"But thank you, Mr. Fu."
Xie Fu nodded.
"Mr. Xie, my name is Huo Ping. It was Uncle Huo Duanhuo who arranged for me to wait for Mr. Xie here. The sedan chair has been prepared. Please get on the sedan chair and go to the mansion to stay. I will immediately take care of you."
Huo Duan also arranged everything carefully. Xie Fu was about to agree when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Xie."
Xie Fu turned around and saw a young master walking out of the restaurant, it was the Sixth Prince Qin Chuzhen.
He was wearing a gorgeous gold silk ink robe when they first met, but now he was dressed in ordinary clothes, which still couldn't hide the nobility faintly revealed in his brows.
Xie Fu was slightly surprised. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Could it be...
On the street, since Qin Chuzhen was dressed normally, he probably didn't want to attract attention, so he used the title of friend: "Brother Qin, what a coincidence?"
"It's no coincidence. I've been waiting here for a long time."
"Oh, Brother Qin knows that I'm coming to Chang'an?"
"Brother Xie, you are a man of great influence now. I am not the only one who knows that you are coming to Chang'an."
Xie Fu laughed: "Brother Qin is so condescending."
"Jinling had a hasty farewell that day, and I couldn't get to know you, brother Xie. This time, I will make up for it with my friendship as a landlord. Brother Xie, please."
The first thing I did when I came to Chang'an was to find you. You took the initiative to show me the way, which saved me the trouble of asking for directions. Xie Fu responded readily: "Okay."
Huo Ping said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo. Master Huo has already given instructions. If the villain fails to pick up someone, he will definitely be punished."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Do you still want to compete with the Sixth Prince for guests?"
Huo Ping was startled, looked at Qin Chuzhen, and said respectfully: "It turns out to be Prince Qi. The villain has eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai."
Xie Fu was secretly surprised. Has Qin Chuzhen already been crowned king? Since he has been granted the title of king, he should have taken up his post in the territory, but why did he stay in Chang'an?
Of course, becoming a king does not necessarily lead to a fiefdom. There are many princes in Daguan Kingdom who do not have a fiefdom after becoming a king, but just become a free prince.
But what Qin Chuzhen granted was the King of Qi, and that was the Lord of Qizhou.
Qin Chuzhen seemed to see through Xie Fu's thoughts and said with a smile: "I still hold the post of Jing Zhaoyin, but I can't leave Chang'an."
Xie Fu said: "I see, it turns out that Brother Qin still holds an important position."
Jingzhao Yin is the chief executive in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, and controls 21 counties and counties including Chang'an, Wannian, Xinfeng, Weinan... The most important one is the chief executive of Chang'an City.
Since he is a chief, he has subordinates, and since he has subordinates, he has power.
Xie Fu was thinking about it, Qin Chuzhen said with a smile: "My Prince Qi's residence is in the Sixteenth Prince's House, which is a little far away, please."
Xie Fu nodded: "Sorry for bothering you."
After Qin Chuzhen glanced at the horse, his eyes fell on the sedan and asked: "Is this Mrs. Xie sitting in the sedan?"
Xie Fu also looked at the sedan, deliberately not rushing to answer, and preparing to give Qin Chuzhen a "surprise".
I secretly thought to myself, Madam Du, before you is the lover you have given birth to a son for whom you have longed for, why are you not excited at all? Could it be that you can't recognize his voice after so long?
Probably Gu Liuqing was steady and did not dare to act without permission without Xie Fu's instructions, but the sedan curtain did not even ripple.
Qin Chuzhen said with a smile: "Brother Xie, is it inconvenient to say this?" It is common for a high-ranking and powerful person to hide his beauty in a golden house, raise a singer privately, and be romantic and happy.
Xie Fuying said: "There is nothing to say. The person sitting in the sedan chair is my wife's Jinlan sister Gu Liuqing. Mrs. Gu's home is in Chang'an. I will take her home in fine clothes this time."
There was something in Xie Fu's words. He secretly observed Qin Chuzhen's expression, but Qin Chuzhen's expression was not strange at all. He smiled and said, "Oh, that's it. Brother Xie, please."
Qin Chuzhen said the word "please" again. At this moment, there was a noise and chaos in front of him, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves galloping.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
Qin Chuzhen frowned and looked gloomy. In the area under his jurisdiction, someone was galloping in the market. As soon as Xie Fu came, he left a bad impression.
If it's for business, that's okay, but if it's for personal use, then he's not polite.
Soon, several horses galloped at the Touting Gate. The first person was riding a handsome BMW. He was as fat as a pig, disheveled, with disheveled hair. There were many rouge lip marks on his face. He could tell at a glance that he had done it last night. Something happened.
The person who came was none other than Cui Sanfei, Fatty Cui. He called out "big brother" excitedly, and he jumped off his horse and ran towards Xie Fu.
Huoping was shocked, what a guy!
Chang'an is at the foot of the imperial city, a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. He is either a king or a lord. Cui Sanfei can be called the number one playboy in Chang'an, but his reputation is in vain.
I can't believe how hard someone can make him call "big brother".
Huo Ping was even more surprised at this moment than if King Qi came to greet him in person.
Cui Sanfei ran straight to Xie Fu, and pressed Xie Fu's shoulders with his fat hands excitedly: "Brother, you have finally arrived in Chang'an!"
A strong aroma of alcohol hit his face. Xie Fu smiled bitterly, wondering why he had made such a bad friend. He couldn't say anything, so he replied: "Three wrongs."
Cui Sanfei chuckled: "I played with His Highness the Prince at the White Horse Hall until dawn last night. When I heard that you had arrived in Chang'an, I immediately rode over. I apologize for my sin."
Xie Fu said: "I didn't inform you either, but you are quite well informed."
Cui Sanfei said: "Aren't you going to attend the palace banquet on the 15th Lantern Festival? I look forward to it day and night, and wish I could guard the city gate. But there are more than a dozen gates in Chang'an City, and I don't know how to guard them." Which, and His Royal Highness the Prince also said that Suzhou is two thousand miles away from here, and it would take you ten days to come here after the New Year, so I sent people to guard every city gate."
"Sanfei, you have your heart."
Cui Sanfei suddenly changed his face and cursed loudly: "Damn it, this slave didn't report in time, which caused me to lose my welcome. I will kill him and feed him to the dogs when I get back."
Xie Fu comforted him: "Okay."
To be honest, Fu Xie couldn't stand some of Cui Sanfei's styles, but Cui Sanfei valued brotherhood.
Thinking about it, I should be more open-minded, just like an emperor, loyal ministers can be tolerated, and treacherous ministers need to be tolerated even if they are capable.
"Brother, let's go! I'll take care of you and let's talk slowly."
It was impossible for Cui Sanfei not to see Qin Chuzhen, but from beginning to end he regarded him as the newly crowned King of Qi as a transparent person.
Qin Chuzhen said at this time: "Mr. Cui, Brother Xie has accepted my invitation to sit down at Prince Qi's Mansion."
Cui Sanfei then looked at Qin Chuzhen: "It turns out it's Liu...oh no, it's Prince Qi."
This sentence alone shows Cui Sanfei's contempt for Qin Chuzhen. There are not many people in the entire Chang'an city who can challenge the prince like this.
"This is my sworn brother. It should be received by me as a brother. Could it be that Prince Qi wants to take over for you?"
Qin Chuzhen smiled faintly: "Everything has a first come, first served basis. Mr. Cui, you have no choice but to be rude."
