Chapter 850 Going up to court? Dogs don’t even go
"Master's family, today another eunuch said that you entered the palace to court, but the old man slapped him back."
Zhao Mansion, Zhao Chen got up just after the sun was over, and the doorman Lao Huang talked to Zhao Chen about what happened in the morning with his hands on his back.
Zhao Chen couldn't figure out what the origin of this guy, Lao Huang.
When the Zhao family was recruiting servants, the old Huang Mao volunteered to come over and said that he would be a gatekeeper for the Zhao family.
Seeing that he was not dressed and sloppy, Zhao Chen even lacked several teeth. He thought that if he didn't give him a chance, he might starve to death in some corner.
So he stayed.
But Zhao Chen didn't expect that this old guy was actually a master.
At least no one in the academy seems to be the opponent of this old guy.
Whoever dared to climb over the wall and came in was directly pressed to the ground and beaten up by Lao Huang.
Even Zhao Chen himself was often locked outside the mansion by the old guy.
He also used the excuse that Zhao Chen would not return at night, so he simply didn't come back.
If it weren't for seeing the old guy being pitiful, Zhao Chen would have driven him away long ago.
But today, Zhao Chen is very satisfied with Lao Huang's performance.
Those who disturb their sleep have to be driven out with one stick.
Go to court?
Dogs don't go to court!
"Old Huang, you performed very well today. I decided to reward you with a jar of wine." Zhao Chen said leisurely while lying on the lounge chair, bathing in the winter sun.
When it comes to wine, the old yellow eyes are straight.
He had no other hobbies, so he thought that he could drink the wine made by Zhao Chen himself every day.
That taste, tsk...
As he spoke, Lao Huang's wrinkled old face came to Zhao Chen.
“Master’s family…”
"Stay away from me!" Zhao Chen suddenly stood up, and Lao Huang's face that seemed to be crying and laughing really scared him.
"Lao Huang, what is your origin?" Zhao Chen sat up and looked at Lao Huang.
With Lao Huang's skills, it is definitely not a simple product.
After learning the skills of murder, Cheng Chumo and others have absolutely no bad skills.
But even so, they can't take two moves in Lao Huang's hands.
Can an ordinary old man have such skills?
Zhao Chen doesn't believe it.
There was nothing wrong today, Zhao Chen wanted to find out the origin of Lao Huang.
"Master, hasn't the origin of the old servant been told several times to you and your wife?"
"The old servant lives in Hedong County and has never married in his life. He is old now..." Lao Huang began to play the old tune with Zhao Chen again.
Zhao Chen has heard this countless times.
Every time he asked or Li Ruoshuang, Lao Huang used this to make excuses him.
Zhao Chen naturally didn't believe it.
"Enough, I'm tired of listening to what you said, either." Zhao Chen waved his hand to interrupt Lao Huang's words.
If Lao Huang doesn't say it himself, Zhao Chen won't force him.
"Old Huang, I will first say harsh words. No matter where you are from, if you have any ill-behaved to me or the people around me."
"I won't spare you easily." Zhao Chen looked at Lao Huang, and his tone of speaking was also very calm.
It sounds like it's just a normal conversation with someone.
Old Huang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and turned around and left the yard.
"Zhao Chen, you said that this old Huang is really strange. There are so many people in Chang'an City, why did we come here?" Wu Yu leaned over his head from the side and muttered.
It would be fine if you say you were scolded by Zhao Chen, after all, you live in Zhao Chen's house, eat his and use his.
I will endure it when I am scolded.
But Lao Huang often said that she was Wu Zi, and she would chase her up and down with a stick at her.
This is not the concierge, it is clearly her ancestor.
If Wu Xi had to follow what she thought, she would have swept the damn gatekeeper out long ago.
"Why, I'm not happy to be chased and beaten up, right?" Zhao Chen glanced at Wu Xi and said lightly.
"Then can you be happy when you are chased and beaten up?" Wu Xiong pursed his mouth.
Zhao Chen didn't want to pay attention to Wu Yu. This guy was messing around in his house every day.
It deserves to be beaten by Lao Huang.
Zhao Chen is related to Lao Huang's identity.
Where did he come from?
...
Hou Junji was very annoyed.
Wei Zheng had already read the seventeenth hero of Lingyan Pavilion, but he still hadn't read the name of Hou Junji.
Li Tai clearly told him that he was ranked eleventh.
But now, the eleventh one has been taken away by Cheng Yaojin.
Hou Junji originally thought that even if he was not ranked eleven, he could tolerate it.
He could barely accept the twelfth, thirteenth, or even fifteenth.
But until now, the person ranked seventeenth has been confirmed, and Hou Junji has not been mentioned yet.
Many officials were looking at him Hou Junji.
Hou Junji even felt that these people were laughing at him.
Li Tai's face was not very good either.
Even a person like Cheng Yaojin can rank 11th among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Why can't Hou Junji be able to?
In terms of military achievements, Hou Junji can be said to be the first person besides Li Jing.
Li Tai didn't understand how the emperor ranked this ranking.
Is it just because Hou Junji was Li Chengqian's before?
But Changsun Wuji, who was demoted back to his hometown, can sit firmly in the first place. How could Hou Junji be...
"The 18th hero of Lingyan Pavilion, Duke Qin Qiong of Yiguo!" Wei Zheng thought slowly, with a look of surprise on his face.
Qin Qiong has not been valued by the emperor for many years.
Although Qin Qiong's health has been a part of the reason for the past few years, another reason is that during the Xuanwu Gate incident, Qin Qiong stopped moving.
This made the emperor feel resentful.
So later there were many opportunities, and the emperor naturally ignored Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong also knew that his actions at that time made the emperor dissatisfied, so he never complained.
Before Wei Zheng received this imperial edict, he always felt that it was a blessing for Qin Qiong to enter Lingyan Pavilion.
The eighteenth position unexpectedly.
After all, Hou Junji has not read the name until now.
Qin Qiong is much luckier than him.
Wei Zheng was also surprised. No matter how much he pronounced it until now, he still couldn't see Hou Junji's name.
Slowly unfolding the remaining imperial edict, looking at the remaining names, a hint of surprise flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes.
"Old Qin, have you heard it? No. 18!" Cheng Yaojin pulled Qin Qiong, his voice roaring in the Tai Chi Hall.
All the officials were surprised and envious.
Qin Qiong shook his body, his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word.
"The 19th hero of Lingyan Pavilion, Duke of Chen, gathered!" Wei Zheng recited the next name.
Everyone's eyes were all on Hou Junji's face.
Hou Junji had no expression on his face.
There was a deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The emperor had said before that only twenty-four heroes were selected on the third floor of Lingyan Pavilion.
He Hou Junji was actually ranked 19th.
Ranked behind Qin Qiong.
When the emperor launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it was Hou Junji who rushed to the front.
Qin Qiong held his troops unmoved. Who knows what he was going to do at the beginning?
Whoever has made merits and who has been guilty can see clearly at a glance.
Today, the emperor actually ranked him Hou Junji behind Qin Qiong.
Why?
Hou Junji looked at the emperor, but saw that the emperor was also looking at him.
