Today is a special day, why is it a special day, because today is the festival in Xihe County, and people with fame and status in the city will go to the festival site, and Li Yan is no exception.

Early in the morning, the street is full of people, heading towards the festival venue, although it can't be like those dignitaries and dignitaries have a good position to watch, but it is also good to see from a distance, after all, this is an annual event, so many people get up early in the morning.

In the Tang Mansion, Li Yan is still sleeping a lot, and Harazi has wet the pillow for a long time, it seems that he must have dreamed of something delicious.

"Bump. Touch, "At this time, the knock sounded, and Li Yan, who was dreaming, gradually opened his eyes when he heard the knock, rubbed the goblin and said, "Come on, don't knock." ”

Li Yan got up and got dressed, opened the door and saw a fresh, beautiful, lovely and beautiful girl standing in front of the door, Li Yan looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes were a little stunned, he looked up and down and said, "What are you doing here?" I almost didn't recognize you yet, and it scared the hell out of me. ”

The person who came was Tang Shishi, today Tang Shishi was wearing a light green dress, and then painted a little light outfit, and wore a few hostas on her head, this look is very different from usual, usually Tang Shishi basically doesn't know how to wear makeup, except for a little light fat powder on her body, she basically dresses up lightly, not like now.

When Tang Shishi heard Li Yan's words, she didn't care, she just rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "You're still sleeping, what time is it, hurry up and wash up, wait for you to eat." ”

"Oh," Li Yan responded lightly, changed his voice, and asked with a smile: "Okay, but Sister Shishi, are you going on a blind date in this dress?" Or is it for which boy? ”

"Oh, it's not, because the festival has to be dressed up, otherwise Daddy will say it when he sees it, how about it? Isn't that nice. Hearing Li Yan's ridicule, Tang Shishi was not angry, but just smiled and said.

"It's pretty good, I just don't know such a big beauty, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future," Li Yan nodded.

Tang Shishi seemed to be in a good mood today, so she didn't say anything on these topics, and said urgingly: "Okay, hurry up, I'll wait for you in the garden, otherwise it will be cold later." ”

"Right now." After saying that, Li Yan left to wash, Tang Shishi looked at Li Yan's back and smiled slightly, and opened Li Yan's room.

After breakfast, the two of them left the Tang Mansion and walked on the street, watching those people all walk in one direction, and they also followed the crowd. When she went out, Tang Shishi said that she would go over by carriage, but Li Yan said that she walked over slowly, and the time was not in a hurry, so Tang Shishi had no choice but to agree.

The festival began in the middle of the day, and now it's only the end of the hour, but there aren't many people on the streets.

The place of the festival is a kilometer away from the river, the end of this river is to join the Yellow River, the river is only twenty or thirty meters wide, and the altar is by the river, not far from the altar is a high platform is a group of people with status, these people sitting on this platform, are not talking to the people around them. These people were surrounded by ordinary people, and there were many people on the other side of the river, adding up to nearly 10,000 people.

As mentioned earlier, this festival has been handed down very early, and there is a legend about this at that time, the legend says that there was a drought in the past, and the peasants did not harvest for several years, and the adults in the city decided to organize a sacrifice, sacrificing to the rain god, and the land god, and the sacrifice caused many people to suffer, and they were telling, I think it was because of everyone's sincerity and piety that the dragon king in the river was moved, and the dragon king was actually the rain god, and the dragon king flew out of the river and rained heavily, which solved the drought, and the farmers had a bumper harvest that year. After that, the wind and rain were smooth, and from then on, it would be sacrificed at this time every year. But no one knows how authentic it is, and the so-called breeze does not make waves, there should still be a little bit of authenticity.

Li Yan and Tang Shishi followed the crowd out of the city, just appeared, one or two carriages drove behind, came to Li Yan and stopped, Li Yan and the two saw the car parked in front of them, the people in the car lifted the curtain, and a beautiful woman came out.

The person who came was Liu Yiyi, Liu Yiyi got out of the car and said, "Miss Shishi, Li Yan Gongzi, long time no see." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Yiyi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know, okay?" Li Yan clasped his fists and saluted.

"Well, I don't know if Li Yangongzi and Miss Shishi are walking?" Liu Yiyi glanced at the two and asked.

"Well, it's not early now, so I'll walk slowly, so I can also exercise, I wonder if Miss Yiyi is interested in together?" Li Yan asked with a smile on his face.

Liu Yiyi heard Li Yan's thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's talk together." Liu Yiyi agreed and said to the coachman: "You go back first, I am with them now, so I don't have to follow." ”

The coachman said respectfully, "Yes, miss." With that, he walked back.

The coachman left, Li Yan and the three of them walked together, after Li Yan had just walked a few steps, he glanced at the two people in the crowd suspiciously, these two people walked in the crowd, but because they were a little taller than anything, because they couldn't see their faces, they were facing away from Li Yan, but the figure was a little familiar, and Li Yan couldn't remember knowing and seeing these two people, so he had to look away and didn't care.

Li Yan and the three of them came to the venue of the festival A gathering place for young people, here are all people of the younger generation like them, they are all older generations on the high platform, and they are all rich and prestigious in the city, and the juniors cannot be with them, so there is a special venue, but it is still a good location.

When Li Yan and the three of them arrived, some people who knew Tang Shishi and Liu Yiyi greeted each other, and they said hello, among them were the good friends of the three, Yang Liaoxin brother and sister and Luo Yun'er, the three of them helped Li Yan and a few people occupy a few good positions, this is the advantage of coming early,

Li Yan glanced around, shook his head and said, "There are so many people,"

"Hehe, Brother Li Yan, this is inevitable, because everyone wants to come and see, come to worship and worship, and hope that the income will be better in a few years, so many people will come." Yang Liaoxin heard Li Yan's exclamation, smiled and said.

"Oh, that's it, it's not going to start, look at the time." Li Yan glanced at the direction of the sun and said.

"Well, it seems to be. It's time now," Yang Liaoxin nodded.

As soon as Yang Liaoxin finished speaking, the county guard on the high platform, that is, Tang Liwen, stood up and said, "The time has also come, and the festival ceremony has begun." ”

Li Yan heard Tang Liwen's voice and glanced at the high platform, there were many people sitting on the high platform, all of them were people in their thirties and forty years old, and they were all prestigious in this county town, Li Yan glanced at Tang Liwen, his eyes moved to the right, and he saw a middle-aged man with dark skin and more than forty years old, who said a word or two to the person next to him from time to time. Li Yan glanced at the person and asked Yang Liaoxin next to him: "Brother Liao Xin, who is the dark-skinned person next to Uncle Tang?" ”

When Yang Liaoxin heard Li Yan's question, she followed Li Yan's gaze, glanced at it and said, "That person is Du Wei, that is, Gao Zhenyin's father, Gao Qiang." Next to him is Liu Yiyi's father, Liu Wenyi, and the one next to Liu Yiyi's father is Luo Haoran, Yun'er's father, both of which are prestigious scholarly families, and their reputation in the neighboring states and counties is particularly great. “

Yang Liaoxin told Li Yan about the people he knew one by one, Li Yan nodded on the side, he wrote it down, so that he had a new understanding of the people inside, ha, Li Yan hasn't known a few people for so long.

After Yang Liaoxin finished speaking, Li Yan glanced at the crowd and said in his heart, "Why didn't that guy Gao Zhenyin come?" Isn't this kind of occasion a favorite for people like him? Li Yan shook his head after seeing it at a glance, and focused on the ceremony, not thinking about anything else.

At the beginning of the festival, a person on the altar was dressed strangely, holding a cane in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, anyway, no one understood what it was, plus it was a little far away, and the voice was a little small, and the people in charge of such were all old and prestigious old people in the city. While the people were dancing and carrying out the ritual, there were maids slowly serving sacrifices, fruits, meat, delicacies and other sumptuous offerings, and live cattle and sheep sacrifices on the side.

When Li Yan was looking at this interesting festival, a person from behind patted Li Yan's shoulder, Li Yan turned his head to look at it, and was pulled out of the crowd, and after coming out to see the people, he said suspiciously: "Brother Chen Meng? What's the matter? ”

Chen Meng looked at Li Yan and smiled, and said seriously: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to tell you that those two people were released yesterday." ”

"Huh? How so? Who was the one who saved them? As soon as Li Yan heard this, he knew that there might be something greasy in this, and things were not so simple. As a result, Chen Meng's next sentence confirmed Li Yan's thoughts in his heart.

"I found that the accents of the two people I captured yesterday are a bit like the accents of the Turks, but their clothes are not, so I am no longer sure, but the people who rescued them also have the same accents, so I am sure that they are Turks." Chen Meng said, glanced around here, and then said: "Recently, the Turks have been restless on the border again, and there may be an incident at the end of the year, you said that in this delicate time, they wear clothes that do not belong to them, what is this for?" ”

"Did you send someone to follow you?" Li Yan heard a lot of information, was silent for a while, and said.

"This is not it, now the relationship between the two parties is very delicate, and it will not be good if the tracking is found to be left behind." Chen Meng shook his head and said. I have to say that Chen Meng thought very thoughtfully. Chen Meng said this, and his voice changed and said: "But I saw the two of them just now, wearing the clothes of our common people, mixed in the crowd, I don't know what they are going to do, when I came to look for you, I have already asked people to keep an eye on the prison." ”

"Oh, that's it, since you're staring, ignore them for the time being, you send two more shrewd people, as long as they have any changes, just knock them out. Then throwing it in the woods is fine, it's a good idea we don't want to get into trouble. After Li Yan heard it, he gave a good idea, and Chen Meng said it was good when he heard it. Then it's time to get on with things.
