The hawker greeted them with a warm look, looking like an ordinary stall owner.
Xie Xuanchen nodded with a smile and said, "Okay. But it's not necessary to be cheap. If you really want to do business, you might as well use the dagger tied to your leg as a head."
The hawker's simple and honest face was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Lang, you are a good citizen, how can you have a dagger?"
"If you are a good citizen of the Han people, why do you put the Buddhist scriptures of the party in the front of your clothes?" Xie Xuanchen was still calm, and said some surprising words at random, "Next time you pretend to be a Han, remember to be more careful, it's not enough to shave."
The peddler was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised a handful of chestnuts towards Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. The hot chestnuts rolled to the ground, and when the line of sight could be seen clearly, the hawker pulled out a short knife from nowhere, and stabbed Xie Xuanchen inevitably.
After the hawker tore apart the simple and honest appearance, he turned out to be so vicious.
Xie Xuanchen pulled Mu Mingtang away as early as the moment the hawker moved, and the chestnuts that fell randomly did not hit them. After the chestnut rain passed, the tip of the hawker's knife had arrived, and it looked very thrilling.
The people next to him were so frightened by the accident that they hurriedly backed away. After they stood firm, they saw a pair of young and beautiful young men and women standing on the street. The two of them were gorgeously dressed and fair-skinned. At first glance, they looked like silly and pampered white sweets from a big family.
Once such a person is separated from the guards, he is a walking fat sheep, and everyone wants to come up and slaughter it. What's worse, the hawker's knife was already approaching his back, and the jade-faced son of the two was not in a hurry, and lowered his head to check the condition of the woman beside him.
The people on both sides looked like they were breaking into a cold sweat, wishing they could go forward and shake that silly white sweet boy awake. What time is it, don't be in a hurry, you're all going to die!
Not long ago, in the restaurant across the street, someone put down the telescope and said to the people around him, "Look, isn't that the Han prince who came down from the city tower, someone has already done it."
They happened to see Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang being taken away from the guards and came to this street. They could tell at a glance that the hawker was doing something wrong, and the people around him who seemed to be hawkers were actually accomplices.
The group of them occupied the private room with the widest view on the third floor. When they heard the words of their companions, a man in a dark green sleeved robe stepped forward and saw the turmoil on the street not far away without a telescope. .
"It turned out to be him. Is it ours?"
"No." Different from the dark green man dressed as a Han Chinese, this companion was still wearing clothes that were cut from top to bottom, and said, "Khan has orders, this time is just to inquire about the news, don't attract Ye Ting's attention. Although our people noticed it, But didn't do it."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "Eight princes, you shaved your face and then put on Han clothes, you still look like a Han."
Yeluyan was holding a telescope to take a closer look at the Han prince's appearance, and when he heard his companion's words, he sneered contemptuously: "You compare me to that little white-faced prince? Even if I change into Han clothes, I'm still a Khitan warrior in my bones. Like the royal family of the Ye Dynasty, the white ones are like women, and they are weak."
Yeluyan is the eighth prince of Beirong. This time, they were ordered by the Beirong emperor to come to Tokyo to spy on the news. Now the Beirong Dynasty is arguing about whether to discuss peace or war. The Ye Dynasty is peaceful, rich and weak, so it is a bit difficult for Beirong to endure this piece of fat sheep.
But the conservatives are worried that King Qiyang is still alive. Ye Dynasty Xie Xuanchen, this name is the nightmare of all the surrounding regimes.
Conservatives advocate negotiating peace first, and then make plans slowly after finding out the situation, while the other group advocates direct war. The Lord and the main war faction were arguing endlessly. Finally, Emperor Beirong ordered to send someone to Tokyo to investigate the situation and find out the economic and military strength of the Ye Dynasty. The most important thing was to find out whether King Qiyang was dead or not.
The existence of this person is too bad.
As soon as this errand came out, many people rushed to recommend themselves, and in the end, Yelu Yan, who had been to the Ye Dynasty, stood out from the group of brothers. When Yeluyan came, it was in time for the Shangyuan Festival. Although he dismissed the weakness of the Ye Dynasty, he had to say that the culture, singing and dancing, and economy of the Han people were really impressive.
With such a grand festival and such a large population, the North Rong Shang is even less than one-tenth of it. But such a prosperous capital belongs to a weak and incompetent court.
Yeluyan was very dissatisfied.
Yeluyan and his companions talked freely, and no one cared much about the accident below. From their point of view, the Han man looked weak and weak, and his ability to adapt to the situation was extremely poor. The knife was stabbed in the back, and he was still in a hurry. In their eyes, this person is already dead.
What Yeluyan cared about was the upcoming imperial army. I haven't dealt with each other for a long time, so I don't know how strong the army of the Ye Dynasty is now.
Yeluyan and the others were talking when they suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from downstairs. Yeluyan and several others were attracted to their eyes: "What's the matter?"
There is only one far lens, which naturally belongs to Yeluyan, and the others can only see with their eyes. Although I couldn't see clearly, I could see that the little white face was still standing on the ground just now, but the hawker was gone.
At this moment, the peddler was lying on the ground with broken ribs, unable to stand up at all. He just attacked Xie Xuanchen just now, but Xie Xuanchen's standing position remained unchanged, and he kept lowering his head and asking the woman beside him. The hawker was already sure that he had succeeded, but he didn't expect that when the tip of the knife approached, the man suddenly turned around, didn't even look at it, just kicked, and the hawker flew out like a broken kite. Ribs cut off.
The crowd burst into screams, and the surrounding accomplices saw it, and they also showed a hideous appearance. They pulled out weapons from under the cart, from the shelves, and from their bodies, and rushed towards Xie Xuanchen together. Xie Xuanchen was still standing beside Mu Mingtang, always holding Mu Mingtang in one hand. He didn't change his standing position. He only used one hand, and the arm of the other man was removed with the movement of his wrist.
Xie Xuanchen basically sent one of two moves away, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was full of battle-damaged people whose mobility was abolished. And Xie Xuanchen's clothes didn't even rub against dust, and his figure just moved slightly, and his position didn't change much.
Mu Mingtang, who was guarded by him, was even more so. She only saw sharp blades rushing towards her, and she didn't have time to react. She saw these weapons fall again, and the ground also fell in a mess. pile of people. When she realized whether she should run and hide, everything was over.
Mu Mingtang froze in place and asked, "Is it gone?"
"This batch is gone."
At this time, the guards who were thrown away can be regarded as chasing after them. They rampaged all the way, pushing away the crowd, and when they saw Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang standing well, but a bunch of people of different shapes were lying on the ground, they obviously couldn't react.
When Xie Xuanchen saw this group of people, he sneered and said, "It can be considered that they are chasing after them. A group of trash, what's the use of you?"
The Guards finally realized that it was not King An who wanted to escape, but someone who had assassinated King An. They knelt on the ground with a sonorous cry, and clasped their fists together: "I am late for the escort of my humble duty, Your Highness forgives your sins."
"What are you doing, do you even want me to teach you the prisoners?" Xie Xuanchen said in a bad tone, "It's still alive, unload their chins, and don't let them commit suicide."
"Honestly obey orders."
At this time, a person on the ground stretched out his hand with difficulty, and seemed to want to kill himself with a knife. He had already raised the dagger and was about to exert force when suddenly a chestnut flew diagonally above, hitting the hilt with great force. into the seam.
The assassin was unable to extract the dagger several times, and he spat blood from his mouth, which contained shards of shattered internal organs. Desperate and indignant, he used the last of his strength and hissed, "Who are you?"
Xie Xuanchen pulled Mu Mingtang to leave. Hearing the assassin's words, he just laughed coldly: "You are unlucky to die in my hands. Remember it when you reincarnate in the next life. My name is Xie Xuanchen."
Xie Xuanchen, it turned out to be Xie Xuanchen.
When the assassin heard this, he spit out another mouthful of blood for some reason, and roared up to the sky with blood in his mouth: "Xie Xuanchen, you are actually Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen is not dead, but the sky will kill me!"
After he finished speaking, he vomited blood and fell to the side completely, out of breath.
Mu Mingtang was uncomfortable seeing these bloody scenes, and Xie Xuanchen didn't want her to watch them, so he quickly pulled her away. When the two walked away, Mu Mingtang vaguely heard the assassin's dying cry, she glanced at Xie Xuanchen, and held his hand tightly: "That person is talking nonsense, you are living well, you are not dead. Bah. ,Ominous."
Xie Xuanchen was amused and laughed. He didn't expect that after such a turmoil, Mu Mingtang didn't shout or cry, and the first sentence he said was actually unlucky.
"Okay, unlucky. We won't listen." Xie Xuanchen covered Mu Mingtang's ears and asked, "Do you still want to eat chestnuts?"
"I don't want it anymore, let's go back."
"it is good."
Yeluyan put down the telescope and was silent for a long time, and the other Khitans did not ask. After a while, one of them asked in a harsh voice, "When did Han Ting have such a character? Who is he?"
The room was silent for a while. Although no one said it, everyone had an answer in their hearts.
Such an age, such a force, and a prominent identity.
Who else would it be.
He is Xie Xuanchen.
After a while, a man spat forcefully and broke the silence with a scolding: "Bah, I thought that even if Xie Xuanchen wouldn't be stubborn, at least he should be strong, but it turned out to be such a little white face?"
Yeluyan was also in a complicated mood. He silently watched Xie Xuanchen leave with his princess, as relaxed as nothing else. Just looking at Xie Xuanchen's current appearance, who would have thought that just now, he alone had knocked down a dozen people with his bare hands.
Yeluyan's good mood just now was swept away, and he didn't even have the interest to plunder the bustling streets of Tokyo. Very good, they can go back and return to their father Khan.
Time gradually passed, and the towering and gorgeous dragon lantern really won all the lanterns all the way and was pushed to Xuande's gate.
When the people in the square saw a tall and majestic dragon pushing towards them, they gave a surprise applause, and even the emperor who claimed to be on the door smiled.
Everyone on the city gate has seen the world, but even so, they are full of praise when they see this lamp. The dragon is extremely tall, and its top is already higher than the pier, just enough for the emperor to look up and see the dragon head. The drawing of the faucet is very fine, majestic and magnificent.
The emperor is very flamboyant, and the dragon is very happy to see such a dragon lantern dedicated to him. Before lighting the lamp, the eunuch knew that it was done. The eunuch who offered the lamp put honey on the corners of his mouth and said: "Beiguan's family, this is the dragon lamp, only the real dragon can hold it down. There is no ignition yet, only the other The shape has no spirit, and it will be really beautiful when it is lit after a while."
The emperor was happier when he heard it. There were a lot of echoing voices at the city gate, and everyone was singing their praises. Only Jiang Mingwei looked at the tall and mighty dragon lantern and did not speak.
This light is off.
Jiang Mingwei remembered very clearly that in the plot, after the dragon lantern was pushed, the emperor and the concubines greatly appreciated it, and they all waited on the tower to turn on the lights at Hai Shi, but they neglected the fire in the palace. Later, the people in the Queen Mother's Palace hurriedly ran to the tower to say that there was a fire. The Queen Mother was shocked, and the others rushed downstairs. In such a mess, the lights of Hai Shi naturally did not light up.
The lights have already been pushed, which means that, right away, Donghuamen will be on fire.
Jiang Mingwei made up her mind and immediately excused herself to go downstairs to change clothes. She turned around below, ran up again with a heavy expression, and walked up to the queen and the queen mother with a solemn face: "Mother, the queen mother, my son has something important to report."
The queen didn't take it seriously, but she saw Jiang Mingwei's serious expression, not joking, so she put the letter in her ear with suspicion. Jiang Mingwei said something in a low voice, and the queen's face changed slightly: "Do you really say this?"
"It's true. My son heard someone plotting to set fire to the fire, but it was dark and I couldn't see his face. When my son came out, there was no one to speak to. The official family, the mother and the queen mother were all on the tower. Dare to be careless, and hurriedly come up and report. My mother, Xuandemen is not safe at this time, and I asked the official family and my mother to move the car."
Jiang Mingwei said it in a decent manner, the queen expected that no one would dare to joke about this kind of thing, and immediately became serious. She went to tell the emperor and the empress dowager that there was suspected assassination in the palace, and the emperor changed his face.
The other concubines and concubines became confused when they saw the empress's expression changed. The female relatives went downstairs in a panic. The emperor, the queen, and the queen mother hid for a while, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Jiang Mingwei expected that the fire would burn soon, so she was not in a hurry to explain, she just shied away and said that she would understand immediately. When the emperor heard these words, his face was ugly. Jiang Mingwei couldn't say too much, just waiting for the fire of Qingning Palace to burn, and then the emperor would naturally understand her credit.
Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang came in through the doorway on the left of Xuandemen, and found that the palace was in a mess, and the guards were frequently moved. However, ask the Praetorian Guards, and they themselves cannot tell what happened.
Mu Mingtang frowned, puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know." Xie Xuanchen said calmly, "Go up and have a look."
Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang boarded the tower and found that there was no one on the tower. Looking at the traces on the ground, it seemed that they left in a hurry. This is strange. There is a tall dragon lantern parked outside the city wall, which is very majestic, but there is no one on the viewing platform.
Xie Xuanchen grabbed a little eunuch and asked, "What's going on here? Where is the emperor and the empress?"
The little eunuch shivered and said, "I don't know either, the only thing I know is that the official family and the empress went to a safe place to avoid."
At this time, when the time of Hai arrived, the people in the square did not know why, and when they saw that there were still people walking vaguely on the tower, they lit the lights as usual. Mu Mingtang was listening to Xie Xuanchen's question, when suddenly a light came to her side, she turned around in surprise, and saw a dragon light up one after another, with immortal aura in its majesty, as if it was about to rise into the air.
At this time, the people downstairs applauded and cheered: "The real dragon descends to earth, God bless my dynasty. Long live Your Majesty, Queen Qianqiu."
