Chapter 54: The Parade

Ye Lingyi slept directly into the night. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net

When he rubbed his still drowsy head and went downstairs to the noisy house, the men led by Chen Thirty were gathering to drink, and everyone smiled when they saw the female man waking up and beckoned her to drink some more.

The corners of Ye Lingyi's mouth twitched suddenly, and she raised a smile and politely refused, you must know that she has not slowed down her strength to drink now, where does she dare to drink again?

She decided not to die again!

Walking out the door to breathe in the fresh air, the last little discomfort in my body seemed to disappear.

Facing the refreshing night breeze, she couldn't help stretching her waist, perhaps because she hadn't exercised for too long, she felt that the joints of her whole body were a little rusty and blunt, so she decided to move her muscles and bones, but she was new to the town, and she didn't dare to go too far because she didn't dare to go too far, and only walked around the official post.

Originally, I didn't think about it that much, but things are often so coincidental.

The official post made of bluestone bricks is an ordinary four-corner cornice-shaped building, it looks like it has been some years, after the baptism of time has been covered with traces of time, the wall is covered with a faint green moss, and it looks like the whole building is covered with a faint sense of weirdness in this night.

However, Ye Lingyi didn't pay so much attention, she was originally taking a serious walk, but when she walked around the official post to the second circle, she saw a sneaky figure from a distance grabbing a rope and slowly descending along the moss-covered building wall, and finally landed with great effort.

Seeing that the figure was a man, his movements were not flexible, and his face was covered like a thief who had come to steal things, but before he could be happy, a sharp knife was directly against his neck from behind.

The man's back stiffened and he didn't move.

Ye Lingyi's eyebrows condensed the cold blade, and he said sharply: "You dare to enter and exit this place at will, are you a thief?" Assassin? ”

As soon as the man heard the familiar voice coming from behind him, his frozen back suddenly relaxed, and he calmly shouted: "Green kite? ”

Ye Lingyi was stunned for a moment, and the man took the opportunity to push the knife around his neck away, turned around and looked at Ye Lingyi, and smiled lightly.

Ye Lingyi was startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of her: "Your Majesty? How are you? ”

"What? Didn't expect that, right? Li Yuanlin's smile deepened, and his soft beauty was reflected in the lights, like seeing flowers in the fog, which was extremely hazy and beautiful.

"It's dark and windy this night, how did you climb down the stairs?"

The shock in Ye Lingyi's expression had not yet eased.

was about to explain, suddenly Li Yuanlin noticed something, frowned, and hurriedly pushed her to the wall and stood close to the root of the wall, covering her mouth with one hand, and "shhh

At this time, there was a heavy footstep sounding in his ears, Ye Lingyi looked sideways, only to find that it was the guard in charge of the security of the official post who passed through the alley.

It wasn't until the patrol walked over that Li Yuanlin let go of her, grabbed her wrist and said, "Come with me!" ”

The two of them avoided all the guards like thieves, and easily stayed away from the official post. Ye Lingyi said, "Your Majesty, you haven't answered my question yet!" Why did you sneak out? ”

In fact, Ye Lingyi had already made a guess in his heart: Could this guy be a sudden brain teaser after being used to a life of fine clothes and food, and want to experience the life of mortals returning to their roots?

What a wayward rich man!

Ye Lingyi felt that things should be as she guessed.

Secretly praised his reasoning talent, and felt that God was really unfair, the same people, some people were born rich, some people were born as kings, some people directly attacked the lord, but she was unlucky to be a hard-working minion, and the rich people experienced life is a catastrophe, but she deserves to live a hard life!

Li Yuanlin didn't answer her question, but blinked mysteriously, took her hand and got into the lively crowd.

After a while, two figures appeared on the drum tower in Mobao Town.

"This is the highest place in Mobao Town, and you can see the entire Mobao Town from here."

Li Yuanlin stood still by the railing, and the night wind howled up from the railing, blowing the hem of his clothes and making a slight sound of hunting.

Ye Lingyi stood beside him, looking at his back as straight as a firm pine and cypress, his distant gaze lingering in the night light flickering slightly, the bright lights rendered his face like the best rice paper, and there was a little lingering amazement between his eyebrows.

Ye Lingyi couldn't help but ask, "What is the emperor thinking?" ”

is usually limited by her identity, this is the very rare time she stands side by side with him.

The man's black hair was swept by the wind, and a hint of the scent of agarwood took the opportunity to get into her nose.

Li Yuanlin, like all rich and noble people, has a stinky and exquisite problem, all the clothes on the upper body are not fragrant before they are willing to wear, and agarwood is his most commonly used spice, the smell is not as strong as the kind of incense used by women, but the smell is elegant like a fog, there is a feeling of reassurance.

She thought, this is also the reason why Li Yuanlin loves agarwood.

"Alas......"

There was a sudden sigh in the wind, and Li Yuanlin's tone was a little sad: "Every time I stand on such a high place, I feel that I am too derelict as an emperor, I am sorry for myself, and I am even more sorry for the people of the Western Dynasty, I just want to come and see how incompetent I am!" ”

In Li Yuanlin's heart, although there is a regret that his ambition cannot be paid in time, it is more of the pressure he exerts on himself, like countless heavy shackles locking the real him in the dark abyss.

The highest point of the drum tower can indeed overlook the entire glorious Mobao Town, but standing at the highest point of such a life, if the cold wind blows more, you will find that there is nothing good about such a place, because there is a saying that "the high place is not cold".

This is the experience summed up by the wisdom of the ancients for thousands of years, and it is also the word that appeared in Ye Lingyi's mind at this moment.

Looking at the man in front of her who was full of guilt, she felt that he was actually very pitiful and pathetic.

Maybe there is a kind of person who, even if he doesn't become a puppet of others, will eventually become his own puppet!

Given that he really couldn't think of any good words to comfort him, and he didn't want to say something that didn't concern him, Ye Lingyi had an idea, took Li Yuanlin's hand and was about to leave.

"Where?"

The strength of the girl's hand was suddenly blocked.

Li Yuanlin looked down at her in wonder, and asked again: "Where are you going?" ”

Ye Lingyi didn't speak, only smiled, his eyes flickered, and his arm continued to pull his footsteps down the drum tower, so there was the next scene.

A man and a woman holding hands suddenly appeared in the lively bazaar, to be precise, the woman dragged the man.

The young man's appearance is particularly outstanding, walking in the crowd as if standing out from the crowd, immediately attracting a large number of stunning eyes, and people who love to chat have whispered to each other, including shocking exclamations, and sour words of envy and hatred of men......

Li Yuanlin had never encountered such an embarrassing situation, and soon his face turned red with shame, and he hung his head to the limit, as if he wanted to bury his head directly in the soil.

On the other hand, Ye Lingyi, she enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon very much, accepting everyone's gaze, but instead of being a little timid, she straightened her head and back.

The bazaar in Mobao Town was not large, and the two of them soon came to an end, standing by the red wall of a rich and noble house.

The red wall is not very high, and the wall is leaning against a locust tree with a flourishing crown, the trunk of the tree is crooked, and most of the branches and leaves are hanging out.

At this time in April, it is the flowering period of locust flowers, full of tender and verdant leaves, the branches are decorated with strings of white locust flowers, and the cool air is full of a faint and elegant fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Looking up at the swaying flower strings of the trees and taking a deep breath of the breeze, he only felt that it was fragrant and sweet, Li Yuanlin's mood seemed to be a little lighter, but when he lowered his head, he suddenly found that Ye Lingyi, who was by his side, was gone.

After a little search, I suddenly found that the petite figure was squatting in front of an old woman selling acacia cakes not far away, staring at the golden locust cakes that were rolling wantonly in the oil pot under the old woman's skillful skills, and her saliva was about to fly down three thousand feet.

Li Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, and then a thick warmth flowed from the depths of his eyes: This little glutton!

"Girl, buy a locust cake, right? Freshly out of the pot, delicious and not expensive. The old woman seized the opportunity to sell to Ye Lingyi.

Ye Lingyi nodded like pounding garlic, and immediately touched her body, her eyes gradually changed from expectation to regret: "It's still ...... Forget it. ”

She thought that she would not be too far away from the official post, so she didn't bring money out.

"Take one!" Li Yuanlin didn't know when he walked behind her, and a gentle voice came down from the top of his head.

Ye Lingyi raised her head, just in time to see Li Yuanlin smiling at her, her thin white fingers touched the position where the money bag was originally hanging on her waist, but her smile froze a little bit.

He quietly went out without wanting to alarm the guards, but the money bag fell under the wall when he climbed the wall and went downstairs.

All right!

The atmosphere gradually became awkward, and Li Yuanlin's action of taking out the money was so frozen.

Ye Lingyi knew that he didn't have any money, so in order to alleviate Li Yuanlin's embarrassment, he got up and smiled at the old woman and said, "Forget it, old woman, I don't really want to eat." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Li Yuanlin's hand and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait."

Li Yuanlin opened his mouth unwillingly, suddenly took off a piece of jade with excellent texture from his waist and stuffed it into the old woman's hand, and said stubbornly: "Please give me a piece of acacia cake!" ”

The old woman who sold the locust flower cake was unexpected, looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and then looked at the fried locust flower cake, and decisively returned the jade pendant to Li Yuanlin after a little measurement: "Brother Gongzi must be the young master of a rich and noble family, right?" My old woman who sells acacia cakes really can't stand this jade pendant, please take it back! ”

"But ......"

Li Yuanlin's eyes were fixed on the acacia cake, still a little unrelenting.

Unexpectedly, the old woman smiled, and began to wrap the acacia cake and stuff it into Ye Lingyi's hand: "This is even if my wife invites you to eat!" ”

"How's that going to work? No merit! ”

Ye Lingyi wanted to return the cake to the old woman, but the mother-in-law was unhappy: "Doesn't the girl dislike the old woman?" ”

"No!" Ye Lingyi hurriedly said. She just thinks that this is the craft that people rely on for survival, and it is unsettling to accept it like this.

But the old woman said, "Girls don't have to be formal! It turns out that the things made from local materials are not worth much, and besides, it is late at night, and the old woman is going to close the stall, so the girl can't let the old woman's hard work be wasted, right? ”

Saying this, Ye Lingyi had no choice but to accept it.

For example, Meng Tianen expressed his gratitude to the old woman for a good meal, and finally left.

The two of them found a place to sit down under the locust tree, admired the prosperity of the trees above their heads, and then remembered what happened tonight, looked at each other and smiled, full of faint helplessness.

After a long time, Li Yuanlin looked at her and asked softly, "Why did you bring me here today?" ”

His self-proclaimed name changed from "I" to "I".

Ye Lingyi felt the novelty at first, and then smiled heartily, and said very reasonably: "I just want the emperor to see that I am proud and proud because of the emperor, there is nothing bad about this, the emperor is the emperor, even if the development of many things is unsatisfactory, but as long as you have the world in your heart, you are a Ming Jun, on the contrary, if the emperor is easy to belittle himself, not only is he irresponsible for himself, but also easily obliterates the people who have expectations for the emperor, and puts the people of the world in an unrighteous place!" ”
