Usually it is quiet and empty, but tonight the seats are full.

When Li Tong entered the banquet, most of the people at the banquet had already arrived, and the officials and wives who were still waiting to be seated were entering the banquet in turn. On the square open space of His Royal Highness Qingluan, the singers and dancers of the Shuo Wangfu set up music and danced. During the banquet, there was a scene of joy and prosperity everywhere.

Li Yan sat on the left hand is Ji Shifu, then Jing Shihou, according to the ranks, the first to sit on the right hand is Loulan's envoy Sun Damu, followed by Zhao Lao, Chen Gong and others, the other messengers are far away, and the farthest is the wife and her officials' families.

When the banquet was full, the master of ceremonies said angrily: "Open the banquet."

During the banquet, after everyone bowed three times and bowed nine times to Li Di, Li Di said with a smile to Sun Damu: "Today's Sun Envoy can be described as a great blessing, and today's performance is what my Ji Waiter and Jing Waiter have been preparing for many days, and it must be something that Sun Envoy has never seen before."

"Oh~ It's really worrying about the nobles, and I'm looking forward to tonight's performance." Sun Damu looked overjoyed, and smiled at Ji Shifu and Jing Shihou opposite.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the open space in all directions, and they saw a pyre piled up in the center of the clearing, and on the pyre was an iron bucket several zhang wide, and the iron bucket was full of liquid, but it was nothing.

The people in the audience looked at Li Yan suspiciously, and Li Yan immediately looked at the nearest Ji waiter.

Waiter Ji looked at Waiter Jing with a somewhat faceless face, so everyone under His Royal Highness Qingluan stared at Waiter Jing with two big hole-like eyes.

Jing Shihou didn't explain for the time being, took off his robe, and walked to the position ten meters away from the iron bucket.

Nie Yuankun stepped forward with a glass tray in his hand, and a beautifully shaped bow and arrow lay in the tray.

Marquis Jing picked up the bow with his left hand and placed the arrow on the bow with his right hand. At this time, Li Yan noticed that the arrow was slightly different from the usual arrow, the arrow did not have a sharp hook, and the shape of the arrow was oval.

Nie Yuankun took out the fire fold and lit the arrow.

Hearing only the sound of "whoosh", the fiery arrow pierced through the darkness and rushed straight to the iron bucket ten meters away, and in an instant, the iron bucket burst out one by one huge sparks, reflecting the expressions of everyone around him clearly.

The moment the sparks bloomed, a dense wave of hot air rushed towards the nearest Jing Shihou, and Jing Shihou's extremely simple robe suddenly gave birth to a bit of elegant dust, and the face that could not be ignored looked resolute and independent against the red light.

For a moment, Li Di opened his mouth slightly in shock, but he didn't know if it was for the huge fire, or for the person who was independent at that moment.

It turned out that the barrel was filled with tung oil.

After the iron bucket burned, every corner of the Qingluan Hall was illuminated as if it were day, and everyone's face was red.

But at this moment, two rows of singers dressed in flame-like costumes poured out of the two aisles, each holding a musical instrument in their hands. They sang and danced around the fire, sometimes singing enthusiastically, like a graceful flame that was burning.

When the young woman saw this, she was reluctant to stagger her eyes, let alone mention the men, and her eyes never blinked when the sound of self-music sounded.

Li Tong was quite surprised, this kind of dance not only blends the softness and subtlety of the Han people, but also combines the enthusiasm and boldness of the ethnic minorities, which should not be available at this time. The singers and dancers of the Shuo Palace, but she has also summoned all those who are outstanding, but she has never seen this.

The music gradually subsided, the young singers retreated one by one, the drums sounded, Li Tong looked around, and it turned out that the big drums with a height of adults were lined up on the periphery of the open space.

The sound of the drum gradually became denser and louder, and just when Li Yan's attention was attracted by the dancing beauty on the drum, he saw a sturdy man suddenly burst out of the flames, and he was startled.

Li Di really thought that he had been hiding in the fire all along, until he saw them running through the fire, and he was still a little regretful. She carefully watched the reactions of the people around her, Ji Shifu's eyes were not on the performance at all, Jing Shihou was not salty and not light, Sun Damu was watching with great interest, Zhao Lao's spirit among the four pavilion elders was particularly good, and the wives who were far away were also very rare This acrobatic performance.

It seems that only Li Yan is not interested, just because she has seen too many high-level acrobatics in modern times, and she is not interested in this.

The next few scenes of Li Di's grinning cheers were actually not interesting.

The things that should be talked about were also discussed, and the things that should be eaten were also eaten, so Li Yan was the first to want to retreat. She didn't think to hide this mood, so she simply brought it out on her face.

Jing Shihou had been paying attention to her reaction secretly, and when he saw that she was showing her intentions, he immediately ordered Nie Yuankun to prepare the finale.

Suddenly a group of attendants came to the clearing, all carrying buckets full of water, and soon the flames that surged into the sky were poured and extinguished.

The light returned to its original half-light and half-darkness, and when the feast was held, the sky was not completely dark, so the lanterns were lit less, and when the oil drums were lit later, there was no need to light the lamps. So at this time, as soon as the fire barrel was extinguished, only a few lamps were burning behind Li Di and on the side of the aisle.

Li Di, who was about to get up, sat down again when he saw this posture.

The people who were still exclaiming were instantly appeased after seeing that the emperor had no reaction, and the original bustle of Qingluan Hall was gone, and it was extremely quiet at this time.

In the darkness that he looked around blankly but couldn't see, a faint soft and moist light rose, and a very faint figure appeared in the place where the iron bucket was originally placed.
