On the day of the Lantern Festival, the whole capital is lively in the morning, and there are countless young men and women coming and going on the road, which is much more than in the past. Lantern Festival is the first full moon night of the year, which is a good day for courtship and a date for lovers. After Dongfang Du accompanied the dark clouds to eat the rice balls that symbolized reunion, he went to the street to enjoy the lanterns.

Changyue Inn is located in the most prosperous area of Jingzhou City, as soon as you go out, you can see all kinds of lanterns, and every few zhang away, there will be dragon and lion dances and other performances, plus the onlookers from time to time come a few cheers, so that the whole street looks even more lively.

After walking for a short distance, Dark Cloud noticed something unusual, this Banlan, who had been following them step by step in the past, was not following them at this moment, which made her heart can't help but rise, "Du, why didn't Banlan come out with us?" "After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't seen Banlan all day today.

The crowd surged in case the dark clouds were squeezed away, Dongfang Du added a little strength to his hand and clenched her hand before replying, "Banlan she is with Gu Hongyi." He smiled comfortingly at Darkcloud, trying to put her at ease.

"Really?" Dark Cloud asked softly, always feeling that it was not so simple. Ban Lanruo was just with Gu Hongyi, so there was no need to be separated from them. I haven't seen Banlan all day today, is it because I arranged last night's affairs? The feeling of palpitations made the dark clouds become trance-like, and the figures overlapped, and it was a little difficult to see.

Dongfang Du took Dark Cloud and walked a few steps, and heard the passers-by around him say that Qingshui River was putting river lanterns, and turned his head to talk to Dark Cloud, but saw that her whole person was wrong, and her eyes were looking ahead without focus, looking preoccupied.

"Yun'er, what's wrong?" Turning to face the dark cloud, his right hand pressed lightly on her left arm, "Not feeling well?" If you're not feeling well, I'll take you back. ”

Dark Cloud was about to shake his head and say that it was okay, but suddenly remembered what happened last night, so he nodded and said, "Go back." "It's safer to stay in an inn than outside, and if something happens, you can't use your sword or fist.

After coming out for a while, Dongfang Du took the dark clouds back to the Changyue Inn, and as soon as he entered the lobby, the innkeeper greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Ling, Young Lady Ling, why did you come back so quickly?" I heard that there was a lantern riddle guessing conference on West Street, didn't you go there to play? ”

After speaking, I found that the faces of the two were not very good, one was preoccupied, and the other looked solemn, what was wrong?

The innkeeper was slightly stunned, and asked tentatively, "But Mrs. Gongzi is unwell?" Do you want someone to ask the doctor to come over and take a look at Mrs. Childe? ”

Dongfang Du glanced at the dark clouds with pity, turned his head to the innkeeper and said, "No need, you can just send a pot of water to my room." After a pause, he added, "Don't put tea leaves, boiling warm water is enough." After speaking, he led the dark cloud upstairs.

After entering the room, he sat down at the table with Dark Cloud, and the innkeeper personally brought a pot of water up.

"Childe, the white water you wanted, without any tea leaves, the temperature is just right." Smiling, he handed the high-six petal Ru porcelain pot in his hand to Dongfang Du, "If the prince has any other instructions, just call the small one directly." ”

Dongfang Du held the porcelain teapot in one hand and closed the door with the other before turning around and returning to the table. He passed the two upside-down teacups with water, poured a small half cup of warm water, handed it to Dark Cloud, and said softly: "Yun'er, drink a glass of water." Placing the porcelain teapot gently on the table, he sat down beside Dark Cloud and gazed at her tenderly.

Darkcloud took the teacup, took a sip, and placed it on the table.

"Du, I always feel a panic in my heart, my heart beats very chaotically, and I always feel that something bad will happen." Turning his head to look at Dongfangdu, his eyes were a little dim, he glanced at Dongfang Du in a daze, and continued: "The poisoning has not yet been investigated, the death of Dark Wind has not moved, and someone has hired Qingqiulou to rob you tonight......"

Wave after wave of unevenness, I'm afraid things are not so easy to solve.

Dongfang Du smiled and reached out to hold Dark Cloud's hand, "I am here for everything, you don't have to worry, besides, you are the Pavilion Master of Huangquan Pavilion, and it is not the style of the Cloud Pavilion Lord to be so timid." "In the four years that she has been away, Dark Cloud is the cold-faced pavilion master of Huangquan Pavilion, she is cold to people and kills mercilessly, why did she become a little woman as soon as she came to her?

"Yun'er, inside and outside the inn, there are people with me." It's not just her who is here, presumably the disciples of the Yellow Spring Pavilion of Dark Cloud are also secretly protecting them. The disciple of the Yellow Spring Pavilion of Dark Cloud will kill the life of anyone in the world, except for her and himself.

But even though he knew that there were so many people inside and outside the inn, Dark Cloud's heart was still pounding. Dark Cloud grabbed Dongfangdu's hand with his backhand and pressed it on his chest, "My heart is still very messy, something will happen that we didn't expect tonight." "I don't have heart palpitations for no reason!

Sitting in the room like this, there is always an illusion of sitting still, Dongfang Du thought about it and said: "Yun'er, if you are really worried, we will go back to the palace immediately." "Going back to the palace can make Dark Cloud no longer worry so much, right?

At the mention of returning to the palace, Dark Cloud's heart beat faster and faster, "Don't, don't go back to the palace." "These days, the palace is more dangerous than the outside of the palace, if you rush back to the palace tonight, I am afraid that there will be an accident on the way back to the palace, and it is safest to stay in this inn.

Outside the inn was full of people, and the inn was quiet, especially on the second floor of the inn, it was even more quiet and terrifying, as if there was no one else except the two of them.

Just when Dongfang Du wanted to ask why he didn't go back to the palace, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps going upstairs, and then Dongfang Du's door was knocked, "Son, open the door quickly!" It was Banlan's voice, the voice was anxious, it seemed that something big had happened.

Why did Banlan come back all of a sudden? Dark Cloud was puzzled, and Dongfang Du had already gotten up and opened the door.

"Come in and talk." Dongfang Du turned sideways to let Banlan into the house, then locked the door, turned to face Banlan, and asked, "Banlan, what's going on?" ”

As soon as Banlan entered the house, she didn't care about the dark clouds, and said directly: "Childe, I have transferred a hundred Mu Zhenwei and fifty Jin Zhenwei, and they have been arranged around the inn. ”

If this is the case, there is no need to panic.

Sure enough, Banlan took a breath and continued: "Jin Zhenwei is good at tracking and counter-tracking, and the leader of Jin Zhenwei said that there are no suspicious people around the inn......"

Dongfang Du frowned, and immediately thought of something, and without waiting for Banlan to say the latter words, he said directly: "Send an order to Zhenwei and let them stand by around the palace!" He turned to Dark Cloud and said, "Yun'er, let's go back to the palace immediately!" Immediately, immediately! ”
