Doctor Qiu Quan once again acted as a translator and told Kratos about Luo Shixin's intentions.

Kratos was stunned at this moment.

General, the leader of the war...

These Kratos are not unaware of them. They also exist in the West, and most of them are spectators in the arena. In the West, only the nobles have the right to lead their troops and roam the battlefield. He was a slave since he was a child, and his greatest wish was to escape from the body of a slave and regain his own freedom.

Now Luo Shixin rejected his request to be a slave and gave him a position to lead the army, saying that he believed that his strength could achieve certain results. He did not have the intention of treating him as a slave, but also gave him considerable respect. His eyes as big as a lantern gave birth to tears, and he felt an unspeakable excitement: whether it is life or death, this person will follow him!

Luo Shixin was really a little troubled. This guy was so easy to deceive. It was natural to give him a team leader with his bravery. It was necessary to be moved like this. But he didn't know that Kratos was a slave or a black slave. Even if he was not welcomed by Western slaves, he was excluded everywhere. He had no other skills except for the bravery fighting on the brink of death.

The King of Tianzhu had no eyes, but regarded him as an ordinary warrior and treated him as a Kunlun slave. Since he was young and more than thirty years old, only Luo Shixin truly respected him and treated him well. For him, his feelings should be extraordinary.

Kratos was able to walk down the ground, but he still limped and did not recover.

Luo Shixin asked him to take a good rest and learn Chinese with Qiu Quan so that he would be more convenient for communication in the future.

Before we knew it, there was only one end left in the New Year, and it was the Spring Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival is commonly known as the Lantern Festival. There are many sayings about this festival. It was a festival that was originally in the Qin Dynasty, but it was officially valued during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. Several kinds of speeches were also circulated. Some said that Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty set up to commemorate the "Pinglu", and some said that the Shangyuan Festival was a festival derived from the birthday of the Taoist ancestor Laozi.

However, the latter was obviously accepted by the Tang Dynasty. Because in order to improve the integrity of the Li family, Li Yuan began to promote the Taoist ancestor Li Er, who was respected as Laozi, as the ancestor of the Li family. This celebration of the "ancestor" is naturally worthy of his remaining efforts. He also issued a special order to cancel the curfew on the Lantern Festival, so that the world can have fun all night long.

After such promotion, the Shangyuan Festival has become the most "gaochao" of Spring Festival festive activities, and various programs are very prosperous. Especially the popularity of lanterns, it is even more famous.

On such a rare festive day, Luo Shixin was reluctant to stay at home and invited Uncle Fu, Pei and Pei Xingjian to play. Uncle Fu refused on the grounds of being old, and Pei refused even if he could go out with Luo Shixin. Only Pei Xingjian looked expectant.

Luo Shixin also took the little guy with him and traveled to Chang'an City at night.

Pei Xingjian has always followed Fu Bo. Pei lives in a remote countryside. Luo Shixin had previously been sent to Jiangzhou as an official and had never seen the Shangyuan Lanterns in the capital.

After leaving the mansion, I immediately realized that the Shangyuan Lanterns in the place were really nothing compared to Chang'an.

Local lanterns are the choice of an empty place in villages and towns, gather together to make lanterns and set lanterns to add joy. Chang'an does not matter where or where, there are various lanterns at the doors of almost every household. There are also huge lanterns hanging outside his Duke's mansion. At first glance, colorful lanterns are hung everywhere on the entire street, illuminating the entire Chang'an red, making it a city that never sleeps.

"So beautiful!" Pei Xingjian was a little mature. After all, he was a six-year-old child. Seeing the whole of Chang'an bathed in the bright red candlelight, even the dark night sky was reddished by the candlelight, half of the sky was as bright as the sunset. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Take you to a fun place." Luo Shixin took Chi Piao, pulled Pei Xingjian on the horse, and went straight to Qujiang Chi Xing.

Qujiangchi is the southeast corner of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It is named after the winding water flow. Because of its beautiful scenery, it has been a royal garden since ancient times. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Yichun Garden, Yichun Houyuan and Leyou Garden were built. When Chang'an was expanded in the Sui Dynasty, it was dug into a pond, called Furong Pool, and the Garden was called Furong Garden.

Because it is a royal garden, Furong Garden is not allowed to enter. However, the vast space near Furong Pool is a place where people in Chang'an gather to play. All the activities of the Shangyuan Festival can be enjoyed here.

Luo Shixin still made this basic preparation.

Walking slowly along the way, Chang'an is already crowded, and most of the goals they are taking are consistent. Although it is not as exaggerated as crowds, there are many people walking together, even if there are horses, they are not much faster.

Luo Shixin looked at the handsome and elegant children of wealthy families and those young women who were dressed on the street, and couldn't help but smile: In ancient times, the Lantern Festival was no different from the "qingen" festival in later generations. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, the ladies were not just a sign of seeing each other. Only during grand festivals like the Shangyuan Festival can you go out together to play. Appreciating lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a chance to be in friendship. Unmarried men and women can also find their own other half in their lives by enjoying lanterns.

"But I don't know if that girl Zheng Liwan will go!" This thought flashed through Luo Shixin's mind, and then he said, "If you can meet Princess Pingyang, that's a good thing."

Luo Shixin couldn't help but feel angry and funny when he had such thoughts. What's wrong with him? It would be fine to think about Zheng Liwan, but he could be considered a fiancée. But Pingyang...

Thinking of Pingyang's appearance after the serious illness, Luo Shixin couldn't help but feel distracted. In his impression, Pingyang is as heroic as a man, and he reveals his heroic spirit and wiseness everywhere. He may have to maintain his majesty and be serious. He has a little bit of aloofness in his stunning appearance, and he feels that he can be seen from afar and not blasphemous. But after this serious illness, Pingyang, who has changed his temperament, occasionally reveals his daughter's appearance. Is it the so-called contrast cuteness?

The more Luo Shixin thought about it, the more he became, the more he became, and he quickly ended his thoughts.

The closer you get to Qujiangchi, the more dense the tourists are.

Luo Shixin had to indicate his identity and sent his love to the homes of a wealthy family nearby.

When the other party heard that it was Luo Shixin, he opened the door of convenience without hesitation and exclaimed that he was the general.

After Luo Shixin thanked him, he led Pei Xingjian along the crowd to the bank of Qujiang.

When they entered Qujiang, the two of them felt like they had entered a new world, shouting and playing, and huge lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, and fire trees and silver flowers all over the ground were very prosperous and lively.

Pei Xingjian was overwhelmed with his eyes and pulled Luo Shixin to the lively place.

Luo Shixin also let him pull him. The little brother had fun and he felt that he was worth the trip. Because he was short, he couldn't see the distance.

Luo Shixin simply carried him on his shoulders and let him see further.

"Brother, look at it, there is there!" Pei Xingjian suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "It's so lively there."

Luo Shixin looked up and couldn't help but sigh. There was a giant lamp wheel with tens of thousands of lanterns a hundred meters away, which shone together and were extremely spectacular.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Luo Shixin squeezed forward along the crowd, and when he came close, he was so amazed that he couldn't speak. In front of them was a giant lamp tree, towering into the clouds, more than one meter wide and six meter high. It was surrounded by brocade, and there were countless trees around him, and each branch was covered with various colors of lights, which made people dazzled and couldn't even see it. If you count it carefully, there were at least 20,000 bottles, which was a big deal.

The emergence of this giant lamp tree has overwhelmed all the lanterns near Qujiang Pond.

A dense crowd of people rushed here.

At this moment, a middle-aged merchant with a simple face appeared in the middle of the flower tree. He held a golden gong in his hand and pounded it three times, looking like he was talking.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, and they all looked at what the middle-aged merchant was about to say.

"I am the manager of Zheng Xi, the Zheng family business manager in Chang'an..." As soon as the middle-aged merchant reported that he understood, an uproar suddenly came from all around him.

Zheng Xi's reputation is unknown, but the Zheng family business is very famous and is the largest cloth merchant in the world. When Luo Shixin was the general manager in Jiangzhou, he heard about the Zheng family business and the famous Zheng Fengchi, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Fengchi is recognized as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, after Li Yuan took over Chang'an, Zheng Fengchi gave him tens of thousands of yuan of wealth as military expenses, and was even received by Li Yuan. His family's property is countless, and his residences are everywhere, and he has a lot of contact with the powerful and powerful. There are many places to consume in the Tang Dynasty. Whenever the finances are tight, Zheng Fengchi will generously donate money and contribute funds to help.

He even showed off his wealth in front of Li Yuan, saying that every tree on Zhongnan Mountain was hung with silk, all the trees on the mountain were hung with silk, and there were still silk at home. His daughter got married, and there were thousands of guests. When the bride appeared, there were 300 maids beside her, all of whom were beautiful, pearls and jade, hanging hairpins and walking on their shoes, shining brightly, making people unable to tell which one was the bride.

It can be seen that the Zheng family is rich, and the wealth is as good as the country, and only the Zheng family can come up with such a thing.

Zheng Xi continued: "It was the festive night of Shangyuan that the great home specially bought the Sansheng tree from the Western Regions, embellished it, and made a sea of ​​trees to celebrate the festival. This tree was named Sansheng, which means fate to determine Sansheng. The great home specially created twenty lantern riddles. Whoever answered many questions would have the opportunity to invite a partner to the top of the Sansheng tree, confronted the lower level, and enjoy the scenery around the Qujiang Pond."

As soon as Zheng Xi finished speaking, someone immediately shouted.

The Spring Festival is like the "qingen" festival. Many people fall in love with their partner on this festive festival. Looking at the Sansheng Tree decorated with tens of thousands of lanterns, they give a deep confession on it. Which woman can control it? The passionate young people with high self-supporting talents are like chicken blood, holding the mentality of reaching the top, quietly waiting for Zheng Xi to give a question.
