At three o'clock in the hour, the moon is at the zenith.

Lin Junshu opened the door of the small courtyard, and Diao Chan sat at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Are you ready?" Lin Junshu asked.

Diao Chan nodded, holding in her hand the lacquered wood-carved puppy that Lu Bu bought for her on the street.

The two waited in the yard for a while, and a response came from the paper crane Lin Junshu had arranged outside.

"Diao Chan, Fengxian should have arrived."

When Diao Chan heard this, she stood up and pinched the wooden puppy's ears, looking a little nervous.

The door to the small courtyard was pushed open again, and Lu Bu, wearing a long gown, walked in from the door.

"Brother Li, why did you call me here late at night?" Lu Bu asked doubtfully.

As soon as he stepped into the small courtyard, he saw Diao Chan standing aside, and when he saw the wooden carved puppy in her hand, Lu Bu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Did Fengxian forget to promise his roommate that he would take her to see the sights of Chang'an City? I just saw the East City yesterday, so why not take a night tour of Chang'an tonight?" Lin Junshu said with a smile.

"This...Brother Li called me here late at night just to let us go out and see the scenery?" Lu Bu was slightly surprised.

"Isn't it enough to see the scenery with Diao Chan by your side?" Lin Junshu asked with a hint of teasing.

Lu Bu glanced at Diao Chan beside him, with a smile on his face and nodded, "That's enough!"

Lin Junshu looked up at the sky, pointed at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a relaxed expression: "The stars and the moon are shining brightly, it's time to swim. Let's go!"

"Brother..." Diao Chan looked at Lin Junshu hesitantly.

Lin Junshu took out a stack of talismans prepared in advance from his arms and stuffed them into their hands.

"These are some charms that I... bought in advance. There are two kinds of charms: the wind charm and the blinding charm. The wind casting charm can lighten the body and speed up, and the blinding charm can temporarily conceal the figure. Fengxian may not need these things, but Diao Chan is a weak woman after all.

You probably didn’t come here on your red rabbit in the middle of the night, right?”

Lu Bu shook his head and looked at the talisman in his hand, "But...is it too much? We are just going out for a while, we won't use it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Junshu had already pushed the two of them towards the courtyard door, "Be prepared, I have tried to remove the servants who are watching the night here nearby.

Just climb out the courtyard wall."

Lu Bu was pushed out of the courtyard with Diao Chan in confusion, "Brother Li, this..."

"Go quickly, leave the rest to me. Diao Chan will tell you about other things."

Lin Junshu looked at Diao Chan, showed a relieved smile, and waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.

"Diao Chan, Brother Li..."

Lin Junshu's behavior confused Lu Bu. He originally thought that Lin Junshu invited him here late at night to discuss something important, or even that he or Diao Chan encountered some danger.

As a result, he arrived nervously, so he handed Diao Chan directly to him, and also stuffed a handful of unknown talismans into it, letting him see the scenery with Diao Chan?

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

"Brother, he just wants to fulfill my wish. General Lu, can you please take me to see Chang'an under the moonlight?"

The moonlight spread over her undressed face, and Lu Bu suddenly felt, is it important to not be able to figure it out? Is there anything else that is more important than accompanying the girl in front of him?

"Okay!" Lu Bu nodded his head heavily.

Lin Junshu watched the two people leaving, closed the door of the small courtyard, and walked towards Diao Chan's room.

"Alas...the next step is the difficult thing..."

Lu Bu jumped out of Situ's Mansion with Diao Chan, picked up the Fengxing Curse mentioned by Lin Junshu, and tentatively patted Diao Chan.

The charm touched Diao Chan's sleeve and exploded instantly. The next second, an invisible air flow wrapped around Diao Chan.

"It's not a fake? Brother Li is quite good at buying things."

After solving the problem of moving, the two of them stepped onto the eaves and stepped on the green tiles, just like yesterday, and rushed towards Chang'an in the night.

There is a curfew in Chang'an City, and there are guards patrolling the city at night, but all of this naturally does not trouble Lu Bu.

He and Diao Chan easily avoided the guards who occasionally passed by. Under the cover of the night, the two of them shuttled through the streets and alleys, jumping over low houses and tall buildings. The wind rushing in with the night seemed to be plated by the moonlight.

A layer of lightness.

A smile bloomed from Diao Chan's face unconsciously. The city at night and during the day presented two completely different senses. Although the brilliance of thousands of houses with bright lights could not be seen late at night, the bright moonlight still woke up this hidden city.

A giant beast in the night.

The rustling of swaying tree shadows in the distance, the gentle chirping of the night wind blowing through the eaves, and the sporadic chirping of insects are interspersed from time to time.

Diao Chan chased the figure in front of her, running, running, running, wantonly enjoying the peace of mind and freedom she had never felt before.

"Diaochan, look, the viburnum planted in front of me is blooming."

Next to the courtyard wall of the mansion in front, a branch grows out of the wall. The rare viburnum in the north blooms beautifully under the moonlight, and the tightly clustered flower bulbs are more delicate and perfect than the pear blossoms in the small courtyard.

Lu Bu turned around, his eyes paused for a moment, his eyes were as crooked as the moon, and his smile was like a spring. He had never seen such a pure smile on Diao Chan's face, whether it was the bright moon in the sky or the Qionghua in front of her.

It seems as if the color has been stripped away.

"Ah, is it really a viburnum? Isn't it difficult to grow in the north? This is the first time I have seen it, and it blooms so well."

"Hmm..." Lu Bu agreed gently.

They climbed to the tallest tower in Chang'an, and the two of them stood on the top of the tower, looking up at the stars in the sky.

They walked through the most secluded alleys and listened to the classical music played by their footsteps on the stone road in the night.

Go to Beicheng and see one or two scattered lights still burning in the vast mansions.

Go to Nancheng and listen to the barking of the hawker's dogs, startled by the unfamiliar smell.

I went to Xicheng to see the garrison stationed in the city. After finishing the patrol in the middle of the night, I yawned tiredly and changed my guard.

Finally, when I returned to Dongcheng, the ruined houses had not yet been neatly arranged, so I walked through fragments of walls and ruins to the end of the long street.

The ferocious gap in the thick city wall was still eye-catching in the dark night. "General Lu, you made that hole! That day I was on the roof next to you, riding your red rabbit horse, watching you turn over and jump down to block them."

Ahead, the halberd was swung down violently..."

Diao Chan happily talked about what she saw here yesterday. Lu Bu, who was the protagonist of the incident, listened quietly to the side, and his image in Diao Chan's eyes.

At this moment, she was no longer the Diao Chan who had carried a mission and had gone through all the training to become the sharpest blade in the hands of politicians.

She is like an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl, her name is Yu Ningxuan.

After Diao Chan finished speaking happily, Lu Bu stepped forward gently and said, "We are done visiting Chang'an City."

"Yeah...I'm done shopping..."

"Brother Li said, you will tell me if there are other things."

Diao Chan looked at the gap in the city wall. Outside was the irreversible darkness of night, and the freedom she had always longed for.
