Chapter 453: Sacrifice (7)
The Chinese army's tent was a rough scene, with animal skins on the upper chairs and animal claws on both sides. Two rows of braziers were filled with flames, and the black smoke from the charcoal fire reached the roof of the tent. Almost everything is gray-black in color, as if in an uncivilized cave. Only the flags, inkstones and other things on the public case have some traces of civilization, but they all look very simple.
Most of the guests on the table were also dressed in iron armor, and the plate armor glowed with the cold light of metal. There is an air of barbarism and violence everywhere.
It is precisely in such a place that the sound of elegant and beautiful silk and bamboo gradually sounds, and more than a dozen fair girls dance one after another, their faces are delicate and their clothes are brightly colored; The dancing postures and flowing clothes are incompatible with the environment and are extremely abrupt. The contrast between the two boxes seems to come from different worlds and different eras, as if they are separated from each other.
Guo Shao sat on a chair covered with animal skins, looking at the scene in front of him, and had an illusion...... It seems that a group of barbarians have broken into a prosperous and civilized place, and have captured women to come here for fun.
But he really felt wronged, because he had always regarded himself as a defender, and he had never thought of insulting and destroying civilization.
Look, the envoys of the Southern Tang Kingdom who sent these women here are not also watching with relish. The envoy raised his wine glass and said loudly in the voice of silk and bamboo: "May the two countries turn their rivalry into jade silk, and respect you below, and do it first." With that, he held the sleeve of his robe with one hand and raised his head to drink.
A group of men also gave a lot of face, and they all raised their glasses and said: "Dry! Dry ......"
Rao is like this, the atmosphere is still a little stagnant and heavy, if it weren't for the graceful music, I'm afraid it would be even more stiff. The messenger seemed to sniff out his breath and laughed awkwardly.
Guo Shao knew that the generals were wary, because the upper-level generals had heard about these people. He looked back left and right, and the top ones were Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao, and the two stared at the dancing girls, but they didn't appreciate it, but their expressions were cold.
This feast was not so easy from the beginning.
Guo Shao also looked at the woman below with casual eyes, and quickly found the person who took the initiative to serve Zhou Xian's living that day. After some observation, I have to admit that the girl imitates very similarly, and if you don't pay attention, it is difficult to find that she is different from other women; But once you pay attention, you can see the difference, the temperament is different, Guo Shao feels that the girl is not a courtesan at all, and there is a faint freedom and decisiveness between the dance movements.
However, they were at least a dozen steps away from Guo Shao's position, and at such a distance, Guo Shao was really a little curious about how to raid with melee weapons.
Think that Guo Shao started as a pawn, and he has never seen the bloody and bloody scenes on the battle battlefield, life and death, and he can still be afraid of a girl? He narrowed his eyes, raising his vigilance, and watched them dance with feigned interest.
When people are faced with a crisis, they usually give the highest priority to the source of danger, and Guo Shao is no exception, he has paid more attention to that woman at this time than to Zhou Xian. At this moment, he is ignoring Zhou Xian a little.
The dancing girls danced to the accompaniment of the beautiful sound, and finally changed into their swords. The drum beat of "Knock ......" was finally a little more exciting than just now. They change the tune, but the people don't, because there are so many people.
In the middle of the cold and shining sword weapons, the expressions of the generals changed subtly, and Li Chuyun, who was cutting meat and eating, also put down the knife and sat there quietly.
Bright red lips, graceful figure, but with the stimulation of soldiers, the sword dance is completely for men to appreciate the program, which can satisfy people's completely different senses at the same time, the pride of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the visual compensation of beauty. If it weren't for thinking about Ni Duan here, Guo Shao would have applauded.
In the quaint and monotonous tent, the sword light is dazzling, and the dancing girls are vigorous and agile. They danced the sword, with a larger range of activities than they had just danced, approaching Guo Shao from time to time.
Ten Steps...... Within ten steps, Guo Shao, Li Chuyun and the others were staring at the waving sword lights, and they gradually became nervous.
But suddenly, they retreated into the distance in a sway, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. This process makes Guo Shao feel like he has been tested at the bottom line...... But he still had his composure. The woman seemed to have grasped Guo Shao's thoughts, thinking that he was unwilling to show his lack of courage in public.
This dance is really exciting, Guo Shao was stunned when he saw it. The drum beat of "Knock ......" seems to echo the heartbeat of a person.
With the rhythm, the dancers approached the north again. Although the atmosphere tightened again, the generals did not move, after all, they were all people who had seen the wind and waves, and they would not be too calm.
…… Suddenly, a voice shouted almost with a crying voice: "General Guo, that person is an assassin!" ”
Suddenly, the lively dance seemed to freeze in the air for a moment, and everyone was surprised. Guo Shao followed the voice and glanced at it, and Zhou Xian's pale and painful face flashed through his mind. All the premeditation and arrangements in his mind vanished, and his mind was almost blank due to the sudden accident.
When it was too late, a woman suddenly jumped up, her figure was very agile and fast, as if a spring was installed under her feet...... For a while, Guo Shao even doubted that there was such a thing as light gong in the world.
The straps floated in the air, as if they were slow, but they were actually very fast. In less than a snap of her fingers, her toes touched the ground again, and her body fluttered again. Zhou Xian's shouting surprised people before, but the extent was still limited, and everyone was already shocked at this moment. "Ah......" There was a scream in the tent, and even the generals Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao stood up.
The woman's body is light and fast, and the focus of martial arts is completely different from the strength of the battle array martial arts, showing the martial arts that everyone is not familiar with. This kind of skill is not practical in battle formation, but it is obviously better than Wufu when stabbing!
Guo Shao reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the edge of the table, and was about to lift the board where the wine and meat were placed. At this moment, the side screen was overturned first, and a row of crossbowmen fired arrows directly at the woman, and then Lu Chengyong's shout was heard: "Release the arrow!" ”
The woman was only a few steps away from Guo Shao, but no matter how fast she was, she couldn't beat the crossbow arrow, and immediately retracted the blade of the flat finger sharply, and slashed at the flank, "Ding Ding Ding ......" sounded, and the crossbow arrow was knocked down a few times. But she still screamed in pain, and was hit by arrows in her arms and legs at the same time, and the right way is that no matter how high her swordsmanship is, she is afraid of random arrows.
The woman was hit by two arrows in the leg and couldn't jump, and the sword fell to the ground with a "bell", and the person knelt on one knee. Her eyes instantly shot a look of despair and anger.
Guo Shao didn't even lift the table, and sat there without moving during the whole process.
Dong Zunzhi was the first to be furious and said: "Bold thieves, take them all!" But Li Chuyun suddenly looked at Guo Shao with awe, and saw that he was sitting there very calmly, and even looked as if his face had not changed.
In fact, Guo Shao was about to lift the table to block it, and then draw his sword.
The generals in the big tent all looked at their superiors and forgot to speak for a while. Guo Shao saw that the assassin had been hit by an arrow, and he was also secretly relieved, and sat still. At this moment, Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao rushed towards this side and blocked in front of Guo Shao.
The ambushers behind the barriers on both sides quickly rushed out, surrounding the Assassin and all the dancing girls, and the frightened women screamed one after another.
Guo Shao was stunned, he was surprised not only by the assassin's action, but also by the warning that Zhou Xian had issued first. Everything was in chaos, and the original plan was to let Zhou Xian, who was coerced by the Jiangning Mansion, try to get rid of some involvement, but now it has become a complete mess.
Guo Shao hurriedly looked out of the gap in Li Chuyun Shi Yanchao's body, looking for Zhou Xian's figure.
