It rained in the new city.

The rain drizzled away the black fish-scale tiles, and fog began to fall down the city, mixed with the white vapor spreading out of the rope column of the hanging car. The vision was hazy. Li Buzhuo raised the umbrella under the city wall, and his eyes were upward along the umbrella: two machine ships in the distance squeezed out the rain curtain and fell to the edge of the flying platform outside the city. The ladders descending on the side of the ship were transported down from wooden warehouses and landed on the ground with a loud bang, as if they could feel shocks between more than ten miles.

Li Buzhuo remembered the moment when he first saw the hundred ghosts carrying dragon boats before coming to Youzhou. Facing the peak creation of the Mo Shi mechanism, he always had an insignificant illusion. He suddenly thought again, maybe this was not an illusion.

"This is the lifeblood of Xinquan City." Bai You followed Li Buzhuo's eyes and looked at the flying platform. The puppets loading and unloading goods in the distance were as thin as ants. "The tincture, black oil, sinking air, floating crystals produced by each border prefecture, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of pig iron produced by the casting and refining departments of the five counties under the Xinquan Prefecture were transported into the city."

Grease oil, black oil, sinking air, and floating crystals are the energy needed by large ink masters. Li Buzhuo also escorted the transportation team while fighting at the border. Although he did not want to admit it, many times, ten cars of black oil are worth more than ten people's lives.

"What happens if this lifeline is broken?"

"You dare to say more than me." Bai You smacked his tongue, "How can it be broken? Wujisi's backstage is very hard. If there is any change, you can urgently use the power to call the troops. Quan is the same as Chitian Palace. If you take a step back, you will not mention it. If any ship is broken..."

Bai You was stunned for a moment, tied his fan bones and slapped his palms: "That's over, Fuyuefang, Spider Building, Palace, City, Hanging Cars... Once these things are stopped, they will be a loss of ten thousand gold in a day, which is amazing."

Li Buzhuo looked at the gate of the city gate with people and cars and horses in the distance, and suddenly felt that although the new lockdown was prosperous, it was not as peaceful as the small border town that could be seen at a glance.

"Stop looking, get in the carriage." Bai You walked onto the carriage by the side of the road and lifted the curtain and shouted at Li Buzhuo.

Three mechanical horses stood side by side in the shaft. If the body surface was not hairless, the black paint was shining, and the joints were connected to the gears and mortise and tenon protruding, almost the same as living things. Li Buzhuo stepped onto the carriage in two steps. The carriage was very spacious, the wall was hollow, ice was stored in summer, and charcoal was stored in winter.

There were a few bellies in the carriage, Bai You, Kou Zhengzhi, and Sun Wei who were already leaning against the red and snuggling green, and greeted Li Buzhuo.

Just as Li Buzhuo sat down, a plump girl snuggled up next to her and fed Li Buzhuo wine with her mouth. Li Buzhuo turned his head and opened her sideways. The girl swallowed the wine and lowered her head and laughed: "Young Master Bai, your friend is so shy."

Bai You laughed at the people around him and looked at Li Buzhuo: "Are you still a man?"

Sun Wei shook his head and laughed: "Brother Li read Xiaodaozang through it. Have you never read the method of drinking swords and gui? The saliva is a golden liquor and jade liquid, which can irrigate the mud balls, especially the golden liquor and jade liquid of a virgin beauty, which has a unique taste."

Li Buzhuo's eyebrows trembled and said with a smile: "When you got to the Ruo County Examination, I believe you if you answer this way. It's better to have a pure wine."

The girl was angry with Li Buzhuo for a moment, and carried the pot to fill the exquisite hot lacquer wine cup, and held it close in her palm.

Li Buzhuo took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, and also took over the girl.

Everyone also let go and said that this was the only decent one.

The carriage was driving, and everyone was talking about everything. When talking about listening to the things in the audience of Xian, Bai You said, "Although you have an unhappy relationship with Fang Xing, you don't have to worry about him. This person is the most unscrupulous. If you lose, he will look down on you. Now you win. Not only will he not cause trouble, but he will probably want to make peace with you now."

The carriage drove to the Shangcheng Restaurant and stopped. The county school was approaching, and even the playboys would not go to the world to have fun. After dinner, Bai You invited Li Buzhuo to stay at the Bai family overnight. Li Buzhuo pushed him to the county examination and returned home.

Back outside the courtyard gate of No. 16, Lixi Lane, she protected the food box along the way. Li Buzhuo wet half of his body and hurriedly stepped under the eaves to shake the dry oil cloth umbrella.

When he opened the door, he saw that the lights were on in Yan Chixue's study. Li Buzhuo walked into the backyard and returned to the house and handed the food box to three kilograms.

Sanjin took the food box, his nose shook, and he looked at Li Buzhuo suspiciously and said, "It smells like rouge, haven't you gone to Tingxiantai?"

Li Buzhuo was stunned and looked down. He saw that there was a lot of rain on his body, and he only smelled of alcohol. He didn't smell any rouge. He patted Sanjin's head: "What are you talking nonsense?"

Sanjin said: "Sister Yan told me that you and the one in the Bai family are going to drink flower wine."

Yan Chixue was still ventilated with Sanjin. What was this? Li Buzhuo was silent and opened the food box and said, "You're going to take care of me, eat your meal honestly."

Sanjin turned his head and said, "I won't eat it anymore, I've eaten it."

"What have you eaten?" Li Buzhuo took off his wet coat and handed it to three pounds, "Where am I drying my clothes?"

"It's been dinner." Sanjin looked at Li Buzhuo's wet clothes squintedly, "Look for it yourself."

Li Buzhuo frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Sanjin snorted, walked out of the house in a depressed mood, and used force when closing the door, and a bang.

"This house is rented!" Li Buzhuo shouted.

Listening to Sanjin walking away outside, Li Buzhuo looked at the food box on the table, picked up his clothes and sniffed it, and felt inexplicably.

Sanjin has always loved to eat a little, and has never been so arrogant. What's wrong now?

After changing his clothes, Li Buzhuo made a torch and steamed the dishes in the food box. He knocked on the three jin door and said he was hungry and went to eat it himself. Then he returned to the study, opened the paper box he won today, and took out the handwriting of Jiang Taichuan.

After reading it, Li Buzhuo thought that this Grand Secretary was just a little bit like Err when he was young, and it seemed that he was late to achieve success.

If I think about it twice, I feel that this article is simple and unpretentious and has a different charm.

After reading this for half an hour, Li Buzhuo suddenly realized: "This article is concise and straightforward, but the meaning is impartial and grand. How could it be ranked behind the 20th place? I'm afraid the examiner at that time also took a look."

"I am worthy of being a Grand Secretary. When he passed the exam, he was less than twenty years old, and he was not much different from my age. I believe I can't write such an article."

Li Buzhuo was stunned and couldn't help feeling lost. He spent countless years studying in his dream, but he was compared by others.

I suddenly fell into self-doubt. Since I read the Taoist Canon, I have started to learn miscellaneous studies. Are you a little eager for quick success?

Once you begin to deny yourself, the Taoist system established in your mind will gradually collapse.

Li Buzhuo felt excited and cheered up.
