Chapter 7
After a simple lunch, Chen Luo found the coachman he had hired long ago, took the packed dry food and weapons, boarded the carriage, and headed to Kuaiji.

It was only half an hour out of the city, less than twenty miles away, and Chen Luo turned into a bitter face.

He hurriedly told the coachman to stop and take a rest.

Sitting on this carriage, people will be paralyzed.

It’s no wonder Confucius said, “You never get tired of fine food, and you never tire of fine food.” It’s probably because when you travel around, you often need to sit in a carriage, and you are bumped and have problems such as gastroptosis, so you have to eat finer food.

And the carriage that Chen Luo is riding now has no qualitative change from the carriage that Confucius rode in back then. It is still a unique carriage with original shape, which is very different from the exquisite carriages in those ancient TV dramas.

This "辀" refers to the wooden stick that connects the horse and the cart.

This wooden stick is called "shaft for ox carts, and 辀 for horse-drawn carts". However, after the appearance of the double-shaft carriage, this stick is also called the shackle on the double-shaft carriage, so it is called "single root is called 辀, and two sticks are called shaft".

The double-wheeled carriage first appeared in the Warring States period and was used as a chariot in wars. When it was completely iterated and replaced the single-wheeled carriage for grain transportation, business and other activities, it would have to wait until the middle of the Western Han Dynasty.

Now at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the double-wheeled carriages were controlled as chariots, there were less than [-] double-wheeled carriages in Chen County, all of which were under the control of Chen Sheng's barracks.

And Chen Luo didn't want to make troubles, so he had to feel wronged, and left in this single-wheeled carriage. Besides, sitting in a carriage was more comfortable and safer than walking.

While repairing, Chen Luo took out a piece of dry food, thought about it, and gave half of it to the driver next to him.

"The journey is tiring, and I only gave you a few days to prepare dry food. I'm afraid you won't prepare enough. If you pass away hungry on the road, no one will drive for me." He smiled and handed it over.

The other party thanked him repeatedly and then took it.

Chen Luo waved his hand, saying it's okay.

Anyway, the dry food I brought was enough, so I distributed it to the coachman for peace of mind.

After all, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were still many ruthless people in the profession of coachman, such as Ruyin Wenhou Xia Houying, and the murdered Chen Sheng's coachman Zhuang Jia.

While the two were eating dry food and chatting from time to time, dozens of figures appeared on the road in the distance.

Chen Luo visually observed that the other parties were all young men, and he felt a little vigilant in his heart.

If it hadn't been for seeing that the other party was not holding a weapon, and that he was still within Chen Sheng's sphere of influence, Chen Luo would have asked the driver to turn around and run away first.

However, Chen Luo still asked the driver to start the carriage first.

When things go wrong, they can speed up and leave directly.

In addition, Chen Luo also placed weapons on the carriage, and although this unique chariot is a bit outdated now, it was a mainstream chariot in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the Spring and Autumn Period, a top killer in a country.

Once it accelerates to charge, the people on the opposite side are obviously not wearing armor, so Chen Luo holds a weapon and can even cut him in half with the help of inertia.

The two sides gradually approached, and Chen Luo could clearly see the specific appearance of the group of people.

The leader is tall and burly, with a dignified Chinese character face, and he also walks like a dragon and a tiger.

Seeing Chen Luo's carriage approaching, he dodged to the side of the road, cupped his hands and asked, "Chen Ping, these are my friends. We came from Yangwu and headed for Chen County. May I ask you how far the journey is?"

Hearing this, Chen Luo, who was sitting in the carriage, almost jumped to his waist.

Damn, Chen Ping looks so decent?
In fact, Chen Luo also knew that in the history books, there was indeed a record of Chen Ping's extraordinary appearance as "Ping was beautiful when he grew up".

It's just that he was more deeply influenced by Chen Ping's title of "poisoner", subconsciously ignoring the record on his appearance.

There is a title of "poisoner". In the subconscious, most people have the impression that Chen Ping's appearance is not to mention the evil eyebrows, but to rely on the sinister and cunning.

Chen Luo took a deep breath, cupped his hands in return and said, "Brother Chen Ping, continue walking along this official road for an hour and a half, and you should be able to see County Chen."

"Thank you." After receiving the reply, Chen Ping returned the salute again with a decent manner.

It was just that when Chen Luo's carriage left, he took a few more suspicious glances.

It is really strange that this person left Chen county leisurely in a carriage.

People who can use the carriage, logically speaking, their status is already very limited.

But Chen Luo's performance made him unpredictable.

If those officials want to escape, they will definitely not be so leisurely. If they are country gentry, they will definitely take their families with them and will not be alone.

Could it be Chen Sheng's subordinates who passed by?

But this time point should be a critical period for Chen Sheng to distribute power. It is too late to squeeze into the power center, so why would anyone choose to leave.

Weird weird.

Chen Ping shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and beckoned his partner to move on.

The day after the news of the incident in Daze Township reached Yangwu, he decisively chose to bid farewell to his elder brother and summoned his trusted companions to join Chen Sheng.

Because he concluded that this uprising was just the beginning, and the world would be in chaos.

And in a world of great chaos, there will be countless opportunities to be named princes and prime ministers.

He, Chen Ping, wants to choose a hero, advise him, and help him rule the world!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping strode forward confidently, full of motivation in his heart.

at the same time.

Chen Luo, who was walking opposite to Chen Ping's group in the carriage, rubbed his chin expectantly.

"interesting."

The driver next to him didn't hear clearly: "Mr. Chen, what are you talking about?"

Chen Luo chuckled and said, "What do you think of the person who asked the question just now?"

The coachman didn't know why, so he was taken aback for a while before answering: "Although the man's clothes are a bit shabby, he is tall and handsome, and he is probably a decent man, just like Mr. Chen."

After Chen Luo heard it, he couldn't help laughing out loud, the driver next to him was a little confused, he didn't know what he said wrong in his words just now, which made the other party so happy.

"Don't judge people by their appearance, maybe the other party has a lot of tricks." He stopped laughing and said.

The evaluation of Chen Ping, the second counselor in the early Han Dynasty, has always been controversial. Those who hate others say that he is unscrupulous and treacherous, while those who respect him say that he is resourceful and has been the savior several times.

However, Chen Ping might not be able to get the evaluation of decent behavior just now that the coachman said in his life.

But the coachman shook his head, expressing his disbelief: "It is said that it is born from the heart, that man must be a loyal and honest person."

It seems that I am surrounded by a reverse prophet!

Chen Luo continued to ask curiously: "Then when do you think I will see that person next time?"

"Ah?" The coachman scratched his head, "Is there still a chance to see him again? Is Mr. Chen going to turn around and chase after him? If we don't turn around now, I'm afraid it's unlikely that we will see him again, or we may meet again in ten or twenty years."

In this era, if two people pass each other on the road and have a hasty relationship, if there is no other way of contact, it may be difficult for them to meet again in this life.

It's just that the two judgments the coachman made today based on common sense were all wrong.

Leaning on the car seat, Chen Luo changed into a comfortable posture and said, "I don't think it will be March, I'm afraid I will meet him again."

The coachman shook his head in disbelief.

Chen Luo laughed at this.

As long as I go to Liu Bang Xiang Yu to stay, I will definitely meet Chen Ping.

At the end of Qin Dynasty, this guy was the one who changed the family most frequently.

But fortunately, Chen Ping didn't yell "I have been wandering for half my life, I only regret not meeting the Ming Lord", and he didn't steal the scene where the slaves of a certain three surnames recognized their adoptive father.

Changed the subject and continued chatting with the coachman, the carriage bumped slowly on the official road and headed towards Kuaiji.
