Chapter 62: The Second Prince of the Jin Kingdom
At that time, the official road was already full of red silk threads, and the rows of thousands of bright lights were like the bright moon and stars floating in Tianhe Mountain, shining brightly and melting like the sea. With the continuous blooming fireworks in the sky, it is really like a fairyland of Yao Palace.
Xiao Beichen took Song Wan's hand while aimlessly walking a few steps under the shelf full of lanterns, until a wooden hibiscus lantern broke into his sight..."How can this be sold?" ”
"The guest officer has a good eye, this is the most finely crafted lantern in this vendor, and it sells for five taels of silver."
"Well, I want it" After Xiao Beichen took out a piece of silver and put it on the stall, he reached out and picked up the lantern from the shelf and handed it to Song Wan who was standing aside, and said softly: "The hibiscus flower is delicate and gorgeous, and it is most suitable for Wanwan." ”
"Xiao Beichen, this is the street" Song Wan held the pole of the lantern, although she was happy, she couldn't help but blushing and pulled his sleeve and whispered to stop.
"Hehe" knew that she was thin-skinned, so Xiao Beichen didn't continue to tease her, but just pulled her to the direction of the banquet table on the other side....
"Emperor"
"Ahem, Avena, what do you call me?"
"Less, young master"
"Hmm" Yu Mengchen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, he turned around and admired the lively light market, and reminded in a low voice: "Remember, I am the young master here, don't call it wrong, otherwise your monthly money will not be guaranteed~"
"Don't don't, don't" Avena was so frightened that she immediately raised her right hand and swore: "Young master, young master, I remember, really remember, don't deduct my monthly money, that's Avena's life, young master"
"Stop" Yu Mengchen rubbed his temples in a noisy manner, and thought to himself: He is worthy of being a fan of small wealth, and his obsession with money is really deeper than anything else, even he is....
"Ladies and gentlemen" Yu Mengchen, who was interrupted by the people on the banquet stage, looked over, and only heard: "Fate is destined, the good couple is natural, and the highlight of this year will start soon!" ”
Highlight? "Eh, brother, please stay! What is the highlight of what the above person said, do you know? ”
"Of course, it's wearing a mask to find the right person! And I heard that if the woman finds the Ruyi Langjun today, and the man chases the fair lady, Huayilou will present a valuable dowry and dowry here, and the number of places is not limited, but both parties must agree that it can be counted, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure. ”
"And such a thing?" Yu Mengchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, people in this capital can play, this is simply another way of matchmaker arranged marriage! "What if someone takes the dowry and the dowry and then repents?"
"Oh, Childe, you're from out of town, right?"
"Huh? How can you see that? ”
"As soon as I heard you ask this question, I know that you don't understand the power of Huayilou, in the early years, no one tried to cheat the dowry, but they were all seen through by the shopkeeper Liao, and they were also pulled into the black household, and they were not allowed to participate in the Lantern Festival for life, and in the end, they couldn't even stay in the capital."
"This shopkeeper Liao can force people to go away? Does the court care? ”
"What's the matter, this Lantern Festival is originally something you and I want, not to mention that the person is the first to lose, even if it is sued to the emperor, it is still Liao's shopkeeper who is reasonable, what are you afraid of! Okay, okay, I won't tell you more, I'm going to be in time, so I'll leave first. ”
"Young Master"
Hearing the call, Yu Mengchen looked back, and suddenly saw that Avena had made a mask out of nowhere and put it on her face, and gave him one. "What are you doing?"
"Young master, there are two silver taels" Avena, whose face was completely covered, blinked a pair of weird big eyes, and said excitedly: "We get that valuable thing today, and we will set off to go back tomorrow, when the emperor is far away, we are not from here, and the shopkeeper can't catch us, young master." ”
"What do you mean" Yu Mengchen's eyes darkened, and after lowering herself to meet her eye level, she asked softly, "Do you want to show your heart to me?" ”
"Hmm" Avena nodded heavily, the braids on her chest swayed up and down because of the excited movements, and with her rabbit mask at this time, the whole person exuded a cute and agile atmosphere, which easily made people unable to take their eyes off, at least Yu Mengchen is now!
"Young master, then it's a word, I'll go first~"
"Come back" Yu Mengchen quickly grabbed her wrist, and said helplessly: "What's the hurry, where are you going?" ”
"Young master, didn't you say it just now" Avna looked at him with a disapproving face, and said with disgust: "Acting has to be a full set, we definitely can't rush on stage now" After that, Avna withdrew his hand and explained again: "Young master, you are waiting for me here, I will come back after a circle, when the hour is almost up, we will go up together, this can convince others, okay, I'll go, young master, you are here, don't move." ”
After the words fell, Avena turned around and left the banquet platform, leaving Yu Mengchen alone in the same place... Heh, she's quite good at arranging, who is the master!
"What is this Xiao Beichen doing" Song Wan stood under the willow tree by the banquet table wearing a mask, thinking about the expression he had just now when he said with great interest that he would also participate, and suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness: "If your identity is revealed by someone then, this, how shameful it is!" The more she thought about it, the more panicked Song Wan shook her head helplessly again, why was she crazy with him? What's the difference between this and a thief, this guy is really messing around!
"How did it take so long?" Yu Mengchen saw a rabbit mask under the willow tree, thinking that Avna had finally gone and returned, so he walked over and asked.
Hearing this, Song Wan looked back at the person who came, and both sides were stunned for a moment, even if they were both wearing masks, they could tell from each other's eyes that this was not her/him!
"Sorry girl, I recognized the wrong person."
"It's all right, you"
"Ahh Help, there are assassins, murder, help..."
The cry for help from the south interrupted what Song Wan wanted to say, she looked up, and saw a large number of black-clothed people suddenly rushing out of there, all holding sharp knives and stabbing at the innocent people beside her.... Seeing this, Song Wan's eyes lit up, and without saying much, she pulled out her soft sword and stepped forward to join the battle!
"Girl" Yu Mengchen turned around and wanted to persuade her to wait for the guards to arrive, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, and it is really not the best strategy to rush forward. Before he finished speaking, the person was already flying over like a gust of wind, and he couldn't stop it!
Boom, bang... Seeing that she was about to lose the upper hand after dealing with everyone alone for a few rounds, Yu Mengchen frowned slightly, although he didn't want to make more trouble here, but it didn't seem very good to let him watch a woman fight alone here, right? Well, it's not the big husband's doing! Thinking of this, Yu Mengchen reluctantly lifted the jade fan and stepped forward, and passively joined the battle....
Burst... After all the people in black had fallen, Song Wan quickly pressed their acupuncture points, and finally vomited a mouthful of blood from exhaustion! "Are you alright?"
"Nope"
"Wanwan" Xiao Beichen ran over with the people and horses, and when he saw that there were blood stains on his mouth, he immediately said anxiously: "But where is the injury?" ”
"It's fine, it's just that I suffered some internal injuries, it's okay" Song Wan pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "The man in black is not good, the top priority is to put all of them in prison, and make plans after the interrogation, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor." ”
"Hmm" Xiao Beichen turned back to the guards and ordered, "Take them back and wait for them to fall." ”
"Yes!"
"Young master, are you alright?"
Seeing Avena running over from the other side in shock, Yu Mengchen shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "What can I do, besides, if I wait for your girl to come back to save the driver, I'm afraid I will be assassinated several times." ”
"Uh.... Young Master" Avna touched the bridge of her nose in embarrassment, and said secretly: Who knew that it was such a coincidence, she had just walked a little farther, and an assassin appeared here, and this can't be all blamed on her....
"Just thanks to the help of this son, I was able to subdue those men in black so quickly" After saying that, Song Wan glanced at Xiao Beichen on the side and signaled: "Since you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, shouldn't you ask the son to go back to the house, so that it is convenient for the good students to ask for details, so that you can also find some clues from it, right?" ”
"In this case, then listen to Wanwan" When the words fell, Xiao Beichen waved his hand and said, "Come on, take these two distinguished guests back to the house, and wait for them." ”
"Wait" Avna stopped in front of Yu Mengchen, looked at Xiao Beichen, who seemed to be a bad comer, and dared to obstruct it: "The son's kindness has been received, my young master still has something to do, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to go to the mansion, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Is it" Xiao Beichen glanced up, and saw that he always looked at ease and calm, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Then why don't you ask your young master if he is willing to go back to the house with us?" ”
"Young Master"
"Okay" Yu Mengchen stepped forward and patted Avena on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Since Childe is so sincere, then we will bother, please." ”
"Young Master" Avna pulled his sleeve anxiously, and was still thinking about what to persuade him, but he interrupted the words first, "It's okay, let's go"....
In the house, Xiao Beichen went to the prison with Meng Yu as soon as he returned, leaving Song Wan and Yu Mengchen alone to sit in the hall, silent for a while..."You go down first"
"Yes, Imperial Princess!"
Imperial Princess? Yu Mengchen heard this, looked at Song Wan in front of him carefully, and secretly thought that this is the beautiful woman Xiao Beichen Feiqing does not marry? Well, it does have a bit of a posture, and he was bold enough when he killed the enemy just now, no wonder that guy is so precious!
"The second prince came from the Jin Kingdom thousands of miles away, and he inevitably missed the welcome, so he had to make this decision as a last resort, and I hope the second prince will forgive me."
"Oh? You know me? Yu Mengchen raised her eyebrows in surprise, but after thinking about it, since she was the imperial concubine, it was not surprising that Xiao Beichen had mentioned herself to her.
"What I saw just now is the Imperial Dragon Hall, right? This is the unique killing move and weapon of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the pretty man you are following is really not like a person from the capital, so I just have the courage to guess. ”
"Haha, no wonder Beichen often says that your intelligence and strategy are not inferior to anyone, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."
"The second prince praised it falsely" Song Wan smiled back politely, and said secretly: What is it, but in the previous life, she really fought against the second prince on the battlefield, and she also lost! This is the only defeat in her combat career, and only then will she frantically collect information about this person, thinking that she will know herself and her opponent, and she will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and then she will find out that he and the four princes of the Jin Kingdom are close friends! As for how the two met.... Song Wan's eyes flashed, I'm afraid it was the legendary "Battle of Mukan"....
