Li Hong at the door could not have imagined that Princess Dalai would still have such awareness. She actually chose gouache for herself and perfume for Bai Chun when weighing the trade-offs!

He is sure that Princess Dalai must know that Bai Chun has many perfumes, but being able to still choose perfume for Bai Chun and water powder for herself under such circumstances shows at least how much Princess Dalai respects Bai Chun. .

Thinking of someone here, he walked into the perfume shop and stood behind the unaware Princess Dalai. When the woman looked at him, he silently checked the rating and asked her to Just keep busy with what you're doing.

Then he focused his attention on the small bag on Princess Dalai's arm. Through the gap, he could vaguely see that Princess Dalai went out by herself this time and bought a lot of things. She could even vaguely see the bag. There are even some underwear inside.

Princess Dalai looked at the woman with joy and helped her pack the two bottles of exquisite and elegant perfume one by one. After her attention gradually stopped focusing on the perfume, she felt that something strange was peeping at her behind her.

So she hurriedly turned around and saw the person with the trademark smirk, curiously looking at the contents of her bag, ready to reach in to find out.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Princess Dalai was startled. Seeing Li Hong's sneaky appearance, she hurriedly asked vigilantly.

Li Hong smiled, and then looked at the shop. The products sold here were all products from Taiyi City, and there was nothing that was not traditional from before the Tang Dynasty.

"There should be a lot of these things in the house, why do you still want to buy them?" Li Hong turned around and said to Princess Dalai.

Seeing that Princess Dalai knew Li Hong, the woman felt relieved and began to help pack the two bottles of perfume with peace of mind.

"Those are not mine. Besides, if I want to use it, who knows if you will deduct it from the money. What if it is more expensive?" Princess Dalai thanked the woman and happily took the package. The exquisite perfume was carefully put into the bag, and then he and Li Hong walked out of the store.

"The heart of a villain will judge the heart of a gentleman. Forget it, for the sake of your filial piety, I will treat you to dinner at noon today." The two people walking on the street were strolling leisurely.

Princess Dalai was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking here and there, and from time to time when Li Hong turned around, no one was around. This made him feel as if he was walking his dog, and he had to keep an eye on it from time to time. Come, princess, lest you get lost.

"It would be great if the Japanese country was half as wealthy as the Tang Dynasty." Princess Dalai said with envy as she looked at the dazzling array of goods in the shops on both sides of the street, as well as some exotic gold and silver jewelry.

"Okay, just become the eleventh disciple of my Tang Dynasty. I guarantee that within fifty years, you will be as wealthy as the city of Hangzhou today."

"We, the Japanese nation, will not surrender, huh." Princess Dalai glanced at Li Hong, but the words she spoke were without any confidence.

Before meeting Li Hong, or before the Tang Dynasty in the future, she might still have that mysterious self-confidence, but when she met Li Hong, experienced the thrilling naval battle, and now in Hangzhou, she There were deep doubts about whether the Japanese country could resist the Tang Dynasty's cavalry and warships.

The road paved with bluestones is not very smooth, but it is enough for the carriage to move forward quickly. In addition, some children from aristocratic families like to ride horses, so when the two of them were staggering in the middle of the road, they were behind them. The sound of horse hooves startled him.

Princess Dalai, who was still immersed in the bustling street scenery, continued to walk forward without realizing it. Li Hong had no choice but to take her arm and pull her aside to stand still, watching the three horses flying fast. rushed over.

Then, a carriage followed closely by three horses, also passing quickly. The wheels of the carriage bounced on the uneven stone road, but it did not affect the driver's speed at full speed without any scruples.

And just after the carriage passed by, Li Hong planned to continue moving forward, but Princess Dalai pointed at the carriage in surprise, then looked at Li Hong, and pointed at the carriage again.

Seeing the strange movements of Princess Dalai, Li Hong frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Do you want to ride a horse or a carriage? Walk with your legs. If you eat so much every day, if you don't exercise, when you return to Japan, Your father thought that Datang raised pigs..."

"No, are these people from the Tang Dynasty government?" Princess Dalai didn't bother to argue with him about her appetite.

"It's not the government, it should be... the rich people have something urgent." Li Hong replied as he watched the carriage gradually turn left at the corner of the street ahead.

Princess Dalai was puzzled for a moment and then said: "So it's like this. It seems that those people who bullied the weak yesterday are from rich families. No wonder they dare to bully the old, weak and young. You, the prince, are also derelict in your duty. In broad daylight, Under the circumstances, this kind of thing was allowed to happen and he was not arrested. "

"What did you see just now?" Li Hong suddenly asked.

He didn't believe that this was Princess Dalai's attempt to amuse himself when he had nothing to say. She must have seen something before she talked about those big men yesterday.

"No, I saw those big men sitting in the carriage in pain last night, and I thought they were taken away by the government..."

"Are you sure you saw those big men last night?" Li Hong looked anxious and asked urgently.

Princess Dalai, who was startled by the speed of Li Hong's face change, couldn't resist the pressure. She took a step back and whispered: "I can't remember it wrong. It must be so. Look at their pain." They were sitting in the carriage, I thought the government had taken them away."

"Come on, let's catch up and see if we can catch up with the carriage." Li Hong patted Princess Dalai's arm and motioned for her to follow him and walk faster.

When the two chased them to the corner of the street and turned a corner, they saw the shadow of the carriage turning a corner again. Li Hong calculated his own speed and then the speed of the carriage. It shouldn't be.

With the speed they were going at just now, they should have turned the corner long ago. Why are they turning the corner now? Are they not familiar with this place

As they continued to walk forward, they were pondering in their minds why they had just turned a corner now. The Princess Dalai next to her followed obediently, not asking where Li Hong wanted to take her, but just chasing her in a hurry. Li Hong’s footsteps.

The two came to the corner again. After taking a look, they saw that the carriage and the three horses that could be vaguely seen in front of them had indeed slowed down and were moving forward slowly.

There are not many pedestrians on this road, only in twos and threes, and most of them are nearby residential buildings. It is not as lively as the street just now.

Li Hong waved to Princess Dalai behind him and continued walking deeper into the alley. From time to time, he could see the three knights in front of him looking around, as if they were looking for something.

After quietly following for a short distance, I saw the carriage slowly stop. A person in front jumped off the horse. After looking around, he walked to the door of a house and opened the door gently.

Li Hong pressed Princess Dalai's towering chest with one hand and held the wall tightly with the other hand. He turned sideways with Princess Dalai to avoid the gaze of the man just now.

"Hey!" Princess Dalai looked at the big hand on her chest and wanted to take a bite, but she also saw it just now. This guy put his hand in the wrong place in a hurry to avoid being discovered by others: "Your Can you put your hands down? I'm already hiding."

Princess Dalai looked at the angular profile, saw that he was looking at the front intently, and said in a low voice.

"It's not like I didn't let it go. Why are you so worried about it..."

"That's different, okay!"

"Speak softly."

"I've already kept my voice very low, okay, please take your hand off quickly." Princess Dalai leaned her back against the wall, carefully stretched out a hand, and pressed Li Hong's hand down.

Li Hong slowly retracted his hand, glanced at Princess Dalai's blushing face, smiled and said, "Are you afraid?"

"Why did they kidnap those people yesterday? Are they doing harm to the people? Then they are good people." Princess Dalai slightly stretched her head and looked at the big men in the carriage yesterday, who were tied up in various ways. They were the same as when they were eating yesterday. They looked like crabs, and they were picked up one in each hand and hurriedly thrown into the house.

"Is this how good guys and bad guys are divided?" Li Hong asked speechlessly.

Watching the carriage slowly leave, the three of them looked at both sides of the street again before slowly closing the door.

"I think it is."

"It's you. Go over and have a look." Li Hong stretched out his hand and wanted to knock Princess Dalai on the forehead as if knocking Bai Chun, but when he saw Princess Dalai facing his hand, she did not dodge or dodge, holding against Ruyu. His forehead looked like he was waiting to be tapped with his eyes closed. He suddenly felt bored and gave up the idea of tapping.

The courtyard walls made of loess are not very high, and the courtyard here is not like the residential houses in Chang'anfang. Every household here is more like a single-family house.

So relatively speaking, it is a bit difficult to sneak in quietly without being discovered.

What's more, he was bringing a woman with him now. Li Hong secretly took Princess Dalai with him, looked around the wall at the door, and then looked at the house next to it.

I tried pushing the door, and it opened silently. Then I looked into the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was covered with weeds, and it had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.

After waving to Princess Dalai behind him, the two quietly walked into the abandoned house. After looking at the house next to the wall, Li Hong whispered to Princess Dalai: "Wait here. "Let me climb over the wall and see what they are doing."

"I'll go with you, so I can take care of you." Princess Dalai said with bright eyes as she looked at Li Hong.

"I think it's better to forget it. Why don't you find a suitable place to stay later?" Li Hong didn't think taking her would be of much help.

"Hmph, don't you just want to stay somewhere cool? Are you saying it so tactfully?" Princess Dalai pouted and said dissatisfied.

In exchange for a thumbs up from Li Hong, the Princess of Dalai had no choice but to hold her bag, look at the long-uninhabited house, find a place to stand at the eaves, and then looked at Li Hong's tall The figure suddenly became light and agile and disappeared from the wall in an instant.
