Chapter 1620: Hu Xi'er's Letter

At this moment, far away in America, Qingyang Shuo.

Was holding a meeting with the high-level officials of Longyan City to discuss the joint attack by Britain and France.

What Longyan City should do.

If they were to defend, how they should defend, and a strategy needed to be formulated.

"Reinforce the city walls, and first bury a circle of Landmines outside the city!"

"Let those who dare to invade Longyan City never return!"

……

The discussion in the conference hall was exceptionally intense.

Qingyang Shuo, who was always calm and composed, now had a grave expression, because according to the news received, it was highly likely that Longyan City would face an attack from France.

According to the report from Wan Shang, Richard had already become suspicious of them.

Even if he hadn't, Longyan City should still take precautions.

If they waited until France actually attacked, it would be too late.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open abruptly.

Everyone was stunned and looked over in unison; it was a servant who had barged in, and everyone frowned, feeling very displeased.

"Is this a place for you to come?"

"Didn't you see that we are in a meeting?"

Qingyang Shuo's expression was also somewhat unsightly; he usually taught his servants not to be rash in their actions.

But today, he had committed an act of rashness.

Qingyang Shuo was somewhat pedantic, but not unreasonable, and he said indifferently: "What is the matter, being so flustered."

The servant did not answer, but glanced at the people around.

Under the unfriendly gazes of the crowd, he ran forward and whispered: "Master, please lean your ear over, I will tell you."

Qingyang Shuo frowned slightly, wondering why his servant was so abnormal today.

But he still suppressed his curiosity and leaned his ear over.

He leaned into Qingyang Shuo's ear and whispered: "Master, a letter has arrived from the Young Lady."

Qingyang Shuo felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and immediately turned his wheelchair to head outside.

"Today's meeting is cancelled!"

Seeing Qingyang Shuo leave in such a hurry, everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but be curious about what the servant had said to him.

What kind of information could make Qingyang Shuo, this City Lord of Longyan City, so anxious.

The servant pushed Qingyang Shuo, and Qingyang Shuo asked in a deep voice: "Who sent it?"

Hu Xi'er had not sent him any news for a long time, and he did not know what Hu Xi'er's current situation was.

How could a father not worry about his daughter? Even Qingyang Shuo felt extremely worried in his heart.

The servant said: "I don't know, that person dropped it at the gate of our City Lord Mansion and then left."

"The guards at our City Lord Mansion didn't even notice that any strange person had been there."

Upon hearing this, Qingyang Shuo's expression changed slightly, and his eyes sank a little.

Longyan City could receive letters from Britain, but if the letter was delivered in this manner, then Hu Xi'er must have encountered some problem.

This was a method of contact used only in emergency situations.

Qingyang Shuo quickly returned to his room; the letter was in Qingyang Shuo's room.

The envelope was not opened, and Qingyang Shuo looked at the signature on the envelope; it was indeed Hu Xi'er.

Qingyang Shuo opened the envelope and pulled out the only two sheets of paper inside.

The servant tactfully left the room and closed the door.

As Qingyang Shuo looked at the first sentence written on the letter, his expression changed instantly, and monstrous anger surged into his heart.

"Dad, Mo Cheng and I have been placed under house arrest by Britain."

Qingyang Shuo's face was terrifyingly gloomy, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and at this moment he wished he could kill his way to Britain through the envelope.

"Those bastards in Britain!" Qingyang Shuo gritted his teeth and said.

Qingyang Shuo continued to read, full of fury, but upon seeing the next sentence, the anger that had just ignited instantly turned into confusion.

"You don't need to think about coming to save us; Mo Cheng and I are planning to abduct a group of scientists here. Mo Cheng recently found someone who wants to use a Steam Engine on a Horse Carriage to build a Steam Car; using a Steam Car to transport things should be quite fast, right..."

Qingyang Shuo looked at the content on the back of the letter with a complex expression; other than the daily interactions with Mo Cheng and information about teasing her old man, there was no other content.

Reading to the end, Hu Xi'er wrote on the letter: "Old Dad, Mo Cheng and I have..."

Seeing this sentence, Qingyang Shuo could no longer sit still; he flipped to the next page and was instantly dumbfounded—the next page was completely blank.

Have what?

What does "have" mean?

What did that bookworm Mo Cheng do to my daughter!

Countless negative associations instantly filled Qingyang Shuo's mind; he only felt a buzzing in his head, and his restless emotions could not be calmed for a long time.

Qingyang Shuo could completely no longer sit still.

But he was helpless; after a bout of restless hair-pulling, he threw the letter heavily into the wastebasket.

He didn't want to see it at all.

But after calming down, he picked the two pages back up, placed them inside a book he rarely read, and stored them away with the utmost solemnity.

Qingyang Shuo slowly exhaled a breath and stopped thinking about this matter.

But he still couldn't help but think about it; Hu Xi'er mentioned a key piece of information in the letter: someone in Britain wanted to apply the Steam Engine to a Horse Carriage.

Regarding this concept, Qingyang Shuo fell into deep thought.

"Steam Engine, Horse Carriage... interesting."

The Steam Engine is very bulky; if the Steam Engine can be used as the power output for transport ships, then why can't it be for a Horse Carriage?

If such a land transport machine were invented, it would absolutely change the current situation.

The era of industrialization has now arrived.

With the existence of such a transport tool, the ability to transport goods on land would be greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Qingyang Shuo placed even more importance on this product.

And there was another person who placed as much importance on it as Qingyang Shuo.

Mo Cheng also wrote a letter to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng looked at the letter and murmured, "Steam Car..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the concept of a Steam Train immediately came to his mind.

Which is to say, a Train.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes; the invention of the Steam Train back then had directly accelerated the process of industrialization.

Moreover, the Steam Train also holds great significance for warfare; if there were a Steam Train, the circulation of resources would become exceptionally rapid.

Within his Dragon Flame Nation, although similar concepts had been proposed.

But due to various reasons, the Steam Train was not successfully developed.

He did not expect that there would also be people in Britain researching this.

If they could be recruited to go to Dragon Flame, that would be for the best.

However, Mo Cheng and Hu Xi'er are currently under house arrest by Britain, and this matter must also be resolved.

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and wrote in his reply: "Do not rush this matter; prioritize your own safety first. If you are in danger, seek out the local Armis Agency and show them this badge; they will protect you."

"Regarding the problem of how a Steam Train turns, if guide rails were built for the wheels, that should solve the problem..."

After Liu Zheng finished writing the letter, he sent it out.
