"Husband, you will be able to return to Xianyang in two days. After you get home, you need to have a good rest for a few days!"

Half a month after leaving Qinghe Town, Chen Xu's convoy finally arrived at Hangu Pass. Looking at the towering Hangu Pass walls and towers between the two mountains, Ying Shiman gently held Chen Xu's hand and said gently.

"I'm not tired, but I just hurt you to follow me all the way and eat and sleep. After I go home, I'll stay in the villa for a few days. I'll make some delicious food to reward you and Wan'er..."

"Brother Xiaoxu, Yu Ji also wants to give you some delicious food. Look, my teeth were lost yesterday!" Yu Ji, who was sitting next to him playing checkers with Xing'er, turned around and shouted, pointing at the mouth where he lacked a front tooth.

"Haha~" Looking at Yu Jimeng's dazed look, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe, but that's right, the poor Yu Jiya has lost one of hers!" Meng Wan and Ying Shilan both covered their mouths and laughed, leaning back and forth.

"You are so stupid. Every child will lose teeth. If you wait a few years, your mouth will lose all your teeth!" Xing'er laughed.

"No, Yu Ji, don't lose all your teeth. I want to eat delicious food. I also want to chew the duck neck and chicken claws!" Yu Ji's mouth slapped and cried.

Chen Xu glared at Xing'er with a lot of laughter and cry, and quickly comforted him: "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. When I go back, I will make delicious supplements for you, and new teeth will grow soon!"

"Well, I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, barbecue patties, crispy roast duck, braised chicken legs..." Yu Ji burst into tears and started to snatch his fingers for a smile, and instantly, a few saliva sounded in the carriage.

"Husband, I want to eat too!" Ying Shiman said softly with a blushing face.

"Okay, let's let the convoy go faster!" Chen Xu himself also knocked on the window a few times with saliva to help the driver speed up.

"Marty ~~Marty ~Wait ~"

Just as the long convoy was about to pass through the gate of the gate, several fast horses were galloping towards the road behind, and someone kept shouting loudly.

"Marty, someone is calling to chase him behind!" The head of the guard reported by the car window.

"Stop!" Chen Xu nodded and ordered.

"Yu~" As soon as the coachman put away the reins, the four horses immediately slowed down and stopped quickly on the side of the road. The long line also stopped.

"Haven, wait~~" Several horses came in an instant, and the flying horse's hooves brought the soil all over the ground. Before the horse could stop, a few people jumped off the horse's back.

"Hey, it's you, what happened?"

Among these people is a craftsman from the Academy of Sciences. Chen Xu thought that an accident occurred at a construction site, and he was a little nervous.

"Mr. Marquis, there is no urgent matter, but now the construction of Dongfang Road has officially started. Last time, there were several sections of roads that needed to be straightened by bends and needed to be handled by the Marquis himself..." The leader of the craftsman said quickly.

"So that's it!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, pinched his chin and thought for a while, "I already know this. I will make arrangements as soon as possible after I return to Xianyang. You can go back and arrange for the engineering team to build other areas for the time being!"

"What? Could it be that you didn't hear me?" Seeing that the craftsman and the followers did not move, Chen Xu frowned.

"Mr. Marquis, we can't wait. These merchants who contracted these sections cannot wait. Now seeing that construction is starting elsewhere, the merchants who contracted these sections are extremely anxious and begged their subordinates to ask the Marquis to use the Taiyi Divine Thunder to blow up the blocking hills out of the passage earlier!" The craftsman said with a wry smile.

"Marty, I am really anxious. Seeing that there are new roads everywhere else, I can only stare at those hills, so I specially caught up and disturbed the Marquis, hoping to help us deal with them as soon as possible!" Several people who followed bowed together.

Seeing the dusty and dusty look of several merchants, it must have been chasing me for a few days before I caught up with me. Therefore, Chen Xu was reluctant to refuse, so he could only comfort me: "I have seen the surveying and mapping data of those hills. It will be completed in just over a month if I explode. Why be so anxious!"

"Mr. Marquis, I'm so anxious. You can save a lot of money after finishing it earlier. The longer you delay, you will consume a lot of grain and coins every day. For me, saving money is actually just making money... Hehe!" Several merchants smiled with a little nervousness.

"Well, that's right, the engineering team consumes a lot of money and food every day. OK, I'll arrange this matter now!" Chen Xu thought it was reasonable, so he called a guard over and told him, "You hold my order and hurry back to Xianyang, send this letter to the Academy of Sciences to the supervisor, Lord Zhao Qing and Zhao, and ask him to go to the factory outside the city to arrange for people to properly load the gunpowder leads and other items stored in the basement of the factory and then transport them to Mianchi. By the way, you have to go to the Nanshan Villa to bring the two mute slaves together. Remember to pay attention to safety on the way, remember not to make any mistakes in waterproofing and fire protection..."

After Chen Xu gave a sincere advice, he wrote a letter in the car, stamped his own seal and handed it to the guard leader.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will complete the task!" The guard took the letter and hurried away.

"Shiman, Wan'er, it seems that I can't accompany you to Xianyang. I'll ask the guards to take you back first and have a good rest at home for a few days. I'll be back in a few days!" Chen Xu got in the car and said to Ying Shiman and Meng Wan with a wry smile.

"Husband is busy, we will take good care of ourselves. You must take good care of yourself. Don't be exhausted!" Ying Shiman gently helped Chen Xu tidy up his clothes.

"Teacher, take care of it. It's cold spring now, don't suffer from the cold wind!" Meng Wan also gave me careful advice.

"I'll protect my two wives on the road. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you if you want to ask!" Chen Xu said to a group of guards after getting off the car.

"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I will definitely send the two ladies back to Xianyang safely!" A group of guards quickly bowed and said loudly.

"You wait for six people to stay to protect the marquis, and the rest will follow me to protect the two marquises back to Xianyang!" The guard leader shouted.

"Here~"

"Brother, I'll stay with you. I haven't seen Taiyi Divine Thunder yet!" Han Xin, who had been with a group of teenagers all the way, came over and said excitedly.

"Well, stay here and go with me!" Chen Xu nodded.

Watching a group of guards leaving with fifty teenagers, escorting Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and a group of maids and servants, Chen Xu then got on another smaller four-wheeled carriage. There were only two maids who were close to taking care of their daily life and food, and then there were six guards and several servants who were caring for their carriages and horses. Han Xin was still riding a Hun horse with several guards.

"Let's go!" Chen Xu slapped the car window a few times in depressedness, and the carriage started and followed the craftsman and several merchants to make a journey.

Ying Shiman and Meng Wan are both noble daughters. They have been spoiled since childhood and have never suffered. The journey back to the hometown to visit relatives and ancestors and return to Xianyang is long. The carriages and horses are bumpy and hard to eat and sleep well. After half a month, both of them are exhausted and look like they have lost weight. Although Chen Xu can't bear to leave, he can only arrange for his own way for the time being.

If it is Shui Qingrou, she will definitely insist on being by her side.

When Chen Xu thought of Shui Qingrou, he suddenly became depressed and sighed silently on the soft bear skin chair. Chunxiang and Qiuxiang two little maids quickly knelt down to help beat their legs.

The few people were very busy and they were quick to move, and they did not stop at all along the way. They arrived at Mianchi in two days.

China uses the Qinling Mountains as the central axis to divide it into two parts: the north and south. The south of the Qinling Mountains is humid and warm, mainly the Yangtze River water system, and is called the south. The north and north of the Qinling Mountains are dry and cold, mainly the Yellow River water system, and is called the north. The climates of the north and south are huge, the products are huge, and people's living habits are also huge.

Many tributaries that inject into the Yellow River originate in the Qinling Mountains, with dozens of rivers of all sizes. The Oriental Road to be built now spans many rivers, so dozens of bridges of all sizes are needed.

In addition to these rivers, along these large and small rivers, there are countless Qinling veins, branches extending to the bank of the Yellow River like fish bones. Although there are roads in many places that can be easily walked, the roads are also winding and not a straight line. These winding roads connect the counties, counties, towns and towns along the way.

According to the surveying and mapping map of the Academy of Sciences, Chen Xu confirmed that the first place that needed to bend and straightened is in Mianchi County.

Mianchi County is close to Luoyang and belongs to Sanchuan County. The Qin and Zhao alliance was in Mianchi. The story of returning the jade to Zhao that people circulated among the people happened here.

Mianchi has many mountains, mainly composed of the Qinling Mountains and the Danxia landform, so the road is very inconvenient to pass through. The built Oriental Road winds around it, winding through mountains of all sizes. Therefore, two places are in Mianchi.

The Yellow River has always been the most developed agricultural area in the Central Plains. It is densely populated. Although Mianchi is small, it is close to Luoyang. It is basically the northwest gateway to Luoyang. In order to block the harassment from Qin. If Qin wants to attack Han and Wei in the Central Plains, Mianchi is a place that cannot be avoided.

But Mianchi is a prosperous area of ​​the Central Plains after all, and both commerce and agriculture are relatively developed. Therefore, the flow of people is dense, and the Oriental Road has been built relatively smoothly. However, there are several sections of it that require a long distance to detour, which consumes both time and manpower and material resources.

The mountain in front of me is not high, and Chen Xu is not expected to exceed fifty meters, but it is all exposed rocks. The current Oriental Road is winding north along the foot of the mountain and wanders around several valleys for nearly eighty miles before detouring to the back of the mountain and continuing eastward.

In fact, this mountain is not unhooked. People passing by nearby people directly climbed over the hill, which took no more than half an hour. Therefore, Chen Xu was standing at the foot of the mountain at this time and saw people carrying baskets of vine baskets and even driving donkeys to carry goods along the path on the mountain.
