, he directly started to drive the prisoners into the car.

Now that the train has arrived here, it is better to send these people to the north as soon as possible instead of rushing hard.

The first batch of prisoners were quickly put on the train. Of course, there were also more than half of the Tang Dynasty's army. Good things like the train were already here. You couldn't let your own army watch from the side, right?
It didn't take long for the train to start running, and it was nothing less than a magical experience for anyone taking a train for the first time.

Especially Yuchi Gong...

He had heard the rumors about the train in advance, and he also knew the speed of this thing. Compared with the carriage, he didn't know how many times faster it was.

But still the same sentence, imagination and rumors and actual seeing are completely different things, just like now, Yu Chigong is sitting on the train, staring at the passing scenery outside in a daze, without saying a word for a long time Come.

"This... this is simply unbelievable!"

"According to this speed, I'm afraid it will take less than a day to reach the destination!" Yu Chigong said in shock, looking at the scenery passing by outside.

I'm really glad I came back with Cheng Yaojin this time. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have to wait before I can appreciate the benefits of the train.

Seeing Yu Chigong's exaggerated performance, Cheng Yaojin who was sitting next to him couldn't help laughing. In his eyes, Yu Chigong was like a foreigner who had never seen these things from Datang.

Such a scene naturally aroused his vanity again, so Cheng Yaojin looked at Yu Chigong with a smile, "You don't understand this!"

"This train can only run on the rails anymore. The railway built by the Turkic prisoners in the wind and snow is just to serve this train!"

"As long as there are railways, the trains can run unimpeded, and the speed can be guaranteed even if they go over mountains and ridges!"

"If there was a train along our way, I'm afraid we would have returned here long ago!"

When he said these words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

This is a rare opportunity, to be able to put on a good show in front of Yu Chigong, and the other party has no reason or opportunity to refute.

This guy just had a lot of entanglement with himself because of the pistol problem, and now he has to entertain him, which can be regarded as a small "revenge".

really.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Yu Chigong's expression changed obviously, and he wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason.

He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything, and continued to praise the scenery outside the window, as if he completely ignored what Cheng Yaojin said.

However, after Xu Da heard this, he looked at Cheng Yaojin seriously and shook his head, "This train cannot go over mountains and ridges!"

"If you want to repair the railway to various places, you can only pass through various mountains. Once the train loses its balance, it is very dangerous!"

"Not only these, if the train wants to maintain this speed, it also needs to consume a lot of coal. These are rare resources. The prince said... use some but use less!"

Xu Da didn't understand the squabble between Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong at all, he just thought they were arguing something seriously.

and so.

In order to avoid Cheng Yaojin's cognitive errors, he corrected the other party seriously. Unexpectedly, his words immediately made Yuchi Gong burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"I'm talking about Old Cheng, it's fine to pretend in front of me, but now there are people who really know how to do it, what you said is meaningless at all!" Yuchi Gong said, looking at Cheng Yaojin with deep meaning.

at this time.

Cheng Yaojin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he never expected that Xu Da, who seemed honest, came here to tear down his old background!

Now I can't let go of my old face!
Xu Da obviously felt that Cheng Yaojin's complexion was not very good-looking, and he quickly reacted, feeling a little embarrassed.

In order to ease the current atmosphere, he turned his eyes and changed the topic directly, and told the two of Su Feng's ideas for railways and trains.

After learning about Su Feng's grand plans and ambitions, both Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were amazed. If the railways can really spread all over the Tang Dynasty, it will bring them unimaginable convenience from now on.

but.

At the same time, they also understood a truth!
The construction of such a section of railway in front of us has already consumed a large number of Turkic captives, and it was barely completed after paying a huge price in the wind and snow.

If we really want to build railways throughout the entire Tang Dynasty according to Su Feng's vision, it will cost even more, and it will definitely not be enough with the current manpower!

"I thought that with hundreds of thousands of Turks and Goguryeo captives, it would be more than enough to build a railway, but now it seems that it is far from enough!" Cheng Yaojin squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully.

Yuchi Gong was worthy of being someone who knew Cheng Yaojin very well. He quickly reacted and nodded in agreement.

"If this is the case, then the next step is to consider taking the initiative to clean up Goguryeo, Turks and other countries!"

"Bring back more captives, so that the construction of the railway will have more power!"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's discussion, Xu Da couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't expect that the fate of many people had already been decided in this casual chat.

Just when they were chatting happily, Yu Chigong suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and there was a feeling of nausea in his chest. He worked hard for a long time before he could barely stop himself.

He sat up quickly, trying to stay calm and keep himself from throwing up, but the feeling was too uncomfortable.

In just a few breaths, Yu Chigong's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"not good……"

"Someone must have sneaked up along the way and poisoned me inadvertently. If I find out who did it, I will definitely kill everyone related to him!" Yu Chigong growled through gritted teeth.

Cheng Yaojin and Xu Da are used to such situations.

after all.

They also experienced it firsthand...
