"He won't!" Xiao Yu glanced at the direction Yang Gongren left, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, "He is a smart man, and he is also from a noble family. What should be said and what should not be said, He knows it very well!" Xiao Yu's falcon-like eyes flashed with cold light.
"Master Xiao, Lu Chen is huddled in Lujiazhuang all day now. Even if we want to deal with him, there is no good way!" The person who spoke at this time was Zheng Shanguo. He was the one who was tricked the most by Lu Chen this time, so in the end He was also the one who was eager to deal with Lu Chen.
"Don't panic, everyone!" Seeing Zheng Shanguo's somewhat depressed expression, Xiao Yu put down his wine glass and said calmly, "As far as I know, the bet between the three of you and Lu Chen is time-limited! We can first Just make a fuss about the time limit!"
"That's right!" Wang Gui, Wei Ting and Zheng Shanguo all brightened up when they heard what Xiao Yu said. "No one said that this bet must be implemented immediately. After all, the number on the bet is not a small amount. We You have to have time to prepare!" Wang Gui immediately heard the meaning of Xiao Yu's words and laughed directly, "Master Xiao still sees clearly, we are the authorities who are confused, come, let's toast Master Xiao together! "Wang Gui said, picking up the wine glass, and the other two people also picked up the wine glass and toasted to Xiao Yu.
"No matter what you say, it's all from your own family. When everyone is obsessed with the authorities, it doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" Even though Xiao Yu said this, everyone could see that Xiao Yu was not satisfied with the toasts and compliments of the three people. It was still very useful. Xiao Yu happily picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Come, let's drink this glass together!" Xiao Yu said and drank the wine in the glass, and the three of them replied in unison, "Please." , also drank the wine in their glasses one after another.
"Of course, what I just said is just the first step. After all, there is still a time limit. It is inevitable that Lu Chen will go to the emperor at that time, and His Majesty will issue an order to ask for it. I am afraid that you will still have to fulfill the bet then!" Xiao When Yu said this, he glanced at the maid who was pouring wine for everyone, then picked up the wine glass and took a silent sip of the wine.
When Wang Gui saw Xiao Yu's behavior, he naturally knew what to do. He raised his hand and made a "step back" gesture. After saluting Wang Gui and others, these maids left Mingyue Xuan one after another.
After the maids had retreated, and after crossing the stone bridge to the shore of the lotus pond, Xiao Yu glanced around again, and then whispered: "We still have more than two months to fulfill the bet, and that Lu Chen will have about seven or eight days before His Majesty's ban will be lifted. Lu Chen will definitely leave Zhuangzi by then, and then we will have a chance to take action!"
"Do you want to..." When he heard Xiao Yu say the word "attack", Wang Gui looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, and at the same time made a one-handed cutting action. How could these people do this? don't know.
"How is that possible!" Xiao Yu saw Wang Gui's shocked look and said with a smile, "Lu Chen is now extremely favored by His Majesty. If we attack him, let alone His Majesty, but Princess Pingyang, just We won't let us go! Moreover, it's not like you haven't seen the strength of the Beiwei guards around Lu Chen. It would be too difficult to attack him secretly!" Xiao Yu shook his head directly.
"What do you mean, Master Xiao?" Zheng Shanguo looked at Xiao Yu and asked in a low voice.
"Although we can't kill him, if we can ruin his reputation and remove him from office, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with him then?" At this point, Xiao Yu sat up straight and said coldly. As soon as he smiled, seeing Xiao Yu's smile, the others also laughed.
Lu Chen has a title at this time, and he is also deeply favored. If they deal with Lu Chen at this time, it is indeed difficult for them to deal with it, but if they want to ruin Lu Chen's reputation and ruin Lu Chen's reputation, they can dismiss him and reduce his title. Their aristocratic families are familiar with this kind of thing. When Lu Chen turns into an unpopular white body, wouldn't it be as easy as trying to round him up and flatten him?
"It's just that Lu Chen is a county official. Ordinary things can make him disgusted at most. Isn't it difficult to get him dismissed from office?" Wei Ting thought about Xiao Yu's words and expressed his doubts.
"As far as I know, Princess Langya seems to be interested in Lu Chen. If Lu Chen makes some drama to tease the princess before this, then..." Xiao Yu did not say any more at this point, but stroked the He had some gray beard and looked at the people present with a smile.
"Then your Majesty will be furious! Don't talk about dismissal and reduction of rank, I'm afraid your head may not be saved by then!" Wang Gui suddenly sneered after hearing Xiao Yu's words.
"How can we criticize the royal affairs! Drink! Drink!" Xiao Yu directly interrupted Wang Gui's words, picked up the wine glass and invited several people to drink.
"Yes! Yes! We ministers can't talk about the affairs of the Heavenly Family. Thank you, Mr. Xiao Guo, for reminding me. I will punish you with a drink!" Wang Gui hurriedly got off the donkey, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. When he thought of Xiao Yu, If what he said could come true, Wang Gui would immediately feel much relieved.
"Let's only talk about romance today, not political affairs! Drink! Drink!" Zheng Shanguo hurriedly helped Wang Gui fill up the wine and said with a smile.
"That's exactly what it should be!" Xiao Yu said as he raised his glass with a smile on his face.
"My lord, in front of you is Liulifang!" Lu Chen didn't know how Xiao Yu and his gang were plotting against him behind the scenes, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. There is a saying that "one force can defeat all laws." "When the flintlock guns and artillery were built, if they dared to default on their debt, Lu Chen would dare to lead his men to bombard their house directly, and they would have to pay for it! Not shabby!
"How long has it been since then? There are so many workshops coming out of your Gongfang District!" After passing the archway with the words "Gongfang District" written on it, Li Daozong saw many farmers building brick houses, and These brick and tile houses were all built according to the huge brick and tile house in the steel workshop. It was obvious that Mr. Lu was up to something again.
"They are all small workshops! Not worth mentioning!" Lu Chen responded to Li Daozong with a smile.
While they were talking, the two of them arrived at Liulifang. The Beiwei Guardsman who was in charge of guarding the door of Liulifang, when he saw that his father-in-law was coming, he quickly saluted and let them go.
As soon as they entered Liulifang, the craftsmen from Liulifang came up to them and said, "Master, we have made the large piece of glass you want!"
"Okay! Old Ding, it only took a few days to get it done. Why did I think it would take ten days and a half?" Lu Chen smiled and patted the forty-year-old man standing in front of him. The man shook his shoulders twice, his words full of joy.
"Old Ding" is Lu Chen's name for Ding Wu, the manager of Liulicang. Ding Wu was a craftsman who had fired ceramics before. Lu Chen heard that Ding Wu had fired ceramics. At the same time, after a few days of observation, he found that this person's character was reliable. So he gave the position of manager of Liulicang to Ding Wu, and Ding Wu’s deputy was Su An. Su An and Ding Wu worked in the same ceramics workshop before, and the two of them were close friends. As for the other several The craftsmen are also their sons and sons-in-law.
After Ding Wu was patted on the shoulder by Lu Chen, his face was full of pride. Apparently Lu Chen praised him a few words, which made this guy very happy, but when he saw Li Daozong, there was a look in his eyes. A vigilant look.
"This is the King of Rencheng of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you show your respect to the prince?" Lu Chen saw the vigilance in Ding Wu's eyes and was even more satisfied with Ding Wu's performance. However, he left Li Daozong aside and didn't seem to be so responsive. thing.
"Ah?" Ding Wu had never seen Li Daozong. Although Li Yuan brought many people here that day, how could ordinary people like them dare to come and watch the excitement? They only took a few glances from a distance before being dispersed by the guards. , so Ding Wu has not met Li Daozong.
"Little man Ding Wu, kowtow to the prince!" As soon as he heard that the person following Lu Chen was King Ren Cheng, Ding Wu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Daozong, and the others also fell to the ground.
Although officials of the Tang Dynasty rarely knelt down when they saw the emperor, these were ordinary people, and they still had to kneel down when they saw the emperor and princes.
"No need to be polite! Everyone, get up!" Li Daozong had a good personality, and considering that he was as old as Lu Chen, he just waved his hand and asked Ding Wu and others to get up.
"Why don't you thank me, Your Majesty?" Lu Chen looked at Ding Wu and others who were a little confused and said with a smile.
"Hey? Hey! I thank the prince!" At Lu Chen's reminder, Ding Wu got up from the ground.
"Where is the big piece of colored glaze you mentioned? How big can it be? Show me how big it is!" In Li Daozong's mind, the big piece of colored glaze that Ding Wu mentioned could be as big as a fist at most. , because up to now, the largest colored glaze that Li Daozong has ever seen is the colored glaze bowl in Li Yuan Palace. That is the largest colored glaze that Li Daozong has ever seen so far. Can the larger colored glaze be bigger than the bowl?
"My lord, my lord, please come this way!" As soon as Ding Wu heard that Li Daozong said he wanted to see a large piece of colored glass, he led Lu Chen and Li Daozhong to the steel plate. At this time, the steel plate was covered with a layer of linen. of.
Ding Wu came to the steel plate, stretched out his hands and lifted up the linen covering it. As Ding Wu rolled the linen back little by little, he saw that the expression on Li Daozong's face changed from calm and calm to gloomy. Uncertain, in the end it turned into a state of shock.
"This... this..." After seeing the whole piece of glass, Li Daozong pointed at the glass on the steel plate with trembling fingers. He felt speechless and kept pointing at the glass. There's something wrong with the way you breathe!
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Lu Chen saw Li Daozong's expression, he knew that Li Daozong was shocked by what he saw in front of him. He reached out and patted Li Daozong on the back. Only then did Li Daozong relax.
