The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 64 Shangyuan Lantern Festival
The banquet was just halfway through when Ling Buyi arrived late and apologized to Emperor Wen in a familiar manner.

In response, Emperor Wen simply said a few words and allowed him to sit down and eat.

Since Ling Buyi has always been a taciturn and cold person, the second half of the conversation was between Emperor Wen and Xi Mingzhang.

During this period, Emperor Wen looked at Ling Buyi from time to time and asked people to add more wine and food to his bowl. He was extremely caring towards Ling Buyi. I'm afraid that the crown prince and other princes under his lordship did not receive such treatment.

Xi Mingzhang was familiar with the original plot line. This man in front of him seemed to be in a very glorious position. He had become a powerful official at a young age, commanded the Black Armor Guards, was undefeated in battles, and was also the emperor's beloved adopted son. He was considered the son of destiny in this era.

Of course, he also has a tragic experience that is well-received. He has a deep blood feud and has been secretly preparing for revenge over the years.

Of course, he didn't care about any of this, he just thought it was too slow. When it came to revenge, there was no need for evidence. Wouldn't it be great if all the suspects could be killed?

Anyway, given his relationship with Emperor Wen, he would not end up dead. As long as he was not too blatant and used some methods like poisoning, he could probably get rid of all his enemies without any harm to himself.

After the banquet, Ling Buyi stayed in the palace as a matter of course, while Xi Mingzhang, led by a eunuch, went to his own residence in the capital.

In the front hall of the mansion, a middle-aged housekeeper led the maids and servants to kneel to welcome the new master.

"I never like others kneeling before me. From now on, you just need to bow." Xi Mingzhang smiled faintly:
"I think you all know the other rules, so I won't go into details."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but look up, with astonishment on their faces. You know, the name of the Ghost-faced Rakshasa not only frightened the enemy troops, but also made many people who didn't know the truth think that this was a hideous and ferocious existence that was difficult to deal with.

Now, she suddenly realized that he was a very handsome man, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared without a trace.

"Master, I have already asked someone to boil water. You can go take a bath now to relieve your fatigue."

When Xiang's wife saw Xi Mingzhang nodded, she immediately led several pretty maids to lead the way.

inside the house.

Xi Mingzhang only let the maid take off his armor, then let her leave and took a bath alone.

After bathing, she put on her inner garment, top, trousers, belt, outer robe and long boots in order, then faced the bronze mirror, tied her hair with a jade hairpin and walked out of the room.

When the few people who stayed outside heard the sound of the door opening, they looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw Xi Mingzhang, who was wearing a sky blue straight-hem robe and had a tall and handsome figure like a bamboo, they could not help but stay where they were.

Seeing this, Xi Mingzhang remained silent and thought:
"Is it because the demon species is so powerful that Han Bai, who is so powerful, has so many wives and concubines, or is there really something wrong with the world I live in? Why are people so sentimental?"

Xiang Guanfu came to her senses immediately and said:
"Master, there will naturally be someone to help you with such trivial matters as dressing and shoes. How can I trouble you to do it yourself?"

"I have a mysophobia." Seeing that she didn't understand, Xi Mingzhang added, "I never like others to get too close to me."

"So that's how it is." Xiang Guanfu's eyes fixed, and she immediately said:
"Master, you don't have any jade on your waist yet. When His Majesty gave you this mansion, he also gave you a lot of wealth and jade."

As she spoke, she asked the maid beside her to get the jade. Xi Mingzhang did not say anything. He asked Xiang Guanfu to take him to the study and introduced the situation of the mansion.

A month later.

Lantern Festival.

Now was a peaceful time with no wars around, and to celebrate the festival, Emperor Wen postponed the curfew by two hours and cleared a long and wide street to be used as a venue for the Lantern Festival for his subjects to enjoy.

"Shen An, you said you don't want to accompany your wife to the lantern festival, why are you talking to me?" Xi Mingzhang, wearing a black sheepskin coat, strolled casually on the bustling street.

"I just happened to run into the general, so I came over to say hello, but I couldn't bear to see him alone."

Before he could finish his words, Xi Mingzhang interrupted him lightly: "I'll count to three. If you continue to act cute and annoying in front of me, you will go back home lying down tonight."

"Uh" Shen An looked around hurriedly, then said quickly:
"My wife seems to be calling me, so I won't disturb you and will take my leave."

After saying that, he walked away quickly, his figure gradually disappearing in the crowd.

Xi Mingzhang walked slowly to the market and unknowingly came to a stall selling malt candy. His eyes were slightly stunned.

"Young Master, Young Master." The vendor saw the handsome young man in front of him who was either rich or noble, and hurriedly called out:

"But you want to buy some caramel?"

Before Xi Mingzhang could speak, a pretty young girl with white teeth and bright eyes came over. She was wearing a red Shu brocade and a pure white fox fur coat. At first glance, she did not look gentle and demure.

Then, he took out a string of copper coins very neatly and said with a happy smile:
"Give me a bag of caramel."

At this moment, she heard a question faintly:
"My lady, do you know what first come first served means?"

She was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative and said:
"Well, I see you've been standing here for quite a while without buying anything, so..."

Xi Mingzhang simply ignored it and walked past her to go somewhere else, which instantly made the little girl frown slightly and curl her lips.

Not far away, several ladies in luxurious attire saw this scene, their pretty faces filled with secret joy.

God bless you! Who would have thought that I would actually run into such a handsome young man while visiting the temple fair. However, when I took the initiative to talk to him, I was turned away. So I thought that the girl was trying to use this clumsy little trick to attract his attention.

Xi Mingzhang walked on the street, with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.

This is just like the courage and initiative of the women in the Han Dynasty. She didn't expect that when she went to the lantern festival, she would coincidentally meet Cheng Shaoshang, the beautiful and bright girl, who was considered a woman of luck.

He went out tonight only because it was the Lantern Festival and he had a little bit of nostalgia in his heart. It was on this day that he was separated from his younger sister, and it was also on this day that he took revenge.

At the same time, the main purpose is to find out how much source energy can be obtained by distorting and modifying the plot line in the main world.

Tian Shuo, the owner of the famous Tian's Restaurant in the capital, was the eunuch of Emperor Li and had been wanting to take revenge on Emperor Wen for many years.

So, he used the restaurant as a cover to make friends with the powerful and influential, and then stirred up discord between them and Emperor Wen, hoping to get these people to rebel.

Tonight, Ling Buyi finds clues that Prince Yong's son is reselling military equipment, which happens to be related to Tian Shuo. Then the scene of Tian's restaurant suddenly burning down will appear.

Xi Mingzhang slowly came to the outside of Tian's Restaurant and saw that people were guessing riddles here, it was very lively.

He went straight into the house, found a secluded corner to sit down, and asked the waiter to bring a pot of Qianlizui, a drink from Tianjia Restaurant that was famous throughout the capital.

Tea time.

Xi Mingzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had sensed something, and filled his glass with wine. After he finished the glass, he suddenly shouted in panic:

"Oh no! There's a fire. The lanterns at the Tian's Restaurant are on fire."

The guests in the restaurant suddenly smelled thick smoke and the fierceness of the fire was astonishing. In an instant, the whole restaurant seemed to be engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, and everyone hurriedly ran out.

Only Xi Mingzhang remained calm and composed. He shook his head slightly and whispered:
"This lantern is truly extraordinary. In about five or six breaths, it can completely burn down a multi-story restaurant."
