Chapter 227: The Way Home (Part I)
"When the sixth master left Beijing, he didn't bring the servants of the palace with him, so at the beginning, the palace was always taken care of. But later, there was no news from the sixth master, and after a long time, those slaves were slowly transferred to other royal palaces as errands, and finally only a sixty-year-old servant lived here to take care of him, and he never opened the door several times throughout the year. ”
A horse-drawn carriage driving on the avenue leading to the Ming Palace.
Of the young people who followed before, only two people were left to catch the car, and the others did not accompany them.
Chen Jufeng whispered about the situation in the Ming Palace: "Until a few days ago, many people suddenly appeared in the Ming Palace, and they cleaned the palace and reopened the palace. ”
Lu Xunyi's eyes flashed slightly, of course he knew that it was because of the news of the sixth master's reappearance.
After the opening of the mansion, the queen Zeng Feng, who had not been out of the palace for many years, came here and stayed for half a day. Immediately the princes and princesses came, and the royal relatives came to the door, and then the powerful people of the dynasty, and even the wealthy businessmen and magnates came to the door to give gifts, and to this day, the palace is still full of guests......"
Lu Xunyi nodded in understanding.
Although the country is now at war and chaos, in the end orthodoxy is still the Mohist world.
Today's Ming King, has long been different from the past, this strong appearance, in this Pingjing City, is definitely a hot upstart, the magnates come to the door, it is normal.
And the relatives of the emperor, the arrival of the dragon son and the dragon grandson is not surprising, after all, the sixth master has not been traced for many years, and now that he has appeared, those brothers and sisters have come to express their concern, and it is still indispensable.
"Mr. Er, now the Ming Wang's Mansion is the focus of attention in the capital, surrounded by the eyeliner of major forces, and the manpower in the mansion is also arranged in the palace, there is no henchman, can you think about it, do we really want to go back now?" After introducing the situation, Chen Jufeng's eyes were deep and solemn, and he asked again.
Lu Xunyi's eyes shone slightly, and he said softly: "This trip back to Beijing, we are not here to be thieves, since we are back, we naturally want to go back to the Ming Palace." ”
"But......" Chen Jufeng's eyebrows were furrowed, obviously his mind was not at ease: "Why don't you wait until those heads are safely sent to the court and then come back?" At this time, returning home to expose your whereabouts in advance may add more variables? ”
"It doesn't matter, if the palace is still deserted, it may be dangerous, and someone may have the audacity to rush into the palace to commit murder for the sake of these heads. However, now that the Ming Palace, which has been reopened and has become the focus of the capital, it is safer, who dares to risk the world's condemnation in front of everyone's eyes and attack us? Lu Xunyi's voice was calm, but his eyes were not calm, and there was still worry flickering: "The most dangerous thing is this last section of the road, as long as you can reach the gate of King Ming's mansion safely......"
"That's fine, even if someone has noticed us and has me by your side, it shouldn't be a big problem, they will only think that I am accompanying you to visit the powerful." Chen Jufeng was not so worried about the danger of the last section of the road, his brows were still furrowed, obviously he still had something to worry about.
"But you're worried about the business of Changhua Pharmacy?" Lu Xunyi glanced at him and asked softly.
Chen Jufeng did not hide it, nodded heavily, and his voice was extremely worried: "Mr. Er, in this way, Changhua Pharmacy will be exposed, we have invested a lot of money in this shop, and the business is all over the country, the national dynasty, the Lin family, the Daomen, and the warlords of all parties are all involved in our business, once they find out that this is the business of the sixth master, we will immediately suffer a heavy blow." ”
When he said this, Lu Xunyi's eyes had been staring at his face vaguely, and his eyes were flashing to explore, exploring all the activities in Chen Jufeng's heart.
"I entered Beijing this time, both in terms of time and safety, I can't take a long-term view, slowly investigate the situation, I must understand the current situation as quickly as possible, I have no other way than to meet you. Once I meet you, I will inevitably expose you ......" Lu Xunyi nodded, and sighed softly: "Alas, Changhua Pharmacy, give it up, money is important, but it can't compare to the big thing that the sixth master explained." ”
Chen Jufeng's eyelids jumped wildly twice, obviously extremely reluctant to the stall of Changhua Pharmacy.
This is also normal, after all, this is not a small fortune, after three years of hard work, to the current situation, let alone him, even Emperor Dingwu may not be able to give up so easily.
But in the end, this Boss Chen still sighed and only asked, "This arrangement, but the sixth master gave it?" ”
"Exactly, it has been well thought out before departure, and now the situation in Mingzhu is difficult, especially after the sixth master killed Cui Chaoyuan, the barbarian almost carpet search for our traces, our preparations are not complete, and we can't carry it hard with the barbarian, so we can only remain silent for the time being, connect to receive news from the outside world, we can only be cautious, when I set off, even the news of the reopening of the Ming Wangfu was not received, the original plan was that after I came, the Ming Wangfu will be reopened by us, although the sixth master still needs to endure a little, but the Ming Wangfu can no longer be hidden, From now on, we will have a place in this general trend of the world. The sixth master will not come forward to communicate with all parties in person, but communication is indispensable, and now we have not yet completely gained a foothold in Mingzhu, and the Ming Wangfu in the capital is the most suitable choice for the sixth master. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xunyi paused slightly, and then said: "The reopening of the Ming Palace, it is necessary to have a suitable person to take over, the sixth master looks at the whole mansion, not only understands the general trend of the world, but also has already set foot in it, and has enough ability to maneuver around all parties, no one can be more suitable than Mr. Chen." ”
"Huh?" Chen Jufeng was stunned, and pointed at himself a little dazedly: "I, Mr. Er, what do you mean?" ”
"That's right, although the business of Changhua Pharmacy is not small, but the business you want to do in the future is indeed the business of ups and downs, the sixth master asked me to discuss with Mr. Chen, you are willing to serve as the housekeeper of the Ming Wangfu in the future?" Lu Xunyi's eyes became solemn.
Chen Jufeng's pupils suddenly shrank, his whole body trembled, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
In the end, he still knelt down in the carriage and responded with his fists clenched: "Your Highness, you dare not die?" ”
Lu Xunyi stared at Chen Jufeng without blinking, and it was not until Chen Jufeng responded that his eyes relaxed, and his tone was a little more sincere: "Mr. Chen, Your Highness has a word first, this matter is very important, and it is more likely to involve death, Your Highness is far away in the pearl, I am afraid it will be difficult to think about it for a while......"
Speaking of this, Lu Xunyi saw that Chen Jufeng's eyes were not scattered in the slightest, and he was determined, so he continued: "Mr. Chen, you also know that now that His Highness has made a strong comeback, I don't know how many forces want to explore His Highness's roots, but His Highness's deeds are not easy to investigate, and few people dare to make a move against His Highness himself, but there may not be no bold people who make a move against Mr. Chen......"
"Mr. Er, don't say anything more, please tell Your Highness on my behalf, the five generations of the old minister's family have all served the country in the court, and the old minister has also read and reasoned since he was a child, hoping to help the world for the official. only sighed that the creation made people, and the old minister finally abandoned the book of sages and went to the sea to engage in business...... Back then, the old minister almost broke his family, and the lives of the father and son were saved by His Royal Highness, and it is also His Highness who can have such a creation today. His Royal Highness's daughter went to the dangerous place, just to make a life for the common people, such a grand ambition, the old minister can still have the opportunity to serve the country in this life, and die for His Royal Highness, it is the glory of the old minister, how can there be no reason to be unwilling, the old minister must do his best, and then die! Lu Xunyi raised his eyebrows, his whole body was full of momentum, and he arched his hand, without questioning that his voice did not hesitate at all.
Lu Xunyi's eyes flashed wildly several times, and finally calmed down, and finally smiled: "Mr. Chen, Gaoyi, please accept my worship." ”
Even on the carriage, Lu Xunyi still knelt on one knee, and he was defeated.
"Mr. Two, hurry up and get up, how can you be a great gift when you are old......"
The carriage was quiet, but the two young men sitting on the wheel at the moment met their eyes.
They are all very cultivated, they can hear the conversation in the carriage clearly, and they look at each other at the moment, but there are doubts and puzzles in their eyes.
In the end, it turned into a touch of vigilance, and his eyes scanned in all directions.
……………………
……
"Come, let's toast Wu Tou!"
"Yes, let's follow Wu Tou, we will have a chance to eat fragrant and spicy food, brothers, raise your glass......"
"Haha, what's the matter, is this trying to get drunk in wheel warfare? Come, come, full, Lao Tzu is not afraid, haha......"
In Jianghualou, Wu Shoucheng and a group of colleagues drank happily, and it can be said that those who came did not refuse.
He is clearly the center of the table, the object of flattery.
However, it is obvious that he enjoys it very much, and in this Jianghua Building, where only the children of rich families can enter, he and a group of soldiers make a loud noise, which attracts many dissatisfied guests.
"Hey, who did I say? It turned out to be a few soldiers and ruffians, when did this Jianghualou even allow these reckless men to come in? Finally, some people were still dissatisfied, a group of young men who had just walked in, a white-faced young man, in this cold winter wax moon, holding a folding fan, looked at Wu Shoucheng and a few people with disgust.
"Bang!" Wu Shoucheng slapped the table in an instant, stood up, turned around, and shouted angrily at the white-faced young man, "Are you talking about Lao Tzu?" ”
"Huh?" The white-faced young man was taken aback by his fierceness, but he immediately couldn't hold back his face: "Bold, dare to say nothing to this son......"
"Bang...... Get out of your grandmother's legs......" Wu Shoucheng picked up the empty wine jar and smashed it towards the white-faced boy.
When even the white-faced boy was bleeding from his forehead, he fell to the ground and shouted: "It's the other way, it's the other way, it's ......."
The other people around him also panicked immediately, and immediately drank one by one.
"Where did the ruffians come from, and they dared to be so rampant?"
"You have caused a big disaster, this is the third son of Lord Wu's family in the Ministry of Rites......"
"Come on, don't come yet, take down this group of soldiers!"
……
"Hey, dare to scare Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is Fang Youqun, Master Fang's subordinates are on errands, who dares to scold Lao Tzu for being a ruffian? See if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you two mothers to death......" Wu Shoucheng seemed to have drunk too much, was furious, and picked up his waist knife and was about to start a battle.
