Chapter 544: Pretending to be Dead

The first fireworks exploded in the night sky at a height of 100 meters, completely igniting the emotions of the entire Xianyang people, no matter where they were, all of them were as if they had been immobilized, and their eyes were looking at the highest canopy in the center of the city.

Outside Xianyang City, in the mountains, even the Chang'an Palace, Leyouyuan, and Lishan Mausoleum dozens of miles away were awakened by this explosion, in this Weihe Plain where there are no high-rise buildings to block it, and the fireworks that exploded in the night sky at a height of 100 meters are really like a spell cast by immortals, with its splendor and beauty, everyone was shocked to the point of losing their souls.

Qin Shi Huang and the civil and military officials who participated in the banquet stood on the square in front of Ganquan Palace, looking up at the fading fireworks and shadows in the sky, all of them were like clay sculptures.

On the steps in front of the main hall of the court, Chen Xu held Ying Shiyan's hand with one hand, and the water with the other hand, and the two little girls also held the water softly and Ying Shiyan's arms, looking up at the fireworks traces on the canopy that were like stars.

"Boom~Bang~~"

In just a few seconds, just when the light and shadow of the first fireworks gradually disappeared, the second cannon barrel spewed out a strong flame, and after an instant, there was another explosion, and another colorful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, covering an area of 100 zhang, although it had no shape, although it was so fleeting, but at this time, there was no other existence in the eyes of all the people who looked up and watched, and there was no longer any fear and fear in their minds, as if between heaven and earth, were all at the moment when the fireworks were in full bloom, All that remains is the flame of extreme beauty.

"Boom Boom Boom~~"

One after another, the barrels of the guns spewed flames, and one after another fireworks burst into the night sky.

In the thick and exciting smoke of gunpowder, the whole square was filled with smoke.

Above the sky, colorful fireworks exploded in the sky to illuminate the night sky of the entire Xianyang City.

Many people slowly recovered from the shock and sluggishness, and some people in the crowd began to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and then spread like a plague, whether it was on the square in front of Xianyang Palace, or in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, countless people knelt down in pieces, their faces full of reverence and fascination.

Not only the people, but even the concubines and princesses in front of the palace, many people also knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, their faces full of piety and excitement.

If this wasn't fairy, what else would it be?

If this is not immortal art, then there will be no more so-called immortal magic in the world!

And the legend of Qinghe Hou is the disciple of Taiyi Xianzun.

So more people began to turn the direction of kowtowing and began to kowtow to Chen Xu's location.

Looking at the crowd of people kowtowing to him in the huge square, Chen Xu jumped a few times with a slight face, but he didn't speak, because the sound of the fireworks explosion was too loud, and no one could hear what he said.

What's more, it's useless to explain this kind of thing, since you pretended to be forced from the beginning, no matter what happens in the future, you have to continue to pretend until you die.

The nine-tube fireworks in the first row were launched, and sure enough, two of them were lifted into the air but did not sound, but the two dumb slaves still fired two additional rounds at the end according to Chen Xu's arrangement, so that the first round of launches was a complete success, and the launch process was suspended, waiting for the smoke in the square to dissipate.

"It's incredible, if this is not immortal art, I don't know if there are any other immortals between heaven and earth who dare to call immortal magicians?" Outside the Ganquan Palace, Feng Qu, who was standing beside Qin Shi Huang, looked up at the sky where the fireworks had dispersed, and there seemed to be a remnant of colorful streamers in his eyes.

"Such a violent explosion, and with the power of lightning and thunder, when it just exploded, the minister felt that the heavens and the earth were shaking, and his mind was almost lost, if this divine thunder firework can be used on the battlefield, it only takes a few strokes to make the enemy frightened, and the army will collapse before the war starts!" Although Wang Ben was also frightened by this divine thunder firework several times, as a great general, what he thought of at this time was not the beauty of this firework, but its power.

"What Tongwu Hou said is right, such a terrifying lightning and thunder suddenly exploded among the enemy troops, I am afraid that even if you are not killed, you will definitely be scared to death, if you use it on the battlefield, such an immortal art will be an artifact to win!" Li Xin, who had returned victoriously, also nodded.

"What the two generals said is good!" Many ministers nodded in agreement.

However, Qin Shi Huang looked up in the direction of the Chaoyi Hall, and after a long silence, he stroked his beard and said: "Don't discuss this matter, you Aiqing, only watch the Divine Thunder fireworks today!" ”

Hearing the emperor say this, everyone was silent, and then quietly waited together to watch the next divine thunder fireworks.

Sure enough, half a moment later, a loud bang was heard again in the night sky, and then I saw a firelight rising in the center of the square in front of the main hall of the court, and then with a loud bang on the pitch-black sky, a colorful fireworks exploded again, followed by a series of fireworks rising into the sky, and a ball of flames like glass smoke bloomed, dyeing the sky above the entire Xianyang City.

In the inn of the pawn state that entertained the barbarians, a group of Xiongnu princes and nobles who were detained and confined here and envoys from Xinli and other countries also knelt in the courtyard, watching the dazzling fireworks on the canopy in the deafening roar, and their faces were frightened and sluggish, and their whole bodies were trembling violently.

There is no need for an interpreter explanation from the post house, this is definitely a legendary fairy spell.

At this moment, these people could no longer find any words to describe their mood except fear and fear.

Half an hour before and after, a full twenty-seven fireworks, a full twenty-seven fireworks, exploded, after the fireworks, the two dumb slaves removed the fuses of the spare few unlit barrels, and then put all the barrels into several large wooden boxes, and even packed up a few fireworks, which did not explode and fell, and then quickly left the square under the escort of the forbidden army.

A large amount of dirt and scraps of paper were scattered within a radius of hundreds of feet at the scene, and a strong and pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The crowd of onlookers was still immersed in the beautiful fireworks and couldn't extricate themselves, and there were dense people kneeling around the square.

"The fireworks are over, let's go back too!" Holding the water and gently holding the fifth princess, like countless people, Chen Xu raised his eyes to the sky for a long time before he withdrew his eyes and said with a smile.

"Qingrou never thought that the Divine Thunder Fireworks made by the husband would be so beautiful!" Shui gently withdrew her eyes, and her eyes flashed with a faint light.

"It's really beautiful, Shi Yan has never seen such a beautiful night scene, thank you Qinghe Hou today, Shi Yan farewell!"

Ying Shiyan was frightened by the roar of the cannon barrel at the moment when the first salute bomb was lifted into the air, but then Chen Xu held her little hand tightly, and then she instantly forgot all her fears, and her heart was like a deer crashing around, for fear of being seen by Shui Qingrou Seeing her and Chen Xu's intimate movements, but Shui Qingrou didn't seem to see it, or said that she saw it but acquiesced to it, and her mood slowly calmed down and began to appreciate this unprecedented fireworks scene.

At this time, the fireworks were over, and Ying Shiyan knew that it was time for her to leave.

"Princess, go slowly!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded, Ying Shiyan walked down the steps, and almost at the same time, a group of palace maids, palace people, and forbidden soldiers came out of the crowd and hugged Ying Shiyan back to the palace.

"When does the husband plan to marry the fifth princess?" Shui gently and gently hugged Chen Xu's arm and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's go back too, and we'll talk about it later!" Chen Xu shook his head slightly, led the water and gently boarded the carriage.

After Fan Caiying, Wanwan and Chen Ping watched Chen Xu's family leave, they left the square in twos and threes.

It's bound to be a night of a lifetime.

Because of the cancellation of the curfew, most of the people in the square stayed until after the hour before slowly dispersing, and all the scraps of paper that fell on the square after the explosion of the fireworks bombs were picked up by the people and the magicians, and they were taken home either to be contaminated with a little fairy spirit, or to study some fairy machines, in short, when the crowd was dispersed, except for some broken lanterns and barbecue bamboo sticks that were trampled on, there was hardly any residue after the fireworks explosion in the entire square.

And after this night, the reputation of the disciples of the Qinghe Hou Xian family was once again raised a lot, as if there was a real immortal sitting in Xianyang City, before dawn, many people went out of the city in groups to worship the Taiyi Temple to worship incense, and many people even offered Chen Xu's spiritual seat at home to burn incense, praying for the Qinghe Hou to bless the promotion of officials and good health, and by the way, also pray for the treatment of infertility and impotence and premature ejaculation and other minor diseases.

According to yesterday's arrangement, today Xianyang will be a lively and busy day.

On weekdays, when he went to the court, Chen Xu also got up early and went to the court.

However, today is not the early dynasty, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and princes and princes will follow the emperor to worship the Taimiao and report the victory news of the great victory in Henan and Hebei to the ancestors of Great Qin.

After watching last night's fireworks, when they came to the square in front of the court hall today, almost everyone looked at Chen Xu's face more respectful, and even Meng Yi, who had never been accustomed to Chen Xu, bowed to him very politely, and almost got up with a pestle when Chen Xu got off the carriage.

"How can the Montennese be so polite today?" Chen Xu twitched and returned the salute to Meng Yi, and at the same time couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"When does the Marquis of Qinghe plan to marry the little girl?" Meng Yi's face was the same as before.

Chen Xu turned his head directly and stopped talking to Meng Yi, and turned to greet Li Si who was standing next to him.

"Li Xianghao, hey, could it be that Li Xiang didn't sleep well last night, why are his eyes black?"

Li Si's slightly gray eyebrows and beard shook slightly, and he smiled: "The weather is hot and dry, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully, not to mention that the old man is now old, and he really didn't sleep well last night!" ”

"I see, I thought Li Xiang had married another concubine and overworked last night!" Before Li Si could refute, Chen Xu had already turned around and said hello to Feng Qu with a haha.

Just when a group of people were chatting and farting with each other hypocritically, the gate of the palace opened, and a group of guards wearing black armor and holding Changge came out, followed by black-clothed and masked Xuanwu guards escorting the six-horse Son of Heaven Jade Rim out, Qin Shi Huang was wearing a dragon-patterned Xuanzhi, wearing a jade crown and sitting on it, his body was slightly fat and majestic, and the civil and military officials and princes and princes who were chatting noisily in the entire square were all quiet in an instant.

"Invite the Marquis of Qinghe to ride with me!" After the carriage stopped, Qin Shi Huang commanded.

"Your Majesty invites the Marquis of Qinghe to ride the jade chariot with you!" With a long shout from a waiter in the car, the eyes of thousands of people in the square fell on the youngest Hou Ye almost at the same time, and then a hula commotion flashed a passage.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still walked down the passage with a calm face and walked to the side of the Son of Heaven's car and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Watching Chen Xu pouting his ass with the help of the palace people and climbing into the car of the Son of Heaven, and then sitting on the low couch talking and laughing with the emperor, the hearts of the princes and ministers of civil and military affairs in the whole square were sour.

But thinking of the unprecedented divine thunder fireworks last night, the sourness in many hearts quickly faded into a slight fear, in this world, in addition to the emperor can not be provoked, there is now another person who cannot be provoked, that is the Marquis of Qinghe.

Because the Marquis of Qinghe not only won the emperor's favor, but also the terrifying immortal art of Taiyi Shenlei, if he was unhappy one day, he would throw one directly in his mansion in the middle of the night, and he was afraid that his life would not be saved.
