"Through the accumulation, the accumulation is slow!" Li Zhi said impatiently, "How long have I been waiting? I have been waiting for three years since you wanted to open the sea trade."

"I know His Royal Highness King Jin is in a hurry. 15 years old is really too early. You don't have to be late for a good meal." Gu Qing said leisurely.

Li Zhi left dejectedly, feeling bored walking in the village.

"What's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood." With a playful greeting, a girl with a cheerful smile came from the side.

Li Zhi took her hand and said, "It's all between me and Gu Qing."

"Can you talk to me?" She didn't refuse Li Zhi's hand holding, but accepted it gladly but was still a little afraid of being seen.

Li Zhi recounted the conversation between himself and Gu Qing, "Qi'er, I really don't understand why Gu Qing keeps procrastinating. Sometimes I think he doesn't want to hand over Haimao to me."

"Then what preparations do you think you need to deal with the sea trade?" She said, "I am a peasant woman, but I know that the road must be paved before walking. If the road is not good, it must be muddy. If the road has been repaired , then it’s a matter of course to go there.”

"Paving the way?" Li Zhi thought for a long time and said, "I know what to do. Gu Qing is not delaying me, but seeing if I am ready."

"Maybe." She enjoyed the mountain breeze in the suburbs.

"I know, I know what to do." Li Zhi let out a long breath, "Gu Qing, Gu Qing, you are always like this, you say half and keep half! Today's maritime trade business is Gu Qing, but without the support of those princes It doesn’t work, I want to make a bridge, first settle those old generals, I’m not afraid that Gu Qing won’t give me Haimao.”

"You are the prince, this should be easy."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at her, her hair was blown by the breeze, thinking of Cheng Yaojin's old face, Li Xiaogong's refusal to buy it, and Niu Jinda's refusal to eat oil and salt, thinking of these things, Li Zhi felt I was at a loss again, what would Gu Qing do, I thought about it again, I remembered that Gu Qing said something, some things have to be opened, and the next thing is done while watching.

"It seems really difficult, but don't worry, I will work hard." Li Zhi nodded seriously.

"It's not about reassuring me." She covered her mouth and smiled, "It's you who are reassuring about yourself, you idiot."

Chapter 675 It's just a bowl

After returning home, Li Zhi tidied up in a hurry and went out by himself. Gu Qing looked at him rushing out, "What are you doing, His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"

"Mingda doesn't know." The little boy was swinging freely on the swing and looked at Gu Qing, "Brother Gu Qing, can the emperor and queen really live in the village?"

"If your father and mother want to come to the village, who can stop them." Gu Qing ate peaches and said, "The house is already under construction in the village, your father and mother will not come later, it depends on their mood I can't tie them up and let them live in the village."

"That's true." Xiao Sizi steadied the swing, "It would be great if the father, the queen and the queen can really come, so that Mingda can see them every day."

"It seems that Princess Jinyang has something on her mind." Gu Qing smiled at Xiao Sizi.

"Brother Gu Qing, is there nothing on your mind?" Xiao Si asked back.

"I have a lot of things on my mind, and I can't finish talking all day and night."

Li Zhi came all the way to Chang'an City, walked on Zhuque Street and came to the gate of Cheng's Mansion, and hesitated again, whether he should go in or not.

Cheng Chumo just came back from a business trip and saw hesitating at the door of his house. Li Zhi stepped forward curiously, "His Royal Highness, who is this?"

"Brother Chu Mo, you are back." Li Zhi hurried forward and said, "Is General Cheng in the residence?"

"Old man!" Cheng Chumo yelled towards the house.

"What are you doing!" There was also a very confident response from the Cheng residence.

"Here." Cheng Chumo said, "His Royal Highness, would you like to go in and have a seat?"

"This one……"

"Old man!" Cheng Chumo yelled at the family again, "His Highness Prince Jin is here."

It is said that Cheng Yaojin's home is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, at least every time Gu Qing came to Cheng's mansion, he came back intact. Seeing this posture, Li Zhi kept asking himself to calm down, but he really couldn't move forward.

"Yo, His Royal Highness Jin is here." Cheng Yaojin, a hulking and stubble-faced man, came over, "Come on! Enter the mansion and set up a banquet!"

"actually……"

Halfway through Li Zhi's words, he turned around and was about to leave, when he felt his legs lift off the ground, dangling in mid-air, feeling the strength of the back of his lapel, and his heart went cold, it really is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair.

Cheng Yaojin carried Li Zhi into the house, came to the lobby and threw it casually and said, "Gu Qing was also carried by the old man in the same way back then."

Li Zhi smiled wryly, Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda, which one is not good, but he just came to Cheng Yaojin, an old man's house, so he might not be able to go out this time.

"His Royal Highness, don't be afraid." Cheng Chumo said, "My old man is not a scourge, just say whatever you want."

"That's natural." Cheng Yaojin said: "Come here, bring me the strongest wine from the old man's house!"

"That...General Cheng." Li Zhi hesitated, "Actually, Xiao Wang came here to ask for something important."

"Advice is for advice, and drinking is for drinking." Cheng Yaojin said with a nonchalant smile, "His Royal Highness Jin is a rare visitor, and he is rarely seen on weekdays. If you come here once in a while, you must have a good drink!"

"Not so bad!" Cheng Chumo also said: "Come and serve the wine quickly!"

The sea bowl, which was bigger than his face, was placed in front of his eyes, and Li Zhi really didn't know what to say.

"drink!"

Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo and his son drank it in one gulp.

Seeing Li Zhi's delay in moving, Cheng Yaojin raised his face suspiciously and said, "Could it be that the wine at the old man's house does not suit His Royal Highness Jin's appetite."

Li Zhi took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl, since he wanted to get Haimao, the Cheng family had to drink this wine.

Cheng Yaojin stared at Li Zhi's expression and told the family servants, "Give your Highness King Jin a cup of green tea instead."

"Wait!" Li Zhi stopped the servants of Cheng's family, "I'll drink!"

As he spoke, Li Zhi picked up the wine bowl and swallowed it down.

"Wow ha ha ha ha." Cheng Yaojin laughed happily when he saw this, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang has a good drinker."

After drinking it in one gulp, Li Zhi heyed Cheng Yaojin, his whole body shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"His Royal Highness King Jin!" Cheng Chumo hurried forward to see Li Zhi's state, "Father, Prince Jin pours down a bowl as soon as it's served. This drink is too bad! My child helped His Highness Jin go down to rest."

Seeing the situation, Cheng Yaojin felt uneasy, "It's all my fault, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has never drunk strong alcohol, so His Highness Jin Wang shouldn't be allowed to drink it."

"By the way." Cheng Chumo looked at Cheng Yaojin, "Old man, what is this Prince Jin looking for you for?"

"How does this old man know?" Cheng Yaojin carried drunk Li Zhi on his shoulders, "Your Majesty is very concerned about His Royal Highness Prince Jin's youngest son, I will take His Royal Highness Jin to Daming Palace directly, or His Majesty may blame this old man gone."

"That's true." Cheng Chumo nodded blankly.

Cheng Yaojin carried the emaciated Li Zhi on his shoulders and was about to walk out the door. Cheng Chumo hurriedly followed and covered him with a black cloth, "Old man, keep a low profile! I'm afraid it's hard to explain if someone sees him."

"I understand." Cheng Yaojin nodded seriously.

It was already late at night when Li Zhi woke up again, and he opened his eyes in a daze to see the strange surroundings, "Where am I?"
