Chapter 35 Plan ahead
Lu Qian wanted to invite Lin Chong to drink.
After listening to Lin Chong's report, Zhao Yu was really a little surprised.
As the old saying goes, if a tree has no bark, it will surely die, and if a person has no face, the world is invincible.
Lin Chong was almost killed by Lu Qian and almost didn't die in prison, and now he still has the face to invite Lin Chong to drink, and his cheekiness is so thick that Zhao Yu has to bow down.
Lin Chong used to be the head of the forbidden army, according to the military system of the Song Dynasty, the head of the army was divided into three levels, the highest level of the patrol envoy was from the ninth grade, and the ordinary head of the sect was not even from the ninth grade, that is to say, Lin Chong was a small military attache who was not in the stream before.
But now it's different, according to the establishment of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Chong was appointed by Zhao Yu as the commander of the palace guards, and from the seventh-rank level, it is equivalent to Lin Chong's promotion to three levels in a row.
And although Lu Qian is also the head of the guards, how can the level of the attendants of ordinary officials be compared with the prince? So he is just a waiter, the nine-rank military rank, and he has opened up the level with Lin Chong at once.
It is estimated that this kid hated and feared, so he wanted to make friends with Lin Chong again.
This is Lin Chong's own business, Zhao Yu doesn't plan to participate, even if Lin Chong is upright, he should be able to see who Lu Qian is.
Not long after leaving the palace, I saw a person who looked like a family member flashed on the side of the road, stopped in front of Zhao Yu and his party, bowed down and said: "Participate in His Royal Highness King Yi, my lord has something to say to His Royal Highness."
Jia Ding said and pointed to a small sedan chair parked on the side of the street, except for a few family members and sedan chair drivers, there were no guards next to the sedan chair, and it seemed to be a civil official.
Zhao Yu frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the small curtain on the sedan chair lifted, and the face of an old man with a white beard was revealed.
"Lord Zhou?"
It turned out to be Zhao Yu's former father-in-law, Shang Shu's servant Zhou Jinglong.
Zhao Yu hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to the sedan chair, hugged his fists and saluted: "I've seen the servant shoot the adult"
Lao Zhou didn't get out of the sedan chair, and chose to meet on the side of the road, obviously not wanting to attract the attention of others, and at the same time indicating that he didn't want to have too deep contact with Zhao Yu.
"Your Highness, don't blame, it's the old man who is rude, a few words, the old man will leave after he says it"
Zhao Yu didn't need to guess what Old Man Zhou wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the boss and Ling Ai just met by chance that day, the boss doesn't have to think too much, and don't be embarrassed by Ling Ai, we shouldn't meet again in the future."
Zhou Jinglong saw that Zhao Yu understood what he meant, so he nodded and motioned to the sedan chair driver to get up.
In the past, he didn't know much about His Royal Highness King Yi, and his family affairs were also arranged by others, because he believed some rumors, he personally went to the queen to dissolve the marriage contract, but after carefully understanding this His Royal Highness, it is impossible to say that there is no remorse in his heart.
Everyone is a person with an identity, so you can't go back on your word, right?
Zhao Yu looked at the back of Zhou Jinglong and his entourage, and couldn't help flashing the beautiful face of the girl in front of him, it could be seen that the Zhou family chick still cares a lot about this family business, and the little girl is also very attractive, but it's a pity...
He shook his head with a wry smile, and then got back on the horse, and didn't care too much about getting married before, but now he found that it was quite difficult for him, the legendary diamond king, to marry a girl he liked.
As soon as I returned to the mansion, a guard came to report that Shi Qian had returned.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't mean to blame Shi Qian, and Shi Qian was the best at sneaking and hiding, and he was the best candidate for espionage intelligence.
Walking quickly to the hall, he suddenly felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then saw that Shi Qian had knelt down in front of him.
"It's all because the villain made friends carelessly, so that His Highness was in danger, and I asked His Highness to punish him"
Let's not talk about how Shi Qian is a person, but he regards the word righteousness as more important than life, and he doesn't understand the hidden secret, it can be said that whether he appears or not, Zhao Yu is the target of Deng Yuanjue's hijacking.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Shi Qian up, and said, "Brother, what are you doing here?" Hurry up and kill your brother."
"How can the villain dare to call his highness a brother and brother, the villain was rude in the past, and I hope that your highness will not be surprised"
Before this incident, although Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong were by his side, Shi Qian always felt that Zhao Yu, a prince, could not make friends with people like him, but now he has no such idea at all.
"Where did my brother come from? When there are outsiders, I am the prince, and when there is no one, we are still brothers who are like brothers and sisters, and I don't know when Brother Lu will come back, and when he comes back, we will have a good drink."
Zhao Yu said, affectionately pulling Shi Qian to sit down, but Lin Chong followed him to the door of the hall and automatically retreated.
Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian were both from reckless backgrounds, and they didn't look down on the official family, so they didn't feel anything about how to call Zhao Yu.
Lin Chong didn't think so, especially after being promoted to the head of the palace by Zhao Yu, he had the intention of dying for Zhao Yu, in this case, how could he call Zhao Yu a brother?
"Don't hide it from my brother, my brother actually has something to ask my brother for"
There was no one else in the hall, and Zhao Yu finally said what had been brewing since he came back.
"Brother, do you know that Pang Wanchun is a Manichaean?"
Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Shi Qian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "This villain really doesn't know, how did His Highness know?" ”
"The person who took me away is Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue, who is one of the eight King Kongs under the Manichaean master Fang La, Pang Wanchun is also, do not hide from my brother, although there are many improprieties in the administration of the imperial court in Jiangnan, but with time, it can not be changed, and now Fang La and others are pretending to take the opportunity of preaching to secretly contact and rebel, which is really a disaster to the country and the people, so my brother wants to ask my brother to go to Jiangnan to investigate Fang La's situation on the spot."
"In addition, I am revealing one thing to my brother, Fang La should have people from the court by his side, and my brother can remind Fang La at the right time, I respect him as a hero, and I really can't bear to let him go to a dead end"
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yu's words are a bit contradictory, because it is difficult to indicate his position on this matter.
But Shi Qian didn't care about these at all, he always felt indebted to Zhao Yu, so he agreed to Zhao Yu's request without thinking about it.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the villain will clean up, and this will go south"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to leave after Brother Lu comes back"
Zhao Yu is not in a hurry, but the time is in a hurry, he steals for a living, the four seas are his home, and he has long known that the people in Jiangnan are persecuted by the government, so if Fang La rebels, it is natural for him to come, but since he has been in contact with Zhao Yu, his mind has unconsciously favored Zhao Yu's side.
Zhao Yu saw that he couldn't keep Shi Qian, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take some scattered silver taels and a silver ticket of 3,000 taels and hand them to Shi Qian.
Shi Qian, who is known as a thief, has no shortage of silver at all, but when he took the silver from Zhao Yu's hand, his eyes were still a little red, because since he was a child, he had never felt the feeling of being cared for.
At this moment, he, like Lin Chong, had the heart to die for Zhao Yu...
Zhao Yu didn't think about it so much, he couldn't let his family run errands for nothing, right?
Sending Shi Qian away, Zhao Yu walked towards the guard room, Duan Feihe was still recuperating there, he had already visited once, this time, he wanted to talk to Duan Feihe about the next arrangement.
Duan Feihe's loyalty is unquestionable, but he is not suitable to be a guard, so Zhao Yu found him a new place to go...
