After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was full and ready to go to the night market.

Okay, now that we're done eating, let's go shopping! Let's see if there are any new and interesting gadgets we can buy.

By the way, aren’t we going to see a circus today?

Okay, my little princess.

Everyone left the inn with laughter and joy, and strolled along the street.

Sister Yu'er, hurry up, hurry up, there are lantern riddles ahead, let's go and take a look. Oh, there are some for sale here, what is this?

Linglan walked forward curiously, "Hey, where's Sister Yanan? She was just behind us, how come she's gone?"

Linglan and the others turned around and looked around, finally seeing Yanan standing in front of a stall through the crowd. She was motionless.

Linglan walked to Yanan and asked, "Sister Yanan, what are you looking at?"

The two sisters saw Li Yanan standing there in a daze, which was out of character, and looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Linglan asked curiously, "Sister Yanan, what are you looking at?"

Siyu was also a little curious about what happened to Yanan?

Yanan noticed everyone looking at her. She hurriedly looked up and back at them. "Ah! Oh, nothing, nothing." She secretly turned her back and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

The two sisters lowered their heads to see what Yanan was looking at. She was so focused that she couldn't even hear what they were saying to her.

Looking down, I saw that they were small toys for children, including wave drums, slingshots, kites, shuttlecocks, spinning tops, dolls, nine-ring chains, and various kinds of wood carvings.

Siyu and Linglan both looked back at Yanan in confusion. What was going on here? She looked so sad.

Yanan noticed the two men's confusion and fell into deep thought. As they walked, she said, "Hey, I had a few happy years when I was little. In my childhood memories, Daddy and Mom were a loving couple. Whenever Daddy had a day off, he would take Mom and me out for fun. I remember that was when I was three, just starting to remember things. Daddy hadn't married my current Concubine Yue yet. I remember it was during the Lantern Festival, and there were toys like these displayed on the street."

Daddy held the rattle and said to me, "My girl! Do you like this?"

I said happily, I like it, thank you daddy.

My mother asked me again, "Baby, do you like this?"

Mother is holding the doll. I am very happy.

But I was attracted by the wooden sword, so I said to my parents, "Dad, Mom, can I buy this?"

Dad asked me, can our Yanan tell him why you want to buy a wooden sword?

Because Daddy is so powerful, I also want to learn martial arts to protect Mommy. I also want to fight in the battlefield like Daddy and defend my country. But Mommy smiled gently and scolded Daddy, saying, "How can you let a girl learn to wield swords and guns and fight in the battlefield? Or I should learn housework and how to manage the household at home..." But when did everything change so suddenly? Hehehe

The fifth brother looked at the sad face of the girl in front of him, and his heart was also in a knot.

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Yanan was affected by her own emotions. Yanan also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and raised her head again. She said with a smile, "Look at what I am doing? We came out to play together and visit the night market. Why am I talking about this and making you feel bad with me? Okay, let's go to see the acrobatics! I don't want to think about these anymore. It's just that the sudden appearance of things reminded me of the past. So many years have passed and now I am no longer at the age where I need my parents' love. I am not the little kid I used to be. Let's go, let's go! Do we still have to go to see the acrobatics?

In a teahouse not far away, a handsome and charming young man with a baby face waved a folding fan and looked at the group of people below. He tapped his chin with the fan, thinking about what would happen next, and couldn't help but smile, a devilish smile.

In another restaurant, a young man clenched his fists as he watched the group leave. "Let's see if you survive this time. Can you escape this time?" he asked.

Okay, one more, one more, clang, clang, clang, the copper coins fell into the copper compass, it was a crisp and unique sound. Several people heard the cheers, tips, and shouts of joy from afar, one more, one more. This is really hearing the sound before seeing the person. Everyone came to the place where the acrobatics were performed. They watched the people on the stage balancing bowls, breathing fire, jumping in circles, and there were people performing with monkeys. There was also a big man lying on a wooden table, and a man was swinging a sledgehammer, smashing the big stone on his chest. Then there were the girls and women screaming and covering their eyes, "Oh, it's coming down, won't such a big hammer and stone kill people!"

Oops, don't look at it too cruelly.

The shattering stone in her chest reminded Jie Youlan of the 2005 skit "Renovation," in which Huang Hong played a demolition worker. He swung a sledgehammer to demolish the wall while shouting "80, 80, 80." He then turned around and said to the landlord, "Small hammer 40, big hammer 80!"

When a few people came up, squeezed through the crowd to the front, and watched the performance, Linglan was always the most popular one among them.

Watching their performance, Linglan, like many in the audience, clapped and cheered, "Good, good, one more, one more." ...

Several people were immersed in the wonderful acrobatic performance, staring at the stage intently.

Suddenly, a group of mysterious assassins appeared quietly, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

The assassins were dressed in black nightgown, their faces hidden by veils. Their movements were swift and agile, wielding sharp weapons as they rushed towards their targets like lightning. Their targets were clear: Prince Xiao, Princess Linglan, Princess Changning, and others in the audience.

The audience was stunned by this sudden scene and panicked for a moment. They began to scream and run away, "Ah! Ah! Murder, murder!" They tried to escape the scene, and the scene became even more chaotic.

In this tense moment, the guards and secret guards tried to stop the assassin, but they were blocked by the audience fleeing in all directions, and there were also women, children, and the elderly who were pushed down and bumped by panic. At this moment, the place was like a purgatory on earth. The screams and cries were inhumane and miserable...Ah! Help! My child, my child, someone come to save my child.

"Oh, don't step on my treasure!" Siyu and Xiao Wang looked at the assassins rushing towards them. They were agile, ruthless, and difficult to resist. The chaos of the people prevented them from performing their tasks.
