Huge Kong Ming lanterns made of bamboo and light silk float in the air like clouds.

A thin man looked up at the Kong Ming lantern, with a look of doubt between his eyebrows.

If you get close to him, you can hear him talking to himself: "Why can this Kong Ming lantern fly to the sky?" Why does the Kong Ming lantern fall again when the candle runs out of candles? ”

Ye Chang pulled the insect girl, happened to pass by him, heard his question, and said with a smile: "The Kong Ming lantern can fly to the sky because the candle flame rises and emits hot steam, the hot vapor is light and the cold is heavy, the light one floats and the heavy one sinks, so the Kong Ming lantern is carried by the hot steam, swaying upward, and soaring into the clouds." ”

"Why is the heat so light?" The man asked again.

"Well...... I don't know, since Your Excellency is so curious, why don't you study it? ”

Ye Chang was happy to arouse some people's interest in nature, so he said casually.

The man frowned when he heard this, and said for a while: "Yes, a certain giant deer Zhang Xiu, thank you for this Lang Jun's guidance...... It's just that after the uncle sits, this exhaustive study of the principles of heaven and earth, and the transformation of yin and yang, no one can ask for advice - there was originally Liang Gong, but Liang Gong has also gone immortal......"

He muttered to himself over there, Ye Chang still wanted to ask, who was the "uncle" and the "Liang Gong" that he admired in his mouth, and the insect girl over there was already impatient, so she pulled him and said, "Go, go, go to the shop"

There is really no age limit for women's pursuit of visiting shops. Following this little girl, Rao is Ye Chang always exercised, but she was also tired and panicked. After an hour, it was almost noon, and almost all the stalls in the West and East markets were all visited, and when he touched the most important treasure of the city competition, Ye Chang returned to Chaotian Street.

At this time, the two sides have listed their own treasures, and the shelves under the colorful building are full of all kinds of glazed ware. Each of them is an extremely rare art treasure, and Ye Chang estimates that as long as one piece can be passed on to future generations, its value can be ⊥ a family for several generations of wealth.

It's just that these glazed objects are too fragile, they are even more difficult to preserve than porcelain, and the number is smaller, so there are not many heirlooms.

"I heard that there are treasures at the bottom of the box in the West Market and the East Market, and they haven't been dismantled yet." The insect lady walked around, holding a bamboo tube of sorbet in her hand, her mouth was full of white juice, and asked Ye Chang vaguely.

Ye Chang looked at her like this, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Wipe your face......"

"This sorbet is really delicious, you are really the smartest, Xiang'er's little girl is talking nonsense, but this one sentence is true."

What the insect lady eats is Ye Changxin's invention, sorbet.

The technique of saltpeter dissolving water to make ice was originally born at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Ye Chang advanced it by a hundred years, and naturally did not forget to make ice cream by the way. It's just that the packaging at this time can only be washed and steamed bamboo tubes, and there is also a lack of materials.

"It's sweet, even though it's delicious, don't eat too much, lest you spoil your stomach." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Zhe pulp is sugarcane juice, Taizong Emperor Li Shimin once sent people to Tianzhu to learn the skills of making Zhe pulp, but that kind of skill is still simple, compared to Ye Chang from the "Tiangong Kaiwu" yellow mud filtration method. Jia Mao'er and the others left the ball market, they had to find another business, Ye Chang threw out the ice cream and syrup, although only Jia Mao'er was involved, but let these rangers in Chang'an City understand that as long as they follow Ye Chang, they will not worry about having no way out.

Fang Cai took this sorbet and ate it at the stall that Jia Mao'er was watching.

"Hang up, hang up" For Ye Chang's warning about eating bad stomach, the insect mother only didn't hear it. She pointed to the colorful building and cheered, her expression excited, obviously interested in the treasures used by both sides for the finale.

Her naughty thoughts, Ye Chang naturally understood.

On a beam of the color building on both sides, each hangs a brocade silk, and the lower end of the brocade silk is tied with a package, and the package is the finale of today's city competition between the two sides. At this time, neither party opened it, and the package will not be opened until the agreed time.

Ye Chang was looking at the excitement, but he was grabbed by someone, he looked sideways, and saw Hu Yuanxiang rubbing his hands with a complicated expression.

"What do you command?"

Hu Yuanxiang pulled him aside, and first gave him a long look: "Today's victory in the first two formations depends on Ye Langjun's wisdom, and the old man has no thanks, so he can only do so." ”

"Why should Hu Weng be like this, I just look at Wang Yuanbao unpleasantly, so I just help Hu Weng." Ye Chang said with a smile: "Hu Weng has something to say, if Ye can help, he will definitely reach out." ”

"Fang Cai got the news that the glazed ware on Wang Yuanbao's side came from Da Shi, and it was very exquisite. Lao Yu thought that he would use Zichuan glazed ware, but he never thought that he would get a big food glazed ware - with the old decay hidden, if it is Zichuan, there is still a comparison, big food glazed ware......"

Speaking of this, Hu Yuanxiang shook his head and looked at Ye Chang with hopeful eyes.

Ye Chang could only smile bitterly.

Even if he knew that the further step of the glaze was glass, but without the help of a famous craftsman for a certain period of time, he would not be able to come up with a glassware that could beat Wang Yuanbao

"There is nothing that can be done about this matter, anyway, it has won two games, even if it loses this one, Xishi still has the upper hand." Ye Changdao.

Hu Yuanxiang also knew that Ye Chang couldn't come up with any good ways in this situation, he just witnessed Ye Chang's transformation of decay into a magical method, and tried it with a glimmer of hope. Hearing Ye Chang's words, he could only say again: "Yes, yes, Ye Langjun is reasonable." ”

Seeing that he was still a little disappointed, Ye Chang shook his head, unless the other party made a mistake himself, he would only lose this one.

He and the insect girl went to the east market under the color building, just like the west market, and also tied a package with brocade and hung it on the beam. He was looking at it, and suddenly someone patted him again, and Ye Chang saw that it was Wang Jin.

"It's only two battles, it's all your conspiracy, yes or no?" Wang Jin had no grace at all at this time, and his expression was obviously angry.

"What is a conspiracy, is it not a conspiracy if you admit defeat and don't make any efforts?" Ye Chang responded dissatisfied.

"Ye Shiyi, are you iron-hearted, are you going to do the right thing with this official?"

Wang Jin even brought out the identity of the "official", and before Ye Chang could speak, the twenty-nine Niang who followed him went over first and stepped on Wang Jin's toes.

Maybe it's because Ye Chang has practiced too much on his feet, this foot is ruthless and accurate, Wang Jin's attention is completely focused on Ye Chang, where will he pay attention to this little girl. was trampled by this foot and jumped up directly, although he studied Buddhism and cultivated Buddhism, but he did not learn the form but did not learn the spirit, whether it was to cultivate qi or mind, it was far behind.

So he found out that it was a little girl who had stepped on him, and immediately slapped him and pulled it over.

This was almost an instinctive reaction, in his opinion, the one who was following Ye Chang at this time should be Ye Chang's handmaiden.

As a result, the little girl looked at him coldly, without blinking her eyes, neither dodging nor frightened, and there was a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Horn"

The slap was drawn, but it was not slapped on the face of the insect girl, but was blocked by Ye Chang's arm.

Just by his side, how could Ye Chang let him fight the worm girl

"Bold"

Worm Niang's side, there were still a few maids, and when she reacted at this time, she opened her eyes one by one, and the leader cheered, pointing at Wang Jin.

Wang Jin suddenly shivered.

He had seen the worm girl, but he just looked at it from a distance, and the worm girl had always been unfavored, and she was still young, so he didn't take it to heart. Fang hurriedly waved his palm, but when he calmed down, he recognized the identity of the insect girl.

He is not Ye Chang, who dares to fight a noble lord. After recognizing the identity of the insect girl, I immediately panicked.

"This ...... This ......"

"Wang Jin, yes, I remember." The insect girl looked indifferent, looked at Wang Jin, and nodded.

At this point, it was supposed to be a sign of kindness, but in Wang Jin's eyes, it was full of threats.

If Ye Chang didn't stop him, he slapped the insect girl in the face, and this consequence was not something Wang Jin could bear.

is the eldest princess of Yuzhen, I am afraid that I will no longer look at Wang Wei's friendship to defend him.

Wang Jin's gaze at Ye Chang was very complicated.

If it were him, he would definitely let his palm fall, but Ye Chang blocked this palm. In the case of the insect girl, it was just one less slap in the face, but for Wang Jin, it was one less disaster.

He is not An Lushan, he dares to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven with your lord - if the general does this, Li Sanlang will be happy and happy, and if he, a civil minister, does this, Li Longji will be angry.

At this moment, Wang Jin couldn't help but hug his fist towards Ye Chang, arch his hand, and swayed for a long time.

Ye Chang didn't accept his salute, and pulled the insect girl to avoid it: "Let's go, let's continue to watch the excitement." ”

Wang Jin, who got up, was jealous, ashamed and afraid, he didn't have the face to stay any longer at the scene of the city competition, so he turned around and left, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

The only way for him now is to quickly find his brother, and then go to the eldest princess of Yuzhen to intercede. If you hit the insect girl, it may not be useful to plead, but if you are stopped by Ye Chang, there is still room for a slow turn in this matter.

"Eleven Lang, you just have a good heart." The insect lady squinted and looked at Ye Chang.

"You can't let him really beat you, you stupid little girl, you want to clean him up, there is a way, why do you need to beat him?"

The worm girl was silent.

"This beating, although it helped me, but am I the kind of person who needs a woman to be beaten to get angry?" Ye Chang said again, and then patted the insect girl's head: "Remember, don't do this in the future, your father and Master Taizhen will be distressed." ”

Worm Niang raised her head: "What about you?" ”

"Naturally, it hurts."

Hearing this, the insect girl pursed her lips and laughed.

However, with a smile, she said again: "I can't let my father put that Wang Jin's guilt, but I can't let him feel better, Shiyi Lang, you must have a way"

"What do you want?"

"He was greatly disappointed, he couldn't get everything he wanted."

Ye Chang's heart suddenly had an idea, and he remembered one thing: "Hehe, so...... Let me show you a trick. ”

He said as he looked around.

There are many trees on both sides of the road in Chang'an City, and there are many people who climb on the trees at the beginning, but now most of these people are concentrated in the West Market, and there are a few in the East Market. Ye Chang found a tree, and then asked the monk to push him and push him to the branch.

It seemed that it was no different from other people who climbed the tree to watch the excitement, but in fact, Ye Chang carefully adjusted the orientation of the water jade ball in his hand.

This water jade ball, which was worth a hundred yuan, was crystal clear, and as he adjusted his direction, the sunlight was refracted to the ground through the water jade ball, and then moved to the brocade silk hanging from the East City.

It was a small point of light, maybe only Ye Chang knew how high the temperature was in the bald head of Lu Dao.

The insect girl looked up at him on the ground, very puzzled by his action. Ye Chang made a silent gesture and motioned for her to look at Jinbo.

The ignition point of silk was not high in the first place, so after only a few moments, green smoke was already rising from the point of light, which was almost invisible.

At this time, people's attention is mostly focused on the various treasures displayed under the color building, as for the brocade silk hanging things, no one pays attention. Seeing this change, the insect girl couldn't help but exclaim, but immediately covered her mouth.

The monk who followed opened his mouth wide, and almost all his saliva flowed out.

It's the maids who followed the insect girl, they came out of the palace, and they had long been accustomed to seeing everything to hide their true emotions, and although their eyes were round, no one made a sound.

A small flame came out, and then quickly turned into a tongue of fire, greedily licking the brocade silk. Originally, it was extremely flammable, and it was summer in the dryness, and in a blink of an eye, the entire brocade was swept away.

At this time, Ye Chang had already put away the water jade ball, and he shouted on the tree: "Go water, go water"

He was not the only one, many people had already found out, and everyone avoided shouting, and the Wuhou soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed over with buckets of water.

But no matter how fast they are, where can they get faster than the fire

At the same time as they rushed in, the brocade silk hanging in mid-air had burned out, and the package containing the glazed treasure fell from mid-air.

Originally, it was not very high, but it was only about two meters, but this street was hardened with cement. Therefore, as soon as he fell to the ground, he could only hear a "bang" and a "whoosh".

The "bang" is obviously that the glazed ware inside is broken, and the sound of "snort" is that Wang Yuanbao almost lost his breath.

"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire, if you burn those pretenses, it will be bad" Ye Chang shouted loudly.

The soldiers who were originally slowed down by Wang Yuanbao's "whoop" suddenly thought that this was not the time to be stunned, if the silk banners tied to the colorful building were all burned, the colorful building would burn down, and even the fire might be extended to the market

Fortunately, it was just a brocade silk, and after these soldiers splashed the water on it, the fire was brought under control and quickly extinguished completely.

Ye Chang had already come down from the tree at this time, standing on the side casually watching the excitement. The insect girl and the maids around her, their round eyes had not yet closed, and they stared at Ye Chang like ghosts and gods.

In their eyes, Ye Chang is really like a fairy

"Now we can see what it looks like." Ye Chang smiled harmlessly, tiptoed, and looked at the crowd.
