Chapter 381: A Jar of Drink

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived!"

Just in the garden, when the hundred officials were nervous and at a loss. A high-pitched chant at the door broke the embarrassment in the garden.

As the sound sounded, the guests in the garden turned their heads in unison and looked towards the doorway where the butler stood.

At the archway of the lanterns, four maids in pink dresses walked in with lanterns. The steps are light and the body is graceful.

When they entered the door, two maids stood by the door. The pink lantern in his hand sprinkled a ray of light and illuminated the archway.

Then, the King of Jin, dressed in a jubilant golden red, led a woman with a very strange appearance, and walked in from the arch.

To say that the woman was strange in appearance did not mean that she was ugly. On the contrary, as soon as this woman appeared, it made people feel amazing. And this woman's appearance, especially her eyes, made everyone present think of a race.

"Turks!"

In the exclamation of the guests, Lu Heng also muttered to himself in surprise. Looking at the woman with a pair of charming blue eyes, I was quite curious.

Beside him, Hong Quan nodded slightly, looked at the woman beside King Jin, thought about it, and said lightly: "After the Great War that year, the Great Zhou had a short period of peace with the Turks. In order to express their wishes for peace, the two sides each sent peace envoys. A woman of my Great Zhou, married to a Turkic Khan. And the Turkic Khan also married a little princess of the steppe to the king of Jin. Oh, this matter was talked about back then. It's just that after so many years, the war between the two sides has resumed. No one is talking about it anymore! ”

Raising his chin and pointing at the woman, Hong Quan's eyes were faint, and he said to Lu Heng beside him: "This woman is the little Turkic princess who married the King of Jin back then, and the youngest daughter of the Turkic Khan back then, Qiqige!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Heng nodded slightly. Reaching out from the table next to him, he took an apple, and after taking a bite. asked casually: "Then who is the woman I sent to kiss back then?" ”

"Heh, it's the one hanging in His Majesty's imperial study...... Damn, didn't you guess? Listening to Lu Heng's casual question, Hong Quanshun said it. However, as soon as the words came out, I felt that something was wrong.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Heng's shocked gaze. Only then did Hong Quan realize that he had slipped his mouth. At this time, looking at the shocked look in Lu Heng's eyes, it gradually changed to a clear look. Hong Quan was annoyed in his heart, and he wanted to slap himself.

"That ......" After Lu Heng heard this, a look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned his head, looked at Hong Quan, and said in disbelief: "Then, that woman is the mother of the county lord of Qinglan and the king of Jin?" That Qinglian concubine who is said to have died of illness in the harem? ”

Seeing Lu Heng's shocked gaze, Hong Quan snorted a few times with an unhappy face, and then nodded as a tacit acquiescence.

Oh, I see!

Lu Heng glanced at the Qinglan County Lord and the King of Jin in the crowd, and his heart was like a stormy wave, and he couldn't calm down.

"But!" Anyway, the matter was leaked, Hong Quan simply said everything: "But after Qinglian Guifei married to the grassland, she died in less than two months because of the water and soil!" ”

Raising his head and looking at Lu Heng with flickering eyes, Hong Quan lowered his voice and said, "This matter is currently known to only a few people in Da Zhou!" His Majesty even pressed this matter to death, and regarded it as a great humiliation for life! So ......"

Hong Quan glanced at Lu Heng with a worried look in his eyes, and the worried look on his face was self-evident.

After experiencing shock and astonishment, Lu Heng's emotions also calmed down. Seeing Hong Quan's cautious expression, Lu Heng nodded solemnly and took a bite of the apple in his hand: "I didn't hear anything!" ”

When Hong Quan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and nodded gratefully to Lu Heng with a grateful smile.

After chewing a few bites, I found that the apple in my hand was becoming more and more tasteless. After Lu Hengyi put down the apple, he raised his head and looked at the King of Jin and the Lord of Qinglan, feeling both sad and pitiful for their lives.

In the past, Lu Heng was still wondering why King Jin, who had a good future, was so aggressive.

Now it seems that it must be because of this incident.

The biological mother was forced by the emperor to remarry to the Turks, and finally died of humiliation. As the son of man, and the prince, the king of Jin and the lord of Qinglan, how could they accept such a great shame.

For more than 20 years, we have been secretly preparing and winning over forces from all sides. In order to be able to restore the reputation of his biological mother, that pathetic woman. Or rather, just for the sake of a statement. Now, King Jin's wings are gradually full, and the hatred suppressed in his heart has also surfaced.

However, thinking about what King Jin has done over the years, Lu Heng feels sorry for him.

Just as the emperor said in the early morning, the crazy roar. If, if King Jin can let go of hatred, or rather, the target of hatred is targeted. Perhaps, the emperor will really pass on the throne to him as he wishes.

But people are often blinded by hatred. Perhaps, back then, King Jin had the idea of avenging his biological mother, Concubine Qinglian. But for so many years, King Jin has gone too far on the road of revenge. Especially after the appearance of the Turks, he could never turn back. Now he is already standing on the opposite side of the entire Great Zhou. Whether he succeeds or not, he will become a sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages.

He's gone crazy!

Lu Heng held the wine cup in his hand, looking at His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was laughing and chatting with the guests, and the county lord of Qinglan who accompanied him. Lu Heng's eyes were long, and he shook his head and sighed. The taste in my heart is indescribable.

After greeting the guests for a while, King Jin turned his head with a smile on his face, and walked straight towards Lu Heng.

After Hong Quan saw King Jin coming over, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Heng, who was distracted beside him.

"Lord Lu, Lord Hong, welcome to the Jin Palace!" King Jin deliberately dressed up tonight. At this time, the night breeze hit, and the black hair fluttered gently, and it was extremely elegant. With a kind smile on his face, he looked at Lu Heng and the others and said with a smile.

"The prince is polite! It is a blessing for us to be a guest at the Jin Palace! "Hong Quan is sleek and sophisticated. At this time, I saw that Lu Heng still looked wrong. I had to make my own decision, raised my cup and touched it with King Jin, and was modest.

But King Jin didn't appreciate it, seeing Lu Heng's expression in a daze, a cold color flashed on his handsome face, and after a flash, he looked at Lu Heng with slanted eyes and said, "Could it be that Lord Lu is still angry because of what happened to the dog just now?" ”

A cool breeze blows across your cheeks. The thoughts in my mind are much clearer.

Looking at the amber wine in the golden cup in front of him, and looking up at King Jin's seemingly kind smile, Lu Heng smiled, turned around, and took a glass of wine from the table next to him. smiled and glanced at King Jin, and then ...... Seeing that the county lord of Qinglan looked away and did not look at each other, Lu Heng smiled faintly. The wine glass in his hand was sent forward, and after touching the cup of King Jin, he glanced at him with a smile. He didn't say a word, just raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking, Lu Heng turned over the wine bowl with a smile. looked at King Jin with a smile.

King Jin frowned and looked down at the wine bowl in Lu Heng's hand.

There are at least two taels of wine in this bowl. It's not much, but it's not a lot. Drinking it in one gulp is really not something that ordinary people can bear. In particular, tonight's drinks are all aged from the Western Regions, and they have a lot of stamina. This bowl goes down, and when the wind blows for a while, it is estimated that the whole person will be delirious.

I hesitated, not knowing what to do. Unexpectedly, the county lord of Qinglan behind him suddenly walked in front of him and stretched out his hand to take the wine bowl from King Jin's hand. Then he raised his head and looked at Lu Heng with beautiful eyes without any emotion.

The county lord of Qinglan slowly raised the wine bowl and looked at Lu Heng like this. Then raise your head, close your eyes, and drink the wine from your glass.

Amber liquor trickled down her lips and spilled from the corners of her lips. The pink dress was already wet. And the woman seemed to be unaware of anything, until she drank the wine from the bowl. Then he turned the wine bowl over. looked at Lu Heng fixedly, and also said nothing.

For a while, the atmosphere in the field was extremely strange.

The county lord of Qinglan held the wine bowl in his hand, and looked at Lu Heng with cold eyes and no emotion. And Lu Heng obviously had a stunned look on his face. Looking at the woman in front of her, with a frosty face. His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

The strange atmosphere in the venue, not only King Jin felt it, but even the onlookers noticed that something was wrong.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Heng and the county lord of Qinglan. Looking at the Qinglan County Lord staring at Lu Heng coldly, as if he was looking at a white-eyed wolf. Many guests with character problems have begun to wonder if something unsightly happened between these two people.

Moreover, it is still a matter of men thinking differently and shamelessly betraying, and women are sad and want to die because of this.

The sound of whispering spread among the guests. In a short time, the wind direction has changed dramatically. Almost half of the guests in the audience had already shown contempt, disdain, and even hostility towards Lu Heng.

If it weren't for the estimation of Lu Heng's identity and status, I'm afraid that at this time, there would have been eggs and rotten vegetable leaves flying all over the sky.

And Lu Heng in the field didn't seem to feel the sharp gaze around him. Still looking at the woman in front of him in amazement.

Moving his gaze down, he also saw the long skirt on the county lord of Qinglan that was soaked with wine, and a wisp of green silk standing on his lips, which was as black as ink.

After a while, Lu Heng looked at the gaze of the Qinglan County Lord, and changed from astonishment to admiration. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked directly to the table, holding up a jar of unopened wine.

Then in the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Heng single-handedly opened the sealing mud on the wine jar.

Suddenly, the smell of wine overflowed in the field!

Lu Heng held the wine jar and walked back to the Qinglan County Lord. looked at the county lord of Qinglan fixedly, and then loosened the wine jar forward, his face was full of admiration: "The county lord of Qinglan has a good amount of wine, so, can you drink a jar?" ”
