Somewhere in a tea stall two streets and alleys away from the south gate of Fengfu, Wei Xingzhen took him and waited at the wooden table facing the street.

He looked at Wei Xingzhen several times - he had been staring in a certain direction without saying a word since just now.

I had to choke the words back to my throat, because every time Wei Xingzhen showed this expression, it was probably thinking about his own business and didn't want to be disturbed, if he rushed up to talk at this time, it would probably make him unhappy.

This has happened more than once, and each time it has been very frustrating.

Thinking about it, you have to lean on the other side of the way.

“…… Hey, do you feel like your wife is around here? ”

The unashamed nose moved, and then nodded earnestly.

The two of them once again glanced at the pedestrians on the street - although there was a faint smell of Feng Yan in the wind, they had seen the street eight hundred times so far, and they still hadn't seen half of Feng Yan.

Time passed little by little, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore.

"My lord, why don't we go to the Feng Mansion and ask again? You see, if we don't set off again, we're afraid we won't be able to make it to the Warm Smoke Pavilion......"

Wei Xingzhen came back to his senses, he looked at the sky, and suddenly got up, "Go and lead the carriage and wait here for me to come back." ”

With that, he walked to the other side of the alley.

"Hey, where are you going, my lord?"

Wei Xingzhen ignored what was going on behind him, he walked through the streets, through the crowd, slowly along the lanterns on both sides of the road, and finally stopped in front of a candy man shop.

Before Wei Xingzhen could speak, Feng Yan had already turned her head - whenever Wei Xingzhen approached, she was always the first to notice.

Under the pale yellow candlelight, smoke rose from the boiler between the two.

The two looked at each other.

“…… Ah Yan. Wei Xingzhen spoke first.

Feng Yan opened her mouth slightly, half of the word "Wei" was in her mouth, and suddenly remembered that the title of "Lord Wei" was probably not very popular with the people in front of her.

However, the word "Xingzhen" is okay to write on paper, in front of ...... It seems that some can't be spoken.

Feng Yan took a light breath, withdrew her gaze, and smiled, "...... There you are. ”

"Hmm." Wei Xingzhen walked to Feng Yan's side.

"I see some gadgets here, so I'll take a look first, no delay."

Wei Xingzhen shook her head, "No." ”

He looked at Feng Yan.

Feng Yan was looking at the iron spoon and white porcelain drawing board in the sugar man's hand at the moment, watching the old man paint with syrup.

In her left hand, she held a shadow puppet of dark gold sugar paintings, and in her right hand she held a fist-sized brocade box, with several strings of beads woven with flower rope on her wrist.

These are probably all things she bought from the shop in this alley.

Feng Yan, who is pretending to be a man, looks very small, with fair skin, like a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen.

Today's Feng Yan is wearing a round-necked robe in the color of the bamboo moon, with thin stripes and dark stripes. Her long hair, which used to hang down her waist, was now tied up like a man, and all the broken hair from her forehead to her sideburns was neatly tucked into her head.

It's just that there is really no way to do the broken hair on the back of the neck, they hang down softly a few strands and fall on Feng Yan's neck.

Wei Xingzhen wanted to reach out and touch the broken hair on the back of her neck with the back of her fingers, but when she raised her hand, she realized how abrupt this was, so she put it down again.

He frowned and whispered, "I haven't ...... for a long time."

Feng Yan waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Wei Xingzhen's next words, and couldn't help but turn around and say, "It's been a long time and nothing?" ”

Wei Xingzhen originally wanted to say that he hadn't seen Ah Yan dressed like this for a long time, but he quickly realized the problem with this sentence - when had Ah Yan ever dressed as a man before.

“…… I haven't seen you for a long time," Wei Xingzhen said softly, "Ah Yan has been doing alone lately?" ”

Feng Yan nodded, "It's okay, what about you." ”

"I ...... Not good. Wei Xingzhen replied in a low voice.

Feng Yan smiled and didn't speak.

The old man who was doing the sugar painting raised his head at this time, smiled and handed the freshly baked rabbit to Feng Yan, Feng Yan took the stick with the sugar painting stick, but inserted it and the painting he was holding back into the old man's straw rack.

The old man was stunned for a moment, "Eh, you ......"

"The money for the sugar painting, my husband will collect it. It's not convenient for me to hold the sugar, so it's interesting to watch you draw. ”

Feng Yan put some copper plates in the old man's hand, pulled Wei Xingzhen and turned away.

……

On the way to the Warm Smoke Pavilion in Dongshi, Feng Yan sat in the same carriage with Wei Xingzhen for the first time in a long time.

The two sat together, but they were both staring ahead.

This scene suddenly seemed to go back to the day of the wedding when they went to the Zhenguo Mansion together - at that time, they were also like tonight, relatively silent all the way.

Feng Yan suddenly laughed and said in a low voice, "Speaking ......"

Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan and found that the other party had turned his head at some point and was looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to ask," Feng Yan tilted her head slightly, "what happened to the martyrs?" ”

"It's not over yet." Wei Xingzhen replied, "There is news from the Heavenly Master, saying that there are reliable informants who have provided new clues, and it was their plan for the martyrs to appear together in Daizong Mountain before the double sacrifice, and there is a known leader named 'Blemied' with eyes like mercury - but among the corpses of the existing martyrs, no one meets this characteristic...... Du Tianshi has already gone to check. ”

"Have you told Your Majesty about this?"

"Not yet."

Feng Yan nodded, "Then He Kui and Di Yang, how are they arranged later?" ”

"Gong He was already sent out of the city yesterday," Wei Xingzhen said softly, "Since the martyrs may resurrect at any time, then it is not good for Gong He to stay in Luoyang City, it is better to send him to his old friend in Lingnan earlier-"

"Thank you."

Wei Xingzhen glanced at Feng Yan, "What did Ah Yan say?" ”

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for your kindness to rescue He Kui."

Wei Xingzhen was a little surprised, "I have to thank you, but I should thank Ah Yan for helping me hide it in this matter, after all-"

"Chastity."

Feng Yan suddenly interrupted Wei Xingzhen's words and tried to call out his name.

Sure enough, she saw Wei Xingzhen's face condensed slightly, as if what she had just shouted was not his name at all, but some kind of spell that made people lose their minds.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yan asked with a smile, "Didn't you say that you couldn't get used to hearing the words 'Lord Wei' before, and you want me to call your name." Or do you say that after listening to 'Lord Wei' for so long, you can't get used to hearing it when I call my name......"

"I'm used to it, of course I'm used to it." Wei Xingzhen reacted, he looked at Feng Yan with some confusion, "I'm just ...... Kind of don't understand. ”

Feng Yan looked away, with a smile in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something.

Wei Xingzhen had a faint premonition in his heart, and he looked at Feng Yan, quietly waiting for the answer she was going to give.

That's when the carriage stopped.

The sound of going to the outside came.

"My lord, my wife! The Smoke Pavilion has arrived! ”
