In the night market, the lights are the most lively.
And whenever the Qiqiao Festival comes, and when the fireworks show is the most prosperous, the sky of Chang'an City is lit up for a long time.
Chang'an Everbright City is a good time for foreign merchants to take the opportunity to make a fortune. There are vendors everywhere in the market, and the products are even more dazzling.
The center of the overpass is connected to the river, and there is a large circular wooden platform and four small wooden platforms, which are used for ceremonies or singing and dancing during major festivals.
At this moment, there are girls from the instructors of the digital dance workshop who are dressed in bright clothes and have superb dancing skills to show off their skills to their heart's content.
"Master." Luo Ming followed beside Lu Jingye. At this moment, the two of them got off the carriage and walked among the crowd.
"Will the Regent make a fuss, or maybe he's not here at all?"
It's really too chaotic here, Luo Ming doesn't think the regent seems to like people in such a noisy place.
"Since you think so, then he must be here." Lu Jingye didn't hesitate, and seemed to be walking forward aimlessly.
Luo Ming silently followed behind, wondering what Lu Jingye meant by these words.
The two deliberately restrained their breath and buried themselves in a group of people. They were not too conspicuous, and in a blink of an eye they arrived under the overpass where the people gathered most densely.
Fireworks burst at high places, bright everywhere.
There are countless river lights in the river under the flyover.
"Okay! Girl with red sleeves! Let's have another one!!"
All around were shouts from the common people, cheering to dozens of girls on the huge wooden platform under the overpass, "Red Sleeve Girls! Red Sleeve Girls!!"
Hongxiu is the most famous girl in the Jiaofang Division. She has superb dancing skills and is as beautiful as a flower. Compared with the previous popular Mingyue, she looks a bit more dignified, and she is very popular among young men.
Usually at this time, fish and dragons are even more mixed, Luo Ming did not see the shadow of the regent, but instead saw a few sneaky people dressed in the Western Regions.
Not far from them, the three watched the performance on the stage.
Among the three people, the white-clothed man was quite familiar, as if he remembered something, the look in Luo Ming's eyes changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look beside him.
Lu Jingye obviously saw it too, and the expression in his eyes was slightly cold.
The third prince of Xirong, Duoduo.
Xirong was quite courageous, Duoduo had already sneaked into Beijing, but he did not meet Emperor Qing. As long as you are caught, you will be charged with ulterior motives.
"Ignore him, find someone."
After the words fell, he deviated from his sight and looked at the small wooden boxes behind the wooden platform in the distance.
This is the meaning of letting them go, Luo Ming nodded, and also moved his gaze to the distance.
At this moment, Su Changjin had only just reached the outskirts of the overpass, but the moat was full of people, even the overpass was full of people.
"That girl, I don't know where to watch the excitement." Su Ran looked worriedly at the crowds everywhere.
Through the crowd, I finally saw the grand occasion inside. Because it was the back of the stage, the view was blocked, so there were not many people watching here, and the two squeezed in easily.
Behind the dancing girl, there are more than a dozen small wooden boxes piled up on almost every small wooden platform.
"What are those wooden boxes for?"
Rubbing his nose, Su Changjin looked at a pile of wooden boxes rather strangely and asked.
"It should be the prepared fireworks. Whenever the dancers on stage finish their performance, there will always be a grand fireworks rain at the end."
There is no begging for artifice in Beiming, and the master has never cared about these things, and this is what she heard from others.
Saying that, Su Ran looked up at the sky, also a little puzzled, "However, I never heard that the sky lanterns will be released during the Qiqiao Festival..."
In the sky, a few red lanterns rose slowly from nowhere.
In Chang'an City, sky fires are explicitly banned, and fireworks must be set off at specific times and places, not to mention sky lanterns appearing in today's dry weather.
Su Changjin didn't get rid of the confusion, the smell lingering in her nostrils became more intense, and she felt even weirder when she looked at the red sky lantern in the sky.
"Does the fireworks in Daqing need sulfur?"
With cold eyes, Su Changjin looked straight at dozens of small wooden boxes.
The tension in his mind tightened, and Su Ran instantly understood what Su Changjin meant.
"No, use it in a very small amount, and it will definitely not have such a strong smell! This is..."
Su Changjin was cold and speechless.
She is not familiar with the customs of Daqing, but she is too familiar with what sulfur can be used for.
She has been in and out of the battlefield since she was a teenager, and the smell of black powder has already penetrated into her bone marrow. She can tell how much sulfur is in it with a light smell, not to mention the heavy sulfur smell at this scene.
This is fireworks, clearly black powder!
"It's black powder! It only needs a fuse, and the people at the entrance of the city with a radius of tens of miles... will not survive." Su Ran's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he looked around at the people who were still obsessed with self-care and joy.
Completely unaware of the danger coming.
"Fuse..."
While meditating, Su Changjin looked coldly at the red sky lantern rising above his head.
…
On the other side of the flyover.
Lu Jingye opened his eyes, and his expression suddenly changed.
"It's black powder."
And the sulfur smell is extremely strong, more like something from Beiming.
It was too far away just now, but now it is indeed certain that the contents of those dozens of boxes are undoubtedly black powder!
"so much?"
Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, "But there are so many fireworks on site, why hasn't the gunpowder been ignited for so long?"
As soon as the words fell, Luo Ming's expression suddenly changed.
"They want to gather the people together and wait until a specific time to detonate with a specific fuse?!"
The timing, of course, is at the climax or end of the performance, when almost everyone will be there and be unaware of it.
Hearing the continuous jumping and jumping from beside him, Luo Ming felt a constant chill in his heart.
"So, the trigger..." What exactly
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound different from the explosion of fireworks and firecrackers in the sky, as if something had been burst, it exploded!
"Sky lantern?!" Luo Ming exclaimed.
"Boom!!"
Sky lanterns began to explode continuously, and the things scattered by the sky lanterns in the sky slowly fell, countless.
Too many, one person can't stop at all...
"Signal, guard the powder box!"
Lu Jingye let out a low shout, turned around, stepped on the boat in the river and flew into the air!
At the same time, another figure jumped up from the opposite bank!
