See the fastest updates

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the fish and dragon dance at night.

Although the continuous war has been raging in the Central Plains for several years, the north and south of the Yellow River are full of swords and swords. But tonight's Luoyang is still like a prosperous chapter written in thick ink and color, or like a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and enchanting beauty, fully stretching the heritage and charm of the thousand-year-old city.

The court of Da Zheng announced early that there would be no curfew for three consecutive days and nights during the New Year, and the Son of Heaven and the people would enjoy together.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the grand parade of floats begins just after dark.

The mighty convoy entered by itself, crossed most of Luoyang City, and then crossed Luoshui to the Imperial City, where it was inspected by the Emperor and Empress of Dazheng and hundreds of civil and military officials.

This is a rare event in Luoyang City, whether it is a celebration of the whole world, or ********, dozens of colorful floats will gather outside the Dingding Gate early in the evening.

The crowds of people on both sides rushed forward, and for a while the crowd pushed and squeezed, just to see something fresh.

Groups of sergeants desperately tried to maintain order, crushing the people who tried to rush through the blockade and approaching the floats, but they did not dare to beat them away with sticks and whips. After all, the New Year's Day, everyone is trying to be a happy holiday, and it will be bad luck if something happens.

Tonight, Wang Shichong feasted his ministers in Taoguang Garden, and handed over the security of the entire Luoyang City to the general Shan Xiongxin.

Of course, at this moment, as the master of the horse, he is free to accompany Wang Shichong in Taoguang Garden, and the generals and captains under his command perform their own responsibilities to ensure that the parade of floats does not make mistakes.

Da Zheng Tai needs something festive to boost morale and sweep away bad luck. Last year, Luoyang was overwhelmed by Li Shimin and his arrogant soldiers, and the armies of all walks of life were defeated and retreated, and the guards from all over the country defected one after another, and even Wang Shichong's own nephew Wang Ren was defeated and died.

Fortunately, the most difficult days were about to pass, and Da Zheng had signed an alliance with the Great Xia Kingdom established by Dou Jiande. Just wait for the beginning of the year, the soldiers and horses of the two countries will join forces to attack and regain the lost territory, and even the soldiers coming to Chang'an City are not fools' dreams.

In the midst of the crowd, the first float finally drove out. In the center of the float is a statue of Qin Shi Huang, with a majestic figure and a wolf looking at the eagle, holding the sword with his right hand and pointing forward with his left finger, looking at the four seas domineering.

Kneeling beside him sat a literary and a martial arts, respectively Li Si and Wang Qian, and at his feet were the monarchs of the six kingdoms of Qi, Weiyan, Zhao, Chu, and Han, the meaning was self-evident.

As soon as the float started, the crowd burst into cheers and cheers like a tsunami, shouting one after another: "Throw it here, throw it here!"

It turned out that on both sides of the float, there were eight boys and girls dressed as palace people, and as they walked, they grabbed a handful of copper coins and cakes from the basket and threw them into the crowd on the street.

The crowd suddenly became commotionous, and everyone rushed to grab a few copper coins or a piece of pastry, and the adults made the children cry and make a pot of porridge.

No one noticed a middle-aged couple standing quietly on the side of the road.

The man was white and fat, short and fat, wearing a blue robe, saying that he was a rich man, more like a groundhog.

The middle-aged beauty beside her has an elegant temperament and a slender figure, although her appearance is not peerless, but it makes people feel that she is a flower inserted in a lump of cow dung.

It's a pity that the groundhog didn't have the slightest consciousness, and he took the white and delicate hand of the middle-aged beauty with a big grin, looked at the hot scene of you competing for me, and said: "It turns out that the New Year is so fun, fortunately you also followed, otherwise it would be boring to stay at home alone." ”

"With Concubine Shuang, how can it be deserted?" The middle-aged beautiful woman held her husband's warm and soft hand and smiled: "It's a pity that Xiaofeng is always not around, and I don't know if he misses me?"

The groundhog smiled, led his wife slowly forward with the crowded crowd, and said, "You want to hug your grandson, right?" Actually, Xiaofeng is very good, well-behaved and sensible, and you don't get angry when you reprimand him. ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head, knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, her husband has been immersed in cultivation and retreat for many years, and most of her son's image is still in his childhood, so why do you have to destroy the good impression in his heart. His eyes swept inadvertently, and he was slightly surprised: "There are little candy people selling there!"

"Where?" the groundhog looked in the direction of his wife's finger, on the other side of the street. If you take a few more steps in normal times, you can get there, but now it is crowded and difficult, not to mention the parade of floats, you can't cross the street at all.

The marmot narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which do you like, the little tiger or the white rabbit?"

"It's all good," the middle-aged beautiful woman looked at the surging crowd and said, "Forget it, there should be more if you go forward." ”

The groundhog was silent. After a while, the little candy seller on the other side of the street saw a fat hand squeezed out of the crack, first handed over a small ingot of silver, and then unhurriedly tied the tiger, the white rabbit, the lady, the general, and the sugar gourd tied to the straw...... Take them off one by one.

Before he could come to his senses, the various little candy men on the straw bundle were swept away.

The next moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman was holding a large number of small sugar figures in her hands, looking at the stunned and overwhelmed vendor on the street, and couldn't help but say, "Where can I eat so much." The dignified sect master of the Huang Ting Sect, in order to buy a few little sugar people, actually used the Huang Ting Wan Transformation Technique, and he was not afraid of being laughed at when he said it. ”

Li Daimo smiled and said, "From the two of us to know today, it seems that I have never bought anything for you, right? ”

Su Luo glanced at him and said, "Could it be that you are going to send me away with a few worthless little sugar people?"

Li Daimo touched his nose and said, "Why don't I find someone to make you a few new clothes tomorrow?" The clothes in the Central Plains are more exquisite than ours in Mobei, and you must look good when you wear them." Well, by the way, bring some gifts to Concubine Shuang and Xiaofeng. What do you think they like?"

"You're still the eldest brother of Concubine Frost, and Xiaofeng's father. Stupidβ€”" Su Luo laughed as she complained about her husband.

In a trance, she seemed to be dozens of years younger, and returned to the cardamom girlhood, holding her lover's arm and strolling under the moon, whispering about her daughter's heart.

Since the battle of Yu Overseer's Mountain, Su Luo was pleased to notice that her husband seemed to have undergone a lot of changes.

He spent less time in retreat and cultivation, but more time with himself.

That parting of life and death, whether it was him or her, felt the preciousness of the present happiness clearly and unprecedentedly.

Mo Dao is good to become an immortal, and he regrets the person next to him.

The two walked slowly all the way and came to the Tianjin Bridge. Luoshui flows in the night, and the water surface is full of colorful river lanterns, like a colorful and gorgeous world.

The imperial city in the distance stands majestically in the brilliant lights, the floats slowly drive through Luoshui, and the gongs and drums are noisy and thunderous.

Li Daimo and his wife stopped at the bridgehead in Tianjin, Su Luo bought two river lanterns, borrowed pen and ink and handed them to her husband and said, "You have one and I have one, make a wish on it." ”

Li Daimo smiled, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the river lamp, bent down and put it into Luoshui.

At this time, Su Luo also put the river lantern and asked her husband, "What wish did you make?"

Li Daimo said honestly: "I hope to come back next year, and it is best that Concubine Shuang and Xiaofeng are also there." ”

Su Luo clenched his hand, stared at the pair of mandarin duck river lamps that were gradually drifting away, and said with a smile: "Me too." ”

Li Daimo raised his hand to straighten his wife's sideburns that were blown by the night wind, and said with emotion: "Along the way, the way of heaven is slim, and when I look back, I realize that I have missed so many scenery. ”

Su Luo said softly: "It's okay, we still have a long way to go together." ”

Li Daimo gave his wife a warm smile, and shook her hand warmer and stronger.

The two of them snuggled up to each other by the Luoshui, not knowing that time had slipped away, until there were bursts of cheers and shouts from the direction of the imperial city.

Followed by a burst of colorful fireworks in the dark sky, the parade of floats tonight pushed to a climax.

Li Daimo looked at the fireworks from afar and said slowly: "I remember the first time I saw you, you hid behind the master and held a windmill in your hand. When the wind blows, the windmill spins, and it looks as beautiful as the fireworks tonight. ”

"You remember. Su Luo sighed softly and said, "But why have I never heard you say it?"

Li Daimo thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I think it's more evocative to hide in my heart than to say it." Looking sideways at his wife, he felt that she was more beautiful than the fireworks in the sky tonight.

Su Luo's jade cheeks flushed with a touch of red, and he said coquettishly: "Fool." ”

Li Daimo nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I'm quite stupid. ”

His gaze slowly turned to the right of Tianjin Bridge, as if he had passed through a sea of people in the night.

"Found it?" asked Su Luo in a low voice.

"Pretty much. Li Daimo replied: "Now Wang Shichong's henchmen are all gathered in the imperial city, except for those guys who never see the light. ”

Su Luo glanced at the sky and sighed, "It's almost time, I never felt that time would go so fast. ”

Li Daimo smiled slightly and said, "There is no curfew in Luoyang City tonight, let's go find a restaurant that is open all night?"

"Okay!" Su Luo's eyes gleamed with joy, "It can't be a mistake, right?"

"Just for a moment, it should be fine. Li Daimo said: "What's more, drinking with you is my top priority now." ”

The two left the Tianjin Bridge hand in hand and walked eastward, crackling everywhere with the roar of firecrackers.

Li Daimo looked left and right, like a hillbilly who had just entered the city, and exclaimed: "Luoyang City tonight is really lively, much more fun than our Mobei." ”

Su Luo said with a smile: "Staying for a while will make it more lively and fun!"

Li Daimo bowed his head and said: "Wang Shichong is really pitiful, why did he let Xiao Si worry about it-look, there is a restaurant there, which looks pretty good." ”

Su Luo looked at the restaurant called "Little Beiguo" from afar, and Ying Ying smiled and said: "Okay, let's go shopping and drink first, and then fight and set fires, we must let Wang Shichong have a lively New Year." ”
