"Knock knock."

Someone knocked on the door outside.

Chu Pu opened the door and found Gong Shufeng standing outside.

Although the two had a dispute, the latter did not slack off on the itinerary

of the messenger group in Shangyuan City because of this, and he was still in

charge of taking care of them.

"Is something wrong?" Chu Pu asked.

"Master Xia said, it's time." He replied briefly.

it's time? when? Yu Heng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the

other party was referring to the Haikou that Jiuxiao Tianlei had praised to

her.

But she remembered that there were no plans to hold a celebration in Shangyuan

City.

According to common sense, a major diplomatic event of this scale must be well

written.

Sure enough... just pretending?

For some unknown reason, Chu Pu suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

However, the upper-level negotiation always pays attention to etiquette. Even

if the other party is obviously perfunctory, she cannot directly refuse.

"Really? Then please wait a moment, and I will call the mission."

In less than half an hour, everyone was ready. Walking out of the Foreign

Affairs Building, Chu Pu saw a special car parked on the street.

"Wait, if it's a banquet, shouldn't it be held in the palace?"

"What banquet?" Gong Shufeng asked back.

"Uh..." Chu Pu was a little stuck for a while. Xia Fan undoubtedly wanted to

prove that Qiguo could not only rule the mainland, but also affect the Western

Pole Kingdom, so the scenario she imagined should be that the envoys from the

Western Pole would gather together to meet Qiguo. Signing a contract, whether

it is a tribute or a vassal, can demonstrate the strength of Qiguo. At the

same time, such a far-reaching day will definitely be celebrated by the

capital, and the "civilization and martial arts" of the king will be recorded

in the annals of history.

Of course, she didn't think Qiguo could do this, and it was normal to find a

few Westerners to deal with, but she didn't expect that even the banquet would

be omitted. "Then where are we going?"

"Go to the harbour pier."

"Wharf?" Chu Pu was stunned, "There is no sea around Shangyuan City."

"That's right, so we have to go to Shangyuan Junction first, and then divert

to Jinxia City Seaport."

"Sir, please be blunt, the Jinxia City you mentioned should be in the south of

Qiguo?" Some of the guards couldn't help but speak. "It's winter now!"

"Even if we can go, it will take a month or two on the road. Is Master Xia

expelling us in disguise!"

"If you don't want to have peace talks, I can leave when I'm old."

Faced with the questioning envoys, Gong Shufeng scratched his head,

"Sorry...it's my problem. I forgot to tell you that Master Xia is currently in

Jinxia City. You don't need one or two to get there. Moon, if I leave now, I

can even catch up with lunch.”

"You said...what?" Chu Pu blinked, "I saw Lord Xia a few days ago."

"So didn't I say it? It doesn't take that long to go to Jinxia." Gong Shufeng

repeated it seriously, "In fact, he has to go back and forth between the two

places several times a month."

Everyone could not help but look at each other.

They can no longer understand whether this is the truth or a crude deception.

If you are looking for a random reason to kill the mission, it is better to do

it directly in the foreign affairs building.

It was with this contradictory mentality that the group followed Gongshufeng

by car and left the city to what he called the "hub station". Surprisingly,

this place is not a deserted countryside at all, there are not many houses

around, but a lot of roads have been repaired, and there are many ordinary

people.

Walking down the stairs into the ground, Chu Pu was even more surprised. The

space below is not only huge, but also illuminated by the lights as if it were

daytime. In the past few days since she came to Shangyuan City, she had

already seen the magic of electric lights, but she also understood that this

thing is very precious. Currently, she can only use important places such as

palaces, academies, and markets. She did not expect that there would be such a

building with a lot of electric lights in a place far away from the city.

"What does this have to do with Jinxia City?" Yu Hengshi couldn't hold back

the doubts in his heart.

"You'll know right away." Gong Shufeng led her into a slightly cramped small

house, and found a seat to sit down. The seats were very close together, which

obviously did not conform to diplomatic etiquette. But now curiosity

overwhelms everything, and she no longer picks up on these minutiae.

With a clear bell, the room suddenly trembled.

Chu Pu immediately grabbed Gong Shufeng's wrist!

"Do you want to take me as a hostage?" The latter smiled unconcernedly.

"Actually, there is no need to worry about security issues. This war no longer

needs to be won by eliminating the mission."

Chu Pu let go of her hand in embarrassment, how could she admit that she was

frightened just now. After all, no matter how strong the inheritance of

Yuhengshi is, the alchemist is also a human being. In a completely unfamiliar

and unknown environment, any disturbance may turn into an overreaction.

Since fright is more shameful than threats, she chose to acquiesce to the

other party's statement, "Then what's the matter with this shock?"

"Can you feel it more carefully?" Gong Shufeng said.

Yu Heng made a glance at him and slowly sank. Only then did she realize that

not only the house was moving, but the hub outside was also moving, but there

was no light outside the window, so she thought that the opposite side of the

glass was a fixed rock. In addition, through the sound of the air moving, she

felt as if she was moving forward with the house.

"Are we moving?"

"To be precise, it's moving to the south." Gong Shufeng nodded.

To the south... Chu Pu was stunned, did he mean Jinxia City? In other words,

this thing is not a small underground house, but a means of transportation! ?

How can there be such a reason?

It is difficult to build roads on the ground alone, let alone dig holes in the

ground?

Anyone with a normal mind would subconsciously feel absurd!

But at this moment, a light entered the house

Everyone sat there in an instant, and they saw the most incredible sight in

their lives!

I saw the abyss under my feet~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the mountains in the

distance. The bright snow on the top of the mountain proves that this is by no

means a paradise, but a land of Qiguo in the deep winter.

They appear to be floating over the abyss, but in fact they are traveling over

a huge bridge. The piers, which are comparable to the pillars of the sky, are

spread out tightly, forming a magnificent high wall of pillars. The proud

barriers of Yongding City are not worth mentioning in front of these pillars.

They seem to stretch out from the bottom of the abyss.

The rapidly retreating mountains and morning light showed that everyone was

advancing at an astonishing speed, but at this speed, no matter how much Yu

Hengshi opened his mouth, he could not find the corresponding words.

like wind? like arrows? like a bird?

No, they were quicker than the wind, swifter than arrows, and even the birds

with their wings were left far behind.

Chu Pu grabbed his chest hard.

For the first time, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and this time it

wasn't because of fear.

but out of awe.
