【Floating Light City Luosang Street】

From the fifth day of the fourth lunar month to the eighth day of the lunar calendar, it is the annual temple fair season in Fuguang City, and the traders and people who come from all over the world gather in Fuguang City, squeezing the main city street Luosang into a flood.

"Flower lights, flower lights, walk by, don't miss it!"

"The best daughter is red, and the time-honored Fuguang is a century-old wine, come and try it!"

"Sugar skewers, jelly beans, sugar lotus seeds, the first secret sugar product of Fuguang!"

For a while, the cries came and went...

Su Yao'er dodged and jumped into the alley of the main street, poked her head out slightly, and stared at the two people who were standing in front of the sugar vendor at this time.

"Childe, if my family's sugar is called second, no one dares to call it first! How about buying some for your wife? The sugar vendor beckoned to the young man in front of him.

I saw that the man was about 20 years old, tall and elegant, and extremely handsome.

"A box of each." The young man spoke to the vendor.

Hearing this, the vendor was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay! After that, he immediately packed and bundled the food boxes on the stall one by one and handed them to the man.

Taking the food box in his hand, the man tilted his head and said to the person next to him, "Let's go." With that, he grabbed the man's wrist and squeezed out of the crowded main street.

Seeing this, Su Yao'er immediately dodged out of the alley, and pushed aside the flow of people on the street, and followed in the direction of the two of them.

"What? Going back? I haven't had enough of it! While looking at his wrist being pulled, and looking at the street that became more and more secluded as he walked, Nangong Li said indignantly.

Hearing this, Qin Fangsu turned his head, looked at the man behind him and said:

"It's not early, you stayed up so late yesterday, you have to rest early today. Besides, it's inconvenient to take so many people. ”

"What do you do when you buy so much? Find some excuse to fool me! Nangong Li pouted, and seemed unhappy to shake off the wrist he was holding.

Qin Fangsu sighed, and said with a somewhat helpless expression: "Hey, that's all, I don't know if it's enough for my lady to eat for three days." After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, waiting for Nangong Li's reaction.

"Do you say that the old man doesn't have good eyes, if a girl is so tall, I'm afraid she can't even find a husband." Nangong Li pouted and said.

Qin Fangsu looked at him carefully, although he was half a head shorter than himself, compared to teenagers of the same age, he was already on the high side.

"This is the northern realm, not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, and it's not surprising that the woman is taller, it's just weird..."

After Fang was thrown away by Nangong Li, there was some distance between the two, and this person was extremely fast, Qin Fangsu wanted to reach out and push it away, but it was obviously too late.

"Smack"

Su Yao'er fell heavily on Nangong Li's body.

"Hmm... It hurts..."Nangong Li slowly propped himself up with both hands, rubbed his head and was knocked on his back, and looked at the little girl in front of him who crashed into his arms in puzzlement.

Su Yao'er held Nangong Li's chest with one hand, wanting to stand up with strength, but when she raised her head, she met Nangong Li's gaze.

Su Yao'er looked at him and was distracted for a while, under the moonlight, the man's chin was slender, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyebrows were slender, and his eyes were as clear as morning dew.

Although the life is very good-looking, but it is not a shy and soft woman's appearance, but because she is too handsome, she looks like a little girl like a flower and jade at a glance.

"I'm sorry, brother, I was temporary... I didn't pay attention..."Su Yao'er choked.

After Nangong Li was helped up by Qin Fangsu, he patted the dust on his body and said, "Forget it, I don't have anything to do, but there are not many passers-by here, and the girl should go back early to be safe." ”

"Well, thank you, brother." Su Yao'er burst into tears and laughed, and after bowing to Nangong Li, she happily ran to the end of the alley.

"Just let her go?" Qin Fangsu asked.

"Or else?" Nangong Li turned his head to look at him and asked.

"She stole your purse." Qin Fangsu asked.

"If you steal it, steal it, that little girl is only in her early teens, and it must not be easy." Nangong straightened the hem of his clothes and continued, "Besides, we are not short of money. ”

The comparison of "no shortage of money" in the wine shop of ordinary sons of a family, if it is heard by others, it will inevitably attract jealousy, but the key words that Qin Fangsu heard were not these three words.

"Shall we?" Qin Fangsu said silently in his heart.

【Floating Light City Liu Ping Xuan】

Liu Pingxuan is the largest place in Fuguang City for people to listen to books and music after tea and dinner, but those who come here are not high-ranking officials and nobles with heads and faces, but also children of rich families.

First, even if Liu Pingxuan is an ordinary singing girl, she has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she is essentially different from those women in Fireworks Willow Lane, so it is more pleasing to the eye;

Second, Liu Pingxuan is not a mixed place, although it is a book, but the content is based on today's facts. And many people have confirmed that even if this content is not very credible, it is not far from ten.

At this time, in the lobby, the crowd surrounded the storyteller on the stage, and they all stretched their necks, listening to the man with relish.

"It is said that there are four major families today, the Liaoyuan Qin family, the Xichu Xiao family, the Fuguang Jin family, and the Lanling Nangong family. The Liaoyuan Qin clan is good at swordsmanship, and ranks first among the four with its powerful ghost swordsmanship and strong family finances; The West Chuxiao clan practiced witchcraft, and its tricks were varied and unpredictable, and they were respected as the second. The third-ranked Fuguang Jin clan is proficient in the art of poison Gu, and he is unrestrained, coupled with the viciousness of his children, so the world pays more attention to the mentality of preferring to bully the gentleman than messing with the villain, and respects him. ”

"Sir, then so, the Lanling Nangong clan is the weakest, so it ranks last?" The man in the audience shouted.

"I can't say that." After a pause, Mr. Na continued: "Compared with several others, the Lanling Nangong clan is an assassination, which is something that can't be put on the table, and there is no secret art of the family, but each depends on his ability." ”

When everyone in the audience heard this, they exploded one after another.

"I heard that the previous head of the Nangong family died early, and the current head of the family is his eldest son, who is still young and unworthy of this big responsibility."

"But isn't the Nangong family very good lately? I heard that the Liao family in Huangling was destroyed a few months ago, if it weren't for the Nangong family, who would dare to touch them? ”

"Then you don't know, a few days ago, the head of the Nangong family seemed to be suddenly ill, and all the big and small affairs in the family were taken care of by the younger brother who came out of the house."

"If you want me to say, what's the disease, is there less of a child of this kind of family fighting for power?"

"You guys are less nonsense there, I heard that this concubine was actually picked up thirteen years ago, and he tested his spirit before entering the door at the age of six, without a trace of spiritual power, although the Liao family of Huangling did not squeeze into the top four, but it is also a prominent spiritual family, even if the old sect master of Nangong is alive, it is impossible to kill the forty-eight members of the Liao family one by one overnight."

In a courtyard in Fuguang City, there was a figure standing under the peach tree in early spring and April, only to see that the person was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a gold clematis pattern waist seal tied around his waist, covered with a gold-edged soft smoke yarn, and a white cloud brocade belt tied between the green silk. A breeze blew, and the petals on the tree slid sparsely from the man's robe. Leaning sideways, looking up, revealing a smooth and fair face, under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, there are a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, but this look is full of gloomy color.

Qin Fangsu walked slowly towards the man under the peach tree, he draped a delicate feather coat over the man's shoulder, and said:

"It's windy in the morning, so don't stand here and breathe in the cold wind."

Nangong Li brushed off his feather coat, looked back at him with a smile, and said, "Fang Su, do you know the legend of this peach tree?" ”

Nangong Li shook his head when he saw him, so he continued: "According to legend, there is a mountain in the northern region of the spirit world, and there is a peach forest covering three thousand miles on that mountain, and on the other side of the mountain is the ghost domain, so in order to maintain the balance between the yin and yang worlds, there is a Xuanwu divine beast living in the peach forest, if there is a ghost who crosses the boundary and does something harmful, this divine beast will eat them in one bite."

Qin Fangsuda has been by Nangong Li's side since he was sixteen years old, so he knows that he has been well-read since he was a child, and he is talented and intelligent, and he will never forget it, and it is difficult to find a second person in the world to compare with him in the world of spiritual consciousness. It's just that talking about these early in the morning can't help but make people panic.

"That's just a legend, after all, not to be believed. But today, do you still want to go shopping in the streets? Qin Fangsu said as he pulled Nangong Li back into the room, as if he was afraid that the wind would blow away this piece of paper.

"No, let's go somewhere else today." Nangong Li's lips and teeth lightly covered the blue jade cup, and slowly tasted the rain queen Longjing that Xiao Er had just sent in the morning.

"It's so bitter..."Nangong Li frowned and said.

"I'm going to say good tea." Qin Fangsu took the cup with a smile, replaced it with a cup of dried fruit tea and placed it in front of him, and then asked, "Then where are we going?" ”

Nangong Li picked up the cup, drank it all, and said, "Fuguang Golden Mansion." ”
