Chapter Ninety-Two: The Road

Later, Zhao Zongji was only seven days younger than Chen Ke, Chen Ke was the first time to go out of Sichuan, and he was also the first time to leave Beijing. But Chen Ke can go wherever he wants, no one can care, but he can't leave his father's side an inch.

So there is no 'Stockholm syndrome', it's just that the little prince is talking about juvenile madness, wanting to be free, wanting adventure, and wanting to visit Ouyang Xiu.

On the way to Jiangxi, Chen Ke and the others kept looking at Zhao Zongji. I really can't imagine that under such an old-fashioned face, there is a sullen heart hidden.

Zhao Zongji was a little annoyed by the sight, and was about to warn these rude guys, but he heard the guards outside say in a deep voice: "Childe, we are being followed." ”

"Is it that my father is not worried?" Zhao Zongji gently lifted the curtain and said, "Send someone to follow?" ”

"If it's your own brother, why avoid us." The guard shook his head and said anxiously: "My subordinates suggest that we should immediately rush to the nearest county seat, and it will be safe to enter the official office." ”

"You are so daring," Zhao Zongji said coldly: "You more than 20 masters, can't you protect me?" ”

"If you are an ordinary thief, your subordinates are naturally not afraid." The guard said solemnly: "However, the subordinates look at those stalks, like scouts in the army." ”

"What?" Zhao Zongji was surprised.

Chen Ke and the others also changed their faces at the same time, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of their eyes......

Soon after the convoy of grain and grass set out from the city, it attracted cold peeps. After entering the mountain road, the army that had been in ambush for a long time suddenly rose up and fired arrows in unison; The nimble swordsman rushed down the hill and beheaded the civil officials who fell behind......

This is a scene they have speculated together, do they have to repeat it on themselves?

"They don't dare." Zhao Zongji had already regained his composure and said: "If I die, the living crime of bandits will become a capital crime." Obviously, he also realized that those people were coming for Chen Ke and them, and Bacheng was the group of people who hijacked the grain truck.

"Don't be too confident, if you are so sensible, it is still Qin Chaoli." Chen Ke said loudly: "Listen to him, go to the official mansion, and then we will try to leave." "Since he promised the old prince, he can't let the little prince out of danger.

"They listen to me." Zhao Zongji looked at Chen Ke proudly.

"You're a cow." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"Hehe......" Zhao Zongji smiled, and finally pressed this kid.

"But you have to think about Ouyang Gong." Who knows that Chen Ke still has the following: "We went with our tails, didn't we bring trouble to him?" ”

"Who dares to hurt Ouyang Xiu?"

"No one dares to move openly," Song Duanping said coldly: "But I know dozens of ways to make people die without knowing it." Full text and no ads"

"......" Chen Ke and the others all looked at him in surprise, this cowhide is blowing up.

Song Duanping stretched out his tongue, indicating that his mouth was smooth for a while.

Fortunately, the little prince who has little experience in the rivers and lakes believes it. He sank his face and thought for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's make a move 'Golden Cicada Shelling'!" Let the guards attract the villains, and we can easily get on the road. ”

"Originally, we were quite relaxed," Song Duanping sneered, "I'm tired of bringing you." ”

"I have been practicing Taizu's long fist since I was a child." The little prince said angrily: "You dare to choose a day to compete?!" ”

"One hand can knock you down." Song Duanping sneered.

"Alright, alright." Chen Ke hurriedly pulled the frame and said to the little prince: "Can you convince your guards?" ”

"Dump them off."

"......" is estimated to have been suppressed for too long, and the little prince became willful, and even Chen Ke had no choice but to take him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the approval of the little prince, the team turned to the nearest county seat to the north, but it was getting late, so they could only live in the post station first. However, the guards also breathed a sigh of relief, where the north and south merchants gathered, no one should dare to do it.

But the next morning, when they were about to serve the little prince and get up in the morning, they were horrified to find that the master bedroom that had been specially vacated by the post man was empty. There is only one handwritten letter from Zhao Zongji.

There were only a few words in the letter: 'I will be out for a few days and will come back, and you must not move around, nor do you look for me, lest the wicked people detect me, and I will be in danger.' To the outside world, I will announce that I have a cold and will recuperate here for a few days......

The guards looked at their heads and saw that he was pale.

At the same time, a grain team that took advantage of the cool and set out on the road on the fourth watch day was traveling on the road thirty miles away from the post station.

As soon as the sun came out, it was very hot, and suddenly a coachman rubbed his eyes...... He looked at the sack on a car in front of him and began to move.

He was about to speak, and when he reminded the person in front of him to stop for inspection, he saw a **naked black man wearing only pants, shouting: "Kill me hot!" "Came out of it.

Immediately afterward, the sacks on the other cars also loosened, and one after another fine men rushed out, all shouting 'hot, hot, hot'......

"Heroes spare their lives!" An atmosphere of horror enveloped the grain team, and some of the timid ones urinated at that time.

Whoever is a good man, he doesn't look at them, and he walks away.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the five heroes walked out of a mile, and then ran away......

Ran to a big river in one go, threw the burden in his hand on the bank, and the five of them jumped down the river. After a while, they showed their heads one after another, wiped the water from their faces with their hands, and laughed loudly together, even the bald monk.

"It's exciting!" Zhao Zongji has never been so happy in his life, he danced and stirred up the splash and said: "Isn't this a trip in vain!" ”

"The dignified little prince is running naked," Song Duanping smiled strangely: "Won't it be too **." ”

"It's all said and done, don't mention my identity again." Zhao Zongji said: "There is no little prince here. ”

"That's what you said?" Chen Ke and Song Duanping laughed strangely: "Then we're welcome?!" As he spoke, he pounced on Zhao Zongji and pressed him into the water and tossed him. Just kidding, the opportunity to ravage a nobleman, there is no such shop in this village, and even Goro is ready to move.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After tossing the poor little prince to his heart's content, a few unscrupulous companions climbed ashore, dressed up, identified the direction, and walked seven or eight miles to the official road, so that they could find Luling without a map.

Since the Qin Dynasty in China, every dynasty has attached great importance to the construction of official roads. The wealthy Great Song Dynasty naturally did not let the previous dynasty be beautiful. Nong Zhigao's rebellion less than two months ago is the best example -- why was he able to kill from Yongzhou to Guangzhou in less than half a month, and didn't he rely on the Song Dynasty to build bridges and pave roads at any cost, and build a smooth official road?

As for the imperial court, after Yongzhou was broken, the Lingnan counties went to the capital of Kaifeng, and established a super-rapid communication post road, galloping fast horses every day and night, spreading the latest news to the capital in the north -- the efficiency was so high that only five days later, there was an order to return to the south.

Five days, including round trips, and decision-making time! Behind this terrifying record is the investment of the Song Dynasty since the beginning of the country, regardless of the cost...... After a hundred years of construction, the east, west, north and south of the empire have built well-drained and well-leveled official roads that are not afraid of accumulation, connecting the states and counties vertically and horizontally.

According to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, the roadside must be sandwiched by willows and willows, pine and cypress, in the north to shelter the wind and sand, and in the south to consolidate the roadbed; Every five miles beside the road, set up a stone tablet of 'Li', engraved with traffic laws such as 'cheap to avoid expensive, less to avoid long, light to avoid heavy, to avoid coming', and there is a number in the eye-catching place. Look at the number to know how far you have gone, and you can see it at a glance.

In addition, at the state and county boundaries, there are 'boundary mounds', which clearly indicate where you are located, where you are in which state and county, and where you are to the east, west, north and south, and even ask for directions.

And every twenty miles of the official road must be placed in horse shops, there are Xiema pavilions; Every 60 miles, there must be a post station, some of which are run by the government and some of whom are bought and operated by the citizens, all of whom provide a full set of food and accommodation. Scholars often live in post stations, stay in the evening, be safe and worry-free, and can be described as considerate and thoughtful.

It is said that the people of the Song Dynasty liked to travel, and with such good transportation conditions, as long as the family has money, who doesn't want to go out for a walk?

According to the selfishness of the little prince, after going back this time, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in this life. Naturally, I also want to stay in the evening and enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Chen Ke and the others were anxious to save people, and they couldn't wait to travel day and night, how could they let him have mushrooms here.

After some bargaining, it was finally reached, and he traveled 120 miles a day, and then stayed in a post house to rest.

really walked, Zhao Zongji knew that he had a father...... One hundred and twenty miles, I had to run like a dog for almost the whole day, and only in the hottest two hours did I eat some dry food and take a nap on the side of the road.

Poor pampered little prince, how can there be Chen Ke The iron feet that they walked out of since they were children have only been walking for a day, and they have a blister, and their crotch is also worn out, and they walk like a duck.

Chen Ke and Song Duanping discussed whether to buy a mule to carry him, but Zhao Zongji did not agree. His competitive spirit was extremely strong, and seeing that the four of them were walking very easily, he refused to admit this cowardice.

"Tomorrow at this rate, we won't wait for you."

"You don't have to wait!"

I don't know how he persevered on the road behind, but he followed for more than 200 miles. This tenacious willpower has also won the respect of Chen Ke.

Two days later, I finally arrived in Yongfeng County, Luling County. Chen Ke inquired that Ouyang Xiu lived in Shaao Town, outside the county seat. It's a long way, but you can take a boat, and a few people arrived at the pier and met a boat that was about to sail to Sha O.

The ship was almost full, and the guests in front of it had taken up all the good seats in the cabin. The cabin was empty, but the sun was too poisonous, and who didn't want to go to the sun.

Although the five of them were not good at stubble, they did not bully the good master, so they all smiled and said, "Bear and bear." ”

On the ship, there were no men, peasants, and businessmen, and everyone had them, looking at these five dusty 'sweaty men', they only reluctantly moved a little and let them sit cross-legged in the cabin.
