night.
The moonlight is beautiful and the lights are bright.
Laughter and shouts echoed throughout Yushui City.
Walking on the street, Chu Qinghe and the others looked like the most beautiful scenery at this time.
Wherever they passed along the way, the eyes of both men and women were focused on a few people, as if everything around them was blurred, only Chu Qinghe and the others became clearer and clearer among the bright lights.
Whenever a few people passed by, the bustling crowd quickly died down.
It wasn't until a few people walked away that a series of exclamations and uproar emerged.
But for such a situation, whether it is Chu Qinghe or Jellyfish Yinji, they are all used to it, and their expressions have not changed at all.
But Qu Feiyan and the others were still wandering around in a hurry.
But compared to the past, the three-person team has become a four-person team.
But compared to Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, Lin Shiyin and Xue Qianxun were more quiet.
When he arrived at the center of Yushui City, looking at the crowded streets, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but said: "Compared to last year's Lantern Festival, there seem to be more people in Yushui City this year!"
Hearing this, Lin Shiyin said with a smile: "In the past year or so, there have been almost no disturbances by warriors or gang fights. As time has gone by, more businessmen and family members have come here, and the city has naturally become more crowded. It’s lively.”
At any time, a place with better security will attract more people to gather.
Yushui City is located in a remote location, and even top-notch experts are rarely seen.
But because of Chu Qinghe, all of Yushui City is now under the control of the Sun and Moon God Sect, including those from the Yue Yihua Palace and the Jellyfish Yinji Shenshui Palace.
Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as two top forces and one first-class force guarding it together.
As for the imperial court, Zhu Wuli must have made a special explanation there.
Under such circumstances, who dares to cause trouble in Yushui City?
Therefore, although Chu Qinghe did not do anything deliberately, he also succeeded in blessing the party unknowingly.
Qu Feiyan curled his lips and looked depressed.
For others, the improvement of public security in Yushui City can be said to be a huge benefit without any harm.
But for Qu Feiyan, it was harmful.
During this time last year, Qu Feiyan was occasionally able to rob the rich and help the poor.
In the process, you will get some hard-earned money as a comeback fund when playing mahjong or playing Landlords later.
But now, because the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Fist Sect in the city have been conquered by the Sun Moon God Sect, and under the joint management of the two sects, even those profiteers who were unkind in the past have restrained themselves. Now Qu Feiyan is embarrassed to treat these people again. Take action.
This result has led to a sharp decrease in the number of targets that Qu Feiyan can now rob from.
In the past, when Qu Feiyan played mahjong with several girls, the gambling chips were measured in "liang".
But now, "wen" is used as the unit of measurement.
But even in this case, it often happens that the wallet is cleaner than the face.
Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but think of the two boxes containing money under Xiao Zhao's bed.
"This sister can last a lifetime."
At the same time, at the entrance of Yihuadeng shop.
As the owner of this lantern shop, Bai Changfu looked at the poem written by the man in front of him, hid the disgust in his eyes and returned the bad poem he had just written with a smile.
After coaxing the other party to spend money to buy a lantern for the woman next to him with his sharp tongue, Bai Changfu glanced at the scholar beside the stall who was still thinking hard and trying to write a good poem, and sighed in his heart.
Last year, after seeing the poems written by Chu Qinghe, Bai Changfu's appetite seemed to be spoiled. In the following lantern festivals, he never saw a poem that could make him feel amazing at first sight. .
On the contrary, I saw many good lines from the so-called "Heart-Hearted Arsonist" storybook.
But those things appear in the storybook and cannot be sold.
During the New Year Lantern Festival half a month ago, Bai Changfu was happily preparing to wait for Chu Qinghe to take the beautiful woman to leave the calligraphy treasure again and make a fortune for himself. However, Bai Changfu failed to see Chu Qinghe from night to day. .
Bai Changfu felt a sense of loss for the past half month.
Uncomfortable.
However, just when Bai Changfu forcibly cheered up, put a smile on his face and shouted the slogan "Exchange poems for lamps, without taking a penny" to attract people, in the dim light, Bai Changfu quickly noticed the warbler on the street with a swipe of his eyes. Yingyanyan is a couple of women who are incredibly beautiful.
And when he moved his eyes slightly and noticed Chu Qinghe walking in front of the girls, Bai Changfu felt that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were not weak, and his whole body was full of strength.
Then, Bai Changfu rushed to Chu Qinghe in a few steps.
"Sir! Do you want to exchange poems for lamps this year?"
Looking at Bai Changfu in front of them, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue raised their eyebrows slightly, and the memories of last year suddenly came to their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, Yaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
Dongfang Bubai, who was next to him, glanced at Yao Yue and narrowed his eyes.
"Does this woman still want to do her old trick again?"
Last year, after Chu Qinghe composed the poem here, Dongfang Bubai secretly sent someone to buy back the manuscript of Chu Qinghe's poem, but the news he got was that Chu Qinghe's manuscript had been bought first. .
According to Bai Changfu's description, Dongfang Bubai can be sure that it was the people from Yihua Palace who bought the manuscript of the poem first.
But now, looking at Yao Yue's expression, Dongfang Bubai didn't know what Yao Yue was thinking.
In response, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Sang Sanniang, who had been following secretly in the distance.
After moving back a few steps without leaving a trace, the true energy in Dongfang Bubai's body suddenly looked at Sang Sanniang.
At the same time, Sang Sanniang in the distance also noticed Dongfang Bubai's gaze, and her original laziness instantly subsided.
When her eyes were focused, Sang Sanniang had already seen Dongfang Bubai's lips moving slightly.
"After we leave, take away Qinghezuo's poetry manuscript as soon as possible."
After understanding Dongfang Bubai's meaning through lip reading, Sang Sanniang immediately cupped her fists and bowed to signal.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai withdrew his gaze, then took two steps forward again and walked in front of Chu Qinghe.
However, what Dongfang Bubai didn't know at this time was that the jellyfish Yin Ji next to him had taken in all her actions just now.
After the corner of his eye glanced at Sang Sanniang in the distance, Jellyfish Yinji took another look at Yao Yue, who had a smile on her lips, and then her face lowered slightly, showing a look of thinking.
"Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue are reacting wrongly now."
With this thought, when Jellyfish Yinji looked at Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her eyes.
But during the process, Jellyfish Yinji did not make any noise, but chose to wait and see what happened.
He was just out to play. Now that he met him again, Chu Qinghe did not refuse Bai Changfu in front of him.
Seeing Chu Qinghe nod his head, Bai Changfu suddenly felt happy.
At this moment, Bai Changfu seemed to see several ingots of gold waving to him.
Excited in his heart, Bai Changfu quickly bowed his body and brought Chu Qinghe to an empty desk next to the stall.
And unlike others who just stood and wrote, Bai Changfu even thoughtfully brought a stool for Chu Qinghe.
And he took out the best paper in his shop.
Taking Bai Changfu's move into his eyes, Chu Qinghe didn't care.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe began to write.
Seeing this, Bai Changfu stepped forward deliberately to take a look, but as soon as he took a step forward, Bai Changfu found that Chu Qinghe was already occupied by several people from Dongfang Bubai.
Fortunately, while Chu Qinghe was writing, Qu Feiyan on the side would unconsciously read out the verses written by Chu Qinghe.
It won't make Bai Changfu Kong anxious.
"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold, and the dew is thick."
"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."
When the last word "Chu Qinghe" fell, the eyes of Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue and other women beside him all flickered.
Looking at the graceful words with thin handwriting on the paper, the women's eyes flicked over each word one after another, and beautiful pictures appeared in their minds unconsciously.
Same as last year.
When they saw Chu Qinghe's poem, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both felt that this poem was written by Chu Qinghe with reference to them.
But the difference is that the only ones who had such an idea last year were Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
But this year, there are two more girls, Jellyfish Yinji and Lianxing.
Xue Qianxun on the side was softly chanting the poem that Chu Qinghe had written at this time, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with surprise.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Chu Qinghe would have such attainments in poetry.
After putting down the pen, Chu Qinghe said to Bai Changfu: "There may be a few more lanterns this year."
Facing what Chu Qinghe said, the shopkeeper who was still immersed in the poem came back to his senses and said quickly: "It's worth it, it's worth it, it's so worth it, not to mention just a few lanterns, even if the young master wants to give the villain's It doesn’t matter if all the lanterns are replaced.”
Next to her, when she heard that Chu Qinghe actually wanted to use such words and poems to exchange for a few broken lanterns, Jellyfish Yin Ji's expression changed slightly.
But before Jellyfish Yinji could speak to stop her, Jellyfish Yinji suddenly noticed that Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai had no intention of stopping her.
After being in contact with the two women for so long, how could Jellyfish Yinji not know their personalities?
It stands to reason that when I saw this poem written by Chu Qinghe, I was probably the first person to have the idea of taking it as my own.
Instead of letting others get Chu Qinghe's poem manuscript like now.
But Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai didn't have any exit to stop them.
Then, thinking of Yao Yue's expression just now, Dongfang Bubai's steps back, and Sang Sanniang's lips speaking orders, Jellyfish Yinji's mind flashed, and she couldn't guess what the two women were thinking at this moment.
"Ha! So that was the idea."
After understanding the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the two women, Jellyfish Yinji suddenly felt enlightened.
However, when looking at the poem manuscript on the table, Jellyfish Yinji couldn't help but have the idea of snatching it away.
However, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were clearly ahead. In this belated situation, it was too late for Jellyfish Yin Ji to do anything.
"You suffer from inexperience!"
Regarding this, Jellyfish Yinji couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Glancing at the poem manuscript that Bai Changfu had put away, he felt as if he had lost a precious martial arts of the highest level, and his heart ached so hard that he could hardly breathe.
Here, after obtaining Bai Changfu's consent, Qu Feiyan and the girls had already begun to choose their favorite lanterns.
After a while, after the women and Chu Qinghe had an extra lantern in their hands, they left with Bai Changfu's thanks.
After Chu Qinghe and others left, Bai Changfu went directly into the shop, picked up some wine and drank while waiting.
The leisurely look on his face is quite a bit like "Jiang Taigong fishes for those who wish to take the bait".
More than ten breaths later, almost before Chu Qinghe and the others walked out of this street, Sang Sanniang, who had been waiting secretly, stepped into the shop.
After walking in front of Bai Changfu, Sang Sanniang said, "Where is the poem manuscript left by the young master just now?"
Looking at Sang Sanniang in front of him, Bai Changfu couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "Why is it the same person is coming this year?"
Although he was puzzled, Bai Changfu still smiled and took out the poem manuscript he had just folded and put it in his arms, and then opened his mouth to ask for money.
However, the moment Bai Changfu just took out the manuscript, a "thank you" came lightly into Bai Changfu's ears.
The next second, in front of Bai Changfu, where was Sang Sanniang's figure?
Along with Sang Sanniang's disappearance, there was also the manuscript that Bai Changfu had just held in his hand.
There was only an ingot of ten taels of silver left on the table next to him.
Seeing this, after blinking his eyes, a particularly sad scream suddenly came from the store.
"My poem manuscript was robbed~"
While shouting, Bai Changfu grabbed the silver on the table and ran out of the shop and looked around.
But in this crowded environment, Bai Changfu could not find Sang Sanniang again.
In response to this, Bai Changfu couldn't help but feel sad and sat paralyzed at the door of the store and yelled again.
"Robbery~"
Suddenly, several disciples from Yihua Palace quickly walked through the crowd and walked to the door of the shop.
After taking a look inside the shop, one of the Yihua Palace disciples took out two ingots of gold worth one hundred taels and asked, "I bought the poem manuscript that a young master just left."
Looking at the two ingots of gold shining brightly under the light in front of him, Bai Changfu looked at the ten taels of silver in his hand, and cried again: "It's gone, it was robbed."
After hearing what Bai Changfu said, the expressions of these Yihua Palace disciples changed.
"Oops, it's too late."
Then, after the Yihua Palace disciples looked at each other, the Yihua Palace disciple holding the gold in his hand said in a deep voice: "Split up and chase."
As soon as the voice came out, these Yihua Palace disciples rushed in different directions.
Bai Changfu was left alone, slumped at the door, heartbroken and unable to breathe.
at the same time.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai suddenly glanced to the side as if he noticed something from the corner of his eye.
When his eyes moved slightly and glanced over Sang Sanniang's body, the corners of Dongfang Bubai's mouth slowly curled up.
South of the Ming Dynasty, on a building near the lakeside beside the Jade Lake.
Sitting cross-legged in this room, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting on a bamboo table in front of him. Apart from the chessboard and chess box, there was only a bronze mask casually buckled on the table.
When the chess pieces landed lightly on the chessboard, Bai Xiaosheng slowly said: "Up to now, there has been no news from Yushui City. It seems that Little Friend Chu will not come to see the big show at Shenjian Villa this time. .”
Gong Ziyu said in an indifferent tone: "It's not strange. After all, even Xie Xiaofeng went there in person. The situation is completely clear. After knowing the ending, the play itself will become boring. If it were me, I might not be too lazy to travel across mountains and rivers to watch one. A play with a determined ending.”
Listening to Gong Ziyu's words, Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said: "Indeed, with Chu Xiaoyou's pure and indifferent temperament, if he hadn't wanted to win a smile before, I am afraid he would not have participated in our affairs with Southern Shaolin."
As he said that, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but look around.
Looking at the dozens of lanterns lit in the room, Bai Xiaosheng said, "I have never seen you like to make the house so bright at night before?"
Listening to Bai Xiaosheng's question, Gong Ziyu on the opposite side also held the piece and said at the same time: "When I went to Brother Chu before, I found that the lights in Brother Chu's courtyard were brightly lit at night, so I wanted to feel whether it was like this. I didn’t know what the meaning of the meeting was, so I followed the example and learned from it.”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng asked: "Do you feel different?"
Gong Ziyu thought for a while and smiled: "It does feel different. After the light becomes brighter, I feel more at ease and my mood seems to be much better."
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "Whether it is practical or not, what can be brought about by light? It is the human heart."
Gong Ziyu smiled and said: "Although it is indeed one's own heart that decides this, but if it can bring some senses through external objects, why wouldn't you want to do it? As long as you feel comfortable."
Hearing Gong Ziyu's words, Bai Xiaosheng was startled.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment Bai Xiaosheng seemed to see the shadow of Chu Qinghe in Gong Ziyu's body.
After being stunned for a moment, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly shook his head and chuckled.
Then, in Gong Ziyu's calm gaze, Bai Xiaosheng said slowly: "When I first met that little friend Chu, I thought he was thinking of you, but now, I feel Chu from you. The feeling of a little friend.”
Facing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Gongziyu said with a smile: "When you say it like that, it's a good change."
In response to this, Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said: "It seems that after resurrecting to death this time, your state of mind has indeed changed. It is no wonder that you were able to enter the realm of heaven and human beings in such a short period of time. Three flowers.”
Gong Ziyu said in a calm tone: "If you give up, you will gain. If you can give up, your mood will improve. It's just the elimination of obsession."
After hearing the voice, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "I have been planning for so long, but in the end I can only gain more than half a year to rule the world. The price of giving up is too high."
Young Master Yuyun said calmly: "Half a year is already enough time to make money."
After saying that, Gong Ziyu looked at Bai Xiaosheng opposite, with thoughts flowing in his eyes and a playful smile on his lips.
