At the end of the day, the sky has just turned white and bright, but the guards and runners in the Dragon Gate Security Service have already been busy early on.

Twenty or so blue brawnys are wearing strong clothes, with swords and long swords hanging on their waists, and carrying strong bows and spears.

Apart from this, the three large carriages still parked quietly on the edge of the road.

Two of the carriages carry several huge paulownia boxes on them. These are the two trucks of cargo that Dragon Gate Security Service escorted to Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi.

As for the carriage in the middle, it is not a pallet truck used to pull goods, but a passenger car with additional compartments.

The Tong Family brothers and sisters also know that Zhou Chen is planning to leave for the exam today. Although they didn't come to see off in person, they all helped Zhou Chen to prepare for everything.

This carriage is what the Tong Family brothers and sisters are ready to use for Zhou Chen's ride. Even the carriage driver was specially selected by Tong Shitou from the old escort driver, in order to avoid it. Zhou Chen suffered too many bumps on the way.

There are still a lot of dim sums and drinks prepared by Tong Xiangyu in the carriage's box. It can be said that all the things Zhou Chen needs are prepared.

Whether it is a truck or a passenger car, a flag is inserted on the left and right sides of each carriage.

All the flags are based on the big red, embroidered with black text embroidered with iron painting and silver hooks. The left side is a Tong character, and the right side is the four characters Dragon Gate Security Service.

When Zhou Chen walked out of the gate of Tong Mansion, he saw the six flags waving in the wind at first sight.

At this time, those escorts who were gathering for a chat also spotted Zhou Chen carrying parcels and luggage at the same time.

The Chief-In-Charge Escort Zhao of this dart ride hurriedly rode his horse to Zhou Chen's front. He turned over and bowed his hands to paid respect and said: "Little husband, everything is ready. After you get on the carriage, you can leave for Taiyuan Mansion."

Not only this Escort Zhao, but the other guards and runners in the field are also respectful. cup one fist in the other hand moved towards Zhou Chen gave a salute.

The father of Zhou Chen’s predecessor was the last escort chief of the Dragon Gate Security Service before his death. The current escort chief Tong Boda has to be exactly similar to his parents and children, so the predecessor is naturally among the Dragon Gate Security Service Possess a not low status.

The most important thing is that Zhou Chen went to Taiyuan Mansion this time to participate in the Qiuwei Township Examination. As long as he passes the examination, he will immediately get the fame of Juren.

Master Juren is a person who has to be courteous to three points when the county grandfather meets. How dare ordinary people like them dared to neglect.

The courtesy of these escorts and runners is very comprehensive, Zhou Chen also did not feel arrogant because of this, he first cupped the hands to everyone, and then smiled and raised his body. The former Escort Zhao: "This trip will take a lot of effort. Escort Zhao has bothered me a lot."

Escort Zhao replied in a modest voice: "The little husband is serious. I can send the little husband to participate in the imperial examination. It’s the honor of our brothers to make an all-out effort."

Shook the head with a chuckle, Zhou Chen continued: "Okay, Escort Zhao, don’t want to leave, let’s try our best Let’s get on the road!"

"Please let the little husband board the carriage, and we will leave!"

Escort Zhao took over the baggage carried by Zhou Chen, and he respected him. Zhou Chen sent Zhou Chen to the middle car with a carriage.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Escort Zhao turning over and riding on the horseback neatly. The whip in his hand was raised and shouted: "Bright dart!"

"He Wu...He Wu..."

The other guards also made a long and loud shout.

"pa pa!"

Escort Zhao volleyed fiercely with a whip and issued orders: "Go! Go to Taiyuan Mansion!"

Following, everyone's strategy The horse drove away from Hanzhong Mansion and moved towards the direction of Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Although it is only the early autumn season, the bleak official road has long been covered with a layer of withered leaves.

The carriage wheels of the carriage rolled on it, producing bursts of rhythmic, crisp and loud rustling, which also added a few sounds to the boring journey.

Even on the way, Zhou Chen did not waste time, as usual, he continued to deepen his memory of the Four Books and Five Classics in the day, and at night he condensed his skills diligently. Do not decorate every day.

Feeling the ever-increasing Purple Qi in the dantian, Zhou Chen's Essence, Qi, and Spirit are constantly growing.

"Tick! Tick!"

I don't know when it started, raindrops suddenly fell in the sky, making the already faintly cool climate even worse. The ground was a bit cooler.

Raising his hand to lift up the veil covering the window of the car, Zhou Chen looked at the scene outside the carriage.

At this moment, the Escort Zhao and their escorts seem to have put on all their robes and hats, and the two trucks are also covered with a thick rain-proof sheet.

However, they did not plan to find a place to shelter from the rain. Instead, they continued to gallop toward Taiyuan City along the spacious official road.

At the moment, their entire group is not far away from Taiyuan City. According to the current speed, at most around the evening, they can enter Taiyuan City to rest.

However, once they are delayed on the road, they will not be able to enter Taiyuan City today, and they can only continue to sleep outside the city for one night.

Because according to the law of Ming Dynasty, as soon as the hour arrives, the drum will be sounded on time, prohibiting people from continuing to move on the street, and the city gate will be directly closed and blocked.

No traffic will be opened until the morning bell rings on the 2nd day.

If you don’t want to be locked outside of Taiyuan’s city gate, then the dart team can only brave the rain.

Furthermore, in terms of the drizzle nowadays, it will not create much barriers to the dart team.

Unfortunately, the day was not fulfilled. After the dart team ran through the rain for more than an hour, the rain became worse and worse, and eventually it even turned into a pouring rain.

The torrential rain fell on the top cover of the carriage, and even burst out a dull sound after another, densely packed, continuous.

The rain is so violent, it is already unrealistic to continue on the road. It is better to take advantage of the rain not to continue to expand and find a place to take shelter from the rain. Today is already impossible to enter Taiyuan City.

Fortunately, there is a deserted mountain temple not far ahead that can be used as a shelter from wind and rain, so Escort Zhao decided to stay in that mountain temple tonight.

Immediately, Escort Zhao turned his horse to the side of Zhou Chen’s carriage. He knocked on the window and shouted: "Little husband, the rain is getting more and more violent, you know what's ahead. There is an abandoned temple not far away, so let’s go there to take shelter from the rain."
