Chapter 169
She nodded behind her, and Qingmei put down the flask in her hand and walked into the room.
"Since the little khan has to compete, let my maid give it a try."
Batu's face sank, and the other party actually sent a maid to fight, obviously despising himself. He looked at Qingmei a few times gloomily, and said with a smile: "My python hasn't been fed for a few days, be careful of being swallowed by it!" ”
Xia Qingyun immediately straightened his face and said coldly: "Little Khan is not going to intimidate." You are here to worship in the country of Qi this time. The emperor was generous and couldn't bear to let the people suffer from the war between the two countries, so he accepted your letter of surrender. On the occasion of the Shangyuan Festival, the family is reunited, thanking you for going out, and inviting you to a feast. ”
She was righteous and stern, and she said loudly, "According to the etiquette, you should follow the customs of the country, but the emperor respects you as guests, and according to the etiquette of the grassland, he serves meat on a silver plate, and allows you to bring a knife into the palace, you are not grateful, but want to take advantage of the opportunity." Saying that they want to compete, and then threatening my maid, can't they afford to lose? ”
The military department Shangshu was the first to applaud, and the Zhenguo Gong and the Huguo Gong raised their thumbs. Not to mention winning or losing, the mere fact that these words came out of the mouth of a weak woman is enough to make people admire her courage.
Batu changed his face and said, "It's useless to talk more, let's make a move." ”
Qingmei nodded to Xia Qingyun, turned around and walked towards the black lacquered wooden box Yingying. The queen worried: "The little girl should not get too close! ”
Qingmei blessed the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, "The little girl can't play the flute, but she urges her with her singing." ”
Standing in front of the wooden box, he cleared his throat, and his lips opened lightly. Singing.
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace?"
With her Qingyue's singing, the python slowly stretched its body and swayed, its body bent into various beautiful shapes in the air, sometimes like a bright moon, sometimes like a lotus flower, not only the people of Qi Guo, but even the three of Suhelak were dumbfounded.
How did they know that Qingmei was the incarnation of a snake spirit. There is also a nine-hole lotus seed protector. Making a python dance is simply easier for her than singing.
The reason why Xia Qingyun didn't stand up at the beginning was because she felt that snake dancing was not a difficult thing.
The snake's hearing is dull, it has no outer and middle ears, only the ear column bone and the inner ear. Unable to receive sound waves from air. But the snake is sensitive to the vibrations of the ground.
When a person walks on a desolate meadow. Hitting the ground with a stick or deliberately increasing the footsteps can scare the snake away, which is the principle that 'beating grass can startle the snake'.
The snake dancer uses the soles of his feet to step rhythmically on the ground. Stimulating the snake to make various defensive or offensive gestures, it is not actually the snake dancing to the music, but the snake dancer blowing different tunes according to the snake's posture.
If Batu were to perform it again, the flute he would play would be different from the one he had just played.
Xia Qingyun originally thought that there must be one of the jugglers in Qi who could dance snakes, so she waited until the last moment to stop the emperor from admitting defeat. Even if Qingmei is not around, she is sure to make the snake dance.
However, since we have the trump card in our hands, we must suppress Suhelek's arrogance, which can be regarded as comforting the souls of the sacrificed soldiers in the sky.
With the beautiful singing voice of the green plum, the python seems to have turned into a beautiful woman, swaying gracefully under the moon.
The corners of Xia Qingyun's mouth hooked up a smile, this is Qingmei's supernatural power, affecting people's senses to produce illusions that seem to be true or not real.
If you want to win, you must win completely, win beautifully, and win the other party's oral convincing!
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles."
After a song, the python's body was like ripples, slowly lying in the wooden box, and there was silence all around.
Suddenly, applause broke out, and exclamations and applause rang out.
The emperor is happy. Qingmei's snake dance is much better than Batu's, so now it's up to them to have something to say.
Su Helek kept a calm face, raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said: "Each wins a game, and the last game is decided!" ”
Everyone's hearts hung again, and they didn't know what they were going to do this time.
Toya and Batu have already played the game, could it be that Suhelek will perform in person in the tiebreaker? Everyone's hearts hung again, and they didn't know what they would do this time.
Batu waved his hand, and there was a rumbling sound from far and near, and two huge cages were pushed into the middle of the field. The cage was surrounded by black cloth on all sides, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
While everyone was speculating, Toya stood up and walked to the cage, and with a hard tug of the rope with both hands, the black cloth slid down, revealing a lion and a tiger.
Stimulated by the light, the lion shook its maned head and let out an earth-shattering roar. Not to be outdone, the other colorful tiger in the cage responded with a roar.
The queen mother and the queen were so frightened by the sudden roar that their faces turned pale, and the palace maids on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to help, stroked their chests and backs, and handed over ginseng soup to suppress their shock.
Mrs. Zhenguo was also startled, and grabbed Xia Qingyun's hand tightly. Xia Qingyun couldn't help frowning, come on, why make such a big move, if you scare your mother, I'll let Xue'er make you a barbecue as game!
"This game is better than taming beasts!" Toya said as she opened the cage.
"Escort!" The Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Protector shouted in unison. The guards with knives swarmed up and surrounded the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother.
"Hahaha!" Toya smiled and bent over, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" She raised the chain she was holding in her hand, and the other end of the chain was firmly tied between the lion and tiger's neck.
The emperor waved his hand to let the guards retreat, he was not afraid, Si Hong Bowen alone could kill a tiger with his bare hands.
Toya led the tiger into the middle of the field, and the attendant carried a wooden platform and handed her a leather whip. She shook her arm, threw out a crisp whip, and a lion and a tiger obediently squatted down in front of her.
Toya patted the tiger on the back. Under her command, the lion and tiger took turns to jump on the wooden platform, standing or lying down, making various movements.
In the end, the lion and tiger stood on the stage together and opened their mouths, and Toya smiled, stretched out her hands and put them into the mouths of the two beasts.
The crowd exclaimed in unison, "Oh my God! She's too daring! ”
"Mom, if you don't pay attention to this, the two jade arms will really become lotus roots."
There are also sons of the family who praised: "Tsk, it really deserves to be the pearl of the grassland, both color and art!" ”
Bystander: "Wrong words! The color and art are all about singing and dancing. It should be both wise and brave, uh, it's not right."
Xia Qingyun couldn't help but applaud her. It is not easy for a girl to practice this step, and Toya must have worked hard. Even as an enemy, she is worthy of respect.
After Toya finished the performance, she put the lion tiger in the cage, walked to the female guest seat, pointed at Xia Qingyun and said, "I want to compete with you in this game!" You and I are both county lords, please go to the battle in person! (To be continued......)
