Volume 1: Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 80: Priority
"Didn't Cheng Yaojin make His Highness angry?" Lu Chen put away the pistol and turned to look at Li Xiuning, "I'm going to kill him to vent His anger on His Highness!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning with an innocent expression.
"Don't do this!" Li Xiuning scolded Lu Chen directly with a smile, "Someone just reported to me that you had a private meeting with Wei Zheng outside the camp gate?" Li Xiuning held her chin and looked at Lu Chen.
"Who is such a talkative woman!?" Lu Chen cursed disdainfully, but secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, someone saw it!" However, Lu Chen didn't agree to anything to Wei Zheng. Besides, even if he agreed, he didn't agree. What can he do? He even knows the most secret plans of the Li family. I guess Li Xiuning just wants to know what Wei Zheng said.
"Then Wei Zheng, do you want to ask you to say something nice in front of me?" Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes were bent like crescent moons, and she looked at Lu Chen with a smile and asked.
"Oh! Your Highness has learned how to predict the future! Awesome! Awesome!" Lu Chen gave Li Xiuning a thumbs up, looking like a dog-legger.
"Come on! Everyone knows that you are a close minister of this palace. Cheng Yaojin came to look for you at noon. It would be strange if Wei Zheng didn't look for you!" Li Xiuning curled his lips in disdain. This is something that everyone can think of. How could Li Xiuning do it? Unexpectedly, "Then what benefits did Wei Zheng promise you?" The reason why Li Xiuning came to Lu Chen was because he was curious about the benefits Wei Zheng promised Lu Chen. After getting along with each other for this period of time, Li Xiuning had a little understanding of Lu Chen's character. , Wei Zheng wanted to persuade Lu Chen to help Li Jiancheng, but Wei Zheng was just thinking wrong.
If you ask Lu Chen to help you make suggestions, that's no problem, but if you want to order this guy to do something, then forget it. Unless he is willing, no one can do it. It is Li Xiuning who understands Lu Chen's character. This made Lu Chen become the "big idler" in the Detachment of Women.
"Oops!" Lu Chen was not polite and sat down on the chair, "The things Wei Zheng promised me are really big!"
"Oh?" Hearing what Lu Chen said, Li Xiuning became more interested and raised her eyebrows, "Tell me, are you promised to be a general or a duke?"
"Then he didn't say anything. He just promised us the 'Song of the Dragon'. It's awesome!" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows at Li Xiuning and chuckled, "Isn't this a big achievement?"
"It's not small!" Li Xiuning couldn't help but smile sweetly when Lu Chen said "The Power of the Dragon" and nodded at the same time, "Are you tempted?" Li Xiuning asked Lu Chen with a smile.
"Not interested!" Lu Chen said disdainfully while playing with the folding fan in his hand, and his answer was straightforward.
"Your Highness asked me to come down. Are you just curious about what Wei Zheng said to me?" Lu Chen played with the folding fan and looked at Li Xiuning.
"I really have something to ask you about, that is, the matter of surrendering troops. How should we distribute it?" Li Xiuning explained the purpose of coming to Lu Chen.
"Half for each person! Anyway, His Highness was ordered to allocate it, so with half for each person, His Highness has maintained neutrality and satisfied the requirements of the Crown Prince and King Qin!" Lu Chen chuckled.
"I have thought about this too, but I always feel that it is inappropriate. King Qin's military strength is stronger than that of the prince. The sudden increase of so many soldiers seems to be detrimental to the prince's side!" Li Xiuning frowned slightly. Speak out your concerns.
"Isn't this simple? There are more than 30,000 people in total, 20,000 for the prince, and 10,000 for the King of Qin. Let Cheng Yaojin choose the person first!" Lu Chen chuckled, "I guarantee that their relationship will be even more tense!" Lu Chen
How could he not hear the hidden meaning in Li Xiuning's words? He just didn't want this incident to make these two people too calm.
Recently, because the Liu Heita brothers have been executed and the Turks have withdrawn, the prince and the King of Qin have been somewhat calm recently. However, this has also resulted in the aristocratic family not moving closer to Li Jiancheng. This is not possible, since there is nothing to do.
, then Li Xiuning has to give them something to do.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, sir!" Li Xiuning immediately understood what Lu Chen was going to do.
"Since there is nothing else to do here, I will go back and get ready!" Lu Chen stood up and said goodbye to Li Xiuning.
"Sir, please help yourself!" Li Xiuning smiled at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the tent. He had been waiting outside the tent for Liu Jing to lead Bai Hu and hurriedly greeted him.
Lu Chen caressed the white fox's neck lovingly, and then walked forward. Liu Jing held the white fox's hand to accompany him. Lu Chen opened the folding fan with a "swish" sound, and recited as he walked: "I am happy and free."
Immortal, the green mountains do not change their old appearance, the clouds and wild cranes are all at ease, and the world is smiling after seeing through the world of mortals."
Along with Lu Chen's chanting, Lu Chen's figure gradually moved away.
Listening to Lu Chen's chanting and watching Lu Chen's back fading away, Li Xiuning and Lu Qiuming stood at the door of the camp and stared at the direction in which Lu Chen was leaving for a long time.
Returning to Xiaguancheng Village, Lu Chen went directly to the small courtyard where Cheng Yaojin was. When the two guards saw Lu Chen coming, they hurriedly opened the courtyard door and one of the soldiers went in to report. Lu Chen
Then he stood in the courtyard and looked at the main room.
"I don't know, sir, when you come here, you are not welcome from far away! You are not welcome from far away!" With little effort, Cheng Yaojin walked out of the main room. At this time, Cheng Yaojin was not wearing armor, just a black outfit, and he came with a meteoric stride.
When he came in front of Lu Chen, he saluted Lu Chen with a smile on his face.
"I also came back from the military camp. I passed by Su Guogong's dormitory and took the liberty to come to the door and disturb Su Guogong!" Lu Chen held up his folding fan and clasped his fists at Cheng Yaojin in return.
"Sir, if you can come, it's a big honor for our old Cheng Tian. This is not a place to talk. Please come in, sir!" Cheng Yaojin said and directly took Lu Chen's hand, and the two of them held hands and entered.
Enter the main room.
"Serve tea!" Cheng Yaojin ordered Cheng Fei beside him, and Cheng Fei took the order and went to prepare soup and tea.
"Sir, did you come here this time to bring some good news to our old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin didn't believe that Lu Chen would come to visit him for nothing. He must have something to tell him. Cheng Yaojin waved his guard to leave.
, asked Lu Chen in a low voice.
"Well, I don't know whether this news is good news or bad news!" Lu Chen said directly without being polite.
"How do you say this?" Cheng Yaojin was slightly startled, looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Your Highness has already informed me about the distribution method of surrendered troops!" Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said.
"What? Could it be that the distribution of troops is unfavorable to His Highness the King of Qin?" Seeing Lu Chen's somewhat troubled expression, Cheng Yaojin asked with a speculative tone.
"It can't be said to be disadvantageous! Your Highness promised to give 10,000 troops to King Qin, and the rest will be handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Chen said with a look that was a bit difficult to say.
"How can this be done!" Upon hearing that Tiance Mansion had only allocated 10,000 surrender troops, Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and became unhappy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Su Guo!" Lu Chen directly comforted Cheng Yaojin, while he was laughing secretly in his heart. However, Lu Chen didn't think that Cheng Yaojin would really be angry because of this distribution method. He was probably doing it for himself.
Yes, if Cheng Yaojin was really like this, then Cheng Yaojin would not become a "veteran of three dynasties".
"Your Highness's distribution is really unfair. It is said that Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang has always been equal to a bowl of water. Isn't this time obviously biased towards Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Cheng Yaojin said unconvinced.
"Mr. Su Guo, be careful what you say!" Lu Chen directly pulled Cheng Yaojin, "I heard what Gong Su said. If someone else hears it, if it reaches His Highness's ears, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear this.
I can’t catch it!” Lu Chen nodded at Cheng Yaojin. Although Cheng Yaojin still looked unconvinced, he still nodded.
"Actually, I also fought for Duke Su and His Highness King Qin. Unfortunately, His Highness has already made a decision. I'm afraid it will be difficult to change this matter. But I did fight for a priority for Duke Su!" Lu Chen looked at it with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin.
"I, Mr. Cheng, am in a hurry. I wonder what your priority is?" Cheng Yaojin saluted Lu Chen and then asked.
"Although Tiance Mansion has only allocated 10,000 soldiers, they can be selected first! Think about it, do you want 10,000 elite soldiers? Or 30,000 miscellaneous fish?" Lu Chen gave Cheng Yaojin
A "do you understand" look.
"Of course there are ten thousand elite soldiers!" Cheng Yaojin answered simply, "No matter how many trash fish there are, they are still trash fish?" When Lu Chen mentioned this, Cheng Yaojin naturally understood what Lu Chen was referring to, "Thank you very much.
Warning, military advisor! If we go back with 10,000 elite soldiers, His Highness the King of Qin will probably be very satisfied!"
"Since Mr. Su Guo understands! Then I won't keep him! After all, it's not good for others to see him!" Lu Chen stood up with a smile and left with Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin stood up and saw each other off. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Cheng Yaojin took Lu Chen's hand again: "Sir, when you follow Her Royal Highness the Princess to return to Chang'an, you must tell me, Old Cheng. Then I, Old Cheng, will invite you to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Drink!" As he said that, Cheng Yaojin gave Lu Chen a look that "every man understands".
"Then it's settled!" Lu Chen immediately agreed to Cheng Yaojin's invitation, "Then I'll say goodbye!" Lu Chen took Liu Jing, who was holding the white fox, and started walking towards his small courtyard.
go.
Originally, Lu Chen wanted to go directly to Wei Zheng's place, but after thinking about it, Lu Chen decided to forget it. It was not appropriate to go to Wei Zheng's place at this time. He could not tell Wei Zheng just to say good things to the prince, but then tell Wei Zheng the result.
, it was easy for Wei Zheng to think about the way out, so Lu Chen took Liu Jing directly back to his small courtyard.
Returning to the small courtyard, he tied the white fox to the corner of the yard, and then ordered Liu Laosan to go to the camp to build a manger for the white fox. Liu Laosan followed the order and left.
Lu Chen went directly back to the room, closed the door and entered the base. Lu Chen was going to find some tea in the base to drink. Just drinking boiled water, Lu Chen felt it was a bit too light. He also felt a little uncomfortable after drinking plain water these days.
, so Lu Chen decided to find some tea in the base to drink!
