"Skyfire coming to the world? A disaster is coming!"

Wu Jingmo suddenly turned pale, staggered back two steps, held the corner of an Eight Immortals table with one hand, and exclaimed.

He had been thinking about the four lines of the poem for a long time alone, but he did not connect the poem with the timing of the fire.

Now, Zhui Feng, a witness at the crime scene, revealed the secret with such an unobtrusive and carefree statement. Those four prophecies obviously came at the right time. They are so mysterious!

"So, the old Taoist priest really got it right? Is there such a magical thing in the world? This old Taoist seems to be an expert in the world!"

When Tian Zifang heard this, he also shouted like a fool.

He was standing with his back to Wu Jingmo just now, and he hadn't noticed that something was very wrong with his young master Wu's expression.

Lu Chengfeng walked around to the Eight Immortals hospitality table where Wu Jingmo was sitting, and sat down opposite him. It was rare for him to be so calm and calm, but Wu Jingmo was panicking, just like the two of them usually did.

It's the other way around.

Lu Chengfeng took a closer look at Wu Jingmo's uneasy expression and saw that there were a few tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. He pretended to be calm and comforted:

"Brother, where are you thinking? In my opinion, that wise old man is just talking nonsense after being drunk! I personally saw him take a wine gourd and get himself drunk! Just said it casually, this

The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention!”

Wu Jingmo gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his scholar's green shirt, reluctantly squeezed out a few smiles and said nothing.

If someone who didn't know him saw that awkward smile, he might think that Wu Jingmo had something to hide, something he couldn't say.

Tian Zifang saw Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo frowning and nervous, scratched their heads, smiled and shouted:

"Hey, Mr. Xiao Wu, your highness, please don't take this matter to your heart! That bad old man might be a charlatan! I have been in the world for so many years, and I have seen many such people! If you

If you believe him, he might come up to you, tell your fortune or something, make a fortune and then leave!"

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you saying is rude? I think so too! By the way, Brother You, don't stand aside in a daze by yourself! Please explain to everyone all the clues we just discovered!"

Zhui Feng Song quickly relaxed his shoulders and called, with a calm and unconcerned look on his face.

"yes!"

The Youjia craftsman hadn't been able to get in the conversation just now, and the people in front of him all seemed to be very noble. After waking up and saying a few words, he hid in the dark again, pretending to be a star.

Dust, quietly listened to the words of the four of them.

As soon as he heard someone calling him, he stood up and answered.

"Brother, this is the craftsman of the dragon and phoenix lantern that was burned tonight. His surname is You."

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly introduced to Wu Jingmo.

Wu Jingmo bowed again, without any extraneous greetings, and asked straight to the point:

"Brother, were you there when the lantern was lit? Is it like the little brother Zhui Feng said, it was lit from the dragon's feet and the phoenix's claws? You are an expert, can you recall carefully what you did when making this big lantern?

lanterns

At that time, were there any flaws and what opportunities did it leave for people to take advantage of?"

The Youjia craftsman frowned when he asked him such a serious and serious question, and explained with a dark face:

"No! Our You family's lantern-making technology is an ancestral craft! Xiao Bucai is the best descendant of the third generation of You family's lantern makers! The imperial city palace lanterns for the Lantern Festival over the years are all made by our family.

Yes! There has never been anything wrong!”

"Hey, that's not what our Mr. Wu meant."

Tian Zifang saw that his attitude was a bit bad, so he quickly interrupted and glanced at him with his naturally fierce eyes, trying to dispel some of the man's arrogance.

The craftsman surnamed You ignored it and continued to say, emotionally:

"Making lanterns for the emperor's palace, if you don't do it well, it's a job that will cost you your head! If our You family didn't do it well, we wouldn't be sitting here now! Let alone start with lanterns, we can still be regarded as Jinghua.

A well-known merchant in the city!"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, you family on Nanshi Street in the south of Jinghua City. Big brother, that purple-clothed fairy we met at the Jiuxianju Prince Dojo last time is the eldest lady of their family! Do you still remember?"

Lu Chengfeng became more and more excited when he heard what he said. He nodded repeatedly and tried to smooth things over.

Wu Jingmo's brows relaxed slightly and he said "Oh". After that, he carefully looked at the Youjia craftsman from head to toe and said:

"It's that girl's house? It seems that my good brother guessed it right. She is indeed the daughter of a businessman! But that night I heard that she was also a learned and talented person with broad thoughts. I thought she was a lady from a famous family.

!”

"Humph! Don't look down on us craftsmen and businessmen, Mr. Wu! We all rely on our hard-working hands and clever ideas to make a living! If it weren't for this unique skill, my skillful hands would not be used by the prince.

I like it!"

When the craftsman surnamed You heard Wu Jingmo's remarks, instead of calming down his anger, he was even more irritated by his words. He snorted from his nose and retorted with disdain.

"What? What did you say? Prince? Did the prince ask you to make this giant lantern with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious colors?"

Wu Jingmo's silent eyes were instantly ignited by the word "Prince". He jumped up from the bench in front of the Eight Immortals table as if he had been stepped on, and pulled the Youjia craftsman's chest and shirt,

asked.

"Yes! Your Majesty! I am the most skillful lantern hand appointed by Your Majesty!"

Craftsman Youjia waved Wu Jingmo's hand away, patted his chest, and answered confidently.

"That's not what you told me just now in front of the dragon and phoenix! Didn't you say that you started making this lamp three years ago? You also said that you worked hard by yourself from beginning to end!

"

Lu Chengfeng asked with confusion on his face.

"Yes! I started lighting it three years ago, but the reason I started lighting it was to celebrate the Lantern Festival in my hometown of Qingzhou! The original idea was not to have dragons and phoenixes presenting auspiciousness, but to have two separate big lanterns.

!”

The Youjia craftsman paused, then Lu Chengfeng interrupted again and asked:

"How can the small land of Qingzhou be equipped with giant lanterns of the size of dragons and phoenixes? The combination of dragons and phoenixes symbolizes the current emperor and queen! That's it!

Even if it’s two separate headlights, it’s impossible! Lao You, you’d better hurry up and tell the truth!”

"Why didn't I tell the truth? You didn't even listen to what I had to say!"

The Youjia craftsman was so angry at his words that he rolled his eyes and continued speechlessly:

"I originally prepared a big lantern with flying snakes and a big lantern with peacocks for pilgrimage for our Shangyuan Festival in Qingzhou! Didn't I get selected at short notice to make the final lantern for the Shangyuan Festival in Jinghua City? I am

It was a temporary change. I worked hard for seven days and nights without much sleep! If you don’t believe it, look at my big bags under the eyes!”

Brother You said, angrily pointing his finger at the dark circles under his tired and tired eyes to prove his innocence.

What he said sounded true.

Wu Jingmo and Lu Chengfeng exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

Tian Zifang was a straight person and couldn't hold back his words. He questioned blankly:

"You said it took you three years to make this lantern, how could you change it temporarily in just seven days and seven nights? I think you are lying to us! You should tell us, whether they believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!"

The Youjiajiang jumped up and down in anger. After calming down for a few seconds, he opened his mouth to explain:

"Don't you understand? Snakes and dragons are similar. I just added horns to the snake. So it is not difficult to change the flying snake into a flying dragon in the sky! As for the peacock pilgrimage,

It took me a lot of effort to become a phoenix in Jiutian! Although the peacock is somewhat similar to the phoenix, its body shape and wings are still very different! I spent most of the past seven days and seven nights fighting against the Phoenix God.

It’s shaped! Let me tell you! Ordinary craftsmen really can’t handle it!”

"That's it! Brother You, I know you are an expert in making lanterns! But why didn't the prince place an order in advance? Did he place the order through Qingzhou Zhizhou? Haven't your You family made lanterns for the palace for many years? It stands to reason.

He said he could have come to you three years in advance according to the rules, but why did he do it in such a hurry?"

Lu Chengfeng listened carefully and felt something was wrong, so he asked.

"Isn't it? I'm exhausted! But who dares to retreat from the prince's order? Don't save your life! As for why he hurriedly found me through Qingzhou Zhizhou just seven days ago, then I don't know

.Never mind him! As long as I have work to do and money to make, it’s my duty to do the work well, and the rest is our master’s responsibility!”

This Youjia craftsman also seemed like a characterful master, but he was a little frightened at first when Zhui Feng carried him by the collar and flew all the way over.

He had been hiding aside and listening for a long time, but now he had come to his senses and returned to his true self.

Just mind the work you are doing, and if anyone questions you, just criticize him without discussing it!

If someone asked again, he would just spread his hands and say, "What does it matter to him?"

Lu Chengfeng thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He was just a craftsman. Who knew what the aloof prince was thinking, and there was no need to ask them what the master of the You family thought. In short, he couldn't afford to offend him!

"Okay, I believe it, I believe it! Then, could it be that the prince asked you to lay the groundwork so that you can make this good fire tonight?"
