Chapter 1246 Unlucky Again
Lin Rong looked at Lord Chen and wanted to refuse coldly, but he changed his mind for some reason.
"The tavern in White Lane, I'll go first, Master Chen, come here as soon as possible."
Lin Rong said this, gave a shout, and rode his horse past Lord Chen at high speed.
"Puh, puh, puh," Lord Chen dodged fiercely, but was still blown in the face by the wind brought by the horse. The stench of the horse rushed into his nose, making his face smelly. "How far did this Lin Rong ride on horseback?"
The horses are all stink!
"Sir, are you okay?" His men quickly supported him.
Master Chen flicked his sleeves and asked, "Where did he just say that?"
"The Tavern in White Lane."
Lord Chen looked around and was a little annoyed. "Isn't that still quite far? Are you comparing my two legs with his four legs?"
Having said that, Lord Chen turned around and ran towards Baixiang.
Baixiang is not far from Huaiyuan.
Lord Chen arrived breathlessly, and when he reached the door, he stopped to catch his breath, holding onto the door frame. He saw Lin Rong sitting at a table on the inside, pouring wine, and looking over at him.
He looked so calm and composed, which made him look even more embarrassed.
Lord Chen was so angry that he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Did Lord Lin deliberately play a trick on me? There are so many taverns, but why did he have to come here..."
"Master Chen."
A greeting from behind interrupted Mr. Chen's words.
Lord Chen immediately recognized who it was. He stood up straight, turned around, and saw Crown Prince Zhou Ze.
"Your humble servant greets His Highness..." Lord Chen was startled and hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be polite."
The prince extended his hand to support him, motioning him to go into the tavern quickly.
"Your Highness, please, please." Lord Chen bent down and stretched out his hand to welcome the prince in.
After the prince entered, Lord Chen grabbed his sleeve and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Lin Rong is such a dishonest guy!
Is this intentional?
Not only did she secretly make an appointment with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she also didn't tell him, allowing him to come to the Crown Prince in such a hurry to be a conspicuous person.
If it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea to come to this hidden tavern, then wouldn't his shouting just now be an offense to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Baixiang is quite secluded, with very few people coming and going. The pub here does not do much business.
There are probably only a few people coming every day.
Some came here unintentionally, some were regular customers, and some were here on purpose to find a secluded and quiet place to have a drink, as it was rare to find this place.
Lord Chen knew about this tavern because Huaiyuan was not far away.
Since Miss Lu lived in Huaiyuan, he naturally had to personally walk around the five-mile radius of Huaiyuan to see if there was anything wrong.
He met Lin Rong here when he was wandering around.
Mr. Chen felt at the time that Lin Rong must have thought of the same thing as him. He was really a very scheming person! Fortunately, he also thought of it and did not lag behind.
But now when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Chen felt a sense of crisis.
"Master Chen won't come in?"
After the prince sat down at Lin Rong's table, he looked up and saw Lord Chen still standing there, wondering what he was thinking.
Lord Chen came back to his senses, hurried in and bowed.
"I didn't know that His Highness had left the palace..."
"Please sit down," the prince said slowly, "I have an appointment with Lord Lin."
"Yes Yes."
Lord Chen carefully sat down on another stool.
Lin Rong had already picked up the jug and poured wine. He first placed a cup in front of the prince, and then poured another cup for Lord Chen.
Lord Chen was a little restless for a moment.
He holds the lowest position here.
It was his job to pour the wine, but he couldn't get the chance to do so before Lin Rong.
He said that Lin Rong's straightforward and uncompromising image was a lie. In his eyes, Lin Rong was definitely the most scheming person!
hum~
"Your Highness, why are you in the mood to leave the palace today? Is there anything I can do for you?" Lord Chen ignored Lin Rong and smiled at the prince so hard that three wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"I have some things to deliver to Huai Garden, so I came out to relax."
The prince looked at Lord Chen and asked curiously, "I heard that Lord Chen has been personally leading people to patrol the city recently."
Lord Chen said quickly, "This is what I should do. The safety of the capital is the top priority of my duties. I hope to be able to keep an eye on as many bad guys or evil people as possible and nip them in the bud before they do anything bad, or if something really happens, I hope to catch the offender immediately."
The prince raised his glass upon hearing this, "Lord Chen is devoted to the people, and I admire you."
"Don't dare."
Lord Chen quickly raised his glass as well.
"I would like to offer a drink to Your Highness." He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
When he drank the glass of wine, his Adam's apple rolled. The prince glanced at it unintentionally and seemed to see a few black spots on his skin there.
But when he wanted to see clearly, Lord Chen had already lowered his head and he could no longer see.
The prince drank the wine and asked, "Master Chen has been working so hard recently, is your health okay?"
He pointed to his throat and asked, "With the recent change of seasons, I heard that many people are feeling unwell, especially with sore throats and hoarse voices..."
"Is there anything wrong with you, Master Chen?"
Lord Chen was very touched because he thought the prince cared about him so much.
"I am fine, I am in good health!"
Lin Rong sneered.
clatter?
Chen Deshan is really getting more and more difficult to bear as he gets older. How can a grown man speak so lively?
The prince asked curiously, "I'm glad you're okay. By the way, I heard that the emperor's uncle and Miss Lu gave you three amulets before they left Beijing?"
If the amulet is still on Lord Chen, then he will really be fine.
When Mr. Chen heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter.
My eyes are almost red.
"Your Highness, please don't mention it. I want to tell you..."
Lord Chen immediately started talking.
No one had told him about this before, and he didn't know who to talk to about it, but now he finally had the chance.
It turned out that Miss Lu said that he was unlucky, but later the culprit who caused his bad luck was caught, Jin Jie'er, who wanted to be his concubine.
Now that Sister Jin has been imprisoned by him, for a few months, it seems that he is not so unlucky anymore.
He even handled several cases in the capital, not too big or too small. He conducted very clear trials and sentenced several criminals, either imprisoning those who deserved to be imprisoned or beheading those who deserved to be beheaded. He even won praise from the emperor.
There were even people among the people who secretly praised him as Chen Qingtian.
But recently, he seems to be a little unlucky again.
"Three amulets. I gave one to the child and one to the wife."
Lord Chen said with a bitter face, "But a while ago, when the barbarian envoys came to Beijing, I just went to join in the fun, and the amulet was burned."
