"Oh? His Royal Highness King Rencheng knows that I will come today?" Lu Chen asked with a smile as he looked at the man in front of him.
"As soon as the prince left Lujiazhuang, someone came back to report to the prince!" Yan Ren answered Lu Chen directly without any hesitation.
"Sure enough, Mr. Lu County did not break his promise. After leaving Lujiazhuang, he actually came to this king. I have been waiting for a long time!" Just when Yan Ren led Lu Chen to turn around the screen wall, and just walked into the front yard, Li Daozong, who was wearing a lavender embroidered python robe, had already come out to greet him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for waiting for so long. It's a sin! A sin!" When Lu Chen saw Li Daozong coming out in person, he hurriedly said to Li Daozong with his hands raised.
"It's actually freezing outside, so please follow me in quickly!" Li Daozong directly grabbed Lu Chen's wrist, and the two of them entered the front hall hand in hand. Li Daozong directly ordered the maid on the side. After serving tea, he and Lu Chen took their seats respectively.
"Your Majesty, your eyes and ears are really quick. I just left Lujiazhuang, and you already knew about it?" Lu Chen sat opposite Li Daozong and asked with a smile.
"To be honest, as soon as you leave Lujiazhuang, there are basically few people in the capital who don't know about it!" Hearing Lu Chen's question, Li Daozong replied with a smile.
"Oh? Are there so many people paying attention to me?" Lu Chen laughed directly after hearing this, "I don't participate in government affairs, and I don't commit crimes. Why do these people care about me?" Obviously, so many people are staring at me. Lu Chen himself was quite unhappy.
"Brother Lu, please don't be angry. I only pay attention to Brother Lu because I want to know when Brother Lu will leave Lujiazhuang. I have no other ideas. As for other people..." Li Daozong's words were full of displeasure when he saw Lu Chen. In a Yue tone, he quickly explained that Li Daozong didn't want this matter to affect his relationship with Lu Chen.
"What's wrong with the others?" At this time, a maid had already placed the teacup on the coffee table next to the two of them. Lu Chen picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.
"Brother Lu, don't you know what you did?" Looking at Lu Chen's confused and ignorant expression, Li Daozong couldn't help but said with a wry smile.
"What did I do? Didn't I just stay in Lujiazhuang and think about my past?" Lu Chen still looked innocent.
"Brother Lu, are you forgetful, or have you really forgotten? You can't just forget about the affairs between you and the four families of King Zheng, Xiao and Wei, right?" Li Daozong reminded Lu Chen again.
"My lord, if you didn't mention this, I would have almost forgotten that these families still owe me debts. I have to ask them for help! It's been so long, so people from these aristocratic families are really Not keeping your word!" After hearing Li Daozong's reminder, Lu Chen said with a look of sudden realization.
"I believe you are a ghost! If you can forget this, then you are a ghost!" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen's expression and complained directly to Lu Chen in his heart.
"It can only be said that Brother Lu is a noble man who forgets things a lot, but Brother Lu has not forgotten what happened between us, right?" Li Daozong asked with a hint, and Li Daozong was naturally referring to the glass matter. Two shops were opened in the city to specialize in the glass business. They even thought of a name and called it "Sheng Tang Liuli".
"How is this possible? Is the prince's shop ready?" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and asked.
"Ready! One in the east market and one in the west market!" Li Daozong said very proudly, "And I have already chosen a name. Of course, His Majesty agrees. It will be called 'Shengtang Glass'!"
"Pfft!" When Lu Chen heard the name of the shop mentioned by Li Daozong, Lu Chen spit out a sip of tea.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Daozong couldn't help but look at Lu Chen in confusion when he saw Lu Chen taking out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his mouth.
"My lord, doesn't the name of this store clearly tell others that the royal family is involved in this store? How many people know that this store belongs to you?" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong with a look of hatred. , it seems that this name was given by someone related to the Li family. Otherwise, if anyone dares to use the word "Shengtang" for nothing, wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
"Well... not many people know that I own this shop, but those aristocratic families should be able to guess it. After all, the shopkeepers in charge of these two shops are my trusted friends!" Li Daozong said a little embarrassed.
"Hey! It's already been like this for everyone! Let's do it this time!" Lu Chen could only sigh helplessly. He had forgotten to tell Li Daozong about this, but Lu Chen then thought about it, would those aristocratic families care about this? Probably not, not to mention that what I want to get must be rare and expensive in the early stage, and the quantity will not be too much, and it will be high-end, so I don’t believe that your family will not take the bait!
"If we want to collect money from those aristocratic families, we must do it quietly! Prince, do you understand?" Lu Chen directly gave Li Daozong a look that you know.
Although Li Daozong didn't do things beautifully this time, Li Daozong was a member of the royal family. How could he not understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words? The less barking a dog bites, the harder it will be. However, when he thought of his own metaphor, Li Daozong couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart.
"I have taken note of this. I wonder when this glass will start to be sold?" When Li Daozong thought of the large piece of glass he saw at Lu Chen's place, he couldn't help but get a little excited. He even began to fantasize about buying a box of glass at home. The scene of carrying money in a box.
"Don't worry, I have some other things to do when I come out this time. Moreover, the products at Liulicang are also being processed. When the time comes, they will definitely be sent to the prince's house for him to see in person!" Seeing that Li Daozong was a little anxious With such a look, I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart. I didn't expect that the majestic King Ren Cheng of the Tang Dynasty would be so anxious.
"Is there anything else that needs to be done? Do you need my help?" Hearing that Lu Chen still had something to do, Li Daozong couldn't help but ask. After all, he has benefited from Lu Chen now. There is a saying that "eating people is soft-spoken." If Lu Chen has something to do, if he can help, wouldn't it bring him closer to Lu Chen?
Not to mention anything else, just those back armors and Tang swords forged by Lu Chen. When the time comes, he will take a batch back to Lingzhou and arm his Lingzhou army. When the Turks dare to come again, Li Daozong will have the confidence to lead the army. They beat the Turks so hard that they didn’t even know their mother.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to come forward in this matter!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong with a troubled expression.
"Is there anything else that makes it inconvenient for me to show up?" Li Daozong's eyes widened when he heard Lu Chen's words. Don't forget, Li Daozong is only twenty-two years old this year, two years younger than Lu Chen, and his chest suddenly Pulling it out, he said boldly, "Brother Lu, although you and I don't have the same surname, I and you feel like old friends at first sight. There is no need to say anything about Brother Lu. Looking at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are really not many things that I dare not take care of." !”
"Hey!" Lu Chen could only sigh when he saw Li Daozong's appearance, and told Li Daozong about Peng Zun, including of course the fact that Peng Zun had eaten too much venison.
After listening to Lu Chen's narration, Li Daozong looked at Peng Zun up and down with a surprised expression. However, the swelling on Peng Zun's face had not subsided. In addition, Lu Chen told Li Daozong about this, and his face was straight. Smell turned into a palette.
"I have only seen this kind of romantic affair among literati in story books. I didn't expect Peng Xiaowei to have such a romantic affair!" Li Daozong looked at Peng Zun and sighed directly. As for Peng Zun's offending Du Dejun, in He didn't seem to be a big deal at all.
Of course, if Li Daozong really hits Du Dejun with a sword, this is definitely not possible, but if Li Daozong directly beats Du Dejun, or even hits a key point, such as a broken leg or broken arm, he will definitely be fine. , at most, just apologize to Du Fuwei. After all, he is the real prince of the Tang Dynasty. Du Fuwei said that the prince is just a prince with a different surname. There is no comparison with Li Daozong, let alone What's more, Li Daozong didn't know about what happened to Li Zitong some time ago. Why Du Fuwei stayed behind closed doors, he knew much better than Lu Chen.
As for redeeming Gu Qing from Zhongqu, it was just a matter of his words. All Li Daozong had to say was that the palace wanted Gu Qing and asked her to become an official aunt in the palace. The other party would probably have to treat Gu Qing respectfully. Qing was sent to the palace, but Li Daozong still had the final say on what to do next?
As soon as Li Daozong finished speaking, Peng Zun's face changed from a palette to a canvas.
"Brother Lu, what are you going to do about this?" Although these things were just a matter of Li Daozong's words, when he saw Lu Chen going out with so many guards, he knew that Lu Chen definitely didn't mean well in this matter, let alone Peng Zun After all, he is now Lu Chen's subordinate, so how to deal with this matter still depends on the wishes of Lu Chen, the master.
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I have never believed in the idea that a gentleman takes revenge after ten years. I have always believed in taking revenge immediately. If you respect me a foot, I will pay you back a foot. I will not offend anyone unless he offends me. If someone offends me, I will not offend him." I, hehe, I’m sorry, I’ll root it out!” Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile showing his white teeth, but there was a bit of chill in the smile, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. This sudden move scared Li Daozong. Jump.
"Brother Lu, don't you mean..." Looking at Lu Chen's expression, Li Daozong directly made a gesture with his knife pointing downwards, "Of course, it's not impossible, but this matter must be handled cleanly and neatly. Okay!" Li Daozong touched his chin and thought about it and said.
"Ahem!" When he heard the first half of Li Daozong's sentence, Lu Chen thought that Li Daozong was trying to persuade him to "have mercy on others and spare others", but he didn't expect that Li Daozong had already begun to think about this matter in the second half of his sentence. The feasibility of it made Lu Chen feel a little unexpected.
