Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Therefore, Chen Chu confused Zhang Sifeng and the others with a few questions.

Chen Chu looked at Zhang Sifeng and said with a smile: "Nephew Zhang, this is just a preliminary step. I can tell you that the pulleys my craftsmen used to bring down the boulder just now are also a kind of lever, but they are more advanced. , more sophisticated and complex, do you understand?"

"I……"

Zhang Sifeng was speechless.

Chen Chu waved his hand: "You guys, you are too old to study hard. I am so disappointed in you..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Chu Bi, let's go!"

"set off!"

"set off!"

The ox carts and carriages have already been tied to the four-wheeled carts under the boulder.

The craftsmen also pulled long ropes ahead.

Chen Chu gave an order, and the four-wheeled vehicle transporting the boulder started slowly.

The boulder, which looked so heavy that no one could move it, seemed a little light on top of dozens of four-wheeled vehicles.

Yuan Tiangang looked at the huge convoy, and at the lever beside Chen Chu that no one had removed, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

He Nuo Nuo said to himself: "We cultivators have always wanted to surpass the power of nature, but for thousands of years, no one has been able to do it. Now, the younger brother has actually done it. Could it be that what he practiced is the authentic Taoist fairy?" Art? And all of us who practice are just small ways?"

Thinking about it, he said to the people around him: "Come here, take this lever away and bring it back to the Three-day Temple. I'm an old man, I have to think about it..."

Zhang Sifeng stepped forward and said: "Master, these wooden poles are not worth mentioning..."

Yuan Tiangang said displeased: "What do you know? Maybe there is a deep meaning in it... Nephew, now that the matter of the holy stone has been resolved, the Baiyun Temple will definitely be affected. You have to take care of yourself."

With that said, Yuan Tiangang left in a hurry.

……

In the early morning, on the tower of Chunming Gate.

The city gate has not been opened yet.

In the distance, it was foggy.

This heavy fog will not dissipate until the sun rises.

A soldier rubbed his sleepy eyes, leaned on a spear, and looked out of the city.

Usually at this time, quite a few people had already gathered outside the city.

They are all those low-level people who cannot gain a foothold in Chang'an City and can only live outside the city.Seeing that these guys couldn't even enter the city, the soldier's depressed mood of standing guard all night will be wiped away.

But something is wrong today.

He stared wide-eyed and looked down, but did not see the gathered people.

Instead, they heard uniform footsteps and shouts.

"One two one!"

"One two one!"

The voice is getting closer.

Then, the soldiers saw dozens of horses suddenly coming out of the thick fog in the distance.

Then, a dark, extremely long and gigantic thing, which looked like a stone, came straight towards Yongning Gate.

The soldier screamed: "Mother, it's so big, I've never seen such a big siege log..."

The so-called siege logs are made of thick tree trunks with iron sheets wrapped in front, and are used to knock open the city gates during siege.

This soldier had also participated in the war, but he had never seen such a mighty siege log.

……

Chapter 219 Demolition of Chang'an City

The soldier froze for a moment.

After a long time, when he saw that the boulder had reached the city, he shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The soldiers not far away, as well as the city guard, rushed over in a hurry.

The city guard is a middle-aged man with a beard.

He was also stunned when he saw the situation under the city.

So he shouted: "You are so courageous to attack Chang'an City..."

A horse rushed out from the city, and a young man shouted, "Shi Ada, open your dog eyes. I am Cheng Chubi. This is the gate that my uncle brought from Zhongnan Mountain. Open the gate quickly. We Bring the stones in."

After Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he said to Chen Chu who was beside him: "Uncle, this is all calculated by me. Today, it happened that Shi Ada came to guard the Chunming Gate. This man named Shi was my father's personal soldier at the beginning. My father Treat him well, he is also a loyal and honest person, I asked him to open the door, but he dare not not open it."

Chen Chu nodded and looked at Cheng Chubi appreciatively.

For such a huge object to be transported to Chang'an City, there would be too much movement, which would not only disturb the Jingzhao Mansion, but also the imperial court, so it was impossible to get in easily.

On the tower, Shi A stared wide-eyed, watched carefully, and said excitedly: "So it's the second young master, the second young master, I'm afraid it's wrong for you to bring such a big thing in, why don't I ask General Zhang for instructions first?" some time?"

Cheng Chubi was immediately annoyed, and said: "Shi Ada, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. I knew you were such a worthless person. I shouldn't have let my father save you and let you die in the Western Regions... ...Hurry up and open the door, you are a city guard, what are you afraid of, if the court blames me, my father will stand up..."

"This……"

Shi Ada couldn't help but think of Cheng Yaojin who saved his life on the battlefield in the Western Regions.

He looked at Cheng Chubi again.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door and let the second young master bring the things in."

The soldiers immediately opened the door.

In order to avoid too much commotion, Shi Ada asked his soldiers to drive the people away.

He personally went out of the city to meet Cheng Chubi, and said, "Second young master..."

Cheng Chubi interrupted him and said: "Shi Ada, I saw you right, don't worry, if something happens, I'll go to my father for help, and you will be fine."

Even so, Shi Ada was still a little apprehensive.

After all, this matter is not ordinary.

At this moment, Zhu Neng and others came back and said to Chen Chu: "Boss, it's bad, this city gate is too small, the head of the stone can go in, but the part under the feet can't get through..."

Chen Chu hurriedly patted his horse and took a look, only to see that the boulder had entered more than half of the city gate.

The back has exceeded the width of the city gate, and it is impossible to enter.

Cheng Chubi was also a little dumbfounded, and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

Shi Ada was on the sidelines, keeping a calm face, but he was a little happy in his heart.

Oops, it’s okay if you can’t get in!

It's okay if you can't get in!

Anyway, it's not that I don't open the door, it's that I opened the door, and you can't transport it in.

He wished that the boulder could be bigger, so that he couldn't get in at all.

Chen Chu frowned.

back out?

Can't get in?

This is not my style, Chen Chu.

Shi Ada came over and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, Second Young Master, why not enter through Yongning Gate, the gate of Chang'an City, Yongning Gate is the largest, you can definitely enter..."

Shi Ada is bringing misfortune to the east.

As long as the boulder is transported away and leaves Chunming Gate, it has nothing to do with him.

He looked at Chen Chu and Cheng Chubi expectantly.

But Chen Chu waved his hand: "No, Yongning Gate is wide, yes, but it takes a long circle around the city to reach my mansion. Not to mention many places in the city are narrow, I'm afraid it will crush the road, You must enter through the Chunming Gate..."

The most important thing is that Chen Chu's mansion is right next to the Chunming Gate, and you can almost reach it from the city gate. It's really not worthwhile to go around it. So many cattle and horses need to eat grass, and so many craftsmen need to eat...

Shi Ada clicked his tongue and said, "But, I can't get in here."

Chen Chu pointed to the city gate and said, "Tear down the city gate!"

Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up, he turned around and kicked Shi Ada's foot, and said, "Yes, yes, my uncle is right, can't you enter after tearing down the city gate?"

"puff!"

Shi Ada almost vomited blood. He grabbed Chen Chu's sleeve and said, "Young Master Chen, you can't do it. The city gate is a part of the city wall of Chang'an City. I have never heard of the demolition of the city gate. If Your Majesty knows , will definitely be furious, and the general will not be able to keep you..."

Cheng Chubi asked: "Shi Ada, will you tear it down?"

"Second young master, it cannot be demolished." Shi Ada was very firm this time.

It is a capital offense to tear down the city gate without permission.

Cheng Chubi said angrily, "I'll beat you to death..."

Shi Ada said very bachelorly: "Second young master, then you can kill me. If you kill me, you will only kill one, but if you want to tear down the city gate, my brothers and I will only have a dead end."

Cheng Chubi: "...you..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded on the city wall: "General Shi, please tear down the city gate."

Who?

Shi Ada looked up and saw two figures, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, appeared on the city wall.

Shi Ada was frightened and said: "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and see His Royal Highness King Jin."

The people who came were Prince Li Chengqian and King Jin Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Chu and asked, "Chen Chu, I heard that you transported a big guy back, did you bring anything delicious along the way?"

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Your Highness, there are quite a lot of delicious food, but it's just that they can't be delivered now."

Li Zhi looked at Shi Ada angrily: "Then why don't you quickly tear down the door and let Chen Chu bring things in?"

Shi Ada was dumbfounded.

Li Chengqian on the side said: "General Shi, send someone to open the gate of the city and let Chen Chu bring things in. This is what I ordered you to do. If something happens in the future, just say that I asked you to do it. Why not?" , don’t you even listen to my orders?”

Shi Ada looked at Chen Chu suspiciously.

He remembered that this Chen Chu was not a well-known figure.

Why did the crown prince and King Jin stand up to help him?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, tear down the city gate."

Without waiting for his men to do anything, Chen Chu said: "Old Shi, no need, your men are resting at the side, demolishing the wall, my men are professional..."

Zhu Neng and the others were ordered by Chen Chu to organize their staff and go forward to take out the tools. In the blink of an eye, they removed two huge gaps on both sides of the Chunming Gate.

Seeing Shi Ada, he was so distressed that he was about to faint.

He stood beside Cheng Chubi tremblingly, and asked in a low voice: "Second Young Master, this is a serious crime of beheading."

Cheng Chubi looked at him contemptuously, and asked, "Do you know why you are the one with the lowest status among my father's soldiers?"

"Why?"

Cheng Chubi explained: "It's because you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, Shi Ada, look, even the Crown Prince and King Jin have come forward, what else do you have to be afraid of?"

"But……"

"Shut up." Cheng Chubi waved his hand impatiently.

……

Chapter 220 Chunming Gate Was Destroyed

After opening two gaps in the Chunming Gate, the boulder was successfully transported into Chang'an City.

The huge transport convoy slowly headed towards the Chen Chu mansion under construction.
