Chen Chu couldn't explain clearly to these natives for a while, so he didn't explain at all.
Cheng Yaojin stood up immediately and asked, "Fifth Brother, when did you get it out? How come I don't know about Cheng?"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "It was made last night."
Cheng Yaojin looked at the three big yellow dogs, and asked, "Can I sit? I have a body like mine. Will I fall into the snow if I sit on it?"
Chen Chu pointed to the sled and said, "Fourth brother, you can try it."
"Just try it."
Cheng Yaojin is a bold activist.
While others were still doubtful about this thing, he had already got on the sled.
Chen Chu stuffed his fingers into his mouth and whistled violently.
The three big yellow dogs galloped forward.
……
Chapter 193 Nobody Believes
Originally, everyone including Cheng Yaojin thought that if he sat on it, the three big yellow dogs would not be able to pull it even if he didn't get caught in the snow. Who knew that once the three big yellow dogs exerted their strength, the sled would move quickly. Cheng Yaojin moved quickly on the snow.
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
"so fast!"
"Ah, don't stop!"
Cheng Yaojin's joyful voice echoed in the square outside Ganlu Hall.
The surrounding ladies and eunuchs were all attracted by him.
Li Er and others looked at Cheng Yaojin enviously.
Everyone sighed, this sled, when it snows, is really a fetish, much better than a carriage.
And it only needs three dogs to pull it up quickly, not even a horse.
Only Cheng Yaojin could not stop shouting: "Drive...drive..."
The three dogs galloped hard.
The sled carrying Cheng Yaojin also galloped away.
After a while, Cheng Yaojin was tired.
The most important thing is that he was shivering from the blow.
Chen Chu rode a sled and was fully armed, but he was unarmed.
The cold wind was blowing on the face like a knife, the feeling was too violent.
So he hurriedly shouted: "Woo..."
The three dogs did not stop and continued to gallop forward.
"Call..."
Useless!
Cheng Yaojin was in a hurry.
Seeing this, he bent down hastily and grabbed the rope behind the three dogs, trying to stop them.
He jerked.
The three big yellow dogs did not stop, but suddenly turned sharply to the left rear.
The sled didn't turn around, but went straight ahead.
puff.
Cheng Yaojin fell headfirst from the sleigh, plunged into the snow with his head on the ground, and planted on the ground like a big radish.
Li Er and the others in the distance turned pale with fright, and hurried over.
The three big yellow dogs were standing by the side pulling the overturned sled with confused faces, looking curiously at Cheng Yaojin's strange posture.
Chen Chu got up personally, and together with Changsun Wuji and others, pulled Cheng Yaojin out of the snow.
After careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief. Old Cheng's body was strong and the snow was deep enough, so there was nothing wrong with him. After cleaning up the snow on his face, hair, and ears, Old Cheng made another hero.
Cheng Yaojin patted the snow on his body, looked at the three dogs with dissatisfaction, and said, "Fifth brother, you three are probably stupid dogs, why are you so disobedient?"
Chen Chu almost fainted, and said, "Fourth Brother, they are dogs, not horses. Can he understand you if you shout?"
Cheng Yaojin was at a loss for words.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Cheng Yaojin asked depressedly: "Then what should I say?"
Chen Chu said: "These three dogs were trained by my subordinates, and they can completely understand simple commands, such as stop, hurry up, and so on."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened: "Can you still be this powerful?"
Chen Chu nodded.
In fact, he didn't believe it at first.
But these three dogs were trained by his new guard, Xue Rengui. After seeing them personally, Chen Chu discovered that Xue Rengui was not only excellent in martial arts, but also familiar with military books, and he was also a good dog trainer.
Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it, so he plucked up his courage and tried again.
Sure enough, the three dogs could understand simple commands.
Cheng Yaojin said to Chen Chu as if he had found a treasure, "Fifth brother, lend me the dog and the sled for a few days..."
Chen Chu: "..."
Before he agreed, Cheng Yaojin had already taken a sled and left for a long distance.
Chen Chu knew that Lao Cheng did not borrow this word in his life dictionary.
These three dogs and a sledge must never be taken back.
Changsun Wuji and the others stared at Chen Chu with great interest, without blinking their eyes.
Chen Chu touched his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Fang Xuanling chuckled, and said, "Chen Chu, do you have any more sleds and dogs? I'll bring some to this old man."
It turned out that these guys were the idea of sledding.
Chen Chu was speechless for a while, and said: "If you want a sled and a well-trained dog, go to Duke Lu's mansion and find Xue Rengui, but the price is not cheap."
Well trained big yellow dog.
Ready-made sleds.
Coupled with a suit of equipment, Chen Chu's price is very expensive.
Wang Gui laughed and said, "Don't look down on me, boy, are we people who are short of money?"
Everyone present laughed.
Everyone was very anxious, wishing they could find that person named Xue Rengui right away.
However, everyone did not leave.
The reason why he didn't leave was because he wanted to see how Chen Chu would perform next.
Seeing that Chen Chu didn't speak, Li Er asked, "Chen Chu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Chen Chu was at a loss.
Didn't you call me here?
What do I want to tell you?
He looked at Li Er dumbfoundedly.
Li Er looked at him expectantly.
It seemed that if he didn't say anything, the atmosphere would only become more and more silent and embarrassing.
So Chen Chu scratched his head, looked at the heavy snow, and suddenly said: "Father, I... What I want to say is that there will be a war between Tang and Tubo in the near future..."
What?
This is not the answer Li Er, Changsun Wuji and others want at all.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Chu to come and beg for mercy.
Unexpectedly, instead of begging for mercy, this kid actually said such a sentence.
Changsun Wuji said unhappily: "Chen Chu, don't talk nonsense..."
Chen Chu waved his hand and analyzed: "My lord, grandson, I am not talking nonsense. Back then, the Tubo envoy Senuo Gongzan was sent to the Tang Dynasty to show off his might, but in the end he returned in desperation and lost the horses, cattle and sheep. It was agreed that Xeno Gongzan would send horses, cattle and sheep to Chang'an before the Chinese New Year, and the Chinese New Year would be a few days later, but he didn't even see a single horse. Yes, then there is only one fight... I heard that Tsanpo of Tubo is Songtsan Gampo. He is young, but he unified Tubo in just a few years. He has a strong army and a strong ambition... "
In history, Songtsan Gampo was indeed a hero.
Before this person married Princess Wencheng, he had already fought Datang many times.
At the beginning, Datang didn't take it seriously, so he suffered a lot.
However, Chen Chu's words were not convincing.
Everyone present, including Li Er, thought that Chen Chu was making alarmist remarks.
Hou Junji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, explained: "Chen Chu, you underestimate my Tang army too much. There are troops guarding all over the border, and there are countless scouts looking for Tubo's movements. Up to now, no urgent report has been received from the border. , It just shows that the two countries are in peace."
Chen Shuda, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Chen Chu, don't rely on His Majesty's favor and just talk nonsense. A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites received a letter from Senuo Gongzan. Cattle and sheep are still on the way, delayed the trip, after the spring, they must be sent to Chang'an, take a look, does this look like a war with Tang Dynasty?"
Li Er also said: "Chen Chu, the love ministers are right. In the future, you can't talk nonsense. If someone with a heart finds out, they will think that you want to provoke a war between the two countries. Do you understand?"
No one chose to believe Chen Chu.
……
Chapter 194 Stubborn child
Chen Chu wanted to say something else.
But he saw Li Er waving at him.
Chen Chu stopped talking and left silently.
When he came, he came by dog sled, but now he could only walk back, and silently scolded Cheng Yaojin in his heart.
By the way, he scolded the short-sighted Li Er and other natives.
After Chen Chu left, Li Ercai put on a straight face and said seriously: "My dear friends, what do you think of Chen Chu's words?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Li Er nodded and said: "I also thought that Chen Chu was only alarmist and not credible, but you must not spread this matter, you must keep it secret, you understand?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked at Chen Chu's back enviously.
They all understood that His Majesty Li Er was here to protect Chen Chu.
Just imagine, if Chen Chu's words are spread, will it cause panic? If it is known by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they will all jump out and scold Chen Chu.That kind of pressure was not something that Chen Chuyijie could withstand.
But Li Chengqian, who was next to him, looked at the heavy snow all over the sky, but suddenly became thoughtful.
……
Chen Chu returned to Duke Lu's mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Cheng Yaojin playing dog sledding in the yard, despite his age, he was still enjoying himself.
Chen Chu called Xue Rengui over and said, "Ah Gui, you go and watch at the door. Someone will come to you to buy a dog sled. Well, the price should be more than a hundred guan."
One hundred strings?
Xue Rengui's eyes widened.
Dog sledding is nothing special.
