auspicious time has come

Chapter 141
During the Lantern Festival, thousands of lanterns compete for splendor. This magnificence, even if the gods come, will also be stained with a few wisps of human fireworks.

The statue-like figure stood there at this moment, looking at the approaching girl, the brows were unconsciously warm like a spring day.

"Why are you here?" Heng Yu came to him and asked with surprise in his eyes.

"Accompany the genius doctor for a walk, and take a look at the customs and customs of Yingzhou."

Doctor Bai let out a "huh" from the bottom of his heart when he heard this - he didn't know that he had such a big face that he was able to work so hard that Marquis Dingbei would accompany him in person.

Isn't it enough to send a servant casually for such a thing?No matter how bad it is, he still has an apprentice idle.

But when he was about to leave, this Lord Hou insisted on following him.

He was still thinking about how the Marquis of Dingbei, who seems to reject people thousands of miles away, is actually a clingy spirit in his bones, and there is someone here who he really wants to cling to.

Knowing the "relationship" between the two, Doctor Bai was not surprised by this, but sighed in his heart: It's good to be young.

Pei Wushuang and the others followed, and they were quite shocked to see Xiao Mu appearing here in person. When they wanted to salute, they were stopped by Xiao Mu's follower who reminded them, so they just saluted.

Doctor Bai was attracted by the liquor stand in front of him, and started talking to the old man who bought liquor.

And the same group of young people who were talking around Hengyu just now also followed -

"Girl, is this... your elder brother?" A handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who seemed to be full of vigor looked at Xiao Mu and asked Hengyu curiously.

After all, both of them are born so good-looking, they are not like ordinary people, and their ages are not the same. It seems that they are about four or five years apart, so they are probably siblings, right?
"Ah, that's not true." Heng Yu looked at Xiao Mu, raised his hand and introduced: "This is my uncle, and I came to Yingzhou this time to stay at the home of this uncle."

"..." Just now when he heard the word "elder brother", Xiao Hou, who was already complaining in his heart, turned his head stiffly to look at her.

"Oh, so it's Uncle Shi!" The young man smiled even more, and saluted Xiao Mu: "Jiao Qi, I met Uncle Shi!"

Xiao Mu frowned very quickly.

Who is his uncle?
"Hello, Uncle Wen."

"I have seen Uncle Shi, the younger Zhao Fengzhang is very polite."

"..."

Xiao Mu: "!"

Who is their uncle?

He wasn't much older than them either!

Let's just get close, so what's the point of taking the opportunity to report your name?
Jiao Qi squeezed to the front, and asked with bright eyes: "I don't know Shishu's name? It will be convenient for the boys to visit in the future!"

"It's just presumptuous! Nonsense!"

A slightly flustered scolding sound came suddenly, and a middle-aged man in a long gown with an elegant demeanor walked over quickly.

The handsome young man named Zhao Fengzhang turned his head to look: "Father?"

The man didn't care to look at him, and quickly apologized to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded slightly: "I haven't seen Mr. Zhao Shan for a long time."

The man was rather terrified: "Master Hou still remembers XX!"

Marquis? !
There was a lot of noise everywhere, his voice was not high, but the teenagers around him could still hear him clearly.

"You guys speak so rashly and offend, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Lord Hou!" Zhao Shanzhang looked at his son and several students in the academy.

"Wh...Which Lord Marquis?" Jiao Qi was stunned, and asked without daring to move, "Could it be...Xiao Jieshi, General Xiao?"

"Otherwise!" Zhao Shanchang wished he could slap him with a slap, "Apologize!"

The young people who were still full of vigor and smiles just now turned into a group of quails, bowing their heads in fear and saluting.

Who would have thought that this "Uncle Shi" would be General Xiao!
"Those who don't know are right." Xiao Mu said indifferently, and immediately looked at Heng Yu: "Let's go."

Ever since he was called Uncle Shi by everyone, he has been nodding to Heng Yu, who secretly suppressed a smile.

"Master Hou, go slowly..." Zhao Shanzhang saluted and watched him off.

"girl!"

Just as Heng Yu and Xiao Mu turned around and took two steps, they heard Jiao Qi shout from behind.

Heng Yu turned her head, and saw the young man mustered up his courage and said: "Will the girl come here again?"

"I won't come." Heng Yu answered very neatly, without much nostalgia: "Once the Lantern Festival is over and the lanterns are taken down, there will be nothing interesting here."

Her tone fell into Wang Jingyong's ears, and she felt very much like a heartless girl who loved the new and disliked the old - although she was only talking about lanterns, she treated things like this, and she must treat people the same way!
Deputy General Wang was full of worries about his general's future situation, and he couldn't stop his thoughts at all.

"That's true too..." Jiao Qi hurriedly said with a smile: "There is nothing interesting here, but there are other places. I know the inside and outside of Yingzhou City best! If a girl wants to go around, she can send someone a message, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses! I will live at Jiao’s house in the east of the city, and I will be waiting for you at any time!”

Heng Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Jiao Qi was overjoyed, and his white teeth were particularly eye-catching when he smiled.

Xiao Mu felt that he had rarely been so impatient, so he took a step forward.

Heng Yu quickly followed.

Xiao Mu turned slightly to look at her: "Okay—?"

Hengyu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was repeating what she had said just now, and said with a smile: "Great kindness is hard to turn down, polite words."

Xiao Mu let out an "oh" and said, "If you want to go anywhere, the Hou Mansion has no shortage of people to order, and you don't need outsiders to help you."

"Of course I know." Heng Yu smiled and said, "Since Uncle Shi is here, why should I bother others?"

"..." Xiao Mu was silent for a while, and then said: "You have gained a lot by coming out."

Heng Yu blinked: "Is it the lantern?"

Xiao Mu said casually as he walked, "It's not just lanterns."

"Master Hou is not bad." Heng Yu said: "After walking down this short distance, I don't know how many little ladies have sneaked over - this means that Master Hou gave birth to Zhang and rejected people thousands of miles away. face, and the aura that is as cold as ice and not close to strangers, otherwise every time you go out, you will be empty?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help asking: "If I really have such an aura, why can you still stand beside me?"

"It's because I have a thick skin that I can barely withstand the wind and frost of Lord Hou." Hengyu suddenly said with emotion: "I still remember the situation when Lord Hou used me as a thief to guard against me when I first arrived in Yingzhou. At that time, I was really restless all day long, and couldn't sleep at night, fearing that my life would be in danger tomorrow."

Xiao Mu said "Oh": "I never saw when you were ever apprehensive—"

Heng Yu sighed: "How dare you show it."

Xiao Mu still looked ahead, and said: "Then you can show it boldly now, and you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Heng Yu was originally in the mood of nonsense, but at this moment when he heard his reaction, he was slightly startled, and after a while, he smiled seriously and nodded: "I feel the same way."

By his side, she really no longer felt anxious or afraid, and not only was she no longer anxious——

The smile on the girl's face has never faded, and she is also very interested in everything, pointing forward and saying: "The front looks very lively, let's go and see it too?"

Xiao Mu let out a "hmm".

Hengyu was about to go forward quickly, when suddenly a team of dancing dragon lanterns appeared from the side, the crowd hurriedly avoided, when Hengyu was almost knocked down, a big hand grabbed her and pulled her away in time return.

That hand was warm and cool and strong.

The surroundings are bustling with people, and the lights of various colors are charming.

Covered by a cloak and wide sleeves, no one can see the hands they hold tightly.

At this moment, the world seemed to be silent for a moment.

In the dragon lantern dance team, the waist drum was thumping.

Some people couldn't tell whether what they heard was the sound of drums or their own heartbeat.

"There are many people here, girl, be careful!"

Cui Huai managed to squeeze over, and reminded out of breath.

Pei Wushuang and others have also followed.

The moment he heard Cui Huai's voice, Heng Yu quickly withdrew his hand, his heart thumped, as if he was afraid that someone would see some great secret.

She has always been calm, open and thick-skinned, and rarely has such a guilty conscience.

The next moment, her hand was held again.

There was a "buzz" in Hengyu's mind, and there was a brief blankness and bewilderment—what's the meaning of this?Is that what she thinks?Do you want to agree?Think twice?No matter, let's hold it back first and then talk!
"The fairy lamp is being seized ahead, let's go and have a look!" Pei Wushuang's cheerful voice rang in his ears.

Heng Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and looked down at the two hands that were intertwined. The other end was connected to his friend.

She was dragged away by Pei Wushuang, until she was sure that she was temporarily out of Xiao Mu's sight, and then she let out a long breath—what was she thinking in her head!
"Father, just now... is that really General Xiao?" The young man named Zhao Fengzhang watched the disappearance of Xiao Mu's group and felt that he hadn't recovered yet.

"How can this be fake?" Zhao Shanchang glanced at his son, and couldn't help but want to sigh - he also admired the little girl from other people, the kid from the Jiao family dared to jump up just now, but his family is fine, and he hasn't recovered yet !

"But how could father recognize General Xiao?" the young man asked puzzled.

If it's just that his father has seen General Xiao, it's fine, but just now General Xiao also recognized his father——

Zhao Shanchang stroked his beard: "It's not that I recognize him, it's because my father was saved by General Xiao."

"When did it happen? Why have I never heard of it from my father!"

"The mountain is long and the mountain is long, tell me!"

The curiosity of the teenagers was raised to the highest point.

"It was three years ago... No, it was already four years ago." Zhao Shanzhang said slowly: "At that time, after King Jin conspired against him, his deputy general stole the soldier talisman and led a group of troops to flee. To avoid General Xiao's pursuit, those rebels fled to Fengshan Academy by accident. During the crisis, the deputy general held me hostage with a knife and threatened General Xiao to take people back and let them go, otherwise he would kill me and call Someone set fire to the academy—”

"There are other things!"

"Then General Xiao retreated?"

That's why he saved the head of the mountain?
The teenagers had roughly confirmed the answer, and someone said: "General Xiao is truly unparalleled in righteousness and benevolence. At that time, Yingzhou was not under his rule. It is normal for the people to be implicated in times of war. Normally, there is no need to consider the cost of killing the rebels." ...It is really rare for General Xiao to care about the safety of the people so much!"

Zhao Shanchang smiled and shook his head.

"No, General Xiao didn't retreat." He said: "How can you take the words of those desperadoes seriously? I'm afraid that the academy will be ransacked and slaughtered as soon as they retreat."

"No retreat?"

"How did you save the head of the mountain?"

Zhao Shanchang: "When the two sides confronted each other, General Xiao said two words to me—"

　Ah, thrilling moment, one minute to twelve o'clock, good night everyone!
