That was a heavy ingot of gold, an absolute huge prize.

Driven by this grand prize, families with a little wealth in Chang'an City will have a lot of brains on the lanterns, all seeking new things and making tricks.

These are all components of the various activities of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. After all, the reason why this festival is so important is because it is a rare festival where men and women can travel together.

Those affectionate men and women are waiting for this day all year round and walking upright on the streets.

Pei Heng held the lanterns and Mo'er looked around, and was very excited.

From time to time, he pulled Pei Heng to the stall to watch the fun, but he didn't buy anything. This was strange. Every time he saw her excitedly leading him to the stall to bargain with the store, he would take out his wallet and prepare. Once she fell in love, she would have to pay.

But who knew that after walking around, she didn't buy any of the things.

The two followed the abortion and walked casually without saying anything, and they also knew that this was the happiest moment.

"Mo'er, you don't have anything you like?" Pei Heng was puzzled.

She smiled and said, "No, no, just take a look. Pei Chanjun, do you like shopping on weekdays?"

"I don't like it, I'm too busy working every day."

"That's right. You don't know that these things look fresh, but there are actually not many rare things. Look at the cinnabar bracelet. I saw them in Linlang Pavilion that day. They only sold for fifteen cents, and the price has increased today. You still remember the round fans I saw just now."

Pei Heng nodded at her cute and charming look.

"I've seen that fan last time. The fan is still silk, which is much better than the materials in that store. It only costs ten cents. So, I think the lanterns are really visible, only lanterns. Forget these goods, there are not many good ones."

"I didn't expect that you were quite clever." Pei Heng made an objective comment. Mo'er was dissatisfied and gave him a blank look: "You just saw it?"

"If you are not smart, you can't do big things!"

At the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, the Lantern Festival reached its climax. Almost all the people in Chang'an City went out to join in the streets.

The originally one-way crowd has become two-way, and some people have come out early, so they are ready to return home. They are walking towards the large-scale crowding and chaotic.

Pei Heng and Mo'er walked side by side, helplessly being swept by the crowd, crowded left and right, and people were everywhere. Mo'er was pushed around by the crowd, and almost couldn't stand.

But at this moment, the alert Pei Heng smelled an unusual breath. He reached out to wrap his hand over Mo'er's shoulder. Mo'er shrank and looked up at him.

"There are so many people, don't get separated!"

He looked back at her with a warm look, which made Mo'er feel inexplicably relieved. His warm chest also brought her strength, so she stopped struggling and followed him forward.

There are only excuses for many people, but in fact, Pei Heng smelled other breaths.

It was a dangerous atmosphere different from this laughing and festive atmosphere. The two of them walked forward with difficulty, and a few young men in brocade robes came towards them, all of whom were cultivating their bodies with jade faces and extraordinary heroic spirits.

They walked towards this side with a lantern holding the lantern and laughing. Mo'er's shoulder was always held by him, and he didn't notice the person coming in front of him, and Pei Heng almost instantly noticed their strangeness.

The crowd was crowded, and when I looked up, there was almost only one road in front of me. Pei Heng carefully observed the surroundings and found that there was no opportunity to rush out of the crowd. He avoided the suspicious person. He had to clench the Modao silently, and his hand on Mo'er's shoulder slowly tightened.

"Pei joins the army, what's going on?" Mo'er was puzzled.

Pei Heng smiled and said in a pretended relaxed tone: "Hurry up, there are evil people ahead."

Mo'er was startled, her red lips opened slightly, and she instantly realized that the danger was around her. So she immediately calmed down and held Pei Heng with her slender little hand.

The two of them were closely attached, as if they were connected to chains.

But at this moment, the crowd was diversion in one street and alley. Pei Heng led Mo'er to the West Street. As expected, the young people coming towards him also followed the two and walked onto the West Street.

Tsk, it's really a difficult person, Pei Heng thought to himself.

These people have been following them since they were on Zhuque Street. Now they turn to Heng Street and still don’t let go. This shows that they are not ordinary robbers, neither greedy for money nor robbery.

If this happens, this matter will be really difficult. Could it be that these people are here to take their lives?

Pei Heng suddenly felt a little lucky. If Qin Wushuang had not given him the opportunity to travel and let Mo'er go out alone, he might have been harmed by these people.

West Street is even more lively. In addition to the lanterns on both sides, small stalls along the street, there are also various dance troupes and jugglers performing in the market. The lights are bright and the skirts are fluttering. This chaotic scene makes Pei Heng even more nervous.

Now, it is impossible to quickly return to the East Palace. The crowded crowds almost pushed them forward. The only thing they could do was to hold on to each other and not be dispersed.

There was a scorpion and Hu band performing Hu Xuan dance in front of him. The graceful dance of the dancer attracted many people there, and Mo'er felt that she was empty all of a sudden.

Such an empty situation made her feel anxious.

It seemed as if this leisure was a gap to create opportunities for danger. At this time, the two realized that they had been squeezed into the middle of two narrow walls.

not good!

Pei Heng shouted inwardly, pulling his sword out of the sheath, and sure enough, a young man rushed over from behind, who was one of the few people in the brocade robe just now.

But he saw him crossing his sword, avoiding Pei Heng's obstacle, and attacking Mo'er directly. Mo'er tightened nervously, and he snuggled up on Pei Heng's body. The long sword wiped her face, and she escaped the disaster in thrillingly.

They were completely forced into the alley, and all the criminals appeared. Only then did Pei Heng see clearly that the young men in brocade robe just now were only a part of them, and there were also a few strong men in ochre clothes, who were also their party members.

In front of them, eight strong men appeared, all of whom seemed to be from a Lian family. Pei Heng protected Mo'er behind him and looked at them vigilantly.

With his martial arts, it was difficult to protect himself when eight people rushed forward, not to mention that he even brought Mo'er.

In order to protect her today, it seems that she has to sacrifice her life.

"Who sent you here?"

"You dare to be so arrogant at the foot of the Imperial City. Why don't you get out of here!"

Among the few people, the young man in brocade robe was grinning.

"Hero, we are here for that little lady. If you want to survive, hand her over and get out of here immediately!"
