Chapter 13: The Banquet Changes
As the saying goes, spring flowers, autumn moon nights. Such an autumn night, the cool wind, and the moon buds on the dark sky, are stunningly beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful. Such an autumn night, with the fairy song and man dance, is really enjoyable.
At this time, the county mansion is singing and dancing like this, so it is not lively. The banquet is set on the open space, the grass is green, everyone sits separately, pushes the cup and changes the lamp, and does not forget to appreciate the moon, sing and dance, and of course, appreciate the beauty.
Of course, the above scenarios are all self-righteousness of the county. Because above the banquet, except for the county Cheng and some of his subordinates, no one seemed to pay attention to such a beautiful scenery.
Li Xing sat at the table in the corner, looking at the delicacies that were constantly served by the maidservants, and was feasting on them. At this time, although the food was not as delicate as it is in modern times, it was natural and pollution-free, and besides, she was very hungry now.
As soon as Liu Qida entered the table, his eyes never left Li Xing. Liu Qi felt that Li Xing was particularly cute at this time. Her impatient eyes, the gobbling movements, fell into his eyes, and they all became interesting. I vaguely remember that when I first saw her, I only felt that she was sharp and unreasonable, and she was justified by her. Bowing his head and sighing silently, Liu Qi shook his head, a little funny, when did he pay so much attention to a woman? Obviously, it's just a nodding acquaintance who has met a few times, but it feels good.
Compared with Liu Qi's changing expression, Liu Si's face has an expression from beginning to end. At this moment, he frowned, looked at the food on the table, and then glanced at the singing and dancing in the center, he knew in his heart that an ordinary county magistrate could actually enjoy it so much, among which the doorway and officialdom **, he remembered them all in his heart. After that, his gaze fell on Liu Qi's face again, and that contemplative look made his brows furrow even tighter. Finally, following Liu Qi's gaze, he looked at the woman in the corner. For some reason, although she was a little rude, it didn't affect her beautiful face at all, but it was very harmonious. Thinking of this, Liu Si stopped his thoughts and secretly scolded himself for having such an idea! Then, his face darkened, his star-like eyes deepened and bottomless, and the air around him became a little colder.
In the court, the singer's voice was like heaven, and the dancer was dancing hard, but except for the county Cheng, who was enjoying himself, the rest of the people were not interested. Not to mention the previous few people, just talk about Qin Jin and Zhixiu, one of them is very arrogant, does not understand poetry, and does not know what it is; And the other one, a paralyzed ice cube face, coldly makes people want to stay away from him.
The county is over forty years old, but he is stupid, otherwise he would not have looked at the expressions of the people present. After the song, he pouted his beard and spoke to the head of the cultivator, and said: "Yin Gongzi came here with his friends to play, and came to my county Chengfu Ya, the house is really full of splendor!" ”
Because the county official only knew the identity of the deacon and thought that other people were just his friends, so this county cheng only talked to the deacon and didn't pay much attention to the rest of the people, so these words naturally spoke to the deacon. If this county is a little smarter, you can find that the rest of the people are also extravagant and extravagant, not to mention, this person is divided into groups, and the friends who practice cultivation, where can they be missing? It can be seen that there is a reason why this county has not been promoted for so many years.
Let's say that this dedication, whose real name is Yin Feng, is the word, is the eldest grandson of Xuan'en Hou Yinlu, the founder of the dynasty, and his aunt is the current queen, and his father is also in an important position in the court.
The deacon was still spreading his face with ice cubes, and his tone was cold: "Don't dare to be!" ”
The cold words of the executive made the county Cheng a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and seemed to be choked by the wine, and then spoke: "Yin Gongzi is polite, polite!" ”
The deacon nodded lightly, didn't want to say more, only raised his hand, and drank all the wine in the bottle.
Seeing this, the county couldn't find anything to say, let alone find a word to ask the deacon to say a few words in front of Xuan'en Hou and other big figures, so he had to laugh.
There was a sudden silence at the table. Li Xing felt strange and looked up from the feast, wanting to see what was happening. Who knows, with their eyes together, they looked at Liu Qi's eyes that he didn't have time to retract, and then saw that his face was flushed. Li Xing felt strange, he was really hungry to eat faster, well, in ancient times, it was rude, but she was ashamed, what is the blushing of Liu Qi, a big man? Li Xing thought about it, and he didn't look away, seeing that Liu Qi's face was even redder, and it became more and more unnatural.
Liu Qi felt that he was so embarrassed and embarrassed that he was like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered. Thinking of this, he quickly changed the topic and spoke to the county robber: "Lord the county officer, I don't know how you did the black-clothed robber?" ”
It turned out that it was inconvenient for him to identify himself, so he only handed over the black-clothed boss to the county man, saying that he was a thief he met on the road.
This question was abrupt, it was because Liu Qi wanted to relieve the embarrassment that he asked this nonsense, but who knew that he really asked a point.
I saw that the county was stumbling for a long time, and I didn't say why.
This time, everyone had doubts in their hearts, feeling that this county seemed to be hiding something. Liu Si gave the practitioner a look, and the practitioner immediately understood, and said coldly: "Say!" Where is the man in black now? ”
The county was startled, and knelt down and kowtowed, and even spoke smoothly: "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned, that person was ransomed by his subordinates with money!" ”
"What!" This time, the ice cube showed anger on his face. Then, everyone saw a leg kicked hard at the stomach of the county cheng, and then heard a miserable scream from the county cheng. Poor county man, one moment ago, he was still thinking about how to curry favor with the executive and how to be promoted, but the next moment, he felt that his official position was not guaranteed or secondary, and whether his life could be saved was the key!
In fact, in the final analysis, it was still the county that saw that people were taking money to ransom people, and they felt that the deacon was not like a person who was scheming with thieves, so he let him go. God knows, even if he borrowed hundreds of dares, he wouldn't dare to associate this person with the person who wanted to murder the current prince!
That's right, Liu Qimingcang, the word Yuanxi, is the seventh son of the current emperor and the second son of the queen, who was favored at birth and was named the king of Dongping.
And Liu Simingzhuang, whose name is Zili, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. He went out of the palace this time, called to visit the people, but he was actually picking up his compatriots and brothers.
Speaking of going back to the county government, the county lord at this time was holding his stomach and wailing on the ground. The person who just came out of the foot was none other than Qin Jin, the reckless man. At the beginning, if it hadn't been for Mr. Ariga's action, I'm afraid they would all have died at the hands of that group of people! Now, this county Cheng actually let people go so lightly for some money, how can he not be angry? ! Thinking of this, Qin Jin made up a few more kicks.
But just when everyone was about to ask the county man in black about his whereabouts, they heard a commotion in the backyard, and someone shouted: "Go to the water!" Come on! It's on fire, it's on fire! ”
Everyone was shocked, and then saw a small guy hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that the adults of his family were lying on the ground groaning in pain, and secretly said that it was not good. He knew that the adults were all nobles, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he hurriedly helped the county up: "My lord, it's not good, it's on fire!" ”
Liu Si, no, Liu Zhuang was the first to react, glanced at the county Cheng, and ordered everyone: "Withdraw!" ”
In his opinion, it is very likely that this fire was set by the men in black, and the current situation is unknown, so he can only leave the place first.
