Chapter 969: No more oil

Views:

Li Dan heard Li Hong's voice at the side entrance of Prince Pu's Mansion. He didn't know why, but he felt a little guilty. It seemed that he was the same one last time. He made Lao Wu and the ministers as well as himself disgraced because of driving that train. He ran back to the palace.

That time, not only did he offend Lao Wu, but Lao Qi and the court officials also treated him coldly, as if he was the only culprit.

But this time, it is obvious that he is the only culprit. He can make the current emperor lose all his face in Chang'an City twice in a row. I am afraid he is the only one, right

So Li Dan, who was standing at the door a little weak, motioned to his men to stay back and not let Lao Wu find out that he was eavesdropping. So he tiptoed forward, quietly stood at the door and peeked in and eavesdropped. .

Then I saw Li Hong standing on one side. The front of the extremely luxuriously decorated car had its hood lifted, and craftsmen were crawling on both sides, inspecting it carefully.

Bai Chun stood on the other side of Li Hong, curiously looking at the engine, or looking sideways at Li Hong, who was frowning.

"You don't have to worry. Since you can drive out, it means it's just broken and can be repaired." Bai Chun gently pulled Li Hong's sleeve and comforted softly.

"Is this a question of worry or not? This is a shameful question! Back then, the train ran back with a face full of soot, and now this car... has come back with a horse drawn horse. Isn't that embarrassing enough? It's spinning in circles. Chang'an City has given me such an old face!" Li Hong snorted coldly.

Just as he spoke, the craftsmen who had been working nearby became frightened. Even in Taiyi City, they had met His Majesty many times in order to develop this car, but at such a close distance, in front of him. This was their first time working in front of His Majesty, and it was also when His Majesty was in a bad mood.

So every craftsman, for some reason, has the idea of working with his head in his belt.

"But you can't blame King Yin entirely, can you? He was fine when he gave it to you, and you are so angry at King Yin..." Bai Chun said to Li Dan at the door.

"I don't blame him? Who do I blame if I don't blame him? I told him half a year ago that nothing bad will happen by then. Even if it is postponed later, there is no need to rush to get it to Chang'an. He Fortunately, he patted his chest and promised me that he would never do it again, and then... I even suspected that he was trying to trick me! He also wanted the trains in Chang'an to start running, so I gave up if he got angry! He dragged the train and started working as a horse for the people of Chang'an!" Li Hong said as he took the completely wiped carburetor from the hand of the craftsman and looked at it carefully. There was no problem, so he signaled the craftsman to install it and began to check the ignition coil and other places.

Bai Chun looked at Li Hong's serious and focused look, and didn't know why but wanted to laugh. At this time, His Majesty was indeed a little lost in toys. For such a big toy, he even handed over tomorrow's morning meeting to Li Ye. .

Especially when Bai Chun looked at Li Hong's expression that had softened slightly now, he recalled that he and he were riding in this car and happily walking on the busiest streets in Chang'an City.

Someone would pop up his head from time to time, or stop to say hello to the officials from the DPRK and China he met occasionally, intending to show off the car under his butt. While talking, he also made the car make a loud buzzing sound, and his face Her eyebrows were dancing with joy, not to mention how proud and vain she was.

It really echoes what he said when he first got in the car: "Don't be handsome for less than three seconds, and you will mess with me."

So, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, it was immediately effective. He heard that the car seemed to be almost out of breath. At the crossroads, it was as motionless as a dead horse.

"You still have the nerve to laugh?" Li Hong took the wet handkerchief handed over by the palace maid, wiped his hands, curled his lips and looked at Bai Chun who was holding back a smile and hummed.

"No... How dare I laugh at Your Majesty?" Bai Chunyue said, and the more he couldn't help but think about the wonderful expression on His Majesty's face after the car couldn't move.

With an awkward yet polite smile, Bai Chun understood for the first time the meaning of what His Majesty said. He truly understood how embarrassing and yet polite or graceful smiles were. People want to laugh.

Li Dan peeked quietly at the door and saw that Bai Chunxiao and Lao Wu were fine, so he thought that nothing would happen if he went in, right? So just when he was about to lift his legs and walk toward the door, he heard a craftsman lowering his head and suddenly ran to Li Hong and knelt down.

"What's going on?" Li Hong watched the craftsman kneel down, and immediately felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Even Li Dan, who was about to come in quietly at the door, quickly retracted his outgoing leg, and his right eyelid couldn't stop jumping.

"Your Majesty, this... I deserve death! Please forgive me!" The craftsman knelt on the ground. When other craftsmen saw this, they also hurriedly put down their work and knelt down one by one.

"You really guessed me, right?" Li Hong murmured, looking at the craftsmen who were kneeling in front of him. He ignored Bai Chun's curious and inquiring eyes, and suddenly said through gritted teeth: "Li Dan, you bastard, this kind of You can make mistakes, but I think you really don’t want to live a good life!”

"What's going on?" Seeing that Li Hong was only scolding Li Dan but ignoring him, Bai Chun asked the first craftsman who knelt down.

After all, she is still the person in charge of Taiyi City. Although Li Ye has been following her for several years, Bai Chun's influence in Taiyi City cannot be replaced by her in a short period of time.

"Miss, it's... it's... the car is out of gas, so it can't run!" the craftsman lowered his head and said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Bai Chun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't stop smiling in her heart. She hugged the angry Li Hong's arm, lowered her head and laughed non-stop. Her weak shoulders kept shaking, but she really couldn't Suppress the feeling in your heart that you want to laugh.

She remembered that Li Hong had told her when he first got in the car that the car drank kerosene and could run as long as it was filled with enough kerosene. But the problem now was what he said was the simplest kerosene, not any incurable disease. .

"Isn't there a fuel gauge? How come..." Li Hong patted Bai Chun's head, who was pulling his arm and laughing uncomfortably, then thought about it and said, "By the way, that idiot Li Dan told me it's okay. So I didn’t watch it…”

Li Hong turned his head, as if he was hallucinating before his eyes. He saw a head with gurgling eyes at the door, cautiously poking around. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Dan

"Just stand there and don't move, otherwise I'll make you walk around without food!" Li Hong opened the arms held by Bai Chun and pointed at Li Dan who was in a panic at the door and said.

"You were too anxious. I forgot to refuel when I was anxious. You can't blame me!" Li Dan screamed, turned around and ran away.

Li Hong broke away from Bai Chun's arm and chased him out in an instant, leaving only a group of inexplicable craftsmen standing next to the car that ran out of gas with Bai Chun, who had already cried tears of laughter.
