Volume 1: Da Chu Chapter 35: Sword Dance
That disdainful tone once again angered Tu Li, he roared, and the whole person rushed towards Duan Yi like a tiger descending from a mountain.
Duan Yi stood straight in place and didn't move, his left hand was on his back, and his right hand was released into a palm, and finally Qing clearly saw that the air around Duan Yi's palm was slightly twisted.
"Drink!" Suddenly, he took a breath, and the casserole-like iron fist smashed straight towards Duan Yi.
Duan Yi snorted lightly, and his palm suddenly turned into a yin-yang diagram, and a back and forth rotation directly unloaded the sudden fierceness.
His fingers touched three inches below the armpit of Tu Lie's right hand, and Tu Lie's whole body shook as if he had been struck by lightning, and then his legs stiffened and fell straight down.
"The Great Prince!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tulie's entourage hurriedly ran over to help him up, and Tulie shook his head, signaling that he was fine.
"The Pearl of the North Mother's Night." Duan Yi didn't bother to say anything politely, and directly reached out to him to ask for the bet he had just placed.
Tu Lie's face twitched, feeling that he was really humiliating, he snorted fiercely, willing to lose the bet, and ordered someone to hand over the North Mother Night Pearl to Duan Yi immediately.
It didn't take long for Prince Turi's men to dig out the Night Pearl, which was as big as an adult's fist, and even in the daytime it could be seen glowing faintly.
Even Emperor Chu, who had seen countless rare treasures, couldn't help but be moved by the night pearl, and it was the first time he had seen the night pearl in such perfect condition.
Tulie handed him the Night Pearl with a painful face, this thing was snatched by someone else before it was hot, it was really annoying.
Duan Yi didn't even say a word of thanks before he took the overnight pearl and put it in his hand, which was not bad.
"Haha, it's just a competition, the two of you are seated quickly, and I have prepared a lot of delicacies for you to enjoy!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Emperor Chu spoke at the right time to ease the atmosphere between the two.
With Emperor Chu's words, Tu Li's character was a little better, and he returned to his seat with a muffled snort and poured a big gulp of wine.
Emperor Chu's eyelids twitched, although this wine is not strong, but it is easy to get dizzy if you drink too much, this sudden intensity is like a nobody, drinking is like a cow drink.
Duan Yi also returned to his seat, he walked up to Zhong Qing and directly threw the night pearl he had just gotten to her under the surprised eyes of everyone!
Zhong Qing subconsciously took it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he regretted it, what does the prince mean by this, how can this thing be given to her?!
"For you, take it." Duan Yi said another surprising sentence, and just such a sentence made many people secretly speculate about the relationship between the two.
But fortunately, Zhongqing is now dressed as a woman, and basically few people can see her true gender, so they don't think about it.
In desperation, Zhong Qing had no choice but to accept this hot night pearl, she could feel that there were many lines of sight wandering back and forth on her now, thinking to herself why did the prince come to such a show if he had nothing to do, which attracted attention?
After the episode between Duan Yi and Tu Li's competition just now, the sky will gradually become thicker, and the surrounding of the Imperial Garden is hung with lanterns, but it is not too dim, but it has a unique character.
The palace maids served plate after plate of delicacies one after another, and the chicken, duck and fish meat were basically in place, which was enough to show the importance that Emperor Chu attached to Tulie.
Zhong Qing approached Duan Yi without a trace by pouring wine, and opened his lips and said, "Lord Wang, have you figured out how to do that thing?" ”
Duan Yi didn't look at her, and also replied in a low voice: "What, you have an idea?" ”
Zhongqing chuckled, a glint flashed in the fox's eyes, and he said, "Please wait and see." ”
Duan Yi raised his eyebrows, Yu Guang glanced at her, and found that she had an expression of ambition, and seeing this, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.
"In that case, the king wishes you a helping hand." He said suddenly.
Zhong Qing was slightly stunned, but she was puzzled and instantly understood what Duan Yi's words meant, she nodded slightly and smiled: "The prince is smart." ”
The conversation between the two was very quiet, and there was an endless stream of silk and bamboo sounds around them to cover up, so naturally no third person heard their conversation.
The night was getting darker, and the dancers changed wave after wave, and the sudden eyes were almost overlooked, and he only felt that every girl here seemed to look the same, and he was tired of seeing it.
"Holy Lord, Tulie has something to ask." Tulie said suddenly.
Emperor Chu was accustomed to the same warm smile as the crown prince, and he said, "The prince is okay to say. ”
Tu Lie stood up and pointed at those dancers, and said bluntly: "Don't you think that these dances are the same, weak and tasteless. ”
In the eyes of their "strong" Beishuo people, it's good to look at these ladies occasionally, but after watching them for a long time, they will get bored, and they are not as happy as their Beishuo dance.
Emperor Chu knew that the people of Beishuo were fierce and open, and his things in Da Chu naturally had a sense of freshness when he looked at them for the first time, but after looking at them for a long time, he found that there was nothing.
Emperor Chu smiled again, and before he could open his mouth to ask Tulie what he thought, the third prince sitting at the bottom of the left side spoke first.
"Looking at the competition between Prince Tulie and King Duan, I think that I must like martial arts when I come to Beishuo, it just so happens that Erchen has recently learned a new sword dance, and Erchen has the courage to go on the field to make a fool of himself, I don't know if my father can allow it?"
The third prince Chu Mo stood up and asked for instructions, he should not have been on stage as a prince, but in order not to be looked down upon by the people of Beishuo, he would stand up, and the meaning was a little different.
For the sake of Great Chu, Emperor Chu naturally would not refuse to agree to his request, so he waved his hand and agreed.
Chu Mo waved his sleeves, turned around and said to Tulie: "Prince Tulie, you have to watch it!" ”
After speaking, the eunuch behind him took off his coat for him, took a soft sword and jumped up, and landed firmly on the ground.
With a "brush", the silver software was pulled out by Chu Mo, and the silver-white moonlight shone on the sword body, pulling out silver flowers.
The posture of the three princes with their swords is strong and elegant, which makes people know at a glance that it is just for watching, and there is no real lethality.
Tu Lie still felt a little strange when he saw it, if he hadn't just lost to Duan Yi, he couldn't help but want to go up and compete with the three princes, but fortunately, the subordinates around him stopped him in time, otherwise I don't know what outrageous moves he would make.
The three princes danced very seriously, and those who were accompanied by a little martial arts could see that Chu Mo's sword dance was unusual.
After about a cup of tea, the three princes danced, his eyes were fixed, his palm held the hilt of the sword on the ground and waved "brush, brush, brush", and the movement was so fast that people couldn't see clearly.
After a while, ten words appeared on the floor of Qingyan Gang, and it became a poem even when it was read!
"The guest in the door is from Beishuo!" I don't know who saw the words on the floor, and muttered them first.
The words on the slate were carved by the three princes with software very clearly and clearly, just a soft sword can carve such deep words on the incomparably hard Qingyan granite, it is indeed extraordinary!
"Good! I didn't expect Mo'er's swordsmanship to have reached such a state, what an eye-opener for me! Emperor Chu couldn't help laughing and applauded for the three princes.
As soon as the emperor stood up, how could the others have a reason to sit, they stood up together and applauded the three princes, and even Tu Lie admired it.
The third prince took the software back to the sword shell, and said with a calm smile: "The father and emperor have a good reputation, and the prince of Tulie is a distinguished guest of Great Chu, so his son naturally can't let the distinguished guest be uncomfortable in Great Chu." ”
Emperor Chu glanced at him appreciatively, among his sons, only the crown prince and the third prince were the most heartfelt.
"Alright, go and tidy up, lest you make a joke." Emperor Chu waved his hand and asked him to tidy up his face.
After the sword dance just now, his clothes and hair were a little messy, and he retreated with a confession, and the banquet continued.
Seeing this, Zhongqing casually found an excuse to leave not long after the third prince left, and no one noticed her leaving.
After Zhongqing left, he followed the footsteps of the three princes all the way, and it took a while to catch up with the three princes who were about to enter the side hall to change clothes.
"Three Highnesses stay!" Zhong Qing hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, the third prince stopped and looked back, it was actually the prince of Qin who had met not long ago, why was he here?
Chu Mo frowned, put down the hand that opened the door and turned around and asked, "Young Master Qin?" You're not at the feast, what are you doing here? ”
Zhong Qing smiled lightly and looked around: "This is not the place to speak, let's take a step to speak?" ”
After she finished speaking, regardless of whether the third prince agreed or not, she pushed the door and walked in, this side hall is specially used for those who need to change clothes due to accidents on the road.
There are many entrances to the palace like this, so there are not many people around, so it can be said that it is very quiet.
The third prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Qing, who walked in by himself, thinking that this person had been following Duan Yi for a long time, and he was even doing things so flamboyantly.
He lowered his head and smiled, but he didn't care, and followed in the footsteps of Zhongqing, and closed the door by the way.
There were only two people in the side hall, Zhongqing and the third prince, and the third prince sat down, poured her a glass of water before asking: "Qin Gongzi, please say something, it's not a good habit to leave for too long at the banquet." ”
Zhongqing sat opposite the third prince, and asked with a bull's head on the horse's mouth: "I don't know what the relationship between the third highness and the crown prince is?" ”
The third prince didn't expect her to ask such a question at the beginning, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed again: "Does Gongzi Qin really not know or pretend to be confused?" ”
He and the crown prince are already like fire and water, and the relationship is naturally-for-tat, but there is nothing to see on the surface.
Zhong Qing naturally knew this, and only by asking like this could she pave the way for the next words.
She asked again: "Then I don't know if the Third Highness has ever married a wife or married?" ”
The third prince was puzzled by her question, shook his head and said, "No, what does Qin Gongzi mean by this?" ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Qing again, thinking to himself, could it be that he wanted to introduce his wife to himself?
She ignored the reaction of the third prince, and continued: "Now there is an opportunity to bring down the crown prince, I wonder if the third highness is interested?" ”
Hearing this, the third prince's heart froze, and his eyes looked at the smiling person opposite him with a sense of danger, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
Zhong Qing had a faint smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't rush him to answer, just took a sip of the water he had just poured and waited quietly for his reply.
After a long time, the third prince made sure that he couldn't see anything wrong before he looked away from her, and resumed his usual hypocritical smile.
"Let's talk about it, I don't know what Gongzi Qin wanted, or what idea King Duan played?"
