Chapter 10 - Prosperity and Prosperity

The celebration continued until late at night, and the sound of firecrackers, shouts, chases, and discussions continued to spread throughout the Demon Spirit Continent. Whether it is the extreme north or the southernmost, the entire Demon Spirit Continent celebrates the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Today, a special firecracker and fireworks display was held in Ruocheng, a city in the south of Qi State, and the tradition of celebrating birthday and writing red letters has also been continuing, this unprecedented grand fireworks display has attracted almost all the people in the city, even the people living in the affiliated county of Ruocheng have also rushed here. Nearly 200,000 people gathered in the big square in Ruocheng City to witness a grand event in Ruocheng.

In the two restaurants near the central square, the customers and shops who had already occupied good positions were already staring through the windows at what was about to happen in front of them. Among them, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are also included. Yesterday, they had already come to Ruocheng from the bamboo forest, and they came here very smoothly with the help of a coincidence and a token that proved the identity of their demon spirit secret envoy. After a day of rest in this restaurant, today they wandered around Ruocheng again, participating in a number of Chinese New Year's Eve activities. Now, after almost a full day of wandering around the city and participating in activities, they took advantage of the last quiet hour before the carnival to return to the restaurant to rest, order two side dishes and drink two mild sake, waiting for the upcoming fireworks extravaganza.

At this moment, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying, and Sun Hao were sitting in a private room quietly enjoying this feeling, and at the same time looking through the wooden window at the fireworks festival that had begun to thunder in Ruocheng Square not far away. The restaurant where they were,

Around the square, Ruocheng Governor Zhang Lingyi's personal guard army has begun to rectify the surrounding security. The fireworks display was led by some merchants in the city and some of their families. And Zhang Lingyi, who is the governor of Ruocheng, also gave them enough benefits. After all, this is an annual event, and you need to give next year a good start! And Ruocheng also happens to have some merchants who specialize in producing this kind of fireworks, which is also one of the characteristics of Ruocheng. Since Chen Jie served as the governor of the south, Ruocheng has benefited the most, Ruocheng is relatively top-notch in terms of economy, politics and culture, so it is precisely for this reason that Ruocheng can provide the people with an exceptionally grand fireworks display in some aspects!

And the most important reason why Feng Yuchong and the others were able to find such a very good location among the people and merchants who basically came to Ruocheng today was that the shopkeeper and proprietor of the restaurant where they were located were secretly members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. They were part of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoys in Ruocheng, and they were originally under the command of Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi Kingdom. Since Chen Jie's accidental death, these demon spirit secret envoys in the south of Qi Country have not yet had a new leader, which is also something that makes them feel deeply confused.

In fact, it is no wonder that the battle between the feudal kingdoms and Qi countries some time ago made the battle situation very tense, and the result of Chen Jie's unexpected death was not clear. In the end, Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi, announced to all the people and soldiers of Qi, as well as all the members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy, that Chen Jie was a rebel of the Ming clan, but after so many years of hard work for Qi, his achievements were irreplaceable, and some of the decrees and reforms finalized by Chen Jie adopted by several cities in the south of Qi continued to continue. Therefore, Li Dan personally sent the Praetorian Guards to officially bury Chen Jie next to the mausoleum of Prince Xia Yu, which can be regarded as a formal recognition of Chen Jie's previous contributions to the Qi State, and in some respects ignoring the disasters and hidden dangers brought by Chen Jie.

In this way, the people who were originally very upset about Chen Jie's death finally let go of their hearts, and they themselves were not completely sad for Chen Jie. Because Chen Jie originally represented their interests, Chen Jie has governed the south for a long time, and some of the policies he reformed are closer to the lives of the people. caused the people to love him very much, and now Li Dan's behavior not only appeases them ordinary people, but also can be regarded as a kind of announcement, informing Chen Jie's old subordinates, the most important of which is to inform Chen Jie's three deputy generals, who are still holding important positions in the south of Qi State, and the most loyal to Chen Jie - Zhang Lingyi, the governor of Ruocheng, Jin Xu, the general of the east gate, and Li Xin, the governor of Jincheng.

Zhang Lingyi, Jin Xu, and Li Xin originally vowed to find Feng Yuchong, the murderer of their general, to take revenge, but after Li Dan's repeated mediation and half-truths, they still forgot about it. The most important point was the kind of strong deterrence that Feng Yuchong showed when he confronted the Holy Emperor in front of Donglin Pass, and the clear storm still seemed to stay in front of them. They finally believed in the fact that their general was a Ming rebel.

As a result, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao originally had a very stiff relationship with Zhang Lingyi, but now the relationship has become very good. Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying, and Sun Hao even often came to Ruocheng to look for Zhang Lingyi after returning to the bamboo forest, and talked to him about their recent experiences. Gradually, they established a more friendly relationship with Zhang Lingyi.

Today, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying, and Sun Hao not only relied on Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's identities as members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy to successfully occupy a relatively good position, but also partly because Zhang Lingyi said hello.

Of course, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao in this restaurant also saw a cavalry unit slowly pacing in the vast crowd. There were nearly two hundred people in this cavalry unit, all of them horsemen in armor, and at the front of this cavalry unit, a general in his early thirties wearing plain robes slowly came to the crowd on a distinctive maroon horse under his crotch. The first wave of casts has now begun to unfold in the Wakjo Square, and a crisp thunderclap is heard in the sky. The fireworks burst into three different colors, and the sound of fireworks resounded in the sky, symbolizing great joy and happiness.

Seeing the general slowly riding his horseback, the surrounding soldiers who had been there to maintain law and order quickly evacuated the crowd in front of him, allowing the general to enter the center of the square smoothly. In the middle of this empty square, more than 100 merchants and their families are still busy nervously, and they want to release the second batch of fireworks as soon as the first batch of fireworks is released, so as to ensure all the enthusiasm of the people.

This general is none other than Zhang Lingyi, the governor of Ruocheng, who also came here to participate in this grand fireworks display after he took care of the daily affairs of his mansion and Ruocheng today. Zhang Lingyi has no relatives in Ruocheng, and his family has long since passed away. So Zhang Lingyi didn't need to worry about anything else, so he brought two hundred soldiers here to participate in this fireworks display. After entering the interior of the central square, Zhang Lingyi ordered all the soldiers to dismount and not block the people behind him from enjoying the fireworks display.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyi's arrival did not attract too much attention from the people, but Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao had already noticed this unique cavalry unit and their leader. Of course, now the five of them don't need to care about this, they continue to enjoy the silence in this restaurant, while staring at the clusters of fireworks and flat floors in the distance to make a crisp and loud crackling sound on the ground, enjoying the feeling of Chinese New Year's Eve one after another.

On this day, every citizen living in Ruocheng forgot the troubles and worries they had had, and forgot all the unhappy and sad things they had in the past. Tens of thousands of people quietly watched the fireworks display around the square, and the young children were excitedly clapping their hands in celebration. At the same time, all the people today have solidified their sleepiness, not only for the custom of "keeping the year" that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, but also because this fireworks display is really fresh in their memories, and they may never forget such a prosperous era in this life.

Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying, and Sun Hao also felt deeply about this, if they could really live in a prosperous world like this, what a gratifying thing! The Demon Spirit Continent has been turbulent for many years, but they can still see such a Chinese New Year's Eve event like a prosperous world. Bright red lanterns and banners are hung at the entrance of each house, and fireworks and firecrackers light up the sky over Wakajo, making Wakaki as beautiful as day in the middle of the night. What's more, everyone is happy today, at least they have forgotten all the things that bother them, and this is enough! With the arrival of the New Year, the people in the square have sent their most sincere wishes to each other, "Happy New Year!" "All the best!" "Happy family!" "Good health!"

Listening to the constant sound of firecrackers and firecrackers in the square, Feng Yuchong's heart suddenly became unusually clear, he couldn't help but stand up, staring at the feudal territory not far away, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Sister Yue, if you can hear it, you must come back next year to see the prosperity of this prosperous era, this not only symbolizes that our efforts are not in vain, but also symbolizes the direction of our future efforts, I will never let you be lonely and lonely."
