When the people saw the emperor's figure, although they could not see clearly, it did not affect their joy and excitement.

Even everyone in the Zhang family had excited expressions on their faces and watched without blinking.

The black figure stopped at the highest point.

He looked to the west at Chizhu Dantong.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou saw the clouds in his eyes, and also saw that his expression relaxed at this moment.

They felt inexplicably that this monarch must be an emperor with great ambitions.

The courtiers behind him all knelt down and shouted "Long live, long live!"

Then all the people knelt down, kowtowed and shouted "Long live, long live!"

The sound shook the sky and lingered in the air.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou also knelt down to show off. After saying "Long live, long live" again, they stood up with everyone.

Then I saw several monks standing beside the emperor.

I saw the monk clasping his hands together and reciting a long paragraph of Buddhist scriptures. Then the emperor took the incense handed over by the attendant, bowed three times toward the sunset, and then placed it on the incense burner of the four-sided tripod.

After a while, a long voice sounded.

"The ceremony - it's done -"

Along with this announcement, only music and elegant voices were heard from all directions.

The people were still excited and their eyes were filled with tears unconsciously, praying for everything to go well in the coming year.

When all this is done, the last trace of the sunset disappears.

Darkness is coming too.

Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou thought that after the sacrifice was over, everyone would gradually leave.

Unexpectedly, the two of them saw a dream-like scene.

The lanterns on the street are lit up in rows, like lanterns coming on.

It lit up the streets of the entire capital.

At this moment, Zhang Shuchuan looked at Xia Yunrou under the light and felt the sentence he learned in the text: Looking back at dusk, the person was in the dim light.

It made him want to cry.

Xia Yunrou was lamenting that it turned out that "the colorful flowers are far away from the ground, and the bright lights are far away in the sky" is like this.

It’s only the first day of the Lunar New Year and I still don’t know how gorgeous the Lantern Festival should be.

Xie Daoyan looked at the person diagonally across from them and rubbed his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Guan asked worriedly: "Is the light too dazzling?"

Xie Daoyan shook his head: "I seem to have seen Zhang Shuchuan. Isn't he a student from a poor family? Why is he in Lingxiao Tower?"

Lu Guan looked in the direction he pointed, equally surprised.

A few dudes on the side were changing glasses, and they were a little unhappy when they saw the two of them looking out the window.

"Xiao Yanzi is so stupid reading, come and have a drink!"

Ma Tao held the wine glass and approached the two of them.

Xie Daoshi grabbed it and drank it in one gulp.

Said: "It's not like you don't know that my brother can't drink. My brother drank this wine for him!"

This time, everyone came together.

"I said you two are always looking outside. Are there any stunning figures outside?"

Wang Huaize loves beautiful women the most, he joked.

After saying that, he went to the window and immediately saw the woman sitting in the dimly lit area.

"Really!"

He became excited and pointed.

Everyone looked around and saw a woman with a tall figure and a charming face looking at them calmly.

They were all startled, as if they had been caught. Then they thought, just for a glance, there was nothing to be scared of.

Xia Yunrou felt someone watching her. She looked along the line of sight and saw a group of romantic young men gathering together and looking in her direction.

Maybe the lights here were too bright and attracted other people's attention.

She sat back, lost in the darkness.

A group of people across from here were a little regretful when they saw that they had scared the girl back.

That figure and face are really beautiful, but it's a pity that the thick bangs cover half of her eyes, and you can only vaguely see the sparkling light in her eyes, which is intoxicating.

Wang Huaijun seemed to have lost his mind, "Whose girl is that? So beautiful!"

Everyone nodded as if they wanted to find out.

Xie Daoyan and Lu Guan looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether they should tell them to stop dreaming.

However, Zhang Shuchuan, a student from a poor family, was able to marry such a beautiful girl. He was quite capable.

When they first saw the woman, they didn't notice it, but when they took a second look, they were so surprised that they were a little stunned.

They were able to buy the private room on the fourth floor of Lingxiao Tower, so that woman must have some wealth!

Although they are descendants of aristocratic families, they usually have no shortage of expenses, but if they book a private room on the fourth floor of Lingxiao Tower for one night, they would not dare to spend such money.

Although they were not sure who the owner of Lingxiao Tower was, they did not dare to go there casually. Who knew if there was a third ear there.

The Zhang family was admiring the night view and wanted to order something to eat, but who knew it was horribly expensive.

"My dear! This plate of boiled cabbage costs fifty taels!"

Boss Zhang clicked his tongue, fifty taels can buy several carts of cabbage.

When everyone heard the price of vegetables reported by the waiter, they almost couldn't help but slap the table and get up.

What a robbery!

In the end, no one ordered anything.

Just when everyone was discussing what to eat when they went back for a while, they suddenly heard a shrill sound.

Xia Yunrou and Zhang Shuchuan had excellent eyesight, and they could clearly see a group of ghostly figures in Lingkong Pavilion, about to pierce the emperor's chest with ease.

At this critical moment, a man with white hair and an immortal spirit fell from the sky and blocked the sword.

There was no trace of panic on the emperor's face, but he looked at the assassin in front of him as if he had expected it.

The group of assassins were all wiped out in a short time by the white-haired man and the guards around the emperor.

Just when everyone was relaxing their vigilance, water leaked in the northwest part of the street.

However, the fire was extinguished before it could spread.

Everyone in the Zhang family watched in fear upstairs. This was both an assassination attempt on the emperor and a scammer. They had better go back early.

Just when they were about to leave, Xia Yunrou said with a cold face: "It's too late, we are surrounded."

Everyone was horrified.

But quickly adjusted.

Zhang Shuchuan closed his eyes and listened for a few seconds, and then said: "We must have been affected by Chiyu. There are people lurking to assassinate the emperor everywhere in the four or five miles around here. The number of people in Lingxiao Tower and Lingkong Pavilion is the largest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw numerous assassins coming from all directions, all heading towards Lingkong Pavilion.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, another wave of assassins in black came towards them.

Zhang Shuchuan was the first to use his fist and hit the head of the assassin who arrived first.

When the people who came from behind saw this, they were obviously shaken, but they still came to kill without hesitation.

Xia Yunrou took out the Swiss knife from the space that she bought at the trading interface after arriving in the capital city. She just took it out to see the blood.

Old man Zhang and the others, still a tacit team of three or two, grabbed the kettle on the table and threw it at the night assassin.

Then when the assassin paused for a second, a sudden attack came.
