Ma Liang and others had already gone to bed in the post house room, only Xu Yue was still waiting for her with her sleeping twins.
Seeing her elder sister's expression of despair, although Xu Yue felt very distressed, she still couldn't help but want to share the good news with her elder sister.
"Sister, our bicycle team traveled nearly 200 kilometers a day today. Maybe because of the many downhill roads, the speed was nearly twice as fast as the previous few days."
"At this rate, we will be able to reach Yuyang the day after tomorrow."
Xu Erniang is tired now. She is tired physically and mentally. She is so tired that she doesn't want to talk.
I barely glanced at the child and fell asleep.
Xu Yue sighed helplessly. The wind was a bit strong at night, so she covered the mother and son with thin quilts, turned off the lights and continued to sleep.
The next day, Xu Erniang slept until noon.
When I woke up, I found that I was the only one left in the room.
She! Abandoned by the cycling team!
From the hall downstairs came the cries of Xu Dongbei being beaten by Xu Pingyuan, and the anxious voice of the Son of God trying to persuade him.
Xu Erniang: Yes, this is because I dislike them, so I kept all three of them, mother and son!
Xu Yue didn't know what her sister thought like this. If she knew, she would definitely scream that she was wronged.
She obviously felt sorry for her family, so she left them behind and let them drive back to Yuyang slowly in a carriage.
After all, it's not far from Yuyang, and it only takes three days by car.
Without the three "drags" of the mother and son, the convoy successfully arrived at its destination, the gate of Yuyang County, the next afternoon.
This journey, how should I put it, is really tiring, but the speed is also really fast.
However, Ma Liang said: "Ordinary people are better off riding horses and riding cars. They are not professional Xu Jiajun. They don't have the physical strength like us, let alone the speed we have."
Xu Yue nodded in agreement.
However, the purpose of exchanging bicycles with the technology tree was not to provide an additional travel tool for the common people, but to prepare it specifically for the soldiers of the Xu Jiajun.
Next, the main tone of the entire Youzhou is to improve the infrastructure construction on its own territory, and will temporarily slow down the pace of external expansion.
With bicycles, Xu Jiajun soldiers can enjoy faster and more flexible transportation on the cement roads in Youzhou.
If the technology tree hadn't wanted to see her exchange for modern advanced transportation, and deliberately charged high prices, making the cost-effectiveness of modern transportation too low, Xu Yue would have wanted to get a few jeeps and drive them.
After all, compared to cars, bicycles are just the younger brother!
The motorcade arrived in Yuyang, and without any suspense, the people gathered around to watch.
"Riding from Zhuo County to Yuyang County? That's really good physical strength!" the people exclaimed.
The Xu Jiajun soldiers in Yuyang were filled with admiration as they listened to Ma Liang and others describe the difficulties along the way.
"Fellow Daoist Ma Liang, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being the elite riders specially selected by our General Xu!" The soldiers were full of admiration.
At most, they rode bicycles around Yuyang County, and could not imagine what it would be like to travel long distances using bicycles instead of horses.
However, seeing that the leader and others all had their skins darkened by two degrees, it is not difficult to guess that there must be thousands of hardships involved.
Feeling the admiration of everyone, Ma Liang and others waved their hands sheepishly, "It's actually okay, it's not as difficult as imagined."
"It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after riding for two days, I got used to the rhythm. It was much easier than training in the military camp."
Ma Liang was talking about his truest feelings, but people thought he was being modest.
Xu Yue's stomach growled. Cycling took a lot of energy. In order to rush on the road at noon, she just took a few bites and didn't feel full at all.
"Okay, okay, let's disperse!" Xu Yue shouted to the onlookers and asked them to go to their respective homes.
The leader's prestige was still there, so everyone stopped questioning Ma Liang and others and made way for the convoy to leave.
Under the leadership of the leader, the convoy of more than fifty bicycles whizzed toward the government office, forming a beautiful scenery on the streets of Yuyang, attracting pedestrians to frequently stop and pay attention.
The government office had already reacted to such a movement.
As soon as Xu Yue led Ma Liang and others to the gate of the government office, Sima Yi and Jun Mei came out to welcome them.
"Chief!" they both called in unison.
The man looked calm, as if nothing could cause him to be emotionally disturbed.
One person was full of smiles and rushed over enthusiastically. If he hadn't restrained himself, he would have given Xu Yue a bear hug.
"Young lady, you're finally back!" Junmei suppressed her voice and tried not to grin too much.
Xu Yue raised her eyebrows at her in a funny way. The two of them had grown up together since childhood, and they had a tacit understanding without the need for too many words.
Let’s talk later and finish the business first.
Junmei also raised her eyebrows, indicating that she had received the hint.
"Ma Liang, this is Wang Junmei, my secretary-general. She is the sister I grew up with. You go down with her to settle down first."
After Xu Yue introduced Junmei, she pointed at Ma Liang and others and introduced them to Junmei.
Junmei smiled and waved to Ma Liang and others, "Fellow Taoists, come with me."
A group of old men suddenly felt embarrassed in front of a little girl, smiled innocently, and followed her footsteps.
Xu Dalang noticed Ma Liang's eyes that were almost glued to Jun Mei's body, and said "tsk" in disgust, feeling that he was so embarrassed by the people under his command!
Sima Yi stepped forward, looked at Xu Yue's darkened skin first, and shook his head with a sigh,
“In order to prove that you can travel long distances by riding a bicycle, the leader actually took the certificate himself. Such spirit is really admirable!”
"Sima Yi, please stop flattering me. Do you have anything to eat or drink? Get me some quickly, I'm going to starve to death!" Xu Yue greeted her brother and entered the government office together.
Sima Yi sighed softly and went down to make arrangements resignedly.
It was already getting hot in Yuyang in June, and there was a draft blowing in the room. Most of Xu Yue's dryness finally dissipated.
Sima Yi brought a bucket of ice syrup in and gave Xu Yue and Xu Dalang a large cup each. The cold water mixed with brown sugar and vinegar was sour and sweet, which was particularly refreshing against the heat.
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang drank two glasses of wine in a row and finally came to life.
After the brother and sister finished drinking the water, the simple meal Sima Yi asked the guards to buy on the street also arrived.
A simple meal of four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, placed in a special checkered plate with a lid on it and ready to eat.
Xu Yue asked in surprise: "Has fast food been launched in the city?"
Sima Yi nodded, opened the lid, and the three of them cooked together, saying as they ate:
"They are all tricks created by the students of Zhuangzi School. This is just one of them. There are people in the city who deliver food to people. If you want to eat anything, just ask someone to run errands to the restaurant to buy it and it will be delivered to your home."
Xu Yue was shocked, my students are so creative?
Sima Yi seemed to know what she was thinking, and added mysteriously:
"I was about to ask Junmei to send you a message about something. I didn't expect you guys to come so quickly. Now it's better and it saves me trouble. Since you're here, go and see for yourself."
