Chapter 255 Lantern Festival (3)

After seeing off Murong Ting and Leng Haoyu, Ye Li turned around and looked at Mo Xiuyao with a somewhat ugly expression and raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Did Leng Haoyu say anything unhappy?"

Mo Xiuyao reached out to bring her into his arms and snorted, "What else can be there besides the matter in Yongzhou? Liu Jingyun and Guan Yu, two wastes, holding more than 100,000 troops, were actually beaten by Mo Jingli, and there was no power to fight back." Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "100,000 people? Mo Jingli divided her troops eastward?" Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "[Biqudao      www.biqudao.info] Yes, Mo Xiuyao summoned 200,000 troops from Lingzhou and wanted to occupy the entire south of the Yunlan River in the shortest time. It was nothing... Judging from the news sent from Yongzhou, a very powerful figure seemed to have appeared in Mo Jingli's army. A few days ago, when Liu Jingyun and Guan Yu fought, the two wastes were defeated in three battles and three times. If General Murong hadn't reinforcements in time, I was afraid that Yonglin City would be destroyed in their hands."

"The emperor is determined not to let the Mo family army go south to quell the rebellion. It's useless if you get angry." Ye Li raised his hand and patted his arm to comfort him.

Mo Xiuyao sighed in a deep voice, "I know." Of course, he knew that Mo Jingqi would rather give the entire south of the Yunlan River to Mo Jingqi than let the power of the Ding King's Mansion be involved. So now his actions have become the battle situation in the south that has been unbeatable. Two useless men hold more than 100,000 troops but have no military achievements. But Mo Xiuyao, a group of Ding King's Mansion, was in a timely manner. How could he hoped to be able to move south but could only be idle in the army to watch it.

"Liu Jingyun has never fought a war, let alone commanding an army of more than 100,000. Guan Yu is also a waste. The general of Zhenguo is now unwell and he is resting at home. The old Duke of Hua is old and cannot be trusted by the emperor. Not to mention the generals under the Ding Palace, I am afraid that Mo Jingli will not let them go to the battlefield even if he occupys the entire Southern Emperor." Ye Li thought in a low voice.

Mo Xiuyao said in a deep voice: "With General Murong taking care of Guan Qi, the waste, as long as you don't act smart, you can last for a few months. But... Once Mo Jingli really occupied the south, he turned around and was his death to deal with him." Ye Li frowned and said: "At Mo Jingli's speed, you should be in Beirong at that time, right?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head and snorted with a slight angrily: "Forget it, they like to make trouble, let them make trouble. I don't have time to pay attention to them now, and Mo Jingqi has something to do to avoid staring at the Ding Prince's Mansion all day long." Ye Li smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid that no matter how many things happen, he will not forget the Ding Prince's Mansion."

"Since he likes to stare at Prince Ding's Mansion, I will let him see enough. Ali, let's go out for a walk." With one hand wrapped around Ye Li's slender waist, Mo Xiuyao laughed and turned around to take the person out. Ye Li looked at the sky outside in confusion, "It's almost dark, where are you going?" Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "You will know when you go."

Walking in the endless stream of people, Ye Li has lived in Chujing for so many years and never knew that the nights in Chujing could be so lively. This is not a place where the powerful people in the capital like to go, but a street where ordinary people gather. At night, the lights are on, and the streets are covered with various lanterns, simple or exquisite and gorgeous lanterns. On the street, people stroll in groups of three or three and laugh. It is indeed a peaceful and peaceful scene. Ye Li looked down at the hands of the two holding each other. Although there were lanterns everywhere, they were not as bright as the daytime. Most of the streets were ordinary people, so they didn't attract much attention when they walked in the crowd. The most common ones were occasionally someone looked at the mask on Mo Xiuyao's face and was amazed at their appearance and demeanor.

"What day is today?" Looking at the crowd of joy and noisy people, Ye Li leaned against Mo Xiuyao's arms and asked curiously.

Mo Xiuyao raised his hand, carefully protected her in his arms, and laughed in a low voice: "It's not a special day. There is a night market lantern festival every month in the capital, and this curfew will be two hours later than usual. So this is also a lively day in the capital. This is the tradition of the capital, don't you know?" Ye Li was silent. She really didn't know that there was such a day in the capital. Mo Xiuyao looked at her and smiled: "Have fun with these people is completely different from those nobles. When I was a teenager, I came here almost every month. So I always wanted to take you to see it." Ye Li raised her head and looked at him, and smiled: "Then if we have time in the future, we will come every month. The capital is really boring."

Looking at Ye Li's beautiful face under the light, Mo Xiuyao took her into his arms and leaned on her shoulder and smiled softly, "Okay, if A Li likes it, we will come every month from now on."

Passers-by looked at a handsome man among the crowd and carefully protected a delicate and graceful woman in his arms. Seeing the woman's clothes and hairstyle were obviously a married woman. In everyone's eyes, the perfect couple must be a newly married couple. They couldn't help but smile kindly.

Mo Xiuyao led Ye Li to pass through the crowd familiarly. Although he hadn't been here for many years, the changes in the lantern festival did not seem to be much. Mo Xiuyao still found his goal familiarly. A small stall selling lanterns that looked a little simple. The stall owner was a gray-haired old man who was carefully hanging the made lanterns one by one on the shelves. However, the old man was not young anymore. He held a gorgeous lotus lantern and tried it tremblingly for several times but couldn't hang it to the highest place.

Fang Go. Mo Xiuyao stood beside him, reached out to take the lantern from the old man's hand and hung it up. The old man was stunned at first, and turned around and saw a pair of noble and noble men and women standing in front of him. The old man looked at Mo Xiuyao and frowned and said, "Thank you, young master... This young master looks familiar, and the little old man seems to have seen the young master somewhere..." Mo Xiuyao smiled indifferently: "I often came here a few years ago, but I bought a lot of lanterns from the old man. No wonder the old man looked familiar."

The old man waved his hand in a hurry and said, "The little old man is not allowed to be a gentleman. Is the young master taking his wife to the lantern festival? Do you want to buy a lantern to enjoy?"

The word "Madam" obviously made Mo Xiuyao very happy. He looked at Ye Li, pointed to the pair of simple lanterns piled up on one side and said, "Just want these two." The old man looked at the two with some embarrassment. Although the two young ladies were not dressed very gorgeously, the old man had sold lanterns for most of his life. Naturally, there were many people he had seen. These two knew they were noble people at first glance, and they didn't look like people who would like to be so simple lanterns. Ye Li also understood the old man's thoughts and smiled and said, "Just these two. It looks simple and elegant, but also unique."

Seeing that the two seemed to really want these two simple lanterns, the old man nodded and took the lantern and handed it over. Ye Li took it in his hand. It was indeed a very ordinary lantern. The workmanship was quite exquisite, but compared with other strange-shaped various flowers and birds, it was just a normal pattern. Even the paper outside was made of ordinary white paper and some flowers and plants were covered with flowers and plants. Maybe it was two leftover materials that were barely made after making other lanterns. Mo Xiuyao took the lantern in Ye Li's hand and looked at it.

, smiled at her, turned around and picked up the old man's pen aside to draw this. After a moment, he stopped writing and nodded in satisfaction and handed the lantern to Ye Li again. Ye Li looked down and used the blank space on the original flower sketch to draw a graceful woman. She either held a scroll or frowned, or held a flower or held a sword. Although only a few strokes, it made people feel that the woman's graceful and beautiful appearance appeared on the paper. The lantern, which originally looked monotonous and boring, suddenly turned into an exquisite beauty lantern.
