Chapter 11: Lantern Festival
"How do you convince me that you are Su Qiaotong, the daughter of Su Guogong?" Fang Yayue asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Qiaotong frowned unhappily, her left hand subconsciously fiddled with the ends of the hair on her chest, and her tone was a little angry: "Since you don't believe it, then why do you need to ask?" ”
yes, since you don't believe her, why ask? Su Qiaotong's undeniable answer not only did not make Fang Yayue angry, but made him can't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
Su Qiaotong looked at him vigilantly with a neurotic look, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. Why are you smiling so incomprehensibly, looking like an idiot?
Fang Yayue also realized that her smile like this would make others too uneasy, so she coughed lightly twice, straightened her expression, and then continued: "However, I heard that the daughter of Su Guogong was summoned into the palace by the emperor, how can it ...... Will they live on the streets? ”
Su Qiaotong didn't answer his question, only lowered his eyes, walked sideways to the fence to the side, and stared at the flowers and trees under the fence.
Fang Yayue was extremely patient, and she didn't rush, just stood behind her and waited quietly.
Finally, Su Qiaotong let out a sigh of relief and said softly: "Or, you hand me over to the emperor and let me live." Or, you give me to the queen and let me die. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yayue raised her eyebrows in surprise. I was surprised by her straightforwardness, speaking of which, she and she had never intersected, and she didn't even have a minimum understanding of herself, so she would tell herself about her situation so clearly.
It seems that she is gambling, betting on her instincts and luck.
Luckily, she was lucky.
The Lantern Festival is celebrated by the whole country. Everywhere is lit up and people are flowing.
The people who are far away on the western border of Jiuping country, at this time, have also taken to the streets, guessing the lanterns, admiring the moon, swimming in dragon boats, a peaceful and peaceful. However, behind this peaceful and comfortable place, the enemy army of Worthy is planning a bloody storm in the dark.
Su Changzhen, the Duke of Su Guo, did not wait for Vice General Fang Maozhu to come back, and he was not sure whether Su Qiaotong had entered the palace safely, and he was always anxious in his heart.
Tonight, however, there is no room for him to be distracted. He knew that the Lantern Festival was a great opportunity for the enemy troops of Worthy to attack, and they would definitely not let it go.
And the bustle in the capital is even more than that in the western border. Colorful lanterns are hung everywhere, visitors are weaving, laughter, singing and dancing. The princes and grandchildren of the palace gathered together, admired the moon and ate wine, watched dances and enjoyed music, so chic. Even some wealthy ladies who rarely go out will go to the lantern festival to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles, listen to the drama and drink tea in the company of the family maids.
According to the usual practice, at the annual Lantern Festival, the emperor will bring a few close ministers to go out on patrol in micro-costumes, go to the Lantern Festival for a while, and have fun with the people. Therefore, some folk artists or people with martial arts are vying to find a place to show their specialties at the Lantern Festival. If you are lucky and are favored by the emperor, it is not necessary to give a reward, and it is also possible to find an official position.
"Hey, hey, look at this side! The golden bell cover iron cloth shirt is not as stiff as ours. Come and take a look, take a look. Don't miss it. "What was shouting on the side of the road was a burly man with a dark face and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
After his shouting, the tourists on the side of the road slowly gathered in his direction and curiously.
"Hah! Everyone, look good. Seeing that people were almost around, the strong man glanced at the two young men who were squatting behind him.
One of the young men standing, who looks very thin, has a fair complexion, and there is a hint of shyness in his expression, as if he is not used to it, and is watched by the crowd in front of the public.
Another squatting young man, with wheat-colored skin and single eyelids, looked like a child, and had a stick of grass in his mouth. Hearing the strong man's greeting, he spit out the grass in his mouth, stood up, first rubbed his palms, then crossed his hands, turned his palms out, and then slowly shook his neck around, making a gurgling sound.
As soon as he finished this set of preparatory exercises, he successfully attracted the attention of the surrounding audience to him.
I saw him suddenly flip back on the spot, and one took off 360 degrees, causing a burst of exclamations around him. Before the call was settled, he did another somersault, but this time, not backwards, but forwards, without pause at all.
"Wow!"
"That's amazing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's legs were split, and a one-word horse was crossed in front of everyone.
"Wow! It's open! In the crowd, a fat-headed and big-eared man exclaimed. He couldn't help but touch his crotch, and the expression on his face also twitched twice. Looking at his appearance, he has substituted the action just now into himself.
If he were to use his physique, he would really pull his crotch apart.
The young man lying on the ground smiled disdainfully in his heart, and then, as if elastic, the two legs were retracted from the ground and retracted from the ground.
The fat-headed and big-eared man in front of him was so surprised that his mouth opened into an O-shape, and after seeing the young man clearly and standing up straight, he was the first to clap his hands and shout: "Good! That's great! ”
"Wow, that's amazing." The crowd burst into applause.
The black-faced strong man just now, seeing the crowd erupting in surprise and applause, hurriedly flattened the gong saucer, came to the crowd, laughed with him, and begged for reward: "Thank you for your support, thank you for your support." ”
The crowd immediately dissatisfied: "This is the beginning of the reward?" Iron throat skill, invulnerability, we haven't seen it yet. ”
"yes, yes." The crowd chimed in.
The strong man had an embarrassed look on his face, and he stretched out the gong saucer, and he didn't know whether to accept it or not.
"Good!" There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and when the thud fell into the gong. The one who rewarded was the fat-headed and big-eared person just now.
"Thank you, thank you." Someone rewarded, and the strong man got the steps, and hurriedly put a few coins of silver in the gong and saucer into his arms, put away the gong and saucer, and stood behind.
The young man who had just somersaulted and split a fork smiled unruly, and then clenched his fists, and the show began immediately.
"Imperial ......" Fang Qixiong just shouted a word in a low voice.
"Huh?" Xiao Qianyu let out a nasal sound with an upward tail in displeasure.
Fang Qixiong, the Duke of Fang Guo, immediately changed his words and said, "Childe, this street show is nothing to look at." There are too many idle people here, Weichen...... Ahem, the old man is worried that there will be gangsters with bad intentions who will take advantage of the chaos to ...... the emperor Ahem, it's not good for you, Childe. ”
Xiao Qianyu replied without looking back: "You are responsible for the security of this Lantern Festival, if I am not safe to stay here, then where is it safe?" ”
"This ......" If you say that it's not safe here, you don't slap yourself in the face.
Fang Qixiong's face was red, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stand in the crowd and accompany Xiao Qianyu to watch the excitement.
