Chapter 68: Snatching the Sword

Wei Siyu had already sent the letter that had successfully subdued the eighty-six villages of Nanling to Changqi City as soon as possible, and they had no other tasks to do, so the way back was also extremely easy.

On the way back, they didn't need to go to Yiwangfu again, so they didn't go back the same way, but took a different path. At dusk, passing through a small town, they decided to stay and spend the night.

This town is at the junction of Cainan City and Dongsheng Kingdom, so the residents here not only retain the traditional culture and customs of Cainan City, but also are full of the customs of Dongsheng Kingdom.

Today it is especially lively, with lanterns and torches hanging everywhere in the town, illuminating the town as if it were daylight. Not only that, but they also heard someone playing musical instruments, someone singing, and it looked like they were going to put on a big show.

Mu Xiaoran and Wan Sheng are both people who love to join in the fun, and they drill to the most lively places one by one.

It turned out that these voices were all coming from a large square, and the performance should not have officially started yet, and there were not many people on it.

Mu Xiaoran also noticed that there were a lot of food next to the square, all kinds of dim sum food, cold and hot, sweet and sour, all kinds of dishes were placed twenty or thirty meters long. This was obviously more appealing than the performance, Mu Xiaoran and Wan Sheng swallowed their saliva at the same time, and walked towards the long tables full of food.

"Auntie, how do you sell this?" Mu Xiaoran asked, pointing to a plate of steamed cakes with a golden color and attractive color.

When the lady who was sorting out the food heard it, she looked up at the two cute little girls in front of her, and asked with a smile: "If you don't need money, you can eat whatever you want, just eat whatever you want." ”

"Don't want money? All-you-can-eat? Mu Xiaoran didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment, and the huge excitement hit her mind, but a question that suddenly popped up in her mind made her outstretched hand retract again.

There is no such free lunch in the world, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Be careful of deception, eat other people's soft mouths, and take other people's soft hands. Let's understand it before eating.

After Mu Xiaoran thought about it, she also gently pulled Wansheng, glanced at her, and motioned her not to eat casually.

But Mu Xiaoran squeezed her eyebrows, and Wan Sheng couldn't understand what she meant, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with your eyes?" Did you get into the sand? Why don't I blow it to you? ”

Seeing Mu Xiaoran shaking her head, Wan Sheng immediately turned around and stretched out her claws to a plate of pink and tender rose cakes that she had already taken a fancy to.

"It's so delicious, sister, you can taste it too." Wan Sheng shouted, and then found that Mu Xiaoran was looking at her eagerly, and shook her head slightly, she suddenly understood that Mu Xiaoran might be afraid of poison?

"Sister, don't worry, I've tried it, it's not poisonous. I've smelled all these snacks once, and they are not poisonous. You can eat it with confidence. Wan Sheng swallowed the rose crisp and said in a low voice.

"Little girl, are you from outsider? It's also a coincidence that they came to our town today. Today is the knife festival in our town, this is the most lively day in our town, and you can come and play together later. Also, every year on the Knife Handle Festival, Flowing Water Yan will be placed for three days, so ah, these foods can be eaten casually during these three days. The eldest lady just now saw that Mu Xiaoran hadn't eaten yet, and said to her again.

It turned out that this was the case, after listening to Wansheng's words and the aunt's explanation, Mu Xiaoran felt a little ashamed in her heart. Recently, she has encountered too many things, and she has seen too many intrigues and selfishness, so that she is so suspicious of a group of simple people for no reason.

After thinking about it, Mu Xiaoran relaxed and ate. Walking forward while eating, she saw a row of cute and delicate little sugar figures, and thought that Wei Siyu should like it, so she chose a little man in a blue robe, which was exactly the same as the clothes he was wearing today.

Mu Xiaoran took the little sugar man and went to find Wei Siyu, they should still be at the intersection where they parted just now, fortunately, it was not far away. Mu Xiaoran trotted for a while before she arrived, and from a distance, she saw Wei Siyu's straight and slender body standing in the middle of the crowd like a green bamboo.

"Dangdang, do you like it? For you. Cute, right? You see that he is wearing the same clothes as you are wearing today, and this eye and nose, is it very similar to you? Mu Xiaoran happily raised the sugar man in her hand and handed it to Wei Siyu.

Wei Siyu has a black line, what the hell, he's already twenty-two years old, okay? How could you possibly like this sweet sugar man? Also, it's so ugly, where is it like him?

Mu Xiaoran was still holding the candy man, looking at him with big shining eyes without blinking, full of smiles.

couldn't stand it, Wei Siyu stretched out two fingers and pinched the candy man with a little disgust, and said against his will: "I like it." ”

"I know you're going to love it, go, I'll take you to a nice place. You can also come along, there is something delicious. Mu Xiaoran took Wei Siyu's hand and left, and shouted to the soldiers behind him before leaving.

Coming to the square again, the show has already begun, but it doesn't look like a show, it looks like a competition. In the middle of the square stood a pillar with a scimitar tied to the top.

"Sister, you're here." Seeing Mu Xiaoran and Wei Siyu, Wan Sheng waved to them excitedly, and greeted them vaguely with food in his mouth.

Mu Xiaoran gently pinched the flesh on Wan Sheng's face, and said with a smile: "Always yelling to lose weight, I think this meat is with you." ”

"Oh, sister, I'm still growing my body. By the way, you go eat that, the sour soup powder on that table is really delicious. Wan Sheng pointed to a steaming table not far away.

So Mu Xiaoran pulled Wei Siyu over, she brought two bowls of noodles, and the two sat down next to each other.

Not to mention, it's really delicious, slightly sour and spicy, very appetizing.

After eating, Mu Xiaoran was attracted by the cheers coming from the square, it turned out that one person was almost about to grab the scimitar, but was pulled down by another person, and the success fell short.

"Si Yu, you also go and try, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to grab that knife." Mu Xiaoran looked at the young men who were grabbing knives in the square and said to Wei Siyu.

Hearing this, Wei Siyu raised his eyes and looked at the scimitar at the highest point in the center of the square, as well as the people on the field who were competing for that knife. There was no wave in his eyes, and he didn't look interested.

"Boring." Wei Siyu said.

Bored? Mu Xiaoran turned her head to look at Wei Siyu and asked, "But don't you like to be lively?" ”

Wan Sheng also squeezed over and said, "I just heard that this scimitar is the biggest lottery tonight, and whoever gets it will be the king of the knife this year." ”

"Go, go, go." Mu Xiaoran said and pushed Wei Siyu to the center of the square.

Wei Siyu, who was pushed to the center of the square, glanced at the people on the stage, first knocked down the two people around him, and then ran towards the pillar where the scimitar was hanging. He swam among the crowds, like a dragon swimming in shallow water, and easily walked around and moved around until he came to the wooden pillar.

Wei Siyu took a light breath, lightly touched the wooden pillar with his toes, and reached the top of the pillar. He reached out and took the scimitar in his hand, and with a slight leap, landed in the middle of the square.

The crowd of onlookers burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and a young man on the field also smiled and congratulated him, Wei Siyu nodded lightly, ready to stuff the scimitar into the hand of the young man who congratulated him.

Unexpectedly, the young man waved his hand again and again and took a step back, saying: "No, the son has won the treasure sword today, that is our sword king in Yuancheng this year, and the treasure knife cannot be given away at will." ”

Wei Siyu is impatient with so many rules, is it possible to let him bring this broken knife back to Fenghua Palace? He frowned and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone.

Stopping him were two women in their forties, who hung a flower tied into a bright red silk on Wei Siyu's body, and then arched their hands and said with crooked eyebrows: "Congratulations to Gongzi, congratulations to Gongzi!" ”

As soon as the words ended, music sounded on the field, some played the harp, some played the ocarina, and some beat the drum. The music is sprinkled with joy and brightness, and it is joy!
