Chapter 265 Chapter 265
It was the first time for the Song family to celebrate the New Year in Beidi, and they didn't expect the festive atmosphere here to be so strong.

From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, there is no curfew in Xucheng. When you go to the streets at night, you can see red lanterns lit on the street lampposts, and red lotus lanterns are hung at the door of every house.

Even without the light, the vision is clear.

There are many street vendors in the streets and alleys. They sell small snacks and gadgets made by themselves. Most of them are not for making money, but just to pass the time by watching their children playing outside. It would be great if you can earn a few copper coins , If you can't make money, you won't be bored.

The Song family thought it was new, so the whole family went out to wander around the city.

Because Xu Cheng had gone through several rounds of screening and continued inspections by the inspection department, there was no problem with his safety, so Song Qingzhai didn't send many people to protect him, and only sent a few secret guards to follow him secretly.

He himself asked Xu Ji to go to the tower to enjoy the scenery.

In the summer of Xucheng, water was diverted to make a moat. Now the city is tall and deep, with a considerable scale, and it is a veritable city.

There are red lights hanging at the four corners of the Qiaolou at the top of the city, and the bells under the cornices make a crisp sound in the night wind.

From time to time, I could hear the footsteps of the inspector of the night patrol, but the night seemed more and more silent.

There is a warm charcoal basin inside the Qiaolou, and there is no shortage of tea and fruit dishes, probably for the inspectors who take turns to enjoy during their breaks.

When Song Qingzhai came, he was carrying a big bag in his hand. At this moment, he removed all the tea and snacks on the table, opened the bag, took all kinds of snacks and dried and fresh fruits from it, and put them out, and took a bag of pear juice , put it on the side of the charcoal basin to dry, and La Xuji sat down to talk.

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows. It could be seen that he was very attentive. He must have greeted the inspection department in advance. No one came here. The tea and snacks on the table were prepared for the two of them.

There was still a soft cushion on the low stool, so Xu Ji sat down, grabbed a handful of melon seeds to chew, and asked him, "Why did you think of asking me to come here?"

"There's a scene I want to invite you to watch." Song Qingzhai touched her hand and found it warm, so he didn't worry, straightened up and opened the window.

Their table was originally placed by the window, and when the window was opened, the south gate of Xu Cheng was condescending.

There used to be a wide road outside the south gate of Xucheng. The up and down roads were separated by dwarf shrubs in the middle of the road. Street trees no taller than one person were planted on the side of the road. In spring, someone would sprinkle annual herbs in the tree pits. Flower seeds are also pleasing to the eye when they are in bloom.

But now the trees are withered, and it only snowed two days ago, the wilderness is completely white, and there is nothing to see.

Facing the cold air, Song Qingzhai said calmly: "Many people in this world claim to be superb hunters, but they are actually pretending to be smart."

"Oh?" Xu Ji smiled a little, "I suspect you're talking about Zhou Qi."

Song Qingzhai looked back at her and smiled back: "Don't doubt it, it's him."

Xu Ji laughed out loud, "So the eagle dog he sent has fallen into your trap?"

"That's right," Song Qingzhai beckoned her to look out the window, "He not only wants to plant spies among the civil servants, but also has spies in the military.

"They have agreed that when the time is right, they will cooperate with the outside world and take all the eighteen cities in the Northland into their pockets."

Xu Ji snorted, isn't this a fool's dream?Even if they really captured the eighteen cities of the Northland, would they have the ability to defend them?
If Beihu doesn't take the opportunity to make a comeback, it won't be a nation with wolves as its totem!
