The two maids looked at her sympathetically and replied, "Yes." ”

After a while, a large number of bamboo candles were placed in front of Chen Rong.

Chen Rong sat on the collapse without a single image, and began to concentrate on the Kong Ming lantern.

The night is getting darker and deeper.

In the sky, the stars are dotted, the Milky Way is bright, and as time passes, one after another Kong Ming lanterns float into the sky.

Chen Rong let go of his hand and looked at the Kong Ming lantern rising in the palm of his hand, in the dim red candlelight, on the gauze paper, the man's faint smiling face, with a kind of distantness that she did not dare to pay attention to.

on the city walls.

Looking at the middle-aged general who was slowly approaching, all the soldiers bowed their heads at the same time and saluted, "I've seen the general." ”

The middle-aged general nodded.

He looked at the dark wilderness in front of him, and even if there was only a little starlight, he could see the darkness of the wilderness. Those marks were caused by the burning of the woods.

This was the first thing a middle-aged general did after the city of Luoyang was broken.

He stood quietly at the head of the city, and after looking at the sky for a while, he suddenly said: "I think back then, Sun Zhongmou Zhuge Kongming also looked at the sky like this, waiting for the other party to attack, right?" ”

There was a sense of ease in his voice.

The soldiers behind him did not respond, and the general in front of him was a scribe, and at any moment he would let out a series of exclamations that they could not understand.

At this time, the middle-aged general sighed, he looked back at the wood-like soldiers, shook his head, and muttered, "How lonely the wise are!" ”

With that, let out a long sigh.

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of something and exclaimed, "What's that?" ”

The soldiers hurriedly turned their heads to look, and one of them responded with a smile: "It's Kong Ming Lantern, last night, there was a lot of floating in the sky, I didn't expect it to be more tonight." ”

The middle-aged general frowned.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and with that wind, a Kong Ming lantern flew towards the middle-aged general.

The middle-aged general stared at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he shouted urgently: "Shoot it!" ”

Seeing the soldiers standing there stupidly, looking at themselves in a daze, the middle-aged general shouted in a deep voice: "The words on it are the characters of the Hu people!" ”

Hu people's words?

This is no small matter.

Almost at the same time, two young soldiers took out their bows and bent them to the sky.

'Whoosh-'

Arrows go like shooting stars!

In the blink of an eye, a Kong Ming lantern fell to the ground.

But as soon as it fell to the ground, the candle was crooked, and the veil of the sticky lamp began to burn, and before the soldiers could run down the wall, there were only a few black bamboo strips left.

At this time, the middle-aged general had already shouted violently: "Shoot down, shoot down!" ”

"Yes!"

The sound of a neat promise sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers bent their bows and arrows and shot into the sky.

The middle-aged general looked at the long arrows that shot into the air and shouted, "Take my bow and arrows!" ”

"Yes!"

In a few moments, his own soldiers had delivered him a magnificent bow painted black and three arrows.

The middle-aged general bends his bow and arrows.

At this moment, because the Kong Ming lantern flew too high, the soldiers couldn't shoot it, so they stopped their movements and looked back at the leader.

'Whoosh-''Whoosh-''

Three arrows were fired one after the other, like meteors streaked across the night sky.

The first arrow swished, and the Kong Ming lantern shot through.

Just as the candle in the lamp was crooked, a second arrow had already been fired, and with a 'zi-' sound, it extinguished the burning wick.

Immediately after, a third arrow hit, and this arrow shot at another Kong Ming lantern, just one arrow, and the wick was extinguished, and in the blink of an eye, the two Kong Ming lanterns floated to the ground.

Seeing this, all the soldiers let out a cheer at the same time, and they turned their heads and looked at their leader with admiration.

The middle-aged general straightened his chest and shouted, "Pick it up!" ”

"Yes!" "Yes!"

The two soldiers ran down the city wall and rushed towards the Kong Ming lantern that fell to the ground.

After a while, two Kong Ming lanterns were placed in front of the middle-aged general.

The middle-aged general put the two together, frowned and said, "It's the same." ”

He picked one up, stared at the figure and muttered, "Who is this?" ”

No one answered.

He turned the lantern and looked at the one where the words were written. Staring at the flower-like Hu Wen, the middle-aged general stood up and shouted, "Shoot down all the Kong Ming lanterns!" ”

"Yes."

"Ask around and see where it first floated from!"

"Yes!"

"Go and invite Yu Gong, he is proficient in Hu Wen and must know these words."

"Yes."

When he gave one order after another, almost suddenly, a soldier pointed to the sky above the Nanyang Palace, and shouted, "That's it, the Kong Ming Lantern flew out from there." ”

The middle-aged general turned his head away.

He looked at the layers of roof beams and cornices, and said in a low voice: "Nanyang Palace? ”

He waved his hand and shouted, "Keep an eye out." ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Chen Rong didn't know that her Kong Ming lantern had been shot down, and she was still tirelessly making Kong Ming lanterns, one after another.

The young maidservant girl walked up behind her and whispered, "Girl, are you tired?" Take a break. ”

Chen Rong looked up at her.

She met the sympathetic gaze of the young maid. Chen Rong smiled, she lowered her head and said softly, "I'm not tired." "My voice was a little hoarse.

She was indeed in a hurry, and this was the second night.

Her performance that day may only keep her okay tonight. But what about tomorrow night? What about the night after?

Then the young maidservant said, "Girl, let us do it for you." ”

Chen Rong's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Okay, good." Thanks a lot. ”

The young maid shook her head, "The girl is polite. She looked at the old maidservant.

But the servant girl's face showed obvious reluctance. The young maidservant squatted down by herself.

Seeing someone helping, Chen Rong shook his sore arm and sat back.

At this time, there was a very lingering sound of flute in the sky. Accompanied by the sound of the flute, there was also the singing of the beauty, and the young maid saw Chen Rong looking at the brightly lit building in front of her, without blinking, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that tonight, the Cui family in Hedong sent a beauty, and the prince is pampering it." ”

She stared at Chen Rong and saw that her face was a little pale, so she couldn't help but comfort: "If that beauty has the prince's thoughts, maybe the prince will forget you." Her voice was a little empty, and besides, she still had something to say: all the beauties that the prince had forgotten would be remembered by his subordinates.
