Chapter 94

After five bowls of wine, Xue Yi already felt his face was burning.


Ming Xiang tugged at her sleeve, watching Xue Yi pick up another bowl of wine with tears in her eyes.


"Princess, princess, stop drinking."


The strong wine scorched the throat, the sixth bowl of peach blossoms was intoxicating, as if two clusters of red clouds floated on the cheeks, even the neck and back were burning red, those clear water eyes were no longer clear, thick and thin The burgundy under the eyes was stained with a layer of misty color.


After taking the last sip, he couldn't hold the bowl in his hand, slipped out of his palm and fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces with a clang.


After shaking for a while, Xue Yi stretched out his hand to support the edge of the table, supporting his frivolous steps, and felt that his head was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. The sound of the drum hit the painful acupuncture points on both sides.


Holding his head down, he went to serve the last bowl of wine.


Unexpectedly, his feet softened, and his hands were empty.


The noise came like a tide, I don't know who it is, three or five gangs rushed up, took the bowl of wine, held Xue Yi's face in countless hands, and poured the wine from the bowl into her mouth Down.


Instinctively dodging back, the half-bowl of wine splashed all over her face, dripping down her chin and wet the skirt of her chest.


The already unsteady body was pushed and pushed by countless people, the jasper hairpin fell off, and the black hair fell down, and the cold evening wind blew in gusts, blowing away an intoxicating fragrance.


The long hair like a waterfall is blowing in the wind, and the charming back is even more fascinating.


Suddenly, like a gust of wind, the pressure around her suddenly disappeared, and the group of people who surrounded her all fell backwards with a sound of overlapping, and a group of people bumped into each other.


The sky and the earth rotated for a while, and the swaying figure in Xueyi drew several circles on the spot, and his unbalanced feet brought his whole body to the side.


Silently, he fell into a broad chest.


The strong wine burned his heart, and the stamina of these seven bowls of wine was like a scourge, slapping his swollen forehead, and his temples throbbed rapidly, and the pain in his heart was like a tossing sea.


The fiery heat on his cheeks almost penetrated through the thick clothing and reached Shangguan Fenglan's heart.


Enduring the heavy alcohol, Xue Yi silently lowered her head and leaned against Shangguan Fenglan's chest, her hands tightly clutching his sleeves on both sides, she couldn't tell who she was grabbing at the moment, she just lowered her head to let herself endure With the strength of the wine, let the puffy feet have a support to rely on.


Behind him, in the commotion of the crowd, Shangguan Fengqi clapped his hands together, "Come here, light the incense!"


As the words fell, two attendants carried a large nine-gang tripod up to the high platform. A large stick of sandalwood was inserted in the bronze tripod, and a trace of green smoke scattered with the wind.


This incense is called Qingtian, and it takes about half an hour to burn a stick.


"This cauldron is right here. This king will give you time to burn incense. If you want to know where that maid is, it depends on whether you can hold on!"


Amidst the yelling one after another, there are overcrowded people looking up.


Long Qingtian gritted his teeth, his face was extremely ugly.


Shangguan Fenglan's eyes were also so cold that there was no warmth.


Seeing that they were angry, Shangguan Fengqi couldn't help but let out a series of arrogant laughs:


"You guys can help her if you want to, but this king advises you, no matter how fast your skills are, it is not as good as the signal in my hand.

Come on, that maid is dead or alive, her life is in your hands. "


At this time, Xue Yi, who was leaning on Shangguan Fenglan's chest, slowly clenched into a fist, enduring the pain caused by the alcohol, slowly raised his head, staggered, turned around and stood firmly in front of Shangguan Fengqi , said:


"Now that you've drunk the wine, tell me, what else do you want! Where are you hiding Abi!"


"This king said, I invite you here to see you sing a good show. Tonight is the Lantern Festival. How can I do without guessing the lights? I think you have seen it when you came just now. The arrangement under the stage, But it is specially designed for you, whether you can find your maid, as long as you can survive these two levels and guess all the lantern riddles, you will be able to get the answer you want from the answers to the riddles."


Xueyi sneered.


mean.


When she got off the horse just now, she had already seen the 'stage' that Shangguan Fengqi was referring to.


Although he didn't understand what those things were for, he also knew that Shangguan Fengqi would not let her get through so easily.


Without too much hesitation, she said firmly:


"I hope that the seventh prince is not a person who turns back on what he says, everyone is watching, as long as I last till the end, the prince will definitely return my maid to me!?"


Shangguan Fengqi leaned over and sneered, "You are not qualified to bargain with me. This king presents you with a gift. The incense has already been lit. What you are delaying is not this king's time, but your maidservant's life. If the incense burns out, you If you haven’t solved all the mysteries until the end, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”


The floating eyes stared straight at Shangguan Fengqi's smiling face.


Xueyi walked down the stage silently, her swaying body staggered and almost fell down several times.


Before stepping off the stage, her scorching gaze drifted away, meeting the deep eyes under Jin's face.


When she walked to his side, her burning throat opened, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant:


"Sir, General Long, no matter what happens later, don't worry about it, I will definitely save Abi back."


"Also, Mingxiang, stay here, don't come over, do you hear me?"


Without looking at the faces of the three of them, she took vain steps, staggered and fell down the steps, struggled and got up again, and walked to the middle of a row of bright as day lantern stands, with three-meter-high wooden stakes on both sides There are no less than ten lanterns in each row, and the distance between the two rows of wooden lantern frames is only three steps away, which is just enough for her to pass.


A string of revolving lanterns hung on each wooden post, the lanterns rotated, the lights were bright, a beautiful picture was painted on the bright lanterns, and a lantern riddle was written on each string of lanterns.


On the hemp ropes connected to the wooden posts, there were countless firecrackers hanging, and the bedding at the foot of the wooden posts was also a line of firecrackers that had already been prepared. Just listening to Shangguan Fengqi's order from the high platform, a group of people immediately Set those leads on fire.


wow~

The sound of firecrackers piled up became louder and louder, and the figures sandwiched between the stakes were almost engulfed by bursts of green smoke.


A huge crackling sound vibrated next to her ears, crackling like it was about to tear her eardrums apart, and there was only a buzzing roar left in the already heavy mind.


The sudden loud noise, and the countless remnants of firecrackers that hit her were unbearably painful, and some of them hit her face and the back of her hands. She felt pain all over her body. The smell of smoke and fire was pungent, and the strong smell of smoke almost made her sick.


His hands instinctively protect his head and face, and wherever his hazy vision goes, among the crowds, there is an expression of watching the show.


Pushing open the heavy eyelids, to see clearly every mystery on the revolving lantern.


On the stage, Shangguan Fengqi was completely immersed in the joy of revenge.


Shangguan Fenglan was cold and said to Long Qingtian in a low voice:

"Take my gold medal and go to the nearest local government office to call people. You only said to arrest a female fugitive, who the emperor wants to arrest. Bring officers and soldiers to Baihua Street, and only search the north part of the street!"


Long Qingtian looked at Shangguan Fenglan in surprise:


"You mean, Abi is on Baihua Street?!"


Shangguan Fenglan looked up at the sky and said:

"If the signal is placed here, and it needs to be at a relatively long distance, then the only part that can be seen is the north side of Baihua Street. Since it is Baihua Street, then Abi must be hidden in a brothel. It’s hard to know which one it’s in, there are at least dozens of them in the area of ​​North Street, you have to find her before they find out, otherwise”


This turning point brought Long Qingtian's heart to his throat.


Shangguan Fenglan said in a low voice:

"I understand the temperament of the Seventh Prince. Even if he doesn't take Abi's life, when the incense burns out, he will send out a prepared signal to let his people teach Abi a lesson when the incense burns out. In a place like a brothel, I think you should know what the consequences will be."


"."


There were blue veins throbbing faintly on Long Qingtian's forehead, and there was unprecedented shock and anger in his eyes.


"You don't have much time until this stick of incense burns out, so go!"


Shangguan Fenglan took out the gold medal from his pocket and secretly handed it to Long Qingtian. Long Qingtian's shadowy figure disappeared into the sea of ​​people in an instant.


The fireworks illuminated the golden face, and the eyes under the golden face slowly half-closed, staring at the embarrassed figure below.


Only if she delays Shangguan Fengqi and delays this incense burning time, can Long Qingtian have a chance to rescue Abi.


Under the black cloak, the icy fists had unconsciously tightened.


Under the memorial archway, when Xueyi came out of the flames of firecrackers, the clothes all over her body were already covered with gunpowder dust, and the clothes were scorched by sparks, burning black holes one after another, and the broken fabrics hung down. His embarrassed face was covered with blackness, and his long hair was scattered and messy.


Tears choked out of the bloodshot eyes from the fireworks.


She leaned over violently and coughed for a while, choking up tears, holding her heavy forehead, and leaning her swaying body under the last wooden stake, she vomited a puddle of strong alcohol that was burning in her heart.


When I raised my head, I felt that the sky and the earth were spinning, and amidst the din of voices, the Qingman figure collapsed to the ground.
