"Is it related to the prosperous age?" Hearing Li Daozong suddenly mention the "prosperous age", Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong with some doubts. Obviously, he didn't understand what Li Daozong's closing the door to him had to do with the "prosperous age".

"Yes!" Li Daozong picked up the tea cup and took a sip and nodded. "I wonder if Brother Lu has been to the 'Prosperity' recently?" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and asked.

"No! With so many things to do in the next day, how can I have time to keep an eye on the 'Prosperity'? Besides, everything is running normally in the 'Prosperity' now, so why should I be distracted by this 'Prosperity'?" Lu Chen said the same way. After taking a sip from the tea cup, he said calmly.

"The cause of this matter is this 'prosperous age'. Now our prosperous age can be said to be like making money every day, so it will naturally make people jealous. I won't say who those jealous people will be, but I believe Brother Lu will also Are you clear?" Li Daozong put down the tea cup and looked at Lu Chen and said.

"It's natural! It's just those aristocratic families!" Lu Chen also put down the tea cup, curled his lips and said disdainfully. Lu Chen knew very well what kind of faces and how urinary those aristocratic families were, so he was jealous of the aristocratic families." "Prosperity", Lu Chen was not surprised at all.

"What? Those aristocratic families still want to plan for the 'Prosperous Age'?" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and asked, if these aristocratic families really dared to interfere with his business, then Lu Chen would have nothing wrong with them.

"Are they the ones who don't want to make up their minds?" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Daozong said with a smile, "But on the face of it, they definitely don't dare. After all, everyone knows that behind the 'Prosperity' is you, the 'Jing' The street tiger is in charge!" Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard that Li Daozong also used "street tiger" to describe himself.

I'm afraid there are too many people talking about this. The so-called "people's mouth makes gold, and accumulation destroys bones" was originally a joke spread in Chang'an City. As a result, so many people now call themselves that. It seems that the name of "Tiger Cleansing the Streets" Head, I can take my seat directly.

"What is this? Your Highness, King Qin, still said that I am the dominant tyrant in Chang'an City!" Although he heard Li Daozong teasing himself as a "street cleaning tiger", Lu Chen smiled in agreement and looked at Li Daozong with pride. Li Shimin said what he called him, with an attitude of not being ashamed but proud. Li Daozong, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to tease Lu Chen, failed to get what he wanted.

"Is Chang'an City the first tyrant? I think Brother Lu is very suitable!" Originally, Lu Chen wanted to use this as an excuse to fight back against Li Daozong, but unexpectedly, Li Daozong just nodded in response, and Lu Chen's counterattack was regarded as such. It ended in failure.

"Okay! Don't mention this! Let's talk about what the 'Prosperity' is all about!" Lu Chen felt that he already had so many titles, so he didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. The key points were more important, so he directly He looked at Li Daozong and said.

"Those people definitely don't dare to compete with you openly, but to trick you behind your back is naturally a common method used by those people!" Li Daozong put away his teasing look, looked at Lu Chen and said, "If they want to deal with you, they Obviously people can't do it, so naturally we have to look for candidates, and this king's uncle is naturally the best choice!" At this point, Li Daozong laughed directly, and the smile was obviously mocking those people who didn't know how to choose. Target.

"That's true!" Lu Chen nodded directly, "In their opinion, although I have interacted with Prince Zhao, there is definitely no friendship. They were sure of this, and then ran to Prince Zhao to fan the wind. , Are you going to light a will-o'-the-wisp?" Lu Chen continued to speculate after Li Daozong's words.

"Brother Lu is really smart!" Li Daozong gave Lu Chen a thumbs up, "Even if you miss, you're not far off!"

"Okay!" Looking at Li Daozong's appearance, Lu Chen waved his hand directly, "Any normal person with some brains can guess this kind of thing! It's nothing more than driving a tiger to devour a wolf, and then they reap the benefits. It’s just for profit!” Lu Chen sneered and said, “I’m just trying to trick you like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind you!”

"That's probably what they mean! Apparently they want my uncle to fight you until both sides suffer, and then they come out to take the opportunity to clean up the mess!" Li Daozong nodded, obviously agreeing with Lu Chen's analysis.

"Then they must be prepared to steal the chicken but lose the rice!" Lu Chen sneered.

Now that he knows the whole story, Lu Chen will naturally not let go of this opportunity. The only thing left is to figure out how to use this opportunity to cooperate with Li Xiaogong and trick those aristocratic families again.

"In this way, the carriages and guards I brought this time will stay with you. Tonight, I am going to visit the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion at night!" Lu Chen directly told Li Daozong his plan.

"Are you just going to spy on Li Xiaogong at night like this?" Although he has never seen Lu Chen's skills, Li Daozong is not a fool. If Lu Chen didn't have absolute confidence in his skills, how could he come up with a plan to spy on Li Xiaogong's mansion at night, but after watching After seeing Lu Chen's rather luxurious clothes, Li Daozong frowned.

This large robe and fur cloak are not suitable for night walking.

"Then you have to borrow a powerful outfit from the prince!" Lu Chen looked directly at Li Daozong and said with a smile.

"This is not a problem. Brother Lu, are you really planning to visit Prince Zhao's residence alone at night?" Although Li Daozong felt that Lu Chen dared to say this, his skills must be extraordinary, but he still asked with some worry.

"It's inconvenient to have too many people!" Lu Chen said firmly.

"Okay!" Li Daozong nodded.

In the evening, Lu Chen had dinner at Li Daozong's place. In winter, it gets dark early, at noon, which is equivalent to around eight o'clock in later generations. It is already completely dark because it is approaching the curfew time. The streets have become much deserted, and the occasional footsteps outside the palace are mostly from the patrols and soldiers patrolling the streets at night.

Lu Chen wore a black outfit borrowed from Li Daozong. Inside the black outfit, Lu Chen was wearing a bulletproof vest. This outfit belonged to Li Daozong. The two of them were of similar stature, so Li Daozong chose a set of his own. The fancy outfit was given to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen stood at the root of the back garden wall of Prince Li Daozong's palace. He raised his legs and stretched out his hands. After making sure that nothing affected his movement, he turned around and nodded to Li Daozong who was standing behind him.

"Brother Lu, the guards at my uncle's house are all those who have followed my uncle and have been on the battlefield for a long time. We must be careful in everything!" Li Daozong reminded, looking at Lu Chen, who was dressed in black.

"I understand!" Lu Chen raised his hand directly to Li Daozong and thanked Li Daozong for reminding him, "This time I visited Prince Zhao's Mansion at night, it was just to have a night talk with Prince Zhao, and it was not to commit murder or arson! Even if you were attacked by those If the guards find out, I believe they won't do anything!" Lu Chen smiled and said to Li Daozong, but Lu Chen believed that with his own skills, it would be quite difficult for the guards to find him if he concentrated on avoiding him.

"In that case, I wish Brother Lu a smooth trip!" Li Daozong said directly to Lu Chen, cupping his hands. At the same time, he also looked forward to seeing Lu Chen's skills. After all, this man is also leading troops in battles. The prince who came out immediately also had a preference for people who practiced martial arts.

"Then let me borrow the prince's good words! Farewell!" Lu Chen cupped his hands towards Li Daozong, turned around, rushed to the wall of the back garden in a few steps, stepped on the wall directly, and used his strength to directly reach out and grab the top of the wall, and followed With a strong effort from the waist, he turned over and disappeared from the top of the back garden wall.

"What a skill!" Seeing Lu Chen's smooth wall-climbing operations, Li Daozong couldn't help but admire him. At the same time, he thought about it in his mind and compared his own skills with Lu Chen's previous moves. Then Li Daozong realized that he really couldn't be as clean and crisp as Lu Chen.

Lu Chen climbed over the wall of the back garden, grabbed the top of the wall with his hands, and jumped down into the alley. He looked up at the moon in the sky. It would be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in two days. At this time, the moon in the sky had begun to approach the full moon. Tonight It was still a nice day, and the silvery light of the moon was shining down, making the night seem not dim.

Lu Chen identified the direction and walked directly out of the alley. While avoiding the patrols and the left and right guards, he walked through the streets and alleys, and reached the outside of the back garden wall of Li Xiaogong's Zhaojun Prince's Mansion.

Lu Chen raised his head and took a look. The courtyard wall of the Prince Zhao's Mansion was actually higher than the wall of Li Daozong's Prince Rencheng's Mansion. However, this height still did not faze Lu Chen. Lu Chen took the medicine and climbed over the wall directly. He was about to jump into the back garden of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

As a result, just when Lu Chen was about to jump off the wall, he suddenly discovered that there was a bright light under his feet. After carefully distinguishing it through the moonlight, Lu Chen discovered that the smooth land under his feet was actually a pond. Lu Chen was squatting on the wall. I was secretly glad that I didn't jump in a hurry. If I hadn't seen clearly and jumped in, wouldn't I have just plunged my foot into the pond?

Because you can see through the bright moonlight that the ice on the pond is not thick. If Lu Chen, with his height and weight, jumped directly, he would have to "plant rice". Not only would the guards catch him by then, , if this matter is known to his "friends", it will definitely become "black material" for his life.

Lu Chen took advantage of the moonlight and moved carefully on the wall, looking for a place to stay. After all, there were tiles on the wall. If he was not careful, he would probably crush the tiles with one kick. Any sound would cause the tiles to break. They will provoke the guards from Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Finally, Lu Chen found a place to stay and jumped into the courtyard. As soon as Lu Chen landed, he saw a lantern floating in his direction.
