Chapter 172: Shangyuan Lamp Market
At the entrance of the Middle Street Market, a team of seven people was parked, looking at the families who were definitely either rich or noble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Judging from the posture and dress, the real master of this is obviously the handsome and noble young man standing at the front. What is more interesting is that there is a beautiful little boy in the team, who is pretending to be reserved and sitting in the arms of a grandmother, with a pair of big eyes shining!
This group of people is naturally An Lingye who came out of the palace.
An Lingye deliberately streamlined the team, in addition to him and An Lingxi, he only brought Gonggong Wan and Mama Zhao on the surface, as well as a little eunuch running errands and two guards. On the street of the festival, everyone with some status is equipped with a few guards, so An Lingye's configuration is not eye-catching at all, what is eye-catching is his unique aura that has been in a high position for a long time, attracting the attention of passers-by all the time, especially some women......
However, the few people who accompanied him were used to it, and they all ignored it~╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
"Master Qiqi, that half-pillar incense is shopping in the lamp market on South Third Street." Gonggong Wan withdrew his gaze from the crowd, turned around and delivered the latest information to An Lingye in time. And an ordinary face in the crowd disappeared again.
An Lingye nodded imperceptibly, and Gonggong Wan immediately signaled one of the guards to go to the front to open the way for the emperor, and several people rushed to South Third Street.
The warm light hit An Lingye's perfect side face like art, smeared with a kind of beauty that entered the world and came out of the dust, and softened his facial features and contours even more, and even the slightly frowning brows of Ping Su always seemed to relax at this time. Grandpa Wan inadvertently caught a glimpse of His Majesty Emperor Zhao's style, and only felt that it was gentleness and vitality that he had never had in his impression.
The old man in the palace who looked like a human spirit seemed to think of something, and then he was slightly shocked by his thoughts, so he quickly lowered his head and looked at it as if he hadn't seen it, as usual.
Of course, An Lingye didn't know what Gonggong Wan was thinking, and he didn't notice the weirdness of Gonggong Wan's flash, he only thought in his mind, what was that person doing at the moment? Is it to laugh and play with his male pets, or to seize the opportunity to make friends with powerful people?
Well, the emperor greatly stated that he did not want to see either of these two situations!
However, as long as it's that person, it won't be unknown, right?
Sure enough, before he crossed the wall, he could hear it first.
"Dugu Gongzi has already answered Huang Gongzi's question, and now Dugu Gongzi has changed the question." A grown man shouted, his voice tinged with excitement and excitement to stir up the atmosphere.
As soon as An Lingye heard it, he knew that he was fighting lantern riddles at this time.
As long as you provide three puzzles and puzzles to the host store, the store can go to the ring if you pass the review. Three rounds in a game, two wins in three games or automatic admitting defeat, the loser gets out of the ring, substitutions continue to challenge, until no one comes to the stage to face the battle, and the one who remains is the final winner and can get the store's prize. Although it is not ruled out that there are really some poor people who want to get prizes through fighting, most of the vassal and elegant people participate in the competition just to show off their literary brilliance or have a festival to find a pastime, and they do not take that little bit of color to heart.
"Listen up, the master's title is: eighty-eight, play an idiom." The man who spoke should be the "Dugu Son". The man's voice was low and magnetic, but it seemed to be dyed with a touch of arrogance that belonged to his master's temperament.
Hearing this familiar voice, An Lingye in the crowd, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, and he could even imagine that person had an arrogant and unbalanced appearance, just like he was above the court.
"Ah, it's the sound of poop!" An Lingxi exclaimed excitedly, his little face was full of anticipation!
With the help of the guards, An Lingye smoothly approached the ring without making much movement, but this feeling of rubbing shoulders is really not good. And just when he was about to break through the human wall, An Lingye took advantage of his height of one meter and eight to have an unobstructed view of the situation on the high platform in the center, and somehow, he suddenly stopped and hid behind several burly men.
In the ring, Yang Jiu was dressed in low-key and luxurious black, and his face was as An Lingye thought, but his smile was no longer the rivalry in the court, and it seemed to be so amorous and evil at the moment, in other words, the small appearance was quite seductive~
But what made An Lingye care more was that the closest to the ring, obviously with Yang Jiu, suppressed a group of people. Most of them are faces that they have never seen, and a few of them are bewitching and cheap people who are the main male pets at first glance, and the only nine male pets in Youwang's Mansion and nearly ten people wearing various subordinate costumes have been removed, and there are still five or six sons whose identities are unknown, but after seeing the genius little champion he appointed last year, An Lingye also guessed a few points about the identities of these five or six people.
Is it a date or a chance encounter?
And each of these people has a beautifully made lantern in their hands, and although the shape is different, the style can be seen to be from a family. As long as An Lingye raised his head slightly, he could see the sparse and irregular lanterns hanging on the hanging rope of the lanterns hanging on the ring, and understood that most of the lanterns originally hung on those vacant seats should have been won away by Yang Jiu~
Those riddles that have puzzles for the opponent but are not answered will be written on a sign and hung on a new lantern, which is equivalent to giving it to the store to attract ordinary customers who are guessing the riddle. Looking at Yang Jiu's group, carrying more than 20 lanterns, it was not easy to come to the store to get enough of them, and the lanterns of this one are really beautiful, it is estimated that the store is really distressed~ But if the lanterns are not beautiful, Yang Jiu must not be able to look at them!
As for why An Lingye suddenly stopped, because he found that he was running with an impulse, but when he came to his eyes, he realized that he was really impulsive! The dozens of people over there are like a small world, how can they insert themselves into it? He didn't want to waste time with some inconsequential people, but did he want to show his identity or let Yang Jiu send off guests? What has become of Emperor Tang and Tang!
And when he stopped this step, a certain enthusiasm that came out of breath was like pressing a pause button, and reason seemed to return, and An Lingye suddenly realized the absurdity of his today......
In this way, An Lingye sorted out and precipitated his own thoughts, and at the same time, he began to solve the mystery with the onlookers. "Eighty-eight, play an idiom", what is it......
An Lingxi nested in her grandmother's arms, the altitude was not enough, and she didn't know the situation at all, but she was curious in her heart, as if she was scratching a cat, why her father, who had clearly said that he was going to come to find Baba, suddenly stopped. It can be seen that his father's face is not angry and arrogant after he is silent, Xiao Xi'er only dares to pout silently~
"How many puzzles does this Dugu boy have, this is the eighth person, right?" The crowd next to him sighed.
The puzzles in each battle can't be the same, so playing against eight people means that Yang Jiu has already come up with 24 questions! It seems that the store is making a lot of money! But......
An Lingye gave Gonggong Wan a look, and the latter immediately approached the person who spoke before in understanding, and asked, "What kind of character is this Dugu Gongzi, is he very powerful, why haven't you heard of it?" ”
The man glanced at Gonggong Wan a little strangely, and originally heard that the voice of the person was slightly disobedient, but when he saw that the other party was richly dressed, he immediately explained: "Actually, I don't know, it's just to have a good time, I only know that the son claims to be Dugu and seeks defeat, and has won eight people!" ”
Dugu seeks defeat, An Lingye muttered this name, I really don't know whether to think it's funny or sneer, probably both. He withdrew his attention and continued to look at the stage, and had already reached the other side of the question, "Bamboo is a household, and it is also an idiom!" ”
This question is really not very profound, An Lingye faintly had the answer in his heart, but before he could confirm it, Yang Jiu first said loudly: "Broken fragments." "Very confident.
And the answer given by the emcee next explained Yang Jiu's self-confidence and the audience's habits.
"The 'stable' of the stables, type."
Guessing word by word, this is difficult, An Lingye fell into thought, and Yang Jiu's opponent on the stage was obviously even more anxious. However, the ending is visible, the other party admits defeat, and exits after some scenes have passed. Then the master of ceremonies stood up and shouted that there could be a challenger, and the record of nine consecutive wins was really daring. And An Lingye finally knew why Yang Jiu wanted to participate in the ring, if only on the surface.
The store provides three kinds of color heads, and the winner can choose one of the three: ten taels of silver, one Seiko square inkstone, and one bird and phoenix lantern. Obviously, the value is not the point, the lottery provides a choice for people with different identities and interests, which is the wonderful.
How much, An Lingye could guess which one Yang Jiu would choose.
"Well, the most beautiful lamp I've seen so far is in my hand! Whoever performs the best tonight will be rewarded... Ahem, to whom! Yang Jiu saw Xi Linfeng and quickly changed his wording.
"Teacher, what is the best, is it the puzzle that you want to answer the most correctly?" Fu Qiyang asked. Fortunately, the surroundings were noisy, and An Lingxi couldn't hear his voice, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have exploded! Baba who I haven't seen myself yet, is actually entangled by that nasty guy! It just doesn't make sense! (╰_╯)
"This ......" Yang Jiu was about to explain, when he suddenly paused, and he had already walked into the crowd and looked towards the other end of the street, he heard a strange noise, and couldn't help frowning. And as if to confirm his feelings, a loud cry for help suddenly came from the other side of the crowd-
"Help!"
"Let's go out of the water!"
"Run!"
It's not so much a call for help as it is adding to the chaos! Sure enough, the already chaotic and noisy crowd exploded in an instant, and a lot of howls and sorrows could be heard in the noisy shouting, Yang Jiu couldn't help frowning, every time he encountered this kind of thing, the biggest casualty was not because of the fire, but because of the stampede! And in this case, if you don't use artificial means, you can't protect the people around you!
These thoughts flashed by, Yang Jiu turned his head to look at everyone, a few Confucian scholars and their servants on the edge had been pushed away by the flow of people, Yang Jiu hurriedly ordered: "The subordinates all protect their masters!" Yi Nanjie protects Wuxiu...... and then said to Chiyang, "Xiaochen'er will be handed over to you, and I will be in charge of the overall situation." Finally, he yelled at everyone, and began to move with the current to the other side of the street.
Yang Jiu suddenly felt that the clothes on his chest were grabbed by someone, and when he looked down, he found that he didn't know when Hua Yan had arrived by his side, and at this moment, under the chaos and crowding, he snuggled up to his chest, and his little hands trembled and grabbed his support. Because Hua Yan also lowered his head, Yang Jiu couldn't see the young man's expression, but the young man's move made his brows tremble slightly, but he didn't say anything under this situation, and let him go. There are not many guards I bring, but there are a lot of masters in Youwangfu, and how many I can protect is a few~
And Hua Yan was relieved to see that the temptation she had plucked up her courage was not rejected, and at the same time she was overjoyed! And then, the worry and panic about the current situation surged again, but when he found out that Yang Jiu was protecting himself from being hit by the crazy crowd, he felt more relieved and throbbing than ever! I just feel that the chest I am clinging to is so warm and thick, as if I can rely on it for a lifetime......
Hua Yan's thoughts were insignificant to Yang Jiu, he had been paying attention to the movement of the crowd, praying that the disaster would not escalate—and at a certain moment as he looked around, he saw a familiar figure flash from the roof, but before he could take a closer look, what he was worried about happened!
"Ahh My clothes! My clothes are on fire! ”
"My hair! Help me! ”
"Ah, don't come here! Get away from me! ”
Lantern Festival, who doesn't have a lantern in their hands? If you don't put out the fire in time, it's a moving fire source!
And this time, the scene is even more chaotic! Originally, it could be regarded as a group of people who were bent on running towards the well-off, ah no, running to the avenue, but now it is completely a group of wild horses with prolapsed anus!
"Please, let me pass, my child...... Ah, don't, don't step on him! Mao'er! Maoer! ”
"Ah, mother, mother! Ahhh ”
This kind of situation has happened from time to time since just now, but it is not easy for Yang Jiu to ignore it this time, the little child who was trampled on is an arm's length away next to labor and management! Next Olympics!
Yang Jiu scolded in a low voice, suddenly raised his hand and took out Hua Yan, who was almost embedded in his arms, and pushed it towards Yi Nanjie, and then said to Xi Linfeng on his side: "I have few guards, I promise you to help take care of these few in my family." ”
Xi Linfeng's doubts were only one thought, and then he immediately nodded. How can he say that he is also the third son of the Hubu Shangshu, and there are still a lot of entourages when he goes out.
And just after Xi Linfeng responded, Yang Jiu plunged into the crowd, picked up the dying "Mao'er" with one hand, flew over the shoulders of several people, and inserted the gorgeous lantern in his hand into the hole carved by the eaves when he swept over an eaves, and finally forcefully inserted into the flow of people, fell to the ground, lifted up the woman who was squeezed to the ground and curled up because she wanted to go retrograde, and performed light skills again, went to the roof of the street, and ran directly across two streets before leaving the two of them, and did not look at the rest of the woman's life and gratitude. Immediately pick up and return.
Although a mother and son were saved, this was completely a drop in the bucket, and Yang Jiu knew that this was not the solution.
He looked up at the buildings that were lit by fire, and frowned slightly.
At this moment, he heard some heavy and fast footsteps, and looked in the direction of the sound, it was Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for maintaining order in the city! Today's situation is special, and there are especially many people involved in the maintenance team, so of course such a big fire will not go unnoticed.
Jin Wuwei was carrying a bucket or sandbag in his hand, but Yang Jiu's brows did not stretch, because in the face of the crazy crowd, this little guard's power was not to fight the fire, or to sink into the sea, or even to add chaos!
A touch of hesitation flashed in Yang Jiu's indifferent peach blossom eyes. He stopped abruptly, and then turned and ducked into a dark and remote alley.
"Boom-" A buzz exploded in everyone's minds, and at that moment, it shocked all the unknown crowd, and even made them forget to flee! And just when they reacted to the urgency of fleeing for their lives in the next second, everyone heard a majestic voice sounding out of thin air. The voice, with an indescribable sacredness, seemed to resound through the sky.
"It's all quiet for Benjun!"
The crowd was in an uproar - who was it? Did you hear that? I heard it, you heard it, oh, everyone heard it! How can this be done?! Isn't it the top master on the rivers and lakes? But what does this master want to do? It's not as important as running for your life if you want to do anything, right?
The crowd was still stirring.
On the other side, An Lingye, who relied on his skills to break away from the crowd at the beginning, immediately turned around when he heard this voice, and looked through a row of building walls as if to see through what was happening on the street. There was a group of people standing beside him who followed him out of the palace, even if it was an errand eunuch, he didn't lose it, and the entourage that could be selected in the elite soldier mode was not of any ordinary quality?
Although An Lingye was out of danger, he did not go far, after all, the purpose of his trip had not been achieved. Although he thought that An Lingyou was the best to be trampled into meat sauce inside, he believed that that person was absolutely unscathed! And now this sudden change has made him a little more interested and vigilant about the encounter of this trip—who is it? When did such a master come to the imperial capital?
An Lingye knew that it would be difficult for him to put his skills in the middle of the rivers and lakes, but he still had a certain understanding of the level of cultivation, such a large-scale sound transmission, and it was so full of energy, it would definitely not be possible to do it without more than one Jiazi's internal force! But what surprised him the most was that the voice of this man who claimed to be Benjun sounded so young!
He thought of Yang Jiu for no reason, but then ruled out this possibility. Yang Jiu confessed before, his internal strength came from the transmission of power, excluding the loss, and the power obtained was nearly forty years - it doesn't matter if it's true or not, but An Lingye has also fought with Yang Jiu no matter what he says, although it is not a formal competition, but the feeling that these two give him can be described as an abyss! And based on this comparison, he is even more jealous of this man who suddenly appeared!
As if he was afraid that His Majesty Emperor Zhao's heart and liver had not been upside down, the man continued to speak: "Disturb the rest of this monarch, and if you don't want to die, you will obediently listen to this monarch's order." Oh, let's report the name of this gentleman, my name, Long Aotian. ”
The sharp silence of the air is like a stone piercing the air, and then there is the turbulence of a thousand waves!
Who is Long Aotian, and who in this continent doesn't know who Long Aotian is?! Oh my God, is it the Divine Monarch?! Yes, it must be! Who else but Lord Shenjun has such a miraculous means? Is the Lord God here to save us?
They haven't forgotten that they are still facing the threat of death~
Desperate for survival, no one notices their Kami-sama's lines, which don't sound like a savior.
"Lord Shenjun, please save us!"
Respond to every call.
An Lingye's pupils dilated uncontrollably for a moment when he heard that name, and then he made a gesture, and several black shadows appeared beside him, but there was no nighthawk among them. The effect of hiding in the shadows is even more unexpected, although he thinks that if he really wants to make a move on himself, even if he pulls out thousands of troops, he may not be able to resist it.
Under the heavy protection of the guards, An Lingye left An Lingxi, went to the roof, and looked for the shadow of the heavy eaves to lie dormant and peep.
As far as the eye could see, the horror of the crowd was terrifying. The wounded took the opportunity to get up, and the lost gathered silently, all of them watching with concern as the fire spread slowly but inexorably, but they did not dare to flee despite the orders of the Son of God, but some of the thieves were still moving towards the edge of the crowd.
An Lingye didn't see who was more suspicious, and he couldn't judge where he might be hiding, although there was a saying that the master was transmitting the sound for thousands of miles, but since that person said that he was noisy, it must not be far from here~
After a few glances, An Lingye found nothing, but saw a few slightly impressed faces, he thought about it, it seemed to be the person next to An Lingyou just now? It seems that they have also been separated, and I don't know what his situation is now, and I know how this emperor feels when he appears in the imperial capital......
Suddenly, An Lingye's gaze paused-what was inserted on the eaves was An Lingyou's Hundred Birds and Phoenix Lantern? How could it be there? Where is he?
"Shut up." Everyone heard Shenjun's words again, and naturally, they didn't dare to disobey.
"Now, everyone is for Benjun to retreat quietly to both sides of the road, and if there is a violation of the order, Benjun does not mind killing a hundred people."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in awe! The people who had wanted to remind the Divine Monarch of the raging flames also shut up, but they suddenly remembered a rumor a few months ago that the Divine Son had tortured and killed the famous and decent people for no reason......
Is the Divine Monarch really a savior? The crowd couldn't help but have such doubts.
"Jin Wuwei's people, don't come in quickly!"
Everyone was puzzled, An Lingye's eyes flashed, and Jin Wuwei, who was named, was like waking up from a big dream, holding the fire extinguishing equipment in his hand and breaking through the sea of people without the slightest effort, which can be said to be a welcome in the middle of the road!
"The young and strong take the handle, and the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant leave in an orderly manner." The Divine Monarch continued to command. However, the people who eat melons are obviously sluggish...... So soon I heard the voice threatening, "Can't hear Benjun's words? Whose blood is needed to sacrifice the flag? ”
Now, everyone's movements are sharp! There were even people who spontaneously began to organize, extinguishing the fire of the fire, evacuating the evacuee, in good order. And those who left this street, some people hurriedly went to find a medical center, and some people found a safe place and began to gossip full of blood! And as he spoke, someone sensed that something was wrong—could it be a little too plain? Shouldn't the Son of God call the wind and rain to extinguish the fire?
"Don't you see that Lord Shenjun doesn't want to come forward? Calling for wind and rain will definitely do Dafa deeds, but won't it be exposed? "Some people think it's the truth.
"Yes~ But why is the Divine Monarch reluctant to come forward?"
"How do I know that! But what a noble character the Divine Monarch is, naturally it's not something anyone who wants to see it~"
“…… You say, isn't that one, temperamental, temperament is not very good......"
"Shhhh What are you talking about? I don't know where that one is, if you want to teach me, do you want to live! The man looked left and right, lest a son of God would come out of nowhere. However, even he didn't realize that when he said this, he had subconsciously classified Miko as a character who was "ruthless and murderous without blinking".
Although none of them dared to judge how Lord Shenjun would be, they at least knew that there was something to talk about for the next period of time! This is the common sentiment of most people who have experienced the water walk today.
And here, the Divine Monarch didn't speak out again after threatening that sentence. However, everyone did not dare to relax and chew the root of their tongue. In the excitement and trepidation, everything gradually fell into place.
No one noticed that in the still huge flow of people, a black shadow joined them. It wasn't until the black shadow took a few steps that the aura that could not be ignored gradually appeared, and by the time some people around him noticed him, the black shadow had unconsciously begun to swim against the current......
Yang Jiu went against the flow of people, looked at a lantern inserted in the eaves in the distance and couldn't cry or laugh, and almost forgot to say~
However, after Yang Jiu walked a distance, he saw a person who should not have appeared here - Yun Wuxiu.
Yun Wuxiu, who was dressed in white, looked a little embarrassed at this time, sitting on the steps at the edge of the alley, yo, this style of painting is not quite right! However, Yun Wuxiu's expression was not flustered at all, exuding his signature calm aura, and even people passing by in a hurry couldn't help but look at him strangely.
Yang Jiu didn't think much about it, walked up to Yun Wuxiu, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Yun Wuxiu raised his head slightly and replied lightly: "Scattered." ”
Yang Jiu rolled his eyes, isn't this nonsense! "Where's Yi Nanjie?" That guy stands to reason that even if he doesn't have his own explanation, he should protect Yun Wuxiu and never leave, right? It's weird!
"It's too confusing."
This answer is very general, the imagination space is really not small, Yang Jiu didn't have time to ask in detail, so he changed the question: "Why don't you leave with everyone and wait for the fire to come over and roast the whole sheep?" ”
"The fire is about to go out~ Thank you to someone~"
The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, I really don't know if it's an illusion, Yang Jiu always feels that Yun Wuxiu's words mean something!
"Then why are you sitting here, if you wear thick clothes, you won't be afraid of the cold floor! How do I not know when you were so informal? Yang Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Yun Wuxiu finally had a slightly different expression, frowned, and smiled bitterly: "My foot is twisted." ”
"......" Yang Jiu's face was distorted for a second, and Yun Wuxiu's painting style today was really not right! Such a jade-like character, today he is a little embarrassed and close to the people!
Although the complaint in his heart was very joyful, Yang Jiu immediately squatted down when he heard this, lifted the hem of Yun Wuxiu's robe and was about to lift the young man's foot to check the situation, but he was held down by one hand, and when he looked up, he heard Yun Wuxiu prompt with a request: "Lord Wang, this is on the street." ”
"Oh, I'm in a hurry."
Yun Wuxiu smiled disappreciatively, "It's not serious, if the prince has something to do, he can leave first, and Wuxiu should be fine for a while." ”
Yang Jiu shook his head slightly, "You are stupid, how could I leave you here alone." As he spoke, he picked up the sitting young man horizontally, ignoring the embarrassment of the person in his arms, and was particularly naturally concerned, "Will this be uncomfortable for the feet?" ”
"Lord Wang, let's let Wuxiu down......" Although he spoke a sentence fluently, the young man looked sideways at Yang Jiu's chest, obviously avoiding the eyes of outsiders.
Yang Jiu suddenly felt happy for no reason.
"You want me to carry you?" Yang Jiu maliciously gave the second option.
"Wuxiu can walk on his own......"
"If the sprain gets worse, do you know how I will punish you for not loving yourself as the king's pet?"
Yun Wuxiu stopped talking, and Yang Jiu flew up to the roof with the person in his arms in his arms. Originally, he didn't want to be too eye-catching, but Yun Wuxiu's current situation, he didn't want to go to the crowd to squeeze out a second injury for him!
And Yang Jiu did this, An Lingye quickly noticed his whereabouts and saw where Yang Jiu's goal was. With a few thoughts in his mind, he suddenly walked out of the shadows, flew to the roof across the street with two guards, and waited for the man who had taken the lantern to turn around and look at him.
(Missing for a week, seeing that there are babies in the group to understand, it's really heartwarming~~ Although it's a pity that I couldn't catch up with the eleventh day, but at least it's still the National Day holiday, so I still wish everyone a happy National Day!) Have fun! (To be continued.) )
