Chapter 273: A Birthday Trip
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. By the end of August, the weather has become cooler, and Luoyang City has become more prosperous. As for the case of the dragon king absorbing water, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news. Zhang Chen almost forgot that there was such a thing, and when Empress Wu looked for him, he never mentioned these things to him.
There is still more than a month to go before the 60th birthday of the Turkic Qimin Great Khan, and the time is almost up, and Zhang Chen must start the Turkic trip. And his toothbrush and bizarre bicycle business are very popular in Luoyang City! Nowadays, cycling is already a fashion. However, because the workmanship of the bicycle is relatively fine, it is purely manual, and a car needs to spend a lot of material resources and manpower, so the price is also very high. Of course, the bicycle for the time being has not yet become widespread enough to be used. The vast majority of people buy it for fun and show. And Zhang Chen's promise to his brothers will naturally be fulfilled, and everyone in Dali Temple will have one and ride out together, which is indeed super stylish.
In addition, Zhang Chen also launched the red jade brand tooth powder, with the red jade brand toothbrush, the effect is very good! Today, the name Zhang Chen has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. You don't know that the current emperor of Lu Dao is Li Zhi, and the current queen is Wu Meiniang, but you must know who invented this red jade brand soap in Lu Dao! In addition, Zhang Chen loves the people like a son, implements benevolent government everywhere, and lets the people elect the officials they like, Zhang Chen has become a legend in the mouths of the people.
As for that weird side quest, it's purely a pit, and it changes every day. Either call Zhang Chen to kill, or call Zhang Chen to force X. Or robbery, voyeurism of women bathing, setting fire to people's estates, and so on. However, fortunately, even if you don't complete the side quests, it's not a big deal, but it's a pity to see those hundreds of experiences just lost.
Just came out of Concubine Shu's bedroom, Zhang Chen was dying. They all said that they had to endure each other and couldn't do that again. But Concubine Shu still couldn't help it. But it's okay. This time I was not discovered by the concubine.
"Oh, Master Zhang, you're coming to see your sister again!"
Suddenly, a coquettish voice sounded, and Zhang Chen hurriedly turned his head to look. It's Xiangfei! Just thought of her. She appeared right in front of her eyes. It's really ghostly! Today's Concubine Xiang is wearing a pink dress. Her chest was pulled low, almost exposing most of her super murder weapon. Big, really big! Among so many women I've ever seen. This pair of murder weapons is definitely the biggest! F? H? It should be N! The main thing is that he also has an extremely bewitching face! This woman was born to do tasks!
"Oh, Concubine Xiang! Hello mother! Zhang Chen said. Respectfully.
"Lord Zhang is really good to my sister!" Concubine Xiang smiled. The word "really good" is very important, and it also says a special taste.
Zhang Chen was slightly startled, and said softly: "Weichen and Shufei Niangniang are old acquaintances, so the relationship is better!" ”
"Alas, Master Zhang, do you have time to sit down and talk?" Concubine Xiang asked softly. Those soul-hooking eyes stared straight at Zhang Chen, as if they wanted to see through Zhang Chen. However, she really wants to see through Zhang Chen and Zhang Chen's clothes!
Does Zhang Chen dare to say no? There was no way, Zhang Chen could only follow Concubine Xiang to Concubine Xiang's bedroom. When Zhang Chen came out of Concubine Xiang's bedroom, he only felt that his legs were a little disobedient. Superb! Sure enough, it's the best! It's amazing, it's crazy!
……
On the official road leading to Jinju, a long dragon of people was driving slowly, about 3,000 people, most of them were guards armed with swords and guns, and there were countless carriages mixed in. The most bizarre thing is that there are dozens of bicycles in the mix.
"Master Zhang, your bicycle is quite interesting! Master Zhang is really a talented person, a toothbrush, and soap, and he can make these things! Li Jian, who was next to Zhang Chen, rode a bicycle and followed Zhang Chen's side, smiling.
"The prince praised it falsely! It's just a little trick to carve insects! Zhang Chen said with a smile. Recently, he has said this sentence countless times. No way, wherever he goes, someone praises him! The Empress Wu is even worse, every time she asks him to enter the palace, she has to praise him dozens of times.
It was a long way to go to the Turks, so Zhang Chen and others had to set off more than a month in advance. There are many scary gifts for birthday celebrations, and the most gratifying thing for Zhang Chen is that there are 3,000 pieces of soap, 3,000 toothbrushes, 3,000 boxes of tooth powder and 30 bicycles. This shows that Empress Wu looked up to him and sent these things he made to the Turks as gifts.
Of course, with so many things, Zhang Chen will not give them to the Empress Wu in vain. If you don't charge more, you have to pay the cost, right? He's not the kind of "rich" lord!
"Lord Zhang is really modest, talking about ancient and modern characters, this king has never seen that strange person have such ability as Lord Zhang! Let's not talk about anything else, just take soap and make it much more convenient for the world! Li Jian said with a smile. I really admire Zhang Chen, a character like Zhang Chen, you really can't admire it! When he wins the world, if this guy is willing to be used by him, he will definitely make him a big official! If this guy doesn't use him, then I'm sorry, this guy must not be left for others to use!
"Hehehe, the prince praised it falsely!" Zhang Chen said with a smile. It's not cool to look at this stupid B, stupid B hehe, laughing stupid B!
Zhang Chen's bicycle is particularly prone to bumps because the tires are not plastic, but wood. However, in order to improve this, Zhang Chen added super powerful springs under the buttocks, front and rear legs. Riding like this, it feels much better, and when you encounter potholes, you can play up and down, and it feels super cool.
Those accompanying guards saw that everyone in Dali Temple was riding bicycles, their eyes were red, and they only hated that they didn't follow Master Zhang, otherwise they could get a car! This is a good thing, the market price, more than 100 taels of silver, and the workmanship is better, but it can be more than 300 taels of silver! Alas, a hundred taels of silver! How many daughters-in-law is enough for yourself?
Go all the way, and be safe first. When he was tired of riding, Zhang Chen changed to horseback riding, and occasionally sat in the carriage with Mu Bangxiang to play chess and talk about poetry and painting. As for Li Jian, when he saw himself playing chess with his wife, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything. And. Li Jian didn't sit in a carriage with Mu Bangxiang. When staying at the inn, the two also slept separately. This made Zhang Chen feel a little strange, but seeing that Li Jian and Mu Bangxiang did not live together, Zhang Chen felt very comfortable. Otherwise, such a good cabbage is arched by pigs every day, what a pity!
And Zhang Chen also brought a family member, Qiu Zhengshu. No way, he needs experience. I don't know how long this trip will take. What if there is no place to get experience, and you are demoted? Although Qiu Zhengshu's combat power value has dropped to more than 700, it is better than some people who have no combat power value! But the princess in front of her, Zhang Chen, who watched it, was always hungry and thirsty. Superb. 154 experiences at a time. I don't want to find a way to get her. What a pity!
Before they could get close to Jinju City, a large group of people greeted them. Jinju City is nearly a thousand miles away from Luoyang City, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The geographical location is extremely remote, and it can be described as a place where the emperor is far away. The name of the Jinzhou assassin is Yang Shaoqi, and when he learned that Zhang Chen and his party were coming, he was very busy, and he was very weak-hearted. He has heard of this Master Zhang's methods! I walked from Jinju City today, for fear that I would find out something by this Lord Zhang. He repeatedly ordered that the people should not be allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise they would be severely punished.
But what Yang Shaoqi didn't expect was that as soon as Zhang Chen and his party entered Jinzhou City, the people in the city all knelt on the ground and shouted injustice, accusing Yang Shaoqi of being corrupt and perverting the law and enslaving the people. called for the democratic election of officials and the removal of Yang Shaoqi from the post of Jinzhou assassin. Since this Yang Shaoqi's style is inappropriate, and he happens to pass by from here, how could Zhang Chen let go of this Yang Shaoqi? Check, check to death! Democratic election of officials, a must! I am so loved by the people, how can I be sorry for the people?
Democracy is good! It seems that the idea of democracy has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people! How long has it been? It's only two months to go up and down! I didn't expect to achieve such an effect! At the beginning, I was worried that the people would not be able to accept such an approach. It seems that no one likes to be enslaved, regardless of the dynasty. In fact, the people's requirements are not high, they just want some officials who love the people! In the face of these corrupt and arrogant officials, there was no way before, but now that I heard that this Lord Zhang is fair and honest, loves the people, and specializes in corrupt officials, of course they will redress their grievances against Zhang Chen! In the past, the civil prosecutor was nowhere to be found, but now looking for Mr. Zhang, it is right!
In the past month, Zhang Chen has received not 100 people who have come to complain, but 80! There are so many local officials in the Tang Dynasty, and they are corrupt and pervert the law, which can be seen everywhere, especially in those places where the emperor is far away. As for Zhang Chen, as long as someone sues, he will handle them one by one. Now, Zhang Chen's reputation in the mouths of the people couldn't be better! As soon as I heard that Mr. Zhang was here, I was so excited! Similarly, those officials who were corrupt and bent the law, as soon as they heard that Master Zhang was coming, they were so frightened that their legs were weak! This Yang Shaoqi in front of him is like this.
Faced with Zhang Chen like this, of course Li Jian didn't dare to say anything. On this trip, he did not forget that all the exercise rights here are in Zhang Chen's hands. And although he is the prince, he is just a foil, and he has to do whatever Zhang Chen says.
"Adults love the people like sons, so I really admire the concubine!" Mu Bangxiang looked at Zhang Chen and said with a smile.
"Hehehe, the princess is ridiculous!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
This princess has more time with herself than with Li Jian, the acting king. This made Zhang Chen entangled, could it be that Li Jian was willing to give the princess to himself in order to tie himself up? Oops, that's possible! So what should I do? Accept? Still not acceptable? Looking at Mu Bangxiang, Zhang Chen felt a little lewd in his heart.
It can be seen that this Mu Bang Xiang is taking the initiative to seduce him, many times! If he hadn't been "determined", he might have fallen! In fact, he was worried that if he misunderstood Mu Bangxiang's actions and was kicked out by her, he would never see anyone again! This woman is a master! It's really a little confusing, how could such a woman with outstanding ability, outstanding appearance, and outstanding figure marry that waste prince?
"How can there be a concubine! By the way, how is the business between Master Zhang and Prince Erdo? Mu Bang Xiangjiao smiled. She was very eager for Zhang Chen to talk to Erduo, and it was not her intention to kill Zhang Chen. Such a person really can't do it!
"Good, good!" Zhang Chen replied. After thinking about it, Zhang Chen said: "Niangniang, it's late at night, and the lower officials should go back!" ”
"Oops! Master Zhang, you don't have to worry, the prince is next door, and I'm afraid of what others will say! Mu Bang Xiangjiao smiled. If it weren't for the fact that there are many people here, and her current identity is Li Jian's princess, she can't mess around, otherwise she would have pressed Zhang Chen to the ground and ravaged her madly!
“……”
This, again, isn't it? Obviously, this princess is doing it on purpose! However, before "not" getting Li Jian's "permission", Zhang Chen still didn't dare to mess around! Actually, his worries are the same as Mu Bangxiang, mainly because there are too many people here! If they mess around, it won't affect each other well! He's a decent man! How much loved by the people! (To be continued......)
