Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 9 Banquet Guests

、、、、、、、

In fact, there are still many tribes who are still waiting to see the arrival of the Dzungars, and most of the tribes who arrived in advance are friends with Lingyun's generation, and some tribes that are really weak have also sent people to show friendship. The co-ordination of the two princes of Kurteng as the proprietor, the joint arrival of the two princes of Suotu and Sak, and the fact that the crown prince of Lingyun personally presided over the affairs of the alliance, brought infinite attraction to this grand event.

However, the Dzungars who had agreed to the alliance were nowhere to be found, which made Feng Wuxian extremely uneasy. Among the steppe men, the natural boldness is the majority, but there is also no lack of that insidious and cunning type, and in all the previous battles, only the Dzungars gave the Lingyun court the biggest lesson. These people are capricious, and successive monarchs have never been able to wipe them out, so this problem has remained to this day. Only at the beginning of the current emperor's succession to the throne, he once fought a beautiful victory, which almost wiped out the Dzungar department. Unexpectedly, now they have recovered their vitality, and they even did not hesitate to provoke the Central Plains again.

However, Feng Wuji's mission this time is not a problem for Dzungaria, but to stabilize the many tribes of southern Mongolia. In the emperor's mind, the Moxi Mongol tribes often killed each other, and because of the yearning for the Central Plains culture, the descendants of the Han and Mongolian intermarriages have also spread all over the grassland, which can barely be regarded as their own race. Even the emperor himself had the blood of the Kurten tribe of the Golden Clan, so it was undoubtedly the emperor's first priority to include all these powerful tribes and the lands under their jurisdiction in Lingyun's territory.

Lai Shan had already learned the news of the emperor's marriage, and although there was a difference between him and Feng Fan'a in terms of seniority, he didn't care about it. On the steppe. As long as you have the strength, it doesn't matter if you snatch the feuding wife, not to mention that Feng Fan'a is only nominally related to him.

Despite being over fifty years old. But Lai Shan's body is much healthier than that of the old man in the Central Plains, and his face is full of redness. Speaking like a bell, it was actually a posture with his nephew Baktu. In Lai Shan's opinion, a warrior like him was naturally worthy of a noble girl like Feng Fan'a, so he just glanced at the woman inside through the curtain, and he went to prepare the evening feast with satisfaction.

The party was particularly lively on this night. In order to show his courtesy to the distinguished guests, Lai Shan ordered people to prepare a whole sheep banquet early, which was piled with fine wine and various dairy products. After the wind sat down without a trace, Lai Shan personally offered mare's milk wine with the highest etiquette of the tribe. This custom was taught by Yu Rongqi before leaving Beijing, so after he took the bowl with both hands, he dipped the ring finger of his right hand in wine and flicked it three times in the air to show his respect for heaven, earth, gods and master.

Lai Shan was obviously very satisfied with Feng Wuxi's actions, and immediately high-fived him three times, only to see more than a dozen brightly dressed charming girls singing and dancing, and the girl led by him was born with bright eyes and bright teeth. But it is a little more innocent and bold than the Central Plains girl. She held a bowl of wine, sang a beautiful toast, and danced around the wind without a trace. Although I have been prepared for a long time. But the girl's almost flirtatious attitude still made Feng Wuxian a little embarrassed, and her face was slightly red.

At the end of the song, he took the bowl from the girl's hand as if he had been pardoned, and drank it all in one gulp. The liquor choked on his throat. But he didn't dare to show his abnormality at all. The Mongol men all had such a habit of drinking, and how could he dare to make people look down on such a subsection, so after the toast was sung, and the other two princes and a group of nobles were frequently persuaded to drink, he poured more than a dozen bowls of spirits almost in a daze. Fortunately, he had already tried it when he was in the capital, although the Nine Refining Yin Yang Gang had no other effect, but the effect of hangover was first-class, so he went in and out at the same time, but no one noticed it, but his throat was already spicy and hoarse.

At this time, Lai Shancai ordered people to put a large wooden plate on the table of the whole sheep, only to see the sheep lying on the plate, the neck of the sheep tied with a red ribbon, after the wind without a trace to watch, he let the whole sheep be carried to the center of the crowd, a shirtless wrestler holding a bright sharp knife, quickly cut up, and stacked neatly, and cut off a little from each piece of meat and put it on the head of the sheep. After these steps were completed, he saw a loud roar, knelt down on one knee in a few steps, and held the whole wooden plate high, with the sheep's head facing upwards and lifting it towards the wind without a trace. So, Feng Wuxian took small pieces of meat from the sheep's head in turn and tasted them, and looked at Lai Shan with a smile to show his respect for his master.

After this tedious set of rituals, the people began to enjoy the whole sheep feast. Of course, according to the ancient custom, sheep tails and shanks are not allowed to be eaten, and must be given back to the owner. However, among these people who followed Feng Wuxi, the old man of the Li Fan Yuan Shang Yu Rong Period naturally only ate two pieces with a slight hand and stopped using them, and Feng Wuxian was also used to being trained since he was a child, so it was impossible for him to learn from those bold men to feast. Xiao Yunchao couldn't stand the fishy breath, and reluctantly sent it into his mouth piece by piece.

Therefore, the people who ate the most at the table were Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng and their subordinates. Although they were not qualified to attend, out of respect for Sergeant Lingyun, and Lai Shan had a good impression of these two generals, they invited them to come together, and Feng Wuxian was also happy to let them act as guards, and Lai Shan agreed as soon as he proposed.

After a few rounds of toasting, the group of girls changed their costumes and came up to sing and dance, although these grassland women are not as beautiful as the Central Plains, but they have less fat powder breath, more water and soil nourished Lingxiu, all of them are full of a beautiful style. Xiao Yunchao had already put down the wine bowl in his hand, he had also drunk a lot, and his eyes were full of lust aroused by the liquor beauty. Even old men like Yu Rongqi were difficult to restrain themselves, after all, such passionate and unrestrained dances could never be appreciated in the capital, but he still tried his best to restrain himself, constantly brushing his beard with his hands.

Lai Shan looked at the uncontrollable appearance of these powerful people in the DPRK and China with a smile, and he was extremely proud in his heart.

What kind of sanctimonious appearance, sitting in a precarious position, and encountering a beautiful woman are not the same as the original form? There are many people in the tribe, how many girls with attractive looks are there, and they are afraid that these people will not take the bait? He couldn't help frowning when he saw that Feng Wuxian on the other side was still smiling and enjoying the song and dance, this preparation was for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if he couldn't attract him, then everything would be in vain. Thinking of this, he quietly made a gesture to the girl who was leading the dance.

The girl nodded in understanding, and sure enough, the tune suddenly became more rapid and unrestrained, and the posture of the group of dancing girls suddenly became more sultry. Rao is wind without a trace at first forced himself to suppress his mind, and at this time his breath was also a little rough. Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng were completely stunned, although they had enjoyed all the gentleness before, but this time they watched this kind of glamorous dance, they still couldn't help themselves. On the contrary, the men of all ethnic groups, who were accustomed to such hot dances, just applauded loudly, and still poured bowls of wine into their stomachs. Everyone knows that Prince Kulteng is generous, and there must be beautiful women to sleep in the future, so why should they fight with those powerful people in the DPRK and China?

At the end of the song, the banquet was already a mess of cups and plates, and only the skeleton was left of the roasted sheep, and the VIPs were also quite staggering. Lai Shan took advantage of the situation to get up and ordered in a deep voice: "You are all distinguished guests of my Kurteng Department, and the journey is tiring today, and this king has prepared a tent for you to rest. Come and lead the way for all distinguished guests. ”

Feng Wuxian and Xiao Yunchao and the others were still standing still, Lai Shan had already sent someone to order them to stay for a while, so even if they were already a little dizzy from drinking, they had to hold on for a while. After Lai treated the guests of the other departments and left, he walked up to Feng Wuxian with a smile, pointed to the girls who had not yet retreated, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Xiao, Lord Yu, how is it, the hospitality of my Kurten Ministry is quite thorough?" ”

This sentence was very ambiguous, and Feng Wuxian was stunned for a moment, but Xiao Yunchao spoke first:

"The prince is gracious, and we will naturally pay respects. The grassland style is very different from the Central Plains, and this time it can be regarded as a real appreciation. Yu Rongqi glanced at the uncle dissatisfied, obviously dissatisfied with him interjecting before the wind was traceless. However, this time, even he himself was stunned, and he completely lost the posture of Taoism in the past, so it was difficult to say anything.

Feng Wuxian came to his senses, and when he saw Lai Shan's smug look, he couldn't help but praise: "The singing and dancing in the Central Plains is full of fat powder, but it is not like this grassland girl, even if it is a song and dance, it can be killed, and it is worthy of being a Kurten who is good at riding and shooting." Today, I think the prince must have spent a lot of effort on his side, and loneliness can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”

Lai Shan is a rough man, although he also learned words in order to admire the culture of the Central Plains, but he doesn't know much about such hidden words, so he just laughed for a while and covered up the past, but he was really puzzled in his heart. He casually beckoned to the girl who was leading the dance, "Yana, come here to see Your Highness!" I saw the girl hurrying over and curtsied, "Yana greets His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Lai Shan was puzzled when he saw Feng Wuxi, so he explained with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Yana is Xiao Wang's long-lost beloved daughter, and after her mother passed away a while ago, she only found this place with a token, so she has not given her the identity of the county lord. He glanced at his daughter lovingly, and continued, "This time she shouldn't have come out to dance, but she said that she admired the Celestial Empire and wanted to come to have a good time, so Xiao Wang couldn't help it, so she had to go with her." ”

Feng Wuxian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the girl's dark eyes were always glancing towards him.

He didn't expect that this woman was the result of Lai Shan's affair outside, and this Prince Kurten was so unshy about it, and he was replaced by other officials of the imperial court, I am afraid that she would not even have a chance to recognize her.

"The reunion of the prince's father and daughter is really a blessing. However, has the prince never looked for their mother and daughter? Although he knew that this was a bit inappropriate, Feng Wuxian still asked, after all, this Yana County Lord came to the door at this time, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

"That's a long story!" Lai Shan let out a long sigh, with a strange look in his eyes, "But this is not the place to speak, Xiao Wang has already prepared a camp tent for His Royal Highness the Prince, how about moving over there?" "Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 8 Xinjun Chapter 9 Banquet Guests
