Chapter 232: Assassination at the banquet
"No courtesy."
"Thank you, Lord Wu." When the two of them heard this, they raised their heads, but who knew that Jiang Huan had just raised his head, and he met King Wu's fox-like eyes.
When King Wu heard the familiar voice, he stared at Jiang Huan directly. It looked like it was going to stare him out. Jiang Huan saw him looking at him like this, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Baili Ao on the side saw that Jiang Huan's expression was wrong, and touched his elbow with his hand, and he reminded softly, "There is the medicine that Benjun gave you, he won't recognize you, so don't worry." β
"I see." After hearing this, Jiang Huan said with a smile on his face, "When our lord learned about the birthday of His Royal Highness King Wu, he gave a generous gift to His Highness, and I hope His Highness can like it." β
When King Wu heard what Jiang Huan said, he recovered from his fugue, and he said, "Since it was sent by King Yue, it must be excellent, so bring it up." β
"Yes." Jiang Huan pursed his lips slightly, and then took out a delicate wooden box from his arms. King Wu looked at the wooden box in Jiang Huan's hand, a trace of unclear emotion flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the eunuch next to him, and said, "Go and get it." β
"No." The eunuch nodded and walked in front of Jiang Huan. He took the box in Jiang Huan's hand and handed it to King Wu.
King Wu glanced at the wooden box, and then opened it. Immediately, the contents of the box appeared in front of him, and he raised his eyes and said, "This is?" β
"This is a glass bead given to the lord of the country by the lord of our country, and I hope the lord of the country likes it." Baili Ao chuckled.
Since everyone said so, King Wu naturally didn't say much, he said with a smile, "The gift given by the lord of the Yue Kingdom, Gu likes it very much." The banquet is about to begin, and the two envoys are not standing, so please take a seat. β
"King Xie Wu." Bai Li Ao and the two said, and looked around. When he saw An Yi, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he walked over quickly.
When An Yi saw Jiang Huan, a trace of boredom flashed between his eyebrows, but because everyone was there, he had to break his silver teeth and swallow it. As for Jiang Huan, he glanced at An Yi, who was dissatisfied, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and then sat next to An Yi.
The eunuch beside King Wu saw that everyone was coming, and sang loudly, "Feast!" β
The words landed, and the palace maid next to them put plates of exquisite delicacies on their tables. Then, a group of women in dance costumes walked in.
When the music played, their bodies gently turned to the music, their long skirts spread out, and they danced like flower fairies, beautiful and moving.
Bai Li Ao looked at Mai Ji, the tiredness on his face was even worse, and he muttered quietly, "It's boring." β
Jiang Huan next to him heard what Bai Liao said, a hint of a smile slipped across his face, and he nodded, "It's really boring." β
Jiang Huan is like Baili Ao, he doesn't like those lively places, at this moment, he can't wait for this annoying banquet to end quickly, and then go back to his room to rest.
But this is impossible.
Just when Jiang Huan was drowsy, he saw that the dancing girl who was originally dancing suddenly stopped her movements, and then, a dancing girl flew out of the crowd, she held a sharp blade, and stabbed King Wu in the chest, "Wu Zhen, you colluded with Chen Guo to subvert my Qi Kingdom together, such a great feud will never be forgotten." Today's birthday is the date of your death. I want you to take your life for the thousands of soldiers of my Qi country.! β
Wu Zhen, who was sitting on the big seat, saw that someone was stabbing him at this banquet, and his face showed a frightened look, and he said loudly, "Come on, escort, escort!" β
At the banquet of the lord of the country, those guards with knives are not qualified to enter. Therefore, even if Wu Zhen broke his throat, no one could rush here quickly for a while.
The ministers sitting at the banquet were all civil officials, and none of them were good at fighting people. In other words, he was good at fighting and didn't want to get involved in King Wu's housework, so he ate and drank tea there leisurely. These ministers have really responded to the sentence, "It's none of your business, hang high." β
But the assassination of this dancing girl was not successful, because the little eunuch next to Wu Zhen also escaped when the dancing girl fled.
When the eunuch had escaped, he went to the guard guarding the door. When those guards heard what the eunuch said, how could they dare to delay for half a minute? They rushed to the house and grabbed the dancing girl who was trying to assassinate her.
Wu Zhen walked down from the stage, he pinched the man's jaw, and said condescendingly, "Say, who sent you!" β
Even if the dancing girl has the ability, she is also a daughter, and her strength is naturally different. So even if she wanted to escape the constraints, there was no way. She held back her hatred and said coldly, "Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." β
Wu Zhen saw that the woman refused to tell the truth, and the anger on his face was even worse, he slapped the woman hard, and then said, "Someone!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several guards walk in from the door, and they bowed their hands, "My subordinates are here." β
Wu Zhen glanced at Wu Ji and said with a mocking expression, "Put this guy who intends to assassinate me on death row, and I must force the commander out of me!" β
"Yes!" The two of them arched their hands in tacit understanding, and then restrained the man left and right, and took her away from here. When the woman was taken away, she was still scolding, which made the courtiers of Wu who sat down again unhappy.
Wu Zhen saw that the dancing girl was taken down, his face slowly returned to normal, and he said apologetically, "I feel very guilty about this kind of bad person at the banquet. Here, I would like to say sorry to all the ministers. As compensation, the lonely meeting will ask the palace maid to send some strange things to the adults. This time, because of this person, the banquet had to be held on an auspicious day. You might as well stay here for a few more days, and then experience the customs and customs of my Wu country? β
Hearing what Wu Zhen said, the faces of the people present were a little dark. They are not stupid, why can't they hear that this Wu is really threatening them? But at the moment, they were sitting on someone else's turf. Even if he wants to make trouble, he will not be naΓ―ve enough to embarrass Wu Zhen, the king, in front of the minister of Wu State.
They walked out of their positions and said respectfully, "King Wu is warmly invited, where do we have no reason to refuse?" In the past few days, I have been tired of the lord of Wu. β
Wu Zhen squinted slightly when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, and then wondered in his heart which country sent this person.
But he thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of where this person came from. But I couldn't think of it, and I still had to say it, so I saw him say with a smile, "What did the envoy say?" You are all envoys to my kingdom of Wu, and I am a monarch, so naturally I should entertain you well. β
