There are already carriages waiting when they leave the gate, and the people who drive them are still noble.

Ling Niankong finally let go of the hand that was around my waist, but before I could catch my breath, he took my hand very naturally. His hands were warm and strong, and he wouldn't allow me to break free.

Quan Gui on the side was stunned when he saw this, and then as if he was afraid of something, he immediately returned to normal.

Ling Niankong stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage, turned around and said, "Be careful of your step." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and subconsciously raised my eyes to look at him, just as I was bumping into his clear watery eyes. And what ripples in it is not the coldness that makes people chill all over the body, not the ridicule of strategizing, but the unguarded sincerity. I've never seen him look like this, not even when he was poisoned and thought of me as his original owner. I was a little stunned, but I didn't ignore the fact that he said "watch your step" in a gentle tone.

Seeing that I was stunned, he seemed to smile, held my arm, and with a little force, took me into the car.

Sitting in the car, I couldn't help but look at him, but he was leaning against the wall of the car and pretending to sleep.

"Where are you taking me?"

Since I couldn't guess his intentions, I asked bluntly, saving him from having to count the money for him if he sold him.

"East City." His eyes were still half-squinted, and his voice was soft, sounding a little tired.

Why did he suddenly want to take me to East City? What exactly does he want to do? "Ling Niankong, what are you going to do, please tell me directly."

He smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." He said this in a tone of utter helplessness, and my heart trembled uncontrollably when I heard it.

He must have something to do today.

******

The carriage came to a slow halt after about a quarter of an hour. Outside the car, there was a respectful voice: "Master, it's here." ”

Ling Niankong slowly opened his eyes, got up and lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage. I stepped out of the carriage, but saw the last rays of daylight disappear behind the houses in the distance.

I lowered my head, struggled to lift the heavy cotton robe, just about to get out of the car, but I only felt a lightness, and when I came back to my senses, I was already standing on the ground, but the person was still in Ling Niankong's arms.

He's going to carry me out of the car!?

He let go of me and walked towards the place where the shops in Higashi were congregating, but I was stunned.

He walked a few steps, and when he saw that I hadn't followed, he turned back again.

"What's wrong?" His tone was light, with a hint of concern.

Seeing that I did not answer, he held out his hand to me. "Let's go." There seemed to be a smile in his words.

Looking at his outstretched hand, my heart tightened and I took two steps back.

Ling Niankong, what exactly do you want to do? These days, I have reminded myself over and over again that I want to remove you from my heart and force myself not to think about the two months I spent with you in Lingxiu Mountain. Over and over again, I replayed in my head the way you grabbed my neck and gnashed your teeth at me...... I'm finally going to succeed, why do you have to change your attitude at this time?

Seeing me like this, he said helplessly: "Yifeng is away from the old customs, today is the Zhaoyuan Festival." He didn't care whether I was listening attentively or not, he just said to himself: "Seventeen years ago, the master got a hexagram and calculated that Fengli would give birth to the chosen son of the royal family. The so-called chosen son is a person who can influence the general trend of the world in the future. Seventeen years ago today, on the first day of the 22nd lunar month of the old calendar, the Chosen Son was born at sunrise, hence the name 'Zhaoran'. Fengli Emperor Longyan Dayue, thinking that Fengli's society is safe for thousands of years, so he amnesty the world, and set up a special Zhaoyuan Festival, implying that Fengli Guozuo is as clear as the sun. At this point, his voice was a little lower: "Since then, every Zhaoyuan, the day does not kill, and the night does not close the market." Even death row inmates in prison cells have to eat a bowl of hot soup. Although Fengli is broken, the customs have remained......"

I looked up at him, and I wondered what he meant by telling me this. He stubbornly took my hand, looked into my eyes and said gently: "Only today, you and I, abandon the past suspicions, forget the way we came, just meet in Pingshui and spend the festival together?" ”

I don't know what the festival means to him, but the sincerity in his eyes doesn't seem to be fake. Suddenly, it occurred to me that even Xiao Jifeng, who seemed to be of the same heart as him, had different intentions towards him, but he was afraid that he was really alone and could not find someone to spend the festival with. But would a person of his heart care about such details? Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't bear to refuse him. It's better to follow what he said, don't ask about the past, and spend the festival together.

Seeing that my complexion softened, he took my hand in his palm and whispered in my ear, "Come with me." ”

I was led by him through the crowd. There are a lot of people on the street, and they are shoulder to shoulder. He held my hand tightly, as if he were going to be separated from me. His palms were a little rough, and I knew it was from his years of using his sword. His hands were warm, like the warm winter sun, covering my cold hands.

I followed him like this, and he occasionally looked back at me, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. When I walked to a crowded place, he would stretch out his arm to stop my shoulder and block the push and shove of the people around me. When the crowd had eased a bit, he took my hand again and moved on......

For a moment I was in a trance. The crowd of people, the noisy voices, the dazzling lights and candles, the starlight, and the moonlight all disappeared at this moment, and only he was holding my hand. At this moment, only he was left in my eyes.

He stopped in front of a shop and smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect it to be so lively today, do you have something?" ”

I shook my head, feeling that he was too unreal at the moment.

At this moment, a slightly embarrassed female voice came from the store: "Shen Gongzi, it's not that I don't want to sell this hairpin, it's that I really can't sell it!" ”

I looked into the store with a little curiosity, but I found that the woman who was talking had a relationship with me. I remember when I was still in Lingxiu Mountain, I went to this East Market once, and I also bought a few women's dresses in a shop called Xianyunfang. Isn't this woman in front of her the proprietress of the Slender Cloud Workshop?

It turned out that Ling Niankong brought me to this shop again.

The proprietress faced the direction of the shop and talked to the person in front of her. The man was quite tall, but his figure was thin, and he was dressed in red, with clusters of peony flowers outlined with silver threads on his clothes, which was extremely gorgeous.

"Why can't it be sold? Could it be that you are worried that Ben Gongzi will not be able to afford it? ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Gongzi was not only dressed ostentatiously, but his voice was also extremely charming, and a little uninhibited, but he couldn't hear any traces of his tone. Could it be that this person is born like this? If that's the case, then he's a natural demon! It's just that I don't know what kind of face he was born with.

But when the proprietress heard this, there was no discoloration on her face, obviously she had long been accustomed to his bewildering timbre.

"Shen Gongzi, what are you talking about? Who doesn't know the name of Shen Fengyue and Shen Gongzi who left the country in the north. You are the minister of His Majesty the Emperor of the North, how can you afford to offend the small shop? It's just that this hairpin was set in advance by a distinguished guest, and it really can't be sold to you! Although the proprietress was flattering, her tone was resolute.

Shen Gongzi was extremely displeased when he heard this, and said coldly: "Where is your distinguished guest?" Let him reason with me! ”

"Here."

I was stunned when I heard this, because the voice was coming from the mouth of Ling Niankong beside me.

With a tightening of my wrist, Ling Niankong pulled me into the store.

Shen Gongzi, who was dressed in bewitching red, turned to look at the two of us when he heard this. The hem of his red robe was quite wide, and as he turned around, it turned out to be a beautiful arc.

What would such a person look like? Unable to suppress my curiosity, I looked at his face, but I froze for a moment when I saw him, and I forgot to breathe.

It's beautiful!

The person in front of him did not have his hair tied, but he did not look messy at all. The two strands of green silk on his forehead naturally hung down, and they happened to pass over the tails of his slightly raised eyes, connecting with his eyelashes. A pair of peach blossom eyes are like a deep lake full of stars and moon shadows, sparkling, slightly blurred, as if drunk but not drunk. The bridge of the nose is high and narrow. A pair of thin lips are slightly pursed, the lip line is distinct, and the lip flap is as if it has been dotted with a mouth, flushed with pink......

This, this, this...... This turned out to be a man's face!? But that's beautiful, isn't it? If he dresses up as a woman, I'm afraid he will not only confuse the real with the fake, but even compare many women!

I was stunned.

The red-clothed Shen Gongzi turned around, his eyes turned to Ling Niankong, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he said: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Ling Niankong Ling Commander, it's really ......" He paused and turned to look at me. The moment the eyes met, what I saw in his eyes was watery tenderness.

He looked me in the eye and spat out the last words that had just been unspoken: "Long time no see." ”

My heart pounded, and for some reason I thought his eyes were familiar.

"It's been a long time." Ling Niankong saw that Shen Fengyue's eyes had been stopping at me, and he stepped forward a few steps to block me behind, and at the same time did not forget to add: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor Beili sent an envoy to Beijing, and I guessed that it was Shen Gongzi, I don't know if Shen Gongzi is still used to living in Shengjing City?" ”

Shen Fengyue chuckled. "How can I not get used to traveling in all directions for half of the year? But ......" he lengthened his voice, bypassed Ling Niankong, paced in front of me and continued: "Commander Ling has this woman by his side, but Shen is not used to it. His tone was flirtatious, but his eyes were soft when he looked at me.

Ling Niankong looked back sideways, and there seemed to be displeasure on his face.

And this Shen Fengyue is also a master who is not afraid of things, so he actually stepped forward and got closer to me.

"This little lady is indeed ugly, but since she can lead her side......" he paused and thought about it. Presumably, under this skin, there must be a proud demeanor. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, did this Shen Fengyue just say it casually, or did he see that I didn't show my true face?
