He Yi slept until late at night the next day.

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Gongliang Ju to summon the officials in Huyang City to go to the Taishou Mansion overnight, and take out the book written by Liu Yi in the mansion.

Fifty sword and axe men stood on both sides of the hall, and under the sharp blades, even if these Huyang officials wanted to admit it or not, they had to weigh whether their necks were hard or not.

This quick knife cutting through the mess, although clumsy, is also very effective.

The matter has been put to an end for the time being.

...... ......

Huyang City under the night sky was brightly lit, and the falling snowflakes were blurry and enlarged in front of He Yi's eyes, illusory and unreal.

He Yi climbed to the center of Huyang City, a pavilion at the highest point, and looked at the streets below that were full of lights, and the pedestrians who came out one after another, slightly fascinated.

In the light and shadow woven by the fluorescent lights, the flames jumped like living beings.

The fervent life, surrounded by the solid and cold lines of the distant mountains outside the city, formed an unusually stark contrast.

One is still, one is moving;

One is cold, one is hot;

A silence, a fuss.

And this transition point between stillness and movement is the strong and strong city wall in the distance, the soldiers who tirelessly guard the city gates, the industrious officials who deal with civil affairs day and night, and the spirit and will to willingly dedicate everything to the people in the city.

With this, the city is the place where people can live.

Whatever is missing, a warm life will turn into a harsh existence.

He Yi deeply understands this truth.

Moreover, he felt that this was an incomparably simple, incomparably simple, incomparably pure truth.

But why, there are always so many people in this world who don't understand?

...... ......

"Lord, tonight is the Yuanxiao Lantern Festival, don't you go down and take a look?" Jia Shao was silent behind He Yi for a long time, and suddenly said.

Jia Shao and He Yi think differently, or his thoughts have always been very simple.

If someone bullies, he will fight back, and if someone bullies He Yi, then fight back with his life, because he is He Yi's guard, that's all.

Therefore, Jia Shao, who has never been to the county town, even if he has long been deeply attracted by the lights and Yan Shan in the streets, he must first ask He Yi's opinion.

This is a respect that is recognized and affirmed.

"Yuanxiao Lantern Festival ......" He Yi could see Jia Shao's desire to go out to play, and couldn't help but wonder.

After all, Jia Shao is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.......

He suddenly remembered that there was still a promise with him, so he said, "Let's go, go out for a walk." ”

When Jia Shao heard this, a flower suddenly appeared on his face.

...... ......

Baibohu is located in the north of Huyang City, and the water in the moat extends from this Baibohu.

The reason why it is named "white waves" is because every spring and summer, countless white lotus flowers grow in this lake, and when they are blown by the wind, they will form layers of undulating white waves.

At this time, although the winter has passed, the residual cold is still very cold, so naturally you can't enjoy this beautiful scenery.

But the people of the city were clearly wiser.

They pushed lotus-shaped lightboats into Baibo Lake, and hundreds of thousands gathered together, although not as natural as real flowers, but also quite ingenious.

"Xiao Shao, you can just go shopping! I'll walk by myself. ”

Now that Huyang has been decided, there will basically be no more danger.

Liu Yi was also secretly killed by Liao Qianzhong and Du Dao, and took his head as a vote for He Yi again.

This time, He Yi did not refuse, and he even agreed very happily.

Not for anything else, but because he needs a keen ear.

And that ear is the former Wantong disciple ———— Liao Qianzhong.

As for Du Dao, as an accessory to accept Liao Qianzhong, He Yi included it under his command, which was really helpless.

He really didn't want to be in the company of cultivators, but sometimes, not everything could go his way.

"Think of it as mutual use. He Yi muttered to himself.

Passing through the Baibo Lake, a group of people watching the lanterns, He Yi came to the ferry, rented a small boat with the boatman, and drove towards the lake.

In the center, a painted boat can be faintly seen, and the swaying candlelight reflects a mysterious outline.

The night breeze swept in, pushing a few lotus lanterns to the side of the boat, echoing the moonlight, making it even more beautiful.

———— Yuanxiao Lantern Festival, on Baibo Lake. In the building boat, I hope to see you.

"Who will it be?" This pleasing scenery made He Yi's mood very good, and he was also a little curious about the owner of the painted boat.

When they got in, the appearance of the painted boat became a little clearer.

I saw a woman in red, sitting at the bow of the boat with her back to He Yi, holding a comb and carefully combing her hair.

The figure under the moon is reflected in the water, a little pity, a little softness, a little melancholy, and a little charming.

The woman spoke, and a song came faintly:

The sage does not return the three passes,

Tu Shan is waiting for people.

Although there are many ways in the world,

There are few lovers in the world.

At the end of this song, the comb that was halfway down in the woman's hand suddenly stopped.

Then he sighed: "There are few lovers in the world." ”

The first two sentences of the song said that when Dayu controlled the water, he passed the door three times and did not enter, so that Dayu's wife Tu Shan's family missed the disease.

As for the last two sentences, it is a little woman's mentality of suffering from gains and losses, to lament the dissatisfaction with Dayu, which roughly means: There are so many people in the world who work together to control the water, but you are so affectionate and incomprehensible that you can't even take out the time to go into the house to see?

"It's a sentimental girl. He Yi shrugged his shoulders, and for some reason suddenly became interested, and then sang back:

Sacrifice yourself for today's events,

The incarnation of the bear is not willing!

If the water of the nine rivers is not cured,

Where is there a lover in the world?

When the woman heard this, she was stunned.

looked back, but when he saw the thin figure on the lonely boat, when he looked at each other, he was smiling.

At this moment, the stars and moon in the sky were eclipsed.

......

It turned out to be her? He Yi was slightly stunned.

"Childe is right, but the slave family is reckless. The woman said apologetically, got up and saluted He Yi: "Please board the boat and talk about it." ”

He Yi returned the salute, and then boarded the painting boat, looked at it curiously, and said, "I don't know if the red-sleeved girl is looking for it, what is the so-called matter?"

He was surprised in his heart, the red-sleeved girl in front of him was not related to him, but the words and deeds of the other party showed a long-known appearance.

Could it really be that some old acquaintance can't do it?

However, such a beautiful woman should leave a very deep impression on people, but He Yi didn't have the slightest impression in his mind.

"This time, I dared to let my son come over, and there was indeed something. Red Sleeves hesitated for a moment, and a little expectation suddenly rose in his eyes, and said, "Can Childe borrow a sword to take a look?"

"Sword?" He Yi didn't react for a while.

Red Sleeves pointed to He Yi's waist and said, "This is it." ”

Demon Slayer?

Although he didn't know why this red-sleeved girl was interested in the Demon Slaying Sword, out of courtesy, He Yi still pulled the Demon Slaying Sword out of its scabbard and handed it over.

After all, that day in the dream building, the red sleeves also indirectly helped him out of the siege, this favor, why not find a chance to pay it back.

Red Sleeves took the Demon Slaying Sword from He Yi's hand as if snatching, held it in his hand and watched it for a long time, stretched out his hand from time to time, and gently touched the characters on the sword, and after a while, he slowly said: "Sure enough, it is the Demon Slaying Sword!

She actually knew the name of the sword?

He Yi was stunned again.
