88. After the lull
88. After the lull
The sky gradually darkened, Suo Huan carefully traced his eyebrows, the red rouge was wrapped on his face, and there was a gorgeous flower between his eyebrows, Qin Feng stood behind him, hanging his hands silently, looking at him in the mirror from handsome and beautiful to glamorous and charming, revealing a little obsession and sadness.
"Listen, the tune has changed." Suo Huan in the mirror smiled slightly, his expression was peaceful.
The tune was indeed changed, replaced by a euphemistic and beautiful pipa and zither ensemble. ""Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" is very in line with the current beautiful scenery." Qin Feng went to the bottle and pinched a peony, tucked it in front of the two fan-shaped hairpins side by side on Suo Huan's head, and said, "Huan'er is beautiful, she doesn't need any fat powder." β
Touching the delicate petals of the peony with his fingertips, Suo Huan tilted his head slightly to admire, made a bad seductive expression on the mirror, and muttered with confidence: "But it's still so good." "This is definitely good, everyone likes him like this, and they only recognize him like this, and today is about to see the light of day again, but there can't be that kind of embarrassing situation of not being recognized.
"Actually...... I don't want you to go, I'd rather you stay here, where I can see, than never see you...... But it's useless to say anything now, you don't want to stay for me. Qin Feng said silently, there was a thick self-loathing in his eyes, he was so useless, he could neither let him follow, nor could he become a stumbling block.
Suo Huan turned around and grabbed him in surprise, "You won't regret it, will you?" β
Staring at his anxious appearance, Qin Feng smiled bitterly, "How come, I have promised to help you, this is the only thing I can do, and you will occasionally think of me in the future because of this......"
I really didn't expect him to choose to say goodbye at this time, he had been silent before, as if he would cooperate no matter what he said. Suo Huan sighed, stroked his face, and said, "It's as if you'll never see him again, you can go to Nanfeng Pavilion in the future, and I won't take your money." β
The rules of Nanfeng Pavilion, to go to the inner courtyard to have a special tooth card, Suo Huan can't give it to him now, I want to send a special token, touch nothing on the body belongs to him, he thought about it, and said: "There are a few times of joy, why do you need to urge the wine." A parting song, chasing in a dream on the front edge. By this trumpet, I will see you. β
Qin Feng nodded, the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, the first two sentences of this five words were made by him when he gathered to drink couplets, and he didn't want to investigate how the last two sentences came about, he only knew that his sweetheart was a very smart person, so smart that no one wanted to catch it.
Suo Huan told his plans and plans a long time ago, and he didn't hide it at all, including one of the protagonists at today's banquet - the Seventh Prince, who has a lot of "friendship" with him!
What friendship? It's certainly not your average friendship. Qin Feng didn't ask, he was afraid that he would be sad to death if he understood it. The prime minister and the prince are not fuel-efficient lamps, only themselves......
He shook Suo Huan's hand and confirmed for the last time: "Really want to be like this?" We can all see that Lord Feng likes you and won't take your life. Staying by his side is not a way out. β
Suo Huan sneered disdainfully, and said: "What is the way out, but it is just a new pet, the so-called new pet is a fresh pet, and when the fresh momentum passes, who cares who?" I can't change a new trick every day to please him. Besides, even if he likes me, what if I don't like him, but I have to be trapped here and live by his presence? Left and right, just open your legs to serve the man, it's better to go back to the South Wind Pavilion. β
What else can he say, Qin Feng could only lower his head, untie his pass token and put it on the dressing table, and spit out two words with difficulty: "Take care!" Then, listening to Suo Huan, a vase knocked on the door of his head and fell into a coma.
Everything is going according to plan, Suo Huan is carrying the pass order belonging to Qin Feng, with this, except for the "forbidden land", he can go anywhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even go out! In order to facilitate the dispatch to do things, and also to show preferential treatment, Feng Qiwu gave each of them a token that was unimpeded in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is not a privilege that everyone has, and ordinary people can only do things within their own specific scope, which is for the sake of order and the efficiency of the operation of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Suo Huan doesn't have this thing, there are many places that he can't go, like today's situation, the guards are extremely tight, if he doesn't have a token, he can't even think about a level.
When night fell, all the guests were seated, and the palace lamps carried by the maids illuminated the bright hall as bright as day, and the prime minister ordered people to say some grand words on the scene, toasted a wine, and looked at the three classes of people below through the delicate figure of the dancing girl.
On the right, there are only the seven kings who have returned to Beijing from leisurely travel, and the uncle of Jinshang, holding a folding fan with jade bones and gold, closing his eyes and leisurely following the rhythm of the music. The thirteenth prince was not used to seeing the long-aged hanging erlang of the seven kings, and when he heard that he was going to attend, he was very disdainful, so he simply called himself sick at home, and he was happy to have clean eyes. Zhuo Luo and Hu Lie's envoys sat side by side on the left, Hu Lie was very open, led by Xi Youdumin and Huo Huoer, they were in high spirits, drinking and laughing, and the prince Zhuo Luo sitting next to him was completely different, his lips were pursed, his heart was heavy, he couldn't eat much, not to mention the wine, and the entourage saw that the master was like this, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so they all sat upright, silent. The rest of the courtiers who came to accompany them were seated in order of rank, and each of them was just free to do so.
"The prince doesn't have to be restrained, he doesn't talk about business tonight, he can just have a good time." Feng Qiwu smiled and ordered someone to put nourishing medicinal food on Shawutibu.
Shawuti symbolically drank two sips of soup and sat up to thank him, Huo Huoer finished a cup of spirits, turned his head and sneered: "Such a good night, the prince should not be disappointed!" β
Shauti bowed his head and said, "This prince has been sick all the year round, and he really can't eat it, which makes General Xiyou smile." "Don't take a look at Huo Huoer.
Huo Huoer's face froze, and he put down the wine cup with a snap, Xiyu Dumin glanced at him coldly, and then said to Shawuti: "Naturally, the prince is noble, what can be seen to laugh." By the way, I heard that the prince was sick because of a woman, and the Zoro people are really amorous! His eagle eyes flashed slightly, showing a contemptuous smile: "Gentle township, heroic mound, the love of children has grown a lot, no wonder the prince is not heroic at all." β
Shawuti held his lips and coughed suppressedly, until his face turned red and turned white, and the veins on his forehead appeared, jumping and jumping. The entourage calmed him down, served him with a teacup and a spittoon, and rinsed his mouth, and finally let him stabilize his breath.
"There are many heroes in Zhuoluo, Xiao Wang's brothers all have a strong and brave physique like General Xiyou, since ancient times, the younger brother does not go beyond the brother, what does it matter if Xiao Wang is a hero or not!" After saying that, he left the table calmly, and saluted Feng Qiwu in the first seat: "Feng Xiang, can you take a step to speak?" β
"Waitβ" At this time, the Seven Sages King, who had been silent, spoke, he unfolded his fan and shook it twice, closed it again, and asked, "All of you here today are colleagues and friends, what can't you say in front of everyone?" The tone is slow, and he looks casual and uninhibited.
Feng Qiwu said: "There is indeed nothing that can't be said in front of everyone, it's just a private matter of Prince Shawuti, and the prince is also a man of temperament, I believe he has heard about it for a long time, so why ask knowingly." "Get up.
Shawuti showed a grateful smile and shook his head: "No need, our Zhuoluo custom, a man falls in love with a woman at first sight and spends a white head together, which is considered to be arranged by God and can be blessed by everyone, so Xiao Wang really has no intention of hiding this matter." It's good to make it clear today, and please pay attention to Xiao Wang as well, he will marry Xianji one day, and Zhuo Luo will have a generous gift. β
As soon as his voice fell, the seventh prince laughed twice, and praised it again and again, because he said: "Prince Shawuti is really interesting, a man is hearty, heroes are not rare, and the depth of love is the most rare, that is, to lift a layer of Tianye ground, this king also wants to help you find that woman, to see what kind of appearance, can make the prince not hesitate to praise." β
At the mention of her, Shawuti even lightened her sick face a little, and her eyes were bright, "I will always remember how she stood alone on a lonely boat, so lonely and so beautiful, as if her thin and quiet figure was about to break when she touched it." The rain that day, slightly, knocked on the river without a sound at all, I didn't dare to call her, so I could only stand behind the reeds in a daze, afraid that if I made a sound, she would be startled like the legend and let her turn into wings and fly away......"
It is impossible to say that the Seventh Prince is not a little surprised in his heart, Tianye attaches great importance to the Three Principles and Five Constants, and even a civilian man would not praise a woman so disrespectfully and decency, let alone the dignity of a prince.
If he continues to talk about it, something will happen, Feng Qiwu frowned, and said, "Prince Shawuti, it is not appropriate to discuss this matter today, and tomorrow the Japanese Seat will send someone to inform you of the specific situation." β
Before Shawuti could answer, the Seventh Prince got up and said, "Eh-Feng Xiang is really one step ahead of others, and there is news of that woman?" The prince himself is not shy about it, but Feng Xiang is secretive, could it be ...... What happened to the woman? β
Something went wrong! Shawuti was in a hurry all of a sudden, stepped forward, and looked anxiously at the prime minister. Feng Qiwu glanced at the huge-stirring stick of the Seven Sages King, and wanted to drive him out immediately.
β¦β¦ In fact, it did go wrong, and it was wrong in the first place.
That person is not a rich lady, or even a good family...... This is the result of Feng Lin taking people to the household department to check all the rich households in Beijing seven years ago, and when they came to inquire, they almost beat people out with a broom: Bah, a thousand knives! Your daughter just went to the Li River!
Then they looked at each other, and suddenly realized that the pleasant scenery of the Li River is not a serious place in the eyes of the people, which shameless yellow flower girl would go there alone to boat? Seven years ago, wasn't it the time when brothels were lined up and secret prostitutes were rampant along the Li River, and until now, there are still singing songs on the river.
The more Feng Lin thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, so he re-examined the costume of the person in the painting, and finally became convinced of this. The patterns on her skirt and purse are very similar to "Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water" and "Wild Bees Picking Flowers", and her long draped hair shows that she is still a girl in the boudoir, but in Tianye, even young women from good families will not bring such frivolous things on their bodies.
The prince was interested in a woman of high status, and they were misled by this preconceived notion. Now, how can Feng Qiwu tell Prince Shawuti in public, Xian Ji Bacheng, who has been thinking about you for many years, is a prostitute.
"The prince is at ease, he has been waiting for many years, are you still afraid of this moment? Tomorrow will tell you the reason, and then the prince will decide whether to look for it or not. Feng Qiwu barely gave anyone a chance to speak, and immediately signaled to start a new round of singing and dancing, the drum beat had started, and Shawuti saw the scantily clad dancer rushing in, so he had to swallow the words choked in his throat. The crowd stopped talking and returned to their seats.
Even if you want to tell it, you have to tell it slowly, because Shauti is weak, and if he is angry, it will be detrimental to diplomatic relations. Feng Qiwu lowered his eyes, thinking about how to tell him this thunderbolt on a sunny day tomorrow...... Suddenly, I felt that the surroundings seemed to be very quiet, although it should be quiet, but this silence was too weird, very much like the kind of suffocating silence that can't help but hold your breath when you see something incredible.
Feng Qiwu raised his eyelids slightly, and in an instant, he also fell into that quiet state, and finally knew that something incredible had indeed appeared.
Suo Huan crossed his arms in front of a group of dancers, smiled at Feng Qiwu warmly, and then walked to Feng Qiwu's side step by step, rubbed his head on his shoulder coquettishly, and complained with a wrinkled face: "What are you thinking? People have been standing for a long time and you haven't noticed. β
It seems to drop a * and explode with a bang!
Suo Huan! It's Suo Huan of the South Wind Pavilion! - How is he still alive?!
"Red Fox!"
"Little Wildcat!"
"Flower butterfly!"
"Little scoundrel!"
β¦β¦
Almost in unison, various nicknames shouted out, so much so that even Suo Huan himself was embarrassed: "Uh...... My name is Suo Huan. β
They seemed to suddenly remember that this was the night banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they should avoid suspicion, and they all tacitly shrunk their necks with a serious face, as if they hadn't heard those unashamed and impatient names.
That's great, that's what I want! Suo Huan looked at the stunned faces below, his heart fluttered, and his fingers were numb from the impact of excited blood.
ββNow, at this moment, Nanfeng Pavilion Suo Huan is back from the dead!
"You, step back ......" Feng Qiwu said quietly, but Suo Huan could hear the sound of his teeth rubbing.
"No, you haven't rewarded me yet! You see-" Suo Huan stretched out his clenched fist and let go, and the nine rings fell on the table one by one, and Ding Dongdong bounced up. "Three hundred and forty-one steps, it's really difficult."
He clearly felt Feng Qiwu's breath condense slightly, his lips were almost straight, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he slowly spoke after a long time: "Got it, you go down first." β
The corner of Suo Huan's eyes slipped down very quickly, and the Seven Kings were looking at them with great interest. Hooked up a negligible smile, boldly kissed Feng Qiwu's sideburns, and said, "Okay." β
The goal is achieved, and he can leave. And yetβ
"Phew! Xiao Qisan, where are you going!! A loud shout appeared out of thin air, which shook Suo Huan's brain.
When did I get this nickname???
Suo Huan turned his head suspiciously, and saw that it was a tall man dressed in Beirong, with animal skins tied around his waist, leather belts on the outside, and braided beards, a square face was very resolute, and his facial features were quite pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately one eye was missing, and the round black blindfold added a bit of ferocity and violence to his image, which made people dare not look directly.
At this moment, he was holding down the plate, clutching a pair of gourd hammers from nowhere, vicious anger burning in one eye, and his tense body was ready to attack.
Call me? Suo Huan pointed to his nose and frowned inexplicably. "What do you have to say?"
Not only Suo Huan, everyone was confused, what did Huo Huoer, the deputy envoy of Hu Lie, jump out of?
"Bang-" Without saying anything, a huge gourd hammer was thrown at Suo Huan, and he was dodged by screaming.
"Xiao Qisan, when you glanced at me, did you forget? Hmph, today God has eyes, send the enemy to me, this revenge is not avenged, what face does my Huo Huoer stand between heaven and earth! β
Looking at the ground that was smashed out of the big pit by the golden gourd, Suo Huan jumped up in fright and shouted, "You spray people with blood!" You ask them, I can't even catch a chicken, how can I have the ability to gouge out your eyes! He pointed his finger at the officials below who were avoiding suspicion.
Huo Huoer didn't care a lot, pulled the corners of his mouth and said fiercely: "Xiao Qisan, you have a deep hatred with me, even if you turn to ashes, I will recognize it, and I don't need others to testify!" Before the words fell, another golden gourd in his hand took off his hand and swept over Suo Huan's scalp, Suo Huan squatted down with his head in his hands, Huo Huoer's eyes were like electricity, and he kicked a pair of axes as wide as a basin from Ha Gangmu's waist, and went straight to Suo Huan. Suo Huan was so distraught that he gritted his teeth and rolled directly to Feng Qiwu's feet.
"Get out of the way!" Huo Huoer roared, and the axe fell without hesitation. Feng Qiwu sat still, his palms flipped over, his fingers interlocked, and a four-to-two thousand jin bounced the axe face open, and after Qingyue's metal clanged, the axe had been nailed into the column in the distance. Ha Gangmu's eyes were red, and he couldn't strike again, slashing left and right, lifting weights like light, and making heavy weapons extremely skillful.
Suo Huan was frightened, his eyes rolled, and while the two of them were fighting, he rushed out, snatched the guard's glaive knife, raised it clumsily above his head, and shouted: "Dare to hurt him, I want you to die!" β
Bang - the giant blade slashed, and the table in front of Feng Qiwu was divided into two, if he hadn't kicked Huo Huoer away in time, it would have been the body of Huo Huoer, the envoy of Hu Lie, who had been divided into two.
Suo Huan put away the knife, played an ugly trick, and put the knife on his shoulder, he didn't expect it to be so heavy, a fall was almost crushed, the tiger's mouth was numb, and it was already cracking.
Fear seemed to have opened up a certain tendon in Suo Huan's brain, and he vaguely remembered that he had met a foreign race named Huo Huoer, but ......
"Hey, I remembered, it's clear that your own skills are not as good as talents and you are being looked at, you have a debtor and a master, and you have the ability to find the right owner to take revenge, why do you deduct on my head!"
"Ahh
Suo Huan sneered: "The old bastard has a good memory, even the concubine's surname Yue remembers, why don't you remember why I have a soft knife?!" Old bastard, do you have the face to say it in front of everyone? - Hmph, I don't have half a penny, but I want to stuff your dirty black creek into my grandfather's mouth, smack, I didn't cut your calculations, and I dare to bring up the old things again! β
The tense scene seemed to be sluggish, and the Seven Sages King wanted to try to hold up his serious expression, but he had no choice but not enough strength, so he burst out laughing, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said, "Don't worry about this king, you continue." He took a sip to cover up, but before he could swallow it, he squirted out, unfolded his folding fan to cover his mouth, and laughed so that a flower branch trembled.
"Ah!!h Huo Huoer was furious, yelled uncontrollably, and pointed at Suo Huan and jumped like thunder: "Xiao Qisan, you are a dirty person, what are you pretending to be high!" I'll kill you today, and then I'll seek revenge on that surnamed Yue! β
Suo Huan stood the glaive knife on the ground, a row of iron rings on the back of the knife swayed, waved his hand, and said simply: "Don't look for it, my son will tell you today, Zizhu Mountain Road is a hill and a mountain, and the upper and lower hills are Yue, and they are your enemies - heh, if you can kill him, you don't need to do it, this son will personally cut off the head and use it as a stool for you!" Undisguised contempt.
"Little deflated three, you deceive people too much!"
"Haha, one-eyed dragon, listen, if my son gets a glance at you, there is a way to look at the second one, even if the old things are not mentioned again, today's Liangzi is settled!"
A one-eyed dragon was poking Huo Huo'er in the sore spot, how could he spare him, he lifted the axe and was about to rush forward, but there was a terrible hoarse gasp from Zhuo Luo's side.
- Prince Shawuti clutched his chest, his other hand hooked, almost scratching at the hard table, and his retinue exploded, shouting for help in Uighur mixed with broken Middle-earth. Feng Qiwu looked solemn, and while sending someone to ask for a doctor, he personally sealed the prince's important acupoints to protect his heart, and at the same time turned around and shouted coldly: "Tie up all the troublemakers!" β
The guards were ordered to rush in from all directions, surrounding the Hulie Legation and Suo Huan. But Shawuti cried out hoarsely, "No, no...... Tell them to go down! "His expression was terrifying, and he seemed to be out of breath at any moment.
Don't die in Tianye...... Feng Qiwu became worried, for fear of irritating him, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the guards retreat. Shawuti struggled to stand up, staring at the man whose appearance was extremely contrasting with his words and deeds, and trembled: "It's you, it's you...... You are...... Man? β
What is I Am Me Am I Am a Man? What the hell is he going to say? Suo Huan showed an inexplicable expression.
ββ¦β¦ Are you a man? β
The man's expression was too complicated, there was horror, sadness, anger, blame, Suo Huan didn't know him, and he didn't understand what his mindless question meant, as if he wasn't supposed to be a man. So he asked rhetorically in a relaxed and even somewhat playful tone:
"Can't you?"
PoofβShauti spurted out a mouthful of blood, his spasmodic body overturned the table and chair, his round eyes dilated, and he finally lost consciousness.
Feng Qiwu looked at Suo Huan, and his expression could be called a yin owl.
"In the autumn of seven years ago, you went to the Lijiang Nanwan Ferry?"
"Huh?" Suo Huan was shocked and replied honestly: "...... I forgot...... I should have been there, Nanwan Ferry is not far from Nanfeng Pavilion, the Luhua Desert is very beautiful, I like to go and see it on a rainy day. β
Wei Nuo's voice was interrupted by the Seven Kings' arrogant laughter: "Suo Huan, Suo Huan, I've known you for so long, why didn't I find out that you have such a charm?" His expression changed, and he teased: "It's really a good show, and it's not in vain that this king has a hard time running today." Feng Xiang, good wrist, Jinwu Zangjiao is not this Tibetan method, tomorrow our imperial capital, there will be a lively look! With a bang, he unfolded his fan and shook his way away.
The doctor had already arrived, and he was pinching and acupuncture in front of Shawuti, and he was pierced like a hedgehog, and the Zhuo Luo delegation wept bitterly and said:
"Feng Xiang gave us Zhuo Luo an explanation, why did the prince's lover become Feng Xiang's person, your country often says 'a gentleman does not take the love of others', Feng Xiang promised to find his love for the prince of the state, but his words and deeds are inconsistent, what does this mean? Now the prince's life hangs by a thread, if there is a long or short, although I Zhuo Luo is small, I would rather do the feat of shaking the tree than steal the tile! β
Huo Huoer knew that now was not a good opportunity for revenge, so he clenched his fists loudly, "Prime Minister Tianye, public is public, private is private, Huo Huoer has offended a lot." It's just that Suo Huan and I have a common enmity, and I want to ask the prime minister to cut off my love - if it's good, it's good, if it's not good, let's see each other with swords! "Salute and leave.
"Snort, thief, don't ...... it"
Before the words were finished, Feng Qiwu slapped Suo Huan in the face with a backhand: "Shut up." "The voice was so muffled that it was suffocating. The hard gem ring on his middle finger broke Suo Huan's face, and he didn't look at it, but it was Xiyou Dumin, who stared at Suo Huan for a while before turning to Feng Qiwu, but he didn't say anything, chuckled and saluted, and led the delegation away.
