Under the watchful eyes of the public, Xie Qingyao still couldn't openly put her ideas into practice.
She thought for a moment, took He Zheng's arm, and walked into the alley on the side of the street.
He Zheng thought she wanted to say something, and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
He leaned forward slightly and listened to her whisper.
Little did he know that Xie Qingyao suddenly reached out and hugged his neck, then stood on tiptoe and gave He Zheng a light kiss on the cheek.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it only takes a brief taste.
He Zheng raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes swept across Xie Qingyao's lips, "Yaoyao actually wants to do this."
Xie Qingyao looked at him for two seconds, and suddenly revealed a triumphant smile.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
At this moment, a clear and soft child's voice suddenly came from behind.
Xie Qingyao: "..."
She paused, turned around, and saw Xie Junyu and Xie Youer.
Both of them were holding tiger lanterns in their hands, blinking their clear and innocent big eyes at her and He Zheng.
Xie Qingyao didn't answer. Instead, she stretched out her hand and hooked He Zheng, saying, "Come here, reward them."
The shout was very powerful.
“…” He Zheng glanced at her.
There was no one else here except him, yet Xie Qingyao acted like she had many servants with her.
The little girl loves to play, so what can we do? We can only indulge her.
After a while, He Zheng took out a handful of golden beans and gave them to the two children, moving his lips: "Reward."
After Xie Qingyao did this, Xie Junyu and Xie Youer didn't even think of asking them what they were doing. They just happily held the golden beans and giggled.
"Brother Yu, You'er, why don't you thank your uncle quickly?" Xie Qingyao said.
To be honest, Xie Junyu was a little afraid of He Zheng. This man was so tall and majestic, intimidating even without anger, more majestic than his great-grandfather.
But he gave them the bounty beans, so he must be a good person.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Seeing her brother calling her like that, Xie You'er was no longer shy and blushed as she said softly, "Thank you, uncle."
Xie Qingyao patted their heads and said, "Let's go play."
The two children ran into the crowd laughing again.
They are all members of the Xie family, so there is no need to worry about the children getting lost.
Seeing that Xie Junyu and Xie Youer actually had golden beans, the other children of the Xie family cried with envy and clamored to have golden beans too. The adults were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When guessing lantern riddles, He Zheng guessed them all correctly. In just a cup of tea, Xie Qingyao had all the spoils in her hands.
She was carrying more than twenty lanterns and her hands felt a little sore, so she simply shared them with Zhitao Chulu and the others.
Zhitao smacked her lips and said, "Could it be that the Marquis has solved all the riddles on the entire street?"
Xie Qingyao: "That's not the case. There are at least a hundred riddles on the whole street, and he only solved twenty-three."
talent……
Xi Feng shook his head. It was not easy to solve a riddle. This was the Xie family's Lantern Festival. Every riddle made by the Xie family's literati was very difficult.
The adult solved more than twenty riddles in one breath, and even the stall owner was scared.
Some even went to inquire about the identity of the person who solved the mystery and learned that it was actually the Marquis of Anguo.
Everyone immediately understood, oh, it was Marquis Anguo, no wonder.
After all, Marquis Anguo gave up military service to pursue literature and became the top scholar in the imperial examination. He was a man of both civil and military talents, brilliant and extraordinary.
Xie Qingyao and He Zheng also watched the lanterns on the river. When they were tired, they went to the second floor of the teahouse to rest and drink tea.
Xie Qingyao shook the teacup in her hand and looked at the people coming and going on the long street downstairs, with laughter and joy everywhere.
She asked slowly, "When will we return to Shangjing?"
There is always a time to complete the mission ordered by the emperor, and she has always known how busy He Zheng is, so they cannot stay in Runan for long.
He Zheng: "Five days later."
There are still five days left, and Xie Qingyao can still get along with the Xie family.
Xi Feng curled the corners of his lips and became a saw-mouthed gourd again.
His Majesty was already urging him to do so, but he was still not in a hurry and set off for the capital five days later.
As expected, the master couldn't bear to see his wife sad.
"This cloud cake is good." Xie Qingyao ate it and handed a piece to He Zheng.
But He Zheng's eyes fixed, and before she could react, he suddenly moved.
"Go to hell!" The man behind him stabbed Xie Qingyao with a dagger.
He was extremely fast and without warning.
"Madam!" Xi Feng screamed and came over.
The assassin thought it was foolproof and was overjoyed. The next moment, the dagger in his hand could no longer move forward.
It was only a fist away from Xie Qingyao.
Just a little further and he would have stabbed her to death.
The assassin's wrist was grabbed by He Zheng, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
“Crack!”
He Zheng directly twisted the assassin's wrist, his eyes devoid of warmth, "If you touch her, you deserve to die."
There was a suffocating danger in the air.
"Ahhhh——" The assassin collapsed and howled, the pain making his face distorted and hideous.
His wrist hung down in a strange arc.
The man in front of him had eyes as dark as ink, and his whole body was filled with rage, which made people tremble with fear and their hair stand on end.
Realizing that the adult was angry, Xi Feng did not dare to get close easily. He just silently protected Xie Qingyao and let her stand behind him.
A cold sneer.
He Zheng released the assassin's wrist before the assassin could even breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, He Zheng grabbed his neck with astonishing force.
The assassin's eyes widened, his breathing became difficult, and he was almost suffocating.
“Hehe——”
"put……"
I saw that the veins on the back of the hand were bulging, and it was extremely powerful. It seemed that the assassin's neck would be broken with just a slight force.
Xi Feng quickly reminded him, "Sir, he is still useful. We haven't interrogated him yet to find out who is behind this."
Although you can find it without checking, it will be faster if you check it.
