Looking at the mountains and rivers

A burst of chaotic voices suddenly sounded behind them, and the diners around all raised their heads and whispered: "It's from Prince Mu's Mansion."

"In the middle of the night, why are there so many palace guards coming to Xifang? Could it be His Royal Highness Mu Wang?"

"If it was really His Royal Highness King Mu, this street would have been emptied long ago. I recognize the leader, who seems to be the chief steward of the palace."

Wei Changxuan didn't look back, but stiffened slightly, and said in a low voice, "Fang Ming came out to look for us, do you want to go back with him?"

Yang Yan obviously also heard these movements, and the corners of his lips raised: "Whoever wants to go back with him, let's run."

He looked a bit mischievous, Wei Changxuan glanced at him, felt helpless and funny, and pulled his hand from the table, but before they got up, the sound of footsteps approached them.

Fang Ming searched almost the entire Jian'an city with these men overnight, and just came all the way from Dongfang.Cars and horses came and went frequently that night, and it was extremely difficult to search. The attendants had searched every shop along the street, but they still found nothing.Just when Fang Ming was anxious, he glanced casually, and found that there seemed to be two familiar figures in the open-air pastry shop by the roadside.He led his men and strode towards those two people, but those two people reacted faster, stood up quickly, and ran away along the shadow by the wall.

Fang Ming froze there for a moment, he couldn't believe that the figure running in front was really his invisible master.

"Boss Fang, shall we chase after him?" One of the stewards under his command smiled and said, "It seems that the one in front is really the prince, but he ran away on purpose, probably because he didn't want to go back with us."

Fang Ming frowned: "What is the status of the lord, wandering the streets in the middle of the night, it's not a joke. You lead people to block up the street from both sides, and you have to carry the lord back."

"Yes!"

The street was no longer as crowded with people as before, and most of the lanterns hanging around were extinguished. Yang Yan dragged Wei Changxuan and ran forward quickly. He didn't know where he ran, and finally stumbled and stopped. , laughing loudly in the quiet night: "Fang...Fang Ming's mouth is probably crooked with anger."

Wei Changxuan was pulled by him, seeing his flying and jumping expression, he also laughed, and the corners of his mouth drooped again.He knew that this was the first time Yang Yan ran and laughed like this outside, not in the deep inner courtyard of the palace, not sitting on the high golden throne, sneering contemptuously at the people bowing their heads at their feet .

"Yexi..." He held back the laughing Yang Yan.

Yang Yan also gradually stopped laughing, and raised his head in the semi-dark street, the light of the lantern reflected on his face, there was a kind of hazy beauty, Wei Changxuan suddenly kissed him.

The snow stopped in the middle of the night, and the moonlight was faintly seen through the thick clouds. The mottled moon shadow was cast on Yilan Lake, and was crushed by the ripples of the lake.There are several painting boats parked on the lake, and they are swaying and drifting away at this moment. An old musician is still sitting in the cold cabin, playing the flute and playing a euphemistic and sad tune.There were sporadic pedestrians walking around in Xifang's market, and no one noticed that in the dark alley around them, two young people were kissing passionately and lingeringly.

After walking out of the narrow alley, the lights in front are bright again, but it is a huge lamp wheel rising from the sky. The bound embroidered pearls and jades made ding-ding-dong-dong crackling sounds as they turned, which was very pleasant to the ear.The lower, inner and outer third floors of the lamp wheel were full of people, it seemed that they were not only looking at the lamp, but also had other lively activities.

Before Yang Yan came close, he heard voices of people. He thought that most of the pedestrians had dispersed in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly there were so many people gathered here, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is the front?"

"It's Qianshui Building." Wei Changxuan looked at the once-familiar building and smiled slightly, "I think that Boss Song has used some new method to attract guests."

"Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, my master has prepared green tea. Passers-by guests are invited to come in and have some refreshments." A young man in the middle of the crowd was speaking, and he was so angry that he almost muffled everyone's voices when he opened his mouth. It was covered, "In addition, the master has prepared a lot of money as a lottery. As long as someone can shoot down the seven lanterns on this lantern wheel, he will be the winner."

As soon as they heard that there was a lot of money, the crowd immediately became agitated, rushing to shoot arrows.The guy smiled again and said: "Everyone, don't panic, the bows and arrows are all ready, five arrows per person, if you want to shoot the lantern to win the lottery, just come to the villain and let me know."

Immediately, someone shouted: "If you want to shoot seven lamps, why are you only given five arrows?"

The man still smiled: "This way, you can show your abilities, not to mention, today's lottery is different from the past, it is really priceless." He said, pointing behind his back.

Everyone saw something black and heavy covered with red silk in the lobby of Qianshui Building, which seemed to be a big dendrobium, and they couldn't help being curious: "What is so valuable, let's take it out and have a look!" stand up.

The guy was not stage-frightened either, he bowed his hands to the crowd, turned around and tore off the red silk, and saw that there was indeed a copper dendrobium underneath, and the halo in the dendrobium was full of pearls the size of a finger.

"There are ten dendrobiums of such pearls, so they are priceless, right?" The man smiled, "Which one will come first?"

"Pearl of Ten Dendrobium, it's really a big deal." Yang Yan smiled slightly and whispered in Wei Changxuan's ear.

"Boss Song of Qianshui Building has always been generous. I used to shoot willows in Xifang every month, and I got support from Boss Song."

"Oh?" Yang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked amusedly, "Then why don't you go up to support the show today?"

Wei Changxuan patted his head: "Let's see."

While they were talking, a dozen or so people had already gone up.Dazhao has always admired archery regardless of martial arts, knowing that shooting down seven lamps with five arrows is extremely difficult, yet many people are eager to take bows and arrows.The high archery platform was set up in front of Qingshui Tower. The last one to go up was Dai, a captain of the imperial army. He was very good at foot archery. He walked up the platform with confidence, but unexpectedly, only three of the five arrows were shot down. Lantern was so angry that he dropped his bow and cursed: "Shooting from the back is laborious. The lamp is hung so high and it keeps spinning. How can you shoot it down? I think your shopkeeper has clearly made up his mind." , Knowing that no one can shoot down the seven lamps, what kind of pearls and ten dendrobiums are all just tricks to deceive people!"

The man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Dai, don't rush to get angry. If you can't shoot, you can't guarantee that others can't shoot. Why don't you go upstairs to have a cup of tea and see other people's archery skills."

Dai Duwei heard that there was a run on him hidden in his words, he couldn't hold back any more, and almost had a big quarrel with him.But someone in the crowd said loudly: "Today's festival, everyone, don't lose your interest, let me try."

The clerk immediately cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your surname?"

The man seemed to laugh: "My surname is Yang."

"Surname Yang?" The clerk bowed respectfully, "It turns out to be the noble surname of the Tian family, Mr. Yang please."

Immediately, people on the left and right handed out horn bows and five feather arrows. The person in the crowd picked up the horn bows and smiled again: "You don't need so many, one is enough."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone around was shocked, and they all looked at him, and the people on both sides also moved aside to give him the way to the high platform.Although Yang Yan couldn't see it, he also felt that he was under the watchful eyes of everyone. He took a step back calmly, trying to walk away from Wei Changxuan, but forgot that the belt buckles around their waists were still fastened together. At the place, he was dragged by life and death.Before he could make another move, Wei Changxuan pulled him with one hand, strode past everyone's sight, and walked towards the high platform.

Yang Yan listened to the discussions all around, and felt embarrassed for some reason, so he struggled slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'll just wait for you below."

However, Wei Changxuan smiled: "I reported to Mr. Yang just now, so of course I want you to shoot this arrow."

Yang Yan was stunned, and frowned angrily: "You know I can't shoot arrows, let alone me..."

"It's okay, Ye Xi," Wei Changxuan's voice suddenly softened, and he pulled Yang Yan to the high platform, facing the bright light wheel, "It doesn't matter if you can't see it, didn't I say, I Be your eyes."

Yang Yan was stunned, he took the horn bow from Wei Changxuan in a daze, feeling heavy in his hand, and the guard Changxuan held his arm and taught him to lift the bow, while the other hand held his hand Picked up the feather arrow.

"It's not difficult to shoot an arrow," Wei Changxuan hugged him from behind, and said patiently close to his ear, "It's just taking the arrow and then drawing the bow..."

This horn bow was considered flexible, but Yang Yan was still surprised by the strength when he pulled it away. His hands were held by Wei Changxuan, and he pushed the bow to the extreme bit by bit.He could hear the rattle of the muscles and joints of the arms behind him when he drew the bow. Those arms contained infinite strength, which made him forget his fear, and even his slightly trembling fingers stopped trembling.

The light wheel above the head was still turning slowly, and the lights were twinkling like stars. The two people on the high platform were stacked one on top of the other, their bows in their hands were like a full moon, but they didn't shoot out, as if they were still there.

Yang Yan noticed that Wei Changxuan's muscles were stretched to the limit like this bow, so he couldn't help asking softly: "Wei Changxuan?" Heavy.

Wei Changxuan seemed to know what he was going to ask, he smiled very lightly, and the hot air in his mouth touched Yang Yan's ear: "Wait for the wind."

wind?Before Yang Yan had time to doubt, he sensed that the wind was blowing. At the same time, the bow in his hand was pushed out a little, and he almost thought that the bow was about to break.In just a blink of an eye, Wei Changxuan shouted in a deep voice: "Let go!"

The feathered arrow shot out along with the wind, drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and passed through the huge light wheel. The light wheel was hit by this force and stopped rotating. People couldn't even see this arrow. No matter what the direction of the arrow is, I can only see the colorful lights hanging from the light wheel falling like meteors, and the applause erupting from the high platform is instantly deafening.

Soon the crowd swarmed to the audience, wanting to take a closer look at what Young Master Yang, who had won the Ten Dendrobium Pearl, looked like. However, the guys from Qianshui Building had already opened up a way to block everyone's sight. He bowed respectfully and said: "Young masters, my master is here to invite you."
