The building of a house is a habitat for man, and in the process of construction, it is necessary to consider the worst-case scenario, so that man can find some comfort in the midst of hardship.

For example, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and bright, which is more suitable for the survival of flowers and trees, so that the flowers and trees in the south are always in bloom, and there are colors in all seasons. However, the north is different, the winter in the north is fast and cold, and the colors are always withered, leaving only the vast white snow, gray blue sky and plain color of the earth, so the buildings should be highlighted by bright colors, and the pavilions and pavilions are painted in warm brown-red.

Shuangyue Street, located in the north of Bianjing City, completely follows this law, and its name comes from this: looking at the past from a distance, a dry maple leaf is covered with brown and red, it is a red autumn day in the snow, as if it still has nothing to do with the cold, even if it is really cold, at least the eyes are warm in the past, can deceive themselves, and will not despair.

In the midst of the people coming and going, Su Can turned his head left and right, looked at this crimson building, and said: "Frost Moon Street gathered into a group a few decades ago, originally there were only some small vendors gathered to sell something, when it was cold, it was easy to talk and chat, shoulder to shoulder the burden and shout and ask questions from door to door to be a little more lively, and gradually formed a habit, more and more people gathered, and the business became better and better, and within twenty years, it became a building complex......" He looked back meaningfully at a vendor pushing a cart passing by, and said slowly, " These are all things I heard from the emperor when I came out with the emperor a few years ago. ”

Houses of all sizes rise from the ground, a fire in the pale snow, entrusting people's hopes for happiness, hope for abundant food and clothing, and determination to fight the cold to the end.

"Your Majesty, he must have also listened to what Gonggong Song said. I had heard these stories with him when I was a child, but for as long as I can remember, Frostmoon Street has been what it is now. Zhao Ji happily led the way in front, turned back to Su Can and said, "The history of development, I don't care about it, I only know what it has become like here, and I am very satisfied with it-I like everything here, you see, Su Can, the bluestone slab floor, the mahogany window lattice, and the lantern that was hung out so early to welcome the New Year in the near future, it is really well done, it must be made of fine gold thread-ah, it turns out to be made of cloth?" He was a little disappointed, but instead of a feeling of surprise, "—what a delicate one!"

Su Can followed Zhao Ji to raise his head, and saw the golden tassel under the lantern soft and shining, no wonder Zhao Ji looked over and thought it was real gold and silver in a blink of an eye, but if it was real gold and silver, it would have been stolen a long time ago. It's like the emperor is standing there, he is born to be a hot target, they are like bodyguards, behind the emperor's freedom and leisure, it is their nerve-wracking day and night. No way.

"Baijia buns, golden gourd music fang, Zhang's cloth shoes, moon and silver building...... These are the signature shops on Shuangyue Street, time-honored brands, and they will not disappoint, Su Can, when you are free, you can come and have a look, and the price is not expensive - hey, the things in this place are not as expensive. Don't say it to the Queen Mother after that, she will scold me for only being interested in some garbage......"

Each signboard is a mantra that prays for fortune and prosperity: all year round, day and night, department stores, you name it. People who have settled here only need to sit in the store and wait for customers to patronize, no matter how bad the business is, they have a house; the newcomers are a little more miserable, pushing a small cart back and forth, and the aroma of the food in the car has made Zhao Ji indulge in it for more than ten years, and he loves it very much, so even if he has experienced a lot of terrifying things in a short period of time, the first time he still thinks of coming here to relieve his nervousness, or there is another reason - this is Su Can's speculation.

Zhao Ji was very excited throughout the whole process, which was in stark contrast to Su Can, who had a solemn expression. Zhao Ji said and found that Su Can didn't react, he felt very strange, and asked: "What's the matter, Su Can? Why are you more serious than General Wang? I can understand him, as soon as he is free, I will pull him out every day to go shopping on Frost Moon Street, and it is normal for him to feel bored." But Su Can, you finally came out for a trip, will you feel bored?"

"Of course it's going to be boring, Your Highness King Duan. Su Can smiled bitterly, "Under normal circumstances, men don't get happiness from shopping." ”

Zhao Ji sneered, but he was not angry, and said, "You really dare to say it! But I really think it's funny." Forget it, since you find it boring, then we-" He looked at Su Can's delighted eyes that were close to relief, and said with a wicked smile, "-Of course you have to listen to me, I can go wherever I say, and follow me and don't go around." ”

Su Can raised his hands in surrender, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, listen to you, His Royal Highness Duanwang, whatever you say is what you say, for the sake of the teacher, I don't dare to do anything." However, don't forget our mission, before the end of today, I have to take you back to the palace, and I have to let the Queen Mother know that you are not dead. ”

Zhao Ji replied with a smile: "That's still early, when is it?"

Su Can replied, "It's already past noon, and it's probably about three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Oh, yes. Eating is a top priority. Zhao Ji said, "But it's been almost two hours since I had lunch." ”

"Yes. His Royal Highness King Duan, you just said that you are going to Fengle Building for dinner......"

Zhao Ji let out an embarrassed "ah" and said, "You remember it clearly." However, I said that Fengle Lou just wanted you to know that it was Frost Moon Street, and I said something else, not because I was afraid that you would not know. ”

"No, I can't. Su Can said simply and simply, "Other places are not very safe, His Royal Highness King Duan!"

Zhao Ji pouted and said, "Then how much money did you bring?"

"What do you want to do, Your Highness Duan Wang?" Su Can said vigilantly, "Money dangling around will reveal your whereabouts, so we guards usually don't bring money." ”

"Isn't that good? I came out of the prison, and the money on me was already taken. Zhao Ji said with a smile, "Fengle Lou is not allowed to pay on credit, all of them must be settled on the spot, not even the emperor." No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't do it in Fengle Building. ”

Su Can had no choice but to give up, he muttered, "You're really a troublemaker......

Zhao Ji grinned and asked, "This place is the place with the highest consumption level in the entire Frost Moon Street, I guess the emperor went to Frost Moon Street to inspect before, and he also ate in Fengle Building, right?"

Su Can spread his hands and said: "In addition to Fengle Building, which other store dares to receive the emperor?"

Zhao Ji paused for a moment and said: "Then the emperor may really have some misunderstanding of the people's feelings, in the entire Frost Moon Street, only Fengle Building is the most unsuitable place for ordinary people, and the place where Fengle Building spreads outward with Fengle Building as the center is also slowly spreading from high-level to low-level." As soon as you come up, you will go to Fengle Building, won't it still add to the trouble......"

Su Can said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, but His Royal Highness King Duan, do you know how many dangers the emperor will encounter every time he leaves the palace?"

"The emperor is the only one who is high and unparalleled in the world, who dares to touch him? The people around him are peerless masters, such as you Su Can, how can there be anything?"

Su Can was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "Maybe this is something that can't be prevented." ”

Compared with Wang Liefeng, Su Can was more unfamiliar with this place, and maintained a more serious and deep sense of tension. The memories of this place are not very good, in the final analysis, it is because his daily work revolves around the emperor, responsible for protecting the emperor's safety, no matter where he goes, he has to follow around to see if there are any suspicious characters, and most of the time the answer is yes, he has to go ahead to break this hidden danger. The killer is always hidden in the dark, it is a little bit of wind and grass in the quiet, he is very sensitive to this, he knows the flow of every ritual in the palace life well, and every action has been rehearsed dozens of times, so what kind of sound and movement should be in any place, the slightest mistake will jump out and knock on the top of his head, making him feel excited;

"A few years ago, the emperor came here to see if the people's lives were happy and healthy. To tell the truth, it was a mistake to choose Shuangyue Street from the beginning, the most prosperous street in Bianjing City is when people come out to be chic when they have spare money, and it is happy to pull someone to ask casually on the street, and before the emperor arrived, the itinerant small vendors who set up stalls had already been driven away. ”

Su Can said, seeing the stalls of flowers, birds, fish and insects set up around, he felt an ancient guilt in his heart: he still smashed their rice bowl that day. But looking back, there is no big fault, they are like weeds, they will grow again after cutting, tenacious, pitiful, endless.

Zhao Ji said leisurely as he walked: "I can understand this. There is no name, no surname and no registered person, who hurts the emperor's dragon body and doesn't know where it is sacred, it is really a hidden danger, and he rudely cuts the mess with a quick knife, and bans it together, and if you want to blame it, you will blame yourself for being born decades late. But does it work?"

"Nope. Su Can replied simply and neatly, "Only kind people will be driven away, and those who really have malicious intentions will do everything possible to keep them." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "You know it too...... And then?"

"Well...... later," Su Can recalled, "In short, the process of expulsion was also very unpleasant, and it didn't make things easy and pleasant afterward." Those who should have come still had to come, and there were twenty or thirty people who wanted to kill the emperor at that time...... bar. ”

Zhao Ji's clear eyes widened suddenly: "Twenty or thirty?"

"yes. Su Can smiled lightly, but the words he said were very sensational, "In the crowd, in the old shop, there are people who have just had contact with the emperor, every place, every possibility, all appeared. A few months ago, after the emperor decided to observe the people's feelings, they sneaked into Frostmoon Street one by one, or volunteered to become apprentices without paying for it, or walked around the streets all day long to look around and chat, and have a good relationship with the vendors and people who often came here, they were very smart and prepared, and they did not appear out of nowhere, but unknowingly became a part of Frostmoon Street, and they looked like people who had been here for a long time, but who knew that they became one of them at such a price?"

"Whew, my God. Zhao Ji stopped in front of a sugar painting stall, turned around and asked Su Can, "Is it difficult to deal with?"

"yes. You imagine that you thought that there would be no more threats to a place, and suddenly the murderous aura came from all directions, overwhelming the world, wanting to cover up, you felt surprised and frightened, but all the hidden dangers have been eliminated as far as the eye can see, and only the pious people who kneel on the ground and thank Long En are left, the people who passed by you just now, the people who watched you pass by here, and even the people who held the emperor's hand and spoke just now, they all have the intention of killing the king one by one, and the speed of the outbreak is extremely fast, you almost don't have time to react——"

The old man who painted the sugar scooped out a little melted sugar with a copper spoon, and the spoon formed an inclined angle with the smooth and clean marble tabletop, and the golden sugar flowed down, forming an intricate and exquisite butterfly with the movement of the spoon. When the pattern is formed, the old man takes out a bamboo skewer from the bamboo tube next to him and presses it on the sugar painting, and then slowly pours the syrup in the spoon onto the bamboo skewer, until the sugar painting is slightly dry, the old man picks up the thin iron ruler on the table, cuts and knocks on the connection between the sugar painting and the tabletop, separates the sugar painting from the marble tabletop, and lifts it up with golden light, like solidified honey.

"Thank you-" Zhao Ji dragged out his voice, bowed to the old man, handed the copper plate with one hand, took the sugar painting with the other, took two steps forward, turned around and handed the sugar painting to Su Candao, "Take it, it's very sweet." But the emperor was safe and sound in the end, doesn't it also show that you are very powerful?"

Su Can's gaze moved with the suspicious sugar painting until it entered his hand. Su Can was stunned for a moment, took the candy and painted: "Xie - His Royal Highness King Duan." The battle was very difficult, they used never-before-seen martial arts and illusions to attack the mind, and later after returning to the palace, the Queen Mother suspected that it was a deliberate murder by the Huayang Sect for a long time, but it did not succeed. This must be a rumor leaking from the palace, but after checking for a long time, the real betrayer has not been caught. ”

"It's just for you, take a bite. Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I can't die, I often come here to buy it, and this old man sold it to me." No one will embarrass a little prince, and I don't attract hatred. And then I killed a few people?"

"Okay......" Su Can agreed, but he was very hesitant in his heart, his tongue stretched out and licked it reluctantly, "That's probably it." However, His Royal Highness Duanwang, the reason why we can protect the emperor is that Fengle Building has a great credit, Fengle Building is safe, and it is the safest place in the entire Frost Moon Street, because it is not something that can be entered casually. ”

"You have to have money to enter, even the guys inside have to go through a very long period of observation before they can go to it to serve tea and water. Money, what a simple and cruel truth. Zhao Ji sighed, "Isn't it ridiculous that you don't know that Fengle Lou belongs over there, but you blindly trust it?" I have personally tried many times to confirm that it will not be poisonous, and you dare not eat it when you put it in front of you, isn't this ignorance?"

Su Can heard Zhao Ji's anger, and hurriedly said, "I know, I'll eat it." ”

"Didn't force you to eat. Zhao Ji sighed, snatched the sugar painting from Su Can's hand, took a big bite, and said, "I just think that you usually train, almost never come into contact with sweet things, so I want you to taste the taste of sugar, eat sweet, people can be happy, and finally come out for this trip." Isn't it not good for your body if you eat too much? Just taste it a little. But I can't forgive you for thinking it's poisonous and not eating it, because it's a reason to be suspicious, or because this old man is an ordinary commoner. After all, you don't think they're the opposite of you, but aren't you born from the common people?"

"But Your Highness King Duan, you have to listen to me. It's a very good time, and you're being targeted, so it's better to be careful. Su Can said, "Maybe you think that Frost Moon Street is a safe place, but that is only for you at that moment, because it has nothing to do with you." But I have experienced that incident, not only did we resist desperately, but dozens of innocent people also died, and when the killers were red-eyed, they didn't care whether the people around them lived or died!"

Zhao Ji was a little angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I am responsible for my life, don't you care about me?" You have to ask me to go to Fengle Lou to eat, but I don't have the money to eat, so it's better to starve, I'll starve to death, okay? Let's go, go back to the palace, let me faint in front of the Queen Mother, just let her see how miserable and pitiful her grandson is, okay!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and was about to leave, Su Can sighed, stepped forward and grabbed him, and said, "No!

"There's no money to eat Fengle Building!" Zhao Ji said angrily, "Do you want to bet you there?"

"Okay," Su Can suddenly smiled, "The things on my body are valuable, and my body is also valuable!"

"Oh my God!" Zhao Ji looked back in disbelief, "You're really open-minded, Su Can." ”

Su Can shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head and said, "Don't run! I can do even more terrible things." ”

He is much more terrifying than Wang Liefeng, Zhao Ji thought. Wang Liefeng listened to him for everything, but he would urge him to go back earlier, this Su Can wished that he would go home quickly, and he couldn't help but be willful. And he seems to have provoked Su Can, Su Can is so terrible when he is angry, even if he pretends to be angry, it seems that he can't end it. Zhao Ji rolled his eyes and sighed in his heart, at this time he heard someone calling him-

"Ah, isn't this His Royal Highness King Duan?"

Zhao Ji reacted quickly, and immediately knew who was coming, so he adjusted his mood to control his expression, and raised his head with a bright smile: "Long time no see, Cai Ju'an." ”
