After the eunuchs of Kunning Palace left, Zhao Lao glanced at Chen Xiangbei who was standing on the side.

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, Zhao Lao said with a calm face: "Did you hear what our family said?" Still not quitting? ”

The corners of Chen Xiangbei's mouth twitched, and he couldn't wait to go up and give this old thing a hand knife now, and then kick it a few more times.

He was not welcomed when he came to the alchemy room, and the surnamed Zhao said that the alchemy room was working overtime and asked him to wait a few more days, but at the same time, he opened a green channel for Kunning Palace.

You know, he gave money! It was not as good as the few words of Xiao Wuzi.

After collecting the money and not doing anything, what does this old thing want to do?

Chen Xiangbei suppressed the impulse in his heart to rob the rich and help the poor, this is an alchemy room, once you start here, the consequences will be very serious.

But this surnamed Zhao is clearly slapping Huaqing Palace in the face.

Or is this the will of the queen mother, let them secretly suppress the Huaqing Palace?

"Old Zhao, the rules in the palace are very strict, and the alchemy room is the supply point of the pills in the entire imperial city, so it should be said that it should come first and come first, why should you help Kunning Palace to refine the pill first?" Chen Xiangbei Zhengse Road.

When Zhao Lao heard this, he sneered: "Your Huaqing Palace is also worthy of being compared with Kunning Palace?" If you are dissatisfied, go and talk to the queen mother, don't complain about our family here. ”

Chen Xiangbei can be regarded as understanding, this old thing simply looks down on Huaqing Palace.

"Zhao Lao's words are wrong, even if Kunning Palace is the palace of the queen's mother, it should be treated equally."

Zhao Lao knew that his tongue was not as long as Chen Xiangbei, so he moved out of his previous statement again: "Our family said that the entire alchemy room is busy up and down, and there is no empty furnace. ”

Chen Xiangbei said in a deep voice: "When I came in just now, I obviously saw that there were several Dan furnaces vacant, and Zhao Lao was so favoritistic, so he wasn't afraid that I would go back and tell Concubine Li?"

Concubine Li Guifei is deeply favored by His Majesty, and maybe she will tell Your Majesty about this in a fit of anger, and the position of the head of your alchemy room when it expires... I don't know if I can sit still? ”

Seeing Chen Xiangbei move out of Li Guifei, Zhao Lao's face changed slightly, but he said as a matter of course: "You don't use Li Guifei to press our family, the alchemy needs of other palaces, our family also discriminates equally, the needs of Kunning Palace should be ranked first, as for other palaces, they will all be arranged according to the first come, first served." ”

"Even if the furnace outside is empty, who will do alchemy if there is no spare manpower?"

Of course, Zhao Lao knew the position of Li Guifei in His Majesty's heart, and the previous exception to let Li Guifei go home to save her relatives was the best proof of this.

But his explanations are reasonable, even if His Majesty comes, he can be rounded.

Moreover, as the queen personally supported the inner line of the alchemy room, how could he give up Kunning Palace and take Huaqing Palace?

Chen Xiangbei sneered: "Old Zhao, there are at least hundreds of eunuchs in your alchemy room, right?" Can't find any spare people to do alchemy? Could it be that they are all a bunch of wine bags and rice barrels? ”

Chen Xiangbei kept in mind the palace rules of the Huaqing Palace, not to mention that now he and Concubine Li Guifei are a community of destiny, who will protect his women if he doesn't protect them?

"Who do you say is a sake bag rice bag?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lao slapped the table fiercely.

"Why is Old Zhao so angry, I'm just a metaphor."

Seeing that Zhao Lao ate his own radical method, the corners of Chen Xiangbei's mouth moved slightly: "I'm thinking about Zhao Lao, the alchemy room is an important place in the imperial city, maybe there will be an inexperienced eunuch one day, and the operation error caused a big disaster during the alchemy, and Zhao Lao can carry this pot?" ”

"Our family will teach our own people, and we don't need you to be reminded by a little steward eunuch!"

Old Zhao's gaze suddenly became gloomy: "Besides, do you know how to do alchemy?" Wouldn't you be here to tell you what to do? ”

Chen Xiangbei was waiting for this sentence, and said disdainfully: "Coincidentally, although I don't know how to refine high-grade pills, these ordinary-level pills are still handy, but unlike the eunuchs in your alchemy room, you have to rack your brains to practice a refinement pill." ”

Zhao Lao's pupils shrank, obviously not believing what Chen Xiangbei said, and sneered coldly: "Are the eunuchs of Huaqing Palace so good?" If you really know how to make alchemy, our family will cut off your head and use it as a chair for you to sit on. ”

Chen Xiangbei sneered and said: "Old Zhao, this is unacceptable, you are the head of the alchemy room, if you lose your head, who will do alchemy for Your Majesty in the future?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiangbei moved to the pill materials he had taken earlier, and picked up the list of pills on it: "It's better like this, I'll make a bet with you,

If I can refine all the pills above, and in the future, if the Huaqing Palace needs additional alchemy, you only need to provide me with a furnace, I am self-sufficient, and I don't need to waste your manpower, how about it? ”

Zhao Lao had taken a cursory look at this list of pills before, and there were about five or six kinds of pills needed on it, although they were all ordinary pills, but if he wanted to master such a cumbersome refining method, he couldn't find a few in the entire alchemy room.

Just rely on the eunuch of Huaqing Palace in front of you?

It's a joke!

"What if you can't refine it?" Zhao Lao Sensen said with a smile.

"Then I am willing to be a cow and a horse in the alchemy room, Zhao Lao pointed out that I will not go to the west until Zhao Lao is angry!"

Chen Xiangbei also pressed the bet.

Zhao Lao's eyes were cold, and he said, "It's not enough, our family still needs an arm from you, do you dare?" ”

The corners of Zhao Lao's mouth showed a sinister smile.

He was angry, wishing that this guy was a subordinate of the alchemy room, and let him do the most dangerous work, and he would definitely find a way to play him to death.

Moreover, Chen Xiangbei's bet is also within the scope of acceptance, even if he can really refine the Dan, what if he can provide a furnace?

Something that doesn't hurt.

Once this guy is just talking about it, then he has to leave an arm, which has already vented the hatred in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire gamble.

Chen Xiangbei secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, he actually wanted his own arm?

How can I help Li Guifei press her shoulder after she has no arm?

So he said: "Old Zhao, I can only use your Dan furnace if I win, but if I lose, not only will I have to be a slave here, but I will also have to pay an extra arm, which doesn't seem fair?" ”

Zhao Lao pointed to the shelves full of pills on the wall.

"If you win, not only can you use the furnace in the alchemy room, but you can take as many pills as you can with both hands."

"But these are all pills for the Imperial City, Old Zhao, isn't that good?" Chen Xiangbei hesitated slightly.

Chen Xiangbei's words made Zhao Lao have an illusion, he mistakenly thought that Chen Xiangbei was looking for the bottom of the stairs, there was nothing in his stomach at all, and he couldn't refine any elixir.

"If you really have the ability to take it, all the lost pills will be made up by our family."

"A word is a certainty"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiangbei immediately agreed.

Zhao Lao was slightly stunned, as if he sensed that something was wrong.

But the gamble was settled, and he was convinced that he had a chance to win, so he waited for this guy to cut off his arm.
