Chapter 173: The Journey (I)

One morning in late August and autumn, Li Chengqian and his entourage left Chang'an City without alarming anyone.

Just because the identity of the prince is too sensitive, Li Chengqian doesn't want to be taken off by the so-called 'ringing horse' on the road.

It's not that there are no people who see them off, but the shameless old goods don't mention it.

Cheng Lao Pifu actually took away a whole 50 carts of cement from Li Chengqian in the name of seeing him off.

God knows what to do with so much cement, Li Chengqian even maliciously speculated whether Cheng Laoxiang wanted to repair a concrete coffin for himself.

Soon, however, Li Chengqian's depression disappeared, as he was finally able to leave Chang'an and wander around.

In the past, in Chang'an, we must maintain our demeanor, be cautious in our words and deeds, and be gentle and frugal...... and so on, and a series of issues that need attention, no longer exist.

Suddenly freed from these shackles, he had a feeling that the sea was wide and the sky was free for birds to fly.

"Your Highness, what do you think of our arrangement?" Just when Li Chengqian looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and was very impressed, Wang Xuance leaned over to him and asked.

"You guys look at it, I have never left Chang'an for twenty miles in my life, what is the difference between asking me and asking stones." Very dissatisfied with Wang Xuance interrupting his feelings, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said.

However, Wang Xuance, who turned around to arrange the trip, soon knew what it meant to talk like a fart, because when he didn't finish the arrangement, the 'stone' Li Chengqian came over and kept proposing various plans.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided that the main reason for going to Shandong or by land was that there were more than half of the landlubbers in the team.

"Da Lang, what are you doing with old money in Shandong?" After the group went on the road, Xi Junmai asked curiously.

"Old money, old money, of course, is to manage money." Li Chengqian rode on his little mare and said in a leisurely manner.

Li Chengqian and his line of work are either scribes or martial artists, and if there is no housekeeper on the way to Shandong, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach halfway, and they will have to ask for food to come back.

"Then what are you doing with that?" Xi Junmai asked persistently.

Although Li Chengqian wanted to ask this second goods, what Lao Tzu was doing with you, he finally said: "We may have to stay in Shandong for a long time, there are many battles there, and there are already ten rooms and nine emptiness, I think maybe we can do something there to give the people there one more way to live." ”

"I don't understand!" Xi Junmai shook his head.

"Come on, come on, I'll tell you." The clever and ghostly Wu Chen rode up from the side and dragged Xi Junmai aside.

According to his estimate, if Lao Xi chatted with Li Chengqian for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have to go berserk.

"Does Your Highness plan to stay in Shandong in the future?" After a while, Wang Xuance on the other side of Li Chengqian asked.

"Does Xuan Ce think it's possible?" Li Chengqian asked rhetorically with emotion.

"It's really a lot of thinking." Li Chengqian's words made Wang Xuance shake his head and smile bitterly.

"But ......" Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Wang Xuance, paused and said, "If it is possible, I will leave you over there, and leave the old money to assist you." ”

"Huh?!" Wang Xuance looked at Li Chengqian dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, as if he had fallen into a big pit.

"Don't make such a fuss, you always need qualifications to mix in the court, you are in this state, I just recommend you, what's the use? One has no qualifications, and the other has no political achievements, and in the big dye vat in Chang'an City, I want to get ahead...... Hey. Li Chengqian looked at Wang Xuance and said with a sneer.

Li Chengqian knew that Wang Xuance had a high heart, but now this guy has nothing to do except for a scholarly spirit and a smart brain. If you throw him into the court full of old foxes at this time, I am afraid that it will not be the right way to fulfill him.

Wang Xuance is indeed a shrewd person, and he heard the implicit meaning of Li Chengqian's words, but he was a little unsure, and couldn't help asking: "Don't ask Your Highness to make it clear." ”

"I left you in Shandong to let you increase your experience as an official, and if you have old money to help you, it will be easy to get results."

"In this way, it is far stronger than the big dye vat in the court as soon as you come up, and the fighting method with that group of old foxes is much stronger, and it will not be slower than you in the court."

Li Chengqian rode on a horse and walked on the reins, like a student on an autumn tour, explaining to Wang Xuance without a sentence the reason for letting him stay in Shandong, and similarly, he was also teaching him some ways to be an official.

After a long while, Wang Xuance exhaled a long breath, and immediately respectfully saluted Li Chengqian: "Xuance thanked His Highness for mentioning something." ”

"It's good if you can understand, there is nothing to thank or thank, as long as you can benefit one party in Shandong in the future, it will be the best thank you to me." Li Chengqian said with a light smile.

Although it is very useful to keep Wang Xuance by his side now, Li Chengqian knows very well that as he grows older, the help that Wang Xuance can bring to him with no qualifications and no experience will become smaller and smaller, and even this time will not exceed five years.

But if Wang Xuance is released, in the same five years, he may bring himself fifty years of help.

That's why Li Chengqian decided to let go, arrange Wang Xuance to the local area, and let him exercise at the grassroots level, anyway, he is not an adult yet, and the things he encountered will not be too complicated, and he is far from being able to use Wang Xuance.

What's more, with Wang Xuance's ability, as long as there are no big mistakes, it is very likely that he will become a big party member in the future, so that Li Chengqian will not only get a powerful helper, but even the entire territory of Shandong.

In the following time, basically nothing happened, Wang Xuance was constantly pondering the way of being an official as Li Chengqian said along the way, Xi Junmai and Wu Chen became good friends who talked about everything, and every day the two got together to study what to eat in Shandong.

Bao Longtu still looks like an ascetic, only eats at each meal and does not eat vegetables, and behaves very well to feed.

Wang Chenghu has been talking less since he came back from hunting, and if no one talks to him, then it is likely that he will not squeak for a day.

Lin Xiaoxiao's death made Wang Chenghu live in self-blame all the time, Li Chengqian tried to enlighten him several times, but it had no effect, and in the end he had no choice but to let him go.

Qian Steward and Abatou are the busiest in this group, eating and staying in the hotel along the way, the two of them have to be busy, from Chang'an to Shandong, these two guys have lost about 20 pounds each.
