Luo Zhang was well aware of the thoughts in Li Shimin's words. His purpose was nothing more than to want him to do his best to serve him, build him a sea ship, and go to Penglai Island to obtain elixir to help him live forever.
The reason why he was asked to work hard to marry the princess back was to discourage him from making trouble every day. In Luo Zhang's view, being first in the martial arts examination and ranking third in the imperial examination were just a proof of his hard work.
Of course, it can also be heard from Li Shimin's words that even if he did not get the first place in the martial arts examination and the top three in the imperial examination, His Majesty would probably marry Princess Gaoyang to him, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Li Shimin's arrangement left Luo Zhang speechless. If you want to marry, just marry him. If you have to take the martial arts test or the scientific test, isn't this just looking for trouble? It made him worry a lot in vain a few days ago. He thought he would take the martial arts test. , what will happen if you don’t do well in the scientific examination? It turns out that it took me a long time to do it, and this is what happened.
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Luo Zhang didn't want to take any more martial arts or science tests, but he thought of Changsun Chong. Luo Zhang was determined to take part in the martial arts and science tests.
I said I won't let Changsun Chong live a good life, so how can I break my promise? I won't let him look good this time. Mad, you actually dare to let people work for you, you are really yours!
When Li Junxian and King Wei arrived, Luo Zhang naturally had to entertain them. Seeing King Wei's attitude, he had no intention of leaving. He held a wine gourd and kept smelling it, which made Luo Zhang roll his eyes.
After asking his grandma to prepare a table of food, Luo Zhang greeted the two of them in the hall. Of course, he was accompanied by Wu Shaobin. This guy was also a good drinker. He was still very reserved in prison, but when he arrived at Luo Mansion, he seemed to have disappeared. The restraints and knots in my heart have been lifted, and I feel a bit like letting myself go.
This forced Luo Zhang to take out three more gourds, one for each person. Each wine gourd contained about three taels of Erguotou.
It's just enough for three people. Three more people will definitely get drunk. This is Erguotou with 56 degrees Celsius, not Sanlejiang with more than 20 degrees Celsius.
During the dinner, Luo Zhang asked King Wei carefully what he meant by what he said before.
Hearing Luo Zhang's question, King Wei was in a good mood while drinking Erguotou and said: "You don't know, my sister is not actually as cold to you as she seems on the surface. On the contrary, she cares about you. After knowing that you were assassinated, She was so anxious that she wanted to come to you right away. If I hadn’t pulled her away, she would be sitting here right now!"
Luo Zhang still couldn't understand why Princess Gaoyang liked him so well. This was unreasonable. The two of them didn't have much contact. It was impossible to say that they liked him. Could it be said that it was love at first sight? Gao Yang was embarrassed to show it, so he deliberately showed his dislike for himself?
Fortunately, King Wei didn't know Luo Zhang's thoughts. If he had known, he would have scolded Luo Zhang. He has seen narcissistic people, but he has never seen anyone more narcissistic than me. I fell in love at first sight, and my face was full of anger when I saw you.
Just as the four guests and the host were enjoying themselves, another uninvited guest came to the door.
When he saw the person coming, Luo Zhang sighed in his heart and walked silently to his house.
"Hahaha, Luo Zhang, bring the good wine quickly, I'm so hungry!" An old man with yellow teeth and a wretched look walked into the hall and kept shouting.
Seeing the visitor, everyone else at the table stood up one after another and looked at the visitor in surprise, their mouths opened wide, not expecting him to come to Luo Zhang.
At the same time, everyone will be thinking, Luo Zhang has a good relationship with him?
Especially King Wei and Li Junxian, they did not know anything about the old man and Luo Zhang. Only Wu Shaobin knew about the relationship between the old man and Luo Zhang.
"Uncle, why are you here?" King Wei bowed and saluted.
Li Junxian and Wu Shaobin also saluted. After all, the person coming was the King of Hejian County, and they were not someone they could ignore.
"What? You can come but I can't?" Li Xiaogong rolled his eyes at King Wei, while his nose kept twitching.
"Okay, you guys don't call me old man when you're drinking here. Bad, so bad, you heartless boy!" Li Xiaogong cursed Li Tai angrily.
Li Tai drooped his head with an instructive expression on his face. How could he dare to have a bad temper towards this uncle, whom even his father respected?
"Okay, stop yelling. Who knew you, an old guy, would escape from that prison? I thought you would stay in there forever and never come out! Here, you can shut up now!"
Luo Zhang, who came from the house, said angrily, and at the same time handed Li Xiaogong a wine gourd.
Seeing the wine gourd, Li Xiaogong swallowed his saliva, quickly opened the lid of the gourd, took a sip, and let out a long breath.
"Good wine, good wine, I don't know how you brewed this kind of wine, you are such a freak!" Li Xiaogong said as he ran to the table and sat down.
Luo Zhang didn't care. He sat next to him, stared at Li Xiaogong, and whispered to him: "I asked you, what do you think? Why did you come to me? Don't tell me that you just want to drink. !”
Luo Zhang knew Li Xiaogong very well, even better than anyone else. After all, history books have written a lot about him. Don't look at Li Xiaogong's cynical appearance. In fact, those are just appearances. The real him is An old fox no worse than Changsun Wuji.
Otherwise, who would have gone to jail to dispel His Majesty's doubts when they realized that His Majesty was afraid of him? This kind of secretive old fox has his own reasons for everything he does. Luo Zhang doesn't believe that he came to him from prison just because of a little drink.
Li Xiaogong glanced at Luo Zhang and said nothing.
Luo Zhang immediately understood what Li Xiaogong meant. There were too many people here and it was not suitable for talking. At that moment, Luo Zhang stopped asking any more questions and started to exchange glasses with Li Xiaogong.
King Wei's jaw dropped when he saw this scene. He thought to himself, is this Luo Zhang so powerful? Even his uncle can have fun over wine?
King Wei shuddered when he thought that his uncle was a murderer. But being so close to his uncle, Luo Zhang really underestimated him.
With the addition of Li Xiaogong, the originally lively wine party naturally seemed a bit dull. Of course, the dullness was caused by the three kings of Wei and had nothing to do with Luo Zhang and Li Xiaogong. The two chatted about everything.
As a later generation, Luo Zhang naturally knew a lot. Li Xiaogong traveled far and wide and knew more than Luo Zhang. But often when Luo Zhang told some interesting things, Li Xiaogong would be surprised and kept asking Luo Zhang more questions. Luo Zhang was as big as two when it came to details. Most of the interesting things he mentioned were just what he saw online. If he was asked to tell details, how would he know the details?
Sitting here is very boring. King Wei and Li Junxian left early after drinking. As for Wu Shaobin, he also went out to arrange for the servants he had recruited before. At this time, he had already served as a Luo Mansion guard. The leader and butler calls himself!
After everyone in the hall left, Luo Zhang put down his cup, looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Old man, tell me, what do you want from me? Let's talk about it first. Do you want to borrow money from me or anyone else? So if you do these two things, stop talking!"
Li Xiaogong glared at Luo Zhang fiercely. Speaking of which, Luo Zhang was the first person who could talk to him like this. Back then, when he had not devalued himself, anyone who saw him would not talk down to him. His enemies would even hear his name. He was frightened after hearing the news, but Luo Zhang was good. He really thought of him as an old man.
But it was because of Luo Zhang's casualness that he liked him very much, but he did come here today to find something to do with Luo Zhang.
"I won't be nagging you anymore. I came to you today because of someone's entrustment!" Li Xiaogong also put down his wine glass and said.
"Oh? Being entrusted by someone? The person who can entrust you to entrust him has a high status, right?" Luo Zhang had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't understand why the person asked Li Xiaogong to come and talk to him instead of looking for him himself.
"You kid, you are such a little fox. I don't know what's in your head. How come you can guess everything!" Li Xiaogong tapped Luo Zhang's head with chopsticks.
"Tch, calling me a little fox makes you no longer an old fox. Just tell me if you have something to say. What do you mean?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Actually, I shouldn't be the one to do this, but who asked me to have a good relationship with you? That person asked me to talk to you, and I'm afraid I will have to come forward to represent this matter!" Li Xiaogong He sighed and said, he originally wanted to stay in prison for a while and then leave Chang'an when he was released, but he didn't want to.
