Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged. Early the next morning, Luo Zhang took Sun Simiao, the old poisonous man, on his journey to the south.
They did not choose to take a boat, but got into a carriage and wandered southward.
Originally Luo Zhang was going to just get a carriage, but Li Shimin found out and directly arranged a five-carriage carriage for him.
As an old saying goes, the emperor has six, the princes have five, the ministers have four, the officials have three, the scholars have two, and the common people have one.
In other words, Li Shimin had arranged a carriage for Luo Zhang in accordance with the highest etiquette of princes and kings, and there was no one else but him.
There were no princes or kings in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that Luo Zhang was already the uncrowned king.
Many people's expressions changed slightly when they heard the news. After all, this was tantamount to conferring Luo Zhang as king in disguise, which was against the ancestral system. Not to confer kings with different surnames was a rule passed down since the Han Dynasty.
No one has ever broken it, but when it came to Li Shimin, or to Luo Zhang, there was no breakthrough on the surface, but in fact it had been broken.
Luo Zhang didn't care about this. The emperor drove six and the princes drove five. To him, it was just a carriage.
Luo Zhang didn't bother to say this to pedantic people. After all, he is a modern person. He knows one truth, that is, whoever has the biggest fist, let alone the emperor driving six, he just makes a carriage with eighteen, who dares A long-winded sentence.
Sitting in a carriage pulled by five tall horses, Luo Zhang and his entourage galloped quickly on the official road.
The carriage is extremely spacious, not to mention sitting or lying down. The facilities above are all available. Even Luo Zhang likes barbecue. There is a copper charcoal basin in the center of the carriage, which can be used for Luo Zhang to barbecue at will. , Luo Zhang modified it and added a chimney to the top, so that the smoke from the barbecue would not accumulate in the carriage.
There is wine, meat, barbecue, and delicious food. It doesn't feel like looking for something. It's not an exaggeration to say it's like going on an outing.
Lao Duwu and Sun Simiao didn't have any objections to this. On the contrary, they were happy. Although they had lived for so long, they had never gone out to play like this. Most of the time they rode horses.
Princess Yicheng was not surprised. She was a princess before, so she had seen many such ceremonials.
Although the few people were eating and walking together and seemed not to be looking for anything, poisonous insects were following them underground under their carriage, and the radiation range reached a hundred miles. In other words, according to their The hundred miles of land in the center are all under the control of Lao Poison.
And if there is something underground, it is also under the control of Old Poison. They can be said to be looking for something while playing, really doing both.
Luo Zhang naturally knew this very well, and the fact that Old Poison was so interested in him had something to do with him. He also had to overcome the tribulation, and he also needed lightning protection stones.
However, they were not so lucky. After traveling for seven or eight days, they found nothing.
On this day, the group finally arrived at Huguang. Luo Zhang had been here several times, including when he attacked Feng Ang and rescued Li Xiaogong.
He is familiar with this place. The city originally built by Feng An has now been taken over by Li Shimin. The land of Huguang has long been in the possession of the Tang Dynasty.
This is a land of plenty, and the products are extremely rich.
Luo Zhang stopped the carriage at the city lord's palace and asked the city lord to take good care of it. How dare the city lord neglect it? This is Luo Zhang, the man who covers the sky with one hand, Zhao Guogong. It is an honor to meet Zhao Guogong. Now he can help take care of Zhao Guogong's carriage. The city lord It's so exciting. If you take good care of it, you might be favored.
Luo Zhang didn't know that after he took a few horses out of the city, the city lord went to feed the horses almost every day, wash the horses and other things himself.
To put it bluntly, he took care of Luo Zhang's horses more carefully than he took care of his mother.
After leaving the city, the group of people headed west, where there was the Yunchuan Mountains. If the lightning protection stones were to be kept, they could only be found in these places.
There was nothing gained along the way before, maybe it was because the ground had been dug and leveled countless times, and if there was anything, it had been taken away long ago.
