Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

The dance team is still moving forward.

On the spacious road, gongs and drums cleared the way, followed by cheers, and four slender dancers in neon clothes leaned back together.The high sedan chair carried by sixteen porters is as stable as the ground, and the dancers dance on it, like a dream, like a fairy.

Under the blowing of the night wind, the red silk brushed over the hair tops of the people on both sides, making it more and more gorgeous in the middle of the night.

Xie Zhao was pushed forward, the ear-piercing sound of drums and cheers pierced his ears.

The world is noisy and noisy, everyone is smiling to follow the dance music workshop, reaching out to touch the red silk hanging beside the high sedan chair, but Xie Zhao takes his eyes away from the performance in the dance music workshop, and unconsciously begins to observe the surroundings people.

Festivals with dance band performances are always grand, Xie Zhao suspected that all the people in the capital would come out to watch the performance this night.

Parents hold their children, husbands accompany their wives, and under the light, people accompany each other with smiles on their faces.

Xie Zhao noticed that very few people came out to watch the performance alone.

At the end of a dance song, the musicians at the front seemed to be tireless and hit the drum again.

The sudden sound was so loud that it seemed to hit the depths of his mind, Xie Zhao couldn't hold back, and in the end he stretched out his hands to cover his ears.The hustle and bustle of the sky was blocked out in an instant, and the joy and joy of all others went away with it.

Xie Zhao covered his ears, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

He thought: At this time last year, when His Highness covered his ears for him, what was he thinking?When the gongs and drums sounded, what did His Highness say?

Xie Zhao felt a little regretful, he felt that he should break the casserole and ask the end.

Xie Zhao was immersed in his own thoughts, and was suddenly unaware of everything on both sides. Naturally, he didn't know that someone had secretly set his mind on him.

Although he was only wearing a blue uniform, the exquisite patterns on the cuffs were faintly visible.Coupled with his outstanding appearance and clear eyes, in the eyes of caring people, he looks like a rich man with fair skin and tender flesh who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

The purse that Bingwen prepared for him really hid a lot of money, and it was bulging. As early as when Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan were walking together, someone had been following him. After Pei Shaonan left, the person hiding in the dark His expression became more and more relaxed, and he was confident about tonight's actions.

Seeing that Xie Zhao seemed to be disturbed by the music, he covered his ears, and the short man in the crowd not far away couldn't help but chuckle.

He nimbly slipped through the crowd, like a slippery loach, and in the blink of an eye, he pushed through the crowd ten meters away and came behind Xie Zhao.

The performance of the dance band was wonderful, and the sound of the drums did not stop for a moment. Xie Zhao was surrounded by the crowd and was getting closer and closer to the performance team.All kinds of sounds came from around him, and he gradually frowned and covered his ears more tightly.

It's now!

The short man chuckled, staring fixedly at the purse on Xie Zhao's waist, his eyes were full.Just as the drummer was beating the drum again, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, and precisely hit the purse on Xie Zhao's waist!

The crowd rubbing shoulders, the drums resounding through the sky, this is really a night that is too suitable for doing some sneaky things.

Seeing that the purse embroidered with green bamboo patterns was about to fall into his palm, the short man couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth, showing a triumphant smile.

He is a habitual offender, and he is most proud of having a pair of good eyes and a pair of good hands: these eyes can help him find the richest people, and these hands are so clever that they can pick off the purses of those rich people lightly and quickly.

Every year, when the Dance Band performs on the street, it is also a good time for him to come out to earn money.

Just when his right hand touched the soft fabric of the purse, the short man's face could hardly hide his excitement.

But soon, the short man's smile froze on his face.Because he found that his hand was about to take off the purse just now, but after his fingers touched the fabric of the purse, he couldn't move his hand any more.

The short man had no time to care about Xie Zhao. He lowered his head and looked at the hands clasped on his arms, fear gradually appeared in his eyes.

The sound of the drums continued uninterrupted, and the laughter of the crowd covered up the man's cries of pain.

He looked at the hands clasped on his arms, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.The short man couldn't figure it out. These hands looked slender and fair, but why did they hurt so much when they were clasped on his arms?

He felt that the bones in his arm were pinched and hurt.

"Which thing that doesn't have eyes, let go of Grandpa's—"

Tonight's work was in vain, the short man turned his head cursingly, and when he met a pair of cold and clear eyes, the unfinished words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

The young man wearing an ugly mask looked at him coldly without saying a word.

This mask can be seen everywhere at roadside stalls. Even though this young man was wearing this ordinary mask, only revealing a pair of eyes, it made the short man shrink back suddenly.

This person is not easy to mess with.He quickly came to a conclusion.

Seeing that the short man didn't make any more noise, the young man gave him an emotionless look, and finally withdrew his hand.

The mask concealed the young man's face, and the short man couldn't see his expression, he could only hear his cold words.

He said, "Go away."

The voice was deep and pleasant, and the short man rubbed his arms while continuing to look at the young man without any trace.It's a pity that the night was dark, and the young man was wearing a mask again, so the short man couldn't see anything.

"It's really bad luck."

Not only did he lose his money tonight, but he also had a lottery on his body. The short man felt extremely unlucky, so he left in despair after a bah.

The Dance Band continued to walk along Songquan Street, and the crowd also crowded away.

Xie Zhao covered his ears with his hands, and felt a palpitation in his heart, as if driven by some kind of force, he suddenly turned his head and looked back.

The next moment, he froze in place.

The lively crowd hugged the dance band and left, but left one person alone.

The man was wearing a hideous and terrifying mask, standing quietly on the street, looking motionless.This person didn't wear a black gown, didn't show his face, he just stood there, but it made Xie Zhao's blood boil.

Xie Zhao opened his eyes slightly, looking in disbelief.

that person, that person is

The crowd surged and quickly covered the man completely.

Xie Zhao came back to his senses, let go of his hands covering his ears, and the laughter and joy of the whole world hit again.

He turned around, pushed aside the crowd, and shouted anxiously: "Let me go, I'm sorry, let me go—"

But the drums were too loud, and Xie Zhao's shouts were quickly drowned out by the crowd.

He was walking in the opposite direction, bumped into someone on his shoulder, and stepped on his feet several times, but he seemed to have suddenly lost his sense of pain, and without frowning, he just walked straight in the direction of that person with difficulty .

Seeing that he was about to leave and walk out of the crowd, Xie Zhao's eyes became brighter.

He gritted his teeth and pushed through the crowd, thinking silently: finally, finally

Xie Zhao finally rushed away from the crowd.

Standing on the empty street, he looked around blankly, but he could no longer find the person he was looking for.

The masked man was gone.

Xie Zhao blinked, looked down at the somewhat messy clothes, and laughed at himself after a while.

He sighed and muttered to himself: "What am I dreaming about? How could His Highness appear here..."

When he was in a bad mood, Xie Zhao wanted to eat candied chestnuts.

He reached out to touch the bag of fried chestnuts in sugar, but he couldn't find anything after touching for a long time.Xie Zhao realized belatedly that he was rushing out of the crowd just now, and all the bags full of fried chestnuts in sugar had fallen by then.

Xie Zhao rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling discouraged.

A Jinwu guard on duty passed by and saw that Xie Zhao's clothes were a little messy and there were shoe prints on his shoes. For a moment, he thought that something had happened to Xie Zhao, so he nervously stepped forward and asked, "Master Xie, what happened to you?" ?”

Xie Zhao recognized this person as the Jinwu Guard who followed Liao Qingfeng in the past, twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said, "I don't have any serious business, you can go and do your work."

Jin Wuwei looked at his unhappy expression, and asked Chi: "Is it really okay for you to be here alone?"

Xie Zhao smiled: "It's really fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Only then did the Jin Wuwei turn his head and leave.

Xie Zhao turned around, just about to take a step to find Pei Shaonan, when he suddenly felt a weight on his right leg.

Seeing that Xie Zhao bowed his head, the cute boy let go of his hands holding Xie Zhao's right leg.He stretched out his arms towards Xie Zhao, bent his eyes and smiled: "Master Xie, is it better if you hug Ah?"

It took Xie Zhao a while to remember who this boy was.

On the night of the River God Festival last year, after he and His Highness separated, he picked up a boy who had lost his father on the street, and that boy was A Yue.

The long memory was awakened, Xie Zhao smiled helplessly, bent down and hugged Ah Yue in his arms.

His eyes were gentle, he looked at A Yue, and asked softly: "A Yue can't find his father again?"

A Yue naturally put his arms around Xie Zhao's neck, giggling in his ear: "A Yue is not a little fool who gets lost several times a year, A Yue is a smart kid."

He clung to Xie Zhao's ear, and whispered to Xie Zhao: "A Yue came here specially to find Mr. Xie tonight."

Xie Zhao was amused by his childish words.

He rubbed A Yue's head, his eyes were soft: "Well, A Yue is a smart boy." He smiled nonchalantly, and asked casually, "Then why did A Yue come to me?"

A Yue's black and bright eyes were throbbing with excitement.

He handed Xie Zhao a bag of roasted chestnuts in his hand, and said proudly, "Ah Yue is here to send Mrs. Xie roasted chestnuts."

The sugar-fried chestnuts seem to be just out of the oven, and they are still steaming in the hand.

Xie Zhao held A Yue in one hand, took the candied chestnuts in the other, and asked A Yue with a smile: "How does Ah Yue know that I like candied chestnuts?"

"It was told to Ayue by a distinguished personage."

A Yue clasped Xie Zhao's shoulders, lowered his voice and said childishly: "That adult told A Yue that Master Xie likes to eat candied chestnuts, and he also said that Master Xie would be very happy after eating candied chestnuts. "

A Yue smiled and pressed Xie Zhao's forehead to his forehead, and said affectionately: "A Yue is the same as that lord, I hope that lord Xie will be happy every day."

Dim candlelight shines from the houses on the street.

In the dimly lit place, Xie Zhao hugged Ah Yue for a long time unable to speak.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and lightly touched A Yue's forehead with his forehead, which made A Yue rub his forehead and smiled and rolled his eyes.

In A Yue's crisp laughter, he gently promised: "Well, I will."
