Mr. Yangui

Chapter 121 Chapter [-] Princess Invitation

Early in the morning, Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun dressed very vigorously, packed Xuantie and old ginseng in exquisite boxes, and asked Fat Xiong to order people to prepare twenty altars of Erguotou, and they were going to send them to Qi Wangfu together.

Zhao Xun looked at the two of them and said with a broken smile, "Like a bridegroom."

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "I would like to wear casual clothes, but I can't be rude...By the way, are you going to forge today?"

Zhao Xun said: "Last night, I sent Fat Bear to contact a top blacksmith. That is not a simple role. It costs 200 taels to make a sword. No wonder you always say that you are poor and rich in martial arts. How can ordinary people spend it?" Get up."

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "He came here to look at the materials, how can ordinary materials cost so much money?"

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "He still doesn't make ordinary materials, and he says his skills are wasted. It's weird."

Li Wuchang murmured: "Are these blacksmiths so annoying? It seems that I shouldn't study medicine, I should learn blacksmithing."

Everyone laughed.

Fat Xiong at the side took the opportunity to flatter: "Fourth Young Master's medical skills can help the world, and he is admired by thousands of people. How can a blacksmith be comparable."

Li Wuchang laughed loudly, and said: "Well, you fat bear, you've been quite clever recently."

Fat Bear even said he didn't dare.

Li Wuchang said solemnly again: "Yesterday's incident was a special situation. In the future, if we encounter such incidents, we must report first. If the three of us are away, we will report to shopkeeper Chen."

Fat Xiong said yes, to be honest, he still has lingering fears about what happened yesterday, and he also knows that Li Wuchang is just a little bastard in the Li family. It's all done, which makes him more sure that he's following the right person.

At this time, Fat Xiong's younger brother had already loaded the Erguotou with twenty altars of top quality Erguotou onto the carriage.

Fat Xiong asked for instructions: "Fourth Young Master, the things are ready, you see, shall we go to Prince Qi's Mansion right now?"

Li Wuchang nodded, and walked forward first.

Prince Qi's Mansion is still some distance away from the East City. It stands to reason that Li Wuchang should ride a horse, which is more convenient, but Li Wuchang chose to walk.

He had ridden a horse before, and after a short ride, his inner thighs ached, and he was not used to it.

He also felt uncomfortable being trapped in a small space in a carriage, so he decided to walk instead.

……

Qi Wangfu.

Qi Wang Lu Yuanzhi once again welcomed three young talents, old acquaintances, He Yi, the boss of the He family, Liu Qizheng, the second youngest of the Liu family, and Yan Zhong, the Yan family who just broke through the Martial Dao Pavilion.

He Yi, Liu Qizheng, and Yan Zhong all admired Lu Ting very much. This was something that the upper echelons of Chang'an City knew. The three often fought openly and secretly, and disliked each other.

I don't know why they came to the door together today.

The family background, martial arts, and character of the three of them are all considered excellent.

He Yi is the eldest son of He Qianqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Shangshu is very powerful, but the He family has a weak foundation. Compared with the Lin family, Li family, Liu family, Han family and other established families, there is still a big gap.

Liu Qizheng's father is the great general Liu Jingming, who is currently working in Yangzhou as a partner with Tang Feihu, the governor of Yangzhou. He has won His Majesty's trust in dealing with Japanese pirates. Liu Qizheng has followed his father and likes the art of war. Although he is a legitimate son, he is not the eldest son. He can't inherit his father's title, but Liu Jingming has made great contributions over the years, so it shouldn't be a problem to seek a modest title for his second son, so Liu Qizheng's future is still bright.

Yan Zhong's Lao Tzu is Yan Gu, Zhengqing of Taichang Temple, who is in charge of sacrificial affairs. Although his power is not as powerful as the yamen of Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple, it is still a very respectable position.

Lu Yuanzhi had a good impression of these three people, but he always felt that they were more or less petty, and often thought of various small ideas to please himself or his daughter.

"Several virtuous nephews came together today, what's the matter?" Lu Yuanzhi took a sip of tea and casually asked why they came.

Lu Ting didn't hang out with Guo Yunling and Lin Qin today, and was pulled by Lu Yuanzhi to sit for a while, and she also looked at them curiously.

Yan Zhong coughed lightly, and said: "My lord, there is a plan to go on an outing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain outside the city the day after tomorrow. It was organized by His Royal Highness and invited many sons and brothers. The boy and others want to invite the princess to have fun together. Go out for a walk. Relax or something."

Lu Ting wondered, "Second Highness? Why didn't he invite me?"

She had a good impression of Lu Xuandong's cousin, and felt that he was very kind and cared about her.

Yan Zhong smiled awkwardly, and said, "It was the Second Highness who asked me to invite the princess, Miss Lin and Miss Guo will also go."

Lu Xuandong was very optimistic about Yan Zhong, and knew that Yan Zhong admired Lu Ting very much, so he sent a favor and asked Yan Zhong to go to the Qi Palace to invite him personally.

Who knew that the two boys Liu Qizheng and He Yi knew about it, so they clamored to come together, for fear that Yan Zhong would use some trick to please the princess and thus gain the upper hand.

Lu Ting nodded, muttering in her heart.

This cousin is really... all kinds of favors.

"My lord, Mr. Wuchang of Li's Mansion and Young Hero Jiang Minglun have come here to thank you for your recommendation." The butler came to the living room and reported the situation.

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please hurry up!"

Last time, Li Wuchang prescribed a medicine for Xiaorou. Xiaorou, who had been ill for a long time, recovered after drinking it twice. It was very miraculous. Lu Yuanzhi was thinking about when he would send a post to let Li Wuchang come to his door. Here it is, it's great.

When Yan Zhong and the others saw Lu Yuanzhi's expression, they felt very unnatural in their hearts. Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi had a good impression of that boy Li Wuchang.

How could this be?
Lu Ting snorted coldly, and said, "I was going to settle accounts with this fool Li Er, but I didn't expect him to come to my door. It's just right, let's talk to him about the truth today."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Lu Yuanzhi laughed and said, "Why, did that fool Li Er offend you?"

Lu Ting said fiercely: "Words don't count, Zaiwu... last time agreed to give me a surprise, but it took a long time to come."

She originally wanted to talk about Li Wuchang letting her go in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but at this moment, Yan Zhong and others were here, so she couldn't say clearly, the less people knew about her going to the Martial Arts Pavilion in a male disguise, the more people knew about it. good.

At this time, the butler had already brought Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun in.

Li Wuchang swept the living room and saw so many people, he was taken aback in his heart, he did not show his face, and greeted seriously: "Li Wuchang is meeting King Qi, Princess... I didn't expect Brother Yan, Brother He, Brother Liu to be here, what a coincidence ah."

Jiang Minglun was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Jiang Minglun has seen King Qi, the princess...he has met Young Master Yan, Young Master He, and Second Young Master Liu."

Lu Yuanzhi first chuckled and said, "You two are welcome, please sit down."

Li Wuchang put the box containing old ginseng and black iron on the table, and pulled Jiang Minglun to sit down.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Jiang Minglun and said, "This is Jiang Shaoxia, he really is a good-looking talent."

Lu Yuanzhi still knew about Jiang Minglun's reputation. He knew that his martial arts were very good. Among the young people in Chang'an, he was second only to the Fifth Young Master of Chang'an and Han Dade.

Jiang Minglun immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Ming Lun thanked the lord for his compliment, and I dare not be a good-looking person. This time, Ming Lun made a special trip to thank the lord with Mr. Wuchang."

Lu Yuanzhi was baffled.

It is reasonable for Li Wuchang to come to thank him, why did Jiang Minglun come to thank him.

Seeing this, Jiang Minglun explained: "Minglun was lucky enough to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion this time, and with the help of Mr. Wuchang, he got a good knife. He learned that Mr. Wuchang was recommended by the prince, so..."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded.

So that's the case, I can't help but give Jiang Minglun a high look in my heart.

Li Wuchang coughed lightly, and said: "My lord, Wuchang has gained a lot in Martial Arts Pavilion this time, I specially brought some things to thank my lord, I hope my lord will not be disgusted."

Lu Ting glanced at the two wooden boxes, and said, "Those two boxes? What are they?"

Li Wuchang first opened the old ginseng's box, picked it up, and said: "This is the same prize Wuchang and Brother Minglun got when they broke into the materials room. Wuchang is humble and has nothing good to offer, so I give this prize to the prince. It can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Wuchang knows that the palace does not lack this, I just hope that the prince will accept this thing because of Wuchang's sincerity."

Lu Yuanzhi picked up the wooden box, inspected it, and said with a laugh: "The best old ginseng is three points better than the tributes. If you have a heart for impermanence, I will accept this thing."

Then he handed the wooden box to the housekeeper, and asked Li Wuchang: "What is the other thing, it's also from Martial Arts Pavilion?"

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "The other thing was specially given to Princess Ting. Last time... the last time Impermanence promised Princess Ting one thing, because of negligence and did not fulfill it, I am here today to make amends."

Then he opened the wooden box and said: "Wuchang knows that the princess will occasionally wield swords and swords, so I took a piece of ancient black iron from the Martial Arts Pavilion and gave it to the princess to make weapons. Forgive impermanence for inadvertent mistakes.”

As soon as the ancient Xuantie uttered the words, everyone was stunned, even Lu Yuanzhi was in disbelief.

This kid Li Wuchang was able to bring out the ancient black iron from the Martial Dao Pavilion?
How did he do that?
Lu Ting picked up the box, looked at Li Wuchang with a smile, and asked, "You gave it to me?"

Li Wuchang cupped his hands and said: "The last time I broke my promise, I definitely didn't do it on purpose. I heard that the princess wanted a good sword, so I gave it to the princess. If the princess likes it, then forget it. mind."

Lu Ting nodded vigorously and said, "I like it very much."

Then he presented the treasure to Lu Yuanzhi, and said: "Father, look...you dare not underestimate me now, I must find the best blacksmith to help me forge the most beautiful sword."

The Chilong Zhenqi of the Lu family is very domineering, and the weapons made of ancient black iron are just right.

Looking at the beautiful Lu Ting, Yan Zhong and the other three felt completely uncomfortable. They had never seen such a sweet smile on Lu Ting's face.

This Li Wuchang spent a lot of money just to flatter him. The three of them asked themselves, if they had a piece of black iron, they would definitely not be willing to give it away.

Li Wu saw that Lu Ting liked it very much, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lu Ting would hold onto the Wudao Pavilion to release the pigeons, and asked him to tell about his cousin and cousin.

If that's the case, where would Li Wuchang find so many talented cousins?

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Good boy, you are not simple. You just made such a baby without making a sound."

Li Wuchang hurriedly said modestly: "The boy only knows a little bit of medical skills, and my brother Ming Lun is responsible for the hands-on work. This time to get this piece of iron, Ming Lun is the main force, and I am in charge of doing chores."

Lu Yuanzhi refused to believe it, and said: "You kid, you are always so cunning, but if you don't want to say it, the king will not force it. Then tell me, if you have any requirements, the king will definitely agree to you, and you will not It will take advantage of you, a junior."

Fortunately, the old ginseng said that although it was expensive, there was no shortage of Lu Yuanzhi.

In the case of ancient black iron, it is really not something that can be bought with money.

Li Wuchang hastily said: "My lord, don't say that, this time I'm just here to thank my lord, and I'm here to make amends to the princess, how dare I make any demands."

After a pause, he continued: "If the lord and princess have nothing else to tell Wuchang, then Wuchang will leave now, and won't disturb everyone talking about business."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Jiang Minglun.

Jiang Minglun also got up to speak.

Lu Yuanzhi waved his hand, pretending to be angry and said, "Hey, Wuchang is blaming this king for being unfriendly...Come on, go down and prepare the food and drink. Today, this king will have a good drink with Wuchang Jiang Shaoxia and the three virtuous nephews, Ting Son, you are not allowed to run later."

Li Wu saw that Lu Yuanzhi had talked to this point, so he had to stay.

Lu Ting also said: "Yes, yes, anyway, you don't have any errands, why are you in such a hurry to go back."

Li Wuchang smiled bitterly and said: "The princess is saying that I am idle and have nothing to do. It turns out that this is the image of me in the princess' mind."

Lu Ting said solemnly: "No, you are not idle and doing nothing, you are a dude who likes running dogs and cockfights and bullying good people."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Wuchang couldn't laugh or cry.

Lu Ting remembered something and asked, "By the way, are you free the day after tomorrow? Let's go for an outing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain? The Second Highness organized it. I heard that many young masters and ladies were invited."

Lu Xuandong invites the young master and the ladies to go on an outing?
That kid probably wants to play something about exchanging feelings.

Li Wuchang coughed lightly, and said: "I, Li Wuchang, are just a rough person, I won't go to that kind of elegant occasion, I'm afraid it will spoil the atmosphere, not to mention I'm busy with mundane affairs, I'm afraid I won't be free. "

He really didn't want to go.

One is that they don't want to deal with Lu Xuandong, and the other is that this kind of outing is really boring.

About two years ago, he and Han Dazhi also participated in a similar outing, which was completely boring.

It's better to stay at home and practice hard.

Although Li Lingwu didn't say anything about the suppression of bandits, Li Wuchang wanted to be on the safe side. If the imperial court really gave Li Wuchang the title of captain of the suppression of bandits and asked him to go and suppress the bandits, it would be no joke.

Better martial arts is of course an extra layer of insurance, so whenever you have free time, of course you should hurry up and practice martial arts, as for outings, forget it.

Lu Yuanzhi interrupted and said: "This is impermanence and you are wrong. Young people should go out for a walk more, have a look, and relax by the way, and can't stay in the city all the time... Three virtuous nephews, what do you think? ah."

Yan Zhong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, brother Wuchang, let's go out and have fun together. His Highness the Second Highness is about to invite you. I guess the invitations have already been sent to Li's residence by now."

Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Li Wuchang say.
