My ancient leisure life

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Nuo pulled Cheng Ge and said, "Let's go see how the [-]th Lantern Festival in Kyoto will be."

He and Cheng Ge came back today for the fifteenth day, and Zhou Yuyi and Zhao Wenhao asked them to go to see the lantern together, which immediately aroused Xu Nuo's interest, wanting to see how the ancient fifteenth lantern festival would be.

"Is there any ice lamp?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Yeah..." Cheng Ge was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand these things, and turned his attention to Zhao Wenhao.

Zhao Wenhao saw that they were all looking at him, so he, a native of Kyoto, introduced to them: "There are no ice lanterns, and craftsmen have made them before, but it is difficult to place the lights in them, so I gave up."

"However, the Kyoto Lantern Festival is still very famous." Zhao Wenhao said: "Every year, the emperor will have fun with the people in the imperial city. Not only is the royal lantern building beautiful, all kinds of exquisite lanterns emerge in endlessly. Aristocratic families and merchants also racked their brains to construct lanterns with different styles to match, so that the emperor and the empresses of the palaces can see them well, so that they can present them for a good omen."

"Brother Zhao." Xu Nuo asked: "You said that there is a lantern tower in the royal family, it must be very beautiful, can we go and see it?"

"Of course." Zhao Wenhao said with a smile: "It's just for the people to watch. It's an act of the royal family showing its closeness to the people. How can we not see it?"

They came out after dinner, and the shops on both sides of the street were decorated with lights early, and thousands of lights were lit up, bringing brilliance on this cold winter night, dispelling the cold wind and cold, like being in a warm ocean.

At this time, there are groups of people on the road, with bright smiles on their faces, all the hard work of the year and the depression brought about by the disaster year are all gone, and they all enjoy the beauty of this good day.

Along the way, it seems that Xu Nuo lacks interest. Ancient lanterns are mostly made of paper and silk cloth. Although various lanterns in the shape of flowers, plants, insects, fish, and animals have a unique flavor after being skillfully crafted, they aroused his nostalgia for modern times.

I really miss the crystal clear ice lanterns, all kinds of lanterns made of glass, the lively scene of Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I miss my relatives and everything there.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ge asked while holding his hand, seeing that he was in a trance.

"It's okay." Xu Nuo shook his head, but the eyes that met Cheng Ge betrayed him.

Cheng Ge gently squeezed his hand to show comfort.He heard Xu Nuo talk about the world he came to, and he is also full of curiosity about everything there, and he knows how much he misses his relatives.

If possible, Cheng Ge also hopes that he can return to that place. He also doesn't like the evil old society in Xu Nuokou, and he is not as comfortable as his former tribe.

Of course, the premise is that he can also leave here with Xu Nuo.It doesn't matter to him where he is, if he hadn't taken care of these friends and relatives, fearing that they would be persecuted, he would have gone away with Xu Nuo.

Cheng Ge is a person who desperately longs for freedom, which has a lot to do with his background, but for the promise of happiness and the kindness of promise, he is willing to compromise and even trouble.

Xu Nuo was bored and led by Cheng Ge. If he knew that he would go out to look at the lights with great interest, but it would make him feel uncomfortable, and he would rather not come out because he misses his relatives on this festival.

"Promise." Zhou Yuyi exclaimed suddenly, "Look, that's the Royal Lantern Building, it's really beautiful! It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful lantern."

He pointed to the Royal Lantern Building and sighed in amazement: "There are also glazed lanterns, which are really beautiful. This is the only way to see these lanterns made of glazed glass in the Royal Lantern Building in Kyoto. There are only one or two lanterns in other places, which are also rare. It’s hanging on a high place, and it’s impossible to get a closer look.”

Xu Nuo looked up and saw thousands of lanterns blooming like a hundred flowers, all of which are exquisite in different shapes, fully demonstrating the skillful craftsmanship of the ancient people.

Although the craftsmanship is good, and the scenery is vivid, but it is as complicated as the modern world, and it cannot be compared with just one material, let alone others.

"Yeah..." In a blink of an eye, two lanterns were hung high above the building of ten thousand lights, one high, one low, one left and one right, and dragons and phoenixes fluttered in the wind. shine."

Zhao Wenhao introduced them at the right time: "The two dragon and phoenix lanterns hanging on the high place were hung by the emperor ten years ago. Whoever can shoot them down will grant him a wish. Dragons and phoenixes cannot enter hundreds of families, so the emperor will grant his wish to show award."

"Ten years!" Xu Nuo exclaimed, "There is not even one shot down, which shows how difficult it is to shoot, otherwise how could it be so far."

"It would be great if Brother Cheng could shoot it down." Zhou Yuyi frowned in disgust and said, "We can make a request like the emperor. It is best not to let the third prince succeed, even the prince."

"Haha." Xu Nuo couldn't hold back his laughter, "Even if all the lanterns are shot down, the emperor will not allow it."

He was also worried, not to mention that Zhou Yuyi hated the third prince and they wanted to die, even he hated it so much.He doesn't need to do anything now, he just needs to live his own life with Cheng Ge, but because of the matter of the third prince, they can't ignore Zhou Yuyi and the others, they can only find a way to resolve it.

But what can be done, that is the son of the royal family, a beloved person, the soon-to-be crowned prince, the future king of a country.

He could really tell Cheng Ge that he should find a chance to kill him.If this is found out, even if there is no evidence, none of the people who may have had entanglements with the third prince and the others will be able to escape, and even more people will be implicated.

"I'll try it." Cheng Ge looked at Zhao Wenhao, "If the shot is real, the emperor can really fulfill his wish."

"Cheng Ge." Xu Nuo grabbed his arm, "This is not easy to shoot, the emperor's wish is not so good, I don't know how many people have paid attention to this, it has been hanging there for ten years."

"I just give it a try." After hearing this, Cheng Ge began to worry, "Since it's posted, anyone can try it, and it won't be a problem if you miss the shot."

"It's okay." Zhao Wenhao looked at Xu Nuo nervously, as if Cheng Ge was in some danger, and smiled from the side: "Many people come to test every year, and no one laughs at them if they fail."

"Cheng Ge is so skilled in martial arts, he should give it a try. It's all just a pastime." Zhao Wenhao said.

Then he told Cheng Ge that the reason why the dragon and phoenix lamps are difficult to shoot is mainly because of the height of 90 meters and the distance of [-] meters, and the eyesight and wrist strength under the dark night.

The lantern is hung in the sky, and he is not completely still. He sways back and forth with the cold wind, which is also a big difficulty. Moreover, he can only shoot three or three arrows, which cannot be said to be difficult.

"Since there is nothing wrong, it's okay if you miss the shot. If you want to go and have fun, then go." Xu Nuo immediately agreed with Cheng Ge to go when he heard that there was no danger.

"Brother Cheng will definitely hit it." Zhou Yuyi pumped his fists.

"Yes, I will definitely hit it." Xu Nuo also encouraged, "You are so skilled, and since you took the initiative to go, you must be somewhat sure."

He winked at Cheng Ge, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I haven't seen you shoot an arrow yet, and today is just a feast for my eyes."

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuyi again, "Brother Yi is still hoping that you can get the wish the emperor promised, then our affairs should be solved easily, and we don't have to be so aggrieved by vigilance all the time."

"Yeah." Cheng Ge looked at their expectant eyes, and smiled slightly: "I think so too, and I will do my best."

He promised that he would live in seclusion with him in the mountains, where he would live a carefree life similar to that of his tribe. He was excited and eager in his heart, hoping that all this could be resolved smoothly as soon as possible.

Hearing what Zhao Wenhao said now, he immediately wants to shoot down the lanterns, and ask the emperor to make a promise to protect the safety of his relatives and friends, so that he can leave with peace of mind.

Making lanterns may be difficult for others, but it is easy for him.The orc's eyesight, wrist strength, and even physical strength are not comparable to those of today's humans, not to mention that he also practiced the monster skills given by his master.

Apart from being unable to transform into an orc now, his body has already been polished by blood essence and exercises, and he has become the same as an orc. It is not a problem to shoot a lantern.

It can be said that the emperor's move seems to be tailor-made for Cheng Ge. When he is eager to solve the threat of the third prince and the others, he certainly cannot let go of such a coincidence.

"Huh?" Xu Nuo and his party came to the root of the imperial city, where there was a high archery platform, "Someone is already shooting arrows."

"There are a lot of them every year." Zhao Wenhao said with a smile: "I used to expect to be able to shoot, but now it is just a goal. Many people come to check today to see if they have improved after a year of hard training."

"Hmm." Xu Nuo touched his chin and said, "Daxing is so big, there are probably many people who can shoot down the lanterns. It's just that they don't want to wade into this muddy water."

"Yeah." Cheng Ge looked appreciatively, patted Xu Nuo's head and said, "If I didn't want to seek safety and reduce some unnecessary troubles, I wouldn't come to shoot this lantern."

They waited under the stage for a while, and Cheng Ge went up after watching those people shoot down.

Xu Nuo saw that these people were not discouraged, on the contrary, they were still chatting happily, as if it was a small game, maybe it was because they had failed too many times, and they knew they couldn't hit it.

Just as he was distracted, Cheng Ge on the high platform had already bent his bow and set his arrow. Xu Nuo was about to raise his fist to cheer him up, but the arrow had already left the string, and the dragon lantern on the top of the high-hanging lantern building had already fallen.

Just when he was about to burst into cheers again, the phoenix lantern also fell, and he was really stunned now, and the development was too fast.

He looked over to Cheng Gena on the stage, and saw that he had already gone down, he couldn't help curling his lips and said inwardly: This is the end, why do we have to cheer a little before shooting the second arrow!That's it, it's over.

Zhao Wenhao and Zhou Yuyi were also stunned, they shot down so easily, why there was no sound around, could it be that no one cares about such a big matter, it is the emperor's promise, no one cares about it?

This can't be blamed on other people. After hanging for ten years, who would have thought that someone would suddenly shoot it down, and even one shot would result in two hits.

No one watching the lanterns noticed that the two lanterns were shot down, but the guarding sergeant knew it. After a short moment of stupefaction, he suddenly reacted and immediately beat drums and gongs to inform.

"It's over." Cheng Ge came down to see them staring at him blankly, and asked strangely: "What's the matter? Didn't the lights not belong to me after the shooting, so I want to keep it for the emperor?"

"Yes yes yes." Zhao Wenhao nodded like a chick, "You did the right thing, but you can't take it."

"Boom, boom, boom." The drums on the high platform sounded, and Xu Xu was knocked back to his senses, "Ahhh!" He jumped on Cheng Ge, "You are too powerful, hahaha, you are so powerful!"

At this time, the people of the Lantern Festival were attracted by the sound of the drums, and found out whether it was the dragon and phoenix lanterns that were shot down, or the two lanterns disappeared into the sky together.

"Let's go." Cheng Ge found that people were coming up to the side of the shooting platform, and immediately shouted, hugging the clothes hanging on his body and promising to leave.

"Go slowly." As soon as he left, he was stopped by the sergeant next to him, "Please follow us to see the emperor, someone has already gone to announce the good news, and he should be summoned soon."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A eunuch quickly stepped up the tower and reported with a happy face: "The dragon and phoenix lanterns have been shot down together, and people are waiting to be summoned below."

"What..." The people above the imperial city were all shocked, that someone could actually shoot them down, and they shot them down together.

"Who is it?" After being shocked for a moment, the emperor hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly pass it on."

"Hahaha." The emperor laughed with pride, "I really have a real warrior in Daxing, and today I can see it with my own eyes."
