Chapter 193: Believe Me

Qiu Chen still didn't move, she looked up at Qin Zheng who was waiting two steps away, and spit out a name: "Hu Yanxun!" ”

Qin Zheng looked at Qiu Chen with a blank face, and after a while, he suddenly reached over, held her hand when Qiu Chen didn't react, pulled her out, and said, "Trust me!" ”

After a pause, Qiu Chen unconsciously followed the steps of the person in front of him.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a carriage was waiting for the door, and a trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Chen's heart, it turned out that there was such an ingenious and secret back door on the side of Yun Zhongxian.

Immediately, she thought again, Qin Zheng was able to enter and exit the Cloud Immortal so freely, and was able to let the Cloud Immortal provide him with such convenience, was it just a high-end service bought with money? Or is it that Qin Zheng and the Yun family have already worn a pair of pants?

Puzzled, the carriage had already driven out of the cloud fairy, and after passing through a few quiet streets, the noise gradually approached, and finally, the carriage stopped.

"It's here, get off!" Qin Zheng's voice was still calm, but his hand reached over, pulled up the hood for Qiu Chen, and quickly tied the strap of the cloak.

"Uh, I'll do it myself!" Qiu Chen ducked back, but heard a chuckle from close to her, which made her raise her eyes suddenly.

"Heh......" The chuckle was not finished, still hanging on Qin Zheng's face, but the slender fingers did not retreat, and he straightened the hood for Qiu Chen, and looked at it for a while, before he showed a satisfied expression, still holding Qiu Chen's hand by himself, and dragging her out of the carriage, "Let's go!" ”

When stepping out of the carriage, Qiu Chen thought of the children, thought of the second brother Yang Shumeng, hesitated slightly, Qin Zheng, who was walking in front, turned his head sensitively, and after meeting Qiu Chen's eyes, he immediately spoke: "Don't worry, Qin Li is here!" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen looked under the car and saw Qin Yi, Qin Xiao and Qin Yong without surprise, but there was no Qin Li, obviously, Qin Li stayed in the Yunzhong Immortal Restaurant.

This person is so carefully arranged, just to take her out to see the lights?

Lowering his eyes and hiding the complicated thoughts in his heart, Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng and got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, Qiu Chen withdrew her hand back, and without much resistance, she withdrew the freedom of her hand.

Lowering his head slightly, Qin Zheng said, "You've already shopped before, right?" How about being a guide for me? ”

Qiu Chen secretly took a breath, and followed out to go shopping in a daze...... It's really nothing to stay in modern times, it's really common to have a meal with male classmates, colleagues, and tutors, and go shopping, but in this era now, she can't fully understand what such a thing represents, but after a little hesitation, she calmly put aside those worries and walked side by side with Qin Zheng.

If she said anything about three from four virtues, if she said anything and showed her head, she would have committed it many times. As long as she stands up straight, generous and calm, she has done everything with a group of men going north, what does it matter if she goes shopping with a man and looks at the lights?

Thinking about it, he calmed down, Qiu Chen smiled, looked at Qin Zheng and said, "General Qin is sure to let me be a guide?" ”

"Let's call it Liansheng!" Qin Zheng first corrected the salutation, then nodded lightly with a slight smile, "It's up to you!" ”

Qiu Chen showed a villainous smile and nodded, "Okay!" ”

She took the children out, and watching the lights was secondary, but in fact, she came for all kinds of snacks and juggling. She really wanted to see Qin Zheng eating on the street, and she also wanted to see Qin Zheng's expression when he looked at the monkey......

After walking a few steps, several people walked out of the relatively quiet streets and alleys, and walked into the noisy flow of people with bright lights.

Mouth deflated, relatively speaking, it is more lively over there in the Iron Tower Temple, all kinds of grocery stalls, snacks, juggling......

After walking a few steps, Qiu Chen sensitively noticed that in addition to Qin Yi's three people and two guards around them, there were at least a dozen people hidden in the crowd to protect them. In such a situation, she finally understood where someone's confidence came from. With so many light and dark guards here, if you can meet someone you don't want to meet, it will be an accident!

Seeing this clearly, Qiu Chen also completely relaxed, the smile on his face gradually calmed and relaxed, and walked side by side with Qin Zheng with the flow of people.

Without the children chattering non-stop, and there are so many people guarding inside and outside, I can completely relax my mind to see all kinds of lanterns hanging on the street, all the way down, Qiu Chen can't help but admire, no electric drive, no high-end automation equipment, the handmade lanterns, only to truly show the beauty of the lanterns themselves. The delicate patterns of all kinds of lanterns, or gorgeous or elegant pattern designs, all reflect the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

There is no automatic control system, but the marquee can also keep rotating, through the light and shadow, one picture after another slowly presented, with the perfect combination of light and shadow, silently telling one story after another.

Without an electric drive, the exquisite skills of the craftsman can make the water flow from the low place to the high place, and then fly down, forming the nectar in the Guanyin Dashi jade pure bottle!

There is no music player, but the piano lantern can also produce pleasant music, the sound of the piano dingdong, although in the noisy flow of people, but as if it has smelled the fragrance of the hollow valley orchid.

In front of the Guanyin Dashi lamp, which is about two feet high, countless believers crowded forward, using various utensils and even their hands to receive the 'nectar' flowing from the Guanyin Dashi jade bottle. Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng were dragged by the crowd and walked a few steps, Qiu Chen dodged to the side, Qin Zheng found out, and then reached out to protect her from the crowd.

Standing outside the relatively quiet crowd, Qin Zheng asked in a low voice with a smile: "Don't you want to pray for the blessing of Master Guanyin?" ”

Qiu Chen's eyes were still fixed on the people who rushed up one after another, took the water and drank it in their mouths, and showed a satisfied and happy expression, shook his head and said: "Don't go, live your own life, don't expect others to ......"

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, turned his head to look at Qin Zheng and said with a smile: "There is only one Guanyin Master, you see that so many people are going to pray for blessings, Guanyin Master will also be too busy...... Rather than waiting for her blessing and blessing when she doesn't know when it will be, it's better to worry about it yourself! ”

"Guanyin is too busy?" Qin Zheng repeated in a low voice, and then, the smile in his eyes couldn't help but flow out, and a rare smile unfolded on his face.

Qin Yi is okay, his temperament is calm and self-controlled, but Qin Xiao and Qin Yong were almost laughed at by this conversation. finally couldn't hold back the big laughter, several people all lowered their heads, suppressed their laughter, laughed and trembled, and their stomachs hurt!

Qiu Chen didn't pay any attention to everyone's laughter, and glanced at Qin Zheng: "Let's go!" ”

The smile on Qin Zheng's face narrowed a little, but the smile in his eyes deepened.

After walking for a while, Qiu Chen learned from the conversations of the pedestrians around him that the dragon and lion dance team had passed, and he was a little disappointed, but she was quickly thrown away, because they finally came to a relatively lively place.

A high platform was set up at the door of the shop on the side of the road, and above the high platform hung a very delicate variety of lanterns, including noble and elegant palace lanterns, lively and playful animal modeling lamps, and exquisite and exquisite horse lanterns, and even, there were two extremely rare glass lanterns.

Qiu Chen fell in love with the two glass lamps at a glance. The so-called glass is actually another name for glass. In this era, when there was no glass manufacturing in the country, it was definitely synonymous with luxury, and many high-ranking families just embedded palm-sized glass in the center of the window, and also took a very straightforward name - glass eye. Being able to inlay several pieces of glass on a lantern, the value of this lantern can be imagined. Of course, Qiu Chen is not interested in the glass lamp because of its price, but because of the lanterns made of paper and gauze paste, the use of these pieces of glass makes the lighting effect of the lanterns more than double, Qiu Chen is completely a pragmatist!

With such delicate objects on display, there are naturally many people around the platform.

Qiu Chen squeezed forward, and he heard a man in his thirties standing on the stage say loudly with a smile on his face: "...... Shoot off the red cord on the top of the lantern, and the lantern will be yours! ”

Archery wins the light? Qiu Chen was suddenly overjoyed.

I don't know anything else, a few people around her, not to mention Qin Zheng's unhealed injury, that is, Qin Yi's few people, just shooting a glass lamp, are they not ready to be caught?

Seeing the excitement on her face, Qin Zheng's smile couldn't help but expand a little, and he lowered his head and asked, "Which one do you like?" ”

Don't ask her if she wants it, but directly ask which one, it seems that she is obvious!

However, at this time, Qiu Chen no longer deliberately restrained his emotions, and pointed to the two highest glass lamps hanging with a very cooperative smile: "That, it must be easy to use to illuminate!" ”

"Heh......" Another chuckle, Qin Zheng shook his head secretly, others use it to fill the façade, and most of the time the glass lamp at the bottom of the box is just a ...... Good!

Well, that's going to work!

"Let's go!" Holding her hand again, he was satisfied that the little woman did not resist awkwardly, and followed his footsteps with great obedience, and walked towards the high platform.

Seeing that the two were about to walk to the high platform, a pair of young men and women walked out of the crowd and climbed onto the high platform hand in hand.

Let people get the first shot! Qiu Chen paused slightly in annoyance.

I saw the master of ceremonies on the high platform with a smile on his face and bowed his hand to the men and women on the stage, and said with a smile: "Presumably the two of you just heard Xiang Mou's explanation, I don't know, who are the two of you?" ”

The man and woman smiled at each other, and the woman's gentle voice said: "The two of us cooperate, guess the riddle, I will shoot arrows!" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, it turned out that it was not only about archery, but also about guessing riddles...... That kind of word game, she's not good at it, but she doesn't know what happened to the one next to Lu Dao?

"Are you good at guessing puzzles?" Qiu Chen leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips and shook his head. He is good at fighting and killing people, guessing the riddle...... He's really not good!

Qiu Chen retracted his attention with some annoyance, looked at the high platform again, and saw that the pair of men and women had chosen a delicate marquee. The master of ceremonies smiled and arched his hand, stepped forward, took a long pole from the little servant behind him, and handed it to the man and woman. The man took the long pole, walked to the selected lamp, and with a slight pick, a roll of red silk unfolded, and the handwriting on it was also displayed in front of everyone's eyes--

Three provinces of my body! Hit the name of a drug!

The chagrin on Qiu Chen's face was instantly replaced by joy, she couldn't guess the riddle, she was good at guessing the name of the medicine.

Not to mention that she is more familiar with the name of the medicine than others, with professional superiority, moreover, she has read many ancient medical books, ancient medicine books, ancient prescription books, some records about the origin of medicinal materials, there are many records similar to this kind of lantern riddles, she can't play word games, but her memory is good, as long as she has read the books, she can probably have an impression, this guessing puzzle is like a multiple-choice question, the most suitable for people like her!

Obviously, the two people on the stage were not familiar with the name of the medicine, and the man said a few answers in a row, and the master of ceremonies opposite shook his head with a smile. There was no way, the two had to leave the scene gloomily, and they didn't even make the women's archery trip that everyone was expecting, they couldn't guess the lantern riddle, and they didn't have the qualifications to shoot arrows and take the lantern at all!

She just said, these shops have so many valuable lamps, and it's more about accumulating popularity, where it's so easy to get it! In this way, the lantern riddle and archery double insurance, the people who can successfully pass the two levels to get the lantern can imagine that there are many.

Secretly sneering, Qin Zheng leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Do you want more?" ”

"Of course!" Qiu Chen replied without hesitation.

The atmosphere in the audience was in a short period of depression because of the gloomy departure of the two people just now, and the voices of everyone talking and discussing were also very small, Qiu Chen's answer was crisp and neat, and he did not lower his voice, which naturally successfully attracted the attention of everyone on and off the stage.

"Hehe, another lady." The master of ceremonies on the stage invited with a smile, "It seems that this lady is determined to win, and please come to the stage!" ”

Qiu Chen straightened his back, nodded slightly, and walked past a few people and stepped on the stairs leading to the high platform. Qin Zheng followed closely and also followed on the high platform.

Stepping on the high platform, Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to the master of ceremonies, first looked back at Qin Zheng, and asked in a low voice, "Your injury?" ”

Qin Zheng shook his head with a smile, and also said in a low voice: "It's okay!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at him twice more suspiciously, and when he saw that he insisted, he didn't say anything more, turned his head back to look at the master of ceremonies, and smiled his head.

The master of ceremonies greeted him with the same smile, and arched his hand: "Two of you, are you following the lantern riddle just now?" ”

Qiu Chen stood with a smile, but didn't answer, but asked, "After guessing this, can you guess anything else?" ”

The master of ceremonies was slightly surprised, and in an instant, he regained a warm smile on his face, and said: "It is not allowed to say, since Mrs. is so inquired, then I will make the decision to agree, if Mrs. can guess the shooting of this lantern, you can guess again!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded and said, "It's not that I guess the riddle archery, I also invited a helper, I'll guess the riddle, he will shoot the arrow!" ”

This is not the first person, and the master of ceremonies didn't say more, just nodded and avoided the side.

Qiu Chen raised his head, looked at the red silk that was already hanging over the high platform, seemed to think for a while, and then turned to the master of ceremonies and said, "This is 'self-defense'?" ”

Without waiting for the master of ceremonies to answer, the pair of men and women who had just gone down were still standing under the stage, and when they heard Qiu Chen's words, the man immediately shouted: "Three provinces of my body, isn't it 'self-defense'!" ”

Although the man thought about it, although he got off the stage, he still thought hard and meditated, and when he heard the answer, he was inevitably excited, and the sound was quite loud, and it could be heard on and off the stage. Several others in the crowd chimed in.

The master of ceremonies smiled a little bitterly, stepped forward and arched his hand towards Qiu Chen and said, "Madam is really knowledgeable, the answer to this riddle is indeed 'self-defense'." ”

After receiving the affirmation, Qiu Chen bent his knees slightly in a good mood and returned the salute: "The shopkeeper is polite!" ”

The master of ceremonies did not delay, and with a wave of his hand, a fellow ran and sent a curved bow. The curved bow is not large, the decoration is ornate and exquisite, and the arrows are also small and delicate...... Qiu Chen looked at the bow and arrow, a little stunned.

The master of ceremonies was already holding the bow and sending it up, and said with a smile: "This was originally the bow and arrow used by the female dependents, just to prevent the female dependents from guessing riddles on stage, this son, please bear with me!" ”

Qin Zheng raised his hand to take the delicate bow and arrow, bowed his head slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the woman who was smiling and squinting at him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then pulled the corners of his mouth, and returned a reassuring smile.

That's all she wants to see his jokes?

If he can make her so happy, he will use this woman's embroidered bow to shoot a lantern, so what's the matter?

Seeing that Qin Zheng walked generously to the designated position and stood still, holding the bow in his left arm, putting an arrow on the bow with his right hand, holding the bowstring, and slowly pulling the bow away, gradually turning into a full moon......

Qiu Chen's gaze also shifted from the joyful scene of Qin Zheng holding the embroidered bow to his left shoulder, where the wound that had been healed by her own hands, I wonder if Lu Dao can withstand such a hard pull, and will the sutured wound collapse due to too much force in pulling the bow?

"Don't you see me shoot arrows?" Qin Zheng's calm voice came, Qiu Chen suddenly raised his eyes, and met his dark and deep eyes, calm and waveless, without the slightest reluctance and pain. Qiu Chen was slightly relieved, smiled, waved his fist, and laughed quietly: "Come on!" ”

The corners of Qin Zheng's lips hooked, revealing a smile, turned his head, his eyes stared at the red rope above the lantern, his arms were struggling, he could hardly aim, and the bowstring made a clear sound--boom!

Qiu Chen's gaze also followed him, and this attention only found that the 'red rope' in the master of ceremonies' mouth was actually extremely thin, and when he looked at it from such a distance, it was really not much thicker than the embroidery thread. But according to Qiu Chen's view, a small section of the light shadow is just at the wrong angle, and there is no way to shoot an arrow from the position it occupies, unless it destroys the lantern!

The slender and delicate arrows came out in response, Qin Zheng also followed, the figure was like a big peng spreading its wings, and rushed forward, almost arriving at the same time as the arrows, the red rope was broken, and the person also arrived, reaching out to catch it, and had firmly held the red rope broken at the top of the lantern, and then the figure fell on the stage, such a tall and straight figure, this one after another, a series of movements down, like flowing water in one go, and almost no sound was made!

Qiu Chen was stunned, and after seeing the other party turn his eyes and look at him, a smile on his face that only those who are familiar with him can detect, suddenly woke up, and immediately cheered: "You have succeeded!" That's amazing! ”

A wry smile flashed on Qin Zheng's face, and he raised his hand to hand the lantern in his hand towards her.

The muscles on Qin Yi's face twitched violently in the audience, Qin Xiao and Qin Yong and the other two guards simply shrank their heads and hid behind Qin Yi and snickered. Their famous Hou Ye, their famous Hou Ye who shocked the Northern Xinjiang, actually did this for a woman! So!

The funniest thing was the woman's compliment—really, really! Puff Ha Ha ......

The second more is ......
