Chapter 120 Chance Encounter

Liu Zhanyu is now on duty in the Governor's Department. Although he is not on duty today, he naturally takes more care of people like the old and the young.

"Xiaobao and I came out secretly. We can't wait long before we have to go back. It's okay." The old man said nonchalantly. If the rest of the family knew that he secretly took Xiaobao out to watch the lantern festival, they would not be allowed to follow him.

A huge commotion.

When Lan Xi saw this, she deeply felt the irritability of the old man's family.

This is obviously an old naughty boy who gets smaller and smaller as he gets older!

"That's not possible. You have to be safe when you go out to look at the lights. It will be inconvenient for you, an old man, with a child. How about I allocate a guard to you?"

Liu Zhanyu really couldn't watch the old and the young just squeezing through the crowd, but he couldn't add the unidentified person directly to the team, so he could only assign a palace guard to them.

Song Lanzhang and others had no objection to this. Everyone respected the old and loved the young. Besides, they brought so many palace guards that even if a few were removed, it would be more than enough to protect them.

The old man was a little moved when he heard this. He was not worried that these children from our family had evil intentions. Besides, he really needed someone to help him look after Xiaobao.

"In that case, I would like to thank a few friends for their kindness!"

The old man was pleased with the eagerness of the young people to help others, and he also asked his grandson to thank his brothers and sisters.

Lanxi and the others accepted the baby's milky-sounding thanks, and then said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson who had just met by chance.

"The old man said just now that there are more beautiful lanterns that haven't been hung up, right?" In Lan Xi's opinion, the lanterns hanging outside are already exquisitely made and very beautiful. She can't imagine any more beautiful lanterns.

"The Lantern Festival is a rare event, and businessmen naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune."

Song Lanzhang nodded. He was much older than his younger brothers and sisters, and he was a man who did not have too many restrictions. He had attended several lantern festivals with his friends in the past years.

"At this time of year, they let skilled craftsmen make ingenious and unique lanterns of various colors. Some of them attract tourists to stop and watch, and some of them are used to line the pockets of dignitaries."

"I know! It must be guessing lantern riddles, right?" Lan Xi answered quickly.

Song Lanzhang smiled and nodded: "This is just one of them. Businessmen have done a lot of research on how to make people willingly take off their wallets. Everyone, you should be careful today!"

Liu Shuhuan bulged his eyes and subconsciously held down his wallet, as if he had seen himself stupidly scattering all his money to the smiling merchants without knowing it.

"No, no, Lan Xi, you must watch me closely later and don't let me throw money away casually." Liu Shuhuan said to Lan Xi worriedly, wishing he could leave his wallet in Lan Xi's hands.

Lan Xi ignored her.

It's not like this girl has no money. She's usually lavish and has no concept of money at all. Don't look at her stingy look now. She might turn into a money-splitting kid later. Who can control her?

Liu Shuhuan also knew her bad habits. Since Lan Xi refused to agree, she could only silently lament in her heart that her wallet was about to lose weight.

A few people were talking, and the sky gradually became dark. At this time, the streets were really decorated with lights and colorful, and bustling with people.

"Hang it up! Is it that kind of thing? It really looks better!" Lan Xi, who has always been sharp-eyed, immediately noticed that a few boys not far away had set up a high wooden platform and placed several particularly exquisite lanterns.

Hang them one by one.

"There are some over there too!" Liu Shuhuan shook Lan Xi's hand and pointed to the shop workers on the other side who were stringing long ropes on both sides of the street.

"They hung all the lanterns on ropes. Are they going to cover the whole street?" Liu Shuhuan said excitedly.

"It's so bright!" Jiang Yan was silent all the way, but he couldn't help but say something at this time, "It turns out that the night can be so bright, the night is really like the day, the ancients did not deceive me."

Song Lanshu lazily crossed his arms and looked at the children who were so happy that they couldn't help themselves, but there was a smile on their face that couldn't be concealed.

Song Lanshu also looked at the lively scene around her with a smile, and her bright little face was particularly charming under the light.

Song Lanzhang and Liu Zhanyu stood quietly in front of their brothers and sisters. As long as they had fun, they felt happy.

Lan Xi couldn't help it, and got under the helpers who were tying ropes on both sides of the street to observe. She was happy and worried at the same time, for fear that someone would lose their footing and fall.

But obviously, her worries are unnecessary. These guys perform this show every year and have already mastered their climbing skills.

I saw that the guys were as agile as monkeys. They climbed up the fence of the commercial building with a push and a push. They quickly tied the ropes in their hands and used the ropes to swing to the other side.

"Okay!" Song Lanjiu shouted in praise, "I didn't expect that this little guy from a businessman actually has martial arts skills!"

"Are you saying that they have practiced martial arts or..." Lan Xi asked.

She originally thought that these guys were simply good at acrobatics, but just like those modern acrobats, they were all specially trained. But from what the third brother meant, it seemed that it was not just that.

Liu Shuhuan felt something was wrong just now, but she couldn't explain what made her feel strange. She suddenly realized it when Song Lanjiu said this.

Yes, even she can't be so light as a swallow, jumping between buildings. These little guys look so calm and composed, there is no way they are just ordinary people.

It was Liu Zhanyu who answered their questions: "They should be the associates of Shang Yue Chengyun, the best in the world. It is not necessarily true that they are associates. They are more like his subordinates, similar to our guards."

That's it, Lan Xi nodded.

"Then can our guards jump up and down on the roof like them?" Liu Shuhuan asked again.

As long as it was about martial arts, whether it was people or things, Liu Shuhuan would inevitably be a little competitive.

As soon as these words came out, the guards felt a little embarrassed. They all touched their noses and looked at each other. No one dared to answer this.

Liu Shuhuan took a look with his almond-shaped eyes and immediately got the answer from the gazes of the guards. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Her father is a military commander, and the martial arts of the guards in the palace are not even as good as those of a merchant. This is so embarrassing!

Liu Shuhuan was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Song Lanshu's surprised voice.

"Brother, look, those people in front are the prince and the fourth princess?"

Everyone looked back along Song Lanshu's line of sight and saw a carriage parked not far behind them. However, it was surrounded by water and the carriage was unable to move.
