Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Although I have visited the headquarters of Wolong Pavilion before, it is the first time that I actually come to teach the students here.

Because it was not time for dinner, there were very few guests in Yile Restaurant, and there was no one performing on the central stage.

Lu Qing went straight through the lobby of the restaurant and entered the backyard. Before going to the classroom where the class was held, he went to the pavilion master's study first to say hello, but when he got there, he saw that the door was closed tightly, and Yin Yunying was not in it.

Qiuxi, who lived next door, heard the sound and came out to remind: "Your Excellency has gone to see the envoy, and he will be back around noon."

Lu Qing nodded: "Then I'll come back after the lecture."

After all, he was about to walk away when Qiu Xi suddenly said, "Mr., please be patient when teaching. People in Wolong Pavilion have unique temperaments."

Lu Qing rolled his eyes thoughtfully, then smiled: "Thank you for reminding me."

When he came to the door of the classroom where the plaque of "Vientiane Hall" was hung, Lu Qing heard the undisguised noise and frolicking of mixed men and women inside the room, and he had already sketched in his mind a picture of people from all schools and schools mixed together.

He straightened his clothes, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Suddenly, the room became quiet, and a faint sound of light footsteps came to the door.

Lu Qing put his hands behind his back and looked calm, thinking that he was ready to face a group of weird people, but the moment the door opened and he looked up at a female ghost in a white dress with disheveled hair, he backed away in shock two steps.

The female ghost stood in front of the door in a daze, with her head bowed and her feet resting on her feet. The skin on her hands was white and gray, and she looked like she had died tragically for many years.

For a moment, Lu Qing thought that he had run into a ghost during the day, and almost turned his head away.

But immediately, a voice from inside the room stopped him.

"It's alright, Xiaotao, the teacher will be scared away by you later, how can we do daily work!"

"Are you scared? Teacher?" The player named Xue Xiaotao suddenly raised his head, parted his long black hair, and underneath was the face of a young woman with dimples in her smile.

The woman's face was also covered in white powder, her eyebrows were shaved off, and her make-up looked rather frightening.

Even though Lu Qing knew that she was alive, he still didn't dare to look directly at her face, and nodded honestly when faced with the other party's question.

"Wow! Even the NPCs are scared, it seems that my appearance as Sadako is quite successful!" Xue Xiaotao turned around and ran back to the house happily.

"Could it not be successful, even I, a makeup artist, don't really want to see your face!"

"Will you be beaten when you parade in this dress?"

"It's okay, one ghost scares people, but a group of ghosts won't scare people!"

Listening to the chaotic chatter of the students, Lu Qing hesitated at the door for a while, and finally stepped across the threshold.

After entering the room, he realized that this woman was not the only one who was dressed strangely inside. Most of the more than thirty students were wearing strange clothes.

Some wore robes with yellow talismans on their heads and hopped with their arms raised; some stuck out their long tongues, wore high hats, and walked side by side in black and white clothes; some wore revealing clothes with fake snakes coiled around their heads. , and those wearing black robes and holding long-handled sickles, all dressed as ghosts that he had never seen before.

At first, Lu Qing felt that the appearance of these people was a bit unbearable to look directly at, but as the woman said, after seeing a group of strange people mixed together, he no longer felt scary, but rather funny.

He asked suspiciously, "What are you guys doing?"

"I'm preparing for the La Festival event!" Xue Xiaotao turned around and showed him her clothes, "This is a parade costume for the La Festival. I'm dressing up as a female ghost. Isn't it realistic?"

"..."

Lu Qing was aware of this festival parade, and the official announcement specifically mentioned it in the December newspaper delivered this morning.

On the evening of December [-], East and West City and Guangyan Street will not only hold lantern festivals, but also Nuo rituals and street parades. People can dress up and join the parade, and follow the Nuo gods to pray for blessings.

And when the exorcism is over, government officers and soldiers will enter the crowd and randomly send out holiday gifts from the governor.

When Lu Qing read the announcement of the wax festival celebration in the newspaper, he immediately realized that it was a very effective means of political propaganda.

As a holiday gift, the government does not actually need to spend too much money to prepare too much. In such a happy scene, the gift contains more meaning of blessing. Even if they only receive a steamed cake or an egg, the people will be very happy.

With only a small effort, the hearts of the people have been greatly won.

More importantly, such large-scale festivals will only appear during the Taiping period.

In this period of turmoil and chaos everywhere, there is such a place that still seems to be in a peaceful and prosperous age. If this matter is spread to other states and counties along with newspapers or caravans, it is bound to attract more Li people who yearn for stability. I am afraid that it is difficult for literati who are interested in making contributions like myself to sit still.

For the wax festival celebration, Lu Qing saw more of its political role, but ignored the content of the event itself.

Only now, seeing the group of "demons and ghosts" in front of him, did he suddenly realize that for the public, this is actually a rare entertainment experience that is both interesting and liberating.

Although I don't quite understand why these reserve spies dress up like this before getting ready to go to class in broad daylight, but Lu Qing knows the cause and effect at least, and is no longer confused by the scene in front of him.

He stood directly in front of the hall and said in an orderly tone: "Please return to your seats."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd. He thought that there would be a few disobedient ones, but he didn't expect that everyone would quickly return to their seats after hearing the words, and put away all the props and cosmetics on the table. Very well-behaved and obedient.

It's just that there are too many words.

"There it is. There is a learning progress bar for vertical and horizontal techniques on my skill bar! Will I be able to go directly to spy missions if the progress bar is full?"

"It depends on Teacher Yin's arrangement, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you learn this thing or not. There are a few people who haven't mastered this skill before, aren't they also sent to be spies?"

"There may be experience bonuses, just like research."

"Never mind him, anyway, you don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills."

"Damn, when you talked about textual research, I remembered that I haven't finished the exam yet."

"What are you afraid of? I have an exam tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just play games."

"This npc has pretty features, and is pretty good-looking. I don't know if it's easy to get along with."

"No, you still want to play teacher-student romance?"

"Everyone be quiet, tell the teacher to hurry up to class, I can't wait to swim in the ocean of knowledge!" The player pretending to be a zombie took off the yellow talisman on his head and roared, and the class finally became quiet.

Lu Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He has been advising the Southwest King for many years, and he has never been afraid of difficult debates, but this is the first time he has encountered such a chaotic scene where he was chattering and completely unable to intervene.

No wonder, just now that maid reminded him to be more patient, if he could not bear his temper when facing such a group of people, he might have slammed the door and left.

Lu Qing sighed slightly, and was about to introduce herself, when the female ghost in white raised her hand again and said, "Teacher, the black one on the wall is a blackboard, and you can write on the blackboard with the chalk on the table."

Lu Qing turned his head to look at the blackboard, and nodded to express his understanding.

When he turned his head, seeing the scorching eyes of a group of people with strange shapes, he couldn't help but sigh again, it seems that he has seen too little in the past few years!

"You have decided to go to Jiangzhou in person?" Jiang Shu asked Yin Yunying.

A few days ago, when he learned from the secret letter that Xing Sang had defected to the camp of the Di tribe, he was really uneasy for a while.

Originally, in his vision, these two forces should be facing each other and consuming each other, but now Xing Sang's move has instead made them unite and form a larger force.

Of course, Jiang Shu knew that it was impossible for Xing Sang to join the Di tribe sincerely, but he did not dare to let him be strong, so on the second day after receiving the secret letter, he gave instructions to Lord Wolong to send someone to sneak in as soon as possible. Among the high-level members of Xing Sang's forces, even if they can't influence their decisions, they must know in advance what the other party wants to do, and they must not be as passive as they are now.

But he didn't expect that Yin Yunying would choose to carry out this task in person.

The reason why Yin Yunying took this task was because of helplessness.

After receiving Jiang Shu's order, he immediately contacted several spies currently undercover in Xing Sang's camp to inquire about their situation, but the result was that they could only sneak into the army, and it was very difficult to get promoted.

As a result, Yin Yunying could only send another manpower.

However, it is not so easy to choose people. There are too few reserve soldiers in Wolong Pavilion who have such abilities. Sending people over at will, if the other party's actions are too high-profile and arouse Xing Sang's suspicion, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly realized that he still had an unused purple-level item.

One-year valid ID card, which can be randomly selected to obtain an identity and be recognized by the NPC related to the identity.

He thought that if he got a role similar to the son of a noble family, he could take advantage of his birth and seek refuge with Xing Sang, gaining the attention of the other party.

Even if you get something else, as long as it's not too outrageous, you can find a way to mix it in.

Therefore, Yin Yunying activated the props, and by virtue of his unlucky luck, he got the long-lost brother Qihui, the leader of the Di tribe, and triggered the hell-level difficulty task of "replacing Qi Ye as the leader of the Di tribe".

This identity, in terms of height, is indeed quite high, in line with his purple-level props, but he happens to belong to the Di clan camp.

Let me ask you, Xing Sang has already taken refuge in Da Shanyu of the Di tribe. As the younger brother of Da Shanyu, what is he doing to join Xing Sang instead of being a good prince and nobleman?This doesn't make sense!

Yin Yunying was speechless for a while, but after thinking for a while, he came up with a solution.

Although this identity cannot join Xing Sang's camp, it has a lot of room for manipulation.

Qi Hui's identity is said to be the long-lost younger brother of the Di tribe Da Shanyu, but in fact he is the proton who was taken as a hostage and sent to the capital of Wei State since childhood.

Now that the capital of Wei State is in chaos, he can just make up a story, saying that he escaped from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos between the two kings, but accidentally scattered with his subordinates, begging all the way to Jiangzhou, and heard that Xing Sang had joined the Di tribe, so he went to It's normal to ask the other party for help to help you return home, right?

As long as he has been in Xing Sang's camp, he can put his own people in it. Even if one day he is really sent back to the Di clan camp to become a prince, he can still collect information on the two forces.

All in all, if this identity is used well, it can still play a big role.

As for the task triggered by the character, it doesn't matter if you do it or not.

The task of replacing the leader of the Di tribe was too difficult, but his status was only valid for one year. Even if he assassinated the leader of the Di tribe, it would be difficult for him to inherit the throne because he was alone and without the support of any forces behind him.

And if the matter is revealed, he will be hunted down by the relatives and subordinates of the original leader, and then this identity will be abolished.

Rather than wasting a high-level item in vain, it is better to lurk quietly for a year and get more information for your own camp.

Yin Yunying didn't tell Jiang Shu these specific thoughts, after all, it involved mission props, and he might be blocked by the system if he said it.

So he just said: "Wolong Pavilion can't find a suitable person for the time being, so I have to go there in person. Don't worry, my lord. During the mission, I will not lose the job of Wolong Pavilion. I will choose an acting pavilion master in the pavilion." , send the secret message to the lord for me."

Seeing his confident appearance, Jiang Shu knew that he might have got some special props, so she nodded and said, "Since you have a plan, I will leave it to you to do it."

Yin Yunying cupped her hands: "Yes."

·

Although Yin Yunying had already decided to go to Jiangzhou in person, she did not act immediately. Instead, she planned to wait until the La Festival ceremony was over before setting off. She took advantage of this time to select an acting pavilion master and arrange all the affairs of the Crouching Dragon Pavilion properly. .

Time flies by in the midst of busyness, and it is the day of the wax festival in the blink of an eye.

It started to snow in the early morning of that day, and the snow fell heavily, one after another, and soon formed a thick layer on the ground.

When Jiang Shu was working in the government office, seeing the snow falling outside the window, she felt worried for a while, worried that the snow would not stop, and the originally scheduled lantern festival would not be able to be held as scheduled.

Fortunately, the snow stopped by noon.

The officers and soldiers received orders from the higher-ups to shovel away the snow on Guangyan Street as quickly as possible, and merchants in the East and West cities also sent out to clear the snow. By evening, stalls had begun to be set up on the street. shed.

Some aborigines vendors were hesitant to open their stalls at first when they saw the bad weather, but after seeing officers and soldiers blocking the road and groups of young people happily bringing their goods, they finally settled down.

These fearless young men are undoubtedly players.

Players don't care whether it's snowing or not. Anyway, they must participate in the game's welfare activities. Some people even think that this snow is specially arranged by the game for the festive atmosphere.

Just like Christmas has snow to have atmosphere, their lights must be more beautiful with snow.

And it turns out that the lanterns are indeed more beautiful against the background of snow.

At night, the entire street is bathed in lights, and the snow on the roof and on both sides of the street reflects glitteringly, and occasionally snow dust falls from the treetops, shining like gold leaf.

It is rare to hold such a grand event, and it would be a pity not to come out and visit.

So tonight, when the exorcising team came to the gate of the government to hold the exorcism ceremony, Jiang Shu and Xie Min also came out to watch.

After the festival was over, the Nuo God team set off again, and the two put on masks and joined the parade team under the protection of several trilogy.

This year's parade is even bigger and more spectacular due to the participation of aborigines.

In order to get the gifts in the first time, most of the players crowded in the front, and most of the people in the back were ordinary people. Therefore, the two of them wore masks and mixed in, which did not attract much attention from others.

Under the sleeves of the thick robe, Jiang Shu took the warm hand of the person around him, pressed his palm, and when Xie Min looked at him from the side, he said: "Let's patrol with them to the end today, there will be a surprise at the end .”

Because of wearing a mask, Xie Yin couldn't see Jiang Shu's expression, but he could feel his joyful warmth from those bright and clear eyes.

When he was young, he responded with a smile in his voice: "Okay."

The lights are lit, the gongs and drums are noisy, the Nuo gods are singing Nuo words and prayers at the front, and the players behind are holding props excitedly to echo the sound of "Nuo" and "Nuo". Lively but not cluttered.

The long parade started from the east gate and ended at the west gate, and lasted for three full hours.

At midnight, the parade was finally over, but everyone still refused to leave, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come and give gifts.

But at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded again from the West City Gate.

Before everyone could understand what was going on, they only heard a "bang", and then a cluster of bright flames pierced the night sky, making a loud explosion, and suddenly a huge firework burst out in the dark night. Dazzling.

The people panicked for a while at the sound, but immediately, they were deeply attracted by the incomparably brilliant fireworks in the night sky. They were all dumbfounded and lost their minds looking at the brilliant sparks constantly blooming in the sky. "Wow, wow" exclamation.

The players didn't expect that there would be a fireworks show at the end. For fear of missing the most beautiful fireworks, they kept calling for friends to take pictures and group photos, and even the officers and soldiers forgot to snatch gifts when they entered the crowd.

Behind the team, Jiang Shuyin had already known about this, and took Xie Min to a pavilion suitable for viewing fireworks in advance.

Even though Xie Yin was prepared, the surprise in Jiang Shu's mouth would definitely not be ordinary, but when he saw the beauty of the fireworks blooming, he was still shocked by the short and dazzling beauty.

Whenever the fireworks are exploded, the night sky suddenly becomes as bright as day, as if a gap has been cracked to let out the summer sun, and the shining brilliance is like the stars and the Milky Way shining across.

The two had already taken off their masks, Jiang Shu looked at Xie Min, the bright light of fireworks was dancing in the other's deep eyes.

He suggested, "How about making a wish?"

Xie Yin turned his head to meet his gaze, and nodded with a "hmm" while pulling the corners of his lips.

Jiang Shu thought for a while, looked ahead and said: "The New Year will be ushered in soon, and this year is going well. I hope that the weather will still be smooth next year, Minan Wufu!"

Xie Yin said softly: "Then I wish my lord all the best and everything goes well."
