Si Tian Guan

There was a distance from Dengshi, so Qu Shenzhou naturally followed Liu Chongming's carriage.

After walking around, Liu Chongming asked first: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I came here after eating."

Although relying on the sky, divination is also a physically exhausting job in the face of so many people, Qu Chenzhou didn't answer much, and leaned on the soft bed with his eyes closed, trying to recall the hexagrams just like a lantern.

Liu Chongming didn't bother him any more, he just ordered the carriage to go slower. From the looks of it, there should be something worth exploring.

Candles were lit in the carriage, and as the carriage shook slightly, erratic shadows swayed back and forth.

He stared at Qu Chenzhou for a moment without blinking, and suddenly realized that there was something different from before.

Even though he was wearing a mask, there was a deep scar extending from the center of Qu Chenzhou's eyebrows, between Ruoxing's eyes, it was particularly conspicuous at first.

In the next few months, he gradually got used to the plaster that looked like a ghost, and he was so numb that he turned a blind eye.

But under the light of the candlelight, the smooth skin extends from the forehead to the inside of the face, which is so delicate that it makes one's heart skip a beat.

With a thought, he remembered that he hadn't seen Qu Chenzhou's real appearance for a long time.

Without the unsightly plaster between the brows, with only this half of his face, even he, whom he saw almost every day, couldn't help his heart beat faster.

A little hope floated up, he felt that his guess was almost delusional, but the more he looked at the silhouette under the lamp, the more he couldn't stop his extravagant thoughts, and finally asked in a shy voice: "Shen Zhou, your..."

"Huh?" Qu Chenzhou was woken up in his contemplation, thinking that he was anxious to wait, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame me, it's just that person just now... I don't know him, and the hexagram is vague. Let me see him again in the next day."

Liu Chongming put away his charming thoughts ashamedly, and asked: "Do you still remember any obvious appearance? What is it related to?"

"There is a small mole on the neck with the root of the ear down here," Qu Shenzhou gestured, and explained: "It was Shi Lei who pulled him in from the crowd. The time is too short, I only vaguely see something related to Jinxiu Camp , if you have a chance, you can inquire about Pan He's news."

Liu Chongming probably had an idea in his mind.

Every family has a few poor relatives, and the Marquis of Anding's Mansion is the same. Since it is outside the crowd, it should be inconspicuous. Thanks to Bai Shilei's warm and thoughtful attitude, he did not neglect anyone.

"Alright, since it's about Jinxiu Camp, I'll let someone find him quietly."

Qu Chenzhou nodded slightly, and was silent for a moment, thinking of something: "Why don't you see Qingchi?"

Liu Chongming was used to him calling them so naturally, so he responded casually: "He said he didn't like the excitement, so he went back to read, and it's like this every year."

In fact, Qing Chi's complexion is even worse this year, and Bai Shilei's storytelling is indisputable.

As if carelessly, Qu Shenzhou leaned back on the couch again, closed his eyes and said: "Although Qingchi is young, he is also in the same heart with the son, and he is very concerned about your brother's affairs, but he hates himself for being powerless, and also hates the son He only wants to make money, and he doesn't know the real painstaking efforts of the son, so he alienates."

"Qing Chi likes to study, so he should make a difference in the Imperial Academy in the future. As the saying goes, brother who fights a tiger, father and son fight in battle. For the sake of the future, the son should also get rid of Qing Chi's knot."

"There are some things that need to be discussed."

"Qingchi..." Liu Chongming hesitated: "He's still young, I don't want him to be involved in these things."

"My son's words are wrong." Qu Chenzhou said: "You are just not being honest, there is still room for recovery from Qingchi, if the son enters the officialdom in the future, Qingchi will not understand even more."

"The Liu family is the foundation of the son, not only Qingchi, but also Lord Hou, who the son wants to win over first."

"Forgive me for saying something unlucky, the prince misses the person who passed away, if one day Qingchi is gone, and the prince thinks about the current neglect and concealment, how should he deal with himself?"

Liu Chongming thought about the "previous life" he had mentioned, and felt a cold sweat. After thinking about it for a long time, he had to say: "You are right, I will have a good talk with Qing Chi some other day. Thank you."

After it got dark, a group of horse-drawn carriages arrived at the place, and walking forward was the most lively place, selling lanterns, juggling, releasing river lanterns, sugar blowers, etc., all of which were almost concentrated here.

The crowd came neither early nor late, when there were many people, the servants surrounded them so as not to be hit by others.

Naturally, Liu Chongming didn't want to be with Qu Chenzhou again, so he ordered two people: "Go and see Qu Chenzhou."

He was a little worried, but he didn't babble like he was at home, so he could only add jokingly: "Be careful that he ran away again."

Qu Chenzhou looked up at him, nodded slightly, and put on the hood——his eyes are too eye-catching, and if he appears in this kind of place, he might attract people to watch.

The farther you go, the more people there are, there are more children running amok and playing, and there are shouts and noises everywhere.

The crowd gradually stopped gathering together and walked away in twos and threes. Fortunately, the distance between the front and the back was not far, and they could still see each other.

Bai Shiyan walked with Liu Chongming, he couldn't help turning his head when he saw him, and didn't say anything, as if he had something on his mind, he didn't say anything, and just bumped him with his arm.

Liu Chongming avoided the frolicking crowd, and looked back again, worried: "I can't see him."

"He's not a child, and there are people following him." Bai Shiyan really didn't want to see him like a mother-in-law: "Come out to play, you are so bored and don't talk, just thinking about him?"

Facing Bai Shiyan, Liu Chongming did not shy away, and said bluntly: "Yes, I am thinking about him."

"What are you thinking? What did he just tell you?" Bai Shiyan knew that the two of them would not waste their time in the carriage: "Is there something wrong with this group of people?"

"No, it might be good news. I was just thinking..."

Liu Chongming stood still and caught a glimpse of a candy seller on the side of the road.

A young couple with two children are shopping for candies.One of the two children was crying because the candies were of different sizes.

The father hurriedly bought two more.

The two children were satisfied and stopped fighting. They raised one in each hand and happily chased and played around their parents.

Everyone is happy and harmonious.

That string of candies... Liu Chongming couldn't help but think, when will he get rid of those nightmare-like candies?

Sweetness is such a wonderful taste, he wanted Shen Zhou to taste it too.

"I was thinking, how could a person like him die?"

Bai Shiyan was puzzled: "Didn't I say it, time and fate are also destiny, everyone will die."

"Really? Just now so many people flashed by in front of him, all kinds of gossip, he not only found something that might be useful, but also quickly observed a small mole on that person's neck."

"If it's me, I don't think I can do it, what about you?"

Bai Shiyan thought about it, and shook his head.

"He is really powerful. Even if he didn't have those eyes in the past, he was a bold, careful, well-rounded person, and he was smart and tough. He knew what to ask for and what not to ask for, and he would not fall into the abyss because of greed."

Liu Chongming raised his head and asked, "It is enough for such a person to protect himself. I believe that he will die at the end of his life, but why did he die at such a young age?"

Bai Shiyan couldn't answer, so he could only pat him: "No matter how smart a person is, he might capsize in the gutter, so don't think too much about it."

Liu Chongming could only smile wryly.

For some reason, thinking of Qu Chenzhou's calmness when talking about his previous life, he always felt that that death... seemed to be under Qu Chenzhou's control.

Although he said that he would not explore his past life and pay attention to Qu Shenzhou's real body, but he always felt that there seemed to be a thread leading him here from the unknown world he had never experienced.

I can guess the existence of this line, but I don't know how to catch it.

Not long after, most of the street was gone, and both of them ordered the people around them to go to the river together and prepare to release the river lanterns.

The scattered people quickly gathered again, but Qu Chenzhou was nowhere to be seen. Only the two who followed Qu Chenzhou hurriedly came back to report.

Qu Shenzhou disappeared again.

Qu Chenzhou stood in the crowd in a daze, looked around on his feet, but didn't see a familiar figure.

"Oops..." he muttered to himself.

God really likes to tease people.

In the past, he tried every means to escape, and even risked the possibility of being beaten to death time and time again, with no hope at all. Now that he has settled down, he has been left behind again.

He was originally walking between the two of them, following at the end of the team.

Although there were many people on the street, they could not fail to take care of each other, but after passing the intersection just now, there was some extra performance or something, and the crowd suddenly became crowded.

After walking a few steps, a group of people who had just finished drinking and came to visit the Lantern City bumped into him noisily, and he was pushed and shoved aside.

There were many tall people around, and when he raised his eyes at first, he could still see the top of the head of the person accompanying him, but soon they were all submerged in the crowd, and he didn't know where the two were pushed.

Maybe it was the first time he was left alone, maybe because he suddenly lost contact with Liu Chongming, he panicked for no reason, then calmed down quickly, pinching the collar of his cloak, trying not to attract attention, walking along the crowded road The crowd moves forward.

Liu Chongming and the others should be right in front of the crowd.

Narrow alleys extend on both sides of the street in Lantern City. Every time you walk to the entrance of the alley against the wall, there are shaking figures in front of you, dazzling lights, and endless darkness behind you, like a monster with its mouth open. .

He has a greater fear of the dark than ordinary people, and whenever he passes the alley, he sticks to the wall tightly, for fear that the crowd will squeeze him into the depths.

Just be afraid of something.

After passing only one alley, there seemed to be another crowd on the opposite side. The two faced each other, and he had to retreat into the alley, turning his head back from time to time, so he couldn't care about what was in front of him.

But it was only for a moment that he suddenly realized that something was wrong - the people around him were clearly pushing him deeper on purpose.

Before the person in front took another step back, his figure sank and his hands reached his waist.

Liu Chongming gave him a retractable flying thorn, with thick fingers and sharp ends, which can be used for self-defense in an emergency.

The stabbing front sent forward silently in the dark night. From the eyes of others, it seemed that it was just pushing and shoving as before, but it was pierced by a miserable scream.

The person who had already squeezed to Qu Shenzhou's left immediately reacted, quickly covered his mouth with one hand, and was about to clasp his wrist with the other.

With just this one action, Qu Chenzhou immediately realized that these people didn't want his life, but wanted to capture him alive!

He was thin and light, unable to pick up the man who fell, since the other party was unwilling to kill him, he simply went all out in a desperate posture, instead of breaking free, he slammed into the man's arms with all his strength.

The two crashed into the wall of the narrow alley together, and just as one end of the flying thorn was pulled out bloody, the other end pierced into the heart of the man.

The man didn't expect that he was still carrying a weapon, and he didn't even make a sound to warn, so he fell sideways against the wall.

The power that restrained him disappeared immediately.

Without waiting for anyone to react, he stepped on the body of the person who had just fallen down, kicked to the opposite wall with his strength, and then threw himself back, with his hands on the eaves.

In the blink of an eye, he had already climbed onto the roof and ran forward without looking back.

"catch him!"

Someone behind him also climbed up to the roof, making the tiles rattle.

"That slut wants to escape! Catch him! There's a reward!"

This shout completely cut off Qu Chenzhou's idea of ​​jumping into the crowd to escape. If he was handed over to these people, he would not even have a chance to defend himself.

There is a surging crowd under your feet, and the enemy is chasing after you. The eaves that you can jump in front of you are about to end, and you are blocked by a big tree.

Qu Chenzhou was cornered, he only knew he was running like hell, and when he calmed down for a while, he was already climbing on a tree.
