Ruyi didn't think about it, Linghu Yuan can go around like this, and it will take most of the day to walk. Fortunately, this body is much stronger now, and I don't feel tired.

The two walked along the lake to the flowers, and from the flowers to the rockery, and from the rockery to the covered bridge. When Ling Huyuan still wanted to turn back to the lake from the covered bridge, Ruyi finally couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go back." It's still a little cold after a long time. ”

"I didn't think it through, I forgot to get a cloak." Ling Huyuan thought for a while and said.

Ruyi secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that if there is a cloak, it will keep turning, and the world will be desolate?

The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is getting dark.

Ruyi pulled Linghu out of the palace to visit the night market in Linzi City.

The night market in Linzi City is probably also the earliest night market in history, how to describe it as prosperous. The traffic is busy, the river is endless, and the lights of thousands of homes are bright and brilliant. The crowd was bustling and the vendors were shouting and selling.

"It seems that the prosperity of Linzi City is really not comparable to Anyi City, and it is no wonder that the king wants to move the capital, and probably the Wei State can match it." Ling Huyuan said with emotion.

"Where is this, I've seen anything more prosperous than this." Ruyi suddenly recalled the lively night market in modern times, when she and Ye Mi would meet to go to the night market on weekends to relieve stress.

"What could be more prosperous than this? I haven't heard of it in the vassal states. Ling Huyuan pondered.

Ruyi almost missed his mouth when he saw it, and quickly remedied: "Haha, I saw it in a dream." ”

When Ling Huyuan heard this, he said softly: "I hope you and I can see the peaceful and prosperous world in your dreams." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

When the two of them walked down the street, they only heard the tea shop in front of them being very lively. The hustle and bustle of cheering continued. The two of them walked in only to see a storyteller, his voice was quite loud, and the surroundings were full of people.

"I just said that the Zhao State attacked Zhen Cheng that day, and without saying a word, Dr. Ah Cheng personally led all the personal guards to rush to the aid and annihilated the Zhao army in one fell swoop, so that the people were saved from the suffering of war." The storyteller's mouth is like a river, and his mouth is foaming, and it is called a skyrocket.

Some of the people below applauded, and some disagreed.

The storyteller continued: "Besides, Dr. Jimo only knows how to drink and have fun every day, regardless of the suffering of the people, the people's livelihood, and the countless refugees of the disaster......"

Before the storyteller finished speaking, someone below retorted, "Have you been to Jimo?" We are rich and healthy, which is what you said. ”

Where does the storyteller care, continue to speak. The man couldn't listen anymore and left with his glass.

Ruyi sat at the square table but listened with relish, sipping melon seeds while beckoning Xiao Er to continue tea.

Ling Huyuan asked with some curiosity, "How can you listen to him so interested, knowing that he is exaggerating?" ”

Ruyi put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, "Be quiet, don't startle the snake." ”

Sure enough, there were eyes around them, and both of them stopped talking and listened intently. In fact, there is nothing new in the storyteller, it is nothing more than singing praises to Dr. Acheng, and belittling Dr. Jimo by the way.

When the storyteller finally finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and got up and walked out. The surrounding officials left.

Ruyi put the money on the table and pulled Ling Huyuan out of the threshold of the tea shop with a brisk step. The storyteller hurried into an alley to the right of the tea shop. Ling Huyuan immediately understood, and quietly followed, only to see a carriage parked in the alley, through the carriage curtain the storyteller nodded and didn't know what to say, and then stretched out a pair of white and slender hands from the curtain and threw a bag of money to the storyteller.

When the carriage was far away, Ruyi sneered, "That is, the victory lies in the underdevelopment of news dissemination." ”

Ling Huyuan looked at the carriage that was walking away, but frowned slightly.

"It seems that Qi Guo has also been in chaos recently, you have to be careful, don't mess around." Ling Huyuan looked at Ruyi and said.

Ruyi smiled and replied, "I see." Let's go to the front. ”

The two of them returned to the main street and continued to stroll. The cries of hawkers come and go, with a strong atmosphere of life.

After walking not far, Ling Huyuan saw that the carriage not far away was a little familiar, as if it was the one in the alley just now, and he hadn't waited for him to confirm it.

Ruyi felt like someone had bumped into him. There are a lot of people in the market, and it's normal to be bumped, but it's not normal to be missing something. Ruyi touched his waist and looked at Ling Huyuan and said, "I lost my wallet." Ruyi quickly touched the purse containing the spar again, but fortunately it was still there.

"I'll help you chase it, don't go far around there." After Ling Huyuan finished speaking, he got up and chased after him.

Ruyi just wanted to say forget it, and told Linghu to stop chasing. Linghu Yuan has long since disappeared.

Ruyi had to stroll into the shop next to him and wait for Ling Huyuan. I entered a shop that sold jewelry. When the shopkeeper saw someone entering the door, he immediately came out to greet him enthusiastically.

"What do you need, girl? Small shops have everything. Gold hairpins and silver bracelets, collar jewelry, gems and jade pendants, only the girl can't think of it, no store can't buy. Xiao Erkou introduced it neatly.

"Busy with you, I'll take a look." Ruyi said casually.

Xiao Er's willingness to let go of this opportunity to make a big deal, "If the girl is not satisfied with the things here, she can move to the back hall, there are good goods in the back." ”

Ruyi was a little curious, a jewelry shop didn't know what treasures would be hidden, so he nodded and followed Xiao Er to the back hall.

Entering the back hall, the Duobao Pavilion facing the entrance does have a lot of good things on display. The egg-sized night pearl of the East China Sea, the white jade flower carving ornaments of Tianshan Mountain, as well as two bronze ornaments with silver wings and two bronze ornaments in the shape of a mountain, etc.

It's just that there seems to be a person sitting behind the screen on the right.

"There are still customers in the store, so I won't bother much." Ruyi said that he was about to exit the back hall.

The shopkeeper didn't speak, but the person behind the screen opened his mouth first, and a lazy male voice said, "Doesn't the girl want to appreciate my treasures?" ”

Ruyi paused when he heard this, this voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it not long ago. Ruyi turned around and looked at the person behind the screen through the screen before stepping forward and turning the screen. Xiao Er quickly exited the back hall and closed the door.

I saw a man behind the screen holding a teapot to fill the teacup on the opposite side, and then put the teapot on the small red clay stove to boil, before turning his head, a pair of Danfeng eyes looked at Ruyi with expectation.

Ruyi didn't expect that the person inside would be Xu Gong.

"Girl, don't sit down and taste the tea I cooked myself." Xu Gong still said lazily.

Ruyi sat down on the opposite side unceremoniously, "Duke Xu took great pains to invite me here, I don't know what to do with me?" ”

"The girl is a cheerful person." Xu Gong raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruyi with an appreciative expression.

"Or else? This shop is yours, your people inside and out, I am for the fish and you are the sword. What if you're not happy? Ruyi said unhurriedly.

"Actually, it's not a big deal to find the girl, I know that the girl has been looking for evidence recently, as for what evidence to find, you know and I know. I can give the girl proof, but I need a commitment from the girl. ”

"What promise?"

"Not now, but in the future I need a request." Xu Gong said slowly.

Ruyi quietly weighed in his heart, this Xu Gong is afraid that it is not simple, and he is afraid that a request is not simple.

"It's a bit of a illusory deal. The scope of this request is too broad. ”

"Rest assured that it is not a matter of murder and arson, nor will it affect the political situation of the court."

"Okay, I promise you."

"See you in the plum room on the second floor of Yingge Fang at dusk tomorrow night." This time, Xu Gong was also refreshing, and quickly threw out the time and place.

Ruyi nodded in knowledge and got up to leave.

The "gurgling" tea on the small red clay stove was boiling, and the whole room was warm, and Xu Gong resumed his lazy voice, "Girl, really don't taste the tea I brewed?" ”

Ruyi looked down at a pair of white and slender hands, lightly holding the handle of the pot and pouring himself a cup, very elegant.

Ruyi came out of the jewelry store and saw Qingmo standing at the door waiting for him.

"Girl, the general is waiting for you in front." Qingmo said respectfully.

Ruyi followed Qingmo to a wine shop, the wine and food had been arranged, and he waited for someone to enjoy a table of deliciousness.

Ruyi smiled and sat aside, "You are in a trance, I almost believed it." ”

"How? Is it negotiated? Ling Huyuan also said with a smile.

"You've seen that, haven't you?" Ruyi looked at Ling Huyuan with crooked eyebrows.

Qingmo listened to the conversation between the two in the clouds, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" ”

Ling Huyuan said: "I was a little earlier than you, and when I chased out, the thief was gone." The horse-drawn carriage parked on the side of the road was also gone. I'll let Qingmo stay to protect you, and if you don't come out of the tea time, I'll go in and arrest someone. ”

"Yes, the whole game was set up for me, and he took great pains." Ruyi said with a wry smile.

"Come on, eat and chat, his barbecue is very famous, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the dipping sauce is also prepared with an exclusive secret recipe." Linghu Yuan sandwiched a chopstick barbecue and put it in the Ruyi bowl.

Ruyi tasted a bite and it was indeed delicious, and then said a little vaguely, "You just came here and understood the special delicacy of our Qi country so clearly." ”

"It's not, it's just that Xiao Er will introduce you when I'm waiting for you. I think it's beautiful, but it's lacking in meaning. ”

"And what's the best barbecue you've ever had?"

"In the wilderness, the west wind is cold and the moon is half-hanging, sitting on the ground around the campfire, venison roasted on the fire, drinking strong wine in large bowls, guessing the fist order, a tumult, eating meat in large pieces, drinking in large gulps, wine to the heart, a long howl."

"It's really heroic, it's probably a kind of atmosphere."

"Yes, that was the first time I joined the army to fight with my father, and after more than a month of hard fighting, I finally repelled the enemy. We celebrated by hunting deer that night. At that time, I was so young, I thought that the battlefield, blood, loyalty and patriotism were all there was to this life. Linghu Yuan picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink it all.

Ruyi took a sip and said with a smile, "Life doesn't come to the end, you will never know what it is all, this is also the joy of life, full of unknowns and uncertainties." ”
