Less than a hundred miles from Tianchuan City, the road began to get difficult.
The corruption in the Great Song's administration began during the reign of Emperor Ling, and due to overseas expenses, the treasury was not affluent, leaving no extra funds to maintain the official roads.
Over time, except for the section near the Capital, the official roads in other states and counties became dilapidated, with potholes everywhere. After a few months of spring rain, the roads became terribly muddy.
The jolting was one thing, but if a wheel accidentally got stuck in a water-filled pit, even a draft horse couldn't pull it out.
This situation had already happened several times.
Seeing the wheels stuck again, Chen Mo frowned and stepped out of the carriage, planning to continue on horseback.
His horse, the Snow Dragon Steed, was quite old. According to Xia Zhining, it was already seventeen, which for a horse, meant it was in its senior years.
