Lanling Ji

Yecheng seems to seldom rain in winter, the dry gravel on the ground creaks, the pale golden sun shines softly, and the clean sky is slightly gray.

"Brother Ye, are we going out?" Shen Ning watched as Ye Lanling put on a gray linen gown, with loose hair tied up by his shoulders.

"Yeah, the weather is nice today. Since we will be trapped in the palace in the future, let's go out and meet now." Ye Lanling put on his high leather boots and pulled his long gown to cover it. Sick mentality, but at the moment has a different spirit.

"Wow! Brother Ye must have never seen a pre-holiday gathering. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in Qi. People from the surrounding areas of Yecheng will rush to the capital to collect festival items a few days before the festival. My mother used to bring When I came to Yecheng for a meeting, there were so many people, I almost got separated once." Shen Ning looked excited, and his eyes twinkled with joy.

Seeing Shen Ning's excited expression, Ye Lanling couldn't help smiling, this is 29-year-old Gao Changgong, he is clearly a child.I don't know what the real Gao Changgong looks like, will he dance happily for going out to the market?Probably not.

"Let's go." Ye Lanling pulled Shen Ning up and closed the door.

————————————————————————————————————————

The festivals and evenings in Yecheng are even more lively, and the streets several feet wide are full of people coming and going.There is an endless stream of guests from each store in the wine shop and goods store, and the spacious neighborhood is full of various roadside stalls on weekdays.Noisy yelling and cheerful talking and laughing filled the entire besieged city, brimming with peaceful anger.

"Brother Ye." Ye Lanling, who had little energy beside Shen Ninglala, handed over a small purple brocade bag, "Yu Wenxian gave it this morning."

Ye Lanling took the bag, the inside was a little heavy, opened it, and poured out a consistent copper coin, "This is..."

"Qian, Brother Ye, haven't you seen it a few days ago?" Shen Ning looked at Ye Lanling's puzzled expression, "Master Yu is really generous, now we can buy whatever we want."

Ye Lanling was a little surprised when he heard this, and stared at the familiar coin in his hand.The production is exquisite, the money and writing are beautiful, the structure is well-proportioned, the strokes are round, and the four-character jade chopsticks are read directly. It turns out that this is the famous "Changping Wuzhu" in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Brother Ye, come and see!" Shen Ning looked forward, found something interesting, suddenly ran to the front, and waved vigorously to Ye Lanling, who was still wandering.

On the other side of the street, a group of brightly dressed and strangely dressed people came head-on.They are of different heights, young and old, but all wear a dark and strange mask.These masks have different patterns and shapes. Some stick out their horns to the sky, and some open their mouths wide open, which seems to symbolize monsters, ghosts, and snakes. If you look at them for a long time, you will feel terrible.

Ye Lanling turned his attention away from the crowd of parades, only to find that Shen Ning in the distance disappeared.Ye Lanling turned around and checked the 360-degree range around him, but there was still no sign of Shen Ning.This is too bad, people get separated.Ye Lanling clenched the purple purse in his hand, planning to go back to Yu Mansion to ask someone to help find it.But as soon as he turned around, he found that the crowd was crowded, and Ye Lanling, who had a weak sense of direction, became more and more confused. He frowningly looked at the left and right sides, trying to find the landmark building that could identify the direction.Finally, he shook his head and sighed: Forget it, let's ask someone.

"Hello, may I ask..." Before Ye Lanling could ask "Where is Yufu?", the other party ignored him and waved his hand, excitedly rushing to the parade.

Ye Lanling looked at the lively crowd and smiled helplessly.He looked around and decided to ask the vendors on the street.

Ye Lanling lowered his head, and pinned the money bag on his waist, and beside it was hidden the orchid-killing needle not far away.Ye Lanling straightened her clothes and walked towards the vendor.

At this time, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A person who appeared suddenly shouted and rushed towards Ye Lanling, and when he passed by, he reached out and reached into Ye Lanling's waist.

"Crack!" Ye Lanling didn't turn around, but grabbed the opponent's hand neatly.

He was caught on the spot, but he didn't panic or resist, he just looked at Ye Lanling's side face with a smile.

"Why do you want to steal, little brother?" Ye Lanling turned around, looked at the captured person, and frowned.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, the immature doll's face is black and shiny, and the corners of the curved mouth are smiling brightly.He shook the ponytail on his head and smiled slyly, "You are very powerful."

Seeing the other party's smile, Ye Lanling couldn't help letting go, the purse still hanging securely on his waist, "Let's go."

"You won't take me to jail?"

"No." Ye Lanling turned around, wanting to continue walking towards the vendor, but heard what this strange boy said.

"Actually, you are the same as me."

Ye Lanling was stunned for a while when he heard the words, then he turned around and looked at the boy who was a head shorter than him in front of him.

"Only people in this profession can catch me." The boy grinned, showing his white and neat teeth, and laughed, "Maybe you are better than me."

Ye Lanling frowned, pursed his lips and remained silent.

"What's your name?" The boy asked directly with a smile.

Ye Lanling remained silent, staring at the person in front of him for a while, and finally said with a sullen face, "How do I get to Yufu?"

"Ah?" The young man was stunned by the question, and then he smiled even brighter, "It seems that you don't want to tell me, but it's okay, I will find out tonight! Goodbye." After finishing speaking, the young man turned around and disappeared in an instant among the crowd.

Ye Lanling blinked and gritted his teeth watching the person who suddenly appeared and then disappeared.This world is too crazy, all kinds of incredible things will happen, all kinds of mysterious people will appear, and everyone will go at the same speed as the wind.I really want to know why people in the future have lost these magical powers.Ye Lanling shook his head helplessly, he should quickly inquire about the direction of Yufu.

"Hello, how can I get to Yufu?" Ye Lanling finally squeezed in front of the vendor.

The peddler bowed his head and counted the copper coins, and waved his hand impatiently.

Ye Lanling looked at the busy peddler and frowned. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the pouch on his waist, poured out dozens of copper coins, and handed it to the peddler.

The peddler raised his head in shock when he saw the huge wealth appearing out of thin air, and when he saw Ye Lanling's gentle face, he actually smirked a little embarrassedly.

"Can I bother you to take me to Yufu? This is my reward."

"No, no, no...no problem." The peddler looked at Ye Lanling's face, looking at the windfall in front of him, he swallowed, grabbed the coins, stood up, and was about to go to Yufu.

"Wait." Ye Lanling pointed at the vendor's stall, "Aren't you going to put these away?"

The peddler glanced at the things on the ground, and shook his hands, "No need, you can buy a few stones with these, my lord. Besides, if you clean up now, it won't delay your itinerary."

"So..." Ye Lanling was taken aback by the hawker's glib tongue, "Then let's go."

"Okay!" the peddler yelled, just about to stretch out his hand to grab Ye Lanling's arm, but someone grabbed his wrist suddenly.

"Ouch." The peddler frowned in pain, "Master, little... I don't owe you any money."

Ye Lanling was startled by the sudden appearance of Yong, and then he remembered Shen Ning who was lost, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yong, "Yong, you came just in time, Shen Ning is gone, can you help me find it?"

Yong withdrew his fierce gaze from the peddler, and looked sideways at Ye Lanling who looked anxious.He let go slowly.

Seeing Yong let go, the peddler quickly clutched his swollen wrist, stumbled and ran away.

"Why are you with the untouchables." Yong narrowed his eyes, "Why are you so worried about the useless Gao Changgong?"

Ye Lanling was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't know why Yong was so angry suddenly, but after understanding what he said, Ye Lanling clenched his fists, pursed his mouth, and stared at Yong who was a head taller than him, "You You are not qualified to despise ordinary people, and you are not qualified to make any comments on Gao Changgong."

Yong kept a straight face, and after listening to Ye Lanling's words, his eyes sank.This proud person, this ignorant person, actually looked at me so angrily, for the sake of an untouchable commoner, for that damned Gao Changgong!Yong suddenly came to Ye Lanling in an instant, and his tall figure enveloped the whole person in front of him.

Ye Lanling was still frightened by this speed, he retreated instinctively, but Yong stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist.

"You...what are you doing?!" Ye Lanling felt the intimacy between the two at the moment, and wanted to struggle to get away but was imprisoned even harder by Yong.

There are more and more people around, and people are talking and laughing at themselves.Occasionally, people who don't know why look at this side, they are scared away by Yong Yin's bloodthirsty expression.

"Let go! Yong, what do you want to do!" Ye Lanling was extremely angry, he reached his waist, and suddenly pulled out the orchid-killing needle, staring at Yong who was close at hand with his fiery eyes, "Go away! Otherwise... "

When Yong saw Shi Lan between Ye Lanling's fingers, the corners of his mouth curled up, he grabbed Ye Lanling's wrist suddenly, and carried the Kill Lan needle behind his back.Yong lowered his body, slowly approached Ye Lanling's ear, and said playfully, "This can't kill me."

"You!" Ye Lanling was completely embraced by Yong Huan, and his body temperature spread to his whole body.

Holding Ye Lanling who was struggling desperately, Yong looked at the surprised and angry Shen Ning who appeared not far in front, and smiled evilly.

Shen Ning's hand holding the paper bag trembled slightly, and stared angrily at the mocking Yong.Yong!I must kill you with my own hands!

Seeing Shen Ning's murderous expression, Yong laughed even more happily. He slowly let go of Ye Lanling's arm, and said with a smile, "Your Shen Ning seems to be back."

Ye Lanling pushed away Yong who let go, and turned around.

When Shen Ning met Ye Lanling's gaze, his ferocious face immediately softened. He walked quickly to Ye Lanling's side, tugged at his sleeve, raised the paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, Hua Cake."

Seeing Shen Ning returning to his side unscathed, Ye Lanling finally felt relieved, he patted Shen Ning's head lightly, "Next time, don't walk so fast, I won't be able to keep up."

Shen Ning stared at Ye Lanling's smiling face, his heart skipped a beat, he nodded, and said softly, "Never."

Ye Lanling smiled, "Then let's go back." Turning sideways, he found that Yong had disappeared, and an unnoticed sadness flashed across the corner of his eyes.

"Brother Ye, let's go shopping again, it's still early." Shen Ning took out a piece of golden flower cake and handed it over.

Ye Lanling took the fragrant cake, looked at the bustling street, looked up, the sun was dazzling, "Okay, let's go."
