Chapter 223 Refreshing the Heat (6)

The inside and outside of Liuyun Building are separated into two worlds, one moving and one quiet. Lou Xiyue stood up and looked out the window. The noise was accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, which was both noisy and lively.

Wen Jisheng moved to Ban Xiyu's side and suggested, "How about we go out and have a look?"

He and Ban Xiyu have been together for a long time, so it cannot be said that he knows her well, but he probably understands her personality to some extent - isn't she giving up her status as a princess because she wants to see the freedom of fireworks in the world?
Hearing the sound of silence, Ban Xiyu would never stay in a quiet room and be a cold and reserved lonely person just in time for Xunjiang Town's summer festival.

He stared fixedly at her with shiny black eyes, and then said: "To be honest, I haven't seen this summer festival before. Don't you guys wonder what the so-called 'Water Dragon Dance' is?"

Hearing the silent sound, Xiyue raised her chin upstairs and said, "Xiyue, you two would like to stay here so much that you'll be bored, but I can't sit still. I'll take Miss Ban out for a walk in a while, so you two can do what you want, huh?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan glanced at Lou Xiyue first, and was about to speak when Lou Xiyue opened his mouth and said:

"Stop talking to yourself." Lou Xiyue walked a few steps to Ban Xiyu's side: "Since Xiyu wants to see the hustle and bustle of the summer festival, she should be accompanied by me. Besides, Xiyu and I reunited after a long absence, and we still have a lot to say. At this time, please stay away from 'outsiders'."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Ban Xiyu to go outside: "Let's talk outside."

Wen Jisheng watched the two of them go away, sighed in his mouth, and said: "Hey, come on, these two sisters ran away together, then we can only barely be companions."

Fu Guan gave a low "hmm": "Then let's go and have a look." He said "please", and immediately walked into the bustling market.

Lou Xiyue took Ban Xiyu out from the side door, and after passing through the narrow alley, there was the bustling West Street.

As the two walked along the street, there were vendors hawking everywhere, fruit tea stalls and stalls selling jewellery, household and gadgets, and the sound of children playing and playing was everywhere.

Lou Xiyue bought two small lanterns made of lotus from a street vendor, and walked slowly side by side with Ban Xiyu. Gradually, the two came to a small stone bridge.

Ban Xiyu looked at the bustling scenes in the streets and alleys, and suddenly laughed: "The scene in front of me seems familiar."

When Lou Xiyue thought of something, she also smiled knowingly: "You and I met for the first time, and it was also on the same summer festival night, and it was also on a bridge."

None of them thought that they would meet by such a coincidence after passing by in a hurry on the stone bridge.And precisely because of that secret encounter, the fate of the two was completely rewritten.

Lou Xiyue asked: "I haven't had time to ask you yet, what are your future plans? When are you planning to return to Banfu? There are no outsiders here, so you can explain to me what you think and what concerns you have."

Ban Xiyu lowered her head and was silent for a moment: "I... I don't know." She said: "Your plan for revenge has not been completed yet, and I have not yet fulfilled my last wish to pay back my lord. Perhaps, the change of identity can be delayed for a while."

Lou Xiyue: "Do you...don't want to go back?"

Ban Xiyu didn't say yes or no.She said: "Xiyue, do you know, in fact, at this age, I never thought that one day I would 'run away from home'.

"Leaving the Huaijiang Mansion and getting rid of the shackles of being a princess, I feel another new life." She smiled shyly and said:
"Although walking in the rivers and lakes is indeed very difficult... I remember one time, Brother Wen and I planned to go to the next township to settle down before dark, but there was an accident on the way——

"Our horses were exhausted and refused to leave no matter what. In desperation, we had no choice but to find a dilapidated thatched hut in the deep mountains and old forests."

Ban Xiyu recalled what happened at that time, and still couldn't help laughing: "As soon as we entered the room, the debris on the left and right sides suddenly fell down, which shocked us."

She explained: "At that time, we had just come from Linzhou City, and we had thrown off several killers who were following us on the way. Seeing this scene, we thought it was the killers chasing up again and launching a sneak attack! Brother Wen drew out his sword vigilantly, but it was a false alarm."

Lou Xiyue could probably imagine the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing: "What happened later? What was hidden in that room?"

Ban Xiyu smiled and said, "There's nothing hidden. It's just a wild cat scared by our movement."

The wild cat was very timid, and when it saw a stranger, it was scared out of its wits, and ran like a gust of wind.

She wanted to feed the stray cats some snacks, but unfortunately, they didn't have much dry food left.The two of them also ate half full and did not set off until the next day.

During the days when Hewen Jisheng traveled around the rivers and lakes, there were many interesting things like this.Ban Xiyu recalled carefully, although the process was difficult, it was also full of fun.

"Of course, what I have experienced is not as bloody as the past between you and Brother Wen." Ban Xiyu said: "However, what I have seen and heard can be regarded as a life-and-death experience, which is another kind of thrill and excitement."

Lou Xiyue was quite puzzled: "Then aren't you afraid? If you can be a class lady in peace, you won't have to worry about your life. Traveling in the rivers and lakes, life and death are unpredictable, if something goes wrong..."

"If something goes wrong, I don't complain about it." Ban Xiyu said, "I am also a mortal body, so how can I not be afraid when life is at stake? It's just that I think, with Brother Wen around, my heart is always more at ease. Besides..."

She walked down the stone bridge, her eyebrows were as gentle as ever: "Although stability is good, it is not the life I want to live. Although traveling in the rivers and lakes is difficult and dangerous, what Brother Wen and I do is much more meaningful than sitting in a boudoir and being a virtuous and virtuous woman."

After leaving Ban's mansion, she followed Wen Jisheng to fight for justice. Although there were very limited things she could do, Ban Xiyu felt that her trip was worthwhile when she thought of the people who were rescued.

"I don't think my parents would object to me doing this if they were still alive," she said.

Lou Xiyue: "You're right." When she thought of her own father, a famous general who died protecting the people of Xuan Kingdom, she also understood where Ban Xiyu's chivalrous heart came from——

Probably inherited from his father Ban Zhao.

Ban Xiyu: "Talking about me, what about you, Xiyue? After revenge, what are your plans?"

"Am I..." In fact, Lou Xiyue didn't think about this question carefully: "If there is a chance, it's good to be able to return to the Banfu, but I'm different from you. I've always been used to being carefree, and it must be because I can't adapt to the rules of the aristocratic family."

She said: "It is impossible for me to be a dignified lady. Even if I go back to Ban Mansion, I may only stay for a few days, and then I will still have to travel the rivers and lakes."

It's just that after having the bond of family, I will go back to Ban's mansion every New Year's festival to meet Ban Xiyu and the second elder of the Ban family.

Ban Xiyu immediately asked: "Then, is there no King Xuanping in your future plans?"
