The two of them inexplicably thought of some famous figures in history from the Kong Ming Lantern in the sky, and inexplicably discussed it.

It wasn't until the river began to float with lit lanterns that the attention was diverted.

At first, it was sparse, and soon there were dense small lanterns floating all over the river, dotting the entire night sky, which was particularly dreamy and beautiful.

Shen Qingwan's eyes were shining with appreciation: "It's a downstream, has the lantern race started?" ”

"And a stick of incense!" Duan Yuyuan looked at the sky: "Do you want to release river lanterns?" ”

Shen Qingwan shook her head, and suddenly smiled: "Don't let it go, I'm still waiting to take it back!" With so many lanterns, the people who clean up the river tomorrow should work hard! ”

It is impossible to let them drift away or sink to the bottom, otherwise the river that has been deep for so many years will be filled in.

"Poof...... You think too much, this kind of thing, why do you want to think about the finishing thing? Although it was hard work, there was extra pay and bounty, and they wished they could have such good things every day. Duan Yuyuan couldn't cry or laugh.

Everyone else is thinking about putting lanterns, making a wish or something, but Shen Qingwan is thinking about the follow-up of the cleanup, won't he feel very bad about the scenery?

"I see." Shen Qingwan nodded, but he really didn't feel it.

People on both sides of the strait are full of voices, playing their own games, all waiting for the lanterns to be turned on.

Not long after, a group of big figures appeared, all of whom had predetermined their positions, causing a riot among the masses.

"It's really lively this year, and it's all here." Duan Yuyuan propped his chin and lazily watched a wave of people appear in the distance, and many people were watching the round.

Shen Qingwan looked back, looked at the river twice, and then looked at the river: "Let them be, they won't meet anyway." ”

When a few princes and a group of young ladies and daughters appear, there will definitely be very strong guards, and the people can watch, but they can't get close.

The two of them wore human skin masks, and they were not afraid to face each other.

There are so many people on the scene, so it's not enough to focus on the two of them, otherwise, what kind of fate does that have to be?

"Madame is right." Duan Yuyuan chuckled, his eyes turned, and he also looked at the river, although he had been here many times, he didn't think it was very good-looking, but now he feels different.

Shen Qing drank tea at night, and casually saw a group of nobles being taken to a platform by the head of the Yi family, and couldn't help but be quiet, and the field of vision was very wide.

"It's a pity that Yi Rongrong can't appear." Shen Qingwan chuckled, since she was revealed to be pregnant that day, Yi Rongrong didn't seem to be going out again, or rather, she couldn't, Yi Anhou has been passing on to the present, but she is nervous about the child.

"Can you still recognize it? With this face? Duan Yuyuan squinted, he definitely couldn't ask those people to destroy the world of the two!

Knowing that Jiang Yining would come out, Duan Yuyuan had already given Qi Yu the news in advance, and when the time came, let him arrest someone himself, and Jiang Yining would not be too late to find Shen Qing.

"That's what I said, but Yi Ning said that he was going to come over today, why haven't I seen it yet?" Shen Qing was suspicious, yesterday's letter just said that it should have been allowed by Mrs. Shangshu, so it wouldn't change the hexagram so quickly!

The corners of Duan Yuyuan's mouth twitched, and sure enough, it was so.

Fortunately, he was prepared: "Qi Yu will look for her, saying that she has prepared a surprise for her, so don't participate." ”

Shen Qingwan blinked: "Surprise, okay!" "It's really hard to get into.

"It's ......" Duan Yuyuan reminded him, looking at the very loud sky-shattering cannon in the sky, and a flash of red.

Shen Qingwan suddenly heard a powerful voice erupting at the starting point far away, all kinds of cheers and cheers, obviously spread far away, and the atmosphere immediately became feverish.

Shen Qingwan looked at the direction curiously, there were dense small lanterns in the entire river, these were all obstacles.

After half a bell, the voices of people were getting closer and closer, and Shen Qingwan began to see a few particularly bright lights coming over.

Shen Qingwan saw the lantern boat for the first time in the competition, it was really big, and the shapes were different, there were flying cranes spreading their wings, clouds were splendid, monkeys picking peaches, etc., there was an illusion of allusions and a hundred flowers blooming.

Shen Qingwan's eyes widened, watching those lantern boats getting closer and closer, and there were many people holding oars and sitting in small boats on both sides of each boat, constantly speeding up the rowing boat.

This direction is a bit awkward, after all, it is not to speed up your own boat, but to row the boat next to you, if you don't pay attention, your boat will run away, and it will take some effort to get it back.

Shen Qingwan felt that such a scene was quite unusual, most people would row by themselves, but sitting on the boat to row other boats, this unpracticed really can't find skills.

However, those who are ready to participate in the competition will definitely have training, and they all look orderly, uniform, and the force is not biased, which shows that they have mastered certain skills.

"It feels like a different kind of dragon boating." Shen Qingwan chuckled, there will be a dragon boat race in this section of this river, it seems to be a good place.

However, there were no drums in the lanterns, only cheers and exclamations from both sides of the strait.

Although it doesn't have the momentum of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, it's not good to be too murderous during the New Year.

Just thinking about it, the lantern boats have already come over in large numbers, and the fastest ones have passed Shen Qingwan's line.

Looking at the number, there are really a lot of participants.

And some lantern boats are really big, the draft is very deep, and the speed is not slow.

The speed of the boat has little to do with the draft, it depends on how well the boat is built.

Just when Shen Qingwan's voice fell, she really felt a murderous aura, and the water in her mouth sprayed a little: "Murderous aura? Am I delusional? ”

Duan Yuyuan looked at the lanterns of the Ten Halls Yama with a solemn expression, and his brows twitched: "No." ”

Shen Qingwan also noticed the lantern boat, which was particularly large and had a strange meaning.

I will think of a good allusion during the New Year, who will have anything to do with Yama?

However, Nayama's ship seems to be very fast, and every year there are such peculiar solitary people, although everyone also mutters, but they don't pay much attention to it.

The lantern ship of the Ten Palaces Yama was rapidly approaching the finish line, and it felt that other ships had no ability to compete anymore, but the murderous aura that Shen Qingwan felt was also rising rapidly.

When passing by the grandstand of that group of nobles, the lantern ship of the Ten Halls Yama suddenly flew up, and the huge hull flew directly out of the water, like a chariot, and flew towards the stand.

This situation stunned everyone, and they were so shocked that they didn't react at all.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the lantern boat crashed into the stands, but fortunately, the guards were powerful, and at the critical moment, many daughters and nobles were protected, and several princes and princes and so on, all flew away to avoid it as soon as possible.

Thanks to the popularity of martial arts and the pomp of the rivers and lakes, the average master seems to have learned two tricks, and the crisis is coming, but it is still feasible to dodge.

Therefore, although such a large lantern boat flew over and affected some people, the process was too long, giving people a long time to dodge.

Obviously, the lantern ship was not the main means of attack, but at the moment of shattering, a number of black-clothed men with swords flew out of the hull, and they killed those who were not poorly dressed.

At the same time, a number of black-clothed people who had taken off their disguises also jumped out of the crowd, and the scene was instantly chaotic, and a smell of blood swept away with the wind.

Seeing the bright sword approaching, many people reacted, screaming and dodging around.

Because there were many people on the shore, the confusion quickly spread, and quite a few people were pushed into the river.

Shen Qingwan and Duan Yuyuan sat in their positions without any movement, and it was difficult for them to run around, so they heard that the river was like dumplings, and some people fell down one after another, and they couldn't scream for help.

Because the river is as deep as the middle of the river, it is terrible to fall.

"Alas, what a good race, why are there so many killers in the capital?" Shen Qingwan sighed, there was a snack stopper.

She also came to see the lanterns for the first time, but there was no perfect ending.

Someone had already crossed the finish line in the chaos, but who cares about the race in this situation?

On the contrary, the people on the river are not easy to reach, and they are completely confused about the status quo when they are stunned.

Duan Yuyuan glanced at the stands: "I feel that I am in the same group as the group of people on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Shen Qingwan touched her chin: "What are the people behind the scenes going to do?" Chinese New Year's Eve also said that he wanted to assassinate the emperor, but now? Are you ready to wipe out the upper nobles of Daze? ”

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be specifically targeted." Duan Yuyuan squinted: "Indiscriminate attack? ”

Shen Qingwan frowned: "Some people from the rivers and lakes have been affected, Ah Yuan, almost everyone is here today, but you are not here, will there be anything wrong?" ”

Duan Yuyuan nodded: "According to common sense, this must be very inappropriate, even if it wasn't me, those people would try their best to make me carry the black pot." ”

Shen Qingwan was surprised: "Then what now?" On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Assassin Leader didn't hurt you, and if you say that you play a play, you will be in trouble. ”

This has something to do with treason, and you must not touch it!

The battle had already spread to the neighborhood, Duan Yuyuan smiled at Shen Qingwan, took her hand and followed the crowd away.

The battle is particularly chaotic now, with the men in black and the guards, as well as some of the affected Jianghu people.

The guards and the Jianghu people have a tacit understanding to deal with the man in black, and it is obvious that the man in black is not reasonable.

The temper of the people in the rivers and lakes is upright, and when the road is uneven, he draws his sword to help, and the man in black has hit in front of him, and there is no reason not to fight back.

Now it may be to save the nobles, and many people in the rivers and lakes also have the heart to help.

After such a delay, almost all the target people retreated to safety, and at the same time, the Royal Forest Army and the Swift Raider Jinyi Guard were rushing in.

"Don't worry, my stand-in appeared in the palace in the afternoon, and asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse, Master Bai is really powerful." Duan Yuyuan escorted Shen Qingwan through the crowd, his fingers clasped tightly, for fear of being scattered.

"Stand-in?" Shen Qingwan was surprised, and then it occurred to her that there was a disguise master under him, and it should be easy to get a stand-in.

What's more, the "King of Chu" is "nourishing his body" in the palace, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get close to check.

"You're so good at planning ahead!" Shen Qing sighed in the evening.

"I'm used to it, anyway, I'm in cross-dressing, and it's necessary to have a stand-in." Duan Yuyuan said calmly: "As long as it doesn't appear clearly, you need such a stand-in, otherwise, some things will be difficult to explain." ”

Shen Qing gave Duan Yuyuan a thumbs up, although the reason was very distressing, but the result was good.

"Can you learn from the disguised one under you?" Shen Qingwan asked suddenly.

"Who wants to learn?" Duan Yu was far from puzzled, blocking the people pushing in front.

"Xunhan, I think it's really better to have a stand-in who can handle it, now I can only let Mu Tao replace me, and then lock it in the room, if someone has to go in to check, they have to go in and goof." After Shen Qingwan finished speaking, he frowned again: "However, there is one thing that is not good, Xun Han and Mu Tao are older, I am ready to marry them out after a while!" ”

"If you study for too long and haven't finished learning, you're already married." Shen Qingwan sighed, she felt that this matter was quite nerve-wracking recently.

"The right person?" Duan Yuyuan chuckled, there were more men than women under him.

"Well, let's talk about it, think about it in the long run." The more Shen Qing thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, and the study time was too long, which delayed Xunhan.

"Pick a young one, you can use it in half a year, if you don't have a suitable one, I'll pick one to cultivate." Duan Yuyuan pulled Shen Qing to a safe place at night, and soon got out of the crowd of people.

From a distance, I heard the sound of help by the river, and the catcher who had arrived at the scene was immediately assigned to jump into the river to save people.

The Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army quickly surrounded and suppressed the black-clothed man, mainly capturing alive and supplemented by killing.

The man in black has already sent a signal to retreat, but there are brocade guards on the empty road, and there are too many people on the ground to disguise it instantly, so he can only be caught in the urn.

All of a sudden, the man in black suffered heavy losses.

Jin Yiwei is a department subordinate to the emperor, and the catcher is Jing Zhaoyin's manpower, so the two are completely different.

Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qingwan had just turned into an alley, and the number of people around them instantly decreased, but a person wearing different brocade clothes and guards came in front of them.

The golden silk unicorn suit, that is the commander of the brocade guard.

Shen Qingwan recognized it at a glance, took a step back, and stood aside to let him pass by.

Duan Yu glanced at it from afar, turned around and continued to look at the people who were running, after a period of chaos, the places where there were people in black were vacant, which was convenient for arrest and fighting.

Gong Xiao approached, he hadn't paid attention to it yet, but suddenly he couldn't help but look at Duan Yuyuan twice, his face may be ordinary, but his bearing seems to be a little different, ordinary people?

"Did you see any suspicious characters?" Gong Xiao asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on Duan Yuyuan.

Duan Yuyuan's eyelids lifted: "What do you mean, adult?" ”

Raised his chin: "It's full of suspicious people over there." ”

Gong Xiao turned his eyes and couldn't help laughing: "That's what I said, leave quickly, it's not safe here." ”

Jianghu people! Gong Xiao suddenly had a hint of judgment, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Duan Yuyuan pulled Shen Qingwan: "Madam, let's go!" ”

Shen Qing glanced at Gong Xiao more and nodded, this Jinyi Guard commander is the youngest one, and he is super narcissistic, and he is often explained that he can eat with his face, but he has to rely on strength, and there is news that this concept comes out of Gong Xiao's own mouth.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard is the emperor's pro-army and the most trusted general.

However, Gong Xiao is very miraculous in the replacement of the old and new emperors, and he has not been perfectly preserved, and his position has not been threatened.

Although it is a bit narcissistic to rely on face and strength, it is also true in this regard.

Gong Xiao squinted at the two of them, and realized that this woman didn't look like a commoner, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Shen Qing was sad for a while in his previous life, so he could understand the grassroots better than Duan Yuyuan in disguise.

But when the two stand together, it is easy to be noticed, and there is still a little difference after all.

As a result, before the two of them took a few steps, two men in black fell from the sky, obviously forced to this place.

The man in black was red-eyed, and when he saw Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qingwan blocking the way, he raised his sword and slashed, and he didn't even see Gong Xiao behind the two, otherwise they would definitely choose another direction to escape.

said that it was too late, and with a wave of the folding fan in Duan Yuyuan's hand, the two of them were overturned with a wave of energy.

Duan Yuyuan himself was stunned, and then pulled Shen Qingwan through as if nothing had happened.

Gong Xiao's eyes lit up, master! Originally, I wondered if these two people were suspicious, but now they can at least be sure that they are not accomplices of the man in black, so there is no need to provoke an unknown master.

Duan Yuyuan pulled Shen Qingwan and walked a long way, spread his hands and looked at it: "I have to find someone to practice...... "I can't even figure out my own strength, and I haven't been able to take care of this stubble recently."

"You can find Master, it must be enough for you to practice." Shen Qingwan was curious: "The breakthrough has been fast recently?" ”

Duan Yuyuan nodded: "The realm is like destroying the ancient era, I originally wanted to go and see Master Ruo, but I didn't dare to go." ”

After being reborn, the Vientiane Buddhist Sutra has improved too quickly, and Duan Yuyuan has been so busy that he hasn't practiced much recently.

"Then you have to adapt to your own strength, it's been so chaotic lately, assassins can fly all over the sky." Shen Qingwan complained, a good Shangyuan Festival, there is nothing.

"Don't worry, if something happens today, the entire capital will definitely be cleaned up." Duan Yuyuan nodded.

Forget about others, the common people have been affected, and the emperor has to give an explanation, and the people have experienced such a thing, and they will take the initiative to cooperate with the officials to search for suspicious candidates, and the work will be carried out.

Shen Qingwan sighed: "I hope those who fell into the river can be safe and sound." ”

In this weather, the river is cold, and even if you don't drown, beware of frostbite.

"I'll send you back first, I'm afraid I'm going to be blacked out later, and I don't have anything to play."

"Oh, let's go back!" Shen Qingwan also lost the nature of playing.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Qing returned home, the large army of the Royal Forest Army drove out and cleared all the streets.

The crowd on the street hurried home, the shops on both sides were closed, and the originally hot street became depressed and quiet in an instant, and this vigilance continued until the next morning, so that the people went out carefully.

Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guard did not arrest people indiscriminately, and they only asked if they were really suspicious, and they couldn't get the customs clearance documents, or they couldn't prove their identities, so they focused on it.

Shen Qingwan had just sat in the room for a while, and Amu came in: "Miss, there is no one by the river anymore." ”

Shen Qingwan raised his eyes: "How about the dead and injured?" ”

"The dead were all guards, and the people were rescued in time, and the old man of the Yi family was injured." Amu is still so concise.

Shen Qingwan frowned: "Is it serious?" ”

"I don't know yet, but it's said to be a sword wound. But miss, something happened to the Qin Palace......" Amu hesitated.

Shen Qingwan raised his head, his starry eyes flickering.

"The second girl's child is gone, King Qin was originally watching the lanterns by the river, and the assassin came out, and he was busy dealing with things later, and he hasn't returned home yet." Amu reported.

Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment: "So fast? Sure enough, King Qin's eldest son was not so easy to give birth. ”

originally thought that Shen Yijia would be able to hold out until the concubine entered the door, but who knew that there was no other woman now.
