Chapter 102: Banquet Song and Dance
Entering the city, there was a depression, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the ground was littered with leaves, and no one cleaned it. The shops were closed, with only one soldier guarding them.
After walking for a while, I finally stopped at a luxurious mansion.
At the door was a crowd of greetings, these were the leaders of the rebel army in Hedong, or important people, Zhao Pu hurriedly dismounted to show respect. After a brief politeness, the two sides began to introduce each other, and as an intermediary, Yang Zhi began to introduce the leaders of the rebel army. It's just a pity that I don't know any of them.
Zhao Pu worked hard to recall the history of the rebel army in Hedong, but sadly found that none of these people knew him.
At this time, these leaders of the rebel army may have great power, occupying several states and counties, with huge power, and hundreds of thousands of people, but history has not remembered them, and they are all nameless.
History, as expected, is the most cruel, and it is only those few people who leave their names.
After a brief courtesy, I stepped into the living room, and on the huge table, I set up a posture and began the banquet. So, they started a conversation that was not salty or light, it was pure nonsense, and Zhao Pu rarely spoke, just listened quietly.
At this time, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others had a look of surprise on their faces. Although Zhao Pu has been disguised, Zhao Pu has put on a mustache, his face has become dark, and his outfit has changed greatly, but he still can't hide it from them. They never dreamed that this prince would actually participate in this banquet.
The sons of the daughters did not sit in the hall, and they never thought that this king of honor would attend this banquet, because it was impossible.
The Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the name of Bianliang when he was in Bianliang, but it has a huge deterrent effect on the reckless people. How can a dragon dance with a loach, and how can a prince sit with these reckless men. Originally, I thought that it would be enough for King Yi to just send a henchman to participate, but I didn't expect that it would be in person.
Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others, while being surprised, were deeply moved.
The four of them recognized Zhao Pu's identity, but they didn't point it out stupidly.
I have to say that Zhao Pu was very careful, he didn't move a bite of the dishes on the table, and the wine glass only touched his lips and poured it on his sleeve. At the same time, the afterglow of his eyes swept in all directions, checking the expressions of the leaders of the various rebels, some of them were sycophants, and these were planning to get some benefits from him; Some were disdainful, as if sensing his fear of death; Some have cold eyes, as if they are pondering calculating people; There are also some people with scattered eyes who don't care, typical stupid and stupid, with low IQ and EQ; There are also some with bright eyes and drinking wine, but there is no trace of mood fluctuations.
At this time, a slightly sarcastic voice came, first with a cold snort, and then spoke: "Venerable envoy, it seems that he is a little timid, when he entered the city alliance, he actually took five hundred soldiers with him, and let some soldiers take over the city gate, it seems that he is too timid!" I don't know why His Royal Highness the dignified King of Honor would let you be an envoy? Do you think that we will assassinate the messenger at the banquet! ”
Zhao Pu looked at it and immediately saw a black-faced man, tall, with a thick beard, a fierce light in his eyes, and a murderous aura all over his body. At first glance, he is a general who has been on the battlefield and fought hard.
"Shut up, how can it be that you said it!"
"Black Bull, Hugh is presumptuous!"
"Forgive me, this thing drank too much cat urine!"
As soon as the black-faced man spoke, he was immediately reprimanded by the leaders of the rebel army around him, but his tone was full of peculiar smell.
After hearing the questioning, Zhao Pu smiled and said indifferently: "I'm just a scholar, it's okay to write lyrics and poems in Bianliang City, fight on the battlefield, can't hold a spear, can't carry military rations, can't pull a strong bow, it's a problem to get on a horse and gallop, I'm a scholar, the battlefield is a stranger, and I'm naturally afraid of death." The night is dark and the wind is high, in case the Golden Army dog thieves attack, my head will be gone! ”
The black-faced man was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't expect Zhao Pu to answer like this.
Ordinary people, when they encounter such difficult problems, they often keep looking for reasons, making excuses, and constantly justifying their actions.
But this messenger is very simple, I am a scholar, useless is a scholar, I can't fight, I am naturally afraid of death.
People already admit that they are afraid of death, so you can't bite it.
Besides, I'm a scholar, and I'm speechless all of a sudden.
In this day and age, scholars are privileged. If other soldiers say that they are afraid of death, they will be ridiculed by the army; However, the scholars said that they were afraid of death, and most of the soldiers took it for granted.
"Black Bull doesn't sit down yet!" At this time, Yang Zhi shouted,
The black bull sat down wryly.
At this time, all the dishes are also on the table, at this time, it seems that there is something too much to say if the chopsticks are not moved, Zhao Pu can only move the chopsticks, and the chopsticks are only eaten a few times at random, most of them are plates that have been moved by other people.
At this time, a leader of the rebel army clapped his palms, and Zhao Pu couldn't help but tremble in his heart. It's not going to be a clapping call, the axe hand is going to come in!
When Zhao Pu was nervous, more than a dozen young women wearing tulle walked in from the small door on the side, among these women, some were holding various musical instruments, and some were empty-handed.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhao Pu's eyes. This is Hedong, not Jiangnan. It is understandable to pick up girls in Jiangnan, but Hedong is full of wars and faces death at all times, but it seems to be a bit too much to listen to songs and dances.
There are still singers in the army, which is not a good sign. Sure enough, these rebels, just a little bit of wealth, began to get infected with the problems of the rich, even when the army was marching and fighting, they did not forget to bring women for them to play, no wonder they were lax in the army, from this incident alone, the later Hedong rebels were wiped out by the Jin army, there is a certain reason.
And the most unbearable thing is that this is the Righteous Army Alliance, but the major event related to the life and death of Hedong has attracted Song Ji Entertainment, and if the matter is leaked, it will be a catastrophe.
Soon there was a lot of music in the hall, and several women with graceful figures and light clothes danced to the music, although he could not see what their dance performed, but it was also quite pleasing to the eye, and unconsciously glanced at those women a few more times, but in his eyes, in addition to appreciation, unlike others, there was absolutely no obscene meaning.
No way, Zhao Pu's taste is very picky, these women's singing and dancing are much worse than Bianliang's singing and dancing, except for one woman, of course......
While enjoying the song and dance, Zhao Pu confirmed his guess. The generals of the rebel army may have been forced to be helpless in the early days of the anti-Jin, but after they had a certain strength, they immediately forgot their origins and began to enjoy this luxurious life.
To put it bluntly, it is unambitious, small wealth is peace, whether it is from low-level soldiers or senior generals, most of them have this kind of thinking, after all, such as Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, are still simple in high positions, and there are still too few who do not forget their roots, or almost nothing.
When the dancing girls finished their songs, and with a wave of their hands, the women put down their instruments and walked to the generals who were sitting on the ground on either side, and it seemed that everyone had old acquaintances, and soon they each found their acquaintances and sat beside them.
And these generals were also unceremonious, and immediately took these women into their arms, and some even put their hands on these women.
In the field, there was only one of the most beautiful women left, not in the arms of the generals in the tent, the leader of the rebel army smiled, pointed to Zhao Pu and said to the most beautiful woman: "Honorable envoy, is this girl still beautiful?" ”
Zhao Pu looked at the woman standing in the field, nodded and replied with a smile: "The sky is fragrant and the country is beautiful, and the country is full of cities!" ”
This woman is indeed beautiful, and her appearance does not overpower the first-class prostitute of Bianliang.
"Since the envoy is satisfied, then Gao will give this woman as a thank you gift to the envoy! Wu'er, why don't you come to see General Xiao? The general of the righteous army, surnamed Gao, laughed, and beckoned the woman to come over as he spoke.
Zhao Puleng paused for a moment and wanted to refuse, but finally nodded and agreed. This is to send bribes, and if you don't accept bribes, it's hard to talk about the next.
"Wu'er is a woman from the Taiyuan clan, but she just escaped a catastrophe when she went out, took refuge with her uncle in the distance, and fell into our army in the chaos, and now she is given to your envoy, which is a beautiful woman with a talent!"
The woman standing on the side walked in front of Zhao Pu, gave a very elegant salute to Zhao Pu, lowered her eyebrows and took the initiative to walk to Zhao Pu's side, and poured a glass of wine for Zhao Pu. And this move immediately aroused the jealousy of many people in the account, and they all set their eyes on Zhao Pu.
"Poor people, too!" Zhao Pu opened his mouth and said, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he felt a little guilty about the leader of the rebel army, but how to say that the leader of the rebel army also gave him a beauty. However, he didn't even remember the name of the leader of the rebel army, there was no way, some people who had no future, people who were about to die, Zhao Pu didn't bother to remember.
