Huan was silent for a long time, Li Department glanced at him, and smiled a little humbly, it's not too early now, I want to change clothes, you go first! ”

"Retire!"

Zhang Huan bowed and bowed slowly, looking at Zhang Huan's distant back, Li Department's eyes were full of disappointment, the Zhang family actually gave up on Zhang Huan, which he never expected, so what about himself?

Zhang Huan left the inner palace and walked quickly to the outside of the palace, just now the head of the Jinyang Palace had already proposed to summon the three major music workshops to perform, and the appearance of the Lanling Music Workshop was inevitable.

Of course, with his current status, he can completely keep Lanling Le Fang out of the palace for safety reasons, but Zhang Huan doesn't want to do this, he wants to see what kind of person is the person who made him miscalculate?

There have been three or four carriages outside the Jinyang Palace, this is the arrival of the people of the Western Jin Dynasty Music Fang, the West Jin Dynasty Music Fang is the head of last year's music meeting, this year ranked second, the Jinyang Palace has already greeted them, ready to perform for the emperor.

The carriage stopped, and dozens of dancers and musicians wearing heavy makeup came out of the carriage, all wearing translucent gauze skirts, and the other carriage was loaded with musical instruments and dance clothes, and a few handymen struggled to carry them out of the carriage.

"What kind of people are these Le Fang?"

When Zhang Huan was away, it was his deputy general He Lou Wuji who led the Tiancai battalion, he took out a booklet, looked at the flag on the carriage, and said: "Report to the general, this is the person from the Western Jin Dynasty Music Fang." ”

Zhang Huan nodded and said, "Go and tell the brothers that those who come to perform today must be strictly inspected, especially their musical instruments." There is no room for carelessness. ”

He Lou Wuji responded. Immediately led the soldiers to meet the inspection, especially the musical instruments, which were inspected meticulously.

"Brother Zhang is a little too nervous!" At some point, Zhu Zhu appeared behind him, and when he saw that the soldiers of the Tianqi camp were inspecting very carefully, and even those dancing girls had to search their bodies, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. However, this worry disappeared the moment Zhang Huan turned his head, and he stepped forward and patted Zhang Huan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just some folk artists, and it's not for Your Majesty to sleep." There's no need to make such a fuss. ”

Zhang Huan glanced at him. He smiled casually: "I also know that it's not a big deal, but it's good to have a routine checkup." ”

As he spoke, his gaze turned into the distance again. I saw six more carriages speeding forward, with a green pennant on the carriage, and when they gradually approached, Zhang Huan saw clearly the words on the flag, which was the word 'Lanling'.

"Brother Zhu. This seems to be the leader of this year's music party! ”

Zhu Jun shook his head, "I don't know. ”

The carriage stopped not far away. Fifty or sixty dancers and musicians also came down from the carriage, all of them were wearing red ground skirts, and the number was twice as large as that of the previous Sanjin Orchestra, and it could be seen that they were all very excited, and Yingying Yanyan was laughing constantly.

From the last carriage came two men, both of whom were of the same figure and appearance, a pair of sisters, both of them with snow-white skin and delicate expressions, and very beautiful in their births, but their dazzling costumes, one shining with gold and the other with silver scales, were eye-catching.

"These twin sisters are the pillars of Lanling Music Fang, it is said that one is called Jin Si Ji and the other is Yin Si Ji, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and has a good pipe."

Zhu Jun saw that Zhang Huandi's eyes were attracted, and he couldn't help but smile ambiguously: "If Brother Zhang is interested, how about I let them accompany you for a night?" ”

Zhang Huan smiled faintly, "Isn't Brother Zhu unaware of the situation in Lanling Music Workshop?" ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Zhu Jun's expression and walked forward quickly.

"How many of them are there?"

"General, there are sixty-nine of them, excluding six miscellaneous servants and one steward, but the venue is actually sixty-two."

Zhang Huan nodded, and his eyes looked at the seven men, six were miscellaneous servants, wearing tight short clothes, tall and short, both tall and short, and they couldn't get on the stage in terms of appearance and temperament, and they all seemed to be living under the people for a long time, although Zhang Huan would not relax his vigilance because of his appearance, but these six people couldn't even enter Jinyang Palace, so they could naturally rule out suspicion.

He looked at the steward again, who was about forty years old, tall and thin, and looked shrewd and capable, and when he saw Zhang Huan looking at him, he immediately stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Huan, "This general, please take a step to speak." ”

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Zhang Huan saw that he had his hand in his coat bag, as if he was pinching something.

Seeing that Zhang Huan didn't move, the steward couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he had to pull out his hand, only to see him holding a small red silk sac in his hand, he quietly stuffed it into Zhang Huan's hand, and said with a smile: "It's a little meaning, please smile at the general." ”

The size of the silk sac was like an apricot, round and full, and it seemed to be a bead, so Zhang Huan laughed and said, "The steward is polite." ”

But his heart was full of thoughts, he didn't believe that such a dedicated steward could let himself be fooled, could this person be a woman?

Suddenly, he felt what seemed to be a contemptuous gaze, and as soon as he turned his head, he looked at the sixty dancing girls and musicians, all dressed in general clothes, wearing heavy makeup, as if they all looked the same, and there was no abnormality.

Zhang Huan slowly retracted his gaze, a little puzzled in his heart, at this time, the soldiers were checking their musical instruments, taking them out one by one, neatly placing them on the ground, pipa, zheng, tambourine, drum, etc.

Zhang Huan's eyes glanced at it, and suddenly saw that the two top women were each holding a jade flute in their hands, so he walked up to them, stretched out his hand and ordered: "Give me the flute!" ”

The two women glanced at each other, hesitated and handed him the flute, which was two jade pipes carved from beautiful jade, one was as red as blood, and the other was verdant in color, both warm and lubricated in the hand, and the appearance was exactly the same, which complemented the twin sisters.

Zhang Huan looked carefully for a long time and didn't find any problems, and handed them to a personal soldier, "Blow and see!" ”

Just when the soldiers were about to blow the flute, Zhang Huan suddenly saw a trace of anxiety in the eyes of the woman in the gold suit, and it flashed,

Zhang Huan smiled slightly, the problem must be here

, he already knew who was going to do it.

"Alright." Zhang Huan stopped the soldiers from giving and returned the two flutes to them. He waved his hand. "It's getting late, let them in!"

The soldiers stopped checking and put the three branches of Lefang into the palace gate, Zhang Huan turned around and entered the main hall, the big and small officials in front of the banquet have been seated according to their ranks, the night has quietly fallen, and the hall is bright. Many palace maids shuttled back and forth in the feast, setting up wine and serving food.

A bell rang, and a high-pitched cheer came from the side door in front of the hall. "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."

The officials stood up in unison. More than a dozen guards and palace maids walked into the main hall surrounded by Li Department, who was dressed in regular clothes and had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Your Majesty!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." Li Xian waved his hand slightly, he picked up a glass of wine, and said to everyone with some emotion: "There is a big drought in Hedong this year, I originally wanted to be frugal, but I thought that you Aiqing would be stationed in the northern capital. I didn't have a chance with the Son of Heaven, and I felt quite sorry in my heart. Therefore, I decided to invite you to a banquet, and I hope that after drinking this wine, you will remember my entrustment, treat the people kindly, and live up to my hard work. ”

"The ministers will remember Your Majesty's trust and never fail to live up to the grace of God!"

Li nodded, he raised his wine glass high, "Come!" Drink this cup. ”

He drank the wine, then sat down slowly, the officials below also drank the wine, sat down one after another, only to hear a crisp cloud board sounded, the sound of silk and bamboo came like crossing the water through the clouds, two teams of music girls or playing the flute and stroking the qin, or waving the pipa, like two lines of autumn geese, fluttering into both sides of the hall.

The silk and bamboo in the hall are around the beams, echoing in the ears, the previous dull atmosphere is swept away, and then a team of dancing girls is like flying immortals outside the sky, and like clusters of blooming peonies, layer upon layer in the hall has bloomed, this is the Western Jin Dynasty Music Fang Di Dancing Girls, according to the order of the draw, they are the first to appear.

At this time, He Lou Wuji walked behind Zhang Huan and said in a low voice: "General, the Long Wu Army is making trouble outside, and they want to take over the defense of Jinyang Palace in advance." ”

Zhang Huan quickly glanced at Zhu Zhu, only to see that his eyes were slightly cold, and he was looking at himself with slanted eyes, Zhang Huan smiled, raised his glass to greet him, and then lowered his voice and said to He Lou Wuji: "It doesn't hurt to give them the defense, you take five hundred brothers to Lanling Music Fang, and none of the people inside are allowed to let go, if you dare to resist, kill me or not!" ”

He Lou Wuji nodded in agreement and hurried away.

At this time, the dancing queen of the Western Jin Dynasty Music Workshop has retreated, the hall suddenly made a loud drum sound, the drum beat was rapid and unrestrained, the eyes of all the people in the hall were attracted to the past, only to see that a sea of fiery red suddenly appeared on the main hall, sixty dancing girls danced the Hu Xuan dance unwillingly, like a pomegranate flower in full bloom, the whole hall was stimulated with enthusiasm, and many people's feet also moved with the beat of the drum.

Zhang Huan stared at the dancing girls tightly, sliding over their faces one by one, each with a charming smile, he was looking for someone who should be among them, but sixty-two women with heavy makeup, each of them in a fierce sport, it was undoubtedly very difficult to find someone special among them.

Just when Zhang Huan was about to give up, he suddenly found that there was a face without makeup in the last row, this was an extremely delicate face, so beautiful that it was a little unreal, as if it was a masterpiece in the hands of a master, which made people unforgettable after taking a look, at this moment there was not the slightest smile on her face, and her eyes were full of terrifying hatred, which seemed to turn her whole person into a sharp sword.

Zhang Huan's eyes gradually narrowed, the hills, waterfalls, plum blossom palaces, yes, it was her, the female Taoist priest who looked at the moon with her hands.

The fiery sea contracted suddenly, forming a bud waiting to be released, the drum stopped abruptly, suddenly, the drum sounded fiercely, like a thousand horses galloping, the flower buds bloomed, two delicate stamen pavilions appeared in front of everyone's eyes, they were one gold and one silver, and the tight tops outlined their wonderful bodies extremely moving.

In the sound of drums, their soft snake-like bodies are rotating violently, and the metal pieces on their bodies are shining brightly, making jingling sounds from time to time, one seems to be sunny, and the other is like a faint bright moon, and the contrast is particularly strong in the brightly lit hall, firmly attracting everyone's attention.

Zhang Huan is an exception, his eyes have been following the delicate face, sixty backup dancers have retreated to the entrance of the hall, the target has retreated to the outside of the hall, the time to do it has come, Zhang Huan's gaze brushed back to the main hall, and the dark crossbow in his hand quickly filled.

On the main hall, a jade flute appeared in the hands of the two dancing girls, the silver dancing queen was a jasper flute in her hand, and the golden dancing girl was a red blood flute in her hand, and the whimpering flute was swirling in the dance, as if a pair of smart phoenixes were flying in the main hall.

These two assassins, one cover, one strike, one somersault, the skirt slipped down her waist under the light, revealing her white thighs like jade, her body floated high in the air, her posture was extremely elegant, the hall was silent, all eyes were attracted to her, but Zhang Huan's target was locked on the silver dancing queen, I saw her flash to the side, still playing the flute, but the flute pipe was aimed at the Son of Heaven Li Department, and Li Department's attention was also attracted by the somersault golden dancing queen.

The coquettishness on the face of the silver dancing girl gradually disappeared, and a cold smile burst out of her eyes, and at the moment when she twisted the pipe, the crossbow in Zhang Huan's hand shot out, and a short black arrow slashed through the bright light, extremely fast, like a black invitation from the god of death, silently penetrating her exposed snow-white breast.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and a wail shattered the dream of indulging in singing and dancing, and a jasper flute flew high and fell heavily to the ground, splitting into three pieces, revealing a short blue needle.
