Chapter 1288: Prime Minister Zhang Lu
Chen Qiyu led the sailors to the vast sea, searching for all the islands in the entire Luzon sea. The excuse used was to track down the pirates who hijacked the warship, but in fact it was to track down the Sun and Moon Cult.
At this moment, Chen Qiyue didn't know anything about the Sun Moon Sect, and he started to check from scratch, and he was aimless, so he could only say that he was looking for it by chance. He himself did not have any expectations for this time to go to sea, and he had the right to go to sea to breathe and eliminate the boredom in his heart during this time.
And Chen Jisheng in the capital is not as casual as Chen Qiyue, he has been walking around the capital of Luzon for the past two days. Visit Luzon officials in the hope of getting some useful information out of their mouths. But Chen Jisheng was very disappointed in the end, and if he continued to search aimlessly, he didn't know when and when he could make a breakthrough in the matter of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Chen Jisheng's own side was not going well, and even the secret guards failed to find useful information. Chen Jisheng was very distressed, walking in the bustling crowd, he seemed careless. He was flanked by several personal guards, with vigilant expressions, gripping the handle of the knife in one hand, ready to make a move at any moment.
Being in a foreign country, the destiny of these guards is to protect Chen Jisheng, the master. Therefore, they must always be sober and vigilant to prevent any accidents.
And Chen Jisheng, as the master, is obviously very relieved of the guards beside him, and completely puts his safety in their hands. That's why he can be so careless on this noisy street!
The crowd of people moving slowly on the street suddenly began to stir, and the crowd on the street quickly moved closer to both sides. Disturbed, Chen Jisheng, who came back to his senses, looked up and saw a soldier in armor cleaning the street in front of him.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way......" A carriage moved slowly amidst the soldiers' shouts.
The lantern hanging on the carriage was printed with big characters, and when Chen Jisheng saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pulled one of the guards right over and muttered in his ear.
The guard nodded, saluted with his fists, and then raised his feet and ran quickly towards the carriage. The arrival of the guards quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers who were cleaning the streets, and without saying a word, a dozen men surrounded the guards with swords and swords. After some conversation between the two sides, the guard hurriedly came back and said to Chen Jisheng: "Dashuai, that Zhang Lu invited you to get into the carriage to talk." ”
Chen Jisheng nodded with a smile, took a step and walked over, those soldiers no longer had any obstruction, just surrounded Chen Jisheng and all ten of them. On the surface, it is to protect them, but in fact it is to keep an eye on them.
Chen Jisheng entered the carriage smoothly, and in the wide carriage, Zhang Lu greeted the arriving Chen Jisheng with a smile. I saw that after he hugged his fists and invited Chen Jisheng to sit down, he opened his mouth and said: "Chen Dashuai has time to wander around this street today." ”
Zhang Lu said this very directly, and after Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment, he responded with a smile: "What Lord Zhang said, Ben Shuai has been idle recently, and it is not a problem to be bored at home all the time. That's why I thought of coming out to relax, but I met Mr. Zhang here, so I had the idea of catching up with adults! ”
Zhang Lu smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "If Chen Dashuai doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the house as a guest together?" ”
This remark hit Chen Jisheng's heart, and he immediately agreed with a smile. The carriage then fell silent, and Chen Jisheng did not show his true intentions, both of them were polite on the surface, but in fact, they had their own calculations in their hearts.
Zhang's Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, and although the carriage walks very slowly, it takes less than half an hour to reach Zhang's Mansion!
As the prime minister of Luzon, this mansion is naturally not bad, as soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, there were people who flocked up and waited for Zhang Lu to get off the carriage. Looking at such a pomp, Chen Jisheng was very disdainful, and the two subordinates came over and wanted to help Chen Jisheng, but he was directly stopped with a vicious look.
Zhang Lu had already arrived at the door of the mansion at this moment, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Jisheng's movements, but he didn't say anything about it. Just smiled and said, "Chen Shuai, please!" ”
Chen Jisheng didn't say anything polite to Zhang Lu, and after returning the salute with his fists, he strode into the mansion, Zhang's mansion was indeed prosperous, and the exquisite decorations were no worse than those in the palace. Especially those subordinates who can be seen everywhere, the clothes and materials worn on their bodies are very good, and in this era of war and chaos, the treatment of subordinates is enough to prove the strength of the master.
Accompanied by the housekeeper, Zhang Lu walked through the garden in the front yard and invited Chen Jisheng to sit down in the main hall. The subordinate then held the fragrant tea, and Zhang Lu entered the topic and asked: "Chen Dashuai has always had a lot of things, and this time he definitely didn't come just to catch up with the official." If Chen Dashuai has anything, he can't help but say it directly. ”
Such a refreshing style is also Chen Jisheng's favorite, he laughed twice, and then said: "It's not a secret, Ben Shuai really came here this time to ask for something, and I hope that Lord Zhang can make it convenient for one or two." ”
Zhang Lu nodded, as if he had expected Chen Jisheng to ask for something for him, and he smiled and motioned for Chen Jisheng to continue.
Chen Jisheng thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Master Zhang has a lot of opportunities, and he is even more familiar with the big and small things in the Luzon Dynasty. Recently, Chen was a little confused in his heart, and he hoped that Master Zhang could help solve it. ”
Zhang Lu nodded and said, "Please speak!" ”
Chen Jisheng then said: "Recently, the Dongjiang Army Navy Naval Division was robbed, presumably Master Zhang also knows. Chen also visited many ministers of the DPRK and China for this reason, but found nothing, and later someone recommended me to ask Mr. Zhang for advice, I wonder if Mr. Zhang can provide clues? ”
After hearing this, Zhang Lu frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Chen Dashuai originally came for this matter, and the old man has always only been in the court, but as for the affairs at sea, he knows very little. If Chen Dashuai came for this, the old man could only disappoint Chen Dashuai. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly explained that he didn't know anything, and Chen Jisheng immediately became dissatisfied when he said this. Originally, he still had a good impression of the gentle Zhang Lu, but he began to hold a grudge. In this foreign country, Chen Jisheng has always had his own principles, either friends or enemies.
And Zhang Lu's remarks just now really made Chen Jisheng feel cold, and he originally wanted to finally inquire about the matter of the Sun Moon Sect by the way. This has proved that there is no need to say more, so Chen Jisheng even got up and hugged his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, Chen will not bother, farewell!" ”
After Chen Jisheng finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Lu to reply, he turned around and strode away. Zhang Lu watched him leave in a hurry, and did not get up to keep or send him off.
