A bright light from the southeast attracted his attention.
Zhou An leaned out half of his body and squinted towards the bright light.
He originally thought there was a fire in that direction, but he saw bright light rising into the sky, and getting brighter and brighter as the wind drifted towards him.
Like a fire burning in the sky.
"What is this?"
Zhou An was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted.
Another bright light flickered and flew into the night sky, chasing the first light.
"Is this an auspicious sign from heaven?"
Zhou An was overjoyed.
Although Grandpa Huang doesn't pay much attention to the auspicious events coming from heaven, taking this opportunity can make Grandpa Huang happy and offset the impact of Ning Wuyan's death.
"Go and see where those lights are coming from!"
Zhou An had just finished issuing the order.
I saw those bright lights increasing one by one, one after another, and one after another.
The sharp-eyed guard finally saw the clues, pointed to the light that came near here first, and exclaimed: "Master Marquis, that is not auspiciousness from the sky, that is a lantern!"
Speaking of the lantern, Zhou An put his hand on his forehead, tried his best to stretch his body to the limit, and finally saw the oval outline of the lantern.
and other lanterns in different colors.
Pink, red, yellow, blue... As they are blown by the wind, they become clearer and clearer.
He couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he was also a little curious: "Can this lantern still fly into the sky?"
No one present could answer his question.
Because it was also the first time in their lives that they saw lanterns that could reach the sky.
And this time.
Passers-by on the street also spotted the twinkling lanterns in the night sky and were amazed.
"Are these really lanterns? Why can they fly into the sky?"
"Did they get wings? Or did someone's wish come true and God put the lanterns away?"
When faced with something new and unknown, people will use their existing knowledge to make guesses.
Only Zhou An.
When he saw the direction of the lanterns rising into the sky and the light of the calcium carbide fire, his expression changed drastically.
"Go to Zhangjiazhuang quickly!"
Zhou An kicked the guard hard who was still looking up at the lanterns.
"If I'm not wrong, this must have been done by Ning Wuyang again."
"Go and check quickly!"
If Ning Wuhuang had a lantern that could fly into the sky, he would make a new plan to assassinate Ning Wuhuang and Zhou Jingxian.
Otherwise, once Ning Wuchang takes something like a lantern that is convenient for sending messages on the road, it is very likely to cause a huge sensation and cause the assassins to fail.
"Ning Wushan, you are really on the verge of death, and you still want to cause trouble for me."
…
To the west of Zhangjiazhuang, in Liangjia Village, two miles away, there is a small river about one foot wide and half a foot deep.
This small river meanders from the northwest of Jinling City, bypassing Hanshan Temple, bypassing more than a dozen nearby villages, and flows downstream to merge into the Jinling River.
Since Liangjia Village has the highest terrain and is relatively flat, the ice making workshop also occupies a large area of wasteland here, which is cool and pleasant.
So tonight, all the nearby villagers came with lanterns and planned to put them into the river to pray to the sky.
who knows.
Both those who arrived here and the girls walking on the road.
When I looked up, I saw the sky full of lanterns that were more dazzling than the stars.
"Who set up this lantern? It can actually fly into the sky?"
"I heard that Ning Shixian made it herself."
"As expected of the Poet Immortal, only the Poet Immortal can make such a lantern for the immortals to watch."
On the open ground.
Ning Wuyan, who was tying the kite string to the skeleton, couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the praises of the girls around him.
If there are real immortals in the sky, they can only fly hundreds of meters high lanterns, but they will not let them lower their noble heads to watch.
Then you have to fire a few large rockets directly to attract their attention.
"Okay, let's light the fire and let this magpie sky lantern fly."
Ning Wuyang wrapped the other end of the kite string around the wood and stuffed it into Ning Zhifeng's hand.
Kongming lanterns like this were originally designed for communication and can naturally be controlled with kite strings.
In addition to controlling direction and height, it is also beneficial to recycling and fire prevention.
Even though there are no laws and regulations about setting mountains on fire or being imprisoned, he feels that the moral constraints are more powerful at this time.
Ning Zhifeng, who got the magpie lantern from nowhere, excitedly showed off to his friends.
After letting all of them touch the lantern, they carefully lit the oil lamp holder in the paper, and with the help of Ning Wuyan, they successfully released the magpie lantern.
"The magpies fly! Fly high! Take the Cowherd to meet the Weaver Girl!"
Ning Zhifeng's cheerful laughter made everyone focus on the magpie lantern.
Seeing another lantern flying up into the sky, everyone present looked longingly. Thinking that these lanterns flying into the sky were made by Ning Wuyang, they looked at the girls around Ning Wuyang with envy, wishing they could see each other in the same way. for.
Ning Wuhuang didn't care about the outside world's attention.
He stared at the large number of test flight lanterns in the sky, thinking that the buildings here were not high and should be visible from the Midnight Pavilion in the north of the city, and a deep smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, when he agreed to Ning Zhifeng to make a lantern that could fly into the sky, he had already thought about using this thing to set up a psychological barrier for Zhou An and control Zhou An's actions when he assassinated him.
The appearance of the Kongming Lantern will make Zhou An act more cautiously.
In order to prevent the front from being too long and the war from being too long, he used the sky lantern to ask for help from others, and would inevitably choose to make a surprise attack without saying hello.
"I also want to give you a chance to die from talking too much, so that you have the illusion that I am a mouse that can be played with. However, there is no room for carelessness in killing people."
Ning Wuyang whispered to himself.
He looked away, not wanting to be affected by disappointing things anymore.
He didn't have to think about killing tonight because after tonight he just had to do it.
He wrapped another yellow chrysanthemum lantern made by Ji Jin himself with the kite string and handed it to Ji Jin.
"The one that was tested just now has already gone up to the sky. This one should be fine too. If Miss Ji has any wishes, you can write them down."
Ning Wuhuang knew that Ji Jin was not good at expressing in front of him.
She specially prepared pen and ink so that she could speak freely on paper.
"Thanks."
Ji Jin asked the maid to hold the lantern, dipped it in ink, and held the penholder.
Although she had already thought about what she wanted to write, she pretended to think about it for a while so as not to appear insincere.
When Ning Wuyan saw this, he thought she was too shy to express her feelings in public, so she turned to Shen Youchu who was writing on the peach blossom lantern and asked, "What is Miss Shen's wish?"
"Look."
After writing her wish, Shen Youchu generously picked up the lantern and showed the side with the writing on it to everyone.
I saw five simple large curly characters written on it - "Together forever"
Ning Wuyan's heart moved, but before he could ask, who did he want to be with forever?
Shen Youchu had already walked towards Ji Jin holding the lantern.
Good guy.
Ning Wuyan was glad that he didn't act sentimental just now, and felt that what Shen Youchu wrote was that he wanted to be with him.
Otherwise it would be embarrassing now.
He was thinking this and didn't notice at all, because the pink paper reflected the firelight and he couldn't distinguish clearly. Shen Youchu's face turned as red as a peach blossom at this time.
"Jin'er, look at my wish. Is it very simple and simple?"
"Don't think so much. Just write whatever you want to achieve."
Shen Youchu said it lightly, but in fact he kept adding it in his heart.
I want to be happily together with Mr. Ning, Jin'er, Jingxian, my parents, and the Ning family forever.
Do you write whatever you want to achieve?
Ji Jin glanced at Ning Wuhuang's handsome profile and finally put pen to paper.
