"all will be good……"

Yi Huawei looked calm and said nonchalantly: "What's more, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be many opportunities to have children in the future. Just let fate take its course."

Not to mention immortality, at least you can live for two thousand years. Even if you only give birth once every hundred years, you can still give birth to as many as twenty babies. Why would you need to worry about not having heirs in the future?

After saying this, Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, and he looked up at the snow flying all over the sky outside the window. Suddenly, a trace of elegance came to his heart, and he smiled at the few people and said, "Don't worry about it anymore, and go out for a walk. I heard that there is a lantern festival in the South City today. Are you ladies interested in going to watch it together?"

The four girls, Lu Zhi, Chen Xi, Qiu Ju and Cai Yu, suppressed their thoughts, smiled at each other, and nodded in agreement.

After a while, several people came out dressed in new clothes.

Chenxi was wearing a moon-white brocade cape with fur trims at the collar and cuffs, which was not only warm but also elegant. Under the cape was a dark purple brocade robe with gold embroidery, with a ribbon of the same color tied around the waist, which perfectly outlined her slender waist. Her black hair was tied up high, with a mutton-fat jade hairpin inserted diagonally in it. Her face was dignified and beautiful, her eyes were bright and deep, and her gaze revealed an aura of majesty without anger.

Lu Zhi wore a light pink plush cape with a plain silk skirt underneath. Her hair was braided into an exquisite double-ring bun, hanging down on her shoulders. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she exuded a fresh breath.

Qiu Ju changed into a dark blue cotton coat, on which a few elegant chrysanthemums were embroidered with fine needlework, adding a bit of vitality to this plain dress. She wore a brown fur shawl on the outside, giving people a sense of simplicity and stability. Her hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin, her face was round, and her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and demure. Although her figure was not as tall as Lu Zhi, she was also exquisite, and her every move showed the gentleness of a beautiful girl from a small family.

Cai Yu's outfit was the most unique, a black brocade dress with a circle of red flames embroidered on the hem, which was particularly eye-catching in the plain winter outfit. She wore a red cape and her hair was tied up in a high bun. Her face was gorgeous and cold, with eyebrows like distant black and lips like cherry blossoms.

Afterwards, the few people did not take the carriage, but only brought a few guards, and leisurely walked out of the prime minister's residence and headed towards the South City.

...............

In the city of Xianyang, workshops carefully made numerous lanterns according to the styles drawn by painters, and on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month, they were hung one by one in the streets and alleys by special personnel.

The banks of the Orchid Pond in front of the Orchid Palace and even the inside of the pond are decorated with lanterns of various shapes and colors. The falling snow makes everything seem like a dream in the silvery white world.

Before it was completely dark, the lanterns of all sizes hanging between trees or under the eaves had been lit, and the heavy snow fell endlessly, interweaving with the soft orange and fiery red lights. The square was covered with colorful lights, some as small as a palm and some as large as several meters, in various shapes and sizes, creating a spectacular sight.

Before it was completely dark, the local people of Xianyang and the people who came from all the counties in Guanzhong had already come out in droves. The nobles and the young men and women from the rich families in the city also dressed up in gorgeous clothes and walked out of the gates in twos and threes.

A stage was built in the center of the square. The actors' humorous performances made the crowd laugh. The wrestlers faced off against each other, their muscles tense. Every movement was full of power and skill, and the people around them exclaimed from time to time. The foot performers were agile and moved around in a dazzling manner. The jugglers showed off their magical powers with a variety of tricks.

Countless children were running and playing freely in the snow, with laughter and shouts intertwined. Regardless of the severe cold, they grabbed snowballs with their little hands and threw them hard. The sound of snowball fights penetrated layers of snow and echoed in the night sky of Xianyang city for a long time.

Just after an incense stick of time, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on Yi Huawei's cloak, and the same was true for the four girls.

The flow of people in Xianyang City tonight was unusually high. Although a group of personal guards were working hard to clear the way, they were still moving very slowly. The personal guards were often knocked down by the surging flow of people, and the originally tight guard formation gradually became loose.

Seeing that it was difficult to maintain their formation, the Black Dragon Guards had to change their strategy and use cleverness and brute force to squeeze out a passage through the crowd to prevent everyone from being dispersed.

Qiu Ju and Cai Yu were pushed by the crowd and gradually pressed against Yi Huawei's back. They held Yi Huawei's arms tightly with both hands, their faces full of tension. Chen Xi and Lu Zhi held the corners of Yi Huawei's clothes tightly, and looked at the chaotic crowd around them with vigilant eyes, trying to keep their balance and not be swept away by the crowd.

Suddenly, the crowd in front of them dispersed to both sides like a tide. In the panic, people fell to the ground from time to time, and miserable cries came one after another. Amidst the cries, a few arrogant laughs seemed particularly abrupt and harsh.

Then, the muffled sound of horse whips hitting people was heard, along with shrill screams. The people, who were already running in all directions, ran even faster. The wide road instantly became a mess, with cries and shouts filling every corner.

Only the center of the street where Yi Huawei and his group were standing was not affected by the sudden chaos because of the full protection of dozens of personal guards.

"Pa pa pa!" There were a few more crisp whip sounds, but this time it was the sound of the whip hitting the air and did not hit the human body.

"You lowlifes, get out of here! Haha!"

Along with the sound of whipping, a vicious young man's voice sounded in front.

"Haha! Brother Meng is so awesome!" As soon as the vicious voice fell, several flattering cheers rang out.

Yi Huawei frowned, his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, he raised his head slightly, looked over the crowd, trying to see what was happening in front of him. Lu Zhi looked calm, she gently patted Yi Huawei's arm and whispered: "Husband, don't be impulsive, take a look at the situation first."

The Black Dragon Guards quickly formed a tight circle, protecting Yi Huawei and the others in the middle. They held their bodies tense, held weapons in their hands, and glanced around vigilantly.

The leader, Long Liu, gave an order in a low voice: "Be alert. If there is any unusual movement, counterattack immediately!"

At this time, the crowd in front gradually dispersed, and several young men in gorgeous clothes were seen riding tall horses and slowly walking towards them.

The man in the lead, surnamed Meng, looked slightly tipsy, with a look of arrogance and unruliness in his eyes. He waved a whip in his hand, whipping the air wantonly, with an arrogant smile on his face. The young masters behind him followed with flattering looks on their faces, and their horses trampled on the snow and debris on the roadside from time to time.

"Sir, shall I drive these people away?"

A dragon guard bowed slightly to Yi Huawei and asked in a low voice. Just as Yi Huawei was about to respond, a voice that was even more arrogant than the previous one came out loudly.

"Oh, Brother Meng, look, I said these lowly people are getting bolder and bolder. There are even people who dare to stand in the middle of the road and block our way!"

The people on the street were driven to both sides of the street and crowded together. They were filled with resentment, but could only dare not speak out. They stared with fiery eyes at the few evil young men occupying the center of the avenue.

Yi Huawei looked up and saw two ordinary-dressed mother and daughter surrounded by the group of evil young men. The woman looked to be in her thirties, and the years had left some traces on her face, but it was hard to hide her lingering charm. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes full of vigilance and uneasiness, and he subconsciously protected his daughter behind him. The daughter was in her twenties, and looked pretty and charming. In this icy and snowy world, her fair face was slightly reddened by the cold, just like a red plum blossom blooming in the snow. At this moment, she was tightly holding the corner of her mother's clothes, and her timid appearance was lovable. Meng Tai turned over and dismounted, wearing a gorgeous fox fur-trimmed brocade robe and a jade crown on his head, but there was a sense of frivolity and arrogance between his eyebrows. Playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand, he staggered to the mother and daughter, circled around them, and his eyes unscrupulously scanned the mother and daughter, and made a sound of tut-tut:

"It's snowing heavily, and the young lady and the beautiful lady are not staying at home to keep warm, but are coming out to enjoy the lanterns. What a coincidence. Could it be that they came here on purpose to meet me?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gently lifted the woman's chin with the finger wearing the jade ring.

The woman turned her head away in disgust, but he didn't care. Instead, he laughed wildly.

Several young thugs nearby also laughed. One of them, a fellow with a face full of flesh, shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Meng, this big beauty is attractive, and the little beauty is even more tender!"

After hearing this, Meng Tai's smile became even wider. He suddenly reached out to pull the daughter. Seeing this, the mother hurriedly blocked him with her body and shouted: "You evil people, how dare you tease a decent woman in broad daylight? Is there any law?"

Meng Tai sneered: "The king's law? In this Qin Dynasty, I am the king's law!"

The people around saw this scene, their fists clenched, their knuckles turned white, but they had no choice but to loosen their fists. They knew the power of the Mengtai family in the city, and if they acted rashly, they would probably bring disaster upon themselves.

At this time, the woman who was surrounded in the middle, although her face was full of fear, still forced herself to remain calm and said loudly: "Do you know who my husband is? He is guarding the border and serving the Qin Dynasty. If he knew what you did today, he would definitely not let you off easily!"

The woman's voice was trembling slightly, but full of warning.

Meng Tai was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "So what if he is just a border guard? How can a small soldier like him turn the world upside down? In Xianyang City, it is not his turn to take care of my affairs."

After saying this, a trace of ferocity appeared on his face, and he had already decided in his heart to kidnap the mother and daughter and bring them back to his house to have fun. With a wave of his hand, several evil young men pounced on the mother and daughter even more arrogantly.

"Husband!"

Chenxi saw this outrageous scene from the side. Her eyes widened instantly, her pretty face flushed red, and the angry blush quickly spread to her ears. She could no longer suppress her anger and swung her arms vigorously: "How dare they act so recklessly? Teach them a lesson!"

Just as several Black Dragon Guards received the order and were about to take action, Yi Huawei raised his arm slightly and waved his hand gently: "Wait!"

Several Black Dragon Guards stopped instantly and turned to look at Yi Huawei.

"Husband?!"

Chenxi looked at Yi Huawei in surprise, her eyes full of confusion. She didn't understand why Yi Huawei wanted to stop her at this critical moment.

"Look down first!"

Yi Huawei just spoke lightly, his voice was low but clearly audible. His eyes slowly swept over everything around him, revealing a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He wanted to see how the city patrol officer, who was responsible for maintaining law and order, would handle this incident.

As the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City's public security management system underwent many changes and adjustments.

In the past, the garrison troops were solely responsible for public security issues. The garrison troops were responsible for protecting the security of the capital area and were directly under the Ministry of War, accepting the unified command and deployment of the Ministry of War.

Under the command of Zhao Ben, the former lieutenant of the Lieutenant's Office, sentries were set up in various places in the city and patrols were carried out day and night, which made many contributions to the stability and tranquility of Xianyang City.

Later, with the development of the situation and the changes in urban management needs, the City Patrol Office came into being.

The Patrol City Division integrated the Lieutenant's Office and the guards originally stationed in the Xianyang Palace. After a large-scale reorganization and expansion, its number reached more than 65,000. Such a large organization, in theory, should be more than enough to maintain the public security of Xianyang City.

However, Yi Huawei was keenly aware of something unusual at this moment. The guards who usually patrolled the streets in neat uniforms and weapons disappeared without a trace today.

Around the entire square, the familiar patrol figures of the past were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared here. This discovery made Yi Huawei's face darken instantly.

Yi Huawei leaned slightly to the side, put his head close to Long Liu, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words very quickly but clearly. Long Liu had followed Yi Huawei for a long time, so he immediately understood what he meant, and quietly gave a look to the Black Dragon Guards beside him. The few of them had a tacit understanding and quietly went around to the edge of the crowd.

At this time, Meng Tai and others were surrounding the mother and daughter, with arrogant expressions on their faces, constantly spewing foul language, wantonly verbally humiliating the mother and daughter, and constantly reaching out to pull them apart. The evil young men were even more arrogant, grinning and making disgusting laughs, with malicious eyes, as if the mother and daughter were already in their pockets.

One of the young men, who had a face full of flesh, swung his strong arms and pushed an old man who wanted to dissuade him to the ground. He glared at the old man fiercely and shouted, "Old man, stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll punish you too!"

The people around saw this and dared not say anything but retreat, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Just when Meng Tai and the others were all focused on the mother and daughter and were completely defenseless, Long Liu and the others had already circled to the perfect attack position. Long Liu's eyes were stern, and he rushed out like an arrow from a bow. His speed was so fast that he was in front of a young thug in the blink of an eye. Before the young thug could react, Long Liu punched him in the face with a fierce straight punch. With a dull "bang", the young thug's nose instantly bleed, and he let out a shrill scream, and fell backwards.

The other Black Dragon Guards followed closely. One of them took a quick step forward and kicked the other young man on the back of his knee accurately. The young man felt his knee go weak and fell to one knee with a plop. Before he could struggle to get up, the Black Dragon Guard slashed at the back of his neck with a knife. The young man's eyes went black and he fainted.

Some of the Black Dragon Guards directly wrestled with the evil youngster. Relying on their superb fighting skills, the Black Dragon Guards cleverly avoided the evil youngster's wildly swinging fists. Then, finding the right moment, they suddenly grabbed the evil youngster's arms and twisted them hard. With a "click", the evil youngster's arm was dislocated and he screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
