Chapter XI Introduction

A horse-drawn carriage drove on the official road outside Yangcheng, and a string of wind chimes were hung on each side of the roof of the carriage, and the wind chimes gently swayed in the carriage, making a pleasant bell.

The driver was a man in his early thirties, wearing a green shirt.

Inside the car sat a young woman, wearing a white shirt and a pale yellow skirt. There was a guqin on one side of the woman, and her hand was gently placed on the guqin.

The carriage was heading towards Yangcheng, the wind chimes on the carriage were ringing softly, and some passers-by were looking at the eye-catching car from time to time.

Some of the people who returned to Yangcheng from working outside stopped and chatted.

Someone said, "Look, it should be the carriage of the musician Nangong Ni." ”

Someone else said, "Nangong Ni should have come to participate in the Chrysanthemum Festival in Yangcheng this time." ”

Someone said, "This time the Chrysanthemum Festival in Yangcheng seems to be very lively, even Nangong Ni is dispatched, I don't know who has such a big face to invite her out." ”

Someone chimed in: "Yes, yes, Nangong Ni is a famous musician, and he doesn't show up easily."

Nangong Ni in the car listened to the conversation outside, and just smiled indifferently.

She said secretly: Who would let her come here, it's not him.

She looked at the guqin again and muttered softly: "Jingqi, you have come all the way to let me come to this chrysanthemum festival because why is it worth your hard work?"

Nangong Ni's face was puzzled.

Whatever the reason, as long as he spoke, she would have no place to refute.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

When he Yuan Gongzi walked out of the inn, he saw that there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets of Yangcheng today, I don't know what day it is, but it must be very special.

There are many stalls on the side of the street, and they are all chrysanthemums.

As far as the eye can see, the entire street has become a golden line.

Yuan Gongzi folded his hands behind his back and walked forward with great strides, and I immediately caught up with him after I came back to my senses.

His retinue followed me and him unhurriedly.

"What day is Yangcheng today?" I asked Yuan Gongzi.

Yuan Gongzi glanced back at me and said, "Chrysanthemum Festival."

I smiled leisurely, the festival must be very joyful, so he took me out to play?

I was happy in my heart, I didn't go out for a few days in the inn, and I could finally come out to play, but I didn't know what was fun about this chrysanthemum festival, and I couldn't wait.

I smiled and asked, "So where are we going?"

His cold eyes were filled with tenderness, and he replied to me, "Hongyan Tower."

When I approached the Hongyan Tower, I had already found that there were too many people gathered here, although there was a road left at the gate of the Hongyan Tower, but the people standing on both sides were crowded. Some of the government soldiers stood on both sides of the road, maintaining order, and it seemed that there were quite a few dignitaries inside.

Yuan Gongzi grabbed my hand and whispered to me, "There are too many people, follow me for safety."

Seeing that he was worried about my safety, I didn't resist him and let him hold my hand.

As I silently watched the crowd, I heard someone shouting, "Oiran is here!"

I looked sideways, and a group of girls came flutteringly over, and a beautiful woman sat on a sedan chair carried by a few big men behind those girls.

On the woman's dress, the white gauze is embroidered with yellow chrysanthemums, and even a big chrysanthemum is inserted in the bun, but the face is covered with a veil, and it is not clear what it looks like. However, she is really a beautiful woman, and she is indeed beautiful.

Those people came all the way to Hongyan Tower, and I was squeezed into the crowd, and I watched in amazement as the Oiran passed in front of me. By the time the Oiran entered the building, some of the people had dispersed, but most of them remained where they were.

I watched as those officers and soldiers were all in a line guarding the entrance of Hongyan Tower, not allowing people to enter casually.

And the people who enter the door are holding some sign in their hands.

Yuan Gongzi's bodyguard Gong Yi also handed a hand card to the leader of the gate at this time, and the man looked at it and hurriedly asked.

I was dragged in by Yuan Gongzi.

The leading guard himself led the way.

There is a big hall in the middle of Hongyan Building, and the innermost stage is a stage, and some loose tables are placed in front of the stage, and each table is already full of people.

Those people are either rich or have some background......

There are many people in the rivers and lakes, and they all carry swords in their hands.

Surrounding the middle hall, there are three floors of private seating rooms on all sides, and the windowsills of each room are open to the middle halls, and the guests in the wings can watch the stage in the hall from the wide windowsills.

The leading doorman took us upstairs and retreated, and then the man from the Hongyan House brought us refreshments.

Yuan Gongzi's guards left two people to stand at the door of the elegant seat, and Gongyi took two to stand in the elegant room.

I was very excited, watching that there should be a show to watch, leaning against the window, I looked downstairs with joy.

The seats downstairs slowly filled.

I looked around, and Yuan Gongzi just drank his tea quietly, without a trace of the excitement downstairs.

He was very silent today, and I always felt that something was wrong with him, but I didn't care.

Suddenly, there was silence in the room, and the sound of the piano wafted.

I looked towards the stage and saw a veiled woman on one side of the stage playing the guqin elegantly.

There was silence in the Hongyan Building, only the sound of the piano wafted.

In the middle of the stage, the Oiran came quietly and danced.

The Oiran danced in the center of the stage, and the spectators looked straight at her.

The Oiran posture is Ana, and her dancing skills are beautiful. Although the face is covered with a scarf, the white skin and soul-hooking eyes make it difficult to pass away at a glance.

I was so impressed by the way the oiran danced that I raised my mouth and exclaimed, "What a good dance that woman had!"

Hearing me say this, Yuan Gongzi glanced downstairs leisurely.

I didn't have time to pay attention to Yuan Gongzi's expression, and continued to watch the beautiful dance and listen to the melodious sound of the piano.

The eyes of the Oiran seemed to be familiar to me somewhere.

Although she wore a veil, those seductive eyes really felt familiar to me.

Where I had seen that woman, I couldn't remember for a moment.

I haven't seen a few people since I woke up.

I don't know if it's a memory in my head......

After the woman danced, I was about to retract my gaze, but suddenly I saw a familiar figure in the elegant room opposite.

It's him, Ji Yu.

Although there was a beaded curtain at the curtain, I could see him clearly.

He was putting down the teacup in his hand and raising his gaze at the same time, he was looking at me, and he didn't react at all when he met my direct gaze.

I looked stunned, why didn't I react at all?

Don't you want to see me?

Or have I become a stranger?

I have some heartache.

Lowered his eyes to the side, relieved himself, and looked at him again.

I saw that he was saying something to Xie Rin, and Xie Rin walked out of his elegant room.

Yuan Gongzi suddenly said loudly: "What's wrong?"

I glanced at him busily, my eyes flashing to calm myself, "It's okay, I was stunned by the Oiran's dancing posture and didn't react." I smiled, but Yuan Gongzi just looked at me quietly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the guard guarding the door walked in, whispered a few words in Gongyi's ear, and retreated.

Gongyi whispered something in Yuan Gongzi's ear, I couldn't hear it, but Yuan Gongzi smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth after hearing it, which was a little weird.

The look of him was a little scary, an expression I had never seen these days.

Just then, I heard a commotion in the hall downstairs.

I hurriedly looked, and there was a sword exchange between Rin and a guest of the rivers and lakes, and the fight was chaotic.

Something happened, and I stood up in confusion.

Yuan Gongzi was still drinking tea leisurely, and he didn't even look down.

Gong Yi and the two guards made vigilant movements, holding their sabers tightly in their hands, as if preparing for battle.

I seem to understand at this time, Yuan Gongzi has long been aware that something will happen, so he has that calm expression.

It's just that why Xie Rin is trembling with people, and there are many people on the other side, at least several.

I hurriedly looked at Ji Yu, who was standing by the windowsill, looking at the war below, with a confident expression.

The guests downstairs had long since dispersed, and the tea and table fell to the ground.

The musician leaned against the corner in a daze, as if he was afraid.

I didn't see when the woman came out, but now I saw a man with a large knife swinging it at her.

The woman looked like she was too late to dodge.

Trembling with fear.

I was also frightened and shouted, "Be careful! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly saw Ji Yu leap down, jumped in front of the woman, waved the man's arm with a big knife, and slapped it, and the man took a few steps back in a panic.
