Chapter 63: Seeing the Old Ones (2 in 1)(1/2)
Ximing followed the lady, followed her step by step, walking on the road to Liangzhou City, looking around, but she couldn't see enough. She grew up to be sixteen years old now, and had never seen so many people crowded together, nor had she seen such a beautiful light.
The Oriental Family has lived in seclusion for generations, and there are only hundreds of people in the clan. They are scattered in such a large place. There are not many people on weekdays. Moreover, her family has long been lonely and only operates outside the Oriental Family, and she rarely sees people. Seeing so many people at once has scared her.
The lanterns outside are red and colorful.
This kind of thing has only been seen in books in the past.
She walked while watching, and before she realized that the woman in front had stopped. When she realized that she had no time, she hit the beautiful woman's back, and let out a whisper in her mouth, then she came to her senses, and she was a little nervous and said with a bow:
"Little, Miss..."
The woman in front of her was not as angry as before, but she glanced at her indifferently, then took out a jade pendant, and tied it to her personally. Ximing was a little flattered and didn't know where to put her hands.
Her hands are actually very beautiful, but she is used to doing rough work, and it looks much rougher.
The beautiful woman stood up straight and looked at the panicked girl in front of her. Her eyes were dull and she finally returned to a quiet state, just said lightly:
"When you go out, don't lose my name as the Dongfang family."
Ximing's face turned red and he lowered his head.
She has washed up easily today and changed into the best clothes. Of course, it is just ordinary fabrics and simple styles. It cannot be compared with the woman in front of her, but it is indeed her best clothes.
He stretched out his right hand and gently pulled the jade pendant. The ancient seal script with the word "Oriental" was faintly mysterious and was very mysterious. It was liked by people when he saw it, but soon Ximing thought of another question in his mind. She had only seen this jade pendant from afar once, and it was said to be very precious.
Isn’t this kind of thing a waste of resources to pick and use for yourself?
Such thoughts only changed once in my mind and disappeared.
She gently tugged the jade pendant.
Girls always like good-looking things.
The beautiful woman in front of her pursed her lips, then raised her head and watched the lights on her left and right, as if she had let go of a heavy thing in her heart. She looked much more relaxed and comfortable than before, and her eyes were as bright as jade.
However, after half a cup of tea, a cluster of bright purple fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky, and there was a faint redness around it, so you could see clearly even in the lights around.
The people around us cheered.
The Wu Zu, who was standing in defense everywhere, suddenly changed his expression.
The Martial Arts Captain Li Mingde, who was transferred, changed his expression. He suddenly stood up and looked at the direction of the fireworks rising. After just warning, something was wrong in his heart. He never thought that the worst thing was coming.
The direction of warning is the place where the cocktail party is today. The big guys there knew that something happened to them, and the martial arts soldiers could not escape the punishment.
A cluster of red fireworks rose in the sky and exploded in an instant.
It was like a jar of red dye was knocked over from a black cloth.
Li Mingde could no longer hold back and bit the jujube pit in his mouth, pressed his waist knife with one hand and grabbed the crossbow with the other. He ignored the order and rushed from the top of the inn in the direction of the accident.
Not only him, but also the entire Liangzhou, the martial soldiers who were close to the city gates rushed to the city gates, while the martial soldiers who were close to the cocktail party rushed to the place where the signal was issued, stepping on the fish scale tiles and making a rustling sound.
After all, such movements are not small, which caused waves of riots among the people who were watching the lanterns. I looked up and looked up.
Two large trucks decorated with colorful lights drove past the street. There was a man in the car with red silk tied to his arm and beating a big drum. He attracted some people's attention because the crowd was blocked and he just walked forward with difficulty.
The crowd around him, like a glance at the wall, blocked his sight, and suddenly it seemed as if he had cut this small section of the street out of the defense of the military soldiers.
Ximing subconsciously raised his head, but disappeared from the lady. He felt panic. He looked up and met the eyes of the big man who was beating the drum. The strong man's eyes drooped low, and fell on the jade pendant around Ximing's waist, and saw the word "Oriental" above.
The red fireworks exploded in the night sky in the pair of triangular eyes reflected the eyes of the red fireworks, deep and violent, like an evil spirit who was rushing to eat.
Ximing's heart suddenly trembled. Just as he was about to turn around, the two men next to the man suddenly shouted the word "Ankang" and threw out many red pouches from a bag.
This is a custom in the south of the Yangtze River of the Qin Dynasty. It is a way to get a good start. I used red paper bags and some were red silk bags. Some were sugar balls and some were paper rolls with auspicious words. The family was well-off and there were serious silver particles stuffed inside.
It was like throwing a lot of bait feed into the fish pond. The crowd rushed forward to grab the red bag. The crowd was crowded and squeezed the petite Ximing back and fell backwards. Then he was supported by a wide palm. Before Ximing could be glad, he was covered in his mouth and nose by a piece of blue silk cloth, as if he was not even his own body, and he fell softly towards the back.
In the shaking sight, she saw the crowded crowd, the shiny red lantern, which made her gaze bright, the lady standing on one side, the cold and thin eyes, the big man smashed the drumsticks heavily, and the red ribbons on his arms flew.
Dong!
Ximing lost consciousness.
The subtle movements and sounds almost did not attract any attention in the increasingly intense drum sound. The last red bag was picked up. The two actors in the car sang a fat look with exaggerated expressions and said some nice auspicious words.
The cart drove away slowly, and the originally blocked crowd returned to their original appearance, like waves hitting the river again, and finally returned to peace. No one noticed that a thin girl disappeared.
There are too many people.
A person's disappearance is like a drop of water in the ocean, not conspicuous at all.
The beautiful woman kept watching her maid being taken away by being stunned. When she saw the begging in her eyes, her feet seemed to have taken root in place and did not make any moves.
She raised her hand and touched her long hair on the temples.
The compassion that arises in her heart, the thought of saving the maid immediately is pressed down instantly. The Eastern lineage is good at magical techniques, and the theory of luck is hidden. Taking others to take disaster is even more taboo among the taboos, but she does not regret it.
She closed her eyes and thought of a series of secrets in her family.
Hundreds of years ago, the Star Palace caused trouble in the world, and they worked together to kill them.
The ancestors of the Dongfang family voluntarily guarded the secret place of Xinggong to prevent further turmoil. This has been like this for hundreds of years. I don’t know how many generations of amazing Dongfang family disciples died in Penglai, and gradually became unwilling to accept it.
Twenty-two years ago, the entire Dongfang family devoted all their efforts to cultivate the most outstanding disciples in a century, in order to take advantage of the opportunity when the Chinese fortune is turbulent again, so as to cling to the real dragon, beads and fetus can be secretly knotted, become the queen to disperse the dragon energy, and let the Dongfang family get out of the situation where they appear.
But who knew that the most outstanding disciples of that generation actually ignored the family orders.
A complex emotion flashed through the woman's eyes.
The red lips opened and closed, and the name was whispered in a low voice, but it was drowned in the crowd. She wore a wide-sleeved blue shirt, and the crowd looked colder and out of place.
…………………………
The market on the west side of Liangzhou is brightly lit and is the most prosperous place today.
But at this time, the cold and solemn atmosphere of the military strategists was far more prosperous than the bustling and bustling. There was still a man in his forties lying on the ground. His limbs were spread out and a blood hole was in his chest. Blood flowed out along his clothes, soaking the bluestone floor into blood.
Wang Anfeng glanced at the dead man's palms hanging on the ground were white and tender, almost comparable to those women, and he knew that he must be the kind of person who was born from a noble family and had extraordinary family. He was wearing a moon-white long sermon gown, with dark patterns on it but no stitches, and thoughts could be seen everywhere.
If the inn shopkeeper looked at the outfit, I would probably not say that he would dare to raise the price ten times, and he would not even dare to offer the original price, so he would only pay a 70% or 80% of the cost, or he would not receive any payment.
The literati of Jiangnan Dao were more prominent than other places.
Liu Ling raised his eyes and glanced at him and said with a wry smile:
"It's bitter, it's bitter..."
Wang Anfeng said slowly: "Mr. Liu, please relax. Since this disaster is caused by me today, I will naturally protect my seniors."
Liu Ling turned the wine pot behind him, shook his head and said:
"It's bitter, there's no wine to drink."
Wang Anfeng laughed and his mind became calmer. Although there were many people in front of him, he was never unreasonable. He was so cautious because he just mentioned the name of Jiu Jizai. Secondly, there are still many doubts about who the murderer is.
Now seeing the man in the lead strode, wearing a light-scarlet official uniform with a white and short beard, his face turned pale and obviously extremely angry. Wang Anfeng's right hand fell down without taking action. The man walked to the deceased, squatted down, and after confirming his identity and breath, his face turned pale.
Someone next to him helped him stand up, but the latter raised his hand and pushed it away. The official looked at Wang Anfeng with his eyes, but did not talk to them, saying:
"These two are the murderers' accomplices?"
The guard who had led Wang Anfeng and the others to take two steps forward, bowed his hands, lowered his head and whispered loudly: "It's certainly true that I asked just now. The young man clearly said that he was coming here to find alcohol and there was no lie!"
The official's expression was a little gentler, he looked at Wang Anfeng and asked:
"What he said is the truth?"
Wang Anfeng explained:
"But it is, but I just came down..."
"Okay, come and capture the two suspects and take them to the rear jail to wait for the detention!"
Before Wang Anfeng could finish his words, the official interrupted him rudely, and shook his sleeves. Naturally, a master guard around him pulled out his weapons and prepared to get closer.
In their eyes, the old man in front of him did not mention that his qi and blood were withered. Although the young man looked like a martial arts practitioner, his qi was not obvious, his blood was not ordinary, and he did not have any reputation.
For some reason, these two people were identified as suspects, but after receiving their salary, they just did things. Shangguan naturally had to consider things about Shangguan. They didn't need to care, they just had to do things.
The siege is now moving forward.
The first Hu master who came down was the most powerful, but he never took action. He just protected a woman with a tight face. The woman had a beautiful face, her eyes were particularly beautiful, her pupils were like jade, without any impurities, and she looked at the besieged young man with interest.
The state official put one hand behind him, grabbed the jade pendant with his right hand, and slowly rubbed it. The blood vessels veins bulged, and his eyes always glanced at the dead body lying on the ground. Every time he looked, his heart sank an inch down, and his face turned pale little by little.
Jiangnan Road emphasizes literati and scholarly spirit.
This dead middle-aged man likes to drink and poetry, is crazy and becomes famous early, and has been with Zhuguo, now in Xianping County, for decades.
All officials in Xianping County knew that the violent general of the Zhu Kingdom was very kind to this scholar who was so drunk. As long as it was not his first wife, the scholar who had been included in the door could open his mouth, and could wash it clean and send it directly to his room.
If Zhu Guo knew that the scholar died here today and the prisoner escaped...
The state official's face turned pale and completely lost a trace of blood.
With a click, the jade pendant in his hand actually cracked.
Wang Anfeng raised his hand to protect Liu Ling, and his heart was filled with anger. The state official looked rough and rude, but he could also infer many things from the few words of the state official in front of him. The most obvious point was that this big man in the light-scarlet official uniform obviously did not intend to tell them in detail.
These warriors in front of you are not a problem. If you let go of your hands and feet and use various martial arts, you can take them all within thirty or forty rounds. However, the martial arts strokes gradually surrounding you wore crossbow arrows and shot hundreds of crossbows at the speed of volleys, which would be a big obstacle.
Moreover, because Liu Ling is here, it is impossible for him to fight in a roaming way, and he can only bear it. If he uses his own aura to climb the sky tower step by step and trigger the world, it is easy to cause casualties among the people.
