The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 95 Encounter in South Mist City

"Young lady is studious, and I admire this old man. This is the lamp for the two girls, but you can take it." The boss happily fetched the lamp for her.

Afterwards, the boss directly took out the pen and ink: "Young lady, stand side by side, and wait for the old man to draw a picture."

"Don't you need to guess the puzzle anymore?" Xing Chen asked.

The boss shook his head: "Since I have already won three questions in a row, I am afraid that there is no puzzle here that can stop the girl. There is no need. Both of you smile, and the old man can start to outline."

"Here, master, can I also draw my friend?" Li Hualuo poked her head towards Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying shook her hands: "Luo'er, how can there be a painting with three people together."

The boss also agreed: "Girl, in the old man's writing, there are only two works. I wish you two good luck."

Seeing that the boss misunderstood, Xingchen wanted to explain, but Li Hualuo thanked him first: "Then there will be Master Lao."

After hearing this, Xing Chen stopped explaining, and looked at Li Hualuo's side face with a bright smile, and Li Hualuo just looked forward, and she also smiled slightly, but Xing Chen stood on the side and never saw it.

Soon, the boss finished the painting and endowed it with pear blossoms and stars.

Staring at the painting on the paper, Xingchen was a little obsessed: "Luo'er, so you laughed?"

Li Hualuo didn't do Da Da directly, but instead asked: "I don't laugh at Master, how do you paint?"

The master just smiled kindly and did not disturb the pleasant conversation between the two of them.

Jiang Ying also stepped forward to admire the painting.In the painting, Li Hualuo stands upright, showing a girlish smile, and the stars show her eight bright front teeth cheerfully, looking at her side face, holding Kongming lanterns in both hands, standing under a bright full moon , like a couple of gods and immortals, without interfering with the outside world.

"Luo'er, in Master's painting, you are really beautiful. The stars are still so enchanting, but there is something missing in this painting." After Jiang Ying finished admiring the painting, she began to think about the painting.

"This painting only needs to be colored, but the coloring has to be done by the young lady." The boss said that the shortcoming is an unfinished work.

"Xing Chen, this painting is for you, remember to color it." Li Hualuo finished the scroll, and the boss gave a box that could be treasured, and handed it to Xing Chen.

"See you by fate." Lihua said goodbye to the boss with a quack etiquette, and Xingchen and Jiang Ying also said goodbye together.

The boss just smiled and shook his hands, and found the next couple who were destined.

"Luo'er, where are we going?" Xing Chen held the lamp, showing half of his head forward.

Li Hualuo dragged the lamp in her hand: "I'll take you guys to set up the lamp."

"Can't we just put it here?" Jiang Ying answered a little casually, it seems that she has never felt like putting a Kongming lantern.

"Of course not." Li Hualuo led them to the edge of the Han River that passed through Nanwu City. There was a crowd of people standing there, and they all put up Kongming lanterns at this moment, making sincere wishes.

Li Hualuo led them to hide in the crowd, and then took a pen to write her wish on the Kongming Lantern. Xing Chen and Jiang Ying came over to see what happened.

"What is Luo'er writing?" Xing Chen and Jiang Ying asked curiously at the same time.

"Write a wish, you can't read it, it won't work." Li Hualuo was cheerful and bright for a rare time, and she looked a little naive and cute.

"Write a wish? Ying'er, have you never let go of the Kongming Lantern before?" Xing Chen looked at Jiang Ying, wondering if he had no memory, how could Jiang Ying not know?

Jiang Ying faltered: "Didn't I stay at Ewha Peak all the time before, how could I have time to put lights..."

"Didn't you see it when you were young?" Xingchen asked again.

Lihualuo helped her and replied: "Ying'er has been staying in Lihuafeng since she was a child, and has never been anywhere. Occasionally, she has to go out to perform missions on Mid-Autumn Festival night, so she can only take a quick look."

"Luo'er, you never let it go..." Jiang Ying knew that Li Hualuo was quite cold and arrogant in the past, and I'm afraid it's impossible to put the lamp on.

"Let's let it go when I was young." Li Hualuo also entered Lihua Peak when she was almost ten years old. Jiang Ying naturally didn't know what she did when she was a child.But this is indeed the first time Lihualuo puts on the lights. After all, she has watched a lot on TV, so she knows something about it.

After hearing this, Xing Chen and Jiang Ying got a little understanding, and each borrowed a writing brush from someone else who had written their wishes, and then each wrote their wishes on the Kongming Lantern.

"After writing the wish, you can let it go and let it fly to the sky, and we just need to follow their example, clasping our fingers together, placing them on our chest, closing our eyes, and silently recite the wish on the Kongming Lantern in our hearts. "Li Hualuo signaled them to follow the crowd.

The three of them put on the lamp together, then clasped their fingers tightly together, closed their eyes, and silently recited their wishes in their hearts.At about the same time, the three of them opened their eyes, looking at the brightly lit sky at night, not counting Kongming lanterns flying above, carrying the wishes and happiness of everyone here, what a lively and peaceful night.

Gradually, those Kongming lanterns flew higher and higher, as if they were going to run towards the moon, but they couldn't reach it anyway.

"Luo'er, I suddenly want to eat candied haws." Xingchen thought that when he first arrived in Yucheng, Li Hualuo, who was originally cold, would take him and Jiang Ying to eat candied haws. It was a beautiful past.At this moment, it would be nice to relive the sweet and sour feeling of biting candied haws.

"A big man actually likes to eat candied haws..." Jiang Ying despised him.

"Didn't Ying'er also say that candied haws were delicious when she was in Yucheng?" Li Hualuo said mercilessly, and sure enough, she was a bit... forgetful about her friends.

Jiang Ying didn't dare to despise Lihualuo, so she could only be helpless.

The three of them were walking on the streets of Nanwu City, eating candied haws elegantly. This was another scene, but it was a pity that such a scene was not easy to notice in the night.

"Let's go, find an inn to stay in." The three of them ate and strolled, and the night was getting darker.Li Hualuo saw that everyone was also gradually dispersing, so they didn't stay here anymore, not to mention that they were still a little tired when they first arrived in Nanwu and traveled through mountains and rivers.

Just a few steps away, a voice behind her stopped her.

"Lord of the pavilion."

Li Hualuo turned her head, Han Jiuling and Liang Jingyan were standing behind them at this moment.

"Young Master Han, Young Master Liang, why are you here?" Li Hualuo did not ask in a cold tone, but expressed surprise without being abrupt.

Han Jiuling replied: "Brother Liang and I arrived here a month ago, and Nanwu is Brother Liang's hometown."

"Looks like we met by chance." Even though Li Hualuo said that, the deep meaning of the words and herself understood that this was not a fateful encounter. "Encounter" is just a nice way of saying it.

"Since we met by chance, why not come back to the inn with us to chat with Pavilion Master Luo?" Han Jiuling piously asked for Li Hualuo's opinion.

Back at the inn, a few people sat down at a table, and asked Xiao Er to serve some delicacies.

Han Jiuling looked at the two people beside Li Hualuo and said, "Lanhui saw that the girl had been bringing this young master and the girl with her before, so I don't know the names of the two?"

"These two are my friends."

After Li Hualuo finished speaking, Jiang Ying simply read her name.

Xingchen replied enthusiastically: "My name is Xingchen. I'm very glad to meet Mr. Han and Mr. Liang! Although I didn't see Mr. Lan's face last time at the Lan Hui, the kind of Lan who came out was a gentleman. When I saw Mr. Han himself today, he was also very handsome. Noble and uncommon."

Han Jiuling smiled slightly: "Young Master Xingchen is serious."

"Mr. Han, did you know that I was going to come to Nanwu City? Didn't you just wait for me here?" Li Hualuo looked into his eyes. He arrived here a month ago. , She was sure that she would go to Nanwu, so she came here ahead of time to wait.

Sure enough, under Li Hualuo's direct gaze, there might not be a pair of eyes that could escape.Han Jiuling didn't intend to hide anything, and said, "Actually, brother Liang and I came to Nanwu early to wait because we heard that Pavilion Master Luo was going south. The main reason was to accompany Brother Liang to come back to see the countryside."

"Young Master Liang came back to investigate the tragedy of your family's extermination, right?" Li Hualuo straight to the point told the reason why he came to Nanwu twice.

"Lord Luo Pavilion is indeed direct, that's why." Liang Jingyan replied without any surprise.

"In that case, what did you find out?" Li Hualuo asked again.

"In order to avoid startling others and attract attention, the two of us have never left the inn except for today's Mid-Autumn Moonlight Night." Han Jiuling replied.

"Mr. Han so much believes that I can find out for you?" Li Hualuo frowned. He asked Li Hualuo to do something that Han Jiuling didn't dare to investigate rashly?
Jiang Ying also realized this, and asked for Li Hualuo: "Mr. Han, you are not willing to directly intervene in the matter, but now you have to leave it to my pavilion master. I don't know what is hidden in it?"

"Miss Jiang, Master Luo, Master Xingchen, please go upstairs." Han Jiuling made a "please" gesture to the upstairs.

Li Hualuo and Jiang Ying looked at each other and went up to the second floor together. It seemed that there was something hidden.

In the private room on the second floor, Liang Jingyan closed the door, and everyone sat down at the same table.

At this time, Liang Jingyan took out a black dart from his bosom. The blood-colored plum blossoms on it were clear and bright, but in Liang Jingyan's eyes, the hatred was as deep as the sea.

"This is..." When Xing Chen saw the black dart, he kept covering his head, and there seemed to be intermittent images flashing through his mind.

"Stars! Stars!" Li Hualuo called him a few times, took his hand over and began to pulse.

Sweat dripped from Xingchen's forehead, his face was pale, and his pupils dilated a lot, as if he had thought of something terrible.

"What does Master Xingchen have to do with this black dart?" Han Jiuling asked aloud.

Li Hualuo was slightly shocked, and said, "Young Master Han is too worried. This kind of plum blossom dart looks ordinary, but its material and plum blossom color are very unique. I don't know much about the stars, so I'm afraid I've never seen it before."

After a while, Xing Chen finally regained his composure, and replied: "Indeed, this is the first time I have seen this dart."

"Is this dart closely related to Liangfu's affairs?" Li Hualuo asked.

Han Jiuling and Liang Jingyan looked at each other, feeling that neither Xing Chen nor Jiang Ying looked like outsiders around Li Hualuo, so he said, "Lord Luo Pavilion, this plum blossom dart is indeed closely related to what happened in Liangfu back then. The only clue that Liangfu discovered after the door was destroyed. This kind of dart only appeared twice in my information network, one time was Liangfu's family, and the other time...appeared in the East Palace."

"East Palace?" Li Hualuo thought deeply.

"Is there any connection between Liangfu and Donggong?" Jiang Ying asked puzzled.

Han Jiuling shook his head: "There is no connection. Obviously, the appearance of this kind of dart is aimed at some big people. Five years ago, the Liangfu, the richest party in Nanwu, was wiped out overnight. What I can't understand is that the three It appeared in the East Palace years ago, but nothing happened."

"It seems that Mr. Han has more clues." Li Hualuo said with certainty.

Han Jiuling smiled slightly, as if a little open-minded: "Indeed, there is a record in Hanlu Pavilion, every time this plum blossom black dart appears, it must get rid of important people, and there has never been a mistake."

"Another hidden force has appeared?" Jiang Ying cast doubtful eyes on Li Hualuo.

"Master Luo knows the hidden power?" Han Jiuling exclaimed.

"I know a little bit, but I don't know much." The first time Li Hualuo knew that the hidden power was just a letter sent back by Mingyue, she just had doubts. It wasn't until Yang Pingzhen that Xi Ye blurted out a hidden religion that she started. Suspect this other hidden force.

Han Jiuling acted as if she had found the right person, and said, "That's right, the plum blossom black dart is the symbol of this hidden force."

"Plum Blossom Black Dart... It seems that this is another hidden force." Li Hualuo muttered.

But Han Jiuling could hear it clearly, and asked: "Listening to Pavilion Master Luo, do you know another hidden force?"

After hearing this, Li Hualuo did not answer directly, but asked instead: "It seems that Mr. Han knows that there is more than one hidden power?"

"That's true. The three kingdoms stand together, and there are three traces of hidden forces. There is a secret manipulation force in every country. We, Hanlu Pavilion, have been chasing down the force that owns the plum blossom black dart since its inception. In the end, it was fruitless. There are very few clues." Han Jiuling replied.

"Three shares?" Li Hualuo frowned.

Han Jiuling replied affirmatively: "There are indeed three forces secretly manipulating."

"Mr. Han is in contact with the hidden forces of the Plum Blossom Black Dart faction. Have you come into contact with other hidden forces?" Li Hualuo asked.

Han Jiuling shook her head: "This matter is quite difficult to investigate, and there are no other traces."

"I came into contact with another hidden force some time ago." Li Hualuo said.

Han Jiuling became interested: "The other one? What power is it?"

It seems that he tried his best to track down these forces, but he had no clue.

However, it shouldn't be like this...

Li Hualuo asked suspiciously: "I saw that another force was exposed a little easier. Mr. Han's information on Hanlu Pavilion is spread all over the Three Kingdoms and other places. Why is there no clue?"

Han Jiuling said: "The whereabouts of the Plum Blossom Black Dart are the most secretive and largest among the three forces, so the Hanlu Pavilion was originally established to trace the existence of this force. We deliberately hide it in front of us, I'm afraid it's not easy to find out, so I'm a little too busy. I don't know how Pavilion Master Luo found out another hidden force?"
