The night is slightly dark, but the long streets of Jiuchen Valley are still brightly lit, with people coming and going, performing tricks, and shouts coming and going.
The hustle and bustle, laughter and scolding can be heard everywhere in the market. The thick smell of fireworks filled the old dust valley, forming two worlds with the cold and majestic gate of the palace gate.
Various types of lanterns shine on the streets, making them look like the gorgeous Milky Way in the sky. Men and women dressed in bright and colorful clothes are wandering in the Milky Way, as if they want to find the other half of their hearts on Yuan Yuan Night.
Various river lanterns are floating in the waterway of the long street, silk bamboos and swallows are singing on the cruise boat, flowers and fruits are filling the boat, graceful dancing and melodious flute sound.
The fire-breathing acrobat breathed out a fire dragon, and there was a burst of cheers from all around. Gong Yaozheng came out of the crowd, holding a piggy lantern, and his head was covered with flower petals.
Gong Yuanzheng followed closely behind with a tiger lantern, waving away the petals scattered on Gong Yuanzheng's head with his hands.
Starlight reflected in his pupils, which contained the eternal Milky Way. Under the tiny light, the young man was obviously infected by the lively atmosphere: "Sister, walk slower, the hairpin on your head is about to fall off."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hosta on Gong Yuanzheng's head slipped from his hair and was caught by Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yaozheng turned around in confusion. It was too noisy around her and she didn't hear her: "What did you say?"
Gong Yuanzheng helplessly raised the hosta in his hand. There was a pair of hostas, and the other one was standing alone on Gong Yuanzheng's head, precariously.
Gong Yuanzheng raised his hand to hold the hairpin on his head. Just as he was about to walk in the direction of Gong Yuanzheng, the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Hey!" Gong Yaozheng was squeezed and staggered.
Gong Yuanzheng's expression changed, and he pushed away the person who had just squeezed past him. He took two steps forward, tapped his toes, and pulled Gong Yuanzheng past him. He stepped on the person's shoulders and climbed onto the high platform beside him.
The dancer performing on the high platform stopped in confusion, looked at Gong Yuanzheng's obviously displeased eyes, and lowered her head.
The audience in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, and they became reluctant.
"what happened?"
"I do not know…"
"This, this is someone from the palace gate!"
Someone in the crowd recognized the token hanging on Gong Yuanzheng's waist, and his voice exploded in the crowd.
Everyone was quiet and looked at the people on the stage with awe. However, the man who was stepped on by Gong Yuanzheng and was cursing and looking for trouble suddenly started to panic: "Young Master, I'm sorry, but I can't see Taishan. I disturbed the young master and... young lady."
Gong Yuanzheng didn't look at him and snorted coldly.
Gong Yaozheng secretly sighed at the status of the palace gate in the Old Chen Valley. However, Gong Yaozheng's sharp eyes saw a black shadow disappearing from the eaves.
Gong Yuanzheng inserted the hosta in his hand into Gong Yuanzheng's hair bun. The two hostas were finally reunited, one on the left and one on the right of Gong Yuanzheng's head, reunited after a long absence.
Gong Yaozheng was startled, touched his head, and realized that it was his brother Yuanzheng who was putting the hairpin on him, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, they won't disperse if we don't leave."
Everyone lowered their heads, the people above did not say anything, and they did not dare to take any action. If you offend Gongmen, you will not want to live in the old dust valley. Gongmen will not trouble you, and other people will do it in order to please Gongmen. Will cause trouble for you.
A gust of wind blew by, and one person raised his head hesitantly. The two people were no longer on the stage...
Gong Yuanzheng took Gong Yuanzheng to the top of a building. Zhaiyue Tower is the tallest building in the Old Chen Valley. From the top of the Zhaiyue Tower, the entire Old Chen Valley can be seen.
Gong Yaozheng steadied himself and frowned: "I just saw a man in black."
Gong Yuanzheng naturally discovered it too. He looked at Gong Yuanzheng and saw two words in each other's eyes: "Wufeng!"
"Wufeng can already enter and leave Jiuchen Valley at will? What are the guards at the palace gate doing?" Gong Yuanzheng said angrily.
"Wufeng has been eyeing the palace gate all these years. Gong Er has also been hunted down and attacked a lot these years." Gong Yaozheng sometimes feels that time flies too fast, and she has not fully enjoyed her time. It's a terrible life, and in one year, Gong Men will have to choose a bride.
"Don't think I don't know. Over the years, you and my brother have secretly exchanged letters. I'm not a fool." Gong Yuanzheng pouted Lao Gao, who was angry that there was something going on between Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao that he didn't know about. secret.
"Where is the letter? It's a secret letter. I burned it after reading it." Gong Yuanzheng smiled and tugged on Gong Yuanzheng's sleeve. It was so big that she couldn't even pull it.
Gong Yuanzheng turned around and said, "Sister, tell me, what have you been plotting all these years?"
Gong Yaozheng: "..." Your choice of words is a little inappropriate!
"In the rivers and lakes, factions are chaotic. Most of the sects are afraid of Wu Feng and have surrendered to Wu Feng. Wu Feng has always been eyeing the palace door. Gong Er is outside, using his own efforts to do many things. As the second young lady of the Gong family, I will definitely contribute my small amount. As for plotting, plotting on how to make life better for everyone in the palace, how to protect your brother’s wealth and life outside, and how to make more money to make new clothes for you. Also , in another year, the palace gate will have to choose a bride."
When it came to choosing a bride, Gong Yaozheng's tone darkened. Marriage selection in the palace is a major change in the past ten years.
She didn't want everything to happen again in the TV series, where there were heavy casualties at the palace gate. How could Brother Yuanzheng feel so good?
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Yuanzheng beside him. He had grown from the little boy into a handsome young man. He was looking at him with a burning gaze, like a curious puppy.
Gong Yuanzheng unconsciously touched Gong Yuanzheng's head: "I always feel that choosing a bride in the palace will be a very risky thing. Does this marriage have to be chosen?"
——————————————
"You have to choose!"
Elder Hua spoke firmly in the meeting hall of the Presbytery.
Gong Hongyu, who holds the blade, is sitting in the position of holding the blade. Gong Shangjiao and Gong Huanyu are at the bottom.
The three elders sat side by side in the elder's seat, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
"However, Wu Feng's spying and siege on the palace gates have never stopped over the years. Choosing a mate hastily will inevitably become a breakthrough for Wu Feng." Gong Shangjiao's voice sounded particularly clear in the conference hall.
Elder Yue's voice was steady, with a reassuring calmness: "Shang Jiao is right, but it is the rule of the palace to choose a bride once every twenty years."
"Shang Jiao, you and Huan Yu are about to get married now, and Gong Ziyu is about to reach the crown. The palace gate has few children, and the women in the palace gate are not conducive to fertility. The matter of choosing a mate is a big deal, not a child's play, nor is it something to think about. It can be postponed if it is postponed.”
"Shang Jiao is aware of it, but the decision depends on the Council of Elders and the Blade Master." Gong Shang Jiao knew that there was no room for change in this matter, so he said no more.
"Then it's settled that next winter, the palace will select a bride. There are some things that we need to prepare early."
Gong Yaozheng just asked him to try. Since it didn't work, there was no need to stop him.
"Speaking of Ziyu, where did he go today?" Elder Hua suddenly thought of something. There had just been a meeting in the Elder's Court, and everyone in the palace was looking for him, but they couldn't find him.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng's trip to Jiuchen Valley was approved by Zhibian. Is this Gong Ziyu?
At this time, a guard came in and whispered something in Gong Hongyu's ear. Gong Hongyu glared at him.
"Catch this kid and put him in solitary confinement!"
"yes!"
The guards retreated and the meeting broke up.
Gong Huanyu stepped forward and walked to the same place as Gong Hongyu: "Father, don't be angry or make yourself angry. Brother Ziyu, he is just..."
The two of them walked further and further away, and Gong Shangjiao returned to Jiao Palace alone.
Among the noisy crowd in the Old Chen Valley, a group of palace gate guards appeared out of place.
It was a cold night, and Gong Yuanzheng was just about to take Gong Yuanzheng down when he saw the guards heading towards... the direction of Wanhua Tower.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the guards with some confusion: "Who are they?"
"No need to ask, they must be arresting Gong Ziyu again." Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and said with a look of disgust.
"Sister, leave him alone. It's late at night and it's time to go back." Gong Yuanzheng said and wanted to take Gong Yuanzheng away.
"I want to take a walk."
"OK!"
Gong Yuanzheng took Gong Yuanzheng down from the roof of Zhaiyue Tower. The big cloak on his body was blown up by the wind and he landed safely.
Gong Yaozheng looked back in the direction of Wanhua Tower and met the eyes of a guard. The guard nodded slightly towards Gong Yaozheng.
Gong Yuanzheng felt relieved and followed Gong Yuanzheng towards the palace gate.
Halfway through, Gong Yuanzheng stopped. Gong Yuanzheng turned back in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"The lantern is gone!" Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Yuanzheng's hand. The piggy lantern he originally held in his hand disappeared.
"Where did you lose it? I'll get it."
"I don't know either, let's go back and look for it!" Gong Yaozheng said, turning around and heading towards the market.
After taking two steps, he turned around and saw that Gong Yuanzheng had not moved. Instead, he stood still with his arms folded, his head tilted slightly, and he looked at her with a smile.
My eyes are filled with tears. Let me make it clear first. Something was wrong with you just now.
"Sister, you are hiding something from me again!" Gong Yuanzheng smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which were full of accusations.
"Go back quickly. If nothing else happens, there will be a big fish tonight!" Gong Yuanzheng didn't have time to explain to Gong Yuanzheng, so he pulled Gong Yuanzheng to leave.
After pulling hard, there was no pull. Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and smiled. The moonlight hit his face. He moved and took Gong Yuanzheng back to the market.
Standing still, Gong Yaozheng once again refreshed his understanding of Yuanzheng's younger brother's Qinggong.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng came face to face with Gong Ziyu, who was being held by guards, staggering, and clearly drunk at first sight.
His cheeks were slightly red: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Zheng and... hiccup... the second lady!"
Gong Ziyu was unconscious and still had the smell of powder that was unique to Wanhua Tower, which made Gong Yaozheng subconsciously stay away.
Soon enough, a sharp short arrow hit Gong Ziyu. Before anyone could react, Gong Yuanzheng's flying blade moved slightly and intercepted the short arrow. The blades connected and after the collision, They all landed.
Gong Yuanzheng looked in the direction where the short arrow was shot. Just as he was about to chase him, he was stopped by Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yaozheng looked confident, which reassured him.
Gong Ziyu was frightened by this turn of events. He looked at Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng in confusion.
The guard guarding Gong Ziyu was also a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Jin Fan, escort Mr. Yu back, I'm here!" Gong Yuanzheng gave the order, guard, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at Gong Yuanzheng, and saw that Gong Yuanzheng looked like only his sister was following him. look.
"yes!"
Seeing Gong Ziyu and his party leaving, Gong Yuanzheng said: "Sister, why don't you let me chase you?"
"It's not that I won't let you go, it's that it's not necessary. Look, this is not an escort."
"Jin Fu? Why are you here?" Gong Yuanzheng was a little surprised. At this time, Jin Fu should be accompanying Gong Shangjiao.
Jin Fu tied up a man in black and saluted: "Master Zheng, Master Jiao is worried about you and the second lady, so he ordered me to bring someone to protect you."
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Yuanzheng in surprise. He didn't even notice that there were guards following him. When did she find out.
"Just one Gong Ziyu disturbed your mind, how could you find out?" Gong Yaozheng joked.
When Gong Yuanzheng heard about Gong Ziyu, he rushed back to the palace gate and was not willing to meet him face to face. How could he find Jin Fu hiding in the secret?
When Gong Yaozheng learned that Gong Ziyu was in Wanhua Tower, combined with the man in black he saw before, he was able to figure out that this rat in the dark had lost its tail!
She followed Gong Yuanzheng and left, but she was afraid that if Gong Yuanzheng was around, it would be difficult for him to attack him. If he didn't attack, how could he expose his position?
But what she didn't expect was that Gong Yuanzheng's Qinggong was so fast! But the problem is not big, this rat, who is not afraid of death, still shoots a hidden arrow.
The purpose of stopping Gong Yuanzheng was to avoid alerting the enemy. After all, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind!
Look, I’ve caught him!
Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward and took off the mask of the man in black. This man looked very ordinary, someone you wouldn't find in a crowd.
"You are not a monster!" Gong Yuanzheng said firmly.
Gong Yaozheng raised his eyebrows slightly, oh, you can see it all!
"You're a jackdaw!" Seeing that the man in black didn't answer, Gong Yuanzheng smiled evilly and said every word.
The man in black's mouth moved slightly, Gong Yuanzheng's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly removed the man in black's chin!
But it was still too late. Black-red blood flowed from the man in black.
Gong Yuanzheng snorted coldly, with contempt in his eyes. In his hands, do you still want to die?
dream!
Gong Yuanzheng put a pill into the man in black's mouth, and tapped it on the man's large acupuncture points a few times. With smooth movements, the man in black spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted...
Man in black:……
Jin Fu didn't react for a while, and looked at Gong Yaozheng subconsciously. Gong Yaozheng nodded to him: "Bring him back to the palace gate, and take him into the dungeon first. Remember to inform the sword bearer about what happened tonight, don't let you My young master is going to Yu Palace again."
"yes!"
Jin Fu asked someone to take the man in black down, and then he went to Yu Palace to inform Master Zhibian.
Gong Yuanzheng was going to inform Gong Shangjiao about the matter. As soon as he was about to leave, he saw Gong Yuanzheng looking at him intently.
He was a little confused: "Sister?"
"Before I go, I want to ask you a question."
"You ask."
"For example, like this lantern, do you think it should be classified as clothing or a human being?" Gong Yaozheng took out the "lost" pig lantern from somewhere.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't know why, so he said with a smile: "Sister is joking again. This lantern is a dead object, how can it be classified as a human being!"
Gong Yaozheng smiled: "Yes, the lanterns are not human, so of course they are better when they are new. So, no wonder Gong Er is angry. You made me a new one, but you gave him an old one. Give it to me, I'm angry too."
Gong Yuanzheng smiled brightly, but Gong Yuanzheng lowered his eyes: "Sister, stop talking, I understand. That lantern belongs to Brother Lang, right?"
Gong Yaozheng's smile faded, and it felt like a mirror in people's hearts.
"But my sister is right, lanterns are not human beings, so of course they are better when they are new. I will make new ones for my sister and brother for the Lantern Festival next year." Gong Yuanzheng raised his eyes, and the stars were lingering in his eyes, his smile Brilliant, lighting up the entire night sky.
Gong Yaozheng felt sour in her heart. Her Yuanzheng brother was unwilling to spread negative emotions to her even when he was sad.
How could Gong Yuanzheng not know that his sister had been trying to tell him tactfully tonight what he wanted to know.
With such cautious love, how could he bear to let her see him sad?
Besides, my sister really looked down on him. He was just a cool brother, so how could she make him sad?
After all, he still has his sister's unique love for him!
