Chen Guanlou had just drunk half a cup of tea and eaten two snacks when a beautiful maid invited him to the study, saying that the prince had been waiting for a long time. He glanced at the maid's pretty face, and then followed her to the study without looking away. The style of the prince's study is very different from that of the eldest master's study. The eldest master's study looks heavy, with not many decorations, and each piece is a famous product. The prince's study is very transparent, with special design for lighting, and all kinds of decorations are mainly gorgeous, not blindly pursuing expensiveness. The tables, chairs and benches are also mainly comfortable, not like the style of a military general. A little bit of youthful loyalty, a manifestation of young people's love of enjoyment. He silently calculated the age, and the prince should be seven or eight years older than him. As soon as Pu Yi met, he saw an ancient version of a "dominant president". He had a small mustache, and his whole body was meticulous, without a single piece of jewelry. Even the crown on his head was just an ordinary gold crown, not the popular jade crown. He neither hung a purse nor wore a jade pendant, and there was no ring on his hand. The word "serious" is radiating from head to toe. This is a military commander!
This is the first impression Chen Guanlou had when he saw him for the first time. A living military commander, a man born in a noble family, who has been trained in the army for many years, with both the nobility of a noble family and the meticulous style developed in the army. They blend together perfectly. It is completely opposite to the style of the eldest master who is unrestrained and unrestrained, sees through the world and is wild and wanton. However, it can still be seen from the two faces that they are a pair of father and son. The facial features are very similar, but the temperament is very different. "Meet the prince!" Chen Guanlou bowed up and down. "Brother Lou, there is no need to be polite. You and I are brothers, just treat this as your own home." Chen Guanfu looked serious, but he spoke politely and gently. "Brother Lou, please sit down." "Thank you, prince." Chen Guanlou sat down on the right. "The butler has mentioned you to me many times. I am curious, so I asked you to come over for a chat." Chen Guanfu got straight to the point and explained the reason very straightforwardly. As expected, he is a military commander, and he speaks and acts very directly. Chen Guanlou suddenly realized. He was just wondering, how could a small person like him suddenly catch the prince's eye. It turned out that it was the butler who recommended him. The butler is really 'tireless in teaching people'. "You completed the last mission very well, saving us a lot of trouble." "Your Highness, are you referring to the last mission of escorting prisoners and goods? This matter is not worth mentioning. I relied on the reputation of the Tianlao and the secret connections of the Marquis' Mansion to make it so smooth." Chen Guanfu laughed when he heard this, "Brother Lou, don't be so humble. I have always been a man of one thing and two things. Your credit is yours, and no one can take it away. The so-called reputation and the so-called connections still depend on people. Finding the right person will get twice the result with half the effort. Finding the wrong person, hey... let's not talk about this. Today is the first time we brothers meet, let's get to know each other first, and then we can interact more after we are familiar with each other. If you have any problems, come to me directly, and I will help you." "Thank you, Your Highness!" Chen Guanlou thanked him sincerely. He likes to deal with straightforward people. Even if the other party does not show the true side, at least the atmosphere of this conversation is harmonious and harmonious. Chen Guanfu continued, "I heard from the housekeeper that you insisted on staying in Tianlao as a clerk and refused to enter the officialdom. Don't worry, everyone has their own ambitions. I believe you have your reasons for staying in Tianlao. Tianlao is a place that is a great treasure. It depends on whether you can use it. Obviously, you are a smart person. I don't advise you to leave Tianlao. If you want to stay, stay there. If someone makes things difficult for you and deliberately frames you, I allow you to fight back in the name of the Marquis' Mansion. If you are unable to do it, you can ask for help from the Marquis' Mansion. This is the promise of this prince to you." Huh?
He must have had a great fortune today, one or two people rushed to show goodwill to him. Good man! "I am very grateful for the prince's treatment of me. If the prince has any orders, just tell me." Chen Guanlou firmly believes that there is no free lunch in the world. Chen Guanfu showed goodwill to him, but he couldn't have nothing in mind. What is there for him to be plotted by the prince of the Marquis' Mansion? Could it be that he wants him to deliver the goods again? Or is it that the Tianlao imprisoned related people who needed his extra care. Chen Guanfu stared at him. Chen Guanlou held the teacup and pretended to drink tea. The tea of the Houfu was delicious. The tea brewed from the top-grade tea was not inferior to that of the old emperor, or even better. After all, suppliers did not have to worry about being killed by the Houfu for not being able to supply goods. "The rebel King Ming will soon arrive in the capital." Chen Guanfu was silent for a moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was talking about a big case and a big figure, a rebel that the whole world was paying attention to. Chen Guanlou's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he knew there was no free lunch. Sure enough, there was a conspiracy. He did not feel surprised, nor did he feel angry. He felt relieved that it had finally come. Just like him, he would not be good to someone for no reason. There must be a give and take, and there must be value in helping. Money is the most intuitive criterion. Occasionally showing kindness is just some small things that are done conveniently. For example, giving a bun to a beggar on the street, how big a deal can it be. "According to the route, we will reach the capital in three days." Chen Guanlou said truthfully. "Is the Tianlao ready?" Chen Guanlou nodded, "We specially modified a cell to ensure the personal safety of the prisoners." "Yes, ensuring the safety of the prisoners is the top priority. In the early spring of next year, your majesty will sacrifice the flesh and blood of the rebel Ming King to the heaven, and the prisoners cannot make any mistakes." Chen Guanlou was wondering what the Marquisate wanted to do. If he was asked to kill the rebel King Ming, there was no need to go through so much trouble. The man was captured by the master. If he wanted to kill him, the master could kill him on the battlefield without anyone noticing, and there would be no trouble. There was no need to wait until he arrived in the capital to kill him. Release? There was no need. It was easier to release someone on the battlefield than to kill him. The reason was the same as above. There was no need to delay going to the capital to do this. Then what else? Make things difficult for the old emperor! In an instant, Chen Guanlou seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, and he caught the impulse of a flash of inspiration. Make things difficult for the old emperor, how to make things difficult for him? Chen Guanlou was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little eager to try. He had no sense of taking the blame. He did not consider the consequences of this matter. Chen Guanfu pondered and weighed the options repeatedly, "When the rebel Ming Wang arrives in the capital, you should take good care of him and don't wrong him. If necessary, try to meet his demands. The required silver will be borne by the Marquis' Mansion." Huh?
Chen Guanlou asked, "Is this what the master meant, or what you meant, Prince?" "Is there any difference?" "There is a little difference." "Tell me about it." "If it is what the master meant, could it be that the master is concerned about the friendship we have fought for so many years? If it is what the prince meant, I have to think deeply about it." Chen Guanfu suddenly laughed out loud, and said with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Think deeply, whatever you want. You can even write down your thoughts and tell this prince."
