Chapter 229: Folk Song and Dance Workshop

As the sun sets in the west, a touch of orange afterglow spreads on the streets in Yuyang City, and the bluestone pavement on the street is also shining with a dull yellow color under the illumination of the slanting sun.

Dressed in a crimson dark coat, Liu Wei and Guan Qing, who was dressed as a man, walked side by side in the middle of the street, not far behind them, followed by a group of young men with long swords at their waists and wearing dark clothes of various colors.

Every time Liu Wei and Guan Qing took a step forward, the group of men would follow, although on the surface each of them seemed to be wandering on the street, but a pair of eyes did not dare to move away from Liu Wei and Guan Qing for a moment.

Standing outside the door of a song and dance workshop, Guan Qing looked at the three big small seal characters of "Song and Dance Workshop" on the door, frowned slightly, and whispered to Liu Wei on the side: "Your Highness likes beauty, and the little girl is a daughter, how can you come here with Your Highness?" ”

Turning his head to look at Guan Qing beside him, the corners of Liu Bian's mouth twitched, revealing a faint smile, and said to her in a low voice: "If you want to leave Yuyang, Miss Guan must follow the king's orders." Today is the last opportunity for you and me, and I hope that the girl will cooperate with this king! ”

Dropping this sentence, he didn't give Guan Qing any further explanation, and walked towards the main entrance of the song and dance workshop.

Standing outside the door of the song and dance workshop, Guan Qing looked at Liu Wei's back in a daze, frowned slightly, and walked in.

Since entering Yuyang City, Liu Bian's performance has disappointed Guan Qing very much, from the bottom of his heart, Guan Qing does not believe that Liu Bian, who has been addicted to wine, will be willing to leave here and return to Hedong.

In the days when Liu Wei entered Yuyang, nearly 20,000 Liu Wei troops in Yanzhou were suddenly attacked by the Yellow Turban Army under Chang Xuan.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun had already received instructions from Liu Wei earlier, asking him to carefully guard against Chang Xuan's sneak attack, so that the army did not suffer too much loss.

There were several battles with the Yellow Turban Army of Chang Xian's department outside Lu County, and Zhao Yun and others also learned from Liu Wei's personal soldiers who had escaped from Lu County that Liu Wei had left Lu County.

The Yellow Turban Army was unable to break through Liu Bianjun's large array, and Liu Bianjun did not have enough strength to capture Lu County and vent his anger for Liu Bian. In order to avoid falling into a death battle in the area of Lu County, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others withdrew their troops to Qingzhou and sent several scouts to inquire about Liu Wei's news. Many days have passed, but there has been no feedback on Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was not found for a long time, and the army was stationed in the Qingzhou area, and he never refused to leave.

On this day, Zhao Yun and others were discussing the deployment of additional manpower in the tent to expand the scope of search, and a scout who had earlier sent Lu to investigate the news of Liu Wei rushed into the barracks. After entering the barracks, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, ran quickly to the outside of Zhao Yun's tent, and said to the tent with his fists: "General Zhao, I have received news from His Highness!" ”

In the big tent, Zhao Yun was discussing with Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and others where Liu Wei might go, and suddenly heard the scout's report, everyone hurriedly ran out of the tent, Zhao Yun grabbed the scout's collar, and asked him with an anxious face: "Do you know where His Highness is?" Is he okay? ”

"Hello to the generals!" The collar was grabbed by Zhao Yun, and the scout trembled and said to everyone: "The villain got the news from the merchants who came to Qingzhou from the north that His Royal Highness has been taken to Yuyang by Gongsun Zhan, and is still in Yuyang City......"

"Is the news conclusive?" Hearing that Liu Wei was taken to Yuyang by Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun and the others were stunned, glanced at each other, and Guan Hai on the side hurriedly asked the scout: "Can a certain girl be with His Royal Highness?" ”

"I only heard the news of His Highness, but I really didn't hear any information about Miss Guan!" Guan Hai asked about Guan Qing, and the scout lowered his head and replied timidly.

There was no news of Guan Qing, Guan Hai's face suddenly turned gray, and he said to Zhao Yun and the others: "No, I want to go to Yuyang to find His Royal Highness and a certain sister!" ”

"General Guan, just rest assured!" Zhao Yun let go of the hand holding the scout's collar and said to him: "Your Highness is very affectionate, and if you leave Lu County with Miss Guan, you will definitely not leave her alone." General Guan Xiang Ri is in the Yellow Turban Army, fighting with Gongsun Zhan and his son all the year round, if the general goes, I am afraid that as soon as he enters Yuyang, he will be taken by Gongsun Zhan! This time, a certain person brought more than a dozen people to pretend to be merchants, and the generals please follow His Highness's instructions and lead the army to return to Hedong first. ”

"I haven't seen Your Highness, how can I return?" As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Dian Wei on the side wrinkled his brows, his eyes widened, and said to him: "The general is going to Yuyang, and there must be no one around him who takes care of each other, and he will go with the general!" ”

After glancing at Dian Wei, Zhao Yun nodded and said to everyone: "Okay, General Dian Wei will go to Yuyang with a certain person, and the army will be handed over to General Zhou Cang to lead and return to Hedong first!" ”

Zhou Cang, who was the first to follow Liu Wei, originally wanted to propose to follow Zhao Yun to Yuyang, but after thinking about it, he had also made a yellow scarf, if he went to Yuyang, I was afraid that not only would he not be able to help, but he would also add to the chaos, so he responded with a fist and took over the task of returning to Hedong.

"Now that we have learned the news of Your Highness, we can't wait, we will leave immediately!" Looking up at the already twilight sky, Zhao Yun hugged Dian Wei and said to him, "All the way to General Dian's care!" ”

The remnant sun had already set down the hill, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who had changed into civilian deep clothes, led a team of more than a dozen people out of the barracks and galloped towards the north.

At this moment, in Yuyang City, Liu Wei led Guan Qing into a song and dance workshop, and as soon as they entered the gate of the song and dance workshop, they saw that in the empty space in the workshop, five dancers wearing light yarns were stretching their waists with Nana.

Not far behind the dancers, there are four musicians who play the yaoqin or play the gonghou side by side.

What Gongsun Chan said earlier is not bad, compared with the dancers in the former general's mansion, the dancers in the song and dance workshop are really mediocre in appearance, just a group of vulgar fans.

In the hall of the song and dance workshop, there are more than ten low tables, when Liu Wei and Guan Qing entered the workshop, behind each low table, there were already guests who were enjoying the song and dance, two of them were still holding the Jiao Niang in their arms, their big hands were stuffed in the Jiao Niang's clothes, and they were constantly scratching and being extremely thin.

Looking at the scene in the song and dance workshop, Guan Qing frowned tightly, if it wasn't for Liu Wei telling her that if she wanted to leave Yuyang, she would have to obey her orders, she would have already turned around and walked out of this hall full of turbidity.

Liu Wei and Guan Qing entered the song and dance workshop, and two young men who followed them to monitor and protect them immediately followed.

Turning his head to look at the two men who followed up in the workshop, Liu Wei didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, but seemed to enjoy enjoying the dancer Man Dance.

"A few guests!" Standing side by side with Guan Qing near the door, Liu Wei had just looked at it for a while, and a woman walked over to them, and when they arrived in front of them, the woman had a smile on her face, and asked Liu Wei and the others: "When the guests come, do you want to taste the song and dance or do you need to be accompanied by a lady, or do you want to eat some water and wine?" ”

The woman who walked in front of Liu Wei and the others, about thirty years old, the skin on her face was slightly rough, and when she smiled, there were a few thin crow's feet crawling on the corners of her eyes, and the fine wrinkles squeezed the thick fat powder applied to her face, making the fat powder fall off "Pu Suo Pu Suo".

"Everything!" Glancing at the woman, Liu Wei said to her with a bit of playfulness in his tone: "It's just that I don't know that there are beautiful girls here who can make people feel more happy, but don't look for two people who can't move like wood to deal with it." ”

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, the woman threw a charming look at him and said to him: "How tender the body is here, if you want to be straight, you can fold it, no matter what, you can handle it!" ”

"That's good!" Nodding to the woman, Liu Wei looked around at the low table in the room, and said to the woman, "It's just that the hall is already full......"

"In the front hall, there are many idlers in the market, how can a person as elegant as Mr. sit here?" Without waiting for Liu Wei to finish speaking, the woman made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and said to him, "Please enter the inner hall to speak." ”

"There's even an inner hall!" Liu Wei knew that the reason why the woman invited him and Guan Qing to enter the inner hall was because she saw them wearing silk deep clothes, smiled slightly, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Guan Qing on the side.

Guan Qingtie, who was dressed as a man, had a blue face, and when Liu Wei was talking to the woman, he didn't say anything, and when she saw Liu Wei turn her head to look at her, she turned her face to the side, and instead of looking at Liu Bian, she gently "hummed".

When Guan Qing snorted softly, the woman who was talking to Liu Wei looked at her from head to toe, and said to Liu Bian: "This gentleman has such a delicate voice, and he is also handsome in life, if it is a girl's family, I don't know how many men's souls will be taken away!" ”

The woman spoke lightly, Guan Qing turned her face and glared at her viciously, which frightened the woman backwards, patted her chest, and said to Liu Wei: "Mr. is a good companion, but it scares the slave family!" ”

"My brother is delicate, and he is most taboo to say that he is delicate!" Liu Wei waved his hand at the woman and said to her: "You don't have to make any more noise, just lead the two of us to the inner hall to watch the singing and dancing and taste the wine!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, the woman really stopped being noisy, bowed slightly, promised, and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and Guan Qing and said, "Two gentlemen, please come with the slave family!" ”

Follow the woman through the antechamber and into the backyard of the cabaret. As soon as they entered the backyard, the sound of silk and bamboo reached the ears of Liu Wei and Guan Qing.

Slightly different from the music in the front hall, the music wafting in the backyard is more fresh and graceful, making people listen to it as if they have just drunk the elixir.

Walking through the backyard covered with bluestones on the ground, Liu Wei and Guan Qing came to a hall with a closed door.

The woman reached out to open the door, and the moment the door opened, the music that was still slightly hazy suddenly became clear.

Standing at the door, what appeared in the sight of Liu Wei and Guan Qing was a musician sitting in the hall facing the door, stroking Yaoqin with her head down.

Wearing a moon-white skirt, she sat behind a low table with Yaoqin, bowing her head and stroking Yaoqin intently, as she stroked, the strings trembled gently, and a melodious song first echoed in the hall, and then floated out of the door, spreading in the small courtyard.
