Today happens to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, the street is very lively from the morning, all kinds of small stalls and vendors come out with things to sell, among which the lantern masks are the most popular, every year on the first night of the new year, there will be a temple fair and a lantern festival accompanied by dragon and lion dances, not to mention how lively it is, so most of the people buy these things during the day, and then casually shop and eat.

On such days, few people spend a whole day at home, and even the cleanest and most remote teahouse in the past has now invited the storyteller to come, and the following is even more full, let alone the lively place in the past.

Bai Lingchen and his entourage arrived in the south of the city before they got off the carriage and were attracted by the lively applause, and the cheers one after another wrapped the artists' hard performances, Bai Lingchen seemed to be lazily leaning on the side of the carriage and waiting for Duan Jingcheng, but his eyes carefully swept every street as far as his eyes could see.

Sure enough, as he expected, in addition to the necessary patrol officers and soldiers on the first day of the new year in previous years, this year there were many additional masters of concealment in the city, just by walking without touching the ground, he could conclude that the martial arts of these people would never be under the Royal Forest Army, and then estimated the number of these people, he suddenly knew in his heart.

These people should all be people in the palace, and the assassination in the palace last night was ordered by Emperor Duan to block all news from spreading, and the reason given was that it could not make people panic during the Chinese New Year, but Bai Lingchen guessed that Emperor Duan did not release the news, and he also wanted to make it convenient for himself.

As soon as he saw these hidden masters again, he could almost conclude that Emperor Duan would come to Yiwangfu again, Bai Lingchen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, now that Xiaoqiu is not by his side, he is missing an excellent helper, Xiaodong has no martial arts and can't count on it at all, Bai Lingchen has to find a suitable reason to get out.

"Bai Gongzi?"

Bai Lingchen came back to his senses and found that Duan Jingcheng and his party were about to walk under the signboard of Huamanlou, and hurriedly pretended to be casual and walked over lazily, Duan Jingcheng couldn't mess things up, so he didn't pay much attention to his expression when he called Bai Lingchen, but hurriedly gathered people to dismantle the door panel and set off firecrackers.

"When did Princess Yi say that the auspicious time came?" Duan Jingcheng wiped the sweat from his head, he didn't do any work but looked more tired than anyone else, Xiao Tao hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief, "There is about half an hour before the auspicious time, the prince doesn't have to be in such a hurry." ”

Duan Jingcheng wiped it indiscriminately, "How can you not be in a hurry, the fourth child and the princess have not come, if I mess things up, how can I have the face to meet them, how is the back kitchen?" Can you be ready when the guests come in a while? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, the kitchen is ready, let's just wait for a while and set off firecrackers directly!"

Xiao Tao's face was beaming, but Duan Jingcheng was nervous and couldn't stretch his eyebrows, he was called a waste prince in the court, he had no ability and ability, Hua Manlou was the only place that could make him turn over, he looked around and all the subordinates were making the final preparations before opening in an orderly manner, only the white clothes in front of the counter looked a little out of place.

Duan Jingcheng shook his wheelchair over, "Bai Gongzi, what's the dissatisfaction?" Why does it seem to be displeased? ”

"No," Bai Lingchen leaned against the counter, still lazy, "Doesn't it mean that I, the shopkeeper, rely on a pair of skins to attract customers, my task is to stand here, and I can't completely control my own expression." ”

Duan Jingcheng was furious when he heard this, what does this mean, it means that Tang Meng wants to pick a son as soon as he is not in Bai Lingchen?

Fortunately, before coming, Tang Meng had expected that Bai Lingchen would not cooperate honestly, so he taught Duan Jingcheng how to deal with him early, only to see Duan Jingcheng take out a small notebook from his arms in a huff, "Hand me the brush on the counter." ”

Bai Lingchen was stunned for a moment, but looking at Duan Jingcheng, who was unable to move, it was not easy to refuse, so he handed it to him indifferently, who knew that Duan Jingcheng took the pen and began to write under Bai Lingchen's nose: Bai Gongzi is lazy and astringent, and he doesn't work!

Bai Lingchen exploded when he saw it, snatched the booklet from Duan Jingcheng's hand at once, and asked, "What are you doing!" ”

"Show it to my brother and sister! My brother and sister said that as long as you don't listen to my command and don't work hard, let me write them down, and she will come back to you to settle accounts! Duan Jing replied confidently, and the choked Bai Lingchen couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

The two of them glared at each other like this, and no one easily succumbed, and in the end, Bai Lingchen tore off the piece of paper and crumpled it violently and threw it on the ground, "Okay!" Work right? I'll do it! ”

After saying that, he flew out of the Huamanlou with a flick of his robe, leaving Duan Jingcheng, who was dumbfounded and had not yet reacted, to stay in place, he blinked blankly and muttered, "What is he doing here......

Only the people around him silently swept the floor in response, Duan Jingcheng was completely helpless, thinking that if Bai Lingchen didn't come back for a while, delaying the opening of the business, he would go back to the palace directly to complain.

As everyone knows, at this time, Bai Lingchen was about to rush to the Spirit Pavilion with his light skills, his speed was even faster than usual, and it didn't take half an hour to come and go, but in this short period of time, he knew what to do next.

The cold wind was howling in Bai Lingchen's ears, and the words of the Pavilion Master seemed to be still in his ears, and he said, "I never thought of asking for Emperor Duan's dog's life, but I want him to watch the empire he has worked so hard to build destroy step by step, and in the face of the tragic death of his beloved woman, I will let him lose everything he has gained and cherished one by one, only in this way can I eliminate the resentment in my heart." ”

Bai Lingchen had already dispelled the idea of assassinating Emperor Duan, he hurried back to Nancheng and brought back a few powerful helpers in the Spirit Pavilion by the way, and he led the group to sneak into a garden quietly.

Soon after, when it was about to open, Bai Lingchen led the hired people to stand at the door of the Huamanlou without a trace of breath.

"Where have you been! So long to come back! Duan Jingcheng was naturally angry when he saw him, but Bai Lingchen didn't seem to be in a hurry.

He waved his hand unhurriedly, "Just put it at the door, one row horizontally over there, and two rows vertically at the door." ”

Bai Lingchen raised his eyebrows and dealt with Duan Jingcheng after taking care of his own command, "Didn't I go to work, you see that it is not bad that I have brought so many green plants in this cold winter." ”
