Compared to the prosperous and comfortable Shuzhou City, the Liangzhou City located in the far north is not that prosperous. What's more, with the war, many people in the city have fled, making this border town no longer what it used to be.
But it is still the capital of a state, so even if it declines, there are still many lively places in the city.
At this moment, a man and a woman appeared in a crowded market in the west of the city.
The woman has a delicate appearance and is in her prime of life.
The man has an ordinary appearance and is dressed in black, giving him a slightly gloomy look.
Although the two of them were walking side by side on the street, they felt a little unfamiliar.
Or it could be that the man deliberately kept a distance from the woman and just kept walking with his head bent without looking away.
The woman was more lively, looking around while walking, with a very relaxed expression.
"Mr. Tang, how many hidden sentries do you think are around us?"
Turning to look at Tang Chen, Li Zimu asked softly: "Can you see 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 looked back: "In short, it will never be less."
"Keke, you are quite powerful."
Li Zimu followed his eyes and immediately praised with a smile: "I found three at once."
"..."
After glancing at Li Zimu, Tang Chen obviously had no interest in making jokes with her, and just sighed helplessly.
"Hey, Miss Li, where are you taking me?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just wandering around."
Li Zimu blinked: "Mr. Tang, haven't you ever done this kind of thing with another woman before?"
"No, I have been in the mountain gate since I was a child..."
Tang Chen closed his mouth mid-sentence, stopped and said warily: "You are trying to trick me."
"Tch, what do you have to hide?"
Li Zimu curled his lips and said casually:
"You are a disciple of the Guigu Sect. You have been depressed before, but you made great achievements immediately after joining the army. Then you were promoted by Yan Huanwen and Yan Huaiqing, and you were promoted to three levels in just half a month... ..."
"These things are not difficult to check. I found out last night."
"you......"
Being exposed like this, Tang Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He held it in for a long time, then silently asked:
"how about you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Where are you from? Obviously your status is not low, but why is it that Dajue's previous information does not include a number one figure like you?"
"Oh, this..."
Li Zimu replied casually: "Because I have only been with Mr. Wei for less than two months."
"Less than two months?"
Tang Chen's eyes froze, and he nodded meaningfully: "Then it seems that you must have some abilities that are different from ordinary people."
"That's for sure."
Li Zimu was not modest either. He smiled and moved closer: "Mr. Tang, do you want to know what I am capable of?"
"What is it?"
Tang Chen's questioning was a bit urgent, revealing his tense mood at the moment.
But Li Zimu smiled and shook his head and did not answer.
She just suddenly stopped a vendor selling candied haws, and asked the latter with a smile:
"Uncle, how did you sell it?"
"Girl, these candy balls cost five cents a bunch."
"Then I want two skewers, pick the bigger one for me!"
"okay!"
"..."
Taking out his small purse and handing over ten cents, Li Zimu quickly took two bunches of crystal-clear candied haws from the vendor under Tang Chen's slightly surprised eyes.
"Here, it's for you."
She raised a bunch in front of Tang Chen, who hesitated for a while and took it, but never took a bite.
"What? You haven't eaten before, have you?"
Li Zimu had already bitten a hawthorn in his mouth, and his words were a bit unclear: "Are you afraid that I will be poisoned and you don't dare to eat it?"
"Oh, it's not poisonous! Try it!"
"..."
While Li Zimu was eating, he urged Tang Chen to eat too. The slightly bulging look on his cheeks was a bit cute.
But Tang Chen unexpectedly raised the candied haws to his mouth a moment later and took a bite.
"Is it delicious?"
On the other side, Li Zimu asked with some anticipation.
"It's, it's okay..."
Tang Chen nodded in embarrassment.
The sun is warm and pedestrians pass by in a hurry.
A man and a woman were standing on the street eating snacks that only children would eat.
To be honest, the two of them looked a bit naive now, especially Tang Chen. He didn't look like a disciple from a sect like Guigu Sect, which was very good at playing with people's hearts.
It was also very baffling for Li Zimu to deal with him in such a "green" way.
After all, this doesn't look like an "interrogation", but more like "making friends" or even "engaging in ambiguity".
Therefore, the Anshao who was hiding around the two of them at this time was a little confused when they saw this scene. They didn't know what Li Zimu was doing.
However, there is a saying in her previous life that may explain her current behavior——
If she is new to the world, take her to see all the prosperity of the world; if she is sophisticated, take her to ride the merry-go-round.
Although this sentence in the previous life was about how to pick up girls, it is equally applicable to men.
And it was obvious that Li Zimu was taking Tang Chen to "ride the merry-go-round".
"..."
"Mr. Tang, are we friends now?"
Under the sunlight, Li Zimu's eyes were shining.
She looked at Tang Chen who was suddenly stunned, and said very sincerely: "Now Mr. Wei and your Highness have reached a peace negotiation, 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 really think."
"By the way, don't you know how to read minds?"
"Then if you read my heart, won't you know whether I am true or false?"
"..."
Holding up the candied haws, Li Zimu stared into Tang Chen's eyes without hesitation.
But the latter did not dare to look at her, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
Although Tang Chen had all his main veins sealed by Liang Zhen, he couldn't mobilize any internal energy.
But it is still possible to use the tapir and leopard to exert magical powers.
So he could actually tell immediately whether Li Zimu's words were true or false.
However, several breaths passed and he still did not do so.
This was the second time that Tang Chen took the initiative not to use his mind-reading skills when he needed to use them.
The last time was when he faced the mentor who had raised him from childhood to adulthood...
Read minds.
Such magical powers are indeed very powerful.
But "reading people's minds" is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.
The reason may be the same as Wei Changtian's unwillingness to give Xu Qingwan, Ning Yuke, Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, or even Zhang San, Li Yang and others the Puppet Pill.
With the status of these people, if any one of them rebels, the consequences will be very serious.
So if Wei Changtian is absolutely rational, then he should all take the Puppet Pill.
But no one is absolutely rational.
Regardless of whether they are good or bad, gentlemen or young people, everyone should have a few of these closest people, who can make them make choices beyond rationality.
For Tang Chen, he had only one master before.
But now...
Looking at Li Zimu blankly, Tang Chen didn't know why he hadn't summoned the Tapir Leopard and used his mind-reading skills.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the former turned around with a smile and walked toward a teahouse not far ahead.
"Master Tang, let's go!"
"I'll treat you to tea!"
