Chapter 113: Bonfire Banquet

Seeing that he was about to enter the queen city, the flag was suddenly broken by a strong wind, which made the hearts of the soldiers under Li An's command quite worried, and the flag broke for no reason, which was a bad omen, indicating that something bad was going to happen.

"It's fine, the flag is blown off by the wind, I'm afraid it's not a good omen."

Li Fei Shouyu looked around vigilantly.

Li An was not too worried, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry too much, just strengthen your vigilance and enter the city." ”

Now that he has arrived in the queen city, Li An will naturally not retreat, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if there is great difficulty, even if the queen city is a tiger's den in Longtan, he will go in and break in.

Six hundred officers and soldiers of the Tang Army and four hundred logistics men, under the leadership of Li An, entered the queen city in a mighty way.

The arrival of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army immediately aroused the strong interest of the people of the Queen City, who had never seen a foreign army, and their curious eyes were not inferior to the people of the countryside outside the city, and even passed by.

Of course, Ang Lee and the soldiers of the Tang Army under his command were also very curious about the people of the East Women's Kingdom, because they could see clearly that in the Queen City, all the brightly dressed women always had a few male servants behind them, and almost all the women held their heads high and were full of confidence, while the men, on the contrary, were submissive in front of the women, all of them were like angry little men, without the temperament that a man should have.

Of course, the East Women's Country is a country where women are respected, whether it is the king of a country or the head of a family, they are all women, and men are always only in a subordinate position, and over time, men will naturally become lacking in self-confidence, which is a fact of human nature.

Looking at these little men who followed behind the woman's buttocks, Li An couldn't help but secretly shake his head, how could such a man with no courage attract the favor of women, no wonder he could only be a slave for the rest of his life.

The onlookers of the Dongnu Kingdom and the young lady saw that the Tang soldiers were all confident sons, and they all couldn't help but cast their blazing eyes, especially the rays cast at Li An were the most dense, which made Li An feel quite overwhelmed.

Beauty loves heroic heroes, this is the eternal truth for thousands of years, this is the case in the patriarchal society, and the same is true in the East Women's Country, which respects women.

"Big brother, the little lady of the East Girl Country is really bold, and her eyes are so hot when she looks at people."

Li Feiyu's face flushed slightly, obviously ashamed.

Li An grinned: "The customs of the Eastern Female Country are enlightened, and the brothers are afraid to be blessed." ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Feiyu looked at Li An with a confused expression.

"This time we should still focus on the task, after smashing the conspiracy of the Tubo people, the eldest brother will make the brothers feel that this trip is worthwhile."

Li An smiled slyly and looked at Li Feiyu with deep meaning.

Looking at Li Feiyu, who was still confused, Li An sighed that this kid was still too young, a little too simple, and he was not at the same age as himself.

The team soon arrived near the palace, the so-called palace, that is, the larger watchtower, Zhao Yufu lived in the watchtower has nine floors, at the bottom there is a larger area of the wall, between the wall and the watchtower is a small building of two or three floors, the maids live in these small buildings, responsible for serving the queen.

"Bin."

Several male and female officials in official uniforms bent down to salute Zhao Yufu.

Zhao Yufu stepped forward enthusiastically, helped them up one by one, and introduced them to Li An and others one by one.

The middle-aged woman headed by Zhao Yufu is Zhao Mengru, the eldest aunt of Zhao Yufu, this person is Gao Ba Li of the East Women's Country, equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, second only to Zhao Yufu, she has a kind complexion, looks polite, although she is not young, but she still has a charming appearance, quite a taste of.

The young woman next to her is Zhao Mengjie, Zhao Yufu's little aunt, who is also the Gao Ba Li of the East Women's Country, and assists Zhao Yufu with her sister Zhao Mengru.

Zhao Mengjie's posture far surpasses that of Zhao Mengru, and even chases after Zhao Yufu, but under her beautiful appearance, there seems to be a trace of cunning hidden, and Ang Lee can't tell whether her cunning is naughty or insidious.

The middle-aged man on the left side of the back row is Zhao Daiwen, Zhao Yufu's uncle, who is gentle and elegant, with a cultural atmosphere, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a cordial feeling.

On the right side of Zhao Daiwen, there is Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui, the fourth uncle of Zhao Yufu, who is thin and small, with his eyes rolling wildly, although he is already middle-aged, he has no beard on his chin, and he looks like a man without a man's temperament, but like a eunuch in the Tang Palace.

These four people are all core officials of the East Women's Kingdom, and of course, there are several officials who are not in Queen City, so naturally they did not come to greet them.

Li An and Xi Yu bowed their hands, greeted the four of them one by one, and the four of them were also very polite and returned the salute one by one, completely ignoring Xi Yu between the words, and praising Li An, especially Zhao Mengjie's pair of hot eyes, wandering around Li An's body without any scruples, not caring about the people around him, of course, the customs of the East Female Country are like this, and no one will feel inappropriate.

In the Tang Dynasty, men are respected, so men with status will go to the Qinglou and appreciate beauty without scruples, while the East Women's Country is respected by women, and women appreciate handsome men in public, which is naturally the most normal thing, this is women's freedom and women's rights.

After some greetings, Li An and his entourage were arranged in a three-story small building not far from the queen's watchtower, of course, the house here can only accommodate 100 people, and the rest of the soldiers only live in a vacant land a little farther away, and set up tents to live.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the Tang guests, in the evening, Zhao Yufu personally held a bonfire party, most of the magnates of the East Female Kingdom were present, and Li An and Xi Yu and other Tang guests naturally would not be absent.

The location of the bonfire, in front of the Queen's Tower, is large enough to accommodate thousands of people to celebrate at the same time.

Zhao Yufu sat on the throne facing south, on the left and right sides were Zhao Mengru and Zhao Mengjie, two Gao Ba Li, that is, the internal minister, the next row on the east side of the head was the guests of the Tang Dynasty, the first was the Tang Dynasty Rite Department attendant Xi Yu, followed by Li An, and then a number of senior officials of the Ministry of Rites, as for Li Fei Shouyu, Kunxiong, Feiyu and others, they all stood in the back row, responsible for protecting the safety of the officials.

On the opposite side of Li An and others, there are important officials of the East Women's Country, the first one is the Minister Zhao Daiwen, and the next Li An has not seen it, however, the third is the fourth phase Zhao Hui, and the fourth is the fifth phase Zhao Wufu, so the identity of the second one is not difficult to guess, either the second phase or the third phase, and the next few are also high-ranking officials of the East Woman Country.

In the open space between the two rows of officials, a row of bonfires was set up, and barbecue meat was set up on top of the bonfire, and some low-status Dongnuguo men squatted next to the bonfire, constantly tumbling and roasting meat to prevent the meat from being burned.

When the moon is in the sky, the breeze is slow, and a smell of meat gently wafts in, which makes Li An quite comfortable, if he doesn't know that this trip is dangerous, Li An really wants to stay in Dongnu Country all the time to enjoy this simple folk customs.

The lamb on the bonfire was soon fully roasted, and was served one by one to the tables in front of the people, while two rows of handsome ladies brought pastries and wine.

Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, looked at Li An and the others, and said: "In the days of Chang'an City, the Tang Emperor took good care of me, making me feel at home. ”

"Thank you King Guichang, this is already very good, very good."

Xi Yu smiled all over his face and bowed to Zhao Yufu, and Li An and the officials of the Ministry of Rites also followed suit.

Zhao Yufu smiled lightly and clapped his hands.

Suddenly, a row of handsome dancers with light yarn slowly came in from one side, and danced around the bonfire, the dance of the East Woman Kingdom is very different from the dance in the Tang Palace, the Tang Dynasty pays attention to tenderness and subtlety, while the East Woman Country is relatively bolder, and the dance posture is more charming and fangren, Li An and others who watched it couldn't help but be excited.

Eating roasted mutton, drinking mellow and rich wine, and watching the handsome little lady dance, what a cool word.

However, Li An knew that there must be a great danger lurking in the Dongnu Kingdom, and when he entered the city gate, the military flag was blown off and he had already reminded him, so Li An never relaxed his vigilance, and before coming to see the bonfire party, he arranged everything, and asked several brothers behind him to closely monitor everyone present to see if they could find anything.

The burning bonfire illuminates the party scene as bright as day, and illuminates every face, Zhao Yufu is always full of smiles, and glances at Li An from time to time, with tenderness in his eyes, Zhao Mengru and Zhao Mengjie next to him also have excited expressions, among them, Zhao Mengjie frequently looks at Li An with hot eyes, and is not afraid of Li An's back, and his eyes are so bold that Li An is surprised.

The four foreign ministers opposite, except for the five-phase Zhao Wufu's expression was a little unhappy, the other three were all smiling, among them, especially the four-phase Zhao Hui smiled the most.

Seeing the four-phase Zhao Hui smiling so sweetly, Li An's mind involuntarily appeared the image of Li Linfu, this person gave Li An a very special feeling, just like seeing Li Linfu, however, what his heart was, Li An didn't know.

From everyone's expressions, Ang Lee can't tell who is the enemy and who is the friend, but time will tell, and it won't be long before the true expressions hidden behind these smiling faces will be revealed step by step, and Ang Lee is not in a hurry about it.

After a few dances, the handsome little ladies left one by one, and two other juggling men rushed up and began to perform acrobatics.

"Huhuhu......"

One holds a torch in front of him, the other follows closely behind, and spits out a fiery dragon from his mouth.

"Wow......"

With the sudden rise of the fire dragon, the scene was full of exclamations.
