Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 62 Red and Blue (1)
In the tile houses in Xijing, peonies are in full bloom, and the owners of flower shops have displayed their most precious flowers. "Wei Zi" and "Yao Huang" are not uncommon, attracting the attention of customers.

What is more lively than the flower market is the venue for juggling and performing arts, the most eye-catching one of which is a Tianzhu entertainer.

He was wearing a heavy turban on his head, and he was shaking his head and playing a round weird musical instrument. In front of him was an exquisite clay pot, in which a snake was dancing to the music.

Like a beautiful woman, the snake slowly crawled out of the pot, and every movement followed the rhythm of the music.

"It's a poisonous snake."

"If you are really bitten, you can die within a hundred steps."

The onlookers booed one after another, and a child from Tianzhu also came out with a pottery bowl, asking for money from the onlookers, and kept bragging about how poisonous the snake was.

He turned around, and all he received were copper coins, so he was inevitably a little disappointed.But at this moment, the light of the silver dazzled his eyes, and he saw a young man in Tsing Yi throwing the crushed silver horn into it.

"Is he really not going to be bitten?" The young man has a pair of fox eyes, and his face is soft and heroic. He is between men and women, and his temperament is extraordinary.

"Of course, he can speak snakes, and all snakes listen to him." The boy blew the cowhide loudly, because the snake was a fake snake made of poisonous snake skin, and it was controlled by fish gut. bite?

"Really..." The beautiful boy narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, the snake dancing with the music suddenly froze.Before the people around knew it, they saw a flash of black light, and it bit the snake charmer's nose with one bite.

"Wow!" The onlookers immediately ran away in fright, but the Tianzhu man grabbed the snake and said, "Today is really strange, how can a fake snake bite people..."

Halfway through his speech, there were already boos in his ears, and the spectators shouted and booed him to make him lose money.

Seeing this situation, the beautiful young man in Tsing Yi walked away with a smile on his face, his figure was as beautiful as the spring water of three rivers, but what he didn't expect was that his figure with fluttering Tsing Yi and black hair like a waterfall had already fallen into the eyes of a young girl.

It was a lady sitting in a soft sedan chair. She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and greedily looked at his perfect profile, unable to look away at all.

This is the most beautiful man she has ever seen in her life, a man as handsome as a banished fairy, her soul seemed to be attracted by him, suddenly her eyes went dark, and she fainted in the soft sedan chair.

"Miss, what's the matter with you, ma'am?" The servant girl's panicked call came from her ear, but she fell into a dark dream and refused to wake up.

In the dream, a beautiful young man in Tsing Yi drifted away.

一
The sun was scorching hot this day, Wang Zijin and Fei Xiao were drinking newly brewed apricot blossom wine and eating Hu Shang's salt-roasted chicken in the restaurant next to Wasi.

They have been in Xijing for a few days, and they can't get enough of seeing peonies in the suburban manor. If they don't have delicious chicken, they can't wait to plunge into the sea of ​​colorful flowers and never come out again.

Downstairs on the street, a big man performing qigong was performing qigong breaking stones and swallowing knives and guns. It was so exciting that Wang Zijin couldn't take his eyes off him, and even forgot to drink and eat food, applauding again and again.

"That's all a bluff, do you believe it too?" Fei Xiao said disapprovingly with a chicken leg in her mouth.

"So many people are watching, how is he going to do it? Maybe it's a natural power?"

"It only depends on whether the tricks are clever or not. Sometimes the more people there are, the easier it is to deceive. Otherwise, I'll show you a show?"

Wang Zijin saw that his eyes were playful, his eyebrows were raised high, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, "What are you going to do?"

I saw Fei Xiao cast a wink at the big man downstairs, who was struggling to lift a stone roller at this time, with a grim expression on his tired face and profuse sweat.

However, he couldn't lift it up with all his strength, and the stone roller still didn't move at all, so he couldn't help being surprised.This stone roller is carved out of wood, covered with white ash to pretend to be a stone roller, how could it become so heavy today?
Looking at the blushing face of the big man, Wang Zijin couldn't help but secretly complained for him, it's really unlucky for him today, how could he not be ashamed when he got in front of his deceitful ancestor?

However, the onlookers booed, and some even shouted and cursed. Fei Xiao leaned upstairs to watch the excitement, with a smirk on her lips, which was very funny.

Seeing that he was lost, the big man was about to leave the stage, but a folding fan was placed on his shoulder, and a clear and pleasant male voice said: "Don't worry about the strong man, how about Xiaosheng to help you perform?"

Behind him was a beautiful boy in white clothes, with a spring willow embroidered on the silk robe, black hair like ink, lips like red paint, he was more handsome than a woman.

But his figure is thin and elegant, and he seems to be very weak.

"Don't laugh at me!" He said angrily, it was just a joke.

But the beautiful young man smiled slightly, grabbed the stone roller on the ground, and threw it into the air with one hand, his posture was like flowing clouds and flowing water, chic and graceful.

"Divine power!" The spectators exclaimed again and again.

Only Wang Zijin on the second floor watched him play tricks upstairs helplessly. In order to show off, he didn't even bother to eat the chicken and went downstairs to deceive people.

Because in Wang Zijin's eyes, he could clearly see that Feixiao waved her long hand, and what was thrown into the sky was a folding fan.

More and more people gathered on the street, three floors inside and three floors outside, and the street was completely surrounded. There were even girls and young women who heard the news and came to watch the beautiful man's performance.

Prince Jin rested his chin, drinking wine and eating alone.

At this time, among the spectators, there was an old man with a long beard and brown silk satin clothes, looking at the figure of the young man in white clothes, his eyes were full of surprise.

Half an hour later, Fei Xiao showed enough of the limelight and came back to continue drinking with a smile on her face.

"Lang Jun, look this way."

"Young master is so handsome." There were a few frivolous girls downstairs who lingered and screamed, as if they were trying their best to get his attention.

"I didn't expect the girls from Xijing to be so bold." Wang Zijin looked at Yingying Yanyan and said enviously.

"Shopkeeper, do you have fine wine here? In this weather, apricot blossom wine is too strong."

Grape wine is worth thousands of gold, and ordinary people don't get a drop of it in a year. Wang Zijin rolled his eyes at him, only to feel that the silver is growing wings and flying away.

The waiter in the shop seemed to see the God of Wealth, and quickly brought a small wooden bucket with a piece of black ice under the bucket, which gave off a little bit of white air in summer, making it cool and pleasant.

"The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, call it immediately." Fei Xiao was not satisfied, and shook her head regretfully, "It's a pity that there is no luminous cup, otherwise it would be impeccable."

"You are so greedy for enjoyment, it's really hopeless..." Wang Zijin sighed and shook his head as if seeing the empty wallet.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard an old voice say: "Young Master's words are very true."

When Wang Zijin saw someone agreeing, his spirits lifted, "Did you mean me, old man?"

"No, no..." An old man in a brown satin robe came over, looked at Fei Hong with a smile on his face and said, "What I said is exactly what this young master said."

After finishing speaking, he sat down next to the two of them, "Drinking fine grape wine requires a luminous cup. The old man has sent people back home to get the luminous cup."

Fei Xiao chuckled lightly, bowed to him and said, "You won't be rewarded for your merits, I'm afraid the old man is asking for something?"

"Young master is really smart." The old man shook his head and sighed, "To tell you the truth, I have a difficult problem that I can't solve. I just saw you show your skills, maybe you can help me solve the problem."

"Xiaosheng's surname is Hu, please tell me the whole story first."

"Mr. Hu, my surname is Liu, and I am the steward of General Tongsu in Xijingdu."

After hearing this, Wang Zijin and Fei Xiao looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering how General Su could find them?

"I'm ashamed to say that General Su has a daughter who is seventeen years old this year and hasn't been betrothed yet." Butler Liu frowned slightly, obviously caught in bad memories.

"Is the lady of the Su family stunning?" Hearing that there was a boudoir girl, Wang Zijin immediately regained his spirits.

"It's so gorgeous." Butler Liu nodded again and again, as if his beard was sticking up, "General Su regards the girl as the jewel in his palm and loves her very much, but the girl has encountered serious trouble recently."

"What's the trouble?" Prince Jin asked anxiously.

"Alas..." the butler sighed, "She was bewitched by monsters, and she didn't think about eating and drinking every day, and her figure was getting thinner and thinner. Even if she invited a lot of Taoist priests, she couldn't get rid of the monsters."

"What does that monster look like? Has anyone seen it?" After hearing this, Fei Xiao raised her eyebrows, seeming to be interested.

"I've seen it before." Butler Liu looked Feixiao up and down and said, "So, that monster looks very similar to this young master! He also has a face like a crown jade, handsome and unparalleled, but he likes to wear Tsing Yi. He was smiling." Then he said, "It's a pity that such a good skin would do such a nasty thing."

Hearing his description, Fei Xiao leaned over and almost fell off the chair, while Wang Zijin spat out a mouthful of wine, and the two said in unison: "Qingling!"

Why didn't he rebuild the green bamboo village, and ran to this bustling city to find flowers and ask willows?

"You two know that evildoer?" Butler Liu's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

"I don't know!" Wang Zijin lied awe-inspiringly, "We are asking if the clothes he is wearing are made of blue silk?"

"Yes, I have never seen such a beautiful material in my whole life, like lake water, and the color of emerald." Finally, he asked softly, "I heard that there is a snake called Zhuyeqing, which is also green and pleasant. , Could it be the snake demon?"

"Don't jump to conclusions." When Fei Xiao heard that it was related to Qing Ling, she changed her enthusiasm and became as cold as ice.

Wang Zijin knew that they were all foxes, so how could they kill each other?It seems that no one can solve the dilemma of the lady of the Su family.

At this moment, a young servant went upstairs carrying a brocade-wrapped box. Steward Liu saw it, took it in a hurry, and lifted the lid of the box, only to see the precious light flowing inside, revealing a pair of crystal clear glass cups.

He held up the cup cherishingly, handed it to Fei Xiao and said, "My lord, please use it."

Wang Zijin saw that he was old, but he tried his best to please Fei Xiao, and he was worthless for him, but he saw Fei Xiao stretched out her hand to block the cup he handed out.

"Forgive me for not being able to intervene in this matter, old man, please go back." After finishing speaking, he left a table full of dishes and wine, and walked away.

"Hey, wait for me!" Wang Zijin hurriedly chased after him.

But Butler Liu grabbed him and asked, "He said he couldn't intervene, didn't he say he couldn't do what he could? Does Mr. Hu have the confidence to drive away the evildoers?"

"Steward Liu, what do you think? We are all mere scholars, how can we solve difficult problems even for Taoists?" He trotted all the way to catch up with Fei Hong after speaking.

Back at the inn, Fei Xiao had a gloomy face and said nothing, Wang Zijin knew that he was worried about Qing Ling, so he couldn't comfort her.

Until the night, Fei Xiao didn't say a word, just sat on the window sill with her knees hugged, the cold moonlight shone on his bloody white clothes, and her marble-like smooth and perfect cheeks flowed out of the dust like a fairy.

Seeing him so quiet, Wang Zijin had no choice but to close the door and go to rest first.

Thinking of Fei Xiao's figure, I couldn't help but feel sad. I thought he was a fox, sometimes cunning and greedy, sometimes full of enthusiasm, but I didn't expect that he would also have troubles.

The full moon outside the window was missing a corner, and he suddenly felt that life was just like this bright moon, unable to be complete, no matter whether human beings, ghosts or spirits, there would be troubles that could not be escaped.

That night he was sleeping deeply, but he heard the clear and pleasant flute sound outside the window.He put on his clothes and stood up, only to see Fei Xiao still sitting on the window sill with her knees bent, playing the green jade flute.

The sound of the flute is melodious and beautiful, echoing in the clear and silent night of Xijing.

Wang Zijin was enjoying himself, but he heard the low sound of the flute coming from nowhere.The sound of the flute is like sobbing, cruising and wandering, but no matter how clear and high-pitched the sound of the flute is, it can never overwhelm the sound of the flute.

When Wang Zijin heard the sound of the flute, he knew that Qing Ling was nearby. He just wanted to say some comforting words to persuade Fei Xiao, but he saw him put down the jade flute and jumped down from the window sill.

With a smile on his lips, his face was like a bright moon, no longer depressed, he smiled at Wang Zijin and said: "Zi Jin, it's getting late, let's rest."

"Hey? Are you okay?" Wang Zijin was about to inquire, but Fei Xiao had already closed the door.

He looked at Tianxin Mingyue depressedly, it was already midnight at this time, he just felt that he was extremely stupid, and he didn't know which string was wrong, and he wasted kindness on him.

At noon the next day, Feixiao told him an amazing news at the dinner table: "I asked Qingling, he loves that woman very much, and he doesn't want to give up."

"Then what are you going to do?" Wang Zijin's heart tightened suddenly, but he didn't know how the two exchanged so much after playing the instrument for a while.

"We discussed it. Since we have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why not come to a competition."

"What?" The tea bowl in Wang Zijin's hand almost fell to the ground, "You guys are going to hurt your peace because of a human woman?!"

Fei Xiao looked at him and smiled softly, "Zi Jin, maybe he can help you find a good marriage!"

"No, no, no!" Wang Zijin shook his head like a rattle, "I'd rather never get married than kill each other."

"I'm afraid it's too late now."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the waiter's voice from outside the door: "Young Master Hu, there are customers looking for you downstairs."

Wang Zijin immediately understood, grabbed Feixiao's sleeve and said, "Is it someone sent by General Su?"

Fei Xiao smiled and said nothing, she tidied up her clothes and was about to go out to meet guests, it seemed to be her default.

Looking at his handsome smiling face, Wang Zijin begged, "Fei Xiao, I never begged you to do anything..."

But Fei Xiao looked at him with a smile on her face, that smile was misty and far away, as if after last night, the Fei Xiao he knew had disappeared.

"This time, let me beg you, don't make Qing Ling an enemy, we will stay away from Xijing and never come back!"

"Zi Jin, monsters have different ways, if I don't care, what about Miss Su in the Mood for Love? What's wrong with her?" Fei Xiao shook her head with a smile, pushed his hand away, and walked out gracefully.

Wang Zijin followed him out of the room, only to see Fei Xiao chatting and laughing happily discussing something with Liu Butler, and there was a servant standing next to him holding a box and bowing his head.

Looking at the box painted with gold and phoenix, it seems to contain valuable gifts.

When the prince came to see Feixiao, dressed in white clothes like snow, he smiled sweetly. Everything was the same as usual, but there was a world of difference.The Fei Xiao he knew would not make enemies with friends just because of a few expensive gifts.

He sighed and went back to the room to pack up his things, ready to leave, he really didn't want to witness the tragedy of cannibalism.

As soon as he took out some clothes, the door was pushed open, only to see Fei Xiao walking in gracefully, and asked curiously: "Zi Jin, where are you going?"

"I want to go back to my hometown. After being away for a year, my mother must miss me very much." Wang Zijin replied with a serious face.

"It's not in a hurry to leave."

"You don't listen to me, I don't want to see you and Qing Ling killing each other, can't it?" Wang Zijin said angrily after hearing this.

"I've made an appointment with Qing Ling to fight tonight, and I need your help to have a chance of winning." After finishing speaking, he said sadly, "If you want me to lose and my life to die, then you can go, I'm afraid There will never be a chance to meet again in this life!"

Wang Zijin stared blankly at his picturesque facial features, and suddenly felt sad. Although he didn't want to see them fighting each other, he still didn't want Fei Xiao to be in any danger.

Thinking about everything the two of them have experienced together, he nodded slowly, "What can I do for you?"

At dusk that day, the Su Mansion sent a shiny black painted car to pick them up. The car was spacious and comfortable, filled with the fragrance of melons and fruits, but Wang Zijin was still angry and refused to speak.

"Zi Jin?" Fei Xiao tilted her head to tease him, as if coaxing a child.

"What are you doing?" Wang Zijin said angrily.

"Are you mad at me for profit, to fight with friends for small profits?"

"That's right, I never thought you would be such a person, my prince is blind and befriends you!" Although these words were angry, there was sadness in his tone.

"Zi Jin," Fei Xiao winked at him, leaned into his ear and said, "You have to trust me and don't doubt me at any time, okay?"

Wang Zijin only felt that there was something else in his words, and when he was about to ask again, he saw that the lights were suddenly brightly lit, and he had already arrived at General Su's mansion.

I saw a brightly lit mansion, which seemed to light up the night sky. A scent of incense that only existed in monasteries permeated the night wind. There was a faint sound of monks chanting sutras, as if this family was doing something.
