There were more than a hundred people congratulating him.

A huge fleet of vehicles was formed.

At the core of this huge convoy are the more than 20 carriages belonging to the Tang royal family. The carriages are used to carry women, and most men choose to ride horses. In addition to the more than 20 carriages, the royal family also has forty ox carts.

The congratulatory gifts are so abundant that it’s astonishing to see.

However, although the royal motorcade was huge, it was dwarfed by the entire motorcade, because more than a hundred people traveled together this time, and the combined scale was truly appalling.

There are more than a hundred carriages for women's families alone.

In addition, there were also more than a hundred bullock carts filled with congratulatory gifts. At a glance, they looked like giant dragons winding around. The distance between the beginning and the end of the caravan was more than three or four miles long.

It's like a giant mobile camp.

…

In ancient times, it was always difficult to travel on the road. There was a word called "tired by boat and carriage", which was specially used to describe the hardship of traveling.

But another characteristic of traveling in ancient times is that the more people there are, the easier it becomes.

There may be three reasons for this.

First of all, the first point is that when there are more people, we can look after each other. In ancient times, the reason why it was difficult to travel on the road was not because the road was rugged, but because the road was far away and there was no one to look after us. It was easy to have accidents when traveling for a long time.

But if there are enough people on the road, or if the people on the road are very tyrannical, then this difficulty will no longer be a difficulty, and it will not be difficult even if it is a thousand miles away.

Secondly, the second point is that there is no way to ensure food and clothing when you are on the road. The ancients have a saying that a poor family is rich, which means that no matter how poor your family is, you must bring enough money when you go out for a long trip.

Only by bringing enough travel expenses can you ensure food and drink along the way.

But this is easy to solve, because the convoy on the road this time does not have to worry about food and drink.

As for the third difficulty in traveling in ancient times, it is generally that people who travel far away leave their hometown. There is also an old saying, "goods are expensive when they leave their hometown, but people are cheap when they leave their hometown." Once you go on a long journey, you will easily be bullied in a strange place.

That’s why I find it difficult to go out and don’t want to go out unless absolutely necessary.

This difficulty is certainly not difficult when faced with this convoy's journey.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who would dare to bully them without opening their eyes?

There are more than a hundred official families alone, and the ones in the middle are the Li family, the masters of the Tang Dynasty. There are troops in front to clear the way, and guards in the back to escort them. Even those families of Wu Xun have their own soldiers. Even if

Even if you encounter a war, you can also attack the city...

Who dares to stop such a tyrannical convoy?

If they don't bully others, God will forgive them.

But no one expected that there would be unexpected things in the world.

The convoy stopped just as it entered Hebei Province...

Someone actually blocked the road.

…

It was evening at this time, and the twilight of the setting sun was particularly pleasant. However, a group of soldiers who were opening the road had astonishment on their faces, and everyone looked at a little guy in the middle of the road with a strange expression.

The little guy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was quite heroic. But when he saw him blocking the road alone, holding a scroll with his left hand flat on his chest, he was not afraid when he saw the army opening the road. Instead, he opened his mouth and let out a loud sound.

He stopped shouting and said majestically: "Stop all of you, young master, this road is not so easy to pass..."

"Is it blocking the road?"

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, thinking that there might be something wrong with this little guy's brain.

What a brash kid he had to be to do such a stupid thing. He didn't even look at what convoy he was blocking. Wasn't he just seeking death by blocking this convoy?

The soldiers felt dumbfounded.

"Leader, what should we do? This kid doesn't look like a bad boy. Should we raise our hands and spare his life? Although he shouldn't be lenient when he cuts off the road, his situation is obviously not normal.

Please spare me, lest I take another life."

"Spare your life, spare your life, we are just pawns in the army, who has the right to point fingers at this child?..."

The leader of the soldiers laughed angrily, and glared at the soldiers fiercely, and then said with hatred: "You don't know him, but I know him, you all open your eyes and see clearly, this

He is the eldest son of the Cheng family of Duke Su. His name is Cheng Chumo, and he is a real little Duke. This little Duke’s background is already extraordinary, but his backstage is even more terrifying. Do you know who his master is?

?His master is Princess Pingyang’s husband Gu Tianya..."

The soldiers stood stunned on the spot.

It turned out to be this young man, but why did he stop the convoy and refused to let go?

The team leader pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his horse's head back and said hurriedly: "We can't handle this matter. I have to go and report it quickly. You guys should stay here honestly and no one should make any rash comments. Remember

Well, we are just pawns in the army. Some things are just a joke to the big shots, but if it happens to us, it may cost our lives. Remember, remember, don’t make any comments..."

The soldiers were shocked, and as expected, everyone kept silent and stopped talking about it.

Even the curiosity on his face was forcibly suppressed, and it was all stuck there like wooden stakes.

What was happening before them was too bizarre, and they already had a faint feeling that something was not right.

Cheng Chumo, on the other hand, stood there quietly, seemingly not interested in arguing with the soldiers.

Obviously his intention in blocking the road was not to target these soldiers.

…

However, it was said that after the leader of the team returned to report, it immediately aroused curiosity among the entire convoy.

Since the generals were all riding horses, they gathered together to brag and chat along the way. Suddenly, they heard a boy from the Cheng family blocking the road ahead, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Among them, Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui, laughed the most. He rode up to Cheng Yaojin and laughed loudly: "Okay, Old Cheng, you are worthy of being from Wagang Village. Have you been a thief for more than ten years?"

It's fun. Your son will continue to do things like blocking roads and cutting paths. It's interesting, but this kid's brain is not very bright. You have to check the direction of the robbery. This kid directly blocked one of the strongest convoys in the world, haha.

Ha ha……"

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted angrily, his face full of anger.

What was strange was that it was not only Cheng Yaojin who shouted angrily, but also several other generals who shouted angrily. Liu Hongji was obviously startled and looked at the people who were drinking him in astonishment, only to find that they were all shrewd people among the generals. At this time, people

Everyone has a solemn expression on their faces.

In particular, Xu Shiji and Li Jing had already furrowed their brows.

Although Liu Hongji has a vulgar temperament, he also has some cleverness. This guy's heart suddenly twitched, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The boy from the Cheng family blocked the way, which in itself was a bit bizarre.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard. It was a group of people from the Li family riding on horseback. Li Shimin was riding in the middle, and Li Xiaogong and others were following behind. Apparently everyone in the royal family also heard the news and knew that the convoy was stolen by Cheng Yaojin's son.

Stopped.

Li Shimin didn't say much. He just glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Everyone, go to the front and see what the children of the Cheng family have to say. Since the little guy is blocking the way, there must be a reason for blocking the way."

Dozens of people rushed to the front of the convoy.

…

At this time, the setting sun was about to fall, and the sky was covered with brilliant red clouds, but Cheng Chumo was still standing quietly in the middle of the road. The red clouds on the horizon reflected him like a sculpture.

Li Shimin praised him first without asking for the reason, and said with deep meaning: "Young boy, you block the road proudly, and when you see us coming, you can still stand tall. This gesture alone can be said to be a good thing in the face of the general situation."

Jingqi, yes, very good, worthy of being Gu Tianya's disciple, and worthy of being Cheng Zhijie's son."

It seemed that it was a slip of the tongue, and it seemed that it was intentional. In any case, he put Gu Tianya's disciples in front of Cheng Yaojin's son.

There was no fool in the room, and everyone knew that Li Shimin did not make a slip of the tongue.

Therefore, these words have profound meaning.

As Cheng Chumo's father, Cheng Yaojin had to step forward to make a statement. Lao Cheng immediately got off his horse and walked up to Cheng Chumo in a few steps.

Lao Cheng pretended to be displeased and scolded him sternly: "Why are you so crazy? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death? You don't even look at the direction of the wind. Can you stop this team? Get out of the way."

, so as not to be laughed at, our Cheng family has no tutor..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo looked at Lao Cheng with arrogance, held his head high and did not retreat at all, and said loudly: "Dad, please don't call me anything. I don't want to stop you, but I don't know something, and I want to ask your uncles for an answer. My teacher once taught me

For me, if you are confused, you should search high and low, even if it involves mountains of swords and seas of fire, you should not be afraid of difficulties. Therefore, I stopped you."

"Huh?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk?"

"Is this still Cheng Chumo? When did the Cheng family's doll become so good at talking?"

"His words are sharp, and he is even more generous than those civil servants. Could it be that he suddenly had enlightenment and awakened the wisdom from his previous life?"

"My sudden enlightenment is obviously due to my master's teachings. Hey, Gu Tianya, Gu Tianya, he is indeed Gu Tianya."

A group of military generals marveled, and some people began to sigh. As time passed, more and more people in the convoy heard the news, so many more people rushed here, and gradually the surrounding area was densely packed.

There are officials from the Tiance Mansion faction as well as people from aristocratic families.

Li Shimin suddenly spoke and said to Cheng Yaojin in a deep voice: "Zhijie, your son wants to ask for information. Although he is asking about you, he just called uncles, which is obviously asking all of us, so you

Don't answer him with one family's opinions. Any question should be answered by all of us."

Lao Cheng quickly raised his hand and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, please give me a chance to answer first, Lao Cheng. After all, it is my child who is blocking the way. As a father, I have the responsibility to answer his questions."

Li Shimin nodded and did not speak further.

Lao Cheng turned to look at Cheng Chumo, and suddenly sighed softly, and said: "Son, you ask, what is it in your heart that you don't understand, and you need to do such a disrespectful thing like asking questions in the way?"
