By the time everyone had changed their clothes for going out and regrouped at the gate of the Zhenguo Palace, it was already dark and colorful lanterns had been hung on the street, making it look much livelier.

"I didn't expect to see such a scene at the border." Song Jue sighed with emotion, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Haolin, "The border can have such a big change, all of you have contributed. It’s a must.”

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do." Shen Haolin saw Song Jue put on airs, bowed slightly, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, from now on, you can personally feel the changes here, but …”

"I know!" Song Jue raised his hand, "I promise I won't run around and will follow you closely."

"Brother Xiaojue, you should remember what you said!" Shen Cha chuckled, winked at Jin Miaomiao and Hongye, and asked them to protect Song Jue on the left and right, "What do you want to buy? , tell them two, but one thing is, don’t eat randomly.”

"Don't worry, although I don't have as much food in my mouth as you, I won't eat everything."

"Okay!" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "Then let's set off and try to get to the city gate before midnight, the best place to watch the fireworks."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up!"

When Song Jue heard that there was a best spot to watch the fireworks, he grabbed Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng and was about to run away, but was grabbed by two people.

"Why are you so anxious?" Customs and customs that suddenly changed."

"That's right, it's not easy to visit the night market, so what are you doing in such a hurry?" Bai Meng walked slowly with the large group, waving to Song Jue and the others, "Come on, are there any good-looking lights here?" I’ve seen it.”

The nice-looking lamp Bai Meng mentioned is actually quite common in Jiapingguan City. However, Song Jue and Bai Meng have never seen it before going out at night. The Duke's Mansion and the Hou's Mansion generally don't hang that kind of lamp. Lamp.

This lantern is not unusual in appearance. It is a small cylinder, but it is red all over and has no other colors at all. However, it is not the kind of wedding lantern that is hung when people hold weddings. It looks ordinary. , but after lighting it, I found that it was burning brightly, especially like the flames of war on the battlefield, or a bonfire lit on the battlefield.

"This is the victory lantern." Shen Cha saw that Song Jue and Bai Meng were interested in this lantern, so he walked over and said to them, "This lantern was made by the common people to celebrate the founding of Jiaping Pass City. At that time, the people in the city Houses are very scarce, and there are no things that can be used to make festive items. The most common things that people keep in their homes are actually white paper."

"Blank paper?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Song Jue's heart tightened, "Is it to prepare for mourning anytime and anywhere?"

"Yes!" Once, more than half of the families in the entire Jiapingguan City were in mourning. Standing on the simple and easy-to-fall-down tower, one could see the whole city in white."

"Later, Jiapingguan City was officially built, with its own garrison team and solid city walls. The people wanted to celebrate and hang lanterns, but they found that there was nothing at home except mourning items, and white lanterns are special. It’s neither festive nor particularly auspicious.”

"The wisdom of the people is sometimes unexpected." Xue Ruitian saw the curiosity on Song Jue and Bai Meng's faces and smiled, "At that time, the city was in a mess, and there were many corpses of invading enemies. , so they used the blood of these uninvited enemies to dye the white lanterns red, turning the white into red, and hung them on the tower."

"This is a good idea!" Song Jue nodded and clapped his hands vigorously, "Use their blood to celebrate the new life of our border."

"That's right!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Later, there was no shortage of materials in the city, and there were more and more styles of lanterns. But every time we won a battle, every time this day came, the people We will hang these lanterns to celebrate us."

"That's great!" Song Jue grabbed Bai Meng's arm and shook it, "This kind of emotion touches me so much. I really should let those guys in Xijing City who only know how to quarrel come here to see and feel it. Let them get caught up in the smoke and smoke and stop living in their own world."

"Second the proposal!" Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, and Bai Meng said at the same time, "It saves them all their eyesight!"

"Yes, we will discuss it when we get back. As long as they make mistakes, they will be thrown to the border and handed over to you or Liu Shuai and others for training. After they have stayed here for a while, they will not be so high-minded." Song Jue caught. Holding Shen Haolin's arm, "I walked around and looked at this light. I want to see how the people at the border celebrate this day."

"Let's go!" Shen Haolin patted Song Jue, "I'll take you to have a look."

Song Jue followed Shen Haolin in a hurry, and said as he walked, "The entrance to your mansion is not very lively. It feels very deserted compared to over there."

"Look at what you said. Don't you think something is wrong?" Are you setting up a stall in front of the palace? Don't you want to scare people to death?"

"That's what I said, but the border is different, that's what I think." Song Jue raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "Did you have any rules before that you can't set up stalls at the entrance of the mansion? "

"Of course, brother Xiaojue, our place leads to the camp. If there are no restrictions, anyone can set up a stall at the door. Isn't that an opportunity for someone to take advantage of it?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow. , "We are an area of ​​focus and protection here. We must be careful. If something goes wrong, we won't have anywhere to cry."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that." Song Jue smiled sheepishly, "I completely forgot that you are a place that needs protection." He pointed to the place in front of him that was full of people and brightly lit, "That's where where is it?"
