The so-called torch festival is a special festival for the border people near Jiuli City. www.biquge.info As the largest city and cultural and economic center near the border of the Demon Domain, Jiuli City holds a grand celebration every year to worship heaven and earth, fire, ancestors, drive away evil, and pray for the prosperity of the six animals and the abundant harvest of grains. At that time, Heyun, the general of Zhenguo, will also preside over the celebration on behalf of the Yanyang Empire.

I was planning to go to the celebration the next day, but I didn't expect to receive an invitation from Heyun as soon as I returned to the Jiuli mansion. Of course, the content of the invitation is mainly to invite Song Yushu, the prince, and by the way, Yechenxing and others are also invited to participate.

I don't care who is invited, Yechenxing doesn't care, with this invitation, you can watch the whole celebration from the viewing platform in a very good position. The Torch Festival is celebrated all day, and the next morning everyone sets out in several teams. Yechenxing held the gilded invitation card issued by General Zhenguo, and took his mother Ye Xiyu, Pian Xing, Youjiao and Shangguan Lingyun to the celebration together. And Xiang Wentian, who was Yechenxing's bodyguard, also wore a black cloak and followed vigilantly behind.

Jiuli in the festival is much more lively than usual. One by one, people dressed up in costumes walked through the newly lit streets. Even the things sold on both sides of the street have increased a lot compared to the past, and in addition to all kinds of delicious snacks, there are many interesting knick-knacks that you have never seen before. After a while, there were a lot of them in everyone's storage rings. Even her mother couldn't hold back the rain at night, and the girl's heart flooded and she bought a lot of small things.

In addition to the jubilant residents of Jiuli City, it seems that many monks have rushed back from the demon domain to participate in the Torch Festival. From time to time, Yechen Xing and the others would pass by the monks with the Xuan soldiers on their bodies.

There are many activities in the Torch Festival, and almost everywhere you can see the residents of Jiuli City enjoying themselves. What to guess lantern riddles, visit temple fairs, and even race dragon boats. Before the festival begins after dark, everyone celebrates the most important festival of the year in their own way.

Everyone talked and laughed, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, they happened to come to the bank of the Tuyun River across Jiuli City. The name of this Tuyun River is not grandiose, but it is very wide, and there are many pleasure boats and merchant ships in the river at this time.

On both sides of the river are rows of verdant willow trees, and the branches of the willow trees hang down, which is particularly gratifying.

There are even some residents in Jiuli City who can only take a small sampan that can only accommodate one person, and sell all kinds of fresh fruits to tourists on the riverbank. I believe that at night, there will be a lot of good men and women gathered here, and lanterns will be put off.

Pedestrians on both sides of the river bank are bustling, especially on the bridge across the river, which is even more crowded. All kinds of people come and go, all smiling and enjoying the festive atmosphere. In addition to the night star, several beauties who laughed and laughed all wore white veils, even so, they could not stop their peerless demeanor, attracting the attention of tourists.

Fortunately, Xiang Wentian behind several people always exuded his Xuanling-level momentum, which deterred a lot of Xiaoxiao, so that no long-eyed guy would come to disturb their play.

Youjiao was very excited all the way, looking east and west, and everything she saw was full of curiosity. was pulling Yechen Xing to stop at a food stall selling meat dumplings, but suddenly heard cheers and gongs and drums on the bank of the river. Immediately changed her mind again, took Yechenxing's hand, and asked everyone to follow her to watch the excitement.

For the bewitching children's habits, everyone is willing to get used to her, and the group came to the riverbank, and happened to see that the dragon boat race here was about to start.

"Brother Night, are you also interested in this year's dragon boat race?" Yechenxing was observing the ornate decorations of the participating dragon boats in the upcoming dragon boat race, when he suddenly heard a not-so-pleasant voice behind him. When I turned my head to take a look, I found that it was actually a guy who had a relationship: the eldest son of Heyun, the general of Zhenguo, the first big gentleman in Jiuli City, and Crane Qianxing!

He Qianxing, who appeared in front of Yechen Xing, was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a sexy beauty with heavy makeup, followed by more than a dozen Xuanling-level guards, and he looked like a super second ancestor. Even the woman in his arms happened to know Yechenxing! Isn't it the fox beauty who presided over the demon slave auction in the Fire Rose Auction House before? I didn't expect these two people to be mixed together now, and they are still like glue. It's really a bitch with a dog, forever.

"Uh......h Master! Seeing the woman who had caught herself in the auction, the demon's petite body trembled, and immediately got into Yechenxing's arms, not daring to look at her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yechenxing gently stroked the bewitching little head before calming her emotions.

The fox girl in Crane Qianxing's arms naturally recognized Yechen Star and Enchantress, and giggled in Crane Qianxing's arms, and the soft flesh of the white flowers on her chest also trembled.

On the contrary, when her eyes fell on Shangguan Lingyun, she was obviously surprised! Although he was wearing a white veil, a pair of white fox ears on Shangguan Lingyun's head were not hidden, and the identity of the demon clan was exposed.

"It's the White Fox Clan?" This beautiful woman's ears and tail are red, and the white fox clan is a noble status among the fox clan, with less than a 1 in 1,000 chance of birth. This made the beautiful woman not know whether to come forward and salute for a while. But thinking that she is now a member of the Fire Rose, the fox clan is a demon tribe that often produces beauties, and the fox girl compatriots don't know how much she has sold through her hands. Now that she is still qualified, what qualifications does she have to salute Shangguan Lingyun?

Seeing that Youjiao was frightened, Yechen Xing frowned, and Xiang Wentian behind him rushed directly to the front, "Qiang! ~" With a loud bang, he pulled out a two-handed sword and placed it in front of him.

This move also shocked the guards of Crane Qianxing, and more than a dozen Xuanling-level army elites drew their swords in unison and confronted Xiang Wentian. There was a sudden tension here, and it was immediately surrounded by many residents of Jiuli City who were watching the excitement. Generally seeing how far the monks are fighting and how far they run, they come to see the excitement, not afraid of being affected by the battle, and they are really very strong.

Compared with the disdain of Yechenxing, Crane Qianxing's side is endless envy, although Ye Xiyu and other women are wearing white veils and can't see their true faces, but just a little bit of posture is a few points higher than the sexy stunner in his arms. Not to mention after the veil was lifted. And Yechen Star still takes four trips at a time, which is not much higher than him!

"Is there something wrong with Brother Crane?" It seemed that Yechenxing was weaker in their strength, but Yechenxing calmly asked Crane Qianxing.

"Brother Night, don't worry, my father has specially instructed me, you have been training in Jiuli City for two years, let me clamp my tail a little tighter, don't provoke you. I listen to my daddy! He Qianxing replied with a smile, beckoning the guards beside him to put away their swords.

Seeing that the other party put away his sword, Yechen Xing also gestured to Wentian to put away the Xuan Bing and retreat aside: "Since that's the case, what do you mean now?" ”

"Brother Night is in the limelight now, and he is already a figure with a head and a face, since we happened to meet at the Torch Festival, why don't we play with what we upper-class people should play?" Crane Qianxing said with a smile.

"Oh? What to play? The corners of Yechenxing's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled mysteriously. Playing? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Brother Night, that is the starting point of the annual dragon boat race, and the ending point is the famous Fengbo Building in Jiuli City. The race is ten miles long, and there is a lion bridge outside the storm building, and there are 100 stone lions of different shapes on the bridge, the largest of which will have a red hydrangea hanging from its mouth. Whoever gets there first to pick the red hydrangea is the winner. Why don't you and I choose a team and win or lose? "It turns out that Crane Qianxing has been talking for a long time because he wants to bet on dragon boats with Yechen Star!

"You're going to bet with me?" Nightstar smiled and confirmed again.

"That's right, I remember that not long ago, the emperor gave Brother Night a million Xuanjing, I believe that Brother Night should not be stingy with Xuanjing who bets on dragon boats, right?" Crane Qianxing said with a smile.

"Of course not, what kind of bet?" Yechenxing's eyes were deep, and the pity stars who were not deep in the city on the side were about to hold back their laughter, and laughed out loud. Even Song Yushu and Long Ming all know a truth. That is, never bet with the night stars! From the past to the present, those who dare to gamble on the night star have lost very badly in the end.

"You and I each pick a team and see who wins. As for the gambling money, how about setting 200,000 Xuanjing? As soon as Crane Qianxing's words were spoken, the people around him were already frightened!

As a border city, Jiuli has always been resident by a large number of monks, and Xuanjing has basically become an irreplaceable transaction currency in daily life. But 200,000 Xuanjing is an out-and-out super big number!

At the beginning, Yechen Xing spent 20,000 Xuanjing at the Fire Rose Auction House to auction the demon Jiao, and now after two or three years, the gambling money has increased tenfold!

"Only 200,000?" As a result, Yechenxing's next sentence scared the people who were already lying on the ground unconscious. 200,000 is already super much, okay! Do you want to add more?

"Uh...... Small gambling pleasure, small gambling pleasure...... It's fun! "Crane Qianxing, who was originally full of confidence, was choked by Yechen Star. It's not that he doesn't have more Xuanjing, but he's afraid that he won't win too many Yechen Stars, and his father Heyun will beat him if he knows about it.

"Okay, I can't look down on ordinary people who want to bet 200,000 yuan with me. Since it's Brother Crane who bets with me, then I'll accompany you. Who picks first? Yechenxing smiled and asked Crane Qianxing.

"For the sake of fairness, please choose Brother Night first." Tsuru Chiyuki smiled and made a gesture of please. I'll let you choose first, and you can't deny it if you lose when the time comes.

"Shall I choose first? Good! This made Yechenxing a little surprised, it seems that this crane thousand lines should have another way to win. The Night Star once again looked at the dragon boats that had lined up on the riverbank and were about to start the race.

These dragon boats come in different styles, all with their own characteristics. The crew members of the dragon boat are also wearing the clothes that match the dragon boat, with their arms open, revealing their strong muscles. Sitting on the bow of the boat with his back is a drummer with a large drum in front of him. Once the race begins, the crew will need to slide the oars to the rhythm of his drums to make the boat go faster.

The Star Moon Continent is a continent that belongs to monks, so how can such a major competition be a competition alone? The dark eyes in Yechenxing's eyes shrank strangely, and he once again unfolded his terrifying perception, and explored the past through the river towards several dragon boats that stopped at the starting point.
