Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

For the people of Gyeongju Prefecture, this year's Spring Festival is more comfortable and comfortable than previous years.

Every household is decorated with lanterns and streamers, beaming with joy.

Wang Fu is no exception.

Princess Qing couldn't help sighing: "I have Ah Quan accompanying my mother to celebrate the new year, my mother is so happy!"

The way she expresses her happiness is by drinking.

King Qing was very helpless, so he could only persuade her not to drink too much.

Lou Quan smiled, his eyes gradually turned red.

She thought that she would never marry again, and just stay at home with her mother and father.

Princess Qing got a little drunk from drinking, and suddenly turned her finger on Lou Yu: "Xue Nu, you will be fifteen in the Chinese New Year, and you are already an adult. When your mother and I were your age, we were already preparing wedding dresses. .”

Lou Yu was startled, it's too bad, it's the Chinese New Year marriage reminder season again!

He excused himself, pleaded guilty, and fled in despair.

He was not married at 25 in modern times, how could he talk about marriage at the age of 15 now?

No, absolutely not!

Lou Yu returned to the east courtyard, leaning on the soft couch and doing nothing.

No mobile phone, no computer, not even playing cards, this year is too boring.

Feng Erbi observed that he was bored, and said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, I heard that there will be a lot of excitement in the government barracks tonight, why don't we go and have a look?"

"Busy?" Lou Yu sat up abruptly, his eyes flooded, "What's the buzz?"

Feng Erbi squinted his eyes and smiled: "I can't tell."

"Go! Go and see!"

Among the soldiers in the government barracks, some were with their families, and some were alone.

Those who have families will naturally return home during the New Year, and those who do not have a home, the big guys get together and regard the military camp as their home.

His Royal Highness had distributed benefits years ago, and their New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with wine and meat, and everyone ate happily.

There is food and drink, and of course there must be programs to add to the fun.

Huo Yan took Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong to celebrate the new year in the camp.

Looking at the lively and festive scene in front of him, he couldn't help turning his gaze to the direction of the palace.

His Royal Highness is now eating with his relatives, so he should be very happy too.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?" Huo Qiong blinked at him with almond eyes.

Huo Yan quickly retracted his gaze: "It's nothing."

"Uncle, stop pretending." Huo Xuan covered his mouth and snickered, "You just saw the palace, and Arjun and I are not stupid."

Huo Yan squinted at him and was about to speak when he heard commotion outside the camp.

He stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

A soldier ran over: "Commander! Your Highness is coming!"

Huo Yan got up suddenly, and hurriedly strode towards the camp gate, forgetting to bring the saber on the case.

Soon there was no one there.

Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong stared at him as he walked away, and looked at each other tacitly.

"Ah Qiong, do you feel that my uncle has changed a lot recently?" Huo Xuan asked with his chin propped up.

Huo Qiong nodded fiercely: "I found out that there is indeed something wrong with my uncle."

But she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Only a faint feeling: "Anyway, I often see him in a daze alone."

"Yes!" Huo Xuan agreed very much, "Not only is he in a daze, he also likes to stare at the sword in a daze!"

Huo Qiong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Not only is he in a daze, but he can also giggle!"

In front of them, Huo Yan is generally unsmiling, to show the majesty of the elders, but in private, he smirks from time to time.

When Huo Qiong saw it for the first time, he almost thought that his uncle was bewitched.

Huo Xuan looked at the sword.

The sword body is wrapped in a scabbard, and it is no longer as stunning as when I first saw it.

The scabbard was made by my uncle himself, very low-key and not ostentatious at all.

The sword spike was also made by my uncle himself. At that time, he asked Arjun about weaving techniques.

It can be seen how much my uncle treasures this sword.

However, when he heard that His Highness was coming, he even forgot to take his sword, and walked very fast.

He could understand his uncle's respect for His Highness, but he still felt something was wrong?

As soon as Lou Yu entered the camp, he saw Huo Yan coming towards him.

In the bright lights, the young general looks like a dragon and a phoenix, with a handsome appearance and shining starry eyes. His whole body is like a perfectly polished sword, which makes people involuntarily prefer him.

Lou Yu secretly sighed, the more dazzling Huo Yan was, the more relieved he was, but at the same time, the more worried he was.

I was worried that one day, I would no longer be able to control this magical weapon.

But in Huo Yan's eyes.

The crown prince was wearing a big cloak, and the collar of the big cloak covered his chin with a circle of fur, which made his face look more refined and elegant.

Holding the hearth in his arms, he was standing a few steps away smiling at himself.

"Commander Huo, I heard that there is excitement in the camp tonight, so I came here specially to have a look."

Huo Yan looked calm: "Your Highness, please take a seat."

He handed over the main seat to Lou Yu, and sat under him himself, and then told the soldiers:

"Your Highness is coming to the camp tonight to have fun with everyone, everyone should show their housekeeping skills! Don't let His Highness see the joke!"

"Yes!"

All the officers and men really respected Lou Yu. If there was no Lou Yu, how could Qingzhou celebrate the New Year with excitement?

Moreover, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to the soldiers, the military benefits are good, they usually eat well and wear warm clothes, and the monthly money is also generous. If they are injured during training, they can also be reimbursed for the consultation fee.

Where can I find such a master?

As for the treatment after the casualties, because there have been no serious injuries or deaths in the battalion so far, everyone is not clear.

But they believed that His Highness would not treat them badly!

Except for these lonely people, the rest of the camp with families all praised His Highness.

Many of their relatives work under His Highness, they can make money without being beaten or scolded, and seeing that life at home is getting more and more prosperous, who wouldn't say something about His Highness's kindness and kindness!

Anyway, they recognized His Highness!

Everyone took out their housekeeping skills one after another, and staged one wonderful show after another in front of Lou Yu.

Some played big swords alone, some played against each other, some did somersaults, and some even sang a little song.

Lou Yu thought it was too funny, and the smile on his face never stopped.

When it came to the pitching session, everyone was eager to try.

Lou Yu was a little surprised, it was night, not daytime.

It's bad for aiming at the head at night.

Huo Yan leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Many of them are good seedlings from the bow and arrow camp."

"Oh?" Lou Yu couldn't help sitting up straight.

It seems that Huo Yan wants to show him the results after training.

The pitching begins.

Soldiers who are not accurate enough to start the game first should be used as a throwing brick to attract jade.

Then came the archers.

They all looked awe-inspiring, standing outside the line calmly, their hands holding the arrows were steady, without any trembling.

It is worthy of strong training, but it is unusual.

One bamboo arrow after another was accurately thrown into the pot, and there was applause from all around.

Lou Yu watched with relish, and couldn't help but smile and applaud.

Seeing his smiling face and high spirits, the soldiers throwing the pot became more energetic, just hoping to get a compliment and applause from His Royal Highness.

The soldiers throwing the pot stared at the mouth of the pot, Lou Yu stared at the soldier, and Huo Yan looked sideways at Lou Yu.

Lou Yu smiled, and he laughed too.

After a while, Lou Yu noticed his gaze and couldn't help cast a puzzled look.

Huo Yan raised his glass to pay respects, and drank it neatly with his head raised.

A pungency pierces through the throat and scalds the heart.

Lou Yu didn't intend to drink at first, because this body is still young after all, but he really enjoyed himself tonight, and Huo Yan took the initiative to toast, so he asked Feng Erbi to bring a clean wine cup and pour a glass.

"Your Highness, you have to drink less." Feng Erbi earnestly urged.

Lou Yu laughed loudly, got up and toasted, and said to the crowd: "You soldiers are brave and brave tonight, it opened my eyes! This glass of wine, I respect you soldiers!"

After all, drink it up.

"it is good!"

"Your Highness is generous!"

"Your Highness, my subordinates also respect you!"

Everyone shouted and cheered, the atmosphere boiled to the peak, and the camp was full of enthusiasm.

Some people even took advantage of the drunkenness and shouted: "Commander Huo! Would you like to come up and use your housekeeping skills!"

The crowd joined in.

"Yes, yes, Commander, you are the only one who has not come up here."

"Commander, Your Highness is here, no matter what you do, let His Highness see your abilities!"

"Commander! Come one!"

"Come one! Come one!"

Lou Yu was infected by the atmosphere, and couldn't help smiling at Huo Yan: "Commander Huo, why don't you let the big guy open his eyes?"

His Royal Highness asked, how could he not obey?

Huo Yan was drunk, facing Lou Yu's smiling eyes, he got up and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

A silver sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword light streaked across the sky.

Holding a sharp sword in his hand, he stepped up to the high platform step by step, like a lone wolf who is firm and fearless, but in his eyes, apart from perseverance, there is also a bit of arrogance hidden.

In the past, he kept a low profile.

Tonight, he is in a wild state of mind.

Under the bright moonlight, amidst the candlelight, the young man's robes fluttered and he swung his sword like the wind.

His eyes are lazy and blurred, his expression is indulgent and wild, his body is galloping, and his sword looks like a rainbow.

Soul-stirring, can compete with the sun and the moon.

Everyone was stunned.

Lou Yu is no exception.

He only knew that Huo Yan's archery skills are like a god, but he didn't expect his sword skills to be super god!

Just watching him dance the sword, one can feel a kind of soul-stirring fierceness and magnificence pointing directly to the sky.

In an instant, the arrogance is dry, and Yixing is flying.

He stared blankly at the figure on the high stage, and felt his heart start to speed up disobediently. With the faster and faster sword light on the stage, his heartbeat became more and more intense.

Until Huo Yan closed his momentum.

The audience was silent, except for the sound of rapid breathing.

Huo Yan stood with his sword behind his back, looking at Lou Yu from afar.

The deep night covered some of the scorching heat.

Lou Yu didn't see his eyes clearly, but stood up and applauded: "Great! Commander Huo's swordsmanship is superb, hearty!"

Then everyone applauded one after another, and the cheers became louder and louder.

Even Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong looked at my uncle with admiration.

If it doesn't sing, it's a blockbuster!

It was also the first time for them to see Huo Yan dancing sword. After seeing it, they immediately felt the pride and pride of being part of the Huo family.

Huo Yan returned to the front of the case and pushed the sword back into its sheath.

He held down the hilt of the sword tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

No one here knows swordsmanship.

Fortunately, no one understands.

There is "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" in the ancient song, and there are similar expressions in swordsmanship.

He was lucky that Lou Yu didn't understand swords.

Lou Yu was in a good mood, and couldn't help but drank a few more glasses of wine. Soon his face turned pink, and his eyes were blurred.

"Your Highness, we can't drink any more, let's go home." Feng Erbi hurriedly urged.

Lou Yu was a little drunk, and laughed out loud when he heard this, he had already lost his former dignity.

"Is there anything I can't drink? I'm happy today! I want to drink!"

Feng Erbi: "..."

This is really drunk.

His Highness is quite elegant on weekdays.

Huo Yan has a lot of alcohol, but he is slightly tipsy, and his reason is still there. Seeing Lou Yu like this, he said to everyone: "Have fun here tonight, everyone, go back to the camp to rest."

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed to Lou Yu and stepped back.

After a while, only Lou Yu and a few people were left here.

Lou Yu and Feng Erbi grabbed the wine glass, wondering, "Why are they all gone? Who told them to go? It's not so lively anymore."

"I let it."

Huo Yan bent down, snatched the wine glass from his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the residence to rest."

Lou Yu refused to let go, and asked with a blushing face: "You, why do you let them go? You are too much!"

"Okay, I shouldn't let them go. When you get up tomorrow, you can punish them however you want." Huo Yan coaxed him in a low voice.

"Really?" Lou Yu's eyes lit up.

Huo Yan laughed, is this really drunk or fake drunk?

Just want to punish him?

"Well, go back and rest first."

Lou Yu fixedly looked at him: "Don't count your words, wait until tomorrow, and wait and see!"

"it is good."

Huo Yan helped him up, and told Feng Erbi: "It's his first time drinking alcohol today, I'm afraid he will have a headache tomorrow morning, you should watch it more."

Feng Erbi supported Lou Yu, panting, "I know."

He wasn't very strong, Lou Yu's whole body was on top of him, it was really too much for him.

Over the past year, Lou Yu has grown a lot in stature. In addition to exercising regularly, he has a slender and lean figure. He looks thin on the outside, but he is actually not light.

He couldn't use his own strength, and he was supported by Feng Erbi, so Feng Erbi couldn't move his legs.

Feng Erbi couldn't help asking for help.

Huo Yan sighed secretly, and squatted down with his back to Lou Yu, "I'll carry him back."

Feng Erbi quickly thanked him and asked Lou Yu to lie on Huo Yan's back.

A body was suddenly attached to his back, Huo Yan froze, but soon relaxed again.

He supported Lou Yu's knees, stood up and bounced up.

Lou Yu was about to fall asleep, but he woke him up directly, and he only saw the back of his head in a daze, with a bun tied on the back of his head.

He reached out and tugged.

The hair band was pulled off quickly, and Huo Yan's hair was all loose, hanging down to the front of the shoulders and the back of the head.

Huo Yan: "..."

Feng Erbi picked up the hair tie beside him, covered his mouth and hilariously.

I didn't expect His Highness to be so naughty when he was drunk.

Lou Yu is not over yet.

When he's drunk, his hands itch and he always wants to grab something, since the headband is gone, let's pull his hair!

"hiss--"

Huo Yan's scalp hurt suddenly, and he sighed slightly in his heart, quite helpless, but he couldn't feel annoyed.

Feng Erbi felt pain when he looked at it.

In the torment of Lou Yu constantly pulling his hair, they finally returned to the East Courtyard of the Palace.

Huo Yan put Lou Yu on the bed, Lou Yu was already asleep, but he was still holding a lock of his hair in his hand, and twisted it around several times.

"What can we do?" Feng Erbi asked in a low voice.

Wrapped like this, it can't be pulled out at all.

Without any hesitation, Huo Yan tore off his hair with his hands, leaving it in Lou Yu's hand.

Feng Erbi's eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at Huo Yan, then at Lou Yu, and felt that something was not quite right, but this matter was indeed reasonable, and Huo Yan couldn't get away if he kept sending it.

"I'm going back, take care of Your Highness."

Huo Yan walked cleanly, as if nothing had happened.

Feng Erbi hid his doubts in his heart.

The next day the golden wheel shines brightly.

Lou Yu opened his eyes and saw some hairs on the side of the pillow and the quilt. He suddenly woke up, and he couldn't help but look frightened.

Fuck!How did he lose so much hair overnight!

He's still so young, he doesn't want to be bald!

"Second stroke!" he shouted.

After shouting like this, I felt that my throat was so dry and hoarse.

Feng Erbi hurried in, offered a cup of warm water thoughtfully, and asked with concern, "Your Highness, do you have a headache?"

"a little bit."

But now Lou Yu didn't care if he had a headache at all. He grabbed the hair beside the pillow, frowned and said, "Why do I lose so much hair? After breakfast, you can invite Mr. Chen to come and see for me."

"Pfft-"

Feng Erbi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

He said: "Your Highness, this is not your hair, it's Huo Yan's."

"Huo Yan?!"

Lou Yu was stunned, how could Huo Yan's hair be on his bed!

A few scenes from last night suddenly flashed in his mind, and Lou Yu couldn't help but fall backwards.

His image ah ah ah ah ah!

This is simply the scene of social death!

Feng Erbi failed to understand his heartache, and only asked: "Your Highness, what should I do with these hairs?"

Lou Yu: "..."

After all, he won't be arrogant, thought for a while, and said: "Pick up a purse and pack it."

"Are you going to send it to Huo Yan?"

Lou Yu waved his hand, "Let's put it anywhere."

Wouldn't sending it over remind Huo Yan of the embarrassing incident last night?

He won't do it!

But this hair is thrown away so casually, I feel a little sorry for Huo Yan.

In ancient times, hair was still very important, and it would not be trimmed unless necessary.

Huo Yan broke his hair because of him last night, so he couldn't just throw it away mercilessly, right?

Hearing this, Feng Erbi immediately took the purse, and was about to reach out to pick up the hair.

"Forget it, I'll come."

Lou Yu took the purse and sighed secretly, taking responsibility for the mistakes he made.

After tidying up his hair, Lou Yu also prepared himself psychologically.

Just treat him as broken, and nothing happened last night!

He doesn't plan to meet Huo Yan again these few days. After a while, Huo Yan forgets what happened last night.

It's a pity that Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong came to see him just after he finished his breakfast.

"Your Highness, today is the first day of the first lunar month. We agreed to give my uncle a birthday present."

Seeing that it was almost noon, Huo Xuan had no choice but to come to the east courtyard to remind Lou Yu.

Lou Yu: "..."

Yes, he almost forgot.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, after he learned about Huo Yan's birthday, he discussed with Huo Xuan what gift to give Huo Yan.

Apart from knives and swords, Lou Yu really couldn't think of any new ideas, but he had already given Huo Yanjian.

Huo Xuan didn't have any idea either, he couldn't give his uncle a mechanical tiger every year, could he?

The two went to Huo Qiong.

Huo Qiong was also dumbfounded, and she was also very entangled, it was too difficult to give the same gift every year!

Uncle, what kind of things haven't you seen?It seems that it is difficult to get something fresh.

The three of them thought for a long time, and then Lou Yu asked abruptly, "Do you two still remember the general flag of the Huo family?"

There are many kinds of Dasheng army flags, among which the general flag symbolizes the family and personal honor of the general.

Every time the Huo family army goes out to fight, they will raise the general flag with the word "Huo".

And these flags were burned after the Huo family was destroyed.

The glory of the Huo family was finally reduced to ashes.

When the two children heard this question, they were stunned at first, and then their eyes turned red.

Huo Xuan asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you want to send a general flag to my uncle?"

"I have this idea."

Lou Yu privately thought that in Huo Yan's heart, the most important thing was the reputation and honor of the Huo family, right?

Hope this flag makes him happy.

The two children were moved to tears.

Huo Xuan raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I remember! I remember very clearly!"

Huo Qiong was not to be outdone: "Your Highness, I also remember!"

"Okay, then the three of us will make a flag for your uncle, how about it?"

Lou Yu smiled and said, "I'll make the fabric, and Arjun is in charge of embroidering the characters."

"Then what about me!" Huo Xuan asked hastily.

"You just give Arjun a hand."

The three of them made a secret plan and waited for the first day of the first lunar month to give gifts.

As a result, the two children had waited since they got up in the morning, but they didn't wait for Lou Yu to send someone to notify them, so they had to find it by themselves.

but!

Lou Yu just thought not to have too much interaction with Huo Yan these few days, but the slap in the face came so quickly.

Before he recovered from the previous embarrassment, he said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go, you two can send it."

Huo Qiong hurriedly said: "What's wrong with your Highness? I'll call Master Chen."

"No, no, no," Lou Yu waved his hand, "You guys go."

The two had no choice but to go to the barracks together.

Huo Yan was making a New Year's training plan in the barracks, when he heard that Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong were coming, he let them in.

"Why are you here?" Huo Yan asked.

Huo Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle, happy birthday!"

Huo Qiong held the long box to the table and said seriously: "Uncle, this is a birthday present from His Highness, Brother and I to you."

Huo Yan completely forgot his birthday.

His heart warmed up, and he asked again: "His Highness is with you?"

"Ok!"

Huo Yan was rather curious, what kind of gift would His Highness and Ah Xuan and Ah Qiong give together?

He opened the long box.

His hands shrank suddenly.

Even if it hasn't been unfolded, he has already guessed it based on the length of the scroll and the color of the cloth.

——This is the general flag of the Huo family.

The general flag that had been cut down and burned was now presented by the blood of the Huo family.

He clasped the lid of the box tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Whose idea is this?"

He lowered his head, Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong couldn't see his expression clearly, but judging from his tense body and the back of his hand with bulging veins, it was clear that his mood must be unusual.

Huo Xuan bravely replied: "It's Your Highness."

Huo Yan's chest felt hot, and he suddenly laughed.

He carefully held out the banner, stared at it almost greedily, and slowly spread it out bit by bit.

This is the glory of the Huo family.

Even if you once fell into the quagmire, you will surely take off in the future!

And this opportunity was given to him by Lou Yu.

After the new year, new city construction and water conservancy projects continued to advance.

Lou Yu called Li Shu and said, "I'm planning to mobilize some troops to build a new city wall, you can arrange it."

"Your Highness, isn't it the artisan's job to build the city wall?" Li Shu was puzzled.

Lou Yu sighed softly: "The craftsmen are busy building houses, and they will also participate in spring plowing after the spring begins. I think the soldiers in the camp are also very boring in training all day long. Why don't they go and repair the city walls?"

Moreover, the city wall built by myself must have a sense of belonging, and I will definitely do my best when defending the city in the future.

Li Shu asked again: "How many troops does Your Highness need?"

The new city is very large, and the length and height of the city wall combined require a lot of labor.

Lou Yu made an estimate and said, "5000 people."

Of course, not all those who built the city wall were soldiers, and he would also arrange some craftsmen as technical guides.

Before the beginning of spring, the soil layer was compacted first, and the outer wall was built with bricks, stones and cement when the weather got warmer.

After receiving the task, Li Shu ran back to the camp to find Huo Yan.

"His Royal Highness said that 5000 people should be ordered to build a new city wall. Commander Huo, let's pick people together."

Huo Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay."

After the 5000 people were selected, Li Shu came to Lou Yu for a return.

Lou Yu asked again: "How is the cavalry training going?"

Li Shu said honestly: "Your Highness, Commander Huo in our battalion has the best riding skills, and he has more control over the cavalry battalion. You can ask him."

"Why," Lou Yu glanced at him lightly, "You are the deputy commander, but you don't know the situation?"

"No, it's just that Commander Huo has more experience and sharper vision. He can see things that his subordinates can't. They are afraid that they will make mistakes in front of you."

Lou Yu asked back: "You can't ask Huo Yan if you don't know?"

Li Shu: "..."

He had no choice but to tell what he knew, and then ran back to the camp to find Huo Yan.

Huo Yan: "..."

He didn't feel anything once or twice, but after more times, he figured out something strange.

Lou Yu is deliberately avoiding him?

In the past, Lou Yu discussed these matters with him directly, but now he has become Li Shu.

He didn't feel that Lou Yu was deliberately ignoring him, he just wanted to know the reason.

Feng Erbi was ordered by Lou Yu to go out to handle errands, and happened to meet Huo Yan.

"Master Feng." Huo Yan called to stop him.

Feng Erbi turned around, "Is there something wrong?"

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, I want to take Ah Xuan and Ah Qiong to visit the Lantern Market, but we haven't celebrated the Lantern Festival in Gyeongju in previous years, so I don't know which places are worth visiting."

It was rare for Huo Yan to say so many words in one breath, which made Feng Erbi look at him in surprise.

It seems that Huo Yan has a lot of heart for his nephew and niece, and he still remembers to take them to the Lantern Market.

He said: "Our Qingzhou is no better than the capital. I don't know how lively the Shangyuan Festival is in the capital. Anyway, the Shangyuan Festival in Qingzhou used to be like that. I don't know this year."

Only when life is rich can one have the energy to enjoy it. In the past, ordinary people in Gyeongju lived in poverty, so how could they care about celebrating the Lantern Festival?

Once the year is over, you have to work hard.

But this year, maybe it will be much more lively.

Huo Yan nodded: "I didn't have the chance to meet you last year. Your Highness and Mr. Feng are also involved in mundane affairs. Why don't we go together this year?"

Feng Erbi thought about it carefully, it's not impossible!

Seeing the bustling atmosphere in this street market, this year's lantern market must be very good!

These are all the achievements of His Highness!

He must bring His Highness out to see for himself!

After returning home, Feng Erbi told Lou Yu.

"Lamp City?" Lou Yu became a little interested.

Last year, the city of Gyeongju was quiet and depressed, and the common people were not in the mood to celebrate the Lantern Festival. This year should be different.

He spent a year trying to change the appearance of Gyeongju. Now that he has the opportunity to feel it intuitively, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

"Okay, let's all go out to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival!"

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival arrives.

After dinner, Lou Yu changed into low-key clothes, and went shopping with Feng Erbi, A Yan, Feng Chun, and Cai Xia.

The city of lights is like daytime, with fiery trees and silver flowers, and the street market is a bustling and lively scene.

Many vendors put up various items for sale.

Of course, the most crowded must be the Lantern Shop.

Guessing lantern riddles is a popular recreational activity for the common people.

Lou Yu didn't like crowds very much, and couldn't solve lantern riddles, so he bypassed the lantern shop.

Although the lights were on, it was night after all, and he kept a low profile, basically not attracting the attention of others.

As soon as they reached the corner of the street, they suddenly heard a low voice: "Your Highness!"

Fortunately, there were few people around and no one heard it.

Huo Xuan ran over with short legs, excitedly said: "Dian..."

"Call me Young Master outside." Lou Yu interrupted him.

Huo Xuan raised his head: "Master, are you here to visit the Lantern Market too?!"

"Well, did you have fun?" Lou Yu asked with a smile.

Huo Xuan nodded fiercely: "Happy!"

He stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Lou Yu's clothes, "Master, uncle and Arjun are over there, why don't you play with us!"

Lou Yu was in a good mood, so naturally he would not refuse.

He followed Huo Xuan to another lantern shop.

This one is different from the one just now.

The lantern shop in front needs to guess lantern riddles, and you can get the lantern if you guess correctly; this lantern shop needs to shoot willows to get the lantern.

Stores tie cloth strips on high poles, and whoever can shoot down the cloth strips will get free lanterns.

Archery is a high-end technical job, not everyone can do it, so there is not much traffic in front of this shop.

When Lou Yu arrived, he saw Huo Yan unfurling his bow and nodding his arrows, aiming at the cloth strips fluttering in the wind on the high pole.

This is too difficult!

All the spectators around held their breath and stared at the arrow in Huo Yan's hand.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Lou Yu felt that Huo Yan shot the arrow vigorously after he glanced at him from the corner of his eye!

The arrows are bamboo arrows, and the arrowheads are not sharp enough. It stands to reason that it is difficult to pierce the cloth strips.

This is a common trick for businessmen.

Spectators don't believe it, merchants don't believe it, but Lou Yu firmly believes it.

The bamboo arrow leaped in the air and pierced straight towards the cloth strip!

The next moment, a slight tearing sound fell in the ears, like a thunder on the ground, shocking everyone on the spot.

The bamboo arrow fell down with the strip of cloth.

Before everyone came back to their senses, Huo Yan had already picked out a rabbit lantern, said "acceptance" to the shopkeeper, passed through the crowd, and walked in front of Lou Yu.

Under the radiance of the lights, the young man's eyebrows are like distant mountains, and his eyes are as deep as the sea.

He came with a lantern and smiled lightly.

"Young master, after much deliberation, you are the only one who is a rabbit here. Please accept this rabbit lantern."

Lou Yu subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick it up, and when he grasped the handle, he inadvertently touched the fingertips of the other party, as if startled, he let go.

Seeing the lanterns fall to the ground.

Huo Yan reacted quickly and bent down to pick it up.

He stared at the young prince: "My lord, if you don't like this, I'll shoot another one."

Lou Yu quickly refused: "No, this is very good."

He took the lantern, looked left and right, and felt that the lantern was really unique.

"Thank you." He smiled at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan secretly sighed, His Highness's attitude is the same as before, so, the previous "in the cold" was just a coincidence?

Is he thinking too much?

"My lord, do you want to go to the river to watch us release the river lanterns?"

Huo Qiong asked with round almond eyes.

Lou Yu naturally wouldn't refuse: "Let's go, let's go together."

There are many young women by the river, they bend down and put down all kinds of river lanterns, let the river lanterns float along the river.

Huo Qiong took the prepared river lantern and carefully lifted it to the surface of the water.

Fengchun and Caixia happily joined in.

River lanterns float on the river, carrying people's endless expectations and hopes.

It's so beautiful that it's intoxicating.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of falling water, and there were bursts of screams and commotions from the river not far away.

Lou Yu came back to his senses, and immediately rushed over with Huo Yan and others.

"Someone fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!"

"Help me!"

"Who will suck water?"

Huo Yan had strong eyesight, and he saw that the man who fell into the water was not far from the river bank.

He looked around and saw several long bamboo poles placed in a secluded alley, he immediately took them and stretched the other end of the bamboo poles into the river.

"catch!"

The people in the river flapped and grabbed the bamboo poles.

Huo Yan's arms are strong, and he easily pulled him ashore.

Right now, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the river was icy cold, and the man shivered from the cold, his lips turned white, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

Lou Yu frowned and stared at him: "How did you do it? Did you accidentally fall into the water or was pushed?"

The first time the man saw Lou Yu, he was about to kneel down and bow down.

Both legs were half bent, and Huo Yan held a bamboo pole against his knees, but he couldn't bend down no matter what.

Some onlookers said kindly: "Someone pushed him down!"

"Yes, yes, I saw it too!"

Lou Yu's eyes froze slightly: "Peng Zhu, who pushed you down?"

Peng Zhu is a member of the finance team, No. 3 in the written test, and Lou Yu had a deep impression on him during the interview.

"There are a lot of people talking here, young master, why don't you find a quiet place?" Huo Yan reminded.

Lou Yu nodded: "Okay, Peng Zhu, take a shower and change into dry clothes first, and then go to the mansion to meet me. I will send someone to catch the person who pushed you."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, but the person who pushed me was also unintentional. He just got into an argument with the villain and accidentally pushed the villain down."

Peng Zhu replied with a trembling voice.

"No matter what, he pushed you into the water, so you don't have to cover it up for him." Lou Yu couldn't bear to see him trembling, and ordered directly, "Go back quickly and change your clothes, and then come to the mansion to see me."

Peng Zhu didn't dare to disobey the order: "Yes."

After Peng Zhu left, Lou Yu ordered Feng Sanmo to hunt down the pushers.That person pushed Peng Zhu into the water in full view, so it was not difficult to find him.

When Lou Yu returned to the East Courtyard of the Palace, the man had already been arrested.

Feng Sanmo personally interrogated, and after the questioning, his eyes were a little confused and a little bit difficult.

He came to the east courtyard and stood in front of Lou Yu and the others, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

Lou Yu asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Feng Sanmo was about to speak when Peng Zhu rushed over.

He has a delicate and handsome appearance, a thin figure, wearing a loose robe, and has a somewhat dusty temperament.

"The villain pays homage to Your Highness!"

Lou Yu: "Don't be too polite, get up."

After Peng Zhu got up, he showed shame and said: "The villain is reckless and accidentally disturbed His Highness's interest in viewing the lanterns. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Okay," Lou Yu frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

The people under him were bullied, no matter what, they had to find their way back.

"Your Highness, that person is an old acquaintance of the villain. It was only because of a verbal dispute with the villain today that he accidentally pushed the villain into the water. I didn't expect such trivial matters to disturb Your Highness."

Peng Zhu's defense of that person is really just a verbal dispute?

Lou Yu looked at Feng Sanmo.

Feng Sanmo understood, and said succinctly: "Returning to Your Highness, the man has already confessed to this slave that he and Peng's accountant are indeed old acquaintances, but, the two of them had spent the past month and month, sworn to each other."

Peng Zhu's complexion turned pale, as if someone had stripped him naked, completely exposed in full view.

Even Huo Yan couldn't help looking at him.

Peng Zhu suddenly knelt down on the ground, although his expression was sad, his eyes were firm.

"Your Highness, the villain knows that he is filthy and dare not continue to serve you. The villain please resign from the post of accountant!"

When Lou Yu saw him for the first time, he knew he was proud.

Although noble, but very principled.

When working on weekdays, the rest of the male accountants more or less showed a sense of evasion when they were working with Tang Wen and You Hui, but Peng Zhu was naturally calm.

This natural peace cannot be faked.

And right now, it is this arrogance that supports him to say these words.

Lou Yu froze on the spot.

He never expected that Peng Zhu would have that kind of relationship with that person!

Oops, isn't it good to break someone's personal relationship?

Just when he was remorseful, Huo Yan spoke.

"Mr. Peng, since you have an alliance with him, why did he abandon you after he accidentally pushed you into the water?"

Lou Yu couldn't help but nodded.

That's right!Even if you accidentally push it into the water, shouldn't you rush to save someone?Why run away?

Very suspicious!

Peng Zhu was probably a little bit broken.

He said blankly: "He and I met when we were young, and it has indeed been easier. It's just that we have different ideas and have been entangled for several years. He finally decided to separate from me."

Feng Erbi couldn't help but said: "Separation won't push you into the water."

Peng Zhu laughed at himself: "I am too demanding."

That made the man push him impatiently.

"What are you demanding?" Huo Yan asked in a deep voice.

Lou Yu was a little puzzled, Huo Yan seemed to be particularly interested in this matter.

"I want to grow old with him forever." Peng Zhu was lonely
