Chapter 178 Mingjiao, Saint Aunt

 Fang La looked at Fang Baihua and said calmly: "It was the Holy Aunt's intention to make a lantern festival, but it was Tian Hu's men's intention to burn Tokyo City, and the Holy Aunt had no objection at all."

Fang Baihua hesitated and said: "So the reason why Saint Aunt made an appointment to meet in Tokyo is to cause trouble in the city?"

Fang La said: "It's not easy to guess what Saint Aunt is thinking. There is always some truth to it."

Fang Baihua said: "Yes, Saint Aunt is very skilled in martial arts. I heard that she defeated dozens of masters who invaded by Zoroastrianism there, and also captured the three fire shields of Zoroastrianism. Now that she supports our Central Plains Mingjiao, great things will definitely happen."

Fang La nodded, looked at Fang Baihua, and said: "Counting the time, Saint Aunt should have finished practicing. Let's invite Saint Aunt over to discuss matters."

Fang Baihua took the order and went out. After a while, the door opened and a woman in black slowly walked in with her hands behind her hands.

This woman has a cold temperament, a slim and delicate figure, and her face is covered with black gauze. After the door was opened, a cold wind blew through her. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the wind blew up the corners of the black gauze on her face, revealing a faint hint of snow...

Zhao Tong was sitting in the palace, dispatching troops and generals, and Quan Zhi Kaifeng Palace Teng Tu was accompanying him. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces. The Lantern Festival was no different than other festivals. There were usually not many people walking around on the streets during the first few days of the new year, but

The Lantern Festival is the day with the most people on the streets during the entire New Year celebration.

Especially during today's lantern festival, there is no curfew at night in Tokyo. Not only must we prevent theft and robbery, but we must also prevent fires.

Kaifeng Mansion simply didn't have enough manpower, so they asked the Forbidden Army to come forward to coordinate some public security matters, and then handed it over to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Tong's arrangement was simple. In fact, he sent troops to surround the three major deng markets, leaving only the entrance and exit.

If a thousand soldiers are not enough for a city, then two thousand. If two thousand are not enough, then three thousand. Anyway, he has soldiers now, so this simplest and crudest method is often the most effective.

As long as there are no major problems in the lantern market, everything else will be easy to handle. The two night markets in Zhouqiao and Baotou overlap, which saves a lot of trouble.

As for the number of patrols on ordinary streets, double the number and add cavalry patrols.

In this way, even if there are gangsters who deliberately cause trouble, or bandits who have sneaked into the city with bad intentions, it will be difficult to do anything big.

After the arrangement was completed, Teng Tu bowed and left. Zhao Tao glanced at Tan Zhen and said, "I'll leave everything to Tan Zhen in the evening."

Tan Zhendao: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely do a good job in this matter."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "This year is no better than in the past. I don't worry about anything else. It's just that Tian Hu in the north is making a lot of noise. People in the green forest are most willing to join in the fun. You have to be careful and guard against it."

Tan Zhen looked at Zhao Tong's leaving figure and felt a little confused. Could it be that the people in the green forest really liked to make lanterns as mentioned in the storybook? But it was a storybook after all. Did the young prince read too many miscellaneous books and plays?

When Zhao Tong returned home, it was getting late, and the lights on the streets suddenly turned on, red and colorful, in various shapes, everywhere, and the city of Tokyo was gradually dyed with a dreamy color.

Go to the mansion and ask Zhang Zhenniang, Zhang Xian and others to go out to enjoy the lanterns. They also take Su Shileisan and ten guards with them.

When we arrived at South Zhuque Street, we first went to Suiyulou to have a rest and drink tea. It turned out that the lantern market was opened in front of Suiyulou, so it was convenient to watch it from upstairs.

Zhang Xian had recovered from his injuries in Broken Jade Tower, so he was familiar with the people in the building. He knew that these people were different from Zhao Tong's subordinate guards. They were all direct subordinates, and they were all addressed as young masters, and they were rarely respected as princes.

It's just that the last time he lived here, the heroes were very lively and kept making dirty jokes. Especially Ouyang Bei, who simply knew everything in heaven and earth. When he talked about allusions, he was stunned.

However, the person who got along best with him was Shi Qian, but until now, he didn't know what kind of skills this person had. He was not eye-catching in the building, but he also liked to talk.

But when he went upstairs today, he saw that everyone was solemn and solemn, as if they had changed. He was wondering in his heart. When Zhao Tong and his sister walked past, they immediately showed their true colors and winked. There were two more

Conversing secretly using lip language.

Zhang Xian didn't know lip reading, so he didn't know what he said. It didn't sound serious anyway, but Huang Gu coughed and became serious again.

Zhao Tong sat by the window and asked Xiao Niang and Zhang Xian to sit down. Huang Gu also pulled a chair over.

The young lady didn’t know where this place was, and she didn’t know anyone. She looked around and felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhang Xian explained that he was recuperating here and being taken care of by everyone. Then he calmed down and stood up to give him a hand.

Everyone salutes and thanks.

No one was willing to accept it, and they all ran behind Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong frowned and said: "A bunch of useless things!"

He looked at Huang Gu, who lowered his head to drink tea. Zhao Tong asked, "Have they been allocated?"

Huang Gu said: "It's done. I'll take people to Zhouqiao. The Ding brothers are on Zhuque Street. Ouyang Bei will take people to have their heads wrapped. They can leave at any time."

Zhao Tong nodded and dispersed all the people in Broken Jade Building out just in case. They wouldn't stay in the building tonight anyway, so they might as well spread them out evenly and be prepared.

At this time, the atmosphere below became increasingly lively. A three-foot-long carp lantern was actually lit. There were several lights in it and hundreds of lantern riddles were written on the lamp body. It was clearly visible even from upstairs.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said, "Let's all go out and let Su Yi stay in the building."

Everyone followed the order and went downstairs one after another. Zhao Tong also took Xiaoniang and Zhang Xian downstairs...

In an inn not far from Zhouqiao, several people were filing out of the inn at this moment, one woman and five men.

But he said this woman was born well:

Her fingers are as tender as lotus roots in a lotus pond, her waist is as weak as a Zhangtai willow, her steps are filled with gold, and her peach cheeks are reflected with green eyebrows. When I look back under the lamp tonight, I will always see a jade fairy descending to the Xiu Mountain in Wushan.

The woman is young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and wears a small crimson coat. Although she is unparalleled in beauty, she carries an air of heroism when she moves around. She is obviously the best among them.

After leaving the inn and going up to Zhouqiao, you can see the gorgeous scenery everywhere. Looking at the bustling night scene, the woman's eyes were slightly confused, but she suddenly regained her clarity and gritted her teeth and said: "Do you remember what to do?"

The people behind them all whispered: "Yes, Princess!"

The woman said: "I have told you several times, please don't call me that again. This is Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo. If you are not careful, you will be captured and you will inevitably be punished and die!"

Several people immediately said: "I know, I know."

The woman added: "There are Xu Wei and Ye Qing over there at Baotou Street. There are three big... uncles over at Zhuque Street. There are only a few people here at Jianzhou Bridge. You must listen to my orders and don't act rashly."

One person whispered: "Ying Niang's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Even Uncle San... may not be able to match her. Our side will definitely succeed first, and we will make them envious."

The woman said: "As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Let's talk less. Let's go to the lantern market first."
