Chapter 227: The Crowd
Mo Buping walked in front of the crowd with his head held high, holding high a flag, on which were the four big characters he wrote, "Return me to the ball game".
Behind him was a group of monks, contestants, relatives and friends of the contestants, and many casual cultivators who loved the game and the lottery as much as he did.
Behind the monks, there were all kinds of people, including peddlers and pawns, merchants and artists, artisans, and even idle ruffians, all of whom followed Mo Buping silently at this time.
When the brigade passed through the Fang District, the doors of several large families opened, and the rich and noble prince with his servants also joined them, and they also held high the banner, on which were written larger red ink characters: "Return me to Xuantan Palace", "Please be the master of the True Master Hall", "We want to see inside and outside the imperial city", "Daozun protection" and so on.
With the addition of the children of large households, many people in the capital opened their doors and followed behind the banners, and this flow of people gathered more and more, and when they reached the Xuanjin Bridge on the west side of the imperial city, it had reached more than 3,000 people.
Flower thief Yang Hao has been pursued tightly by the catchers of Shangyuan County in the past two days, and he wanted to go out of the city to avoid the limelight, but he had no choice but to have a curfew in the capital, and the thirteen doors were closed.
I just looked for a leeward place and stared for a moment, but I was accidentally discovered by Gou Putou in Shangyuan County, and immediately began to flee desperately again.
After chasing around the neighborhood for half an hour, Gou Putou and the two catchers couldn't run anymore behind them, so they could only keep verbally threatening: "Where is the thief running? Stop quickly, stop, otherwise ...... Otherwise, the sin will be added to the degree!"
Yang Hao was panting in front, and he replied in his busy schedule: "Who is Gou...... Gou Thief, Gou Catcher, you are, you mean yourself, right?"
Gou Zhutou leaned on his waist and stopped at the back of the first three steps, and continued to scold: "You Gou thief, let you run, catch ...... first and half die"
Yang Hao insisted on running out of the alley, and suddenly saw a crowd of people on the Xuanjin Bridge Street in front of him, dense and unusual. He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, bury his head in the crowd, squeezed back and forth to the front.
Looking back, Gou Zhutou and his two subordinates were stunned at the edge of the crowd, and hurriedly flashed under a large banner, and snatched the flagpole from the hands of a large family holding the flag next to him, and held it high.
After walking for a while, I saw that the head of Gou Zhutou in the outer circle seemed to be still dangling there, and I had an idea, looked at the banner I was holding, changed my voice with a hanging voice, and shouted: "Daozun protect!"
This voice shouted, which immediately caused the crowd to stir, before everyone walked silently together, the breath held in their hearts was suddenly detonated, and first more than a dozen people around him followed and shouted: "Daozun bless!"
Then dozens, hundreds, hundreds, thousands!
As soon as this slogan fell, Mo Buping, who was at the forefront, seemed to have just woken up, and he also raised his arms to vent the anger in his heart:
"Give me back the cultivation ball!"
Thousands of people shouted: "Give me back the cultivation ball!"
"Give me back the cultivation lottery!"
Thousands of people responded: "Give me back the cultivation lottery!"
"Please call the shots of the True Master's Hall!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison: "Please be the master of the True Master's Hall!"
"Sweep away the traitors of the court!"
Thousands of people were indignant: "Sweep away the traitors of the imperial court!"
This sound, like earth-shaking thunder, spread in all directions.
Hearing the last sentence, Gou Zhutou was suddenly startled, quite a bit of the feeling of "soul flying" in the mouth of the storyteller, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and took two of his subordinates to quickly withdraw from the crowd and rushed towards Shangyuan County.
The sky is about to be pierced, quickly tell the county lord!
When Mo Buping led the people to Fucheng Bridge, a large group of people from the direction of Qingliang Mountain also converged.
Zhao Guyu took the lead, and behind him was an endless crowd of people, looking at the scale, it seemed that there were more than Mo Buping's side.
The two men looked at each other and encouraged each other, walked side by side, and turned back as they walked, shouting slogans with true spirit. The slogan is like thunder, the crowd is like a dragon, rolling forward, as if to step on everything that is uneven in front of you!
Lan Shuimo walked at the forefront of the team, and until now, he has passed through half of the capital, he can no longer see the way ahead, in his eyes, there are only thousands of people around him moving forward together, only the flags and banners flying high above his head.
"Give me back the Yuanfu Palace!"
"Give me back the Xuantan Palace!"
"Give me back Abbot Zhao!"
"Return my envoy!"
"Give me back the cultivation ball!"
Lan Shuimo struggled to raise his arms high, and merged his roar into the earth-shattering tide, proud that he could witness all this today! To hell with any imperial court decrees, what teachers advised, and what brocade guards' curfews! I want my cultivation ball competition, I want my blood to surge and passion!
Lan Shuimo roared for a moment, the more he roared, the more energetic he became, the more he roared, the more excited he became, and suddenly he heard a voice next to him join in, shouting the same sentence, but the voice was three points higher!
Looking to the side, it was the strong opponent he was supposed to fight today, Cai Zhikun, a yellow-crowned monk of the Qiyun Pavilion in Huizhou, but he was the same fellow who joined when the two crowds converged just now.
The two opponents who competed for the top spot in the same group met at this moment, and they sympathized with each other, smiling and intersecting their arms, all without saying anything.
The rolling crowd headed towards the Taimiao, and along the way, they passed through many checkpoints set up by Jinyiwei, all of which rushed through. Just kidding, there are just a dozen brocade guards, and some of the stronger places are just led by one or two monks from the upper three palaces, and in front of the thousands of surging people, they can't even turn up a wave, and the checkpoint guards are drowned everywhere. Some of the officials and young men who were transferred to assist in setting up the card even moved the checkpoint directly and joined the surging crowd.
When he walked to Dazhong Street, thousands of people encouraged by Huang Yu also joined in, which was the team of Qinglou in Qinhuaihe.
In the civilized city creation activities held in the Xuantan Palace, the secret prostitutes in various parts of the city were severely cracked down, and the real beneficiaries were the regular, licensed green buildings of the Qinhuai River. Not only has they been guaranteed their identity, but as the practice ball tournament has become more and more popular, their customer reception has also reached new highs, and their business can be described as booming.
As soon as Huang Yu went to Qinhuai River to agitate, all the Qinglou responded and joined the team he pulled, including many prostitutes and servants, and the most active one was Li Dayin's old lover A Jiang.
Ah Jiang is very familiar with people on the Qinhuai River, and has prestige, after the Yuanfu Palace was seized, she specially rushed to find Li Dayin, she was very worried about Li Dayin's life and death, she suspected that Li Dayin might fall into the hands of the prince and the king of Qi, maybe he endured all kinds of cruel torture in the temple, and this night was really sad and broken.
Therefore, as soon as Ah Jiang was instigated by Huang Yu, he immediately actively contacted and said that thousands of people from hundreds of Qinglou would contribute to go to Taimiao together. Her idea is also very simple, that is, to let the upper third palace release people.
The appearance of a Qinglou woman like Ah Jiang in the crowd immediately triggered bursts of applause, and everyone was even more energetic.
