That night.
Xu Mansion.
"Sir, these are lychees sent from Lingnan, please try them."
Zi Maid peeled open a lychee, revealing the crystal white flesh inside, and brought it to Xu Fenglei's mouth.
"Uh-huh……"
“Delicious and sweet!”
Xu Fenglei praised,
"The color of this lychee changes in one day, and the taste changes in three days."
"It's not easy to have such a good taste after being sent to Chang'an! It must have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources!"
Concubine Yang loved to eat lychees, but she asked the postman to rush 800 miles a day to deliver them!
"That's right, it's kept fresh by refrigeration. Even so, it can only stay fresh for five days at most."
Zi Maid peeled off another one, put it in Xu Fenglei's mouth, and said with a smile,
"Every time we transport it, we can only transport a little bit, and we have to kill several horses."
"The price of this one is comparable to the same weight of gold!"
Xu Fenglei almost vomited when he heard this.
Crack!
Comparable to gold?
How many golden balls did I just show off in one go?
"Can't afford it, can't afford it..."
He continued,
"I don't deserve it...who can afford this!"
Big dog owners can’t be so arrogant!
"Sir, you don't act like a prince."
Zi Maid covered her mouth and smiled,
"This thing is considered rare and valuable. Many wealthy families in Chang'an consider it fashionable to eat lychees!"
"Besides, we didn't buy this, but Princess Xiangcheng specially sent someone to deliver it. These days, a basket will be delivered every day for you to eat."
"It's free!"
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
"Qingquan?"
He murmured,
"She does have deep pockets...but where did she get them?"
The richest person in the Tang Dynasty was definitely Princess Li Qingquan of Xiangcheng who was in charge of Fenglei Bank!
No one knows how much wealth she has, and no one knows how much wealth she can leverage!
With her financial resources, it is not surprising that Li Zhi achieved freedom.
"I don't know about this slave. I just heard that Princess Xiangcheng seemed to have invested an amount of money to be a bodyguard."
Zi Mai tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said,
"It's similar to that kind of fast escort. We don't send big items, only what can be carried on horseback. We pursue timeliness."
"This lychee is one of the darts. Judging from the current situation, it should be quite profitable. People in Chang'an are flocking to it!"
Xu Fenglei: "???"
Good guy!
Qingquan actually wants to develop express delivery business in Datang? !
Don't tell me, don't tell me... This Kuailiao specializes in transporting small and valuable things, and it's really good at it!
"It seems that there are still many capable people in the Tang Dynasty! This idea is very good."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"Support! Must support!"
"Increase capital investment, I want to see if this fast escort business can develop and become bigger and stronger!"
Chiliu!
As he spoke, he ate another lychee.
There was still some psychological burden and feeling of guilt just now, but now it is completely gone...
It’s a gift anyway!
Anyway, there is my own investment in the fast escort business! If he earns money, he also earns it for himself!
"Come on, eat slowly."
"If you like it, I will say hello to Princess Xiangcheng and ask her to send another basket every day."
Seeing Xu Fenglei eating happily, Zi Maid said thoughtfully.
"No, no, no, although this stuff is delicious, it can easily cause you to get angry if you eat too much."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"That's good."
"Hey! It's so comfortable to be at home! With clothes on my back, food on my hands, and food on my hands, I can open my mouth. You don't know what kind of life I have been living outside."
"Sometimes I have to poop, and I don't even have a toilet chip! I can only find a leaf or something. Sometimes I don't even have leaves, I can only use stones..."
"That stone is so sharp! I accidentally opened your eyes!"
Zi Maid was slightly startled: "Open your eyes, what... ah! Sir, why are you so vulgar!"
She reacted immediately, blushed and couldn't help but spat at Xu Fenglei.
Don’t think too much! My face gets hot from thinking too much!
"Hey! This is all matter-of-fact, how can it be vulgar? If you have ever been out, you will know."
Xu Fenglei disagreed and said casually,
"By the way, go get me a pot of tea. I haven't had tea for a long time. Has the palace sent new tea?"
When he drinks tea, he basically does it for free.
It was either a reward from the emperor or a gift from a colleague. I have never bought it personally like this.
"Yes, the palace will send you back once every three months. Now it's summer tea."
Zi Maid responded,
"My slave, I'm going to give you a bath now."
Xu Fenglei nodded and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Only by comparison can you feel how comfortable it is to be served by someone now!
He was taking a nap when he saw Zi Maid leave and come back.
"Sir, something happened! Someone is coming from the palace. I want you to come in quickly!"
Zi Maid said hurriedly.
"Huh? What's wrong? It's already night..."
Xu Fenglei was a little surprised.
"Princess Changle is lost!" Zi Maid responded.
Xu Fenglei: "?!"
…
The Royal Palace, within the East Palace.
"Have you searched, searched everything?"
"I've searched them all! There's no sign of her! Oh, this girl... what the hell does she want to do! Didn't I already promise that she won't get married!"
"But she doesn't know!"
"Look again! Look again! Find her for me! She can't run away! This is going against the grain!"
"..."
Before leaving the hall, I heard Li Shimin roaring there, obviously very angry!
"Lizhi ran away from home?"
Xu Fenglei quickly stepped into the hall and asked directly without even having time to salute.
"Listen Ming, you are finally here!"
Changsun Wugou said with a worried look,
"Look, look!"
"When Li Zhi left after the quarrel today, I noticed that she was not in the right mood. I thought she was unhappy and went back to her palace to sulk."
"But when I went to talk to her at night, she...she disappeared! Only a letter was left to say goodbye to us!"
"You... look at it quickly!"
Xu Fenglei: "???"
bid farewell?
What is this for? What a runaway from home!
How can one escape from this heavily guarded palace? What a fuss!
He quickly took the letter, and when he looked at it, his face became darker and darker.
"Going to the Qinling Mountains to collect medicine? Is she alone?"
Xu Fenglei said with a speechless expression,
"Isn't this nonsense! As a little girl, she is considered good if she can escape from the palace! She can't even get out of Chang'an City! Are you going to Qinling Mountains?"
"It would be nice not to be attacked by wild beasts or targeted by gangsters along the way! We are also collecting medicine!"
"This must be a pity statement..."
This beauty is so capable!
In the Qinling Mountains, even he would not dare to enter without Sun Simiao protecting him!
The snakes, insects, rats, ants, beasts and so on inside can pounce on you at will and kill people!
"It must be out of anger! He deliberately wants to make us angry!"
Li Shimin said angrily,
"I've already planned to compromise, what else does she want? Why didn't I see that she was so rebellious before?"
"I'm sure! She must still be in the palace! The palace is heavily guarded and she can't escape! The words here are deliberately confusing us!"
"Come here! Launch all the imperial troops and look for them! Look for them again!"
"Look for all the corners! Look for those secluded palaces and abandoned courtyards!"
"Catch her and see how I deal with her!"
Li Er is very angry!
This Li Lizhi is no longer a caring little cotton-padded jacket, she has become a soft hedgehog! And it was worn backwards, which made him feel uncomfortable all over!
"Don't do this, it will arouse the child's rebellious psychology even more."
Changsun Wugou frowned and said,
"Now that she is older, she must have some ideas of her own."
"First arrange for people to search in the palace. If that doesn't work, expand the search area and go to Chang'an City to look for him."
"Don't make a big fuss about this matter, but do it in secret... After all, it won't sound good if it gets spread."
Xu Fenglei suddenly smiled.
He suddenly thought of the term 'princess on the run'. Those words in later generations were all false, but Li Lizhi really became a princess on the run!
"Listen Ming, why are you laughing?"
Li Shimin said unhappily,
"Li Zhi ran away. Are you happy to be a master?"
"That rebelliousness was all taught by you!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
Okay, you’re taking the blame again!
"I was just thinking, this girl is quite brave..."
He said casually,
"Since she could think of saying goodbye and leave a letter, I think she must be quite calm."
"Maybe her escape plan has been successful and she is no longer in the palace! But counting the time, she cannot run too far. She should still be in Chang'an City."
"After all, it's easy to get out of the palace, but it's hard to get out of Chang'an City. There's already a curfew."
Li Shimin had a dark face.
"You mean...she has left the palace?"
He shook his head and said,
"It's impossible. The palace is heavily guarded. No one can come or go at will without my permission!"
"It's impossible for her to run out! Otherwise, wouldn't my palace be able to come and leave whenever she wants?"
Li Er is still very confident in Tai Chi Palace's guarding power!
"What's so difficult about getting out?"
Xu Fenglei said,
"She can pretend to be a palace maid who goes out to do shopping. There is still a group of people in the palace who can freely travel between the palace and Chang'an."
"Of course, I'm just guessing. Maybe she is hiding in a secluded corner at the moment, playing hide and seek with the guards."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes.
"Then you're just talking nonsense?"
He said angrily,
"Hurry and look for it! You should look for it too!"
"If we can't find it, you, the master, have to take the main responsibility!"
Xu Fenglei was a little helpless, but he could only nod in agreement.
You will gain wisdom every time you suffer. From now on, even if you kill yourself, you will no longer be a teacher for the princes and princesses. You will be the first to take the blame!
"It makes sense."
The eldest grandson Wugou said,
"Let's search for it in Chang'an City as well. You can arrange for Jinwu Guard and Yi Guard to search for it, but don't disturb the people."
"If she leaves the palace, I'm not worried about anything else. The main thing is that I'm afraid that if she meets a bad person, she'll be in trouble..."
"Alas! This girl is really annoying!"
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome."
He took out six hexagram coins from his arms and said,
"Have you two forgotten what my old profession is?"
"Back when I was looking for fortune-tellers to find lost things, I was straight-forward and everything came true."
When Li Shimin saw this, he slapped his forehead suddenly.
"Ouch! Why do you think I forgot about this?"
He said quickly,
"Count it quickly, calculate it quickly!"
"I forgot that you can tell fortunes! If I had thought about it earlier, why would I bother so much? I could just ask you to capture her!"
"Quick! Do the math!"
After saying that, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
Obviously, although he was angry, he was also extremely worried about his daughter's safety.
If something happens, don't treat them like parents!
"According to the order."
Xu Fenglei responded, shook the six hexagram coins in his hand, and then threw them on the table.
Wow!
Throw it out, throw it out in a row:
——
—
——
—
"Dihuo Mingyi, let me think about it..."
Xu Fenglei looked at the hexagram, touched his chin, and whispered.
"How, how? Where?"
Li Shimin said quickly,
"Have you figured it out? Are you in the palace?"
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"Not in the palace, but outside, in Chang'an City."
He snapped his fingers and smiled,
"I know where she is."
"Your Majesty, Queen, please be patient."
"I'm going to bring her back now, but it may take a while. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her to avoid something like this happening again in the future."
"If you are tired and sleepy, just go and rest now. Tomorrow morning, I guarantee that Li Zhi will be in her own bedroom."
Upon hearing this, the eldest grandson Wugou immediately shook his head.
"No, the child is not found, how can I sleep now?"
She said,
"This kid actually slipped out!"
"Let's go together and bring her back!"
Li Shimin was also a little surprised.
This girl...can she really escape from the guards of Tai Chi Palace? !
Then he must know how she escaped and then readjust the defense in the palace!
"Queen, don't be anxious, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Xu Fenglei comforted him,
"Since this girl chose to run away from home, she must not want to see you two in a short period of time. Instead, she hid even more."
"It's not easy for me to talk to her."
"It's better if I go... let's do this! I will definitely bring her back before I get ugly! How about that?"
Under his continuous comfort, Changsun Wugou could only nod his head in the end.
"……All right."
She warned,
"Then you must bring her back. Just say that the Queen Mother won't blame her and just go back."
"Her marriage has been rejected. We will not force her to get married again, and we will not force her to get married in the future. Alas..."
"It's so troublesome. I can't say what I have to say properly. I have to take such an extreme approach. It's heart-wrenching!"
At this time, Li Er, as the father, might be angry and want to take his daughter back and torture her.
But as a mother, the eldest grandson Wugou chose to compromise and say good things.
As long as people come back, anything can be said!
"Yes, I will definitely bring your words to her. This girl is not worried."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands, glanced at Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and warned,
"You just need to rest for a while. There is no need to bother the palace."
"Chengqian also go to bed early. There is no need to worry about my sister. Master is here for everything."
"I'll be back as soon as I go..."
After that, he turned and left.
Tonight is destined to be a toss-up!
