70. Chapter 70 Bad



Luo Qing jumped down from the training ground with big strides and walked towards his room angrily.

"Chang Zuo, help him pack his luggage, and give him fifty taels of silver as temporary travel expenses."

Chang Zuo followed the order.

After entering the room, Chang Zuo leaned against the wall, waiting for Luo Qing to pack his luggage so that he could send him away.

"Master Chang Zuo, I feel bad for you."

While stuffing his clothes, Luo Qing looked at Chang Zuo with an unhappy and angry expression.

Chang Zuo was puzzled: "What?"

"The princess protects the eunuch, and the young master protects the princess. How can this be fair? Who will give justice to the people? Aren't you ashamed to follow such a master?"

"The young master is very good, and the young lady is also very good."

Chang Zuo couldn't come up with any profound ideas, and to Luo Qing, it sounded like Chang Zuo's feeble excuses.

"Master Chang Zuo makes a lot of money every month, right?" Luo Qing said sarcastically.

"Originally it was ten taels of silver per month, but starting next month it will be twenty taels."

Luo Qing's face turned pale and blue and he stopped talking. Thinking about it this way, Chang Zuo's monthly salary was not high.

"Why did you call Chang An a eunuch?" Chang Zuobanban stood there straight, as firm as a pine tree. "If you don't know him, you can call him eunuch, but eunuch is an insult. Does Chang An have a grudge against you?"

"No." Luo Qing frowned, his face full of hatred, "Eunuchs should be scolded! Good men don't do what they should do, but they sell their bodies, flatter their masters and bully their servants. How can they be good people!"

Chang Zuo: "Prejudice. Most of them entered the palace because of poverty."

Luo Qing sneered, sticking to his heart: "No matter how poor you are, can you throw away your dignity as a man? You just want to take a shortcut, you are born to please the master! The national teacher and the princess are the masters, and the eunuch will naturally be protected if he can please them. I just didn't expect that Lord Chang Zuo, who practices martial arts, would be like this. In this world, there are very few loyal and good people."

Chang Zuo didn't understand Luo Qing's thoughts, so he simply didn't say anything to him. He waited for Luo Qing to finish packing and handed him fifty taels of silver.

"The money given by the young master."

Luo Qing blushed and wanted to refuse, but the expenses in the capital were high. If he didn't have money, he would not be able to realize his ambitions and might even become a runner in the market. His martial arts would be useless.

"Thank you, Imperial Master. But Luo Qing still wants to persuade..."

"No need to persuade me." Chang Zuo helped him carry his bag. "I don't want to hear it. My master doesn't want to hear it either."

Chang Zuo took Luo Qing away. When passing by the martial arts arena, he saw Helian Yu being held and sitting on Xie Rangchen's lap. Luo Qing snorted disdainfully.

"Master Chang Zuo, your imperial tutor knows how to flatter the princess and how to please her."

Chang Zuo remained silent, quickened his pace, and escorted Luo Qing out of the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a servant raising his hand to knock on the door.

The servant bowed to Chang Zuo and said, "Sir, my fourth prince is visiting the Imperial Master. Please inform him."

Chang Zuo handed the bag to Luo Qing and looked at Helian Chi who stepped on the horse stool to get off the carriage: "Your Highness, wait a moment."

After saying this, Chang Zuo closed the door.

Helian Chi chuckled and hooked his finger at Zhuo Liu beside him. Zhuo Liu came forward and he kicked him.

"I told you to come earlier and ask questions earlier, but you insisted on coming with me, and I was locked out again. Do you think you are so glorious?"

Zhuo Liu rubbed the back of his head and said, "Master, please forgive me. I just helped an octogenarian on the street. It's too late now."

Helian Chi's eyelids twitched, and he raised his leg and kicked again: "Who did you learn this from?"

Zhuo Liu answered honestly: "Master Chang Zuo."

Helian Chi wanted to curse but couldn't. He had no problem teaching his own people a lesson, but he was not a fool and would not do such a thing as scolding the Imperial Master in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Zhuo Liu stood up straight suddenly and was very obedient.

Helian Chi turned around, took the glazed crabapple-shaped big-bellied porcelain vase, held it in his hand, and when he looked towards the gate, he noticed Luo Qing who was looking at them with a bag on his back.

Helian Chi gave Zhuo Liu a look, and Zhuo Liu trotted to Luo Qing.

"Young Master, are you from the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

Luo Qing saw Helian Chi kicking Zhuo Liu, but Zhuo Liu stood there straight. Not only did he not dodge, but he flattered him. In his heart, he looked down on Zhuo Liu: "I am Luo Qing, a disciple from Changshan. I have stayed in the Imperial Master's Mansion for a few days, but I did not like the atmosphere there, so I left to find another wise master."

Zhuo Liu nodded, ran back to Helian Chi, and whispered, "He is a chivalrous man with a high spirit and an arrogant temperament. He said he wanted to find another place."

Helian Chi glanced at Luo Qing again and raised his lips: "Indeed, he is a proud person, but I don't know how good his martial arts are."

Zhuo Liu rubbed his hands, eager to give it a try: "Your Highness, I am willing to give it a try."

"No need." Helian Chi stopped Zhuo Liu, a faint arc appeared on the corner of his lips, "This palace has no shortage of reckless men who only know how to use force."

Zhuo Liu: "Master, you say that I am a reckless man?"

"Not really. You have brains now and then."

Zhuo Liu: "...Thank you, Master."

Luo Qing originally stood proudly on the steps, waiting for Helian Chi to send Zhuo Liu to invite him to be his aide and realize his ambitions, but the two chatted a few words from time to time and did not pay attention to him.

Luo Qing couldn't stand the cold treatment, so he left with his bag, brushing shoulders with the servants of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He showed contempt for their servility, mixed with an arrogance he had never noticed before.

A chivalrous man will not associate with servile people.

Luo Qing thought so.

Little did he know that after Luo Qing left, the servants whom he looked down upon whispered to each other, also looking down on his self-righteousness.

The gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion opened again.

The chief general Helian Chi was invited to the main hall and served tea: "The young master and the young lady are arguing, please wait a moment, Your Highness."

"Fight? What's it about?" Helian Chi put down the things that were sent to him, holding the teacup, and looked very interested.

"The young master wanted to collect the young lady's notebook, but the young lady tore his robe. The young lady said that the young master's clothes were of poor quality. The young master said that he would fine the young lady next month's salary. The young lady didn't want to do it, so she tore the young master's robe again. The young master's outer robe was torn, so he chased the young lady in his inner clothes and wanted to beat her up."

Helian Chi remained calm and listened to Chang Zuo's long and terrible statement: "Is the Imperial Master beating Xiao Yu'er?"

"There was no real fight." Chang Zuo recalled, "The young lady ran forward like a big rat, and the young master walked quickly with all his might. Oh, and the young master's expression did not change at all, as if he had just jumped out of a grave! The young lady was the gravedigger!"

Helian Chi hurriedly pressed the teacup against the curve of his lips. He was afraid that if he laughed out loud he would be kicked out.

He took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "What did the young man who was just released from the mansion do wrong?"

Chang Zuo replied, "He insulted Chang An innocently, and the young lady was not happy about it. The young master asked him to apologize to Chang An, but he refused and left the mansion on his own initiative. The young master gave him fifty taels of silver to keep him safe."

Helian Chi reluctantly listened to Chang Zuo finish his words: "I think he is a chivalrous man who is as proud as the plum blossom and the snow."

"Who is Mei Aoxue?" Chang Zuo wondered, "Is she also good at martial arts?"

Helian Chi: "..."

Fool!

Zhuo Liu laughed: "Master Chang Zuo, Ru Mei Aoxue is praising him for his pride."

Helian Chi raised the teacup again: The pot calling the kettle black!
