Chapter 53: The Torch Festival Escape (4)
The procession in the narrow streets and alleys gradually merged into the mainstream, so that the procession gradually became long and immense, and their enthusiasm for revelry also increased with the gathering of the Galaxy Square, and the prelude to the festival was quietly opened.

"Na'er...... You see their grass skirts are so special! Man'er said in amazement.
The process of the two sneaking out of Jingyuan Palace was quite smooth, except for Man'er who had to use illusions to charm a few royal guards stationed outside the west hall of Jingyuan Palace, the other patrol guards were attracted to other places by Jin Na'er in a clever way.
At this moment, when Man'er looked around at this strange and lively street scene, the tension she suppressed in her heart gradually faded, and she suddenly felt that in fact, the people living in the medical clan were not as boring as she imagined.
Man'er's heart jumped "poof", because not far away, someone held up a half-fake corpse, wearing a skull mask, looking very terrifying and hideous.
Jinna'er's fishbone blade flashed out of the cuffs of her robe.
Someone suddenly bumped Jin Na'er's shoulder, and through the mask, Jin Na'er's cold eyes stared straight at the comer.
Man'er immediately comforted her in her ear: "Relax, relax, it's just that the crowd is too crowded." β
In the procession, the vast majority of people are dressed normally, either ornate or primitive, or bizarre or spirit-animal contending. Man'er and Jin Na'er only need to be careful to avoid the extraordinarily scary pranksters, and everything will go smoothly.
The two of them merge from the branch to the long line, and they follow the team mightily forward, and with each intersection, the crowd on the branch of the road automatically merges into the mainstream team, so that the main team becomes larger and more magnificent.
Along the way, the procession cheered and boiled, and the chaotic vocals overlapped with the music, and finally merged into a noisy sound wave, one after another, which was particularly lively.
Each person had a torch in their hands, causing a hazy orange-red light to illuminate the countless lengthy processions.
The torch in Man'er's hand exuded a somewhat pungent burnt smell, and the flames leaped upward, sometimes changing direction with the wind, and Man'er couldn't help but start complaining quietly, the flames scorched her eyes with a hot sting.
In the Snow Yang Palace, General Hongji was still sitting on the ground behind Kieran. Because at night, through a door, the candle flame in the hall will expose the figures of the people inside.
General Hongji was alert to the movement outside the hall, and at the same time persuaded bitterly.
However, this method did not work, and Lu Ze's voice was still as cold as jade, "Sometimes, people are just a habit, and when they get used to it, life is not so difficult. β
"Has Your Highness never had the idea of escaping? The old man doesn't believe it! The general frowned, scrutinizing Luze's face.
Lu Ze played with the edge of the cup with his slender fingers, and his expression became silent and cold, "It's not that there are no thoughts, but there is not much certainty." β
General Hongji was surprised: "What about the secret guards around His Highness?" β
The cup made a "bell" sound on the table, "Undoubtedly, it should have been assassinated." Ruze replied with a blank face.
The general pondered for a long time before lowering his voice and asking, "Your Royal Highness, does Your Royal Highness know that Princess Man'er is also in the Sacred Capital now?" β
Lu Ze was stunned, frowning in disbelief, and after a moment, his lips softened, and a touch of joy and excitement floated, "She's here to save me?" β
The general looked embarrassed and shouted: "Your Highness, Princess Man'er is making trouble in the Galaxy Square at this time, because the old man's hands are really pitiful, so he can only ......"
Lu Ze's gentle and modest face suddenly turned gloomy, "Uncle shouldn't put Man'er in danger. β
The general subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, because two figures outside the hall were walking back and forth.
General Hongji hurriedly booed: "If Your Highness doesn't leave again, I'm afraid that the princess will not be able to get out smoothly after finally rushing to Sangala Harbor!" β
Lu Ze's right hand pouring tea suddenly trembled, and the pale green hot tea suddenly turned off the angle and spilled out.
Galaxy Plaza
Above the night, a lonely moon hangs high, and the stars fall into the mortal dust.
On the Galaxy Plaza stand two small twin red towers, only three storeys, connected by a symbolic silver-bronze arch bridge.
Under the top of the moon-silver spire, there is an empty altar, and on weekdays, the inky blue tent hangs low all around, and there are crystal tassels like stars floating outside the tent.
For such a grand celebration as today, the inky blue tabernacle was allowed to be raised, and the silk curtain slid across the half-moon arc at the top of the beams, and finally was tied to the holy pillars on either side.
Loilai's ancestors once referred to themselves as servants of the moon and people of the stars, and this twin towers also symbolize the moon and stars.
Among them, the sanctuary of the Moon Tower is more luxuriously decorated, with a full moon-shaped viewing platform and a narrow crescent-shaped dining table.
The other tower is more elegantly decorated, with an unobstructed faΓ§ade supported by eight semi-openwork stone pillars carved with star flowers, the front half of which is a dance floor, and the back half of which can accommodate more than 30 musicians.
At this time, the Galaxy Square had already been crowded with people, people were rubbing shoulders, and many torches were forced to be extinguished to avoid accidental burns.
The melodious and lengthy horn sound resounded throughout the audience, and with the sound of the bell tower's "bell", the singer sang loudly: "The bonfire festival is about to begin!" β
The sound of torches being extinguished by water sounded in the air, and the light flashed away little by little, and gradually, darkness descended on the Galaxy Square again.
At this moment, only the twin red towers, with rows of torches, are exceptionally bright under the night sky.
The sound of the trumpets gradually stopped, and the cacophony of human voices faded into silence.
The crowd fell completely silent, and they all looked up in the direction of the Twin Red Towers.
King Oss stood on the moon platform, his flag fluttering and rattling in the wind not far from him. Under the tower, there are black pressed human heads, and under the reflection of the fire of the red tower, you can vaguely see masks of different shapes and thousands of strange shapes.
Although there was a steady stream of figures in the crowd, it was very quiet, and everyone waited patiently for the king's speech.
Standing in the midst of the dark crowd, Man'er also opened a pair of ice blue eyes, long and curved eyelashes blinked, and her gaze was quietly fixed on Os's body.
The blinding light of the fire was behind him, and the effect of light and shadow illuminated his handsome figure unusually tall and straight.
Oss was dressed as he had ever been, with a purple-gold sash on his black velvet robe with a stand-up collar, the only festive decorations being the golden ear of wheat that wound around his chest and waist, and the openwork and jeweled gold crown on his head, which symbolized supreme royal power.
