Chapter Forty-Seven: Stealing the Lights in the Middle of the Night
Mu Ling looked back and saw that it was Heng descendant, his heart was slightly relieved, and his wrist was also held by him.
Yan Jiang's eyes were fixed on the young man who walked out from behind Mu Ling, watching the intimate actions of the two, he was very annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that this guy in front of him was a few years younger than himself, and he could be so intimate with this girl......
"Your Excellency, isn't it okay to take someone else's things without permission and refuse to return them?" Heng Yi looked at Yan Jiangdao coldly.
Yan Jiang did not show weakness: "This is my business with this girl, what are you doing?" "Yan Jiang doesn't have that patience with others, especially Hengzi.
Heng Yi had been secretly watching for a long time just now, and he knew what Yan Jiang's previous actions were. Hengyi didn't bother to entangle with him for a while: "Since Yan Gongzi likes this girl's things, I won't take advantage of others, so I'll give it to you, Ling'er, I'll buy you a new one when I go back." ”
Saying that, Heng Yi was about to leave with Mu Ling: "Girl, let's go..... I can't imagine that someone has such a habit now, and he is still the son of the city lord......" Before leaving, Heng didn't forget to sneer.
That Yanjiang was annoyed when he heard this, and he was even more unwilling to let the two of them leave like this, seeing that the beauty was leaving, he was in a hurry, and he actually reached out to grab Mu Ling's sleeve.
Heng Yi glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and sneered in his heart, now he doesn't have to do it himself, then Yanjiang will also suffer.
Sure enough, as he expected, he saw Mu Ling seeing Yan Jiang's movements, his eyes were cold, and purple Gu breath gushed out from his sleeve, turning into a snake wrapped around Yan Jiang's outstretched hand, as soon as the Gu breath touched Yan Jiang's sleeve, it made a strange "hiss" sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and Yan Jiang's entire sleeve was instantly corroded! Frightened, Yan Jiang hurriedly withdrew his hand, so that he did not come into contact with the poisonous thing.
Seeing that he didn't succeed, Yan Jiang was about to stop him again, when he suddenly felt that the night sky above his head was bright, not only him, but Heng Yi and Mu Ling also sensed it.
The two of them stopped, and when they looked up, they saw a huge lantern hanging high on a high platform in the middle of the lake, and the light they had sensed before was due to its sudden light.
Looking closely, the giant lantern is divided into eight sides, the whole body is made of clear jade, during which it is brilliant and dazzling, like a night pearl in the night sky, it immediately attracts the attention of all visitors.
"Tsk, is this the 'headlamp' of the year? It's so pretty! ”
"It's not just good-looking, it's also worth a lot of money, right? Don't let someone steal it......"
"Hey, didn't you look at the four soldiers up there or what?"
"Just four people, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold it?"
"Are you pig's head, these are definitely not ordinary people, there must be cultivation!"
"That is, the 'headlamp' dedicated to the dragon god naturally has to be guarded, and it is estimated that these guys will have to stay here all night." Others chimed in.
"This 'headlamp' has only emerged in recent years, right? It is said that it is dedicated to the dragon god, but after living here for so many years, I have never seen any dragon god....."
"yes, don't talk about dragons, I haven't even seen a single dragon scale?"
"I don't know how the lord of the castle believes in that kind of legend, and ...... with such fanfare every year."
"Shhhh
......
The crowd on the shore of the lake was full of chatter.
Hengyi noticed the strange look flowing in Mu Ling's eyes, and knew in his heart that this guy was interested in this "headlamp", which was not surprising - after all, girls like this kind of beautiful thing.
Mu Ling suddenly pulled the corner of Heng's clothes, Heng looked over, only to see Mu Ling secretly handed him a look, Heng Ling saw a hint of cunning in it, and the next moment Mu Ling turned his head with a slightly red face.
Just at this glance, Heng Yi understood what she meant, and as soon as his mind moved, he quietly attached to her ear and said, "It's still early, wait until late at night." ”
Then he heard Mu Ling whisper "um", the voice was inaudible, and then he lowered his head, not daring to look at Heng Yi again. Seeing Mu Ling's cute appearance, Heng Yi finally couldn't help it, and reached out to rub the girl's long hair. In exchange for the girl's angry glaring at herself, Heng Descendant didn't dare to make another time.
Hengyi looked around, then his eyes fell on the high platform in the middle of the lake, frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "There are many people now, I'm afraid it's not easy to start, it's better to wait until late at night, then you should be able to avoid the eyes and ears, it's just that these soldiers are more troublesome, but they have to keep watch here all night......"
Even standing on the shore, Heng can faintly feel the breath of those four people, I am afraid that they have all reached the realm of Sect Master Qi, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, let alone without alarming others.
Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, take a step and see a step, no matter what, a certain guy is rare to "have bad intentions" once, no matter how you say it, you have to accompany her to make trouble this time......
However, Heng Yi also kept an eye on it, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time after all - on the one hand, the two of them had stayed here for a long time, and they were afraid that they would show their flaws, and on the other hand, there was Yan Jiang entangled on the side, which was even more troublesome. Thinking like this, Heng Yi didn't stay long, and left with Mu Ling at the moment.
On that side, Yan Jiang was proud of the admiration of the people around him, just because this "headlamp" was provided by his own family, he was proud in his heart, and he greatly increased his face in front of the beauty.
Speaking of that beauty...... Yan Jiang suddenly reacted and hurriedly turned around to look, but the two people before had already left.
Yan Jiang is not very lost - there are their own eyeliners everywhere in this city, as long as those two are still in this Yan King City, they will be able to find them sooner or later. Thinking like this, Yan Jiang tapped the folding fan in his hand, and his frowning brows also relaxed.
......
At midnight, the moon is hazy and silent.
A few hours ago, the streets were lit up and filled with the laughter and laughter of tourists, but now they are deserted.
A sudden sound of footsteps sounded on the shore of the lake, which immediately attracted the attention of the four lantern guards on the high platform in the middle of the lake.
"Who?" One of the soldiers shouted as they roamed the streets at such a time would inevitably arouse suspicion, especially since they were guarding important "things" here.
"What are you doing so nervous? Is anyone really going to have the guts to steal our things? How? I don't recognize my young master? I saw Yan Jiang walking towards him with a folding fan.
"Ah, it's the young master! Forgive the little ones for their clumsiness! ”
A few people didn't know that in an inconspicuous dark corner, there were two figures secretly watching them. Listening to Yan Jiang's words, one of the taller figures faced the other slender figure, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The meaning probably is: Then Yan Jiang didn't expect us to really have that courage.
The other figure just pouted, but didn't respond.
On the high platform on that side, a soldier has condensed an ice bridge that extends to the shore, as if the Yanjiang River is about to ascend to the high platform in the middle of the lake.
The figure in the dark saw that the soldier's technique of condensing and turning into reality was so skillful, and it was estimated that he had at least the intermediate level of the Sect Master, and the other three people were probably about the same level of cultivation as him.
The figure touched his chin and felt that something was going to be difficult.
"Okay, it's almost the middle of the night, and this 'headlamp' is useless, right? You don't have to work so hard to keep it, go back to sleep, and I'll take this lamp with me first. Yan Jiang's voice came from the side of the high platform.
"It's... The prince has already explained before, and he wants a few of us to stay until dawn, and the young master can't take it away casually. One of the soldiers said with a grimace on his face.
Yan Jiang shook his head, these subordinates in his own family don't know, but he knows very well, where is the old guy asking them to guard the "headlamp", but it is just to hide people's eyes and ears, and what they want them to guard is actually something else, but they themselves don't know.
Tonight should be the last night, and there is no need to take any "headlamps" to worship the dragon god every year in the future.
The old guy is really too cautious, even if someone accidentally finds that "thing", it will be difficult for ordinary people to approach it.
Yan Jiang is inconvenient to talk to this group of people, at the moment he just wants to get this lantern in his hands, stay until tomorrow morning, see the beauty and give it to her, then he will naturally be able to win the favor of the beauty - before through the eyeliner, Yan Jiang has learned that the Heng and the two live in an inn in the city at this time.
"Strange, speaking of which, what is that guy doing here at this time?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to use the lantern to offer tribute to someone." The two figures in the corner were talking in a whisper, and one of them accurately judged the purpose of Yan Jiang's trip.
"That's it, I'll guard it for you here, you go back first, if something goes wrong, I'll take care of it, so it's okay, right?" Yan Jiang couldn't tell these pedantic subordinates for a while, so he just wanted to get rid of them first, so he could take the lanterns and leave.
But I didn't expect to steal my own things one day. Yan Jiang was a little funny in his heart.
Several soldiers looked at each other and did not speak, still a little hesitant. At this moment, Yan Jiang was a little impatient, and said angrily: "Bold minion! Aren't you worried about having this young master guarding the lamp for you? Are you questioning me?! ”
"Little... The little ones really don't dare! We... This... Let's leave! Yan Jiang was very effective this time, so frightened that the four soldiers hurriedly surrendered and retreated. But in the blink of an eye, several people disappeared from sight.
Yan Jiang saw that everyone had left, so he leisurely opened the folding fan and fanned it lightly, looking at the huge lanterns on the side, Yan Jiang smiled with satisfaction.
"What's the situation? This idiot actually drove several guards away......" The figure in the corner was confused for a moment, and then chuckled and said: "Now we are relaxed, we are still worried about how to do it just now...... Thanks to this idiot's help, it saves us a lot of trouble, isn't it, Ling'er? ”
It turned out that these two people in the dark were none other than the Heng Descendants, who had the intention of stealing the lights when they visited the Lantern Festival before, and agreed to come here in the middle of the night to steal the lights!
At this time, Yan Jiang had already broken out all the guards, and it was the best time for them to attack!
- "So... Ling'er, it's time for us to do it! ”
