Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Adventures of the Festival of Lights

"Do you think this looks good?" For example, the snow wears a thin porcelain mask with a fox face, revealing only two eyes.

"Beautiful." I nodded, and Nata picked out her mask with interest.

Like a snow mask, he chose a silver half-side mask, and there was a bewitching butterfly at the end of his eyes. "I think it's nice to give it to you."

"Thank you." I held it in my hand, and she was already bouncing away.

Nata chose a mask similar to that of Ruxue, and smiled before putting it on, as if all the previous unpleasantness had not happened.

They walked to the edge of a crowded round platform, on which danced the dancing queens, the women on the stage with soft waists and long skirts swaying to the ground.

I looked at the private seat behind the round platform, separated by a tulle tent, where only one person sit, dressed in dark black brocade, with a mask of the same color, and long hair and a crown, who did not move.

"It was a good jump." Someone shouted.

Ruxue sighed and said silently: "Half of the mercy Wanyi can't reach it." ”

"This big brother, who is sitting behind the curtain?" I patted the excited man in front of me and asked.

He turned his head and hesitated, "You are not local, you don't even know this." ”

We looked at each other and didn't speak.

"The one sitting above is your lord, every year your lord is different, whoever bets the most money in this lantern festival is your lord. For them, money is not money, and there will be silver sprinklers for a while, and we are here mainly to grab silver. With that, he turned around and continued to cheer.

"These people on the stage were also invited by your lord?" Nata asked.

"No, these girls are the girls of Lanqingyuan here, they are all talents who are skilled and overwhelming, in fact, it sounds good, they are the chicks who have not budded, they work so hard to get the appreciation of your lord, and your lord will buy it at any cost, this heavy money may be enough for Lanqingyuan's expenses for a year." The big man patiently explained, and they listened to it with relish.

I looked up at the so-called lord again, because of the tulle and the mask, I could only see faintly, and I could feel his gaze, sharp and gloomy.

The dancing girl got off the stage, and a woman with a veil came up, and the little maid brought a Konghou, which was tied with a plain gauze belt at the top and flew in the wind.

It is very rare to see Konghou in Beiyan, and there are very few who can play it well, and there is a girl in Ningxianglou who can play Konghou, which is highly sought after by everyone.

"Little girl, Moyin is ugly." The voice is sweet and delicious.

Plucking the strings with his hands, the ethereal sound sounded, as faint as the birdsong of the hollow valley, and the sudden sharp sound overshadowed the quiet sound of the hollow valley, and like a galloping horse, the sound of horses' hooves stepping past.

In the end, a light note ended, and everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

To be honest, this girl plays really well, even the one in our Ning Xiang Building may not be able to compare.

"Moyin! Moyin! Moyin! The people below began to shout, one after the other.

"This woman is not small." Ruxue pretended to be a deep emotion.

Dahan smiled, "This Moyin girl is the signboard of Lan Qingyuan. Although it's just a chick, it's famous. ”

"What do you mean?" Nata spoke up.

Ruxue and I looked at each other, silent, and didn't know how to explain to her, so we could only be silent.

"Throw the money!" Someone shouted, and people crowded up, scattering me and Ruxue, without even having a chance to turn around.

I was pushed to the edge of the stage, and I wanted to climb up the stage, but I was almost squeezed to death on the edge by another violent wave.

They reached out to take the silver, and some of the broken silver fell on my head, and it hurt and hurt, and someone put their hand on my head to take it, and knocked my veil off, and before I could react, I was squeezed to the other side.

I was anxious, and I looked down for the veil, but I saw many feet.

"Quiet!" Someone on the stage shouted loudly, and everyone below was quiet.

The old bustard on the stage knelt respectfully to your lord's position and said, "What is your lord's choice?" ”

Two tulle maidens lifted the tent, and he walked out step by step, imposing, dark robes embroidered with gorgeous totems with gold thread.

"She." He stretched out his index finger, and everyone turned to look, and I turned my head, only to find that there was nothing behind me except a few farmers. Following the direction of his index finger, and then looking at the eyes of everyone, they were all projected on me.

"This ...... This girl is not our Lan Qing ......" Before the old bustard finished speaking, your lord clapped his hands, and there were a few more black-clothed men around us, all with green dragon totems tattooed on their necks.

"Take her away." Your lord gave an order, and the men in black surrounded him.

I was surprised, but I also knew that the situation was not good, so I put the mask that Snow had given me in my hand to cover the left half of my face. "Nata! Like snow! Come on! ”

I yelled, "Get to the carriage!" ”

Ruxue hasn't figured out the situation yet, but she also knows that something bad has happened, so she drags Nata and runs.

We ran wildly, but the men behind us gave chase to us, and when we got to the carriage, we were surrounded by a crowd.

"I don't know you, so why bother me?" I was trying to figure out how to stall for time while thinking of countermeasures.

But they were clearly well trained, didn't say a word, and approached step by step.

I leaned my back against Ruxue and whispered, "You get in the carriage and leave, I am the one they want to arrest, and I will go and lead them away." ”

Ruxue hurriedly said: "No, there are four of them, it's too dangerous." ”

"Nata is a princess, and it is related to the relationship between Mengguo and Beiyan, and you have an obligation to protect her. I can protect myself, don't worry, if I don't come back tomorrow afternoon, you can tell the emperor about it. After finishing speaking, I remembered that I had a dagger at my waist, which I had given me last time, and now it can come in handy.

"Su Jin......" Nata wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

"I think your lord is also a trustworthy person." I pushed Ruxue back and caught up with myself. "If you let go of my two friends, I'll go with you."

They stood still, and one of them nodded.

Ruxue's face was full of sorrow and hesitated for a long time, but she still took Nata and got into the carriage and watched the carriage gradually move away.

Turning back, one of them made a gesture of please.

The dagger in my hand is flying at my fingertips, how can I be worthy of being the young pavilion master of the Dark Night Pavilion without any skills.

The dagger was thrown out of the sky, streaking through a cold light. Kick the short back and kick the fallen dagger out with his toes.

The dagger stabbed in the air, and they dodged sideways, two of them slashed their arms with the dagger.

Taking advantage of their distraction, he leaped upwards, crossed their encirclement, and tried to run away from the place.

"Chase!"

Luo's skirt was too long, and it was inconvenient to move at all, so he had to tear off the lower section. I try to run as far as I can to the busy area, and the more people there are, the better my chances of escape.

Suddenly, their speed increased, and one of them grabbed my sleeve, with great force, and after several repetitions, they couldn't break free, and seeing that those people behind were about to catch up, they were in a hurry and shouted: "Forcing Liang to become a prostitute!" Help! ”

Originally, this was a lively urban area, and the eyes of the people looked at this side, and the person who grabbed me was a little embarrassed, and when he was unprepared, a knife slashed at his waist, and the man held his stomach in pain, and I walked out of the crowd.

I don't know if I'm not doing anything today, I really shouldn't be soft-hearted and follow Ruxue out.

A building appeared in front of him, the lantern was bright, and there were several scantily dressed women at the door soliciting guests, and in desperation, they climbed up to the green building and entered through the window on the second floor.

I guessed correctly, it is indeed a green building, men and women, warblers and swallows, red flowers and willow green, and the eyes are all those places where the women are naked [exposed].

However, after a while, the group of black-clothed men stepped into the Qinglou, and the momentum was violent.

"Eh, what are you doing!" The old bustard couldn't stop them at all, and the boys who came to the Qinglou fled in fright.

The door of a house next to me happened to be open, and I slipped in.

I don't know if Linzi Town is rich in tulle, here is also a layer of veil, peach and dark purple, luxurious and mysterious.

There was a woman who was stroking the harp at one end of the veil, with her eyes closed, and did not notice me coming in.

Quietly walked behind her, clicked on her sleeping hole, she fell softly, I gently put her on the ground, and was about to get up and close the door, when suddenly someone said: "Why don't you play?" ”

The timbre is sloppy, mixed with low and blurry.

Only then did I see a person sitting there on the other side of the veil drinking tea.

The veil was obscured, and I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I felt that the voice was familiar.

Sitting on a stool, his hands on the strings, the staccato sound sounded.

As he was playing, the man suddenly got up and walked this way, and I reached for the scissors on the side, and if he dared to scream out and expose me, I would have killed him.

A cold light flashed, and a powerful arrow passed through, and the man tore off the veil, and the veil seemed to have an aura, and wrapped the arrow into it, and he dragged me with one hand, which could be avoided.

The smell of tea is pervasive, and this embrace is also extremely familiar, looking up at his deep eyes that are as calm as water, it is Beiyu Jinchen.

"How are you?" There are thousands of doubts in my heart.

"Now is not the time to ask this." He looked at the door, where four big men in black were standing. "Who the hell have you provoked?" Beiyu Jinchen frowned.

"What do you mean?" I froze, and thought that now was not the time to dwell on this issue.

"People from Buyun Palace? It seems, it's a bit tricky. Beiyu Jinchen pulled me back a few steps, but there was still no trace of emotion on the surface.

Buyun Palace? I've heard of it, but I don't know about it.

"What should I do?" I asked him.

He looked down at me, the corners of his lips raised. "Run."

Beiyu Jinchen pushed open the window, grabbed me and jumped down, the wind in my ears whistled, and we landed steadily. "I thought you could fight ten with one."

He replied, "Then you're overestimating me." ”

He was running with one hand at a very fast speed, through the crowded streets, looking back at the panting chases, and suddenly felt funny, even though he was out of breath himself.

"It's strange that I can meet you everywhere." I muttered, but he heard me, and he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
