Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Alien Dancing Queen
escaped from Jinzhou City, and the two felt that Emperor An had stepped up the search for people, and there were inevitably traces to follow, so they changed their clothes again.
This time, Luo Jia put a lot of thought into makeup, not only did he turn into a gray-haired forty-year-old man, but even Tilian was smeared with a palm-sized black and red birthmark on his left face, and he didn't know what kind of potion it was, and he couldn't wash it off.
Such a pair of 'grandchildren' makes people want to take a second look after one look.
It was precisely because of this transfiguration technique of 'turning magic into decay' that the two of them were able to reach Jizhou City in Beiguan all the way.
Renting a simple house, Tillian regained her original youthful appearance, while Luo Jia still pretended to be a forty-year-old man.
"Beiguan is far away from the capital, and there are not a few people in the rivers and lakes here, although they have not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years, but they are still in case they are recognized." Brushing his goatee, Luo Jia leaned against the dilapidated kitchen door and sighed.
Tillian laughed when she heard this, and while flipping through the dishes in the wok, she turned back to him and asked, "How much life debt did you owe back then?" ”
Hearing this, Luo Jia rolled his eyes and looked at the sky and counted his fingers, then paced forward to look at the dishes in the pot, and said casually, "I can't count." Seeing that she was about to put the dishes on the plate, she hurriedly handed the plate over.
Luo Jia, who watched Tilian's skillful movements and the dishes with good color and aroma, smacked his tongue for a while, holding the freshly served mushroom chicken, reached out and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, the taste in his mouth couldn't help but make him squint, and he chirped to see Tilian go to fry the vegetables again.
"Did the Prime Minister ever fall to the point where he needed his daughter to cook?"
Tillian sneered, "Thank you for your concern, Daddy has been the prime minister for decades, and the house has never been poor." ”
Luo Jia circled around her with a curious expression, looking up and down carefully, "You're Jiang Dilian, right?" ”
Tilian was speechless, squinting at him with one hand on her waist, "You'd better keep your mouth shut about cooking for you, otherwise Zixu will know." ”
Shrinking his neck, Luo Jia raised three fingers, "Don't worry." ”
Nodding with satisfaction, when the two of them were sitting at the table in the room, Di Lianfang asked, "How are you inquiring?" ”
Luo Jia struggled to pick up the rice in his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Good news, the army will be able to reach Jizhou City in five or six days; The bad news is that Li Qi, the son of Xuanbo Hou, was sent as an envoy. ”
With a frown in her eyebrows, Tilian muttered, "Xuanbo Hou Shizi, Li Qi?" ”
This person was originally born in a reckless background, since the Li family was enshrined in Beijing, Li Qi has been friends with many princes in the capital, and he is very popular with long-sleeved dancing, plus his age, martial arts and temperament are similar to Xie Hengxu, and the people of Beijing like to put the two together.
This time, Emperor An sent him to supervise the army, in addition to looking for her, the biggest reason is probably that he has ulterior motives to want Li Qi to do something, Emperor An wants to support the Li family to take the throne, and he will inevitably take this opportunity to seal Li Qi, so that he can really compete with Xie Hengxu.
On the fourth day of June in the second year of Qianhua, 100,000 Xie troops arrived at Beiguan and stationed in the town.
On the second day, Luo Jia went out to inquire about the news, and Tilian waited until noon before he returned, and hurriedly greeted him in the courtyard, "How is it?" Have you seen Zixu? ”
With white eyebrows frowning slightly, Luo Jia shook his head, "I went into the General's Mansion and found Xie Hengxu's courtyard, but I found that Li Qi was also there, and I waited outside the mansion all morning, and Li Qi also followed when Xie Hengxu went out. I had to come back first. He handed her the burden in his hand
Tilian lowered her eyes and whispered, "Of course Li Qi will follow him every step of the way." He took the burden and looked up at him, "What is this?" ”
Luo Jia hooked his lips, "In order to catch the wind for General Xie, Yuan Bo, the former resident general of the Jizhou General's Mansion, held a singing and dancing banquet in the mansion to invite all the generals in the Xie family's army. ”
When Tillian opened the baggage, she saw that there was a set of interracial skirts with red veil, with a vermilion gauze mask, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she punched Luo Jia.
Touching the slightly aching chest that was beaten by her, Luo Jia bared his teeth and smiled, "Most of the prostitutes in the Goolan Courtyard in Beiguan are of different races, although your dress is too amorous, but no one will be suspicious when you mix in the singing and dancing girls, it depends on whether Xie Hengxu can recognize you." ”
There are Di people outside the Guan, Persians, Nanmiao people, although their customs are different, but the clothes are similar, the North Guan Goolan Courtyard is also the majority of foreign women, with the Persians are the best at singing and dancing temperament open, they always cover their faces with tulle mysterious and charming, the magnates of Jizhou City like to invite the Persian dancing girl when they feast in the house.
At night, when the general's mansion was brightly lit and silk and bamboo lingered, Luo Jia took Tilian into the courtyard wall, avoiding the guards patrolling the mansion and coming to the outside of the banquet hall.
The hiding place of the two is behind the rockery in the northwest corner of the hall, and through the gap of guò, you can see the swaying lights and red yarn in the hall, singing and dancing and leveling, because it is far away that it is impossible to see who is present, but it can be seen that it is Xie Hengxu who is crooked in the ground couch chair above the upper seat.
Seeing that he was at ease, Luo Jia couldn't help but turn blue, "This guy is full of enjoyment." After that, he looked back at Tillian beside him, "You better go back with me, let him be merry and happy." ”
Under the moonlight, the vermilion long sara skirt lined her complexion with a white and delicate posture, the black silk was scattered and her forehead was adorned with a large gem of pigeon's blood, her jade arms and slender waist were exposed under the prying eyes of the moonlight, and the long hazy red veil on her face added a bit of mystery and charm.
Luo Jia couldn't help rolling in his throat and gently pressed his chest.
"Thousands of miles have chased him, will I still be separated from him if it is so close?" , Di Lian Qingyu, oblique flying bewitching eyebrows and the corners of her eyes are shallow, "Luo Jia, thank you." ”
With bitterness in his mouth, Luo Jia lowered his eyelids and waved his hand absently, "That's it." After the feast, according to the custom, these dancing girls will be distributed to everyone's room, and everyone is here, so I will send you there first. ”
It was late at night after the banquet, Xie Hengxu was pacing slowly in the cool night breeze of Beiguan, and Li Qi, who was wearing a Danzi military uniform, followed him quietly.
The two originally lived next to each other, Xie Hengxu's 'Lingyun Pavilion' and Li Qi's 'Hong Hexuan' across the lake.
At the corner of the corridor, Xie Hengxu turned his head with a smile, "The prince still wants a cup of tea?" ”
Li Qi's clear eyebrows moved slightly, and he bowed and said, "It's late at night today, and Li Qi will go to the 'Lingyun Pavilion' tomorrow to disturb the general." ”
The phoenix's eyes were clear, Xie Hengxu hooked his lips and jaw, and walked to the end of the corridor first, Li Qi stood in place and watched him enter the door, before turning around and going to the 'Hong Hexuan' at the other end.
Pushing the door in, smelling the strange aroma in the house, Xie Hengxu's phoenix eyes were slightly dark, and he walked in with a cold face, and his eyes touched the enchanting woman with a red sarong body half-lying on the bed, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Get out of here now, and General Ben will spare your life."
The woman on the bed turned her head sideways when she heard this, and slowly got off the bed, her graceful waist was close to Xie Hengxu, and the red candlelight echoed the bewitching red on her body, like the Manzhu Sawa blooming in the night.
Xie Hengxu stared at her with a cold face, only to see that the long eyelashes of this alien girl were slightly raised, and the oblique eyebrows and light blue eyes were all revealing amorous and charming, and she looked like a flower demon who had become a sperm.
"General, the concubine admires the general's heroic and promising military prowess, and I ask the general to take pity on the concubine's infatuation, and let the concubine serve by the general's side."
Hearing the soft words, Xie Hengxu looked stunned, raised his hand to clasp the slender jade wrist that she reached into his neck, the two looked at each other for a moment, the corners of Xie Hengxu's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't laugh, "Lian'er." ”
So you recognize it? It's too boring.
Tilian pursed her lips, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were all coquettish, and she glared at him with a pair of light blue phoenix eyes, "You are so boring!" ”
The raised corners of her lips can't hide the pleasure in her heart, Xie Hengxu hugged her slender waist with one hand, ripped off the tulle on her face with one hand, gently raised her chin and looked at it intently, the face in front of her was fine, the slender eyebrows on the palm-sized little face raised a little bit of charm, the light blue Danfeng eyes were clear and waveless like glass beads, and there was a tear mole under the corner of the left eye, adding a bit of cute Chu Chu style to this charming and enchanting face.
Whoever sees it, will not associate her with Jiang Dilian, the first beauty of the Xia Lan Dynasty, there are clearly two charms and elegance, his lotus is the gloom of blooming Qingyong, and the beauty in front of him is a charming and seductive fire lotus.
Seeing that he was fascinated, Tilian couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, and asked in a clear voice, "Is she beautiful or me beautiful?" ”
Xie Hengxu smiled lowly, and picked her up, "Where did she come from?" ”
Tilian squinted at him until she was put on the edge of the bed, and grabbed Xie Hengxu's collar, "Say, is it Jiang Dilianmei or Persian dancer?" ”
It is rare to see her so unrelenting, Xie Hengxu gently held her plain hand, her phoenix eyes could not hide her smile, and said word by word, "As long as it is Lian'er, no matter what it looks like, it is the most beautiful in the world." After that, he lowered his head and kissed the hand in his palm gently.
Di Lian smiled, withdrew her hand and stroked her cheek, and murmured softly, "Luo Jia said that this potion can last for a month, and you won't see Jiang Dilian for a month." ”
"Lian'er will be by my side every day in the future, why can't I see each other?" , The ape arm stretched out and hugged her into his arms, the phoenix eyes stared at her eyes warmly and quietly, the corners of Xie Hengxu's lips rose, he bowed his head and gently pouted his lips, and whispered softly, "Lian'er, it's great to see you appear in front of me safely." ”
Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, Tillian tilted her head slightly and said, "Is Kyori okay?" Can the Prime Minister and the Xie family be subject to this? ”
Xie Hengxu shook her head and gently took off the jewel chain on her hair, "Emperor An doesn't dare to attack the Xiangfu and the Xie family lightly, you don't have to worry." ”
"What about Starfall? What's going on in Starfall? ”
"The old emperor is critically ill, several princes are still fighting among themselves, and the whole court situation is in chaos."
"Emperor An, don't you have the intention of helping Yu Wenyi ascend the throne?"
"He still wants to wait and see, I'm afraid that he wants to weaken the national strength of Starfall's infighting, and obviously he wants to annex Starfall more than helping Yu Wenyi ascend the throne." At this point, Xie Hengxu's eyes were gloomy.
Tilian frowned, "I expected it a long time ago, but this time you are only allowed to bring 100,000 troops to be stationed in Beiguan, I'm afraid it's a little bad." ”
Thin lips pursed slightly, Xie Hengxu smiled and stroked her cheek, "We have all these things, you don't have to bother." It's just that I still have to wronged you to stay by my side as a dancing girl and insulted Lian'er. His eyebrows furrowed, and his long arms tightened and held her tightly in his arms.
Tillian smiled, "It's good to stay here, you still have to think about how not to arouse Li Qi's suspicion." ”
