As night fell, Yunshang and the others were on the boat, not knowing what was going on in the nearby towns, so they could only wait.
After dinner, some river lanterns gradually appeared on the river, and then more and more river lanterns gradually appeared...
Chengye thought it was pretty and interesting, so he lay on the bow of the boat and wanted to reach out for the river lanterns in the river, but Yunshang quickly grabbed him: "These river lanterns are used by people to pass letters to their dead relatives. Inside, there are what they want to say to their dead relatives. If you fish them up, these river lanterns will not reach their dead relatives... "
Hearing what Yunshang said, Chengye quickly let go of his hand: "I don't know, I won't fish anymore."
Yun Shang laughed: "If you want to set off river lanterns, I can ask someone to make some for you to play with."
Chengye shook his head: "But I don't have anyone to talk to, so I don't want to."
Chengye stood up: "Just look at it like this."
Chengye was talking, when he saw light gradually rising in the distance, Chengye was overjoyed, and quickly grabbed Yunshang's hand: "Mother, mother, look!"
"Huh?" Yun Shang thought that there was something in Chengye's hand that he wanted to show him, so he lowered his head.
This made Chengye very anxious: "Mother, look quickly, they are setting off Kongming lanterns."
Yun Chang raised her head, and she really saw a few lights gradually rising not far away, which looked like Kongming Lanterns.
Yun Chang looked at it for a moment, then turned around and ordered the hidden guard: "Get ready, go ashore."
"yes."
The secret guard called the boat to dock, and Yun Chang lowered her head to look at Chengye. With just one glance, Chengye understood what she wanted to express in her heart, and hurriedly promised: "Mother, you can go and save the father, and I will definitely save you." Stay on the boat well, don't run around, with hidden guards following you, mother, you can rest assured. Mother, be careful, I will wait for you to come back."
Yun Chang nodded, but didn't say much anymore, before the boat completely landed, Yun Chang had already disembarked with the hidden guards.
The place where they were was not far from the city of Qinxi. The dark guard came ashore with the Kongming lantern, and unfolded the Kongming lantern after landing.
Kongming lanterns are big and small, there are twenty or thirty of them.
"There are a lot of people in Qinxi City. There are thousands of Kongming lanterns to be released tonight. In order to make their Kongming lanterns float far enough and high enough, the Kongming lanterns made by many wealthy families are not small. There are so many, our Kongming lanterns are mixed in, and it is not too conspicuous."
Yun Chang nodded, only kept raising her head, looking at the Kongming Lantern floating in the sky.
The dark guard also looked at it for a while: "Our luck is really good. There is some wind today, but it is not too strong. It is blowing towards us. Most of these Kongming lanterns will pass above our heads. We can take advantage of this time Let it fly. Maybe the sky is helping us, the wind direction today is just right, and it will pass above the Wu Clan, so we don’t need to control the direction.”
A Kongming lantern was already gradually drifting towards this side. Yun Chang responded, but did not speak.
After a while, more and more Kongming lanterns floated over, and the dark guard finally couldn't help it: "Master, are we ready?"
"hold on."
hold on
The dark guard didn't know what Yun Shang wanted to wait for, so he just responded and waited quietly.
Yun Chang kept looking up, and the Kongming Lantern that was released at the beginning has gradually drifted away. It looks like it should have reached the place where the Wu Clan lives.
However, there are Kongming lanterns flying up in Qinxi city.
Yun Shang waited for a while before lifting her feet onto the bamboo basket of the Kongming Lantern: "Get ready to light the fire."
The dark guard responded, and the dark guard who had originally chosen to board the Kongming Lantern quickly mounted the Kongming Lantern. Soon, the fire was lit. Yun Chang felt the heat rising little by little, and the Kongming Lantern gradually bulged up, and began to stand up. Get up, and immediately, the basket shakes and slowly rises into the air.
The Kongming lanterns rose higher and higher, gradually converging with those Kongming lanterns in the sky.
There are many people in Qinxi City, and the Kongming lanterns are densely packed. They are mixed in, but they are as inconspicuous as Yunshang originally imagined.
In order not to attract attention, both Yunshang and the hidden guard squatted inside the basket without showing their heads, and could only vaguely see the situation outside from the gap in the bamboo basket.
The lights outside were bright, but Yun Chang only looked down.
Below is a piece of pitch black, only occasionally can vaguely see the shadows of mountains and dense forests, like wild beasts dormant in the night, which is extremely frightening.
Before going ashore, Yunshang took an hourglass, and the hourglass was slowly leaking sand down, letting Yunshang know about the time.
Yun Chang glanced at the hourglass, and it had been two quarters of an hour since they had lit the sky lanterns.
Yun Chang frowned, looked around, but could no longer see the lights in Qinxi City.
After a while, Yunshang vaguely saw some light appeared in the distance.
Yun Chang's whole body shook, her back straightened up, she just stared at the light in the middle of the bamboo slats, the light was not as dense as the light in the city, the stars were scattered, like stars falling in the night sky, a little scattered , but not much.
Yun Chang looked at it carefully for a while, and then she almost made up her mind.
There, it should be where the Wu Clan is.
Yun Chang focused on the light, and after a while, she found that the direction of the Kongming Lantern seemed to be a little off. If they continued to float in the current direction, they might just miss the position directly above the Wu Clan.
Yunshang squinted her eyes, and there were quite a few Kongming lanterns above the Wu Clan...
Yun Shang quickly took out a flute from her sleeve and used the sound of the flute to convey the message.
Soon, some flute sounds echoed from time to time from nearby.
Yun Chang looked at the knots used to control the direction in the basket, selected one of them, and pulled it lightly a few times.
Soon, the Kongming Lantern she was on began to deviate from the original direction and slowly flew towards the bright place.
Yun Chang's eyes kept staring outside, seeing the Kongming lanterns falling slowly and scattered in various places because the lamp oil was burned out from time to time.
Yun Shang pursed her lips, staring at the places where the lights were with all her heart and mind, thinking about the map of the Wu Clan drawn by the dark guards who went to the Wu Clan with Luo Qingyan before, thinking about it Appropriate drop site.
The Kongming Lantern is getting closer and closer to the light.
Yun Shang kept looking at the light, paying attention to the relatively sparse position of the light, and kept holding a sigh of relief in her heart.
You can only fight it out, it's only a matter of time before you are discovered, just look at this sooner or later.
As long as they procrastinate long enough, they can do enough.
Yunshang quickly determined the location, picked up the flute again, passed the signal, then carefully adjusted the direction, and floated towards that place.
