Chapter 668 Carousel
Compared to the wealthy and peaceful Shuzhou City, Liangzhou City, located in the far north, was not very prosperous. Moreover, when the war broke out, many people in the city fled, making this border city no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
But it is the capital of a state after all, so no matter how decadent it is, there are still many lively places in the city.
At this moment, a man and a woman appeared in a busy market in the west of the city.
The woman has a pretty face and is at the age of blooming beauty.
The man had an ordinary appearance and looked a little gloomy in his black clothes.
Although the two walked side by side on the street, they felt a little strange.
Or it could be said that the man was intentionally keeping a distance from the woman and just walked with his head down without looking around.
The woman became more lively, looking around as she walked, with a very relaxed expression.
"Mr. Tang, how many secret sentries do you think are around us?"
Turning his head to look at Tang Chen, Li Zimu asked softly: "Can you tell where they are hiding?"
"I have no idea."
Tang Chen shook his head, his eyes fell on a few pedestrians not far away, and then he retracted his gaze: "Anyway, there will definitely be no less."
"Haha, you're pretty awesome."
Li Zimu followed his gaze and immediately praised with a smile, "You found three in one go."
“.”
After taking a look at Li Zimu, Tang Chen obviously had no interest in joking with her and just sighed helplessly.
"Hey, Miss Li, where are you taking me?"
"I'm not going anywhere, just wandering around."
Li Zimu blinked and said, "Mr. Tang, have you never done this with other women before?"
"No, I have been in the mountain gate since I was young."
Tang Chen shut up halfway through his words, stopped walking and said warily: "You are trying to trick me."
"Tsk, what's there to hide about that?"
Li Zimu curled his lips and said casually, "You are a disciple of Guigu Sect. You were always frustrated before, but after joining the army, you immediately made great contributions. Then you were promoted by Yan Huanwen and Yan Huaiqing. In just half a month, your official position was promoted three levels."
"These things are not difficult to find out. I knew it last night."
"you"
Tang Chen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after his secrets were exposed like this.
He held it in for a long while before silently asking:
"What about you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"What are your backgrounds? You are obviously of high status, but why didn't Dajue have any information about you?"
"Oh, this one."
Li Zimu answered casually, "Because I have only been with Master Wei for less than two months."
"Less than two months?"
Tang Chen's eyes froze for a moment, and he nodded meaningfully: "Then it seems that you must have some extraordinary abilities."
"That's for sure."
Li Zimu was not modest either, he smiled and moved closer: "Mr. Tang, do you want to know what my ability is?"
"What is it?"
Tang Chen's questioning was a little urgent, revealing his tense mood at the moment.
But Li Zimu smiled and shook his head without answering.
She just suddenly stopped a vendor selling candied haws and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how are they?"
"Girl, these sugar balls are five cents a string."
"Then I want two skewers. Give me the big ones!"
"Okay!"
“.”
Taking out a small purse and handing over ten cents, Li Zimu quickly took two strings of crystal clear candied haws from the vendor in front of Tang Chen's slightly surprised eyes.
"Here, this is for you."
She held a string in front of Tang Chen, who hesitated for a while and took it, but did not take a bite.
"Why? Have you never eaten it before?"
Li Zimu had already bitten a hawthorn in his mouth and spoke a little unclearly: "Or are you afraid that I have poisoned you and you dare not eat it?"
"Oh, it's not poisonous! Try it!"
“.”
Li Zimu ate while urging Tang Chen to eat as well. Her slightly puffed cheeks looked quite cute.
And after a moment, Tang Chen actually raised the candied haws to his mouth and took a bite.
“Is it delicious?”
On the other side, Li Zimu asked with some anticipation.
"It's OK."
Tang Chen nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
The sun is warm and passers-by are hurrying by.
A man and a woman were standing on the street eating snacks that only children would eat.
To be honest, the two of them look a little childish now, especially Tang Chen. He doesn't look like a disciple from the Guigu Sect, a sect that is extremely good at manipulating people's hearts.
And it seemed very strange that Li Zimu used such a "green" way to get along with him.
After all, this doesn't look like an "interrogation" at all, but rather more like "making friends" or even "flirting".
Therefore, the secret sentries who were hiding around the two people and saw this scene were a little confused and didn't know what Li Zimu was doing.
However, there is a saying from her past life that may explain her current behavior -
If she is inexperienced, take her to see the world; if she is worldly-wise, take her to ride the carousel.
Although this sentence in the previous life was about how to pick up girls, it is also applicable to men.
It is obvious that Li Zimu is now taking Tang Chen on a "merry-go-round".
“.”
"Mr. Tang, are we friends now?"
In the sunlight, Li Zimu's eyes sparkled.
She looked at Tang Chen who was stunned, and said sincerely: "Now Young Master Wei and your Highness have reached a peace agreement, and the two countries are no longer enemies."
"If that's the case, then we can be friends, right?"
"At least, that's what I sincerely think."
"By the way, can't you read minds?"
"Then if you read my heart, wouldn't you know whether I am sincere or not?"
“.”
Holding the candied haws, Li Zimu looked into Tang Chen's eyes without dodging.
The latter didn't dare to look at her, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
Although all of Tang Chen's main meridians had been sealed by Liang Zhen, he could not mobilize any internal energy.
But it can still be done with the help of the tapir's magical powers.
So he could actually immediately judge whether what Li Zimu said was true or false.
However, after several breaths passed, he still didn't do it.
This was the second time that Tang Chen chose not to use his mind-reading skills when he needed to.
The last time was when he was facing his mentor who raised him since he was a child. Reading minds.
Such magical powers are indeed very powerful.
But “knowing people’s thoughts” is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.
The reason may be the same as why Wei Changtian was unwilling to give puppet pills to Xu Qingwan, Ning Yuke, Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, and even Zhang San, Li Yang and others.
Given the identities of these people, if any one of them rebels, the consequences will be very serious.
So if Wei Changtian was absolutely rational, he should give them all the Puppet Pill.
But no one is absolutely rational.
Regardless of whether they are good or bad, noble or wicked, everyone should have a few such closest people who can enable them to make choices beyond rationality.
For Tang Chen, he had only one master before.
But now, staring blankly at Li Zimu, Tang Chen didn't know why he had not summoned the tapir and performed his mind-reading skill.
When the former saw that he didn't respond, he turned around with a smile and walked towards a teahouse not far ahead.
"Mr. Tang, let's go!"
"I'll treat you to tea!"
