Chapter Twenty-Six: It's an exchange

When Zhao Chen heard Jiang Chao's words, he immediately laughed happily, this is the reason why he was willing to reveal something to Old Man Ji at the beginning, because what the hidden door thinks and does is trustworthy.

There is no shortage of talents in the hidden door, especially for the study of things and arithmetic, not like Confucianism, if the hidden door has that mind and stands up in the troubled times, then the hidden door is not what it is now!

If it weren't for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, which was threatening their living environment step by step, I am afraid that Old Man Ji would not have come to Chang'an in person this time.

Inside the hidden door, it's just a bunch of bachelor monsters!

Jiang Chao seems to be really tired enough, he rushed to Lingnan all the way, and he was worried all the way, for fear that Zhao Chen would be really angry and fight against Datang, so that he could only obediently take people back to the hidden door.

Chang'an doesn't need to think about it, people like Zhao Chen, who have the identity of immortal disciples, can't stay in Chang'an, not to mention that they are hidden, but they have inherited a little bit of the ancestors, and they don't even think about it.

Now that he heard Zhao Chen's exact reply and knew that he was thinking too much, Jiang Chao's heart was relieved, and a huge sense of exhaustion immediately came up, and he talked to Zhao Chen again, then lay down on Zhao Chen's couch and fell asleep completely.

The house on Hudao has not yet started, Zhao Chen still lives in a tent, looking at the snoring sound of Jiang Chao sleeping there, Zhao Chen had to smile bitterly, put down his work, and walked out of the tent.

When I came outside, I saw Cheng Chumo sitting there with a sad face, looking up at the sky, looking obviously melancholy.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen came to Cheng Chumo strangely and sat down next to Cheng Chumo. Pushed Cheng Chumo with his shoulder, and asked jokingly: "It's not going to be a father!" ”

Cheng Chumo suddenly turned his head. He glared at Zhao Chen vigorously, and then sighed vigorously. He said dejectedly: "Brother Chen, Uncle Qin is coming!" ”

"Uncle Qin is here, as for making you worry like this?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he suddenly looked at Cheng Chu with some strange words and said silently.

Lao Qin is coming, this is what Jiang Chao told him just now, Zhao Chen's affairs in Lingnan, Jiang Chao learned about it indirectly from Lao Qin. During this time, Jiang Chao didn't go there, just stayed next to Zhao's mansion.

That afternoon. He saw Qin Huaidao hurriedly enter the Zhao Mansion, and then learned about Zhao Chen from Qin Huaidao's mouth.

Then, he didn't wait for Lao Qin to set off, so he came to Lingnan first by himself!

"Alas!" Cheng Chu sighed vigorously, raised his head and looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Uncle Qin came here this time at the behest of His Majesty, what if His Majesty says in his will that he wants the two of us to go back to Chang'an?" ”

Zhao Chen just wanted to blurt out. Naturally, there is no return. But seeing Cheng Chumo's sad face, he suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Cheng Chumo is different from him, he is a passerby of Datang. When he was in Chang'an, he could still take care of Li Er's imperial power, but when he got here. Li Er's will will not have any deterrent effect on him.

But the process is silently different. No matter what happens in the future, Cheng Chumo will return to Chang'an in the future. Li Er's will is useless to him, but for Cheng Chumo, it is a tight spell, no matter how far he runs, as long as Li Er says a word, he will be obedient immediately.

"Don't worry!" Zhao Chen thought for a while, looked at Cheng Chumo and said: "Now Your Majesty wants to let me go back to Chang'an, anyway, he knows that you will go back sooner or later, and he will not specifically ask you to go back at this time!" ”

When Cheng Chumo heard Zhao Chen's words, his originally melancholy expression improved slightly, but in a blink of an eye, he said with gains and losses: "What if?" ”

"If you are allowed to go back then, we will find a way!" Zhao Chen was a little speechless, so he had to be relieved. Seeing that Cheng Chumo still had a melancholy expression, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When Jiang Chao woke up, it was almost the morning of the second day, and he was completely tired along the way, but fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had strong physical fitness, so he survived all the way.

The tent was quiet, only Zhao Chen climbed on a table to describe something, and when he heard the sound of Jiang Chao waking up behind him, he immediately turned around, looked at Jiang Chao with a smile and said, "Awake?" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Chao responded, got up from the couch, and stretched comfortably. Then, when he saw the picture that Zhao Chen was drawing on the table, he immediately walked over curiously and looked down at the picture on it.

"What is this? It looks like a house, but it doesn't look like it? "Above is the manor of the lake island drawn by Zhao Chen, using a floor plan, Jiang Chao is naturally confused.

"After a while, I'm going to build a big estate on the lake island!" Zhao Chen poured Jiang Chao a cup of tea, then stood in front of the drawing, pointed to the drawing on it and said, "This is the outline of the manor I painted, take a look, how about it?" ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he remembered that when he came over yesterday, he did seem to see an island in the middle of the lake, but he had something in his heart at that time, and he didn't care about anything else at all.

At this time, with Zhao Chen's explanation, Jiang Chao's eyes looked at the outline of the manor on the drawing, which looked a little confused because he couldn't understand it before, but now listening to Zhao Chen's detailed explanation, Jiang Chao's eyes were immediately full of interest.

"Are you really going to settle here?" The manor is indeed well designed, and Jiang Chao is a little tempted to see it, but thinking of His Majesty the Emperor of Chang'an, Jiang Chao's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Chen a little strangely and asked.

"I love it here!" Zhao Chen didn't answer Jiang Chao's words directly, smiled at Jiang Chao, and said.

"It's useless to like it!" Jiang Chao said unceremoniously: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land!" You don't understand this! ”

"I understand!" Zhao Chen put the drawings on the table, pulled over a chair casually, sat down and looked at Jiang Chao and said, "However, things have to be done to see how to do it!" What Brother Jiang is worried about is nothing more than that my identity makes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty jealous, so he won't let me be here! ”

Zhao Chen looked at Jiang Chao, took a breath, and continued: "However, I also said at the beginning, I won't want to fight against Datang, so, you have also seen that the dilapidated city in Nanfuzhou, since it was broken by me, has been resting there, I don't go to live in the city, and I won't call someone to repair it, why?" That's because that's not my business! ”

Seeing Jiang Chao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Chen smiled and continued: "I just live here, build a manor on the lake island, and then, train some sailors, and when the time is ripe, I will sail to sea, as for Nanfuzhou, whether the emperor will send officials or troops in the future, it will be the emperor's business!" ”

Send the officials to govern, or send the army to station, no matter which one it is, in this way, Nanfu will really become the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. With the arrival of these people, it basically eliminates the possibility of Zhao Chen's self-reliance, so if Zhao Chen wants to live here for a long time, it is not impossible!

"But will the emperor agree?" Jiang Chao thought about what Zhao Chen said in his mind, and finally asked with some concern.

"What if you don't say yes?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "When I came here, it was still barren everywhere, but now it has become vibrant, if the emperor can't even meet my requirements by then, then what else can this Datang be nostalgic for!" ”

"Is this an exchange with the Tang Emperor?" After listening to Zhao Chen's words, Jiang Chao frowned and looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

"Whatever you want!" Zhao Chen chuckled lightly and said angrily.

"If it really does what you want, then this place is really a good place!" Jiang Chao imagined in his mind that once Li Er agreed, in this place far away from Emperor Gao, he would be unrestrained, and suddenly, he said with some yearning.

"Is Brother Jiang interested in coming over to accompany me?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately looked at Jiang Chao with a smile and said: "When the time comes, let's go to sea together, there are many novelties overseas!" ”

"Jiang can't be the master!" Jiang Chao was already a little tempted in his heart, but when he thought of the responsibility he was carrying, he suddenly sighed and said: "The situation on your side, the ancestor doesn't know anything about it now, Jiang has to rush back to the mountain as soon as possible, and then the ancestor will decide!" ”

"Oh well! It just so happens that you are here this time, so help me bring a letter to Ji Lao when you leave! When Zhao Chen heard this, the expression on his face suddenly darkened a little. The situation of the hidden door is not good now, last time it was to seek to get out of the mountain, but now, this is happening.

Zhao Chen had a good impression of the Hidden Gate in his heart, and he didn't want to ruin the existence of the Hidden Gate because of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, so his idea was to move the Hidden Gate here if it was possible.

One solves the existential crisis of the hidden door, and the other is that he also intends to pass on the things in his hand to the hidden door permanently! (To be continued......)
