Chapter 14: Lantern Festival

The next day, when Ye Yuechen opened his eyes, it was almost noon, and the first thing he saw was the hot meal on the table. After yesterday's battle and the night's cultivation, Ye Yuechen's "Dragon Battle" has broken through the third layer, and he obviously feels that the vitality in his body has become a little thicker. It's just that he felt strange, he was obviously cultivating yesterday, how could he fall asleep in a daze, and when he saw Wang Tianhao, it was even more exaggerated, he actually lay on the table and snored, and saliva flowed out.

At this moment, Yan'er pushed the door and walked in, and said, "Brother Yuchen, you're awake, let's eat quickly, it's going to be cold later." Ye Yuechen looked at her and didn't speak.

Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Are you still reluctant to speak, and you're worried that your Xiaoxue will be angry?"

Ye Yuechen just nodded and continued to remain silent.

Yan'er laughed louder at this time, and said, "You stupid, haha, don't worry, I talked to you first, and you didn't take the initiative, your Xiaoxue won't be angry." ”

Ye Yuechen opened his mouth and said, "Hehe, yes, you brought this meal in?"

Yan'er nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise who else?"

Hearing her say this, Ye Yuechen was even more puzzled, and asked, "When did it happen?" Why didn't I feel it, it stands to reason that I should know if you enter and exit." ”

Yan'er put the food on the table, thought for a while, and then said, "I just brought it, maybe you worked too hard yesterday, so you slept a little deeply." ”

Ye Yuechen nodded suspiciously, turned his head and shouted to Wang Tianhao on the other side, "Big brother, get up, eat." ”

Wang Tianhao was suddenly awakened by this scream, and immediately jumped up from the stool, put his hands crossed on his chest, put on a cautious look, and said nervously, "Who, who?" Seeing the two people in front of him, he knew that he had lost his temper, touched the back of his head and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing, I thought someone was coming to sneak attack." The two laughed out loud with an embarrassed look.

Ye Yuechen said, "Big brother, I've been calling you with Yan'er for a long time, you sleep like a pig, if you don't get up again, I thought you were dead." ”

Wang Tianhao glared at Ye Yuechen and said, "You just died, can you speak?" But when he saw the sumptuous breakfast, he couldn't care about the saliva on his face, and opened his mouth to eat, he hadn't eaten since yesterday's battle, and he was really hungry.

After lunch, the three of them walked out of the inn and wandered around the street. I heard from the boss that tonight's lantern festival will be very lively, and if you guess too many lantern riddles, you can also get a reward. The festival is organized by wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants in several nearby towns, and the rewards are expected to be extraordinarily rich. So they decided to stay in Baizhou City for another day, and this Baizhou City is indeed prosperous, a few points stronger than Sansheng Town.

Soon at night, all kinds of lanterns were set up on the street, and all kinds of fireworks were set off in the sky. At this time, the street was already bustling with people, and the three people were a little out of breath.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain.

BMW carved cars are full of incense, the sound of the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns brightly, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. ”

The carved cars moving all over the street, the sound of the flute, and the smiling lantern watchers have attracted all their attention. At this moment, a group of people wearing official uniforms appeared in the middle of the street, who should be officers and soldiers to maintain order, and the city guard of Baizhou City also walked out with several wealthy merchants in the eyes of everyone.

Clearing his throat, the city guard said, "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, under is the city guard Du Wumo, the annual lantern festival is here again, please enjoy it, of course, guessing the lantern riddles, who guesses more, I have a reward." As he spoke, he looked respectfully at one of the wealthy merchants, whispered something in his ear, and left the city together.

Wang Tianhao held back a smile and said, "Du Wumo, this name is really interesting, there is not even a little ink in his stomach, can he still be a city guard?"

Ye Yuechen ignored him, his eyes fixed on one person in the crowd. After careful identification, he found that it was actually the man with a knife who had fought with them yesterday! Ye Yuechen couldn't help but wonder for a while, who was that man? He was actually with the government!

After telling Wang Tianhao what he saw, he was also puzzled, but instead said, "It doesn't matter if he is from the government or not, it's okay to look at him, and besides, he is the first to molest the women of a good family in broad daylight, we just see unevenness, don't worry." Let's guess this lantern riddle, I don't know what kind of reward it will be. As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and pulled Ye Yuechen and Yan'er away.

Ye Yuechen wasn't worried, he felt strange, first of all, the rich merchant, even the city guard nodded to him, it must not be a simple character, and the man followed the rich merchant, the relationship between the two must be extraordinary, after all, they had just left the Royal Dragon Gate, he just hoped that there would be no big trouble and unnecessary trouble to the Royal Dragon Gate. But seeing that Wang Tianhao and Yan'er were so interested, and they didn't want to spoil their interest, they didn't say any more.

"The lantern riddle contest starts now, and whoever can guess the most lantern riddles in the shortest time will get a great reward!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Yuechen and the three of them also began to guess the lantern riddle, and opened a piece of paper, which said "Seventy-two hours - type", Ye Yuechen and Yan'er barely thought about it, and at the same time said "Jing", looked at each other, and both of them laughed. Wang Tianhao asked inexplicably, "Why Jing?"

"Jing, Sanyue, isn't it seventy-two hours?" Yan'er said with a smile.

Wang Tianhao slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, hey." ”

Ye Yuechen also smiled and opened another one, "Night after night—type." The two said almost at the same time, "Many." Seeing Wang Tianhao's puzzled face, Yan'er explained to him again, and guessed more than a dozen like this, as the riddles became more and more difficult, Ye Yuechen gradually couldn't guess, but Yan'er was still able to blurt out, which made Ye Yuechen secretly praise, it seems that she really can't be underestimated.

Yan'er happily flipped out another one, which read, "Beat me for you, beat you for me." Hit until your skin opens, hit me until I bleed. - Hit an animal. Ye Yuechen thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with it, looking at Yan'er on the side, at this time Wang Tianhao had been completely ignored by him, and he was still very reliable in fighting, but this guy had developed pure limbs and a simple mind.

Yan'er laughed and said, "I think it's a mosquito." ”

Ye Yuechen suddenly realized and said, "Yes, hit your skin open, hit me until I bleed." After a few rounds of lanterns, everyone admired Yan'er's cleverness and cleverness.

At the end of the lantern festival, one of the officers and soldiers who maintained order said, "After statistics, this Yan'er girl guessed a total of 36 riddles and is the champion of this lantern riddle competition." Hearing the officers and soldiers say this, everyone immediately burst into warm applause, and Yan'er herself laughed happily. The officer and soldier turned to say, "Miss Yan'er, please go with me to the City Guard Mansion to receive the reward!" After speaking, he led the way in front. Yan'er also nodded happily, and the three of them walked towards the city guard's mansion.

When he arrived at the City Guard's Mansion, Du Wumo walked up with a smile on his face and said, "I didn't expect that the champion of this lantern riddle contest was actually a young girl. It's terrifying, haha. Seeing that the castle guard was so enthusiastic, the three of them also returned the gift with a smile.

"It's your reward, take it. With that, Du Wumo took out a small golden lantern ornament from his arms and handed it to Yan'er.

When Yan'er saw it, it turned out to be pure gold, and her eyes suddenly lit up, put it in her arms, and said, "Thank you, Lord Castle Guard." ”

For this reward, Ye Yuechen and Wang Tianhao were not moved, they had seen a lot of gold in the Royal Dragon Gate for so many years.

After thanking them, the three of them just turned around to leave, but they heard a voice in the inner hall of the castle guard's mansion, "So you want to leave?"

Of course, it was not Du Wumo who spoke, and this voice was not unfamiliar to them.
