Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 118

Chapter 151

Cheng Yaojin may be a top dignitary in the Tang Dynasty, or an influential figure in the army, but to Li Chengqian, he is not a good person.

Nonsense, what kind of a good guy can a guy who has the cheek to steal money from his juniors be?
Anyway, from Li Chengqian's point of view, this adored guy can do anything for money.

So when this guy expressed his thanks in a very serious tone, Li Chengqian's first reaction was... What kind of deceitful ideas is he thinking of?
Cheng Yaojin looked at his alert expression, and couldn't help moving his hand on the table.

This bastard, I really want to slap him in the face.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Cheng Yaojin decided to pay the debt first, "In the 17th year, Queen Seondeok of Silla sent a letter saying that Baekje united with Goguryeo to attack Silla and asked Tang for assistance."

"Your Majesty then sent Sangri Hyunjang to Goguryeo and ordered Goguryeo and Baekje to stop attacking Silla. When Sangri Hyunjang arrived in Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, Yeongae Suwen was fighting Silla. He learned of Sangri Hyunjang's arrival. Gai Suwen returned to Pyongyang to meet him, but he rejected His Majesty's request for a truce."

"Since then, His Majesty has decided to attack Goguryeo!"

"However, it is a pity that Goguryeo's terrain and climate are too harsh, and the Great Tang Expedition may suffer heavy losses."

"If the Eastern Expedition fails, the prestige that Datang took 30 years to build will be lost in one day."

Cheng Yaojin paused, and then continued: "Just when everyone was at a loss, you suddenly sent two letters, which easily solved the most difficult problem in Datang!"

"So boy, although the old man did not lead the army to go out, I should also say thank you to you. The Eastern Expedition is a foregone conclusion. No matter what, the king of the Tang Dynasty will set foot on the land of Goguryeo, and your two strategies will undoubtedly succeed. Reduce many unnecessary casualties."

"This is why the old man thanked you, the old man thanked you for the hundred thousand troops!"

Cheng Yaojin's expression became more and more solemn, even Li Chengqian couldn't help admiring him.

"Boy, come, drink three hundred cups!"

"... "

Cheng Yaojin doesn't like to be lyrical. In contrast, he prefers to put everything he wants to say into the wine.

The feeling is deep and stuffy, I can't finish talking, and I can't finish the wine either.

The two came and went, and the Cheng family's six little devils also returned to the lobby, and then consciously picked up the wine glass and began to drink.

There are grape wine and sanle pulp on the table. Although this thing doesn't have much wine taste, it has a lot of stamina. Li Chengqian has already verified this point.

After a while, except for Li Chengqian, Cheng Yaojin and his six sons were flushed, their eyes were staring, and their bodies were precarious.

"Boy, you are an amazing character!"

Cheng Yaojin hiccupped, and said with his tongue out: "This old man has lived for decades, and this is the first time... It's the first time I've seen such a monstrous boy like you. I admire you for all your achievements. You are truly amazing!"

"To be honest, when you rebelled back then, this old man felt very sad, because this old man watched you grow up, and the best end of rebellion would be to be degraded as a commoner and exiled. As a result, your kid got shit luck, and you can make me Changsun Wuji and those old men came forward to protect you, so that you can be exiled to Qianzhou as the Duke of the state."

"What you did in Qianzhou after that, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty admires it. A little boy in his twenties left his hometown alone and couldn't even return home. It must be very hard, right?"

"Although I am old, I still have some say in the court. If you have anything to do in the court in the future, I will take care of you a little."

"If you don't dislike it, treat the Cheng family as your second family. The old man and your father are brothers, so they can be regarded as your elders. From now on, the Cheng family will be your home, and you will be the old man's nephew!"

After speaking, he shook his head, and then he passed out on the table, completely drunk to death.

The butler of the Cheng family came in to take a look. When they saw the messy lobby, their mouths opened wide.

But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin suddenly reached out and patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder, and said vaguely: "From now on, the things of the Cheng family will be yours!"

"... "

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up instantly, and then he set his eyes on the butler, "Butler, did you hear Uncle Cheng's words just now?"

The butler nodded and smiled, "Your Highness, you are the lord of the prince. Even if the master doesn't regard you as his family, the villain would not dare to offend you."

"Is that so..."

Li Chengqian had a pensive look on his face, "If... I mean if..."

"I like something in this house, can I take it away?"

Now it's the housekeeper's turn to be dazed. Who in the world doesn't know that Cheng Yaojin is a brave man, the kind who can only get in and out. He has always been the only one who cheats others.

However, Li Chengqian said that if he took a fancy to the things in the house, it was worth thinking about.

Just now Cheng Yaojin also said that Li Chengqian is from his own family, and he can do whatever he wants, so he can take things from his own house... Shouldn’t he be right?

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, the butler said, "Your Highness, whatever you fancy, just take it."

Since Cheng Yaojin has agreed, and Li Chengqian is a prince with a noble status, how dare a group of servants refuse?
Besides, Li Chengqian may want to take something casually as a souvenir, after all, he may never be able to return to Chang'an in the future.

"Housekeeper, wait for me, I'll come back when I go..."

Under the astonished eyes of the housekeeper, Li Chengqian rode Cheng Yaojin's Dawan horse directly from the Cheng Mansion stables to the Prince of Guizhou's Mansion.

...

After half an hour.

The steward and servants of Cheng's mansion stared blankly at Li Chengqian and the white-robed soldiers, so shocked that they couldn't even speak.

Cheng Mansion still has a lot of collections, including antique calligraphy and paintings, and exquisite porcelain. Although Cheng Yaojin is a rough man, he likes a cultured atmosphere.

It's not that he likes it, it's mainly because of his wife, Mrs. Pei, who is a scholarly family, so Cheng Yaojin built the old Cheng's family into a place with cultural heritage.

Li Chengqian reckoned that if these things were sold, they could sell for almost two thousand guan.

Cheng Yaojin robbed himself of [-] guan, Li Chengqian can keep it in mind, this is considered to be a timely stop loss.

As for my own family, it basically means that we are all one family, and then what is yours is mine, and what is mine is mine.

Money blinds people. From the moment Li Chengqian entered Cheng's house, he focused on his things and began to think about how to make these things his own.

When Cheng Yaojin fell, Li Chengqian knew the opportunity had come.

So with a flick, the treasure of the old Cheng's family became the property of the old Li's family.

If Li Shimin knew this kind of thinking, he would not know whether to be happy or worried, because the domineering thinking of the old Li family was well implemented in Li Chengqian.

The old Cheng family had never suffered such a catastrophe since it appeared on Suzaku Street, and no one had dared to do anything to the Cheng family, so this time it was a breakthrough.
