Cheng Yaojin, looking expectantly at Wei Chizhen's shocked expression, saw the hand cannon in Wei Chizhen's hand already aimed at them.
He shouted in alarm to Fang Er, "Holy crap! Stop! Stop the car quickly!"
"That bastard, Lao Hei, is serious!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Er quickly steered and slammed on the brakes.
The massive vehicle spun around in place.
He looked at Cheng Yaojin with confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Yaojin, still feeling a bit scared, handed the binoculars to Fang Er. "Take a look yourself. That big dark guy is really something else."
Fang Er got out of the car and looked through the binoculars.
He was utterly speechless. "What is all this! One wants to ram me with a car, and the other pulls out a gun!"
"Are you sure you're brothers?"
Seeing that the monster had stopped, Wei Chizhen waved his troops to continue forward.
As they got closer, he saw Fang Er and Cheng Yaojin standing next to the monster.
He then spurred his horse and accelerated towards them.
He shouted excitedly, "Hahahaha! Old Cheng, Brother Fang, your big dark brother is here!"
"How's that! Happy, aren't you, surprised?"
Cheng Yaojin had indeed been happy earlier.
But now he wasn't happy at all!
He was quite displeased that he couldn't intimidate Wei Chizhen with the car!
"Brother Fang, drive, ignore him!"
He then jumped into the passenger seat with a look of resentment.
Wei Chizhen was somewhat bewildered.
"Coming from Shenyang city towards here, aren't they here to welcome me?"
"How come, before we even exchanged a word, they're leaving?"
"Also, what is this black, somewhat square iron thing?"
"And it can run?"
"Is there some beast hidden inside?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go!"
Seeing Fang Er also jumping onto the monster, Wei Chizhen became anxious.
"You can't play this game!"
He jumped off his warhorse and rushed to the pickup truck, saying to Fang Er, "Brother, what's wrong? Let me on too, I want to try this thing."
Cheng Yaojin turned his head, glanced at Wei Chizhen, and then patted Fang Er's shoulder.
"Let's go! That guy dared to point a gun at us, let him ride his horse alone!"
Fang Er gave Cheng Yaojin a look of disdain.
"Hey, wasn't it you who told me to drive towards him?"
"Anyone would draw their weapon if an unknown object like that rammed towards them!"
He turned around and opened the rear door.
"Brother Wei Chi, get in!"
Wei Chizhen cautiously and curiously climbed into the pickup truck.
He left his horse on the road.
Watching Fang Er's inexplicable operations, the large contraption started running.
Its speed was faster than a warhorse.
"Alas, brother, what is this thing? It looks so powerful!"
Cheng Yaojin finally had a reason to show off.
"Heh heh, I love seeing your unworldly look!"
"This is called a pickup truck! A pickup truck that travels two thousand li a day!"
"Purely handmade! V16 naturally aspirated diesel engine, maximum horsepower of 2000 hp!"
"How about that? Do you understand? If not, ask!"
Fang Er curled his lips at Cheng Yaojin's words.
"As if you understand it yourself!"
But he had to admit, Cheng Yaojin's words did indeed stun Wei Chizhen.
Although Wei Chizhen's ears were ringing,
He could indeed understand "two thousand li a day."
Two thousand li? Doesn't that mean it would only take three days to get back to Chang'an?
Wei Chizhen's face was filled with shock!
"Damn it!"
It took him nearly a month with his army and officials to travel from Chang'an to Shenyang.
And now they were telling him it would only take three days to get back to Chang'an?
"Are you kidding me?"
Fang Er smiled and shook his head.
"Three days back to Chang'an is only with the speed on these dirt roads."
"If we paved the roads with cement, it would only take a day and a half!"
This wasn't an exaggeration.
Xi'an to Shenyang was at most four thousand li.
Even with bumpy roads, running at fifty miles per hour wouldn't be a problem.
Two hundred li per hour.
Running over a thousand li in a day would be no problem.
Three days would be enough to reach Chang'an.
Wei Chizhen said seriously,
"Then build it! Build it quickly!"
"If there aren't enough people, go capture prisoners of war! The Ministry of Revenue's agricultural reclamation department is doing very well!"
"They've already opened up tens of thousands of mu of land!"
"Let's also create a Construction Department! The Emperor will surely agree!"
These words left Fang Er quite stunned.
"That violent?"
"But I like it!"
"Old Brother Cheng and I had the same idea, but there weren't enough people here."
"Now that you've arrived, we can go all out."
"By the way, Brother Wei Chi, how many troops did you bring this time?"
Wei Chizhen: "Forty thousand troops and over a hundred officials!"
Cheng Yaojin was ecstatic upon hearing that Li Shimin had sent so many troops!
Now they could go wild without restraint!
A moment of wildness, a moment of fun!
Constant wildness, constant fun!
Conquering countries and capturing laborers, that's what I love most!
Hiahiahiahiahia!
