The two sat down in Wu Mei's palace, and Lian Tie respectfully gave the tea to Li Zhi and put it in a convenient place, and then served tea to Wu Mei.

Li Zhi took the same small wooden box as Li Hong gave him on the desk, opened it and took out the crystal card inside, the phoenix on it was graceful and vivid, and the blue flame was faintly circulating and flying on the surface of the phoenix.

Li Zhi looked at the gilded phoenix bird pattern six-song silver plate on the table on the side again, and couldn't help sighing and said: "The things in this world are afraid of comparison, look, the auspiciousness that Hong'er gave you is compared with the phoenix on the gilded phoenix bird pattern, but the world is different, it is rare that he still has this filial piety, and knows to honor this good thing to you." ”

Wu Mei also looked at the crystal phoenix card in Li Zhi's hand and said: "But no, after opening it last night, it really scared the concubine, I don't know how he got such a beautiful thing, it looks even better under the light, and the concubine put it next to the pillow when she slept last night." ”

"Then why doesn't the queen wear it on her like I do? Is it reluctant? Li Zhi smiled and handed the phoenix card to Wu Mei and asked.

Wu Mei took it and stroked the phoenix texture on it with her hand, and said lovingly: "It's too precious, think about the Linglong Pagoda that he shattered in the Linhu Hall that day, no wonder Hong'er can't look at it, it's just ...... Why did he know about such a crystal clear treasure? ”

"Isn't it often rumored in the palace that Hong'er is a Wenqu star? And no matter why he knows this, I'm afraid he won't tell you the truth even if he asks him. Li Zhi admired the burning bun as he spoke, and the crystal dragon card on his waist pretended to remember something important, and blurted out: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about business." ”

Wu Mei saw Li Zhi's innocent and pretending to be serious expression, and her heart suddenly became alarmed, this expression has not been seen for nearly a month, but as long as this expression appears every time, the next speech is definitely related to Li Hong, and nine times out of ten times it is to intercede for Li Hong.

Wu Mei's coquettish face as bathed in the spring breeze immediately became expressionless, her jade-like white brows were full of black lines, and she stared at Li Zhi on the side without speaking, she wanted to see what kind of moth Li Hong could toss out if he was not in the palace.

Li Zhi was stunned by Wu Mei's silence, but his eyes full of anger were a little uncomfortable, he twisted his body, and asked confidently, "Why is the queen staring at me so much?" ”

"Say it, Your Majesty, the concubine has endured it, and she has been hit and tortured by your father and son many times in the past few years. You say, what's wrong with the monkey? Wu Mei clenched her fists back and forth, and Li Hong was giggling and smiling in front of her.

At this moment, she longed for Li Hong to be in front of her, seeing his father's expression like this, Wu Mei felt that she could be completely indiscriminate, not asking about right and wrong, first drag the leather monkey to her and beat him hard, and then it was not too late to ask anything! This is all the experience she has summed up in the past two years.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei's expression like this, and his original intention of interceding for Li Hong was suddenly left behind, and he still wanted to sleep here tonight, if he said it, he was afraid that he would be kicked out.

So Hehe laughed twice, took out a note from his sleeve pocket with one hand and handed it to Wu Mei.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, who was weak-hearted, vigilantly, and then looked at the note handed over, a bad premonition suddenly filled her heart, does the skin monkey still have to go crazy outside for a while?

took the note and unfolded it, only to see that it was very simple to say: "Twenty engraved auspicious crystal cards, half a month off!" ”

"Gone?" Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi.

"It's gone."

"Approved?"

"Quasi-...... Finish. ”

"You...... You, twenty dollars will buy you? You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can you be like this? Wu Mei teased the embarrassed Li Zhi, and her heart was already trembling with Li Hong's note, and her face was full of frost! I thought in my mind that when Li Hong came back, I should clean him up so ruthlessly!

Li Hong, who was in King Pu's mansion, didn't know that his little ass had been targeted by the queen mother. At this time, he was in high spirits and pointed out the country, took Lanling and Chengyang to visit the workshop behind, and also showed the two of them the market value of this crystal card.

In the end, Chengyang and Lanling each invested 20,000 yuan in Li Hong's workshop, and allowed the two of them to open a shop and sell it, and each of them accounted for 10% of the shares.

Chengyang and Lanling knew that this was Li Hong's help in disguise, although they were princesses, but since Taizong's death, they were not as rich in money as they were at that time.

A mansion the size of a princess's mansion, as well as the house slaves and others in the fiefdom, all need a lot of money to take care of, and they can still cope with it now, but it is difficult to guarantee that in a few years, they will become strapped and unable to cope with such a large expense.

At this time, Li Hong was like a charcoal in the snow, nominally asking them to invest 20,000 yuan each, but in fact, this money did not need to be paid by them, but slowly deducted from their initial share, which was equivalent to waiting for Li Hong to earn enough 40,000 yuan, and they could sit on the ground and share the spoils.

The two of them were very moved by Li Hong, but they didn't know that Li Hong also used the sales channel of the rouge gouache shop in their hands in vain.

After sending off Lanling and Chengyang, the sun was about to sink in the west, Li Hong looked at the two carriages with great satisfaction, no matter what, there was only so much he could help, as for his other aunt Xincheng, it would be good to give a share after a while.

Li Hong's next thing is to continue to play happily in Chang'an City for a few days, and promise his father the twenty crystal cards, which have already been explained to the two of them, and half a month is enough time to make them, as for what to carve, Li Hong let them take their own ideas, anyway, it is for the royal use, or it is intended to be given to the father and the emperor for him to use to reward the courtiers, auspicious, festive and cheerful.

As soon as he returned to his palace, he saw Mang Chong's solemn expression, and he hurriedly ran over: "Acting king, Bai Lu is gone." ”

"Gone? When? The palace has already received the Buddha card she sent, look for it in the house, she likes embroidery, see if she runs again, and teaches the maids in the house to embroider. Li Hong said lightly.

"The king of the Hui Dynasty is ...... I searched all over the house, and I also asked the general at the door, and I haven't come back since I went out last night. Mangzhong looked nervous and said nervously.

"What? Haven't been back since yesterday? Li Hong was taken aback, Bai Lu is not the kind of palace maid who makes her own decisions casually, she is usually well-behaved and clever, not like a person who can run away, not to mention that she is not thin to treat her.

Li Hong pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Have you found it?" Did she run away or was there some accident? ”

"I found it, and it didn't look like I had escaped without permission, but like I had been kidnapped." Mang Chong said thoughtfully.

"Hijacked? How can you be sure? Oh, by the way, shouldn't you have a special way of contacting, or a code? Li Hong's mind was quick, and it could be inferred from Mangzhong's saying that it was not like he escaped without permission, but that he was kidnapped, and they must have been looking for Bai Lu, but they didn't find it, but they found some unique marks of their Lijing Gate.

"The king of the Hui Dynasty has a code that has the remnants of white dew, but it is not very complete, intermittent, and it is impossible to determine where it was lost and where it was hijacked?"

"Did you leave Chang'an City?"

"Nope." Mang Chong said firmly: "The code began to appear in Taipingfang, and then disappeared after it reached the gap between Daodao and Datongfang, and no more codes were found. ”

Li Hong walked out of the house, sat down on the steps, looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, dyed half of the sky red, and thought: "In this way, it is impossible for Bai Lu to come out of Chengtianmen, so it will be far away from here, Hanguang Gate faces Taipingfang across the street, that is, it was hijacked not far from Hanguang Gate?" ”

"Yes, the king, the slave and maid judge the same."

"Well, otherwise, your code will not continue to appear after our Yankang Fang. Daodao, Datongfang is not far from Chang'an City, have you checked it, or have you found a code outside the city? Li Hong said as he walked out.

This is not a trivial matter, the four palace maids and the four eunuchs around him are all strong martial arts people, otherwise they would not have been assigned to him by the queen mother, and he has been out of the palace for a long time, whether the father or the queen mother did not send more people to him, he obviously has confidence in these eight people.

A young woman who knows martial arts was robbed, obviously not an ordinary person can do it, it must be organized and premeditated, but she has not offended anyone.

The other seven people followed behind Li Hong, and after leaving the Pu Wang's Mansion, they began to look for clues on the street, and according to the place where Mangzhong found the code, the seven people wandered around the bustling streets of Chang'an City, looking for suspicious people and things.

Hua Meng, Cheetah, Shock, and Mangzhong formed a small circle, holding Li Hong's summer solstice and Xiaoxue and Xiaohan on both sides of the protection in the middle, in case of accidents.

Mang Chong walked ahead, looking for the code found today, while explaining the uniqueness of the code to Li Hong.

The seven people unconsciously walked to Datong where the code disappeared, and there is a wide street between the two squares, Datong is on the left, morality is on the right, and there is a Feng'an square on the left side of morality next to the street.

Standing on the wide road, Mangzhong pointed out that after arriving here, there would be no clues, and then three squares further on, it was the city wall of Chang'an City.

Li Hong looked thoughtfully at Datong Fang and Feng'an Fang, which was close to Daode Fang, shaking his head from time to time with his index finger in his mouth, and the others saw that the acting king was thinking, and no one dared to come forward to disturb.

"Give up the clues of Datong, go in from Feng'an Fang, and see what people are around Daode Fang." Li Hong frowned.

Chang'an, as the largest city in the Tang Dynasty, is the largest city in the world, with a population approaching one million, and it is really difficult to find a person. And he doesn't dare to report to the official now, if he reports to the official, in case a small thing becomes a big thing, the queen mother will know that she will definitely be the consequence of the blossoming of her ass.

What's more, it is only three squares away from the city wall, and there are many Taoist temples and temples, and the floating population is complicated, so it may be very easy to take a person out of the city. Li Hong held the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and commanded a few people to go to the moral workshop, but he couldn't find what to do, and he didn't think about it now.
