Li Zexuan asked someone to bring the dusty Cheng Chumo to the second floor to clean up. Then, he turned to look at Xiao Hang and the others and said with a smile,
"Xiao Hang, your performance today was very good. You will all be rewarded. Three treasures, 20 coins each."
The six children quickly stepped forward and bowed to thank him, "Thank you, Young Master."
Li Zexuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "This is what you deserve. Go back and tell your leader that I am very satisfied. If there is a chance next time, I will look for you to cooperate."
The children happily received the reward, handed in the scooters, and were about to leave. However, they couldn't help but look back at the scooters a few times. Anyone could see the reluctance in their eyes. Although they had only played with the scooters for a day, they were completely fascinated by this novel toy. However, they definitely couldn't afford it, so they could only look at it a few more times.
"Brother, those scooters are a little old. Anyway, we can't sell them. Why don't we give them to Xiao Hang and the others?"
Lan-er gently tugged at Li Zexuan's arm and whispered. She had a lot of fun with these little friends today. Everyone took care of her. At this time, seeing that Xiao Hang and the others were reluctant to part with the scooters, Lan-er thought of an excuse to ask her brother to give them the scooters.
However, how could Li Zexuan not see through this little trick? However, he didn't care about this small amount of money. If he gave it to them, then so be it. So, he rubbed Lan-er's little head and called Xiao Hang and the others back.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Hang, this scooter is already old. It definitely can't be sold. I'll give it to you!"
The children were surprised, but Xiao Hang was more mature. He quickly bowed and said, "Young Master, this is too expensive. Xiao Hang doesn't dare to accept it."
"Aiya, my brother already said that he would give it to you. Take it quickly. My brother doesn't lack this little money."
Lan-er finally persuaded her brother. Seeing that Xiao Hang refused again, the little girl quickly ran over and pushed the scooter to Xiao Hang's feet.
Li Zexuan smiled and shook his head. In fact, he felt quite good. It felt good to be thanked by others. It was still good to be a tycoon!
When Xiao Hang and the others saw that Li Zexuan did not object to Lan-er's words, they hesitated for a moment before taking the scooter. Xiao Hang happily bowed and thanked them.
"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Miss Lan 'er. The next time Young Master opens the shop, we will perform for Young Master for free."
"Okay, okay."
The others nodded in agreement.
Li Zexuan smiled and waved his hand. "Go back quickly. Be careful on the road."
The children rode their scooters and left happily under the setting sun.
Li Chengqian and the others saw that there was nothing else to do here, so they left. When Changle left, Li Zexuan specially gave her a pink scooter, which made the girl very happy.
…
Yunxi Restaurant, in a private room on the third floor.
"Your Imperial Highness, the crowd surrounding the Pavilion of Wonders has dispersed. The Crown Prince and Princess Changle have already left."
A black-clothed imperial bodyguard bowed and reported to a luxuriously dressed little fatty seated at the head of the table.
This little fatty was Li Tai. Today, he had come to capture Li Zexuan and bring him back to write a story. However, he had never expected that the Pavilion of Wonders would be surrounded by so many spectators. Immediately, Li Tai felt somewhat terrified.
Although he was Li 'er's most beloved imperial son, if he caused trouble in front of so many people, and if an imperial censor were to bring this matter to court, Li' er would definitely not let him off easily.
Moreover, his elder brother and younger sister were both there. If they were to speak up for Li Zexuan, it would be difficult for him to do anything. As a result, he had imperial bodyguards keep an eye on the Pavilion of Wonders, while he himself went to the Yunxi Restaurant across the street. He ordered a table of dishes and sat there, eating as he waited for news.
To his pleasant surprise, the Yunxi Restaurant actually had gnawed chicken. Although the taste was slightly inferior to that of the Drunken Immortal, compared to the other dishes of the restaurant, this knockoff version was clearly more delicious.
The little fatty was so engrossed in eating that he had nearly forgotten the reason for his visit today. Only now did he hear the imperial bodyguard's report did he remember that he had come to capture Li Zexuan.
Li Tai belched and rubbed his round belly. With a sinister smile, he said, "Hehe, since they've all left, it's time for us to take action. Zhao Yu, take a few men and quickly follow this Prince. Don't let him escape."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Pavilion of Wonders.
Seeing that the eastern marketplace was about to close, Li Zexuan packed up his things and had the head steward support the bruised and battered Cheng Chumo. He was about to close the door and return home.
Just at this moment, a group of burly men blocked their path. Following this, an arrogant voice sounded out from behind them.
"Which one of you is Li Zexuan? Hurry up and stand out for this Prince!"
As soon as the voice fell, a fair and clean little fatty slowly walked out from behind the group of burly men.
When Li Zexuan heard the child in front of him refer to himself as this Prince and his tone was obviously unfriendly, he was shocked. However, he was not someone who was afraid of trouble. He squeezed Lan 'er's small hand to reassure her, then stepped out from the crowd and said in a clear voice,
"Your Highness, I am Li Zexuan. May I know why Your Highness is looking for this humble one?"
At this moment, Cheng Chumo recognized the person. He asked in surprise, "Prince Wei?"
When Li Tai heard that someone recognized him, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice. After a long while, he finally recognized that the bruised and battered person in front of him was Cheng Chumo. He turned his head and glared at Zhao Yu. Cheng Chumo was also here. How could the guard not report such important information?
This was an injustice to the guard. Cheng Chumo had injured himself while skateboarding and had been recuperating on the second floor, not daring to come out and embarrass himself. How could the guard know whether Cheng Chumo was here or not?
Although Li Tai was a prince, he was still quite wary of Cheng Chumo. He thought to himself, "It seems like I can't take her by force today." This was because he had heard that Li Zexuan had a good relationship with Cheng Chumo. If he took her away in front of Cheng Chumo, Li Er would definitely not let him off easily.
"Oh, so Chou Niu is here too. Haha, what a coincidence."
Li Tai said awkwardly.
Cheng Chumo could tell from Li Tai's first words that he did not come here with good intentions. He was probably here to cause trouble for Li Zexuan. Of course, he would support his brother at this time.
Cheng Chumo walked to Li Zexuan's side and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder hard. He laughed loudly at Li Tai.
"Today is the opening of my brother's new shop. Of course, I, Old Cheng, have to come to support. Haha! May I know why Prince of Wei is here today? The Crown Prince and the Princess just left. "
He pretended to be close and deliberately mentioned Li Chengqian and Changle. Naturally, he implied that he wanted to intimidate Li Tai and remind him not to deliberately make things difficult for Li Zexuan. He was usually a simple-minded person, but that was just because he did not want to use his brain. But today, his good brother was in danger. He had to use his brain to help. Although he could defeat this group of people, he would definitely cause trouble for his father after the fight.
How could Li Tai not hear the hidden meaning in Cheng Chumo's words? Even though he knew that Cheng Chumo was speaking the truth, he, Li Tai, would not be threatened by anyone other than Li Er and Changsun. At this moment, Li Tai said with a fake smile,
"Oh? Chou Niu, are you representing your Cheng family to stand against this prince? "
Cheng Chumo was momentarily speechless. Regarding the issue of a prince's side, he naturally could not represent his father. He did not know what to do when Li Tai used his power to suppress others.
"Your Highness Prince of Wei must be joking. Brother Chou Niu was only joking. Your Highness Prince of Wei should not take it to heart. May I know why Your Highness is looking for this commoner today?"
Li Zexuan could not sit still when he saw his good brother stand up for him. Thus, he stepped forward to help Cheng Chumo out of his predicament.
