Chapter 27 Zhang Xiaotian VS Qi Xiao (1)

Qi Xiao secretly scolded Liu Mang in his heart at this time, you must know that the most important thing for people in this era is the love of master and servant, as a diner, you must be loyal to your master, and you will remain the same for life, and now Liu Mang forces himself to make a statement on this occasion, if he nods, he will inevitably be despised by others, and he can only take refuge in Liu Mang, in order to have a living space.

But now that he is difficult to ride a tiger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for your appreciation, how dare Qi disobey." ”

Everyone fell silent at this time and looked at the head of the He family.

After all, He is a person who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and laughed and said: "Qi Xiao, you must try your best to win glory for Hou Ye tonight, only win and not lose,

The implication is that if you lose, you don't have to mess around in Chang'an anymore.

At this time, Qi Xiao and Liu Mang glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

He was so shrewd, and the smugness revealed from their laughter immediately knew that there was something else in it,

At the same time, he looked at Mrs. Fen, who was bowing her head from the mantis.

Mrs. Fen naturally understood why the two of them were laughing so happily, and endless remorse suddenly surged in her heart, remembering the sad scene before Xiao Tian was humiliated, and hurriedly avoided the second seat on the left.

“！” The bell rings, reminding everyone to take their seats.

He was even more dissatisfied with Xiao Tian at this time, and secretly scolded He Miao for why he hadn't arrived yet. Nearly 1,000 relatives of the emperor and ministers and nobles have entered the table.

Eighty seats on both sides were crowded, ready to start the grandest palace dinner after the celebration banquet for the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. As soon as the people sat down,

Before Liu Wei arrived, Xiao Tian was under the protection of He Miao, with a wooden sword on his waist, and calmly walked into Ganquan Garden.

Everyone present had heard more or less that he had been carried out of Madame Fen's house this morning, and when they saw his arrival, none of them did not look at him carefully.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian's face was a little gray, everything was no different from his usual residence, and his sturdy bodybuilding was slightly taller than Qi Xiao, and he was indeed a heroic figure that women dreamed of.

At this time, Liu Mang exchanged glances with Qi Xiao beside him, and secretly laughed that Xiao Tian at this time was just strong on the outside, and he was not good looking.

Mrs. Fen couldn't help but peek at Zhang Xiaotian at this time, and tears of remorse secretly flowed in her heart, she hurt him like this,

Now there is no one in the whole city who does not know, how could he not understand? Will he still forgive himself?

I can't help but secretly hate myself for succumbing to Liu Mang's obscenity, but it's too late to regret it.

If Qi Xiao broke his promise and killed him, now only one death could clear his sin.

Seeing that he was still walking steadily, He Shi relaxed slightly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, come here." ”

Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly walked towards him.

Zhang Xiaotian sat down next to He Shu'er, she hurriedly leaned over and said, "Xiao Tian, you have nothing to do!" People are worried about dying,

You went to that slut's place last night. At the bottom of the seat, he pinched his thigh hard.

Zhang Xiaotian saw the delicacies on the long table, reached over and touched her thighs and chuckled: "How can you be so unconfident in me!" ”

He Shu'er was made soft by him, not only wanted him to be more presumptuous, but also was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, and he would be seen by others, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sat down, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian's five-fingered army finally retreated.

A tall and thin boy with a pale face who sat in the second seat next door turned his head and stared at Zhang Xiaotian, who was sitting in the back row of the third seat, full of provocation.

Zhang Xiaotian returned with cold eyes at this time, his eyes shot a cold light, the man did not back down and looked at him, and the warriors in the two seats in front of him immediately turned their heads and looked at each other angrily, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

“！”

The bell rang again, and at this moment the silk and bamboo sounded, and a band of ceremonies walked lightly, played and blow, led into the hall, and then dispersed to stand on both sides, and continued to play.

The man withdrew his gaze and looked at the front door.

Surrounded by concubines, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei walked into the palace accompanied by the Empress Dowager He, followed by more than 100 guards.

Half of them lined up to stand guard in the space behind the banquet, and only the other half followed Liu Wei to the main seat at the end of the hall.

Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty is immature, with a handsome face, clear eyebrows and eyes, but he is a little thin, his lips are not thick enough, and he has the taste of a miserable green boy.

On his head was the emperor's black crown, twelve of which were made of jade. On both sides of the crown, there is a hole in each of them, interspersed with jade pipes, and the two sides of the crown are tied with ribbons and knotted under the chin.

On the two ears of the ribbon, there is also a Zhu Yu named "Yun Er". It was not tucked into his ears, but just hung in his ears, giving him the majesty of a monarch.

The crown on the body is made of a black tunic and a vermilion bottom, and the upper and lower parts are painted with crests. In addition, there are knee covers, scarves, red legs, etc., which are gorgeous and extraordinary.

He walked to the main seat alone, Empress Dowager He and the concubines sat in the back three seats, and the guards were protected on both sides and in the rear, which did have the power of the lord of a country.

When they saw this, they immediately fell on their knees and waited for him to take their seats.

After Liu Wei sat down, he said in his immature voice: "Zhongqing's family is flat, please take a seat." ”

Everyone immediately chanted their congratulations and sat back on their seats. There are palace maids who pour wine for everyone.

Liu Wei raised his glass and said: "Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been settled, the world has returned to peace, and I will rely on all the ministers in the future to make contributions to my Han Dynasty, drink a cup of him." ”

Everyone cheered and drank happily, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Liu Wei suddenly stood up at this time, so frightened that everyone stood up one after another, and laughed: "This time the Yellow Turban can be successful,

Zhongqing is indispensable, but if there is no He family master to provide war horse food, the soldiers will not be able to fight the enemy bravely.

Then let us have a toast to the head of the He family together. ”

Everyone drank another cup, and the head of the He family was overjoyed and very happy at this time. Even Zhang Xiaotian, who originally looked down on him, was heartbroken,

People who are accustomed to being monarchs in the dark way are indeed different.

After Liu Wei invited everyone to sit down for dinner, his palms struck each other, making a crisp sound. The musicians who had retreated to both sides of the gate immediately began to play again.

A group of nearly 400 beautiful singers and dancers wearing tuxtail-shaped buns and various long gowns of light material sang and danced.

Make a variety of graceful gestures, which makes people fascinated. At this time, everyone high-fived and cheered.

Zhang Xiaotian watched the singing and dancing girls spit out fairy songs, their dancing posture was light and soft, and they were like gods, thinking of Shang Yin, who died tragically, if he defeated Qi Xiao, he would be able to get revenge, and he couldn't help but be ambitious.

"Shu'er's singing and dancing are better than theirs, and you must feast your eyes and ears when you have the opportunity." He Shu'er leaned into his ear and said proudly;

"You're not allowed to wear any clothes on you!" Zhang Xiaotian replied badly

He Shu'er immediately gave him a blank look, plus gave him a sweet smile.

Liu Mang and Qi Xiao, who were paying attention to He Shu'er, of course they were jealous.

The song and dance retreated, leaving behind a temple of fragrance. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Wei's body, waiting for his speech with bated breath.

At this time, in the huge palace, it was so quiet that the needle could be heard.

Liu Wei was alone in the dragon seat, looked around at the ministers, and sighed for a while: "My Han originally started with martial arts, and there were many famous generals, Emperor Guangwu and other sages,

When Wang Mang usurped power to establish a new dynasty, as a clan member of the Han family, he raised troops in Nanyang with his brother Liu Yan, and made immortal achievements.

If there is no military merit, no knighthood will be given, and if there is no such martial spirit, our country will have long since disappeared. ”

When they heard it, they said yes.

Emperor Shaodi of Han got carried away, his eyes naturally fell on Qi Xiao's body, and he said very happily: "I didn't expect that the little Qiang clan would have an invincible swordsman." ”

Qi Xiao hurriedly walked to the front of the banquet, knelt down and kowtowed: "The courtiers only have big men in their hearts now, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the courtiers will be ruined, and it is not a pity to die." ”

The head of the He family snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with his behavior of switching to Liu Mang's banner.

Liu Wei didn't know if it was influenced by Liu Mang or Empress Dowager He, so his attitude towards him changed greatly, and he said happily:

"Meritocracy, Qi Xiao, if you are willing to be loyal to my big man, the widow will definitely not treat you badly."

Qi Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed loudly.

Liu Wei shouted again: "Where is Xiao Tian?

"Xiao Tian, see Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Zhang Xiaotian smiled slightly, promised loudly, strode out, knelt down beside Qi Xiao, and said in a loud voice,

"With the strength of one person, you outwitted more than 1,000 horse thieves, and you were loyal and courageous, and in order to save the lives of your colleagues, you left behind to resist the enemy regardless of your own safety.

Promote my prestige as a man, and the widow admires you very much. ”

Liu Wei's eyes lit up at this time and said,

Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly expressed humility and gratitude, but secretly laughed in his heart that things were becoming more and more exaggerated.

"You two are the best among the people, this time the widow let you go to the palace to compete with swords, it is precisely because you need to set an example for our dynasty, carry forward the spirit of martial arts, so as to kill the enemy and serve the country."

Liu Wei smiled with satisfaction at this time,

"No!" The two responded in unison.

"The widow and all the secretaries present can't wait for the two to perform peerless swordsmanship, but we must remember that this is a competitive nature,

The point is stopped, and the victor is immediately appointed as the imperial guard, and can lead the army to the battle. ”

Liu Wei laughed and said,

At this time, Liu Mang gave Empress Dowager He a look, and Empress Dowager He nodded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a proposal." Liu Mang raised his voice

"Chen Liuhou, please speak." Liu Wei said:

"If Your Majesty stipulates that the competition will stop immediately, they will definitely not dare to disobey Your Majesty's orders, so they will shrink their hands and feet, I am afraid that it will be difficult to exert the power of swordsmanship, please think twice, please think twice."

Liu Mang stood up and said respectfully.

"Swords and guns have no eyes, if you accidentally injure someone's life, it won't be a happy event that becomes a sad event." Mrs. Fen was shocked when she heard this, and she stood up and said in a trembling voice:

"Imperial Aunt Liu Qing sit down quickly, the widow has his own measure."

Liu Wei glanced at Mrs. Fen strangely at this time and said
