Chapter 151: Chengdu Lantern Festival

Yes? This!

This familiar routine made Zhao Mingyuan quickly understand what was going on.

Unexpectedly, this business has been inherited for a long time and has been passed down for thousands of years.

It's just that, Xiao Er, can your acting skills be better?

Gesturing at him in a place where he thought Shi Qingxuan couldn't see, this professionalism is too bad, right?

Shouldn't this kind of thing be understood?

Are you afraid that you will forget his good and the reward will not be enough?

But where can this kind of movement be hidden from the people in the martial arts, how did you do your business before?

Even if he didn't turn his head, Zhao Mingyuan felt the gaze from behind him. Although Shi Qingxuan didn't say a word, it made Zhao Mingyuan feel like he was on pins and needles.

Obviously, Shi Qingxuan has already understood this farce and is watching how Zhao Mingyuan will act.

Although Shi Qingxuan didn't say it explicitly, her attitude was obviously refusal.

When there were no outsiders in the mountains, Shi Qingxuan was still able to watch Zhao Mingyuan sleeping in the mountains and forests. Wouldn't you be able to find a place to stay in this town today?

Alas, the key is not enough favorability!

If the favorability is high enough, the girl will naturally pretend not to know, and even agree to it first.

Forget it, Zhao Mingyuan didn't have such extravagant hopes to be able to take down Shi Qingxuan so quickly. It's just that when I encounter this classic scene, I still can't help but feel excited.

The shopkeeper seemed to see the silence of the two as hesitation, but when the woman did not explicitly refuse, he thought that the woman was shy and refused to say it, but in fact, he had already agreed in his heart.

So, the shopkeeper secretly scolded Zhao Mingyuan, a scholar, for being really elm head, and he even had to assist himself. However, for the sake of his own reward, he had to take the initiative to advance.

Therefore, seeing that the two of them did not answer for a long time, the shopkeeper actually continued to arch the fire and said: "Looking at the costumes of the two, it is obvious that they are also martial arts people who want to enter Shu."

Walking between the rivers and lakes, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some inconveniences.

However, the children of the rivers and lakes are not informal.

What's the difference between this and sleeping in the wilderness?

If it's really inconvenient, this son can lay on the floor!

We can prepare an extra bed to cover ......"

Seeing that the more Xiao Er said this, the more he spoke, the more unreasonable he became, Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly interrupted.

With a "snap", he slapped a silver ingot on the counter, and shouted: "Two upper rooms, hurry up!" Don't be verbose! ”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper stopped talking, put away the silver, and took the two of them to open two sets of adjacent wings.

It's just that when he left, he thought that he couldn't hear the two of them when he walked away, and he scolded and said bad things about Zhao Mingyuan.

What words such as "nerd", "don't know the hearts of good people", "give you a chance, it's useless" and so on, made Zhao Mingyuan annoyed when he heard it. It's a pity that the beauty is on the side, but it's not convenient to have a seizure.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The two went back to their rooms to bathe and freshen up, and then went to the lively place in the city to eat.

Listening to the people in the rivers and lakes next to her who drank too much and made nonsense about the latest news on the rivers and lakes today, Shi Qingxuan was sure that Zhao Mingyuan did not lie to her.

Although he didn't say much, his eyes flashed, but there was an inexplicable flow of emotions.

Nothing happened overnight, and the two continued on their way the next day.

Three days later, the two came to Chengdu.

One year into Yi, two years in Chengdu, because of the name of Chengdu.

In the autumn of the ninth year of King Huiwen of Qin during the Warring States Period, the King of Qin sent doctors Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to lead a large army to attack Shu, annex Shu County, and take Chengdu as the county rule.

By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it had been nearly a thousand years.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhao Mingyuan felt that the Shu people compared to the war-torn Central Plains, the prosperity of singing and dancing, and the wealth and extravagance of the world.

The first thing that catches your eye is the countless lanterns, some of which are hung outside the doors of the shops and residences, and some of which are held in the hands of pedestrians, and children frolic in groups with lanterns.

The girls are all dressed up in fancy clothes, and the gorgeous clothes of the Qiang girls are full of foreign customs, and the sound of laughter and fun comes and goes, overflowing the city gate avenue lined with shops.

In the crowded streets, the sound of firecrackers is incessant, and the smoke is everywhere, which is full of festive atmosphere.

Zhao Mingyuan counted the days, and suddenly remembered that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I couldn't help but look up at the bright moon that had been robbed of a little brilliance by the fireworks, and a sense of intimacy welled up in my heart, but compared with the warm atmosphere around me, I felt a little out of place.

He hasn't had a serious festival for a long time, and he has long lost the mood of the festival, which may be the price of fighting for the world!

In a peaceful and prosperous world, this should be what is in front of him, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart.

For example, there are beacons everywhere today, but this place doesn't seem to be affected much, but seems to be more prosperous, giving Zhao Mingyuan an unreal feeling.

It's not that "the world is not chaotic and Shu is chaotic first, and the world has been governed by Shu and then governed", why is it that it has long been a pot of porridge outside, but it is still so prosperous and stable here. Is the rumor false or something?

However, at least one thing Zhao Mingyuan is sure of, that is, this Bashu is indeed a battleground for soldiers.

The land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always been known as the "country of abundance", with plenty of grain and grass. Therefore, whenever the unified dynasty collapsed, the rebels and separatists here were moved by the news, and they raised banners one after another, declared independence and self-government, and entered a state of anarchy.

By the time the world had settled and the smoke had cleared, this basin nested in the mountains had not yet been incorporated into the unified territory, and the rulers had to make the last effort to recover it.

Because the road to Bashu is very steep, it is generally to calm this place when the overall situation has been decided in the end.

It's just that today's situation is different, that is, there is no powerful person ruling in the land of Bashu now, but various forces are intertwined, barely maintaining balance, and no one can really call the shots.

Therefore, even if Xie Hui wants to take Bashu to Li Valve, he is only expressing his own intentions, and he cannot really represent all Bashu forces.

In fact, although Xie Hui is known as the "Martial Arts Judge" and the force where he is located is called the "Duzun Fort", the real situation is that he can't even be called the Duzun in the land of Bashu, he is just entertaining himself.

Everyone saw that he had a good relationship with Heavenly Sword Song Que, and they didn't trouble him, and let him expand his power, but it didn't mean that he could say anything in Bashu.

In fact, now Xie Hui is vigorously lobbying various forces in Bashu to promote the strategy of moving closer to Li Valve, and it is just using the power of Li Valve and Buddhism to fake the tiger.

As for the Bashu forces, naturally none of them want to take refuge, they just want to remain neutral and wait for the situation to be completely clear before expressing their position.

After all, who likes someone to press their own head, if they are not forced to do so, who wants to recognize someone else as the boss?

What's more, if the situation is uncertain today, if you bet on the wrong treasure, you will still have to worry about your life.

Therefore, the best choice is not to offend anyone, and it has been dragged on like this, and it is to enjoy peace here. When is it almost time to fight outside, divide the winner and loser, and then turn to the winner?

For the Bashu forces, this is indeed the choice that is most in line with their interests.

However, they forget one thing, that is, the weak have no choice!

Whether it is Datang or Daming, they will not let them stay out of the matter easily, but will fight first.

It's just that Buddhism seems to have another conspiracy, waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to come in the design, which allowed Chengdu to maintain such a grand occasion.

Now that Zhao Mingyuan is here, the situation is naturally different, and there is no chance for the forces in Shuzhong to enjoy peace in peace.

Thinking that his arrival would break the current peaceful scene, there might be countless swords and swords and even rivers of blood flowing here in the near future, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, he naturally does not count everything on his own head like a virgin. Long pain is better than short pain, and this fight is inevitable.

Instead of sighing about the changes that have not yet happened, it is better to enjoy the prosperity of the moment.

So, in the evening, Shi Qingxuan and Zhao Mingyuan came to the lively and prosperous lantern festival together.

The entire lantern festival was decorated like a fairyland with colorful lanterns, and they shuttled through the crowd together to feel the lively atmosphere of the lantern festival.

Roadside food stalls exude an enticing aroma that makes their mouths water. They tried a variety of cuisines and enjoyed the strong local characteristics, and the laughter and the smell of food mingled in the air to create a joyful atmosphere.

At the lantern festival, a group of foreign girls dressed in costumes came from a distance singing and laughing. They are dressed in traditional costumes and show an exotic atmosphere.

The hem is semicircular, the waist is strapped, buckled at the back of the waist, and a pair of triangular floaters are folded and hung down at the back, with a silk embroidery pattern, which is beautiful and eye-catching. The pleated skirt that connects the lower body, like a trumpet flower, shows its graceful and plump when walking, and the skirt pleats swing, such as stepping on the clouds, the virtual and the real are born together, and it is very charming. With dazzling headwear, earrings, and chest hangings, it is dizzying.

Every corner of the lantern festival is hung with exquisite lanterns, representing different meanings and blessings. Colorful lanterns, bright ribbons, and delicate patterns, they illuminate the entire lantern festival and bring joy and warmth to people.

The two strolled along the alley of the lantern festival and came across a huge lantern display area.

The lanterns there come to life, with lanterns of various shapes shaped according to different themes. Fire dragons, phoenixes, Kong Ming lanterns and various animal figures form a world full of life and childlike lights.

They quietly admired each lantern and were fascinated by their unique design and artistic charm.

At the end of the lantern display area, they found a huge stage where traditional dance performances were performed. The beautiful music and dancing will light up the whole lantern festival, and Shi Qingxuan and Zhao Mingyuan are also immersed in it, and their hearts are relaxed.

The night light festival brings infinite joy and good memories to the two.

They lingered together in the lanterns and enjoyed this romantic and unforgettable moment.
