Chapter 35 Nuo Sacrifice

"Fifteen..." At noon the next day, Nineteen reluctantly came to Chengying Gate.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ying asked strangely.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Nineteen's face was full of nostalgia, and his thick eyebrows were frowned, looking very aggrieved.

"Farewell? Where are you going?"

"I've been sent to be the eldest prince's shadow guard." Nineteen said sullenly.

"Really?" Joy flashed in Chengying's eyes, and he patted him on the shoulder, "It's really great, this is a good opportunity, you must perform well!"

"But..." Nineteen said nonchalantly, "Then I won't be able to see you every day..."

"Silly boy~" Chengying chuckled, "I promise you, I will visit you often."

"Really?" Nineteen had a child-like smile on his cloudy face just now.

"Of course, I promise you, I will visit you often." Cheng Ying stroked his head lovingly.

"En! I will find time to come back to see you! If that fourth prince dares to bully you, you must tell me! I, I will definitely protect you!"

"Protect me? Uh~~~ Well, I will tell you if he bullies me."

"Fourth prince, he is jealous of me! That's why he transferred me away!" Nineteen said angrily.

"Jealous? Heh~" Yu Songling suddenly walked over, shaking his folding fan, with an unknown smile on his face, which seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be disdainful, "Only those who can't get it will be jealous, he is me. Yes, why should I be jealous?"

With one sentence, Nineteen was choked speechless, Yu Songling walked to Nineteen, and said slowly: "I can forgive your rudeness just now, but if you let the eldest prince have the slightest mistake, I will definitely let you survive, beg-die-no-can"

Shocked by the fierce murderous aura on his body, Nineteen nodded hastily.

After Nineteen retreated, Yu Songling threw a mask to Chengying and said with a smile, "Today is the Nuo Festival, wear this and let's go for a walk."

Nuo Sacrifice is a traditional festival in the Yuan Dynasty. On this day, everyone will wear scary masks and dance on the street to pray for blessings, implying to expel the plague ghosts and pray for safety.

The bustling streets are crowded with people, and two figures, one black and one white, move slowly among the crowd, feeling the festive atmosphere. This is Yu Songling's favorite festival. Whenever he puts on a mask and moves with the crowd, he He will temporarily forget his identity, he is not the fourth prince, but just an ordinary citizen.Every year on this day, he would sneak out, and Chengying would follow him not far away to protect him. This has been the case for more than seven years, but today, their roles seem to be reversed.Along the way, Yu Songling surrounded Chengying to protect him from being squeezed by the pedestrians around him, and Chengying's swaying bloated body moved forward slowly under Yu Songling's careful protection, with that kind of meticulous care. Considerate, let the originally fair face under the mask be stained with blush.

"Want to eat candied haws?" Yu Songling helped Chengying sit down and rest in a place with few people, glanced at a stall selling candied haws in front of him, and asked with a smile, "I heard that you like to eat sour haws recently. of."

"Yeah." Chengying nodded.

"Sit here and wait for me for a while." Yu Songling broke into the crowd after finishing speaking.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and Chengying habitually clenched the sword in his hand, but hesitated for a while, but did not pull it out, until someone wrapped him in a sack and dragged him away, he never made a sound, just Hold tight to the hilt.

"Haha! It's going well." Cheng Ying felt that she was being put down, and then heard a burst of wild laughter, "Fourth prince, I greet you." The man saluted slightly, but his smile was very vicious.

"Fourth prince?" Cheng Ying said secretly in his heart, "They regard me as the fourth prince, so it can be seen that they have never met him in person."

"We've been following you all the way since you left the mansion. We finally waited for that diligent subordinate of yours to go away before doing anything. It's been so hard for us to wait." The speaker was a burly man with a scar on his face. With his hand, he took off Chengying's mask, and said with a lewd smile, "It is rumored that the fourth prince is handsome, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. It's just that his posture... Tsk tsk, it must be because he has eaten too much fine wine."

"What are you going to do?" Cheng Ying asked in a pressing voice.

"What are you doing?" The man smiled strangely, "Of course I want to send you on your way. But before that...hehe..."

The big man reached out to touch Chengying's face, Chengying raised his hand, and the sword was out of its sheath, but when it hit the man's arm, he found that his clothes were a bit weird.

"Golden silk software?" Chengying whispered, it is an extremely precious cloth woven with golden silk, not only as thin as a cicada's wings but also invulnerable, Yu Songling's folding fan is made of this material.

"Haha! The fourth prince really knows what to do." The man laughed wildly, "Now, you can't do anything to me."

"Not necessarily." Cheng Ying said calmly, "Even if the body is invulnerable, there will be flaws elsewhere."

"Oh?" The man looked disdainful.

"As long as it is a human being, there are always a few places that are quite weak." Cheng Ying's voice was still calm, "For example... the eyes!"

Before the word "eyes" could be said, the sword in Chengying's hand was unsheathed again, and when the big man came to his senses, there was darkness in front of him.

"Ah!!~~~"

The man rolled on the ground in pain, and two lines of blood flowed out from his eyes.

Seeing this situation, the others hurriedly raised their swords and attacked.Chengying was about to fight again, when suddenly a hidden weapon flew towards them, pointing directly at the acupoint.Chengying took a closer look and couldn't help but smile, those so-called "hidden weapons" were just red fruits covered with sugar.

"Why didn't you call me?" Yu Songling stood in front of Chengying, frowning.Without waiting for his answer, he jumped into the enemy group and fought with them.

The big man who was blinded by Chengying also struggled to get up, picked up the knife and scrambled indiscriminately, and fell down again after walking a few steps. A thin bamboo stick was pierced through the temple.

A group of people quickly turned into corpses lying on the ground. Yu Songling walked up to Cheng Ying and said angrily, "There are no more candied haws!"

"I can handle these people, so I didn't call you, and it won't happen next time." Cheng Ying laughed along with her.

"Remember what you said." Yu Songling said lightly, then walked forward, Cheng Ying hurriedly followed behind, one white and one black figure disappeared into the crowd again.
