It was said that it was floating towards him. When Lu Chen focused his eyes on the moonlight and the light of the lanterns and looked carefully, he saw that it was a group of guards patrolling in formation. The captain outside the formation was holding a lamp with "李" written on it. lantern with words.
Fortunately, Prince Zhao's back garden is not small, and there are trees in it. Even though it is winter now, all the leaves on the branches have fallen off, but the remaining branches are still densely packed. Lu Chen didn't waste any time, and went straight to the garden. He quickly hid between the branches and peeked down. After the patrolling soldiers passed by and confirmed that there were no other patrolling soldiers, he jumped down from the tree again.
"It's broken!" After leaving the back garden door, until this moment, Lu Chen discovered a problem. This problem was particularly serious because Lu Chen found that he was lost.
The Zhaojun Prince's Mansion is said to be the prince's palace, and it is also designed with five entrances. The back garden is at the last entrance, and in front is the back house. It is the residence of the Zhaojun Prince's princess and female family members. The prince has Two major hobbies, one is good wine and the other is lust!
Although this prince is only in his thirties this year, these two hobbies have already come to the fore. However, Lu Chen felt that this was Li Xiaogong sending a signal. After all, among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, except for Li Shimin, this Prince Zhao was the Countless people have made great contributions. Once Nafu Gonger raises his troops to rebel this year, this prince will have to add another achievement to his list of achievements.
If we talk about good wine, it is basically a common problem among warriors in this era. As for lust, in Lu Chen's opinion, it is more of a protective color that Li Xiaogong adds to himself. From time to time, this guy will even do some arrogant and lewd things. I'm afraid it's also because of this. The reason why I acted opposite myself this time is probably to help me cheat the family in acting, and on the other hand, I also have these thoughts in it.
Although Li Xiaogong at this time has not yet raised hundreds of dancers of all kinds, he still has thirty or forty. Of course, this is what Li Xiaogong mentioned to Lu Chen. Li Xiaogong once said to Lu Chen, "There are many dancers in this palace." There are dozens of female concubines of various colors. If you like it, you can go to the palace to choose."
After leaving the back garden at this time, Lu Chen found that the back house of the Prince's Mansion was actually brightly lit, and the patrol team's level of protection had obviously exceeded Lu Chen's expectations. There were at least three to four patrol teams patrolling and guarding here, plus The bright lights made Lu Chen feel a little troubled.
It wasn't that Lu Chen couldn't avoid these patrols with his skills, but Lu Chen felt troublesome looking at those rooms. After all, he didn't know which room Li Xiaogong would sleep in tonight, and he was lost. If there is any action in the team, at least there is a target, design drawings and other information.
Now Lu Chen has a target, but there is no topographic map of the palace, and there is no other information to provide, so he can't go from room to room! If there was no one in the room or the people in the room were not doing any special activities, then it would be okay. But if they saw something indescribable, then it would be okay.
"Is it tongue grabbing?" Lu Chen directly climbed up on the roof of the corridor, bent down and looked at the patrols, thinking in his heart, but Lu Chen felt that this method was not very good, and it was extremely easy to be discovered. The patrols The number of people is fixed. If you suddenly find that one person is missing, wouldn't it be directly exposed?
The patrol team was patrolling below, while Lu Chen was on the roof of the corridor, bending down and quietly touching the rooms. Although he couldn't see, he could always listen to the sounds!
Lu Chen followed the corridor and went to those rooms. In this era, there were no mobile phones, computers, and TVs in later generations. There was no entertainment at night. Basically, at this time, he was either in bed or preparing to go to bed.
Moving forward vigilantly, after confirming that no one was around, Lu Chen turned over and jumped off the roof of the corridor. Then he leaned directly under the window lattice of a house. He slowly poked his head and leaned his ear close to the window lattice to listen. The sound in the room, the window lattice paper on the window lattice was illuminated orange by the candlelight, and the laughter of several women came from the room, but Li Xiaogong's voice was not heard, Lu Chen retracted his head and looked down. A room was touched.
After confirming several houses in this way, Lu Chen came to the conclusion that Li Xiaogong had created a kingdom of girls in his back house! There were several women living together in several rooms in a row. Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder, this guy Li Xiaogong is quite decent and has a lot of fun!
At this moment, a light suddenly appeared in the distance. Lu Chen didn't care to continue to complain about Li Daozong in his heart. He ducked into the shadow of the corner of the room and peeked at the light in the distance, because Lu Chen heard As the light appeared, the footsteps approaching were a little messy, obviously different from the patrol.
Lu Chen peeked behind the corner of the room to look into the light, and then he saw Li Xiaogong, dressed in brocade clothes, walking in his direction accompanied by an attendant holding a lantern.
"It's better to come early than to come by chance!" Seeing Li Xiaogong appear, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, if Li Xiaogong was in a female family member's room, and if he jumped in, it happened that Li Xiaogong was doing something indescribable. Did you break the pot?
At this moment, an old man beside Li Xiaogong was heard bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Lu County has been staying at the Prince's Mansion in Rencheng and has not come out until now!"
"Really?" Li Xiaogong nodded after hearing the old man's words, "Uncle Fu, what kind of person do you think Mr. Lu is?" Li Xiaogong turned to look at the old man beside him and asked, and Lu Chen also knew who this old man was. Well, this old man is Li Fu, the steward of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Li Fu is the long-term follower of Li Xiaogong's father, Li An, the prince of Xiping County. From the day when Li An became an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Fu has been with Li An. It can be said that Li Xiaogong is the "Fu Bo" who looks good when he grows up. Yes, many times, what Li Fu said in Prince Zhao's Mansion was equivalent to Li Xiaogong's words. Li Xiaogong had never treated Li Fu as a servant.
"This man, Mr. Lu, is the only one I have ever seen! He dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do, and he is also extremely talented. Given time, his status will definitely not be lower than that of the prince!" Li Fu stroked his beard. , squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment.
"Below me?" Hearing Li Fu's evaluation of Lu Chen, Li Xiaogong laughed directly, "Uncle Fu, I didn't expect you to make mistakes!"
"Oh? Why did the prince say that?" Hearing Li Xiaogong's words, Li Fu was slightly startled, looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.
"Then Lu Chen's ambition is not within the Tang Dynasty, but under this dome!" Li Xiaogong looked up at the stars in the sky and said with some emotion and envy, but he didn't know that Li Xiaogong was feeling emotion and envy because of Lu Chen's The reason why his ideals are so great is because Lu Chen dares to do something for his ideals.
"This dome covers the whole world. Duke Lu's ambitions are indeed lofty!" After hearing Li Xiaogong's words, Li Fu also said with some emotion, "Is this why the prince is willing to cooperate with Duke Lu?" Li Fu asked in a low voice. .
"Because Lu Chen said that everything he did was for the Tang Dynasty, and everything I did was for the Tang Dynasty. Since it was all for the Tang Dynasty of the Li family, why couldn't I cooperate with him? He said However, I am looking forward to the day when the Tang Dynasty will become the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets'..." Li Xiaogong looked up at the starry sky and murmured with longing in his eyes.
"What does "the sun never set" mean? Will the sun still set?" Li Fu didn't understand what "the sun never sets" meant and asked directly.
"Then Duke Lu told me that the sun never sets is just a metaphor. It means that everything the sun shines is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people the sun shines on are the people of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xiaogong withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Fu explained with a smile.
"What a lofty ambition!" Hearing Li Xiaogong's explanation, Li Fu said with some surprise, "It would be great if I can still serve the prince by then!" Thinking of the scene his prince said, and then thinking of his age Years old, Li Fu couldn't help but said with emotion.
"I think Uncle Fu might see that day!" At this moment, Lu Chen, who had been eavesdropping in the corner of the room, walked out from the shadow of the corner with a smile.
"Who!?" Seeing such a person in black attire approaching his prince, the guards around Li Xiaogong drew out their swords and looked at Lu Chen warily.
"My lord, is this how you treat guests?" Lu Chen directly chose to ignore the blades that shone with cold light under the moonlight and looked at Li Xiaogong with a smile.
"Uncle Fu, am I right? Duke Lu will definitely show up!" Li Xiaogong waved his hand directly, signaling the guards around him to put away their weapons, and said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect that your majestic Chang'an County How dare you show up like this!" Li Xiaogong pointed at Lu Chen's outfit and said with a smile.
"There is no other way! I have to avoid people's attention and see the prince, so I have no choice but to do this!" Lu Chen said with an indifferent attitude and shrugged.
"What I didn't expect the most is that your dignified Duke of Chang'an County would actually do such a sneaky thing. If this spreads out... tsk tsk!" Li Xiaogong directly teased Lu Chen's black outfit, and then smashed it He spoke twice.
"But you, Prince Zhao, didn't expect to be touched by me so easily, did you?" Lu Chen responded directly and mercilessly to Li Xiaogong's teasing.
The two looked at each other, and laughed in unison.
