Chapter 38: When the shock suddenly turns to desolation, the family and the country make a big fuss and issue an edict (4)
The horse traveled very fast, and on the second day of the fifth month, they came to Dadu. However, it is said that most of the capital ends are a prosperous scene! Trunk roads and alleys are staggered, neatly dividing the market and the square, like a huge chessboard; the trade flow is endless, and there are more than 30 markets, including the "Tsu of the Shogun," which is specially used to gather the department stores of the South, and the "Sea of Clothes," which is known as the gathering of nobles and nobles, and the different trade schools, such as the "Serval of the Southern Merchants" and the "School of Xijia." The river water surrounds the capital, and on the water wharf of the pond, the goods are transported in an endless stream, coming and going from the south to the north, the treasures are all there, and the grain and goods are connected!
Li Bei and Luo Yu had already bought another horse and rode it separately. When Luo Yu saw this prosperous scene, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, sighing and sighing. He said, "I really didn't expect that most of this capital would be so prosperous!" and "It's incredible! The Mongols actually built a capital like this." ”
The two sat on the long street, Luo Yu looked at the street market like a chessboard, and couldn't help but ponder deeply, for a long time, he said: "You see this Mongolian, although they occupied the land of my Han family, but in the end, they still have to build the city in our original way." In the final analysis, Kublai Khan still knew that the things of our Han people were good! If I didn't know that this ruler was a Mongol Tatar, I just thought that we Han people were still ruling it!" There was a slight sense of indignation in his voice, obviously annoyed that the Mongol Tatars occupied the Central Plains, but they still used the things of the Han people, and although the Han people had good things, they could not rule this land!
Li Fei said: "Since the things of our Han people are good, we will be able to take back our homeland one day! The Han people who have taken root here for thousands of years will not be broken, and we will definitely take back the right to rule!"
Luo Yu nodded vigorously, obviously inspired by Zhong Libei's words. He said: "We Han people will definitely do something for the great cause of opposing the Yuan!
The two rode horses on the long street, Qiao Luo was foolish and graceful, handsome and elegant, even Ji Kang and Pan Yue could not be compared with half a point; Zhong Li was like the snow of the Tianshan Mountains, not like the posture of the world, and Luo Shen was probably not like this. When passers-by saw this, they couldn't help but stop looking, even if they blocked the road, they didn't realize it. There was a person who was carrying a flat shoulder to sell things, and when he saw the two of them, he looked directly at them, and provoked the person walking on the back road to hit him, and the person was just about to have a seizure, and when he saw Luo Yu and Libei, he immediately flew out of the sky, and he didn't know what anger was. The road was blocked for a while, and the Yuan soldiers came to dredge it, but when they saw Zhong Libei and Qiao Luoyu, they didn't want to look away, and the weapons in their hands were squeezed so that they couldn't hold it steadily, and they didn't know if they fell.
Zhong Liyu said: "Young Master Qiao, let's get out of here quickly! You have attracted so many people to come to see you and recruited all the officers and soldiers, and we will not be able to get away when the time comes!"
Luo Yu looked at her and said, "Why do I think it wasn't me who recruited it, but you recruited it!" After he finished speaking, both of them couldn't help laughing, and rode away from here.
The two of them took a look around, only to find that the soldiers in the capital were directing the people to hang lamps and hang cloth flags, as if there was a big battle in the city. Li Bei said: "I don't know what will happen in the past few days!" his mind turned, and without waiting for Luo Yu's answer, he said: "I know, three days will be the Dragon Boat Festival!"
Luo Yu groaned: "I have already thought of this, but why is there such a battle in the city during the Dragon Boat Festival? I'm afraid that in addition to the Dragon Boat Festival, there are also side events." ”
The two found an inn to stay in. The next day, when they went out, they found that the people on the long street had tucked one arm into their clothes and tied the empty sleeve in a knot.
Zhong Liyu looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Have you seen it, everyone is learning from you!" It turned out that Qiao Luoyu was very inconvenient because an empty sleeve hung down, so he tied a knot in the left sleeve, but he didn't expect him to teach everyone to see this outfit yesterday, and everyone thought it was beautiful, and then rushed to follow suit!
Qiao Luo foolishly saw it himself, and he couldn't help but be happy, it wasn't that he intended to ridicule others, but their appearance was too strange, no matter who saw it, they would laugh for a long time!
As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by people, and Luo Yu lost no time in asking a person, "Friend, do you know why this city is so grandly decorated?"
The man said: "Childe doesn't know, isn't it almost the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the court said that this year's Dragon Boat Festival should be held more grandly!" However, our Han people's festivals can be highlighted, and the key points will be highlighted!"
Luo Yu and Li Bei glanced at each other, and both knew that something big would happen recently, Luo Yu couldn't help but feel slightly happy in his heart, thinking: "It seems that I came at the right time! That Mongolian Tatar is about to hold a big event, I just took this opportunity to do something!"
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. It was early in the morning, and the sound of drums and gongs on the pond in the city had been heard, and when Li Bei and Luo Yu came out to see, they saw a row of dragon boats galloping on the water, and the people on the dragon boats were all paddling hard. The people on the boat rowed hard, and the people on the shore were also very happy to watch, and the cheers were endless. Li Bei and Luo Yu stood in the crowd, and Li Wei sighed: "These Mongolians are still energetic to celebrate our festival! Look at these oars, cheering, almost all of them are them!"
The crowd followed the boat march like a flowing cloud, and after crossing a bridge, all the dragon boats were far behind, only two dragon boats went hand in hand, and no one let anyone, competing to be the first. Suddenly, a person jumped up from the boat, turned into a dragon claw with both hands, and went to catch the person on the other dragon boat, the person who was caught seemed to have expected it a long time ago, blocked with both hands, and then flew diagonally in the air, kicking the person in the lower abdomen!
This time it was like lightning, and the people on the shore were stunned, but they saw that the two people dismantled a few moves in an instant, and the rowers seemed to not see the fight between the two people, and they were still exposed, concentrated, and rowed quickly. The two of them fought for a while, they both returned to their positions and continued to paddle, and the two boats never fell into the wind, one was like a black abyss giant Jiao, the other was like a flying dragon in the blue sky, and the two behemoths were fighting on the water, as if the clouds covered the fog cage, and for a while, countless waves rose on the water surface, covering the two dragon boats with only fog shadows.
At this time, everyone was interested, hugging each other, and they all ran with the two boats. I saw that from time to time one of the two ships would fight, and sometimes one of them wanted to challenge the two people on the other ship, with the obvious intention of wanting the other ship's ship to lag behind his own. Luo Yu couldn't help but think to himself: "It's just a dragon boat race, so desperate, I don't know why." ”
Suddenly, only to hear the sound of loud shouting, splashing countless waves on the water, only one person was left on the two boats to row, and the rest of the people were all soaring into the air, or in mid-air to show their fists and feet, or stepping on the hull of the boat to fight, but the two boats kept moving forward, until the boat behind them was about to catch up, these people returned to their seats and continued rowing, but they were already blue noses and swollen faces, looking so frightened.
The "bell" sounded a gong, only to see that the dragon boat reached the end, the Mongols on the boat cheered, the sound was like a landslide, and the people in the dragon boat that failed to achieve victory were like bereavement, and the look of grief was obvious.
After the end of the dragon boat race here, there have been many activities on the long street. Li Fei patted Luo Yu on the shoulder, pointed with his slender hand, and saw that at the intersection of Long Street, a group of people were chattering around an inconspicuous stall and didn't know what to say. The two of them leaned over, and when they saw the small stall, there was a Mongolian dressed as a Confucian student, and when he saw Luo Yu and Li Bei coming, he said loudly: "Everyone, I will repeat the rules again." After a while, I will talk about the title of the article, and you have to memorize the whole article, and the person who memorizes the most and the most complete is the final winner. ”
I heard one person ask, "What's the reward for the winner in the end?" The man said, "You can get ten fresh sweet dumplings!" and only one person asked, "What about the other than this?"
The Mongolian suddenly smiled slightly and said, "In addition to this, there are indeed other rewards, but now is not the time to say it!"
