It is normal to encounter ruffians in the Lantern Festival, there are many ruffians in Chang'an, and the Shangyuan Festival is also the time when they are the most active, and they generally gather in groups, looking for prey.

They did not dare to snatch a beautiful woman when they saw it, as the Uighur soldiers or the children of the powerful did, but they would harass, like a swarm of flies buzzing around their prey, and using their hands and feet, or flirting with foul language, so that the young women would stay away when they saw them.

These scoundrels are also very eye-catching, generally the women of wealthy families have guards before and after protection, they dare not provoke, at most they will make a judgment, but if it is a small jasper of ordinary people, there is no guard around, that is their prey, if they don't tease hard, they will not stop.

While walking, this group of scoundrels looked around looking for the beautiful little lady, Xue Tao was a little afraid of them, and hurriedly wanted to hide behind Guo Song, but Guo Song grabbed her, shook his head and smiled: "With me here, you don't have to be afraid!" ”

"Yo! There are fairies! Four or five scoundrels saw Xue Tao at the same time and immediately exclaimed.

The people around them all sighed secretly, this little lady is going to suffer.

Xue Tao is indeed too beautiful, and all the young women around her are ashamed of themselves in front of her, she is like a fairy who has escaped from the world, holding a lantern and quietly falling into the world.

"Let's go!" Guo Song grabbed Xue Tao and left.

"Little lady, how can you leave without chatting?"

"Brother, I know the wind and snow best, little lady, let's play together."

"The man next to him, hurry up and get out of the way!"

Seven or eight scoundrels gathered around together, and one of the scoundrels walked up quickly, stretched out his hand to pull Xue Tao's long skirt, and said in a daze: "I'll put on the skirt for the little lady!" ”

But as soon as his hand was stretched out, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and one hand fell to the ground, and the scoundrel screamed in pain, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

The other scoundrels were frightened and dodged away, "What's wrong?" ”

"My hands! Oh my hands! The scoundrel shouted in terror.

The two scoundrels with a strong body were furious, pulled out the daggers at their waists and rushed forward and shouted: "Friend, do you want to leave if you hurt someone?" ”

They swung their daggers and threw themselves at Guo Song.

Before they could get closer, the two of them suddenly fell backwards at the same time, and when they fell to the ground, they had already turned into two corpses, and their throats were precisely slashed by the black sword.

The surrounding people screamed and dodged away, Guo Song pulled Xue Tao into the crowd, and soon disappeared.

A group of scoundrels stood there with fright, clay sculptures, the severed hands fainted, two bodies lying on their backs, blood pouring from their necks, eyes staring blankly at the sky.

The people around were surrounded by water, pointing and pointing, and many people secretly screamed that these scoundrels had finally kicked the iron plate.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

A group of Jinwuwei soldiers squeezed in, and the leader of the group was asking, "What happened?" ”

A scoundrel sifted through chaff and said, "We.... Some of us were killed. ”

"Team Zheng, these two people are dead, and they are both killed with one sword!" The soldiers stepped forward to look at the dead man.

The team was gasping for air, the blade had just slit his throat, and there was nothing superfluous, and the killing technique sent chills down his back.

"Where are the murderers?" He asked, feigning composure.

The scoundrel pointed in a northwest direction, "Go that way!" ”

"Good! Let's chase, you quickly carry the body away, and the injured person for treatment, don't delay! ”

The team shouted, and then chased after the soldiers, and the soldiers were all extremely slippery, fooling these scoundrels, and they didn't even ask whether the murderer was a man or a woman, and what he looked like, so they ran to chase, who to chase?

Several scoundrels looked at each other, had to sigh, carrying the bodies of their companions and the wounded and left in panic, and soon, the lantern festival in the East Market returned to normal, and the blood stains were gradually trampled on, and there was another headless public case in the East Market.

.........

Guo Song grabbed Xue Tao, who had already left Dongshi, and walked along Chunming Avenue towards Suzaku Street.

Xue Tao left in a panic, didn't even look back, she didn't know what happened behind her, she saw that the scoundrel didn't chase after her, and asked in shock: "Guo Lang, what happened?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly, "I punished them with a little heavy hand, kicked and injured one person, and the other two were knocked unconscious by me." ”

"Does it matter if they want it?" Xue Tao asked a little worriedly, she didn't doubt her lover's words, in fact, she didn't see Guo Song come out of the sword, and few people saw it at that time.

"It doesn't matter, I'm already merciful!"

Guo Song didn't kill them all, and it was indeed his subordinates who showed mercy.

"A little unpleasant, don't affect the mood, let's go to Suzaku Street." Guo Song hugged her waist and smiled.

"Hmm!"

Xue Tao nodded lightly, snuggled in the arms of the lover, and with the lover by her side, she had an unprecedented sense of security.

There are also lanterns on Chunmingmen Street, but it is not as dense as the East Market, it is a little sparse, and the street is relatively dark, although there are many tourists, but they only pass through Chunmingmen Street, all of them are in a hurry, and they rush to Suzaku Street.

The lamp tree in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate has been lit, up to ten zhang, dazzling, the light shines incomparably, the whole Chang'an can see it, it has a unique magic, so that everyone is obsessed with it, tens of thousands of people around it, everyone looks up their heads, obsessively looking at it, as if that is the legendary fairy land.

There is still a mile away from Suzaku Street, Guo Song and Xue Tao stopped, Guo Song hugged her slender waist and hugged her in his arms, Xue Tao leaned on Ailang's shoulder, looking at the glorious lamp tree in a daze, for a long time, she sighed lowly, "It's so beautiful!" ”

Guo Song was also amazed by the generosity of the Tang people, this spectacular scene, this kind of beautiful lamp tree, will not appear again in later generations, only the majestic Tang Dynasty will have, Guo Song's heart fluctuated, and there was an indescribable sense of heroism surging in his heart.

After a long time, a bone-chilling sound came from Xue Tao's stomach, Xue Tao was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he turned around and beat Guo Song's chest with a small pink fist, "You are not allowed to laugh at others!" ”

Guo Song smiled, a louder sound came from his stomach, and Xue Tao suddenly burst into laughter, "Guo Lang, didn't you eat dinner either?" ”

"I'm in a hurry to see you, where can I take care of eating!"

"Shall we go get something to eat?"

"There is still something to eat at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival?"

"Why not, you come with me!"

Xue Tao pulled Guo Song and ran to the south, they entered the Kaihua Workshop, only to see that the street in the workshop was full of all kinds of stalls, selling all kinds of gadgets, of course, the most stalls selling food, each stall had a lantern, and the square was also crowded.

"What's going on here......." Guo Song didn't know what to say, it was too unexpected for him.

"Looks like you haven't visited the lanterns."

Xue Tao said triumphantly: "This is the Shangyuan Night Market, there are four places in Chang'an, Pingkangfang in the East City, Yanshoufang in the West City, and here, Kaihuafang in the north of Zhuque Street and Baoning Fang in the south, do you think Shangyuan Night is to see the lights?" ”

"What's good here?"

A burst of fragrance came to his nose, so that Guo Song couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he suddenly felt hungry.

"Come with me, there's something you want to like."

Xue Tao pulled Guo Song to run, and came to a snack stall for a while, there were many people here, and almost every seat was full.

Just two people got up and left, Guo Song's eyes were fast, and he sat down at once, and the other people took a step slower, so they had to leave in a huff.

Xue Tao gave Ai Lang a thumbs up with a smile, praising him for his quick movements, she sat down in the seat next to her, and the guy stepped forward to clean up the plates on the table, and reminded them with a smile: "The small shop has to queue up, there are too many people, at least half an hour." ”

"How much money did you bring?" Xue Tao asked in a low voice.

Guo Song patted his waist, "With more than a hundred taels of silver, and thirty taels of gold, is it enough?" ”

Xue Tao glanced at him and smiled at the guy: "This master has a lot of money, come with a nine products, and add a bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge!" ”

"Refreshing!"

The guy gave a thumbs up and praised, and shouted loudly: "Tonight's first nine products, serve, add a bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge!" ”

"What the hell is eating here?" Guo Song was confused.

"This is actually a stall in Chang'an Fu'an Restaurant, haven't you been to Fu'an Restaurant?"

Guo Song shook his head, he usually goes to the top ten restaurants in Chang'an, which provide Meishou wine, and he rarely goes to other restaurants.

Xue Tao explained to him with a smile: "Fu'an Restaurant is mainly barbecue, a total of nine kinds of meat, all of which are the best, you eat nine products, that is, one plate of each, and the average person eats eight products at most, because the ninth product is the most expensive, authentic Tongzhou bitter spring sheep, only Fu'an Restaurant sells it, and a plate costs ten yuan." ”

"Sounds good, how long will it take?" Guo Song was a little hungry and it was a little difficult to wait.

"You ordered Jiupin, then you don't have to wait, come right away, this is the privilege of Jiupin, their family has to queue up, you look back."

Guo Song glanced back, and was immediately startled, the line in the back row was at least more than 200 meters, and there was no tail in sight.

Guo Song suddenly understood, this was Xue Tao's understanding of the hunger in his belly! I found a snack shop that didn't have to wait in line.

After a while, the guy brought a large plate up, he put a plate of barbecue in front of Guo Song, and put a bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge in front of Xue Tao, and specially explained: "This bowl and porcelain spoon are the cleanest, I haven't used it tonight, girl, please rest assured to eat!" ”

There is indeed an advantage to being pretty, and the guy specially brought her the cleanest bowl, for fear that the greasy dishes and chopsticks would desecrate this fairy-like beauty.

"Thank you!" Xue Tao thanked him sweetly.

Guo Song couldn't help but ask, "Can my dishes and chopsticks be clean?" ”

The guy rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, this is Shangyuan Night Market, it's not so particular, you old man can eat it!" Don't pay so much attention to an old man. ”

Xue Tao covered his mouth and laughed wildly.

Guo Song was depressed, he simply didn't use the dishes and chopsticks, and ate the meat with his hands.
