The doctor, Qiu Quan, once again acted as a translator, informing Kratos of Luo Shixin's intentions.

Now it was Kratos' turn to be dumbfounded.

General, the ...... who leads the troops to fight

These Kratos are not unaware that there are also zài in their west, and most of them are spectators in the arena, and only the aristocracy has the right to lead soldiers and horses across the field in the West. And he has been a slave since he was a child, and his greatest desire is to get rid of the slave body and find his own freedom.

Now Luo Shixin refused his request to be a slave for him, and gave him a position as a leader, saying that he believed that his strength could achieve certain results. didn't mean to treat him as a slave at all, and gave him a lot of respect, the lantern's big eyes actually gave birth to tears, and there was an indescribable excitement: whether it is life or death, this person, he will follow him!

Luo Shixin really has a headache, this guy is too easy to deceive, it is natural to give him a team leader with his martial arts, it is necessary to be moved like this. He didn't know that Kratos was originally a slave or a black slave, even among Western slaves, he was not welcomed, he was excluded everywhere, and he had nothing to do except for the martial arts who fought on the death line.

The King of Tianzhu has eyes but no beads, but treats him as an ordinary warrior and treats him as a Kunlun slave. For more than 30 years since he was a child, only Luo Shixin really respected him and treated him well. For him, the feeling of freedom is extraordinary.

Kratos was able to walk on the ground, but he was still limping and not healed.

Luo Shixin also let him recuperate, and by the way, he followed Qiu Quan to learn Chinese. Fortunately, it will be convenient to communicate in the future.

Before you know it, there is only one end left for the New Year, and it is the Shangyuan Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival is commonly known as the Lantern Festival, and there are many sayings about this festival. It was a festival that existed as early as the Qin Dynasty, but it was officially valued during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. There are also several kinds of sayings, some say that it is the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wen to commemorate the "Pinglu", and some say that the Shangyuan Festival is a festival derived from celebrating the birthday of the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, the latter was obviously adopted, because in order to improve the righteousness of the Li family, Li Yuan began to promote the Taoist ancestor Li Er, who was respected as Lao Tzu, as the ancestor of the Li family, at a very early stage. This is a celebration of the "ancestors", and it is naturally worthy of spare no effort. He also issued a special order to cancel the curfew everywhere in the world, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival. So that the world can have fun all night long.

After such promotion, the Shangyuan Festival has become the climax of the Spring Festival celebrations, and various programs are very prosperous. In particular, lanterns are prevalent and are even more famous.

Such a rare festive day. Luo Shixin was also reluctant to stay at home. Invite Fu Bo, Pei Shi, and Pei Xingjian to play. Fu Bo refused on the grounds of old age, and Pei Shi refused to go out with Luo Shixin, only Pei Xingjian looked forward to it.

Luo Shixin also took the little guy with him and toured Chang'an City at night.

Pei Xingjian has been living in the remote countryside with Fu Bo and Pei's family, and Luo Shixin was also sent to Jiangzhou as an official before, and he has never seen the Shangyuan lantern of Jingshi.

This went out of the mansion, and immediately noticed that the local Shangyuan lanterns were really small compared to Chang'an.

Local lanterns are villages and towns that choose an open place and gather together to make lanterns and put lanterns. Add joy. And Chang'an is not divided into locations, regardless of location. Almost every house has a variety of lanterns lit at the door. There was also a huge lantern hanging outside his mansion. At a glance, the whole street is hung with colorful lanterns, reflecting the red of the entire Chang'an, making it a city that never sleeps.

"It's beautiful!" Pei Xingjian is a little old, after all, he is a six-year-old baby, seeing that the entire Chang'an is bathed in the red candle flame, and even the dark night sky is red half of the sky under the light of the candle flame, as bright as the sunset, he can't help but sigh.

"Take you to fun places." Luo Shixin took the red horse, pulled Pei Xingjian on the horse, and went directly to Qujiangchi.

Qujiang Pond Tang Chang'an City southeast corner, because of the twists and turns of the water flow to get the name, because the scenery is beautiful since ancient times are the royal garden, in the Han Wu Emperor there are Yichun Garden, Yichun Houyuan and Leyou Garden, when the Sui Dynasty expanded Chang'an, the ground is chiseled for the pool, called the Hibiscus Pond, called the Garden is the Hibiscus Garden.

Because it is a royal garden, it is not allowed to enter the Hibiscus Garden, but the vast space near the Hibiscus Pond is a place for the people of Chang'an to gather and play. All the activities of the Shangyuan Festival can be enjoyed here.

This basic preparation, Luo Shixin still did it.

All the way slowly, Chang'an is already crowded, and most of the goals are the same, although it is not so exaggerated as crowding, groups of three or five together abound, even if there are horses, it is not fast.

Luo Shixin looked at the handsome and dashing rich children dressed up on the street and the young women who were showcasing flowers, and couldn't help but smile: In ancient times, this Lantern Festival was tantamount to Valentine's Day in later generations. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, everyone was not able to see it. Lantern Festival is just an opportunity for friendship, and unmarried men and women can also find the other half of their lives by the way.

"But I don't know if Zheng Liwan's girl will go!" This thought flashed through Luo Shixin's mind, and then came out, "If you can meet Princess Pingyang, it will be a good thing." ”

With such a thought, Luo Shixin couldn't help but be angry and funny, what's wrong with him, just think about Zheng Liwan, no matter what people say, they can be regarded as a fiancée. But Pingyang ......

Thinking of the appearance of Pingyang after a serious illness, Luo Shixin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, in his impression, Pingyang women did not let their eyebrows be bearded, revealing heroic wisdom everywhere, heroic posture, maybe to maintain majesty, not smiling. There is a little lofty in the stunning color, and there is a feeling that it can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed. But after this serious illness, Pingyang, who had changed his temperament, showed his daughter from time to time, but he was a little moved. Is it the so-called contrast cute?

The more Luo Shixin thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he hurriedly stopped thinking about it.

The closer you get to Qujiang Pond, the denser the tourists.

Luo Shixin had to identify himself and leave his love horse in a large family nearby.

When the other party heard that it was Luo Shixin, he did not hesitate to open the door of convenience and exclaimed that he would be a general.

After Luo Shixin thanked him, he led Pei Xingjian along the crowd to the bank of the Qujiang River.

This into the Qujiang River, the two of them are like entering a new world, shouting and playing, one after another huge lantern wheels, lamp trees, lampposts one after another, all over the fire trees and silver flowers, very prosperous and lively.

Pei Xingjian was dizzying, and pulled Luo Shixin to the lively place.

Luo Shixin also let him pull it, this little brother had a good time, and he also had a feeling that it was worth the trip. Because he is short, he can't see far away.

Luo Shixin simply carried him on his shoulder, allowing him to see further.

"Big brother, look at it, there and there!" Pei Xingjian suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "It's so lively there." ”

Luo Shixin raised his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but be amazed, there was a huge light wheel 100 meters away from them, tens of thousands of lanterns, reflecting each other, extremely spectacular.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Luo Shixin squeezed forward along the crowd, came to the near place and was even more amazed speechless, in front of them was a huge lamp tree, towering into the clouds, one zhang wide up to more than six zhang, wrapped in brocade around it, countless trees around, each branch is all over the color of the lamp, people are dazzled, can not see it, there are as many as 20,000 lamps to count carefully, what a big stroke.

The appearance of this giant lantern tree overwhelmed all the lanterns near Qujiang Pond.

Dense crowds of people are pouring in this direction.

At this moment, a middle-aged businessman with a simple face and a simple dress appeared in the bulge in the middle of the flower tree, holding a golden gong in his hand, and struck it three times, looking like he had something to say.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and they all quietly watched what the middle-aged businessman was going to say.

"Zheng Xi, the steward of the Zheng family in Chang'an, ......" As soon as the middle-aged businessman Jia reported that he understood, there was an uproar all around.

Zheng Xi's name is not known, but the Zheng family business is very famous, and it is the largest cloth merchant in the world. When Luo Shixin was the head of Jiangzhou, he had heard of the Zheng family firm and the name of Zheng Fengchi, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, who was recognized as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, after Li Yuan became the ruler of Chang'an, Zheng Fengchi sent Wanguan's family wealth as military expenses, and was even received by Li Yuan. His family property is innumerable, his mansions are all over the sea, and he interacts with the powerful, and he is in the market. Datang Xinli has a lot of expenses, and whenever the finances are tight, Zheng Fengchi will generously contribute money and help.

He even showed off his wealth in front of Li Yuan, saying that each tree on Zhongnan Mountain hung a silk horse, and all the trees on the mountain were full, and he still had surplus silk at home. His daughter got married, there were thousands of guests, and when the bride appeared, there were 300 maidservants beside her, all of them were all Qiluo Zhucui, hanging hairpins and swaying shoes, and they were so brilliant that people couldn't tell which one was the bride.

It can be seen that the Zheng family is rich, rich and rivals the country, and only the Zheng family can come up with such a hand.

Zheng Xi continued: "On this festive night of the Shangyuan Dynasty, the big proprietor specially purchased these three-life trees from the Western Regions and decorated them to make a sea of trees to celebrate the festival. This tree is named Sansheng, which means that it is destined for Sansheng. Whoever answers more questions will have the opportunity to invite his partner to the top of the three-life tree, condescendingly, and enjoy the scenery around the Qujiang Pond. ”

As soon as Zheng Xi's voice fell, someone immediately shouted.

Shangyuan Festival is like Sympathy Day, many people have fallen in love with their other half on this festive festival, looking at the three-life tree dotted with tens of thousands of lanterns, and making an affectionate confession on it, which woman can hold it? The hot-blooded young people with high self-sufficiency were like chicken blood, with the mentality of reaching the top, quietly waiting for Zheng Xi to come up with the question.

Luo Shixin was one person and one less, and there was no one to invite, so he stayed on the side as if it was lively. (To be continued......)
