When the golden crow fell west and the earth was shrouded in the night, Jiangling City "live".

On New Year’s Eve, according to traditional customs, people should stay at home and watch at night.

But under the publicity of governments and newspapers, many people took to the streets.

The Liushemen Constable and the Ming Wu Army, who had already received the order, began to guide the people to the nearest square.

The square outside the palace is now gathering people from all directions.

A huge stage was built before the Meridian Gate of the Palace.

On the palace tower, Emperor Ji Yuan and King Wu Li Yu are both here.

Around the people who went out to the royal family and the royal palace, there were also many officials from the imperial palace.

On the other three sides of the stage, a close-view building was also built for people to use.

"Li Aiqing, how many people are there outside?"

Ji Yuan stood on the city wall, looking down and saw dense crowds of people.

He looked shocked and had never seen so many people.

"Report to the emperor, there are about 50,000 people below."

Beside Li Yu, Li Yan stepped forward and whispered a few words, and the former immediately bowed his hand to respond.

"More than fifty thousand people!"

Everyone present took a breath when they heard this number.

If there is any accident, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster tonight.

"Your dear friends gathered so many people, so you must maintain order and not suffer casualties."

Ji Yuan felt a deep worry in his heart and told him.

"Don't worry, the people below are divided into many areas, each with constables and soldiers on duty."

Li Yu dared to call so many people together, so he naturally responded. "If any accident occurs during this period, the constable and the soldiers can handle it as soon as possible, and it is necessary to ensure the order of the scene and the safety of the people."

Ji Yuan naturally trusted Li Yu's ability very much. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, "Your dear, just be prepared, then I will wait to see the surprise you prepared next."

Li Yu found him a few days ago and said he had prepared a surprise for him.

It just needs to use the square outside the Meridian Gate of the Palace.

Ji Yuan was still excited for a while and really thought the other party was preparing for him.

As a result, it was not until today that he suddenly realized.

What surprises are specially prepared for me, right?

Ji Yuan felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it, and returned to the dragon throne in a depressed state.

The queen next to her noticed that the emperor was in a bad mood and came forward to care considerately, which made the latter feel much better.

Li Yu also noticed that Ji Yuan was in a wrong mood and guessed a little bit of the reason in his heart.

But he couldn't explain anything.

After all, he did lend the other party a surprise name and did what he wanted to do.

But if he wants to use the square in front of the palace, he will never talk to the other party.

Since he wants to say it, he can't say it's for himself, he can only choose good things to say.

In order not to embarrass the other party, Li Yu panicked, and then waited until the other party found the problem and his mood plummeted.

Can this be entirely blamed by Li Yu?

Anyway, this kind of thing is unclear at all, and the more you talk about it, the more chaotic it becomes, the bigger the misunderstanding.

It would be better not to explain and let things end here and give both parties a decent attitude.

"The time for the king is here."

While Li Yu was thinking, Chu Xian suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few times.

"Yeah, let's start."

Li Yu nodded and returned to his seat.

Chu Xian stood on the city wall, his face full of red light at this moment, and his whole body was full of strength, and the sound spread throughout the audience.

"According to the emperor's imperial edict and the order of King Wu, the New Year's Eve ceremony begins!"

...

Jiangling South City, some open space.

The place was full of people. At this moment, they looked puzzled and looked around.

The government said that there are free plays to watch here.

But when they arrived, except for the increasing number of people around them, they did not see any shadow of the opera troupe.

"Hey! Are you thinking that the government is lying to us?"

"No, it's all written in this newspaper. You can't say that King Wu lied to us, too."

"That's true! But I haven't seen a single actor here. The government asked us to watch the show, what a ghost!"

"Hiss! You said this, it's really possible. The show that the government said was not a ghost playing it!"

In the crowd, the more people chatted, the colder they felt behind their backs, and finally they were scared to shut up.

Just then, a sound suddenly rang.

"According to the emperor's imperial edict and the order of King Wu, the New Year's Eve ceremony begins!"

"Ghost!!"

The sudden sound directly scared some people and screamed in horror.

The movement here soon attracted the attention of the surrounding patrol and constables.

"Be quiet!"

The person who was shouting just now was scolded and his face looked a little embarrassed.

But the next moment, he looked ahead in horror, stretched out his fingers excitedly, his mouth trembled constantly, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

"quick……"

"Look ahead!"

The man was stumbling for a long time, but when he finally said something, he was interrupted by a loud voice not far away.

The loud sound directly attracted the attention of people around you, and they looked at it one after another.

Then, everyone's expressions became extremely shocked.

In the void ahead of everyone, a huge light curtain appeared.

In the center of the light curtain is a huge stage, and someone is introducing the following song performance.

"Is this a shadow puppet?"

"You are blind, there are living people inside, and they don't look like shadow puppets!"

"I seem to have seen this place before, right in front of the palace gate!"

"Yes, yes, I remembered it too! That's where!"

"Look, is there a palace behind the stage? It seems that there is still someone on it!!"

The sudden image appeared in the field, as if a bomb had been thrown into the water, detonating the entire venue.

The people who were originally drowsy were instantly resurrected with blood and discussed the image nervously and excitedly.

It is impossible for you to say that they are not afraid.

But when they saw the surrounding constables and soldiers still calm, they felt confident and curious enough to suppress the unknown fear.

In the image, a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance and a green dress talks calmly.

His voice rang out between the scene through some kind of voice transmitter.

"I believe that at this time, many people must have seen me everywhere."

"Then everyone must be curious about who I am, where and what I am doing?"

"I am named Pang Yong, and now I am serving in the sacrificial hall under King Wu. This is the stage in front of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace in Jiangling City, and the first New Year's Eve ceremony in China is underway."

In the image, Pang Yong is calm, clear in his words and a friendly temperament, which makes many people have a preliminary impression of the New Year's Eve ceremony.

This scene was constantly spread throughout Jingzhou through the magical tools of Qishi Mansion and the Yinsi Divine Realm.

Let countless people have fun with the people of Jiangling.

"That's Master Pang, why did he become the host?!"

Outside the main venue of the Palace Festival, on the second floor of a viewing building next to it, Dongfang Yu stood up in shock when he saw the scene above the stage.
