Night falls, and the waning moon hangs high.

In the northern section of Nancheng Street, a luxuriously decorated carriage is slowly turning into the crowded night market.

Through the curtain of the window lattice, Qian Ling'er looked at the brightly lit and constantly moving lanterns, and she showed a faint smile, which looked extremely beautiful.

The little maid beside her, who was leaning on the cat, leaned in the back, her big smart eyes were constantly looking at her, and she said happily: "Madame, look, it's on Nancheng Street, wow~ There are so many people!"

Todd, who was sitting on the opposite side, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said lightly: "You instigated the master to come out?"

The little maid, who should have been full of joy, suddenly became cringe, and buried her head nervously, hesitating, not knowing how to answer.

And Qian Ling'er turned around and took the little maid's hand, patted it, and looked at Tao De: "It's none of her business, the courtyard is stuffy, it's good to come out to breathe." ”

Seeing that the lady was protecting herself and exculpating herself, the little maid was moved in her heart, so she raised her head boldly and said: "Master Hou, it's not good to be a slave and a maid......"

Before she could finish speaking, Todd had already opened his eyes and said in a flat tone: "Turn around and go to the account office to get ten taels of silver." ”

"Uh...?!" the little maid was a little confused!

He obviously instigated his master to go out, how could Master Hou not only not punish her, but even give her back the silver? Is the Hou Ye going to drive her out of the Hou Mansion?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly begged: "Master Hou, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, don't drive the slave and maid away, the slave and the maid will never dare in the future." ”

Qian Ling'er looked at the little maid beside her, with a nervous look, and laughed out loud: "Stupid Nizi, he is rewarding you." ”

"Slave and maid?" the little maid turned her head to look at Todd in disbelief, not knowing ......whether it was true or not.

After thinking about it, she gradually cried: "Master Hou, don't scare the slave maid, the slave doesn't want silver, the slave just wants to follow the lady ......." ”

Todd saw that if he didn't speak, it was estimated that this little maid would be stupid to death.

So he shook his head and smiled lightly: "If you can make your master laugh, you will have merit, and you will be rewarded for your merit." ”

The little maid was stunned for a while, with her limited comprehension ability, she couldn't understand her master's thoughts at all! , only to encourage Mrs. But Hou Ye not only didn't blame, but gave him a reward, the reason was that Mrs. smiled?

Thinking of this, she looked at Qian Ling'er and saw that the lady at this moment was looking at the night market with a smile through the window screen.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and came to a conclusion!

Madame's smile is worth a lot.... ’

At the same time, Tao Chengwen, who was driving the car in person outside the car, happened to say loudly: "Master Hou, the flow of people is increasing, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel." ”

Without waiting for Tao De to speak, Qian Ling'er looked at Tao De: "Get out of the car and walk, through the gauze curtain, you are always depressed." ”

Todd, who was still a little hesitant, heard Qian Ling'er's words, and immediately smiled and nodded.

And just as he helped Qian Ling'er out of the carriage, a young man nearly eight feet tall walked in the oblique, it was Tao Chengwu.

Seeing Tao Chengwu's strange expression, Tao De instructed Tao Chengwen: "You accompany Madame, I'll be there later." ”

Tao Chengwen saw that his second brother was coming, and he knew that there must be something to report, so he hugged his fists and saluted, "No!" and then followed Qian Ling'er and the little maid who were watching around.

Todd stood next to the car, retracted his gaze at Qian Ling'er's back, and his smile slowly faded.

He walked closer to Tao Chengwu, who was about to speak, and said lightly: "Let the guards spread among the people and follow Mrs. Qian." ”

Tao Chengwu listened to the lord's command, hurriedly turned his head, looked at the guards who were hiding the crowd around him, and then waved his hand.

The guards had already nodded knowingly, and hid towards Qian Ling'er and the others not far ahead.

Seeing that the guards had gone, Todd smiled with satisfaction: "Say it." ”

Tao Chengwu bowed and saluted, and said ashamedly: "Tell the lord that his subordinates are not doing well, and one of them was rescued." ”

"Huh?" Todd's brows instantly froze, as if he was displeased!

He turned his head to look at Tao Chengwu, who was bowing down and didn't dare to look up, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Tao Chengwu hurriedly told the story of the incident and told it one by one.

Hearing Tao Chengwu's narration, Tao De then murmured: "Monk, is there still a monk to help Beiyan, but why are you merciful to your subordinates?"

Seeing that the lord was puzzled, Tao Chengwu explained: "Lord, those two monks and the boy of the Beiyan Xu family should not know each other and have no friendship. On the contrary, you may know the lord. ”

"Oh, do you know me?" Tao De looked at Tao Chengwu with a slightly curious smile: "Let's hear it." ”

Tao Chengwu nodded, then untied the long sword at his waist, and offered it with both hands: "That man gave me this mortal mid-level sword weapon, and called out the name of the lord, and only said that if he took away the Beiyan boy, the lord will definitely not blame." ”

When the lord saw the long sword in his hand, his eyes lit up

Flickering, Tao Chengwu suddenly felt that what the young monk said should be true.

Then he continued, "The man will also bring a message to the lord." ”

"Say it quickly. When Tao De heard this, he immediately looked at Tao Chengwu, and his expression was slightly excited!

When Tao Chengwu saw it, he hurriedly replied: "That person only said four words, 'take care of her'." ”

"Take care of... She ...... teacher" Todd was about to blurt out the word 'junior brother'.

But when he saw Tao Chengwu looking at him puzzled, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "Then the Beiyan boy, let him go." ”

As he spoke, he returned the long sword to Tao Chengwu, who looked puzzled: "This is what he gave you, then you can keep it." By the way, do you know what he cultivates?"

When it came to cultivation, Tao Chengwu, who was still puzzled about taking the long sword, suddenly exclaimed again and again: "Lord, that person's strength is unfathomable, but the subordinates around him, when they look at the little girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, their cultivation is far superior to that of their subordinates, and they even beat their subordinates to the point that they have no power to fight back! If that person hadn't appeared, it is estimated that his subordinates would have confessed there." ”

After hearing this, Todd looked at the night sky with a small smile: "Peace is good, peace is good." ”

Seeing that the lord seemed to care about himself, Tao Chengwu was grateful in his heart: "The lord doesn't want to say this, your subordinates failed to complete the task, and you are already grateful for not punishing ......"

When Tao De heard this, he looked back in amazement, and then laughed dumbly, he pointed at Tao Chengwu with a smile: "Chengwu, you~!"

Tao Chengwu looked a little puzzled: "Lord, what's wrong with me?"

"It's okay!" Todd waved his hand and praised, "Not only are you guilty, but you also have merit." ”

"Meritorious?" Tao Chengwu suddenly blurred.

Seeing Tao Chengwu's puzzled look, Tao De walked forward slowly, muttering to himself: "Meritorious, meritorious reward, all rewarded." ”

Looking at the lord who slowly left with his hands in his hands, Tao Chengwu really couldn't understand, where was this merit? But he was also an open-minded person, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't want to, who wouldn't be able to appreciate it?

Thinking of this, he followed Todd and thanked him without saying anything.

......

On Nancheng Street.

Although night has fallen at this moment, there is a crowd of people on the streets of Nancheng. The lanterns of the shops on both sides of the night market are hung high, especially the wine shops and various snack shops, etc., which can be said to be everywhere, and the shouting and cheering are endless, and the excitement is extraordinary.

The most dazzling ones are, of course, those lanterns of various colors. There are birds and animals, and there are huge fairy lanterns towering above the market, and the most common is naturally the lotus lamp. In short, there are many kinds of variety, which dazzles the viewer and dizzies.

Today, it is the annual lantern festival of Zhao Kingdom, also known as the Prayer Festival. Every festival, the street is not closed at night, the lights are colorful, and the lights are paraded in the market.

And why is the Lantern Festival called the Festival of Prayer?

Prayer is naturally the meaning of prayer and hope, and the fate is needless to say, it is the meaning of marriage. Therefore, on this Nancheng Street, there are still most young men and women. There are harmonious couples who whisper with lanterns, there are crazy men and women who go to the river to pray with lotus lanterns, and there are talented and beautiful women who hold wishes and post them on various street lamps.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was carrying a small lotus lantern, and beside him, there was a handsome young man in white who nodded and bowed. Obviously, this young man with a flattering face is the illusion of the second dog.

Looking at the second dog who kept laughing and flattering, passers-by all showed contempt and pointed at each other, 'Blind this good face......

In order not to cause trouble, in the end, Luo Yu still let the second dog turn into a human form.

Looking at Xiao Fan, who was looking around in front of him, who was overjoyed, and the second dog who nodded and bowed, Luo Yu finally locked his eyes on the second dog's hand.

This phantom cloud beast is also strange, no matter what kind of character he changes, there will be a dog's tail in his hand to whisk dust! It seems that his transfiguration technique cannot completely hide this big tail, so he has to change it to a dusty .......

I saw that there were many people, who were writing on the huge matchmaker and the old moon lantern, and posted red prayer stripes.

Xiao Fan suddenly pointed not far away happily, turned around and said excitedly: "Childe, childe, look at that! It's fun! Let's go write it too?"

Looking at Xiao Fan, who suddenly had a whim, Luo Yu smiled helplessly: "Who is it for?"

"Just write and play. Xiao Fan said casually, thought about it, and looked at Luo Yu tentatively: "Do you want to write Ling'er ......?"

When Luo Yu heard this, he sighed again.

Xiaofan had to stick out his tongue....

And at this moment, on the top of a red building on the right, there was a sudden sound of warblers and swallows.

"Yo~ Look at that man in white, he is so handsome!"

"Yes~!Childe come up?"

“......”

Looking up, looking at the side of the railing, the ring is thin and fat, and there are all kinds of pretty women

Child.

The second dog is stupid, and he is going to droop three feet! He squinted happily: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable, the second master... The second master is a cultivator, a cultivator. ”

Looking at the handsome boy who stopped and was constantly fiddling with the dust, he looked fake. On the Red Mansion, a burst of coquettish laughter suddenly erupted.

Obviously, Luo Yu, who was also standing beside Ergouzi, looking up to the sky, was directly ignored by Luo Yu, who was mediocre at the moment.

People can't help but sigh that no matter how high or low, whether they are rich or poor, they all yearn for 'beauty'... Good.

At this moment, Xiao Fan heard laughter from upstairs on the right, and she looked back in amazement.

Seeing the two dogs at this moment, it was like being cast a spell of fixation, and they couldn't walk half a step. She looked at the group of bewitching women upstairs, and immediately frowned, and asked Luo Yu, who was beside her, who also looked up and nodded in appreciation: "Son, how can they be so scantily clothed, so shameless? What is this place?"

Luo Yu still couldn't take his eyes off it, looking up at the purple and red, as if admiring, as if replying: "Pleasing others with your own posture is also hard work, bitter and happy." ”

"With your own posture, please...?" Xiao Fan muttered, and suddenly her face turned ashamed, and she suddenly realized: "Red Mansion?!"

Seeing that the son was still nodding and commenting, Xiao Fan suddenly blushed.

But when she saw the stupid appearance of the second dog, she raised her foot in shame and kicked it, and at the same time said, "Shameless." ”

The second dog turned around in a panic, and suddenly returned to nodding his head. But when he saw Luo Yu, who was still standing up and looking up, he instantly felt aggrieved and looked at Xiao Fan with angry eyes.

Xiao Fan said unhappily: "What do you see, Gongzi is the master, isn't it right to hold his head high?"

"It's... It makes sense!" Ergouzi couldn't find fault with it, so he had to close his eyes and nod: "Yes, yes, Xiaozu, everything you say is right." ”

At this moment, the sound of laughter on the red mansion was endless.

"Yo~, this little girl is weird and fierce?I just don't know if there is a slave family 'fierce'?" said that, the charming woman who spoke and laughed straightened up with a 'magnificent' posture.

The second dog, who was caught off guard, instantly gushed out of his nosebleeds.

Luo Yu frowned instantly, and muttered in a serious admiration: "The woman is very good... Very good!"

Xiao Fan was embarrassed and annoyed with his little face, that angry! In the face of the two dogs who were not angry, it was a violent beating! But even in the face of Xiao Fan, the stormy little fist, the two dogs still roared and 'roared', constantly taking the opportunity to secretly look up to the sky and 'peep'!

A fight, not long after.

Luo Yu and the three of them have been temporarily resting in a wine shop on the street.

At this moment, although the two dogs look handsome, the appearance is a little unsatisfactory!

Staring at the second dog who was gobbling up with disgust, Xiao Fan muttered: "Virtue, like a hungry wolf." ”

The second dog grabbed the oily big chicken leg, and comfortably nibbled while pouting: "Second master... It was originally a wolf.... ”

"You...!hum~!" Xiao Fan was speechless for a while, and then she ...... With both hands stretched out, there was a shiny roast chicken in his hands!

The smile of the desire for food suddenly revealed Xiao Fan's face. She feasted on a large amount, and the exaggerated throughput shocked the two dogs, and the speed in her mouth was significantly faster...

Taking a sip of the wine in the glass, through the open window, Luo Yu looked at the red stage opposite the window.

"Bell~!" gongs and drums sounded, and it was three quarters of a time.

The drama is swimming, and the sound and sleeves dance on the red stage.

At this moment, although there are many people watching the play, the surroundings are orderly, and they are all listening carefully, as if they don't want to miss a word, a song and a tune...

The applause came from time to time from the people in the audience.

And there is a play on the stage, dressed as a scholar in a green shirt, singing with his sleeves in front of the stage... It seems that in the previous life, I occasionally heard the tune of Kunqu Opera, and the sound was long, meaning that the jade fingers flowed in ......the heart.

“... The play folds, and the water sleeves rise and fall. Singing joys and sorrows, singing clutches, has nothing to do with me. The fan opens and closes, and the gongs and drums sound silently. Love in the play, outsiders, who can say it. I am accustomed to integrating joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the powder, and what about singing and wearing the lyrics, I am all white, blue and gray....... Even if no one knows my ......" (quoted from: song "Chiling", lyrics: Kiyohiko.......) It's a nice song. ）

The wine cup hovered quietly in front of him, and Luo Yu muttered: "Champion love?... Is it...?"

Hearing this, he laughed to himself, and was about to drink the liquor from the lamp.

But at this moment, he looked at the stage not far away, the figure that was about to break into his eyes...!

His hands trembled unconsciously!

"Bang~!" the cup fell to the ground, and the wine splashed on the placket.

Xiao Fan and Ergouzi, who were gobbling up and 'fighting' with each other, suddenly froze and peeked at it......
