"Okay, I will take this flintlock gun away. You can continue to work!" Lu Chen took the flintlock gun from Liu Laosan again. It was not Lu Chen's fault that the finished product was placed here. Don't worry, the main reason is that this is the first flintlock gun of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the first flintlock gun made by Lu Chen. The numbers on the butt are all 001. This gun is of great historical significance.
At the same time, the current flintlock gun can also be used as a teaching prop. This matter was already in Lu Chen's mind when Lu Chen decided to make the flintlock gun.
"What are you doing?" Lu Chen picked up the flintlock gun and prepared to move forward. However, Lu Chen was startled by the looks of the people around him, especially the guys in charge of leading the troops, Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang, who had always been calm in his work, was staring directly at the flintlock gun in Lu Chen's hand. His eyes were as good as those of an old Sp looking at a beautiful girl in stockings!
Looking at the longing eyes of this group of people, Lu Chen understood that they were all interested in the flintlock gun in his hand.
"Falling in?" Lu Chen weighed the flintlock gun in his hand and looked at Su Dingfang and others with a smile on his face and asked.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Su Dingfang and others nodded in unison, like chickens eating rice.
"I won't give you this gun!" Lu Chen directly put the flintlock gun behind him and looked at these guys who were drooling with a smirk on his face, "I want to keep this No. 1 gun. But before the new flintlock gun is made, I can let you have a try!" Actually, it's not that Lu Chen is stingy, but it's just that this is the only flintlock gun so far. Who should I give it to? Given to Su Dingfang, although others would not say anything, they could not guarantee whether there would be any complaints in their hearts.
After all, everyone has a desire to compare. As the old saying goes: "Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!" This is still the case when leading troops in combat. The most feared thing is favoring one and favoring others. This is the easiest to shake the morale of the army, not to mention this flintlock gun. , Lu Chen really wanted to collect it for himself, so he directly expressed his decision. Although several people did not get the flintlock gun, Lu Chen said that he would let them try it out first, which made Su Dingfang and others happy.
"Don't be too happy too early!" Looking at the excited expressions of several people, Lu Chen continued directly, "I don't let you try it casually, you will have to train soldiers to use it by then! Do you understand? "Lu Chen looked at several people with a serious expression.
"Yes! I obey your orders!" Seeing Lu Chen's serious expression, several people clasped their fists and accepted the order, and the excitement of being able to use the flintlock gun also dissipated by half.
Lu Chen casually threw the flintlock gun to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang, who had always been calm, saw Lu Chen throwing the flintlock gun to him so casually and hurriedly caught it. When catching the flintlock gun, Su Dingfang was actually a little confused. After holding the flintlock gun, Su Dingfang started to stroke it. Du Junchuo on the side was very covetous and wanted to reach out and touch the flintlock gun. Su Dingfang patted his hand. Du Junchuo looked at Su Dingfang resentfully. , looking at Du Junchuo's somewhat resentful eyes, Su Ding just reluctantly let Du Junchuo touch the flintlock gun.
Seeing Su Dingfang's behavior as if he was protecting food, Lu Chen helplessly shook his head.
Lu Chen took a few people to Liulifang again. In the past few days, Liulifang has been processing the glass used in the glass greenhouse that Lu Chen wanted. As the quantity increased, the efficiency of Liulifang's craftsmen became more and more He was getting more and more skilled, and Lu Chen was satisfied and gave some rewards to the craftsmen before leading them back to his mansion.
As a result, when Lu Chen was still some distance away from the mansion, he discovered something unusual about the mansion, because there were many guards around his mansion, and these guards, whom Lu Chen knew, were the East Palace Guards of Prince Li Jiancheng.
"Could it be that Li Jiancheng is here?" Seeing these East Palace guards, Lu Chen thought to himself. After Su Chang arranged a place for Sun Simiao yesterday, when he came to report to Lu Chen, Lu Chen told Su Chang One thing was to ask Su Chang to inform Li Jiancheng through Princess Langya, so that Prince Li Jiancheng would have time to visit her recently. As for why he invited the prince, Lu Chen did not tell Su Chang, and Su Chang also understood that Lu Chen did not want to say , you can't talk too much, this is the fundamental principle of being a servant.
This morning, Su Chang went to the Langya Palace of Princess Langya Li Yanjun to ask for an audience with Li Yanjun. At the same time, she brought Lu Chen's words to Li Yanjun. When Li Yanjun heard that it was Lu Chen who asked her to do it, , who was working very efficiently, Su Chang had just left the palace, but Li Yanjun had already found Li Jiancheng and brought Lu Chen's words to Li Jiancheng.
As soon as Li Jiancheng heard that Lu Chen had invited him over, he notified his bodyguards and set off straight to Lujiazhuang in a light outfit. As for whether he doubted Lu Chen's purpose in inviting Li Jiancheng here? Li Jiancheng wouldn't have that kind of idea, and Li Jiancheng felt that if it weren't for the emergency, Lu Chen probably wouldn't have sent Su Chang to find his sister in the palace to inform him.
Although it was said that this was in the palace, there were many people and there were many eyes, so someone would definitely see this, and there would definitely be rumors. Lu Chen ignored these and directly informed him to go to Lujiazhuang. This shows how urgent the matter is!
When Li Jiancheng came to Lu's house in Lujiazhuang, Lu Chen had already gone to the workshop area to test the flintlock gun. As soon as Li Jiancheng walked to the front hall, he was stunned because he saw an old Taoist priest sitting in front of him. While drinking tea, the hall looked at the stack of papers in his hand.
Naturally, Li Jiancheng, the old Taoist priest, knew him. Isn't this the miracle doctor Sun Simiao whom he secretly sent to search near Zhongnan Mountain? And Li Jiancheng finally understood why the people he sent had searched to no avail for so long, and the miracle doctor came to Lu Chen.
"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince!" Hearing the footsteps, Sun Simiao naturally put down the "medical book" that Lu Chen had copied for him, followed the sound, and happened to see Li Jiancheng walking into the front yard. Sun Simiao hurriedly stood up to greet him, and at the same time He slapped Li Jiancheng on the head.
"Old miracle doctor, you don't have to be like this! Take your seat quickly!" Seeing Sun Simiao saluting him, Li Jiancheng quickly took a few steps, held up his hands, and went directly to the front hall with Sun Simiao.
This is not the first time that Li Jiancheng has come to Lu Chen, and in the future, the Marquis of Lu County will become his brother-in-law. As an elder brother-in-law, it should be normal for him to be a little more casual in his brother-in-law's house, right?
Li Jiancheng directly lifted up his clothes and sat on the left hand seat. "I have sent people to Zhongnan Mountain to find the old miracle doctor for a long time. I never thought that you would be here!" Li Jiancheng looked at Sun Simiao with a helpless smile and started to complain.
"Pindao did live in Zhongnan Mountain some time ago, but not many people know about it. How did His Royal Highness know about it?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise when he heard that Li Jiancheng said that he sent people to Zhongnan Mountain to find him. After all, not even his disciples were told about his seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain some time ago. He just wanted to study alchemy in a pure way. If it weren't for the news about Lu Chen reaching Sun Simiao's ears, Sun Simiao might still be studying in Zhongnan Mountain at this time. Where is Alchemy!
"Of course it was Lu County Marquis who told Gu!" Li Jiancheng betrayed Lu Chen without any courtesy. Although Li Jiancheng said it lightly, it was a different story to Sun Simiao's ears. After all, he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. The matter was basically not leaked. Lu Chen actually knew that he was in Zhongnan Mountain. Suddenly, Lu Chen's image became more unpredictable in Sun Simiao's heart.
"It turns out it was Mr. Lu who said so!" Sun Simiao nodded while stroking his beard.
While the two were chatting, Su Chang came in with a teacup and served Li Jiancheng tea.
"Su Chang, why don't you see Mr. Lu?" When Su Chang put the tea cup on the coffee table and stood up, Li Jiancheng looked at Su Chang and asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty the Prince, the County Duke has gone to the workshop area early in the morning!" Su Chang heard Li Jiancheng asking her question and hurriedly saluted and replied.
"Oh!" Li Jiancheng nodded.
"Do you need me to send someone to inform the county official?" Su Chang looked at Li Jiancheng and asked. After all, Li Jiancheng came very suddenly. It was not until he entered the front hall and was picking green leaves in the backyard greenhouse that Su Chang was notified, and then he hurriedly came to the front to serve Li Jiancheng.
"No need! Mr. Lu must be busy with something when he went to the workshop area, so I'll just wait here for him to come back!" Li Jiancheng waved his hand, stopping Su Chang from sending someone to notify Lu Chen.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Su Chang was filled with surprise, but on the surface she still looked normal and responded "Yes!" and exited the hall.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was actually allowed to sit in the front hall and wait for his father-in-law, and it was at the request of the prince himself. This shows the importance of his father-in-law in His Highness's heart!" Su Chang thought to herself as she exited the front hall, of course. She didn't dare to say this out loud.
After Su Chang exited the front hall, Li Jiancheng picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, and then chatted with Sun Simiao. In fact, Li Jiancheng wanted to ask Sun Simiao about his condition, but this was the front hall. After all, walls have ears, and the news that the prince was seriously ill could not be spread, so the two of them chatted in unison.
Just when the two were chatting casually, they heard Lu Chen's voice, because Lu Chen was asking Su Chang why Li Jiancheng was here and he didn't send anyone to notify him.
"Mr. Lu, Su Chang is not to blame for this matter. I told you not to do so!" Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Li Jiancheng walked out of the front hall and said to Lu Chen with a smile on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. I was a little disappointed to greet him from afar. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me!" Seeing Li Jiancheng come out, Lu Chen hurriedly saluted Li Jiancheng and said.
