Chapter 11 The twists and turns

From the instinct of a general, Benedict Keo immediately knew that if a train with such a large number of people was used to transport the army, it would be extremely powerful.

"Is it not that Xia State can have such strong strength? No wonder Xia State dares to expand their territory without worrying about the issue of rule!" Benedict Keo sighed secretly.

If their Ice and Snow Kingdom could have such a magical weapon... it would be a pity that they didn't!

After the train passed Yongsheng City, he continued to go south. Although he had only stayed in Yongsheng City for a short time, in order to understand Xia Kingdom better, Benedict Keo took this opportunity to get off the car and go out for a walk.

After leaving the train station, accompanied by Changsun Sheng and his suggestion, Benedict Keo and his party did not walk far, but just walked around the train station.

Yongsheng City was originally named "Yili City". Since the territory south of the Jiehe River was captured by the Xia Kingdom, this city has been used by the Xia Kingdom because of its special geographical location.

Of course, everything in Yili City was demolished before. Now Yongsheng City is a military city in Lizhou outside Xiaguo Pass. The city is stationed in the fourth garrison commanded by Huo Qubing.

It is precisely because of the important geographical location of Yongsheng City that this is also an important transportation hub outside the Xia Kingdom Pass. To the west, it will reach the western border with the Third Mountain Division; to the north, it will come from the Jiehe City of the Ice and Snow Kingdom Envoy, which is stationed by the First Infantry Division. To the east, it can also reach Lizhou's prefecture, Lishui City, and the important development city on the eastern coast, Shouhai City; to the south, of course, it will go to the hinterland of Xia Kingdom and Zhongjing, the capital of Xia Kingdom.

The merchants of Xia Kingdom valued the business opportunities in this important place and went on business again. The people were willing to move here. Even many factories in Xia Kingdom were opened here. Therefore, Yongsheng City can be regarded as very prosperous.

So when Benedict Keo left the crowded railway station, he saw such a prosperous scene - a hurried but orderly crowd, roughly the same but distinctive pavilions, shouting mixed and colorful shops...

After looking carefully, pedestrians with hurried but red faces always walked on both sides of the road, but on the wide road, there was no pedestrian. Instead, they were driving various carriages. From time to time, the "knights" galloped on horseback were galloping in the middle of the road, just like they were running in the vast Liaoyuan...

If you look closely at the city pavilions full of Xia Kingdom style, you will find that these pavilions are as exquisite and gorgeous as other castles. If it weren't for Changsun Sheng's introduction, this was a commercial street outside Yongsheng City Railway Station, Benedict Keo would have thought that all the living here were nobles.

Benedict Keo and his group walked into the crowd on the roadside. He found that this was the first time he had seen it so close and had come into contact with so many Xia people.

While walking, he was exploring various shops in Xia Kingdom. First, Benedict Keo saw a fruit shop full of various colors. When he walked in, he found many fruits that he didn't know.

After asking Changsun Sheng some questions about these fruits, Benedict Keo ate a big red apple that Changsun Sheng had just bought for him, while looking at another shop next to him - a restaurant.

Just when Benedict Keo wanted to explore this unique restaurant that looked very imposing at first sight, Changsun Sheng told him that the time was coming and the train was about to set off again. Benedict Keo had to say goodbye to this bustling street full of exploration in front of the restaurant.

As soon as the group returned to the train, the train slowly started again. During this stopping period, the train underwent a brief maintenance and a water and coal replenishment in places that Benedict Keo and others could not see.

Although it was only a few hours away and the train was in a perfect state before leaving the station, there was no loss in the train at all, but this process is indispensable, just for nothing else.

Now, Benedict Keo has basically been accustomed to the various magical wonders of Xia Kingdom, or it can be said to be all kinds of miracles.

Benedict Keo came back to his senses and calmed down, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. If he kept losing his composure like this, it would not only make him lose all his face, but also make his heart, which has been suffering from the battlefield, unable to bear it.

The train continued to drive south, and the scenery I saw became "similar" and made Benedict Keo, who had not had a rest all night, become sleepy. At some point, he leaned against the car window and fell asleep.

When Benedict Keo woke up, the sky outside the car window had completely darkened. He felt the slight vibration under him and knew that he was still in the train.

Looking back at what Changsun Sheng told him in the morning that he would arrive at the capital of Xia Kingdom by night, he asked Changsun Sheng, who looked out of the window because of his awakeness, and said, "Your Excellency, how long is it to your capital?"

Changsun Sheng smiled slightly and replied, "Emister, the train has just passed Shanhaiguan and is not far from Zhongjing. It will arrive in about four hours."

When Benedict Keo heard that there were still four hours left. After looking at the sky outside and asking his subordinates about the current time, he roughly calculated it in his heart.

Not to mention it, when Benedict Keo calculated this way, he was shocked by the result he calculated!

——In less than a day, he sat here in just eighteen or nineteen hours, easily crossing a long distance of thousands of kilometers!

This is not a hundred meters, not a thousand meters, but more than a thousand kilometers, and more than one million meters!

It was just a day when such a long distance was just around the corner. If Benedict Keo had heard someone tell him that more than a thousand kilometers would take no one day to reach, he would have regarded that man as a madman.

But now Xia Guo used this train to put this impossible miracle in front of him. Even though he had long been baptized by the "miracle" of Xia Guo, he had to lose his composure again.

"Good... Your Excellency! Your Country..." Benedict Keo finally came to his senses from the results he had calculated many times. After he spoke, he realized that his voice was so hoarse and trembling that he could not even say a complete sentence in the end!

"Your Excellency, please ask your country to support our country. No, it should be an alliance with our country. It is not right. Our country is willing to be the most important thing... The Supreme People's Liberation is under the vassal of the Supreme People. No matter what the price, as long as the Supreme People's Kingdom is willing to support and help us, we are willing to pay!"
