Chapter 122: Duke Wei was so angry that he had a stroke
For Li Jing, this was the only time he thought about taking on a disciple.
Moreover, he didn't think Zhao Chen would reject him.
What is Li Jing's current status?
That was the illustrious Duke Wei. .??.
In the military circles of the Tang Dynasty, no general dared to say no to Li Jing.
Which one of the prince and the king of Wei is not bent on currying favor with him?
But Li Jing never looked at them.
Even His Majesty the Emperor wanted to curry favor with him, Li Jing.
Now that he has made it clear that he wants to accept Zhao Chen as his disciple, Zhao Chen should cry bitterly and be grateful for his kindness!
only……
Zhao Chen gently rubbed his calf, secretly thinking that Li Ruoshuang was too vigorous.
This kick almost made him scream.
Zhao Chen naturally understood what Li Jing meant, and also understood that Li Ruoshuang was doing it for his own good.
However, Zhao Chen did not want to follow Li Jing to suffer in the army.
Moreover, as he is now, following Li Jing to the army is no different from seeking death.
Wouldn't it be nice to just be his tavernkeeper?
"Thank you General Li for your kindness. It's just that Zhao Chen is loose by nature and doesn't like to be restrained. It is not Zhao Chen's wish to join the army..."
"Zhao Chen!" Li Ruoshuang shouted anxiously.
She really couldn't understand that Zhao Chen actually refused the opportunity that so many people dreamed of.
Li Ruoshuang was a little unhappy.
"General Li, I'm sorry!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang's frown, but still said to Li Jing.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. This kind of thing is what you want. If you don't have any ideas, that's normal."
"That's it for today. I have some things to do in my house, so I'll leave first!" Li Jing felt a little disappointed and a little surprised.
Zhao Chen rejected his invitation, which really surprised Li Jing.
But Zhao
Since Chen was unwilling, Li Jing didn't insist on it, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Chen.
"General Li, let's go slowly!" Zhao Chen stood up and said goodbye to Li Jing.
"Hmph!" Just as he was about to talk to Li Ruoshuang, he heard Li Ruoshuang snort without looking at Zhao Chen.
He turned around and left, glanced at the pony on the street, hesitated for a moment, and moved the pony back.
Think about it, how can Zhao Chen, with his body like this, take good care of the foal?
Zhao Chen stood at the door of the tavern, watching Li Ruoshuang lead the horse away angrily, and shook his head helplessly.
…
"Girl, why are you still angry?" Li Jing asked Li Ruoshuang with a smile on the way.
"How can I not be angry? My father even expressed his intention to accept a disciple, but Zhao Chen actually refused."
"How many people in this world want to be my father's disciples?"
"Even the prince, King Wei, if his father says he wants to accept them as his disciples, he will rush to welcome them."
"Zhao Chen, I don't even know what to say about him!" Li Ruoshuang turned her head away angrily and stared into Xiao Maju's eyes.
The little pony's big eyes flickered, who knew what Li Ruoshuang was talking about!
"Then are you angry that he rejected his father and made his father embarrassed? Or do you think it's a pity that Zhao Chen missed an opportunity to jump over the dragon's gate?" Li Jing said to Li Ruoshuang with a smile.
Li Ruoshuang was stunned, but didn't know how to speak.
In fact, for Li Ruoshuang, it is both.
How proud his father Li Jing was, there had never been anyone who could make him accept a disciple.
Zhao Chen is the only one.
But even so, Zhao Chen still refused.
Zhao Chen threw away the opportunity that others only dreamed of getting.
"Girl, your father knows your thoughts. This Zhao Chen is definitely not a thing in the pool. If he refuses his father's invitation today, others will invite him in the future."
"This man is destined to stir up trouble in our Tang Dynasty."
"It's just that you are so close to him, and father can't tell whether it's good or bad!" Li Jing looked at Li Ruoshuang and said slowly.
"What did the father say? My daughter is just a good friend with him. She is just angry when she sees him being so ungrateful!"
"There's no such thing as being too close to him, no!" A trace of panic flashed across Li Ruoshuang's face, and she turned to look aside.
Li Jing didn't understand the thoughts of the girl's family, but he still had a good idea of his daughter's thoughts.
Seeing Li Ruoshuang looking like this, Li Jing also sighed in his heart.
"Why doesn't father speak?"
"My father just said that my daughter is good or bad with him, but what's the reason?" Seeing that Li Jing didn't speak, Li Ruoshuang couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Li Ruoshuang thought to herself that both the emperor and the queen valued Zhao Chen so much.
Treating Zhao Chen like his own son, who dares to do anything to him?
He was getting close to him, and with the care of his father, Duke Wei, no one in Chang'an City, or even the entire Tang Dynasty, dared to touch Zhao Chen.
"The royal family battle is not as simple as you think!" Li Jing sighed.
Li Ruoshuang told him before that the emperor often went to the tavern to talk to Zhao Chen.
Li Jing was slightly worried.
Zhao Chen is so capable, the prince and the king of Wei will not be tempted?
If the two of them fight, will Zhao Chen be implicated?
Royal battles are the bloodiest.
Even the emperor sometimes has no choice but to do so.
"Their fight is theirs. If anyone dares to bully Zhao Chen, he must get through me first!" Li Ruoshuang said in a solemn voice.
Li Jing looked at Li Ruoshuang and just shook his head.
He didn't tell Li Ruoshuang to stay away from Zhao Chen.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
Li Jing is old and can't control that much anymore.
Now, he just wants to step down from his high position safely and preserve his inheritance.
To this end, Li Jing thought of a wonderful method.
Later that day, news came out that Li Jing had just returned to the house and accidentally fell.
When a person is old, he cannot withstand wrestling.
At that time, news spread that Li Jing had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. His mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and he could not even get off the ground.
…
"Zhao Chen, so-and-so is here again today!" Not long after Li Jing left, Zhao Chen saw Old Li Tou and Old Wei coming over again.
In this nearly month, the saltpeter business has made a lot of money.
The daily output of saltpeter is several thousand kilograms. Apart from the necessary expenses, you can earn dozens of pounds every day.
This money is naturally nothing to an imperial businessman like Lao Li Tou.
But for Zhao Chen, it is not a small amount of money.
Today is the day for them to share the profits from the saltpeter.
"Well, let's have a cup of tea first!" Zhao Chen smiled and poured a cup of tea with the two of them.
This strange behavior immediately surprised Li Shimin.
Every time he came here before, Zhao Chen didn't even bother to ask him to sit down, let alone pour him tea.
It made Li Shimin feel like he was suffering every time he came over.
"Zhao Chen, when we came here just now, we heard that Duke Li Jing of Wei State suffered a stroke and was paralyzed just after returning home."
"And just in time, he just left you. Could it be that you made him so angry?" Li Shimin drank a cup of tea and asked Zhao Chen with a smile.
Li Shimin knew that Li Jing was pretending to be dead with him, so he just wanted to know what Li Jing said to Zhao Chen when he came here.
