Chapter 336 Marrying me is unfair to her
Lao Hei nodded and carried the coal down to the cabin.
Going to the boiler, he fanned the charcoal fire and threw in some chopped wood, and the flames quickly started.
Then Lao Hei took out the coal, crushed it and put it in a basket.
Su Nuan asked, "Isn't it okay to burn the whole thing?"
Lao Hei shook his head. "It's easier to burn if it's smashed, and it releases heat faster."
Su Nuan touched her nose, "Oh..."
The word steam engine was included in the new knowledge, but the principle of the steam engine was not explained, so Su Nuan decided not to ask so as not to expose her lack of education.
Lao Hei shoveled coal into the boiler, waited for a while and said, "Master is right, coal is the best fuel."
Su Nuan tilted her neck to look up at the boiler. There was a popping sound coming from above, which then slowed down and then became faster. It felt like something was going to explode.
Not long after, Lao Hei opened the boiler lid and shoveled out half of the coal inside with a shovel.
"This thing is a wreck! The master made it and it's a defective product. It can't withstand the heat of the coal."
Su Nuan intuitively felt that the popping sound coming from her ears began to slow down. It turned out that the bigger the fire, the faster the steam came out.
Lao Hei shouted: "Raise the anchor and sail."
The sailor above immediately responded, "Yes!"
As the ship started moving, Su Nuan went to the deck to direct the direction.
Soon, Su Nuan discovered one thing: the boat was moving very fast and she could feel the wind blowing on her cheeks, which was uncomfortable.
When the two ships met, the pirate ship was much faster with the steamship towing it.
Su Nuan placed Su Xia in the fishing village and before leaving, she said, "Kill those who need to be killed, and don't leave any trouble behind."
Su Xia chuckled, "Although I didn't marry him, he proclaimed everywhere that I was his wife, so I have to go back and inherit his inheritance."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Okay, you can do whatever you want. I want to take them to the North."
After a pause, he continued, "You train Cui'er. When I return to the North, I'll have Feixue show it the way. When the time comes, have Cui'er tell me what you want to say."
Su Xia's eyes sparkled. "That's right. Cui'er can convey my message. It's more convenient than sending messages by pigeon."
Su Nuan nodded, "Then I'll go first."
Su Xia waved goodbye and said, "Take care!"
Since flying is unavailable at night, Su Nuan can only take a boat.
It was already daybreak when we reached the north.
Wu Long looked at the developing Northland and said with a sigh, "How long will it take to build such a big city?"
"There's a rocky mountain over there, which looks like a cliff. There should be a large plain behind it."
Su Nuan was a little surprised. After thinking about it, she realized that Wu Long was a man with something going on, so it was normal for him to guess the terrain.
"There's a plain behind, what's wrong?"
Wu Long immediately said proudly: "I'll give you an idea. You give me a thousand kilograms of coal."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "No, thank you."
This guy wants to take his coal for free. He's dreaming.
Wu Long felt a little frustrated. Finally, he stamped his foot and said, "Forget it. I'll tell you for free. If the cliff is not very thick, you can break through it and build a city behind it."
"This kind of trap can confuse the enemy and make your inner city very safe."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's how it is, so I don't need your advice."
Wu Long looked at Su Nuan, then shook his head, "You can't say that the ancients were all stupid. After all, they created many exquisite things."
Su Nuan glanced sideways. He was talking to himself a little too loudly.
"I'm going to rest now. You will have someone to entertain you."
Su Nuan had been busy for two days and needed a good sleep. After getting off the boat, she left him to Ling Cang and went back to sleep.
Wu Long and Ling Cang looked at each other.
In the end, it was Ling Cang who spoke first, "Mr. Wu, the room is ready. Do you want to rest?"
Wu Long shook his head. "I slept very well last night, unlike her who couldn't sleep at all."
Ling Cang pursed his lips, his words sounded somewhat ambiguous.
Wu Long hadn't noticed this yet. He said excitedly, "There are horses. Let me ride them. I want to see how you build the city."
Ling Cang said calmly, "Our horses can work and carry their masters, but strangers are not allowed to approach."
Wu Long was still not convinced. He straightened his clothes that he had changed into on the boat and walked in front of the horse in a casual manner.
"Brother Ma, let me ride you once, and I'll give you something delicious to eat."
The horse snorted fiercely and turned away.
Seeing Ma'er's eyes full of pride, Wu Long knew he couldn't handle it, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
"Brother Donkey, let me ride for a while, and I'll give you something delicious."
Although the donkey was also raised by Su Nuan, it was more cunning than the horse, so it obediently turned sideways.
Wu Long immediately mounted his horse and turned around to say, "You guys wait on the boat first. I'm going to go around the city."
But the next thing he knew was that something was wrong. The donkey let him ride it, but it refused to move.
Ling Cang smiled and said, "The animals we raise here are very smart. If you don't give it food, it won't leave."
Wu Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned around and shouted, "Bring me the pancakes."
Lao Hei threw a round cake as big as the mouth of a jar from the boat. Wu Long raised his hand to catch it and then handed it to the donkey's mouth.
"Try it, this is a fried cake I made with roasted soybeans."
The donkey took a bite and found it tasted good, then began to move its limbs.
Wu Long sighed, "These beasts are the kind who won't release their hawks until they see the mouse."
Ling Cang rode beside him and asked, "Is this bean cake squeezed from soybeans?"
Wu Long nodded. "Yes, you don't have any vegetable oil yet, right? If I teach you how to build an oil mill, can you give me some more coal?"
Ling Cang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Wu Long's target was coal.
He said calmly, "My wife is in charge of the coal, just talk to her."
Wu Long finally realized, "Are you Su Nuan's man?"
Ling Cang cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."
Wu Long looked at Ling Cang and then turned back to look at Ling Yun who was following behind him. His eyes became strange.
Ling Cang saw that his face was flushed, but he didn't say a word, so he asked, "Why? Do you think I'm not worthy?"
Wu Long quickly shook his hands, "No, no, no... I thought Su Nuan was his wife."
As he said that, he turned around and looked at Ling Yun again.
The calmness on Ling Cang's face cracked. It was fine if the locals thought that he and Su Nuan were not a good match, but outsiders actually felt the same way.
He just felt his heart was blocked, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort spread throughout his body.
When Wu Long saw Ling Cang's unhappy expression, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. People in ancient times would not be able to make such jokes.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I think your wife looks like a little fox, and that guy also looks like a fox..."
"Pah... I didn't mean Su Nuan was a fox..."
Wu Long found that under Ling Cang's fierce gaze, his tongue began to tremble. What he thought in his head was completely different from what his tongue said, just like they had split up and were living their own lives.
Ling Cang turned his face away, looked ahead and said, "I know, marrying me is unfair to her."
Wu Long wanted to cry. He felt a tremendous amount of pressure from Ling Cang. Who could tell him how to comfort him? Waiting online, urgent!
