Chapter 28
Zhao An walked to Zhongli, took a chair and sat down, with a faint smile on his face.
"Brother Zhong, why do you have to do this? It will be no good for us to tear apart at this time." Zhao An said to Zhongli.
"I guess Brother Zhao won't take it to his heart even if he is a small shop?" Zhong Li said with a chuckling.
Zhao An shook his head without saying anything.
Another stalemate here.
However, Zhong Li did not want to have another conflict. His body had not recovered yet, and he was afraid that something would happen again.
"Brother Zhong, forget it today. I'm here, you're going to force it, right?" Zhao An looked at Zhongli with some fun.
"It's not bad." Zhongli shook his head with a wry smile. Lu Yuan and others instantly surrounded Zhao An.
"Brother Zhao, if it were another day, I would definitely give you this face, but today is not possible. I hope Brother Zhao will understand!" Zhongli said solemnly, and then ordered Lu Yuan to say: "Protect Mr. Zhao!"
Zhongli said protecting, but Lu Yuan and others restricted Zhao An.
Several other guards quickly packed up the goods in the shop.
"Brother Zhong, do you have to let me turn against you?" Zhao An's expression turned cold. When he was here, the other party actually regarded him as nothing.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, do you want to be the same as those of Li Zhen and his son?" Zhongli shook his head with a smile.
Zhao An's expression stagnated. What happened last night made him feel a little frightened. Once Zhongli could take the initiative to control that power, who could resist those present?
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhao An no longer insisted. It was just a shop, so it would be okay to give it to the other party.
"I have another thing that I'm curious about. Everyone in the court knows that Brother Zhong's clan has not been able to practice for generations. Why does it seem like Brother Zhong is an exception?"
"I? I can't practice either. I can burst out my power of enlightenment, but relying on the secret treasure given by my father. The world is dangerous. You have to prepare something to defend yourself." Zhongli glanced at Zhao An deeply, and the meaning in his words was self-evident.
Zhao An smiled bitterly: "Why be hypocritical between you and me? What happened last night has nothing to do with me, and I didn't expect that Chen Jin is so ungrateful."
After receiving news last night, Zhao An rushed to the capital's mansion as soon as possible. Chen Jin's actions surprised him, but the situation was already in chaos at that time and he was unable to save it.
Zhongli didn't say much anymore and watched his guards collect the goods from the shop.
Chen Ping stood aside, his face as if dead. He thought Zhao An had come here, and Zhongli didn't dare to treat him anymore, but he didn't expect that Zhongli would not give him any face and still wanted to take away his shop.
Chen San stood in the corner of the door with a dark face. It was him who found Zhao An's letter. Will Zhongli come to take revenge on him in the future?
Soon, the guards emptied the goods in the shop and piled them at the door.
"Brother Zhao, let's leave today!" Zhongli stood up and bowed to say goodbye.
"Brother Zhong, can you tell me how many more do you plan to seize the shop in this city?" Zhao An stared at Zhongli with a deep look.
"Haha, I also paid the beads, how can I be considered a robbery? Thank you for your subordinates, I will let them go home earlier to enjoy their old age." Zhongli replied while walking outside.
"I hope Brother Zhong has a chance to enjoy these!" Zhao An's tone was cold. Today, he lost all his face and in a blink of an eye he lost a shop under his command, and Zhongli still didn't plan to stop.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao for your concern, let's go first!" Zhongli replied and took Lu Yuan and others away.
"Young Master, we are like this..." Lu Yuanxin had concerns. It was indeed not good for the Zhong family to break up like this.
"It's okay, I don't have an official position, you are my guards, I think the prince can tell you clearly." Zhong Li's face was calm.
Lu Yuan suddenly realized that even if the prince knew about it, he would not have had a quarrel with the Zhong family at this time. He would definitely think about waiting for the throne before talking.
"Do we still want to continue?" Lu Yuan asked again next.
"Haha, of course, since I have done it, I will stop doing it." Zhongli smiled and walked towards the south first.
"But now that they are prepared, we will think about doing the same thing, I'm afraid..." Lu Yuan reminded.
Zhongli sighed, but he didn't know that he wanted to win three or four families in one go, but he didn't expect Zhao An to come so quickly.
"It's okay. Since you can't force it, then think of some other solutions." Zhongli waved his hand, "The goods in the silk and satin shop will be sent to the second prince half. Remember to hide!"
Lu Yuan took the order and went back to make arrangements.
Zhongli walked on the street and looked at the crowd coming and going, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Haha, when I was sick, I was very idle every day, but I didn't expect that I was getting better now, but I became busier and busier." Zhongli muttered to himself as a self-deprecating person.
With a hint of expectation and a hint of uneasiness in his heart, Zhongli took a step and continued to walk towards the next shop. Everything is for the better future.
My father placed all his hopes on him, and perhaps the family inherited diseases will be solved by him. In any case, he must persist.
Lu Yuan quickly caught up with him. Seeing Zhongli's face full of sadness, he did not disturb him. The group walked silently.
Soon, several people arrived at the next destination, a blacksmith shop.
Ignoring the greeting of the guy at the door, Lu Yuan pulled him aside, and Zhongli stepped into the shop.
Many people in the shop were busy, and the iron stove was burning, filling the house with scorching air. Soon Zhongli's forehead was sweating slightly.
"What do you need to create, this guest?" A gang in the middle came up to greet the guests enthusiastically, and glared at the client at the door, as if he was blaming him for not entertaining guests in time.
"Haha, the prince is a good method." Zhongli looked at the various iron tools hanging in the shop, and his understanding of the prince became clearer.
Lu Yuan followed Zhongli and agreed: "Yes, the Crown Prince's method is really amazing!"
In this shop, most of the things hanging in conspicuous places are weapons and armor, and these are things that the imperial court strictly prohibits individuals from making.
Of course, with the identity of His Royal Highness, no one will come to trouble this shop, but the purpose of the prince making these things is probably not just to make money.
Seeing Zhongli and others chatting on their own and ignoring themselves, the guy in the middle was a little embarrassed and asked again: "What do you need to build, sir?"
"What can you create?" Zhongli asked with a smile. He became curious about the blacksmith shop. If he could be allowed to belong to his side, it might have been a bit miraculous.
"Hehe, I'm going to tell you that as long as you speak, there is nothing I can't build here!" The guy showed a hint of pride on his face, obviously he was very confident in the shop where he worked.
"Hmph, I want to create a Taoist sword, can you also build it?" Lu Yuan sneered at his words and mocked him.
The guy's face was brilliant and he smiled and said, "Calendar, don't joke with me. No one can create this thing in the entire Ci Kingdom! Only those great countries can create it."
"Hehe, just a joke. Go and get me a sword and I'll see your skills." Zhongli chuckled and ordered.
The guy smiled happily and took the order and left.
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Lu Yuan leaned into Zhongli's ear and asked softly.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first. Zhao An and the others should be coming soon." Zhong Li replied slowly.
Soon, the guy came back with a thin sword in his hand and respectfully handed it to Zhongli.
I took the sword and played with it in my hand.
"Yes, the material is indeed excellent!" Zhongli praised.
The sword in his hand was swung and the sound of breaking through the air was hidden. The sword body whispered softly with the force in his hand.
"This sword is made of high-quality fine iron, with absolutely first-class quality!" The guy introduced it to Zhongli in a timely manner.
"Yes, you can keep it first." Zhongli threw the sword back to him and said nothing.
The guy looked confused and didn't know what this person was going to do, but after the other party said that, he could only do it, regretting that he lost a good deal.
"Bold, who is not open to his eyes dares to covet my shop..." A arrogant voice came outside the door.
Zhongli and Lu Yuan looked back together.
