Chapter 380: The Woman in White
For tonight's banquet, Lu Lihua and Gu Daoyuan had already agreed. Gu Daoyuan wanted to put together the plan of Shu and Qin to jointly attack the Rong people, so that he could find out some words through Liu Zhi's reaction, so that he could carry out the next plan.
Therefore, it can be easily seen from Liu Zhi's face that Liu Zhi's embarrassment and Shu State's helplessness.
Because tonight's banquet was just to throw bricks and attract jade, so Lu Lihua naturally did not pin his hopes on today.
Seeing from a distance that Liu Zhi was still stubborn and stubborn, Zhu Lihua suddenly sneered and picked up the wine glass in front of the case.
"Brother Zhao also saw it?"
Suddenly, Li Hao's voice sounded in Lihua's ears again, which frightened Lihua, who guessed Liu's intentions.
He turned his head to look at Li Hao, who was about to stick in front of him, but found that Li Hao's red eyes were full of worries about the country and the people.
"What did Brother Li see?"
Lihua pretended not to know and asked, while Li Hao leaned close to Lihua's ear and whispered:
"Brother Zhao, why do you want to hide it from me, you came this time to ask Xiangbang to send troops and go north from the Sword Pavilion Pass to attack the Rong people.
I've heard that the Qin State, under the leadership of Zuo Gengli Hua, fought a big victory. defeated the 200,000 army of the Rong State, so the Rong people in the homeland of the Qin State are afraid that they have become crippled. ”
Speaking of this, Li Hao suddenly stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother Zhao, I didn't mean to say the word crippled. ”
Zhu Lihua stretched out his hand and waved it to show that it was okay, and then asked Li Hao: "Brother Li's guess is right, we do have this idea when we come to Shu this time, but that is something that Gu Zaizun should consider, and I only know a little bit about it." ”
Lu Lihua responded vigilantly to Li Hao's question, but after seeing Li Hao hear his words, he nodded and said, "I know you're here to have fun, but what I want to tell you is that I'm afraid you're going to run for nothing this time."
Because my Gongzi Ye and Gongzi Tu of Shu Kingdom both want to be the princes of the country, and now the two sides are facing each other with all their forces, where will there be idle soldiers and horses to help you fight?"
Listening to Li Hao's words, Zhu Lihua suddenly sank to the bottom with a sigh in his heart, but he carefully observed Li Hao for a moment before he was sure, this Li Hao didn't seem to know his plan and deliberately made a tentative speech, maybe he just kindly reminded himself.
But despite this, Zhu Lihua was still pretending to be confused, and said in a probing voice: "Gongziye and Gongzitu? Why do they want to fight for the public position, isn't the Duke of Shu alive?
And how could the soldiers and horses of Shu be in the hands of these two people? ”
Seeing that Lihua was a little unclear about his words, Li Hao whispered to Lihua about the turmoil in Shu in recent years, and after hearing these secret things in Lihua's ears, Lihua found that the news he had found out from himself could match nine times out of ten.
So when Li Hao continued to talk again, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but have a good impression of Li Hao, but he was also a little strange why Li Hao said this to himself.
"Brother Li, these things should be a secret of your country, why do you want to tell me?"
After Li Hao listened to Lihua's inquiry, he touched his head a little embarrassed and whispered to Lihua: "I heard my father say that your country's Zuo Lihua is the number one hero in the world, so I want to ask you to help me introduce me to the person who is bigger than Zuo, and then I have a big gift to give him."
As long as he can promise to take me to war, to fight the soldiers. ”
When Li Lihua heard this, he immediately sank his face, he looked at Li Hao's face carefully, but found that there was nothing unusual on his face full of sincerity.
But Zhu Lihua still didn't dare to slack off, he said to Li Hao: "Brother Li, I don't know Zuo Daren, let alone meet him. But if he can see Zuo Geng in the future, I will definitely convey Brother Li's words to Zuo Geng.
Brother Li, please rest assured. ”
Li Hao saw that Lihua's face changed abruptly, and there was a cold look in his words, and he thought that Lihua was perfunctory, and suddenly a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"I heard that the left man was followed by two white wolves, and he always rode a white horse when he fought, and after entering the Rong army, thousands of troops and horses could not stop him, such heroes are really fascinating.
Alas, I, Li Hao, was also born at the wrong time, so why didn't I reincarnate in the troubled place of Qin. I was born in such a nest place, which made me so depressed. ”
"Poof!"
Listening to Li Hao's self-talk, he immediately squirted the wine he had just drunk into his mouth, causing everyone around him to cast disgusted glances at him.
"Which teahouse did you hear this story from?" Lu Lihua coughed and asked Li Hao, who had a dazed look of envy on his face, while smiling bitterly.
Li Hao looked at Lihua strangely, and then asked suspiciously, "Hasn't Brother Zhao heard of the heroic deeds of Lord Lihua?" In the teahouses and taverns all over the Shu Kingdom, the storyteller said so, is it false? ”
Speaking of this, Li Hao's face suddenly changed and asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, then you come and tell me, what kind of hero is that Zuo Daren, the two Sumeru wolves beside him are said to be the size of elephants, and his concubine is said to be more beautiful than the fairies in the sky, right?" ”
Li Hao looked at Lihua excitedly, and kept asking like a cannon, but Lihua looked embarrassed, not knowing how to tell the legendary Lihua.
At this moment, Liu Zhi, who was at the head of the hall, suddenly stood up, attracting everyone's attention to him.
Even Li Hao couldn't help but let out a soft "huh" and turned his gaze to Liu Zhi.
Lu Lihua breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time looked at Liu Zhi.
I saw that Liu Zhi picked up a glass of wine, although he was smiling, he obviously had some uncomfortable expressions, and it was easy for him to observe.
At this moment, Li Hao's voice suddenly sounded in Lihua's ears.
"Isn't Xiangbang going to make a toast when Gongzi Ye comes? That's weird. ”
Li Hao's self-talk was heard word by word by Zhu Lihua, which immediately made Zhu Lihua's heart sink, and then guessed that there must be something strange about the things here.
But now it's useless to always think too much, so you can only take one step at a time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today the prime minister set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of Qin and Qi, and I wanted to wait for the eldest son to come before holding a banquet, but the old man got the news that the eldest son was delayed by state affairs and could not come to the banquet. If you are negligent, please also ask Gu Zaizuka and Tian Xiangbang to forgive me. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zhi bowed slightly to Gu Daoyuan and Tian Tong, and then continued with a smile:
"Since the eldest son can't come, but for the two countries to make up for the matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust, in order to make up for the responsibility of the two envoys for a long time, Liu specially arranged a sword dance performance, and please enjoy it.
This sword dancer is a wonderful beauty that Liu Mou asked for from the king some time ago, and he doesn't dare to say that he is stunning in the world, and it is also a second person that the old man has never seen. I am sure you will not be disappointed. ”
After saying that, Liu Zhi clapped his hands gently, and the musicians in the hall began to play a rhythmic tune. Liu Zhi smiled slightly, raised the wine bottle in his hand and raised it to everyone in the hall, and then drank it all with his neck up.
"Ah, is there really a sword dance?"
Zhu Lihua was still carefully observing Liu Zhi, who sat down again after drinking and continued to talk with Gu Daoyuan, but suddenly heard Li Hao's sigh that seemed to be extremely excited, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Hao, whose eyes were like fire, and said in his heart that in the eyes of this guy, how could that hero be able to beat the beauty.
Judging by his reaction, the geisha who was about to dance the sword was far more exciting to him than the Rausch Zizuo Lihua.
While he was thinking, except for Zhu Lihua, who couldn't stand up in the hall, the rest of the people also stood up after Liu Zhi toasted and raised the bottle to drink.
After sitting down, Li Hao shook his head left and right, as if he was looking for the geisha who was about to appear, and at the same time sighed and said:
"I have long heard that Liu Xiangbang got a beautiful man from the king, not to mention the beauty of the country, and the sword dance is like flowing water, and everyone who has watched it is shocked.
In order to have a glimpse of the beauty, I have been to this Xiangbang Mansion countless times, but I have always been shirked by Xiangbang, so I have not been able to meet the beautiful person.
Who would have thought that Li would come at the right time today and be able to see her.
Brother Zhao, you are blessed, the first time you came to Xiangbang Mansion to see such a wonderful show, maybe after seeing that woman today, you will never see other vulgar fans. ”
"Knock knock knock!"
Zhu Lihua was about to respond to Li Hao's words, but suddenly heard a rapid drum beat.
And not only him, but everyone in the hall seemed to know that there would be unexpected surprises after the rapid drum sound, and after putting down the wine bottle in their hands, they looked at the hall door with Liu Zhi's eyes.
Lu Lihua also looked at the door of the hall with everyone, and happened to see a woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil Yingying walking into the hall.
Although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she could guess from her graceful posture that the woman's face under the veil would be exquisite.
What is even more surprising is not the graceful figure of the woman, but the fact that she is holding a small bamboo cage in her hand at this moment.
The bamboo cage is covered with white gauze, and it is impossible to see what is trapped inside.
It's just that the white gauze and the clothes of the woman in white reflect each other, which makes the woman in white even more mysterious.
The woman in white walked to the center of the hall to the sound of drums, and after putting down the bamboo cage in her hand, she drew the soft sword wrapped around her waist.
When everyone thought that the woman would salute everyone before dancing the sword, the drum suddenly stopped.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the musician playing the drum, but suddenly found that the graceful figure of the woman standing in the middle of the hall had disappeared into place.
"Wow!"
No one in the hall saw how the woman disappeared, and for a while, everyone was looking left and right to find the woman, and at the same time, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation in their mouths.
"She's up there!"
Like others, Zhu Lihua was also impressed by the stunt that appeared on the woman, and he was about to look left and right when he suddenly heard Li Hao's exclamation in his ears.
He looked up and saw that the woman in white was on the beam of the hut hall, but now she was facing down with her feet hooked on the wooden beam.
