Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Thousand Trees Bloom at Night

The sun was setting in the west, and three fast horses galloped across the riverside, and the outline of Jiangzhou City gradually emerged at the end of the field of vision.

The night terror hall rode a fierce horse and walked in the front, and the birds squatted on their shoulders, letting the sunset and evening breeze blow the hair, and "cooing and ......" along the way, when they were muttering - the spring breeze was proud, and the birds of Jiangzhou were seen in one day......

Compared with the high-spirited one-man and one-bird, the two horses in the back are much more dull.

Xuanji Zhenren leaned on Qing He's arms, his expression looked a little wilted, his eyes were on the back of the bull spirit in front of him, he didn't even want to lift his arms, and he sometimes closed his eyes and dozed off for a while.

Fan Qinghe lived in the next room last night, although he pretended to be drunk and fell asleep, but his mind was clear, and he listened to the movements all night, and understood why the demon girl reacted like this.

Not long after she returned to her room yesterday, Night Terror quietly ran to the next room, and then there was a mess of movement.

At first, it was the demon girl who did not change her fierce nature, deliberately provoked and teased Ning'er, and Ning'er later also put on the demeanor of a big woman and wanted to clean up the demon girl.

In the case of two to one, Fan Qinghe thought that Night Terror Hall was going to suffer, but it didn't take long to find out that Sanniang was not there, and these two little crispy skins were completely humiliating, and within two rounds, they went from being unconvinced by each other to becoming a poor woman who sympathized with each other.

Although Fan Qinghe was ashamed and embarrassed, he was quite relieved when he heard that the demon girl was miserable, so he didn't run out to avoid the rain.

But what she didn't expect was that the demon girl was soft everywhere, but her mouth was really hard.

Seeing that Miss Ning'er couldn't stand it and begged for mercy with tears in her eyes, the demon girl plucked up her momentum and teased again, and even finally the night terror hall pity the fragrance and the jade wanted to point to the end, and she was not afraid of death:

"Huh? That's not going to work? ”

You can imagine how aggressive this sentence is.

Night Terror Hall was afraid of waking her up, but she was very careful in her movements, and she was so ridiculed by the demon girl that it was estimated that it exploded at that time.

Fan Qinghe didn't know what happened in the end, anyway, he only heard the crackling sound of the water, and the demon girl's mouth was covered, and she could only let out a muffled short hum, which rang for a quarter of an hour or two, and since then the demon girl has completely died down, and she hasn't spoken much until now.

Although Fan Qinghe had a very difficult night, he found that the demon girl had suffered by herself, and she felt very comfortable, and when she saw that the demon girl had not eased up in the afternoon, she also opened her mouth and mocked:

"Wasn't you pretty powerful before, why are you wilting today? Didn't you sleep well last night? ”

Xuanji Zhenren didn't want to speak, his eyes were closed, and he didn't hear anything.

And behind, Xue Baijin rode a white horse galloping, and Luo Ning sat behind and hugged his waist, because there was a water that didn't know how deep the water was blocking the gun, his complexion was much better, and seeing that Jiangzhou City was about to arrive, he asked:

"Bai Jin, do you want to go to the dart bureau to live? Yunli is also there, so it's easier to live together. ”

Xue Baijin was forced to go out in the middle of the night last year, and fished in the rain by the river for half the night, and he didn't catch any crabs, so he didn't feel that it was convenient to live together. She slowed down her horse and said:

"You can go over if you want to, I like to be pure."

Luo Ning is still the sect leader's wife after all, and it is a bit too scummy to blatantly live outside, but she still said at the moment:

"What's the point of me going over alone, let's go back to the inn first, and go shopping on the street with you at night, and the New Year will end soon, Jiangzhou City should be very lively......"

Seeing this, Xue Baijin naturally wouldn't push Ning Er forward to the Night Terror Hall, and after arriving at the riverside wharf, he said hello to the Night Terror Hall, broke away from the team and went to the inn in the market.

The Night Terror Hall watched outside the dock, and then continued to set off, with the crowd of people, into the prosperous Jiangzhou City.

Coming to Layue soon, the people of Jiangzhou have nothing to do during the slack time, they basically wander around the city during the day, and there are dragon and lion dances on the street to rehearse, and occasionally some fireworks.

Night Terror Hall carried the bird to the dart bureau in the west of the city, and found a large pharmacy on the way, which opened a stall outside, with a lot of small bottles, and a steward shouted at the top of his voice:

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the 'treasure gun pill' made by the Xihai Zhubu is a single secret for three days, the medicinal properties are warm and do not hurt the body, and the official pharmacy is the guarantee, absolutely Tongsuo is not bullied......"

Hearing this, the Night Terror Hall was slightly puzzled, slowed down his horse to Miss Fan's side, and asked:

"What is this Treasure Spear Pill? Sounds ......"

Fan Qinghe's expression was a little strange, and he walked quickly outside the big pharmacy before he spoke:

"Didn't you give Sanniang a few prescriptions last time, in the medicinal herb business, the most profitable thing is not the scarce secret medicine, such as Snow Lake San, although it can replace Snow Lake Flower, the medicinal effect is unique, but no matter how many martial artists have suffered heavy losses on the qi veins on the rivers and lakes, there are few evenly spread to one place, so they can only increase the selling price and spread out the cost; If you want to make money, you still have to sell medicines for all ages......"

Suitable for all ages......

When Night Terror Hall heard this, he realized that this treasure spear pill was indeed the kind of thing he thought, and asked:

"Medicine is related to people's lives, not child's play, this medicine is sure not to hurt the body?"

Fan Qinghe knew that Night Terror Hall was worried that he would harm people by selling medicine for profit, so he said confidently:

"This is an old recipe that has been used for many years in the Winter Hades, it is beneficial and harmless, and you can usually eat some."

Before Night Terror could respond, Shui Er, who was leaning on the water in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes:

"Don't prescribe medicine before you enter the door, prescribe it yourself, and clean up the mess yourself."

"I'm a doctor, I know in my heart what I can eat and what I can't eat, what are you talking about?"

……

Night Terror Hall knew that Shui Er should have been scared, so he was in such a hurry to interrupt, secretly shook his head without interjecting, and went straight back to the Yuan Qing Dart Bureau.

Before the end of the year, the dart bureau was still relatively busy, the courtyard was full of carriages, many dart masters were walking in it, and Chen Yuanqing was holding the account book and counting the goods.

The Chen family's mansion in the rear is much quieter, except for the chatter of a few maids, basically no other movement can be heard.

Seeing that Uncle Chen was busy, Night Terror Hall didn't go in to disturb, and returned to the Chen family's mansion from the side alley......

"Huh?"

Sensing that something was wrong, Toritori immediately flew up and ran to the Guogong Mansion in the east of the city for refuge.

Xuanji Zhenren was listless, but he smelled a very chic smell, and the whole person was sober, and sat up straight and looked at the house:

"What does this smell like?"

Fan Qinghe thought that Sanniang was boiling medicine, but it didn't look like she asked, so she didn't dare to stop the horses.

After eating the noodles once, Night Terror felt that it tasted actually quite good, but it would be a little uncomfortable to come into contact with it suddenly, so he turned over and dismounted, and entered the house from behind to take a look.

The back door is the kitchen, the doors and windows of the kitchen are open, and the wall is a firewood stack chicken coop and other things.

Xiuhe and Ping'er helped wash and chop vegetables in the kitchen, and the charming Sanniang, dressed as a big lady, stood at the corner of the aisle and watched, her red lips moved slightly and stopped, it seemed that she was afraid that the neighbors would come to the door and wanted to stop Yunli, but she was afraid of dismissing Yunli's enthusiasm.

In the kitchen, Xiao Yunli dressed up as a delicate lady, dressed quite elegantly, with an apron hanging on her chest, standing in front of the stove, lifting the lid of the pot with one hand, checking the heat, and her slender and slender back was a little similar to Ning'er.

Seeing this scene, the corners of the night terror hall hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, and silently came to the back of Sanniang, who was secretly observing, and raised his hand to help support the weight on his chest very intimately.

"Oh~"

Pei Xiangjun looked at Yun Li, who was cooking, and didn't notice that Night Terror Tang touched behind him, the watermelon was held up, and he trembled in shock, turned around and saw the broad shoulders, and raised his eyes to see the familiar handsome cheeks, before patting his chest and saying:

"Scared the hell out of me...... When did you get back? What about Ning'er? ”

"Just came back. Ning'er went to the dock, and the water was outside. ”

Night Terror quietly nodded on Sanniang's lips, and then looked at the kitchen:

"Yunli doesn't go out to walk the street, why do you cook in the house?"

Pei Xiangjun turned around and helped Night Terror Hall tidy up his clothes, and at the same time checked whether there were any injuries on his body:

"I guessed you're coming back soon, and I want to cook for you. I cooked it once yesterday, and I didn't wait for anyone, I gave it all to Xiu Heping'er, and I also ate some, it actually tasted good......"

The two of them didn't talk for a few words, and Xiao Yunli, who was busy in the kitchen, noticed the movement outside the window, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned:

"Surprise cousin, come here."

Although Pei Xiangjun misses Jingtang a lot, he is not good at competing with Yunli girl and is jealous, so when he saw this, he turned around and went outside the back door to greet Sister Shui'er.

Night Terror came to the kitchen, Xiuhe and Ping'er moved a little sharper, and after he said hello, he came to Yunli's side to look:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, help me taste it."

Zheyunli took the soup with a spoon, blew it on her red lips, and then raised her hand to the mouth of the Night Terror Hall, looking at it with anticipation.

Night Terror Hall felt that this action was seen by Bingtuo Tuo, and he was afraid that he would have to beat him, but Yun Li didn't think about it, it was obviously wrong for him to think crookedly, so he lowered his head and took a bite and tasted it, savoring it slightly:

"Hmm...... Yes, yes, I haven't seen my craft for a few days. ”

"Hee~"

Zhe Yunli smiled with crooked eyebrows, looking a little proud, and immediately began to bring bowls and chopsticks to serve powder:

"It's time to eat! Ping'er, go clean up the table. ”

"Yes Miss."

……

In the past, in the small courtyard of Shuanggui Lane, it was all night terror hall or Ning'er cooking, Yun Li was responsible for burning the fire and buying vegetables, and now seeing Yun Li's skillful appearance, the night terror hall really has a feeling that our family has a female beginning, and they joined hands next to each other and chatted with homely gossip:

"Haven't been walking the streets in the past few days?"

"That must be walking, there are rumors everywhere about Xiaoshan Fort and Wanghailou, I am excited, alas, I didn't follow Long Zhengqing, I feel so pity......"

"What's the pity, in the future, I have to clean up the four saints of Beiliang and the god dust bald donkey, and I have to go to the official city for a walk, that's called a big scene, and when the time comes, just go over together......"

"Okay, don't say hello and run away when the time comes......"

"Hehe......"

……

chatted with each other, and then came to the living room of the house with the powder, and the family sat together for a light meal.

Zhe Yunli didn't cook for Night Terror Hall alone, and found that the master and mother didn't come, so after putting down the chopsticks, she cooked two bowls of noodles, went out with Ping'er, and ran to the dock to deliver food.

Night Terror Hall actually wanted to see Bing Tuotuo's reaction when he saw the good apprentice send the food, but he still had a lot of things to do when he came back, so it was naturally not good to follow.

Sanniang didn't go to the Guogong Mansion well, so she went shopping with Miss Fan, which was regarded as buying New Year's goods in advance.

Night Terror Hall walked out of the Chen family's mansion, the time was already night, Xuanji real person in white clothes like snow walked in front of him, holding the Hehuan sword in his hand, and his gas state also returned to the light appearance of the past.

Seeing that Shui Er didn't speak, Night Terror Hall spoke first:

"Are you alright? Would you like to take a break and catch up on sleep? ”

Xuanji Zhenren launched a fierce general yesterday, but he was covered with red lips and four eyes pressed against each other, and he was slammed into a water curtain hole, which is indeed more miserable, but there is a fire bath by his side, and the recovery is also very fast, and there is no major problem at this time.

Seeing that the Night Terror Hall didn't know pity yesterday, and now he came to ask Nuan Xuanji again, and said plainly:

"What can be done in this way? Yesterday, in order to take care of your face, I pretended to be invincible, so that you wouldn't be able to get off the stage......"

Ha?!

Night Terror Tang Rao knew that Shui Ertou Tie had already known, and he was still shocked when he heard this, so he directly grabbed his wrist and walked back:

"Wufu has to be upright if he wins or loses, go, let's fight until dawn, Fairy Lu don't care about my feelings, if you should toss to death, you will toss me to death......"

Xuanji Zhenren is not without self-knowledge, now go back, I'm afraid that I don't want to go down to the ground for three days, and at the moment I twisted my wrist lightly, making a displeased appearance:

"Again and again, I have given you a lot of opportunities, you don't know the importance and even become more and more presumptuous, now there is no chance, from now on, you don't want to touch a finger as a teacher again......"

Seeing that Shui Er was agitated and didn't play with him, Night Terror Hall must have been unhappy, so he raised his hand and held one of Shui Er's fingers.

Xuanji Zhenren drew his hand, but he didn't take the time, so he lightly raised the Hehuan Sword with his left hand:

"Let go."

Cha~

The sword makes three points.

The night terror hall didn't do anything, but came to the front of him, bent his knees around his slender legs, put Shui'er Dao Chang on his back, and said with a pleasant face:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will be honest in the future, Fairy Lu will ask for me, if you don't give it to me, you will say soft words and coax ......"

Xuanji Zhenren was lying on his back, and he couldn't do anything about this cheeky lover, so he leaned his chin on his shoulder, leaned in his ear and said:

"I've got a hundred ways to clean you up, but I'm too lazy to use it. If you don't want a fire in your backyard and you're burned all day, you'll be a teacher in the future...... Division......"

While the two were talking, they walked through an intersection along the dark alley, and the words came to an abrupt end.

As soon as the night terror hall passed the corner of the wall, a figure in a fiery red dress stood at the fork in the corner, with his arms around his chest silently, and his eyes hidden in the night were calmly looking at the two of them......

?!

Xuanji's cynical expression stiffened slightly, and his body did not move at all, as if he had turned into a wooden man in an instant.

Night Terror paused, a cold sweat rolling down his forehead, and he wanted to let go, but it was obviously too late.

Plop ~ Plop ......

The silence in the dark alley was so dead that two heartbeats could be heard.

But the expected hysterical rebukes or incredulous questioning did not appear at the fork in the road.

Stomp ......

The Empress of Great Wei was dressed in a light red dress, and walked out of the dark alley with light steps, revealing bright and moving cheeks.

She came to the side of the two of them, and instead of looking at the Night Terror Hall, she looked at the master with a slightly stiff expression on her back, and her voice was quite soft and calm:

"When you go out, are you hurt? How do you walk and have to be carried by the guards? ”

“……”

Xuanji Zhenren Rao is mind is very strong, his cold cheeks turned red, he got off his back lightly, stood upright, and brushed his shirt slightly:

"Huh, huh...... I'm just a little tired, so I just come out for a walk......"

The empress is quite familiar with Shizun's cynical character, and her temperament is obviously inherited from Xuanji Zhenren, so it is really not surprising to see this scene.

In the past ten years, Xuanji Zhenren slept outside day after day, helping the empress to find Minglong to continue her life, although the matter was not done, but the hard-working empress saw it.

After Xuanji Zhenren returned to Beijing this time, he suddenly didn't return to Yuxu Mountain, and followed behind the Night Terror Hall all day long, and the empress could actually guess some clues.

Seeing that Xuanji's rare appearance was cramped and uneasy, the empress waved her hand lightly and said:

"It's been a long time coming, tiredness is inevitable, go back early to rest, I'll talk to Night Terror."

“……”

Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren would say more than half a word, coughed lightly, turned around silently and left, ignoring the life of the lover.

Stomp ......

Night Terror stood in place, his eyes were quite complicated, and he waited until the water flew over the wall before chuckling:

"Why are you here? I'm going to look for you at the Guogong Mansion......"

The empress looked idle, and her hand reached for the blade at the waist of the Night Terror.

"Huh."

Night Terror raised his hand to suppress it, and said softly: "If you have something to say, what ......?"

Cha~

The empress casually pulled out the dark gold sword, played with it in her hand, and asked:

"This is the sword you found in Xiaoshan Fort?"

“?”

Seeing that Hu Niuniu didn't beat him, Night Terror Hall was really surprised in his heart, and he naturally didn't open any more pots, nodded and said:

"Yes, Linghu Guanzhi casting, the texture is extremely mysterious, the Pingtian Sect Master likes it very much, I didn't give it to her, I specially brought it back for you."

Bite~

The empress's fingertips flicked the blade of the sword, bringing a trembling sound in the air:

"Then you have a heart. This sword seems to be forged from dragon scale stones, but it is still a little strange that Ling Hu Guanzhi and Long Zhengqing have obtained so many dragon scale stones that have long been lost, can you ask about the whereabouts? ”

Long Zhengqing said that it was provided by the green bandits, but he didn't say it specifically, and he didn't have the opportunity to ask these questions when he was fighting for life and death. However, Long Zhengqing said that the Mingshen map is in the Beiliang Palace......"

Minglongtu's life is a matter of life, and the empress is really worried, so she flipped her wrist lightly and inserted the sword back into the waist of the Night Terror:

"It's not strange that there is a Ming Dragon Picture in the Beiliang Palace, this matter has to be planned again and again, let's put it aside for now. If you really have the heart, help get the evergreen diagram in Xue Baijin's hand back first, and she should take it with her. ”

Night Terror Hall actually wants to, but it is very difficult, so he said:

"Pingtian Sect doesn't have much capital, and last time the two of you had a fight, and your clothes were broken, huh...... I mentioned this, and she said that you should go over and change three for one in person, which is obviously unlikely, and I will think about it. ”

"Three for one......"

When the empress heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head secretly:

"She doesn't even want to change one, either take the initiative to hand it over, or I will take it myself, for your sake, you can allow her to think about it for a while, but this time is limited.

"It's really annoying me, I'll take her back, seal the qi veins with the soul separation needle, and throw her to your house as a maid, let her give birth to ten or eight big fat boys, and see if she can be so arrogant when the time comes......"

Night Terror raised his hand and persuaded: "Don't be so arrogant, if you really fight, what if she catches and bullies you?" She's transcendent now, you couldn't beat it last time, and she's definitely not an opponent now. ”

The empress was slightly displeased: "I just spare my life, I really give up my life, how can she be my opponent." ”

Night Terror felt that no matter how much they talked about this topic, it would not be fruitful, so they sighed lightly:

"Okay, anyway, leave this matter to me, don't go your own way, if something happens again, I will send you back to the capital and never take you out again."

The empress fought with Xue Baijin last time, and she saw that Xue Baijin's background was not careless, so she didn't say anything more, and turned to look at the night terror:

"In the past, you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and you don't want to reward you, but today's events are not to blame, and they can be regarded as offsetting their merits and demerits. If you can get the remaining two pictures back, and go a little further, the court is not unable to agree.

"If you can pacify the north, then the girl in the palace, you can pick any girl, anyone in the picture can be brought back to the house, you want to live in it directly, it's not impossible to ......"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly and said, "These things are too far, let's take a step and see a step." Well...... I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that King Zuo Xian has been missing for two months, is there any news from the imperial court? ”

The empress was not in the capital, and her understanding of the situation depended entirely on her sister's letters, and after a little deliberation, she responded:

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, I will send a letter to the capital and check it out. During this time, you can just have a good rest, if you want to help the court clear up internal and external troubles, you have to combine work and rest. ”

Night Terror Hall chuckled, didn't talk about business anymore, walked out of the alley on his side, and looked at the brightly lit Jiangzhou City:

"What to do now? Going to a poetry club? ”

“……”

When the empress heard this, Gujing Wubo's eyes lit up, her steps became brisk, and she walked in the direction of Yan Street:

"Let's go, the New Year is coming soon, talented people from all over Jiangzhou are gathering on Yan Street, and it's not easy for me to get in alone if you are not there. By the way, after going out and experiencing so much, have you remembered any good poems? ”

"I think about it, huh...... Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind......"

“……”

The empress listened to a few words, her pace slowed down again, her eyes pulled back from the bustling street scene, and fell on the face of the handsome boy who was talking eloquently beside her, and the little stars in her eyes showed a little star similar to that of a person.

"Good word...... Is there anything else? ”

"Alas, this thing is not carrying a sack, and if you work hard, you can do it well and quickly, you have to use your brain......"

Choking~

"Huh? What are you doing? ”

"Give you a little pressure, on the neck of the knife holder, you will definitely be able to hold it out......"

"You just chopped me up, I can't think of it or ...... Okay, I think, there are so many people on the street that it makes people laugh when they see it......"

……

In the midst of the fighting, a man and a woman gradually drifted away and disappeared into the depths of the street market......
