Volume 1: First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 78: Don’t Know
While Wei Zheng was sitting in the main room, thinking about how to contact Lu Chen, someone walked quickly into the main room from outside.
"What's the matter?" Wei Zheng looked at the person who came. The person who came was the captain of the guard that Wei Zheng brought with him this time. This person was also a famous person in the history books of the Tang Dynasty in later generations. He was Xue Wanjun, and his younger brother almost died at Xuanwu Gate. He single-handedly killed Xue Wanche, Li Shimin's direct descendant, and later became Li Shimin's brother-in-law and married Princess Danyang.
Xue Wanjun handed over to Wei Zheng. At this time, Xue Wanjun was still living in Youzhou and working under Li Yi's account in Youzhou. However, since Li Jiancheng came to Youzhou, he got the two brothers from Li Yi and became his own. The next time Wei Zheng came to Niangziguan on the order of Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng sent Xue Wanjun out and temporarily served as the captain of Wei Zheng's guard.
Xue Wanjun raised his hand to Wei Zheng and said, "Sir, Lu Chen has gone out with his servants!" , naturally I tried my best to have a good relationship with these prince's close ministers.
"Oh?" After hearing Xue Wanjun's report, Wei Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows. Wei Zheng had always wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Lu Chen. Now that Lu Chen was out alone, Wei Zheng couldn't pass up this opportunity. Pass.
Wei Zheng immediately stood up and walked out of the courtyard gate. Xue Wanjun on the side saw this and hurriedly followed him.
Everyone else was left in the small courtyard by Wei Zheng. Only Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun walked out of the small courtyard directly. When they left the entrance of Xiaguancheng Village, they saw Lu Chen taking Liu Jing for a walk not far ahead. As they walked towards the military camp, Wei Zhenggang and Xue Wanjun hurriedly chased after him.
"Gou Boy, how about I find you a teacher later to teach you how to read?" Lu Chen said to Liu Jing who was following him as he walked.
"Ah? Sir, can I also become a scholar?" Although Liu Jing was appreciated by Lu Chen and became his personal servant, that is, a long-term follower, Liu Jing had never thought about reading and writing, and Liu Jing had never thought about reading and writing. I have always been unsure in my heart. Now that Lu Chen's family is small, Liu Jing can always stay with Lu Chen.
His father, Liu Laosan, often whispered in Liu Jing's ears that he was a great person. He would probably go to Chang'an in the future, enter the court, be crowned king and prime minister, not to mention the relationship with Her Royal Highness. In the future, I will not stay in Niangziguan for a long time. When I go to Chang'an, your mansion will be very big and there will be many people. There will definitely be literate butlers and other things to serve you, so we Servants who are illiterate should do their duty as servants, just serve the adults well, do whatever the adults ask them to do, and ask less questions and do more so they won't be disliked by the adults.
Now Lu Chen actually mentioned that Liu Jing should learn to read and digit, how could Liu Jing not be surprised.
"That's right! You can't be like your father and just be a craftsman all your life, right?" Lu Chen patted Liu Jing on the head with a folding fan, and Liu Jing giggled twice, "Although you can protect your family by being by my side. We have no worries about food and clothing, but what if one day I am gone?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing. In later generations, children of this age were still in school, but now this child is so grateful because he can eat enough with him. No, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"How could you not be here, sir? When you are gone, I will be gone too!" Liu Jing scratched the back of his head and said with a simple smile.
"Yes, I'm gone, and you may be gone too, but in the future you won't marry a wife or have children?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing who was smiling innocently and said, "I will also marry a wife and have children, and I can also make your family happy."
Have you always been a house slave?"
"There's nothing wrong with it! It's a blessing for me that my family can always serve your master's family! My children will definitely continue to serve your master's young master in the future!" Liu Jing still smiled innocently, with brilliance in his eyes.
Twinkling, he seemed to be looking forward to what Lu Chen said.
"You're worthless!" Lu Chen was a little angry and hit Liu Jing on the head with a folding fan, "When you get back, find a teacher to teach you how to read and write!"
"Sir, stop fighting!" Liu Jing covered his head and looked at Lu Chen with a grimace, "If you are beaten silly, you won't be able to learn calligraphy!"
"Ouch! I'm still aggrieved!" Lu Chen smiled and patted Liu Jing again.
As the master and servant walked towards the military camp, chatting and laughing, they heard footsteps behind them. Lu Chen ignored it and continued to lead Liu Jing forward. After all, this road was the only one from Xiaguancheng Village to the military camp.
It was a large road, so there were often soldiers walking on the road, so footsteps came from behind, but Lu Chen didn't take it seriously.
But Lu Chen immediately stopped, because there were two people standing in front of Lu Chen. One of them Lu Chen had seen before, it was Wei Zheng. The man standing next to Wei Zheng was a general in armor, but Lu Chen didn't recognize him.
.
Lu Chen looked Xue Wanjun up and down. Xue Wanjun's flat-top height was estimated to be about two fingers taller than Lu Chen's. He had a bronze complexion, a short beard under his chin, a pair of eyes that were as bright as a falcon, a tall figure, and a ball of evil energy all over his body.
He looks like a battle-hardened warrior.
"Master Wei, why are you stopping me?" Lu Chen looked at Wei Zheng, clasped his fists and raised his folding fan upside down and asked, "I haven't asked for advice yet, who is this?" Lu Chen said and looked at Xue Wanjun.
"General Xue Wanjun, please pay homage to your lord!" Seeing Lu Chen looking at him, Xue Wanjun respectfully rushed to Lu Chen and saluted Lu Chen with his arms in front of his chest.
"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Xue Wanjun's name.
Seeing the expression on Lu Chen's face, Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun were both stunned. Lu Chen's expression clearly meant that he knew Xue Wanjun's name, but now brother Xue Wanjun had just come down from Li Yi's tent to serve in the East Palace. As for the two brothers
The name was only famous in those places in Youzhou, and Wei Zheng only knew about the brothers after following Li Jiancheng to Youzhou, and Lu Chen's expression at this time clearly showed that he knew Xue Wanjun.
"Could it be that the military advisor knows General Xue?" Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Wei Zheng asked directly.
"I don't know him!" Lu Chen answered simply, "Today is the first time I see General Xue!"
After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Wei Zheng turned to look at Xue Wanjun with questioning eyes. Xue Wanjun shook his head directly: "This is the first time for the general to see an army division!"
Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun were confused by Lu Chen's words. Since you don't know them, why did you look like you just now, as if you knew them?
But what Lu Chen said next made Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun's hearts beat faster.
"General Xue, do you have a younger brother named Xue Wanche?" Lu Chen looked at Xue Wanjun very seriously and asked. As soon as Lu Chen said these words, Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun's hearts skipped a beat.
"Uh...Xue Wanche is indeed my brother-in-law!" After thinking for a while, Xue Wanjun nodded.
"Two princes from one family, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lu Chen bowed his hands and saluted Xue Wanjun, saying with a smile.
When Lu Chen said these words, it was like a thunderbolt exploding directly over the heads of Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun. The two Xue Wanjun brothers are still just cavalry generals under Li Yi, and they are still far away from the county prince. Lu Chen Do you dare to say that these two brothers will definitely be granted the title of Duke in the future? Could it be that this person really has the ability to predict the future?
"Sir, don't be ridiculous, we two brothers are just pawns in the prince's tent at the moment!" Although Xue Wanjun was surprised at first when Lu Chen said this, and even more happy, Xue Wanjun still said very modestly, but his expression was obviously for Lu Chen's words were very helpful.
What is the purpose of "learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family"? Is it not to be able to have a wife and a son, and to shine the lintel of the family? Lu Chen's sentence "a family with two princes" will make the listener feel that no matter whether it is true or not, it will make the listener feel Very useful.
"Master Wei, in the future you will achieve the position of Duke. I am lucky to be stopped by a Duke and a County Duke today!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
As soon as he finished saying that Xue Wanjun could be the Duke of the county, he turned around and said that Wei Zheng could be the Duke of the country. He said it so eloquently that it shocked Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun.
"I thank you for your kind words. I don't seek the position of Duke, but peace in the world!" Wei Zheng responded to Lu Chen in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. He didn't have Xue Wanjun's helpful expression just now, but Wei Zheng still rushed to Lu Chen. thank.
Seeing Wei Zheng's still calm expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but praise Wei Zheng secretly in his heart: "No wonder he can become a critic who has been passed down through the ages. This kind of mind has to be admired!" Although Lu Chen likes to slander Wei Zheng as " "The most powerful person in history", but it has to be said that in this era, the strategies Wei Zheng was able to propose were indeed for the country and the people.
"I wonder why you two stopped me here?" Lu Chen looked at Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun and asked.
"I'm here to surrender the troops to Weizhou City!" Wei Zheng was not polite and bluntly stated his purpose of stopping Lu Chen.
"Master Wei should go to His Highness if he wants to surrender the army. His Majesty has ordered His Majesty to decide this matter. Master Wei is asking me to ask for someone. I'm afraid he went to the wrong temple!" Lu Chen made a "swish" sound and opened the folding fan. He shook it twice and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what you said is true. It is really up to Your Highness the Princess to decide how many surrendered troops I can bring back this time. I just want to ask the Military Advisor to mediate and help His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wei Zheng directly carried the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng. came out.
"Master Wei, are you using the crown prince to suppress me?" As soon as he heard that Wei Zheng had carried Li Jiancheng out, Lu Chen closed the folding fan with a "swish", his face suddenly darkened, and the breath all over his body suddenly became cold. The sudden change in Lu Chen's aura immediately startled Xue Wanjun on the side, because Xue Wanjun knew this aura very well. This was a murderous aura that only a person who climbed out of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood could have!
