Chapter 219 Let’s see how the storm ends
The days of visiting relatives and friends passed by in a flash, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is soon to come.
The Lantern Festival has always been a festival that the ancients attached great importance to.
Life was difficult in the past, so people naturally had no mood to celebrate. But now that there is hope, people all want to be happy.
Therefore, the whole city was decorated with lights and various lanterns were hung in advance.
On the actual day, the streets are crowded with people, and people from all over the place come to join in the fun.
Since the narrow village built workshops in various places, they not only made money for themselves, but also helped the local people become rich.
Some teach people how to raise rabbits, some teach people how to shear wool, and some teach people how to knit sweaters... It can be said to be a one-stop service.
Of course, after the crops are harvested, they must be transported out and sold by the people in the narrow village.
In this way, a complete industrial chain will be formed, driving the local economy.
This matter had already spread throughout Chiling Pass. Chen Chunxing thought that old acquaintances would definitely come to join in the fun, but he waited and waited, and the first month of the year was almost over, and he still didn't see any old acquaintances come.
She guessed that there might be some unusual movement in the capital.
Therefore, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the underworld troops lay in ambush in the air, waiting for the "black rat" to come out by itself.
The more people there are, the more likely accidents are to happen. If Prince Li's Mansion wants to cause trouble, it will certainly not miss such a great opportunity.
When the people gathered at the food court to release Kongming lanterns, several arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness and shot them down one by one.
Seeing the candle flame fall to the ceiling, Xue Yongan was really not surprised at all. He just waved his hand, and immediately a yamen runner came out from a nearby house and poured a bucket of water on the flames.
The shadow assassin, dressed in black, was stunned.
Just as he was about to fire another arrow, a sinister voice came from behind him.
"You bastard, you're still excited!"
Suddenly, his neck was grabbed, and smoke was inhaled through his mouth and nose. Before he fainted, the assassin didn't understand whether this person was a human or a ghost? Why was there no sound at all?
"The things the Second Miss gave me are really useful..."
"Shh, don't dare let Doctor Chu hear this!"
"Otherwise, we'll be blamed for corrupting the child..."
A great war was averted into thin air.
Xue Yongan didn't even get the chance to attack, and the boy felt a little depressed.
This guy has no other problems, he just likes to twist his neck.
——
Assassins usually commit suicide as soon as they are caught. Unfortunately, this method does not work in Honglu County.
Because after they died, they still faced the same group of burly men...
In order to avoid being reborn as a prostitute in their next life, the assassins recruited quickly this time.
He even reported the matter to Prince Li's mansion and handed over all the evidence of his crimes that he had secretly accumulated over the years.
"I thought you were so tough, but now you've left yourself a trick up your sleeve."
The underworld army scoffed at his character.
"It's all for my family... If I hadn't been more careful, would I have survived until you caught me? Twice!"
The assassins cried without making any sound!
The information was quickly delivered to Xue Yongan. After reading it, he handed the letter to Chen Chunxing.
"The old emperor is dead. No wonder I haven't seen Captain Wei Qian and Guard Yang."
Chen Chunxing was peeling a tea egg. He was not too shocked when he heard it. He just slammed it on the table.
"The destiny has been broken. These people must have buried their blood and bones in the Boundary Mountains. Now we just have to wait and see who can continue the mission."
Xue Yongan gazed towards the east. Through the window and the lights all over the city, he could faintly see the shadow of a blue dragon roaring towards the sky.
"According to you, the royal family will win?"
"How refreshing! Have you forgotten that Prince Li is also a member of the royal family?"
Xue Yongan laughed.
No matter which side wins in the capital, the throne will still belong to the Xia Yuan Dynasty.
"But I still think that Prince Li has little chance."
Chen Chunxing took a bite of the tea egg with one hand, took out the jade talisman from his bosom with the other hand, and tossed it.
Suddenly I felt interested.
"Guess what this thing is made of?"
Jade talisman, jade talisman, if it’s not jade, what else could it be?
Xue Yongan stared for a long time and shook his head honestly: "I won't guess, lest you think I'm stupid."
Chen Chunxing first laughed twice, and the curve of his lips gradually softened, bringing out a coldness in an instant.
"I guess it's made of white jade cut from the dragon vein."
The dragon veins stabilize the country's destiny.
Many years ago, when Xia Yuanchao was about to die, someone cut off his flesh, made it into jade talismans, and gave them to all those who were blessed with great fortune in the world.
He tried to extend Xia Yuan's life by using all living beings!
"But I can't understand how great the fortune must be for that person to take such a gamble..."
Chen Chunxing shook his head, feeling both disdain and admiration.
"But he really did it, didn't he?" Xue Yongan wondered.
"It depends on who ascends the throne..." Chen Chunxing also looked towards the east.
Not everyone can bear the fate of fate. Those who kill innocent children for their own selfish desires and treat the lives of ordinary people as worthless will probably not have that opportunity.
Even if he is given that position, he won't be able to sit there steadily.
You must know that in addition to Xiayuan Kingdom, this land also includes Nanjin and the grassland...
Chen Chunxing suddenly thought of someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
When the child named Yao Asi met He Liangpu in the mountains, he was eager to exchange the jade talisman from her.
She didn't know the reason at that time, but now she has figured it out.
There are too many people who want Xia Yuanchao to disappear.
"There seem to be more refugees arriving lately? Don't bother selecting them. Incorporate them all into the city defense forces and let your brothers train them well... Yeah, send those two involved in pyramid schemes over too. We still need to focus on ideological education."
The world is in chaos. To protect ourselves, we should find ways to meet challenges head-on.
In his previous life, Xue Yongan was stationed at the border by imperial order. In this life, for Chen Chunxing, he is willing to guard it again.
At this moment, balls of bright light suddenly burst out in the sky.
The two walked out and were dazzled by the fireworks.
Even if we can't build cannons, we can always make some entertainment facilities. Before leaving, Old Song handed over all his experience materials to the new guy.
I heard that person was studying materials science at the University of Science and Technology of China.
If there wasn't only one year left, everyone would be afraid that he would do something terrible.
"Big sister, big sister, big sister..." Chen Yandong ran out from the backyard panting, "This is terrible! My second sister was so scared by the sound of firecrackers that she can talk!"
"This is obviously a good thing, look at how surprised you are!" Diao chased after him with excitement on her face.
The old lady was not as calm as she said.
"What will they say?" Chen Chunxing asked casually with a smile.
She wasn't surprised.
Zhixia originally had a heart disease caused by her childhood experiences, coupled with the toxins in her body. Now with the help of Doctor Chu, she will return to normal sooner or later.
Everybody come over here.
Yang Yi held Ajiu's hand. Ajiu looked at Shen Zhixia, who was blushing so much, and answered for her: "Second sister shouted, 'Fuck!'"
“…”
“???”
Chen Chunxing, with a frown on his face, picked up the broom and ran after the children.
"Tell me the truth, who led my precious Zhixia astray?"
The children didn't dare to answer, nor did they have the time to answer. They all ran around excitedly.
After they were tired of playing, Diao brought out the dumplings and invited everyone to eat.
When they reached the bright place, Chen Chunxing accidentally glanced at Ajiu's fair and tender little face and was suddenly stunned.
She seemed to know who won in the end...
