Mao Tuan always wants to attack me

Facts have proved that the Lantern Festival held in Mucheng is well worth a visit.

Ever since he came to the Beast World Continent, Xiao Yuntian spent most of his time in the Imperial Palace or the Mo Mansion, and this journey of several days was basically spent with the emperor in a carriage or posthouse.To be honest, he is very interested in the customs and customs of the Bai Kingdom. After seeing the palaces, courts and deep mansions, he came to see the ordinary life of the people. Whether it is a countryside or a small town, it must have a special flavor.

After the convoy was settled in the posthouse, in order to avoid being recognized by others when traveling, Bai Shuyu, his followers and shadow guards changed their attires one after another.Mao Tuan also put on the newly cut common clothes according to the occasion.

I don't know how effective the emperor's "transformation" is?

With the help of Nightingale, Mao Tuan, who had put on new clothes, looked at the interior of the bedroom expectantly.

After a while, the inner door opened.Bai Shuyu changed her clothes and walked slowly from behind the door.He changed into simple clothes and a light blue robe, and replaced his conspicuous snow-white long hair with jet black with a blinding technique, and carried a plain cloth bag on his back.

Sensing a pair of purple round eyes staring at her, Bai Shuyu smiled, turned her body left and right in front of him, and asked casually, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Mao Tuan was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted joyfully: "Hurrah!"

"What does 'hululu' mean?" Bai Shuyu frowned pretending to think, "Could it be three words, 'not good-looking'?"

No no wow!Mao Tuan waved his hands in fright.Even if you remove the fanboy filter and the extravagant clothing bonuses, Bai Shuyu still wears plain clothes with an extraordinary temperament.At this time, he transformed from a high-ranking emperor into a delicate and elegant scholar, with long dark hair tied into a high ponytail and tied behind his head.Even if he no longer wears expensive brocades, his temperament may not be easily concealed in the crowd.

The emperor is so beautiful!Mao Tuan gave Bai Shuyu a thumbs up.

Bai Shuyu stopped teasing him on purpose, and called Nightingale over.He walked in front, and Nightingale picked up the hair ball and followed behind, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the post house together.

=====

In Mucheng at night, the streets are full of traffic.People walk through the market beside Mucheng Lake, there are men and women, old and young, some come out to play with friends in twos and threes, and some of the whole family go out to have fun together.The street is bustling and bustling, so lively.

In the center of the market, two men who looked like scholars were walking one after the other.A man in a cyan robe walked in front, holding a colorful paper pinwheel in his hand; behind him, a man in a black long gown followed closely, holding a snow-white ball of fur wrapped in a gray cotton cloth in his arms Son.

As a king, Bai Shuyu spent most of his time in the palace, and he didn't have much experience of walking in the market.At this time, he saw all kinds of street vendors on the side of the road trying their best to sell their products, and he was a little nervous, but more curious.

From time to time, he approached the peddlers, looking at their carts or the various trinkets in their shops.Behind him, Nightingale nervously watched the surrounding situation, not daring to relax for a moment.After all, there are so many people here, they are afraid that someone will fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to hurt the emperor.

Mao Tuan lay in Nightingale's arms, and he walked around in his arms.In the endless crowd, he couldn't stop his inner curiosity. He leaned on Nightingale's shoulder and tried to straighten his body to look around.

There are various shops on both sides of the market, colorful guises and small flags fluttering in the wind, large and small lanterns illuminate the road brightly.On the side of the road, there are small vendors pushing small carts selling supper. The sound of hawking and people's talking and laughing are intertwined, and the fragrance of various foods spreads in the air.

Hairball sniffed vigorously, collected all the scents, and packed them into his empty stomach.He hasn't eaten dinner yet at night, so he wonders if the emperor will buy supper here.

And it just so happened that Nightingale also went with him.

"It's getting late, does the emperor want to buy some supper to satisfy his hunger?" He asked in a low voice.

Bai Shuyu paused, "Well..." He looked at the various stalls on the street, with some hesitation on his brows, "However, what should I eat..."

Bai Shuyu had rarely seen these folk snacks in the palace, so it was difficult to make up his mind.Wandering among the vendors for a while, and was struggling, when Mao Tuan suddenly heard a "snoring".

Xiao Yuntian has never eaten the snacks here, but relying on his sensitive nose beyond ordinary people and his intuition of foodies, he directly made a decision for the emperor who had a difficult choice.

Looking in the direction pointed by Mao Tuan, a middle-aged woman is pushing a small cart on the side of the road to sell, and there are many scones in the cart.Xiao Yuntian's choice was purely because of "nostalgia" - the scones on the aunt's cart were very similar to the smell of the biscuit stand on the street in front of the school in his previous life, which deeply attracted him.

Bai Shuyu saw Mao Tuan eagerly pointing at the pancake stand, and said to Nightingale, "Go and buy two."

buy two?But there are three of us!

Nightingale hugged the hair ball and stood still in front of the car.When the aunt saw a customer coming, she displayed the samples on the face and introduced with a smile: "Master, here are grape scones, apricot blossom scones, green tea scones... What flavor do you like?"

"..." Nightingale was also a little hesitant. It was his first time buying scones, and he was not sure which flavor the emperor would like.

Mao Tuan poked his head out of Nightingale's arms, looked left and right, and after looking for a long time, he still liked the green tea scones the most: the scones were crispy and soft, and the light yellow skin was mixed with light blue. It is green, with fragments of tea leaves dotted on it, and it smells very fragrant.

Mao Tuan poked the back of Nightingale's hand, then pointed at the tea scones, and shouted, "Snooze!"

"This?" Nightingale looked in the direction the hairball pointed, and he rubbed the hairball lightly. "Does Xiantuan think that the emperor would like to eat this?"

Maotuan snorted a few times without hesitation.But in fact, Xiao Yuntian only judges based on the appearance and smell, and picks the one that suits his eyes the most. As for how it actually tastes, it all depends on luck.

Seeing Mao Tuan's affirmative expression, Nightingale said to the aunt, "Two tea scones."

"Hey, okay..."

Nightingale took the wrapped scones and said to the Maotuan in her arms: "The fairy group chose these for the emperor. If they don't suit the emperor's taste, the fairy group will eat up both cakes."

Seeing Nightingale teasing him, Mao Tuan smacked his lips twice and rubbed his round belly indifferently.Competing for food intake?Ha, I have never lost to anyone since I became a hairball!

But after returning to the original place, Xiao Yuntian was dumbfounded.

"Whoosh!"

What's going on, the emperor has disappeared!Shouldn't he be waiting for them to come back?

Seeing Mao Tuan anxiously looking around, Nightingale was a little amused: "Don't worry, Xian Tuan, the emperor is nearby. Look over there!"

Following what Nightingale pointed at, sure enough, Bai Shuyu in a green shirt was standing at the door of a small shop not far ahead, looking down at something intently.

When Nightingale approached, Xiao Yun discovered that he was in a shop selling hats and hair accessories.He remembered that the emperor usually tied his long hair high and rarely had the opportunity to wear a hat, but he was very interested in hair accessories.The emperor was always very particular about his attire, especially his long snow-white hair, which was the symbol of the royal family, and the hair accessories he chose were all expensive and gorgeous things inlaid with gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Look at the hair accessories placed in the shop again, most of them are wooden hairpins, colored cloth hairbands, and a small amount of silver or crystal hairpins.Bai Shuyu seemed not interested in the hairpins inlaid with cheap gemstones, but kept his eyes on the handmade colored cloth headbands.

"Young master, do you want to come and see the headbands?" The proprietress of the store walked out enthusiastically and introduced him one by one, "There are hairbands of various colors and styles in the store, which are handmade by our ancestral cloth art. You can choose clocks and Feel free to give it a try.”

Bai Shuyu picked up a few hair ties, but he seemed to be unable to make up his mind, and the authorities were confused, just like he never knew that he was a real beauty in the eyes of others.So, he turned his attention to Nightingale, who was holding a ball of hair behind her.

"Nightingale, which hairband do you think is suitable for me?"

Nightingale's eyes turned back and forth on the hair ties on Bai Shuyu's left and right hands.On weekdays, the head of the guard who called the wind and rain was stumped by the trivial matter of choosing a hairband today.He pursed his lips tightly, as if after thinking hard for a long time, he finally choked out three words:

"They all... they all look good."

Bai Shuyu frowned, and Nightingale suddenly felt nervous.

With such an answer, it is hard not to feel that he is perfunctory or sycophant.A burst of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the chief guard, and he hurriedly added: "The emperor's face is unparalleled, and he looks good with any hairband."

Xiao Yuntian knew in his heart that Nightingale really did not perfuse the emperor.Chief Wei said "they all look good" because of his limited aesthetic ability, he really couldn't choose which one was more suitable for Bai Shuyu's long hair.

Bai Shuyu's eyes moved down and landed on the hairball in Nightingale's arms - that guy was curled up into a ball, giggling and giggling, looking happy to hear it.

"Mao Tuan, which one is better?"

The hairball stretched out its two front paws, and picked up two bright red and cyan hair bands respectively.

"Oh? Does it mean that both are good?" Bai Shuyu wondered, "But is the red color too bright?"

Xiao Yuntian was about to explain, when he suddenly felt the bodies of Bai Shuyu and Yeying tense.They both turned their gazes behind them.

"Snoring?"

What happened, who did they see?

Bai Shuyu remained silent, and the relaxed and joyful expression on his face was also swept away, as if he lost interest in an instant.He returned the hair tie in his hand, and after thanking the landlady, the two turned around and stared into the depths of the night.

"Your Majesty, he...has left."

"I will come again. Unexpectedly, after putting on makeup, I was easily discovered."

"Hey... After all, this is Mucheng, and it's 'his' territory."

Xiao Yuntian looked at them puzzled.Who is this "he"?Is it the stalker along the way, those "familiar eyes"? ——No, not right.The stalker was obviously an enemy, and it was impossible to say that Mucheng was his territory.

Therefore, it was someone who was already in Mu City who shocked the Emperor and Nightingale at the same time.

What is the background of this person?The situation seems to be getting more and more complicated.

Nightingale hesitated for a moment, and asked Bai Shuyu, "Since this is the case, will you continue to visit, Your Majesty?"

Bai Shuyu lowered his head and exhaled softly on the paper pinwheel in his hand.He stared intently for a while, quietly watching the windmill made of colored paper spin rapidly.

"Of course." He said softly, "Don't forget the purpose of my going out today. As long as 'he' doesn't come to disturb, don't bother."

Nightingale responded in a low voice.Xiao Yuntian looked at Bai Shuyu's thoughtful appearance, he seemed to have something on his mind.I was even more confused: Isn't the purpose of going out tonight to see the Lantern Festival?Could it be that going out to have fun in the street is just a cover, and the emperor has another purpose?

Just as he was thinking, Bai Shuyu turned around and stretched out his hand to Nightingale.

"Mao Tuan give me a hug."

"Yes."

The hair ball fell into the emperor's arms again in a daze.Compared to the stiff nightingale, the emperor's soft embrace is the most comfortable!The chubby body couldn't help twisting a few times triumphantly, rubbing against the emperor was itchy.

"Look at this proud... If the hairball had a tail, I'm afraid it would be up to the sky at this moment." Bai Shuyu said half helplessly and half funny, rubbing the hairball a few times, "Okay, Just keep going."

"Snore!" Wait, the emperor, don't you want to buy a hair tie?Mao Tuan pointed to the small hair accessories shop behind and called out.If you find it difficult to make a choice, then buy all the ones you like, and then change the system every day, wouldn’t it be good?But Bai Shuyu just squeezed the dumpling, and said sullenly: "I put it back just now, so it's inconvenient to ask the owner to look at it."

It turned out that the emperor didn't have a difficult choice, but was just too embarrassed to go back to the small shop!Hey, this royal family with noble background is not face-saving. If it were Xiao Yuntian himself, of course he would turn his head without changing his face, and continue to talk and laugh with the proprietress.

So, Mao Tuan poked the emperor's white wrist, and then patted himself on the chest.Your Majesty, since you are too embarrassed to go again, I will leave the buying of hair bands to Ben Maotuan!

Seeing that Mao Tuan insisted on going back to buy it herself, Nightingale took out two copper coins from her purse and put them in the pads of Mao Tuan's front paws.

"Xiantuan has to be steady." Seeing that Maotuan's front paws were too small, Nightingale couldn't help but reminded her.But Mao Tuan was already impatient, and nimbly jumped from the emperor's arms to the ground, and ran towards the hair accessories shop just now.

Looking at the group of white backs that hurried away, Bai Shuyu couldn't help but smile slightly.He turned to Nightingale and said, "Accompany me to the front. I found out that there is a wooden handicraft shop in front..."

Upon hearing this, Nightingale also said: "My subordinates have also heard that Mucheng's wood art is very famous." The two entered the shop and found that there were a lot of people inside, men, women and children, walking back and forth, it was very lively.

"Ah, this is..."

Bai Shuyu looked one by one, and there was a wide variety of wooden handicrafts in the store, including daily necessities such as wooden combs, wooden bowls, and tubs, as well as toys such as wooden dolls and small wooden houses.

Bai Shuyu saw such an interesting toy for the first time, and he didn't care about the face of the royal family. He mixed among a group of laughing children, picked and practiced at the stall, and soon, his arms were full of toys. All kinds of gadgets.

"Hey, this..."

In the corner of the goods, Bai Shuyu picked up a delicate and small flute.He looked back and forth, then shook his head and said, "This flute is too small, only children can play it, and after buying it, it can only be used as a decoration." Just as he was thinking of putting it back, he suddenly heard Nightingale say: "The flute is small, maybe Xiantuan can play it."

Bai Shuyu froze for a moment, then retracted her outstretched arm.

Going forward again, I saw a lot of people gathered in the innermost part of the store, and there were bursts of exclamations of admiration from the crowd, presumably they were looking at something strange.Bai Shuyu couldn't bear it and followed.

"Yeah, this is..."

Seeing the handicraft in front of them, Bai Shuyu and Nightingale's eyes lit up.I saw a set of wooden models placed on a large table, which is a complete set of wood-carved landscape gardens, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and other landscaping, and small buildings made of various colors of wood. There are ornaments, miniature furniture, and dozens of dolls with different appearances and cloth clothes inside and outside the garden.

What's even more amazing is that the dolls inside are moving around with the manipulation of the mechanism connected to the bottom of the model, doing various actions such as walking, playing, jumping, etc., which look lifelike.

Bai Shuyu couldn't help being surprised and said: "This looks like a world made of wood, it's really interesting!"

Nightingale also pursed her lips and smiled: "These little people seem to be living in a real home."

Among the crowd who came to watch, some people were moved by this set of magical wood carvings, so they boldly asked the boss for a price.But the boss shook his head again and again and said, "This is the treasure of our store, sorry that it is not for sale!"

People were lost for a while.But the boss immediately said: "However, apart from this set, our store has similar wooden cottages and small yards for sale. The functions are the same, but the shape is smaller. Guest officials, please look here!"

On the box, the curtain was raised, revealing the various toy houses below.

"Ah... this looks so delicate!"

Bai Shuyu immediately fell in love with the largest set of wooden crafts in the box.It was a set of tiny palaces.Nightingale was startled suddenly, the appearance of this palace was somewhat similar to the Snow Palace where the emperor once lived.I don't know if this familiar appearance brought back Bai Shuyu's memories. Seeing Bai Shuyu's dazed look, Nightingale felt a little nervous and distressed.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a tightness behind his back.The shadow guard's vigilant instinct made him tense up unconsciously, and he felt a scrutinizing gaze falling on his back.Then, the man came over.

"My lord, are you interested in this palace?"

It was none other than the owner of the wood art shop who spoke.He had been around here for quite some time—he had noticed these two handsome young men ever since they entered the store, and had been silently watching them.

This wood art shop can be regarded as the best one in Mucheng, so the boss often encounters customers from extraordinary backgrounds to visit the shop. With his eyesight after dealing with noble princes for many years, he quickly sees the two This is no ordinary person.Although the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, they had a calm and introverted demeanor, exuding a secret but powerful aura around them, obviously they were not ordinary characters.

Bai Shuyu didn't think much about it, he pointed to the model on display, and asked, "This set of palace wooden sculptures..."

The boss hurriedly responded, "Master, you have a good eye, this is our shop's signature product, the workmanship is exquisite, and you see..."

The boss tapped twice on the top of the palace, and saw that the door of the palace opened slowly, and a puppet in a small cloth came out of the room, running and playing around in the courtyard of the palace.

"Oh..." Bai Shuyu's eyes widened in surprise.

"How do you feel, son?"

Bai Shuyu was obviously moved, "How to sell it?"

"Eighty silver dollars."

"What!" Nightingale at the side froze for a moment, very surprised.Although this wooden toy is perfectly made, it is not worth the price.In Baiguo, eighty silver dollars can buy half a small courtyard in the town!

Faced with Nightingale's puzzled expression, the boss didn't change his face.In fact, the profiteer saw that the two sons must be people of extraordinary status, so he secretly quoted the price twice as high without authorization.In addition, after he quoted the price, Bai Shuyu did not immediately show a look of embarrassment or rejection, which made him more convinced of his judgment.

The two beauties in front of them must be fat sheep with big wallets!Is there any reason not to kill them ruthlessly?

But Bai Shuyu and Nightingale don't often go to the market to shop, and they don't know much about the market.Gradually, more and more people gathered around them, and many men and women in the shop surrounded them, watching curiously.

"Hey, the boss said that the palace wooden carving is worth eighty silver dollars, which is too expensive!"

"However, in my opinion, these two young masters are not idle people, maybe they can really afford the money."

"Yeah, don't look at their ordinary clothes, the aura is obviously not ordinary people."

"And...you're so handsome!"

Bai Shuyu and Nightingale not only changed their costumes and hair color, but also used tricks to cover up their appearance, slightly modifying their appearance to be a little plainer than the original.But even so, they are still very eye-catching.The onlookers in the store were attracted by the looks of the two men, and many curious or nympho eyes fell on their faces.

Nightingale didn't care about anything, but it was the first time that Bai Shuyu was stared at by many people.Usually, whether in the palace or in the hall, very few people would dare to stare at him directly.This made him extremely uncomfortable. Facing the scrutinizing gazes around him, the beauty's face couldn't help but flush.

This time, the crowd became even more agitated, and the boss in front of him was stunned for a while.

Bai Shuyu was not used to the atmosphere of being surrounded and watched like this, so he took a few steps back nervously.Just about to call Nightingale to leave, suddenly——

"Young master, please stop, don't rush away..."

As soon as the words fell, a tall man in a golden satin gown appeared in the middle of the crowd.He had a loud voice, and the strong momentum in his speech made the people around him step back and dodge unconsciously, making way for him.

The man didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, he strode up to the boss, nodded familiarly and said hello.Then, he turned around slowly, facing Bai Shuyu behind him.

Sensing the aura on his body, Nightingale subconsciously shivered, and quietly moved in front of Bai Shuyu.But the man just smiled at him, "Ah, don't be nervous." His eyes moved to the right and fell on Bai Shuyu's face, "I and this young master are old acquaintances."

old acquaintance?Nightingale didn't have such a person in her memory, and Bai Shuyu's face was gloomy, and she didn't show the slightest joy in the man's smile.This deepened Nightingale's suspicion.

At the same time, some of the customers who recognized the man screamed.

"Ah, isn't this... the son of the Quan family?"

"That's right, I'm next." Responding, the man's gaze was fixed on Bai Shuyu's face. He slowly opened the folding fan in his hand, and his words seemed to be teasing, "My name is Quan." Gui, Huang... Ha, Mr. Bai is so forgetful, don't you remember?"
