There are many river lanterns floating in the Huai River, which correspond to the sky lanterns rising in mid-air, and the dark Huai River shines brightly.

Chu Silence really stood on the edge of the Huai River, surrounded by a lot of people, holding the river lantern by him to read the scriptures and pray, Jing Tan looked carefully, most of the women around her were about the same age, dressed in red and willow green, presumably wanted to walk in the crowd more conspicuously, but I didn't know that the gentleman in white was more conspicuous.

"Sister, why don't you take the lotus lantern and go to the mage to pray for blessings?" Yabai on the side pushed Lan Qing, she saw Lan Qing staring at Chu Lonely over there for a long time, and it was not easy to poke her, so she couldn't help but joke, and took a lotus lamp and put it in her arms.

"You!" Lan Qingjiao pushed Yabai angrily, and then followed her words and went over there.

"Brother Youjun, shall we go over there and see the lights?" Yabai pulled Wang Youjun's sleeve, as if taking Jingtan standing aside as air.

Seeing Wang Youjun's embarrassed face, Jing Tan smiled and said, "Brother Youjun, let's accompany the second sister, I'll go and put the lights on my own." "Her two sisters are not there, and she is happy to put on the lights.

So before Wang Youjun could say anything, Yabai happily pulled Wang Youjun away.

Jing Tan looked back in the direction of Mr., Mr. was talking to Lan Qing, Lan Qing seemed to be smiling happily with the lamp....she retracted the foot she wanted to walk over.

"Oops!" Suddenly, an old man's exclamation came from his ears.

Jing Tan turned around and saw an old man sitting on the ground, it turned out that it was crowded here, and the old man accidentally bumped into Ah Heng and fell to the ground.

"Is the old man okay?" The two hurriedly went to help him.

His face ached: "Oops~ I can't seem to stand up with this foot...."

Ah Heng touched his ankle, it was really swollen, and quickly apologized: "Uncle can't help it, there are a lot of people here, and I don't know how to let it." ”

Jing Tan also looked guilty: "Uncle, it's better to let him send you to the hospital to have a look." ”

The old man looked at them and said, "You are here to pray for blessings, my old man can go by himself, don't bother." ”

Jing Tan helped him up and said, "Then how can I do it, I feel guilty for bumping into the old man by mistake, and if we don't send you to the hospital again, our conscience will be uneasy." ”

Ah Heng worried: "But Childe is here alone...."

Jing Tan smiled and said, "Your son-in-law is such a big person, are you still afraid that someone will sell me?" ”

The old man said with some difficulty: "Then thank you to this little boy." ”

Jing Tan returned the salute, watched them leave, and returned to the river to put the lanterns.

"Since the mother concubine left, the palace seems to have changed, even the father and the emperor made the sons feel strange, because the mother and concubines protected the sons and daughters too well, so that the sons and daughters couldn't see some things clearly, or the palace has always been like this..."

Jing Tan looked at the lotus lantern floating on the water, and remembered what happened a while ago, why did Mandarin Lotus, the queen, Mrs. Chen, and the mother concubine want her to be less close to Mr. and Wunian National Teacher? Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she heard that the national teacher of Wunian was sick and had not seen anyone for many years, but in the past few days of worship in the Jile Temple, why has she not seen the national teacher of Wunian? Is it so sick?

"Princess, be careful!" The voice of the first silence came to her ears, and it was a nervousness she had never heard before.

She subconsciously went to find the source of the sound, only to see Lan Qing pounced on him not far away, it turned out that he didn't call her....

"Ahh When she was in her trance, a pain came from her hand, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a masked man in black carrying a big knife and slashing at her, and she hurriedly dodged.

Jing Tan pulled out his sleeve arrow and shot it at the man in black, the man retreated a few steps in order to dodge, Jing Tan took the opportunity to ask, "Who are you?" ”

The man shouted, "There is so much nonsense when death is on the verge of death!" ”

Here Chu Silence subconsciously pushed Lan Qing away, Lan Qing Jiao said angrily: "The mage just scared Lan Qing, Lan Qing still thought something was wrong-" Before the words were finished, the crowd was frightened away by the black-clothed man who was chasing Jing Tan, and the warbler Yanyan who surrounded Chu Silence fled in an instant, and Lan Qing realized that the words that Fang Chu Lonely was anxious about were said to Jing Tan.

At this time, a few black-clothed people jumped out from all sides and went straight to Jingtan.

Seeing this, Lan Qing pulled the sleeve of Chu Lone's coat and hid behind him, "Mage, Lan Qing is afraid~"

"Celestial princess, don't panic, turn right from here and go all the way to the South Yaguan Office, the matter is urgent, and the eldest princess is tired of running away."

"But Lan Qing is alone....", she still tugged at his sleeve.

"Depending on the situation, people are not coming for the eldest princess, the eldest princess is safe to leave here." As he spoke, he pulled out his sleeve from her hand without a trace, and ran towards Jingtan.

Lan Qing looked at his back in a bit of anxiety and was stunned, but still turned around to move the rescuers.

When Jing Tan was fighting with the man in black, another one jumped out of nowhere, and the sleeve arrow in Jing Tan's hand couldn't parry it for a while, and it was suddenly pulled away by a force.

"Princess, be careful!"

Jing Tan was sure that this time Mr. was talking to her. Because her wrist was being grabbed by him.

"Sir, go away!" Seeing that the two were about to chase after them, Jing Tan hurriedly pulled Chu Silence and fled.

The men in black followed suit.

Jing Tan pulled Chu Silent in a panic, and he didn't know which street he ran to, looked around, saw a dark alley and quickly rushed in.

Seeing that Chu Shi was about to say something, Jing Tan hurriedly pressed him against the wall, covered his mouth and nose, and motioned for him to silence.

The two of them listened in the dark to the movement outside. When the people on the street saw them carrying knives, they fled in fright.

"Where did they go?"

Another person said, "You go this way, I go this way, Childe said, resist and die." ”

Then I heard footsteps moving away.

Jing Tan came from a burst of heat in her hand, panicked, looked up at him, because of the clouds and the moon, the place was narrow, the light was a little dim, and she couldn't see Mr.'s eyes, but she thought that they were so close now, Mr. must be shy.

Jing Tan smiled: "The situation is urgent, sir, don't blame Jing Tan for being rude." ”

"What did you want to say, sir?" She put down her hand, the residual warmth of his snort in her hand had not yet dissipated, she subconsciously clenched her hand, but there was a burst of pain from her hand, and she realized that her hand was still bleeding.

Hatsu Silence raised her arm and said worriedly, "The princess's hand must be healed as soon as possible. As he spoke, he tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve and said, "Trouble the princess, roll up your sleeves." ”

Jing Tan obediently rolled up her sleeves, for some reason, she actually felt that her husband's voice was a little muffled and different from usual, was it her delusion? No, Mr. was very nervous when he called Lan Qing.

"Does it hurt?"

"Uh-" Jing Tan came back to his senses and smiled at him: "It doesn't hurt, how can it hurt if Mr. bandages me." ”

"Shhh

"When the villain rushed to the princess, the poor monk reminded the princess, why didn't he know how to hide?"

"Did the gentleman say it to me at that time?" She was momentarily stunned, not paying attention to his accusatory tone.

"Or does the princess think?"

"I thought that Mr. didn't know I was coming...."Jing Tan thought about it, since Mr. could remind her in time, he must have seen her a long time ago, when did he notice her?

"Did the gentleman see me earlier?" At this time, the clouds that had obscured the moon had just dispersed, and she stared at his beautiful eyes by the moonlight, not wanting to miss a trace of his emotions.

Unexpectedly, when he is shy at the beginning, he will turn his head away and avoid his eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Jing Tan said with some excitement: "Sir, is this shy?" Sir must have seen me early in the morning! What's so hard to admit about this? ”

"Where's the bracelet sir?" A piece of the sleeve of his hand was missing, revealing a piece of his wrist, and the bead of sandalwood that should have been wrapped around his hand was gone.

"Moyo was left on the road."

Jing Tan thought back to Fang Cai, maybe it was left on the edge of the Huai River when he was fighting with people, "I'll go and pick it up." ”

Chu Silence frowned and said: "The purpose of the villain is the princess, the princess should not go over, and it is just an ordinary bead, the princess does not have to take risks for the first silence." ”

"Mr. Sandalwood Beads has been brought for so long, it must be very important to Mr., after all, Mr. also lost the beads for me, if I don't find it, how can I be worthy of Mr." After thinking about it, he said: "It's not safe here, Mr. knows the way, it's better to go back to Nanshan first, I will find Mr. when I find it." ”

"Dare to ask the princess....do you know how to get here?"

Jing Tan looked around, and sure enough, she didn't remember the way she came....

"I was in a panic...."

"The poor monk went with the princess." So saying, he walked ahead of her.

They returned to the Huai River the same way, and there was silence all around, and the sandalwood beads lay quietly on the ground.

Jingtan picked it up, like a child begging for candy: "It's okay, I didn't lose it." ”

"You're here!"

In the blink of an eye, the men in black came from all sides. It turned out that they had been ambushed.

Jing Tan said angrily: "Despicable! ”

"Using that string of broken beads as bait can really lure you in." The black-clothed man led by him approached them, with an excited face, "What kind of relationship do you say these two people have, the archmage of the dynasty actually pulled and pulled with a kid~"

Several of the other masked men burst into laughter when they heard this.

Jing Tan blocked Chu Silence behind him and scolded, "What are you talking about in your dog's mouth! The first mage is innocent, how can he be slandered! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to him and shot the Hidden Arrow, and before the man in black could dodge, the Hidden Arrow slid over his shoulder, and blood oozed out in an instant.

Jing Tan's actions obviously angered them, and the man in black at the head commanded: "Brothers, Childe said, don't show mercy to this rude boy!" ”

After getting the order, they came around with knives, Jing Tan's sleeve arrow had run out of food at this time, and seeing that the knife was about to be cut over, Jing Tan closed his eyes and opened his hands to protect Chu Silence.

When he opened his eyes again, the black-clothed man led by him fell to the ground, but there were no injuries on his body, and the rest of the people were startled, but they didn't care about raising the knife again, who knows, the sound of fighting sounded in Jingtan's ears.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Jiaming rushing over and fighting with the men in black, and he left them down after dividing them by two.

Jiaming took the knife and waved at her: "Your Highness, Jiaming is too late. ”
