The winter snow melts away, the firecrackers occasionally ring in the streets, the Lantern Festival is approaching, every household posts new couplets, and children in new clothes play with their companions at the door of their own homes, and are scolded by their mothers under the eaves, and obediently go back to the yard.

During the disturbing New Year, the city is full of lively scenes, monkey plays, juggling, guessing lantern riddles, restaurants, green buildings, and tea shops are full of friends, and many literati and elegant guests gather at this time to chat, or write lyrics according to the New Year's poems.

“...... The above brother is wonderful, and the wonders of living in the same room with a woman during the solar term are describing it is desirable, it can be described as a talented and beautiful woman, dry firewood and fire!"

"Oh, by the way, you've noticed a lot of soldiers on the streets lately. ”

"The solar terms of the Lantern Festival, how dare you be negligent. ”

“..... But I heard that someone seems to want to rebel......"

"Be cautious and don't mention state affairs. ”

Outside the noisy restaurant, the performance of the celebration of the festival, the gongs and suona blowing and blowing covered up the noise of the long street, and the people who stopped on the street looked at the dragon and lion dance procession, and the sonorous sound passed.

The atmosphere on the street was very lively, a restaurant adjacent to Baiguanfushe Street, someone came in from outside, crossed a few men with arms around them, and went up the stairs with a pummer, not far from the private room, there was a beautiful sound of music, the man carefully knocked on the door, heard the door creak open a crack, and hurriedly took out a folded letter from his arms and handed it in.

Then, the door closed silently.

A beardless man with a letter in his hand, stooping around the singing trick over there, came to a first place, and whispered a word.

"Sir. ”

Opposite him, there was a man in a gorgeous costume with a thick beard and a calm temperament, holding a wine glass, looking at the long sleeves fluttering over there, twisting his waist, hearing the words called, he reached out to take the letter presented, unfolded it and glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

"The national teacher is back......"

Yang Guang took a sip of the wine in the glass, laughed, and didn't care that there was a trick in the private room, he walked to the fence with both hands, looking at the lively long street outside, the sky was about to dark, and the lamp was going to be hung on the street, he had always liked to be lively, tonight's Lantern Festival, just out of the palace to see, and by the way, he also looked at the opposite Baiguanfushe Street.

"When the national teacher returns to the city, I can rest assured that I can do it, how is the situation outside?"

"Everything was in order. The beardless man was a eunuch, his voice was hoarse and sharp, and between the sneers, the orchid finger gestured.

"There are a lot of black dogs in the city, even if it is a national teacher, it is ......"

"Huh?"

The emperor standing in front of the fence frowned, looked sideways, and realized that the eunuch who had said the wrong thing knelt on the ground and slapped him in the face, which startled the singer over there, and he didn't know what was going on.

Yang Guang stared at the servant fiercely, and waved his wide sleeves at the trick over there: "Keep singing, keep dancing!" turned around, kicked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "Dog thing!"

The eunuch panicked, crawled over on his knees, kowtowed hard, and was kicked to the ground by the emperor, and heard Yang Guang's voice say: "If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will cut off your head!"

The whispered words drifted outside, the night will be dark, disturbing the crowded streets, there are orders to ride fast, the four gates of Chang'an are closed, the soldiers transferred from the imperial city take over the defense, on the city wall, the archers stand in a forest facing the city, and the farther imperial city, horses' hooves and people's footsteps are roaring on the street tiles, and they are rushing to the Baiguanfu Street from all directions.

In the light of the lighted torches, Yuwen Chengdu looked at the outline of the mansion in the distant night, grinding his teeth, and feeling a little sour.

The reputation of the Duke of Yue, he has known it for a long time, his prestige in the army is extremely heavy, and he also has the Dao of Immortals, he didn't believe it at first, but that time he followed the national teacher to Jiangnan for a trip, so he couldn't be cautious.

Fortunately, the black dogs in the whole city collected by His Majesty, the clothes and armor of the Imperial City Forbidden Army are all soaked in black dog blood at the moment, as long as they are not affected by spells, in terms of martial arts, Yuwen Chengdu is still confident that he will be with one of them.

What's more, there are so many soldiers.

The adjacent streets around the Baiguan Mansion were surrounded by the Yin of the Chang'an Mansion, who had already received the order, to empty the streets, including the soldiers of the Imperial Palace, and the forbidden army of the Imperial City went out to besiege the entire street, just waiting for the Kong Ming lantern that transmitted the signal to rise into the night sky, and then spread towards the Guogong Mansion.

“...... Yue Guogong, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for your prestige. ”

Yuwen Chengdu subconsciously looked back at the restaurant with the emperor, took a deep breath, turned around, and asked his subordinates to carry his phoenix wings gilt boring, and slowly hung down to the ground.

......

On the side of the mansion opposite the general's field of vision, the side door leading to the alley outside opened slightly, and four figures flickered out of it, and a faint muttering voice said: "Tonight's Lantern Festival, the four of us and the other brothers just happened to be with those elegant people to chant poetry, and we can't stay in the mansion every day." ”

"What my brother said is that you can also guess the lantern riddle and get some small bargains, haha. ”

"Maybe there will be a little lady who sees me and other four Jiangnan talents, and her heart is ..... spring"

Out of the courtyard gate, the man who was still talking turned around and slammed into the back of the scholar in front of him, covering his sore nose and pushing the other party.

"Brother Ma, why stop. ”

As soon as the words fell, even the two people next to them were stunned, at the end of both sides of the street, there was a torch light, and under the bright light, there were all armor soldiers wearing armor and holding knives, looking at them fiercely.

Mutter~~

The fourth scholar rolled his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly moved his steps back, reopened the door and flashed in, bumped the courtyard door with a bang, and gasped against the door.

"See? There were a lot of soldiers out there. ”

"Could it be that tonight's Lantern Festival, someone is in turmoil, and His Majesty specially sent soldiers to protect the Guogong Mansion?"

When the word 'Your Majesty' was mentioned, the eyes of the four people suddenly widened, and they looked at each other, remembering that not long ago the eunuch led the guards to visit the Duke of Yueguo, and their hearts jumped violently.

In the exclamation and shouting, the four of them jumped all the way back to the courtyard, took the bookshelves of the past, opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes in one go, and then rushed to the desk, picked up pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books and other things, stuffed the bookshelves together, and carried them to the back.

In the four rooms, the four people came out almost at the same time, nodded smartly, and walked outside together.

"Wait....." Wang Feng suddenly spoke, stopping the other three brothers. "We are also loyal and righteous people, how can we just leave, at least inform Yue Guogong of the outside affairs first. ”

"Brother loyalty!" the three of them were in awe.

At this time, outside the Guogong Mansion, the night wind blew through the street, Yuwen Chengdu stroked the horse's mane, estimated the hour, and raised his hand: "Raise the lamp." ”

......

On the lively long street, Lu Liangsheng looked at the lion dance walking by the street with Honglian and Qiyou, his mane was flying, his eyes were shaking his head and shaking his head under the operation of people, and he was about to roar.

Soon, as if sensing something, the scholar turned his gaze over the roof, and a bright paper lamp rose into the night sky in the distance.

On the street of Baiguan's mansion, countless footsteps roared and spread.
