The spring snow had just melted, and both sides of the market were full of apricot flowers, flaunting a large area of ​​pink and white in the afterglow of the setting sun. Wei Siying just got out of the carriage, and a few petals fell from his shoulders, and a sweet and greasy fragrance came to his nostrils.

This is not the incense in his memory, Wei Siying frowned slightly.

Immediately, his slender fingers brushed off the fallen flowers on his shoulders. Gu Xifei quickly lowered his hands and stood outside the carriage with a bow: "My lord, should we go in and eat directly, or should we go shopping in the market first?"

Luxurious carriages pass by from time to time on the spacious streets. The East Market of Yandu City is really prosperous, the shops are always open at night, and the setting sun is already shrouded in colorful lights.

Wei Siying saw at a glance that the shop next door sold musical instruments, such as qin, xun and flute, and even bamboo weaving.Probably some guests were trying the piano, and the strings were plucked.

"Eat first..." Wei Siying looked away and walked towards the restaurant.

Both of them have been disguised, pretending to be the master and servant of the wealthy family.Although ordinary appearance can't conceal Zhilan Yushu's demeanor, but in a place like Tiandu No. [-] Restaurant, there are all distinguished guests coming and going, and they don't look at first glance.

Gu Xifei asked the shopkeeper to hand in the deed card, and was about to take Wei Siying to the reserved private room on the second floor, but was stopped.

Gu Xifei said patiently: "Could it be that we lost two silver spirit stones?"

The shopkeeper has seen many things in the world, and said calmly: "Your private room has been given over to the distinguished guests of the alchemy department. But you have nothing to lose, you just moved from the second floor to the third floor, and you can still see the night view of the East Market and the imperial palace right in front of you." The location is better than the second floor."

"So it's a distinguished guest from the Alchemy Department." Gu Xifei pursed his lips and smiled, "Then the third floor is also good."

"Okay..." The shopkeeper smiled knowingly.

Except for the one in the palace, there are not many people in Tianyan Shangguo who dare to touch the bad head of the alchemy department. Wen Qingdan sells well all over the mainland, the domestic economy is booming, and the people of the country are very rich. It is not an exaggeration to rely on Wen Qingdan to suck the resources of the three worlds , If you get into the alchemy department, you will naturally walk sideways.

Wei Siying over there also knew about it, and walked upstairs calmly without saying anything.

The eyes are full of extravagant palace lanterns, the winding corridors, singing and dancing are faintly heard, these are places that have been recalled countless times in dreams, Wei Siying finally stepped up again.

There is no joy of reunion after a long absence, only the feeling of changing things and passing the time.

Although the purpose of this trip was to spy on the military situation, he still ordered this restaurant out of selfishness, hoping that the taste of the roast duck would not change.

After passing the second floor, Wei Siying subconsciously looked towards the private room he had reserved. The door was open, but from his perspective he couldn't see the guests inside.

Feeling tense for some reason, Wei Siying raised the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner, and went around the corner stairs expressionlessly.

At this moment, melodious music suddenly sounded. Wei Siying stopped and listened carefully. It was Zhu Zhi's voice, indeed, it came from that private room.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Gu Xifei asked from behind.

"You go and wait first, I will come as soon as I go."

Ignoring Gu Xifei's surprised gaze, Wei Siying hurried downstairs.

The door of the private room was close at hand, and Wei Siying's breathing was a little heavy.

What does he want to see?

It's just that someone blows the bamboo weaving, and it's outside Yunqi Town, thousands of miles away from Mo Xuanfang's hometown.

The wind came in through the open window, slightly fluttering the corners of the white clothes, and a tall figure stood by the window, with black hair and white clothes, both the color of a dream.

Breathing stopped at this moment, Wei Siying's hands clenched unconsciously, his fingertips were pinched in the palm of his hand, the pain was numb.

He didn't dare to take a step, for fear that going forward would mean stepping into an empty abyss, and then he would wake up every morning, only to have an empty bed and the loneliness day after day.

is it you?

This time, please don't leave me in your dreams.

The unknown song stopped, and the man by the window turned around.

It was an extremely ordinary face, with no extravagance in the hosta, wearing the standard taoist robe common to cultivators of Ziyun sect, with only two eyes, with a slight chill, overlooking the world.

so similar……

Wei Siying's heart sank, as if sinking into a soft and dense dream.

Those eyes looked down on him in Ziyun Palace for 16 years.

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

Wei Siying almost blurted out, almost leaking the dragon's breath.

The man opposite frowned slightly.

"Are you from the Alchemy Department? Uh... my name is Yuanli."

"Yuanli..."

The clenched fingers slowly drooped down, Wei Siying's expression returned to calmness due to the unfamiliar voice, and he nodded towards the man almost stiffly.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan misunderstood. I reserved a private room on the third floor. I only disturbed you because I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and felt that the fairy sound was beautiful. Since Fellow Daoist Yuan has already made an appointment, let's say goodbye first."

The man was in a daze for a moment: "Little fellow Taoist, do you also know this bamboo weaving?"

"Know a little bit." Wei Siying thought about it, for fear of revealing his identity, "I once listened to someone playing at an old friend, and I always remember the bamboo weaving music because of its special sound."

"Then, don't bother."

Seeing that the other party was staring at him, Wei Siying left in a hurry before he could answer.

Walking into the private room on the third floor with vain footsteps, Wei Siying sat down, raised his head and drank a cup of hot tea, and thought about what happened just now. There should be no flaws, so his mood was stable.

Gu Xifei sat across from him and watched him silently.

The emperor in front of me is young, but he usually shows his emotions and anger indifferently, and rarely loses his composure. What happened today?

After thinking for a while, Gu Xifei stood up and poured Wei Siying a glass of wine.

"My lord, did you meet an old friend?"

Just now someone downstairs was playing with a bamboo weave, and the emperor hurried downstairs. The bamboo weave was Dijun's favorite musical instrument. In addition, he was a disciple of Ziyunzong, so there is a high probability that he met someone from the Zongli.

"Um……"

Wei Siying didn't want to hide it, so he took a sip of wine sullenly, "It must be the new disciple of Ziyunzong, but I didn't expect that Ziyunzong would finally take this step and get involved with the alchemy department."

Gu Xifei filled Wei Siying's bowl with vegetables, and said slowly: "Young Master, didn't you say that Ziyun Sect Master passed away three years ago? It's also unusual. Besides, I heard that Ziyun Sect has produced a great power a few days ago and entered the Golden Immortal Realm, which must be related to taking Wen Qingdan."

Wei Siying frowned. On the day Sun Daoyi died, he knew that Luo Baihua had entered the fairyland. Now that more than three years have passed, if a great power is born, it must be Luo Baihua.

But the man I met downstairs today, although it seems that he is only at the Golden Core stage, but he vaguely feels that his abilities are unfathomable, and he can't even detect his own spiritual sense.

Could it be that he was also disguised like himself?

impossible……

Wei Siying hurriedly drank another glass of wine, forcing himself to calm down.

Three years ago, he watched Mo Xuanfang's soul disappear with his own eyes, leaving no bones left, leaving no chance of resurrection, how could there be anyone in the world with comparable cultivation?

He was so confused that he almost forgot his business because of a stranger.

"Mr. Gu is right." Wei Siying suppressed the upset in his heart, "Now it seems that we have more enemies than expected, and we should fight a blitzkrieg to make a quick decision without giving them time to deal with it. Let's talk, What's the news about spying today?"

"This is to report to the young master..."

While pushing cups and changing cups, setting up the enchantment, the master and servant carefully discussed strategies and tactics based on the military information they had collected recently. To Gu Xifei's surprise, their views were surprisingly consistent.

Wei Siying's clear and magnetic voice regained its composure. The supposedly strong aura was like a thick iceberg under the sea, and boundless coercion was revealed in the tranquility of the blue waves.

This is what the emperor is familiar with.

Gu Xifei looked at the young emperor in front of him.

He saw the mighty golden shadow on the battlefield through the ordinary face after the emperor's disguise. He never thought that his young and thin arms could also plan strategies, or carry the fate of the entire empire and create a glorious and splendid future.

For the first time, his heart, which had been sleeping for 600 years, had a slight ups and downs.

"My son is wise."

Wei Siying slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and drank the wine glass in his hand.

After the important matter was settled, he realized that he was slightly drunk. He had never been used to drinking ordinary wine, so it was good to get drunk once.

There was a "beeping" sound outside the window. Wei Siying followed the sound and saw huge fireworks ignited in the deep purple night sky. One after another, bright sparks exploded in the air.

His eyes suddenly dimmed.

Eight big characters appeared on the fireworks in the night sky: "You can see Qing's name, and you can see eternity once you see it."

Wei Siying stood up and walked to the window.

Cheers resounded in the street, and the fireworks in the sky had changed into the shape of a peach heart, so bright that it was bright enough to penetrate people's hearts.

"These fireworks are not bad, if you are interested, I can accompany you to see them." Gu Xifei chuckled beside him, "This is the custom of Yandu City, setting off such fireworks is a sign of engagement, elegant and fashionable. "

"I heard that it started a few years ago. At that time, some people took advantage of the chaos to attack the palace, but there was no loss. Some people in the palace liked these literary things, so it slowly spread."

"I see." Wei Siying stared at the hearts constantly blooming in the air, "Let's go and have a look."

The fireworks were placed in the northeast corner of the market, filling the noisy market with people. The people responsible for the fireworks were a few servants, and the owner was either rich or noble, so naturally he would not participate. He was in a nearby restaurant with his relatives and friends. Appreciate.

Wei Siying saw that Yuanli again in the crowd, and the gorgeous fireworks were clearly extinguished in that person's eyes, dispelling the chill for a while.

Yuan Li's face was hidden in the backlight, and the tall figure in white clothes looked even more celestial and cold, with a long and phoenix appearance.

Wei Siying couldn't help walking towards him.

Gu Xifei followed, and Wei Siying waved: "Go back to the inn and wait for me."

"Yes..." Gu Xifei stood on the spot, gazing Wei Siying's gaze, and he saw the figure in white.

The figure moved and turned away from looking at the fireworks, Yuan Li turned and left the place.

He walked around the northeast corner of the market, walked through the narrow alleys, and stopped in front of a courtyard.

He felt the almost imperceptible breath of the people behind him pause.

"Little fellow daoist, why have you been following me?"

He turned around and said softly.
