After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

At noon, after three hundred gongs, the left and right Jinwu guards, who were supposed to leave the imperial city and walk along the 108 streets of Chang'an, shouting, "Jinwu curfew, people are not allowed to walk at night," now gathered at the Suzaku Gate, waiting for the orders from the left and right Jinwu guards' generals standing on the Suzaku Gate.

"All troops, enter the forbidden area!" an order came down.

"Yes." From the Jinwu Guard generals to the Jinwu Guard infantry, they retreated into the Forbidden City in two teams. The Anshang and Hanguang gates were also slowly closed. After a while, the four generals in charge reported together.

After the two generals had inquired about the number of people and verified that they were correct, they said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has issued a special decree. From now on, the Jinwu will relax the ban within three days, and officials and civilians can enjoy themselves together!"

The cheers of the people began to resound in all the quarters. In the open space in the center of the West Market, a large area of ​​sparks suddenly appeared. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the sounds of pipa, huqin, qiang flute, and jiu drum rang out at the same time. Hundreds of Hu people were seen performing Hu operas while breathing dragon fire. Surrounding them were a group of people wearing colorful clothes and colorful lion masks.

Bi Fei was lying on the railing, watching with great interest the performance of the Hu People's Hundred Plays Troupe not far away.

Drinking Tusu wine, Pei Jiaoran tilted his head to look outside, "There are the most people on the street right now. We are in a good position, so we don't need to go down to see."

"Water crystal cups, Persian brocade... Today the owner is on holiday, so we'll sell whatever you want. You can choose whatever you want!"

The shouting of the Hu merchant downstairs reached her ears, and Bi Fei leaned half of her body out to look around.

"Forget it. It would be nice to go downstairs for a walk." Pei Jiaoran stood up first and walked downstairs.

Outside the Hu Si, the shouts of the Hu merchants became clearer. In the center of the field was a Hu performance troupe that attracted many people to stop and watch. The Hu merchants who set up stalls around took this opportunity to shout at the top of their voices to attract people who were watching the performances to come to their stalls to buy.

"This is a smooth and delicate piece of Khotan jade. You can buy it and inlay it on gold to make a hairpin or a pendant. Hey, gentlemen and ladies over there, come and have a look! If you buy my jade, you can make a pendant and we will be together forever. If you buy it now, I will give you a Persian carpet as a gift. If you don't buy it, I will jump into the Wei River."

Today is not only the New Year's Eve reunion day, but also a good day for year-end clearance. The merchants from the East Market came to the West Market early to wait, and now their singing and sighing, full of charm, were all disrupted by the shouting of the foreign merchants. The merchants from the East Market frequently looked sideways, looked at each other and started singing in Mandarin.

On one side there were shouts and on the other side there were songs. Soon a lot of people gathered on both sides.

While the two sides were still competing with each other, the Hu people over there suddenly began to perform magic. A colorful rope flew out of his sleeve, and the rope suddenly soared into the sky and went straight into the clouds.

"Girl, look quickly." Bi Fei pointed at the colored rope.

Looking over there, I saw the illusionist climbing up like a monkey, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

"Hey, the person...the person is missing!"

"Where have people gone?"

A soft song came from the clouds. The magician who had just soared into the clouds was now carrying a flying goddess, circling down from the clouds along a colorful rope. As the flying goddess flew, petals fell from her hands.

Staring at the flying goddess who was flying down and getting closer and closer to them, Pei Jiaoran pulled Bi Fei back a step without leaving a trace.

Seeing that the door was not opened, the Flying Goddess turned her eyes to Pei Jiaoran, smiled and stretched out her hand to her. He held the Flying Goddess's outstretched hand and flew up with her using the force.

The two flew hand in hand in mid-air, their sleeves fluttering in the wind, and the crowd watching below cheered continuously.

In the blink of an eye, before the crowd could react, the flying goddess suddenly fell from the colorful rope and fell directly to the ground. She lay there wailing in pain.

"Why did you fall down out of nowhere?"

"Should we ask a doctor to take a look? It looks like he fell pretty hard."

Ignoring the surprised looks and discussions of the people around him, Pei Jiaoran leaned over and pulled out a soft sword from the waist of the Flying Goddess, with a slight smile on his face. The illusionist on the side saw the change and rushed into the deep alley on the side. But he was forced back by Pei Zhanran holding a sword.

"What's going on?" someone in the crowd asked in surprise.

Pei Jiaoran kicked the dejected Flying Goddess and sneered, "They used magic as a cover to kidnap people. Uncle Boyu, go inform the nearest military marquis to come here and take the people away."

Cui Boyu left upon hearing this, and the illusionist was forced back by Pei Zhanran. He and the Flying Goddess were tied to a pillar on the side of the restaurant.

The sound of pointing was heard everywhere. The Hu people's troupe that was performing here just now was nowhere to be seen.

"Girl, how did you find out?" Bi Fei asked in a low voice.

"When the illusionist went up just now, I noticed that he was staring at you, so I was on guard. I didn't expect that they would dare to kidnap people in public." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, "I think that the Huren Opera Troupe probably has a lot of people they kidnapped along the way."

"Girl, why don't we just go and wipe them out at once. If you can accomplish this, it will be a great achievement for you." Bi Fei said angrily with anger in his eyes.

"The West Market is full of people of all kinds, and it's New Year's Eve. It may be difficult to find them." Pei Jiaoran looked around and said in a slow voice, "But don't worry. I will let the Jinwu Guards get to the bottom of this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of Jinwu Guards came to the door of the restaurant against the crowd. The leading general saw Pei Jiaoran and was about to salute, but was stopped by someone.

"No need to be so polite. The people are here, send them to the prison in Chang'an County." Pei Jiaoran instructed.

"I obey your command." The leading Jinwu Guard waved his hand to signal the accompanying soldiers to step forward and take the two away.

The people who were watching and cursing also left one after another. The restaurant entrance returned to its bustling and noisy state, as if nothing had happened.

"Girl, are you free to come and see the lanterns tomorrow? I heard there's a lantern festival over at Qujiang Lake, where they can release river lanterns." Bi Fei took Zhou Mancao's arm, "Let's go together and make a wish and pray for blessings."

"I'm afraid not. Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday, so I don't have time to spare. We still have a few days off, so how about we go to Mount Li to take a hot spring bath together?" Pei Jiaoran said in a gentle voice.

Just as Bi Fei was about to answer, a huge explosion suddenly sounded not far away. Several gorgeous fireworks exploded overhead, reflecting in the night sky.

Staring at the fireworks above his head, Pei Jiaoran seemed to remember something. He whispered the word "apology" and rushed into the crowded crowd without looking back. In the blink of an eye, he was submerged in the crowd.

"What is she doing?" Everyone looked confused.

"The girl is heading to Jingzhao Yin. Today is New Year's Eve, so some things are quite appropriate." Zhou Mancao said in a deep voice.
