The man in the moon-white motley bamboo robe walked from the lamplight, Xu Bu leisurely, Xiao Xiao solemn.

The jade crown rolls green silk, and the shadow length shakes with the wind.

"Why are you here?" Xun Yu was surprised, didn't he have something?

Yue'er, who was guarding Xun Yu cautiously and cautiously on the side, relaxed her tight heartstrings slightly. She immediately greeted her, but she didn't get half a look, and suddenly her heart that had just fallen hung again.

This time, she thought, they had miscalculated......

Yan Huo gave a reassuring look, looked at Yan Fei who was pressed to the ground, and then looked at Chang Tao calmly, and started mocking lightly. "Chang Shizi? It's been a long time, have you gotten better? ”

When Chang Tao saw him, his face suddenly turned gloomy, so cold that he could almost squeeze out water. Fang was confused by the beauty, and the anger that he had forgotten for the time being came in multiplication. He couldn't wait to tear apart the last trace of Yan Hui's disguise, so that he would be ridiculed by everyone like a lost dog.

What's left of the Yan family?

A man's wife, a sick seedling.

With such a person, what qualifications does he have to compete with him? And grab him?

Those despicable women, why do they prefer this faceless medicine jar?! Without...... Chang Tao was bullied in his chest, and his breathing was a little heavier, if it weren't for his sister's usefulness, he would have driven Yan Huo out of the capital a long time ago!

Thinking of this, Chang Tao couldn't help but have one or two points of remorse, he should have promised that person in the first place, even if Yan Jue was old and fierce, he was still a broken shoe that had been worn, but he had a face, and it was enough to be a concubine. But in the blink of an eye, Chang Tao once again dispelled this idea.

Hmph, what kind of ability is it to use a woman to deal with Yan Hui. He has a way to trample Yan Huo under his feet to vent the humiliation of the year!

I have to say that although Chang Tao is arrogant and brainless, relying on his family background to fight fiercely, he has a moral bottom line that he is not aware of.

Chang Tao said: "Hmph, when did this son of the world fall to the point where he was comforted by a waste who lives on a woman?" You should learn more from your stepmother, burn more incense and worship some Buddha, and pray that your sister will not die too early. ”

"Chang Shizi is right, change the king of Japan and go to the Marquis Mansion of Ningyuan, and discuss with the Hou Ye how to burn this incense and how to worship the Buddha."

Chang Tao was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "You-"

"Brother Chang, don't worry," Murong Gui, the prince of Jiangdu, who had been silent, stretched out his hand to stop Chang Tao, he looked at Yan Hui, "Brother Xuu, I haven't seen you for many years, and I feel relieved to see you the same as before." ”

The king of Jiangdu is the brother of the current saint Murong Yao, and he is also a mad dog in the hands of Murong Yao when he seized the heir. After Murong Yao ascended the throne, he divided the rich land as his fiefdom. Now the king of Jiangdu is like the most powerful vassal king, and in order to show his loyalty, he sent Murong Gui to the capital, obviously to learn and to be a hostage.

Why is it a concubine and not a prince?

Guy Murong Gui was born of the favorite woman of the king of Jiangdu, and since he was a child, he was regarded as the treasure in his hand, and the prince could not take his honor.

After Murong Gui entered Beijing, he quickly became familiar with the gentlemen led by Chang Tao. Because of the king of Jiangdu, he knows a lot of inside information that others may not know in their lifetime. He bullied Yan Hui, far more ruthless, more vicious and more secretive than Chang Tao and others. For example, Chang Tao only clashed with Yan Hui head-on, but Murong Gui hid in the shadows like a poisonous snake.

The reason why Yan Hui's "good name" is known to everyone is that he has contributed a lot.

"For years? This king's brain is not bad, and he has seen you at the New Year's Palace banquet. ”

Murong Gui was surprised, "Really? Why didn't I see you? He asked himself, "Oh, maybe I was drunk and faint at that time, Brother Wu wouldn't mind, right?" ”

Yan Huo sneered, "What does this king mind? You stars and moons, what do you dare to mind this king? ”

Murong Gui was gloomy and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu Wu is still blaming the little brother. Although I was in Beijing back then, I could ...... You understand my situation, and I wanted to ask my father at that time, but ......"

"Shut up!" Yan Huo suddenly interrupted him angrily, "Murong Gui, you suggested that Your Majesty let this king's sister go to guard the border pass, and this king will always remember it." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely thank you for your great kindness! Arabic, let's go. ”

Yan Fei's heart tightened, and when he remembered the look in his eyes, he immediately broke free from the restraints and followed quickly.

Murong Gui looked at Yan Huo, who was dragging Xun Yu away angrily, and his glasses narrowed slightly.

Now it seems that Yan Hui is indeed wasted. Even if he has the advantage of his tongue, he can only deal with brainless people like Chang Tao. As long as you provoke a little, you can't control yourself.

He can only be like his face, even if he wears a mask that is incomparably exquisite, it is only a fake after all.

Oh, pitiful, alas.

"Brother Murong, what do you mean?"

Murong Gui's eyes were impatient, but his face was like a spring breeze. was questioned by Chang Tao, not only was he not angry, but also explained gently: "Brother Chang, don't be annoyed, although it has been a long time since you smashed him before, you can ......" He pointed to the sky, "I still remember." Now that there are so many people, it is enough for you to beat his guards. If you do something more, I'm afraid that Hou Ye won't make you feel better. ”

Chang Tao was unwilling to be dissatisfied, but he still remembered Ning Yuanhou's advice, he scolded a few words hatefully, and said, "Huwu? Hmph, take such a girly word. ”

"Shhh-" Murong Gui put his finger to his lips and said deeply: "His words were set by the county lord of Qinghe. Brother Chang, if you can trust me, don't mention it again. "You must not let go of your curiosity, you must explore and explore. It's better to turn over the thing that is taboo in the saints......

Chang Tao's expression changed back and forth, and he didn't know what he thought. Murong Gui pretended not to see it, and pointed to the other side of the river as if surprised, "Isn't that the side princess of the Yanjun Palace?" Why is she putting the lights there alone? ”

Chang Tao is now angry when he hears the words "Yanjun Wangfu". He looked in the direction Murong Gui pointed, and sure enough, he saw Yuran putting a lamp there.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

***

The lights are like a sea.

The noisy and lively voices of people are pouring in like waves, and after listening to one or two, you can know that the jackpot of this lantern festival has the owner.

"Do you want to enjoy the lights for a while?"

Xun Yu looked at him and said coldly: "Did you ask me what I thought this time?" ”

Yue'er did everything possible to coax her out, if she didn't mean Yan Hui, then her brain was just to increase her height.

Yan Huo ignored her sarcasm, and the two walked silently in the crowd of lights.

When I walked out of Yongchun Street, the surroundings suddenly became deserted.

The silence swallowed up the more and more sparse laughter, and only the crisp footsteps of a few people were heard.

"I want Ah Yu to see Jokhang." Yan Huo stood at the mouth of an alley and watched her silently for a while, "Look at the false prosperity of Zhao. ”

After saying a seemingly inexplicable word, Yan Hui turned around and stepped into the alley.

Xun Yu fell behind him, and when he walked out of the alley, the moonlight in his eyes could not beautify the dilapidated and desolate.

Xun Yu couldn't help but think of the war-torn mortal kingdom he had been to in his previous life. Although it is not as miserable as that, it can be compared with the brilliant prosperity of the lights next door, and it is also a little shocking.

Occasionally, an unpleasant cough sounded coming from the dilapidated window.

They walked for a while, and Yan Huo stopped in front of a courtyard.

The vermilion plaque on the courtyard with paint peeling off is engraved with a few words that have long been blurred. The copper ring on the door was broken, and many of the green tiles on the wall were broken. The roots of the walls, moistened by the rain, crawled sparsely with moss. A few clusters of branches poked out of the wall, just in time to block the broken corners.

"Hirohito...... Hall? Xun language recognition.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Yan Hui's eyes, and he stared at the plaque almost stupidly. After half a ring, he took out a bag full of money and threw it into the yard.

"Yes, this is Guangrentang. More than 10 years ago, it was one of the most famous places in Kyoto. ”

More than ten years ago? Xun captures the word. This was not the first time she had heard it.

She didn't have much curiosity, but maybe she heard too much, and she couldn't help but feel a little inquisitive.

What really happened more than a decade ago?

"There used to be dozens of Guangrentang, which can be said to be all over the Jokhang and benevolent. But today, this is the only place left. ”

"Do you know why the lantern festival is held here at this time?" Suddenly, Yan Hui changed the topic and said as if asking and answering himself: "The north of the city gathers clan relatives and nobles, and the officials are very rich. Seongnam were ordinary officials, nobles, and wealthy people. To the west of the city are civilians...... And here, it is the farthest east of the city from the imperial city. Most of the residents in the eastern part of the city are abandoned children without parents or old people who have no one to rely on...... Because of poverty and lowliness, many wicked men and evil deeds have been brought. ”

"What does this have to do with the Lantern Festival?"

Yan Hui said: "The lantern festival lasts for nine days, and the lanterns are changed every three days to attract people to come and play. In the last three days, according to the custom, the nobles from the north of the city will come here to cheer more or less, and even the nobles who rarely go out will also come. And the eighth day of the lantern festival is the birthday of the current emperor. ”

Xun Yu was taken aback, and instantly thought of a possibility. She frowned slightly, "Could it be ......?"

"Every year, the saint will show his holy virtue and compassion on his birthday, but the south of the city is a chronic disease in the capital, and it cannot be eliminated overnight. Therefore, in order to whitewash the peace, they came up with this method to cover it up. Even if the saint wants to go out of the palace on a whim, he will not be ruined. Even if you go here, it will be interpreted as going to the lantern festival to look empty. ”

Fortunately, during the last three days of the Lantern Festival, all residents in the eastern part of the city were not allowed to go out day and night. Someone will deliver a day's worth of food at regular intervals every day.

Far from being angry, the residents of the eastern part of the city were very happy. For them, who are struggling to make ends meet, the Nine Days Lantern Festival is also a grand festival for them. Even if you are suffocated, it is better than being hungry.

Of course, not everyone is like this, but whether it is the person who makes trouble or wants to take the opportunity to sue, it has completely disappeared......

For the chaotic city of the east, no one who disappears can cause others to be alarmed.

None of them has the right to blame the people in the east of the city for being selfish and indifferent, but the people they can blame are the ones they dare not blame......

Xun Yu didn't know what to say for a while, the evil fire of the human heart was difficult to extinguish.

Yan Hui moved his gaze, which had been looking at Guangrentang, to her. The cold moonlight reflected the phoenix's eyes, sweeping away the emotions, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness.

"Ayu, this is what Jokhang really looks like."
