Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

After leaving the Cen Mansion, Li Ke was not in a hurry to go back. He wanted to walk around Chang'an City and see the ancient city life.Xiao Baozi followed him closely, for fear that he might make mistakes.

"A Bao, where shall we go for a stroll next?" Li Ke asked Xiao Baozi as if nothing happened, without the slightest caution and worry in Cen's mansion.

Xiao Baozi reminded: "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace. If the empress finds out, I will be finished."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Ke said bluntly: "Isn't there still the king? If the king doesn't tell you, if you don't tell me, how would the mother and concubine know? Aren't you familiar with Chang'an City? Tell me, where should we go?" Shopping?" After speaking, he ignored Xiao Baozi and walked ahead alone.

Xiao Baozi looked at the back of Li Ke who was about to disappear, stomped his feet, followed up helplessly, and said, "Your Highness, it's almost noon, why don't we go eat something first, I know how many places are there in Chang'an West City?" The food in this restaurant is pretty good.”

Li Ke was very satisfied with Xiao Baozi's cooperation, patted him on the shoulder and said, "A Bao, that's right, you have a future, work hard, this king is optimistic about you."

Little Baozi was confused by Li Ke's nonsensical words for a long time, and didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and asked in confusion, "What do you like about me?" , was about to plead guilty to him, but found that Li Ke was far away from him, so he hurriedly followed.

The two of them just walked one after the other, walking unhurriedly. The West Market is indeed the most prosperous area in Chang'an. When Li Ke came in the morning, he had something on his mind, so he didn't appreciate the grand occasion of the West Market.Now, the things he should do have been solved, and he feels much more relaxed.Therefore, I carefully looked at the grand occasion of the West Market.

But the streets are wide and wide, people come and go, teahouses, shops, taverns, restaurants, workshops are all over the streets, although there is no grandeur of modern architectural decoration, the antique style has its own restrained elegance and luxury.On the street, the hustle and bustle of people seems to converge into an "ocean" full of people. Some are sitting in sedan chairs, some are riding horses, some are carrying burdens, some are carrying baskets, some are wearing knives, and some are carrying guns.People of all colors flowed through into a busy scene.The open space on both sides of the street is full of small vendors, some selling fruits, some selling vegetables, some buying daily necessities, some selling Dieda plaster, some sharpening scissors, sharpening kitchen knives, and fortune tellers.The yelling was endless.

Not long after, I came to a relatively famous restaurant in the West Market that Xiao Baozi mentioned---Wankeju.The restaurant has two floors, a large facade, and a red banner on each side, with a couplet written on it: the aroma of the wine wins guests from all over the world, and the dishes are enough to keep a heart.

There were a lot of diners in the building, and when Li Ke and Xiao Baozi came, there was no private room, so they had to choose a table near the window on the second floor.Li Ke sat down and saw Xiao Baozi standing behind him, feeling very awkward, so he said, "Sit down, it's not easy to come out, let's have a good meal today."

Xiao Baozi hesitated again and again, but respectfully sat on the two-thirds of the chair opposite Li Ke.

When Li Ke saw Xiao Baozi's actions, he didn't say much. He knew that since ancient times, there was an orderly hierarchy. Even in an open dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between master and servant was still very clear.

At this time, the shop waiter came over and asked Li Ke attentively, "I don't know what the guest officer wants?"

"What's the best dish in your store?" Li Ke asked.

"Of course it's the overlord's hoof flower." The waiter in the shop said proudly: "Even the royal chef in the palace can't compare to it."

When Xiao Baozi heard that the shop waiter exaggerated the dishes in his shop, he immediately retorted: "Your shop is too courageous, dare to compare with the royal chef in the palace?"

The shop waiter was not far behind, and said: "There is nothing incomparable. Good cooking is good cooking. Is it possible that you came out of the palace. Have you ever tasted the dishes made by the imperial chef? Hmph!"

Xiao Baozi still wanted to refute, but Li Ke interrupted him and said, "Then bring me the best dishes in your shop."

Hearing Li Ke's words, the waiter in the shop knew that he was a rich owner, so he stopped arguing with Xiao Baozi and said, "Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, the food and drink will be served soon." After finishing speaking, he left.

Xiao Baozi saw the shop waiter leaving, and muttered in a low voice: "How dare you compare with the royal chef in the palace, I just came out of the palace."

Li Ke felt that Xiao Baozi's behavior was quite funny, so he ignored her and carefully admired the scenery outside the window.

Looking down from the second floor, the prosperity of the West Market is another scene.

Not long after, the food and wine were served. Seeing the table full of food, Li Ke moved his index finger and began to eat.

The fact is just like what the shop waiter said, although the dishes in the shop are not as good as the chef's, they still have their own unique features.Li Ke ate with relish.Xiao Baozi was not as restrained as before, and he was also very happy to eat.

At this moment, an old man and a girl came up from the first floor, the old man was holding a musical instrument, and the girl was snuggling beside the old man.

The two came to the middle of the second floor, and the old man saluted everyone present: "Today, the old man and the young girl are living on the streets, and I will present a little song to all the guests. I hope you will join us." The melody flew out from the old man's instrument.The girl began to sing along with the rhythm of the music.

Li Ke didn't expect to meet a legendary singer here, and suddenly felt fresh. Listening carefully, he seemed to feel the mood full of resentment in the music.

Gradually entered the world of music.

When Li Ke was listening to the song with all his attention, he suddenly heard a slender voice shouting: "What kind of broken song is it singing? It's so ugly, change it."

The music stopped abruptly, and the entire second floor was completely silent when it was shaken by the sudden sound.

Li Ke looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw a burly but slightly wretched-looking man coming up from the first floor with a group of arrogant subordinates.It was a man with a gloomy face beside him who shouted.

The big man went up to the second floor, and after sweeping around the crowd from the corner of his eye, he fixed his eyes on the woman who sang the song.

The woman is not pretty, but because of her lovely and pitiful demeanor, people can't help but feel an urge to protect her.

The shop waiter came back to his senses at this time, and ran to the big man carefully and said: "Mr. Liu, I have reserved a private room for you, please come inside."

As soon as Li Ke heard that there was an elegant room from the waiter in the shop, but told himself that there was no more, he felt uneasy, and thought to himself, who is this so-called Mr. Liu?Looking at the waiter's expression, he seemed to be very afraid of him.

Mr. Liu obviously didn't buy into the waiter's account, he looked carefully at the girl in front of him, and a lewd look slowly appeared on his face.

Seeing Mr. Liu's expression, the gloomy man beside him knew what he was thinking, stepped forward, and said to the old man as if ordering: "Old man, our Mr. Liu wants to hear this girl sing. Are you willing to pay me a visit to the Liu residence?"

The old man glanced at Mr. Liu's naughty smiling face, then at the girl snuggling beside him, and said bluntly: "Guest officer, old man, let the little girl sing a song for the guest officer. As for going to your house, old man Humble status, dare not bother."

When Mr. Liu heard this, his lecherous face turned purple, and he was furious: "Old man, you are shameless, do you still want to hang out in Chang'an City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people behind him started booing again, and the frightened old man and girl shivered.

Seeing Mr. Liu's arrogance, Li Ke slapped the table and said, "This is Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. If you, a commoner, dare to be so arrogant and oppress the common people, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"

Mr. Liu was obviously shocked by Li Ke's words, he hesitated when he saw Li Ke who was dressed luxuriously in front of him.

At this time, the gloomy-faced man beside him whispered in Mr. Liu's ear: "Master, this kid seems to be well-dressed, but as far as I know, there is no such a number one person in Chang'an City. He is probably a foreigner." The son of a rich family."

After Mr. Liu heard this, his tone became wild, and he said: "Boy, which onion or garlic are you, dare to take care of the uncle's business, don't you want to live?"

When Xiao Baozi heard that Mr. Liu insulted Li Ke so much, before Li Ke could speak, he said first: "Bastard, you are blind, look carefully, this is His Royal Highness Changsha County King."

"The King of Changsha?" Mr. Liu and the people around him laughed loudly, "It's just him? Or the King of Changsha? What about me? Am I the Overlord of Western Chu?"

Li Ke ignored their teasing, stared at Mr. Liu and said sternly: "Today, let's leave it at that, you can go now. If I meet you again next time, it won't be so easy to talk to."

Mr. Liu was a little panicked by Li Ke's sharp eyes. He has been hanging out in Chang'an City all year round, and he has never seen any kind of person.However, seeing the eyes of the young man in front of him today, the fierce eyes like a beast, and his aloof, arrogant demeanor, made him suddenly feel his humbleness and insignificance.Suddenly, an inexplicable fear slowly rose in his heart. He began to be afraid of Li Ke and dared not look at him. Gradually, he felt that his heart was about to be overwhelmed by the invisible pressure of the other party.

Hearing Li Ke's words, the gloomy man behind him said with disdain: "Boy, you are looking for death, how dare you do this..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Liu interrupted him suddenly: "Enough." Then, he glanced at the woman next to the old man and said, "You two are lucky today, hmph, let's go."

The gloomy man next to him saw that Mr. Liu wanted to leave, and immediately said, "Master, you, you, then this woman."

"Pa" Mr. Liu slapped the gloomy man's face, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, let's go!" Then, he turned around and went downstairs. The younger brothers around him didn't think that they would not take anyone seriously The boss was so frightened by a kid like this. Although he was unwilling, he still walked away in a desperate manner.

Seeing that Mr. Liu was scared away by Li Ke, the old man hurriedly took the girl's hand and came to
