Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Sujiazhuang,
The sun in the autumn morning is just right, shining on the ground, and it is peaceful.

The ground is covered with wheat, and every household on the wall is covered with golden corn.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui got up in the morning and walked to the gate.

They knew that at this time, Lao Chen should be walking his dog.

When we got to the door, we saw Lao Chen.

"Old Chen, wake up early."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Shopkeeper Li, you got up early too."

Old Chen laughed.

Ah Huang was having fun in the crop field with his harem, raising his leg to mark the territory from time to time.

"Business people are used to getting up early."

Li Shimin laughed.

"I used to be the captain of Hou Qi, and I was used to getting up early to check the surrounding situation."

Old Chen laughed.

When in the frontier, to prevent the enemy from attacking, people are most relaxed before dawn.

The enemy often chooses this time to attack, and Lao Chen got up to patrol at this time.

"After so many years, the habit can't be changed."

Old Chen laughed.

Du Ruhui said: "Based on your skill, if you serve the current emperor, being a general will not be a problem."

Old Chen said with a smile: "I'm fine here, the whole family is reunited."

"Those things in the army have been seen through for a long time. Even if the emperor is a Mingjun today, what are the people below?"

"One emperor and one courtier, they come and go, they are all dog officials."

The soldiers fought bloody battles, but in the end it was the princes and nobles who were granted the title of Marquis.

The blood of tens of millions of people is only stained red by the great achievements of princes and princes.

Old Chen had already seen through.

Following Su Yu is better than anything else.

On the surface, Old Chen is Su Yu's bodyguard, but in fact he is almost like a brother.

Besides, does Su Yu really need Lao Chen's guard?
Li Shimin smiled, unable to refute this.

"Old Chen, how did your family get separated back then?"

Li Shimin asked.

Lao Chen's smile disappeared instantly.

Looking at Ah Huang who was having fun in the field with both eyes, he sighed and said slowly: "I was serving in the border area, and I disappeared when I came back."

"The whole village is gone, and there is no one to inquire."

"Some said it was done by the Turks, and some said it was done by the rebel army. Who knows."

For Lao Chen, this incident was obviously a very painful past, and he was unwilling to bring it up.

Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui.

"Old Chen, a friend of mine who does business in the south of the Yangtze River accidentally got a jade pendant, can you see if it belongs to your family?"

Du Ruhui took out a small box from his pocket and opened it carefully.

When Lao Chen saw the jade pendant inside, he was shocked.

"Where did you get it from?"

Old Chen grabs Du Ruhui.

Li Shimin hurriedly stopped Lao Chen and said, "Old Chen, don't get excited."

Du Ruhui was taken aback, and Lao Chen lifted him up like a chicken.

Only when Lao Chen realized that he had lost his composure, he quickly put Du Ruhui down.

"Sorry, I'm so excited."

"This is my younger brother's jade pendant."

Old Chen took out a piece of jade pendant from his neck, and when the two were put together, it happened to be a complete piece.

"Back then, I, Aye, said that the world was in chaos. One day our brothers will be separated, and future generations will be able to recognize relatives with this jade pendant."

"Du accountant, where did you get this jade pendant?"

Old Chen burst into tears.

Du Ruhui was relieved, it was indeed the jade pendant of the old Chen family.

Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui to find a way to let Su Yu go to Jiangnan from Sujiazhuang.

Du Ruhui has no choice but to break his head, because Su Yu is a salted fish, the kind that sticks to the pan.

It is absolutely impossible to let him go out by himself.

The only way is to start with the people around Su Yu.

It happened that Lao Chen's family was lost, so Du Ruhui looked for him from him.

After several years of searching, only one piece of jade pendant was found, which is said to be from Yunyang County.

Du Ruhui wasn't sure if it belonged to Lao Chen's family.

Now take out a pair, it really is.

Not only Lao Chen was happy, but also Li Shimin.

Finally, Su Yu, a salted fish, can be turned around.

"Old Chen, don't get excited, listen to us slowly."

Du Ruhui comforted Lao Chen, fearing that he would break his bones if he became agitated.

"Okay, go to my house."

Lao Chen happily took Li Shimin and the two back home.

This is Li Shimin's first visit to Lao Chen's house.

When he walked in, Li Shimin was shocked.

All kinds of rare treasures, as well as famous swords, knives and guns hang on the wall.

"Old Chen, so your family is so rich."

Du Ruhui exclaimed.

Shangguan Yun heard the voice and hurried out.

"Shopkeeper, accountant Du, please sit down."

Invite them to sit down, pour tea, and serve breakfast.

Li Shimin picked up a piece of corn and gnawed on it, looking around at the furnishings at home.

This level of luxury, apart from his own palace, can't be compared to even a prince's.

I also want to invite Lao Chen to be an official. I'm afraid he won't like the salary I give.

"Du accountant, tell me quickly."

Lao Chen sat down and urged Du Ruhui.

"what happened?"

Shangguan Yun asked strangely.

"We found a piece of jade pendant in Yangzhou, which belonged to Brother Chen."

Li Shimin said.

"Found someone?"

Shangguan Yun asked in surprise.

"No, I just found a piece of jade pendant, but no one found it."

Du Ruhui said.

Old Chen asked: "Where did you get this jade pendant? Who gave it to you? Don't they know my brother?"

If you can find the jade pendant, just follow the jade pendant to find it.

Li Shimin said: "Old Chen, this is a jade pendant given by your parents. You will never sell it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I guess it's because your elder brother had a problem and sold the jade pendant."

"There are no acquaintances between buyers and sellers, so it's hard to know."

"However, this jade pendant was obtained from Yangzhou. If I think about it, if I come to Yangzhou, I should have a clue."

Shangguan Yun used to be Li Shimin's guard, so he vaguely guessed what Li Shimin meant.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity of my husband to find his family, so that Mr. Su can go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"I think so too, but you are in Sujiazhuang, so you can't leave."

Du Ruhui said.

Lao Chen got up immediately, took down the sword on the wall, went back to his room to get the check, and was about to go out to look for it.

Shangguan Yun held Lao Chen back and said, "There are so many people, you just go there, how can you find them?"

"Besides, Yangzhou is thousands of miles away, so you should have a plan."

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui stood up and persuaded: "Old Chen, it took us several years to find this jade pendant, how can you find someone by yourself."

Old Chen was too excited to pay attention to this.

Shangguan Yun understood.

It took several years to find the jade pendant, which was carefully planned.

That being the case, Shangguan Yun helped Li Shimin and also his husband.

"The sea of ​​people is vast, and more than ten years have passed."

"If my uncle is in Yangzhou, he will also change his appearance. If you rush there alone, it will be difficult to find someone."

"I think, this matter can only be done by the young master."

"He has a clever plan, and he must have a way."

Shangguan Yun said.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui shouted that Shangguan Yun Bingxue was smart, needless to say, he understood their intentions in seconds.

Old Chen nodded and said: "Yes, young master knows everything, please go to Yangzhou for a while."

However, Old Chen hesitated again.

Young master, this salted fish, going out to Chang'an Pingkangfang is already the limit.

How can I get him to go to Yangzhou?
"Old Chen, are you worried that my younger brother won't go out?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Hey, shopkeeper, you also know that my son is used to salted fish."

"It's too far to go to Chang'an City, let alone Yangzhou, which is thousands of miles away."

Lao Chen is in trouble.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Old Chen, you have an unusual relationship with Mr. Su."

"If you beg him, I think Mr. Su will agree."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I think so too."

Lao Chen hesitated for a moment and left the house.

With corn in his mouth, Li Shimin hurriedly followed with Du Ruhui.
