Chapter 124 As expected of Mr. Li, who Uncle Li called Yingguolaiji
Chapter 124 He is worthy of being called Li Laosan by Uncle Li (the fifth of ten updates, please subscribe)
"Then, what should we do?" Li Ke, who had a numb scalp and rubbed his eyes for a long time, began to feel worried.
"It doesn't matter, we can't get it here, we can go find Xiyu Liuli."
Cheng Chubi was very confident and patted Li Ke on the shoulder.
Considering the seriousness of the matter of life and death, Cheng Chubi decided not to waste time in state-owned enterprises.
"Wu Shaojian, thank you for your help, but we won't delay here. By the way, give me the iron pipe."
"But...but this is..." The craftsman who sent the iron pipe was a little confused.
Cheng Chubi was unhappy. He reached into his arms and took out the edict written by Uncle Li himself. "Your Majesty's edict is here. Do you dare not to give it to me?"
The craftsman's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"..." Li Ke and Wu Shaojian looked at the proud Cheng Laosan who was messy in a gust of wind. Is this how His Majesty's edict is used?
However, Li Ke remembered something else and hurried forward to take the glass pot that could not hold even a drop of urine in his hand.
You can show this to your father to prove that you are really working hard and seriously today.
Cheng Chubi and his entourage left Liulifang and rode into the city. Wu Shaojian then said goodbye and returned to the Yamen for business.
The two of them had just entered the city and walked less than a mile when they saw brothers Li Zhen and Li Siwen coming towards them.
But I saw these two men dressed in Huyi and carrying short bows on their backs.
There were several similarly dressed men around him, and they even drove a carriage with a dog cage inside.
"Oh, brothers, where are you going?" His Highness Prince Li Ke's eyes lit up and he raised his hand in greeting.
Brothers Li Zhen and Li Siwen were overjoyed and came to greet them.
"Your Highness, Brother Chu Bi, let's go and have fun with our brothers.
Today I heard that someone saw leopards in the Liujiawa area, twenty miles south of the city..."
After hearing Huabao, Li Ke couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and his face was full of eagerness to try.
"Leopard? That's a good thing. I have hunted wolves and bears, but I have never hunted such a cunning beast."
Cheng Chubi looked at Li Ke, who was scratching his skin with excitement, and shook his head helplessly. He was indeed the Li Laosan whom Uncle Li called a young man.
Li Ke raised his head and glanced at the still early sky, turned his head and smiled at Cheng Chubi with an extraordinarily flattering smile.
"Well, Brother Chu Bi, look, you know the way, Mr. Zhao. How about I go out of the city for a walk and then go back to the Zhao Mansion to find you?..."
Looking at Li Ke, who had always been idle, Cheng Chubi didn't bother to stop him.
"Go ahead, I can handle this Western Region Glazed matter myself."
"Haha, thank you very much, brother Chu Bi. You are indeed my good brother. Then, my dear brother, please hurry up. By the way, give me a bow..."
Looking at the group of dandy boys who were laughing and joking and running towards the outside of the city, Cheng Chubi turned his head and realized that he was the one who wanted to do big things.
How pitiful the leopard is, it is a national first-level protected animal and is protected by law.
If this is left in the future, these guys will get a free voucher for free food and accommodation for several years, um, the kind that covers food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Old man Zhao was very comfortable, lying on the couch in the garden in the backyard of the mansion, being fanned by the cool breeze by the pretty maid.
I squinted my eyes and took in the coolness of early summer. In the pond in front of me, lotus leaves were scattered on the water, rippling with the waves.
After having his prostate removed, Mr. Zhao felt as if he had been reborn.
My whole body has become at least ten years younger. When I pee, I no longer have to worry about it. I can just pee as I like.
In the past, I had to hesitate for a long time before taking a sip of water to moisten my throat. Now I can drink water three times a day without any problem.
"Oh, thanks to Young Master Cheng..."
Old Man Zhao took a big mouthful of iced lotus seed soup, patted his belly with satisfaction, and slowly lay back down.
Although I have recovered, I have to repay the life-saving grace. But how to repay? This is a difficult problem.
After all, Third Young Master Cheng is the biological son of General Cheng, Duke of Lu State. How can he repay such a top honorary figure in the Tang Dynasty?
Giving money? It’s vulgar, too vulgar, it’s simply unbearably vulgar. How could the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty still be interested in those three melons and two dates?
What should I give? This is the question that Mr. Zhao has been thinking about the most these days while he is resting at home.
But what does the old Zhao family have? Apart from the vulgar money and silk, what else can touch people's hearts?
"Master, Master..." A call came from afar, interrupting Mr. Zhao's thoughts.
Old man Zhao sat up unhappily. "What are you calling for? I'm not deaf."
"Master, um, Third Young Master Cheng is here to pay a visit to the master, little man..."
"Mr. Cheng is here to pay a visit to me?! Hurry, hurry up and invite me. Please help me change my clothes quickly. How can I meet guests like this?"
Of course, Cheng Chubi didn't know about the chaos in the back garden of the Zhao Mansion, so he wandered into the front hall under the personal guidance of the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion.
Looking at the front hall of the Zhao Mansion, he looked at the furnishings and arrangements inside... the silver vase with flowers, and the intertwined gold and silver hooks.
There was also the silver candlestick standing on the side, and the old man Zhao who was coming towards me with a face full of joy.
The jade fingers on his hands and the jade belt buckled on his belly.
"I've met my benefactor. I wanted to go to my benefactor's house to thank him before, but I didn't expect that my benefactor actually came to my humble residence. It's really..."
"Old Zhao, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly." Cheng Chubi quickly supported the old Zhao who was saluting him.
"Come on, come on, please take a seat. Please take a seat, my benefactor."
Under the warm invitation of Mr. Zhao, Cheng Chubi naturally followed the host and sat down with Mr. Zhao across the table.
I took a sip of the iced lotus seed soup sent by a pretty lady, and it tasted good.
This is the normal way to treat guests. It's not like the old Cheng family, where they would first have three cups of Cheng's secret Sanlejiang upon meeting.
Cheng Chubi, who quickly recited two lines of the Sutra of Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety, cleared his throat and said to the old man Zhao who was blinking and waiting for him to explain his intention.
"I'm really sorry that Cheng came to visit us today. In fact, he just wanted to ask for something."
"My benefactor, please don't say such things. You saved the old man's life. This kindness has not been repaid by my Zhao family."
"If my benefactor needs anything, just ask. As long as our Zhao family can do anything, we will not disappoint our benefactor."
"Then I'll thank Mr. Zhao first. Cheng Mou heard that the Zhao family also deals in Western Regions Glaze?"
"Western Region Glaze? Think about it..." Mr. Zhao tapped his forehead with his finger. "I remember, there is such a shop."
"To be fair to my benefactor, my Zhao family does manage Western Regions Glaze. I wonder what kind of Western Regions Glaze products my benefactor needs?"
After a pause, Mr. Zhao said with a little embarrassment, "To be honest with you, my benefactor, the quality of the colored glaze from the Western Regions is really not as good as the colored glaze from our Tang Dynasty."
Cheng Chubi was happy, this old man Zhao was a happy person, and he was very happy to deal with happy people.
