Lu Chen stepped into the front hall and saw Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao, the state ministers, sitting there drinking tea and chatting.
"My dear friends, you seem to have a lot of time!" Lu Chen said with a smile as he cupped his hands at everyone.
"Ouch! Brother Xian is back!" Seeing Lu Chen walking in from outside, everyone stood up to greet him, and Cheng Yaojin's broken gong voice started to make a noise.
"This is not the end of the auction. We have figured it out and have nothing else to do, so we are going to come to Brother Xian to ask for a drink!" Qin Qiong said to Lu Chen with a smile.
"Second brother, you are in great shape now? Otherwise, you wouldn't be bewitched by this guy, right?" Lu Chen didn't believe that Qin Qiong would shamelessly come to his place to ask for a drink. It was 100% that the shameless Cheng Yaojin on the side was bewitched, Lu Chen Chen said and glanced at Cheng Yaojin who was standing aside.
"Sure enough, my dear brother has a sharp eye!" Before Qin Qiong could say anything, Chai Shao said with a smile, and even gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.
"Because I know that this is what Brother Cheng likes to do!" Lu Chen waved to Chai Shao with a smile and pointed at Cheng Yaojin.
"Alas! I didn't expect our old Cheng's reputation to be so bad!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head and sighed after being pointed out by Lu Chen.
"I say Mr. Su Guo, please stop acting in front of me, okay? Can I still starve you when you come here?" Looking at Cheng Yaojin's pretentious look, Lu Chen glanced directly at Cheng Yaojin. Said, the main reason is that Cheng Yaojin, who is so big and thick, is shaking his head and sighing like this, which is really eye-catching!
"That's right! Speaking of reputation, I heard that Brother Xian has a new hobby?" Cheng Yaojin seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Lu Chen and said with bright eyes, but his expression looked like With bad intentions.
"What new hobby?" Of course Lu Chen knew that Cheng Yaojin couldn't spit out ivory, but he still followed Cheng Yaojin's words and wanted to know what this guy could say.
"On the way here, I heard that brother Xian likes men. Actually, this is nothing. If brother Xian needs it, I can help you find some prostitutes. How about it?" Cheng Yaojin approached Lu Chen. , said with a smile.
"Oh! This is what happened!" Looking at Cheng Yaojin's shameless expression, Lu Chen really wanted to punch him, but he still watched Cheng Yaojin's performance patiently, and even nodded cooperatively. , "It's true, but I don't like those prostitutes, male prostitutes and the like, but I really admire men like Brother Cheng. How about Brother Cheng staying at Yudi's place at night?" Lu Chen said He also gave Cheng Yaojin a flirtatious look. Not to mention, Lu Chen really felt as if he was flirtatious at this moment.
Lu Chen's look directly made Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and others who were watching the excitement tremble, because this look made these people confused for a moment whether what Lu Chen said was true or false, and Cheng Yaojin He even dodged and jumped back, keeping at least more than ten feet away from Lu Chen, and even put up a posture to look at Lu Chen warily.
Originally, Cheng Yaojin wanted to tease Lu Chen with this matter, but he didn't expect Lu Chen to come so suddenly. Cheng Yaojin's heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell whether what Lu Chen said was true or false.
In this era, it may not be good for your reputation if this matter spreads out, but in future generations, isn't this matter just a matter of "coming out"? That’s nothing! Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin's vigilant eyes and thought to himself: "You little boy! Fight with me! I'll scare you to death!"
"Brother Cheng, why are you running away! Brother Yu has been in love with you for a long time!" Lu Chen immediately stepped closer to Cheng Yaojin.
"Stop it! Brother Xian, Brother Yu was just joking!" Cheng Yaojin was really trembling in his heart. Lu Chen's figure was so scary that Cheng Yaojin felt his scalp numb.
"Second brother, brother Chai, help me capture the Duke of Su, and give each of you five bottles of good wine!" Lu Chen looked at the fleeing Cheng Yaojin and said directly to Qin Qiong and Chai Shao on the side.
Qin Qiong and Chai Shao saw Lu Chen's joking eyes, and they immediately understood that Lu Chen was obviously trying to tease Cheng Yaojin. They immediately stood up and helped Lu Chen start to intercept him one after another. Cheng Yaojin.
"Second brother, brother Chai Xiandi, what do you mean?" Being intercepted by Chai Shao and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin immediately had nowhere to escape and shouted.
"Hey! We don't want to either! But money and silk are so touching! I'll sacrifice you for a happy family. If you know the rules, just accept it!" Qin Qiong stroked his beard and stood in front of Cheng Yaojin with a smile and said.
"That's right, Brother Cheng, just sacrifice yourself for everyone!" Chai Shao, standing behind Cheng Yaojin, nodded in agreement and smiled.
"Isn't the friendship between us old brothers over the years not as good as those bottles of wine?" Being blocked by Qin Qiong and Chai Shao one after another, Cheng Yaojin suddenly had nowhere to escape, while Lu Chen on the side was walking step by step. Walking towards Cheng Yaojin.
"If you can offer a higher price, it's not impossible for our brothers to let you go!" Chai Shao said with a smile behind Cheng Yaojin.
As soon as Chai Shao said this, Cheng Yaojin really couldn't answer. After all, Lu Chen had the wine. If he had it, would he still drag these two people to Lu Chen's place? But at this time, Cheng Yaojin also saw Lu Chen's teasing eyes, and immediately understood that Lu Chen was obviously making fun of him!
"Brother Lu Xian, I am wrong! Please let me go!" Cheng Yaojin was really unambiguous and bowed directly to Lu Chen and said.
"Oops, you discovered it!" Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had asked for mercy, he naturally couldn't continue teasing Cheng Yaojin. Lu Chen could only say this with a smile, "It's Chinese New Year! It's fun to make a fuss!"
"Dear brother! You are having fun! You scared my brother just now! He almost thought that he would be in danger at night!" Several people sat down again, Cheng Yaojin said with a lingering fear.
"You guys are here just for a meal, right?" Lu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at the three of them and asked.
"It's not your business! Although Zhijie just meant to tease my dear brother, what he said is indeed true. The three of us were already talking about it on the way here. This matter is really weird!" Qin Qiong looked at Lu Chen and frowned slightly.
After all, Lu Chen just took Princess Langya disguised as a man for a walk on the street, but the rumor spread quickly. Qin Qiong and others heard about it on the way to Lujiazhuang. The speed of the spread It was so fast that Qin Qiong and others unconsciously felt that there was something fishy about it.
"Brother Xian, is the person with you..." Chai Shao interrupted at this time, but he did not finish his words, but pointed directly in the direction of Chang'an City.
"It's indeed Princess Langya!" Lu Chen said without any concern.
"Oh! But there is something fishy in this matter! Brother Wei thinks that someone may have deliberately spread the news. You are quite at odds with those people from the aristocratic families. Moreover, when His Majesty announced the marriage grant last time, many people were dissatisfied. !" Qin Qiong looked at Lu Chen and reminded.
"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded, "If I say that this group of people wasn't involved, Yu Di will definitely not believe it. This is a good opportunity to attack Yu Di. Since those people don't dare to come frontally, they will stumble behind his back. Their methods are really what they are good at, but it doesn't matter, it also means that they don't dare to bring it up tomorrow. Second brother, believe it or not, no one will dare to mention this matter at the court meeting!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Why? Since we have such a good opportunity, have they ever replayed it?" Qin Qiong suddenly looked at Lu Chen in confusion and asked.
"First of all, second brother, do you remember that Yudi mentioned the rumor in the court before?" Lu Chen looked at Qin Qiong and asked.
"Remember!" Qin Qiong nodded. How could he not remember that Lu Chen had beaten the censor outside the Tai Chi Hall because of this "rumored thing".
"One more thing, not only is Yudi involved in this matter, but Her Royal Highness the Princess is also involved! They don't know, but Your Majesty knows! It's really going to get really involved. If the matter of the Princess leaving the palace incognito is revealed, then... ." At this point, Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, but picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
"That's right!" Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh and said, "If these old boys really dare to mention this matter in the court, then His Majesty will definitely order a thorough investigation. Even if it is a pretense of thorough investigation, Your Majesty I’m afraid we already know everything about this matter by now, and those people will definitely have to face His Majesty’s wrath by then!”
"Last point, if anyone dares to mention this matter, I will prepare a 'visit' for you!" Lu Chen put down the tea cup and said with a smile, but the smile on Qin Qiong and others' eyes was obviously malicious.
And Qin Qiong and the other two knew that what Lu Chen mentioned earlier was basically secondary. The most important thing was the last "visit". Which official from aristocratic family is not afraid of Lu Chen's visit now. If Lu Chen visits him because of this matter, After visiting, it is not possible to say that it is not a matter of demolishing the door, but that the house may collapse.
"Okay! Since my dear brother has already dealt with it, I won't mention this matter here anymore!" Seeing that Lu Chen had said so, the few of them stopped entangled in this matter.
"My dear friends, have you forgotten what you promised to your foolish brother?" At this moment, Lu Chen looked directly at a few people and asked.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Several people looked at Lu Chen one after another, with confusion in their eyes. They couldn't remember for a while what they had promised Lu Chen but didn't do anything.
"My dear brothers, you agreed to help Yu brother train troops. Yu brother has always kept this in mind. Could it be that all of you have forgotten it?" Lu Chen looked at the three of them and asked with a smile.
"Ouch! This is the fault of Brother Yu and others! We have indeed forgotten this matter! How about we start in a few days?" Qin Qiong said quickly after being reminded by Lu Chen.
