Tang Dynasty: Nine-year-old County Grandpa

Chu Jie, who came out of the palace, did not plan to stay in Chang'an for too long.

Back in the county office, with the help of the maid Xiaoyu, after packing up the salute, the master Chen Xiu and Zhanzhao were already waiting at the door of the room.

"This time, please go to Taiyuan with this official.

Chu Jie looked at the two right-hand men and nodded with some satisfaction.

"Your Excellency, this is what I should do.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said.

"Exactly, being able to accompany adults to do great things is also a blessing that I Chen Xiu has cultivated in my three lives.

Chen Xiu also said with a look of emotion.

"In that case, let's go!" Chu

Jie smiled heroically and took the lead in getting into the carriage.

Then Chen Xiu and Zhanzhao sat in the coachman's position, Zhanzhao shook the reins, and the old horse strode and pulled the carriage away from the county office.

Outside the main gate of the county government, there were already three hundred fierce cavalry waiting outside at this time.

The leading general, Chu Jie also recognizes.

It was Lu Guogongcheng's eldest son Cheng Chumo.

This sturdy young man dressed in black armor and like a calf rode his horse with a smile on his face after seeing Chu Jie.

"Meet Lord Chu, this time I will escort Lord Chu to Taiyuan by my humble position. "

Please don't worry about safety, you will never die behind your adult!" Cheng

Chumo said angrily.

"Very good, then trouble General Cheng.

Chu Jie nodded with satisfaction, and immediately ordered to set off.

The procession marched out of the city and soon attracted the attention of the people.

"Lord Chu, is this going far away?"

"I guess I'm going to run an errand

!" "That's right, Bacheng is going to investigate the assassination of Li Shentong, the Duke of Yasukuni last time!"

"It's worthy of Lord Chu, let him go out directly, this matter should have been in Dali Temple." "

Hmph, don't mention the waste in Dali Temple, it's not worth mentioning thanks to the credit of robbing Lord Chu!"

"That's right, that guy Li Daozong is just a waste!"

The people talked a lot.

In the imperial capital, they are the most well-informed.

However, none of them expected that the case that Chu Jie was going to handle was far more complicated and serious than they knew.

At this time, Chu Jie, after the carriage left the city, opened the curtains first and looked out the window with curiosity on his face.

As the distance from Chang'an is getting farther and farther away, the condition of the road is getting worse and worse.

The buildings in the villages on both sides are also getting more and more dilapidated.

What changed was the mental and physical condition of the people that could be seen occasionally.

"I'm Datang, I'm still very poor......"

Chu Jie sighed.

With the deterioration of road conditions, Chu Jie still encountered an accident.

The carriage, which dates back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, finally couldn't hold it anymore when it passed through the pit once.

The axle broke with a bang, the right wheel ran away on its own, and the body slammed into the ground with a bang to the right, so that the suspension did not fall over.

"My lord!!"

Cheng Chumo and Zhan Zhao and Chen Xiu, who were sitting in the carriage seat, were suddenly shocked.

If Chu Jie had an accident because of a broken carriage, it would be really bad luck.

However, before they could approach the carriage, Chu Jie had already lifted the curtain and walked out with a calm face.

"I knew that I should have forcibly confiscated the carriage left by the Tubo people last time, instead of burning the ......"

Chu Jie smiled bitterly after jumping off the lame carriage.

"It's great if you don't have anything to do.

Zhan Zhao said with a look of fear on his face, and Cheng Chumo and Chen Xiu both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unfold, be alert, and don't let anyone get near here.

"If you don't comply, you won't be killed!" Cheng

Chumo gave an order with a vigilant look on his face, and all the well-trained cavalry dispersed at the same time.

His face became more and more anxious at this time.

It was close to noon when we set off, and it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

In this state of the carriage, he couldn't walk anymore, which suddenly made him a little frustrated.

"Come on, go to Huayin in front of you and find a craftsman...... No, find a carriage. "

Tell the Huayin County Order, this is the Qin Mission's case, he must cooperate, and he needs a good carriage!" Cheng

Chumo ordered the herald again.

"Yes!" the

herald turned to leave.

"Also, ask them to send a team of county soldiers who are familiar with this area to respond, and they will come overnight!"

"If our Lord Chu makes a mistake, my Cheng family wants his whole family to pay for their lives!"

Cheng Chumo shouted again.

"Understood, General!" The

herald's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly responded to the order, and rode his horse towards Huayin County, which was more than 100 miles away.

Immediately, the cavalry began to patrol with the highest level of alert.

Soon, night fell, and the soldiers set up camp next to the wagons and lit bonfires.

Coupled with the cavalry patrolling and guarding with torches in the distance, it looked like a building of fire.

"Hey, my child's body is really holding back. Lying

Chu Jie sighed.

He was too weak and too short to ride a horse.

If the cavalry was carrying him and hurrying, not to mention what kind of physique, at this age he was wearing a Hanfu with fluttering sleeves and leaking wind on all sides, and he was blown by the wind before the Mid-Autumn Festival, plus the bumps, it is estimated that he could remove half a life.

I had to wait for the carriage.

In the middle of the night, he fell asleep.

In his dream, a fierce tiger swooped down on him.

"Damn!"

The next second, he trembled, as if he had fallen from a high place, and immediately got up.

Suddenly thinking of something, he lifted the curtain of the tent.

Outside the door, a bonfire was lit.

Cheng Chumo, Zhanzhao and Chen Xiu were chatting around the fire to keep warm.

"Why did you get up, my lord?" asked

the three of them in unison, almost at the same time, after seeing him come out.

"I'll go see if there's any trouble!" Chu

Jie said something that puzzled them, snatched the torches of the guards next to him, and walked to the carriage more than a dozen paces away.

Immediately, less than half a meter behind the carriage, the pit that had been knocked before the axle was broken was found.

His brow furrowed.

This pit is not deep, it can only submerge the ankle.

There are still traces of water from the heavy rain these days.

He rolled up his sleeves and felt his way to the puddle, and his expression changed dramatically.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao asked, and the other two followed Zhan

Zhao over.

With the help of the firelight, they watched as Chu Jie dragged out an iron rod from the puddle that was inserted horizontally inside.

Obviously, this was a trap, and the wheels of the carriage would be pinned by iron rods the moment they were trapped, and the inertia of the carriage itself could tear off the axles that were already subpar in strength.

"We're in trouble this time.

Chu Jie muttered to himself.

"Hiss......"

The three of them suddenly gasped.
