Two miles outside the east gate of Chang'an City, a carriage belonging to the royal family overturned on the side of the road, an old man with three middle-aged people was discussing something around a square box removed from the car, and the coachman was standing awkwardly rubbing his hands and not knowing what to do.

When he came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially told him that everything should be focused on the old man of the public loser, and the old man would let him do whatever he wanted, but the coachman never expected that the old man would dismantle the carriage.

And Li Chengqian didn't expect the old man to be so weird, and the meaning of his instructions to the coachman was actually very simple, that is, he wanted the coachman not to provoke the old man.

I thought that most of the old men would come out a little later, and at most they would ask for a little faster and slower on the road, but who would have thought that the old man would be .......

Forget it, I don't want to think about it, every time I think of the old man dismantling the car, Li Chengqian is a stomachache. After seeing the overturned carriage on the side of the road from a distance, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty took two deep breaths and pressed all the complaints to the bottom of his heart.

However, the four fathers and sons of the public loser are really powerful, Li Chengqian and his party rushed to the scene, and they didn't have a reaction when they got out of the carriage. The four of them were still studying the box, as if trying to figure out how to open it.

"It's a differential, and if you want to turn it on, you need to have a special tool, like this." Li Chengqian stood far away and watched for a while, took out a set of tools from the toolbox of his carriage, walked to the four of them and handed them over.

"What is this? How weird? My husband didn't notice who handed him the tool, but after taking a common screwdriver in later generations, he looked at it curiously.

Li Chengqian was defeated by this old man who only had skills in his eyes, squatted down to his side, and explained to him: "This is called a screwdriver, or it can be called a screwdriver, if the old earl is serious about looking for it in the carriage, it can be found in a box in the back." ”

"Uh, His Royal Highness the Prince?!" Suddenly there was an extra person beside him, and finally let the old man get out of the state of study, looking at Li Chengqian and asking with confusion: "Why is Your Highness here?" Not to say ...... in the Research Agency"

The old man was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that they were going to the research department to see the prince on this trip, but on the way, because they were too curious about the carriage, they decided to study it, and this study was .......

"His Royal Highness the Prince, minister, old man, I'm ......" The old man's face changed instantly when he reacted to what he had done, and he changed several self-names in embarrassment, but he couldn't say a finished sentence.

Li Chengqian just won't be a man anymore, and he won't let the old man explain anything to himself when he is here, and after waving his hand to interrupt the old man, he said: "The old earl doesn't have to mind, this carriage can be sent to the earl in this palace, and you can study it whenever you want in the future." ”

"Minister, thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince!" After getting such a reply from Li Chengqian, what else could the old man ask for? Nothing but a thank you.

However, the keen Li Chengqian heard another voice from it, this old man called himself a minister, which means that this old man obviously agreed to go out of the mountain.

I don't know if this is a crooked fight, although the old man delayed some time, but it saved Li Chengqian a lot of effort.

Before that, he had been thinking about how to communicate with the old man who lost the public loser, after all, the ancestral training of the public loser was placed there, 'not an official, not a politician', even if he was the prince, he could not let the family disown the ancestor.

But now, whether the old man is curious or guilty, in short, the old man has compromised and agreed to Li Chengqian's request, what else can he say in such a situation.

"Your Highness, let's go back, it's too cold here, and it won't be good if the old earl suffers from the cold." Tang Shan saw that Li Chengqian and the old man were talking happily, and stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time gave the two of them a step down.

After all, Xiao Tang's Lao Tzu is a well-known diplomatic talent in the Tang Dynasty, even if Xiao Tang does not get any true inheritance, but he has eyebrows and eyes.

"Yes, yes, look, this palace is so happy that he forgot about it." Li Chengqian took advantage of the 'steps' handed by Xiao Tang, and turned his head to the others: "The old earl follows the palace, the rest of you find a car by yourself, let's go to the Dongshi Welcome Building, and the palace has a treat today!" ”

"That's good, the minister hasn't eaten the food of the welcome building for a long time, since His Royal Highness has a treat, the minister has to have a good tooth sacrifice." Tang Shanzhi echoed casually, and at the same time gave Li Chengqian a smug look.

He was deliberately cooperating with Li Chengqian to relieve the tension of the losers, and at the same time leave them with the impression that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was more kind.

How could Li Chengqian not know Xiao Tang's plans, whether he was a brother who had played together since childhood, he could basically guess what the other party meant with a look and a gesture, and if such an obvious hint could not be seen now, the brothers who had been doing so many years would be in vain.

In the end, the old man is a sincere person, and there is still some difference between him and the heads of those families with five surnames and seven wangs, and he was fooled by Li Chengqian and others in a few words, so he stepped on the thief ship and followed them into the carriage.

On the carriage, the old man who had left the state of research had embarrassment written on his face, and he brought up the old things with some embarrassment and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is all the minister's fault, and the minister is curious for a while, and he plans to see how this carriage is different from other carriages, so he ......."

"The old earl doesn't have to be so guilty, in fact, this palace appreciates your curiosity, the so-called living to old age, learning old age, refers to this kind of intellectual curiosity to pursue the unknown. Just imagine, if it weren't for this curiosity, we would probably still be living that kind of life of drinking blood. ”

Li Chengqian didn't want to preach to the old man, so he simply mentioned his curiosity and changed the subject, looked at the old man and asked: "Old Earl, the skills of the master of public loss are the top in my Huaxia, but why do most of them only leave legends, but not technology?" Do you know what it is? ”

"And why is it that everyone is a thousand-year-old family, but the five surnames and seven wangs are widely known to the world, and they have unparalleled influence in Datang, and the public losers...... You know, there is no malice in this palace, but I just can't figure out why this is the case. ”

Li Chengqian did not have malicious intent, but his words undoubtedly poked the old man's sore spot, making the old man fall silent, and only after a while did he sigh and say: "They rely on their influence among the literati, but my public loser is just a craftsman in the end, how can he compare with them." ”
