Seeing Shi Zairong lying in tattered clothes in the middle of the road, passersby thought he must be a pitiful person and asked with concern, "Hey young man, are you okay? Do you want me to help you up?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Shi Zairong said as he stood up quickly, patted his butt and walked away quickly.
Passersby said: "He was just screaming on the ground, how come he is running so fast now? What a weirdo."
After Tang Chen and the other man took the beautiful jade that had been sent down for the master to carve, they had just reached the town entrance and were about to take the path back to the palace. They were talking about the man who had just fallen to the ground and was trying to scam someone when this man appeared.
"stop!"
"......" Tang Chen didn't say anything. He just glanced at Liang Shuyi, and the two smiled at each other.
Shi Zairong blocked their way and said in a rather imposing manner, "Madams, you hit someone and then you try to run away. Is there any law?"
"No," Liang Shuyi had just finished speaking when Tang Chen continued, "Qiuliang, beat him."
As soon as Qiu Liang used Flash to show up, the aggressive roadblock immediately became intimidated. He raised his hand and said righteously, "Wait a minute, you two ladies have misunderstood. I was just joking with you. I just had nothing better to do after eating!"
"Slow?" Qiu Liang glanced at Tang Chen. Tang Chen waved his hand slightly to signal him to step back first. He then extended his hand in front of the man and said, "You're kidding, right? Give it to me."
Shi Zairong quickly took several steps back and was about to run when he was stopped by the omnipresent Qiu Liang. Shi Zairong thought, maybe he had encountered a big fish this time, and then turned around and said, "...I don't have any money, but I have my life."
Liang Shuyi thought this man was just a gangster. She and Tang Chen were known for their prowess in this small town. Since this man dared to provoke her, his motives must be more than just a joke. "You look like Zhang Sheng. Maybe you're a spy who snuck in from outside. Ah Chen, I think it's better to..."
When Shi Zairong heard the name "Achen", his face changed and he interrupted hurriedly, "Wait, are you the former Princess Qingliang, Tang Chen?"
Tang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, a little interesting: "Have you heard of me?"
Shi Zairong hurriedly explained, "I've heard of it before! When I was traveling, a master gave me a spell. It's said that anyone who can answer the spell is destined to be with my people!"
At this moment, Tang Chen's mind was filled with only two sentences: odd changes, even remains unchanged, and the symbol depends on the quadrant; hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium; what a good poem, what a good poem: "Something interesting."
However, the spell cast upon Zairong wasn't ordinary language, but body language. Listening to the person before him humming a familiar tune, twirling coquettishly and dancing like a butterfly, the enchanting dance had already become addictive. As the saying goes, the Pure Land is better than dancing. Comrades, loved ones!
Liang Shuyi looked at the man twisting his body, not knowing what he was doing. He gave him a look of disdain and said, "...This man must be mentally ill."
Tang Chen rushed forward ecstatically and said, "Oh my god, this butterfly step is amazing, could you be the same?"
Shi Zairong hurriedly said: "That's right!"
However, Tang Chen's expression changed very quickly, "No, you have to dance a C哩C哩 for me again before I will believe you."
Shi Zairong sighed and said, "...Goodbye. This is totally inconsistent with my image and temperament. I refuse."
Tang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I think this guy is good-looking. Qiu Liang, pack up and take him away."
"yes."
Before they even reached the palace gate, Tang Chen was a little embarrassed to ask Liang Shuyi to go back first: "Shuyi, you go back first. I have to take people to find Wang Ruo and ask her to help check if he is one of our people."
Liang Shuyi warned: "Well, I think this guy's brain is not working very well, you should be careful and don't get hurt by him."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qiu Liang is still here."
After Qiu Liang carried the people into the house, Tang Chen, under the pretext of worrying about Liang Shuyi, asked Qiu Liang to go back and see if she had escaped safely. Tang Chen took out the dagger he carried with him and untied the ropes that had been tied to Rong. He then said bluntly, "Okay, to cut a long story short, my name is Tang Chen, and this charming sister is Wang Ruo, the twin sister of Empress Wang Zhen. If I'm right, this notice is yours, Your Excellency."
Shi Zairong stretched his wrist, which was a little sore from being tied up, and sighed, "I just sent the letter, and I didn't expect you to receive it. The black market is really powerful."
Hua Wuxin replied while making tea, "It's not that they are so powerful, it's just that you are not far from Qingliang Valley."
Shi Zairong smiled slightly and fixed his gaze on the white-haired noblewoman in front of him, who Tang Chen had told him was Wang Ruo. "I've been trying to get information on people of unknown origin like you. If the information is correct, Wang Ruo shouldn't be this old."
Hua Wuxin, with murderous intent in his eyes, knocked on the table and warned, "Young man, watch your words."
Shi Zairong quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, big boss, please forgive me!"
Wang Ruo chuckled and said, "Alright, don't scare him silly. This tea tastes good. Everyone who comes is a guest, so let's try it together."
After Hua Wuxin placed the teacup in front of Shi Yurong, he continued to repeat, "Young man, watch your words."
"Yes, my king. No problem, my king."
Seeing him so cowardly, Tang Chen couldn't help but cover his mouth and teased him: "Look at you, are you afraid of what he will do?"
Shi Zairong explained seriously, "I knew I couldn't beat him. If I rashly provoked him knowing I couldn't, wouldn't I be a fool?"
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Wang Ruo said, "Your Excellency, the Grand Tutor must be a wise man. So, why don't we speak frankly?"
Shi Zairong said seriously, "It just so happens that I'm also quite busy."
Tang Chen said, "If we met at a different time, maybe we could sit down and have a good chat. I could also play the role of a good host and show you around. But right now, I want to know your purpose in sneaking into the valley."
Shi Zairong didn't seem to worry at all about being detained by Qingliang Valley after his identity was exposed. He said bluntly, "Since you all know my identity, I won't beat around the bush with you. Obviously, I'm here to gather intelligence."
Tang Chen continued, "Since we come from the same place, we won't make things difficult for you. We will help you conceal your identity, and if necessary, we will personally escort you away."
Shi Zairong put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Then, what's the price?"
