Lu Bu roared loudly on the high platform, and Yan Xing and Cheng Lian in the audience could naturally hear his angry voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This time, after Cheng Lian regained his horse, he did not dare to attack again, but slapped his horse back in the roar of Lu Bu.

In the face of Lu Bu's invitation, before Yan Xing in the audience could speak out, everyone on the stage had already expressed their disgust at Lu Bu's behavior.

Li Ru said lightly behind his back:

"Lu Zhonglang will lose his temper!"

Guo Yan also lost no time in interjecting:

"Lu Zhonglang is afraid that he is drunk!"

Lu Bu calmed down from the violent state just now in the words of warning on the stage, and when he looked at Dong Zhuo's face again, he saw that he was also quite disappointed with Lu Bu's sudden gaffe and anger, Lu Bu's heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly turned around and apologized to Dong Zhuo again.

The displeasure in Dong Zhuo's heart naturally would not be shown at this time, and he did not blame Lu Bu for the gaffe, he laughed and asked Lu Bu to punish himself with a glass of wine, and then let Lu Bu sit down again.

Then, he sent someone to give the two brocade robes to Yan Xing and Cheng Lian, who had just competed under the stage, and also called Yan Xing, who had taken away the horse in Cheng Lian's hands three times, to the high platform again, and admired his amazing skills of empty-handed into the white blade, and personally gave three bottles of wine.

Looking at the burly Yan Xing, Dong Zhuo's eyes were also filled with appreciation, he turned his head to look at Li Ru, and asked in a loud voice:

"Since Yan Yanming's subordinates have already made military exploits in Hedong before, can all the rewards in the army be distributed?"

This is obviously to promote Yan Xing, Li Ru hurriedly continued:

"Xiangguo, the merits of the meritorious soldiers in the Battle of Hedong have been verified, and this Yan Junhou should be promoted to Sima of other departments!"

"Well, there is a saying in the art of war: 'The reward is not overdue, and the people want to get the benefits of doing good quickly.'" The punishment will not be moved, and the people will be harmed by the unkindness'. The meritorious soldiers under his command, the reward must not be delayed or lost, the Holy Son of Heaven is already approaching, these things must not be slackened! ”

"No!"

Dong Zhuo's officials and civil officials in the country's mansion replied in unison.

Dong Zhuo nodded hesitantly, looking at a group of civil and military henchmen under his command, thinking about the information about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and others that he had learned from various states and counties, he turned to let out a burst of laughter, as if the worries in his chest had also disappeared with the wind.

He raised the gold bottle and spoke generously:

"All the gentlemen are outstanding people in the world, both civil and military, I, Dong Zhongying, am fortunate to have the support of all the gentlemen, try to ask what can not be done in the world, and who in the world dares to disagree!"

The civil and military forces on the stage saw Dong Zhuo's chest bursting with pride and ambition, no matter what his true thoughts were, they all raised their glasses and invited Yashou together.

"Xiangguo Kuang supports the Han family, determines the danger and helps the difficulty, the order is like thunder, the world is salty, the wine is two liters, and the longevity is endless!"

···

In winter, the big reading in Shanglin Yuan came to an end in a congratulatory sound of "longevity".

And no matter what Dong Zhuo's own wishes were, the signs of imminent movement between the states and counties in the Kanto region have also turned into blatant flag-waving shouts, and a big storm is about to hit the government and the opposition in Luoyang.

In the midst of the snowflakes in winter, Luoyang City is about to usher in the resumption of the six-year Lari Festival of Zhongping.

Xu Shen said in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", "La, three days after the winter solstice, La's sacrifice to the gods." It means that Lari is the third day after the winter solstice, which is an ancient festival that can be traced back to the time of three generations, although it was abandoned at the time of the Qin Dynasty, but it flourished again in the Han Dynasty.

This dynasty attaches great importance to culture, education and filial piety, and will not only sacrifice to the gods in Lari, but also to sacrifice to the ancestors. And on the night before the arrival of the day of La, a large-scale exorcism ceremony will be carried out, and each household of the people will beat the drum to drive away the plague ghosts, called "expelling", and the palace and the house of the powerful will hold different scales of the "Dawu chasing the epidemic" ceremony, praying to the heavens for eternal wealth and prosperity, no disease and no disaster.

Yan Xing was promoted to Sima of other departments because of his merits, although he was still under the command of Xu Rong, but he was able to stand alone in the real sense of the word, and tonight, a ceremony to drive away the Wu would also be held in his camp.

The ritual of expelling the Wu is the largest in the palace, and the steps are divided into advocacy first, then love, and then the epidemic. The step of advocating is to select the children of the Zhonghuangmen in the palace who are over 10 years old, under 12 years old, and 120 people as servants, with their heads wrapped in red curtains, wearing soap clothes, holding big mosses, and singing the "Song of the Twelve Divine Beasts".

The steps of Ai are played by the Fang Xiang clan of the Golden Four Eyes, who is covered in bear skin, Xuanyi and Zhu Clothes, and expels the evil ghosts in the forbidden, cheers and dances with the twelve divine beasts, and patrols the front and rear palace provinces three times.

And the final step of the epidemic is to gather the banners that represent evil ghosts and epidemic ghosts together, burn them, light the torch, send people to send the epidemic out of the end gate, and there are donkey horsemen outside the door to pass the torch out of the palace, and outside the palace gate, there are knights specially sent by the five battalions of the Northern Army to spread the fire one after another, and finally throw the torch representing the epidemic ghost into Luoshui.

This set of cumbersome large-scale "Da Da" ceremonies in the palace is naturally not suitable for use in the army, but there is still a set of simplified rituals in the army that can be applied.

As the drums of Dong Zhuo's main camp began to sound, the drums of the other camps also sounded according to the order and rhythm, and they each started the ritual of driving the camp in the camp.

Fang Xiangshen, the god of warding off the epidemic and warding off evil spirits, is to select the majestic people in the camp to play, and even the candidates with the twelve divine beasts are also selected to serve as sharp soldiers in the army.

The expulsion ceremony was presided over by Yan Xing himself, about the candidate of Fang Xiangshen, Yan Xing finally chose Ma Lin to come to serve, Ma Lin was in a stout and righteous spirit, and he was also quite popular in the army, just by him led the twelve sharp soldiers, cheered and danced, patrolled the military camp, and expelled the plague ghosts.

Ma Lin faced Fei Lian in front of him, wearing a crimson battle robe, wearing armor, holding a long ge, singing and dancing with the other twelve sharp soldiers, running around the barracks, and finally came to the front of the military tent where Yan Xing was, where not only many military officials and soldiers had been waiting in formation, but also the guards who temporarily acted as servants built bonfires and sang the songs of the twelve divine beasts.

"A is a fierce eater, a hungry eater, a male is a charmer, and he is to blame for all food,

Birch eats dreams, dies and parasitizes, entrusts with the concept of food, and eats by mistake,

······”

Jiazuo, Sulfita, Xiongbo, Tengjian, Lanzhu, Birch, Qiangliang, Zuming, Entrustment, Wrong Judgment, Qiqi, Tenggen, these twelve divine beasts, are all legendary beasts that can eat all kinds of evil ghosts and diseases.

In the sound of drums, with the completion of a song of twelve divine beasts, Ma Lin and twelve sharp soldiers threw the cloth representing the evil ghost into the bonfire, cheered and danced again, and the Feilian knight who was waiting on the side soon lit the torch on the bonfire, held the torch high, rode out of the camp, joined the cavalry sent by the other camps, and threw the torch into Luoshui together.

And Yan Xing, who presided over the exorcism ceremony, also had to bow and pray to the hundred gods at the end.

"I sincerely pray to the emperor and the gods of the Quartet, bless the soldiers in my camp, be healthy, and be swept away!"

After the prayer, the officers and men of the battalion cheered in unison, and this expulsion ceremony in the army was completed.

On the eve of the lunar day, the food in the army was also the most abundant, not only was there meat in each battalion, but also everyone could get some wine to satisfy their hunger.

Yan Xing had fun with the soldiers, and originally planned to have a big pot meal with the soldiers, but he had just summoned Ma Lin, Xu Huang, Yan Xing and others who had taken off their costumes, when he heard the sound of the big cow coming to report.

"Sima, Xu Jun is visiting!"

"Okay, I see, please come here!"

When Yan Xing heard this, he also knew in his heart that it was Xu Kun who came, and since Yan Xing was promoted to Sima of other departments, the camp was also moved from the small camp where he was originally stationed to set up another camp. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Kun was free, he ran to Yan Xing's camp, and he always came to find Yan Xing at the end of three days.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing thought of Zhou Liang again, he, the scribe in his own camp, but every time he had a break, he had to rush to the home that was temporarily settled outside Luoyang City, and this time the exorcism ceremony was no exception, Yan Xing knew that he was still thinking about his wife and children at home, so he shared his share of wine and meat early, and let him go home early to reunite with his family.

Thinking about things in his heart, Yan Xing's thoughts had not yet been collected when he heard Xu Kun's voice from afar.

"Yanming, since you were promoted to Sima of other departments, this camp is separated by a distance, and it is really difficult to meet you!"

"Ziyu, have you done anything in your camp, and you still came to my side at this time, aren't you afraid that General Xu will send someone to call you back later!"

"Tonight, Dong Xiangguo is feasting guests in the mansion in Luoyang City, my uncle has already gone to the banquet, and the battalion has its own military officials to handle it, but it is you, this official position has been promoted, but this matter is still so much, it is rare to be so busy in peacetime, if the sword soldiers rise again in the coming year, it will not be busy with you!"

When Xu Kun talked about the resurgence of the sword soldiers, Yan Xing couldn't help but think of the news that had been rumored about the intention of the county in Kwantung Prefecture, but he was afraid that at this time, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were also inspecting the military camp and feasting on the soldiers.

At this time, Xu Kun's voice sounded in his ears again.

"What are you thinking, let's go, I'll take you to have some fun!"

After speaking, Xu Kun grabbed Yan Xing's wrist and was about to pull him away, Yan Xing hurriedly stabilized his body and said with a wry smile:

"What time is this, there will be curfew at night, and if you go out, you might as well stay in my camp and eat with the soldiers!"

"Hey, if you don't say that you are boring, where can the little wine that was rewarded get into my mouth, let's go, if you go with me, this time I will tell you something, which is what you most often inquire about, about the Kanto Prefecture!"

Xu Kun grinned, looked at Yan Xing temptingly, the strength in his hand increased, and he pulled Yan Xing out, Yan Xing thought that he said something about Kanto, and couldn't help but feel his heart move, and couldn't help but follow Xu Kun's steps, and said:

"Where do I always ask, what is the matter?"

"Eh, in the past, you used to talk from me, and this time I will also use your words first."

Hearing this, Yan Xing subconsciously paused, and the light in his eyes flashed.
