It was nearing dusk.

Li Huan got into the car and had Hua Tuo sit next to him.

Zhuge Liang sat inside the carriage.

Li Huan drove his car and soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence.

The two guards responsible for escorting him were waiting for Zhuge Liang.

Upon seeing Li Huan and Hua Tuo, the guards immediately became alert.

"Without the Prime Minister's order, Li Huan and Hua Tuo are not allowed to leave the mansion even a step!"

Without saying a word, Li Huan suddenly twisted the switch and darted out.

The two guards were shocked and hurriedly shouted.

The six guards at the gate quickly drew their swords, attempting to stop them.

Bang!

The electric tricycle shoved aside a guard and sped down the steps.

Clang! Zhuge Liang was nearly thrown out of the carriage by the jolting, gripping the railings tightly with both hands.

Li Huan continued to accelerate, instantly covering more than fifty meters.

"Li Huan has escaped! Li Huan has escaped!"

"Quickly report to the Prime Minister!"

"Chase them! Chase them..."

As Li Huan drove, he asked Hua Tuo, "Do you know the way to the city gate?"

Hua Tuo pointed and said, "Turn left ahead and head south!"

Li Huan continued to accelerate, increasing his speed to 60 kilometers per hour.

The wind whistled past their ears, and Hua Tuo and Zhuge Liang were both nervous and excited.

Soon, they arrived at the city gate.

Li Huan remained calm, slowed down, and came to a stop.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at the electric tricycle with curiosity.

Hua Tuo stood up and said loudly, "I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to go out of the city to gather medicinal herbs!"

The city gate captain recognized Hua Tuo and believed him to be true, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to open the city gate.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.

Li Huan turned around and saw a troop of cavalry chasing after him menacingly.

"We must not let Li Huan escape!"

"Capture Li Huan! Capture Hua Tuo!"

Before the soldiers guarding the city could react, Li Huan drove his car out of the city gate.

The cavalry pursued closely, keeping a distance of about 100 meters.

At the same time, they began firing arrows.

Zhuge Liang and Hua Tuo had already struggled to lift the lid of the bronze cauldron to deflect the incoming arrows.

The electric tricycle reached a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, gradually leaving its pursuers far behind.

Zhuge Liang put down the pot lid and laughed heartily.

"Huan Di! You're out of danger!"

Li Huan dared not let his guard down and maintained a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Hua Tuo exclaimed in admiration, "This chariot doesn't need horses; it's truly amazing!"

Li Huan looked straight ahead and asked, "You're planning to perform craniotomy on Cao Cao to remove the phlegm. How confident are you in the outcome?"

Hua Tuo replied, "To be honest, my benefactor, I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever."

Li Huan asked in surprise, "If you're not confident, why do it?"

Hua Tuo sighed and explained the reason.

“When Cao Cao had a headache, I used acupuncture to relieve it. Cao Cao then kept me in the Prime Minister’s residence, and only allowed me to go out to buy medicine and not leave Xuchang.”

"Several months later, I was so homesick that I had no choice but to lie to Cao Cao that I could open his skull to remove the phlegm and completely cure my headache."

"I thought Cao Cao would be afraid of craniotomy and would let me go home, but Cao Cao became suspicious and believed that I was trying to murder him, so he angrily imprisoned me..."

Li Huan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Master Hua Tuo, your cleverness has backfired!"

Hua Tuo smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for your help, my benefactors, I would have surely died at Cao Cao's hands! I was so busy eating my boxed lunch that I forgot to ask you two benefactors your honorable names?"

Li Huan said, "My surname is Li and my given name is Huan. This gentleman's surname is Zhuge and his given name is Liang, with the courtesy name Kongming."

Hua Tuo exclaimed with delight: "Master Zhuge Liang from Longzhong in Nanyang!"

Zhuge Liang humbly replied, "It is indeed I."

Hua Tuo said, "I have long admired the name of Master Zhuge Liang! May I ask why you are setting up a food stall in Xuchang?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I'm accompanying my brother Huan to Xuchang to earn Cao Cao's gold."

Clang!

The vehicle shook violently, and Hua Tuo nearly fell off.

Clearly, the wheel had run over a ditch.

Li Huan reminded him, "Mr. Hua Tuo, hold on tight to the handrail!"

It was already dark.

Li Huan turned on the car lights, casting a dazzling beam that illuminated the road.

Hua Tuo and Zhuge Liang were amazed when they saw it.

"What kind of lamp is this, so ingeniously crafted?"

"It can illuminate a hundred meters ahead, incredible!"

Li Huan explained, "This is the headlight of an electric vehicle, which uses the power of the battery to emit light."

Zhuge Liang said, "I originally thought it was just for decoration. Besides the main headlight, what purpose do the other small lights serve?"

Li Huan said, "When the car turns, the turn signal will come on, and when the car comes to a stop, the brake light will come on."

Hua Tuo was completely dumbfounded, as if listening to a divine revelation.

Zhuge Liang asked, "I wonder if this chariot can travel on water?"

Li Huan smiled and said, "Not for now, but we will improve and upgrade its functionality in the future."

He believes that the system's later rewards will definitely continue to upgrade the electric tricycles.

Clang, clang...

The road conditions worsened, forcing Li Huan to slow down.

Even so, Cao Cao's pursuers were still unable to catch up, as the horses had been running for too long and were beginning to tire.

Two hours later.

Li Huan turned onto a small road and drove into the valley.

Hua Tuo hurriedly asked, "Why have we come to this place?"

Li Huan said, "The pursuers don't know we're heading to Xinye, so there's no need to travel through the night. Let's rest here for now and continue our journey early tomorrow morning!"

Once they reached the depths of the valley and found a safe spot, Li Huan stopped the car.

He took out his phone, saw that it was fully charged, and turned on the flashlight.

Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "What is this?"

Li Huan was too lazy to explain in detail, so he casually said, "Lighting fixtures."

He instructed Zhuge Liang to gather some dry branches and pile them together.
