The commander of this forbidden army also rode to Wang Jian's car.
He raised his hands to Wang Jian and said, "Your Majesty, at the request of the Prime Minister, I will transport the sacred objects back to Sinong Temple for storage."
"I will leave a team behind. Troops, continue escorting you to the county prince's residence."
"Thank you," Wang Jian said to him politely.
Under the leadership of the rest of the Forbidden Army, they walked for more than a quarter of an hour.
Wubenfang.
A dozen carriages stopped in front of a mansion.
"Such a big house!"
Yaodan put his hands on his hips, looked up at the big house in front of him, and let out an exclamation.
Behind him, Han Xuelian, Xue Rengui, Erdan, and Ma Chengcai stood in a row.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
The mansion is surrounded by towering walls, which are higher than the city walls of Longmen County.
There are also exquisite murals carved on the stone slabs on both sides of the gate.
"Lord County Marquis, the small task is completed, and we are ready to return to Qianniu Guard."
The leading imperial guard came to Wang Jian and said respectfully with his hands clasped in fists.
Wang Jian took out a few ingots of silver and handed them to him with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you and your brothers some money to buy drinks."
Looking at the large ingots of silver in front of them, the faces of the surrounding Imperial Guards all showed surprise.
This young county prince is so generous!
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." The leading Imperial Guard waved his hand in refusal.
He did not dare to take the money.
"Take it." Wang Jian stuffed the silver into his hand, and then said, "I give it to you all as a personal reward, so please feel free to use it."
The leader of the imperial army looked at Zuo Gu. He looked around and exchanged glances with the brothers around him.
Seeing the eagerness in everyone's eyes, he gritted his teeth and accepted the money.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis of the County, for the reward!"
All the Imperial Guards present bowed their hands to Wang Jian and thanked him loudly.
Wang Jian saw the group of forbidden soldiers leaving happily, shook his head and walked to Yao Dan's side.
Looking up, I saw a large plaque hanging on the large vermilion door.
Carved on it are four large Chinese characters with flying dragons and phoenixes.
The Prince’s Mansion in Wang County.
The door is open at the moment, and there are four soldiers with spears stationed at the door.
Wang Jian glanced at the four soldiers in confusion.
Is there still a forbidden army guarding the gate of the county prince's mansion?
With doubts, Wang Jian turned around and said to everyone.
"Let's go in."
saidAfter finishing, Wang Jian took the lead and walked in with his head held high.
The soldier guarding the gate had met with the Imperial Guard before and knew that the young man in front of him was the County Marquis.
They shouted in unison, "Welcome the Lord County Marquis home!"
Wang Jian nodded towards them.
Xue Rengui, Wang Tianyi and others drove a carriage and entered through the side door.
When he walked through the front yard and came to the lobby, Wang Jian saw an unexpected person.
Prince Li Chengqian!
Li Chengqian was carrying his back and was constantly instructing his subordinates to arrange the potted plants and murals he had brought.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Wang Jian said in surprise.
Behind him, Xue Rengui, Han Xuelian and other people saluted.
"The common people pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing the voice behind him, Li Chengqian turned around in surprise.
"Brother Wang, you are finally here!"
Li Chengqian walked up to Wang Jian and waved peacefully towards Xue Rengui and the others.
"No need to be polite."
Then he said to Wang Jian with a smile.
"I thought that you would be tired all the way, so I arranged the house for you in advance so that you can move in as soon as you arrive."
"And you are new to Chang'an, so you are also familiar with Chang'an. I don’t know much about it.”
“Gushundao brings you four maids and one errand boy.”
Li Chengqian’s words made everyone present feel warm. .
"Thank you, Your Highness." With gratitude on his face, Wang Jian bowed his hands to Li Chengqian and thanked him.

To be honest, Wang Jian was moved by Li Chengqian's actions.
I didn’t expect that a prince would be so considerate and be a subordinate to him.
"Brother Wang, there is no need to perform these false courtesy in private." Li Chengqian stood on tiptoe and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, and then said, "Let me show you around this mansion."
Under the leadership of Li Chengqian, Wang Jian and his party visited the entire mansion.
Needless to say, the environment of the mansion is complete with pavilions, rockeries and gardens.
What surprised Wang Jian the most was that there was a huge underground secret room under the study room of this mansion.
It is best used to store silver, horseshoes and numerous weapons and gifts.
"Your Highness, how come this mansion has such a big secret room?"
Faced with Wang Jian's curiosity, Li Chengqian said nonchalantly.
"This mansion was originally owned by a corrupt official from the previous dynasty, and this secret room was used by him to store stolen goods."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian chuckled, "Brother Wang, this mansion was originally intended to be given by the emperor to secretary-supervisor Wei Zheng. "
"It's just that Wei Zheng thought this mansion was too luxurious and didn't want it. "
Wei Zheng was Li Jiancheng's old subordinate. Although he is now highly valued by Li Shimin, he knows how to keep a low profile.
If you want this mansion and follow Li Shimin's old subordinate to conquer the world, It was inevitable to be jealous.
Wang Jian nodded, "I got a big deal. "
After staying for a while, Li Chengqian was about to return to the East Palace.
Before leaving, Li Chengqian patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, "Brother Wang, rest early tonight. I will come to you eventually. "
"You may not know much about the court when you first came here. I will take you to the court tomorrow. "
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he hurriedly left.
Looking at Li Chengqian's leaving figure, Wang Jian was silent for a moment, and then shook his head.
Li Chengqian He felt very strongly about his intentions.
No wonder the former lord went out to greet the people who came to seek refuge.
Wang Jian thought to himself. >
"As long as I am here, Li Chengqian will never suffer the tragic fate again in the future. "
...
After arriving at the new house for the first time, everyone happily walked around a few times.
Seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, Wang Jian then Start making arrangements.
"Sister Lian, please arrange everyone's rooms, and you will be responsible for managing the food and clothing in the mansion from now on. ”
“Erdan, take the people to unload the carriage, put the silver, horseshoes and weapons into the underground secret room. "
"Two carriages of rice paper were put into the study. "
Then, Wang Jian turned to look at Wang Tianer's wife.
"Sister Hua, from now on, the kitchen of the County Marquis' Mansion will be handed over to you. "
"You arrange for people to bring all the pots and pans to the kitchen and cook some more dishes tonight. "
"When you go to the market to buy groceries later, you can ask the servants brought by His Highness the Prince to lead the way. "
Wang Tianer's wife is one of the chefs of Majiazhuang Canteen, and her cooking skills are very good.
"Okay. "
Sister Hua nodded in response and called all the sisters over.
Evening.
"Haha, arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. "
Ma Zhou came to the county prince's mansion with his meal.
Looking at the four tables of delicious food, he couldn't help laughing.
Wang Jianhe Han Xuelian walked out of the back hall side by side.
Seeing Ma Zhou carrying a large bag of steamed cakes with a happy face, he couldn't help but joked
"Brother Ma, I am. Look at your face, you are really lucky! "
"Hehe. "Ma Zhou chuckled twice, then put the sesame cakes onWhen they arrived at the dinner table, "The steamed cakes I just bought, try to see if they taste good."
Wang Jian glanced at the steamed cakes and stared at Ma Zhou suspiciously.
There is something fishy about buying steamed cakes at night!
Wang Jian crossed his arms and pretended to be interrogating, "Brother Ma, I will be lenient if I confess, but I will be lenient if I resist."
Ma Zhou touched his nose with a blush on his face.
Then he told the matter.
It turns out that when Ma Zhou first arrived in Chang'an two years ago, he was relatively depressed. He was introduced to live in the house of a widow who sold steamed cakes.
After going to see Chang He, Ma Zhou came to the widow’s steamed cake stall by accident.
Seeing this kind, hard-working, gentle and virtuous woman again, Ma Zhou seemed to fall in love.
"So this steamed cake is Sister Wang's betrothal gift to you?"
Wang Jian's sudden words made Ma Zhou's head full of black lines.
"Brother Wang, don't make fun of her. She and I are true love."
