Sword Dance
Once the hero draws his sword, it is another ten years of life. - Bai Lie.
The extravagant atmosphere in the brightly lit pavilion seemed to freeze suddenly, and everyone was originally happily watching this farce led by the son of the family, but they never thought that the young head of this down-and-out family in the countryside would really be rough in such a grand occasion.
What surprised them was not only that Bai Lie dared to face the son of a first-class family, but what was even more terrifying was that Bai Lie's posture of kneeling and sitting up with anger was completely the preparatory sword posture of the Tianshui Bai clan's "sitting on the sword and killing".
There has been an allusion to this sword posture, which is known to almost everyone in the Great Zhou.
Legend has it that when the first emperor did not win the world, but he wandered on the Wanzhou Plain, and invited the princes of Wanzhou, who were more powerful than him at that time, to set up a banquet in the palace.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, when the atmosphere was in full swing, the princes of Wanzhou insulted the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with innuendos, and Bai Yehan, the first head of the Bai family, who was sitting at the end of the banquet at the time, sat on the sword with anger, and the princes of Wanzhou were killed on the spot between the banquets.
Since then, the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has taken Wanzhou bloodlessly, has his own place, and laid a good scene for the Central Plains later.
And the First Emperor also praised with a smile, "Bai Ye sits on the sword and kills people, just like ten thousand troops taking the head of the enemy general from it, there is a fierce wind, it can be described as my tiger general!" ”
Since then, the Bai family's name of killing people with a sword has resounded throughout the Great Zhou, and today, between the banquets, the extremely young Bai family head in front of him actually went to the past together, sat on the sword and got up, wanting to do the actions of the ancestors, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Who would dare to personally kill the son of a first-class family in front of everyone's eyes?
Yuan Taiqi, who was advising him to drink, was also alarmed by the noise, and opened the silver curtain to look at the presumptuous young family owner with displeasure.
Bai Lie stared at it, there was a murderous aura in his eyes, and the guests around the entire warm pavilion were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, lest the young and vigorous Bai family master suddenly kill him and the others.
"The head of the Bai family? Who brought it to the banquet, and it was also a former big family, why didn't they understand the rules of etiquette at all? Yuan Taiqi's eyes were full of displeasure, and he dragged out his tone and asked slowly.
"Prime Minister, is it ...... It was his subordinates who brought him to the banquet, and his subordinates ...... "Wang Yu, the head of the forbidden army and the military aircraft participating in politics, was covered in cold sweat when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the building.
"The head of the Tianshui Bai clan, what a heavy temper!" I don't know how angry Yuan Taiqi was in his heart, but his tone was still as unhurried as usual.
"Yes...... It was the subordinates who took improper care, it was the head of the Bai family who found his subordinates and said that he admired your old demeanor for a long time, and heard that today is your seventieth birthday, so he prepared a generous gift in the hope that his subordinates could bring him to the banquet to see your old dragon and tiger style, but he never thought that this person was so frivolous, and his subordinates would be punished when they went back! ”
Wang Yu wiped the cold sweat on his head, and his heart was full of remorse for a while, he knew that the new head of the Bai family could break through such a catastrophe at the banquet, so he would not covet the silver handed by this person and bring this person to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If this makes the prime minister feel that he instructed this person to make trouble on his old man's happy birthday, then he is really dumb and can't tell if he eats coptis chinensis, in case he provokes his old man's heart, isn't it a mistake for his future out of thin air?
Thinking of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Bai Lie behind him viciously, and the kindness in his heart to the Tianshui Bai clan in the early years also disappeared at this time.
"Punishment!"
"Definitely! There is no etiquette at all, and you must be punished! ”
For a while, I heard Yuan Taiqi's lukewarm speech from the person sitting in the hall, and all the guests in the hall who went to the banquet also catered to each other, and they were excited.
Bai Lie looked indifferently at the people of the family who were fighting against him together, smiled disdainfully, and looked at the young man in Huayi who was still touching his face, his eyes became more and more unkind.
And although the man in Huayi said that he had the support of everyone at this time, Bai Lie's actions just now scared him physically and mentally, he never thought that this person really wanted to kill him, so when he saw Bai Lie's cold and murderous eyes, he couldn't help but tremble his fat body, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to say a cruel word.
Wang Yu got up and suddenly remembered, and said with a flattering smile, "Since Bai Lie has disturbed the prime minister's interest, it is better to let Bai Lie dance with the sword to help Yaxing."
The Bai family's legendary dance of breaking the formation is extremely wonderful, and it is a rare sword dance, which is enough to compete with the dancing girls in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"General Wang!" Bai Lie shouted in a low voice, a wave of humiliation rushing into his chest.
The sword dance of the Bai family is masculine and fierce, and it contains the ambition of the man on the battlefield to save the country and survive, which is the consistent teaching of the Bai family from generation to generation. I don't know how many famous generals of the Bai clan did this sword dance for the soldiers before the expedition, shaking the hearts of the army and moving forward indomitably, breaking the enemy's army, but now it is used as entertainment on this occasion compared to the obscene dance.
Yuan Taiqi, who was high above, didn't look at them either, and turned his head coldly with a wine glass.
A few drunken nobles around the family have already cheered up, no matter how enchanting the lowly dancing girl is, how can she compare with the head of the family with the blood of the general of the Tianshui Bai clan?
"Bai Lie" Wang Yu looked at Bai Lie, who was angry and rushed to the crown, and lowered his voice and shouted, "You are so self-conscious, you are the head of the Bai family, you are clear about the situation of the Bai family now, you defect to me for the future, I only take care of you because of the old feelings, you must not take an inch!" ”
"As long as I, Wang Yu, still control the forbidden army for one day, you are my subordinate, military law is like a mountain, no matter what Tianshui Bai clan Ye clan has, the blood of the general, if you don't obey orders, don't be a general in my forbidden army. There is no shortage of one or two generals in your Bai family in the world! ”
Bai Lie's monstrous anger was frozen on his face, and he almost gritted his teeth, but that anger was contained by something, like a sealed volcano, unable to erupt.
Tianshui Bai's blood, the general's blood, his father's last unspoken advice, passed by in front of Bai Lie's eyes, and the tightly clenched palm was powerless to let go, Bai Lie stared at the mahogany ground and smiled.
"The sword dance of the Bai clan is a very strong and fierce dance, and the majestic wind is close to the eyes, and it is not the work of the dancing girl that can be compared.
The famous nephew of the Bai clan sword dance has heard of it for a long time, and Uncle Yuan really wants to see it, which can be regarded as the wish of the nephew.
But this kind of extremely strong and fierce dance is something that ordinary musicians can with, and the little nephew is fortunate to be able to smell it when he first steps on the treasure land, so the nephew is not talented, and he dares to stroke the piano and hit the pillar to harmonize it, and I hope that Uncle Shi will agree! ”
A smiling and clear voice came slowly outside the warm pavilion, attracting everyone in the hall to stretch out their heads to look, even Yuan Taiqi, who had a low face, also looked relieved when he heard the words, and stood with a smile.
It was at this moment that the young man in white with a smile on his lips and a sorrowful brow silently walked into history and into this complicated and chaotic world.
Later generations were known as the "Sophist", the peerless art of war, the founder of the hegemony of the Great Chu Dynasty, and the unparalleled strategist on the battlefield in the troubled times, his origin is no longer verifiable, but the beginning of the story that people know is that he walked into the warm pavilion of Prime Minister Yuan Cheng's house.
It was at that step that the thousand-year-old history of Da Chu began to write down his name.
This name is called Xiangzhuang.
Xiang Zhuang stepped into the Smoke Wind Pavilion in a dignified manner, and did not encounter the obstruction of the slaves at all.
Although he did not hold the invitation in his hand, and the guests did not know who he was or where he came from, but this young man's white robe, the long eyebrows raised when he walked forward with his back, and the lips pursed lightly, everything seemed to have a compelling extravagance, even the elegance of a random gesture was by no means something that ordinary ministers could imitate.
No one dared to suspect that this strange child of the family was a late guest of the Fufeng Hall, because he had just called Yuan Taiqi as his uncle, which made people even more convinced of their thoughts.
He paused as he stepped on the steps of the Smoked Breeze Pavilion, and the maid who greeted him gently swept the steps with her broom on her cheeks crimson.
He stepped into the warm pavilion, the first thing he saw was the young figure standing tall with a sword, he flicked the paper fan in his hand, bowed down, and said: "I have heard the name of Tianshui Bai's iron-blooded martial arts for a long time, and I have collected Xinjiang for the country for eight hundred years, and I deserve to worship Zhuang, how fortunate I am to be able to dance with the Bai sword with a song today!" ”
Bai Lie glanced deeply at the man in white, and his face softened. All the way to the hall, standing with his sword in his hand, the air around him was quiet, but as he pulled out the sword at his waist, a heroic and fierce aura arose, and the faces of the surrounding guests were shocked.
The "Bai Clan's Breaking Array Sword Dance", which none of them had ever seen, was originally a fierce military dance, not a soft dance imagined by these nobles.
Once the general draws his sword, no matter who he is, he is like a battlefield warrior in front of the battle, and in the eyes of these guests, there is no crisp chest and long legs that swayed lightly in the wind just now, only the killing intent and domineering spirit of an iron-blooded warrior.
Bai Lie's face was heavy and solemn, holding his sword to his chest, and the sharp blade of the sword pointed directly at the red roof.
Xiang Zhuang's face was also sinking, he took a deep breath, his ten fingers began to move, the sound of the piano was like the beginning of spring thunder, one person played the piano, but it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses charging in formation between the pavilions, and the sound of iron and blood and might on the battlefield was stirring in the hall, and the guests who had never been prepared in their hearts were shocked for a while.
Bai Lie's figure was like a moonlight, turning around in his sword light, the red spikes of the sword hilt flew up, the long sword body threw down a large area of cold light, and when the sword blade pointed around, the shocked guests avoided the table one after another.
Bai Lie's body was light and agile, and he walked with the sword, like a red leaf floating in the cold light.
The sword is still the unparalleled king of weapons on the battlefield, Bai Lieying and Xiang Zhuang's increasingly high-pitched piano sounds, everything is as if the first generation of the Bai family master seven hundred years ago reappeared in the world, waving his sword on the battlefield where the armor covered the sky and the earth to inspire the army.
"Zhuang, worthy of the Bai Clan's Sword Dance!" Xiang Zhuang struck the festival and admired.
And Xiang Zhuang's tune turned again, the sound of the piano became more and more erratic, the cold did not stop, it was already ethereal, like an autumn leaf that was constantly undulating in the wind, and the iron-blooded breath of autumn was intensified in the continuous sound of the piano.
