Zhao Tong couldn't help but look into her eyes when he heard his mother say the word "like".
I saw that the young lady's eyes were clear and distinct, like pearls and jade, with a soft light faintly covering her pupils. She was a little stubborn and a little firm, and she looked at him to meet his gaze.
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
After saying that, he turned to look at the last riddle of the lantern. The old man said to himself, It's over... It's over.
Zhao Tong said: "This is the word spring."
The old man felt bitter in his heart, but he forced himself to look happy and said: "Young Master is really powerful. I guessed it right. I guessed it right."
Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Bring it over."
The old man did not dare to disobey. After taking off the palace lantern, he went to get the copper coins. Zhao Tong shook his head: "Forget about the money, this lantern is exquisitely made and can be worth the money."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he said solemnly: "Master, how can this be done? How can this be done?" Although he said this, his hands were very obedient and no longer made any movements, just handed over the lantern.
Zhao Tong picked up the lantern, looked at his mother and said with a smile: "It's really good-looking, but I've guessed all the eight riddles. I'm afraid I need to change it."
The young lady opened her eyes and said, "Young Master has already guessed it, but I haven't guessed it. I want to take it back and think about it slowly. I just want you to hold the lamp for me."
Zhao Tong handed over the palace lantern, and the light reflected the blush on the girl's snow-white fur suit. Zhao Tong saw that her color was like jade, so he couldn't help but squeeze the girl's hand when he handed the lantern over. He felt that it was soft and delicate, and his heart couldn't help but sway.
The little girl was shaken by him, and her whole body trembled, as if she had received an electric shock. She looked over, her eyes a little hazy.
Zhao Tong said: "Hold it firmly, it will be bad if you drop it."
The young lady held up the lantern pole and said softly: "I know."
Seeing that the flow of people in front seemed to be increasing, Zhao Tong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go back to the building first. There are more people now, and I'm afraid the lantern will be broken."
The young lady looked at the lantern and nodded, her expression a little lively and a little nervous.
The two walked back, with Su Shi and others wearing ordinary people's clothes behind, spreading out to follow and protect them.
At this moment, there were several people not far away looking here. One of them was a woman with big eyes and a big mouth, and her face was full of envy. The other woman, whose face was covered with black gauze, had her hands behind her back, her eyes constantly looking at Zhao Tong and Zhang Zhenniang moved around, and finally landed on Zhang Zhenniang, and said coldly: "Kill that woman!"
The big-eyed and big-mouthed woman was stunned when she heard this, but said nothing. She looked at the purple-robed man next to her.
The man was Fang La. His face was expressionless when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and said: "Aunt Saint, you mean that the quarrel started between the two of them?"
In fact, Fang La was a little puzzled. He also saw that the man and woman in front of him looked like they were ordinary people at first sight. Since it was a good idea to kill such people, why did they only kill women and not men?
At this time, the Holy Aunt said coldly: "You kill the woman, and I will kill the man!"
Fang Baihua frowned when she heard this. She immediately looked away and reached out to secretly touch the dagger at her waist.
Fang La thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Just as the holy aunt said, after killing everyone and causing chaos, set fire to the lantern market."
The Holy Aunt raised her eyebrows, and several people started to move. However, as they got closer and closer, they saw that the man and woman in front of them were not leaving the lantern market, but turning a corner and passing through the lantern stalls on the roadside. , walking towards a commercial building in the back.
The Holy Aunt frowned slightly and said, "Do it!"
At this moment, Zhao Tong and Xiao Niang were walking in front. Xiao Niang was holding the palace lantern with a slightly happy look on her face. From time to time she looked at where the candle in the palace lantern was burning, for fear that it was tilted or burned out, so she lit the palace lantern again.
Zhang Xian was following from behind. He was holding a small lotus lantern in his hand, only the size of a fist. Inside was an exquisite candle. This was obtained by guessing riddles. He visited several stalls and spent half a pound of money in total. , I have this little thing, even though I have to lose everything, I still love it like a treasure.
Su Shi and ten guards followed sparsely, with no apparent connection to Zhao Tong. It was like a semicircular net carrying a few people forward.
Zhao Tong walked through the lantern stall, his steps paused, and then he walked more and more slowly. The girl didn't notice anything, she just followed him and slowed down, looked at the Broken Jade Tower in front of her, and said: "This The candle in the lamp must be extinguished soon, otherwise if you don't watch it, it may burn out and light the lantern."
Zhao Tong made a mistake at this time and moved to the right side of the girl. He smiled and said: "How can such a thing happen? The base is made of iron foil. How could it be burned? If so, the lantern hanging outside Didn’t you stay awake all night after lighting it?”
The young lady glanced at Zhao Tong, wondering why he suddenly ran to the right side of her house. But at this moment, Zhao Tong suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her over, and then dodged to the side.
Before the young lady even had time to shout, she felt Zhao Tong's body rushing like lightning, and she could only be carried away.
Then she saw a dazzling cold light, passing through the place where she was standing just now, followed by a few "puff" sounds, and pierced a wooden pillar not far away.
The young woman's face turned pale, but she kept her mouth shut and did not cry out. One of her hands was held by Zhao Tao, and the other hand was tightly grasping the lantern pole.
Zhao Tong looked cold and did not speak. He narrowed his eyes slightly and moved to the side again.
A cold light suddenly appeared where he was standing just now. This cold light was like a poisonous snake. It made no sound, only a gloomy killing intent.
All this happened very quickly. At the same time, Zhang Xian was sneak attacked by a man. The man held a scimitar in his hand. Zhang Xian also had a weapon on him, which was a short iron stick. The two of them instantly ping-pong-pong-pong. Hit one spot.
Behind him, Su Shi's eyes were about to burst, but he only rushed forward halfway when he was blocked by a middle-aged man in purple robes.
Su Shi grabbed the single sword and just wanted to rush to Zhao Tong's side immediately, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged man in purple robe was like a big mountain, making it difficult for him to move even without any weapons in his hands.
The ten guards over there came up again, but they were stopped and fought together. Even though there were more people on their side, they were no match for those assassins. They were killed by three or four of them, and they could only parry, without being able to fight back. merit.
At this time, the door of Broken Jade Tower opened with a bang, and Jian Suyi rushed out with two people. Zhao Tao glanced at it and said calmly: "Take Zhen Niang back, and don't come out again!"
After saying that, he pushed the girl over there. Jian Suyi did not hesitate, pulled the girl up and returned to the building with her two men, and then closed the wooden door.
At this moment, the venomous snake-like sword light came again, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Tong's face, and the dagger in his sleeve instantly slipped out.
At this time, he had clearly seen the person opposite. It was actually a slim woman in black, covered with a veil. She seemed familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
The long sword in the woman's hand was narrow and fluttering like the wind, making no sound, like a withered yellow leaf in autumn, dead and lifeless, she stabbed with the sword.
Zhao Tong's short sword is only half the size of a normal sword. It has a simple shape. The blood groove in the middle is very thin and appears dark red in color. The tip of the sword is not a pure sharp edge, but slightly rounded, and the sword body is not the common snow white. It's shiny, but slightly darker, a little silvery, and there are some ancient runes on the blade. It looks like an ancient sword at first glance.
The woman's figure is like a charm, and her sword is like the wind. This sword is sure to kill.
The narrow and long sword looks like a black line or a stretched green snake, leaving people with nowhere to hide.
Zhao Tong's body suddenly moved strangely at this moment, avoiding the sword attack at an incredible angle. This was the footwork of Baigui Yexing. Then he immediately stepped forward and stabbed out with the dagger in his hand.
The woman also reacted very quickly. Even if the killing sword failed to work, she did not panic at all. She responded with a sword slashing towards Zhao Tong's dagger.
There was a "click" sound, and the woman's sword broke. It was actually cut into two pieces by Zhao Tong's dagger.
The woman's pupils shrank, and she didn't expect that the opponent's dagger was as sharp as iron.
Her body became extremely soft in the blink of an eye, like a snake, twisting and avoiding the stab of the dagger with movements that were impossible for ordinary people.
Zhao Tong missed the target with one sword and did not pull back at all. The next sword came with the force. This time, not even the woman, not even a real snake, could dodge.
There was a sound of "stab", a burst of sparks flew up, and a strange little shield appeared in the woman's hand, blocking Zhao Tong's sword.
This shield is something extraordinary at first glance. It is red and dark in color, with various ancient flame patterns carved on it. It looks heavy, and it is unknown what kind of material it is made of.
A string of sparks flew up. Although the shield was not cut by the dagger, there were obvious long marks on it, indicating that it was damaged.
Zhao Tong was not willing to give up at this moment. He stepped forward again and punched the shield directly. With a "bang" sound, his punch hit the shield directly. The woman behind him immediately let out a cry of surprise, opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. out.
The woman's body slid backwards, as if she had turned into a snake again, twisting and retreating. Zhao Yan pressed forward step by step, and punched the shield again. This time, the woman's thin body was like a kite, and she was able to use this force. The force of the fist flew backwards, and blood sprayed into the air.
On the other side, Su Shi was retreating steadily. He was no match for Fang La. Although Fang La had no weapons in his hands, there seemed to be a huge suction force between his arms, which made Su Shi's movements slow down a bit, and then he directly grabbed Su Shi's hand. The single sword flew away, and another palm hit him on the shoulder. Su Shi took five or six steps back, and his arm was broken and could not be lifted up.
At this time, Fang La saw that the woman was defeated and hurriedly went to help. However, Zhao Tong was not willing to let the woman go and punched Fang La who rushed over.
Fang La danced his hands, and a suction force appeared in front of him. Zhao Tong's fist hesitated slightly, but then there was a "hissing" sound in the air. The fist seemed to have pierced a layer of window paper, getting rid of the suction force, and hit it hard. The ground hit Fang La on the chest.
Fang La immediately screamed, and then shouted "go quickly". His whole body was turned upside down, his waist was twisted into a twist, his face was facing Zhao Tao, but his legs below him turned around strangely, and he ran backwards while running into his mouth. Red blood flowed out.
At this moment, chaos suddenly broke out in the lantern market. Several places were on fire. The flow of people was immediately dispersed. Many tourists ran towards the back of the stalls. Many people also ran over from Suiyulou.
The Ding brothers who were originally patrolling Deng City also ran back with the flow of people. When they saw Zhao Tong, they hurriedly shouted: "Young Master!"
Zhao Tong said coldly: "Protect Broken Jade Tower, and send someone to inform Tan Zhen that bandits have entered the city to cause trouble, and the whole city is locked down!"
After saying that, he glanced at the crowd, snorted coldly, and chased somewhere.
He had already recognized that the woman who was assassinated was none other than the third Uighur princess Liya Naza. As for the man in purple robe, he had no idea of his origin. The man's martial arts were very weird and he had never seen her before.
But the purple-robed man was seriously injured and it was not a serious problem. Although Liyanaza was hit by two punches and vomited blood, it was not serious because of the flame shield. Zhao Tong felt that this woman was a scourge, although he did not know why she came to Tokyo. , since I saw her today, I must kill her.
Zhao Tong chased into the crowd, and from a distance he saw Liyanaza's body like a snake, extremely silky, neither jumping nor running hard, just twisting in the crowd and then far away.
Zhao Tong frowned. The Shen Xing Wuying he learned from Dai Zong was not easy to use when there were many people. The inertia of that skill was great when running, and it would accidentally injure ordinary people. Even Shi Qian's light skill was not flexible at the moment. After all, people are too real. It's too much, and it's so noisy that it always gets in the way of jumping.
After chasing him out of the Lantern Market, Liyanaza had already run far away and even entered the Suzaku Gate.
The outer city was also very lively tonight. Because it was the Lantern Festival, the imperial court ordered the inner city gate to be closed at three o'clock. At this time, there were still people coming and going in the city gate. Even the imperial army did not notice Lianaza's strange movements.
Although there were many tourists on the outer city streets, they were not as good as those in the Lantern Festival. Zhao Tong's speed gradually became faster, and Liya Nazha's figure gradually became clearer.
Liyanaza's face was covered with black gauze, and her expression could not be seen, but her eyes were as cold as frost and snow.
What happened in Longyou is vivid in my mind. It was King Qi of the Song Dynasty who lifted up her veil with a shot and saw her appearance.
It was King Qi of the Song Kingdom who chopped off her armor robe with a sword in the deserted ancient city, and then he saw her...legs. When she thought of this, Liyanaza clenched her fists tightly, The fingers became increasingly pale, without a trace of blood.
She originally didn't know the true identity of the sheep from the Song Kingdom. She only thought he was the general of the Western Army of the Song Kingdom. Later, after asking around, she found out that he was actually the King of Qi from the Song Kingdom. Then, after that, he actually returned to Tokyo of the Song Kingdom!
Who asked him to go back? Who told him to run away? How dare he run away before she killed him!
She would never allow a strange man in the world to see her appearance and glimpse her body, and then live freely in the world!
Liyanaza had a cold eyebrow and murderous intent in her heart. As a saint of the Ming Cult in Xizhou Uighur, she came to the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty this time to help the Ming Cult in the Central Plains to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
But the reason for meeting Fang La in Tokyo was to kill Qi King Zhao Tong!
I originally thought that I would set off lanterns tonight, and then take advantage of the chaos in Tokyo to sneak into the palace and assassinate him, but I didn't expect to meet him in the lantern market!
He was actually strutting around the lantern market, and he was even leading a woman. Is that woman her princess?
Huh, he doesn't look that good, and he's so weak that he has no power to restrain a chicken, and he still needs to be protected!
The more Liyanaza thought about it, the angrier she became. She originally wanted to kill the woman first, and then Zhao Tong, but she didn't expect that she had misjudged Zhao Tong's strength. Zhao Tong not only had a short sword that could cut iron like clay, His sword and fist skills are so good. If he didn't have the fire shield to protect him, he would probably be beaten to death by a few punches from him!
Just when the hatred in her heart was overwhelming, Zhao Tong's voice came from far behind: "Liyanaza, don't run away, kneel down quickly and capture her without mercy. I can still leave a whole body for you!"
