Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 189 Luoyang Section Train Trial

"Lingnan can develop shipping, sugar, and tea industries, including but not limited to breeding and textile industries."

Li Chengqian listened carefully to Yuchi Baoqi's analysis and felt that his understanding of Lingnan was still not deep enough, and he still had to continue to study.

Li Lizhi looked at Li Chengqian's legs: "Husband, didn't you tell me to come and see my eldest brother's legs? Why are we talking about Lingnan? Let's check it out first."

Yuchi Baoqi thought about it. It was not good to keep talking like this. Li Chengqian was a little angry that Li Lizhi interrupted his study.

Yuchi Baoqi touched it twice carefully, scanned it with the system, and then pretended to touch and pinch it.

"No problem. Have you had any pain these past few days?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's not only painful, but also a little itchy. But it's okay to do something on hand and not think about him."

Yuchi Baoqi hung Li Chengqian's leg back on the rack and made sure it was fixed.

"Don't worry, I'm recovering well. It's itchy because the wound is healing, and it's painful because the bones are growing. It will get better as time goes by."

After hearing what Yuchi Baoqi said, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to be the prince. It's all thanks to you."

Yuchi Baoqi comforted him: "As a family, you don't have to think about this. When your legs and feet get better, your father will teach you how to become an emperor. You have to study hard."

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly. Before Yuchi Baoqi and Li Lizhi left, Li Chengqian also performed the disciple's etiquette on Yuchi Baoqi.

"One day when I sit on the dragon throne, I will worship the British Lord as my imperial master!"

Yuchi Baoqi waved his fist: "When you become the emperor, I will go overseas to enjoy a happy life. You, my father, call me fiercely. In the end, you have to call me fiercely! I am a cow, I am!"

Li Lizhi laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears when she looked at her elder brother's stern expression.

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Lizhi left the palace, and Li Li questioned Yuchi Baoqi in the carriage.

"Will the test run go well tomorrow? Will there be any danger?"

Yuchi Baoqi hugged Li Lizhi and said, "What's the danger? If it goes well, we'll have a celebration banquet. If it doesn't go well, we'll have a banquet."

Li Lizhi slapped Yuchi Baoqi's hand: "Let's talk about it after we get home, you're so frivolous!"

The next day, in the testing ground of the Ministry of Industry. Yuchi Baoqi looked at the radiant Li Lizhi, her legs shaking non-stop.

I don’t know why, everyone obviously contributed, why did I feel weak?

When Li Shimin arrived with the ministers, Yuchi Baoqi and the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry had already finished debugging the boiler at the front of the car.

Yuchi Baoqi asked Li Shimin: "It may be dangerous, do you dare to sit down? If you don't dare, I will go to Luoyang alone and pick up Jia Dunshi to report his work to you."

Li Shimin was a little tangled. He was a little afraid of this unknown thing, but it was another matter for this kid to ask blatantly.

Not understanding this, he asked Li Shimin: "Hey! Lao Deng! Do you dare to sit down? Don't you dare? You are indeed a coward!"

Li Shimin added drama to himself and waved his hand: "What do I have to fear? What if I just sit on it?"

Li Shimin hoped that some ministers could help and say a few words, take care of the dragon's body and don't risk your life.

Who knew that when Yuchi Jingde came up, he took Li Shimin's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Erlang! I, Yuchi Gong, will accompany you. If something happens, I will be your bodyguard leader even to the underworld!"

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly felt a little heroic when he heard his father's heroic words.

"Here we go to Quantai Recruitment Department, with one hundred thousand flags and behead Yama!"

Li Shimin savored this poem carefully and felt bold and heroic in his heart.

Several important ministers also rushed to get on the train. Some minor officials were not worthy to get on the train with His Majesty. Yuchi Baoqi did not expect that things would develop like this.

As the whistle blew, Duan Lun controlled the locomotive to start. The more than 60-year-old driver drove for the first time, bringing with him all the civil servants and first-class generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Lizhi stood in front of the train window and pointed. Li Shimin felt the speed of the train and firmly grasped the armrests of the seats.

As the train began to slow down, Yuchi Baoqi looked at his watch and nodded with satisfaction.

"One hundred kilometers per hour without load."

Both Li Shimin and Li Lizhi had learned about the new units of measurement, and they didn't realize it yet.

"We're here now? Arrived in Luoyang?"

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "Isn't it starting to slow down? It's almost there."

Before Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, the whistle sounded again and the train began to slow down until it stopped.

Li Shimin stepped out of the carriage surrounded by ministers and looked at the majestic Luoyang City as if he was in another world.

"It's really Luoyang, I've really arrived in Luoyang."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at his watch: "It took a total of one and a half hours and traveled more than [-] kilometers. When the next set of trains comes off the assembly line, the Chang'an Luoyang Line can be officially put into operation."

Although Li Shimin was still immersed in the speed of the train, he still keenly captured the meaning of Yuchi Baoqi's words.

"Is this set of trains going to be used in Wu County?"

Yuchi Baoqi said firmly: "Of course, otherwise how could those good things transported by sea get to Beijing? I plan to sell some of them in Jiangnan Road and exchange them for treasure notes and silver coins and transport them back by train."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment: "Maybe this car is used to transport troops?"

Yuchi Baoqi sneered: "Weren't you transported to Luoyang? I don't understand what you are asking."

Li Lizhi pointed to Luoyang City Gate: "Someone is coming!"

Wang De hurried to the other side of the house at super speed, fearing that Luoyang would not know the situation and collide with Li Shimin.

Jia Dunshi was brought to Li Shimin by Wang De. He didn't look at Li Shimin at all and stared at the locomotive.

"Your Majesty, are you here to control the dragon this time? Has this dragon been tamed by your Majesty?"

Li Shimin looked at the locomotive, and then at the carriages behind him. It did look a bit like it.

"This is a train invented by the British father, not a dragon. I'm not that capable yet."

Jia Dunshi asked again: "Could it be that His Majesty set out for Luoyang yesterday? Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I can be prepared?"

Yuchi Baoqi patted Jia Dunshi on the shoulder: "Old Jia, we set off in the morning, haven't we just arrived? You can quickly arrange a meal in the city, and we will go back after eating."

Li Shimin nodded to Jia Dunshi: "Go and get ready. There's no need to be too showy."

Jia Dunshi quickly asked his team from the governor's office to go to the city, while he stayed behind and accompanied Li Shimin into the city.

Yuchi Baoqi came to Luoyang many times last year, and was quite familiar with it. He took Li Lizhi around, leaving Li Shimin and the ministers to let Jia Dunshi do the work.
