Chapter Eighty-Seven: Transactions
In the carriage, the incense burner was still spitting light smoke, and the king of Tanglin was dressed in a white shirt, wrapped in a short jacket, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a fair complexion and a little red, as if painted with the rouge pastel of the girl's house.

Putting down the peiyu on his waist who was fiddling, the king of Tanglin pointed to the empty futon placed opposite the low desk in front of him and said, "Sit down, count carefully, but I haven't seen the two talented people for some days." ”
Where did Liu Xi and Ma Xiu dare to sit, although the carriage was much more spacious than ordinary carriages, it was not a matter of standing down, and they had to sit on the futon with half a buttocks.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this king's body is sick and cold, and I often hear those who complain about the unbearable heat, but I don't know that this king is really envious of this, after all, wearing a jacket is not comparable to those of you who change your own clothes."
The king of Tanglin said with a smile, but Liu Xi noticed a rare look of loneliness flashing in his eyes, this loneliness made him feel a little sour, and suddenly, he understood a sentence.
Fall into the prosperity of a lifetime, turn around, peach blossoms, premature death, no green silk.
Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even if he is in a high position, there are always some things that you envy but can't get after all.
After sighing a little, Liu Xi opened his mouth and said, "The prince has to take care of his body when he works hard for state affairs." ”
"State affairs are the work of my saint, and this king is an idle man, how can he do those thankless and disturbing things?"
King Tanglin shook his head with a smile, and then said, "But recently there was an incident that made this king sleep, a few days ago, the saint drove to this king's mansion with nothing to do, but he met an assassin on the way. Although nothing happened to the Holy One, the king felt extremely guilty and was determined to arrest the assassin. ”
Hearing this, Ma Xiu's hand holding the thin fan had a little more strength, but Liu Xi was suddenly shocked in his heart, King Tanglin would never have said these words when he was bored in the palace, and he must have another intention later.
Could it be that the news has leaked?
Liu Xi only felt that the hairs on his back were standing up, but at the moment, he must not be able to tell the truth, and only pretending to be crazy and stupid is the best strategy.
After making up his mind, Liu Xi was very surprised and said, "There is such a thing, Xiao Xiao is so bold, he should be killed!" ”
"Oh?"
The corner of the Tanglin King's mouth grinned, "It is indeed a punishment, but this assassin is very cunning, and Jialing City has searched for several days, but she has not been found." By the way, speaking of this person, you have also seen it, especially Yusheng, you were her guest at the beginning, how many others are envious of this kind of Yanfu! ”
"Poof!"
Gasping incredibly, Liu Xi suddenly stood up from the bedding and hit his head on the roof of the carriage, but he didn't know it, and his words changed because of trembling, "The prince is talking about the girl of Huaweiyang in Yuexinlou?" ”
Seeing Liu Xi make such a panicked look, Ma Xiu beside him couldn't help but admire, but the King of Tanglin just glanced at him, and continued with a smile, "I heard that you have a cousin at home?" ”
Such trivial things also came to the ears of the prince, which made the prince bother. Liu Xi's cousin was miserable since she was a child because her face was different from ordinary people, so she came to take refuge in her students. ”
After Liu Xi finished saying this, the king of Tanglin did not speak, and the carriage fell silent, and the low chirping of several summer insects could be heard in his ears.
"I heard that your cousin is from Fenzhou, that's a coincidence, Fang Wenhai, who went to your house before, is also from Fenzhou."
Speaking of this, King Tanglin stopped, but Liu Xi felt that his heart was in turmoil, it turned out that it was seamless in his eyes, but it had already been noticed by others.
What should I do?
"Are you sure that's your cousin? You may not have seen each other in years, and you don't know each other anymore. ”
Just when Liu Xi was panicking, he heard the Tanglin King say something again, and at this time, he understood the reason why the Tanglin King summoned the two of them tonight.
It's just that why the King of Tanglin wants to protect him, Liu Xi can't figure it out.
Right now, the black-clothed man driving is nowhere to be found, no need to guess, Liu Xi can also know that he went to the small courtyard, thinking of Hua Weiyang who met in Pingshui, he can only sigh secretly.
There is no other way but to lose the car to protect the handsome.
"Listening to what the prince said, my cousin has some behaviors that are different from when she was a child, and Liu Xi thought that she was ignorant back then, so she remembered it wrong."
"The years pass quietly, between people, who can remember ...... clearly"
King Tanglin sighed, and played with Peiyu on his waist again, with a little sadness in his expression, so that Liu Xi and Ma Xiu, who were still nervous, didn't know what to do for a while, and looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, after coming back to his senses, King Tanglin smiled and said, "Hehe, there is something I almost forgot about ......"
"The prince can do whatever he wants."
Liu Xi said in a low voice, the king of Tanglin knew that he was hiding Hua Weiyang, but he did not send troops to come, obviously he didn't want to pursue him.
However, if you don't want to pursue this, there must be something else after that, otherwise, why would the dignified Prince Li Tang cover it up for him?
His mind was raised, and Liu Xi never felt that someone could do it like the sick and weak King of Tanglin in front of him, which made him sit still.
"I, the Tang Dynasty, govern the country with benevolence, and the saint is even more open and talented, recruiting talented people, you are both full of wealth, but it is a pity that the saint has issued a holy decree that my dynasty will no longer confer officials and knights on the children of the sect in the future."
As he spoke, King Tanglin looked at Ma Xiu and pointed to the thin fan in his hand, "Today, this fan of yours is not suitable for my Datang." ”
Ma Xiu's face changed suddenly, even if the king of Tanglin pointed out in secret just now that they were covering Hua Weiyang, he did not lose his color like this.
Tang Huang didn't let Ma Xiu participate in the scientific examination, how could he recruit him as a county horse and marry him and the county lord Shurou?
Liu Xi was also panicked, these days, Ma Xiu has been tirelessly reading and practicing calligraphy every day, just to enter Li Tang and get closer to the lord of Shurou, so as to achieve a marriage.
But now that the king of Tanglin said these words, Ma Xiu's face was terrifying, and his hands were even more clenched.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xi's eyes were full of unbearable color, the Li Tang royal family did not accept the children of the sect, but he forcibly broke off his idea of becoming more and more rooted in the past few days, and at this moment Ma Xiu was not crazy, it was a great luck.
"The saint said that he had previously named you Xiucai, so he couldn't save face to do this. Today, there is no grass at the end of the world, and marriage is the most difficult thing in the world to understand. You and Shurou may just be a deliberate encounter with God. ”
The king of Tanglin said softly, with a little more bitterness in his words, looking down at the jade pendant on his waist, and his hand gently brushed on the Big Dipper, as if with a tenderness that could not be dissolved.
His eyes were full of red, as if they were about to crack, the teeth in Ma Xiu's mouth were gnashing, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were visible.
For a long time, I could only hear him humming, "The grass people take orders." ”
Later, getting up and bowing to the king of Tanglin, Ma Xiu got out of the car straight, and Liu Xi, who fell behind him, was about to say a rude excuse for him, but the king of Tanglin waved his hand, "Go, at this moment, why should this king care about false courtesy." ”
Still saluting, Liu Xi hurried over, and the king of Tanglin who was still gently playing jade pendants was left in the car.
"Lord Wang, she's not here."
The man in black who was driving the car floated in and whispered outside the car.
With frowning brows, King Tanglin said in surprise, "Not here?" ”
"My subordinates have investigated inside and out, but they are indeed not there."
"Order the city gate to continue to be blocked, so that people who come and go can be checked, the curfew is an hour in advance, and those who see suspicious people will be arrested immediately, and if there are those who resist, they will be killed."
"Yes!"
The man in black who was driving answered the order, and then went to the side to explain to the other men in black, and after these people left, he got into the carriage again, pulled the reins, and the horse that was swinging its tail neighed a few times, and the sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and walked towards the east of the city.
Leaning on the carriage, King Tanglin rubbed his forehead, and his face was tired, "I actually ran away again, how many people have a headache now?" ”
After a while, he looked up at the empty futon, and said in a low voice, "Seventh brother, the person you fancy will really cause trouble, and I don't know how you will thank ......me in the future."
