Chapter 21 Cooperation
Most of the pedestrians, cars, horses, sedan chairs in Tsing Yi, peddlers and pawns on the road are busy running for life. Of course, the little emperor Li Zhen and the chief manager Feng An were an exception, and the two of them were leisurely pacing on the road one after the other.
"Feng An, do you say there is anything lively in Chang'an recently?" Li Zhen walked on Baihu Street and looked at the surging crowd left and right, after all, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Back to Gongzi, the old slave heard that the snacks on White Tiger Street are unique on weekdays." After leaving the palace, Li Zhen repeatedly told Feng An not to make a mistake about the title, so Feng An called the little emperor "Gongzi".
"Oh! I'm tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and today my son also went to try this folk street food. Li Zhen is a little curious about the people's food.
"There's no new snack......"
Looking at the stalls on the street, Li Zhen held his forehead and said with some distress. The little emperor was a little excited. Some of the people have eaten at the palace until now.
"Feng An, go back." Li Zhen walked around for another distance, and the corner of Baihu Street was really a little remote, so he said disappointedly.
"No."
At the same time, when the little emperor Li Zhen and the chief manager Feng An were going back and forth to the palace from Baihu Street, Ding Yao was rushing to the rouge shop, because the store was understaffed, so Ding Yao personally went to send rouge to the girl in Cuiying Building. As a result, when she arrived at Cuiying Building, she found that there were two missing fat powders, so the little girl apologized to others and hurriedly rushed back to the store to pick up the goods.
"Feng An, what's been going on on Seventh Uncle's side lately?" Li Zhen suddenly asked Feng An on the way to and from the palace.
"Hui Gongzi, he is still as leisurely and leisurely as usual, except for painting in the mansion, the seventh master has no other actions, and he doesn't even go out of the gate of his own palace on weekdays." Feng An replied.
"Isn't this like the rumored Seventh Uncle a few years ago?!" Li Zhen was a little surprised.
"That's what Childe said." Feng Anke, the chief supervisor of ceremonies, didn't dare to get involved in royal affairs, no matter how much he was favored in front of the little emperor, he didn't dare!
"Catch him!" Just when the little emperor was talking to the chief celebrant supervisor, the two of them suddenly shouted out in front of them.
A beggar with a burden in his arms rushed towards the little emperor. Seeing this, Feng An hurriedly rushed to each other in front of Li Zhen, but fortunately, the crowd chasing behind the beggar pounced one by one, throwing the beggar to the ground. Immediately, those behind him also caught up and restrained the beggar. Seeing that the figure that suddenly rushed over had been restrained, Feng An also relieved himself and turned around and continued to follow behind Li Zhen.
"This is what I picked up, it's none of my business." The beggar clung to his burden and shouted and screamed.
"Even if you pick up this thing, it's a crime to kill your head." The man who had knocked down the beggar before said, and saw that the man was dressed in black armor, which was the clothing of the forbidden army.
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!" The beggar cried out and threw out the burden he was carrying.
The burden flew into the air, and the small objects in the burden were scattered in the air to all sides, and it happened to smash into the little emperor, and the chief manager Feng An relaxed his vigilance against the beggar because he saw that the person had been subdued by the forbidden army. In the face of the beggar's sudden throwing, he didn't react for a while.
The flying black object smashed into Li Zhen's head, the little emperor's reaction was not bad, a dodge just scratched a little skin and it was not a big deal, the only disadvantage was that the object was rubbed against his face.
"Master?!" Seeing this, Feng An seemed to be scared to death, and hurriedly stood in front of the little emperor again, shouting with his back to the little emperor.
"It's fine." Li Zhen rubbed the wound with his fingers, and then looked at the object that hit him, which was actually the Tiger Talisman Token that was spread some time ago.
The previous group of forbidden soldiers hurriedly collected the scattered tiger talismans in their baggage, and Li Zhen watched the movements of the forbidden soldiers and did not stop them.
"Master, you have to find a doctor to take a look at the wound on your face." Although Li Zhen only scratched a little skin, the Ninety-Five Honor, let alone injured on weekdays, even with sharp things, Feng An didn't dare to put it in front of Li Zhen's eyes.
"The book of the military department is really interesting. It's been so long, and this matter hasn't been resolved. Li Zhen sneered, ignoring Feng An's words.
Li Zhen didn't care about the wound, but Feng An didn't dare not care, and hurriedly pulled out a little girl from the crowd of onlookers and asked the nearby medical center. Ding Yao was in a hurry to rush back to the store to make up for the fat powder for the girl in Cuiying Building, after all, the most important thing in a store is credit, but she didn't expect that the road was blocked by the crowd of onlookers who arrested beggars by the forbidden army, and as soon as she squeezed out, she was pulled by an old man dressed in luxury and asked the nearby medical center.
Ding Yao saw that the other party's age was no longer young, so he hurriedly asked, "Old man, are you uncomfortable there?" ”
Feng An hurriedly waved his hand: "This girl, my young master was injured!" Can you tell me where the nearest clinic is? ”
Ding Yao looked at Li Zhen beside Feng An, and saw that the other party was just scratching a little skin, and he was not worried about his life, so he frowned and said: "Then you have to send it to the hospital quickly, or later, the wound will heal!" ”
Li Zhen didn't care about the wound, he wasn't so squeamish. was about to wave his hand and leave here, but suddenly heard the strange girl in front of him sarcastically mock him, and he almost didn't come up in a breath.
"You ....." Li Zhen's face was flushed and he didn't know what to refute, because he didn't say anything to stop him when he said he was going to the hospital before, and he couldn't say anything at this time. Secretly "hummed" and brushed his sleeves away, and Feng An also chased after him.
"It's such a big person, it's just a little bit of skin, and I still have to go to the doctor." Ding Yao complained behind Li Zhen, who turned to leave.
Li Zhen, who was not far away, could hear this sentence, and his steps suddenly stumbled, he planned to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a calming prescription after returning to the palace, otherwise he would really be angry with this little girl's two sarcasm.
"Feng An, ask Ge Zhongshu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to enter the palace to see me." The little emperor needs to find a punching bag.
"No." Feng An replied cautiously.

"You're alone?" Hai Wuxian asked at Tang Xunyi. Originally, he was recuperating from his injuries in the yamen of the county government, but suddenly the sweeping boy of the government office handed him a letter of paper, saying that he wanted to come to the blacksmith shop not far from the old locust tree to talk.
"You don't have to be so careful with me alone, I just want to talk to you." Tang Xunyi saw that the other party was looking around, and explained with some cautious movements.
"Talk? The last time I wanted to talk to someone, I almost went to heaven. Hai Wuxian saw that there really didn't look like there was any ambush around, and there were still servants searching for the ruins of the blacksmith shop not far away, so he didn't have to worry about what the other party was doing.
"Indeed, my brother went a little too far last time, and I apologize to you here on his behalf. The second is that I want to talk to you about our cooperation. Tang Xunyi hugged his fist at Hai Wuxian and bowed to apologize.
"Cooperation? How can I, a Governor of the Pacification Division, cooperate with you and a gang of fugitives? Besides, why do I have to cooperate with you? ”
"Don't be so direct, the purpose of the Zhenfu Division to hunt us down is nothing more than the treasure, we can tell the Haifu head your clues about the treasure, but some time ago, Brother Cai used gunpowder to ambush the Hai Zhutou, I believe it has reached the capital, and the Zhenfu Division will soon send some more people here. We want to exchange the clues of the treasure for the freedom of the two of us. ”
"Treasure?" Hai Wuxian had never heard of any treasures, Yan Chong just asked him to hunt down the fugitives from the Blood Prison when he was in Luoyang, and didn't say much, could there be anything he didn't know about? So he asked: "Then you can just go to the court and tell the treasure clues, why are you looking for me to make a deal!" ”
"The sea catcher is wrong! At the beginning, you and I were both prisoners of the Blood Prison, if we handed over the clues to them, this matter would be closed, why did Cai Xiahe and I have to escape from the Blood Prison. Besides, the people of the White Lotus Sect want to find me and Cai Xiahe. Rather than letting someone who doesn't know how to follow get clues, it's better to make a deal with Brother Hai, the anti-army descendant, to be safe. Tang Xunyi explained.
After hearing the rebellion, Hai Wuxian knew that the other party had found out his details, so he moved to kill the person in front of him: "Then you can also disappear here." ”
"That's why I came alone." I heard Hai Wuxian's words in a foreign language. Tang Xunyi smiled faintly.
"It's really alert, a person came over to talk about the conditions, if I really killed him, Cai Xiahe is afraid that he will immediately spread the news that you told me the location of the treasure, right?" Hai Wuxian heard the other party's words and immediately reacted.
"How? Do you want to cooperate? Although I don't know who your target is and can keep you in the blood prison for six years, as long as you have the bargaining chips of the treasure clues, I believe that the plan of the sea catcher will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. And all we want is freedom in incognito. ”
"The head of the sea catcher should pay attention, the person sent by the Zhenfu Division may already be on the way, and the White Lotus Sect probably won't let the imperial court find the treasure, and you and I are running out of time." Tang Xun saw that Hai Wuxian was a little hesitant, so he urged.
"Good! Deal. Hai Wuxian is not hesitating, it is true that there is not much time left as Tang Xunyi said.
"What's your plan?" Now that the decision has been made, Hai Wuxian must be foolproof.
Hearing Hai Wuxian's decision, Tang Xunyi also breathed a sigh of relief. This is their only chance, in case Hai Wuxian doesn't agree, then he and Cai Xiahe can only fight against the water.
"The plan is very simple, when the Zhenfu Division sends someone, I only need to assist me and others, and let that person witness me and Cai Xiahe's fake death, and I have already arranged everything in the future. The specific details still depend on the arrival of the Wei Yong faction, and then notify the sea catcher. Tang Xunyi told Hai Wuxian about his and Cai Xiahe's plans.
"The trick of fake death can only be shelled from the hands of the imperial court, and the people of the White Lotus Sect may not easily believe it." Hai Wuxian was a little worried about the cult.
"Don't worry, the plan to escape from here will definitely be believed by the people of the White Lotus Sect." Tang Xunzhi assured.
