Chapter Thirty-Six: The Banquet Fights

Lin Feng quietly pulled out his hand, hugged his fists and saluted: "Lin Feng has seen the horse envoy!" ”

"Lord Lin, don't be so angry! I have already handed a letter to the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to claim the title of minister, counting it, you and I are already ministers of the same palace! Ma Xixu patted Lin Feng's shoulder and laughed loudly.

"That's Lin's honor, Lin is here to congratulate Master Ma on his ascension in advance!" Lin Feng felt a little ridiculous in his heart, but he learned about the background of this matter through the information.

In September of the first year of Han Qianyou (948 AD), Ma Xixu wrote to Liu Chengyou, Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty, asking him to pay tribute to the imperial court alone in the name of the envoy of the Wuping Army, and also asked Liu Chengyou to add another seal to himself, in fact, he wanted to be independent. Yang Wei, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and others received heavy bribes from Ma Xiguang, and they all tried their best to persuade Liu Chengyou to ignore Ma Xixu and let Hunan go into chaos. Ma Xicao, who was rejected, was furious: "The emperor of the world is not your family, how can you get me?" Only then did he make up his mind to become a minister to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Ma Xixu laughed wildly, led Lin Feng into a luxurious carriage, and went straight to the Jiedu Embassy Mansion in Langzhou City under the protection of all the soldiers.

Needless to say, a grand wine feast has already been prepared. As soon as Lin Feng and the others entered the wide main hall, several graceful women got up lightly, dancing like butterflies in front of a row of chimes, and the rich music gradually rose.

"Lord Lin, this is the Chu Le performance I specially prepared for you. My Chu music has a long history, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, there are many repertoire, this song is "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", specially designed to welcome VIPs! I have heard for a long time that Lord Lin has a deep music base and is a school of his own, I don't know how to listen to it? Ma Xicao pointed at the dancing women, and said loudly with a fluttering eyebrow.

Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly, listened intently for a while, and then opened his mouth to praise: "Sometimes gold and jade, sometimes dignified and far-reaching, there is a natural beauty, but it can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar!" Lin has an ear blessing today! ”

"In the past, the two Han empires began in Chu. It is rumored that Han Gaozu music Chu Sheng, "Song of the Great Wind" is Chu Sheng. Ma Xicao's interest was undiminished, and he said with longing in his eyes.

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, you are a big straw bag, but you remember these ranks, don't you think you can compare to Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, the founding emperors of the country?

However, Lin Feng still responded in vain: "Ma Da's personality is elegant and ambitious, Lin admires it!" ”

Ma Xicao laughed even harder, a pair of small eyes were almost invisible, and invited Lin Feng to sit down in the first seat on the left, and Lin Renzhao and the others all sat down at the square table on the left.

After the song was played, Ma Xixu stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Today, Lord Lin Fenglin, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, is fortunate to come to my Langzhou, which is really the gospel of the people of Langzhou, making the cold house shine, let us thank Lord Lin together!" ”

After speaking, Ma Xicao poured a glass of wine into his stomach, and the first row of Langzhou civil and military generals on the right below also raised their glasses and sang promises, and the wine glasses bottomed out.

Lin Feng said loudly: "Lin Mou is fortunate to have three lives, and now I can see the outstanding people of Chu, Xie Lu Xie Ma, Xie Lu thank you!" "Raise your head and drink the wine empty.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Xicao got off the main seat and toasted to the guests one by one. Needless to say, Lin Feng didn't refuse to come, and he just took the cup and dried.

Ma Xicao led a group of people to the second table on the left for a toast, and Lin Feng first introduced the deputy general Lin Renzhao.

Ma Xicao raised his glass, but Lin Renzhao pointed to the wine glass in front of him, and said loudly: "During the war, the last general will not dare to drink, please forgive your sins!" ”

Ma Xicao was a little stunned, and then looked at the empty cups or upside-down cups in front of the others, daring to love that these people just raised their glasses just now, and did not drink, Ma Xixu couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.

Before Lin Feng could speak, a sneer came from behind Ma Xixu, and then a pretended delicate and tactful voice came out: "Yo, how capable can a soldier who doesn't even dare to drink a wine glass have?" ”

Hearing this voice that was neither male nor female, Lin Feng felt a chill, turned his eyes to look, and found that it was a thin and slender young man in Chinese clothes, his face was very delicate at first glance, but his thick eyebrows and pretty eyes were as neat as they had just been drawn; The complexion was like jade, but it seemed to be coated with a thick layer of powder. After speaking, his right hand was half-raised in the air and held a delicate small fan, and his little finger was raised high, still trembling.

This--this Ma Xicalyx still has the good of Longyang, the habit of breaking sleeves? Lin Feng couldn't help but take half a step back, letting his body move away from Ma Xixu.

"Yan Hao, don't talk nonsense!" Ma Xicao opened his mouth to scold, but the expression on his face was smiling, and there was no strength in his words, as if he was pretending to comment that his child was very naughty.

That's it, Lin Feng finally recognized Ma Xicao completely at this time. With such a bastard leader, it is intolerable for the Chu State not to be buried!

Lin Renzhao snorted coldly: "Whether you have the ability or not, it's not up to you to judge, but to play!" His hand slammed into the handle of the knife.

"General Unarin, do you dare to compete with me Panlong?" A gruff voice sounded, and a man with half of his shoulders exposed cross-body and an eagle head tattoo on his neck pulled out a large knife with a slender blade and slowly danced it in his hand.

This person was one of the surrounding barbarian chieftains invited by Ma Xi Caoyan, named Panlong.

Beginning in June, Ma Xixu took advantage of the abundance of the Chu capital and Tibet as a lure to encourage the Tujia families of Chen, Li (present-day Yuanling and Qianyang, Hunan), Meishan (present-day northwest of Xinhua, Hunan), and Xi (present-day northeast of Guzhang, Hunan) to participate in the war for the throne of the Ma brothers. Panlong is one of the chieftains of the Tujia family in Qianyang.

Panlong has already suffered a lot of fire in his heart, Lin Feng, a white-faced boy, is only about thirty people, you Ma Xicao treats him so well, we have exhausted the two thousand elite soldiers in the village, and I don't see you entertaining me like this!

"Just you? I'm afraid I won't see enough! Lin Renzhao was afraid that he was just a barbarian, so the two strode out and came to the open space in the hall.

Ma Xixu looked at Lin Feng with some difficulty, they were all VIPs invited by himself, and he didn't dare to offend any of them easily.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Everyone is here for the safety of the people of Chu State. Huzi, be careful not to hurt anyone! ”

Lin Feng agreed, and Ma Xixu didn't have anything to say, waving his hand to signal everyone to vacate the open space in the middle.

Lin Renzhao turned the big knife around his right hand twice, squinted at the other party, and gently hooked the index finger of his left hand, signaling for the other party to attack first.

Panlong was about to explode, since he came to Langzhou, he has been looking for Langzhou generals to compete many times, no one has fought with him, he has long thought that he is the first master of Langzhou, no, at least he is also the first master of Chu State, but today he is despised by an unknown deputy general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how can he stand it?

The coiling dragon monster screamed, the speed of the long knife in his hand accelerated, and he suddenly rushed forward, slashing twice on the left and right sides, and in the flash of the knife, the blade stabbed straight at Lin Renzhao's throat.

Lin Renzhao remained steady until the knife was only a foot away from his throat, then he suddenly raised the knife and swung the long knife away with the blade, and then pressed his left hand on the back of the knife and rushed back to Panlong's throat.

Pan Long was shocked, he didn't expect his opponent to be so powerful and so fast, so he immediately retreated backwards quickly.

Lin Renzhao did not pursue, but stopped his figure, pointed at another open-chested man on the seat not far from him with the tip of his knife, and said loudly: "One is not enough, let's have another one!" ”

Panlong was about to go crazy, and with a strange cry in his mouth, he pounced again. Lin Renzhao didn't look at it at all, brushed two knives, forced him back two more steps, and hooked his finger at the reckless man in the seat.

The man named Zhao Ye was also a tyrant in the Yuanling Tu family, how could he be timid, he took out a thick-backed big knife, slapped the long case in front of him, jumped high, and jumped in front of Lin Renzhao.

At this time, Lin Renzhao stopped looking at the two strong men and turned his head to look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng spread all his right fingers and gestured a five in the air, which means that you kid must do it within five moves.

Lin Renzhao shook his head, stretched out his left hand, only stretched out his index finger, and gestured a one, naturally replied, how can I use five moves, one move is enough!

This move of the two of them suddenly made the atmosphere in the banquet really annoyed, and several Langzhou generals with weapons stood up angrily, the officials and soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were too arrogant, right?

Lin Renzhao turned around leisurely, stared at the two reckless men in front of him, and shouted: "Take it!" ”

Lin Renzhao retreated, bowed slightly, and suddenly rushed towards Zhao Ye with strength, the knife in his hand slashed straight down from top to bottom, Zhao Ye held the knife with both hands and went straight up, who knew that Lin Renzhao was just a false move, the knife turned in the air, and slashed towards the coiled dragon who was about to step forward.

Panlong shouted, people don't dodge or dodge, the long knife stabbed Lin Renzhao's chest, looking like he was going to stab Lin Renzhao with his life, Lin Renzhao's blade pressed down, and the big knife slid forward along Panlong's blade.

Panlong tried his best, but the blade of the knife couldn't move a bit, and seeing that the blade was approaching, he had to retract his strength, erect the blade, and block Lin Renzhao's blade.

Just when he was able to block Lin Renzhao's blade in front of him, there was a sharp pain in his waist, and the whole person flew up. It turned out that what Lin Renzhao really prepared for him was his long-standing right foot.

Lin Renzhao was so strong that he turned around and slashed twice, and when Zhao Ye was in a hurry, another right foot kicked him back behind the long case he jumped out of, and of course, all the juice in a bunch of plates was sprinkled on his body.

Lin Renzhao held the knife in his hand, stared at the tiger's eyes, and roared: "Who else is not convinced?" ”

Except for Lin Feng and his gang, who looked leisurely, everyone else in the banquet was stunned, it was really fake, this is too fierce, right?

At this time, a middle-aged general ranked third in the upper right chief stood up and said softly, "Let me try." ”

Lin Renzhao looked at the Han general who was unhurriedly tidying up his military uniform, his eyes lit up, and he made a gesture of clenching his fists and asking for advice.

"Huzi, you even have two people, why should it be my turn, right?" A figure suddenly appeared between Lin Renzhao and the general, and it was just because he could see that he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Lin Renzhao's nose was crooked, what kind of mess are you kid coming to make trouble, and he was about to open his mouth to refute it. Suddenly there was a shout at the door of the hall: "Report! Emergency military intelligence! The general Zhou Xingfeng in front was defeated, and Liu Yanyao, the commander of the Tanzhou War and the commander of the Langzhou camp, has occupied the Servant Shooting Continent and is leading 10,000 troops to march to my Meizhou! ”
