Chapter 153: The Wine Banquet
Among the princes, the southern princes are the strongest, and most of the soldiers and tribes who accompanied King Huan to conquer the world at the beginning were divided into the south, while in the north there were many lords of the Fang country who took refuge after the destruction of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
These Fang countries that took refuge in them are basically small countries with clans and tribes as the system, separated by a big river, it is difficult for Dahuan to effectively manage and control them, and what supports the entire Dahuan is naturally the Qing clan, witch sacrifices, shamans and southern princes under the Dahuan system.
There were often melee battles between princes, Fang countries, and tribes, and over the decades, some countries perished, and new countries were born in them, and some new clans and tribes were constantly born, and migrated to the north, and the subject states of the Dahuan Dynasty were also constantly changing.
This time, the lords of the large and small states and tribes who came to pay tribute have now exceeded a thousand people, and you can know the complexity of the current internal situation in Dahuan, plus the people they brought here, the entire Xun has become lively and crowded.
Jia Guobo and Qingguo Marquis are the founding princes, perennial in the south, this time the king called to come to Wangji, three princes from the south across thousands of miles, after meeting King Huan, were arranged to live in Lichi.
Retiro belongs to the palace where the king lived when the palace was built, although the whole is not as majestic as the palace, but it is extremely luxurious, and it is not open to the public on weekdays, and only the most distinguished guests will be arranged here when they arrive in Wanggi.
And at the moment, a grand banquet is being held here.
The person who held the banquet was naturally Qingyang, the Marquis of Qingguo, and the participants were some of the Dahuan nobles familiar with Qingyang, decades have passed, in this era when the average life expectancy is not long, there are not many people left who know them, and there are many old men who come to participate, with their children and descendants.
More than a dozen musicians are holding black Tao Xun and playing, and several female musicians behind them are holding copper hammers, carefully beating the chimes, and in the center of the hall, there are women from the northern Fang Kingdom, playing the long piano that has fallen out of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
The guests were intoxicated by the melodious music, the aroma of wine was wanton, and the shape of the wandering wreck.
Fang Xiu sat in front of a beautiful desk, behind him was a row of pillars painted with red paint, and the spacious hall was covered with red cloth and printed patterns.
Next to him was a lady dressed in light white and plain to help him pour wine, there was broth in the copper tripod on the table, but Fang Xiu didn't take a sip, just interested in the wine of Naxundu.
The white pottery cup of the wine cup, the pattern of natural firing, the white is pure, and the knock makes a crisp sound, and the clear wine is said to be the wine rewarded by King Huan, and it is only used for sacrifices on weekdays.
Fang Xiu lay in the arms of the female concubine without any image, holding the wine glass one after another, watching the songs and dances on the stage change one song after another.
Because Fang Xiu was arranged to sit at the front, opposite Jia Yi and Teng Guozhu Sheng, the people who were left in the mountain and sea realm last time were already gray-haired at the moment, revealing an old state.
The people below were all talking about Fang Xiu's identity, and some people recognized Fang Xiu as the master of the Xundu Academy, but most of the people present didn't know who Fang Xiu was and why he was able to sit in that position.
After several big men painted into the appearance of witch sacrifices, holding weapons in their hands and performing a fighting scene in the venue, the atmosphere of the banquet was high and entered a climax, and Qingyang, who was on the top, suddenly looked at Fang Xiu.
"I heard that Master Feng went up to astronomy and geography, traveled between ancient and modern times, traveled all over the mountains and seas, I don't know if I can show it here today!"
As soon as the Marquis of Qingguo opened his mouth, he saw that all the guests in the audience looked at Fang Xiu, especially some young magnates in Xundu, who also wanted to see what this man who looked about the same age as them, the legendary Xundu Xuegong Master, had any ability.
Fang Xiu, who was indulging in the wine-scented nephrite, suddenly opened his slightly squinted eyes, but the wine glass between his two fingers did not mean to put it down in the slightest, looking at Qingyang's playful eyes, he knew that this guy wanted to tease himself.
Even Jia Yi on the other side clapped his hands with laughter and shouted, "Okay, good!
Fang Xiu's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Since this is the case, how about I give Qingguo Hou a beauty who captivates the country and the city?"
Jia Yi was stunned: "Where is the beauty?"
Fang Xiu sat up straight: "Look at me, I'll invite a beauty!"
Fang Xu took out a piece of rune paper from his arms, cut out a human figure with hand scissors, and blew a breath, and immediately saw a white shadow blow from Fang Xiu's mouth into the rune paper.
The rune paper rose with the wind, floating in the air, and instantly transformed into a beautiful woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and jade bones.
She was wearing a light and wing-like gauze robe, the gauze was heavily overlapped, the translucent gauze was embroidered with phoenix patterns, and a pair of eyes under the willow eyebrows swept like autumn water, so that the men present couldn't help but feel soft all over their bodies, and even the women showed jealous eyes.
The banquet suddenly became more and more hot, many people applauded, and even the officials in the audience recorded this scene.
Illusions are not strange, but they are like subtle and delicate illusions, and even witches and monks cannot easily see through them, and they can be called superb.
However, this was not the end of the matter, Fang Xiu picked up the wine in the wine glass and poured it into the air.
"Catch the sword!"
The wine condensed in the air and turned into a gorgeous sword, which fell into the hands of the beauties who captivated the country and the city.
The beauty dances the sword, accompanied by the sound of music, rising under the beating of the chime, the sword light shuttles, like the shadow of the bright moon, and the feather coat is fluttering, just like the fairy of the heavenly palace in the painting walked down.
The guests in the audience all looked straight in the eyes, as if they were completely fascinated by the woman at this moment.
Even the Qingguo Marquis on the stage couldn't help but applaud: "It's really ...... What an illusion!"
And at this moment, the woman suddenly put away her sword, looked at Qingguohou on the stage, jumped up like a gust of wind, and walked towards Qingguohou with her sword.
This sword, like a flying immortal outside the sky, the cold sword light scattered from his palm, illuminating the entire hall, aimed at Qingguohou stabbed, the sword light passed through Qingguohou's ear, and a strand of long hair fell.
"Not an illusion?"
Qingyang was stunned all of a sudden, stretched out his hand and grabbed the long sword, shook his hand, and saw that he took off the long sword, and pressed the table with his other hand, and a strong wave hit out, and a gust of wind hung in the entire hall.
And the beauty with the sword turned over and was directly shocked, even so, it did not dissipate.
At this moment, not only Qingyang, but even Jia Yi, the witch priests, and the wizards present were stunned, and they stood up all of a sudden, looking at Fang Xiu, not understanding what kind of means this was, and even more daring and overwhelmed Fang Xiu.
"Hahahaha!"
"Qingguohou, I don't know how my beauty is?"
And at this time, Fang Xiu, who was lying in the arms of the female concubine, suddenly laughed wantonly.
Reaching out, with a flick of his long sleeves, he saw that the beauty had finally turned into a paper figure, and the spirit ghost attached to it was also taken back by Fang Xiu and fell into Fang Xiu's sleeve.
And the long sword in Qingyang's hand finally turned into a puddle of wine and melted on the ground.
At this time, Jia Guobo on the opposite side also laughed together, let go of his left and right hugs, and searched his hands: "Qingguohou!
Qingyang smiled dumbly, and unconsciously high-fived: "Feng Fuzi is really a good means!"
"Come! for Master Feng! and drink for the beauty he gave me!
At this moment, the sluggish crowd suddenly laughed together.
In the evening, the banquet was dispersed, and the candles were lit in the lobby, and the lights inside were bright, leaving only Xiu, Jia Yi, Qingyang, and Tengsheng four people.
Fang Xiu and Qingyang chatted a few words, Qingyang laughed a few words about Fang Xiu's being a master in Xundu, and Fang Xiu laughed at Qingyang's embarrassment just now.
Then, Fang Xiu looked at Jia Yi: "Jia Guobo, you really dare to come over!"
In the Mountains and Seas Realm, they all use the identities and titles used by each of them to address each other.
Jia Yi didn't understand what Fang Xiu was talking about: "Why don't you dare to come?"
Fang Xiu laughed, as if there was a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, and said dimly with a wine glass: "Three months ago, Xundu sacrificed to the witch god, I saw the big witch sacrifice standing on the stage from a distance, guess who, I saw?"
Jia Yi: "Who?"
Fang Xiu glanced at Jia Yi playfully, and the corners of his mouth pursed: "Of course, the person you are most worried about bubbling into." ”
Jia Yi and Qingyang, who were originally leisurely and relaxed, changed their faces slightly in an instant, and as soon as Fang Xiu said this, of course the two of them understood who he was talking about.
Qingyang immediately sat up straight, and Jia Yi put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Qingyun old thief?"
"Sanyangguan Qingyun Daoist, he is also in Xundu?"
"We are all in Xundu, why can't he also be in Xundu!"
Qingyang and Jia Yi's faces changed greatly, they couldn't say that they were afraid of this enemy, but they could be said to be extremely fearful.
