Chapter 163: Chinese New Year's Eve
Time flies.
Finally, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.
The streets of Qingzhou City are very lively.
I only heard the sound of "bang", and the sound of firecrackers exploded, and large white snowflakes exploded on the ground.
On the long street, peddlers and pawns, adults and children are all crowded together, and it is very lively.
This year's government is also very powerful, deliberately hung red lanterns on both sides of the moat, because of the cold weather, the river has formed a thick layer of ice, the lights will illuminate the ice surface brightly, from time to time there are naughty children running and frolicking on it, watching the lively.
The small traders are also not under jurisdiction tonight, and they can set up stalls everywhere in the city, and those people shout loudly at the top of their voices, silk tea, rouge gouache, household utensils, water, wine and snacks, and fireworks...... But there are all kinds of pleasing knick-knacks, everything.
At the end of the long street, the proprietress of Chunmanlou wore a newly made water-red silk wide-brimmed deep coat, standing at the door and stretching her neck into the distance from time to time. Although it was the weather of the cold winter wax moon, she still shook the fan embroidered with red plum branches, and the collar on the chest was opened very low, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
"Song Gongzi, I accompanied my sister out to go shopping again, and I came to sit with us when I have time!"
The proprietress waved her fan and smiled.
Song Helan suddenly blushed, waved his hand again and again, and said no, no.
Song Anning looked at it and wanted to laugh.
"Big brother, my mother said that she wanted to marry a wife for you, which girl do you fancie? If you are too shy to speak, you can tell me, and I will go to see each other for you in the name of walking at my daughter's house, and see how the other party's character is. ”
Song Helan's face turned even redder, and he said with a serious face: "Men should focus on their careers, I'm not very old, why rush to start a family?" ”
Song Anning disagreed and shook his head.
"That's not what I said, it is said that you have to start a family and start a business, you have to become a family before you have the heart to start a business, otherwise your mind is on the general affairs of life, and how much energy do you have to take care of business?"
"Listen to me, marry me a sister-in-law first, and have a new pair of children, then there will be a sister-in-law to take care of at home, you can do whatever you want outside, there are no worries, and we will definitely be able to take care of our family's business more prosperous."
Song Helan blushed and refused to speak.
At this time, Song Xingzhi shouted: "There is juggling in front, are we going to see juggling?" ”
Song Helan was stunned for a moment, glanced at his younger brother gratefully, and hurriedly said, "Little sister, let's go, let's watch the juggling." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Song Anning and squeezed forward.
Song Anning knew that his brother was deliberately avoiding the topic, and he was a little helpless, but he didn't want to push too much.
She just said a few more words when she got up, as for whether her brothers marry or not, the decision is still up to them, and she has no reason to make a decision for them.
The three brothers and sisters finally squeezed into the crowd, and a group of people watched the juggling and watched the excitement, but they didn't know that the danger was approaching at this time.
Not far away in a corner.
The two men in coarse linen clothes looked in the direction where Song Anning was, and said in a deep voice: "Is that her?" ”
"Well, I saw her go to Tiangangzhai with my own eyes before, Lin Feng only had contact with her before he died, that thing must be in her hands."
"Okay, then let's do it."
"Well, let's do it."
As the two spoke, they took out a black scarf from their arms, covered their faces, and flew out and rushed into the crowd.
Song Anning was watching the excitement with the two brothers, and suddenly, his arms tightened, and the next second, his body flew up after him, and he was carried away by two masked men.
She only had time to let out a scream, and at the same time, the people next to her also noticed the unusual movement here, and followed the scream.
Song Xingzhi and Song Helan were stunned, shouted "little sister", and quickly chased after them.
However, they don't know martial arts, and where can they catch up with these two who have achieved light skills, seeing that the little sister is about to be robbed, the two of them are so anxious that they are sweating profusely.
But at this moment, a white figure fell from the sky.
The figure was like a dragon, stabbing, picking, pushing and dodging, and easily snatched Song Anning over, and then the tip of the sword pulled up a snowy sword flower, and the two masked men were suddenly seriously injured and fell from mid-air.
"Bang!"
The two smashed to the ground.
Pei Qingyan took Song Anning to fall from the sky, first let go of Song Anning, and then stepped on one person's chest, and the tip of the sword was against the other person's neck, and asked coldly, "Who sent you?" ”
The two looked at each other, but no one would say anything, and as soon as they bit their teeth, they committed suicide by biting poison.
Song Anning was taken aback.
Pei Qingyan frowned.
At this time, Su Zi'an finally ran over out of breath.
"My lord, I said you, you...... Can you wait for me next time, I, I really can't catch up, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw two dead people lying on the ground, and jumped back in fright.
"! He's dead? ”
Pei Qingyan coldly threw the sword to him, "When you come, the corpse is cold." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and walked in the direction of Song Anning.
"Are you alright?"
Song Anning glared at him in astonishment.
As if I couldn't believe that what I saw could be true.
Pei Qingyan smiled.
He raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "What, stupid? ”
Song Anning came back to his senses.
Before she could speak, at this time, Song Xingzhi and Song Helan also rushed over.
Seeing Pei Qingyan, they were also a little surprised, but they still arched their hands and said: "I didn't expect Master Pei to be here, thank you Lord Pei for saving my little sister, if we hadn't met Master Pei, we wouldn't know how to go home tonight to explain to our father and mother." ”
Pei Qingyan smiled lightly: "You're polite." ”
Song Xingzhi looked at the two people on the ground who had lost their breath.
"Who are these two?"
Pei Qingyan said: "It should be a spy from the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”
Song Xing was shocked.
"Southern Tang people? How could they be in Qingzhou? ”
Pei Qingyan looked at Song Anning.
Song Anning didn't speak, but she could also realize that something was wrong, she frowned and said, "These people are here to assassinate me?" ”
Pei Qingyan said: "To be precise, I want to arrest you and torture something out of your mouth." ”
Song Anning was puzzled, "What can I do that is worth their torture?" ”
Pei Qingyan looked around.
"This is not the place to talk, pick a place and let's sit together."
Song Helan and Song Xingzhi both saw that things were a little unexpected, so they said respectfully: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the inns and liquor stores in the city are closed for the New Year, if Master Pei doesn't mind, it is better to go to the cold house to sit down, so that your brothers under your hand can drink a cup of hot wine and relieve their fatigue." ”
Pei Qingyan had no opinion.
"Then it's going to trouble Brother Song."
"You're welcome."
A group of people walked towards the Song Mansion.
