Chapter 36 Xiaobai?His Royal Highness?
Just as Li Lao Er brought Li Qingniu and Xiao Bai to sell loudly, a slightly thin man with red face, upturned eyes, the red fox who was ordered to come out to investigate also came to the market.

The red fox came to Li Laoer and sized up the three of them repeatedly. The hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably. After a while, he pretended to be calm and asked in slightly jerky Dazhou official dialect: "Boss, what are you doing?" How do you sell the fur?"

Seeing that Li Laoer waited for a long time, he finally came, so he hurriedly introduced him enthusiastically.

"This is the best fur. This one only costs six hundred dollars... Look at this animal skin, it is soft in texture and smooth in color. It only costs seven hundred dollars..."

While talking, he kicked Li Qingniu who was dozing off.When Li Qingniu saw a guest coming, he cheered up and showed the fur to the guest.

The red fox took a brief look at the fur on the carriage, then glanced at Xiaobai who was squatting aside and playing with stones from the corner of his eye, and after a little thought, he came up with an idea.

"Boss, we are in the fur business, but I'm not the boss, so I can't decide the price. If you trust me, take the goods and go to our boss with me, and let him negotiate with you."

Li Er Er was a little hesitant. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, so he was cautious in probing.

"Guest, why don't you take a few pieces back to your boss to have a look, I'll deliver them if they fit."

The red fox pretended to look through it again, and continued:
"I saw that your fur is very suitable for our needs. I think our boss will definitely accept it! And we are doing big business. As long as our boss sees your fur, he will definitely want all of it!"

"This……"

Seeing that Li Lao Er was still hesitating, Chihu hurriedly added.

"If you don't trust me, I can pay you ten gold coins as a deposit first, and we can negotiate the price when we arrive!"

When Li Laoer heard that there were ten gold coins as a deposit, he thought that the total price of the goods in this cart was not worth ten gold coins. He was excited at first, and then he took a closer look at this person. in the method.

"How about this, I'll find someone to accompany me? Can multiple people help with loading and unloading?"

The red fox hesitated for a while before agreeing.

"Also! Just be quick."

"Okay! Guest, wait a moment!"

After saying that, let Li Qingniu look at the car, and went to find Lao Shen by himself.Seeing Li's second son leaving, Chihu knelt down to greet Xiaobai.

"This little brother, this little brother."

He shouted a few times but didn't answer, Li Qingniu didn't doubt him, so he explained to Chihu.

"Guest, don't shout, my brother is dumb and can't understand outsiders."

The red fox was a little surprised and puzzled.

"Your brother? Brother?"

"That's natural!"

"Then why did your brother become dumb? Did he suffer from some kind of illness?"

"Maybe it was born!"

"Maybe? Isn't he your real brother?"

"Um, I saved Xiaobai from the slave trader, I treat him as my own brother!"

"Oh! That's how it is. Is your name Xiaobai?"

As he said that, he wanted to touch Xiaobai's head.Xiaobai was so frightened that he quickly got up and hid behind Li Qingniu.Li Qingniu looked at Xiaobai and smiled to comfort him.

"Xiaobai, don't be afraid, this guest is not malicious."

At this time, Lao Shen followed Li Lao Er and came to the front.Lao Shen looked at the so-called guest in front of him, thinking that this person was not like a merchant, and at least he was also a third-rank martial artist, so he used words to test him out.

"Is that you want to buy furs?"

Seeing that the person who came was also a third-rank martial artist, Chihu thought that it would not be easy to take away, so he continued to perform.

"Yes, people are here, can we go?"

Li Laoer was very happy, and hurriedly prepared to drive.

"Okay, I would like to trouble Guard Shen to help me go."

Old Shen grabbed Li's second child.

"Brother Li, don't worry!"

He turned to look at the man and asked, "Brother, where are you from?"

The red fox paused for a moment and replied, "We are businessmen from the Yufu Kingdom."

"Oh? This country of Yufu is rich in furs, why come so far away to buy them?"

After saying that, he protected Li Qingniu and others behind him, and glared at the man.Seeing that he couldn't be fooled and couldn't do it, the red fox had to pretend to be angry.

"It's fine if you don't sell it, just ask questions, hum!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.Seeing that the person had gone away, Li Laoer looked at the cart of furs with regret and sighed.

"It's a pity! I thought I could get rid of it all at once!"

Old Shen was not angry when he saw that Li Lao Er was full of regret and slightly complaining.

"Brother Li, this man is not a businessman, at least he is a third-rank martial artist. Fortunately, you called me."

"Ah! So that's the case. Could it be that I offended the helpers those two people found in the morning?"

Old Shen shook his head.

"Probably not. This person's skin color and clothes really look like a person from the Yufu country. The two gangsters in the morning probably won't know the fighters from the Yufu country. However, I'm afraid you are being targeted."

"Then what should we do?" Second Li asked anxiously.

Li Qingniu seemed to have thought of something.

"Second Dad, Old Shen, that man just kept staring at Xiaobai! Do you think he came to arrest Xiaobai?"

Lao Shen looked at the foolish Xiaobai and the nervous Li Qingniu, and couldn't help laughing.

"Such a little mute, he only eats and sleeps. Who else would want it but you? But it doesn't seem safe today, and I can't get away. So, I'll send you back first."

Li Lao Er was still hesitating.

"Here, we haven't sold a few furs yet, why don't we wait? People come and go."

Old Shen shook his head and insisted.

"Forget it, I saw that you have been busy for a long time and you haven't sold a few copies. I will come with you tomorrow when I have time."

"Oh, that's all I have to do."

So everyone collected their things, put on the carriage and went back to the inn.Li Lao Er didn't plan to stay in the hotel because he didn't make any money today, so he took Li Qingniu and Xiao Bai, bought some steamed buns and dried meat, and lived in the carriage in the backyard with the goods.

A figure then watched from afar as Li Laoer and the others entered the Yuqiu Ferry Inn, and left quickly.Immediately, another figure left.

Heihu was drinking tea in the room thinking, thinking what happened to Cangya, which made him rush here this morning regardless of whether there was news or not, why didn't he come at this hour.

While anxious, a monkey's voice sounded outside the door.

"Captain, the red fox is back!"

"Oh? Let him in!"

With a squeak, the red fox quickly stepped into the room, without paying any attention to saluting, and said eagerly: "Captain, hurry up, I see the prince!"

"What? Seriously?" With a bang, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground!
"Really, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the son seems to have been deprived of his soul and has become stupid!"

"Oh? Be specific."

After Chihu narrated, Heihu stroked his train of thought, and then confirmed it.

"Anyway, it's been four months, and I finally found the crown prince! Have you confirmed the route?"

"Yes, this subordinate saw with his own eyes that Shizi followed those people into the Yuqiu Ferry Inn."

"Very well, quickly summon people to my room to discuss matters."

After a while, monkeys, hounds, tiger teeth, and goshawks all arrived in the house.Heihu couldn't hold back his excitement and said to everyone.

"Brothers, the red fox has just seen the prince, and now he was taken to the Yuqiu Ferry Inn by a caravan. However, the situation inside is still unclear. Let's quickly discuss the countermeasures. Rescue the prince as soon as possible!"

As soon as everyone heard that Shizi had been found, they wished they could rush in and rescue Shizi immediately.They are all gearing up and impatient.

Heihu raised his hand to suppress everyone's voices and said:
"Okay, listen to my arrangement now! Goshawk, you are the fastest, set off immediately to inform the brother who guards the panther, and take the panther to the dense forest on the other side of the river to wait for pick-up. Remember to arrive before the moon rises! mistaken!"

"Order!"

Immediately the goshawk left the pass and galloped towards the south.

"Huya, Hound, the two of you go near the pass and prepare a speedboat to hide from the guards and take charge of the surface response."

"Order!"

Huya and hound also went to prepare by themselves.

"Monkey and Red Fox, you two put on your casual clothes and go to the Yuqiu Ferry Inn with me later, play by ear!"

Before they could reply, they saw Lingque open the door and come in.

"Captain, the patrol is about to enter the city!"

"What? Didn't they go south?" Heihu was shocked.

"They not only entered the city, but also sent spies to investigate everywhere. It seems that we have been exposed!"

Heihu paced back and forth, calmed down after a while, and arranged for the three of them.

"After entering the city, they may really be coming for us! But they may not have found us, and now the arrow is on the line, they have to attack! If the black panther doesn't arrive, even if we save the prince, we won't be far away!"

Seeing Lingque's bewildered expression, Chihu briefly introduced the situation to him.Then Heihu made another arrangement.

"Lingque, Chihu, you two also hurry up and lay an ambush outside the Yuqiu Ferry Inn, and always pay attention to the movements of the prince. Monkey and I will take pictures nearby."

After everyone dispersed, the excited Heihu even had the urge to pick up Shizi immediately.But this patrolling general and a battalion of sergeants guarding the gate, if they are alarmed...
