The banquet to welcome the Great Ming Council and the envoys took place in the spacious hall of the Great Pole Hall.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat on a large carved wooden chair in the middle of the altar. On the wall behind him, a chisei gourd family pattern symbolizing victory in a hundred battles is hung high, and the icon is written with four gilt characters "Toyotomi Hideyoshi".

Shen Weijing, Xu Yiyi and Xie Yongzi sat on the right side of the middle altar. Tokugawa Ieyasu and the other five elders and Konishi Yukicho sat on the left side of the middle altar. The rest of the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom sat under the Nanyu in the lower position.

The banquet was rich in food and drink.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi took the lead in delivering a speech, expressing his welcome to the Ming envoy and toasting three glasses. Immediately afterwards, Shen Weijing held the wine glass in his hand and stood up: "Wei Jing came this time, firstly, to congratulate Lord Taige on his happy son; The second is for the Ming and Japanese countries to stop fighting and negotiate peace and reconciliation. Today, the three of us are very grateful for the hospitality we received in this Great Pole Hall. Therefore, this glass of wine, I want to salute Lord Taiko. We have a Ming drink first to pay respect, and I will do it first. ”

"Good. General Shen's words were refreshing. I like it. Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat on a chair, and after Shen Weijing drank the wine in the toast, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Shen Weijing knew that the other party was too powerful, so he didn't dare to let go too much in drinking, and after the toast, he quietly touched Xu Yiyi, who was sitting on his right side, with his foot, and motioned for him to toast.

Xu always understood, stood up, followed Shen Weijing's example, and toasted Toyotomi Hideyoshi with a glass of wine.

Seeing that Xu had always toasted, Xie Yongzi did not dare to slack off, and also stood up and toasted Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi drank bitterly one by one.

"The three envoys came from afar, and the journey was tiring. I will take the lead, and our five elders will toast the three envoys. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was sitting opposite Shen Weijing, picked up his wine glass and smiled.

Somehow, Shen Weijing had an inexplicable sense of fear for Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was a square-headed and broad-faced, five-year-old pen head, and when he saw the other party smiling and toasting to himself and the other two envoys, he quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"You see I haven't drunk it yet, General Shen can't wait. I don't know if it's because our sake is so fragrant, or because General Shen doesn't want to talk to us and others? Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Shen Weijing and dodged his eyes, holding a wine glass and deliberately slowing down the pace.

Shen Wei glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu's faint eyes, and saw that Tokugawa Ieyasu's black and white phoenix eyes were as deep as a pool of water and unfathomable.

For a sleek person like Shen Weijing, who looks overly clever on the surface, in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu's heroic eyes, there is basically no power to parry. However, no matter how Shen Weijing says, he is also a person who has seen some of the world. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes were mysterious, Shen Weijing could still see some meanings in them: that is, indifference, arrogance, and subtle difficulty.

In an instant, Shen Weijing quickly compared the eyes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had just been taught, with the eyes of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was looking at him. The eyes of the two can be described by two different adjectives: domineering and yin.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's unfriendly eyes made Shen Weijing very uncomfortable, he picked up the wine glass that the maid had just filled with wine, and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes: "In our Ming Dynasty, drinking is about drinking a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant. For me, meeting an elder like you is not only meeting a confidant, but also a relative. Come, dear, I toast you. As I said just now, in our Ming Dynasty, the toaster should do it first to show respect for being respected. After Shen Weijing finished speaking, he drank the wine in the wine glass.

Shen Weijing's words were a good response to Tokugawa Ieyasu's no

Friendly.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was scheming and well-informed, his actions were indeed a bit rude. In the face of Shen Weijing's words that were neither soft nor hard to fight back against him, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Come on, come on, I'll have a drink with both of you. Today is a happy day for Lord Taiko, and we can't sweep away his old man's interest. Seeing that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Shen Weijing were secretly competing, Konishi Yukichang hurriedly picked up his wine glass and played a round.

"Good, good, drink. General Shen, the old man was happy to see you, he just wanted to joke with you, don't be surprised. Hehe. Tokugawa Ieyasu took the opportunity to round himself up and drank the wine from his glass.

Next, the remaining five elders toasted one after another. Daimyo from all over the country also came over to toast Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Shen Weijing and others.

For a time, the Great Pole Hall was staggered, and it was very lively.

Shen Weijing was worried that he would delay his business after drinking too much, so after the first round of toasting, he stood up and said to Toyotomi Hideyoshi: "Lord Taiko, the three of us and the other three have traveled across the ocean to come here this time, and they are entrusted by the imperial court. I also hope that Lord Taiko will resolve this matter as soon as possible. ”

"You mean that our two countries are making peace. No hurry, no hurry. The three of them traveled thousands of miles to our island country, and first drank some wine to relieve fatigue. It is not too late to talk about the matter of peace later. I think so, I heard that General Shen is very fond of my country's singing and dancing. Today, I'm going to open your eyes and see the performance of Kabuki, the top of our country. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished speaking, he slapped his hands twice.

As Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished clapping, the musicians at the scene played the horizontal flute, taiko drum and other instruments in their hands. For a while, the entire hall was filled with drums.

As the instrumental music played, a young man dressed in black and eight young women in kimonos flashed from behind the giant screen on the right side of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's body. Led by the young man in the lead, the eight women moved lightly to the platform below the middle altar.

Seeing so many beauties coming in front of him, Shen Weijing suddenly forgot Fang Cai's unhappiness, he turned his body slightly, and watched every move of the eight women.

Nine performers came to the platform and stood in formation to the music. The man was dressed in black, with a black head wrapped around his head, a red scarf around his waist, an ancient musical instrument red copper cymbal hanging on his chest, and a katana sword stuck in his waist, and the whole person looked chic and handsome.

"The light shines everywhere, the world in ten directions;

Reciting Buddha sentient beings, ingesting is not reluctant.

Nam no Amitabha ......"

The eight women's feet are constantly rubbing the ground and leaving the ground at the same time, and the sleeves of the kimono are as light as willow branches as their bodies swing, and the whole dance is very vigorous and vibrant, but there is also a sense of tranquility and grace.

The man first took off the cymbal and sang and danced with the eight women behind him, and then he hung up the cymbal, drew the katana at his waist, and danced to the beat.

The performance of the nine people set off a burst of ** at the scene and won bursts of applause. Some of the daimyo under Minamiki even stood up from the table and danced to the performance of nine kabukis.

Shen Weijing's two eyes were initially only staring at the eight young women in kimonos. Slowly, he found that the face of the young man dressed in black on the field was actually more delicate and handsome than the eight women, and this man was also softer and lighter than those women in terms of body and pace.

Shen Weijing's eyes widened, staring at the man's every move. Later, he finally saw from the man's bulging chest that he was disguised as a man. This discovery suddenly made Shen Weijing infinitely fascinated by the body of this woman dressed as a man

Thinking, his eyes began to fire outward.

"General Shen, how do you feel?" President Konishi asked when he saw Shen Weijing staring at the woman on the stage salivating.

"Uh-huh, good, good. The body is beautiful, the steps are light, the dancing posture is excellent, and the appearance is like a fairy. Shen Weijing used several adjectives in a row to describe the beauty of the nine women.

"What about the one in black?" President Konishi continued to ask Shen Weijing.

"Originally, my daughter's body was more romantic in black." Shen Weijing said it in a nutshell.

"General Shen really has good eyesight, and he can see her daughter at a glance. Do you know who she is? ”

"I don't know."

"She is the priestess of the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Izumo Province, Japan, who is well-known in our Japanese country. We all call her Izumo Akoku. This "Buddha Dance" was created by her. ”

"I really can't imagine that there is such a stunner in this remote island country." Shen Weijing thought to himself.

Just as Konishi Yukicho and Shen Weijing were talking in a whisper, Izumo Akuni on the platform suddenly disappeared.

Shen Weijing looked around with wide eyes, but he didn't find the mysterious shadow. On the platform, only the eight women in kimonos danced to the music.

Just when Shen Weijing was disappointed, he saw a burst of white air rising from behind the screen, and in a melodious flute sound, this clear air spread out, enveloping the entire hall in a mysterious atmosphere.

The melodious sound of the transverse flute came to an abrupt end. In the diffuse air, a woman in a red tight-fitting see-through suit writhed like a snake and emerged from behind the screen.

The dense drum sounded, and the woman danced lightly to the beat of the drum, transforming one graceful shape after another.

Shen Weijing immediately recognized that this woman was Izumo Akuni who had changed her clothes. He immediately came to his senses, and his eyes never left Izumo Aguo's writhing bewitching body.

Everyone at the scene was completely shocked by the powerful aura of Izumo Akoku, and except for the rhythmic drumbeat, everyone held their breath and looked forward to the wonderful moment.

Against the backdrop of eight women, Izumo Akuni jumped lightly on the platform, shuttling and wandering, and his outstanding dancing posture held the eyes of everyone on the scene.

Shen Weijing looked at it, his expression was a little trance, as if suddenly, Izumo Aguo was floating towards his location like a fairy in the clouds.

The smart eyes, the smooth white and tender skin like clotted cream, the slender and soft slender jade fingers, the flowing hair, the sexy and charming red lips, all these allure points in front of me from Izumo Aguo's body turned into an alternate, confusing picture in front of Shen Weijing's eyes. Shen Weijing wanted to grasp any of them, but he felt powerless. The wonderful pictures are close in front of you, but they also seem to be far away.

Shen Weijing, who was trapped in the fog of reverie, suddenly felt that there was a cold and soft thing on his back that was squirming and climbing up his waist. In an instant, a terrifying picture appeared in Shen Weijing's mind: a flower snake wrapped around his waist, sniffing his body odor, and slowly swimming towards his neck. Shen Weijing's whole body suddenly tensed, holding his breath, and his whole body was extremely cautious to feel every detail of the flower snake's slow wriggling.

The flower snake clinged to Shen Weijing's back to his shoulder, and then swam towards his chest against both sides of his neck.

Shen Weijing's tense nerves had been stretched to the limit, and he wanted to shout for help, but he felt a foreign body in his throat suddenly gushing out from the bottom up. He had to jerk his mouth open.

With a crisp sound, a bright cherry blossom jumped out of Shen Weijing's mouth.
