Chapter 281: Danger of going to the banquet
♂
On the eighth day of the first month of January, Li Ji's general's mansion banquet was opened, and for a time the guests were full and full. [Full text reading. 】
Yu Wenlie, the Son of Heaven, and Mrs. Li appeared last, and everyone knelt down to greet them.
The General's Mansion invited the most famous singers in Kyoto to sing, and also invited the singer with the best voice and the most graceful dancing girl in Kyoto City, which was eye-catching and lively.
On the stage, there were more than a dozen thin dogs with shiny and black hair and sturdy bodies.
More than a dozen thin dogs jumped and jumped on the stage, and they performed a big drama of dog hunting for everyone.
Chen Xiang, who watched this scene during the banquet, was already so vigilant that his hairs stood on end.
Only then did Wang Chongjing tell Shen Ruxiu with satisfaction, "I asked someone to domesticate these fine dogs and gave them to my brother-in-law." Pretty, right? They are all in excellent condition, intelligent and human......"
"What is the good way to give him a dog?" Shen Ruxiu's face was not happy at all. Her gaze was not on the dozen or so thin dogs, but at Chen Xiang who was sitting in the distance worriedly.
He's afraid of dogs.
She pursed her lips in worry and held her breath. She didn't even know what Wang Chongjing said with a smile.
At this time, Shen Liancheng came.
Her arrival made the guests present freeze their movements.
Who doesn't know that she is the ex-wife who had a falling out with Li Ji some time ago? A woman who Li Ji gritted her teeth with hatred? How dare she come? You know, Li Ji didn't even invite Mrs. Shen today.
He hated one person, and even all the people in the Shen family hated it, and he hated it to the surface. How can she have a face and come uninvited?
How many people watch the excitement, and how many people are not ashamed. Yu Wenlie, the Son of Heaven, was also silent, and Mrs. Li was disgusted and hateful, feeling that she had come to smash the field this time.
Li Ji stared, his eyes cold and surprised.
Present, I'm afraid that only the attention of the two people is not on Shen Liancheng. These two people are Chen Xiang and Shen Ruxiu.
Chen Xiang always looked at the thin dogs on the stage vigilantly like a ghost, as if the next moment those thin dogs would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
Shen Ruxiu looked at him closely, pinched his sleeves tightly for him, and felt distressed.
The two found Shen Liancheng when Shen Liancheng sent a congratulatory gift to Li Ji and congratulated him on his entry into the house.
Chen Xiang was so surprised that he forgot about the fine dog on the stage for a while. What did she come to do?
"Aman, you're a little late." Yu Wenlie, the Son of Heaven, suddenly said loudly, "The wedding banquet has already begun. ”
"Aman is late, Aman punishes himself with three cups." Shen Liancheng replied calmly.
"Good! Get seated. ”
Yu Wenlie has spoken, what else can Li Ji say? With a sigh of breath and puzzlement, he watched Shen Liancheng sit down at the table.
Shen Liancheng deliberately found a distance closer to Chen Xiang and sat down, and then punished himself with three glasses of wine.
"General, these thin dogs of yours look extremely fierce, but I don't know if they are released to bite people?" Yu Wenlie deliberately said this to divert Li Ji's attention.
Li Ji's gaze was withdrawn from Shen Liancheng's body, and he respectfully replied to the question of the Son of Heaven: "The fine dogs obtained by Weichen have been carefully domesticated by people, and they are familiar with human nature, and they will not bite people indiscriminately. ”
"That's good." Yu Wenlie nodded in satisfaction.
"Weichen, these thin dogs are extraordinary, and they can also do things that cannot be done in the same kind." Li Ji glanced at Chen Xiang, suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled maliciously.
"Oh? What can't be done? Yu Wenlie pretended to be very interested.
Li Ji bent down and said: "Everyone knows that dogs can't distinguish colors, but these thin dogs obtained by Weichen are naturally sensitive to color. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, Wechen will let them find out what they are wearing at this banquet now...... Colleagues in dark blue clothes came. ”
Everyone was glancing. At the banquet, there were no more than five guests dressed in navy blue, and one of them was Chen Xiang.
Knowing that Chen Xiang was afraid of dogs, there were no five people present, including Li Ji.
Li Ji deliberately! He wanted Chen Xiang to make a fool of himself in front of the powerful officials in Kyoto.
"Good! Then give it a try. Yu Wenlie was even more interested, "The Lone King would like to see how these beasts can distinguish the dark blue. ”
As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, Shen Ruxiu stood up in fright. I was about to shout "Chen Guogong is afraid of dogs", but he suddenly saw Shen Liancheng's stern eyes, and saw her shaking his head at himself, so he sat back.
However, what does Shen Liancheng mean by being so calm?
Chen Xiang's forehead was already oozing fine sweat.
At this time, the slave Yuhe behind Shen Liancheng quietly walked towards him, handed him a white porcelain bottle, and said in a low voice: "Open the cork, those beasts will not dare to come at you." ”
Chen Xiang took it, although he didn't know what was in the porcelain vase, but when he saw Shen Liancheng's calm face when he looked at it, his heart immediately relaxed.
He was so happy.
It wasn't until this moment that he knew why Shen Liancheng had come.
It turned out that it was for him!
For him, she did not hesitate to be in such an embarrassing place, not afraid of gossip, not afraid of other people's pointing and those strange eyes.
She's for him.
Li Ji's game began. The dogs came off the stage and came to the guests, clearly sniffing the smell and looking for someone who had been "pre-arranged".
They split up and quickly bit into the robes of the man dressed in navy blue. However, when three or five thin dogs came towards Chen Xiang, they sneezed two steps away from him, and then turned around and ran.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Chen Xiang was still scared into a cold sweat. The thin dog left him, and he was still holding the white porcelain vase that Shen Liancheng asked Yuhe to give him.
"It's strange, those few clearly recognize that Chen Guogong is wearing dark blue clothes, but why don't they dare to approach?" There was a discussion among the guests.
Li Ji was also very puzzled, his eyes were slightly narrow, and he was even more secretly annoyed.
Aren't you afraid of dogs? What method did he use this time to make those thin dogs avoid him?
Chen Xiang came back to his senses, only to realize that his middle clothes were soaked with sweat. He stood up and praised, "The general's dog is indeed unusual, and can distinguish colors. Suddenly, the conversation changed, "But the general is not ignorant, I have always been very afraid of dogs." In order to prevent them from getting closer, Plain will always carry this bottle of medicine on his body. ”
He generously showed the white porcelain vase in his hand.
Everyone sighed, but it was not because of the white porcelain vase in Chen Xiang's hand, but because he said that the general knew that he was "very afraid of dogs", but he wanted to let those thin dogs find the guests who were hiding blue clothes present. Isn't this General Li deliberately trying to embarrass him?
These two important ministers in high positions, like the right-hand man of the Son of Heaven, are fighting openly and secretly, and they really have made all kinds of means.
The people who were close could almost be seen, and Li Ji's face was blue and white for a while, and he was embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
