Accompanied by Jing Yi, the prince walked among the crowd, it was extremely leisurely, like visiting a famous place.After walking halfway, he finally saw a calligraphy and painting stall, the prince's eyes lit up, "Sixth brother, let's go over there and have a look."

The guards nodded yes, and escorted the two of them to the calligraphy and painting booth.

The stall owner was an old man in his fifties, with a gray beard under his chin, and wearing a white robe.Although it looks a bit down and out, it is very neat.The vendors on the whole street were bustling with activity, but he alone was a bit deserted. When he saw them coming up, he came over to say hello in a neither humble nor overbearing way, "What do you guys want to see?"

Xue Yao is not good at calligraphy and painting, and he can't see what is good or bad, so he took a few glances and then moved his eyes to other places.Seeing that the old man knew that his party was the patron, but he didn't welcome him at all, he couldn't help but take a second look.Sensing that someone was looking at him, the old man raised his head and met Xue Yao's eyes without avoiding it, which made Xue Yao feel a little embarrassed, and turned his head away.

Only Jing Yi looked at it very carefully. He picked up a painting and didn't let go for a long time. The prince himself didn't seem to have much interest in these paintings. Said, "Sixth brother, do you like it?" Without waiting for an answer, he called the boss over, "Old man, wrap up your calligraphy and paintings."

Hearing what he said, the old man walked up to Jing Yi, "Master likes this painting."

Jing Yi nodded slightly.

The old man smiled, "My lord, if you tell me the beauty of my painting, I'll sell you, if you can't tell me, please return this painting to me." , is a person who is proud of his talent.

Seeing the old man ignoring him, the prince's face darkened, and Chang Gui's face was full of anger, "You bold old man, we are too... our son bought your paintings because we think highly of you, and you are so ignorant."

The prince scolded with a bad face, "Shut up." Even though he was ignored, it's not easy for Jing Yi to have a fit here.

Chang Gui snorted before retreating.

The old man ignored them and only looked at Jing Yi.

"Although this painting depicts mountains and rivers, the artistic conception is beyond the mountains and rivers." Jing Yi pointed to the lonely man in the painting. , means that he has the courage to walk alone in the world. The direction he is heading is a village with bright peach blossoms. Strange, but actually it means that this man is not afraid of the wind and frost, not afraid of the age, only for the ideal in his heart, and the determination to go to death. If possible, I am willing to hand the man an umbrella. "Jing Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "The brushwork is not sophisticated enough, and the paper used is not top-grade. The splashes of ink are a little stagnant, but the artistic conception is really good. So, old man, you are willing to sell this painting to me."

When Jing Yi spoke, the old man nodded repeatedly.However, Xue Yao was extremely shocked. He even had the illusion that he was the man in the painting, and he hoped that he would also have the courage to move forward.

The old man put away the painting a little excitedly, and handed it carefully to Jing Yi, "Master, this painting is for you."

Huzi was delighted when he heard it, "You old man, you insist on giving it away when you buy it. No wonder you are so poor. What kind of business is this?"

Xue Yao said in his heart that you know what a fart, and kicked him hard from behind.The painful Huzi yelled "Ouch".Several guards thought that something was wrong, so they all looked this way.Suddenly there were several screams from the front, and someone shouted loudly,

"It's not good, someone killed someone, run away."

"The mob is killing people, run away."

All of a sudden, the whole night market was in chaos, with turbulent crowds running around, women's screams and children's cries filled my ears.The guards were so scared that they hurriedly protected the prince and Jing Yi in the middle, and they didn't care about whether to paint or not.Someone kept shouting, "Don't run, don't run around."

Huzi was frightened and stupid, "My God, there are mobs at the foot of the imperial city."

Xue Yao hurriedly pulled him away, "What are you crying about, run away."

The prince was even more anxious, and while backing away, he shouted to the guards to protect Jing Yi, but the crowd surged, and they rushed out wherever they could stop, and rushed out of the prince and Jing Yi at once.

Shocked, Jing Yi yelled, "Xi Nian."

"Your Highness, don't panic, I'm here." Xue Yao had been paying attention to Jing Yi all the time. Seeing this, he hurriedly protected him behind his back. After a while, Hu Zi also squeezed over. Tightly protect Jing Yi and back away.

Seeing someone rushing directly into the encirclement of the guards and approaching the prince, Chang Gui raised his knife in his hand and said fiercely, "Brothers, anyone who approaches the prince will be killed without mercy." The words fell to the guards They showed their weapons one after another, good guys, regardless of whether they are male or female, old or young, anyone who gets close to them will be chopped with a knife.Seeing them acting like this here, Xue Yao knew it was cruel but had no other choice. At this time, those who were swarming up could not tell whether they were enemies or friends. In order to protect the Lord, he had no choice but to hold the sword in his hand and protect Jing Yi from the back withdraw.Before the mob came, their place was already bright red.

Although Chang Gui and others were so cruel, they were still dispersed by the fleeing crowd. After a while, looking around, the prince and others had disappeared. Xue Yao and Hu Zi had to try their best to keep Jing Yi and find a relatively safe place .Seeing that it was safe, Jing Yi dared to let go of Xue Yao's arm, and said worriedly, "I don't know what happened to Heyue and Xiaoba."

Only then did Xue Yao remember that the eighth princess didn't know what was going on, and his heart sank into the valley.

Huzi spat and wiped the blood splashed on his face at some point, "I'll go find the eighth princess."

At this time, almost all the people ran away, and the night market beaches on both sides were also smashed to pieces. Things rolled to the ground, and blood and stumps were everywhere on the ground. Only the real mob showed their true colors. A group of people dressed in rags People with disheveled hair snatched scattered things around, and a few people dressed in the same clothes mixed among the mob with knives, killing anyone they saw, and some women and children who did not escape in time naturally suffered.

"Don't worry," Xue Yao pulled Hu Zi, "Look, these people outside." Hu Zi took a closer look, and cursed, "This group of dogs and wolves raised them, and they don't even let their children go." Pass."

Xue Yao was speechless, this guy was going to chat to death.
