"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll go guard the city gate tomorrow." A muffled shout interrupted the discussion among the Jin Yiwei.
They turned around and saw the commander of the Jinyiwei standing behind them at some point.
The commander frowned, with a majestic look on his face. He glanced at them fiercely and motioned for them to look towards the steps.
Several Jinyi guards turned around and saw Yu Sheng showing his big white teeth to them. They quickly turned back and stood up straight, secretly praying that Yu Sheng would not hear their conversation.
The Thunder Car drove by quickly, with beautiful lanterns hung on the car. There was a Brontosaurus flapping its wings in the sky, decorating the sky with streaks of lightning.
Maomao's father-in-law's craftsmanship is really good. Although it is not as stunning as the painting of birds facing the phoenix, it does not prevent the people from watching it with gusto.
After seeing a white radish hanging in front of the Maomao donkey lantern, many people burst into laughter.
The team from Zhaixinglou quickly passed by, followed by other merchants, including Zuiyue Tower, Happy Forest, etc., all of whom had some reputation.
For them, this was a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves, at least that was what Boss Wang thought. He walked in front holding a lantern high.
The lamp is a five-pointed star with the three characters "Dark Crow City" written on it.
The lanterns held by the people behind were all dusky crows, with the words "We sincerely invite people to enter the city" written on their wings.
"Hey, this grandson actually poached us." Yu Sheng said unhappily. Now he regards Yangzhou City as his own.
Boss Wang had expected it, and before Yu Sheng could take action, he saw the lantern at the back saying "Hunya City firmly supports the leadership of Yangzhou City Lord and Yu Alliance Leader."
Only then did Yu Sheng nod with satisfaction, "This guy knows his stuff."
After Boss Wang's parade of lanterns passed by, they were followed by spontaneous people.
They were holding various kinds of lanterns in their hands, which may not be as exquisite as those of the team in front, but they all have their own thoughts and ideas in them, which makes them look fresh.
The people watching on the roadside also walked out from time to time to follow the team, making the team even larger.
After walking for more than half an hour, the tail of the team finally appeared. It turned out to be a car.
The car went very slowly, about the same speed as walking. There were several rat lanterns hanging on the car, and there were many children carrying lanterns around it.
Yu Sheng walked down the steps and saw the Taoist priest standing with the car door open. In front of him was a flat plate with an open rat box on which a rat show was being performed.
Although the sky is dark, there is no need to worry about seeing clearly.
Yu Sheng poked his head into the mouse box and saw miniature lanterns hanging all over the city, clearly illuminating the movements of the little mice.
There are even little mice parading through the streets carrying small lanterns that emit faint light. From time to time they make some moves and meet some people, making people laugh.
"Not bad, not bad, Taoist priest, you have a good idea." Yu Sheng was full of praise.
The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows proudly to Yu Sheng and followed You Deng's team.
The city lord then descended the steps and, accompanied by the commander of the Jinyi Guards, led Yu Sheng and the others towards the high platform of the square.
Yu Sheng relied on his ability to fly, and from time to time he jumped into the air and looked north. He saw that the tail of the lights was still at the corner of North Street, and the leading team was already wandering in the alley to the northwest.
Viewed from a high place, the procession of swimming lanterns looks like a very long snake, swimming in zigzags, which is very beautiful.
Looking at this lively scene for the rest of my life, I felt a sense of pride rising in my heart for no reason.
The parade of lanterns has to walk from street to street. Walking on the street, you can hear the sound of gongs and drums coming and going.
When passing through an alley, you will be surprised to find a team of traveling lanterns walking through it.
For the rest of my life, I left my aunt and flew above the lantern procession to join in the fun. I saw people standing on both sides of the streets and alleys, some holding lanterns, and some just watching the fun.
Some merchants or wealthy families will open their doors with red lanterns and put chairs in front of the doors for people who walk in the lanterns to rest when the procession is slow.
There are fruits, tea, and even wine on the table next to you. When you meet someone you know or don’t know, you can pour a few glasses of wine and exchange a few words, and the New Year atmosphere will come out.
Returning to the city lord, as we approached the square, the lively atmosphere came over us again.
It turned out that not everyone went to see the lanterns, but many people were holding lanterns and were active in the square.
With the arrival of the city lord, the commander of the Jinyiwei waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei stepped forward and dispersed the people gathered in the center of the square to the edge.
Shi Jingtian, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, led his bearded man up to the high platform and handed over to the city lord, Yu Sheng and Yu Shiyu.
The bearded Gunpowder Immortal crossed over Shi Jingtian and offered his hand to the city lord: "Chang'an Huoyao'er has met your lord."
He said these words very solemnly. He held his hands in a respectful manner. He raised his head and said, "I have heard my father tell me the rules of traveling lanterns in Chang'an many times before. I thought I would never see him again..."
There was some choking in his tone, and he paused before continuing: "I didn't expect to see him again in Yangzhou City today."
Miss Zhao was also a little emotional, but she had to restrain herself, "I'll leave the fireworks to you."
"Don't worry, Huo Yao'er will definitely recreate the grand scene of Chang'an at that time." After saying that, he led people down the steps to arrange the arrangements.
The twins beside Shi Jingtian also went to help, leaving only the old man carrying the bamboo basket behind him.
At this time, the bamboo basket was pushed open, and the little mummy wrapped in white cloth looked around curiously.
"This peaceful scene must be maintained." Shi Jingtian glanced at the people around him and said to Yu Sheng, "Leader Yu, we can only defeat Yuqi if we work together."
The Godslayer Alliance is also waiting to kill Yuqi to become famous and make its own reputation instantly.
"Oh, it's easy to say. Yuqi is no longer the ancient god. Who knows what kind of body the witch has put on him." Yu Sheng said.
"Leader Yu, please don't increase the prestige of the enemy. No body can be as powerful as your mother, right?" Shi Jingtian said.
"That's true." Yu Sheng nodded in agreement. Yu Shiyu rolled her eyes beside her. She had a lot of opinions about Yu Sheng's mother.
In her opinion, Lao Yu betrayed his mother, and he probably betrayed him because of the power of King Donghuang.
Yu Sheng still wanted to talk, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had been guarding the steps of the high platform came over and said, "City Lord, the Fox Demon King and his wife are asking for an audience."
After a pause, the commander of the Jinyi Guards continued: "Coming with us are the Lord of Wolf Castle, King Hukou of the Tiger's Mouth, and Mr. Shi Shansan."
The city lord was drinking tea when he heard this and raised his eyebrows, "Hey, three demon kings are actually here. It's really rare. Please come."
"Yes." The commander of the Jinyi Guards walked down and quickly led seven people to the high platform.
There was a red light hanging next to it. It couldn't be said to be transparent, but it was enough for Yu Sheng to see these people clearly.
Standing in the middle is a man with a strong back and a muscular body, wearing a tiger skin coat, with a big "王" character on his forehead and a slender face.
Standing to his left was a man with a thin face and a sinister gaze. The belt around his waist was similar to Yu Sheng's, but the difference was a ferocious wolf head.
