[Recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]

When Lecheng came, Li Heng had already guessed her intention.

The emperor is old, and the power of the heir is in full swing, even if he is not a hardcore princeling, he must think about the future of himself and his family. Now Li Heng is indeed able to compete with Li Longji, and Lecheng came to beg him, obviously he also had some thoughts.

However, Li Heng didn't plan to help this sister who didn't know her well, and it was not worth offending her father's majesty again.

"Born in heaven, how can you marry by yourself?"

"But ......," Lecheng looked resentful.

"Okay!" Li Heng was already upset, how could he have the time to pay attention to this little child's thoughts, waved his hand, and said, "Stand down!"

Lecheng looked desperate.

Guo Keying hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said softly: "Let's go!"

She didn't dare to say anything to Li Heng, it was okay to joke with Lecheng, a good friend, but this was the prince, or the prince of real power, not to mention her, even if his father came, he didn't dare to gasp.

Although I feel that my good friend is really pitiful, I want to marry a man I have never met, but haven't I been like this all these years?

It's Tang Xueying's friend, although she is from a humble background, she can find someone who knows and loves each other, and she is so good, it's really ...... It's unreasonable!

Xu Chen, who was standing at the back, saw this scene, but he didn't have any idea of being a hero to save the beauty, let alone being stupid enough to step forward to argue with Li Heng about the relationship between brothers and sister......s, how could he ignore it?

Seeing that several people turned around to leave, Xu Chen also turned around silently, preparing to leave.

However, Li Heng seemed to notice him.

"You're Xu Chen?" Li Heng suddenly stopped him.

Can't go.

The three girls were invited down by the prince's guards, and only Li Heng and Xu Chen were left on the hillside.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've met!" Li Heng looked at Xu Chen with interest.

Lu Hao met the prince in the woods and killed a team of forbidden troops in front of him, and Xu Chen later heard about it.

The impact of that incident was not small, but it was all pressed down by the person in front of him.

It is said that he encountered a big insect on a safari, and there was more than one, and the forbidden army was wiped out in order to protect the prince, and in the end, the family won the reward of the imperial court.

However, Xu Chen did not mean to be grateful, after all, he took the lead in attacking the Cui family later, which not only allowed the princelings to successfully get out of the previous turbulent situation, but also allowed them to take the opportunity to expand a lot of power, and Li Heng took advantage of it more.

As for Li Heng, after Xu Chen's group of teenagers came into his sight, the corresponding investigation never stopped.

So far, Xu Chen's power in the south, especially in the Ryukyus, Li Heng has almost figured out.

Although the Wuwei army is only more than 7,000 people, there is no doubt about its combat strength, especially the powerful naval division, for the imperial court, which suffered a big loss at the hands of the southern rebels not long ago, the force of the Wuwei army is still very valuable.

Li Heng is a very far-sighted person, and even if the current position of the crown prince is as solid as a rock, he will not be complacent.

The father of the emperor is not enough to control the military power, which leads to the fact that he is now subject to the Jiangmen family everywhere, even if he ascends the throne in the future, he does not have an army in his hand like an arm, and the emperor is not happy.

The power in the hands of the young man in front of him has a lot of value, both now and in the future.

What's more, taking the opportunity of investigating Xu Chen, Li Heng began to notice the maritime merchant group in the southeast, although he had not yet noticed the group of people distributed in the court or even around him, but he also really knew the profits that could be obtained from maritime trade.

After all, Li Heng is much younger than Li Longji, and his acceptance of new things is not as slow as his father's, and the treasures of the Western Regions that have suddenly increased in the Chang'an market and even in the palace over the years confirm his findings.

Traveling to the Western Regions by sea is far more profitable than traveling by road!

Although the specific details have not yet been figured out, Li Heng has no doubt about the financial resources of Xu Chen's group of teenagers.

If you can collect it for your own use, who will not be afraid of having more money, right?

Xu Chen almost understood what Li Heng meant, if he put it before, Xu Chen didn't want to be too entangled with the big forces in the court.

At present, there is already a guarantee from the teacher Xu Fan, and I dare not say that at least it is safe to ensure that the pattern of Ryukyu is not affected by the court.

In a few years, the war is coming, and the chaotic situation will be better to take the opportunity to strengthen the strength, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, the teacher will not be able to be the prime minister, and the impact on Xu Chen will not be great.

After all, at that time, the threat may have been solved, and if he can't guarantee his own security under such accumulation, then even if he unifies the world, it is useless to use the potential of the whole world.

Therefore, Xu Chen before was not much interested in the officialdom on the Chang'an side.

But now, since they have decided to face it alone, then Lu Hao's brothers still have to live the life of ordinary people, and they already have the power they have now, how can they be single outside the court?

Choosing a side to take refuge in will also help to ensure the future safety of the brothers.

And Li Heng, who is the crown prince, was originally the final winner, but now it seems that this person is really capable and skillful, if you have to worship the dock, the princeling is a good choice.

It's just that such words as recognizing the boss are not arrogant and blurted out.

Xu Chen saw that he was dressed plainly, so he picked a topic and took the initiative to break the silence: "I don't know who the prince is paying tribute to?"

Li Heng was silent for a moment and replied, "Loyal heir...... Gone!"

Xu Chen suddenly turned out to be Wang Zhonghei.

"Shibao City has been taken, loyal to him, he is seriously injured, and he has already left......" Li Heng looked sad.

Wang Zhongsi is his good friend who has played since he was a child, he is a prince, and others have always treated him with awe and alienation, only Wang Zhongsi, a friend who grew up together, let Li Heng taste friendship.

Although the concept is different, after hearing the news of his death, Li Heng is also saddened.

"Your Highness's condolences!" Xu Chen comforted: "The handsome man can also be regarded as seeking benevolence, and the horse leather shroud is also a good destination." ”

At least, it's better than dying by the river and dying depressed, right?

Xu Chen gave himself a word of relief in his heart.

"Yes......" Li Heng was silent, but he couldn't help but complain for a long time: "But he shouldn't have died in this senseless war!"

Xu Chen was reluctant to accept this sentence, of course, not because the other party complained about it was because of the current saint, but because the person who proposed to let Wang Zhongji go to Shibao City was himself......

"In the future, if I have time, I can come to the house more often. Although he values Xu Chen very much, as the crown prince, Li Heng is not in a hurry to win over him so far.

"Okay!" Xu Chen bowed.

When Li Heng walked down the hill, he said to Lecheng, who was waiting below: "Although I can't let my father change his mind, I can also inform the Xue family and buy you more time." ”

This was a matter of convenience, Li Heng didn't want to get too involved in such a trivial matter that was not beneficial but troublesome, and most of the time he could say this sentence was to see Xu Chen's face.

It's just that he didn't think about what would happen in the future.

When a few people returned to the city, Guo Keying's gaze at Xu Chen was a little different.

"What did you say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and why did he change his mind?"

Although the matter of Lecheng has not been resolved, the prince will actually change his attitude, which is a very rare thing in itself.

Xu Chen felt a little helpless, Li Heng obviously did a trivial thing casually, probably because of his relationship with Tang Xuexue, but this little thing gave Lecheng in a desperate situation infinite hope.

Even if the hope was only imaginary for her.

Facing Lecheng's eager gaze, Xu Chen smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me!

"You're so smart, you must have a way, right?" Lecheng grabbed a life-saving straw like a drowning man, leaned forward, and almost pounced on Xu Chen.

It was Tang Xueying who also set her eyes on Xu Chen with expectation.

"Alas......" Xu Chen had no choice but to say some of his own opinions: "The saint originally pointed out the marriage in order to let the Xue family take a stand, but now there is no need for this. ”

"It's just that the holy decree has been issued, how can it be changed at will?" Xu Chen saw that Lecheng's face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't bear to say again: "But for a person like the Holy One, anything is valuable......

Lecheng smiled bitterly: "That's right! A daughter like me, who is not welcomed, what value is worth in the eyes of his father?"

"So, you can make yourself valuable!" Xu Chen analyzed: "In recent years, the saint has been happy with extravagance, and the palace has been spending more and more, and the money in the treasury is not easy to move, and the inner treasury is often stretched......

Because of Sun Desheng's relationship, Xu Chen knows Li Longji's family background better than Li Longji himself.

Every month, almost all of Sun Desheng's wealth to the palace comes from the profits of this warehouse in Chang'an, and the share is also according to the original set, not too much, but compared with the income of other industries of the royal family, it has exceeded much.

But how can there be such a thing as too much money? Li Longji is spending more and more money, and Sun Desheng can only gradually increase his share, after all, he also has to maintain his position by satisfying Li Longji's desires.

Fortunately, Xu Chen is not bad for money here, a lot of gold mines are waiting to be dug, and he has no intention of dominating the world, and he does not need to expand the army on a large scale.

"If you can master a very lucrative business, and you are willing to give the income to the Holy One, then the Holy One will obviously not send the chicken that can lay golden eggs to someone else's house......

The words were not reasonable, Lecheng's eyes instantly brightened, and the darkness that had been going on for many days finally appeared a dawn.

"But this business must be inseparable from Lecheng!" Guo Keying quickly grasped the key point again: "Otherwise, the Holy Lord can accept it with a will!"

"Why don't you ......" Tang Xueying hesitated for a moment, but quickly said firmly: "I'll give you the secret recipe of Qingbai porcelain, right?"

"Xiaojue, you ......" Lecheng's surprised face was full of emotion.
