Chapter 208: Ten Thousand Lights

The crowd on the long bridge gradually moved away from the bustling river, and wandered in front of the endless stream of stalls. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

Some of them are dressed like showmen, lingering in front of the anagram stalls, hoping to meet a favorite lady and continue a legendary love. Some of them wore ragged coarse cloth clothes, staggered with wine jars in their hands, and occasionally fell drunk in the alleys and alleys, no longer envious of the prosperity of the world, nor did they ask passers-by about their melancholy.

The woman's self-directed and self-acting show was really exciting, and Qiu Xiaobai was embarrassed to watch.

Fortunately, this was just a small episode, and he didn't pay attention to it, now that Second Lieutenant Silin had left, he had to quickly come up with a way to delay the people who came to their senses. If Yun Ruyan came to him to ask for someone, what should he do, should he tell the truth or hide it in good faith, and what should the soldiers who have lost their hearts and bones go?

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Xiaobai regretted why he agreed to such a request, and he felt very uncomfortable for a while.

On a starlit moonlit night, thousands of lights are lit, and it is impossible to tell whether the moonlight is mixed with starlight, or the starlight is faintly reflected in the lights. Reflected in this bluestone-paved alley, it looks even more desolate.

There was a huge stone millstone mill at the entrance of the alley, Qiu Xiaobai turned over and sat on it, hanging his legs, looking at the lively crowd in front of him, thinking about the bits and pieces of this short time with a group of soldiers.

There is a family of crispy bread on the corner of the street, a family of three, dressed ordinarily, the husband is constantly kneading the dough to make it, and the wife is holding her son in her arms, stretching out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the sweat from her husband's cheeks.

"You big man is crying here, what kind of body are you doing" A woman's slightly disgusted voice came from behind her.

Qiu Xiaobai retracted his thoughts, rubbed his moist eyes, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, once upon a time, he was so weak that since he promised Second Lieutenant Silin, he had to fulfill his promise.

"You're crying and laughing, you're really sick." The woman said again.

Qiu Xiaobai barely had to look back, he already knew who this arrogant and domineering woman was, such an NC who took the initiative to speak was in front of him, maybe he could get some clues from her, after all, this is the daughter of the city lord.

"As far as I know, all chivalrous women are very busy, you don't rush to seize the time to send your subordinates into the official mansion one by one to win the name of chivalrous women to consolidate your position, but you have time to care about other people's true feelings, it's really ridiculous."

This woman is not only self-righteous, but also arbitrarily judging right and wrong, Qiu Xiaobai was already in a low mood, and was mocked by this unruly NC, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt a little angry in her heart, so she didn't even turn her head and sneered at each other.

The woman snorted, seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and pointed at Qiu Xiaobai and said "you, you, you" three times in a row, but she didn't say why.

"You said I was in vain" The woman obviously took a few deep breaths, she sorted out her thoughts, and when her anger weakened a little, she continued to say in a loud voice: "You said that I arrested my own subordinates and sent them to the government, do you know who I am?"

"You are Qing Liu'er, the daughter of the city lord, and a person with a false name, or a person who brought his subordinates to justice and sent them to the government, I said this, is it clear enough" Her words were arrogant, her tone was extremely wild, but her thoughts were simple, Qiu Xiaobai really didn't want to stay here for a minute longer, so she got up and said this sentence and was about to leave.

"You stop me, you spew blood, tell right and wrong, if you don't explain things to me clearly today, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." Qing Liu'er was extremely embarrassed when she saw him so rude, and immediately stretched out her hand in front of him.

The red lanterns on the street are raised by bamboo poles at the corners of the eaves, blending with the bright full moon, sprinkling the warm and bright light on every street here.

Qiu Xiaobai saw her appearance clearly, Qing Liu'er had changed back into her daughter at this time, wearing a light purple silk dress, wearing a white tulle on the outside, which was as low as her calf, with a jade pendant around her waist, carved with a phoenix nirvana, graceful and light, her face was carved with jade peck, and her willow eyebrows were delicate.

"Well, listen up. First, you caught the thief clean and spotless, except for the dirty shoes; Second, although the thief has a dark face, his figure is rich and round, and his manners are decent, and he is obedient to you, and I think he is the housekeeper of your house, and you must have asked him to paint his face; Third, the woman who lost the package frequently looked at the thief, and the thief also had affection in his eyes, they must be a husband and wife. Qiu Xiaobai crossed his eyebrows coldly, and the words he said were sonorous and powerful, squatting down and parting from the woman, and then said: "There is also the man who echoes on the shore, and the boy who exclaimed on the painting boat, so there is no need to mention it."

The woman was stunned, her face was uncertain, and she was just about to speak, when she heard the man say from afar: "Those who practice martial arts should focus on martial virtues, the so-called perseverance and dignity, respect for it, and harmony with it, uphold it with justice, practice it with diligence, act with righteousness, save it with benevolence, and return it with loyalty, and do not be strong and reckless, and do meaningless things." ”

Qiu Xiaobai fiddled with the double swords on his back, read this paragraph from afar, and waved goodbye in a chic manner, leaving Qing Liu'er stunned in place, without saying a word.

As soon as he passed the corner, Qiu Xiaobai closed the page of the forum, and secretly said in his heart, thanks to this unnamed netizen for leaving a message, otherwise he would not be able to pretend to be so perfect.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the soldiers and horses in the city, but he didn't know that the daughter of the city lord was so rude and willful, and she was so angry at that time, how could she take care of anything else.

After being bothered by this unruly woman, Qiu Xiaobai lost interest and thought about it, so he thought about going back to the pavilion to rest for a while, and by the way, he waited for Wang Defa, this kid, maybe tell Wang Defa the truth first, and then he would tell it to others, which may be easier to accept.

Not long after Qing Liu'er stood there, a personable man appeared from the end of the alley: "I heard that you quarreled with your father and ran out, but you didn't want to come here, but let me find it easy, let's go, sister, the lantern party is about to start." ”

This man is well-dressed, his pale cyan robe pulls his whole body straight and slender, he has a piece of bluestone jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his long hair is tied on his back, looking gentle and elegant, and he looks very literate.

"Let's go" Qing Liu'er glanced back at the direction in which Qiu Xiaobai had left, and said.

I can't help but think of the appearance of the young man when he speaks, chivalrous, this is really an interesting person.
