In Honglian Mansion, Wen Shixing sat on the railing of the corridor, staring at the maids decorating the yard.All the lanterns were replaced with brand new big red lotus lanterns, and the flowers and plants that were not growing well were replanted.

Everything is being prepared for the birthday ceremony of Lord Honglian.

In the past few days, my mother has come to supervise me to take the medicine every day, and most of the pain in my body has been relieved, but it is still empty after all.After sitting for a while, he felt tired.

"Do you want to go back to bed again?" Cheng Qinghan held his shoulders that were about to get up, crossed his long legs, and sat next to Wen Shixing.

"Father held a big birthday ceremony this time, but did he invite people from other cities?"

Cheng Qinghan thought about it, early this morning he saw his wife handing out invitations in the back garden, it looked like a lot of letters, presumably they invited many people from outside the city.

Since the last time Liu Zonghe came to the mansion, he has not heard from him for several days.Wen Shixing drank medicine, admired flowers, and made tea every day. Without that man, he was much more leisurely.

"The city lord will hold a banquet at Lianxin Lake at night, and enjoy the scenery on the boat. Don't you like to put lights on? I'll bring you some then."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Qinghan patted Wen Shixing's shoulder. He remembered his wife's summons, so he couldn't stay longer, "I'm leaving first."

Before noon, the threshold of Honglian Mansion will be trampled to death by gift givers.Wen Shixing hid in his small yard to feed the fish, listening to the chatter of the maid.

"I heard that the son of the city lord of Nancheng is coming this time."

Wen Shixing raised his eyebrows slightly, took a spoonful of bait from a wooden can next to him and sprinkled it on the surface of the pool, "Nancheng?"

In my impression, Nancheng is located in a remote place, where it is said that ferocious beasts are infested, and its owner seems to be very low-key, never interacting with other cities.

As for the son, he was someone whose name he had never even heard of.How could you think of coming to your father's birthday ceremony?

"That's right, Madam was a little shocked. The invitation sent out yesterday received a reply early this morning, and we will have a banquet together tonight."

Wen Shixing didn't want to get entangled in these things because he was so confused.He stretched out his hand to tease the fat carps, his slender fingers slid across the water.

Honglian Mansion is extremely lively, and the city gate is no exception.People from other cities gathered together with invitations and congratulatory gifts.

Making an exception today, the gates of the city are wide open, and the traffic is full of big guys all gathered in Honglian City.Liu Zonghe changed into an ordinary attendant's clothes, slipped into the city while avoiding the soldiers' eyes.

As soon as you enter the city, your eyes are full of lights and festoons, and all kinds of festive lanterns are hung on the storefronts of small buildings with uneven heights.Before nightfall, the streets were crowded with people.

Liu Zonghe shuttled along the streets and alleys along the crowd, and there was a line of people in front of Honglian Mansion, probably sent by other cities to give gifts.

He hid behind a wall and watched the situation in front of Honglian Mansion.There were four servants standing beside the gate, and the wall surrounding the mansion was about three meters high, covered with bricks and tiles.

A thought flashed through his mind, but he knew he couldn't do it.If he forced his way in, Wen Shixing would only hate himself even more.

Liu Zonghe just hid behind this wall. He wanted to see Wen Shixing, so he came all over from Yunfeng, but found that he couldn't do anything.

I can only watch the excitement in that mansion, but he is an outsider.

As the sky gradually darkened, Liu Zonghe kept leaning against the wall, repeatedly wanting to go to see Wen Shixing, but stopped in his tracks, staring at the door eagerly.

He was afraid that his appearance would upset Wen Shixing.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of Honglian Mansion.Liu Zonghe poked his head out, only to see Wen Shixing walking out holding Cheng Qinghan's hand.

With the lamps carried by the maids beside him, he saw Wen Shixing lowered his eyes and smiled, and his lips curled up slightly. Although his face was still a little pale, it could be seen that he was in better spirits.

Cheng Qinghan next to him didn't know what he said in Wen Shixing's ear, which made Wen Shixing smile and glared at him jokingly.

This situation fell into Liu Zonghe's eyes, it was so dazzling.He tried his best to hold back the discomfort in his heart and followed the two quietly.

Several maids and attendants followed behind them, the streets were filled with joy, and the vendors who set up stalls shouted hello to Wen Shixing when they saw Wen Shixing.

All kinds of lights were reflected on Wen Shixing's side face. He smiled softly and waved his hands to greet everyone.

Not far behind Liu Zonghe stared blankly at this scene, Wen Shixing's smile was like a lake, he just looked at it like this, and then fell into it.

This kind of smile was something he couldn't see in Yunfeng.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky.The dark sky soon showed a huge firework, shining colorfully on everyone's face.

Wen Shixing raised his eyes in response, and his clear eyes were also filled with fireworks.

Everyone stopped to admire the sky full of fireworks, but Liu Zonghe's eyes stopped on Wen Shixing's face.

He seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating, and with Wen Shixing's every movement, even his breath was pulled away by it.

"Father also makes these things." Wen Shixing shook his head helplessly. In previous birthday ceremonies, his mother's proposal to put up a sky lantern for him was rejected.

It's just that for my father, "good things happen again and again" during this period.

"Let's go, don't miss the hour." Cheng Qinghan reminded.

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards Lianxin Lake.

Lianxin Lake, the largest lake in Honglian City.During the festive season, people always like to gather here.Especially now that autumn is here, it is very cool and the scenery is good, and many people stand by the bridge early.

The lord of the Red Lotus hosted four long boats, which were covered with lanterns. The main boat was particularly gorgeous, with a huge lotus in full bloom at the bow, and the golden light shone inside, which looked quite radiant.

"Come." Cheng Qinghan boarded the boat first, and then reached out to support Wen Shixing.

Liu Zonghe, who was hiding behind the tree, watched this scene silently. What are the two of them doing in this boat?Could it be that Cheng Qinghan is going to confront Wen Shixing tonight...

Naturally thinking of Liu Zonghe, who was courting, he couldn't help feeling sour, seeing the two of them boarding the boat, and just about to go there, he suddenly found a group of people walking not far away.

It looked quite imposing, the tall man standing in the middle seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but with a flash, the man had turned his back to him.

In the crowd, Liu Zonghe suddenly found a familiar figure.He froze for a moment, wiped his eyes and looked carefully, why is he here!No, no.

A bad thought immediately flooded into his heart, he moved and stopped in place again.Liu Zonghe saw the city lord and wife of Honglian appear, and boarded the boat with that group of people.

Birthday party!For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the two of them were not alone on the boat.He leaned against the tree, and after a while, he began to worry again. He hoped that he was wrong about the figure just now.

On the boat, Wen Shixing picked a seat by the window.He leaned on the window rail and stretched out his hand restlessly.Seeing this, Cheng Qinghan, who was pouring tea for him, clicked his tongue.

"Be honest!"

Wen Shixing, who was restrained, withdrew his hand aggrievedly, and sat obediently.The Lord of Red Lotus and his wife quickly entered the arena, together with a man behind them.

"Father..." Wen Shixing was about to congratulate Lord Honglian when he saw something new.

A black eagle flapped its wings twice and stood on the man's broad shoulders.

Wen Shixing was stunned for a moment, he had rarely seen such a creature, and he was fascinated for a while.Cheng Qinghan next to him was worried that he would be hurt by the beast, so he immediately pulled his arm back.

"Young City Lord likes this?"

The owner of the eagle spoke, and Wen Shixing turned his gaze to the man's face.I saw that he had a handsome face and a rather exotic demeanor.The bridge of the nose is straight, but the pupil color of those eyes is different from others, they are emerald green, like a primeval forest.

The other party smiled slightly, like a stretched and coquettish fox, but there were obviously other things hidden in his eyes.

Before Wen Shixing came back to his senses, the man suddenly stretched out his finger and made something in front of the eagle, and the black eagle flew up and landed firmly on Wen Shixing's shoulder.

Everyone present was shocked, Cheng Qinghan's hand was already on the knife.Wen Shixing's figure was stiff, and he could feel the weight and grip of his shoulders, but the eagle was honest, obediently, motionless, even as if he had become a spirit, tilting his head to look at Wen Shixing's side face.

"It's very interesting..." After getting used to the eagle, Wen Shixing said this weakly.The man smiled, patted himself on the shoulder, and called the eagle back to his side.

"This is the Young City Master of Nancheng, Wen Ziqian." City Master Honglian gave a brief introduction and then invited everyone to sit down.

Originally, I didn't expect the city lord or the young city lord to come to the banquet. According to the tacit rules, the city lord usually sends someone to give gifts, and writes a letter.Unexpectedly, this is not only the arrival of the young city lord, but also the arrival of the young city lord of Nancheng who is extremely low-key and has never participated in the affairs of the city.

"I heard that you are very good at drinking. I don't know if the wine here tastes like yours." The Lord Honglian ordered the maid beside him to arrange for the wine.

Wen Ziqian smiled lightly, gently turned the finger on the thumb with one hand, and glanced at Wen Shixing who was lying on the window without a trace.

"On your side, are there really wild beasts haunting you?" City Lord Honglian drank a few cups, lowered his posture a lot, and began to be curious about Nancheng.

"Indeed, if you go to Nancheng, you still have to inform us in advance to avoid accidents." Wen Ziqian drank several glasses of wine with the Lord Honglian, but he didn't see his face.

The smell of alcohol in the boat made Wen Shixing feel a little dizzy. After greeting his mother, he bent over and walked to the deck.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw several attendants guarding outside.Excluding his own family, the rest are Wen Ziqian's people.

However, Wen Shixing saw a person he least wanted to see.In an instant, his face changed drastically, and he was a little shocked, to meet him in this kind of place!

"Why are you here?"

The man looked up and sneered when he saw Wen Shixing, "It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, oh, I forgot, Honglian is your home, you were kicked out by Yunfeng..."

"Snapped!"

The sound of a slap startled the people in the cabin.Cheng Qinghan was the first to run out, but Wen Shixing was the one who raised his hand.

Obviously, Wen Shixing slapped someone else!

Suddenly, before Cheng Qinghan understood what was going on, he saw Wen Shixing being thrown down, and the two wrestled together.

A head poked out from behind Cheng Qinghan, those emerald green eyes looked at the scene in front of him with some puzzlement.

The red-faced Lord Honglian was helped out by his wife, and he saw his son wrestling with an attendant at his feet.

Cheng Qinghan could see that Wen Shixing was not at a disadvantage, he immediately stepped forward to push the attendant away, regardless of whose family it belonged to, and kicked him into the lake.

"It's against you!"
