In terms of age, Fang Zhengzheng is still half a year away from turning eighteen, while Chi Guyan is not much different in age from Fang Zhengzheng, and is almost seventeen years old now.
Seventeen years old...
According to the world's concept, you can almost get married at the age of seventeen.
"Shameless guy, what are you thinking about? Why don't you leave yet?" Pingyang saw that Fang Zheng had been silent for a long time, so he couldn't help but urge him.
"Oh, let's go." Fang Zhengzheng nodded, his eyes fell on Pingyang again, and he took another look: "Youth, sixteen years old!"
…
In Prince Duan's Mansion.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, who was dressed in brocade clothes, was accompanied by Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen, and walked quickly towards the gate of the mansion. Behind them, there were also several generals of the city guard.
"Have you gone out yet?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue asked the generals behind him.
"Yes, for some reason, Fang Zhengzheng actually left Pingyang Mansion early today. According to past habits, he should have been out for half an hour!" A general replied quickly.
"He had a great time!" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue couldn't help but cursed when he heard this.
These days, Fang Zhengzheng, Yan Xiu and others are running to Qixingfang every day. Naturally, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue cannot sit idly by and ignore them. No matter how reluctant he is, he still orders the city guards to patrol near Qixingfang every day.
Of course, thankfully...
And nothing happened.
This is a good thing.
However, today is different.
Today is the big day when the Holy One holds a banquet for thousands of old men at Shili Lake. Although there are imperial guards guarding the banquet, most of the city guards are still mobilized.
In particular, almost all of the top experts in the City Guards were transferred there. After all, the safety of the Holy Emperor was related to the world.
There was no other way, so Duan Wang Lin Xinjue had no choice but to lead the team himself.
But what made him angry was that Fang Zhengzheng and others unexpectedly left early today, which made Prince Duan Lin Xinjue very unhappy.
Because he hasn't had time to eat yet.
When I think about my status as a majestic king, now I have to stay hungry outside Qixingfang for two or three hours in order to protect Fang Zhengzheng, who is idle and having fun all day long, listening to the sounds of Yingyingyan coming from inside. Talking, laughing and joking, how does he feel
He didn't want to go.
Unable to bear the exhortation from Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen, he finally gritted his teeth, picked up a table full of freshly served food and wine, and walked out of the room.
"You guys walk faster, Fang Zhengzheng is probably almost at Qixingfang now." Mr. Wen urged as he glanced at the several city guard generals following behind him.
Of course he meant this to Prince Duan Lin Xinjue, but it had to be done in a different way.
Of course Duan Wang Lin Xinjue could understand what Mr. Wen meant. The generals followed his lead, so urging the generals was tantamount to urging him.
Unhappy, extremely unhappy.
But after all, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again.
"Crack!"
Several guards guarding the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion immediately opened the door when they saw Prince Duan Lin Xinjue and the city guard generals rushing over.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue stepped out of the mansion in one step. Just as he was about to turn right to Qixingfang, he stopped.
because…
There was a group of people standing in front of him, all of them wearing bright armor. In front of this group of people, there was a figure that he was very familiar with.
He was wearing a silver brocade suit with a soaring silver dragon embroidered on it. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Sixth brother, where are you going?" A concerned voice sounded.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue looked at the figure in front of him and the group of sergeants still standing behind the figure, and his brows instantly wrinkled.
The person who came was of course Prince Lin Tianrong.
only…
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue did not understand why Prince Lin Tianrong appeared here at this time, and, most importantly, he had such a group of sergeants behind him.
"Is there something wrong, Third Brother?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue asked after frowning.
"I can't talk about anything. I just miss my sixth brother recently. My father happened to go to Shili Lake, so I came over to visit my sixth brother. What's the matter? Don't you invite your third brother to come and sit in the house?" Prince Lin Tianrong said with a smile on his face. road.
"Haha, thank you Third Brother for your concern, but it's not a coincidence that Third Brother came today. My father went to Shili Lake, and the city guards were short of manpower. As a last resort, I had no choice but to patrol in person. Third Brother knows that this Yanjing City If there is a problem with public security, my brother will be the first to be involved."
"Sixth brother is absolutely right. My father held a banquet at Shili Lake, and the defense of Yanjing City was lacking. All the imperial guards and city guards in the palace went to Shili Lake. If something goes wrong at this time, it would be hard to take responsibility for it!"
"Since Third Brother knows, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"
"Haha, the sixth brother is worrying too much. The third brother knows your difficulties. Look, didn't I bring someone here for you? I borrowed this from the Ministry of War specifically, which is considered favoritism." Prince Lin Tianrong smiled again and said He pointed at the sergeants wearing bright armor behind him.
"Aren't you afraid of being punished by your father if you secretly mobilize people from the Ministry of War?" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"Afraid, of course I am afraid, but for the safety of Yanjing City and for the sixth brother to better perform his duties, as an elder brother, what does it mean to receive a few words of punishment? The sixth brother will not go to sue me in front of the father, right?" Prince Lin Tianrong asked with a smile.
"Haha, third brother is joking!"
"Okay, I've solved the manpower problem for you. If the sixth brother continues to refuse to accompany the third brother for a few drinks, that would be a bit unjust, right?" Prince Lin Tianrong said this, with a faint light in his eyes.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the smile on Prince Lin Tianrong's face, he subconsciously clenched his fists, but finally let go.
"Third brother, if you can come here specially to visit me, I will accompany you today!"
"Okay, very good. I brought the best wine here today. My father is not here, so you and I must not get drunk today!" Prince Lin Tianrong also laughed when he heard this.
"Third brother, please!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue made way for a passage and led Prince Lin Tianrong into the palace. Then he winked at Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen.
When Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen saw Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's gaze, they nodded slightly and led the generals behind them directly out of the mansion.
The group of sergeants who were originally following Prince Lin Tianrong also quickly followed.
"Mr. Hua, I have been ordered by the prince to assist the city guards in the defense. If Mr. Hua doesn't mind, I can take charge of the western part of the city." A general quickly walked up to Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen and said.
"No need, we can defend the western part of the city." Mr. Hua refused directly.
"Mr. Hua, there is no need to be polite to me. Although we belong to the Ministry of War, since we are here to assist the city guards in defense, we will definitely perform our duties faithfully. If there is any problem in the west of the city today, we will let Mr. Hua handle it!" After the general finished speaking, Ignoring Mr. Hua's objections, he walked directly towards the west of the city.
A group of sergeants immediately followed.
Mr. Hua looked at this scene, his brows finally furrowed, and a vague light flashed in his eyes.
"I'm afraid something may happen today!" Mr. Wen spoke at this time. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach Mr. Hua's ears.
"Well, it looks like we're going to take action." Mr. Hua nodded.
"If you fight these people head-on, you will fall into the trap. When the time comes, they will definitely take the opportunity to make noise and cause trouble, attracting all the city guards." Mr. Wen said while looking at the sergeants rushing towards the west of the city.
"Yes, the only way now is to defend together. Only in this way, they will not find a chance to cause trouble." Mr. Hua nodded again.
"That's true, but in this way, when something really happens, they will still deliberately block it. If time is delayed, something will still happen."
"We have to play it by ear!"
"Well, let's go!"
…
Qixingfang, since the Dianmo Tower was burned down, has become the brightest star in the eight-mile fireworks field in Yanjing City, and its liveliness is even more lively than the original Dianmo Tower.
The reason is very simple, Qixingfang gathers all the top names in Bali Fireworks.
It’s called Seven Stars!
Of course, it is not groundless, but there are indeed seven stars.
Of course, the so-called seven stars are the seven top stars. The most famous top stars in the Bali Fireworks Land were all included in the Seven Stars Square within a month.
No one knows how the boss behind Qixingfang did it, but the fact is the fact, all the top players have arrived at Qixingfang.
And the boss of Qixingfang took the popularity of these seven top names to the limit.
Seven stars are seven days.
Every day is a trick, every day is a top card, and the most special thing is that you don't know which one is the top card on which day.
Because there are no rules at all for the appearance of the top card.
This resulted in all the talented people having to come, stay, and wait every day. As a result, the prosperity of Qixingfang became bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Many people feel that Qixingfang's behavior will inevitably cause complaints.
But the fact is not...
For more than a year, the popularity of Qixingfang has not decreased but has increased. This is of course related to the continuous innovation of new programs and performances in Qixingfang.
What's more important is the inexplicable sense of expectation.
For example, who will be the top performer today? Even, which two top names are performing together today? Or is it the gathering of seven stars, playing the top cards in unison
So many changes.
When the seven top cards are freely combined with flowers, the freshness, excitement, and mystery become a trend.
Moreover, this trend has also triggered a side industry.
That is…
"Guess the seven stars!"
"Come and take custody, take custody!"
"Guess how many top players will appear in Qixingfang today. If any young master can bet on which top players will appear, the money will be returned tenfold!"
High-pitched voices rang outside Qixingfang. As long as the top card didn't come out, the gambling table would be as lively as a vegetable market.
"Who do you think Young Master Li is appearing on today?"
"Lan Yi, it must be Lan Yi!"
"Why is Mr. Li so sure that it is Miss Lan Yi?"
"Miss Lan Yi has not been seen for five days. I guess she must be the first to appear today. As for the rest... I guess it is probably Miss Yue Qing!"
"What Young Master Li said makes sense! If Miss Lan Yi appears today, then Miss Yue Qing has the greatest chance of appearing!"
"That's right, Miss Lan Yi's drums and Miss Yue Qing's harp are a perfect match. Anyway, I'm betting on Miss Lan Yi and Miss Yue Qing today!"
"I will follow Master Li too!"
Several young men from aristocratic families were standing in front of the gambling table and discussing, and at the same time, they also handed over the banknotes to the gambling table in exchange for gambling tickets.
At this time, a group of four people also slowly approached the gambling table.
Fang Zhengyi, Wen Dabao, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang, these four people who caused trouble in Yanjing City, naturally caused a stir when they appeared on the scene.
However, Fang Zhengzheng had been visiting Qixingfang every day these days, so some young men from aristocratic families would not be too surprised when they saw him again.
"Look, Fang Zhengzheng is here again!"
"My name is Fang Zhengzheng. Don't you remember that Mr. Chen was beaten because of this that day?"
"Well… "
The young masters from the aristocratic families were discussing in a low voice, and did not dare to speak too loudly. After all, Fang Zhengzheng was accompanied by the tyrant of Yanjing City.
As the saying goes, as soon as Pingyang takes action, he will know if there is any!
No one dares to resist Pingyang's oppression, and no one dares to escape Pingyang's vicious hands. Therefore, whenever Pingyang takes action, he will inevitably scream in agony.
As Fang Zhengzheng and others approached, they consciously made way for a passage in front of the gambling table.
Wen Dabao's eyes were very bright, almost as bright as the seven red lanterns hanging on Qixingfang.
As a representative figure in Yanjing city for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, he would naturally not miss the fun, exciting and money-making thing of betting on seven stars.
Of course, the most important thing is that he now has money, lots and lots of money, and after all the money is spent, nothing will happen to him.
only…
In the past few days, he had been betting and losing continuously, and he was still somewhat hesitant. After all, the money was not picked up, but he took it from the steward of Wen Mansion's accounting room.
Although he is a typical person who eats, drinks and plays around, he still has the basic thinking. If he can win, naturally no one wants to lose.
"Mr. Fang, why do you win every time, but I always fail? Is it possible that there is really any pattern to this seven-star bet?" Wen Dabao muttered unwillingly.
"Is there a pattern? Of course there is." Fang Zhengzheng nodded matter-of-factly.
"Is there really a pattern? Impossible. I heard that the top players in Seven Stars are personally decided by the boss of Seven Stars. If you can't even get inside information, how can there be a pattern?" Wen Dabao was a little confused. believe.
"Haha, even if it is decided by the boss himself, he will definitely abide by a rule!" Fang Zhengzheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.
