Lu Li arranged for a secret guard to protect Su Xiaoman, locked the cabin door tightly, and ordered Pearl to take care of Su Xiaoman, so as not to disturb her with the sound of fighting.

A group of black-clothed people on the deck held swords and fought against the guards, and a black-clothed man who took the lead pointed directly at Lu Li's throat, bravely stepped forward and stabbed him, Lu Li turned around, hung upside down with a golden hook kick to avoid the long sword, and the reverse kick hit the jaw of the black-clothed man, and the black-clothed man stumbled and almost fell into the water.

"Give it to me!"

Seeing the situation, the man in black gave an order, and fought directly on the deck, and in half an instant, half of the men in black fell to the ground one after another, but the guards were unscathed, and Lu Li crushed the man in black directly under his feet with a roundabout kick, pointing his sword at the throat of the man in black.

"Are you still fighting?"

Lu Li's cold words and gloomy eyes looked at the man in black.

When the man in black saw the corpses on the deck, he instantly lost the momentum he had just now, but he couldn't live alone, and instantly bit the poison on the tip of his teeth, and looked at it with poison.

The remaining men in black took poison one after another and fell into the water.

There was no time to ask, and all the men in black died.

Lu Li put away his long sword, walked to the cabin, and the secret guard waited at the door of the cabin, Lu Li said with a serious expression: "Go and find out who did it immediately, start with the water bandits just now!" ”

"Yes!"

The Dark Guard received the order to leap out of the window.

Lu Li returned to the deck, cleaned up the guards, and strictly ordered: "Don't let Madame know about tonight's incident, now dispose of the body immediately, remember to clean it up!" ”

The guards responded in unison: "Obey!" ”

The bow of the boat was wandering in the waves, Su Xiaoman slept as if he was in the cradle, sleeping surprisingly peacefully, and did not hear the slightest noise, the man in black appeared yesterday and did not inform Su Xiaoman, for fear that she would not be able to play happily and affect her mood.

When the ship arrived at the south of the Yangtze River, it was already the unitary time, according to the rules of the Canglan country, the unitary time was over, basically the good family rested, except for the Qinlou Chu Pavilion Goulan Washe would sing every night, basically the good guys had already collected the shop, but Jiangnan did not belong to the jurisdiction of the Canglan country.

But the south of the Yangtze River is still flourishing at this time, and the lights are red, the wine and the warblers are singing and dancing very lively.

Pearl looked at the scene in front of her happily, and pulled Su Xiaoman with a joyful expression: "County Lord, look, this place is really beautiful, Jiangnan is still a prosperous scene at this hour!" ”

Su Xiaoman coughed lightly and said, "Pearl, call me Mrs. when you go out, it's better not to reveal your identity!" ”

"Yes!"

Pearl pursed her mouth and replied, in fact, she didn't understand why she had to hide her identity and show that she wouldn't be treated better.

Lu Li looked at Su Xiao with joy in his eyes, thinking that she was already in a better mood, and the group chartered the famous Grand Hyatt Inn in Jiangnan, in order to prevent the thieves from poisoning again, Lu Li also brought his own cook.

"Ouch, hahaha, Master Lu, you're here!"

The owner of the Grand Hyatt Inn greeted Su Xiaoman and Lu Li with hippie eyes, bent down respectfully to greet the rich gold owner, and even called out the wife of the family to entertain him.

The innkeeper saw Su Xiaoman's brocade clothes and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Madame's long-distance travel is hard!" ”

Su Xiaoman responded politely: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Xiao Er wanted to step forward to help take the luggage to the side room, but the guard held a sword to block him, Xiao Er had to run back to the shopkeeper helplessly, looking at the shopkeeper with an aggrieved look.

Lu Li gave an order: "It's okay, let him help take it!" You have also worked hard recently, and this trip should also reward your hard work, prepare good wine and good food tonight to comfort the brothers! ”

The guards shouted, "Good! Good! Thank you, sir! ”

The cook and the cook girls completely occupied the kitchen of the inn, and they started to prepare dinner neatly, and after setting up the house, Su Xiaoman also went to the kitchen on a special trip, and saw that the cook girls were testing the food with silver needles, only to see the proprietress watching their actions helplessly and strangely.

"Ouch, how can there be any poison in my little inn, Madame can eat it with confidence!"

The proprietress hurriedly stepped forward and complained respectfully to Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman replied with a smile: "Boss, we have seen a lot of things outside, please don't be strange to the boss!" ”

Seeing Su Xiaoman so polite, the proprietress stopped talking.

"Young master, don't run away!"

Lu Wangshu was happily bouncing in the inn at this time, shaking the flower drum in his hand vigorously, and bumped into Su Xiaoman who came out of the kitchen, and Grandma Pan, who was waiting for Lu Wangshu, was chasing him panting behind him.

Su Xiaoman squatted down and smiled: "Wangshu, are you not well-behaved again?" Look at you, you can't breathe out of Pan's tired breath! ”

Lu Wangshu looked up at Su Xiaoman, and said in a milky voice: "Auntie, that's Grandma Pan is old, you can just give me a new young maid!" ”

Lu Li stepped forward and knocked a sugar-fried chestnut on Lu Wangshu's pink little head, and said with a serious expression: "Is that going to let Daddy change his son?" ”

Lu Wangshu, who was angry with these words, stomped his feet, and hurriedly hugged Su Xiaoman and said coquettishly: "Auntie, you see that Daddy is bullying me again, you have to be the master for your son!" ”

The little man spoke like an adult, which made the people around him laugh.

The cook Zhang Grandma arranged the banquet, the servants and maidservants were respectfully serving on the side, Su Xiaoman and Lu Li sat on the chairman, and Lu Wangshu sat on Su Xiaoman's side.

Su Xiaoman smiled kindly: "Everyone sit, you don't have to follow those at home outside, let's eat together as a family!" ”

Everyone happily entered the table, after a dinner, the prosperity of the Jiangnan market is still the same, and the people here seem to be living here tirelessly, whether it is cultural customs or cultural anecdotes, it is very relaxing.

The fatigue of the boat and car made Lu Wangshu start to feel sleepy at the dinner table, and he finished the bowl of rice in front of him blindfolded, and his little head shook and shook, which was very cute.

"Grandma Pan, you take Wangshu to sleep first!"

Grandma Pan stepped forward and bent down, and reported Lu Wangshu to the wing.

Pearl's face was full of surprise, leaning over Su Xiaoman's ear and said, "Madam, I heard the proprietress of this inn say that there seems to be some kind of lantern festival going on here, do you want to go shopping?" ”

Su Xiaoman raised his eyes and looked at her and smiled: "It's not that I'm going to go shopping, but you want to go!" ”

A word probed the thoughts in Pearl's heart, and instantly made her face flush: "Madam, you haven't come out with the master for a long time, isn't this creating an opportunity for you and the master!" ”

Su Xiaoman looked sideways at Lu Li, who was drinking with the guards, turned his head to Pearl and said, "You! Thinking about something in his head, I think he's probably going to get drunk tonight, it's rare to let him be so relaxed, I won't let him accompany him, let's go! ”

Saying that, Su Xiaoman got up and walked to Lu Li: "Husband, I want to go out with Pearl, you drink less!" ”

Lu Li immediately vetoed Su Xiaoman: "No, no, no, Mrs. and Pearl are traveling, and I don't worry about my husband, so Mrs. will wait for me for a while!" ”

Saying that, he ordered the guards, got up and went out with Su Xiaoman, the inn left most of the guards to take care of it, Lu Li only brought four guards to go with him, and took Su Xiaoman to the Lantern Festival to enjoy the lanterns.

Jiangnan is located between the mountains and rivers, a small river runs through the whole Jiangnan, even the main curtain of the lantern festival is placed on the lantern boat, the lights are bright, walking on the road in the south of the Yangtze River, there are vendors selling lanterns everywhere, shouting how wonderful their own lanterns are.

"Have you heard, this year's Lantern Festival is not only out of Master Huang's family, it is said that the prince of the dynasty also participated in it!"

"I've heard that the prince is the younger brother of the saint today, and he is handsome!"

"This year's Lantern Festival is full of shows, I don't know which of the two will win the jackpot!"

Listening to the discussions of passers-by along the way, Su Xiaoman was interested, and it was only half an hour's walk from the inn to the Lantern Festival.

The warbler song and swallow dance on the light boat is very wonderful, standing on the covered bridge, Lu Li helped Su Xiaoman to look at the light scene in front of him, the people on the boat danced gracefully, and the two places on the covered bridge were respectively placed with elegant seats, the family of Huang Zhihua, the richest man in Jiangnan sitting on the left, and the brother Wei Yuan sitting on the pilgrimage on the right.

"Husband, who do you think will win the lantern festival?"

Su Xiaoman asked him jokingly, but Lu Li shook his head: "The performances at this lantern festival have their own style, it depends on how others look at it!" ”

The dancers on the ship retreated after the performance, and one of them, who looked like the principal, walked out of the cabin, holding paperwork and other things in his hand, and shouted loudly on the boat: "The lantern festival performance is over, please vote!" ”

As he spoke, he saw a dozen servants holding baskets in their hands, walking towards the crowd one after another, throwing the flowers in their hands into the basket one by one, and in half an hour, the servants handed the flowers they had received to the chief count.

The chief priest shouted for a long time: "It is ...... who won the jackpot at the Lantern Festival."

The voice dragged on for a long time, and everyone looked forward to the announcement of the people on the boat, and even Wei Yuan got up and stood in front of the elegant seat, which provoked all the women to scream.

When I looked closely, he was really handsome and extraordinary.

Pearl suddenly spoke: "No wonder those people say that this prince is handsome, he is really handsome at this glance!" ”

Su Xiaoman's eyes signaled to Pearl and asked her to be reserved, and Pearl immediately closed her lips and didn't dare to say anything more.

"The winner of this year's Lantern Festival is Wei Wangfu!"

Sure enough, the handsome one will still be loved by many people, after all, the thing of appearance is indeed more popular with people.

Su Xiaoman smiled: "Look at this lantern, it should be Huangfu to win the first place!" However, the world judges people by their appearance, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

He shook his head helplessly.

happened to be heard by Huang Yueyang, the young owner of the Huang Mansion who passed the covered bridge.

"Madame's really good eyesight!"

Su Xiaoman turned his head to look at him in astonishment, wearing a gorgeous dress with Hetian jade on his waist, wearing a jade crown, looking delicate, talking differently from ordinary people, and revealing a literati atmosphere between his eyebrows.
