Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1617 Surprise
The city gate was as usual, lively and orderly.

The soldiers on the city tower basked in the sun, and the spring sun shone on their bodies so lazily that people just wanted to yawn.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Look! Look! There are so many people!"

The soldiers on the city tower suddenly became energetic, and rushed to the city wall to look out, only to see that there was indeed a long dragon walking towards the city gate in the distance.

The speed is not fast if you say it is fast, and it is not slow if you say it is slow.

"Could it be that there is a big caravan coming?" Someone hesitated.

"It doesn't look like it!"

The soldiers were only surprised, but not nervous. After all, although there were quite a few people, they were not too many to pose a threat, and they looked very messy from a distance.

It didn't take long for them to see clearly, but they also became dumbfounded.

What is that?
Not only the soldiers on the city tower saw it, but also the soldiers and common people at the city gate, and they were all dumbfounded.

What the hell is that thing that is emitting black smoke?
Now no one entered the city, and the people who were lining up to enter the city also retreated to the two sides, ready to see what this mysterious thing that was emitting black smoke was.

It looked like a car, but it looked very different from a carriage, and it was emitting black smoke as if it was on fire.

More importantly, I didn't see any animals pulling the cart. How could this cart run?
Strange, really strange!

The people at the city gate were talking about it, no one had ever seen such a strange and strange thing.

While everyone was talking, Su Cheng drove the steam car closer and closer to the city gate.

There are really not many Su Cheng people in Chang'an who don't know, and someone recognized him immediately.

"Isn't that Duke Rong?"

"It's Duke Rong!"

"This strange thing was originally made by Duke Rong!"

"What is this? Is this a car?"

"There's really no animal pulling it, and no one pushing it, so why does this thing go away like crazy?"

"Why is it smoking so much?"

Seeing the shocking expressions of the surrounding people, Yuchi Baolin and the others rode on the horse and looked around with great airs, while Cheng Chumo, who was sitting on the steam car, was filling up charcoal and waving frequently.

The people outside the city gate had already consciously parted ways and made way for the middle road.

The guard at the city gate was stunned and asked, "Duke, what is this?"

The rumbling steam car made a screeching sound and stopped. Su Cheng said loudly: "This is a steam car made by my father. It doesn't need horses or people to push it. It can move forward as long as it is lit."

The soldiers at the city gate and the people around were very surprised when they heard that they could move forward with no need for horses or people to push, but only need to light a fire?
It is simply unheard of, unseen, which makes people feel very incredible.

However, no matter how unbelievable it is, they still have to believe it, because this miraculous thing is right in front of their eyes.

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng released the brake, and the steam car started to move forward again, rumbling into Chang'an City.

Because there were more people in Chang'an City, Su Cheng also slowed down.

Such a behemoth that had never been seen before suddenly appeared on the streets of Chang'an City, and countless passers-by were stunned.

I don't know how many people appeared on both sides of the street, looking at them in shock, pointing at the steam car, and talking about it.

Seeing the people on the street were all stunned, and listening to their arguments, Yuchi Baolin and Li Chongyi were so excited that they kept waving and shouting.

"It's called a steam car, it can run without pulling or pushing!"

"This steam car is an artifact that Rong Guogong and we painstakingly developed day and night. It is the only one in history!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look, there is no need to pull or push, the fast steam car that can run just by burning the fire is coming!"

Along the way, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and the others were yelling and yelling, but Su Cheng was very quiet.

Su Cheng, who was sitting in the car, concentrated on driving, because there were people on both sides of the road, and some people stood in the middle of the road with a dull expression, which made them stupid.

As soon as Su Cheng entered Chang'an with a steam car, it caused a huge sensation.

In the imperial palace, Li Shimin has left the Lizheng Hall and returned to the Liangyi Hall, but he has no intention of dealing with political affairs, but frowns and ponders, how can a car move forward without pulling or pushing?
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin still had no clue, so he could only ask Su Cheng what was going on.

A servant came in to report: "Your Majesty, a guard came back and reported that Duke Rong had already built a steam car, and now he is coming to see him in a steam car. According to the guard, the steam car made by Duke Rong has a strange shape. , but it does move forward without pulling or pushing.”

Li Shimin stood up immediately after hearing this, and said in surprise: "What? It was actually made? It really can walk without pulling or pushing! There is such a magical car in this world!"

As for the weird shape, Li Shimin didn't think there was anything. The steam car made by Su Cheng was so magical that it was normal to have a weird shape.

Li Shimin immediately stood up and strode out of the hall. He was very curious about this kind of car that he had never heard of, just like a thousand cats scratching his paws. He had to see it quickly.

In the Lizheng Palace, Xiao Xier had already woken up. Empress Changsun and Princess Changle were teasing the children with rattles when a servant came in.

"I want to report to the empress, a guard reported that Rong Guogong had already built a car and was driving to see him. His Majesty has left the Hall of Liangyi after hearing about it." The inner servant reported.

Because Empress Changsun was also very curious about the cart that Su Cheng wanted to build without pulling or pushing, she specially sent her servants to the Hall of Liangyi to wait for Su Cheng to come to see him. Unexpectedly, she didn't wait for Su Cheng to build the cart. news.

"It was actually made!" Empress Changsun exclaimed.

Princess Changle said with a smile: "Lang Jun said last night that the parts are almost finished. Let's try to assemble it today. I didn't expect it to be successful in one go."

Empress Changsun laughed and said, "Leave Xiao Xi'er here for the wet nurse to watch, and we'll go and see why the car Su Cheng built can run without pulling or pushing!"

Princess Changle nodded happily. Although she had already seen the design drawings, she didn't know what it would look like. Is it really as ugly as Su Cheng's drawing?Why can it run?

After instructing the nanny and maid to take good care of the child, Empress Changsun and Princess Changle left the Lizheng Hall together, and some maids had already prepared their shoulders.
