Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 202 When setting off, people blocking the way

A Buddhist master named Ming Faseng came from the south and arrived in Pengcheng.

This news spread rapidly within a few days, and the matter of the Kong family's invitation was also revealed, instantly attracting the attention of Peng Cheng.

On the streets, in the market, in teahouses, and in taverns, wherever there is a dense flow of people, people are talking about this matter, completely diluting the original discussion about Chen Zhi.

In this atmosphere, few people noticed that the number of people coming and going to Chen Zhi Manor outside the city has increased significantly in recent days. Today, several Chen family masters even went there in person.

At this time, several gentlemen gathered in the courtyard, looking at the busy servants, looking at several carriages, and giving instructions to Chen Zhi.

"Zhi'er, when you go out, you must be careful everywhere. Don't enter the forest, go around the water, and a gentleman will not stand under dangerous walls. You must be more careful in everything." Chen Chi chattered on, with a worried look on his face. .

The sixth master, Chen Youze, said: "If it hadn't been for the literary conference in Qingzhou, I would not have agreed to your study tour. The seventh brother is no longer here. You haven't gotten married or left any heirs, so you have to go out to study. Some It doesn't make sense." His tone was a little stiff.

"Sixth brother, you can't say that." Chen Bian shook his head and said with a smile, "Our seventh nephew has the ability, so he has to go out and make a living. How can we stay at home? You also heard that Ming According to the news from Dharma Monk, there are many talented people going north to Qingzhou this time. If you can stand out from here, you will be famous all over the world. This is a matter of honoring your ancestors!"

The fifth master, Chen Xun, also laughed and nodded: "Isn't that right? Zhi'er's outing this time will also let people know that our Pengcheng Chen family has a third-grade person!"

The eighth master, Chen Yuan, said in a calm tone: "When you are away from home, you should rely more on your friends. The gentlemen of the Lu family and the Tao family are all knowledgeable people. When something happens, remember to ask more questions and listen more to them. suggestion."

"Uncle Eighth, this is a compliment. I've been waiting for you."

Tao Ya and Lu Ying, who were waiting nearby, quickly became humble. Because they were friends with Chen Zhi on the same generation, and their relationship had become much closer over the past two months, so they both regarded themselves as the nephews of several old Chens.

When the masters of the Chen family heard it for the first time, they were terrified, but now that they are more or less used to it, they feel even more proud and secretly happy.

Tao Ya said: "In terms of knowledge, I can't wait for Brother Chen to be one-tenth the best. I heard him talk about the world's scenery before, and everything was like seeing it with my own eyes. This is like knowing the changes in the world without leaving home. We definitely dare not Compared with Brother Chen.”

Lu Ying also nodded. This young master of the Lu family still wanted to argue with Chen Zhi. He did not feel ashamed because Chen Zhi had ascended to the third rank. However, he had argued for a long time and admired Chen Zhi's personality and knowledge.

In the following time, everyone was talking to each other, and the scene was very lively.

After several days of preparation, Chen Zhi had all the necessary preparations for the study tour. It was time to invite everyone and prepare to set off.

His study tour was not for publicity, so he kept a low profile during preparations. Several old Chens considered Chen Zhi's safety and were unwilling to make too much publicity.In addition, everyone inside and outside Pengcheng was talking about the invitation from Ming Fa Monk and the Kong family, so not many people noticed the movement on Chen Zhi's side.

After the old Chens had finished explaining, the motorcade drove out of the house. Chen Zhi turned around and looked at Chen Ting, Chen Xi, Chen Man behind Chen Chi and Chen Bian, as well as his old servant Chen Fu and his disciple Chen Zhe et al.

Because of the difference in status, even though they were Chen Zhi's blood brothers, they still couldn't stand at the front. Now Chen Zhi waved to them, and a few of them came closer.

Chen Ting saluted, straightened up and said, "Brother, I wish you a safe journey."

Chen Zhi nodded, and then said: "Second brother, when I am away, you will be the backbone of the family. Remember to ask your elders and assistant uncles for their advice. If you have anything, you can discuss it with Chen Jue."

Chen Ting nodded solemnly.

Chen Xi said with some reluctance: "Brother, you have to come back soon."

Chen Zhi walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "During my absence, you must study hard and don't be playful."

"I remember." Chen Xi nodded repeatedly.

Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to Chen Man.

The latter was also full of reluctance.

"Brother, you have to come back soon..." Chen Man also said this, "I will miss you when you are not here."

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, little sister. During this study tour, you will definitely see many rare objects. I will bring them over for you to see."

"Really?" Chen Man suddenly became happy again, "You must keep your word!"

"Brother, have you ever lied to you?" Chen Zhi asked back, touched Chen Man's head, then looked at his loyal servant Chen Fu, and said, "Uncle Fu, I have to trouble you to take care of the family."

Chen Fu said seriously: "Young master, don't worry, as long as my old servant is alive, I have to guard the Chen family!"

Chen Zhi heard this and said with a smile: "Uncle, you have to take care of yourself. We can't live without you at home. For those trivial matters, just let others do it. You can also let Chen Jue arrange it..." At this point, he He turned to look at Chen Jue, who was waiting on the side, "Chen Jue, after I leave, you must be more diligent inside and outside the house."

"Master, please keep this in mind, and you will definitely live up to your trust!" Chen Jue looked solemn, and was ecstatic in his heart. What does it mean to be given a special explanation on such an occasion?
This is the treatment of a confidant!After working hard for so long, I finally got to this point.

In Chen Jue's ecstasy, Chen Zhi came to Chen Zhe and looked at his disciple.

In terms of qualifications, Chen Zhe is not considered to be the best, but since he became a disciple of Chen Zhi, he has gained a resilience, and with Chen Zhi's specially customized tutorials, he has made rapid progress.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not taking you with me this time because you still have a lot to learn. I've written down the specific books. You can look at them at any time. Your books are in this house." The room is also reserved, so you can bring your grandfather to live with you."

"Teacher, I..." Chen Zhi wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Zhi's expression, he finally nodded firmly, "Teacher, don't worry, I will be careful and will not smear you."

Chen Zhe originally had little interest in reading, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he became Chen Zhi's disciple. After that, his situation changed dramatically, which made him deeply realize the significance of knowledge in changing destiny. Coupled with his grandfather's ardent expectations, So I worked hard.

After Chen Zhi ascended to the third level, Chen Zhe felt another pressure. He was afraid of embarrassing his teacher, so he worked even harder, and his original temperament almost disappeared.

Chen Zhi saw his expression, but shook his head and said: "Studying is for learning. In fact, there is not that much purpose. If you find it interesting, then read more. If you find it useful, then learn more. If you think it can change your destiny, then work hard. , but don’t forget yourself because of this. You may not understand what I said now, but write it down first and you will have insights later.”

After saying this, Chen Zhi bowed his hands to several uncles, turned around and went out, his whole movement flowing smoothly.

Arriving outside the door, Lu Ying, who had been waiting there for a long time, couldn't help but ask: "Are you just leaving like this? Do you want to say goodbye to the governor and the others?"

"I visited him three days ago and told him about this." Chen Zhi looked back at his manor and then got on the carriage.

The same is true for the three fellow travelers, Lu Ying, Tao Ya, and Liu Gang.

Suddenly, the convoy was ready.

They said it was a convoy, but in fact there were only three cars, which belonged to Chen Zhi, Lu Ying and Tao Ya. Liu Gang and Chen Zhi shared the same car.

There were guards walking on both sides of the motorcade, fifty of whom looked quite capable. These people were selected from two hundred armed servants.

Chen Zhi's servants were originally 1000 people selected from 200 people. They had undergone rigorous training, and these 50 people were the more outstanding ones among the 200 people. In terms of spirit, they were already the same as when Zhuge Yan left. The taste of the elite servants of the Zhuge family.

Since it is a motorcade, of course it must have guards, but the number cannot be too many, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, unless it is a wealthy family like the Zhuge family, but it cannot be too few, whether it is Lu Ying, Tao Ya, or even Liu Gang , are all of extraordinary origin, and cannot afford to suffer any loss. They themselves also have their own guards accompanying them.

The guards gathered together, and amid many blessings, the motorcade drove slowly onto the avenue.

Due to the large number of people, the convoy was not moving fast. Many people along the way saw it and guessed its origin. They all paid attention and saluted, but no one came up to stop it because they were all ordinary commoners or passing merchants.

After walking for two hours, the number of pedestrians on both sides gradually became sparse, and the accompanying guards gradually became more vigilant.

We have left the town and entered the wild, so we may encounter bandits. If we don't deal with it well, the entire convoy will be wiped out, and it will take several days for the news to be known.

Fortunately, the journey was quite peaceful and there was nothing special about it.

In the carriage, Chen Zhizheng was chatting with Liu Gang.

"We will arrive at Xiekou Town in a while. We can stay there tonight. This town is located at the foot of a mountain. There is a temple on the mountain that was built in recent years. I heard that the monks there are quite wise. Since they are out to study, Chen Brother, you can’t miss this person.”

As a member of the Liu family, Liu Gang has also visited the surrounding areas. He knows the situation here quite well and can be regarded as a semi-guide.

Chen Zhi became interested and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'm just going to have a look."

Liu Gang added: "The Ming Dynasty monk has been staying in Pengcheng for a few days. I heard that he will be leaving in the next two days. I was in the city before, and there were so many people coming and going over there that it was difficult to see him. Maybe we can stop here." In a day or two, we might meet him at the mountain temple in Xiekou, where we can discuss Buddhism."

Chen Zhi smiled and said nothing.

As the two of them said this, the sun outside the car gradually set.

When the sky was filled with flaming clouds, several figures suddenly appeared on the road ahead, all riding tall horses, blocking the road.

As soon as the leader saw the convoy, he reined in his horse and came forward.

The guards of the convoy suddenly became nervous.
