Chapter 223: The Development of Datang Express!
Hearing Song Cai's explanation, Lu Chen was stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, immediately after that, his brows furrowed slightly again, and he said, "If you don't escape from the mountains, it's basically impossible to escape. According to what Luo Gong said, that mountain range was all surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Taishou Mansion, and now even if the Luo family has lost most of them, it will be at least more than a hundred people, and more than a hundred people will act together, and the goal is very big. As long as those officers and soldiers who are too guarded are not blind, they will definitely be able to find out! ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Song Cai nodded, and also fell into deep thought. It is not an easy task to rescue more than 100 people from the mountains and forests without alarming the officers and soldiers outside.
Just thinking about it, Lu Chen suddenly asked, "You said that if I find an herb that can repel poisonous insects, and then lead some people there, can I shuttle through the mountains?" ”
Hearing that Lu Chen was still unwilling, Song Caifei said with great certainty, "This is basically impossible, even if the young master can keep those poisonous insects from getting close, and the people brought by the young master are all people with extraordinary martial arts." However, don't forget that there are also ubiquitous plants and trees, and in the mountains of the south, there are countless highly poisonous plants, and even in some places, all of them are highly poisonous within a radius of dozens of miles! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen really realized how dangerous those mountain ranges were. The reason why Lu Chen thought of this method was only because those mountain ranges in his previous life were not so dangerous at all. In previous lives, traces of human activity could be seen in almost all mountains.
This also made Lu Chen take it for granted that even if the mountains here were dangerous, there were more poisonous insects and beasts. It wasn't until Song Cai gave him a detailed description that Lu Chen realized that the danger of those deep mountains and old forests was far from comparable to those mountains in his previous life.
At the same time, Lu Chen finally understood the thoughts of the poor people who would rather bear heavy taxes than hide in the mountains.
Outside, no matter how heavy the taxes are, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. But if you enter the deep mountains and old forests, you are basically going to die.
After figuring it out, Lu Chen's brows furrowed even tighter. If you don't escape from the mountain range, can you still lead the Luo family of the hundred and tenth to break through?
This thought flashed in Lu Chen's mind. After all, the few remaining people in the Luo family are basically old and weak women and children, as well as a few high-status forgers. These people have almost no combat effectiveness, and if Lu Chen leads them to fight against the officers and soldiers of the Taishou Mansion outside, it is not much different from sending them to death.
Unable to think of a good way, Lu Chen looked at the map again. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he found that not far from the mountain range where the Luo family was hiding, a river meandered through it.
On top of that, from the mountains to the river, it's very flat, with only a few small forests and a few hills. However, in a place like this, the Yizhou Taishou Mansion will definitely set up heavy troops for prevention and control. Lu Chen had no doubts about this, he could see that this was a good route to escape, and the Yizhou Taishou would definitely be able to find out.
This place is not very close to Yizhou Taishou, and although there are few hills in this area, there are not many woods. As a result, even if the Taishou set up heavy guards in this area, it is still impossible to monitor the entire area.
And those blind spots where they are deployed are the opportunities for the Luo family to escape!
However, only escaping this river may not completely escape the pursuit of the Taishou officers and soldiers, after all, this river is also in Yizhou, so after crossing the river, they not only have to face the pursuers behind, but even guard against the possibility of blocking the troops ahead.
Although this route seems to be similarly difficult, it is much more realistic than the previous two methods. After all, if they take this route, they basically only need to deal with the officers and soldiers who are too guarded. And without the poisonous insects and beasts.
Lu Chen told Song Cai about his general plan. After hearing that Lu Chen was going to break through from this side, Song Cai also looked at the map in detail. Then he nodded slowly and said, "This method is quite feasible." However, there is one thing that the young master should understand. In this kind of place, the Taishou must have been heavily defended, and since we can all see it, they must have seen it a long time ago."
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know this, but there is no other way now!" ”
Song Cai looked at the map for a while, pondered for a moment, and said, "You can go and ask Luo Gong, after all, their family lives in Yizhou all the year round, and they know much more about it than we do." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, yes, how could he forget this person?
However, since the last time this Luo Palace said goodbye in the palace, Lu Chen had never seen him again. After all, he and Lu Chen had only met once, so Luo Gong should still be wary of Lu Chen. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to even tell Lu Chen where he was.
Lu Chen was not dissatisfied with this, after all, a wanted teenager like Luo Gong came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and he might be exposed if he was not careful. As soon as his identity is revealed, Tang Xuanzong will definitely send someone to arrest him immediately. So, it's normal for him to be cautious.
However, in this way, Lu Chen could only wait for Luo Gong to come and inform him, even if he wanted to find Luo Gong, there was nowhere to find it.
Putting this matter behind him for the time being, Lu Chen and Song Cai asked about the recent development of Datang Express.
Hearing Lu Chen ask about Datang Express, I saw Song Cai smile and said, "This young master, rest assured, the development speed of Datang Express has far exceeded my expectations." At the beginning, I was thinking of monopolizing the entire Chang'an City within two years, and then establishing branches in the surrounding state cities in five years, and establishing branches in all the large cities in Datang within ten years. However, it has only been a short year, and Datang Express has established branches in six cities such as Chang'an and Minzhou, and when I sent people to Yizhou City not long ago, I also established a small branch there by the way, and by the way, I collected information for the young master."
After listening to Song Cai's detailed account of the development of Datang Express, Lu Chen nodded appreciatively, he really dug up a treasure on the bandit mountain. At this time, Lu Chen reminded, "You have to pay attention, our technology must not be spread. Otherwise, we will not have the advantage of being a single family! ”
Looking at Lu Chen, who was a little worried, Song Cai said with a smile, "Young master, don't worry, for this, I have thought of it a long time ago." I have a self-destruct device on all of my printers. The self-destruct mechanism must be turned off before each use, otherwise the printer will be completely destroyed, and the switch is so hidden that only those who can ensure loyalty know about it" (To be continued.) )
