Chapter 218 Joy (thanks to Lan Minmin for the monthly ticket~)

Emperor Wu was unscathed, but Xue Yao was hit by the arrow.

At that time, for the three consecutive arrows coming through the air, the first arrow was reacted very quickly, and Xue Yao, who happened to be right in front of Emperor Wu, stood up and blocked it.

Xue Yao was also a master, so he found the right angle at that time. Although the arrow pierced through the flesh, after removing the arrow, the injury was not as serious as it seemed.

As for the remaining two arrows that followed, when the sound of piercing the air came, Emperor Wu immediately got up and pulled out the Tang knife from his waist, swiped the blade left and right twice very quickly, and cut off the arrows that passed her front. .

Cut off just close to the end of the arrow cluster (zú), so that the tip of the arrowhead hits the body of the knife.

Emperor Wu practiced martial arts all the year round, but in an instant, he blocked the two arrows that were aimed at killing her.

Everything happened too fast, and by the time Wang Dadang realized it, Xue Yao had already been hit by an arrow, and Emperor Wu also put away the blade, pointing the point at the ground.

Xue Yao knelt down on both knees: "Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

Emperor Wu's face was serious, his eyes looked back and forth in the audience, and those who made eye contact bowed their heads.

"check."

"Yes."

Xue Yao saw that Emperor Wu's eight hidden guards had come out of the shadows and arrived at Emperor Wu's side, then got up, cut off the arrow feathers on his shoulders with a knife, turned and walked out.

So far, this palace banquet can only be hastily ended.

Emperor Wu was escorted by eight secret guards, followed by Wang Dadang and left Taiji Palace and returned to Daming Palace.

The other people in the hall, including King Xiang and Princess Taiping, bowed their heads and waited for Emperor Wu to leave before leaving one by one under the guidance of the palace staff.

The Minister of Rites was only able to get up from the ground with the help of the young palace servants.

His legs were weak, and he could barely stand by leaning on the palace man. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and rejoiced in his heart, "Fortunately, it seems that my life can be saved."

When everyone left the square in front of the main hall, the smell of blood and burning tung oil came to their noses.

Only then did people realize that the side hall of the Taiji Palace was on fire!

Watching the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard orderly scooping water from the mortise tank to fight the fire.

Xiang Wang first sent Princess Taiping back to her own bedroom in the harem, and then returned to her own mansion outside the palace.

Before leaving the palace, he saw Jin Wuwei carrying several corpses to the dungeon from a distance, presumably those were traitors.

King Xiang drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp in his mansion, recalling in his mind the skill with which Emperor Wu used to block the arrow with his sword when he was facing a hidden arrow at the palace banquet.

"She is 50 years old, but she can still move so fast. I'm afraid she can live for 30 to [-] years."

Everything that happened in the Taiji Palace in the imperial city had nothing to do with the people in Chang'an City, and it didn't affect the people's love for no curfew tonight.

After watching the play, the Li family members learned from Xiao Lang in the front row that there will be fireworks in the imperial city at Xushi tonight, so they decided to go home later after playing tonight.

Mrs. Li was a little worried: "Aren't you going to be on duty tomorrow?"

"It's okay, sister-in-law, no matter how late we play, it's just a time to gossip together after dinner when we were at home in the past. There is no delay."

In the West Market, today is really full of voices and crowds, and there are all kinds of dialects from all over the world.

Moreover, in the West Market, Li Sanniang unexpectedly found a small vendor selling red fruits.

It was the idea that Li Sanniang came up with Li Kui and Wang Gui in the soup and cake restaurant before, asking them to wash the red fruits and string them together, learn from Xiangguiji to make candies, wrap them in sugar liquid and sell them.

I asked before, three copper plates and two strings, neither expensive nor cheap.

Li Sanniang asked for a lot, and each of them shared a bunch, and there was still a bunch left. The hawker kindly wrapped it in oil paper, so that he could save it for Brother Li to taste.

"Isn't this made from the big basket of fruit that Sanniang took home?"

As soon as Mrs. Li got it, she could tell that this was the basket of mountain fruits that Li Sanniang took home that day.

"Hey, sister-in-law, that's right. It is estimated that they are scattered and sold in the lively places of Chang'an City. The price is lower than I expected, and I don't know if it will make money."

Li Dalang answered: "Sister-in-law, it must be earned, you see that man is smiling happily."

Li Sanniang turned her head and saw the man selling fruit, she was really grinning very happily, after all the pockets on his chest were filled with copper coins, it looked heavy, there must be a lot.

"It's good to make money, otherwise it's really not worth it if you spend so much effort and don't make money."

Everyone strolled around the West Market for half a circle. There was so much excitement that the eyes couldn't see it.

The sun was setting on this day.

Therefore, everyone found a restaurant and shared two tables in the lobby of the restaurant, which allowed a group of more than ten people to sit down.

Li Dalang carefully put the honeydew melon in his hand at his feet, he bought it specially in the West Market, so that he could take it home and keep it for Brother Li to eat.

"I knew I should have taken the two small baskets in the carriage, so there is a place to put the things I bought."

Mrs. Li looked at the honeydew melon Li Dalang put on the ground, the large pomegranates Li Erlang was holding, and the bunch of candies Li Sanlang was holding and said.

"Aniang, go to the carriage and horse shop in a while and find our car and put it down, there is no delay."

The servant came up to ask what to order, and Mother Li pointed to Sister-in-law Li and said, "My daughter-in-law is the master."

The servant then turned to Mrs. Li and reported the name of the dish. Mrs. Li asked about the seasoning in detail before ordering a table of dishes according to everyone's taste.

As soon as the order was finished, the servant brought tea and refreshments.

"It's barley tea." Li Sanniang didn't drink it yet, she knew it just by smelling it.

Father Li picked up the teacup and took a sip before nodding his head: "The shopkeeper of this restaurant also has a heart, and the tea is delicious after being roasted."

By the time everyone had finished their meals, it was already past the curfew time in the past.

While wiping Luzhu'er's hands, Li Sanniang looked at the door, there were indeed quite a lot of people on the street.

Thanks to the blessing of Emperor Wu's birthday today, the shops and street vendors in Chang'an City will have to earn a lot.

"Just asked the shopkeeper, if you go up to the second floor here, you can also see the fireworks in the imperial city."

"Aye, can you still go to release the river lanterns? I want to go."

Xiao Shilang has been thinking about the river lantern that he didn't put on when he fell asleep last time, and he has already told Brother Li three times about setting up the river lantern today.

Brother Li rubbed Xiao Shiro's hair, nodded: "Don't worry, after watching the fireworks, Aye will take you to set off the river lantern."

Not everyone would watch the fireworks in this restaurant, so when it was almost Xu time, everyone from the Li family went up to the second floor with the shopkeeper's permission.

There were also quite a few people on the second floor. Looking at it now, there were three or five families that were the same as the Li family. A whole family came out, some old and some young.

At midnight, Li Sanniang, who was holding Lu Zhuer, looked towards the direction of the imperial city. Following a sudden sound, there was the most magnificent scene under the night sky.

Of course, Li Sanniang, who has seen all kinds of fireworks shows in modern times, doesn't think that the fireworks with only two or three colors and patterns at this time are so exciting.

However, with my big baby in my arms, and a family of blood relatives beside me, how can I not be happy when I see the beautiful fireworks shining in the sky?
