Chapter 37: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance (3)
The flames lit by the lanterns burned in clusters on the street, and under the corpse of the old horse, the blood had already flowed into a shallow pool, and the blood on the ground, the corpses, and all kinds of miscellaneous debris scattered together, when the woman in black ran towards an adjacent street, several officials with knives did not dare to stop him at all.
Ning Yi stepped and wanted to follow secretly, only to find that Xiao Chan was hugging him tightly, in fact, the difference between the two was only the height of a head, but Xiao Chan was curled up and hiding beside him at this time, which made him look a little short. When Ning Yi looked over, Xiaochan was also looking up with a wrinkled face, she hugged Ning Yi and screamed for a long time, she couldn't pull it, and she was about to cry. When they met Ning Yi's eyes, their eyes and mouth suddenly rounded, and they were stunned for a second, with a cute expression, and then lowered their heads abruptly.
Ning Yi pursed his lips, and then patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”
"Oh." Xiaochan hurriedly let go of her hand, Ning Yi walked towards the fork in the road, Xiaochan followed a few steps, came to her senses, and shook her head: "No, where are you going, uncle?" ”
"Watch the ...... lively"
"No way!"
Xiaochan jumped up suddenly and grabbed the corner of Ning Yi's clothes: "Don't, uncle, that female thief is so powerful, uncle, let's go eat, Miss is still waiting for us......"
"If it's okay, I'll watch ...... from afar"
"No, the female thief has already run away......"
"How can it be so easy...... Well, if she does run away, I won't be able to see it anyway......"
With a bang, Xiaochan hugged Ning Yi from behind, her two hands were tightly cuffed, the spiced beans in her hands sprinkled Ning Yi's body, and her head shook desperately behind Ning Yi's back: "No, uncle, don't go......"
Ning Yi stood there, speechless for a while and asked Cangtian, and then looked around: "Xiaochan, what kind of system do you have to hold me like this." ”
The situation was chaotic, everyone was watching the fight, Ning Yi protected her by his side, but not many people paid attention, at this time, listening to Ning Yi's words, Xiaochan reacted, her body stiffened, and she suddenly let go like an electric shock, but then she still grabbed the corner of his clothes, the little face was flushed, Ning Yi laughed, reached out and rubbed Xiaochan's head, and immediately messed up her hair, a headscarf with a bag of hair fell off, half of her hair was scattered into a ponytail, Xiaochan's mouth was flattened, Ning Yi walked forward: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, Let's just see what's going on. ”
"Uncle...... Don't go......"
At this time, there were blue-shirted warriors on the other side of the street, and the little girl pulled the corner of Ning Yi's clothes, and followed step by step, looking anxious and wanting to cry, and the headscarf around the head of the bag also fell off, reaching out to hold it, but it couldn't be tied up, and she looked cute.
The woman in black was covered in blood, and if she ran all the way, she would definitely cause panic. However, the slightly chaotic scene only lasted for the next street, and when Ning Yi and Xiaochan crossed another street, the panicked scene of pedestrians was gone, and it was obvious that the female thief had either entered the surrounding shops and mansions, or quickly found a way to disguise. However, when I passed by a tea stall, I heard someone talking about the fight on Suzaku Street.
“…… I heard that the female assassin assassinated Song Xian and Song Duwei of the Wulie Army in Feiyan Pavilion, although she didn't succeed, but she killed more than a dozen people before leaving, tsk, the blood flowed like a river...... I just had a fight on Suzaku Street, and now it's gone. Such a high-rise green forest strongman, how can they keep it......"
The Wulie Army garrisoned the Jiangning area, and the reputation was not good, so it was naturally unclear to ordinary people who Song Xian was, but there were a few good people in the official. But if you really want to say that you can't keep it at all, it's impossible. Among the people nearby, I occasionally saw those blue-shirted short figures, this should be the most elite group of people in the Wu Lie Army, the number could not be large, but they were still looking for the traces of the female assassin, Ning Yi occasionally observed the route they were looking for, and followed at will.
Xiaochan had already put her mind at ease at this time, and occasionally trotted a few steps beside Ning Yi, while playing with her scattered bag head, she was angry with a straight face: "Uncle can't find Uncle can't find Uncle can't find ......"
*****************
The assassination of Feiyan Pavilion and the fight on Suzaku Street were just small episodes that happened this night, and the waves only set off within a certain range, and they only spread among a certain level of people. Even if the Wu Lie Army has a future, it is not good to close the city or close the road to find people on a day like the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In this era when news is basically based on word of mouth, the vast majority of people are still continuing their activities and celebrations. ,
The old rain building, which is about a street away from Wuyi Lane, is one of the largest restaurants operated by the richest man in Jiangning, the Pu family, with five floors high and a vast area. Since the development of the Pu family to the scholarly side, part of the industry has also been integrated into the elegant and scholarly atmosphere, and this building is the best one to operate.
The whole restaurant has a square structure with a large central patio, so there is no lighting problem. In the meantime, the rockery pavilion stone, strange wood and flowers, although the arrangement is small but very exquisite. If needed, these things can also be moved out of the way to create a makeshift stage. There is also a walled house and green plants on the outside of the restaurant, which is pleasing to the eye when viewed from above. On the restaurant, there are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, precious screens, porcelain, lacquerware, etc.
The Pu family spent a lot of money on this building, and the fame of this building lived up to expectations, people who were rich, had a family background, and felt free and literate often took pride in coming here to invite a guest, and high-ranking officials such as the prefect would often choose to come here if they were feasting outside the house. But naturally, money is the last word, and literati with clean sleeves can only come when they are invited. This building is already the best combination of money and elegance.
Today, the Pu family hosted a banquet here for many talented people. After all, the weather has not yet warmed up at this time, the wind on the river is strong, and the six boats are not easy to get together, and this party is actually similar to another Puyuan poetry club. Led by Pu Yangyi of the Pu family, many people were invited to come over according to the specifications of the Pu Yuan Poetry Club, but this time there was no one to bring their families, and Qilan, who was ranked in Qinhuai Siyan, was accompanied. In the past two or three years, the famous prostitute Qilan can also be regarded as the signature of the Pu family.
The atmosphere of the banquet is more casual than the Pu Yuan poetry meeting in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone is still quite poetic, in addition to several talents who have a relationship with the Pu family and Xue Jin and the like, there is also a famous person who comes over today, this person is often as famous as the rigorous and steady Cao Guan in the younger generation of Jiangning, but the personality is free and easy, and the poems are often imaginative, and he is known as the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, he is the talent Li Pin who participated in the Lichuan Poetry Club during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Pin's fame is greater than the few people that the Pu family can invite, but of course, they are all young people, and the gap is difficult to measure. This time he will come here for a banquet, everyone is actually very strange, but in fact, he can be invited mainly not due to the financial resources of the Pu family, but because this guy listened to a few stories of Ning Yi in Yushan Academy a few years ago, Su Chonghua and he got to know each other, but no one would have thought that Su Chonghua's face would be so big, a banquet on weekdays is nothing, but on a day like the Shangyuan Festival, Li Pin can be invited, and the Pu family suddenly felt that there was light on their faces.
The rest of the talented people originally thought that Li Pin might steal the limelight from him, but fortunately, Li Pin was low-key, and he just wrote poems today, although he was also a good poem, but it would not cover everyone's light. Qilan has a professional communication skills, and naturally she will not be close to Li Pin alone, compared to his others, she is a little alienated from this talent, and she is good at dancing with long sleeves, and she can also control the situation well, and the scene is warm and harmonious.
The poems revealed in the Lichuan Poetry Club and some other gatherings will still continue to gather for everyone to evaluate, and the poetry of everyone here is also strong, although the poems are not as good as Lichuan, but Li Pin occasionally ridicules those Lichuan talents a few words, and others feel that the talents over there are nothing. The banquet was staggered, occasionally drinking orders, tasting poems, Qilan girl played the piano and sang and danced, and when the time was almost three o'clock, Pu Yangyi went over to talk to Li Pin, and at the same time talked and laughed with Su Chonghua and Xue Jin who came over.
After a while, he talked about the water tune song in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and then asked about Ning Yi. Pu Yangyi said casually, but in fact, he had long wanted to invite Ning Yi to come over to this poetry meeting to add more color, Su Chonghua smiled and talked about some things about Ning Yi in the Su family, and talked about Song Mao's school examination and praise a few years ago, in fact, for Ning Yi, he used to have an indifferent attitude, but now he is vigilant in his heart, the most important thing is that he is afraid that the other party will rob him of the name of the head of Yushan Academy, after all, he has been running a college that has not improved for so many years, Ning Yi taught a batch of good students as soon as he came, which is no different from a slap in the face for him, Seeing Mrs. Su's respect for Ning Yi, she was naturally worried. But on the surface, he has an attitude of talking about juniors and being honored. ,
"It's fake, I don't believe it." The Xue family and the Su family have always been on low terms, and Xue Jin no longer hides too much at this time, "I heard a few years ago that the water tune song head was chanted by a priest, ...... He's stealing for his own use......"
"Ha Luha, Brother Xue, you take this matter again." Xue Jin's voice fell, and another voice came from the side, but this was the Wu family. Jiangning cloth three families, the Xue family and the Su family have always been unhappy, but as the head of the line, the Wu family has a good relationship with these two families, the person who came is the second young master of the Wu family, Wu Qihao, and Su Tan'er and Xue Jin all know each other, when Su Tan'er visited the Wu family during the New Year, Ning Yi also had a relationship with him, and smiled at this time: "The Taoist priest's statement, but not many people will believe it." ”
Pu Yangyi next to him said with a smile: "I don't believe it either, but I have really admired this Liheng brother for a long time, Su Shanchang, you can introduce me next time." ”
Then the topic was moved away from the name Ning Yi, and everyone laughed for a while, Qilan performed a song and dance, Wu Qihao looked out of the window for a while, but turned back with a smile: "Brother Puyang, it's a coincidence, the person you and I just talked about seems to be sitting downstairs at this time, Su Shanchang, Brother Li, Brother Xue, I only had a one-sided friendship with Liheng last time, and I can't be sure, let's take a look ......"
In fact, his words could be heard in half of the surrounding halls, and suddenly someone gathered with interest: "Brother Wu is so interested, who is he talking about?" ”
"Liheng? This person is a ......"
This discussion spread throughout the party hall on the second floor, and by the window on the inside, Wu Qihao and a few people stood there and looked at it for a few times, and stretched out his finger: "Look, it seems to be that person, the girl next to him, isn't it the maid Xiaochan next to Tan'er's sister?" ”
Near the rockery in the courtyard downstairs, Ning Yi and Xiaochan were wandering out a little bored, looking around in a field of lanterns......
