Hearing Chai Shao's words, Lu Chen shrank his neck. He knew very well what kind of temper Princess Pingyang had. After staying in the Detachment of Women for so long, if Lu Chen didn't understand what kind of temper this commander had, he would He was in vain.
"Future brother-in-law, is Your Highness really angry with me?" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao cautiously and asked.
Hearing Lu Chen call him "future brother-in-law," Chai Shao immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Chen, and teased Lu Chen with a smile on his lips: "I didn't expect that you, County Master Lu, are also afraid of people!"
"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded cooperatively.
"It's rare! It's rare!" Chai Shao looked Lu Chen up and down with a smile on his face, "It's hard to say how angry you are, but when the servant reported your arrival just now, His Highness was wiping the sword!" Chai Shao said directly. Said with good intentions.
"Then I'd better say goodbye!" As soon as he heard Li Xiuning wiping his sword, Lu Chen raised his hand directly to Chai Shao, turned around, and prepared to leave.
"With His Highness's temper, if you don't go in to see her when you come, do you think she will lead the troops directly to Lujiazhuang? You are being 'disrespectful'!" Chai Shao raised his eyebrows at Lu Chen and said.
"Hey!" After hearing Chai Shao's words, Lu Chen could only sigh as if he was resigned to his fate, and followed Chai Shao into the front hall.
As soon as she walked into the front hall, she looked up and saw Li Xiuning sitting upright on a chair. Her sword was slung across the coffee table. The lantern tassel on the hilt of the sword was hanging beside the coffee table and was swaying in the wind. As for sitting on it, Li Xiuning, who was sitting on the chair, was looking at Lu Chen with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Chang'an County and the Military Advisor of the Detachment of Women, Lu Chen, would like to pay homage to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!" Lu Chen waved his sleeves and greeted Li Xiuning respectfully. Seeing Lu Chen's respectful look, Chai Shao suppressed a smile. He went to sit on a chair nearby.
"Lu Chen, do you know your guilt?" Li Xiuning suppressed a smile in her heart and tried to keep a straight face. The official looked at Lu Chen seriously and asked.
"I...I don't know!" Lu Chen pondered for a moment and was about to start the denial mode directly.
"You went to the city this time to meet Aye, and also to meet the eldest brother and third brother. Why don't you come to meet me? With this alone, I can punish you for the crime of disrespect!" Li Xiuning said directly. He said Lu Chen's "crime" with a very serious face, "Besides, I am your superior officer, and you also hold the position of military advisor of the Detachment of Women. Shouldn't you come to see me early?"
"This..." After hearing what Li Xiuning said, Lu Chen couldn't really refute and deny it. After all, Li Xiuning's words were reasonable. He had indeed neglected etiquette in this area, and Li Xiuning was angry because of this. It’s really not easy to refute.
"I am guilty! It's just..." Lu Chen quickly responded with his hands in hand, but he was still prepared to defend himself.
"Since you know your crime, you should be punished! Come on, pull it down and give it to the Tenth Army stick first!" Li Xiuning shouted directly, and suddenly several people rushed in from outside the front hall door. The leader was Ye Zhu, followed by Ye Zhu Four guards with big muscles and round waists rushed directly towards Lu Chen and prepared to extend their hands.
"No more fun! No more fun!" Seeing that these people were really ready to come over and push him, Lu Chen gave up his game. He originally planned to play with Li Xiuning and let Li Xiuning vent his anger, but he didn't know that this guy just When he wanted to get himself a ten-army stick, Lu Chen gave up and sat down on a chair beside him angrily.
Seeing Lu Chen's rogue look, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao couldn't help laughing.
Li Xiuning waved directly to the guards brought in by Ye Zhu. The guards saluted Li Xiuning knowingly and then exited the front hall, while Ye Zhu pursed his lips and snickered and went to Li Xiuning's side. Stand still.
"Commander, do you think I really don't dare to hit you?" After a while, Li Xiuning stopped smiling and looked at Lu Chen and asked seriously.
"Of course Your Highness has this power, but why have I not come to see His Highness for so long? Shouldn't Your Highness know better than I do?" Lu Chen sat on a chair and looked at Li Xiuning and said, with a look on his face that said, "You know what you're asking."
"How's it going?" Just when Lu Chen finished speaking, Chai Shao looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and asked, "I don't think this guy is afraid! So, my husband's bottle of Erguotou..." Chai Shao He gave Li Xiuning a "you know" look and at the same time hooked his hand at Li Xiuning.
"Hmph!" Li Xiuning glared at Chai Shao directly, "Ye Zhu, go back and get a bottle of Erguotou for your consort!" After saying that, he glared at Lu Chen, obviously complaining that Lu Chen caused her to lose a bottle. Erguotou was given to Chai Shao. As for Chai Shao, he didn't care at all about Li Xiuning's glare at him. Instead, he had a pleased expression on his face.
"Your Highness, Brother Chai, it's a bit unethical for you to bet with me!" After hearing the conversation between the couple, Lu Chen still didn't understand what was going on? Obviously, the couple was betting on whether Li Xiuning could scare them!
"To be honest, His Highness is indeed a little angry about the fact that you didn't come to pay His Highness a New Year greeting!" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Chai Shao turned to look at Lu Chen and said, "As for my brother, I also think that this is what I want to do for you. That's a bit rude!" Chai Shao put away his smile and looked at Lu Chen.
"Isn't there nothing we can do about this? Besides, the war is coming, I have to be prepared, right? Besides, I came here to apologize for being rude!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning and Chai Shao and said with a smile. , and at the same time, he waved directly to Liu Jing behind him. Liu Jing took off the baggage on his back and put it on the coffee table next to Lu Chen.
When Liu Jing opened the bag, the two bulletproof vests inside immediately caught the eyes of Li Xiuning and Chai Shao.
"What is this?" Li Xiuning looked at the body armor and asked directly in confusion.
"This is the inner armor I made based on the book left by my ancestor!" Lu Chen introduced, pointing to the body armor.
"Brother, I have never seen this material before!" Chai Shao stood up directly, came to the body armor, stretched out his hand to touch the material of the body armor, and then said with some surprise.
"The material used to make this inner armor was created by my ancestor. I am just making it according to the method left by my ancestor!" Lu Chen said ambiguously.
As for Li Xiuning and Chai Shao, they nodded and immediately believed Lu Chen's words. After all, whether it was the medical books that Lu Chen gave to Sun Simiao or the various "weird and bizarre" things that Lu Chen created, they all said they were from him. He learned it from the "immortal master". They themselves thought that Lu Chen was "relegated to the mortal world", and the "immortal master" who left in Lu Chen's mouth was naturally one of the immortals who created such an unexpected thing. It is also a matter of course.
Chai Shao directly reached out and picked up a body armor, weighed it, "Your Highness, this inner armor is much lighter than our Zhankai inner armor!" After Chai Shao put down the body armor, he turned to look at Li Xiuning and said.
"I just don't know if this defense is the same as the armor of you and me?" Li Xiuning looked at the body armor and asked with a slight frown.
"This inner armor can protect against knives, spears, and arrows!" Lu Chen said to Li Xiuning with a smile, "A body armor that cannot be penetrated by 7.62 mm bullets can still not protect against things like you!" Lu Chen thought in his heart. Secret passage.
"Oh?" After hearing Lu Chen's confident words, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao raised their eyebrows in unison, but their expressions were somewhat unconvincing.
After all, "hearing is believing, seeing is believing", so Lu Chen naturally saw the expressions of doubt on the faces of the couple. Lu Chen stood up without saying a word.
"Your Highness, please lend me your sword!" Lu Chen came directly to Li Xiuning and said with his hands raised.
Li Xiuning nodded, and Ye Zhu on the side directly presented Li Xiuning's sword hands on the coffee table to Lu Chen.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Chen thanked him, took the sword with both hands, and drew the sword out of its sheath with a "Canglang" sound. The blade of the sword shone with colorful light in the sun. Obviously, Li Xiuning's sword was also a special one. A hundred-refined sword, "What a sword!" Lu Chen praised directly.
The next step was just like showing off the body armor to Li Daozong, except this time the body armor was held up by Liu Jing with both hands. After slashing and stabbing, the body armor was still fine. Lu Chen directly sheathed the sword and returned the sword. Gave it to Li Xiuning.
"What a good thing!" Looking at the intact body armor, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao exclaimed in unison.
"Okay! I won't hold you accountable for your impoliteness!" Li Xiuning waved her hand directly and motioned to Ye Zhu on the side to put away the body armor.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Chen smiled directly at Li Xiuning and said.
"Xian brother, I heard you say the words 'war is coming' just now. Where did this 'war is coming' come from?" Chai Shao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Lu Chen asked very curiously.
These generals who lead troops to fight are very sensitive to the word "war". If Lu Chen hadn't shown off his body armor, Chai Shao would have wanted to ask this question.
"As the New Year approaches, King Rencheng will return to Lingzhou, and King Zhao will pacify Lingnan. Isn't this a big event?" Lu Chen also asked after taking a sip of tea.
"That's all normal! As Chengfan is the general manager of Lingzhou, he naturally has to be stationed in Lingzhou. As for cousin Xiaogong's pacification of Lingnan, it's not a big battle. After all, Lingnan is a piece of loose sand, and he is just going there. It's just about making government orders clear, so why talk about a war?" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen and said softly, while Chai Shao on the side nodded in agreement.
"Does Jieli Khan and Master Liang count it as a big battle?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning, then at Chai Shao, and asked again with a smile. At the same time, he put down the tea cup in his hand and quietly Waiting for the two people to answer, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao looked at Lu Chen in astonishment after hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question.
