Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1355 625: Sea Eating Old Car_4

No wonder some words can only be said to Li Banfeng alone, she absolutely wouldn't leave the peddler at Three-Head Fork.

"Senior brother, you're really thoughtful, even bringing your wife!"

Upon hearing Li Banfeng call her 'wife', Lu Qianjiao's face turned red, slightly embarrassed, but she smiled sweetly.

Li Banfeng added: "Wife's so crazy, if she goes to Three-Head Fork, won't she mess things up?"

Lu Qianjiao took out a feather arrow from behind her, smiled and looked at Li Banfeng: "Who are you calling crazy?"

Li Banfeng scrutinized Lu Qianjiao's figure: "You know, wife has a nice physique, really suited for pulling a carriage."

Lu Qianjiao pulled out another feather arrow, looked at the peddler and asked: "You want me to pull a carriage?"

The peddler quickly explained: "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense, pulling a carriage isn't something for you."

Li Banfeng said: "If you don't pull the carriage, and I don't pull it, then isn't she the only one left?"

The peddler replied irritably: "I have helpers!"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "What helper is more suitable than wife? That carriage, ordinary people can't even move it, let alone pull it for twenty miles."

The peddler took an alarm clock from the cargo truck, checked the time: "I estimate he's arriving soon."

Half an hour later, the coachman braved the wind and snow, pulling an Ocean car, and entered Qingshui Gully.

The snow was very deep, but the coachman's steps remained steady.

The north wind was fierce, but the coachman's waist remained straight.

Everyone else pulling a carriage bends over, but he keeps so straight!

Seeing the peddler, Li Qi, and Lu Qianjiao, the coachman was not surprised at all, he knew all three of them.

Upon meeting, the coachman didn't exchange pleasantries, directly asking: "Where's the carriage?"

The peddler admired: "Look at him, that's a man of action!"

Li Banfeng led the group to Zha Jiang Mountain, coughed three times at the entrance of the cave, the rocks were suspended in air, and the group entered the cave.

The Sea Eating Old Car was placed in the cave, the coachman picked up the axle, moved it a couple of times, nodded and said: "The carriage is a good one, takes some effort to pull."

With both hands gripping the axle, he took a step forward, the carriage moved.

With just one step it moved!

Taking another ten steps forward, the carriage started running.

He extended a foot, stopped, and the carriage stopped with him!

Li Banfeng said in astonishment: "Mr. Driver, your carriage skills are impressive, you say go it goes, say stop it stops, let me try again."

The coachman waved his hand: "Brother, don't try, you can't pull this carriage, I taught you some basics in footwork before, but this isn't a carriage that can be handled with basic skills."

Lu Qianjiao snorted: "Speaking so highly, like there's something extraordinary about it."

The coachman laughed: "This skill is indeed extraordinary, even with decades, you wouldn't master it."

"Decades of time?" Lu Qianjiao was anxious, "Give me the carriage, I'll pull it now and show you all!"

The coachman stopped Lu Qianjiao from touching the carriage: "Don't mess around, this isn't an ordinary carriage, there are many rules inside, the road wheels can't leave the ground, don't damage it with your clumsy hands."

Lu Qianjiao was anxious: "Who are you calling clumsy?"

Li Banfeng paused for a long time: "Mr. Driver, how do you know the wheels can't leave the ground?"

The coachman touched the axle, then the carriage compartment: "The carriage told me."

"This carriage can talk?" Li Banfeng used Insightful Spirit Sound to listen for a long time, hearing nothing.

The coachman continued to touch the compartment, wiped his tears: "This carriage cries whenever it sees me, this lifetime we were destined for this encounter, sadly we met too late."

Lu Qianjiao felt a bit sentimental hearing this, she held the peddler's arm, softly said: "If it's fate you shouldn't miss it, we're not too late yet."

The peddler laughed: "We're not late, we're just on time, I say to the carriage puller, stop hugging that carriage and crying, I'll tell you the tactics first, you need to know what we're doing tonight."

The peddler explained the tactics thoroughly, the coachman wasn't too interested, he needed to confirm just one thing: "This job, just pulling a carriage, doesn't require me to fight?"

Lu Qianjiao said: "You speak like that, if there was an emergency, would you stand by and not take action..."

The peddler stepped forward and covered Lu Qianjiao's mouth, saying anything more, the coachman might turn around and leave.

"Brother, just pulling the carriage, no fighting!" The peddler gave a clear reply.

The coachman looked at his rickshaw: "I never part from this carriage, I sleep in the carriage, eat in the carriage, place it at the door when going to the toilet, put it by the river when bathing, but I can't pull two carriages at once, how do I settle this carriage?"

The peddler said: "Just place it inside the Sea Eating Old Car, bring it along."

The coachman shook his head and said, "That's not going to work. Once the Three-Headed People are on board, I'm afraid they'll mess with my car."

The peddler thought for a moment and said to Li Banfeng, "Put his carriage in this cave; the entrance isn't something just anyone can open."

The coachman still wasn't reassured: "What if Pan Dehai moves my car? He can definitely open this cave!"

The peddler frowned and said, "Then what do you suggest? Should I find someone to watch over it for you?"

After much deliberation, the coachman agreed to leave the car in the cave, but he was extremely reluctant as he left, embracing his rickshaw for a long time.

Lu Qianjiao looked at the peddler and said, "I'm convinced; he's more affectionate with that carriage than you are with your freight car!"

The peddler called Li Banfeng aside and said privately, "Everything is ready; we're making a move tonight. In business, willingness is key, and I never force others into anything,

These ten thousand people, it's up to you to rescue them, but you can't be forced to go because sometimes saving someone can end up harming them, but that's not your fault."

Li Banfeng was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

The peddler smiled and said, "What I mean is, if today's deal is successful, I have a grand gift for you, but if you don't want to go through with it, there's still time to back out now."

That didn't quite seem like what he implied earlier.

Li Banfeng felt a bit guilty: "Senior brother, I also need an assistant, let me discuss it with them."

"Is this assistant reliable?"

"More reliable than my wife!"

The peddler nodded and said, "Then go, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll return."

Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence and discussed the matter with his wife.

His wife was also a bit hesitant; after all, the peddler had been an old rival.

Li Banfeng didn't want to trouble his wife: "Beloved wife, tell me how to operate the Dark Bridge Cannon. Once I've fired the cannon and taken them across, you come out and pack up the Dark Bridge Cannon and wait for me at the boundary."

The phonograph shook its head: "Husband, that's not doable. Once you're in the Dark Bridge Cannon, Little Servant must control it; even a slight electromagnetic deviation and you might never come back."

In other words, while Li Banfeng is crossing the boundary with the peddler and others, the Dark Bridge Cannon needs to be manned the entire time.

"Beloved wife, if you use the phonograph's body to go out, can you manage the Dark Bridge Cannon?"

The phonograph looked at the needle: "Husband, that's probably not possible, there are many intricate tasks here that require fingers."

This means the phonograph must take on Zhao Xiaowan's form to control the Dark Bridge Cannon.

This also means the phonograph must meet the peddler, Lu Qianjiao, and the coachman.

Li Banfeng cautiously asked: "Wife, are past grudges all resolved?"

Before the phonograph could speak, Hong Ying interjected: "How could they be resolved? It was a life-and-death grudge. If I see that peddler now, I'll fight him to the death! Xiaowan, you absolutely cannot go!"

They were mortal enemies on the battlefield back then, and this grudge is indeed hard to resolve.

But if his wife doesn't control the Dark Bridge Cannon, this plan can't proceed at all.

As the family pondered without a solution, time quickly reached six o'clock and night was approaching.

The phonograph made a decision: "After that battle, I've been through much, and while I can't say I've erased old grudges, I've not gained new ones either.

Since it's the peddler's deal, he won't ruin his own reputation. Given his style, he shouldn't take this chance to seek revenge on me. Husband, Little Servant can go."

Hong Ying said: "Even if you can go, you shouldn't just head out like this. Old Man, at least give Xiaowan some battle power. If that peddler turns on us, Qi Lang can't handle it alone!"

The Portable Residence was silent for a long time before speaking: "Zhao Xiaowan, take all your battle power with you when you go."

The Portable Residence made an exception!

He allowed his wife to take her battle power, the full extent of it.

What's the reason behind this?

Hong Ying had been a mortal enemy with the peddler before, so it's understandable she doesn't trust him, but why doesn't the Portable Residence trust the peddler either?

His wife quickly expressed gratitude, and as she followed Li Banfeng out the door with her puppet body, her footsteps unsettled the Portable Residence: "This body isn't quite right..."

Hong Ying was also anxious: "That puppet struggles even to walk; it's a wonder if it'll manage!"

After much hesitation, the Portable Residence said: "Hong Ying, take all your battle power and go along with Zhao Xiaowan!"

PS: The Portable Residence's reaction is rather unusual.

Why is it up to Li Banfeng to rescue these ten thousand people?
