Chapter 726 Crossing the River
Before the sun set, a large number of people gathered in front of the broken iron chain bridge in Qingping Town.
The Wen Manager and his craftsmen had already built the iron locks and rings needed to repair the bridge. The Wen Manager and a few craftsmen stood on this side of the bridge, pointing to the piers on both sides and the broken and residual iron lock chains, and studying how to repair the bridge as soon as possible. Many people gathered here to watch the fun.
Suddenly, a sound sounded at the bridgehead.
"Mr. Yan is here..."
Hearing this voice, everyone around the bridge head consciously and respectfully made a way out, and then Yan Liqiang walked from behind to the bridge head.
Yan Liqiang returned to Qingping Town calmly. He still had time to practice Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Sutra several times in the afternoon. Although he had just had a fight with the Ghost King, under the powerful effect of Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Sutra, his injuries were healed a little.
"I have met Lord Yan..." Manager Wen and several craftsmen hurried over and bowed to Yan Liqiang.
"No need to be too polite!" Yan Liqiang waved his hand, "I heard that you have already made the things you need to build the bridge, so come and see, how is it, is there no problem?"
"Sir Qi, we have already built the things!" Manager Wen pointed to the pile of things placed on the ground and said humbly, "We are here now to see how to repair this bridge!"
"No, good, you are very efficient!" Yan Liqiang looked at the things and nodded with satisfaction, "What is your bridge repair plan?"
"We are going to send a few craftsmen to the other side of the river with this rope, pull the rope up first, and then slide the things used for bridge repair with a rope. Some of the broken iron locks need to be repaired and a few iron locks can be pulled up. There are also several iron locks that fall into the river. People need to hook up the hook and then connect them to these iron locks and buckles. It is a bit difficult to salvage the iron locks that fall into the river. It will take some time to repair the broken iron locks, but we will do it as soon as possible..." Manager Wen said, while looking at Yan Liqiang with some anxiety. Two hours is the limit that Manager Wen said with gritted teeth, because in another two hours, it will be almost the hour of Hai. If you can't do these within two hours, the time to travel tonight will be delayed. At this time, this time will not be delayed.
"Two hours?" Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the tools in front of him, and then looked at the iron locks that had been broken and hung in the river.
Manager Wen was sweating all over. He thought Yan Liqiang was not satisfied. He bent over and looked at Yan Liqiang with a bitter look on his face. "Sir, this... this is our limit... the iron lock is heavy, and salvage takes time. It is not easy to repair the broken iron lock iron buckle. If it is faster, I am afraid... I am afraid..."
Yan Liqiang laughed, patted Manager Wen's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Two hours have been too long, but I won't bother you about repairing the bridge. Since the tools are all ready, you can watch it on the shore. I think it will take half a quarter of an hour to repair the bridge..."
Half a quarter of an hour?
Manager Wen and the craftsmen around him looked at each other, and looked at Yan Liqiang in amazement, thinking that he had heard it wrong, how could it be possible?
Yan Liqiang smiled and picked up the ropes used for bridge repair and the iron lock rings weighing hundreds of pounds...
"Sir, are you..." Manager Wen looked at Yan Liqiang in shock.
"Haha, just watch it!" Yan Liqiang said, and as everyone here looked at him, he jumped, holding those things in his hands, and flew directly like a bird flying in the sky, spanning a river more than ten feet long, landing steadily on the other side. Everyone here exclaimed.
Yan Liqiang, who landed on the other side, put down the other things in his hand and only held a circle of ropes. There was an iron hook like cat claws on the ropes. This thing was used to salvage the iron locks that were dropped into the river.
Yan Liqiang shook the long rope open, waved it in his hand, and then threw the rope down into the river with a bang. The iron hook entered the water like a javelin, splashing water more than ten meters high. Then Yan Liqiang slowly pulled the rope up, and when the iron hook of the rope left the water surface, there was indeed a broken lock ring of the iron lock hook on the iron hook.
"Mr. Yan has hooked the iron hook..." The crowd onlookers exclaimed.
"Hey, I hooked it up with one hand. Lord Yan's ability is really amazing..."
The river water was surging and there was no bottom. The broken iron lock fell into the river. Everyone could only see a general direction. If you want to hook it with a hook, it would not be easy. If someone else salvaged it, you could only throw the iron hook down and try your luck again and again to see if it could hook it up. How could it be as straightforward as Yan Liqiang?
Moreover, the iron lock that fell in the river weighed one or two thousand pounds. Yan Liqiang pulled the iron lock up so easily just like an old man catching a small fish.
Yan Liqiang held the iron lock with one hand and shook it gently. The iron chain that had just been pulled out of the river suddenly splashed and became straight and crossed the river surface. Then Yan Liqiang picked up a built-in iron lock and buckled it on a ring of the broken iron lock. The lock of the iron lock, which was thicker than the adult's thumb, was kneaded at will with Yan Liqiang as if it were made of mud on Yan Liqiang's hands.
Yan Liqiang carried the iron lock and buckled the bridge pier on the bridgehead side. After twisting it, the entire iron lock was tightly sealed and pulled it out like this. It was extremely easy. It took Yan Liqiang less than half a minute to repair the iron lock...
The people on the bridgehead were already stunned and silent...
The next second, Yan Liqiang made the same soaking process, simply repeating the process, lowering the hook, pulling up the iron lock in the river, and then buckle the broken iron lock, straighten it, buckle it on the lock of the bridge pier, twist it, and it's done.
In less than five minutes, the broken iron locks were picked up one by one by Yan Liqiang, and then they were fixed on the bridge pier. In just a moment, the iron locks returned to their positions and were repaired. A solid iron chain bridge reappeared in front of everyone.
Yan Liqiang calmly stepped on the repaired iron chain bridge and walked back to the Wen Manager. "The iron lock has been pulled back. If you want to pass by the carriage, you have to lay the bridge deck on the iron lock. The following matter will be left to you..."
Manager Wen, who was still stunned, was shocked and came back to his senses, "Ah... Sir, don't worry, all the wooden boards on the bridge deck are ready and can be laid out soon..."
"Well, you have worked hard, I heard that you didn't have any meals today. After finishing these, let everyone eat something and take a break, and then we are ready to leave!"
Manager Wen nodded quickly...
After finishing these things, Yan Liqiang left. Then the manager Wen and several craftsmen were careful that the iron locks and rings on the other side were not fixed. They also touched the iron locks across the river and checked them carefully. The so-called "not knowing if you don't look at them." They were shocked when they saw the iron rings that were buckled by Yan Liqiang on the bridge pier. They all took a breath of air conditioning. The interfaces of the iron rings were twisted into a twist-like shape by Yan Liqiang, so strong that they could not be more solid. Looking closely, there were even finger marks on the iron rings on them. The lines on the finger marks could be distinguished...
"This... this iron ring is so thick, but it is made of stainless steel... This... how much strength does it take to twist the interface of the iron ring like this..." A craftsman murmured to himself in a daze, "If we do this in the blacksmith's workshop, we will have to hit it thousands of hammers. It will take a day or two to twist it..."
Manager Wen also swallowed with his eyes wide open, "Don't be standing there, hurry up and do things..."
The wooden boards used for laying the bridge deck are the door panels that were removed from Qingping Town. All the door panels are cut and shave according to the length, then drilled holes and put on the ropes. After laying them on the bridge deck, fix the ropes on the iron lock, and the bridge deck will come out.
It was still the same as yesterday. As soon as the hour of Hai arrived, Yan Liqiang brought everyone to the bridge and began to cross the bridge.
Yan Liqiang rode on the colorful clouds and chased the moon, and was the first to cross the bridge, then stood by the bridge, waiting for the subsequent people and vehicles to come one by one.
The laid iron chain bridge was a little swaying, but it could already bring the carriages and horses over. All the wheels and horseshoes were wrapped in cotton cloth again, and the sounds made by the horseshoes and wheels on the wooden board were also particularly dull.
After Concubine Rong's carriage came over, the carriage stopped in front of Yan Liqiang. The curtain behind the air hole in the car window was lifted, revealing Concubine Rong's big eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, I heard that the bridge repair is all due to Lord Yan today. If there were no masters, the bridge might not be repaired well now..."
"You are polite, I just put in some brute force, and I will follow our craftsmen to be effective!" Yan Liqiang said modestly.
"So can you leave Huizhou City tonight?"
Yan Liqiang nodded, "After crossing this bridge, it is almost in Huizhou. There are more roads to choose from behind. As long as we avoid those dangerous places along the way, we will definitely be able to pass Huizhou City tonight!"
"Then please, Lord Yan!"
Yan Liqiang nodded.
The curtain of the carriage was also put down.
After everyone crossed the river, Yan Liqiang shook the reins and ran to the front of the team with Caiyun Zhuiyue and led the team on the way.
Chapter completed!
