The Ministry of War, Li Ji's office, Luo Zhang, Li Ji, and Li Jing sat together. Li Jing's apprentice Su Dingfang stood behind Li Jing, looking honest and honest, but if you look into his eyes, you can tell There is a hint of cunning, and it is obvious that this guy's honesty and honesty are all fake.
After hearing Luo Zhang actually said that the military merits gained by following him were no less than those obtained by following his master Li Jing, Su Dingfang's eyes flashed, and he was slightly surprised in his heart. He didn't understand why Luo Zhang could say such a thing.
Before this, Su Dingfang did not agree with His Majesty's edict. In his opinion, following Luo Zhang is not as good as following the master. Who knows what to do with Luo Zhang, and he is afraid that he will not get any military merit by then. , then he missed an excellent opportunity for promotion during the Northern Expedition. It is inevitable to feel regret in his heart, but he has to listen to His Majesty's will.
But now Luo Zhang actually dares to say such things in front of his master and Master Li Ji. It must not be without purpose. There must be something he doesn't know. Is this his chance?
Li Jing was also surprised. He had never underestimated Luo Zhang. Ever since he saw the evolution diagram of the attack on Gaoguli that Luo Zhang drew during his scientific research, Luo Zhang's military talent had been affirmed by him. If it weren't for Luo Zhang, He has become His Majesty's son-in-law, and he is determined to recruit him as his son-in-law. The future prospects of such a person are limitless, so naturally he must take action as soon as possible.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, Luo Zhang is now the Marquis of Lantian County, and the right minister of the Ministry of War. You have to know how old Luo Zhang is. He is eighteen years old. The eighteen-year-old Marquis, the right minister of the Ministry of War, even In times of war, it was not easy to make a king or a marquis, not to mention that this was not an era of war.
This is nothing. Li Jing calculated that it only took four months for Luo Zhang to go from a male in Lantian County to a marquis in Lantian County. In four months, he passed through baron, viscount, earl, and even the fourth marquis. A title, almost one level per month. If Luo Zhang is allowed to participate in the Northern Expedition again, won't he become a county official when he comes back?
This is why after Li Jing received His Majesty's order, he did not help Su Dingfang to reject His Majesty immediately. Instead, he accepted the edict and wanted to see why His Majesty issued such an edict, so he brought Su Dingfang to the Ministry of War today.
And after hearing Luo Zhang's guaranteed words, Li Jing knew that he had received the edict correctly. His Majesty must have entrusted Luo Zhang to do something he didn't know about, and Luo Zhang needed help around him. , and then assigned Su Dingfang to Luo Zhang, and if this thing is done well, there will definitely be a lot of merit, so it is not bad for Su Dingfang to follow Luo Zhang.
Although he was curious about what Luo Zhang was going to do, Li Jing also knew that there were some things that His Majesty did not say, and that was not what he should know. When it was time to know, he would naturally know, and he still had this kind of consciousness.
Li Ji on the side was also very surprised after hearing Luo Zhang's words. He didn't know that His Majesty actually gave Luo Zhang other things to do. It seems that Luo Zhang's failure to come to take up his post was not due to Luo Zhang himself. It must have been Luo Zhang's fault. Something has delayed me.
This person couldn't think too much. Before Luo Zhang opened his mouth, Li Ji and Li Jing had already figured out many things.
Looking at the three people who were silent, Luo Zhang blinked, feeling a little funny in his heart. He silenced these three people with just one sentence. If he told them what he was going to do, he was afraid that these three people would be shocked. Nothing more to add.
"Luo Zhang, I will leave the formula to you. You don't have to be polite to him. He can do whatever he is told. If he dares not to listen to you, just tell me and I will treat him!" Li Jing ordered Luo Zhang said.
"Hahaha, Master Li Jing doesn't have to be like this. You don't have to go through life and death with me. With Master Su's skills, you can definitely do it!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was really worried that Luo Zhang was going to do something big, and it would be too dangerous. Now that he got Luo Zhang's guarantee, he felt relieved.
"Dingfang, please don't act out of anger when following Mr. Luo. You must listen to Mr. Luo in everything. Do you understand?" Li Jing turned to look at Su Dingfang and said.
"Teacher, don't worry, the students will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations!" Su Dingfang promised with clasped fists.
Now that Li Jing is here, Luo Zhang naturally can't let him go. They gave him Su Dingfang at least, so he still has to treat him to dinner.
Originally, it was said that Li Ji was here to help Luo Zhang, but in the end it became Luo Zhang's invitation. Of course, this didn't matter. Luo Zhang ran a restaurant anyway, so a banquet was nothing. The most important thing was to be happy.
However, what Luo Zhang didn't know was that when he and Li Jing and others were exchanging cups, Li You in the Prince of Chu's Mansion had been holding a grudge since he was humiliated by Luo Zhang last time. At the same time, he was also thinking about Mei Niang. But thinking about it day and night, he couldn't help himself when he thought of Mei Niang. He urged the housekeeper every day to ask what the situation was.
But since the last encounter with King Chu, Wu Shaobin, in order to ensure the safety of Mei Niang, would be followed by a team of Luo family guards whenever Mei Niang went out to protect Mei Niang's safety. This made the housekeeper who had been following Mei Niang very difficult.
After all, with a team of Luo family guards following him, it would not be easy for him to kidnap Meiniang smoothly. He would have to find at least twice as many people as the Luo family guards to succeed. Of course, people are not a problem. The problem is that this is Chang'an. The city is not the fiefdom of the King of Chu. He can plunder as he pleases without anyone daring to say anything. As long as there is a slight disturbance here, the City Defense Department will come. Once discovered by the people of the City Defense Department, not only will the plan be ruined, They couldn't eat and walked around. Your Majesty will definitely blame the King of Chu. Even relegating him to his fiefdom is considered a light thing. More importantly, Luo Zhang is a popular person around your Majesty. He might punish the King of Chu after knowing his evil deeds. will be more severe.
"Butler, butler, what's going on? Why hasn't it been successful yet? Didn't you tell me it was okay? Huh?" King Chu scolded the butler in front of him.
"My lord, you also know how careful Luo Zhang is. He actually sent a team of people to follow his wife. We have no chance of capturing her!" the housekeeper said with a wry smile.
"No chance? Why did I raise such a stupid person like you? Will the beauty enter the store to buy things?" King Chu asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Luo Zhang will naturally go into the store when she is shopping!" the housekeeper said without knowing why.
"Then when she buys things, will the guards follow her in?" King Chu asked again.
"Well? That's right. When Mrs. Luo Zhang goes shopping, the guards are usually outside the store. As long as we take action in the store and kidnap her, wouldn't it be unknowing? The prince is the prince, and he can think of such a method. , I’m not as good as that!” the butler said with bright eyes.
"Don't flatter me here. Now that you know how to do it, why don't you kidnap her? What a bunch of losers!" Li You scolded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away! I promise I won't keep Your Majesty waiting any longer!" The housekeeper flattered and stepped back to arrange for more people.
Halfway through Luo Zhang's drink, the system's beeps began to flash the screen crazily. To Luo Zhang's surprise, it was not Liu Tao but Li You who flashed the screen.
What does Li You want to do? Why did it start to refresh the screen at this time? Could it be that he still doesn't want to give up and wants to attack Mei Niang?
It shouldn’t be, Shao Bin filmed the Luo family’s guards following Meiniang. The King of Chu wasn’t so bold, he was a strongman on the street, right?
While drinking, Luo Zhang kept thinking in his mind, always feeling a little uneasy.
When he excused himself to go to the toilet, Luo Zhang summoned Wu Shaobin.
"Uncle, there's something wrong with me. I always feel that something is going to happen at Mei Niang's place. You should go back immediately and help me take a look. If anything happens, come and report it immediately. Remember, don't hurt people's lives. We'll tell you everything when I get there!" Luo Zhang warned.
"What? You said something might happen to Mei Niang?" Wu Shaobin exclaimed with wide eyes.
"I just have some warning signs in my heart. This may not be true. Don't be too nervous. Just go back and take a look! It's best if nothing happens. Don't get excited if something happens. We'll talk about everything when I arrive!" Luo Zhang comforted Wu Shaobin. He said, this uncle is good at everything, but he can't control what happened to his beautiful mother, and he is afraid that his sister will be harmed in any way.
"Okay, I understand, I'll go back and take a look now!" Wu Shaobin said and turned around and left.
Seeing Wu Shaobin leaving in a hurry, Luo Zhang shook his head with a wry smile.
