After leaving the Secret Intelligence Service, Luo Zhang no longer cared about Wang Hu. He had only one fate, that is, life would be worse than death. Of course, he would not die for him now. After all, he still has great use. As for what will happen after he uses it up Only God knows what the outcome will be.
And he had more important things to do now. It was already noon when he walked out of the Secret Intelligence Department. Old God Cheng Yaojin was sitting on a pony and eating pears. He didn't know where he got this stuff. He looked still... It's quite fresh. The melons and fruits of the Tang Dynasty are said to be rare, but with Cheng Yaojin's identity, he can naturally get them.
"Hey, you're out? Everything is done, right?" Cheng Yaojin threw away the pear core, clapped his hands and stood up.
Luo Zhang didn't say anything, but walked to the small table next to the maza. He grabbed the pears on the table and gnawed them. He had been thirsty in the dungeon just now, and the pears were just enough to quench his thirst.
"Don't worry, this is all yours, eat whatever you want!" Cheng Yaojin snickered.
"Huh? Uncle Cheng, when did you become so generous? Eat whatever you want?" Luo Zhang grabbed two pears while eating and threw them to Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng!
"It's not that I'm being arrogant. Didn't I just say that this is all yours, so eat whatever you want!" Cheng Yao, the golden thief, said with a smile, like a big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit with evil intentions!
"They're all mine?" Luo Zhang was stunned, and then he thought of something. With a wave of his hand, the pear core in his hand hit Cheng Yaojin, and said: "You Cheng Yaojin, why are you so generous? , I’ve been working on it for a long time. This is what my family gave me to eat. You just eat it, and you still use my family’s things as a favor. What kind of person are you!"
Cheng Yaojin avoided the pear core on one side and laughed loudly: "I told you before, but you didn't understand and didn't care about my business."
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes speechlessly, and did not care about Cheng Yaojin. Instead, he greeted: "Let's go, find a place to eat first, and we have to rush after eating."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up. It would definitely be a good thing to have dinner with Luo Zhang. The old man Yuchi Jingde was envious of him before. Everyone knew that Luo Zhang had fine wine, so how could he have less fine wine with him?
Sure enough, the place Luo Zhang took Cheng Yaojin to was the Tang Barbeque Shop. The food outside was not as delicious as the food at home.
Under Zhao Tianhu's almost flattering reception, Cheng Yaojin ate so much that he had a big belly and a round waist, and drank a lot of wine. He drank two gourds of Erguotou that Luo Zhang had left here, and when he wanted to drink the third gourd He was stopped by Luo Zhang. This was Erguotou, not Sanlejiang. It would be okay to drink a jar. This wine was very high. Two taels would be enough. How could you go on your way in the afternoon after drinking too much.
However, the last gourd did not escape, and was taken away by Cheng Yaojin. This old guy also took advantage of it.
Luo Zhang was also helpless about this. After eating and drinking, Luo Zhang asked Wu Shaobin and Shibaqi to go back first. After all, the family still needed to be taken care of, and it was impossible not to leave people alone. As for Chen Kuifeng, he followed Luo Zhang. Good to have someone to help.
While eating at the Datang BBQ restaurant, Luo Zhang changed into the court uniform of a fifth-grade military attache. Wearing a civilian uniform, he always felt that it was not as impressive as the military attaché uniform. This time he went out to do business, but Luo Zhang would not have the chance to attract attention. Miss the opportunity to shine like this.
After admonishing Wu Shaobin, Luo Zhang took Chen Kuifeng and Cheng Yaojin to the Zuowuwei camp outside Chang'an City.
There, Cheng Yaojin ordered a whole body of troops to follow Luo Zhang to do something. This was a matter assigned by His Majesty, so naturally he couldn't be careless.
When Luo Zhang and others left Chang'an City, a hundred miles away from Chang'an, Dou Jing was rushing towards Luoyang with several guards. He had to go. Things happened too suddenly in the morning, and there were still many things to do about food and grass. If the tail was not cleaned up, he would have to go to Luoyang to deal with it in person. He would not trust others to handle it.
Luo Zhang didn't know Dou Jing's whereabouts. Even if he knew, Luo Zhang wouldn't care, otherwise he wouldn't go to the dungeon to help Li Junxian solve the problem, but would rush to Luoyang as soon as possible.
On the way to Luoyang, Luo Zhang did not ask Cheng Yaojin to speed up. He just kept the same speed as usual. The reason for this was because there was a group of Zuowu Guards behind Luo Zhang. If not, what would happen to Luo Zhang? Maybe he changed his clothes and put on the uniform of a fifth-grade military attaché, wasn't it just for such a stunning scene?
He didn't see the people walking along the way pointing at him. The awe in their eyes made Luo Zhang feel very happy. This is how life should be in this world.
Faintly, Luo Zhang was even thinking about whether he would lead the army to the battlefield during the Northern Expedition against the Turks, but then he gave up this idea. With His Majesty's orders, there would be something wrong with Li Jing if he dared to disobey him. This guy A code based on the strictness of military orders, and any violation of military orders will be dealt with according to military law without mercy. This is why in history, when he encountered tragic situations later, no one stood up to speak for him. It was because he was offended by the harsh military laws. too many people.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhang became a little bored. After all, taking Zuo Wuwei to Luoyang and leading an army to fight to kill the enemy are two different things. One is to hold a family wine, and the other is to use real swords and guns!
"Master Cheng, how long will it take to get to Luoyang at our speed?" Luo Zhangduan immediately asked Cheng Yaojin according to his official position. After all, there are many people around, and the rules must be followed.
Hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, Cheng Yaojin pinched his beard and said: "It will take about half a day to travel. If we go faster, it will take about two hours. Now we are heading to Luoyang at our speed, and it will be almost dark."
Luo Zhang no longer wanted to show off, and gave Cheng Yaojin a roll of his eyes and said: "Then if you didn't tell me earlier, hurry up and hurry up. If you are late, we won't be able to enter the city!"
Galloping all the way and accelerating forward, Luo Zhang and Cheng Yaojin finally arrived at Luoyang City when the sun was about to set. The Luoyang City Guards personally came out of the city to greet them. He had already received the report that His Majesty's personal supervisory envoy was coming to Luoyang to investigate the granaries and grains. A missing case.
He also inquired about the person who came, and found out that he was the new civil and military champion of the Tang Dynasty, the newly minted fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Luo Zhang, the Zuowuwei Duwei!
This is a very popular figure at the moment, a popular figure in front of His Majesty. This person is here. Although he is a city guard, he does not dare to neglect Luo Zhang. Who knows if Luo Zhang can't find anything, he will report his secret to His Majesty. It's his fault, let him wear small shoes. Besides, even if he doesn't welcome Luo Zhang, he still has to welcome Cheng Yaojin who comes with Luo Zhang. This is a big boss and someone he must not offend.
Therefore, the defender of Luoyang City kept a low profile and personally went out of the city to greet him.
Luo Zhang is not the kind of arrogant person. When the city guard comes out of the city to greet him, he will not be as proud as Wei Yi, like a peacock with his nostrils in the sky. Instead, he dismounts his horse in advance and pays homage to the Luoyang city guard.
After learning that the Luoyang city guard's name was Pei Tong, Luo Zhang was slightly startled. It turned out to be the Pei family. No wonder he could achieve such a position. I thought that Pei Yuanqing was a fierce man who was not weaker than Luo Zhang's father Luo Cheng in the late Sui Dynasty. , but like Luo Cheng, he died too early, otherwise the Pei family's status in the Tang Dynasty would not be low. However, even if Pei Yuanqing died, the Pei family still occupied a place in the Tang Dynasty. Although it was not as good as those top families, it still had a place in the Tang Dynasty. It is also a first-class family, much stronger than the Luo family.
After some courtesy, Pei Tong welcomed Luo Zhang and Cheng Yaojin into the city, and personally held a banquet at the city lord's mansion to entertain the two. Luo Zhang didn't want to be so ostentatious. After all, he was here to investigate the case. , He was afraid of having a bad impact by eating and drinking like this. After all, Luoyang and the eighteen counties of Hongnong were still in a severe drought, and the people were still hungry. He not only wanted to find out the food and grass problem, but also solve the food and grass problem. The problem.
However, before these problems were solved, he started eating and drinking. It really shouldn't be done. Luo Zhang mentioned this to Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin beat him back. He should eat and drink. You should. Even if you don’t eat or drink, people still have to eat, so instead of letting people eat, it’s better to help them eat it yourself.
Luo Zhang thought, this is indeed the case. If you don't eat, people will still eat and drink. What you want to do is after all, it is the intention of others. If you don't give them face, how can they give you face and help you? Woolen cloth? After all, coming here to investigate the case still requires the cooperation of the Luoyang City Guards.
