When night fell, the whole city began to celebrate, very lively, as if it was going to be a festival.

Qi Lianyu has always been guarding against Wanrou, trying her best to separate her from Bai Yulan by a person, Wanrou still maintained her gentle and faint smile, without the slightest change, on the other hand, Qi Lianyu's face was ugly, as if she was always ready to draw a line and want to duel.

"Madam Bai, there is a Hu man in front of him, there are a lot of strange things from the Western Regions on the stall, do you want to take a look?" Wan Rou said softly on the side: "Madame must be a person who has seen the world, and she must have seen a lot of rare treasures, but I think these folk gadgets may be a little more interesting." ”

Seeing that Wanrou was trying her best to sell it to her, she had a rare idea of something different and wanted to take a look.

Qi Lianyu was still a little dissatisfied on the side, but it was also resolved by Bai Yulan Qingyi, she smiled and said: "It's just to take a look, but it's not a big deal." ”

Since Bai Yulan had expressed such a strong demand and wanted to go, Qi Lianyu naturally couldn't stop her anymore.

Some of the gadgets placed in front of this Huren hawker's stall, some of them were even seen by him, when he was a child, he used to play with some, after all, the Northern Xinjiang and the Western Regions are quite close, sometimes the merchants of the Western Regions pass by, and his father once asked people to bring a little strange things back to the Qilian family.

"This is all children's toys." Qi Lianyu said faintly on the side: "There's nothing to see." ”

"Maybe it's because it's a child's toy that the lady likes it more?" Wan Rou retorted: "Besides, even if you are getting older now, it is not strange that you like some strange gadgets, right?" ”

Her black and white eyes seemed to be a little deeper in his eyes, so she looked at him directly, and said, "Madame happens to have a heart that never grows old, don't you say?" ”

Qi Lianyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for no reason, as if he had been caught by something, but he was still able to concentrate his energy to reply to Wanrou: "You don't have to use such words to praise her." ”

His voice was cold, just like the first time they met before, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Wanrou.

Just when these two people were secretly touching each other, Bai Yulan rummaged through the pile of stalls, and among the piles of jewelry and children's toys, she actually found a knife that was very pleasing to the eye.

The handle of this knife is inlaid with several gems, with a golden pattern made by fine slow work, three rubies on the handle, as if circled around something, and on the back handle of the knife, there is a blue gem, still exuding a faint brilliance, like a moon with a faint light under the moonlight.

The blade is bright and sharp, hidden sharp, slightly oblique, placed in front of your eyes, you can see your own face on the knife surface.

However, there is one thing, Bai Yulan is very strange, this delicate knife does not have a good-looking scabbard.

"The girl is really good-looking, this is what I got by chance in my early years, the person who gave the knife is a very powerful master, but for various reasons, this is hidden, so I gave this dagger to someone who is destined." The peddler shouted, "I've never put this knife on the surface of the stall as a vendor......

After a pause, he laughed: "Since I don't know why I suddenly put this dagger here, and let the girl find it in such a pile of dazzling things, I think it is very fate with the girl." ”

Qi Lianyu heard these words on the side, his expression was still not very pleasant, he frowned and said: "I remember that you have enough personal daggers, and now there are many of them that are no longer needed, you all put them in the cabinet and collect them." ”

He glanced at Bai Yulan and said, "If these daggers can't get a normal use, can't deal with enemies, can't kill people, then, I don't think it has any meaning to exist." ”

Bai Yulan was stunned by Ye Mingting's words, and was about to put down the dagger, but the running child suddenly hit her back, knocking her into a hand slip, this accident, the tip of the knife directly cut her fingertips, and blood.

"I think this dagger recognizes you." The Hu Ren merchant glanced at the dagger and said deeply: "It's better to give it directly to Madame." ”

Bai Yulan was stunned for a moment, looking at his description before, it seemed that the origin of this thing was not very simple, not to mention that it was given by a master, presumably this meaning was not extraordinary at all, and now looking at him so lightly, it seems that it is a dull thing to give her a dagger.

"But, wasn't that something that was given to you before?" Bai Yulan was surprised: "If I accept it directly, I will inevitably feel ashamed." ”

However, this Hu businessman was not such a petty person, and when he heard Bai Yulan's words, he did not waver in the slightest.

"I transport goods every year, from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and then to the Northern Xinjiang, through your beautiful mountains and rivers, but also seen the desert barren moon, high mountains and white snow, has been through so many places, and will not carry too many belongings, I think this dagger and my fate is probably over, it is better to give it to the destined person."

What he said made Bai Yulan very moved, and without even saying more, he took the dagger and thanked him: "Now that I brought it back, I will make it a better scabbard." ”

The owner of this dagger is a martial arts practitioner at first glance, not because of anything else, but because of the traces of wear on it, the blade is as sharp as ever, but on the pattern below, a slight wear can still be seen.

In this way, he must be a person who is quite accomplished in martial arts every day, and even often fights with others.

Even if Qi Lianyu stopped her softly, Bai Yulan still accepted it, she didn't know if Wanrou had other intentions in bringing her out today, but although she was vigilant, she still wanted this dagger.

Along the way, at the beginning of the lanterns, Qi Lianyu looked a little unhappy, looking so unhappy.

Bai Yulan knew in her heart that he must have accepted something from a Hu person she had never met for no reason, and she lacked vigilance, but he didn't speak, and she didn't know how to answer him.

On the long street where the figures were longing, they walked by, and Bai Yulan saw clearly that in this city, a lotus pond had also been built.

You must know that this outside is full of wind and sand, thousands of miles of desert, and it is not easy for a small city to survive in the cracks between green mountains and green trees and desert smoke, and it is really not easy to build a pond here.

Qi Lianyu was also a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his expression, and said: "This border city is a rich place, if there is a little bit of it that is not in place, there is no way to drain the living water here, and it can still keep the road unblocked, and build such a beautiful lotus pond." ”

Bai Yulan also looked at the pond intently, surrounded by some ordinary people, and some children, playing on the side of the pond, but they couldn't see the end at a glance.

When parents count their children to play and pay attention to safety, they are concerned and gentle between their eyebrows.

Children run through the streets with brilliant fireworks in their hands.

In modern terms, it's a bit of a park, where you can walk and chat with friends after dinner.

"At the beginning, the city lord once thought that this place was too boring, and there was a drought and lack of water, which made him feel very dry and uncomfortable, and there was no characteristic of the Jiangnan water town, so he built such a large pond here, which was originally just a pool, and later someone proposed to plant lotus flowers in it, which can make this place look better."

Wanrou gently explained to her in a hundred years.

"You haven't been here for long, but you know the things in this city very well." Bai Yulan suddenly said on the side.

Wanrou smiled lowly, her eyebrows and eyes looked very gentle, and when she looked up, she was full of gentle looks.

"It's just that because I know the people here very well, after sitting in the teahouse for a long time, I always hear a lot of short stories about the east and west, and I like to keep these stories in my heart, and then classify them into categories and make a memory of my own."

"The former city lord is a southerner, he is not suitable for life here, but it is very normal, there are always a lot of interesting things around these people, and there are many little secrets that no one knows." Wanrou said as her eyes almost lit up, and she was very excited about it.

Bai Yulan stood aside and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "Then how did you know?" ”

"Of course, someone else told me." Wanrou said with a natural face.

Although she said this, Bai Yulan was still not very convinced, and her first impression of her before was not very good, not to mention ...... Later, she repeatedly felt that her gaze was very strange, pouring on her body was like pouring a basin of hot iron on her, and even faintly dragging her thoughts.

Guide her to what to do.

Bai Yulan shook her head violently, shaking all these strange things in her mind, why did the more she thought about it, the more she felt so mysterious? She's not a believer in weird things.

Wanrou didn't speak to the two of her at this time, standing alone by the pool, her expression was slightly stunned, as if she was thinking about something, she was very distracted, this kind of empty feeling, Bai Yulan had felt it from her crimson before, but it was not as clear as the assassin.
