When the lanterns come on, the lights will not go out.
The night market in Luoyang City is extremely popular as people come and go. Whether it is from the Central Plains, Western Sichuan, Southern Chu, or the Miao and Western Regions, you can see everything in the night market.
Changlefang is located on the left side of the Forbidden City, occupying most of the neighborhood.
Going out from the door, there is a long street extending out. The houses in the streets and alleys next to it are row upon row, neatly divided, and then divided by alleys in between.
Zhong Xiaokui folded her hands on her chest, wore a black yarn bun on her head, and was also wearing soap-colored clothes. She was leaning half against the wall at the entrance of the alley, looking very charming.
Her line of sight was just enough to completely cover most of the Changlefang gate. People were coming and going, except for the light reflecting on her petite face, which really didn't attract anyone's attention.
But in the shadow of the alley behind her, there were countless Jaundice warriors riding tall horses. They were all wearing special black light armor at the moment, and their faces were covered with black cloth, only a pair of eyes on their faces were exposed.
They all carry short Miao knives at their waists, slung beside their saddle saddles, and they all carry a chilling aura.
With just a gesture from Zhong Xiaokui, they could immediately ride out.
At the other end of the alley, two blocks away, there was the same scene, but the leaders were Kui Mu and Zhang Zifan.
The entire Changlefang was tightly controlled by the Jaundice tribe's men. Perhaps in every shadow, there was a figure in black who was ready to attack at any time.
Zhong Xiaokui had a calm expression on her face, and her eyes could capture everyone's expressions.
Changlefang is a point, and they are hunters waiting for their prey to enter the point.

You can hear a needle drop, and the flickering candlelight reflects on everyone's face, making the atmosphere condense.
Ji Ruxue was sitting next to her, and she happened to see the expressions of Taile Department Commander and Master Xiaoxiao. They were both stunned at first, and then their expressions suddenly changed, and their expressions were as usual.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I really don't know who the King is talking about this whole day..."
Tai Ledu ordered his skinny and hunched body to bend down, with a look of shame on his face.
Shi Xiaoxiao, who was holding the pipa next to him, also bowed at this moment, but he was holding the pipa with a slightly confused expression.

Anyone who hears such a strange name will only have this expression.
However, something is wrong.
Ji Ruxue covered her beautiful eyes and looked at the two of them up and down.
The expressions of the geisha and Tai Le Du Ling were as usual, and it seemed that they really didn't recognize this person.
But the strange thing is that the two of them didn't even look at each other from the moment Li Jing asked the question to the time when Tai Le Department ordered him to answer.
It's like there has been a tacit understanding for a long time.
But she didn't say much, just drank tea. She knew that Li Jing had made his own decision.
Sure enough, Li Jing smiled heartily and waved his hand towards the commander of Taiyue Department and the teacher.
"It doesn't have to be like this, but I am overthinking it. I have met this man a few times in Luoyang in the past, and I have some old acquaintances. He once said that if you want to find him, you can come here..."
Li Jing said for a while, then thought about it doubtfully and shook his head.
"That's all, I guess I'm confused."
At this time, Tai Le's commander looked like he suddenly realized something and smiled a few times, but he didn't know how to speak anymore and could only hold back one sentence in the end.
"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Why don't you let Xiaoxiao perform a song for His Majesty?"
Li Jing thought for a moment, as if he was still thinking about what happened just now, but he nodded indifferently.
"Okay, let my wife listen to the first song in Guanzhong."
Chi Meng, who was next to him, didn't even react to the change of address. He saw Shi Xiaoxiao giving a gentle salute to Chi Meng.
"Ma'am, please watch..."
This woman is very smart. Judging from the seats, she can clearly and boldly guess which woman is the real owner.
But it's also possible that he knew it in advance...
Li Jing's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at Chi Meng, who was shy for a moment, and then waved to Shi Xiaoxiao.
The sound of the pipa is very pleasant to the ears.
The teacher has a small figure and is very good-looking. He is standing straight with his waist half-armed with the pipa in his arms. It looks very pleasing to the eye.
This song in particular is somewhere between high-end and vulgar music. Even a rough guy like Li Jing can hear a unique feeling from it.
Tai Le ordered him to leave the room, presumably because he did not want to disturb Li Jing's enjoyment.
Chi Meng was a little puzzled. Although the sound of this piece of music was nice, why did he have to find this person to play it when he could hear countless pieces of music at home?
But after all, it was Li Jing who invited her, so she was immersed in the music.
Although Ji Ruxue is also proficient in music, she also showed an expression of appreciation at this moment.
The teacher's piano skills are not much worse than those of Fanyin Tian.
But Li Jing didn't think so much. He just admired it quietly for a while, then focused on the master's small technique, while secretly sensing the fluctuations in the air.
Both Shi Xiaoxiao and Fanyintian are masters of playing the pipa, but the difference between her and her is that the pipa is just a musical instrument in her hands, unlike Fanyintian who uses the pipa as a weapon.
Presumably this person may be good at close combat?
The scene of the assassination of Li Siyuan in the play flashed through Li Jing's mind. He remembered that in the image, Shi Xiaoxiao was the main force in assassinating Li Siyuan, although he was instantly killed by Li Cunli...
After the song ended, the room seemed to become elegant instantly.
Shi Xiaoxiao saluted and did not look at the expressions of the three of them. He just stood there happily, waiting for Li Jing's instructions.
"It sounds great, sister Xue'er, can you also play the pipa?"
Chi Meng gave Shi Xiaoxiao a thumbs up, which was the first thing she said when she arrived here.
Ji Ruxue shook her head and said aloud: "I am better at playing the guqin, and Fan Shengji is also very good at playing pipa."
Shi Xiaoxiao was a little surprised and glanced at Ji Ruxue, who was very heroic. He never thought that this woman was also a music expert.
"My little girl is well-deserved, and this song is a masterpiece. Since I have watched it with my own eyes, I will not bother you any more. Please go back and rest."
The teacher bent down slightly and wanted to step back and leave.
At this time, Tai Le, who was outside the door, also squeezed in and said with a cheerful smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop watching the little girl's dance?"
Li Jing stood up with a smile on her face and waved her hand.
"No need, I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer. There will be trouble tonight."
Tai Le's order was standing by the door with his body bowed, but he couldn't help but smile apologetically.
Chi Meng and Ji Ruxue also stood up at the same time and walked out with Li Jing.
Seeing that the three of them were also preparing to leave, Shi Xiaoxiao also stepped aside at the same time.
"Duan Chengtian has an apprentice, his name is Luo Xiaobei, right?"
When passing by Tai Le Department Ling, Li Jing turned his head and smiled faintly.
"I also came from Hidden Soldier Valley, so there is no need to hide it from me."
