Every year on New Year's Eve, Ting Yuan Platform would become the center of the entire capital. Many famous actors and courtesans from across the country all wished to come up to contribute at least one song, countless people formed into a vast crowd under the platform to watch, and the sight-seeing platform of Yunmeng Grand View was also packed with various high-class officials and nobilities.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, twenty 'Red Kites' would be taking off.

The working mechanism of the Red Kite was similar to that of the Giant Kite, the only difference between them was that the sheer name of the Giant Kite was enough to make the barbarians tremble in fear, while the Red Kite was solely used for entertainment.

It was a type of ship, with two fiery red koi fishes engraved on both ends, which could take off to the sky using eighty-one flaming wings. The body of the ship was secured on the platform using a special type of rope that was translucent, resembling a spider web.

When the flaming wings were ignited, more than twenty Red Kites as radiant as red kois would be steadily hoisted into the air, looking extremely beautiful as they swayed slightly.

The view from the Kite was excellent. There were sets of elegant rooms and a circle of terraces. Drinks and food were carried along the cobweb-like ropes, and the people on board could see the red palace walls and countless lanterns lit up from the capital below.

Gu Yun led the three children up from the small path next to the platform. The guard was shocked as he recognized him right away, and he was about to bow down to pay respect when Gu Yun stopped him: "There is no need for such formality, I'm only taking the children here to play – have you seen General Shen?"

A waiter ran up to him from far away: "Marquis sir, please, this way, General Shen is waiting for you on the Red Kite."

Gu Yun nodded calmly, but he couldn't help but feel quite impressed on the inside - he actually only brought Chang Geng here to join in on the fun, he completely did not expect Shen Yi to be so incredible that he actually managed to successfully order a Kite.

Ge Pang Xiao stared at the Red Kite in front of them, then followed after Gu Yun and asked: "Marquis sir, are we going to Heaven?"

Gu Yun: "No need to rush, we will after a few decades. Today we will only step on it for a while."

Chang Geng listened to the fortune-filled dialogue of these two people on the night of New Year's celebration, truly wishing to simply seal their mouths shut.

In the chamber on the Red Kite, the temperature was as warm as springtime. As Gu Yun entered, he untied the cloak and put it on the back of the chair.
