I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Before the Xixia people leave Daheng, their every move will be closely watched by the Supervision Office and Dongling Guard.

Gu Yuanbai also asked the envoys who sent the ransom note to Xixia, and asked them how the Xixia emperor behaved when he received the ransom note.

The envoys spoke for a long time, and said: "After the Xixia emperor ordered people to read the book, he was furious and furious. He ordered the guards to suppress us, but fortunately they were stopped by all the courtiers. We were worried, but within a few days, When the Xixia Emperor summoned us into the palace again, although his expression was still unkind, he was already preparing for compensation."

But if they were asked where Xixia prepared these things, they would not be able to answer.Because only they know what is in their own treasury.

Gu Yuanbai was sure that there was a problem with Xixia, so secretly following and checking was indispensable. In this respect, there was no need to worry about humanitarianism. If it was necessary, Gu Yuanbai would even do a good job of directly detaining all Xixia people without morality. preparation.

Of course, Gu Yuanbai didn't want to damage Daheng's credit and reputation diplomatically if it wasn't necessary.

February 25, Shangyuan Festival.

This day was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there was no curfew at night. Xue Jiuyao wanted to invite an order to enter the palace early in the morning, but Gu Yuanbai refused.It wasn't until noon, when the afterglow of the setting sun left the earth still warm, that the Holy Majesty changed into a crow-blue uniform, put on the silver-haired cloak that was delivered yesterday, and combed his hair out of the cloak before walking leisurely. The pace, leisurely walked out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Xue Jiuyao standing tall and straight with his hands behind his back.

Xue Jiuyao was dressed in a crimson purple robe, with a slender and straight figure.When he saw Gu Yuanbai, his eyes seemed to light up, his gaze was straight, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

Gu Yuanbai approached, glanced at him, amused, "Come back to your senses. Why do you have such an expression, did you see some immortal?"

Xue Yuan restrained and wanted to look away, but finally gave up, muttering: "I saw the Holy One."

Gu Yuanbai paused, goosebumps all over his body.

During the Lantern Festival, it was so lively that even horse-drawn carriages could not enter the busy market, and could only stay on both sides of the market.In order to save trouble, Gu Yuanbai did not take a carriage, but walked on foot, and walked slowly when he was tired.

Xue Yuan still remembered what he said, "Do you still feel weak in your hands and feet when you walk?"

Gu Yuanbai said: "It's fine now."

Xue Yuan wanted to ask again, but Gu Yuanbai reminded: "Weifu private visit, don't say the wrong thing."

Xue Yuan changed his mouth, "Yuan Bai."

Gu Yuanbai: "..."

You really know how to hit a snake with a stick.

Not long after walking, the group saw the brightly lit Lantern Street.Transparent lanterns hang high in the street market, big and small, crowds of people are like a sea, laughter suddenly hits like water pouring into a frying pan, Gu Yuanbai led the people in, and it didn't take long for them to be submerged among the people. middle.

Beside Huadeng Street, there is a gurgling stream of water, in which there are dangling lotus lanterns floating.The young men and women in the market are separated by a long distance from the river, and they say a few words shyly from time to time.

Gu Yuanbai was looking at a lantern in the shape of an old cow, but his hand was suddenly held by another person, and another person's hand was inserted between his five fingers. Gu Yuanbai looked down at his hand, then looked up, and saw Xue Yuan's nonchalant expression .

"Release." Gu Yuanbai said.

Xue Yuan bit the bullet, "Don't let go."

Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes, and Xue Yuan caught a glimpse of his expression from the corner of his eye, and added another sentence with a tingling scalp: "There are many people here, I'm afraid you will get lost."

After holding for a while, Xue Yuan's palms were already sweating, the sweat was sticky, his palms were close to each other, and his pulse could touch the same.

Gu Yuan was overjoyed, "I got lost?"

Xue Yuan said: "It's bad, I will get lost, you have to watch me."

Afterwards, no matter what Gu Yuanbai said, he refused to let go, his palms were as if they were ironed.The pace was getting faster and faster, and the people behind were squeezed out of the crowd, shouting to Gu Yuanbai: "Master, wait for the little ones!"

Xue Yuan pretended he didn't hear, and ran around holding Gu Yuanbai, and quickly left a group of people ten steps away.

It wasn't until he saw a sugar seller's stall that Xue Yuan suddenly stopped.

Gu Yuanbai almost bumped into him, and said with a dark face, "Xue Jiuyao!"

Xue Yuan pointed to the sugar man: "Want to eat?"

Gu Yuanbai glanced at it and was aroused by the food, so he stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what kind of sugar man will you be?"

The white-haired old man said quite complacently: "Young master, the old man knows a lot. If you tell me, I can't count after breaking my fingers."

Gu Yuanbai smiled, pointed to Xue Yuan, "Can he do it?"

The old man looked Xue Yuan up and down with his eyes wide open, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

"Then be him," Gu Yuanbai took out a few copper coins and said intentionally, "Here's a pig's ear."

Xue Yuan was startled, and couldn't help laughing.

The old man took the money, hooked the browned and sweet shreds of sugar and flew up and down on the bamboo stick, but after a while, a man with a tall horse and a pig's ears appeared on the bamboo stick.

Gu Yuanbai took the sugar figurine, smiled sinisterly at Xue Yuan, then clicked and bit off the entire sugar figurine's head, "Not bad."

Xue Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

The two left the sugar figurine stand, Xue Yuan felt chills when he heard the sound of him crushing the sugar figurines one by one, "Your Majesty, don't eat, sweeten your teeth."

Gu Yuanbai said, "What did you call me?"

Xue Yuan choked, and changed his words: "Yuan—"

Gu Yuanbai looked at him with a smile.

Xue Yuan swallowed, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Yuanye, Baiye, listen to the little one, please, don't eat any more."

Gu Yuanbai didn't want to eat either, he glanced at the sugar figurine: "There's still half of it left."

Without saying a word, Xue Yuan immediately took it and put it in his own mouth. After eating, he threw the bamboo stick away, finally freeing his hand again.Don't forget to change another hand to hold Gu Yuanbai, "Why is this hand so cold?"

Gu Yuanbai struggled for his hand, but didn't move away, he simply used Xue Yuan as a stove to warm his hands, "It's because your hands are too hot."

Xue Yuan smirked twice, "I'll cover you more."

After eating the sugar figurines, fried goose meat, scallion tea, and sanzi soup all the way, all kinds of snacks are fascinating. This is the first time for Gu Yuanbai to visit the night market of the ancients in a real sense. Opened up, I went to eat spring pancakes, Mrs. Li's meatloaf, and soup dumpling. I was careful when eating the soup dumpling. The skin was thin and the meat was juicy. I lifted it gently, sucked it, and ate it. It was so delicious that Gu Yuanbai ate two.

He only took one or two bites of each to taste the taste, and he didn't dare to eat more, for fear that he would not be able to continue eating if he was full.Fortunately, Xue Yuan's appetite is incomparably huge. He has solved [-]% of his food along the way, but he still looks calm and not full.

After eating a four-color steamed bun that was as small as a baby's palm, Gu Yuanbai willingly conceded defeat, "I'll have another glutinous rice cake at the end, I can't eat anything else."

Xue Yuan couldn't help showing a bit of regret on his face, the Holy Majesty was so full that he would not be able to eat what the Holy Majesty had tasted.

The two went to buy glutinous rice cakes, stood at the stall and looked at the end of the street. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help clicking his tongue. It took half an hour to walk all the way, but it seemed that they hadn't walked a third of the way on this street. one.

Xue Yuan took two glutinous rice cakes, this glutinous rice cake was only about the size of a finger, as soft as a rice cake, and there was a red jujube sandwiched in the middle of the glutinous rice cake, with a light sweet taste, not greasy, but relieved The greasy taste of the things I ate before.

Gu Yuanbai ate slowly, finally freed his eyes from the snack, and looked at the playthings on the side of the road.

But with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Yi not far ahead.The little boy was carried on his back, his face was rosy, he smiled obediently and excitedly, there was a gap in his small teeth, he was looking around, suddenly his eyes froze, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he met Gu Yuanbai eyes.

"Nephew," Chu Yi couldn't help tugging at the sleeves of the people around him, "Nephew!"

Chu Wei looked back at him with soft eyes: "What?"

Chu Yi whispered in disbelief: "I saw the Holy One! It's right behind us!"

Chu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked back subconsciously.

But tens of thousands of people came and went, lanterns were hung all over the sky, and among the mountains and mountains, he did not see the shadow of the Holy Majesty.

In the dark alley, the smell of glutinous rice cakes permeates the whole body.

The street outside was extremely noisy, and people in the palace could be heard yelling at Xue Yuan from time to time, but in the alley a few steps away, it was quiet and dark, only the sound of breathing and the murmur of water.

Gu Yuanbai felt that he was dragged into the alley by Xue Yuan in the blink of an eye. Xue Yuan was in front of him, and hissed: "Your Majesty, don't go looking for Lord Chu."

Gu Yuanbai's voice was full of anger, "When did I go to find him?!"

"Calm down," Xue Yuan lowered his head, couldn't help approaching Gu Yuanbai's neck, coaxing in a low voice, "Get angry when you're full, it's not good for your body."

Gu Yuanbai tilted his neck. In the darkness, he felt his neck burning. A hand touched Gu Yuanbai's right ear. Gu Yuanbai knew that he was touching the red mark.

The anger in his heart rose again, Gu Yuanbai kicked him, and said with a sneer, "It's gone long ago."

Xue Yuan was hit by this, and paused, "Your Majesty knows that I did it?"

Gu Yuanbai's eyelids twitched, "Now I know."

Xue Yuan didn't suspect him, and didn't have time to think about it.His head was full of Gu Yuanbai, and from the first moment he saw Gu Yuanbai today, he couldn't move his mind away.

"The mark is gone, can you fix it now?" His breathing gradually became heavy, and the hot air hit Gu Yuanbai's neck, causing a tingling itch, "There is no one here, be quiet."

Gu Yuanbai raised his neck, as if he was caught by his suppressed desire and panting, his breathing became hot.

The stars in the sky are connected into one piece, and it is hard to tell which one is brighter than the other.This kind of starry sky is rare in modern times. Gu Yuanbai once saw such a night sky on his way to the North Pole. The stars that fell on him.

You can pick the stars with your hands. Those who have seen such a starry sky will never forget this scene in their entire lives.

"..." Gu Yuanbai's eyes suddenly widened.

The earlobe was sucked, and someone begged hoarsely beside Gu Yuanbai's ear, "My lord, I want to kiss you."

It was very cold on the deck, and even wearing a jacket couldn't keep out the cold.Gu Yuanbai still remembers the feeling of that night, the waves below his body made his body seem to fly up and down, up and down in weightlessness, the stars were sometimes near and sometimes far away, the humidity was thick, like a dream in a fairy tale.

The hot lips kissed one after another on the neck and ears, mixed with the sweet scent of glutinous rice cakes, penetrated into the nose, Gu Yuanbai's throat moved, and he uttered a short and cruel word: "Get out!"

Xue Yuan found his lips in the darkness, "Gu Lian, Yuan Bai, Lord Bai."

He clearly held Gu Yuanbai's two wrists, clearly trapped him between the wall and his chest, but said pitifully: "Master Bai."

Bai Ye glanced at the shining stars in the sky, and sneered, "Just do it, it's over, why are you talking so much nonsense."
