Li Huan gripped the handlebars tightly with both hands and sped off.
The trees and houses along the road flashed by.
Sun Shangxiang was extremely excited: "This carriage doesn't need horses, yet it's so fast!"
Li Huan honked his horn to warn pedestrians on the road.
Sun Shangxiang was even more surprised: "Incredible! It can even sound a horn!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "It's not a battle horn, but a loudspeaker, reminding people to make way."
Sun Shangxiang carefully examined the rearview mirror: "These two small mirrors are incredibly clear. I don't need to turn around to see what's behind me!"
Li Huan said, "Tying two bronze mirrors to a carriage or chariot can achieve the same effect."
Sun Shangxiang nodded: "Great idea! Why didn't I think of that before?"
Li Huan continued speeding, reaching a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but stand up, her beautiful hair fluttering, experiencing the feeling of speed.
"Hold on tight!" Li Huan quickly stopped them. "The road is uneven; be careful not to get jolted off the bus!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the wheel rolled over the ditch, and the car lurched violently!
Before Sun Shangxiang could grab the handrail, she instinctively grabbed Li Huan's arm.
Upon closer inspection, Li Huan caught a faint fragrance, which vanished instantly in the wind.
"That was close!" Sun Shangxiang laughed, releasing Li Huan's arm.
Li Huan composed himself: "Miss Sun is a precious person; I can't afford to take responsibility if she falls off the car."
Sun Shangxiang said, "Don't think of me as so delicate. I have fallen off my horse many times and never been hurt."
Li Huan deliberately asked, "Who is Xiao Qiao?"
Sun Shangxiang said, "Sister Xiao Qiao is the wife of Governor Zhou. I have a very good relationship with her, like sisters."
Li Huan then asked, "You sent lunchboxes to Xiao Qiao, so she must like good food."
Sun Shangxiang said, "Sister Xiao Qiao is skillful and clever. She not only loves food, but also has superb cooking skills."
Li Huan asked with a smile, "How do my cooking skills compare to Xiao Qiao's?"
Without hesitation, Sun Shangxiang replied, "Your cooking skills surpass those of Sister Xiao Qiao. After tasting the boxed lunch, she will definitely ask you for advice."
Li Huan was overjoyed; this was exactly what I wanted!
After driving for a while longer, Li Huan arrived at the gate of the Zhou residence.
Sun Shangxiang, still wanting more, reluctantly jumped off the carriage and pounded on the carriage, making a heavy metallic sound.
"This vehicle is extremely fast and has a sturdy body. If it were modified into a war chariot, it would be invincible!"
Li Huan said with a smile, "The idea is good, but this kind of car is expensive to manufacture and must be purchased from overseas."
"What a pity, what a pity..." Sun Shangxiang sighed.
Li Huan feigned politeness: "Miss Sun, I will wait at the door and will not disturb you and Mrs. Zhou."
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly said, "Come with me into the manor; Sister Xiao Qiao will definitely want to see you."
Li Huan pulled out the car keys and followed Sun Shangxiang through the gate.
The three female guards, who were sitting in the corridor, immediately stood up.
"Reporting to Miss! Madam Zhou is not in the manor!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huan was immediately disappointed.
No wonder Xiao Qiao didn't show up when I was selling boxed lunches; she wasn't home.
Sun Shangxiang asked, "Where did Sister Xiao Qiao go?"
The female guard replied, "Madam Zhou is going to the military camp to deliver duck soup to Commander Zhou. She will return tomorrow evening."
Helpless, Sun Shangxiang had no choice but to call her servants, borrow a thousand coins, and give them to Li Huan.
Li Huan said, "The leftover boxed meals can't be kept overnight. Don't leave them for Xiao Qiao. Take them home and invite General Sun to try them."
Sun Shangxiang said with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder."
Li Huan clasped his hands in farewell: "Farewell!"
Sun Shangxiang remembered something and hurriedly called out, "Wait!"
Li Huan turned around: "Is there anything else?"
Sun Shangxiang asked, "Where can I buy those two small mirrors in your carriage that reflect light so clearly?"
Li Huanle laughed: "Haha, you really want to be tied to the carriage?"
Sun Shangxiang said, "If it is tied to the chariot, it will be easier to observe the enemy's situation in the rear."
She truly deserves to be called a heroine among women, always thinking about war.
Li Huan walked out the door, lifted the seat of the electric tricycle, opened the toolbox inside, and took out a spare rearview mirror.
Sun Shangxiang asked with delight, "How many coins?"
Li Huan said, "It's free, you can have it."
Sun Shangxiang was stunned, thinking she had misheard: "Give...give it to me?"
Li Huan said, "I only sell boxed lunches, not mirrors, so why can't I give them to you?"
Sun Shangxiang looked grateful and took the rearview mirror.
Li Huan looked directly into Sun Shangxiang's eyes: "As the saying goes, a fine sword is given to a hero, and rouge to a beauty! I have no rouge or powder, so I will give this mirror to you as a gift."
Instantly, Sun Shangxiang's face flushed red, and she subconsciously avoided Li Huan's gaze.
The three female guards behind him covered their mouths and chuckled.
Li Huan turned around, got into the car, turned the key, and drove away with a flourish.
Sun Shangxiang watched Li Huan disappear around the street corner, then unconsciously picked up the rearview mirror and looked at his face.
"Miss, your face is so rosy, you look so beautiful!"
A female guard deliberately teased Sun Shangxiang.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Sun Shangxiang's heart pounded...
Li Huan drove his electric tricycle around the city.
He then found the most luxurious inn and chose a superior room.
Earning an extra hundred taels of gold from Cao Cao is a waste of money.
Li Huan instructed the restaurant to prepare an extremely lavish feast, which he then savored.
This leads to the conclusion that the culinary standards of the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms periods were indeed inferior to those of modern society.
the next day.
At noon, it was drizzling.
A large crowd waited by the roadside, a dense mass of people.
However, Li Huan and his electric tricycle were nowhere to be seen.
Sun Shangxiang, accompanied by two female guards, was also among the crowd, eagerly waiting.
