Chapter 489: On Stage

Time is like water, years are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, it is the New Year Festival.

Snow removal, ceremonies, climbing platforms, traditions of Miyagi New Year Festival.

Incense burners are placed in front of every household, chickens and sheep are slaughtered and pig heads are placed. The people of Wu'an Kingdom do not respect ghosts and gods, but only heaven and earth.

Therefore, none of these things were placed on the high platform, and all of them were placed three feet in front of the door. The poor passing by can take it, and the beggars can eat whatever they want, which is called a gift from heaven and earth.

All things are born to support people, and people respect the sky with sincerity.

With the sound of firecrackers and the lights and festoons, from today onwards, three large vats will be placed at the entrances of all wine shops, filled with wine.

Respect heaven with one mouth, earth with one mouth, and people with one mouth.

There are three big vats for heaven, earth and people. The wine should be clear and not muddy. Anyone who comes can drink, drink as much as you like, until you finish drinking.

All wine shops are proud that their wine tanks are drunk by passers-by on the day of the New Year Festival, which proves that their wine is good.

After today, the big vat in front of someone's house has bottomed out, which proves that this restaurant is of a high level and popular. In the coming year, business must be good.

Other businesses also have activities, such as selling food and setting up water seats, taking pride in the fact that there are many eaters.

Those who sell clothes, sprinkle flowered clothes on the street, not only need to look good, but also must be made of high-quality materials.

There are all kinds of celebrations, too numerous to enumerate.

Only the merchants selling weapons are completely closed today. All weapons will be moved to the warehouse, and no one will sell them.

This is called stop swordsman, New Year's Eve.

Harmony, reunion, Wuan world!

The four main gates began to cast a high platform. The craftsmen are all experts recommended by the people, and the requirement is to start construction at sunrise, complete it at noon, and dismantle it a day later.

There are high platforms everywhere, offering sacrifices to the four directions of heaven and earth.

Among them, Wusheng Gate is the most grand and grand one built every year. The reason is also very simple, because the craftsmen who built the high platform at Wushengmen are all big men of the Juli clan.

In their opinion, the height of a mere ten feet is too short, and every year they build high platforms that are at least one hundred feet high.

The crowd was crowded and bustling.

Countless people crowded outside the gate of Wushengmen, watching the high platform being quickly cast.

If it is normal, there are not so many people who come to see the high platform.

But this year is different. This year, someone's high platform is not only used for sacrifices, but also for competitions.

Zhang Guang, the first of the Eight Heroes of the Prince's Mansion, battles Donghua swordsman Lu Fan!

A battle that countless people are looking forward to!

Looking at the space again, a row of huge seats has already been prepared.

Among them, the two most magnificent dragon chairs sit on the two princes' highnesses.

That's right, two His Highnesses came to watch the battle today. Needless to say, the second prince Qin Fan, the craftsmen of the Juli tribe who came to cast the high platform this year were all recruited by him. They are obviously much more powerful than in previous years. The speed of building the platform can only be described as fast. Seeing the big man of the Juli family knead the huge stones with his hands, they became square and square stones, and then piled them on top of them, everyone kept exclaiming.

The other His Royal Highness, who is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was sent to confinement by His Majesty, unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone today.

Even Qin Fan couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince appearing with Zhang Guang and others, feeling vigilant.

But on the surface, he still respectfully said to His Highness the Crown Prince: "Congratulations, Brother Huang, for leaving the customs. It seems that Brother Huang has made a big breakthrough in Wujing Mountain."

His Royal Highness only glanced at Qin Fan out of the corner of his eye, and then said: "There is no breakthrough. It's just that my father saw my sincerity and allowed me to come out. Is Lu Fan still here? I'm waiting to see his blood sacrifice." It's New Years!"

Qin Fan chuckled and stopped talking, his eyes swept down, trying to find Lu Fan in the crowd.

But after watching for a while, he didn't see Lu Fan at all.

With a restrained smile on his face, Qin Fan murmured: "Lu Fan, Lu Fan, if you lose today, I really want you to die without a place to bury you. I will never send someone to collect your body."

Behind His Royal Highness, Zhang Guang was resting with his eyes closed.

His Royal Highness, turned his head to look at Zhang Guang and said, "Zhang Guang, you must use your full strength in today's battle. With the force of thunder, kill Lu Fan and strengthen my prestige!"

Only then did Zhang Guang open his eyes, and said softly, "Yes, Your Highness."

A cruel smile rose from the corner of His Highness the Crown Prince's mouth. He truly hated Lu Fan.

Under the high platform, the crowd was crowded.

Suddenly someone shouted softly: "Aren't these people from the top ten families? They're all here!"

Slowly, a group of young men walked over slowly. The leader was obviously Tian Qingyang from the Tian family, and beside him, there were children from several other big families.

On the left, Shuijia, Shuishiquan.

Feather fan towel, smiling all over the face. He looks very handsome, with a pretty face, which can be described as handsome. Fair skin, bright eyes, innocent smile, like an underage child.

He is the first son of the Shui family, with Shui Shiquan known as the innocent son.

On the right hand side, Tantai Family, Tantai Ge.

Dressed in red on the floor, with heavy makeup. It was clearly a delicate girl's face, but it abruptly turned into a coquettish woman, with a bit of contempt at the corner of her mouth, and crisp sounds could be heard when her waist was twisted. That was the sound of the silver bell around her waist.

She is the eldest lady of the Tantai family, Feng Wu in red, Tantai Ge.

The three came together, and the crowd immediately parted ways to let the three pass.

In the sky, His Royal Highness also saw the three of them, frowned and said, "The elite children of the top ten families, haven't they all retreated together? Why are they all out?"

Zhang Guang looked at these people with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "That's the time to leave the customs. Your Highness, after today's battle, please allow me to challenge these people."

His Royal Highness frowned and said, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Guang shook his head and said, "No. But I have the heart of a warrior."

His Royal Highness waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, do as you please. Forgive that they don't dare to do anything to you, you can challenge as you like."

"Thank you Your Highness!"

Zhang Guang's face was flushed, and he looked very excited.

In his opinion, these people should be his opponents. As for Lu Fan, he has long since forgotten him.

A carriage slowly stopped at the city gate.

Thirteen turned to the middle of the carriage and said, "Master, we're here!"

Lifting the curtain of the car, Lu Fan walked out slowly, looked at the high platform that was about to be built in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's very grand."

While speaking, Lu Fan put Xiao Hei on his shoulder into Shisan's hand, and said, "Take care of Xiao Hei."

Thirteen heavy nods.

"Lu Fan is here!"

I don't know who suddenly recognized Lu Fan, and immediately everyone shouted.

Lu Fan stood on the carriage with his hands behind his back, looking up into the distance.

His Royal Highness and others all cast their eyes on Lu Fan.

And at this moment, the craftsmen of the Juli clan finished building the last giant stone, and then beat their chests and let out a cry.

"Get on stage, sacrifice!"
