Xijing Chronicle

The city of lights is like daylight, and pedestrians are like weaving. A young man wearing a cheap mask bought from a small stall, quietly turned into the empty alley.

After turning three or four lanes, the noise behind him gradually faded away, he looked around cautiously, and then raised his hands to his lips and blew a few out of tune whistles.

Not long after the whistle sounded, two masked men appeared in front of him, knelt down and cupped their fists: "Young master!"

The young master said: "Get up." The voice was masked behind the mask, a bit muffled, and the original tune could not be heard.

"Yes!"

The two masked men got up one after another. After raising their heads, they could see three tattoos around their left eyes in the moonlight. They looked like a three-petal flower blooming together. If it wasn't for the strange position, they would have thought it was a woman's flower. Tin it.

"How is the situation in the church?"

"Back to the young master, we have successively recalled many comrades in the past two years, and now we have 2000 people." The person who spoke raised his head, his voice became a little excited, "Young master! We are waiting for you to go back now, We can start trouble! This world should be you..."

"not the right time yet."

The young master shook his head, and that subordinate was resentful and indignant, and couldn't help questioning: "Why did the young master say that?!"

The young master was silent, but the only eyes exposed outside the mask were slightly cold and seemed displeased.The other person who had been silently watching hastily pulled his companion to kneel down and asked loudly, "Who allowed you to talk to the young master like this?!"

Before his companion could speak, he turned to the young master again, bowed his head and said, "Young master, we are all loyal to you, but we have waited for too long for this matter, after several generations of planning and preparation, now we finally have it." The hope of success cannot help Xiao Ji not to be in a hurry, which is why he bumped into you, and I hope the young master will calm down."

After a long time, a leisurely voice came from the top of my head: "If I'm not wrong, Xijing will be in chaos soon, and that's the best time to make a move. Praying mantises are catching cicadas, and squirrels are behind us. It's not the praying mantis, but the oriole."

"Young master is wise."

"Choose a few good players, and immediately go out of the city to catch up with Quan Chengen's convoy, and spy on him secretly. If someone fights with Quan Chengen's people, help them quietly in the dark."

"Yes."

As the moon rises, the street becomes more and more lively. Jin Xuenian is walking on the road, but he is unaware of everything around him——now all his senses are concentrated on the hand held by Gu Huaisheng, and the noise seems to be In the distance, he could only hear his own heartbeat, roaring in his ears like a drum.

This hand... This is the hand that once stroked his upper body, gently applied medicine to him, and gently patted his shoulder to comfort him. A little rough, with calluses on the palms and jaws, but there has never been a moment when I can clearly feel every inch of skin, texture and temperature there.

Nervousness, restlessness, fear, mixed with traces of sweetness... All kinds of emotions were entangled together, disturbing his whole heart.

But, but...

Just in order not to get lost, he actually had so many nasty thoughts, and after he regained consciousness a little bit, he couldn't help but spurn himself. Could it be that after being played around by men for more than ten years, he really must be a man?Someone like me is a different kind and a despicable existence. If Gu Huaisheng knew about my thoughts, it would be very disgusting...

"What are you thinking about? Why are you always distracted tonight? Don't you like this place?" Gu Huaisheng's gentle voice came over, as if a membrane had been pierced, and all the voices poured in at once.

Jin Xuenian suddenly woke up, and before her mind could react, she subconsciously broke away from the hand that Gu Huaisheng was holding him.

Unexpectedly, not only did Gu Huaisheng not let go of him, but the strength in his hand became even heavier.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Huaisheng pursed his lips, frowned slightly, his eyes were full of confusion, and there was also a hint of imperceptible irritation.Jin Xuenian finally came to his senses after being asked this question, froze in place, and apologized embarrassingly after a long time: "I'm sorry, I, I..."

Seeing his appearance, the trace of inexplicable annoyance in Gu Huaisheng's heart just now disappeared, replaced by indescribable distress and pity, he sighed, and said softly: "If you don't like this lantern festival, we will... ..."

Before he could finish speaking, two young men who were traveling with him suddenly bumped into each other without paying attention, interrupting Gu Huaisheng's words just in time. He pulled Jin Xuenian towards him, although he didn't show anything on his face, but there was something in his heart. don't get up fast.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The two teenagers quickly apologized. Neither Gu Huaisheng nor Jin Xuenian liked to pursue such trivial matters, so they could only shake their heads to show that nothing happened. Jump up and squeeze forward.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you won't be able to catch up any later!"

"Oh, I know, it's not that there are too many people, I think it will be too soon..."

While whining, they disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at Jin Xuenian, and suggested: "Look at their appearance, there may be something interesting ahead, why don't we go and see it too."

Jin Xuenian nodded lightly: "Okay."

The crowd seemed to be crowding in this direction, and the further they went, the more difficult it was to move an inch. In the end, Gu Huaisheng used a little trick to release his inner strength a little, and then squeezed his way through the crowd.

As soon as he squeezed out from the crowd, he suddenly found that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he looked intently. It turned out that they had squeezed into the Yuelao Temple at some time. There was a table in the middle of the temple, and there were many messy things on the table. Red threads, although these red threads are all tangled together, but the thread ends are placed on both sides in an orderly manner.

There were quite a few young boys and girls standing beside the table, as if they had been enchanted by some kind of spell. The chattering and noisy boys in the past were all reserved here, and their every move was deliberately modified, which only made people feel cute. Funny again.

Seeing this, Gu Huaisheng had actually vaguely guessed the purpose of the red line on the table, and he was going to pull Jin Xuenian away, but when he looked back and saw Jin Xuenian, he suddenly remembered what he heard that night—" I've been abnormal for a long time, woman...I can't do it, don't ruin other girls for nothing..."

That is to say, with a thought, he still stayed with Jin Xuenian.

It has to be said that Gu Huaisheng and Jin Xuenian stood out from the crowd among this group of young brats. After standing for a while, a girl couldn't help but secretly look this way.Of course, not only those girls, even the teenagers here have noticed them, looking at them with jealousy and hostility from time to time.

"Hey Brother Gu! Brother Jin! Are you here too?!" At this moment, Xue Zinu's voice suddenly came from behind, and Jin Xuenian suddenly felt that the hand holding her became extremely hot, making her It's not that he dumped it, and it's not that he didn't dump it.

Fortunately, I don't know if I felt the embarrassment and struggle in Jin Xuenian's heart. Before others noticed, Gu Huaisheng let go of his hand naturally, turned around and smiled, "Why are you here too?"

"I heard there's something fun here, so let's join in the fun!" It was Chu Tingya who answered, he pushed forward as he talked, and soon reached the corner of the table, and turned back excitedly: "My lord, Brother Jin, you’re here, why don’t you come and have a try!”

Jin Xuenian asked: "...What the hell is this?"

"This is also a custom," Xue Zinu said. "Usually those girls can hardly go out, and those boys can't see any girls. Many couples only know each other's appearance when they are bridal chambers. You can take a closer look below. The red thread on the table over there is actually used to connect fate. The left end of the thread is selected by men, and the right is for girls. Pick a red thread at random. If it happens to be the same as the other party If there is a red line, it means that you are destined and very spiritual."

After hearing his words, Jin Xuenian immediately felt like retreating.However, Gu Huaisheng didn't seem to see his eyes, and smiled to himself: "Although I never believed in these things, since they are here, Xue Nian?"

Jin Xuenian could only nod his head. Anyway, among so many red threads, he probably couldn't pick the one that happened to have a girl. Thinking of this, he casually picked up a red thread beside Gu Huaisheng.
