Chapter 1096 When the princess first went out to look around, Muchuan Daxing City encountered obstacles
In this world, the strong are respected. As long as you have strength, even if you are a pauper now, there will be people who will flatter you and flatter you.
No matter which country it is, it is the same, the weak eat the strong.
This is an eternal truth.
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?"
Taishi ordered Huang Jing to ask.
Li Shimin looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "Go and see these great rivers and mountains!"
"yes!"
Huang Jing immediately said respectfully.
…
The weather was a little hot today, and Muchuan's motorcade left the city from the east gate of Chang'an City just now.
It is more than two thousand miles from Chang'an to Youzhou, and it takes about two and a half months to travel these two thousand miles.
Muchuan and Princess Changle were riding in the carriage together.
At this time, Princess Changle was lying on the window looking at the scenery outside, with a fresh look on her face.
"Brother Muchuan, do you think the scenery there is any different from Chang'an?"
Princess Changle suddenly asked Muchuan with her big watery eyes flashing.
"Well, it's a big gap."
Muchuan nodded and said.
At first, the carriage was relatively fast, but gradually, the carriage slowed down because Muchuan and the others encountered a heavy rain dozens of miles away from Luoyang!
This is difficult to do!
Heavy rain will slow down the carriage because it blocks the carriage's view.
If this happens, it will be troublesome.
Muchuan frowned inside the carriage.
This heavy rain came suddenly without any warning. If it is not resolved in time, it may delay the trip.
Fortunately, Muchuan made preparations in advance.
He moved all the goods, including the accompanying jewelry and food, into his storage space.
Then I found someone to get a wooden stick on the chassis of the carriage, and then tied it with cotton wool. This prevented the moisture from rising from the ground and affecting the comfort of my carriage.
As for horses, Muchuan also made a simple method of training horses.
Although the horse was not very obedient, it still ran smoothly under my control.
The carriage continued to move forward, but not as fast as before.
After walking another five or six miles, we finally arrived at a place where it didn't rain.
This is a mountain range, but it has been cut down cleanly, exposing a lot of rocks.
And the trees on the mountains have all withered.
Muchuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
The mountains and forests here have died, and it seems that it is basically impossible to grow food.
Moreover, it is not conducive to farming because the mountains are full of bushes and meadows, and it is not suitable for horses to stay in such a place for a long time.
Because there must be a shortage of food in a place like this.
On the one hand, he was accompanied by tens of thousands of people who were fed by horses.
On the other hand, there are many unruly people in such barren mountains.
Although he was not afraid, Muchuan had to be on guard against those reckless men who would scare Her Highness the Princess.
Moreover, it is still more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang City. At this speed, it will take at least two days to reach the capital of Luoyang.
what should I do?
Fortunately, although the speed of the carriage has been reduced, it is still very fast.
In the carriage, Muchuan and Princess Changle were chatting. Princess Changle was no longer very curious about the scenery outside during the two days of bumps.
At this time, he just lay down in the carriage and let the servants fan him to cool off.
Not only Princess Changle, but Muchuan is also very hot.
The interior of this carriage is large enough to accommodate more than ten adult men.
There is also a table with tea cups, pastries and fruits placed on it, making it a small room.
But that doesn't stop them from feeling uncomfortable in the heat.
In addition, Muchuan also discovered that there was a small, airtight room inside the carriage, which should be a lounge.
The carriage continued to drive for a day and night, and just when the army horses' eyes were starry with hunger and Muchuan initially planned to feed the horses with army rations, they finally arrived outside a city.
"Uu~uh~"
The groom stopped at the city gate.
"Where is this?
Hurry into the city and resupply!”
Muchuan ordered Zhao Siyu outside the carriage.
Zhao Siyu said: "This is Daxing City, only one hundred and twenty miles away from Luoyang."
Muchuan was stunned, but he did not expect to arrive at Daxing City, which was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang.
The scale of this city is neither big nor small, and is no less impressive than Youzhou.
Muchuan looked outside through the car curtain and immediately saw the soldiers standing guard on the walls of Daxing City.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Muchuan seemed to see the vigilance and vigilance in the eyes of these soldiers.
What's going on here?
Muchuan was a little confused, how could these people treat their carriage as if they were looking at the enemy?
"Sir, let's go to the inn first, and then go to the post house later. The post house is a place specially designed for business travelers to rest. You can stay there and rest. Let's go to the city again in the evening."
Zhao Siyu said.
"Oh well!"
Muchuan said.
The carriage drove towards the city gate.
"If you enter the city at night, you must pay one thousand silver coins, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the city!"
A defender at the city gate said.
Muchuan took out his waist card and gave it to Zhao Siyu.
Zhao Siyu walked forward, handed it over, and said, "Is this enough?"
The defender checked it and then said: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Then the defender turned around and walked into the nearby castle, and then a young man came out.
This young man looks gentle and gentle, but if you look carefully, you can see that this young man has sharp eyes and murderous intent in his eyes.
"It turns out it's Master Mu. I'm really disrespectful. I was so negligent just now. I hope you can forgive me."
The young man laughed.
Muchuan smiled and shook his head, then winked at Zhao Siyu.
Zhao Siyu immediately took out a stack of banknotes, handed it to the young man and said, "You're welcome, just accept the money."
"Thank you, sir!"
The young man took the banknote with a smile.
Muchuan asked calmly: "I wonder what your name is?"
"Liu Wenzhong, a humble official, is the city defense officer of Daxing City."
Liu Wenzhong replied.
"Okay, I am just passing through Daxing this time. I am just feeding people and horses and supplying supplies in the city. Please open the city gate, Mr. Liu!"
Muchuan said.
"Please come with me, sir!"
Liu Wenzhong said respectfully.
Liu Wenzhong ordered the city gate officers and soldiers to open the city gate.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city!
Therefore, all the 50,000 troops following Muchuan were stationed outside the city.
Only Muchuan's servants and accompanying guards followed him into the city.
Liu Wenzhong led the way on a tall horse, taking Muchuan and others all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
This mansion is the mansion of Daxing Prefect. It covers a huge area, but it is not luxurious inside.
"Sir, please sit down for a moment. I will send someone to inform the prefect."
Liu Wenzhong said.
"Excuse me, Mr. Liu."
Muchuan said with a smile.
After Liu Wenzhong went out, Princess Changle asked: "My lord, why are you so polite to that man?"
