Chapter 414: Provocation
In fact, Lu Zheng wanted to ask An Sheng to meet the master together, but he had many concerns in his heart. 23u.
First, the western suburbs are in the middle of nowhere, and he is afraid that An Sheng will follow him tiring, and he is afraid that people will be tired; Second, the situation is unclear now, and he doesn't know if there will be any accidents or dangers when he goes to see that master, so although he has a heart, he is afraid not to say this.
Let's wait until we discuss it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before making a decision.
Lu Zheng sent An Sheng back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and went directly to see the prince.
After leaving the Wang family, Lu Zheng met with the prince, but he had a lot less scruples.
Now I am afraid that everyone knows that Lu Zheng is the prince's person, and it is not necessary to hide it anymore.
When the prince heard that Lu Zheng was coming, he hurriedly called for someone to come in.
Lu Zheng followed the attendant into the inner hall, saluted the prince, and was called by the prince.
"Why did you come to see me now, didn't you say that you would go back to eat with your mother?" The prince joked with a smile.
Everyone knows that the Duchess of the Protector invited the second lady of the Gu family to the house as a guest today, so Lu Zheng was in a hurry to return to the house early, and everyone actually guessed a little reason, but they didn't just say it on the surface.
But the prince doesn't have so many scruples, when he meets in private, the prince doesn't even have a title, and he is also close to Lu Zheng, so it's nothing to make a little joke.
Lu Zheng naturally didn't care about the prince's jokes, and he felt that if he talked about the cold iron later, the prince would definitely not have the heart to joke with himself.
Sure enough, after he told the truth about Han Tie, the prince suddenly lost his heart to joke.
"Lu Zheng, you fiancΓ©e, it's terrible!" After listening to Lu Zheng's words, the prince couldn't help but praise.
In the face of the prince's praise, Lu Zheng was particularly honored, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said politely: "Your Highness has won the award." β
The prince and Lu Zheng have also grown up together since childhood, don't you know his temperament, as soon as you see him like this, you know that this person is going to be happy now, but he is still deliberately holding it on his face.
However, he really didn't pay attention to this now, and he didn't have the heart to tease Lu Zheng anymore, so he hurriedly asked him: "How to find the master mentioned by Master Puyun?" β
If they could master the forging method of cold iron, how could they still be afraid of the heavy arrows of the Huns?
This is an extraordinary and important discovery, how can the prince not be excited!
"This is the second major event I came to discuss with His Highness, Master Puyun said, that master is good wine, especially old wine, I think, the wine in the palace is unusual, and I think it will definitely attract the attention of that master, so I came to find His Highness."
Lu Zheng's meaning couldn't be clearer, he came to the prince to ask for wine.
However, the prince was not unhappy at all when he was asked for something, but was very happy.
"It's easy to say, you wait, I'll send someone to fetch some good wine, you just take it away." The prince agreed very happily, and directly summoned the chief chamberlain and asked him to fetch some old and good wine.
The chamberlain received the order and immediately went out.
Lu Zheng didn't say anything polite to the prince, he knew that the prince wouldn't even be able to take out a few jars of wine.
Two quarters of an hour later, the chamberlain returned, along with the wine from the four jars.
Lu Zheng got what he wanted, so he was relieved, didn't stay longer, got up and said goodbye to the prince.
The prince asked him to send him out, but Lu Zheng didn't refuse.
These jars of wine can be of great use, and they can't go wrong, so it's better to have someone help him take them out.
When he was about to leave the palace gate, unfortunately, he met the eldest prince who was about to enter the palace.
Lu Zheng paused slightly, and then continued to walk forward.
The attendant behind him bowed and followed, not daring to look up.
As soon as the eldest prince saw Lu Zheng, his face fell, as if Lu Zheng owed him 1.8 million taels of silver.
Lu Zheng didn't care, walked closer, hugged his fists and bowed slightly, and greeted him politely.
The eldest prince looked at Lu Zheng with a gloomy face, and it wasn't until the attendant behind him reminded him that he snorted without yin or yang.
Seeing the waiter behind Lu Zheng holding the wine jar in his hand, the eldest prince's eyes moved faintly, and he said mockingly: "General Lu is here to ask for a reward in the palace?" My imperial brother is also stingy, why did he send General Lu away with just a few jars of wine, and didn't even give some jewels and utensils? β
These words are purely out of nowhere, deliberately provoking, Lu Zheng naturally will not take it to heart.
"The eldest prince laughed, the prince cherishes and gives rewards, which is Lu Zheng's blessing."
"You ......" Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't accept the offer, the eldest prince couldn't help but be even more angry when he pushed his words back.
"Your Highness, the noble concubine is still waiting for you." The attendant behind the eldest prince saw that the eldest prince was about to lose his temper, and hurriedly reminded him.
When the eldest prince heard the voice of the attendant, he came back to his senses, snorted coldly, flew Lu Zheng a few eye knives, and then threw his sleeves and left.
When Lu Zheng saw that the eldest prince was gone, he also strode away without looking at the eldest prince again.
The eldest prince took a few steps, turned around, and glared at Lu Zheng resentfully before continuing to walk forward.
Out of the palace gate, Lu Zheng asked the chamberlain beside the prince to hand over the wine jar to Si Qi for two, and he held two for himself, and then, holding the two wine jars with one arm, turned over on the horse, pulled the reins with one hand, shook the reins slightly, and rode away.
Seeing that Lu Zheng's master and servant were gone, the chamberlain turned around and went back to the East Palace to resume his life.
After Lu Zheng returned to the Protector's Mansion, he first placed all the wine jars, and then sent someone to reply to the Lin family, and asked Si Qi to invite Lu Wen to his house.
Si Qi obeyed the order, and soon, he came back with Lu Wen.
"General, you're looking for me." Lu Wen walked into Lu Zheng's room and asked.
Lu Zheng nodded, pointed to the chair beside him, and said to Lu Wen, "Sit down and say." β
Lu Wen walked over and sat down, and listened to Lu Zheng: "Tomorrow, you go out with me and go to the western suburbs." β
"To the western suburbs?" Lu Wen pondered for a while, thinking that Lu Zheng should not go to the western suburbs for no reason, so he asked again, "Could it be related to the heavy arrow that the general asked me to take?" β
Two hours ago, Lu Zheng asked Si Qi to come to him to ask for the heavy arrow, and he guessed what Lu Zheng should be doing.
Now, Lu Zheng said that he was going to the western suburbs tomorrow, so Lu Wencai guessed that this trip should probably have something to do with this matter.
"Yes, that's exactly for that."
Lu Zheng naturally wouldn't hide it from Lu Wen, so he told Lu Wen that An Sheng had discovered that the heavy arrow was made of cold iron, and they learned from Master Puyun that the holder of the book that recorded Han Tie was an unborn master, and they all told Lu Wen.
"Tomorrow, you and I will go, mainly to ask that master to guide the method of forging cold iron, remember, don't offend people." Lu Zheng admonished.
"Don't worry, general, I know what is important." Lu Wen replied.
