Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

342 - Hit the iron plate

Chapter 44 hit the iron plate
Ma Zhou's work efficiency is very fast. The address of the bank he chose is located in Xingdaofang. The backyard of the courtyard is only 120 steps away from the imperial city wall. This is a relatively safe place in Chang'an. Building the bank here can at least save a lot of money Expenses for security personnel.

Standing on the walls of the imperial city, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire courtyard.Ma Zhou took Chen Ying with the courtyard gate and pointed to Zhuque Street: "The terrain here is open and the transportation is convenient. This is the other courtyard of Yang Xuangan in the previous dynasty. Since the chaos of Yang Xuangan, this place has been abandoned. I have checked it out. Although it looks dilapidated, when this house was built, all the materials were selected with high quality. The most rare thing is that there is a well-repaired underground money bank in this courtyard, and the copper coins alone can pile up tens of millions of dollars..."

Chen Ying thought to himself, Ma Zhou took a fancy to this house, probably because the imperial guards on the imperial city could see what was going on in the house, even if hundreds of millions of money were stored here, no one would dare to loot it blatantly .

Chen Ying followed Ma Zhou into this house. Although this house was only Yang Xuanxian's former courtyard, it occupied an area of ​​more than [-] acres, with five courtyards in front and back.As long as the windows and half of the wall are removed, the seven office rooms facing the street can be transformed into the Yingguan Hall.

The more Chen Ying looked at it, the more he felt strange, and asked in puzzlement: "No matter the terrain or the layout of this house, it is the best choice. It is so convenient to go to court. Is there no one to buy it? How come it has been idle for so long?"

"Oh, this... I also found out clearly!" Ma Zhou said: "This house was given to King Li Yuanji of Qi by His Majesty the Emperor. .”

"Li Yuanji!" Chen Ying tapped his head, he really didn't want to deal with Li Yuanji, besides, this person is not short of money, I'm afraid he really can't buy it with money.

Ma Zhou was very clever, and immediately guessed what Chen Ying was in trouble with.So Ma Zhou asked cautiously: "Duke Ming is worried that His Royal Highness King Qi is unkind!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Although King Qi acts perversely, he listens to Princess Pingyang the most. If Minggong asks Princess Pingyang to make peace with him, His Royal Highness Qi Wang will already sell Minggong's favor. Maybe he will not take any money." .”

When Chen Ying heard about Princess Pingyang, she felt a little guilty.If the incident between him and Li Daozhen hadn't happened, Chen Ying would have liked to find a reason to meet Li Xiuning. However, at this moment, Chen Ying was very afraid of seeing Li Xiuning. clear.

However, although Li Yuan can't see the importance of the bank for the time being, he will see it one day. If he doesn't put the bank where Li Yuan can see it, I'm afraid Li Yuan won't feel at ease.But where is it better than Xingdaofang?

It's better not to alarm Li Xiuning, Chen Yingsi decided after much deliberation to entertain Li Yuanji himself and discuss the purchase of this house.Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to Ma Zhou: "Make an appointment with His Royal Highness King Qi for me. I will treat him to a drink, and the place will be at Hongxiuzhao."

Ma Zhou nodded.

……

As soon as the lanterns came up, Yingying and Yanyan with red sleeves began to walk to the door to greet them.In order to obtain Li Yuanji's nominal house, Chen Ying had no choice but to prepare for bloodletting.Chen Ying not only spent tens of thousands of dollars to book the Tianzihao Hall of Hongxiu Zhao, but also paid a price of [-] yuan to invite Miss Qingqing, one of the top three names in Hongxiu Zhao, to accompany her.

Although Chen Ying didn't often come to Hongxiu to recruit this kind of fireworks, but he had heard of the reputation of Miss Qingqing. It was said that Qingqing was the daughter of an official in the former dynasty.

Chen Ying had just walked into the corridor of the private room on the third floor when he happened to see the door of Xuan Zhi's room on the inner side open from the inside, revealing a familiar face.Chen Ying will never forget this face, it was actually Li Xiaoguang.

Li Xiaoguang's brother Li Xiaoji was captured alive after being defeated by Liu Wuzhou's general Song Jingang in the Battle of Hedong. It was rumored that he was killed by Liu Wuzhou, but no body was found.Li Yuan had no choice but to summon his soul and be buried. He was given the posthumous title of General Zuowei as a posthumous posthumous title.Since Li Xiaoji had no son, the court made Li Daoli, the son of Li Xiaoji's elder brother Li Shao, the king of Dongping, as his heir and named him King Gaoping.Li Xiaoguang, the good-for-nothing younger brother, was also granted the title of Nanchang County Duke by Li Yuan because of his blessing.

When Li Xiaoguang saw Chen Ying, with his current status and status, Chen Ying naturally didn't fear being an idle clan.Seeing that Chen Ying didn't give him a good face, Li Xiaoguang's face turned green with anger.

He naturally knew that he didn't have Li Xiaoji's protection, so he couldn't help Chen Ying, but he couldn't help but feel angry when Chen Ying gave him a face, not to mention that Li Xiaoguang also had a lot of crooked ideas. When he rolled his eyes, he suddenly had an idea, and he stretched out his hand He grabbed the servant woman and shouted sharply: "Who do you think that Chen called to accompany him?"

The servant woman is proficient in human affairs and sophistication. Seeing this scene, how can she not know what's going on.This Nanchang county magistrate must want to be jealous with Chen Ying.Looking at Li Xiaoguang with that cannibalistic gaze.The servant woman timidly said: "Duke Chen invited Miss Qingqing..."

Li Xiaoguang thought to himself, the person who can let Chen Ying treat guests here must have an unusual status.He took out a bead the size of a longan and stuffed it into the hand of the maid: "You will tell them later that Miss Qingqing has guests to accompany her tonight, so I dare not bother them to wait for a long time."

Holding the bead in her hands, the servant woman thought to herself, I will talk to Miss Qingqing later, even if I go to socialize for a while.

Not long after, Li Yuanji arrived.Li Yuanji's ostentation is not small, even if he goes to Hongxiu Zhao to have a drink, there are forty or fifty military guards around him, but these guards are all left in the lobby on the first floor, and only seven or eight armored soldiers follow Li Yuanji into the third floor scholar.

After taking his seat, Li Yuanji looked at Chen Ying carefully, and said with a smile: "General Chen, if you hadn't saved your life at all costs last time, the third sister might not have been spared. Sanhu dare not forget the kindness of saving her life, and Sanhu will pay you back." I didn't have time to thank General Chen, how can I let General Chen spend money, if you want to treat me, I will invite you, don't steal from me..."

Chen Ying sighed secretly, and also raised his thumb. What is a smart person? Li Yuanji is a smart person. An understatement brought back the past. Topics like life-saving grace are too easy to draw us closer The distance between them is too easy to make each other feel good.

It seems that Li Yuanji is familiar with this kind of thing, obviously it's not like he's cheating.Is this really the one recorded in history, the reckless King of Qi Li Yuanji?

Chen Ying suddenly felt absurd. Ever since Chen Ying met Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and now Li Yuanji, he discovered that the three brothers of the Li family all have a kind of ability that makes people not feel the slightest disgust towards them.Perhaps this is because of Empress Dou's good teaching. Anyway, for the soldiers in the army, their brothers have their own different methods of wooing.

After the food and wine were served, Chen Ying and Li Yuanji chatted while eating.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Ying frowned secretly: "Why hasn't Miss Qingqing come?"

A servant woman came nervously and knelt on the ground and said: "I'm really sorry for Duke Chen, Duke Nanchang is also sincere, inviting Miss Qingqing to sit for a while, and Duke Nanchang's face can't be easily refuted..."

"Haha!" As soon as Chen Ying heard this, he thought of Li Xiaoguang's angry gaze just now, and immediately understood that Li Xiaoguang was obstructing it.I'm afraid Li Xiaoguang will miscalculate this time, he will hit the iron plate this time.Chen Ying pretended to be angry, and roared, "Nanchang Gong's face can't be refuted, so can my face be refuted?"
