Lin Bei took a look at the craftsman, and found that he was made of wood. This simple and honest craftsman had a serious face, which gave people a sense of conviction.

Seeing someone taking the lead, the rest of the craftsmen also said: "My lord, I dare to assure you that if there is good iron, the steam carriage can be built tomorrow at the most."

"Yes, I'm almost done, the only thing missing is the boiler."

"It's all the fault of those blacksmiths for delaying our work."

Mu Mu picked up an object from the side to stop the noise of the craftsmen, and waved it in front of Lin Bei, "My lord, just look at this object, and you will know that what I said is true."

This time, Mu Mu didn't take a carriage, but two miniature wheels. Behind the wheels, there were some parts and some leather pipes. Mu Mu said in a deep voice, "Look, my lord..."

After that, Wood moved his mouth to the leather tube: "This is the entrance of the steam, let me blow..." He bit the leather tube, and Wood puffed his cheeks and blew inward. With this blow, the wheels moved , and then the wood stopped blowing, and said in an affirmative tone: "Master, this is the steam receiving device that we have recently made. We have each made one, and none of them failed. Boiler, this steam carriage will be finished."

Looking at Mu Mu's honest face, Lin Bei believed that everything was ready for the steam carriage now, except for the steel.

Chapter 221 Cui Lan Falls into the Sea

The sun is unusually violent.

"My lord, in this weather, common people don't have the mind to work at all."

This is a gazebo in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. The gazebo is under a tree, covered by the shade of the tree. Bian Ji is walking around. He is only wearing unlined clothing, but beads of sweat still roll down his face from time to time.

"Not only the common people, but even I don't have the heart to move." Lin Bei was also outside the shade, he spread his body and didn't want to move. The instinct of snakes made Lin Bei hate this kind of weather, and he couldn't move like this. Like a human being, he took a beautiful nap, and Lin Bei couldn't sleep even if he wanted to sleep at noon.

At this time, the red jellyfish had completely left the pond. The little green snake was half on the lotus leaf and half in the water. Even the three turtles didn't want to bask in the sun anymore, and hid in the shade to sleep.

"Why is the weather in Nanjun so hot today?" Bian Ji couldn't figure it out, and felt a fever in his heart.

"Because this is a tropical climate." Lin Bei said lazily, "That's why I asked everyone to plant trees in the city, so that the common people can have a shade."

"It doesn't look like it's going to do much, and the students are all overheated here."

"Better than nothing."

Bian Ji could only nod his head, and suddenly asked: "In this weather, will those natives make trouble?"

Lin Bei cheered up: "Probably not, right? But maybe, come, come and take a look quickly, and tell the sergeants to let the natives rest for a while, don't let them work for now, wait until the sun shines." Let's talk in the past."

The sergeant went under the scorching sun.

This was already the fourth day Zhen Ping had left Wanghai City. It was mid-July. The reason why Lin Bei didn't go to Linjiang City was because the fighting had stopped for the time being and he was waiting for the first batch of iron ore mines.

At first, Lin Bei planned to attack the Wabo tribe as soon as the ship was built, but there was a shortage of iron in the city.The bottom of the boat can't be covered with iron sheets, so this kind of boat can't do it, so they simply rest and recuperate, first build the surrounding areas of the two cities, continue paving roads, and continue cultivating farmland.The drying salt continues, too.

Bian Ji and Lin Bei talked about farming again. Bian Ji said that in this kind of weather, the rice grows very fast, and it is really possible to realize the two harvests a year that Lin Bei said.

"My lord, my lord..."

A sergeant rushed into the backyard in a hurry.

Hearing the voice was urgent, Lin Bei and Bian Ji looked at each other, and thought to themselves, could it be that those aborigines really caused trouble?If there is trouble, then kill a few to deter them.

The sergeant ran in a hurry, sweating all over his face.He fell to his knees and said, "My lord, the fleet led by Chief Wei has returned and just landed."

"Oh?" Lin Bei was overjoyed at once. It turned out that Cui Lan had come back, but seeing that the sergeant's face was not happy, but rather sad, Lin Bei's heart sank, "What happened to Chief Wei and the others?"

The sergeant choked with sobs and said, "My lord, five of the fifteen mid-wing ships have returned, and the chief guard...the chief guard is not in the ship."

Lin Bei's body suddenly went numb.After being stunned for a long time, he said in a nasty voice, "Is what you said true?"

The sergeant could only kowtow and dare not speak again.

"My lord, let's go to the pier first and understand the situation before we speak. Cui Lan is not the kind of person who is destined to die."

Lin Bei woke up suddenly: "Let's go."

Go out of the city lord's mansion first.Lin Bei didn't care about Bian Ji at all, and ran towards the pier, under the scorching sun, Lin Bei's body was icy cold.

Arriving at the pier, Lin Beiyou looked around.Sure enough, only five mid-wing ships were seen, and the sergeants had already got off the ship. When they saw Lin Bei, they all knelt down on the ground, and a captain said sadly: "My lord, we are incompetent. The vortex sank."

Lin Bei closed his eyes and opened them after a while: "Please tell me the details of what happened."

The captain was taken aback when he heard that Lin Bei was able to speak.

"Say it!!" Lin Beida shouted, like a bolt from the blue.

The captain finally came to his senses and told what happened.

Fifteen boats have been sailing along the coastline. It is said that there will be no accidents. In fact, there are no major accidents. Even if they encountered reefs a few times, they avoided them smoothly. Who knows...

"Half a month ago, I just passed through a sea area. Because there were many reefs on the shore, the boat couldn't go through it, so I went a little farther into the sea. Just after a while, several large whirlpools suddenly appeared in the sea, and the boat avoided it. And, I was immediately sucked into the vortex, and when I exited the vortex, only these five boats were left, and the rest of the ships were sucked into the sea by the vortex, and the captain's ship was unfortunately killed."

"You came back alone without taking care of the chief guard?" Lin Bei said in a serious tone.

The captain was horrified and kowtowed: "My lord, that's not the case. After the wind and waves calmed down, I patrolled the surrounding area for two days, trying to find the captain, but I couldn't find it, so I set off to return. My lord, we are not greedy for life or afraid of death, I just want to report this news to your lord."

Lin Bei took a breath, "When I first heard that Chief Wei died, I felt a little excited, but I mistakenly blamed you for waiting. When you return from the long voyage, take a good rest and talk about it tomorrow."

"My lord, what about the chief guard?"

"I have my own concerns about this matter, so you don't have to ask."

"Yes, my lord."

Bian Ji hurried over, covered in sweat, "My lord, how is Cui Lan?"

Lin Bei didn't speak, just looked at the five boats in silence.

Bian Ji suddenly understood: "My lord, please express my condolences."

Lin Bei opened his mouth, but found that his mouth was so astringent that he couldn't speak at all. He is now feeling deeply guilty. If he hadn't brought Cui Lan to this road, Cui Lan would not have died.

After a long while, Lin Bei said in a low voice: "Master, engrave Cui Lan's name on the Heroic Spirit Terrace, and let me remember it forever in Wanghai City."

"promise..."

"Where's the Cui family? Where are they now?"

"Cui Jie, the eldest son of the Cui family, is also in the army, and now there is only one old father left in the family."

"That's right, there are not many people in Cui Lan's family. Master, you should inform Cui Lan's father. Besides, let Cui Jie come to see me."

"Good sir, the weather is hot, sir, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first."

Lin Bei nodded, and slowly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
