"Brother Xian, brother Yu, I don't know whether to ask something or not?" Qin Qiong, one of the four people who were slowly walking side by side to the Prince's Mansion in Rencheng, turned to look at Lu Chen and asked.
"Second Brother Qin, what do you want to ask me? If you can tell me, you fool brother will definitely know everything and tell me everything!" Hearing Qin Qiong ask him, Lu Chen looked at Qin Qiong and said, of course, Lu Chen's answer also left room, which also showed that, There are some things that Lu Chen will tell, and there are some things that he won't tell even if Qin Qiong asks.
Lu Chen had always called Qin Qiong the second master of Qin, and he and Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao were brothers. But when they set out just now, Qin Qiong scolded him, saying that Lu Chen favored one over the other and did not treat everyone equally. Lu Chen did not Zhao, we can only call Qin Qiong the second brother Qin.
"It's natural!" Qin Qiong naturally heard the meaning of Lu Chen's words, "What I asked you about is about the future of the virtuous brother. If you treat Zheng Shanguo like this today, it can be said that the Zheng family is doing good in the virtuous future." My brother suffered a big fall and lost face, so the Zheng family will definitely fight to the death with my virtuous brother. What's more, the 'Five Surnames and Seven Hopes' have always been known as the same spirit. If my virtuous brother makes such a fuss, I'm afraid he will make many enemies. There are so many!" Qin Qiong looked at Lu Chen worriedly and said.
"Second brother is right. In a fight between you and me, it is our duty to stop our brothers. But those aristocratic families are so numerous and deep-rooted that I am afraid that in the future it will be difficult for us to defend ourselves against open attacks and hidden attacks!" Chai Shao also intervened. Yan said.
Cheng Yaojin did not speak, but nodded in agreement.
"Three brothers, do you think Brother Yu is that kind of reckless person?" Lu Chen did not answer the three people's questions, but looked at the three princes who cared about him and asked with a smile.
"Could it be that my dear brother has a countermeasure?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask when she saw Lu Chen's nonchalant smile.
"Haven't the three brothers already seen the countermeasures?" Lu Chen continued with a smile.
Following Lu Chen's words, the three of them seemed to have a sharp flash in their minds. They immediately looked at each other and understood what Lu Chen was talking about.
"With that thing in hand, Yudi is still afraid of his family?" Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't say that Yudi just blew up the door of his house today, even if his Zheng Mansion was bombed, their five surnames and Qiwang would have to Please beg us!" Lu Chen said proudly, "To be blunt, Zheng Shanguo might have to thank Brother Yu for giving him the opportunity to repair the mansion!"
After hearing Lu Chen's words and thinking about the foundations of those aristocratic families, the three of them suddenly understood why Lu Chen dared to blow up the Zheng family's door so confidently. He had a big killer weapon in his hand!
If the thing Lu Chen mentioned was really shown to those aristocratic families, or the aristocratic families would destroy Lu Chen and destroy the thing, but judging from the current situation, there is no possibility for those aristocratic families to destroy Lu Chen. , anyway, it's impossible to do it openly. As for secretly, it would be good if Lu Chen didn't mess with them. If they are playing dirty tricks with Lu Chen, in this era, Lu Chen is the ancestor of assassination, so when the time comes, these The family could only ask Lu Chen not to release that thing too early.
Therefore, having this thing in Lu Chen's hands is equivalent to Lu Chen having a "gold medal to avoid death" in front of the aristocratic family. Whenever the aristocratic family has any thoughts about Lu Chen, Lu Chen will release this thing. At that time, the thousand-year foundation of the family would have to be destroyed by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's incident has made so much noise that it can be said to have shocked Chang'an. Tonight, all the topics are probably centered around Lu Chen's incident. Although there is a curfew, Pingkangfang is a "city that never sleeps", so naturally there are The news reached Pingkangfang.
The literati, poets, officials and others were all horrified after receiving the news, and they were all speculating on how furious Emperor Li Yuan would be when he heard the news tomorrow morning.
Only one person, after hearing the news, strengthened his confidence, and that was Luo Lifu. Originally Luo Lifu was still hesitant about what Qian Junnan said. After all, this matter was closely related to her in the future, but After hearing the news that Lu Chen actually dared to ruin the residence of Zheng Shanguo, the Minister of Rites, and even left in a swagger, Luo Life became determined to help Qian Junnan complete the task.
Naturally, Li Yuan also received a report from Chang Bao. Although Li Yuan was also interested in the powerful thing in Lu Chen's hand that could destroy Zheng Shanguo's house, he still directly waved Chang Bao away, giving up the idea of recruiting Lu Chen to come immediately. .
Although the patrols and the Xiao Guards on the left and right had been informed by Liu Hongji and others not to interfere with Lu Chen's actions, Lu Chen had already destroyed Zheng Shanguo's family, so naturally these people could not do anything like this again. He looked indifferent. Although they couldn't arrest Lu Chen immediately, they still had to make routine inquiries.
However, Lu Chen was accompanied by three princes of the country. These patrolling soldiers and the soldiers of Xiaowei on the left and right did not dare to get close, because among these three princes, Qin Qiong and Chai Shao were relatively easy to talk to, but Cheng Yaojin was He is known to be "not stingy", so if he went ahead rashly, he might be punished by the Duke and then yelled "Go away".
Therefore, this group of soldiers could only follow Lu Chen's team with gloomy faces, looking for an opportunity to go over and question the county man. This created a very strange scene. The four men in front of them were riding horses and talking. There was laughter. In the middle were the four commanders of the Beiwei Guard and the three personal guards of the Duke. These people were also talking and laughing among themselves. Behind them were the thirty soldiers of the Beiwei Guard. They were also all riding horses, but their faces were different. He was serious, his eyes were constantly looking around in all directions, and he was in a guarding state. Behind him were a group of haggard patrols and soldiers guarding the left and right.
Just such a team can be called a spectacle in Chang'an City.
Lu Chen and the other four people naturally saw these patrols and the left and right guards following them, but the four of them ignored them and followed them if they wanted. The four of them chatted and laughed and arrived at the Rencheng Prince's Mansion.
In front of Prince Rencheng's Mansion, everyone grabbed their mounts and dismounted. The gatekeeper knew Lu Chen. He had been sent by the housekeeper Fan Lin to wait for Lu Chen's mission. When he saw Lu Chen arriving at the gate of the palace, he hurriedly greeted him. Come up.
"Oh! Mr. Lu, you are here! My prince will ask you questions every quarter of an hour. If you don't come again, I'm afraid the prince will take people to find you!" After Yanren saluted Lu Chen, he then smiled flatteringly. He said, "You salute the three princes!" This man had also seen Qin Qiong and others, and hurriedly saluted Qin Qiong and others.
Qin Qiong and the other three also knew this old man, and said directly to him, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you!" Lu Chen looked at the old man and said with a smile.
"Ouch! Mr. Lu, please don't say that! It's so disrespectful. Please come in quickly! Please come in and invite the three gentlemen too!" Lao Yan said with a smile.
"We won't go in!" After hearing Lao Yanren's invitation, Qin Qiong smiled and waved his hand and said, "We are here to escort Lu Xiandi. Now that Lu Xiandi has arrived safely, we should retire. Come on!" Qin Qiong said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, the three princes of Qin Qiong got on their horses.
"I have three dear brothers to protect me. In a few days, I will set up a table in Lujiazhuang. Thank you to the three wise brothers!" Lu Chen said with a smile to Qin Qiong and the other three who were sitting on the horse.
"It's settled! We, old Cheng, don't want anything else! We just want to eat and drink! Dear brother, you need to prepare more wine this time!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile.
"No problem!" Lu Chen agreed simply. These three people came to stand up for themselves today at their own risk. Lu Chen had to repay this situation no matter what.
"Then we'll take our leave!" Qin Qiong and the other three rushed to Lu Chen again, cupped their hands, turned their horses' heads, and left with their guards.
"Mr. Lu, let's go in! The prince is still waiting!" After watching Qin Qiong and the others leave, the old man reminded Lu Chen.
"That's right! We can't keep the prince waiting for a long time!" After hearing Lao Yan's reminder, Lu Chen walked directly up the steps in front of the palace and got into the corner door of the palace. Su Dingfang and other four commanders also followed. After that, people filed in. As for the thirty Beiwei Guard soldiers, they were stationed on both sides of the palace gate.
Looking at the disciplined Beiwei Guards soldiers, Lao Yan nodded secretly, followed by the corner gate, and then closed the corner gate.
As for the patrols and the soldiers on the left and right who were following them, they could only sigh, and at the same time they felt a sense of relief. The leader of the team gave an order directly and led the team to continue patrolling and guarding. .
"Brother Lu, you showed off your face tonight!" As soon as Lu Chen walked to the entrance of the front hall of the palace, Li Daozong came out from the front hall to welcome him, looked at Lu Chen and said with a laugh.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to show off my face like this!" After listening to Li Daozong's words, Lu Chen smiled bitterly at Li Daozong.
"Brother Lu, please stop pretending to be depressed here!" Li Daozong knew Lu Chen well. Lu Chen would not do such a reckless thing if he was not completely sure, so he pointed it out directly to Lu Chen without any courtesy, "Lu Chen Brother, do you still have that thing that destroyed the Zheng family's gate?" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen with curiosity and desire in his eyes.
"To be honest, yes!" Lu Chen nodded, "But that thing is still in the experimental stage. In fact, I just tried it tonight, but I didn't expect it to succeed once!" Lu Chen explained to Li Daozong, "If this thing is successfully developed, the prince will guard the border, so this thing will naturally be used by the prince, but now this thing is too dangerous! It cannot be used by the prince!"
"So that's it! It seems that it was the old boy Zheng Shanguo who was so unlucky that he dared to use something useful!" Li Daozong knew that Lu Chen would not lie to him, so he could only nod his head unwillingly.
