Chapter 44: Be a Hermit
"Cheng Chuliang, if the so-called artifact in your mouth is a lie, do you know what the consequences are?"
Li Shimin's attitude towards Cheng Chuliang was very unfriendly, and Cheng Chuliang was very hurt.
After being hung for so long, Cheng Chuliang felt that his body was falling apart, he rubbed his arms and hummed, complaining in a language that the Tang Dynasty people couldn't understand.
At this moment, his mood is about 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past.
"Your Majesty, the artifact is still missing, and the minister needs time!"
Li Shimin had a feeling of being a dog, "Cheng Chuliang, are you lying to me?" Do you know that bullying is going to lose your head! ”
"Of course the minister knows, and the minister is timid, and he is most afraid of death, so the minister will not dare to deceive His Majesty no matter what, but what the minister said is true, as long as the minister is given time, the minister will definitely present the artifact, and the minister dares to make a military order, Your Majesty will definitely like that artifact very, very much."
Li Shimin wanted to say something, who gave you confidence, but he pondered it again in his heart, and felt that he, as an apprentice of the divine doctor, should have a private artifact, so he changed his words and said: "I see that you are swearing, I will believe you once, how long do I have to wait?" ”
Cheng Chuliang breathed a long sigh of relief, today's hurdle can be regarded as surviving.
"Three months!"
"So long?"
Cheng Chuliang said: "Your Majesty, after all, it is an artifact, and the artifact needs to be brewed before it can enter the palace, otherwise it will destroy the feng shui in the palace." ”
Cheng Chuliang said as if he was very powerful, although Li Shimin felt that he had a nonsense component, but he still nodded in agreement, after all, it is better not to be too hasty with the treatment of the artifact.
Cheng Chuliang then said: "Your Majesty, in these three months, the minister will not stay in Chang'an City, and the minister will go to the countryside to be a hermit." ”
"To be a hermit? How old are you to see through the red dust? ”
Dizzy, you Li Shimin can't speak, I'm talking about being a hermit, not a monk!
"The minister thinks that if the minister stays in Chang'an City, there will be a risk of losing his head."
Li Shimin smiled, "You are very self-aware!" ”
Cheng Chuliang's face was pale, if you don't comfort and comfort me, forget it, you even ridicule me! Turning his face and denying people so quickly? I just gave you 20,000 yuan!
"Three months later, if I can't see the artifact, or your so-called artifact, if I don't like it, it's a big crime to deceive the king, even if you are Lao Cheng's own son, I will never spare it, you can think about it!"
Li Shimin gave him a chance to regret it, but Cheng Chuliang is a person who does not regret doing things.
"I'll do something, you can rest assured!"
……
finally got out of the palace alive, and Cheng Chuliang had a feeling of being reborn after the catastrophe.
Lying on the bed, Cheng Chuliang looked at the ceiling in a daze, the evil feudal society is too pitiful, and the buddy wants to go back and eat chicken.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
He told his father Cheng Yanjin that he wanted to go to the fiefdom of Xingping County to have a look, Cheng Yanjin agreed without thinking about it, and said that he should go and meet with the villagers, lest people have planted the land for a lifetime, and they don't know who it is planted for.
packed up a large cart and saluted, took Hao Jianyi with him, and was just about to leave, but a Wuhou stopped him.
"Second Master Cheng, there is something Tang Yushi asked the villain to tell you, Shen Lan's younger brother Shen Chun ran away, and he hasn't caught it yet."
Cheng Chuliang's scalp was numb.
, does Tang Lun eat, even a Shen Chun can't catch it, if that kid knows that I made them brother, wouldn't my life be greatly threatened?
If you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of thieves, Lin Ying'er, for you, buddy is really cheating on himself! It's good that you don't see anyone every day, so you don't know the benefactor who came out to protect you?
Originally, Cheng Chuliang only planned to bring five guards, but the current situation is very serious, and the ghost knows when Shen Chun will come out and assassinate himself.
Face is precious, life is more expensive, and Cheng Chuliang, who is very insecure, added five more guards to himself before setting off.
Hao Jian persuaded him to stay in Chang'an City and stay in the Suguo Mansion for safety.
But Cheng Chuliang is a stubborn temper, and the path he chooses is to finish even if he kneels.
The reason why he was in a hurry to leave Chang'an City was not just because of the artifact, but because of his God of Wealth plan.
More than a month has passed, and although he has accumulated a lot of wealth in his hands, he is still far from surpassing Wei Chi Jingde, so he must calm down and make good money!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the long shirt is very uncomfortable sticking to the body, Cheng Chuliang thought about it, and when he got to Zhuangzi, he asked people to make a short-sleeved shirt, and he came to the Tang Dynasty to enjoy it and not to suffer.
There is a post station fifty miles away from Zhuangzi, and the director of the post station Chen is a very discerning person, looking at Cheng Chuliang's dress, and then seeing that he brought more than a dozen people, as well as a maidservant, it must be a gentleman who can't be provoked in Chang'an City.
He served tea and poured wine, very attentive, "This is the only plate of dried dates left in the post station, please taste it!" ”
As soon as Director Chen finished speaking, he heard the guy at the next table slam the bowl on the table, and said angrily: "Director Chen, Fang Cai asked you if you still have any fruit to drink, you said no, why do you have an extra plate of dried dates now?" ”
Director Chen rolled his eyes at him, I don't know what is dead or alive, can you compare with a nobleman, and you don't pee to show your own virtue! Isn't it good to keep your mouth shut honestly, if you have to die, I will offend the nobles, and I can't save you.
"No is no, I really think of myself as an uncle, this is not a hotel, this is a post station, only officials can come in, I can let you sit here, I already pity you!"
Director Chen seemed to want to show his respect for Cheng Chuliang, and he continued to say to the guy: "I've seen a lot of people like you, and your temper is outrageous, but you don't have any real skills at all!" ”
"Don't look down on people!"
In the face of the rebuttal, Director Chen snorted lightly, "It's up to you that others can afford to look down on, don't hate this and that all day long, if you want people to look down on, at least you have to do something that people can look down on!" ”
Hey, this Chen is talking about one thing at a time, and letting him manage a guest house is really a bit condescending!
The guy was so angry that his face turned green, he clenched his fists and slammed the table, "I want a bucket of eight liters of wine!" ”
Director Chen was stunned for a moment, and he despised it even more in his heart, the amount of wine is amazing, it's just a wine bag and rice bag!
Seeing that Master Chen didn't move, he took out the copper coin, and said angrily: "My Ma Zhou can't do without your wine money!" ”
Director Chen was not in a hurry to collect the money as before, but said very calmly: "Then you have to wait, and when I finish serving the nobles, I will go to give you wine!" ”
After speaking, he also looked at Cheng Chuliang flatteringly, but he found that Cheng Chuliang's attention didn't seem to be on himself, which made him a little disappointed.
"Master Chen, don't deceive people too much! I'm going to drink right now! ”
Cheng Chuliang stood up and motioned to Chief Chen not to speak, he walked up to the guy and asked, "Your name is Ma Zhou?" ”
"My name is Ma Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Ma Zhou of Qinghe Chiping?"
This time it was Ma Zhou's turn to be stunned, his hometown was thousands of miles away in Chang'an, and he never imagined that there were still people who knew him near Chang'an City.
He stood up excitedly, changed his previous arrogant attitude, and asked with a fist, "Dare to ask who this Lang Jun is?" ”
Hao Jian is very disgusted with this kind of arrogant person, there is no capital to be crazy, you look at how low-key my second young master is, this may be the gap between people.
He was very proud of Tsushima Zhoudao: "This is the second young master of General Cheng of Suguo, the son of Xingping County, the second master of Cheng!" ”
The principal was already mentally prepared, and he was not surprised when he learned Cheng Chuliang's identity, but Ma Zhou was different.
He is so crazy, but he is just the head of the post station, and in the face of Cheng Chuliang, even if he is given ten guts, he can't be crazy.
The gap in status made him ashamed of himself.
