The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Joliffe and his companions were instantly stunned, their mouths agape and their eyes wide as they stared intently at the helicopter, as if they had been frozen in place.

The county magistrate and several other officials who followed them into the garden reacted even more dramatically. Their eyes widened like copper bells, their mouths gaped open enough to fit a fist, and they even held their breath.

After a long while, Magistrate Shen finally came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling and distorted. He pointed directly at the helicopter and stammered, "You...you all look! That big thing parked there looks...it looks like the Big Iron Bird!"

Magistrate Du was trembling with excitement. "Yes, yes, yes! That must be... the giant iron bird that His Highness Prince Jing sent us to see!"

An older official paused for a long time before stammering, "I've never seen such a behemoth before. This... this was made by our Western Chu Kingdom?"

Jolief and the others were all stunned by the plane, staring at it with wide eyes.

After a long while, he seemed to come to his senses. Jolie pointed at the helicopter and started talking to the people around him, his tone full of barely concealed fear and excitement.

After listening to a few words, Ouyang Yunyao knew that they were just excitedly exclaiming, so she simply didn't translate and let the group of people gather together, shouting excitedly at each other.

After a while of shouting, Joliv seemed to remember something and rushed to the plane. He looked at the huge, gleaming machine in front of him and carefully ran his hand over the fuselage and belly.

He gasped in surprise as his fingertips touched the cold, hard metal casing.

Several officials from the county government, including Magistrate Du, couldn't contain their curiosity and gathered around to touch this rare object they had never seen before.

As they touched it, they couldn't help but excitedly discuss, "Our Western Chu Kingdom is so powerful! They can create such a huge iron bird!"

"So, this means our Western Chu Kingdom will be able to transport grain much faster from now on," the old official said happily.

……

After lunch, in the main hall of the Huaiyang County Government Office.

Magistrate Du, Assistant Magistrate Shen, and a group of county officials remained in the main hall, surrounding Magistrate Du. They were still excitedly discussing the giant iron bird, their faces showing no signs of waning excitement, feeling even happier than during the New Year.

Magistrate Du paced back and forth in the main hall, excitedly muttering, "I really didn't expect... I really didn't expect that His Highness Prince Jing would actually allow us to climb that big iron bird and take a look!"

The older official, stroking his beard, said excitedly, "In my fifty-plus years of life, I have never seen such a huge and strange iron bird!"

“Yes! Yes! I heard from His Highness Prince Jing that they will set off tomorrow morning. Magistrate Du, we will definitely be there early tomorrow morning to see how this big iron bird flies into the sky!” County Magistrate Shen stepped forward, his eyes shining with eagerness.

The old official rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining, "Yes, yes, yes, we must take a good look tomorrow at how such a huge iron bird flies into the sky."

"Needless to say!" Magistrate Du turned to look at the group of officials. "Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the back garden and wait there. We absolutely cannot miss the giant iron bird taking off!"

All the officials present were very excited and looked forward to tomorrow arriving soon.

Among the officials present, two looked annoyed and kept sighing. They had arrived late this morning, and although they had later gone to the back garden to take a look at the large iron bird and even touched it, they hadn't had a chance to climb up and examine it.

"Alas, it's all my fault. Why did I arrive a step too late and miss such a great opportunity!" one of them said, rubbing his thigh.

The other man looked at Magistrate Du with a hint of anticipation and asked, "Magistrate Du, I wonder if there will be an opportunity tomorrow for me to also board the giant iron bird and take a look?"

……

At this moment, next to the airplane in the back garden.

After lunch, Joliv and his men got busy. They had to move all the goods from the wagons into the cargo hold of the airplane.

Charles was directing his guards to drive the carriages to the side of the plane, bring them to a steady stop at the cargo hold, and then methodically unload the cargo from the carriages and neatly stack it inside the hold.

Joliffe and Brian stood to the side, their eyes glued to the plane, occasionally reaching out to touch the cold fuselage, their faces full of excitement and amazement.

They looked at the enormous cargo hold and were filled with excitement once again.

Brian pointed to the large cargo hold and said excitedly, "Cousin, look at this huge space! How much cargo can it hold!"

Joliv also exclaimed, "Yes! If it's really true, as His Highness Prince Jing said, that this giant iron bird can fly very fast, then it would truly be a flying marvel!"

“Yes, cousin! You know, this big iron bird flies so fast and carries so much cargo. If only we had one of these big iron birds!” Brian exclaimed.

"Your Highness, if we had this giant iron bird, wouldn't it make our return to the continent of Loba much faster?" Henry asked, frowning.

“Now that you mention it, it’s possible, if this thing can fly across the ocean.” Joliff nodded, pondering the possibility.

"Your Highness! Is this...is this huge iron bird really made by the Western Chu Kingdom?" Standing next to Henry, Oria stared at the plane, asking without blinking.

Jolie nodded emphatically, "It must have been made by the Western Chu Kingdom!"

“Your Highness, why don’t we just buy one from them!” Oria said without hesitation.

“Do you think this giant iron bird is easy to build? Look at how much iron it takes! And the finish.” Brian chimed in, staring at him wide-eyed, then added, “Are you stupid? How much manpower and resources would it take to build such a behemoth? Would they sell it to us?”

“My lord, I was just thinking about it,” said Oria.

“It’s just like how difficult it is for our kingdom to build large ships,” Brian said, patting him on the shoulder.

Brian then turned to Jolif, his expression grave: "Cousin, when we return, we must speak earnestly to your father. We must establish good relations with the Western Chu Kingdom; this is an immense opportunity for us!"

“Cousin, you’re right! There are so many strange things in the Western Chu Kingdom. Their technology must be amazing,” Joliv replied.

On the other side of the plane, Chu Feng, Wei Lei, and others were standing guard, supervising the loading of their cargo. Watching the Luo Ba people sometimes exclaim in excitement, sometimes argue in hushed tones, the group exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with pride.

Ouyang Yunyao wasn't there, so she didn't know what they were saying. If she had heard it, she might have said, "Not bad, they do have some brains."
