At this time, the light and shadow outside the window have gradually dimmed, but the valley has not fallen into darkness, but a clear happy lamp has risen, swaying with the night breeze. Chen Fusheng's expression moved slightly, and when he looked over, he saw a crowd of people under the attic, but they disappeared after an instant.

Gu Xing also jumped up from the bed at this time, came to the window, leaned on the windowsill, looked like he had never seen the world, stared at those happy lamps with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Look at it, Gu Zhong is full of lanterns that I have never seen before, and it is very beautiful." ”

Chen Fusheng naturally didn't know whether Gu Xing was pretending to be stupid or really interested in the strange scene, and said with a wry smile: "Ah Xing doesn't know, this is used to pay tribute to the souls of the dead?" ”

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, turned his head and smiled awkwardly, "I really don't know, I just feel that I am happy, and there is such a use?" ”

At this time, the attic slowly moved forward with the beat of the drum, and it had come to the middle of the two peaks. Chen Fusheng pointed to a happy lamp closest to them and said solemnly: "I remember reading in the "Geographical Chronicles" that more than 100 miles east of Luoyang, the folk customs are different, and on the eve of the wedding, everyone holds the lantern and travels at night until dawn. It is to tell the wipe of relatives, the family will be a new person, do not show up, in order to tell the whole thing. ”

Gu Xingting was ignorant, looked carefully at the happy lanterns floating in the air, and suddenly wondered: "Fusheng, look." There is writing on this lamp......"

Chen Fusheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Ah wake up and rest down, this is just a convention after the evolution of customs, and ink on the lamp can better convey lovesickness." ”

Gu Xing didn't listen to Chen Fusheng's words, but instead reached out and grabbed a happy lamp, and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. Chen Fusheng's face was full of helplessness, but he looked solemnly at the happy lamp, as if there were still people lurking in the dark.

Gu Xing looked at it for a moment, and then read it aloud, "The moon is the hometown of Ming, and the dew is white from tonight." If the old man is lovesick, he will come to his dream. After reading it, he put the happy lamp back, and then said to himself, "Is there anything unusual?" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly came to Chen Fusheng's side, and whispered urgently: "Fusheng, there are people pulling under this happy lamp, just a word of temptation, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next." ”

Chen Fusheng only realized at this time that what Gu Xing did just now was originally for temptation, and his heart was a little at ease, but he didn't understand. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed under the attic, motioning for him to wait and see.

At this time, on the chaise longue not far from the attic, the Venerable Master Xuanji was half-staring at the happy lamps floating in the valley with his eyes half-closed, and his expression was cloudy. The three waves of temptation just now are just a drop in the bucket, and tonight is destined to be not very peaceful. It's just that he doesn't know, why did the old man of Jackdaw leak these "snakes, insects, rats and ants" in, maybe in order to catch them all?

…………

At this time, the old man of the jackdaw was pushing the cup and changing the lamp with a group of guests who came to the valley to congratulate, and the old yellow head was also rarely reserved, saying some seemingly kind but nonsensical words, chatting about the old things that had been stale and the sesame seeds had rotted the grain. The breeze was slow, a burst of fireworks wafted in, and everyone turned around to look outside the main hall, which was already full of happy lights.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all amazed, and even the old yellow head was full of emotion, sighing that he had not seen this brightly lit scene for many years.

Someone with good deeds hurriedly asked, "I don't know about the move of the Crow Valley, but it is to welcome us and celebrate tomorrow's wedding?" ”

The old man's face was indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "No, I think you don't know much about the customs here. The purpose of 'Joy on the Moon' is to tell the deceased loved ones that something big will happen in the valley tomorrow. In the same way, warn outsiders not to act rashly. ”

The old man turned to look at everyone, his face remained unchanged, but there was a little more chill in his eyes, as if he intended to remind the people present not to do that outrageous thing.

One man in the crowd came out with a glass of wine, and the laughter was deafening. The people around him stepped back sideways, making way for him. The person who came was a lion with a wide mouth and a wide nose, a powerful force, dressed in a refining suit, with a nine-hole knife hanging from his waist, and stood still in front of the old man of the jackdaw, "Quenching the Crow Valley is so big, it really opened the old man's eyes!" ”

The old man of the jackdaw is neither humble nor arrogant, "General Li came from afar, and he missed the welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Such a small fight in Quenching Crow Valley is really not on the stage, which makes the general laugh. ”

Whispers began to be whispered among the guests, and someone seemed to recognize the identity of this person, and lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Isn't this the Fifth Taibao Li Cunjin?" The siege of Jincheng was earth-shattering before, and even Luoyang personally sent people to mediate, why did he come here so quickly? ”

"You don't know this, the purpose of his coming here is to take the Quenching Crow Valley into his pocket. The terrain here is dangerous, and it is a battleground for soldiers, so how can it be easily given to others? ”

"In this way, tonight will be bloody. Have you seen it, Nalan himself, the owner of Mingyue Building, is watching everything here not far away. By the way, the girl beside him who has never shown her true face is probably not simple. ”

"I wonder if you've heard? A few months ago, Wuliang City led a surprise attack on Luoyang, making such a big noise, but in the end, it was over. I heard that it was Nalan's handiwork, and by the way, he wiped out the chaotic parties in the city. ”

"Brother Tai is still careful with his words, it's just a battle of morale between the Li family brothers, and if you put on the 'hat' of the disruptive party, I'm afraid it will get into trouble......"

These gossips naturally came into the ears of the people present, but the old man Jackdaw and Li Cunjin turned a deaf ear, and their eyes met, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, with sincere expressions, as if they were full of words, and they did not vomit or be unhappy.

Li Cunjin took another step forward, the wine cup in his hand did not move, but his face smiled deeper and deeper, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't the old man jackdaw worried?" ”

This question was clueless, and everyone present looked at each other. But the old yellow head heard the sound of the strings here, and had some not very good conjectures in his heart. The old man Jackdaw handed over the wine cup in his hand, lightly touched it on Li Cunjin's wine cup, and said with a smile: "It's okay, since the general is here, no matter how many 'fleas' there are, they can't disturb the slightest." ”

Li Cunjin was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and laughed, "In this way, it is very suitable for me." Although the old man of Jackdaw can rest assured, I, Li Cunjin, have led my troops here, and I will never allow Xiaoxiao to do anything wrong in the valley. ”

Everyone present was stunned, although this was an ordinary sentence, but this "leading the troops here" has made the future intention clear, if there is any transgression, the halberds of this group of male soldiers, I don't know who will turn to.

The old man of Jackdaw naturally knew the importance of this place, smiled and nodded, and was silent.

The old yellow man slowly walked to the old man and looked at General Li, who had only dealt with him not long ago. Li Cunjin's face was stunned, obviously a little incredulous. Unexpectedly, this ticket person really came to the Crow Valley. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. If you can win it in one fell swoop, it will be impossible to kill two birds with one stone.

But before he could start this calculation, there was a commotion in the crowd again, and a man dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face that was more than Chen Fusheng, walked forward quickly.

This person was holding a long sword, his clothes were not stained, his long hair was scattered at random on the back of his head, and his face was with a faint smile, "Nalan, the lord of the Lower Bright Moon Building, is hereby ordered by the lord of the country to congratulate the old man of the Jackdaw in the Valley of Quenching Crow. ”

Nalan has a soft tone, and the speed of speech is neither fast nor slow, which makes people listen to it pleasantly and refreshingly. But if you have a certain amount of internal strength, you will know that Nalan has secretly met the realm of heaven and man in his words, and only by integrating internal strength into his words can he bewitch people's hearts.

Li Cunjin was quite unhappy with Nalan's visit, but he had to take a step back and give him a place so that he could be polite.

The old man of the jackdaw smiled calmly, she already had a good impression of handsome men, and Nalan had been famous in the rivers and lakes for many years, which made people fascinated for a long time. At this time, I was even more overjoyed, "It is an honor to be able to get the owner of Mingyue Mansion in person, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please bear more." ”

Nalan smiled, like a spring breeze, and eased the delicate atmosphere at this time, "The old man of the jackdaw is too modest, and he is entrusted by the lord of the country to discuss it with you tomorrow." But right now, everything in this valley is deliberately arranged by you? ”

The old man pretended not to know, and turned his head to look at the old yellow head with some confusion. The old yellow head coughed lightly, took a step forward, looked at the two people in front of him who had already dealt with him, and pretended to be the first time he saw him, "Otherwise, this may be Xiaoxiao who slipped in while he was busy in the valley." At this time, there is a shortage of manpower, I wonder if you have a good way? ”

Although this sentence is an inquiry, it is more of a temptation. Among the people present, there must be someone who has nothing to do with these offenders. What's more, it is the initiator, but everyone is wise to protect themselves, how can it be easily exposed. As soon as the old yellow head said this, everyone fell silent. No one wants to take the lead first, for fear of getting into trouble and attracting bad luck.

Li Cunjin saw that everyone was indifferent, so he clapped his hands and said loudly: "If you believe in the old man, how about the old man take action to solve this trouble?" ”

The old yellow head chuckled when he heard this, "Then I don't know how the general is going to solve this trouble?" ”

Li Cunjin ignored the old yellow man's provocation, although he was quite surprised that this person appeared here. But he didn't show too many expressions that people were captured, but he pretended not to know, and continued to be false and wronged, wanting to see what tricks this Huang Wanli played.

Li Cunjin smiled when he heard this, clapped his hands, and a woman walked out of the crowd. The old yellow head fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lan Qin who had defected from the "Taiping Inn". At this time, she was much more conservative than before, dressed plainly, but her appearance was unique in a million, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

Li Cunjin pointed at Lan Qin and said confidently: "With this person, you will be able to sit back and relax." ”

The old yellow head seemed to be deliberately provoking the incident, and hurriedly added, "Isn't it the domestic cat that catches mice?" ”

Lan Qin's face moved slightly, and Li Cunjin also ignored it. However, the old man of the jackdaw gently tugged at the sleeve of the old yellow head, and said softly: "Then let this girl give it a try, how about it?" ”
