Morbid pet

Chapter 30 The Hall of Longevity

As night fell, the lights shone brightly.

The most prosperous streets in Hua'an City are decorated with colorful lights, which is very beautiful.

Changle has always liked shiny things, and he couldn't move his feet when he saw the lanterns of different shapes on both sides of the street.

In Chang'an City, it was difficult for her to participate in a common people's festival. It was really because of the complicated forces in Chang'an City, and the emperor would not let her take risks. That is, she was taken out by Zhou Yu once when she was a child. Just that one time, Changle will remember for a lifetime .

Chang Le smiled and picked up a red rabbit lamp, Xie Zhao had already held the money bag in his hand, and was going to go all the way to buy it for her.

Xie Zhao asked, "Old man, how do you sell the rabbit lamp?"

The person watching the stall was a thin old man, he sat on the Taishi chair, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Not for sale."

"why?"

The old man continued slowly: "Are you outsiders? I don't know the rules of our Hua'an. If you want colored lanterns, you need to guess lantern riddles. There is a riddle under each lantern. If you guess correctly, you can take it away. No money! "

What he said was so full of spirit that he shook the flickering lanterns on the booth.

Changle turned over the lamp in his hand, and a row of block letters came into view: "The most desolate place"

Changle thought hard, "The most desolate place is hell?"

The old man was drinking tea, and the tea spouted out of his mouth when Chang Le laughed.

Old man: "Little girl, that's not right."

Xie Zhao reminded: "Isn't it written later? I have to answer idioms."

Chang Le thought for a while: "Steep mountain!"

Xie Zhao smiled and shook his head.

Chang Le was depressed, threw down the rabbit lamp, picked up another one, frowned and thought.

Xie Zhao picked up the lamp she had just dropped, and said casually, "No blade of grass will grow."

The old man smiled: "Young man, take it away."

Chang Le stared at Xie Zhao in surprise: "You are educated?"

Xie Zhao only replied indifferently: "I like to read books when I'm bored in the deep palace. It's useless."

Chang Le looked at him dubiously, then pointed to the lantern shop and said, "I want them all, you can solve the riddle next to me."

Xie Zhao supported his head and laughed, "Okay, you can do whatever you say."

After a stick of incense.

Behind Changle was already filled with colored lights, and because she and Xie Zhao were too dazzling wherever they went, a circle of people quickly gathered around them, casting envious eyes or pointing at them and talking What.

Changle's eyes are only on Xie Zhao at the moment. It seems that he just picked up a lamp casually, and then turned it over to look at the riddle below. In an instant, he answered the correct answer.

The lantern on this shop has been answered by Xie Zhao until there is only the last one left, and the answer is ready to come out, but Xie Zhao paused. He looked at the old man sitting in the booth and said, "Old man, this last one is reserved for you." You, we don't want it anymore."

"Third watch, come and give the old man some happy money." Xie Zhao said to the people behind him with sideways eyes.

The old man stood up, smiled and waved his hands and said no money.

In the middle of the night, he insisted on stuffing a currency gold ingot into the old man's hand.

After repeated evasions, the old man accepted it with a smile.

The old man: "Young man, use these poles to take away so many colored lights from you, and just hang the colored lights on them." The old man handed all four shelves to the third shift.

Changle happily held two rabbit lanterns in his hands, and then he carried two lantern stands in the middle of the night, causing passers-by to turn their heads frequently.

"There are opera singers! I want to see it." Chang Le pointed to a rising stage in front of him.

Xie Zhao: "Let's go."

Changle finally squeezed into the first row, and Xie Zhao followed her closely without leaving her.

The singing of babbling and babbling soon sounded. They sang "The Palace of Eternal Life". Changle liked this story very much. Every time he read the script, he would cry frequently, and this time was no exception.

When he saw Maweipo, two lines of clear tears dripped from Changle's eyes, Xie Zhao kept his gaze on her, and he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her face.

Xie Zhao: "Little crying bag, this person can cry so badly."

Changle sobbed and said: "Xie Zhao, you are a big villain, you don't understand, Concubine Yang Gui is really pitiful! If I were Concubine Yang, I would cut the leader of the rebel army into pieces first and then put him in oil." Fry it twice in the pot, and then force the alchemist who bewitched me to drink mercury and lead mercury until his blood vessels are stained with silver and lead!"

Xie Zhao asked, "Then how will you treat Tang Xuanzong?"

Chang Le smiled and shook his head: "I won't do anything to him, I will only mess up the court, let his ancestral business fall into my hands, and then go to the sea of ​​fire with him happily when the country is subjugated."

Xie Zhao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hugged the person in his arms tightly, "I will never let you reach the level of Concubine Yang."

Changle: "You are not an emperor, and I am not a concubine, how can I get here?"

"Um"

Hua Dan, who was wearing pink clothes on the stage, jumped up and stabbed at Chang Le's position with a silver dagger in his hand.

Xie Zhao immediately drew out his Liuyun Sword and blocked the assassin's blow forcefully. The crowd began to scream and push each other, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Chang Le was held tightly by Xie Zhao, and one assassin slowly turned into three, and then five, attacking fiercely in the direction of Chang Le from the chaotic crowd.

A cold voice suddenly sounded next to my ear: "Xie Zhao, 36 tricks, it seems that your studies are not very good."

Before Xie Zhao could turn his head to look for the direction of the sound, the person in his arms disappeared, obviously the one who was still beside him just now.

Xie Zhaofa ruthlessly took the assassin's life, and quickly dealt with these people.

He stood on the stage and tried to find Changle's figure from a high place, but he couldn't see it for a long time. He was trembling like a wild beast imprisoned.

"Changle—"

An echo was heard from afar, "Xie Zhao! I'm here—" But the sound was fleeting, and Xie Zhao fixed his sights on the alley behind him.

San Geng and Ye Ban pushed through the crowd and ran over, "Master!"

Xie Zhao roared angrily: "Look for someone! Chang Le is gone! Tell Hua San to shut down the city immediately! Send someone to do a blanket search!"

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night and the third watch, they ran separately and left quickly.

Xie Zhao followed the voice and ran along the dark alley for a long time. His heart was beating like a drum. He had done too many sinful things and killed too many wronged souls. Who wanted to harm his baby? !
When he ran to the river, he saw Chang Le standing beside the Xuan River with his head covered and his hands tied, beside her was the pink-clothed Huadan just now.

Hua Dan wore heavy makeup, so she couldn't see her real face clearly. She smiled coldly on the river bank: "Xie Zhao, who asked me to tell you a sentence: Love in this world is as dewy as lightning, and it is ultimately illusory. Indulging in a woman , will miss your life—"

Xie Zhao: "Who?"

Hua Dan asked back, "Who else?"

Xie Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Queen!"

Huadan hooked her lips and smiled, and kicked Changle in her arms off the raging Xuanhe.

Xie Zhao: "No—"

Hua Dan: "Hahahahaha, Xie Zhao, I didn't expect people like you to have love, how ridiculous!" She laughed wildly, "Is the Palace of Eternal Life beautiful?"

"It's not good-looking!" Xie Zhao went crazy, ran to the river and cut Hua Dan's throat with a knife, so that she would not die, but she couldn't utter a complete syllable anymore, and she was still babbling. The sound was like a broken bellows, dry and unpleasant.

If you listen carefully, you will know that what she said is actually: "Changle's hands and feet are bound and her mouth is blocked. She is going to die and she can't even call for help. The body will be washed away by the Xuan River and no one will find it." Go to the place, then slowly rot in the ground, and finally set up a naked tomb with her favorite Zhou Yu!"

It's a pity that Xie Zhao didn't understand her vicious curse.
