Chapter 781 Winter Solstice
Chapter 781 Winter Solstice
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will be the winter solstice in a blink of an eye.

The winter solstice is also called sub-year-old, and Fengcheng usually has the custom of worshiping ancestors, eating dumplings and reunion during the winter solstice.

Every year on this day, all walks of life in Fengcheng have a day off to rest and bathe the whole city, and the City Lord's Mansion is no exception.

The servants who were on duty in the City Lord's Mansion packed up their things and left the mansion at dawn, and only one-third of the imperial guards remained on duty, and the rest went home for the winter solstice.

The huge city lord's mansion suddenly emptied out, which made Mu Mian a little uncomfortable. She suggested: "Husband, I want to eat dumplings tonight. Anyway, I'm free, why don't we make dumplings ourselves?"

"Okay, Mrs. Duyi." After Feng Yun finished speaking, he raised his hand to invite Xu Ming, and ordered: "Go to the dining room and order down, prepare the ingredients for making dumplings."

"Yes, City Lord." Xu Ming responded, turned and retreated.

"Amian, it's windy today, so wear more." Feng Yun took out a cloak to cover Mu Mian's shoulders, and carefully helped her fasten it.

"It won't be cold after I get busy in the dining room in a while." Mu Mian replied with a smile, then slipped into Feng Yun's arms, restrained her smile, and asked in a low voice: "Husband, do you think he will really show up today?" body?"

Feng Yun hugged Mu Mian, and said in a calm tone: "Such a good opportunity, I think he won't miss it."

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then came to the dining room holding hands.

On weekdays, there are about twenty cooks and handymen on duty in the dining room, but today there are only three left, A Chai, a small fire worker, Ruoqiu, a handyman girl, and Jiang Sheng, a cook.

Xu Ming took the first step and ordered the three to prepare the ingredients for making dumplings. Ruoqiu A Chai Jiangsheng stood aside respectfully, greeting the mayor and his wife: "I have met the mayor, I have met the mayor's wife."

"Exemption." Feng Yun glanced over the three of them, and landed on the dumpling wrapper and meat stuffing on the stove, and then stood on the dining table with Mu Mian to make dumplings.

Mu Mian said: "Let's all start working. Let's make more dumplings today so that everyone in the house can eat dumplings together."

"Yes, thank you, Madam of the City Mistress, it is a great fortune to be able to eat dumplings made by the Mistress of the City Mistress and his wife during the winter solstice." Ruo Qiu said, rolling up his sleeves to help, and Xu Ming also joined in when he saw this.

A Chai turned on the fire with a muffled sound, while Jiang Sheng started to cook other dishes. You can't just eat one dumpling during the winter solstice.

Everyone worked together and were extremely busy.

After about an hour, several stacks of large drawer baskets were piled up on the stove, which were full of wrapped dumplings. According to the number of people on duty today, one more basket would be enough to eat.

The fire in the stove is very hot, and the other dishes are almost cooked, and the hot water is also boiling, waiting for the dumplings to be put into the pot.

A Chai wiped his sweat frequently, his cheeks were flushed in the firelight, Ruo Qiu walked over and asked softly: "A Chai, is there something wrong with you? Would you like me to help you burn for a while?"

A Chai dropped the firewood in his hand, stood up and said, "That's troublesome, I'm too hot with too many clothes on, I'll take off my clothes when I go back to the house."

"Okay, let's go." Ruo Qiu replied with a smile.

"City lord, the younger ones will come as soon as they go." After A Chai asked the city lord for instructions, he turned and left the dining room.

Feng Yun looked at A Chai's back thoughtfully, and he could tell that the food in the dining room was good, and even the little fireman was so tall.

Wait, no.

Feng Yun suddenly thought of something, dropped the dumpling in his hand, glanced at Mu Mian, and said, "I'm going out to get some air."

"Yeah." Mu Mian nodded, Xu Ming was about to follow, when he reached the door, Feng Yun ordered Xu Ming: "Go back and protect Madam, you can't leave even a single step..."

"Yes..." The city lord was careful, and Xu Ming swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

After A Chai left the dining room, he returned to the residence. He took out a bronze mirror from under the bed sheet and looked at his face. The fire just now was too hot, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the human skin mask on his face did not fall off.

However, it is still early, if the human skin mask is to be stable, it is best to tear it off and stick it tighter.

A Chai locked the door, closed the window, and tore off the human skin mask on his face.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and Ah Chai immediately stuck the human skin mask to his face, fumbling for a while before getting close.

He walked to the door and listened to the movement outside, but the footsteps just now disappeared.

Could it be that he heard wrong?

He took a deep breath, opened the door, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

Passing through several small paths, he saw a person standing in front of him. From the back of that person, it could be seen that it was undoubtedly the city lord Feng Yun.

"City Master... why are you here?" A Chai asked after wiping off his sweat.

"Thousand-faced Ghost Lord, it's a pleasure to meet you. Now that you're here, let's have a sparring session!" As soon as Feng Yun's words fell, he immediately flew towards A Chai.

A Chai was startled, and hurriedly dodged back, wanting to cry but without tears, said: "City Lord, did you recognize the wrong person? I am not some ghost with thousands of faces, I am A Chai."

Feng Yun snorted coldly, although his tone was light, but his murderous intent was strong: "Oh? Really? I suspect that you are you, just take it!"

A Chai didn't accept the move, Feng Yun sent him flying with one palm, fell heavily on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Why didn't you accept the move?" Feng Yun frowned, he believed that he would not miss his eyes, and continued to use aggressive tactics: "I would rather kill a hundred by mistake and not let one go. There is no one else around right now. If you really want to This seat's life, now is the best time."

A Chai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked around. Right now, he was in a secluded path in Xiyuan. There were not many guards on duty in the City Lord's Mansion today, so now is indeed a good time.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he changed his previous timidity, and jumped towards Feng Yun, "You guessed right, I'm here to take your life, just die!"

The two started fighting, and Ah Chai struck fiercely, Zhao Zhao wanted to take Feng Yun's life.

Originally, he thought that if Feng Yun had no bodyguards to protect him, he would definitely not be his opponent, but he seemed to underestimate the enemy too much.

Feng Yun's own strength is very strong, stronger than any opponent that A Chai has met before.

But he wasn't bad either. After more than a dozen rounds, the two were tied.

There is no way for Ah Chai to go on like this, this is the city lord's mansion after all, and the guards on duty will arrive soon.

It seems to be a trick.

A Chai used [-]% of his strength to attack Feng Yun with one palm.

In his prediction, this palm would definitely kill Feng Yun.

Feng Yun met the palm, and when the palms met, both of them took a few steps back.

A Chai spat out a mouthful of blood, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Feng Yun's mouth.

"I can't see that you have hidden your strength so deeply that you can't take your life today, so you can take it another day." A Chai glanced at Feng Yun, turned and ran away.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and when the guards came to escort him, A Chai's figure had already disappeared on the path.

"Chase!" Feng Yun commanded coldly, "Keep alive."
