Chapter 1: Sixteen Years Later

Sixteen years later...

The high hall does not make walls, attracting winds from all sides. Blowing joy and opening clothes, moving Nong smiled.

May...

On the noisy street, a luxurious carriage was driving unhurriedly, and pedestrians all avoided it when they saw such a magnificent carriage, and they were all guessing who the people in the carriage were. The carriage drove to a teahouse and stopped, and the attendant said respectfully to the people in the carriage,

"Master, Tianjiang Tower has arrived"

Tianjiang Tower, a famous teahouse in Jiankang City, is also a place for the pastime of wealthy nobles.

After a while, a faint word came from the carriage, "En"

The attendant got a response, and quickly lifted the curtain, and then a young man dressed in purple, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome face, like a celestial man, came out of the carriage. The man in purple didn't care about this, and walked straight into the store, and the little two in the store nodded and hurriedly greeted him, and directly led a few people to the second floor.

At this time, in the box on the second floor, another handsome man in white had been waiting for a long time, and he had already seen the commotion outside.

As soon as he saw the person pushing the door in, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the Jianglou is here today, and I can't leave."

Listening to the movement downstairs, the man in purple couldn't help but wonder, "Chu Fan, don't make fun of me."

Sima Chufan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "If it weren't for someone guarding outside, I think this threshold would have been trampled on." I still remember last year when we swam in the lake together, and how many people fell into the river to see you."

Listening to the chatter of the people next to him, the man in purple sat aside, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it slowly, with a smile between his eyebrows.

Seeing that he didn't care, Sima Chufan hurriedly said, "Don't keep laughing."

"Then what should I do," he smiled.

"Tsk! Alas.... Sima Chufan was suddenly a little embarrassed by the joke, thought about it and said, "In this way, if you go out in the future to get a hat, a handkerchief or something, cover this face, and I will suffer with you every time I am in the province."

Gently put down the tea cup in his hand, the purple-clothed man's eyes were still full of smiles, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time"

Seeing him like this, Sima Chufan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, obviously he was only in his early twenties, and he was still a year younger than himself, but he always looked like he was at ease, and his heart was like water. thinks that he Sima Chufan is also a famous handsome son in Jiankang City, but in front of this person, he is still a little inferior.

"You go out to travel, and it's been half a year since you left, so you shouldn't leave this time when you go back to Jiankang."

The man in purple stood up, paced to the window and looked at the lively street outside, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I will go to Yangzhou in a few days and serve as the assassin of Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou Thorn History?" Sima Chufan was a little surprised, "Why haven't I heard the emperor mention it?"

"The court got a secret report that the current Yangzhou assassin was seriously corrupt and bribed, and the emperor ordered me to secretly go to investigate, collect criminal evidence, and remove the official position of the Yangzhou assassin."

Sima Chufan knocked on the folding fan in his hand for a while, and after thinking for a while, "The current Yangzhou assassin is high and mediocre, but the current emperor is a general in the old department, I'm afraid it is not easy to deal with."

The man in purple was still standing quietly in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking, but at this time he had an extra jade pendant in his hand and was playing with it.

"Yes... The corners of the man's mouth still have a smile, but the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes, which makes people shudder.

The street is still lively, noisy, full of people, two long and very iconic girls, shuttling through the crowd, attracting the attention of many passers-by. There were a few people not far behind them, and at this time, the boy in Tsing Yi shouted a little anxiously, "You two walk slowly, be careful to get separated."

Xiao Qingyue didn't seem to hear the shouts of the people behind her, and excitedly pulled the people next to her to look east and west. When she walked to a stall, she was instantly attracted by the dazzling array of pearl hairpin jewelry placed on it. She pulled the person next to her and said, "Youyu, look, these hairpins are so beautiful."

Xiao Youyu, who was looking east and west, was suddenly attracted by the things on the table.

"Do you have a favorite of the two young ladies, you can take a look, the price is not expensive," the vendor greeted enthusiastically.

Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but be a little dazzled, and after looking at it for a long time, she picked up one of the butterfly-patterned Zhu Hai and asked, "How much is the boss?"

"Miss is really good eyesight, this butterfly is the only one, only one or two silver"

"One or two?!" Xiao Qingyue exclaimed, she felt that it was a little expensive, and Mama Jiang in her mother's palace only had one or two a month's salary.

Xiao Youyu on the side saw at a glance what the person next to her was thinking, and then she asked softly, "Boss, can it be cheaper" After speaking, both of them stared at the vendor.

The peddler couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he had never been stared at like this by such a peugeot girl, and then he said, "Okay, okay, in this way, you see if there is anything you like, pick another one, I'll count you one or two, it's all right."

When the two of them heard him say this, they immediately raised their eyebrows, and said again and again, "Thank you, boss"

"It's only one or two silver, look at what makes you happy" The young man in Tsing Yi behind him looked at the two people who were dancing, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, not to mention one or two, even if it was a hundred taels, as long as it was what Xiao Qingyue wanted, there would always be someone to satisfy her.

After paying, Xiao Qingyue still couldn't hide her excitement, and after looking at the Zhu Hai for a long time, she gently inserted Zhu Hai into Xiao Youyu's bun on the side.

Xiao Youyu couldn't help but pause...

The girl smiled happily and asked the man on the side, "Brother Yin, what do you think, is it very good-looking?"

"Well, it's good-looking" Yin Jun doted on the smiling girl like a big brother.

"For me?" Xiao Youyu asked a little uncertainly, she could see that Xiao Qingyue obviously liked this Zhu Hai very much.

"Well, don't you like butterflies, as soon as I saw this Zhu Hai, I thought of you, how is it, do you like it?"

Xiao Youyu nodded again and again, "Well, I like it," she said happily touching her hair bun.

"This one, I'm going to take it back to the hosta, she will definitely be very happy" said, she carefully wiped the other hairpin in her hand, thinking about finding a box to put it in, and then give it to Xiao Yujia.

Yin Jun looked at the sparse crowd and said, "Okay, it's almost time to play, we should go back too, if we don't go back, the master should be worried."

As soon as the 'master' was mentioned, the two who were still happy suddenly drooped their faces, Xiao Qingyue pouted helplessly, "Okay then" Anyway, there will be a chance to come out again in the future, thinking of this, those Xu losses were also swept away...

She is a person who is very easy to satisfy, this time out of the palace Xiao Yan agreed to let her take Xiao Youyu out together, she was already very happy...

When the group walked to the vicinity of Tianjiang Tower, they found that the crowd was surging and the crowding was abnormal. Xiao Qingyue was escorted to walk in the crowd, and she asked suspiciously, "Brother Yin, what is the festival today, there are so many people?"

Yin Jun was also confused, and after watching it for a long time, he said, "I don't know either."

Just when a few people were puzzled, in the crowd, I don't know who shouted, "Catch the thief"

Instantly, the already crowded crowd became even more crowded and chaotic. And Xiao Qingyue was also dispersed by the sudden chaos of the crowd...

Xiao Youyu suddenly shouted in fright, "Qingyue! Clear Moon! ”

However, the noisy crowd had already drowned out her voice, and Yin Jun and a few guards were even more helpless, so they could only watch Xiao Qingyue being swept into the crowd, contrary to them. When they crossed the crowd and came to the spacious section, they found that Xiao Qingyue had long since disappeared.

At this time, the back door of Tianjiang Tower,

"Childe, my subordinates have investigated, but there is no one in this back door"

Saying that, the man with a peerless face, stepping out of the door, he was dressed in purple when he came, but now he has become a white brocade suit, and he looks more and more handsome.

Outside the back door of Tianjiang Tower is a wide and narrow alley, the man looked at the unmanned alley, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, he seemed to come out every time, and finally run away like this. Thinking of Sima Chufan, who was wearing his clothes at this time and went out from the front door, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Li Xun, tomorrow you go to a wine shop, pick up a few jars of good wine, and send it to Lord Sima."

"Yes! Childe"

The sun sets, and the clouds on the horizon are like the girl's shy face, red and bright like fire...
