Chapter 953
In the wing room, the huge food box was opened, and all kinds of exquisite dishes were served on the table.

A clear water charcoal pot is placed in the middle, but instead of mutton, they eat fish.

"You guys have a taste of this. I specially came here to see the good things. It was originally for my father, but I cut off all the beards."

Xu Fan pointed to the sliced ​​sashimi on the plate. The size and thickness of each slice was just right.

But Li Bo took a closer look and thought to himself: "Isn't this grass carp? Boiled grass carp?? This country's uncle has never eaten any good pork?"

In fact, Xu Tong didn't understand that the smell of grass carp is very strong, and it can't suppress the smell without adding some spices, let alone boiled in clear water.

But seeing Xu Fan's enthusiastic face, Xu Tong couldn't refuse. He tried to put a piece in his mouth, and his expression suddenly became weird.

Not only does this fish have no fishy smell, it tastes extraordinarily sweet, and most importantly, it has a crunchy texture that makes Xu Tong wonder if he is eating fish.

It was indeed the first time I had eaten such a delicious fish, so I immediately signaled Li Bo, a fool, not to be stunned, to eat it quickly.

Li Bo didn't believe it at first, but after taking a bite, he realized that the taste was so delicious. The smooth, tender and crunchy texture completely overturned his perception of fish.

Seeing that everyone was eating from ear to ear, Xu Fancai explained with a smile: "This fish is specially fed. It is fed with broad beans from the beginning to grow up. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the taste of a fish becomes crisp and tender. Teeth, paired with this special sauce, it can be said to be the best of all fish!"

This fish has been fed for a year, and the food is more expensive than human beings, so the taste is naturally unique.

The crowd was eating and drinking, and before they knew it, it was the third watch.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this time, outside the window, the bells of Lingyin Temple could be heard, and the bells rang throughout the entire Lin'an Mansion. As far as the eye could see, the lights of every house were always on, just like daytime.

The theory of keeping the year old has existed as early as the Jin Dynasty. The custom of keeping the year old is also known as "boiling the year", which is the custom of not sleeping on the last night of the old year and staying up late to welcome the arrival of the new year.

A poet wrote a poem for this, "every family who watches the year should not lie down, and lovesickness will bring the soul of dreams."

Su Shi also wrote a poem: "Sitting for a long time, the lamp is embers falling, and when you look up, you can see the Big Dipper tilting."

It is only this day throughout the year, there will be no curfew, not only will there be no curfew, but the common people will have carnivals outside, with lantern festivals and singing festivals.

Even some rich and powerful families waited in line outside the gate of Lingyin Temple early on, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to burn the first stick of incense this year.

It sounds very romantic and lively, but in fact...it's not. The big family can't wait for the lights to be brightly lit and the traffic in front of the door to be very lively.

But the ordinary people are guarding a dry lamp, curled up by the bonfire.

As Xu Yunuo wrote: "It's like staying up all night to watch the new year. We are cold and hungry, and we are about to prepare some hot water to drink. Suddenly, the county magistrate came again and forced us to go to the city..."

"squeak……"

A firework flew into the sky of the imperial city, followed by a bang, and the whole sky exploded.

Then there was the sound of crackling firecrackers and countless deafening fireworks.

Xu Tong didn't see Tiannv, so he signaled for Xu Fan and Li Bo to eat and drink first, then got up and walked outside the yard, looked up, and saw Tiannv sitting on the roof alone.

"Don't stay on the roof, come down!"

Seeing this, Xu Tong jumped onto the roof, stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl into his hand: "Let's go, let's go down and eat delicious food."

The goddess shook her head and shook the candied haws in her hand: "I don't like to eat those things. I haven't seen these fireworks for a long time. Why don't you just sit here and watch the fireworks, and..."

Speaking of this, the goddess looked towards the north of the city: "There are people fighting over there, and I can see that it is very lively."

"fight??"

Xu Tong was taken aback, what is this big Chinese New Year fight?I'm afraid it's not a few drunks who are drunk and playing crazy.

But after thinking about it, Tiannv's aesthetics didn't seem to be that bad. She followed the direction Tiannv was pointing at, opened her eyes, and Xu Tong's expression suddenly became serious.

That is not a fight, but a chase!

"Five enlightened masters, one more person will be hunted down!"

Xu Tong frowned, this New Year's Eve didn't make people stop, after thinking for a while, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and after signaling to the goddess to wait for him here, he changed into a night clothes and followed him quietly.

"Shhhhh..."

A figure was galloping, and in an instant it was running a thousand meters away in the jungle. Its movement method not only implied the method of shrinking the sky and man into an inch, but also implied the five elements and eight trigrams. The shadow passed without a trace, not even leaving a footprint on the snow, making it elusive.

But there were five other people behind this person, they followed behind unhurriedly, they were not in a hurry to make a move, but they refused to let this person go.

It took only a stick of incense before and after, and the group of people had already rushed out of Lin'an Mansion and came to a wilderness.

At this time, the figure running in front suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and glared at the five people behind him: "Several, you have to forgive others and forgive others. It is convenient for others and convenient for you. Why bother to force yourself so hard."

The five people stopped and showed their figures in the darkness, but they saw each of them hiding with masks and holding short knives.

Faced with these words, they remained silent, just looked at each other and drew their swords in unison.

The five of them shot swiftly, thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps!In the blink of an eye, there was a piercing sword aura, a cold aura, and an overwhelming murderous aura.

It seemed to be a piece of silver light like an electric python, mixed with tornado-like air currents, and the killing intent of the mountain.It was coming so fast that there was no way to dodge it.

"What a domineering sword technique!"

At this moment, Xu Tong came to the distance quietly and silently. Seeing that the five people were so domineering when they made a move, he couldn't help being a little surprised in his heart.

Seeing that the five were leaving no room for anything, the middle-aged man was also furious. He pulled out the soft sword at his waist, and instead of retreating in front of the five top experts, he took the initiative to go forward. The sword energy met the sword light.

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, the sound of swords colliding suddenly exploded, and the six of them fought hundreds of swords in an instant.

I saw that the middle-aged man was one against five, but he did not lose the wind in the slightest.The afterimage of the sword light in his hand circled long and large sword curtains, and the sword energy exploded, resisting all the sword light attacking in front of him, but the five of them became more and more courageous as they fought, and the sword in their hands became stronger and stronger The more ferocious!The long sword in the hands of the middle-aged people has a tendency to be irrepressible.

"The victory is divided!"

Seeing this, Xu Tong shook his head regretfully, although the middle-aged man's swordsmanship is sharp and unique, if one is against three, there is a [-]% chance of winning.

But with one against five, there is no way to recover.

Xu Tong reckoned that if he didn't need a cup of tea at most, this person would definitely die.

The middle-aged man also seemed to be aware of his situation. With a loud roar, he tried his best to be severely injured by the three knives. With a turn of the sword in his hand, the shadow of the sword suddenly struck violently like a wolf and a bear, and hit the front of him hard. On the blade of one person.

"Boom!"

There was a huge explosion, suppressed by a huge force, and directly cut a huge gap with the dagger in the opponent's hand.

As soon as the sword was broken, the sword turned again, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing, he cut off the wrist holding the sword with a puff.

Then with a flick of a finger, three talismans emerged, turning into thousands of golden rains, and suddenly turned this person into a hornet's nest.

His body fell heavily to the ground, and he couldn't breathe anymore.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly saw a dark red jade tablet in the arms of the corpse, and his expression changed immediately, he was so shocked that he could not speak; people!"

For a while, the middle-aged man's face flickered, and that sentence suddenly came to mind.

"Ai Qing, Si Tianjian has a special nature, I can't directly reward you with an official position, but don't worry, I won't treat your Shen family badly."

When I first heard this sentence, it was heart-warming, but when I think about it now, it is like drinking ice.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man let out a miserable smile, and forced the four people in front of him back with a sword, and let out a hoarse laugh.

"Hahahaha..." The laughter was full of desolation and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the emperor wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die. Shen Kuo is here to thank the emperor for his kindness and wish you a long life!"

After speaking, he looked at the four people beside him coldly: "Since it is the emperor's favor, when will it be your turn to show your teeth and claws!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Kuo swung the long sword in his hand across, the edge of the sword lightly slashed across, and a wisp of hot blood splashed down along the blade.

Seeing this, the four people looked at each other, put away the dagger in their hands, walked to the corpse, confirmed that Shen Kuo was dead, bowed their hands to the corpse, raised their hands and threw a bottle on the corpse.

The bottle burst open suddenly and a burst of flames gushed out, quickly engulfing the corpse.

After that, the four of them carried the corpse of their companion and retreated quickly.

After a while, there was only a burning corpse left in the field. Under the sway of the fire, a figure came quietly, stretched out his hand, and saw the surrounding void change, and a crack was torn open out of thin air, revealing a ghost like a ghost. hellish world.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of hands stretched out, grabbed the corpse, grabbed a cloud of ghosts, and dragged it into it.

"Treat each other well, don't be negligent."

Xu Tong said something to the ghost behind the crack, and the truth disappeared. This person was obviously an important official, but the emperor wanted to kill him to silence him, probably because he knew something important.

I put away his soul for the time being, and wait for the weather to calm down, and then call him to ask what happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Tong didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear of being noticed by others, only to see his figure flicker, and then quietly disappear into the wilderness.

In less than a stick of incense, the person had already turned back to the mansion, sent the goddess back to the room to rest, and then continued to drink with Xu Fan and others. The whole process was unknown to anyone.

It wasn't until early the next morning, when Xu Tong and others woke up from the bed, that they heard the report from the mansion's servants, saying that the imperial city was flooded last night, and several officials of the Sitianjian were all killed...
