The county lord of Yanyang nodded happily, and the guards hurriedly opened a road, hugging Ye Qingshu and the others to the place where they guessed the lantern riddle.

With Ye Qingshu, a guessing expert who is very good at guessing riddles at a glance, the county lord of Yanyang directly ignored the small stall on the side of the road and went to the biggest ring.

In the distance, a few people saw a phoenix the size of a house flying in the sky above the brightly lit ring, gorgeous and dazzling, as the lights went out, as if alive.

The county lord of Yanyang jumped to his feet happily, "That's good, that's good, I want that!" ”

Under the ring, layers of people were crowded to watch the excitement, and it took a long time for Ye Qingshu and a few people to squeeze in front of him.

On the left and right of the ring stood a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and a Confucian scholar in his early forties.

The lights in the ring were brilliant, and the faces of the two were clearly presented in front of everyone.

Ye Qingshu's gaze fell on the young man who was so proud first, and Hua Shao intimately introduced, "This is the eldest grandson of Hu Ge Lao, Hu Wenyuan."

Ye Qingshu suddenly felt that Hu Ge Lao's grandson Hu Wenbo was friendly with Zhi Qiyi, she had seen it a few times, this Hu Wenyuan was somewhat similar to Hu Wenbo, no wonder she looked familiar.

"Master Hu should also end up next year, I heard that he has learned people, and many people have praised him for his talent, and he is your brother's fierce rival."

Ye Qingshu's gaze fell on the middle-aged Confucian again, and as soon as he saw it, a strong killing intent burst out in his eyes, it was the scribe in the East Palace who led away the great eunuch beside the prince!

She has been secretly looking for it, but she is the only one who has seen it, and she doesn't dare to make a big fuss, but there is no news until now, but she didn't expect to meet here!

It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Ye Qingcheng saw that her expression was different, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"That person, let Yijiu follow him personally, be sure to find out his identity."

"If you want to check him, you don't have to bother, I know".

Ye Qingshu suddenly turned his head to look at Hua Shao, "Do you know?" ”

Hua Shao glanced at her up and down, "Yes, he is the most important staff member under King Ning, his name is Ding Yingjie, and he knows a lot of people in Beijing."

King Ning?

Really!

Ye Qing stared at Ding Yingjie who was talking intently in the ring, King Ning's most important staff, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to catch him.

It's a good opportunity to be crowded today, and if you don't seize it, you don't know when it will be waiting.

"Brother, I want to eat wine-stuffed balls!"

Ye Qingshu smiled and looked up at Ye Qingcheng, but his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he moved his lips silently.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll be back right away."

Ye Qingshu turned around and looked at Ding Yingjie in the ring again, Hua Shao raised his eyebrows, "You have a grudge against him?" ”

Got a grudge? Is it more than a vendetta?

Hua Shao was about to ask again, but someone in the crowd shouted, "The emperor and queen are out of the palace!" ”

The crowd was suddenly excited, scrambling to squeeze in the direction of the drum tower, Hua Shao subconsciously protected Ye Qingshu to his side, "Forget your worries, Brother Qian, follow me."

The guards and maids surrounded a few people, for fear that the crowd would collide with the county lord of Yanyang and Ye Qingshu.

The crowd was even more crowded, and soon Hua Shao realized that something was wrong, those people were coming for them!

Ye Qingshu also found out, and shouted loudly, "Divide half of the people to protect my brother!" ”

She said and grabbed the arm of the county lord of Yanyang, "County lord, hold on, don't be scattered by the crowd!" Fangcao, protect the county lord! ”

The county lord of Yanyang grabbed her arm in a panic, "Ugly, what's wrong?" What happened? ”

"Don't be afraid, hold on to me, follow the son."

Hua Shao hugged Hua Qian and said in a deep voice, "Follow me, don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

Although there were guards tightly in a circle, several people still involuntarily tossed with the waves like boats in the wind.

The county lord of Yanyang was frightened and her pretty face turned pale, and she bit her lip so that she didn't let herself cry, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down, but she didn't care about wiping them at all.

Ye Qingshu had never seen such a battle, although he was calm and calm, his face was also pale, and he didn't dare to be careless.

At this moment, the screams rang out one after another, and the flames rose into the sky, and the shouts of fire soon spread to nearly half of the imperial city.

The crowd became more and more crowded and restless, and everyone scattered aimlessly to flee for their lives, bumping, squeezing, trampling, and even trampling to death, countless of them, and screams and screams could be heard everywhere.

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were dispatched to maintain order, but they were dispersed by the huge crowd in an instant.

In the chaos, there was a wave of people with a very clear purpose to impact the protective circle surrounded by Ye Qingshu's guards, and there were even cold arrows shot from the crowd.

Hua Shao gritted his teeth and stuffed Hua Qian into Ah Zhao's arms, "Go find Ah Ming!" ”

Ah Zhao caught it, pressed Hua Qian's upturned head into his arms, spun around, and rushed towards the nearest ring with the crowd, and soon there were cold arrows chasing the two of them.

Hua Shao didn't care to look at them, "Take the county lord and go first!" ”

Ye Qingshu only felt that the strength on her wrist was empty, and she subconsciously turned her head, and saw that the county lord of Yanyang was protected by the grandmother who had been silently following her on her chest, surging with the crowd.

From her direction, all you could see was the hairpins in her hair glittering in the firelight.

Almost at the same time, the protective circle formed by the guards dispersed, and most of the people followed the Yanyang County Lord, who were as flexible as swimming fish in the surging crowd, protecting the Yanyang County Lord from far or near.

"Divide half of the people to protect Miss Ye".

"Son, don't—"

Hua Shao glanced over, and the words below the man choked in his throat, and lowered his head.

Ye Qingshu glanced at him, the people around Hua Shao, she naturally had to remember clearly.

"Don't be afraid, those people should be coming for me, you go in the direction of the crowds, and you will be fine."

Ye Qingshu nodded, Hua Shao put on a mask, protected his head and face with a big hat, changed the direction and sneaked into the crowd like a fish, and walked out of a large section before shouting in a panic, "Someone!" Protect this son! ”

Ye Qingshu faintly heard his shout, but he didn't care much, he also put on a mask, untied the conspicuous white fox fur on his body, and held Fangcao's arm tightly, for fear that he would be swept away by others, and Fangcao would never find her again.

Soon, she realized that something was wrong, that those people were coming for her!

At least partially!

The screams and screams resounded throughout the night sky of the capital, Ye Qingshu held Fangcao's arm tightly, and for the first time felt that his life was like an ant, and he might be trampled into the dust on the side of the road by the frightened crowd at any time.

The calm and intelligent agility she prided on didn't make the slightest difference in this situation, all she could do was try to keep up with the grass and not let herself be a complete burden to her.

She felt that there were fewer and fewer guards around her, and when Fangcao screamed in surprise, Ye Qingshu knew that there was only Fangcao around her, and most of the time, Fangcao couldn't protect her.

"Fangcao, you go to your brother to save me."

Ye Qingshu ordered as calmly as possible, but his voice trembled violently unconsciously.
