Chen Bating chose a small town for a while, and found an inn with a large courtyard to accommodate their huge motorcade.After setting everything up, Chen Taochuan brought Chen Bating and other disciples and fellows together to eat in the front hall of the inn. A man in a suit who was always sitting on the cart behind was also invited to eat at the same table with Chen Taochuan.

"Zantai eat more, so he can go on his way when he has strength. You have eaten too little recently." Chen Taochuan said with concern.

The middle-aged man named Zan Tai was none other than Xie Zantai, the No. 1 airship made by Hualan.He was born in an overseas Chinese family in Sydney, Australia, and his father was one of the leaders of the Hualan Independence Party in Australia.After the news of the successful trial production of Western airships spread to Hong Kong, Xie Zantai, who was living here, was very interested. He was good at mathematics and handicrafts, and immediately started research, and successfully tested Hualan's first airship in 1895.

Xie Zantai, who is full of patriotism, wanted to dedicate the airship he trial-produced to the court, but at that time, the Sino-Japanese War was defeated, and the court was in chaos. Who would pay attention to his invention that no one in the court could understand.After receiving a cold reception, Xie Zantai had no choice but to send the drawings and instructions of the airship to Moxie, his sponsor of the Saar Kingdom, and returned to Hong Kong to found the "South China Morning Post", hoping to alert the people of the country with publicity.

Because Chen Taochuan shares the same love for machinery, and he was born in Queen's College in Hong Kong, he is a mechanical talent with a professional background, so the two are very close.Chen Taochuan often asks Xie Zantai for advice when he doesn't understand anything. Although the two are 20 years apart, they have become friends because of this.

This time when he received Zhao Shouhong's invitation letter, Chen Taochuan couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately went to Xie Zantai to discuss whether it was feasible.As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Xie Zantai was much more informed. He had some understanding of Zhao Shouhong, especially for the editorials Zhao Shouhong published on the newspaper, which made him overwhelmed, so he yearned for Zhongchuan very much.

Hearing that Zhao Shouhong sent a letter, inviting Chen Taochuan and his family to move to Zhongchuan to set up a factory, and also offered a generous toll in Sichuan, Xie Zantai naturally strongly agreed.With Xie Zantai's persuasion, Chen Taochuan made up his mind to come to Sichuan.After Xie Zantai's incident, the airship dream in his heart came alive again, so he came uninvited and followed Chen Taochuan to Zhongchuan.

It's just that Xie Zantai suffers from seasickness. In order to transport the machines, they first took a sea boat from the east of Guangdong to Guanghai City, and then went up the river to Chongshan City. Then they abandoned the boat and landed to Jianchang Road by land.Due to such a long time on the boat, Xie Zantai vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables, and his body was very weak. Therefore, he has been recuperating in the back compartment, and did not get out of the car to have dinner with Chen Taochuan until he stayed in the hotel.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen. I'm already feeling better. I believe I'll be fine in a few days." Xie Zantai nodded, and picked up a steamed bun and started to eat slowly.

Seeing Xie Zantai eating, Chen Taochuan was in a much better mood. He also picked up the white flour steamed buns and turned his head to his disciples, saying, "If Master Zhao hadn't given you so much travel expenses, we would have been able to take a ride all the way and eat this kind of food." White flour steamed buns? As a human being, you must not forget your roots, you must remember the good of others, and don’t always think in the direction of the bad.”

"Understood, master." Chen Bating quickly swept the food in hand, while nodding submissively.

Hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice, the young man at the next table came over and said, "This old man, is the Mr. Zhao you are talking about Zhao Shouhong the current Zhongchuan advisor?"

"You've heard of it too?" Chen Taochuan said in surprise.

The young man nodded and said, "My older sister works in the Lord's house, so I'm here to join my older sister."

"We also defected in the past, and we never expected to meet people on the same road." Chen Bating said with a smile, they are all craftsmen, they rarely go out in their lives, and they don't know much about the taboos of going out.If you are an old Jianghu, you will be very vigilant when you encounter people who take the initiative to strike up a conversation, and try not to interact with each other, but they have no such thoughts at all.

The fact that Chen Taochuan's master and apprentice were not wary does not mean that the well-informed Xie Zantai was not. He frowned and looked at the young man, but did not speak.He wanted to see what the purpose of this person was, and to judge whether it was a bandit who stepped on the plate.

The young man quickly sat down at a table with them, and Chen Taochuan asked, "Little brother, do you know this Master Zhao?"

Chapter 139 Army Escort

The young man said: "I know a little bit. Didn't the storytellers tell about his deeds? I wrote to my sister to inquire about it, and it is said that this story is true. According to the people in Mr. Zhao's mansion, those captured Sal People, who have lived in their house for a long time, they have all met."

"It turned out to be true. This Mr. Zhao is probably a martial sage who descended to earth. With such powerful methods, he was able to arrest the Saar people. He is really a great hero." Chen Bating couldn't help but raised his thumb and praised.

"Do you know if Mr. Zhao cares about industry? Does anyone under his rule open a factory?" Chen Taochuan seems to be more concerned about industry.

The young man smiled and said: "Of course there is, you don't know yet, Mr. Zhao himself runs a big factory. It is said that Ningyuan Hall used to be a gravel beach, and no one went to the remote one. Now it is very lively, everywhere It’s a big factory, and it’s said that it can smelt tens of thousands of tons of bare steel a year.”

"It would be great if that's the case. It seems that Mr. Zhao sincerely invited us." Chen Taochuan said excitedly to Xie Zantai and Chen Bating.Xie Zantai's hand tightened, his heart was filled with excitement, it seemed that his idea really had the possibility of success.

"It should be." Chen Bating agreed, his heart was still full of suspicion, since Mr. Zhao had so many and big factories, how could he fall in love with his master's small factory? It's really puzzling.

While the few people were talking, a burly officer stepped into the inn. Although the military uniform he was wearing was similar to the new army uniform, it was not navy blue, but grass green.What the opponent was wearing was not the big-brimmed hat or straw hat of the new army, but a strange boat-shaped hat, which looked light but did not conform to the Hualan people's aesthetics.

The visitor wore an armed belt on his waist, an exquisite automatic pistol and a leather bullet box, an exquisite saber and a grenade bag on the other side, and shiny riding boots on his feet. He was not an ordinary person at first glance.Although no one has ever seen this outfit before, one can realize at a glance that the person wearing this outfit must be a soldier.

The soldier walked into the inn and looked around, then walked to the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, is there a convoy here today?"

"Team?" The boss raised his head. He could see that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke.He nodded and said, "There is a convoy that has just settled down, and the people sitting and eating over there are all members of the convoy." The boss pointed to the people who were eating in the front hall.

The officer nodded, and he walked up to the tables where people were eating, and said to everyone, "Which one is Mr. Chen Taochuan?"

The four of them were talking, and they raised their heads when they heard someone asking. They looked at the opposite officer in surprise, but they didn't know where the other party came from.Chen Taochuan stood up and cupped his hands to the officer, "I am Chen Taochuan, what's the matter with this military lord?"

The officer saluted Chen Taochuan and said, "Mr. Chen, hello, I'm Zhu Daizhen. I came to greet you on the order of Mr. Zhao Shouhong. The western Sichuan area is not considered peaceful. My lord is afraid that you may be in danger on the road. So I sent a team of soldiers here to protect you and go to Yazhou Prefecture. I inquired about dozens of inns along the way, and finally found you."

"What? The Master Tixue Envoy sent troops to protect us?" Chen Taochuan and the others were completely shocked. They never thought that it would be fine if an adult warmly invited him, but would actually send troops to protect him, a commoner. A feeling of trepidation.

"My lord, thank you so much, please sit down and eat something." Chen Taochuan warmly invited.

"Don't worry, I've already eaten. Seeing the situation, Mr. Chen is going to live here today." Zhu Daizhen asked.

"That's right, it's getting dark now, we plan to rest for one night and then go on the road tomorrow." Chen Taochuan nodded.

"Okay then." Zhu Daizhen nodded, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, "Xiao Liu, you go and convey my order, the whole army camps nearby, and send two squads to guard the inn, taking turns at night Stand guard and make sure everyone is safe."

The messenger immediately went out to deliver the order, Zhu Daizhen turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, it's very safe here now, everyone can sleep in peace at night."

"My lord, I have something to ask." Chen Taochuan said.

Zhu Daizhen laughed and said, "It's fine to just call my subordinate by his name. There are not so many rules under Mr. Zhao's command. We talk very casually among ourselves, even when talking to Mr. Zhao, we are quite casual."

"There is such a thing? It's really an anecdote." Chen Taochuan said, "Is Mr. Zhao very enthusiastic about starting a business?"

"Of course, there are already two industrial zones in Batang County and Ganzi County, and there are more than a dozen factories there. The large industrial zone that your lord is building in Ningyuan Hall is bigger than those two. As for the specific affairs, I will I dare not say it. The adults say it’s a secret. Anyway, it’s very big. You will understand when you get there. There is no such a big factory in Hualan. Besides, there are several neighboring counties now. It’s brightly lit, and adults say it’s called an electric light.” Zhu Daizhen couldn’t help but marvel: “I heard that some people came back from the White Eagle Kingdom recently, and they built a machine that can fly.”

Zhu Daizhen's words were like fantasy to these few people, and they all opened their mouths in surprise.Xie Zantai was even more shocked. His first reaction was that the other party had talents in making airships, so maybe his idea had come true.Thinking of this, he became even more excited, maybe he could do what he wanted to do in the future.

"This is really unbelievable." The young man gaped.

"By the way, didn't you say that your sister is a servant in Mr. Zhao's house? You should know more about it." Chen Taochuan turned his head and smiled, "Tell us, what else do you know?"

"What? He's not with you?" Zhu Daizhen frowned, and immediately brushed the pistol at his waist with his hand.

Xie Zantai secretly praised the officer's high vigilance, but the young man obviously didn't know how dangerous he was now. He just smiled and shook his head and said, "We just met by chance, and we only talked together because we were going to the same place."

"I don't know what this little brother's name is, and where is he going?" Zhu Daizhen questioned while secretly guarding.

The young man said: "My name is Zhou Ren. My elder sister works as a servant in Mr. Zhao's residence. I also have a little niece named Xiaolan. She is also there."

"Are you Mrs. Zhou's younger brother?" Zhu Daizhen, as an officer from the military training school, has a very close relationship with Zhao Shouhong. They often go to the mansion, so they naturally know Mrs. Zhou and Liu Xiaolan who take care of Zhao Shouhong's daily life.

"It should be. My name is Zhou Ren, and my sister's surname is naturally Zhou." Zhou Ren said with a smile.

"In this case, let's go on the road together, it's safer that way." Zhu Daizhen's words were half-true, and it was indeed safe to go on the road with him.In addition, he was afraid that Zhou Ren was a spy of some power, and he had already found out some information, so he naturally hoped to watch him and bring him to Zhao Shouhong's residence to confront Mrs. Zhou.

"That's great. I'm afraid there will be bandits on the road. It would be very convenient if there is an army to go with me." Zhou Ren went in without knowing it, and agreed very happily.Seeing Zhou Ren's excited expression, Zhu Daizhen's suspicion was slightly reduced.

"I don't know if the flying machine you mentioned is an airship?" Xie Zhantai couldn't help asking, this was what he was most concerned about.

"Airship? I've never heard of it, but it's a secret. People like me can't know it. As for what kind of machine it is, you have to ask Mr. Zhao." Zhu Daizhen said with a smile.Hearing that the other party didn't know about it, Xie Zantai gave up.

Because of the protection of the army that night, Chen Taochuan and others slept very peacefully, and they were even more refreshed the next morning. Even Xie Zantai's seasickness seemed to have healed.With the help of the soldiers, old man Chen Taochuan's convoy speeded up a lot, and they arrived in Shudu in only half a day.Seeing the large industrial area outside the city of Shu, the old man Chen Taochuan was surprised: "How can there be so many factories in Chengdu? Could it be that this is also the industry of adults?"

Zhu Daizhen said with a smile: "These are the properties of old Mr. Sun Zhenze, all of which produce soap, towels, matches and other things, but half of the shares are also owned by Mr. Zhao. In addition, this old Mr. Sun has only one daughter in his family. She's about to become your lord's wife."

Chen Taochuan nodded again and again, he had already admired Zhao Shouhong from the bottom of his heart, unexpectedly he was already deeply shocked before he arrived at the place.Although there are only a dozen or so factories here, they are all large in scale. Even in a place as prosperous as Guangdong City, he has never seen such a large-scale factory. It seems that Zhao Shouhong's support for the industry is indeed not small.

"You are the army under Mr. Zhao?" A servant hurriedly ran along the official road and said with a salute when he saw Zhu Daizhen.

"Of course, who are you? How did you know us?" Zhu Daizhen asked curiously.
