"It sounds like it's about to fall apart. I was wondering before how these people could possibly make such a good car. If our Ye Kingdom's craftsmen had this skill, why would we have been looked down upon by other countries for so many years?"
As they talked, they realized that this was a case of harming the enemy a thousand while hurting themselves eight hundred.
They look down on those who manufacture cars and come to mock and watch the spectacle, but in reality, this brings them no benefit whatsoever; it's purely a self-defeating mentality.
Back then, I was angered by the car makers' smugness, as if they had created something extraordinary. My jealousy and envy led to this scene of blocking their way.
But upon closer reflection, they failed, and so did we.
It's pointless.
This is so boring.
"Alright, alright, let's all go home."
"Yeah, we've wasted our whole morning. Sigh, let's go."
A barrage of ridicule rained down on the car makers, their faces turning ashen and their fists clenched, yet they were powerless to refute it.
Even after everyone else had had enough of the joke and left on their own, the car makers remained rooted to the spot like stiff stones.
Since Zheng Quchi didn't call for a stop, the charioteer didn't know whether he should stop or not, so they continued for a while.
Zheng Quchi was completely absorbed, oblivious to others' opinions and the mocking voices around her. She watched intently as the horse-drawn carriage moved back and forth in the open space. The misalignment between the front and rear wheels caused a delayed swaying with each turn, while the carriage remained stable on straight sections. However, the reason for the strange noises was...
"That's enough, stop now."
Zheng Quchi called out to stop the carriage.
The charioteer jumped down and walked up to her: "Why is this happening?"
His experience in the car was the most vivid. Sometimes it felt like paddling a boat, very smooth, but other times the car would jolt as if it were stuck, and it was very difficult to get it moving smoothly.
The others seemed to have finally been awakened, and they all chimed in, "That's right! We had everything done perfectly according to the design drawings, so how did it all turn out like this after we ran away?"
"Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong, tell me what's going on here? Who exactly made these design drawings?"
If they have no problems, then the problem must lie in the car design. Everything starts from scratch, and if they start off on the wrong path, then failure is inevitable.
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong were also very emotional, but as the organizers, they couldn't be more flustered than the craftsmen. They had to keep the situation under control, or things would fall apart.
"I...we don't know either, but...um, wait a moment, let's go ask around."
Someone grabbed the two men and demanded, "Who are you asking?"
"this……"
They were taken aback. If they were to ask Aqing now, wouldn't that expose Aqing?
Seeing how impulsively these people are questioning him, they are worried that a conflict might break out and harm Ah Qing.
Shi and Tong said, “Calm down first. Since this is the first time the carriage has been on the road, there will definitely be problems. As long as we find out the details, we can deal with them accordingly. We don’t need to get so agitated.”
"Not agitated? You make it sound so easy. We've been working day and night for nothing, just to come here and play with you two? I believe you if you say there's a problem, but who among us can fix these issues with the car? Can you? You say you're not agitated? Then give us an explanation and find the person who designed this car!"
They had long suspected that Mu Gaoyi and his group couldn't possibly have done this; there must be someone behind them. They were willing to play dumb with these two before, but now that the problem had escalated, they wouldn't allow them to continue pretending to be crazy and getting away with it.
Seeing that things were out of control, Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong couldn't help but turn their pleading eyes to Zheng Quchi.
Hopefully, she has some good ideas to help them.
However, they never expected that Zheng Quchi's solution was: "All the design drawings you have were drawn by me."
She immediately delivered a thunderous blow, a devastating blow that shook the heavens and shattered the earth with her golden hammer.
"Aqing, what are you saying?"
They turned their heads sharply and stared at Zheng Quchi in astonishment.
“Every step, every part, every piece of wood in there was designed by me. Otherwise, why do you think I would be so familiar with it?”
Her words were so reasonable that no one could refute them for a moment.
question?
absurd?
anger?
disappointment?
shock?
Too many emotions surged up and choked them, making it hard to even breathe, let alone speak.
Not far away, Runtu and Fu Rong also arrived, keeping a close eye on the situation.
To be honest, when they first heard the rumors, they were also filled with anticipation and curiosity, but in the end, they felt the same as everyone else – somewhat disappointed.
Simply building a wheeled car that can move doesn't make them consider it a success.
The seven kingdoms have no shortage of carriages, and these carriages, which are not competitive at all, can't compete with carriages from other countries. Even if they are taken out to sell, people will only choose carriages made in the Northern Abyss or the Southern Array Kingdom.
But Zheng Quchi was, after all, the general's wife. They didn't leave because they were afraid that things might change. They were keeping an eye on the situation, and if these craftsmen acted unreasonably and hurt people, they would step forward to protect her immediately.
Strangely, despite their irrational state, they remained completely silent after Zheng Quchi finished speaking.
