The lantern festival in Qinguo is not different from the Thousand Lantern Festival in Qi country, and the day that Qinguo people really use to pray for blessings is tomorrow's flower prayer festival, so on the day of the lantern festival, people just gather here to enjoy the lanterns.

These lamps are not for sale, and when the time is over, the innocent Oiran lady who has been selected in advance will light the lanterns of the prayer table, and these lanterns for viewing will be placed in the lanterns of the prayer table to serve as fuel.

The lantern is lit until the sun rises the next day, so every day, every household will make a lot of lanterns to ensure that the lantern will not go out.

"Miss Ni Dress, do you have a favorite lantern?" In the flow of light and shadow, I looked at the beautiful woman in red beside me.

Nishang has been in good spirits since she saw Zhang Zhiyou, and she has been in a trance, and when she heard me suddenly ask, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"I remember that Xiaohu once gave you a lantern from the other side?" I asked with a smile.

Nishang was stunned and nodded.

"The girl likes the flowers of the other side?" Neon shook her head.

"That girl is someone who only likes to give lanterns?" My voice suddenly became a little subtle.

Nishang froze, then stopped.

"Childe, you ......"

"Don't be nervous, although Xiaohu is my scholar, he has grown up with me since he was a child, we are like brothers and sisters, life and death intersect, and his happiness is also what I have been looking forward to." I smiled and told her, trying to calm her down.

Nishang knew that I was usually kind, and what I just said made her let down her guard.

"Me and him...... I like him, all these years, I am in a foreign country, there is no other person around me except Childe, only he has been caring about me...... He is young and promising, and he is willing to treat me so carefully, I ......"

After a pause, Nishang lowered her head, "I know, with my identity, I must not be worthy of him." ”

"The girl knows about his origins?" I was surprised.

Nishang nodded slightly, "He told me." ”

Now I feel even more incredible, you know, although Sun Hu usually seems to be weak and weak, but no matter on any issue, his alertness, his suspicion, and his firmness are not comparable to ordinary people.

Now, he even told Ni Shang about his life experience that he had never mentioned......

It turns out that the relationship between them has reached this point?

"Since the girl even knows this, she should naturally understand his position and the reason why he must not leave everything behind." I looked at her with more scrutiny in my eyes than before.

A mist gradually appeared in Ni Shang's charming eyes, and she lowered her eyes, turned her face away, and did not make a sound.

I let out a long sigh.

"Xiao Hu is my person, I will naturally have selfishness, I hope you can let go of everything in the past, just be with him as an ordinary girl, I can solve all your worries for you, but if you can't let go of the righteousness of your family and country in your heart, today, you can go with Lord Zhang."

Ni Shang's body trembled, she covered her face, shook her head and stepped back, until she hit the vendor's stall behind her, and then she stopped in a trance.

"You... Do you know ...... Master Zhang?"

"You used to be the dancing girl in his house, it was he who ransomed you from the Qinglou, originally because of your beauty, he was favored by his uncle, and wanted to receive the house as a concubine, but Zhang Zhiyou has always been as wise as a torch, knowing that your value is more than that, so he categorically rejected his uncle, sent you to the palace, and became the confidant of His Majesty Emperor Qi."

I slowly explained the matter, in a casual tone, as if I didn't care at all about what happened back then.

"Since Childe knows everything," Nishang laughed self-deprecatingly, and a cold tear slipped down her pale face in an instant, "Why do you still come to ask me about my choice, do I have a choice?" ”

Speaking of sadness, Nishang only felt that the sourness in her heart seemed to overflow from her chest, but tears rolled in her eyes, she just wanted to laugh and laugh.

"Since I was born, I have been forced to accept the arrangement of fate, I have been doing what I don't like to do all the time, and now I can't even dance, who of you really cares about my choice?"

Only him, carefully treating her sadness, her happiness, what she gets can't get, in this world, he is the only one who really cares about her, but she doesn't even have the qualifications to stay by his side.

"Nishang, sometimes the opportunity is to make a decision, the pain is only temporary, you have to think clearly, I won't force you." I shook my head, brushed my sleeves and went into a nearby teahouse, and after a few words of explanation to the shopkeeper, I walked back again.

"I've already told the shopkeeper of the teahouse, you can rest in it for a while, and when you think clearly, you can come back to me." I saw that she could barely stand, and I couldn't bear it, so I stepped forward to help her, and then I turned around and left, chasing Du Rong and Zhang Zhiyou in front.

Nishang stumbled into the teahouse, and the whole person was stunned.

In fact, she should have expected that there would be such a day, it would be impossible for Qi and Qin to be in harmony all the time, and the seemingly invisible estrangement between her and him would only become more prominent because of the tension between the two countries. OK

His future should be bright, not because she carries an indelible shadow.

But teach her how to give?

"Yo, big brother, you're right, you can really meet such a beautiful beauty today!" Suddenly five or six gangster-looking people came to the door of the teahouse, and one of them was looking at the dejected Ni Shang in the corner with bad intentions.

"Don't do anything here, there are a lot of people here, first coax her into the small alley you walked through earlier." The eldest brother who took the lead was quite cautious, and hurriedly grabbed the younger brother who was about to go in and grab people recklessly.

"Yes, yes, I'll go and meet her, big brother, just sit here and wait for the good news." The little brother rubbed his hands and walked in excitedly.

"Girl, why are you sad here alone? Is it because of being separated from your family? The little brother walked to Ni Sheng with a plate of osmanthus pastry in his hand.

Ni Shang was stunned when she was thinking about Fang Cai's matter, and suddenly heard someone talking, and subconsciously leaned to the side.

"Who are you?" Nishang looked up.

The younger brother smiled flatteringly, "Girl, do you eat osmanthus cake?" This teahouse not only has delicious tea, but this osmanthus cake is also a must. ”

"Go away!" Ni Shang also came out of the Fengyue place, and almost at a glance, she could see the intention of the person who came.

What a spicy girl, it's really a gem!

The gangster brother was about to drool, he put down the plate, and couldn't wait to pull Ni Shang's hand, but was slapped by Ni Shang's backhand.

Because of disgust and anger, Ni Shang's slap used a lot of force, and the green silk that was originally scattered to cover his cheeks also floated away along the force, and with it, the scars inside were revealed.

The scar is already very light, but in the end, it is too big and deep on the face, even if you don't look at it seriously, you can't ignore it.

"Damn, it's a disfigured one!" The little brother spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and scolded angrily, "You have a face and no skin, you look like this, and you dare to beat me?" See if I don't kill you! ”

Scolding and scolding, the little thug started to move, Nishang was naturally not a vegetarian, and dodged his attack sideways, and kicked his ass with his backfoot.

The thugs fell to the ground with an "oops" and ate a mouth full of ashes.

"Daring, you ...... You ugly woman, you dare to hit me? Boss, boss, someone toasts and doesn't eat and drink, and they want to smash your field! Seeing that he couldn't beat him, the thugs got up and ran to the door.

Nishang was in a very chaotic mood, and when she met someone looking for death, she didn't bother to be polite, so she caught up with the gangster in three or two steps, and directly slashed him on the neck with her bare hands, knocking him unconscious.

"You dare to hurt my people?" As soon as the thug was knocked unconscious, his eldest brother appeared.

Tiger head bear back, burly and rough, he has a lot of scars on his naked back and chest, which can be seen as old wounds, maybe he was still a soldier before.

The guests in the teahouse were already frightened and ran out one after another, and the tea boss was even more frightened and hid under the counter, trembling with his own account book.

"It was he who was so bold that he teased me in public that I did it." Ni Shang is sad and sad, and the basic reason is that the person in front of her has fierce eyes and a different momentum from ordinary gangsters, so it is better for her to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

"He's so daring? Do you have 'color'? Look at that face of yours, it's ridiculous! ”

Ni Shang was stabbed in the heart, and quickly blocked the scar with her hair.

"What are you going to do?" Nishang lowered her eyes and asked him directly.

This gangster brother is a well-known bully in this area, usually rude and makes waves, but now he seizes the opportunity and naturally refuses to let go of Ni Shang.

"How? If you hit my brother, shouldn't you pay him a doctor? Thirty taels of gold, not a single cent is missing. ”

Nishang was taken aback and said angrily, "Which doctor wants such an expensive diagnosis?" You're blackmailing! ”

The big brother was not polite, and waved his hand to let his subordinates surround him.

"If you can't pay the money today, we'll sell you to the kiln, you can't buy a few dollars like this, but you ...... this size."

The squinting eyes swept down Ni Shang's body, and Ni Shang only felt a wave of nausea in her stomach, and she almost wanted to vomit.

Taking a deep breath, Nishang shook his hands, one step ahead, and moved his hands.

Seeing this, the group of thugs pounced on them.

Although Nishang knows some martial arts, he is not a master, and it would be fine if he only dealt with one or two, but now he has faced so many gangsters in a row, and he gradually eats it.

Seeing that Ni Shang couldn't take it down for a long time, the big brother of the gangster picked up the big knife in his hand and rushed forward, and for a while, Ni Shang was almost at an absolute disadvantage.
