Luo Mansion, in the hall, Luo Zhang sat next to the great elder and asked with a smile what the great elder was doing today.
Luo Zhang knew the purpose of the Great Elder's visit. Li Xiaogong had greeted him in advance, but even without saying hello, Luo Zhang could have guessed the reason.
He and the eldest son's family have a feud, and they never interact with each other until they die. Everyone wants to kill the other, so would the Great Elder come to the house to build a relationship?
Don't be kidding, if Changsun Wuji hadn't been lying there, the two families would still be fighting.
Hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, the elder's mouth twitched. He didn't believe that Luo Zhang didn't know his purpose. Nowadays, the family master's affairs have been spread all over the city. With just a little inquiry, he can find out whether the family master is unconscious. Now the doctor is at a loss. At a loss, only Sun Simiao can save the matter.
If this news hadn't spread throughout the city, how could the iron shop have been tricked? Who would have dared to do such a thing when the owner was still intact? All of this happened because of the owner's downfall.
Taking a deep breath, the great elder suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone: "I came to visit you this time to ask for something!"
Luo Zhang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked slowly: "I wonder if the Great Elder has anything to ask of you? How can I help you? By the way, the relationship between our two families does not seem to be very good? Why did you come to my Luo Mansion? Come to beg me?"
Luo Zhang's series of questions made the great elder's face turn red, white, and black, and he was terribly gloomy, but he could not get angry and could only endure it. Not to mention the aggrievedness, it was the most aggrieved he had ever felt in his life.
"Hopefully, Luo Hou, you don't remember the faults of villains. I did offend you a lot in the past, but now, the head of the family is unconscious and the family of the eldest grandson is in danger. If the head of the family doesn't wake up, I'm afraid... I'm afraid. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the eldest son’s family disappeared in smoke, so the old man begged Luo Houneng to inform Sun Simiao, the whereabouts of the miracle doctor Sun, in order to save the family head’s life!” As he said this, the eldest elder was about to kneel down before Luo Zhang.
He's already here, so there's no need to worry about his face. No one is here to see him anyway. As long as he can save the family leader, he is willing to kowtow, let alone kneel down.
Luo Zhang couldn't bear the kneeling of the great elder. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift the arm of the great elder and said, "Don't do this. If word of your kneeling spreads, you won't know what I did to you. You have something to say. I will naturally help those who can, but don’t embarrass me if you can’t help. What do you think?”
When Luo Zhang said this, the elder could no longer kneel down. He stood up slowly, sat down and sighed: "My Changsun Mansion has assassinated you several times. I know you wish that my Changsun Mansion would disappear into thin air, and only the women and children of the Changsun Mansion would disappear." They are innocent, I beg Luo Hou to let those women and children go when my Changsun Mansion is in dire straits, then I will be satisfied!"
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes when he heard these words. Why should I let the women and children of Changsun Mansion go? Doesn't this mean that it was his fault for not helping that caused the Changsun Mansion to disappear? And it was his fault that the women and children were displaced?
Mud, this old guy really knows how to take shit out of the pot. I don’t know whether your eldest grandson’s house exists or not, and what you do with labor and management.
Of course, it is not that Luo Zhang does not want to see the Changsun Mansion fall, but it is not now. After all, Changsun Wuji is the pillar of the country. His fall will cause turmoil in the country. His Majesty's words to him also mentioned it. If possible, Let Chang Sun Wuji go for the time being.
However, the scale of how to release and how to help is in Luo Zhang's hands. Although he does not know the whereabouts of Sun Simiao, it is enough for people to believe that he knows.
After pondering for a while, Luo Zhang also sighed: "Why did the Great Elder say this? How can I, Luo Zhang, be the kind of person who is worse than a beast? No matter whether the Changsun Mansion disappears or not, I will not add insult to injury! You can rest assured on this ! As for your reason for coming, it’s not that I don’t want to help. I actually promised Divine Doctor Sun not to tell outsiders about his whereabouts. If I did, and Divine Doctor Sun would blame me, then I wouldn’t be able to live with it!”
Luo Zhang's words made the great elder's eyes light up, and hope ignited in his heart. Sure enough, Luo Zhang really knew the whereabouts of Sun Simiao. If Sun Simiao could be invited here, he would not only be able to save the life of the family leader, but also allow him to help His Majesty with his treatment. The problem of head ailments can be said to kill two birds with one stone. His Majesty will definitely miss his eldest grandson's family when the time comes.
Even though he has been in despair and suffered great losses during this period, as long as he has His Majesty's kindness, his Changsun Mansion will not fail.
Thinking of this, the great elder suppressed the excitement in his heart, swallowed his saliva and said: "Luo Hou, I hope you can help my Changsun Mansion for the sake of so many people in my Changsun Mansion who will soon be homeless on the streets. No matter what the conditions are, I, the Changsun Mansion, are willing to agree. I only ask for the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Sun. If Divine Doctor Sun is to blame, the Changsun Mansion will bear the responsibility and will never let Divine Doctor Sun blame you!"
Luo Zhang was waiting for the Great Elder's words. After hearing what he said, Luo Zhang did not speak immediately. Instead, he pretended to be deep in thought and weighed the pros and cons with his head lowered.
The great elder's eyes became brighter when he saw this. As long as Luo Zhang didn't refuse, there was hope. No matter what conditions he proposed, the great elder had already decided in his heart and agreed to them all.
"That's all, that's all. Although Changsun Wuji wanted to kill me, it was me who made him like this after all, and I wasn't hurt at all. So I won't mention it anymore. The Buddha said, saving one life is better than saving seven lives. Futu, I will be a good person for once and accumulate virtue for myself. I just hope that the Changsun Mansion will not do such villainous things in the future." Luo Zhang shook his head and said.
Hearing Luo Zhang's words, the great elder was overjoyed and almost held Luo Zhang in his arms and sang and danced to express his current excitement.
But before he could thank Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang spoke again: "You just said that you will agree to it no matter what the conditions are. It just so happens that I also want to trouble the Great Elder with something, but I don't know what the Great Elder wants!"
The great elder's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he was just happy for nothing. Regardless of Luo Zhang's condition, it further showed that Luo Zhang knew the whereabouts of Sun Simiao. Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to put forward his condition.
"It's no trouble or not. We are here to help each other. You come and I go. If you have anything to say, I won't hesitate to do anything I can!" The great elder patted his chest, pretending to be very happy, thinking in his heart. What conditions will Luo Zhang put forward?
"In this case, I'm not polite. I heard that Changsun's family has two iron mines dozens of miles outside Chang'an City. I want to build a batch of weapons for my Royal Navy these days. The demand is really too great. I thought it was too expensive to buy, and I didn’t have that much money, so I wanted to acquire two iron mines, mine the mines myself, and build weapons myself. This would be a lot more cost-effective. However, I asked around and found that there were only two iron mines, and This iron mine belongs to your eldest grandson's family. Originally I didn't think about it, but you also said today that any conditions are acceptable. I don't have any ideas. I just want these two iron mines. I don't know what the elder wants. How about the next one?"
"Of course, the Great Elder doesn't have to agree, I will still give you the address. After all, I have promised to give you the address, and I will never do anything like that!" Luo Zhang said slowly, and then picked up the tea. Zhan continued to drink his tea.
The Great Elder did not expect that Luo Zhang would actually make such a request for the two iron mines outside their Changsun family city. Those are the sources of raw materials for their iron smelting shop. Although they are not the most important source, their geographical conditions are good. , close to Chang'an, transportation is very convenient.
Why does Luo Zhang want these two mines? Is it really intended to be used to build weapons for the Royal Navy as it says?
Suddenly, the great elder seemed to have thought of something, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his anger almost burst out uncontrollably. Fortunately, he suppressed it, otherwise his purpose of coming to Luofu today would have been ruined.
You Luo Zhang, you are so scheming. I didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it. It turned out that you were the one responsible for the iron smelting shop. I asked myself how those eighteen people were so familiar. They seemed to have seen them somewhere. After a long time, Those eighteen people are the guards of your Luo Mansion, and you were responsible for all this from beginning to end, for the sake of the two mines outside Chang'an City.
Knowing Luo Zhang's methods and purpose, the Great Elder was helpless.
Falling out with Luo Zhang? Obviously unrealistic.
Reject Luo Zhang? This is even worse. If you refuse, Luo Zhang will indeed give you the address, but what he gives you is a fake address. If you search for a long time and find nothing, it will be a waste of time. Luo Zhang can completely shirk it when the time comes.
The great elder fell into deep thought for a moment, and Luo Zhang was not in a hurry. The old god was sitting there drinking tea. The one who was anxious now was not him, but the Changsun family. It was up to them how to choose. Naturally, he would not rush him. What.
