Lu Chen spent the night in Li Daozong's palace and took people back to Lujiazhuang the next day. Along the way, everyone looked at the "big cocoon" tied to Lu Chen's guard horse with strange eyes.
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Du Fuwei was losing his temper at this moment: "Are you people just doing it for a living?!" Du Fuwei's chest rose and fell, his dark face became even darker, and he half-knelt on the ground in front of him. The guards glared angrily, "With so many people, we can't protect Dejun! Why do I support you?!" Du Fuwei smashed the tea bowl on the coffee table to the ground with a bang. Everyone was trembling.
"My lord, the opponent is really outnumbered, and the Marquis of Lu County also has a special hidden weapon in his hand..." The guard commander, who was half kneeling on the ground, explained to Du Fuwei anxiously.
"Huh?" Hearing the words of the guard commander, Du Fuwei directly glared at the guard commander. Under Du Fuwei's gaze, the commander lowered his head and did not dare to look at Du Fuwei. "This Lu County Marquis is so big. Majestic, come here! Assemble! I want to see what kind of person this Lu Chen is!" Du Fuwei walked directly out of the front hall, and the guards quickly got up and followed Du Fuwei.
Not long after Lu Chen took his guards out of the city, he saw Du Fuwei also taking his guards out of the city, obviously heading towards Lu Chen's Lujiazhuang.
At this time, not only the aristocratic families who were staring at Lu Chen got the news, but also Li Yuan who was having breakfast in the palace got the news. Not to mention that Li Yuan gave Du Fuwei such a high position, and Li Yuan also gave Du Fuwei A guard of 500 people was arranged. These 500 people were different from the 3,000 people that Lu Chen had. The 3,000 people that Li Yuan gave to Lu Chen were purely for Lu Chen, while these 500 people were ostensibly for Du Fu. Although he was a powerful guard, they were actually used to monitor Du Fuwei. After all, Li Yuan never fully believed in Du Fuwei from beginning to end.
"You said Du Fuwei led his team out of the city to find Lu Chen?" Li Yuan picked up the silk and wiped his mouth, asking Chang Bao beside him.
"Someone came to report last night. Duke Lu and King Rencheng went to Pingkangfang with their guards..." Chang Bao reported directly to Li Yuan the information he got last night, including the poem written by Lu Chen. Nanquduzhi also reported to Li Yuan in detail about Luo Lifu's house and the literary banquet.
"You mean, these two boys just beat up Du Dejun and took him away on horseback?" Li Yuan asked, holding back a smile, because this incident really made Li Yuan feel funny. After all, the thought of this The two of them were not very old, but they went to Pingkangfang with fully armed guards. As for staying in Pingkangfang, Li Yuan didn't believe it. Just these two people, how could they look at what they were looking for? A woman from Shangpingkangfang.
As for dealing with Du Dejun, Li Yuan felt that Lu Chen could do it, but what he didn't expect was that his nephew Li Daozong actually joined in the fun. As for the good relationship between Li Daozong and Lu Chen, Li Yuan was quite happy. After all, the tighter the Li family and Lu Chen are tied, the more benefits it will bring to the Li family.
"Yes! This morning, when Duke Lu came out of the Rencheng Palace, Du Dejun was still tied to his horse!" Chang Bao continued with a normal expression, "Moreover, Duke Lu had a powerful hidden weapon in his hand. The slave thought..." When Chang Bao thought of the shocked expression of the person who came to him to report when he mentioned Lu Chen's "pistol", Chang Bao couldn't help but mention it to Li Yuan, meaning that he hoped that Li Yuan could take Lu Chen's hand. Confiscated weapons like this.
"I know this, so don't worry about the hidden weapons!" Li Yuan glanced at Chang Bao. Li Xiuning had already told Li Yuan about the pistol in Lu Chen's hand. As for Li Yuan, he also thought about letting Lu Chen I also discussed the matter of handing over the "pistol" with Li Xiuning, but in the end I thought it would be better not to force Lu Chen too much, because everything Lu Chen has done so far is for the good of Datang. If he is forced Lu Chen's handing over his pistol will only make Lu Chen dissatisfied. What's more, the Li family's plans have a lot to do with Lu Chen.
"Yes!" Chang Bao hurriedly bowed and responded. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything because Chang Bao also knew that he could be replaced, but now it seems that Lu Chen is irreplaceable in Li Yuan's heart.
"Send someone to follow and take a look. Don't cause too much trouble!" Li Yuan stood up and walked to Nuange, giving instructions to Chang Bao as he walked.
"My slave understands!" Chang Bao bowed and responded.
"Sir, King Wu led the team to Lujiazhuang!" Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the study drinking tea and reading, also received a report from the housekeeper Xiao Huan.
"Oh?" Xiao Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at Xiao Huan with interest, "Then Lu Chen actually offended King Wu?"
"It is said that Lu Chen kidnapped the Crown Prince of Wu!" Xiao Huan reported with a gloating smile.
"This Lu Chen is so brave! He dares to tie up the prince's eldest son. I really don't know how high the sky is. Go and inform the other families that I will have a banquet at noon!" Xiao Yu thought about it for a moment, and then ordered Xiao Huan.
"Yes!" Xiao Huan turned around and left the study, closed the study door with his backhand, and walked quickly to the back door.
"This Lu Chen is really a master at committing suicide!" Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the study, said with a sneer.
Other aristocratic families who had problems with Lu Chen, after learning that Lu Chen offended King Wu Du Fuwei, also looked like they were waiting for a good show to gloat. After all, Du Fuwei's current official position can be said to be the second in the ranking. Fourth in the Tang Dynasty, how could Lu Chen, a small Chang'an County Duke, compare with Du Fuwei? Even the Wang family, Zheng family and Wei family wished that Du Fuwei would go to Lujiazhuang and kill Lu Chen directly. At the same time, they also sent many People went to Lujiazhuang, hoping to get the news as soon as possible.
"Master, you're back!" Seeing Lu Chen returning with his team, Du Junchuo, who was responsible for guarding the gate of Lujiazhuang today, hurriedly came up to greet him. At the same time, he stretched his head and looked into the team.
"What are you looking for?" Lu Chen glanced at Du Junchuo.
"Why don't you see Peng Zun?" Du Junchuo asked curiously.
"Stop asking!" Lu Chen directly tapped Du Junchuo's helmet with a folding fan, "Do your job!" After Lu Chen said this, he led the team directly into Lujiazhuang.
Du Junchuo straightened his helmet and found that his men were looking at him and suppressing laughter. Du Junchuo shouted directly at the group of people: "What are you looking at! Watch for a while and the whistle will go off, everyone Carrying a heavy load for ten miles!"
"They will threaten us with ten miles of land!" Du Junchuo's men muttered.
"What did you say?" Du Junchuo looked directly at the group of people and asked fiercely.
"It's okay! We say Captain Du is the most handsome!" The subordinates responded loudly.
"Humph! That's pretty much it!" Du Junchuo nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir!" Lu Chen handed the white fox to the servant beside him, walked into the door of his mansion, and saw Cai Jing standing by the door waiting for him.
"Why are you here?" Lu Chen was stunned when he looked at Cai Jing, because Cai Jing was followed by two people, both of whom were holding things in their hands. Lu Chen walked into the front hall while talking, Cai Jing and The two people followed Lu Chen step by step.
Lu Chen entered the front hall, and a maid brought a hand towel. Lu Chen wiped his hands, and then another maid served tea. Lu Chen took a sip of the hot tea, and drank the warm tea, which dispelled a lot of the cold air along the way.
"Lao Cai, what's going on with you?" Lu Chen pointed to the things the two people behind Cai Jing were holding. These things were now wrapped in linen, so Lu Chen couldn't tell what they were holding. "Could it be that the paper mill has produced results?" However, Lu Chen guessed that when Cai Jing came to see him, there should be results from the paper mill, and what the two people were holding in their hands was probably the paper produced by the paper mill, but not the paper produced by the paper mill. Know how good it is!
"My lord, what a wonderful plan!" Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Cai Jing's big face turned into a smile.
"Stop flattering, talk about what's important!" Lu Chen directly glared at Cai Jing, "Let's see how the thing you built is good first! If it reaches the standard, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
"Yes!" Cai Jing responded quickly, then turned around and lifted up the linen covering the things they were holding, and saw that the two men were holding two types of paper of completely different colors.
"Sir, this is hemp paper and bamboo paper made according to your recipe!" Cai Jing pointed to the two types of paper and introduced them to Lu Chen.
The slightly yellowish surface is hemp paper, while the surface of bamboo paper is much whiter than hemp paper, but still has a light yellow color. Lu Chen stood up and touched it. The texture of bamboo paper was obviously much better than hemp paper. few.
"How is the output?" Lu Chen is more concerned about the current output of these papers. After all, the quality can be improved. At this stage, output is much more important than quality.
"Sir, after using your method, the output has at least doubled compared to before!" Cai Jing said with a happy face.
"Continue to produce, the more the better!" Lu Chen nodded, "You have made great achievements in making paper. Each of you will receive three hundred coins. Go back to Deputy General Du to collect the reward!"
Upon hearing that there was a reward, the smiles on Cai Jing's and others' faces became even wider.
"Master!" At this moment, Su Dingfang stood outside the door and called Lu Chen.
"You guys go back first!" Lu Chen glanced at Su Dingfang, then waved his hand, indicating that Cai Jing and others could go back to produce paper. After Cai Jing and others bowed and saluted, they left the front hall and waited until Cai Jing and the others left. , Su Dingfang walked in from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Lu Chen looked at Su Dingfang and asked.
"King Wu Du Fuwei is yelling and cursing at the gate of Zhuangzi!" Su Dingfang said with an ugly expression.
"This old guy came quite quickly!" When Su Dingfang said that Du Fuwei was yelling and cursing at the entrance of Zhuangzi, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said directly, then stood up and walked out of the front court, "Let's go! Follow me to meet you. This King Wu!"
