The person who came was wearing a blue-green official uniform with a well-versed and sophisticated face, and asked, "May I ask which two are Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, the new science and technology jinshi?" ”

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stood up in response, and looked at the person in front of them suspiciously: "We are Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, what do you have to do?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "It turns out that the two are Zhuang Yuanlang and Tanhualang, whose names are Feng Bai, and they are a supervisor of the Firearms Bureau. ”

"Firearms?" Gu Yunji didn't know why, he couldn't figure out what he could have to do with the Firearms Bureau, "But what orders and arrangements does the imperial court or His Majesty have for the two of us?" ”

Feng Bai smiled slightly: "Tanhualang misunderstood, this trip is not to convey the edict, but to be entrusted by General Su Qisu, the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, to give the two of them the gift of Xinke and the first. ”

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows in surprise and glanced at each other with Cheng Yan: "Su Qi's gift?" Why don't we know that he didn't tell us in advance, could it be a mistake? ”

Feng Bai smiled confidently and said firmly: "Don't worry, you two will never make a mistake in the next place." General Su had already ordered this gift a few months ago, and he had specially instructed that it should be delivered on the day of the title of the two gold lists, not sooner or later. General Su probably wanted to surprise the two, so he didn't tell them in advance. ”

Su Qi has always been an impatient person who can't hide things, but this time he can endure it for a few months without revealing any news to them? Moreover, the Firearms Bureau is a government-run gunpowder factory directly under the imperial court, so what kind of gift does the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau need to send in person? How did Su Qi invite them?

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan were full of questions, and when he said this, they couldn't help but be aroused by the curiosity in their hearts. Glancing at Feng Baikong's behind, Gu Yunji was a little dazed: "Since it was a gift from Su Qi, what about it...... What about gifts? ”

Feng Bai smiled: "Don't worry, this is not the best place to receive gifts, please follow me." ”

Gu Yunji and the others were even more confused when they heard this, but they had no other choice but to follow him out.

Feng Bai led the two of them out of the hall, and then went all the way north, across most of the city, and came directly to the noon gate of the palace city-outside the Wufeng Tower.

Located in the south, the noon gate is the main gate of the palace city, and no one is allowed to enter or exit from this gate except for major ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement and marriage. Seeing that Feng Bai was about to go inside, Gu Yunji was so frightened that his scalp tightened, and he was about to stop him, but when he saw him turn around, he said hello to the guards guarding the door, and directly climbed the city tower of the noon gate.

The palace wall of the palace city is nearly ten meters high, and the noon gate tower is the highest building in the whole palace city complex, standing on it, if you look far away, the field of vision is extremely broad, and you can take most of the capital into the bottom of your eyes.

It took a lot of time to follow Feng Bai all the way, and now it was night, and the street was lit up with a little light. Gu Yunji looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the city, turned his head and asked, "Supervisor Feng, it should be okay now, right?" What about Su Qi's gift? ”

Feng Bai glanced at the sky, and looked calm: "Don't worry, it's not time yet, the two of you will wait a little longer." ”

First of all, the place is wrong, and then the time has not come, what gift has Su Qi prepared, which is worth selling so much?

The more Feng Bai didn't say anything, the more curious Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan became, so they simply had nothing to do today, so they waited patiently as they said.

As the time passed, the night grew darker, and a bright moon hung above the dark sky, and the cold light reflected a few small stars. The clouds are light and light, the moon is white and the wind is clear, and the whole night sky is like a minimalist canvas, which is plain and elegant, but it seems a little monotonous.

In the long silence, Gu Yunji waited drowsily. Suddenly, a person dressed as an entourage trotted up to the city tower and said to Feng Bai: "Supervisor Feng, it's almost three o'clock, and you're all ready." ”

Feng Bai nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Gu Yunji seemed to realize something, and instantly fell asleep, staring at Feng Bai without blinking, looking forward to his next move.

Feng Bai looked at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, and said with a straight face: "A year ago, when General Su went north, he agreed with the two of them that he would see the title of the two gold lists with his own eyes and parade the streets across horses. However, the matter did not meet people's wishes, General Su was busy with military affairs, and he was unable to go to the capital today to congratulate him, so he entrusted him to send this gift to the two of them. ”

Before giving the gift, General Su also had a gift: If you are a confidant, you will be next to each other at both ends of the world. My friends don't have to worry about today's regrets, the future is far away, and we have a long way to go. ”

As he spoke, Feng Bai stretched out his palm and pointed forward: "Two of you, please see-"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a streamer suddenly rise in the sky in the distance, and it exploded in the air with a "bang", scattering the bright sparks in the sky, and then quickly disappeared in the sound of zila. Then came the second and third, and beams of fireworks rose up and exploded in the air one after another, lighting up half of the night sky.

On top of the bustling streetscape, colorful flower clusters continue to burst out from the ground, blooming into brilliant and colorful flowers in the air, covering the entire sky. Like a retro-shooting star, the dark and monotonous night is filled with colorful colors and becomes a sea of light.

The posture of these fireworks changes rapidly, sometimes green and yellow, like chrysanthemums; Sometimes white light and red stars, like peonies. It's always just falling here, and rising there, and there's a steady stream of scrambles. Dozens of fireworks shot into the sky, and the scene was grand and spectacular, attracting passers-by to stop and look up.

The scene of fireworks blooming in front of him was not inferior to his previous life, Gu Yunji had not seen such a grand occasion for a long time, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long while, Gu Yunji gradually came back to his senses, took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and asked in a trembling voice, "...... This is the gift that Su Qi gave us? ”

Feng Bai said: "Exactly. Last year, General Su did not return to Beijing to report on his work, and His Majesty wanted to reward him with something as a consolation, but General Su did not accept it, but asked His Majesty for a favor. That is, on the day of the trial release of the imperial examination hall, fireworks were set off in the capital as a gift to congratulate his two friends on the title of the gold list. ”

"Your Majesty not only approved, but also ordered the Firearms Bureau, that is, to supervise this matter, so that there is this fireworks event in front of the two of you."

Gu Yunji's heart was shocked, and before he knew it, his eyes were full of astringency. Side Head and Cheng Yan looked at each other, the two of them were speechless at first, and suddenly the corners of their lips curled at the same time, and in the silent laughter, they both saw the crystal water in each other's eyes.

The fireworks over the capital continued to bloom, and in the border towns thousands of miles away, a young general in bright armor climbed the city wall and looked in the direction of the capital.

The nights in the north are lonely and cold, and the sky is so dark that the stars are almost invisible, making the bright moon even more lonely. There were no fireworks in the capital here, so the boy had to look up at the sky and send blessings to the moon.

His lips moved slightly, and the young man's cold and hard face softened slightly.

"Congratulations." He said.

The end of the world is at this time.
