Chapter 200 My brother is the champion of the new division!
Chapter 200 200 My brother is the number one scholar in the new subject!
Outside Chang'an City, beside a river.
This day is the steamship trial day.
Muchuan and Di Renjie arrived here early.
This epoch-making ship is not as huge and majestic as imagined, but a small boat like a fishing boat.
It's just that this small boat carries a steam engine that can be called a divine object, which makes it inherently possible to create history.
As the steam engine started, everyone stared at the steamship nervously.
After all, this is an experimental ship type. Whether it can sail smoothly is still unknown.
Muchuan was also staring at the ship intently. If the first experiment could be successful, then the ship could be modified and driven over to pick up Xiaoying and others.
As smoke rises from the chimney, the water surface also ripples.
Muchuan knew very well that this was because the paddle wheel at the bottom of the hull began to rotate under the action of the steam engine.
At the same time, the ship also started to move slowly.
Seeing that the ship started to move, everyone shouted excitedly.
As long as you can move, all other problems can be easily solved.
Soon, as the rotational speed increased, the speed of the ship also slowly increased.
"Oh my god, this is faster than a carriage."
Looking at the ship speeding on the river, Di Renjie couldn't help but exclaimed.
A ship that is faster than a horse-drawn carriage was something that people never dared to think about before.
Amid the cheers, Di Renjie couldn't help but look at Muchuan.
Unlike others, Muchuan was also smiling, but he was not surprised, surprised or excited.
On the contrary, Di Renjie even saw a hint of loneliness in Muchuan's eyes.
This discovery made Di Renjie a little confused.
The teacher has invented this epoch-making vehicle, but why does he still look dissatisfied?
If Di Renjie, like Muchuan, had seen modern technology, he would also be dissatisfied.
Compared with modern speedboats, the speed of steamships is basically the same as climbing.
This couldn't help but make Muchuan feel a little melancholy. How far could he develop technology in his short life?
"Master, what are you worried about?"
Di Renjie couldn't help but ask.
Muchuan glanced at Di Renjie and smiled lightly: "I'm not worried."
"But your eyes are clearly full of sorrow."
"Maybe I miss my hometown." Muchuan looked at the sky and sighed leisurely.
"Teacher's hometown? Isn't the teacher a native of Chang'an?"
"Where did the little brat come from with so many problems!"
Muchuan slapped Di Renjie on the forehead, finally stopping Di Renjie's 100,000 whys.
Speaking of which, the Mu family is indeed not a native family in Chang'an.
The Mu family originated in the Jiangnan area, but Mu's father was far-sighted and spent all his family property to support Gaozu, thereby earning Gaozu's trust. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Muchuan branch also moved to Chang'an for development.
Unfortunately, Mu's father contracted a strange illness and died on the way to Chang'an before he could be rewarded for his merits.
Only Muchuan and his mother were left.
Mu's mother also died of a serious illness when Muchuan was six years old.
The above are all memories inherited by Muchuan.
To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for these parents whom he had never met before. After all, he had never met them before.
All in all, Muchuan does not have any relatives in Chang'an now, but in Jiangnan, he does have many distant relatives from his sect.
Of course, Muchuan has no idea of acknowledging his ancestors and returning to his clan just yet.
Maybe he won't get in touch until he wants to expand the Mu family's business to Jiangnan.
Muchuan was in no mood to waste time on these relatives if there was no benefit.
As for Chen Yunyun, after receiving Muchuan's letter, she was filled with joy and planned to return to Chang'an.
Halfway through the journey, the commotion ahead attracted the attention of the escort.
"What's happening ahead?"
Chen Yunyun opened the door curtain and couldn't help but ask.
The guard quickly responded with an apologetic smile, "Reporting to Miss Chen, there seems to be a robber in front of us."
Hearing this, Chen Yunyun was naturally shocked and said quickly: "Then please help me, brothers."
"Ms. Chen, why don't we say goodbye? The thieves are powerful, and our goal is only to protect Miss Chen's safety. It's better not to cause trouble."
The guard politely declined.
Although they followed Muchuan's orders, they were still unwilling to contribute in vain when faced with matters beyond their responsibilities.
Chen Yunyun obviously saw through the guards' thoughts and took out a banknote.
Under the temptation of the banknotes, the guards were finally willing to save the man.
Fortunately, the robbers had just fought, and both sides were in a lose-lose situation.
Facing the new force that had just joined, the bandits could only curse and run away.
Although the people were rescued, it was clear from the corpses on the ground that they were almost dead, leaving only a few female relatives.
It seems that this gang of robbers was extremely cruel. They killed all the men and carried away the women, just like a bunch of beasts.
"Miss Chen, we were rescued, but there are only two little girls left."
The guard ran back and replied: "And these two little girls seem to have been frightened and are still going crazy now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun quickly got off the carriage.
She planned to check out the situation. After all, she was also a woman. Talking to the two poor girls should be able to comfort them.
After walking a few steps, Chen Yunyun saw corpses all over the ground.
This purgatory-like scene on earth made Chen Yunyun look quite ugly.
But she didn't stop and walked quickly to the two women.
The two women hugged each other and crouched, looking like injured beasts at this moment, glaring at everyone present with fierce eyes.
The guards were standing around, and no matter how hard they tried to persuade, the two little girls still refused to believe that they were not robbers.
"Everyone, please give way and let me take a look."
The crowd made way for Chen Yunyun, allowing Chen Yunyun to successfully reach the two of them.
The appearance of Chen Yunyun made the two little girls stunned for a moment.
The long-haired woman cried loudly, and then hugged the short-haired woman tightly.
It can be seen that this short-haired woman did not have short hair from the beginning, but someone had cut off half of her hair. It was probably injured during a previous fight with a robber.
"Sister, are we already dead? Rakshasa ghosts have appeared!"
As soon as these words came out, even though Chen Yunyun had a good temper, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
Isn’t it just that my skin is a little darker, so why would I be called a Rakshasa ghost?
"Don't be afraid, sister, I will protect you."
The short-haired woman hugged her sister tightly and stared at Chen Yunyun.
Looking at the look with determination mixed with fear, and fear mixed with despair, I guess she really thought Chen Yunyun was a ghost seeking her life.
In desperation, Chen Yunyun could only explain.
After some explanations, the two sisters finally realized that they had wrongly blamed the good guy.
"Sister Yunyun, I'm sorry, we just said the wrong thing."
"It's okay, it's okay. Where are you two going? Why don't I give you a ride?"
"We are going to Chang'an to find my brother."
"Who is your brother?"
"Our brother is Muchuan, the new top scorer!"
Chen Yunyun was stunned when she heard this name.
Isn't Brother Mu an only child? When did his sister come?
