The fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.

Lantern Festival!

For Ningguo, the Lantern Festival is extremely important.

It is the first full moon day of the new year.

It is also the time when the earth is rejuvenated.

Families will reunite again tonight, lighting lanterns to pray for light, and eating bowls of glutinous rice balls in the hope of reunion.

I think that many lanterns have been hung in the streets and alleys of Yujing City, and the literary world will also hold a Lantern Festival tonight.

Zhouzhuang also has a festive atmosphere.

Of course, it can't be compared to the pomp and circumstance of Kyoto, but the Zhou Garden is exceptionally lively.

It's not because of the Lantern Festival.

It's the 60th birthday of Zhou Dashan's people!

Zhouzhuang market town is two miles away from Zhou Garden, this day from morning to noon, this two-mile road, groups of people walking together, almost did not stop.

Most of them are people in the rivers and lakes.

All with swords, guns and swords.

They came from all over the world, but because the reputation of the sect was not too big, or their own reputation was not too loud, they were not invited to stay in Zhou Yuan.

But this did not affect their enthusiasm for going to Zhou Yuan to participate in this birthday banquet.

Originally, this enthusiasm was even higher, but the battle that happened at the Yuelai Inn yesterday made their enthusiasm much lower-

The name of the sect of Peach Blossom Island was already extremely loud in their ears.

A gatehouse on Peach Blossom Island is a half-step grand master...... This is beyond their imagination!

After all, at the moment in the rivers and lakes, let alone a half-step great master, even if it is a powerhouse in a realm, there are not too many.

But a concierge is a half-step grand master, and the core masters, aren't they all great grandmasters?

Who can afford to mess with this?

But later I heard that Peach Blossom Island is not a sect in the rivers and lakes, but a hidden sect-

Hidden sects!

Almost no one in the rivers and lakes remembers this thing.

It's been too long.

It's also too far away from each other.

According to the Shushan Agreement a hundred years ago, the hidden door is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

No more than three people are allowed to walk in the rivers and lakes sent out by the Hidden Gate.

This does not seem to be a cause for fear.

Zhou Dashan's birthday banquet, I am afraid that there are thousands of people in the rivers and lakes.

Even if the Peach Blossom Island sent out three rivers and lakes to walk, even if the three of them were half-step great masters...... If they dare to make any moths at the birthday banquet, there are not many other rivers and lakes, but there are many people!

I heard that the biggest problem with the hidden door is that there are few people!

No matter how high their martial arts are, once they fall into the tide of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid they will also be drowned in it.

"I'm afraid of a fart!"

"Don't say what kind of arrangements Zhou Dashan people will make, if they violate the original agreement, then the people in our martial arts will definitely attack them!"

"They're human too!"

"Not a real god!"

"If you are a human being, you are afraid of being stabbed, and if you are afraid of bloodshed, you will die!"

"The hidden door is already withering, and if you die, there will be one less!"

"The most important thing in our rivers and lakes is people!"

"Let's take a walk, go and see the sword that Zhou Dashan treasured, and see how the young man named Xiaoqin died!"

“……”

So, on the way to Zhou Garden, or just inside Zhou Garden, there were laughter and laughter.

Yesterday's Yuelai Inn, although dozens of people died, and even Wei Changhe lost his life, but in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, these are not things.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and sooner or later they will be stabbed.

It's all people with their heads in their hands.

Either you succeed or become famous.

Either...... Sixteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again!

……

……

Joy Inn.

The proprietress Yin Ruming personally cooked a large pot of rice balls and cooked more than a dozen poached eggs.

Li Chenan and the others had already gone downstairs and were already sitting around the big table.

Xiaoqin was the last to come downstairs.

He was still holding his coffin.

He carefully placed the coffin aside, his fingers seemingly unconsciously tapping three times on the coffin board.

He came to the table, smiled shyly, and said embarrassedly, "I've kept everyone waiting." ”

Xu is because of the tiredness of rushing these days, or because of the trust in Li Chenan and others, Xiaoqin, who has always been extremely self-disciplined and extremely cautious, slept very deeply last night.

That's about the best night he's slept in 16 years.

These people made him feel very relieved.

Having them here made him feel safe.

He was like a stray cat, but he found a trusted companion here, but he was not good at expressing his heart.

Yinru ordered Xiao Er to bring bowls of rice balls and poached eggs.

Her face was not happy, but still very nervous.

She knew what these teenagers would face when they went to Zhou Yuan.

She's going too.

It doesn't matter if she's dead, but they're still young, and it's certainly best to be able to live.

Wen Xiaowan had told Li Chen'an the news sent by her father Wen Boiling Yufei Pigeon last night, and she thought that Li Chen'an would choose to leave here.

But after Li Chenan heard the news, he just sighed for a few breaths, and still decided to go to Zhou Yuan today.

Wen Xiaowan didn't ask why.

Because Xiao Baozi didn't ask the reason.

Amu: They don't care.

In that case, let's go to death together!

There is no hurry to go to Zhou Yuan, so the big guy eats very slowly.

Xiaoqin suddenly looked up at Li Chen'an and said, "Zhou Yuan, I have to go!" You don't have to go with you. ”

Li Chenan thought about it with a rice ball in his mouth and asked, "Can you wait for two days before going?" ”

"I can't wait any longer."

"Is that what you have to do today?"

Xiaoqin nodded firmly.

Li Chenan swallowed the rice balls in his mouth, "Then we'll go with you." ”

Xiaoqin was stunned, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that this was out of the righteousness of his friends.

He also ignored the fact that he hadn't asked the names of these people until now—

If there is still life, it is not too late to come back and ask.

He hesitated for three breaths, did not refuse his friend's help, he still looked at Li Chenan, and said very seriously:

"Zhou Mingfang is mine!"

Li Chenan nodded: "Okay, if the rest of the people do it to you, they will be ours." ”

Xiaoqin's heart was warm, and this time he didn't say thank you again.

Because there is no need to say thank you between friends.

No one noticed that Yin Ruming, who was sitting on the side, looked at Xiaoqin, a look of extreme pain flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head and ate the rice balls.

No one noticed that there was an extra poached egg in Xiaoqin's bowl.

When.

It was very windy.

The snow is also heavy.

After Xiao Wu gave Xiaoqin medicine again and redressed the wound, they were ready to go.

Xiaoqin carried the coffin on her back and tied it carefully with the hemp rope.

His back hunched down again, and he carefully carried the coffin out of the door of the Yuelai Inn.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan took Su Meng by the hand and stopped Su Xun and Steward Liu.

He said to Su Xun very cautiously: "You go back to Pingjiang City now!" ”

"Little dream, you go back together."

Su Meng was stunned: "I don't!" ”

"Be good, obedient, you have to go back and dress up beautifully, and wait for my father to come to Sufu to propose!"

Su Meng hung his head shyly, and then listened to Wang Zhenghaoxuan say again:

"I estimate that my father has arrived in Pingjiang City, and he should go to Su Mansion soon."

"I'll be back two days later."

"Second uncle, you go back in advance to prepare two dogs!"

Su Xun was stunned: "What are you going to do with the dog?" ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan stepped out of the door, Su Meng looked at his back, and pouted: "Of course it's stewed and eaten...... He loves it! ”

When Xiao Baozi heard this, he was a little regretful, because after this incident, they would go to Feng County.

The group walked into the wind and snow.

Just like that, he went to Zhou Yuan.
