The female thief surrendered and Yangzhou City reopened. The people in the city also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their former lives.

Chen Mang and his party continued to set off on the road, and because of the extra Elder Shi and others, they also bought some vehicles and horses to carry.

Chen Mang rode in front of him, secretly putting fleas on Tang Yu's body, teasing Tang Yu, who was a little fat on his cheeks.

Tang Yu didn't understand why, so he felt a little itchy on his head and kept scratching his head.

Elder Shi looked at Tang Yu's unstable appearance and scolded him with some displeasure: "How many times have you said to you, be steady, stand like a pine tree, sit like a clock, especially in front of the princess, how are you feeling irritable!"

Tang Yu looked at his adoptive father helplessly: "Enjoyed father, for some reason, my head has been itchy since this morning."

Elder Shi said angrily: "You dare to argue, I think you are just frivolous and need to strengthen etiquette training!"

Tang Yu instantly collapsed, Chen Mang laughed beside him and said, "Elder Shi, don't blame Tang Yu anymore. It's normal for his head to itch. Maybe he's going to start his brain."

Tang Yu was afraid that his adoptive father would be angry, so he quickly agreed: "Yes, adoptive father, I might be starting to open my brain!"

"Ah hahaha!"

Li Xiaoyao laughed apart, looked at Tang Yu with his back and forth and said, "That's right, you really have to grow your brain! I'm so laughing to death. You're even more Ah Qi than Ah Qi. I'll tell you that in the future, forget it!"

Tang Yu said in a daze: "Who is A Qi?"

Li Xiaoyao held back his smile and looked at Liu Jinyuan: "Aqi is the guy behind you. Once he went out and walked seven steps to go back to check if the door lock was locked. He walked seven steps to wipe his shoes. After walking seven steps, he actually ran back to confirm that the lock was not locked... It was so silly and cute. I feel that you are twice as cute as him. I will call you fourteen in the future!"

Tang Yu waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Liu is the top scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Yu is a rough man, how can he compare with Brother Liu!"

Liu Jinyuan smiled and said, "Give me a prize, a prize."

Tang Yu quickly replied: "You are kind, you are kind."

Chen Mang looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile. He took back the full flea and found that it looked at the mountains ahead with saliva, as if he wanted to run there.

After a closer look, there was a golden toad spirit in front of him, dragging a rich businessman toward the mountain.

The fat businessman did not resist, and looked desperate, letting the golden toad drag it towards the mountain.

This businessman is the antique merchant in the inn whose purple gold gourd was stolen by Chen Mang, and Liu Shimei.

Liu Shimei was once a scholar, a fake man from Beihai, and went to ask the rich lady Liu Meiniang to practice the secret of the family's golden toads to avenge his family.

After practicing the Golden Toad secret book, it is powerful, but its side effect is that it destroys its appearance. Liu Meiniang couldn't help but beg Liu Shimei. Because she loved him deeply, she practiced the Golden Toad secret book, avenging Liu Shimei's family.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shimei was ruined because half of her face was ruined, and she found a new love and left.

Liu Meiniang could not withstand such a blow, and her temperament changed drastically. From then on, she lived deep in a cave in the Toad Valley and was accompanied by the golden toad.

Liu Shimei spent most of her life to buy a purple gold gourd, but was stolen by Chen Mang. In addition, she received a letter, and the little wife at home took away his remaining property and eloped with the groom. In despair, she was already in love with her at this time. Even if she was captured by the golden toad who had married her, she had no intention of resisting.

Zhao Ling'er keenly noticed a trace of demonic aura, poked her head out of the carriage, cast a spell to look into the mountain, frowned slightly, "There is a monster to catch people!"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to it, the cycle of heaven and law, and the retribution."

Zhao Ling'er hesitated for a moment, followed Chen Mang's instructions, and then looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, do you want to come to the carriage to rest?"

Lin Yueru rode on the horse, with a vigilant expression on her face, jumped up from the horse's back, and turned around to the carriage: "Ling'er, don't worry about this smelly egg, let's sit in the carriage!"

Li Xiaoyao made a face at her: "Who cares! Riding a horse is much more casual than riding a carriage!"

Lin Yueru snorted, put down the curtain of the carriage, and pulled Zhao Ling'er back into the carriage.

Elder Shi looked at the three of them and shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's a bad fate."

Chen Mang smiled: "No matter what they do, the young people should choose their own affairs. We outsiders will let it go."

Although Qing'er repeatedly threatened to be with Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao, Chen Mang did not mean to force the match, but instead gave Lin Yueru a chance to compete fairly with Zhao Ling'er.

I wanted Chen Mang to go against his will and forcefully match the two people together. With Nuwa and Qing'er's current abilities, it was still not enough, that was another price...

Elder Shi frowned and looked at Chen Mang. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Young Master Chen, are you really just going to our Nanzhao Kingdom to escort the princess back?"

Elder Shi was filled with worries. A month of worship had already made Elder Shi anxious. In addition, Chen Mang, who looked even more evil than a month of worship, would he have evil intentions for Nanzhao Kingdom?

Chen Mang glanced at Elder Shi and said, "Of course not. I still have to go to Nanzhao to perform all my knowledge and help Ling'er benefit the people of Nanzhao."

Elder Shi was relieved when he heard this.

Thinking about it, in his understanding, people like Chen Mang can be willing to be ordinary, and it is normal to have ambitions. As long as he does not harm the people of Nanzhao like worshiping the moon, it is not unacceptable.

As they were walking, Chen Mang and others came to a town.

The streets are filled with colorful lanterns, which makes people overwhelmed.

Anu jumped off the horse with excitement, came to a pink exquisite lantern, and said to Tang Yu: "Tang Yu Xiaobao, look at this lantern is so beautiful, can you buy it for me?"

Tang Yu smiled and said dotingly: "Okay!"

The vendor selling lanterns smiled and said, "Girl, you really know how to choose. This is the Kongming lantern I made specially! Just write your wishes on it and then let them fly to the sky to realize your wishes. The Lantern Festival is coming soon. Girl, do you want to buy a few more?"

Anu said in surprise: "It can really realize Anu's wish! By the way, why is it called Kongming lantern?"

Chen Mang smiled: "Of course it's because of Zhuge Kongming. When Zhuge Kongming saw that the emperor was playing with the queen in the palace all day long, and he could not give birth to a prince to inherit the throne, he could not enter the palace himself, so he was very anxious, so he summoned a group of important officials to discuss and wanted to depose the queen..."

Annu's eyes lit up and he rushed to say, "Then Zhuge Kongming made a flying lantern, wrote his advice on the lantern, and let it fly into the palace?"

Chen Mang said with a strange look: "Uh, of course not. Zhuge Kongming did not have such great ability. The queen later found out about this. In anger, the queen hung Zhuge Kongming on a flying lantern and hung him all night. After that, no one in the court dared to mention the deposed queen again. The lantern used to hang Zhuge Kongming was called Kongming lanterns because of this."

“???”

Anu looked at Chen Mang in surprise, feeling that the queen of Zhongyuan seemed to be more playful than her Anu!

While the group was walking around the Lantern Street, in Shu Mountain, an old man with white hair and beard stood on the clear lake in the back mountain. His cloth shoes were not wet, and his brows were slightly frowning at the changing white clouds in the blue sky.

Let me add that the novel app I am using recently, [app], supports Android and Apple phones!

"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, so let me be willful again and protect the last trace of Nuwa's bloodline." After saying that, there was no movement, his body flashed several times, and he had moved out of the range of Shushan.
