Chapter 164: The Covenant of Rest
Yun Jinxi's cleaning of the General's Mansion is in full swing, and things are progressing very smoothly on Lu Yi's side.
It's another day off.
"Lord Liang." Lu Yi stood beside King Chen and arched his hand at him.
"King Chen." Because it was a private gathering, a few people were not so restrained, and casually arched their hands to turn into a greeting.
Looking at Lord Liang standing in front of him, King Chen couldn't stop being excited.
Sure enough, as Lu Yi said, Lord Liang was born so elegant. He used the plum blossoms in the house as bait, and sure enough, he made an appointment with this extremely difficult old slippery head.
"At this moment, we are not monarchs and ministers, just a few like-minded people, so we don't need to be formal." King Chen flicked his sleeves and said heroically.
Both of them bowed their heads and said yes, and then the three of them followed the path in the house all the way to the front and closed it.
There are indeed a few rare plum varieties in the palace of King Chen, but King Chen is obviously not drunk, and he is always a little absent-minded when appreciating the flowers.
Lord Liang frowned and stopped.
Lu Yi is basically just by his side, easily refusing to speak, and only treating himself as an ordinary guest.
King Chen was thinking about it, and he didn't notice it for a while, but when he reacted, he had already taken several steps forward, and Lord Liang was still standing where he was just now.
Lord Liang arched his hand at King Chen, his eyebrows furrowed, his appearance was also like a decent gentleman, and his sword eyebrows were twisted, which made the person standing opposite him feel a little afraid that he was a sinner.
"Your Highness, the old minister is afraid that it is not the right time to come today, His Royal Highness seems to have other things to deal with, so the old minister will retire first, the plum blossoms in the palace of King Chen are indeed elegant, the old minister will go back for the time being."
His temper has always been stubborn, and after saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
King Chen hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Lord Liang, who was full of worries, and bowed his hand to apologize.
"Since it has been discovered by Lord Liang, the king will no longer hide it, the truth is not hidden, today I invited Lord Liang to enter the house, in addition to enjoying the flowers, there is also a thing, but the king does not know how to speak, so he has not said it."
After a pause, King Chen glanced at Lu Yi, who was standing beside Lord Liang, gave him a look, and then said, "A few days ago, General Lu searched for some antiques, calligraphy and paintings for me, but I didn't know anything about this, so I invited Lord Liang in the name of enjoying flowers. ”
Lu Yi stepped forward at the right time, with a kind smile on his face, and also bent down slightly at Lord Liang, "This time it is really the two of us who are not thoughtful, but our intention to invite Lord Liang to come is indeed to enjoy the flowers, these superb plum blossoms are all cultivated by His Royal Highness King Chen, if there is no person who understands them to come to watch, wouldn't it be a chill for the hearts of people who have worked hard to cultivate?" ”
Lord Liang's face was slightly moved, he himself had studied these antique calligraphy and paintings, not to mention that there was such a knot.
But then again, if they had invited Lord Liang over under the pretext of antique calligraphy and painting at the beginning, they were afraid that what they would get would be a blank eye.
"This time, I received the authentic handiwork of the former dynasty Lu Xing, I don't know if Lord Liang has any intention of tasting it with me." King Chen struck while the iron was hot, and first lowered his body and said to Lord Liang.
He is so sincere, it doesn't seem to be good if he shirks it any longer, Lord Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
King Chen let go of the palm he had been clenching, covered with sweat.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next one will be.
The only thing that is certain is that if they anger Lord Liang this time and let him go, then there will be no next time for their invitation.
Seeing Lord Liang nodding, King Chen's face was relieved, and he personally led the way in front, and Lu Yi walked half a shoulder behind Lord Liang at the end.
"This fact is my fault, I am a martial artist, and I don't know the twists and turns of calligraphy and painting, and I will recycle it when I see it, His Royal Highness has a little bit of knowledge about these, but I don't know much about it, so I abruptly surprised Lord Liang today."
Lu Yi explained sincerely in the back, King Chen and Lu Yi's status is not low, and now that both of them have put down their bodies to show favor to him, the ugliness in Lord Liang's heart has long disappeared by half, and now he is still holding a shelf, but it is just his temperament.
When he arrived at the study, King Chen stopped and made a gesture of invitation.
Lord Liang returned the salute and stepped in.
As soon as Fang entered, he knew that the owner of this study had good taste, a faint sandalwood lingered in his nose, and when he entered the door, there was an elegant landscape screen, and behind it should be the beauty couch used by the master of the study to take a nap.
Bypassing the screen, there are more than a dozen large bookcases, which are full of all kinds of books, basically each of which has traces of flipping, Lord Liang nodded with satisfaction, but there was a little surprise in appreciation, only to see the room full of books, but not to see the calligraphy and painting, could it be that the two of them joined forces to deceive him?
"Lord Liang, General Lu, come with me." King Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and led the two of them to the wall without hurrying.
The knobby hand twisted the inconspicuous incense burner in the corner of the wall, and with a dark sound, the originally tightly knit wall suddenly split in two, and a dark passage appeared that could only accommodate one person to pass through.
Lord Liang's eyes suddenly widened, pointed to this secret path, and stammered, "This, this, what does Your Highness mean by this." ”
Seeing that Lord Liang misunderstood what he meant, King Chen hurriedly explained, "Some of the calligraphy and paintings in my collection can't see the light, so I built this dark room to preserve those calligraphy and paintings, and I hope Lord Liang won't misunderstand." ”
After listening to the explanation, Lord Liang was a little relieved, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and reached out to touch it in the dim dark passage.
"I'll lead the way in front, and Lord Liang will come with me." King Chen did not break through Lord Liang's mind and walked in first.
The dark passage is not long, although it is dim, but in a few breaths, he came to the end, and walked into the innermost room, and Lord Liang's eyes lit up.
This is a stone room that can be said to be simple, although the room is simple, but the things inside are really valuable, not a big room, but there are four night pearls in it!
The light of the entire darkroom is provided by these night pearls.
If it was said that there was such a place in King Xi's mansion, he would not doubt it, after all, King Xi had a lot of ways to make money in his hands, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the richest prince.
But this King Chen is a two-sleeved breeze, and he has never seen him go to the camp to make a living, so how did this room full of treasures come about, Lord Liang's pupils shrank, and his face became serious.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but King Chen explained first.
Lord Liang is an upright person, and he has never seen those dirty things, which is why he looks down on King Xi the most, but there is also an advantage, that is, he does not talk casually.
