Chapter 443 Tonight's Moon Is Really Full (2)(2/2)

Of course, the performance of this great nobleman of the Song Dynasty did not have the slightest impact on everything that happened by the Cai River.

Soon after, the people of the city were standing on both sides of the Cai River.

After praying murmuringly, they put the various lanterns in their hands into the river one by one, and let them float along the river.

They sent their blessings, expectations, advice, etc. to Grandpa Hu and others on Chubing Mountain in this way.

For a moment, it seemed that the entire Cai River was filled with lanterns of various styles; looking at it from a distance, it was as if the stars in the sky had fallen into the city of Kaifeng.

During such a process, no one spoke, including the hundreds of Imperial City soldiers who were stranded in front of the Northeast Water Gate.

But there was a calm smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time since Jin Bing's arrival.

Just watch silently as the mother and daughter appeared first, put down the lotus-shaped lantern, floated out of the iron fence along the river, and left the city.

Then, lanterns appeared on the river like a galaxy.

With the love, hate, blessings and other emotions of tens of thousands of people in Kaifeng City, more and more people floated out of the city one by one.

To be honest! At this moment, Mr. Ma Kuo's eyes became moist again.

However, this was just the beginning, and things that made him unable to hold back were still to come.

To put it bluntly, this thirty-year-old man has never cried so frequently since he became sensible.

Because soon after, bursts of shouts and gongs and drums reached his ears.

These are not the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty in the city, they have already come to suppress them.

Instead, there was a sound of "It's leaked" and "The ships of the capital navy have been set on fire~", it seemed that something was wrong with the serious problem in their hearts.

After reacting, Ma Kuo quickly came to the roof and looked in the direction of Jin Mingchi.

Although the Dongcheng area where they were located was still far away from Jin Mingchi, there were soaring flames burning in that direction, illuminating almost half of Kaifeng City.

Apart from the entire capital navy being set on fire, there are other possibilities.

As for the people who would take action, except for those men in the capital's navy whose blood has not yet run cold, we can say that they are not the second choice.

Thinking of the scene where a group of hot-blooded men risked their lives to set the capital navy on fire because they didn't want their brothers to fight against each other, Ma Kuo was so excited that his whole body trembled.

As a result, at this moment, the brother dressed as a government servant walked up behind him.

He clasped his hands and said: "Brother, take the lead, the hour of Zi Shi has come. It seems that even if you can sail out of the city, you will not be able to cross the Jinren's iron rope across the river.

But so what? Good men like me will never watch Grandpa Hu and others die in battle.

Even if we swim there, we have to swim to Chubing Mountain to fight side by side with Grandpa Hu and others; just like they sang, we don’t rely on the fairy emperor, we rely on ourselves~"

After saying that, he arched his hands behind his back and left decisively.

In the following time, Ma Kuo stood on the rooftop and watched under the eyes of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Cai River.

There were more than 300 men in various costumes, carrying a large package behind their backs, holding wood, bathtubs, and even carved toilets in their left hands, and holding swords in their right hands and headed toward the Northeast Water Gate.

Fortunately, they didn't have to fight. Someone among the defenders shouted.

Not only did no one stop them, but they gave way to the passage, and many people worked together to twist the turntable, causing the iron gate to slowly rise.

After the officer rushed to the door, he jumped into the cold river with a piece of wood in his arms.

In the following time, the sound of "dong dong~" falling into the water was heard endlessly, and not only the more than 300 men who had been prepared jumped into the Cai River one after another.

More than thirty soldiers from the Imperial City Division and more than two hundred men on both sides of the river also jumped into the river one after another.

Following the lanterns that were like sparks, they floated out of the city along the river.

At the same time, a childish voice suddenly came from the shore, taking the lead in singing a strange song I learned from Chubing Mountain:

"Get up, slaves who are hungry and cold, get up and plant flowers and suffer all kinds of people... There has never been any great sage, nor does it rely on immortal emperors..."

Soon after, such singing became a chorus and resounded throughout the entire city of Kaifeng.

One second later, Song Huizong, who was still furious because of the fire in the navy in the capital, and the princes of the imperial court, the next second turned pale in fear.

They discovered that the singing contained a power that was extremely unfamiliar to them and extremely terrifying.

Everything that happened on the night of the Lantern Festival in the second year of Jingkang's reign was something that not only Ma Kuo would ever forget.

How could the many soldiers and civilians in the city, as well as the hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers outside the city, Hu Biao and others on Chubing Mountain forget what happened on this night when the moon seemed to be particularly round.

Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, wanted to prove the effectiveness of his method.

That night, I personally sat in the upper reaches of the Cai River and saw countless Song people carrying logs coming out of the city amid the starry lanterns, drifting towards the doomed useless iron rope across the river.

In a fit of great fear, he shouted crazily: "Shoot arrows, throw stones, and kill these Song people!"

Even during this process, he personally held a gold-painted bow and arrow and fired it at the Song people in the river.

But for some unknown reason, he, who claimed to be able to hunt wild wolves at the age of nine, was so soft-handed at this moment that he didn't even know where the arrow he shot went.

Ten minutes later, college student Corn with red eyes jumped into the water amidst Hu Biao's roar.

After dragging a man dressed as a government servant who had been hit by many arrows from the water to the shore, he was ready to pick him up and rush to the tunnel on the reverse slope for treatment.

Unexpectedly, the man showed an ugly smile to him.

While stretching his hands into his arms, he said:

"I don't know how to call this grandpa. The villain is called Lin Ping'an. He is a government servant in Kaifeng City and a subordinate of Liu An and Liu Tou.

That day when you were robbing people, it was the villain escorting Liu Tou. We have seen him once.

It's a pity that I hesitated for a moment that day and couldn't follow you up the mountain; but it doesn't matter, I happened to be able to bring some "floating gardens" with me this time.

My mother has told me since she was a child, how can I not eat ‘Fuyuanzi’ during the Lantern Festival~”

Having said this, Lin Ping'an, who was holding his last breath, was not dead, but he couldn't even take out the things in his arms.

In the expectant eyes of the other party, Corn reached in and helped take out a small bag.

After opening it, you can find that there are a few raw glutinous rice balls that have been soaked in the river water and stained with a lot of blood, so that they have long been out of shape.

In the following time, when he put a piece of corn into his mouth with his hand and swallowed it with difficulty, Lin Ping'an closed his eyes with joy.

But Corn, a junior, was in tears...
