The atmosphere in Jiujiu Pavilion suddenly became weird.
The owner of the ivory white lion folding fan obviously had a good background. The boy who had stayed outside the restaurant had just entered the door and saw that the owner's seat was occupied by the strange man and woman. He immediately wanted to step forward and reveal his identity, but when he saw Lu Ze and Chen Yu and Chen Yu had outstanding looks, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The imperial capital of Liyang, at the feet of the emperor.
There are really too many wealthy and powerful disciples in this Longtan, and there are many who act arrogantly and domineeringly, but most of them have developed a pair of discerning eyes and know what kind of face they should use when facing whom.
Even servants are no exception.
Therefore, the boy first greeted his companions, and then quickly ran back to the house to report.
Chen Yu lowered his eyebrows, as if aware of Lu Ze's thoughts, and heard the woman's melodious voice speaking softly: "Are you just thinking about living the addiction of a domineering young master before leaving Kyoto today?"
Lu Ze coughed twice and finally couldn't help but laugh: "Do you understand me so well?"
The beautiful woman in black frowned slightly: "But right now, shouldn't you be doing something popular in Kyoto? Why..."
Speaking of this, Chen Yu herself felt extremely strange. Then she remembered that it turned out that there seemed to be no age difference between herself and the young man in front of her. It was just that the latter did many things that made it difficult for people to use their age to define the frame. Restrain him.
Lu Ze shook his head: "Second Master also advised me a few days ago that I can hold a few banquets here and entertain more dignitaries from Kyoto so that everyone can meet and connect with each other. But I still refused. , this kind of thing is completely leftover from my fourth brother's play, and it is too conventional. There are always some differences in our identities between him and me. The most important thing is that what I want to take is not this conventional path."
"Right now, apart from my two masters and the Yue family and the Lu family, only the Western Region Buddhist Sect is publicly standing behind me, and the Qingci prime minister, Zhao Danping, is enough for me."
"These dignitaries in Kyoto are all too shrewd masters. They only serve others and have no real interests to impress them. No family is willing to really intervene in the royal family's party struggle. The so-called peaceful and prosperous age, if nothing happens, for those big families This is the best way.”
"That's why I say that the old Lu family member, Shang Zhuguo, is extremely courageous."
Lu Ze had a slight smile on his face.
Peaceful times?
At least it seems so now.
Maybe even Zhang Julu, the chief minister who is known as the prime minister for a thousand years, would not have expected that so many things would happen in Liyang in the future, and the whole world of the Central Plains would change drastically because of this.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
The whole room burst into laughter, attracting the other diners in the restaurant to look at them. One of them deliberately joked: "Brother Lin, it seems that your reputation in Kyoto is not loud enough. I am waiting for your old man to officially take that place." If you take away the code of Dai Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, this boy will probably know how powerful you are. Boy, do you know whose son this is?"
The man waved his hand casually, as if he didn't like people talking about his family background.
What if it is the youngest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance?
Then can we do whatever we want in this important land of the capital and at the feet of the emperor?
"No, no, no, don't say that. My father is only in the agency department for the time being."
Lin Huanke has always been a reasonable person, especially when facing the beauty. The young master raised his hand to Lu Ze and made a gesture to get up.
"Adults do not remember the faults of villains. You get up first. I will talk to this girl about the principles and rules. Otherwise, you will be so impatient when you first arrive in Tai'an City. If you really mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, I'm afraid... You don’t even know when a disaster is coming.”
The helpers nearby laughed loudly: "That boy, you are very lucky today. Not everyone can sit and drink with our Mr. Lin. The ivory jade fan in your hand is Mr. Lin specially prepared this meeting gift for Li Baishi, the most famous courtesan in the world. If you are more sensible, I might be able to take you to Cuiyuan Pavilion later to see the charming charm of the Baishi girl."
The eyes of these helpers also quickly turned to Chen Yu.
Everyone just felt that Lin Huan was really lucky. He failed to see Li Baishi who was thanking guests behind closed doors, but they did not expect to see a peerless beauty in this small restaurant.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Robbery of civilian girls in Tai'an City rarely happens, but it is definitely not unheard of. As long as the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors can be investigated clearly in advance, and then we can do it later, as long as there is no big fuss in the capital, things will naturally be very serious. It will pass soon.
Lu Ze smiled when he heard this and looked at Chen Yu deliberately: "Oh? Li Baishi?"
The latter glared at Lu Ze with an unparalleled look. His stunning beauty even made Lin Huan and his party weak in their legs and feet. They felt that such a peerless beauty was really rare in the world, and was probably not inferior to that Rouge Ping beauty.
Lin Huan licked his lips, his eyes even more strange.
He was originally the youngest son of the Lin family. He was preceded by his father Lin Mingyuan, who was an official to the household minister. He also had two brothers who were admitted to the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Punishments. The eldest sister married into the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
Who in Tai'an City doesn't know the relationship between the Yongyi Houfu and the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan? Lin Huan had been pampered and raised in Tai'an City since he was a child. Even when he was a child, he would occasionally go in and out of the majestic Liyang Palace. He must not mess with his peers in the capital, greet them with a smile when meeting them, and pretend to be grandsons when they meet. , my heart is as clear as a mirror.
There are millions of people in the huge city of Tai'an. Of course, there are people whom Lin Huan can't afford to offend, and there are quite a few of them. But unfortunately, Lin Heng is not very familiar with these people. , these two unfamiliar faces in front of me are definitely not among this group.
At this moment, Lu Ze drank a cup of tea, and finally felt that there was no point in pretending to be a dandy and slapping him in the face. Just like playing chess, only those with equal chess skills can appreciate the fun of vertical and horizontal games.
Lu Ze waved his hands to the group of guys beside him boredly: "Come on, I've been chatting with you for such a long time, and coupled with these pairs of not-so-clean dog eyes, it's all you guys who have earned what happened today. , The young master of Dai Shangshu’s family? I’m almost scared to death.”
Chen Yu's laughter that followed seemed particularly harsh.
The mutton hot pot in Jiujiu Pavilion was filled with thick steam. Lu Ze's last words made everyone turn their heads in unison and face the upcoming conflict. If he could say what he just said in public, then this person The young man who brought the beauty to the restaurant must be no ordinary person.
However, several people with high status present were frowning and thinking about Lu Ze's identity. Only the old man seemed to recognize Lu Ze and was immediately shocked.
"The toad yawned so loudly."
"You little bastard, who is your father?"
Lin Huan had never experienced such humiliation. The gazes of others were like sarcastic knives piercing his body. So the young master of the bookstore took off his disguise and immediately pointed at Lu Ze's nose and cursed loudly.
Lu Ze had a strange look on his face, and he couldn't help but mourn for the Master Lin whom he had never met before.
Lin Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, has been in charge of the affairs of the Household Department since the death of the old minister a year ago. He stood out from the examination supervised by Zhang Julu, the first assistant, and had a master-student relationship with the first assistant. Over the years, he has He is a diligent and conscientious person in the court, and he can be regarded as an absolute representative of the humble family's position as a minister. The group of gangsters just said that the minister is expected to take off the word "generation" in front of him, which is definitely not groundless.
Lu Ze shook his head and pointed at Master Shangshu in the air. The latter almost instantly ran towards the rear until he hit the wall. The young master fell to the ground and fainted. No one present had ever seen such a fight scene before. The helpers were about to cry, but they were trembling with each other, almost wanting to leave first.
Lu Ze smiled and did not continue to take action. Even when he took action just now, he had too much energy left. He waved towards these people: "Take him away."
Lin Huan, who had woken up but pretended to be unconscious, had a bit of viciousness on his face. But when he was helped to the door, two guards with golden swords suddenly appeared in front of him. Lin Huan looked at the imperial-given sword. The signature golden sword, looking at the guard with long energy, his eyes widened.
Lu Ze raised his eyebrows.
Chen Yu became a little nervous.
I saw Mr. Sui Zhu's girl looking around after entering the house. When she saw Lu Ze, she waved to him enthusiastically, but she did not run directly over there as usual. Behind the respected princess, she waved to him. There was a tall man, the eldest prince Zhao Wu of Liyang Chao, with a gloomy face. He first glanced at Lin Huan and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and then sneered: "You have to compete with these guys for seats, and that's all you have. .”
Some of the people present did not know Lu Ze.
Because he didn't stay long in Tai'an City, and spent most of his time living in the palace.
But there are very few people who don't know the eldest prince and Bixia's favorite princess. Especially when the elegant empress walked into the restaurant with the support of her other son and daughter-in-law, everyone present wanted to prostrate themselves. Kneeling down to salute, Lin Huan and other dandy boys even knelt down early and did not dare to raise their heads. Fortunately, the Queen frowned and waved her hands and said a few words. These people quickly left with relief, leaving only the lively and noisy Jiujiu Pavilion far away. Lu Ze and Chen Yu.
The eldest prince Zhao Wu found a stool in front of Lu Ze and sat down. The man first glanced at the woman who was his fiancée, and then said calmly: "I heard that you killed that guy Xu Fengnian at Tiemenguan? Zizhen "Zi, you are really awesome. The dignified Prince Liyang somehow managed to hug Wang Xianzhi, a martial artist. Zhao Kai, you really make the Liyang royal family look good."
Lu Ze finally raised his head, looked at the eldest brother with whom he had a bad relationship, and chuckled: "Why, does the eldest brother look down on Wu Fu? How dare you speak like this in front of Wang Xianzhi? The eldest brother has been at the border all year round, hasn't he? Do you know how powerful martial arts warriors are? Cao Changqing has entered Tai'an City three times. Next time Cao Guanzi comes to the imperial city to assassinate you, you should let me stand in front of him and tell Cao Guanzi that his level of martial arts is nothing more than this."
"After all, you are not as loud as you, big brother, hahahahahaha."
Lu Ze's unhesitating sarcasm made the Queen frown. Only those who were at Iron Gate back then knew how powerful Lu Ze was when he scolded the sword-mad Wang Xiaoping. He was no better than the two-sleeved Green Snake Sword in his hand. Not half as good.
The fourth prince Zhao Zhuan's expression remained unchanged.
The imperial concubine looked at Lu Ze with a complex expression. The imperial concubine, who was originally from Northern Liang, and His Highness the Crown Prince were naturally acquaintances. However, they never expected that Xu Fengnian, who was extremely domineering in Liangdi, would die at the hands of this person in front of her. , Yan Dongwu sighed slightly in his heart, looking at his husband with a smile on his face on the other side of his mother-in-law. This may be his biggest obstacle in the future.
Zhao Wu clenched his sword tightly, his face gloomy.
Lu Ze stood up and quickly came closer, staring closely into the eldest brother's eyes, without even caring about the empress who was the mother of the world.
At the scene, his tone was full of ridicule and conceitedness: "Brother, apart from being a little older, how can you compare with me? If I ask you to go to the iron gate, I am afraid that all the bones in your body will have to be removed, and you are not worthy." Do you look down on my master? Do you look down on Wang Xianzhi?"
Queen Zhao Zhi finally said: "That's enough."
Lu Ze smiled slightly and then respectfully saluted the woman in front of him.
Soon the mysterious boss of Jiujiu Pavilion finally came out. The charming and mature woman was not afraid at all when she encountered such a storm today. Queen Zhao Zhi even chatted with the boss lady for several times with a gentle look on her face. .
There was a huge copper pot on the table in front of Lu Ze. The proprietress personally brought two large plates of tender black mutton slices placed on top of the smoothie. The eight best parts of the goat were included in these two plates. On the left hand side was Cucumber strips, sheep ridge, sheep upper brain, sheep tendons, and on the right hand side are sheep crotch, sheep three fork, one head and sheep tendon.
There is a dazzling array of side dishes and leftovers, which will make you more appetizing.
Princess Zhao Fengya seems to want to come to Lu Ze's table for dinner, but unfortunately, the atmosphere of today's dinner is not harmonious. Today's Lu Ze here can be regarded as officially drawing a line with the other side. This is expected. The thing is, because the road to seizing the rightful son is a matter of life and death.
...
On the second day, in the morning court, the emperor issued a decree to seal the vassal state.
"The sixth prince, Zhao Kai, lives in the fiefdom of Western Shu."
"Go to the King of Shu!"
