Chapter 0009: Arrival in Chaoge
It is like this ... ...
It turns out to be the soldiers under the command of King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu
The flag in the team displays the character "Huang"
So it turns out that Mr. Jiang is celebrating a joyous occasion? Mr. Jiang is indeed a benefactor to both my father and me, and this matter must be handled well
Lu Chuan thought to himself that indeed it was not the time for play, and thus he nodded slightly
Ji Chang was indeed King Wen of Zhou, and the one who overthrew the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty was his second son, King Wu of Zhou
This Chaoge is the current capital of the Shang Dynasty, and it is also the lifeblood and nerve center of the Shang Dynasty
Zhaoge
Very well, then I shall take charge of your marriage, and it will be set for tomorrow
In fact, Lu Chuan is familiar with many of these things, but he does not yet know how to express them in the local language, so he has taken the time to study them diligently.
Lu Chuan smiled honestly and turned to run away
Thus, this marriage has now been finalized
The legendary King Zhou and Daji, among others, resided in the palace within the city
Half an hour later
Lu Chuan felt a bit restless and smiled, saying: "Father, may I go play for a while by myself?"
The other hand gestured with a smile and said, "The city of Chaoge is approximately over 3,000 zhang long from east to west and over 5,000 zhang long from north to south. How about that? Is it big enough?"
"Step aside, step aside, those at the back, hurry up and catch up..."
Song Yiren made a decisive decision on the spot, finalizing the marriage arrangements, and said to Lu Chuan: "You go inform your father, ask him to make preparations, as the wedding will be held at the residence tomorrow"
Lu Liang shook his head and said, "How about we wait for a couple of days until Father is free, and then I will take you to Chaoge for a visit, is that alright?"
Several people then began to set off on their journey
The father and son took their seats in the carriage, driven by the attendant, and set off from Songjiazhuang, heading towards Chaoge.
Soon, the general led this group of people past a few individuals from Luchuan
The man catching the bus is a middle-aged uncle in his thirties, appearing honest and simple-minded
This is also Lu Chuan's first time venturing out. Upon seeing these landscapes that have not been marred by modernization, he gazes around in all directions along the way, feeling his mood lift instantly.
The approaching cart was not the type with a carriage seen on television, but rather a flatbed cart without a compartment
Jiang Ziya said: "Do not mention just three cups; even offering thirty cups would be appropriate..."
Jiang Ziya raised his hand, intending to call out to Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan quickly disappeared without a trace. Jiang Ziya could only shake his head and smile helplessly.
However, even though they hurried along, by the time they arrived at the Song residence, it was already quite dark.
It is ! ''
Celebration
Lu Liang pondered and said: "I will first go to the kitchen to inform them, to see what they need and what is lacking, and report to the master... I may also need to make a trip to Chaoge City."
Thank you, Dad. Lu Chuan left with a cheerful smile
After a brief pause, Liu Liang said: "Alright, then you wait for me at the door."
The sons of the two feudal lords who were killed later succeeded to the title of marquis, raised an army to rebel, and sought to avenge their fathers
Jiang Ziya calculated once more, but this time, after finishing the calculations, he smiled wryly and fell silent
Lu Liang observed Lu Chuan, who had been looking around with curiosity and interest since leaving home. Therefore, he took the opportunity to teach Lu Chuan to identify some of the flowers, birds, insects, and fish encountered along the way, as well as other objects seen on the road
Upon seeing the carriage, Lu Chuan first felt a surge of joy, but then the smile on his face gradually faded away
Lu Chuan stepped out and looked around, and saw that the Song residence was indeed the largest and best-built house in the village.
Without a doubt, Song Yiren is the wealthiest person in Songjiazhuang
Although somewhat disappointing, it is still better to have a car than to walk all the way to Chaoge.
Lu Chuan turned back and saw a general in armor riding a horse, followed by a troop of about one hundred soldiers
Before him appeared a magnificent and grand city at the foot of the mountain, the scale and architectural grandeur of which were beyond the capacity of language to describe
Song Yiren said: "If today is not suitable, then how about tomorrow"
... ...
The fellow nodded and drove into the city of Chaoge through the southern gate
There are more than one hundred households in the village, but there are actually not many families with the surname Song, with only the Song Yiren family being present.
He waited at the door for about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, when Lu Liang came out carrying a bundle, and at the same time, another person was driving a horse-drawn cart towards the entrance
The crowd of travelers returned to the road, quietly speaking as they looked at the line of soldiers entering the city ahead.
Song Yiren is a seasoned individual in the business world, and his greatest skill lies in reading people's expressions and discerning their intentions. Upon observing Jiang Ziya's facial expression, he immediately understood the situation.
Now that he has arrived in this world, how could he not take a look around?
Lu Chuan suppressed a smile and respectfully inquired, "May I ask on which day is the auspicious date for Mr. Jiang's marriage?"
Song Yiren led Jiang Ziya into the hall, laughing as he walked, "Between brothers like us, there is no need for formalities of thanks. Come, today is a joyous occasion, we must drink to celebrate. Dear brother, you must toast me, the matchmaker, with three cups.
Lu Liang smiled as he went to the kitchen
No, no, no, today is not possible, brother, too fast, too fast
Upon entering the city, one can see the shops lining the main street in an orderly fashion, with people coming and going on the streets, and the sounds of vendors calling out in succession, creating a scene of great liveliness and prosperity, leaving Lu Chuan dazzled
Is this the legendary City of Chaoge?
Father, Father...
Lu Liang walked over with a smile, placing one hand on the shoulder of the boy who was nearly as tall as he was
Little ... ...
Lu Chuan stood atop the mountain, gazing down at the magnificent giant city and murmuring to himself
Lu Chuan looked at Lu Liang
Lu Chuan gazed at the magnificent giant city, nodding in a daze.
Although Song Yiren is not his biological brother, he treats him even better than a real brother. He is not a three-year-old child, so naturally, he cannot disregard Song Yiren's good intentions
Lu Liang called the servant to move the purchased items inside, while Lu Chuan returned to his room first
Lu Chuan quickly recounted what had just happened to Lu Liang
The driver hurriedly brought the carriage to the side of the road
Song Yiren pondered and said: "I have already paid the hiring fee, and since there is no better day than today, dear brother... how about today?"
Lu Liang said softly to the two, "Mind your own business and take care of your own matters."
The Song residence is located thirty-five li outside the southern gate of Chaoge, in a village called Songjiazhuang
King Zhou, fearing that Jiang Huan and Chu would cause chaos after the incident, took preemptive action. He deceived the four great lords to come to Chaoge, executed the Eastern Bo Marquis and the Southern Bo Marquis, and imprisoned the Western Bo Marquis Ji Chang
Duke Dongbo, Jiang Huan of Chu
Lu Liang looked at his son, who was full of eager anticipation, and thought that indeed, as Lu Chuan had said, he had not yet stepped out of the Song residence since waking up
The scenery along the road is beautiful, with not a trace of modern pollution.
Song Yiren nodded and smiled, saying: "This Xiaochuan, after gaining insight, has indeed become an honest and diligent child, quite good, quite good"
... ...
... ...
Today, this city has given him enough shock
Lu Chuan quickly found Lu Liang after leaving the front yard and said with a smile: "Father, the master has asked you to prepare, as there will be another joyous occasion at the residence."
Lu Liang asked in surprise: "What good news?"
In this era, the scale of this Chaoge is undoubtedly the largest and most magnificent city in the world
Let's call it a day. Firstly, it is getting late, and secondly, we should not delay Mr. Jiang's matter.
At this time, chaos has begun to emerge in the world, thus Huang Feihu started training his troops all day long, making early preparations.
After letting Ma rest for a while, Lu Liang looked at the sky and said, "Once you are rested, let us hurry along. After we finish buying the items, we still need to rush back tonight"
Lu Chuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Father, I also want to go. I have been awake for so long, yet I have not stepped out even once..."
Three people traveled more than 20 miles and finally arrived at a high mountain. Due to the haste of their journey, both the people and the horses were exhausted, so they decided to rest here.
It was solely because the nine-tailed fox conspired with the treacherous minister Fei Zhong to falsely accuse and cause the death of Queen Jiang, and Queen Jiang's father was none other than one of the four great lords of the world, who guarded the eastern part of the Great Shang and commanded two hundred small lords in the east.
Jiang Ziya clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "In that case, I thank you very much, elder brother"
This fellow ... ...
Jiang Ziya shook his head like a rattle drum, hurriedly calculating with his fingers in his sleeves, and quickly said: "Moreover, today's divination indicates that it is not suitable for marriage."
In Songfu Chaoge, there are many restaurants. After they went to one of them to purchase the food and drinks needed for the banquet, several of them drove back along the same route, but on the way back, they had an additional guest, the head chef of the restaurant.
As they approached the city gate, a loud shout suddenly came from behind, causing the people on the road to scatter to both sides
