I couldn't help but feel that my palm was hot, this hot current, from her palm, kept up, and I felt that my face was also hot, but Jiang Yang turned around calmly, but he still paused and waited for Xinyue, and asked, "Let's go?" ”

Crescent Moon nodded "Go"

While witnessing this scene, Rong Ying frowned, and the mist in his eyes became thick again.

By the time they reacted, both of them had already walked away.

The liveliness of the West Market, you can get a glimpse of the Chang'an West Market in the Tang Dynasty, and the last market before the Spring Festival, it is not enough to describe the liveliness here with overcrowding, even the river in the south of the West Market, there are also people rowing boats, selling and buying.

The crescent moon enters from the beginning of the West Market, but after only four or five steps, it is immediately integrated into the lively scenery.

The stalls are placed in the gaps of the shops, like stars next to a bright moon, and at this time someone is connecting the lanterns overhead, as if the bustle here will last for a day and a night.

Xinyue looked at the atmosphere in front of her, and suddenly forgot what she was going to buy for a while, but really wanted to experience this kind of excitement and prosperity.

"Be careful" Jiang Yang stretched out his hand and pulled the crescent moon, only to hear the sound of "snort", the juggling artist spit out a ball of fire from his mouth, and the fire looked hot and vigorous, rising straight into the sky.

After Xinyue stood firm, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help laughing, "This, look at you." ”

Feng'er held the new moon and threw two copper plates into the artist's reward box, and the artist saw that someone was rewarding, so he blew it even harder.

Rong Yingben was very unaccustomed to such an occasion, people pushed each other, although there were Jiang Yang and his own guards around the periphery, but there were too many people, and it was still impossible to avoid crowding, I really don't know why Xinyue came to these places.

Xinyue looked at the bright firelight, her eyes were lit up, she smiled, her voice was like a silver bell, Rong Ying just glanced at it, and couldn't take her eyes off it.

Jiang Yang stood beside Xinyue, and after watching the juggling with her for a while, he asked, "What are you going to buy next?" ”

"I, I'm going to buy some cloth, furs, etc." It took a long time for the new moon to remember what she wanted to buy.

"Let's go, the stall in front is the place of Liang Guoren, and there are good skins." Jiang Yang has the characteristics of being tall and observant, and as soon as he looks up, he sees a place not far away, but there is only one place where the business is not very good, and it must be the stall of Liang Guoren.

"Okay" The two walked forward a dozen steps and arrived at this fur stall.

The stalls are very large, like two or three large ordinary stalls, and they are full of large and small leathers.

The boss and the two guys were a little bored, but when they saw people coming, they immediately greeted them.

Seeing these Liang people, Xinyue was no different from the people of the Great Sage, so she stabilized her emotions and said, "Give me two mink skins, four fox skins, and a few roe deer skins." ”

"What is the girl going to do?" The boss asked carefully.

"Make two small cloaks and four or five knee pads." Xinyue said, glancing at Jiang Yang, not that he was going back to Biansai after the New Year, let's make one for him too.

"The little recommended girl, you buy more sheepskin, this is the northernmost white cold sheepskin in our Liang country, the most warm, because it is kept on the snow all year round, this skin also has the effect of blocking rain and keeping warm." Saying that, the boss picked and chosen, and turned out a few white sheepskins from under a pile of thick skins, and Xinyue really had no idea for a while, because when she was in King Yu's other residence, she always used the leather sent by Zhuangzi, and she didn't have to pick whether it was good or bad, and this time, she still didn't know how to choose.

Jiang Yang reached out and touched the whole sheepskin on the top, and nodded, "It's not bad, it's not moldy." ”

"That..."Xinyue was about to speak, but was interrupted by Rong Ying, "Slow." ”

Saying that, Rong Ying walked up and picked up the top piece of good skin with her hand, and the smell below came up, and the new moon frowned, it was a musty smell, mixed with a sour smell. Jiang Yang also frowned.

The boss seemed to have such an experience, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile, "This, it's a small negligence, how to take out the moldy skin pressed under the box, but the girl thinks it's not bad, I'll sell it to the girl cheaper, this skin is good to dry under the sun for two hours, and it can still be used." ”

Rong Ying saw that this boss was so dishonest, and then said, "Except for this first one, are the others white cold sheepskins?" ”

"Naturally, naturally, you see that this wind is snow-white, and it is excellent. If the girl sincerely wants it, then in addition to the first skin, these skins can be taken away by the girl for five taels of silver, how about it? A good skin costs ten taels of silver. With that, the boss was ready to wrap the skin and give it to the crescent.

The new moon is indeed a little excited.

Rong Ying stretched out her hand and looked at the leather that the boss had already held in his hand, "Let's go, this person is not honest." ”

"What, what's wrong?" Seeing that Rong Ying was really gone, Xinyue didn't say a word, and left behind Rong Ying, leaving Xinyue in place, I don't know why.

When the boss saw this battle, he sold miserably to the new moon for a while, "This master, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, what's the matter with saying that you are not honest?" Just because we are from Liangguo? We have paperwork, and we are upright..."

The new moon didn't know whether to leave or buy it.

"This is not a white cold sheepskin," Jiang Yang opened his mouth to interrupt the boss's words, pointing to the first one and saying, "Neither of them." ”

"Let's go" Rong Ying didn't stay any longer, Xinyue saw him take a few steps and pulled away from them, Xinyue suddenly had the idea of throwing him over, Jiang Yang also discovered Xinyue's thoughts, and asked Xinyue, "You don't like King Jin?" ”

The new moon made no secret of it, and nodded, "I really don't like it." ”

"Then let's go this way." Saying that, Jiang Yang led the way for the crescent.

Crescent Moon frowned, "General, you..."

Jiang Yang said, "Let's go"

"Okay" said, Xinyue followed Jiang Yang, took a detour from another road, and returned to the bazaar, and Rong Ying could not be found here for a long time.

Crescent Moon couldn't help but laugh, "We got rid of him." ”

"yes, let's go, let's go see the other skins."

Crescent shook her head, "He might be waiting for us at the leather stall in front of us, and we'll go buy the leather last." ”

"Good way" said, Jiang Yang followed behind Xinyue, and when he saw that Xinyue was about to be bumped into again, he hurriedly reached out to pull her. But this time the new moon dodged on its own, and walked several steps quickly, always catching up with the vendor who bought rock sugar gourds in front.

Feng'er paid, Xinyue personally chose one from other people's shelves, handed it to Feng'er, took another one and handed it to Fei'er, and finally took one in each hand and walked to Jiang Yang's side, and then handed one of them to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang shook his head, "I'm so old, how can I still eat what children and women like." ”

"I'm asking you to take it back and give it to Brother Feng to eat, it's not that he went to school today, and he didn't have time to come to the merciful birthday banquet, he must be wronged at home, if there is a rice candy seller in front of him, bring him some back." As she spoke, Feng'er bought back the oilskin paper, and Xinyue carefully wrapped the sugar gourd and handed it to the attendant behind Jiang Yang.

Rong Ying's side, he just walked forward a dozen steps, and when he turned back, he couldn't see the new moon, and when he was about to look for her, he saw her smiling proudly not far away, she tried very hard to keep up with Jiang Yang's pace, but when she saw that it was her idea to get rid of herself, that's why she was so happy, so, Rong Ying suddenly didn't want to step forward to disturb her, so she let her play so happily, under the care of another man, but he suddenly felt that his chest was sore, and he didn't obey the call to go around and follow them.

He looked at the new moon since she couldn't see herself, she was always smiling, she was very happy, and bought a lot of things that seemed out of place with her, and she was followed by another man, who was like a tall stone statue, but always firmly guarded behind her, at this time, she was in front of a mask stall and could not walk.

Jiang Yang is the most observant person, how could he not see the lingering of the new moon, walked straight to the mask stall, reached out and touched the ugliest pig-faced mask among them, but was pinned by the new moon through his sleeve halfway, "General, this mask is not good-looking, if you want a mask, this ghost mask with a blue face and fangs is very suitable for you." As she spoke, Crescent Moon picked up a wooden mask on her left side, and the mask was painted with a ghost face.

"Oh, why?" Jiang Yang didn't expect Xinyue to like such a mask.

Xinyue glanced at the mask in his hand and said with great satisfaction, "It is rumored that the king of Lanling, Gao Changgong, has a handsome appearance, and he is not enough to fear the enemy when he goes into battle, so he put on a hideous ghost mask to deter the enemy. General, you are also the one who leads the troops to fight, although you may not be as handsome as the rumored beautiful man, but you can also follow the example of this prince known as the "God of War", and return home safely in the army. With that, Xinyue handed the mask to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang shook his head and said solemnly, "Dudao, the prince of Northern Qi, won all battles, but in the end, he was suspicious of the monarch and died of poison." Although I envy his achievements, I don't want such an ending at all, if I want to protect the great saint, I can die on the battlefield, if I am suspicious, I would rather die on the battlefield. With that, Jiang Yang took the mask, put it back in its place, and picked up a fairy mask wearing a lotus hairpin next to the ghost mask, and handed it to Xinyue, "I see that you are about to see through it." ”

"You, how do you know I like it" Crescent Moon finally got the mask she liked at first sight, and naturally tried it on, and couldn't put it down. Jiang Yang paid the money and looked at the happy new moon with a smile.

The crescent moon in front of her, wearing a valuable skirt, even the sleeves and neckline are covered with pearls, this is not extravagance and waste, and this is a symbol of her identity, such a woman, Jiang Yang has seen a lot, her sisters and sisters in her own family, nieces and nephews are like this, wearing beautiful clothes, but they are imprisoned in a small world, the only people who can take a closer look at this beautiful woman are their husbands, this kind of flowers born in the courtyard, even if they are beautiful, they are just lonely.

At first, he thought that Xinyue was also one of these flowers, but he was fed up with the indifferent husband, but he also went from the Yuwang Mansion to another courtyard.

But today's new moon, she knows a lot of things outside the yard, she has read books, she knows poetry, knows people's feelings and warmth, but she is also generous and lively, she also has fun in this cloth and grass shoes market, a pair of big eyes are full of joy, novelty and the joy of freedom.

Jiang Yang thought of his wife at this time, she also had such a look at her at the beginning, she was happy and comfortable, even when she didn't like her, she was happy, she seemed to be able to live her life alone. Later, he fell in love with himself, but it seemed to have shackles, every time he went out, she stayed awake all night, holding herself for a moment and refused to let go, she asked herself if she could take her, but the wind on the side, where she could stand it, but she said...

"General, what are you thinking?" Xinyue found that Jiang Yang was distracted, and he couldn't walk anymore.

Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xinyue, she was not wearing a hat, maybe she was getting hot, she was bored so she took it off, and her big eyes were even more revealed, Jiang Yang came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, there is a rice candy seller in front, let's go." ”

Gradually, it was getting dark, and Crescent Moon frowned, obviously she hadn't had enough fun, but if she didn't go back, the city gates would be closed, and she wouldn't be able to get out.

When Xinyue remembered this stubble, she realized that she hadn't bought fur yet, blaming this damn Rong Ying, delaying herself, when she wanted to turn back and buy, the stalls selling goods had already closed their stalls, followed by some snacks and lantern stalls, Xinyue looked at the lotus lantern in her hand with some disappointment, she originally planned to buy some fur, brother and sister-in-law and two children to make some warm things. After the New Year, my brother and sister-in-law are about to be imprisoned, and Xinyue remembers that until she woke up from her dream, her brother and sister-in-law failed to come out of the captivity.

Jiang Yang looked at the sky and said to Xinyue, "Let's go, I'll send you quickly, so that you can come back before closing the city gate." ”

Saying that, Xinyue could only nod, and got into the carriage step by step, and when she arrived at the city gate, she happened to meet the changing of the guard, and in a quarter of an hour, the north city gate was about to close, and it seemed that Jiang Yang was going out, so he couldn't come back.

So Xinyue declined Jiang Yang's kindness to send her again.

"I'll let my two guards send you, and you can arrange a room for them." Saying that, Jiang Yang asked the guards behind him to follow Xinyue, but Xinyue refused, "General, you also know, I am a woman who lives in Zhuangzi, if there is a foreign man, escort me back so late, and be seen by the Zhuanghu, it must be gossip, fortunately, it is only fifteen miles away, and there are many people who go out of the city to go home along the way, it will be fine, so there is no need for these two guard brothers." ”

Jiang Yang saw that Xinyue refused very resolutely, and he did realize her difficulties, so he nodded, "It's me who didn't think about it." ”

In this way, the new moon was not delayed, and the coachman drove to Zhuangzi outside the city.

Xinyue frowned, today's trip to the West Market really made her a little unsatisfied, sitting in the car, she stretched out her somewhat sore legs, Fei'er poured a cup of tea for Xinyue, Xinyue looked out through the curtain while drinking.

On both sides of the road, there were some carts and goods dealers, and some pawns carrying burdens, most of whom lived in the surrounding villages and could walk with the crescent moon for a long time.

In this way, the new moon settled down and sat firmly in the car.

Around two sticks of incense, the originally busy sounds around gradually quieted down, and Xinyue knew that they would soon be home.

Sure enough, Feng'er lowered the curtain and said to Xinyue, "Girl, you have turned into the road on our Zhuangzi." ”

Crescent Moon nodded, there was still time for a cup of tea to get home.

At this moment, Xinyue heard two neighing sounds, and she asked with some anxiety, "What's the matter?" ”

The coachman said, "Girl, three horses have run ahead of us." ”

"And then?"

"The three slowed down." The driver also slowed down.

Crescent frowned, but immediately decided, and said to the coachman, "Rush over." ”

"What?" The coachman didn't hear clearly.

"We're a carriage, and we won't be able to outrun the horse, but if we rush forward before they can form a deterrent, it will make them lose their minds."

"Are you sure, girl?"

"Rush forward, don't worry about anything else, you will be safe when you get to our Zhuangzi." Xinyue lifted the curtain and saw people on horseback who were only ten meters away from them, they all had weapons around their waists, vaguely scimitars, like Liang Guoren, and their distance was getting closer and closer, Xinyue was not sure who it was for a while, but if it fell into the hands of Liang Guoren, it would definitely not end well.

"Yes" As soon as the words fell, Crescent Moon heard a loud horsewhip, and Crescent Moon said to Feng'er and Fei'er, "Hold on." ”

As soon as the words fell, the carriage accelerated violently, and in one fell swoop, the crescent moon could hear the sound of the coachman gasping through the curtain, but after running twenty or thirty meters, the crescent moon felt that they should have crossed the three people, and the new moon quickly lifted the curtain, and saw that the three people really got out of the way, but they were still chasing after them.

"Girl, they're catching up."

"Quick, shout loudly, maybe the people of Zhuangzi can hear it."

As she spoke, Crescent Moon reached out and plucked her hosta from her head and held it in her hand as if she had run for her life by the river that day.

"Help, help, Wangda, Uncle Wang......"

The two girls shouted loudly, but there was still no movement except their voices, they were mad, they went against the wind, and the horses were a little struggling, and the new moon looked at the situation behind for a moment, and the horse of the leader behind was in the front, only a body away from the new moon's carriage.

Xinyue frowned, turned back to the carriage, looked at the stool on the carriage, and moved it hard, although the two girls didn't know what Xinyue was, but they also helped her, and moved the stool, Xinyue saw the opportunity and threw it out from the back window, and the stool fell in the middle of the road, sure enough, the leader behind couldn't dodge, and the horse's hooves stepped on the stool, although the strong horse's hooves immediately broke the plank, but it still delayed some time, and the gap was also raised.

Seeing that this method worked, Xinyue removed the stool that Feng'er was sitting on, and Feng'er and Fei'er went to dismantle the other side, and Xinyue was waiting for an opportunity, but the person in charge had already been fooled once, so naturally there would be no next time, he drove the horse, and the people behind him were separated left and right, even if one of them stepped on the stool, the two behind could quickly catch up.

But the crescent moon did not give up, the two stools were stacked together, separated on both sides, the person on the left stepped on, some unsteadily pulled the horse's head to the right, the two collided, and suddenly were left behind by the leader, and the leader refused to give up, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, the crescent moon felt a flash in front of her eyes, the sharp scimitar, in the moonlight, shook her eyes, but also stimulated her extremely nervous nerves, she asked the coachman, "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

"Two miles to go." The coachman was already sweating, and the horses were tired, and they couldn't hold on for long.

Crescent Moon held the only stool in his hand, and the team behind him regained his speed and chased after him.

They rode all horses, and the most characteristic of this kind of horse is that it has great endurance, although it is not a purebred, but it is much stronger than the ordinary horse in front of him, pulling such a heavy cart. Xinyue thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good way in her mind, looking at the lotus lantern in her hand, Xinyue said to Hao'er, "Take off your clothes." ”

Feng'er didn't dare to hesitate, took off his light gown, Xinyue rolled the gown, put it on the lotus lamp, and placed an oil lamp in the lamp, as soon as it met combustion, immediately lit the gown, Xinyue took a deep breath, kicked the baffle behind the car, and said to the two girls, "Hurry up"

With that, Crescent Moon stood up, holding the half-left baffle in one hand and reaching out with the burning lamp in the other.

Sure enough, the horse two meters away, as soon as she saw the fire, she was afraid, and when the new moon saw that the speed had slowed down, she shook the lamp in her hand, and the lamp surged up, burning her hand, but she refused to relax, and still used the fire that was getting stronger and stronger to deter the horse behind her.

By the light, the crescent moon saw the man on the horse, the masked, the leader was very strong, and reacted very quickly, drew his knife and slashed at the crescent moon, but there was a deviation, cutting the two ropes on the lotus lantern.

This lamp is just three ropes, at this time it is really a thread, the new moon immediately decided, threw the lamp that lit the fire in his hand, and smashed it on the person who was about to sneak attack the new moon from the blind spot on the left, and the person on the left immediately slowed down.

This made Xinyue feel certain, looking at the Zhuangzi after another corner, Xinyue shouted loudly, "Help, help." ”

There was another sound of horses' hooves, there was wind breathing, the crescent moon felt a light in his eyes, after two bangs on the ground, the person who was about to catch up with the crescent moon looked back in disbelief, a black pheasant horse came by mistake, he subconsciously used a knife to block, and the other party's sword was faster, just a stab, the man screamed, and then felt a cold left arm, when he went to see, his hand had flown out, and he was still holding a knife in his hand. The other party still didn't plan to let him go, but looked at the horse's head with a sword.

Blood gushed out, and Crescent Moon felt a heat on her face, it was horse blood, and it splattered on her face, neck and body, and Crescent Moon couldn't suppress her scream.

And at this time, the other village is in front of you, the person in front of the door heard the movement, is slowly opening the door, the coachman braked in time, the horse rushed directly into the door, and the carriage of the carriage was stuck at the threshold outside, only to hear a loud "bang", the world returned to calm, the crescent moon could not be protected, was thrown out of the carriage by the force that came from behind, but just went out half of the body, the new moon felt that his back was tight, and the manpower that grabbed him was very strong, and she lost her center of gravity in front of the horse, and after a back and forth, the horse stopped in the sound of "call". Crescent Moon was hit on horseback, and when she reacted, Crescent Moon pointed to the man's face and said, "You, you ......"
