Chapter 187: Leaving Chang'an in a hurry
Listening to Lu Dongzan's words, the master craftsman seemed to be a little embarrassed, and withdrew his hand to carry the gold, but he didn't speak, in his heart, it was enough to have two boxes of gold, and not to do anything else, so as not to put himself in a dangerous situation.
Lu Dongzan saw that the other party was not forcibly moving the gold, but he didn't speak, and glanced at the Great Elder with a wry smile, he didn't want to ask anymore, so he said to the Great Elder: "What does the Great Elder have to ask?" ”
The Great Elder was not polite either, and asked directly: "When encountering artillery, how can we reduce our losses." ”
The master craftsman glanced at the Great Elder: "This question has to be paid first." ”
"Humph! It's not a good thing to be too greedy, if your Excellency is still perfunctory to us like the previous two questions, I'm afraid that you won't be able to spend this money steadily. ”
"Humph! I have long heard that the Hu people are unreliable, and today I see that it is indeed the case. This made Lu Dongzan and the Great Elder very unhappy, why don't you say that you Tang people are insatiable, from top to bottom, big greed, small greed.
"That's the last question, either pay first, or you please." The reason why this master is so tough is that Lai Lu Dongzan's first question is not at the same level, you came to my house in the carriage of the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked me which department I work in, either this is a joke, or the relationship between this person and the eldest grandson Wuji is not as good as imagined, and even when I came to visit the eldest grandson Wuji, I don't know, you must know that the Hu people do not have much noble status in the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Dongzan was also very unhappy when he saw the attitude of this master, in the snowy plateau, who dared to speak like this to him, the emperor of the soil, and dared to do so, either he had already gone to the west to report, or he didn't know which mountain lump to carry stones to do coolies.
Holding his breath, he pulled a box of gold to the master craftsman, and the master smith's face was slightly better-looking: "I have only one piece of advice when I encounter artillery, that is, I should immediately turn around and run, as far as I can." Two, everything I know has been said, please send it away. ”
"No, sir, there's a box of gold here, and since we've brought it, we don't plan to take it back, so how about asking one last question?"
The master craftsman was silent, and kept posing as a send-off, the great elder lifted the box, touched Lu Dongzan and signaled him to go quickly, MD, this Tang man in front of him is not a simple goods, and he is blind with three boxes of gold.
Lu Dongzan didn't want to leave, but the host didn't welcome it, and if he persisted, it was just humiliation, so he hugged his fist and said goodbye. The master craftsman watched them drive the carriage away through the crack in the door, and did not alarm the head of the workshop and the Wuhou who patrolled the street, and his heart completely settled down.
The eldest grandson Wuji's car sent Lu Dongzan and the two to the residence smoothly, although there were several waves of Wuhou who came forward to ask, but when they saw that it was the carriage of Zhao Guogong's family, they let them go after asking casually.
The master craftsman is also a ruthless man, in Chang'an, he doesn't think that the carriage of the eldest grandson's family is parked at the door of his house, and the eldest grandson Wuji will not know, so the next day he took two boxes of gold to the eldest grandson Wuji's house, which went smoothly, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, and the rich eldest grandson Wuji was obviously waiting for him.
Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to ask, the master told him about the two Hu people yesterday, including every word they said, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the two boxes of gold in front of him and smiled silently, and did not express his opinion after listening to the master master, but just praised him twice and let him retreat.
The dignified Zhao Guogong, when the prime minister of the dynasty was naturally very busy, if it weren't for the fact that this matter involved Lu Dongzan, and he was used by Lu Dongzan to die well, his heart was naturally atmospheric, and now his subordinate officials can think about the problem from their own point of view, and send the Hu people away in a few words, and there are two boxes of gold to pay respect, and the unhappiness in his heart will be put aside temporarily, and at the same time, he acquiesces to the fact that his subordinates keep a box of gold privately, and he has to let others drink soup when he eats meat, right?
It's just that what is the purpose of Lu Dongzan's inquiry about artillery? The Great Elder Tuyuhun and the Wei Room and the Goguryeo Quartet all colluded together, which is interesting. After thinking for a moment, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "It's all restless! ”
He decided to immediately enter the palace to tell Li Er, Lu Dongzan This product is a big shortage, don't expect the emperor to know about this matter.
The next day, Lu Dongzan gathered the Great Elder with the envoys of Wei Room and Goguryeo and told him about yesterday's situation.
The Goguryeo envoy said angrily: "Didn't this Tang man play tricks on us!" ”
"That's it, I'll take someone to destroy him, and our gold is not so easy to take."
"No, now our whereabouts are estimated to be known by the Tang Emperor soon, for safety, we should go quickly, while there is no movement yet, we should leave Chang'an as soon as possible, and then act at the opportunity, the matter is urgent, I won't be long-winded, let's prepare separately, farewell!"
After speaking, he and the Great Elder left, the Goguryeo envoy followed, and the Wei envoy felt sorry for his box of gold, and called Lu Dongzan a few times, but he didn't get a response, so he had to scold Lu Dongzan for a while, and left quickly.
Li Er soon knew the news that the envoys of the four countries had left Chang'an, and in order to leave quickly, they said that there was a big matter in the country, and asked the Ministry of Rites to forward the resignation, but Li Er did not care, but gave several orders to the border pass to prepare for war.
