The sun has gradually set to the west, and the twilight has covered the entire sky. The fiery red sunset glow and the various lanterns hanging in the market are in contrast.
Li Luo protected the petite Liu Ruoyan, preventing them from being scattered by the crowd. He was wearing a jade-white brocade robe with a blue border. The dark golden gold thread on the brocade robe outlined blooming lotus flowers, and his waist was tied with a dark blue half-foot-wide belt, which made his waist look more prominent. With slender limbs, the whole person is like Mr. Pian Pianjia who stepped out of the painting.
From time to time, Liu Ruoyan peeked at Li Luo out of the corner of her eye, her face was slightly pink. For convenience, she also changed into a turquoise brocade robe, but she could still see a little bit of her daughter's beauty. Seeing Li Luo subconsciously taking care of her, she couldn't help but feel a little excited, and when she saw any gadgets she liked by the street, she asked Li Luo to buy them all for her.
Since Li Luo has already followed Liu Ruoyan out, it is naturally impossible for Liu Ruoyan to pay, and today is her birthday. So when they came to the largest shop selling lanterns in the city, Li Luo already had many things in his arms.
When Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan came to the lantern shop, they happened to see a few people gathered around the door in front of the shop, attracting countless people's attention.
A man in a rough jacket was holding a goldfish-shaped lantern in his hand, and he kept saying to a guy who kept bowing his body and had a flattering smile on his face: "Look at the lanterns sold in your lantern shop." , The workmanship is so rough, the pattern of the scales on the tail of the goldfish is a bit mushy after being slightly heated, and it cost me 20 Wen. "
The clerk couldn't stop laughing and bowing, "This customer, the shop is a small business, and all the lanterns are sold at the lowest price. If you are really not satisfied with this lantern, the shop can return it."
Liu Ruoyan saw the lantern in the hand of the guest with a tinge of anger at a glance, and her starry eyes lit up immediately. She took two quick steps forward, "Brother, where did you buy this lantern?"
The angry guest turned his head and saw Liu Ruoyan, and said, "Young master, are you asking where I bought the lotus lantern in my hand? It seems that you have discernment, so please don't leave here. I bought this lotus lantern from a lantern shop, and I used the store to bully customers. I bought this lotus lantern in an old street, and the store has a history of more than ten years... "
When the customer was talking, the guy next to him kept begging to look at the customer with a bitter face, and finally stretched out his hand to hold the customer, and welcomed him into the store while persuading him.
Liu Ruoyan got the address of her favorite lantern shop, so she took Li Luo to the place the customer said.
The two of them crossed the busy street and turned into an alley next to it. The old shop that made lanterns that the guest mentioned was in this alley. Although there are still people walking out here with exquisite lanterns from time to time, but compared with the street where the shoulders have just rubbed shoulders, it looks very deserted.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Yinyue showed her figure from the west, like a layer of light veil, and the light she cast was also hazy.
The further you walked into the alley, the fewer people there were. When he saw the shop with two lanterns hanging outside from a distance, Li Luo faintly felt something was wrong. He vigilantly leaned against Liu Ruoyan who was walking next to him, taking a protective posture, and put his hand on the saber at his waist.
Li Luo turned sideways slightly, and with the hand on the saber, he pulled out the sharp long sword inside as quickly as possible, twisted his flexible waist, and with a flash of sword light, he stabbed at a person who was approaching quietly behind him. shadow.
The black shadow turned down neatly, avoiding the long sword stabbed by Li Luo, and then jumped up again, grabbing Li Luo with both hands like claws.
Liu Ruoyan also realized something was wrong at this time, she was about to touch her waist and take down the sachet she was hanging there, but a small stone shot from nowhere hit her sleeping hole, and she closed her eyes Just collapsed on the ground.
Hearing a muffled sound behind him, Li Luo couldn't help shaking his head. The long sword hit the shadow's hand wearing a pair of black gloves, and there was a clang of gold and stone.
The black shadow took the opportunity to get close to Li Luo, and slapped Li Luo with both hands like flower blossoms. Li Luo's figure immediately retreated, and at this moment his attention was on the black shadow in front of him. , didn't even notice that there were two black shadows quietly surrounding him behind him.
By the time Li Luo found the two black figures approaching from behind, he had already been pointed at the sleeping hole.
After Li Luo fell, two black shadows came down from above, and five groups surrounded Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan who were lying on the ground. Li Luo jumped onto the roof.
The others glanced at Liu Ruoyan who was lying on the ground, then quickly moved Liu Ruoyan to the wall to pose in a drunken posture, and then followed the man in black who was carrying Li Luo to the roof, disappeared.

Qin Yu didn't come out of the study room until the moon was in the middle of the sky. He walked back to the courtyard where he and Li Luo lived together at twice the speed of ordinary people. But tonight was different from usual, this time he didn't see the lamp Li Luo left for him.
The slight smile on Qin Yu's lips suddenly disappeared. He walked quickly to the door, pushed the door open with one hand, and glanced inside. The room was dark, the quilts were neatly piled up at the foot of the bed, and there was no one there.
The smile on Qin Yu's face completely disappeared, and he frowned suspiciously.
According to Li Luo's past habits, he must have already stayed in the room at this time.
What's going on today
Qin Yu walked out of the room and turned to the guard outside the mansion.
When the four soldiers standing on both sides of the mansion gate saw Qin Yu coming, they immediately wanted to make a move to Qin Yu. Qin Yu raised his hand to stop them from saluting, and then asked, "Did you see Adjutant Su?"
One of the soldiers opened his mouth and replied: "Adjutant Su and Miss Liu went out in the evening, and they haven't come back yet."
Went out with Liu Ruoyan? And still haven't come back? !
After hearing what the soldier said, Qin Yu's face darkened immediately. He told him early tomorrow that he was not allowed to have too much contact with Liu Ruoyan. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to forget what he had promised him.
