Chapter Seventy-Three

Throughout the surroundings, there are taverns, restaurants, tea stalls, guest rooms, studies, galleries, cloakrooms, bathhouses, grocery stores, trading houses, blacksmith shops, armory workshops, carriage and horse stacks, and vegetable markets.

All kinds of people and all kinds of things are constantly circulating in front of you. There are bearded people from the Western Regions, and there are dancers from the Eastern Regions. There were traders from the north, and merchants from the south.

With so many scenes, she was dazzled and dizzy.

Does Sister Mei really want to invite Yang Yizhao and Gao Lan here? Shouldn't we find a more secluded place? This is obviously a busy city, how can it be suitable for meetings and negotiations?

Yang Yizhao glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Did you guess?" ”

Xiao Yezi was a little confused by his question, but he realized in a moment: "Could it be that he is hidden in the city?" β€”β€”The Creation Building, the Creation Building, the Cloud Creation Building, will be in the world. ”

Yang Yizhao saw that she was smart, and he liked it even more, hugged her waist tightly, and said with a smile: "Yuezhou City is the Creation Building, and the Creation Building is Yuezhou City." This is Sister Mei's territory, our every move is being watched, don't be timid. As he spoke, he kissed Xiao Yezi on the face again. Xiao Yezi secretly sighed that he was in a thief ship and couldn't stand up to fight, so he had to snort and press the table.

After a while, two green-robed young men greeted him and saluted Yang Yizhao respectfully.

"Lan Jingyu and Lan Jingxuan, disciples of Sannong Hall in the Creation Building, greeted Yang Tianwang. King Ren and the master of the high hall have been waiting in the teahouse for a long time, please move. ”

As soon as the two of them looked up, Xiao Yezi saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but admire. These two young men are twins, not only are they identical in appearance, but they are also slender.

Surname Blue? Xiao Yezi's heart moved, and he vaguely remembered that these two were the sons of the Blue Hall Master of Sannong Hall. When selecting the close attendants, Sister Mei once married the Luo sisters of the Fengrui Camp to the two. I remember that Gao Yunrong was still strongly opposed at that time, and insisted that these two people were merry children and could not be trusted. But now that I see it, the two of them are behaving properly, just like a pair of gentleman's bamboos in a painting, how can they see a little sign of flowers and grass?

Yang Yizhao only nodded slightly and did not return the salute. Lan Jingyu and Lan Jingxuan led the way in front. Yang Yizhao hugged Xiao Yezi and followed the two all the way to the tea room of a teahouse.

The layout of the tea room is simple and fresh, there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there is a brass incense burner on the shelf, and the bamboo chair is paved with green silk brocade, and the atmosphere is noble and elegant. There is a transparent tulle screen in the middle of the room, on which is painted with a beautiful swordsman drawing a sword and dancing, which makes this tea room elegant and elegant. There are three dining tables on one side of the screen, and the wine and delicacies are ready. Ren Qingmei sat on the main seat, Gao Lan was the guest of honor on the right, and the special seat left was reserved for Yang Yizhao and Xiao Yezi.

Seeing Yang Yizhao coming, Ren Qingmei got up to greet him and said with a smile: "Xiao Yang, are you here?" She only looked at Yang Yizhao, as if Yang Yizhao was holding a ball of air. Xiao Yezi was a little embarrassed, this ...... When I saw her in person before, wasn't Ren Qingmei also gentle and kind? Why is she now pretending to be Yang Yizhao's favorite concubine, and she is being treated differently?

Gao Lan sat still, only looking at Ren Qingmei and Yang Yizhao, as if enjoying a good show: "It's really interesting to bring beauty to the banquet." No wonder Yang Tianwang is getting younger and younger. ”

Yang Yizhao smiled and didn't answer, but under Ren Qingmei's gaze, the hand holding Xiao Yezi touched slightly, and he seemed to be a little nervous.

Xiao Yezi's palm was tightly attached to Yang Yizhao's, and every subtle change in him could not escape her keen perception.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Sister Mei, Yang Yizhao was as unnatural as in the old days. She had imagined this scene before she came, but when it really happened to her, there was a sour feeling of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. It's a pity that she is now restricted by the environment, and she can't vent her emotions wantonly, and wait until she goes back to the Liren Pavilion to see if she doesn't blow up Yang Yizhao's pig's head.

Defending the road of love is really long and difficult. Xiao Yezi sighed secretly, looked at the direction, covered it with the hem of her skirt, stretched out her left foot to trip her right foot, and fell on Yang Yizhao with a stumble. Yang Yizhao was startled, hurriedly reached out to hug her, and hurriedly said, "Are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yezi jumped into his arms, pinched his throat and said with a smile: "I'm scared to death, fortunately, Brother Zhao protects me." When Yang Yizhao turned his back to Ren Qingmei, Xiao Yezi stretched out his hand and twisted it on his chest, but in the face of Ren Qingmei's face, he was still smiling like a flower, simple and quiet.

Yang Yizhao is not a hairy child after all, and after eating the lesson, he knows that Xiao Yezi is jealous.

He was very satisfied in his heart, and instantly forgot Ren Qingmei to the nine clouds, stretched out his hand to straighten the little leaf, and said with a smile: "It's really unruly, I haven't seen Ren Tianwang and the hall master yet." ”

Xiao Yezi covered his mouth, and with a sigh, he seemed to react, and hurriedly bowed to Ren Qingmei and Gao Lan Yingying: "Shu Yan to meet Madame, to meet the high hall master." ”

Gao Lan saw it clearly on the side, and he didn't break it, but just smiled and said, "No wonder you can be favored by Yang Tianwang." Such a pitiful person, what man would not be moved? ”

Ren Qingmei was a little surprised when she heard her call herself "madam", and then smiled indifferently: "Get up, give me a seat." ”

Yang Yizhao was about to pull Xiao Yezi into the table, but after discovering that his eating table was set up, only one cushion was set up. He was unhappy, and he was about to ask the attendant to add a small leaf to sit down. Xiao Yezi took a few steps forward, knelt on the side of the table with his knees between his knees, and made a face of obedience, smiling silently.

Yang Yizhao wanted to pull her up, but she glanced at him and signaled him not to do too much. Yang Yizhao had no choice but to sit down on the cushion, but he was already dissatisfied with Ren Qingmei's arrangement, and he was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning. Xiao Yezi saw that he had turned calm, secretly happy, took the wine jug on the table, and smiled for him like a gentle and virtuous wife.

Ren Qingmei touched the corner of his eyebrow and said with a smile: "Shu Yan knows how to rank etiquette very well, which is very good." ”

Xiao Yezi lowered his head and replied: "Shu Yan is just a dancing girl, and it is already Shu Yan's luck to be favored by Yang Tianwang." Today, I can see the wife of the helper, admire the demeanor of the lady, and feel more humble, and I dare not make a mistake in front of the lady. ”

Although she replied, her eyes were straight and only looked at Ren Qingmei's wrist. If she takes a step forward at this time, she can lift the sleeves of Ren Qingmei's robe, reveal Ren Qingmei's tattoos, and find out the secret of Li Li's life experience. Her chest continued to rise and fall, and her heart was at war, but considering Yang Yizhao, only a moment later, she bowed her head deeply and said in a deep voice: "Shu Yan is young, I can't be thoughtful about everything from time to time, and I ask Mrs. to bear with me." ”

Ren Qingmei smiled: "What I said is as if I am fierce and will punish you at any time?" ”

"Shu Yan doesn't dare." Xiao Yezi bowed his head to the ground, "Shu Yan's identity is humble, and it is already a blessing to be summoned by his wife, how dare he speak in front of his wife, and his heart is different." ”

Ren Qingmei smiled again: "You are Xiao Yang's person, I shouldn't have said anything." But......" She rolled her eyes and looked at Yang Yizhao, "Xiao Yang, you are also a king, and you should always take your identity into account before doing things." Xiao Yang, I'm all for your good. You also listen to your sister's advice, don't go astray. When she said the last sentence, she spoke softly, looked kindly, and stared straight at Yang Yizhao, as if she hoped that Yang Yizhao would respond.

Yang Yizhao saw Ren Qingmei taunting Xiao Yezi, he was already unhappy in his heart, and just wanted to speak, but Xiao Yezi held down his left hand. I only heard Xiao Yezi bow his head and say: "Shu Yan knows that he is not worthy, and he doesn't dare to hope to enter the house." It is a pleasure for Mrs. to set up a banquet today, please don't make everyone unhappy because of Shu Yan's presence. Shu Yan voluntarily withdrew from the table and did not disturb the adults' feast. ”

Xiao Yezi got up and was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard Ren Qingmei say: "Today is a friendship meeting, if you leave, won't you leave Yang Tianwang alone to embarrass him?" ”

At this time, Gao Lan suddenly smiled and said, "I heard you say that you were a dancer before following Yang Tianwang?" In this case, you might as well dance here to help Yang Tianwang drink, and also offset your sin of speculating on your wife. ”

Yang Yizhao's face changed. Ren Qingmei smiled and said, "The hall master has mentioned a Feng Yafa. Shu Yan, what do you think? If you don't want to, you can say it directly. ”

Xiao Yezi was like a mirror in his heart - before he was invited here today, he had guessed what kind of attitude Ren Qingmei would have towards him.

Maybe Ren Qingmei just wanted to see what kind of person she was soothing, so she invited her to the banquet.

Maybe Ren Qingmei wanted to win over Yang Yizhao, so he invited her to come together, so as to win Yang Yizhao's favor.

But as soon as she arrived at the tea room, from the first time she saw Ren Qingmei, she knew that Ren Qingmei invited her just to beat Yang Yizhao. Ren Qingmei to Yang Yizhao may be love, maybe use, maybe distorted exclusivity. She couldn't tell the difference for the time being, but she was sure that Ren Qingmei had unusual feelings for Yang Yizhao. That's why today's Hongmen banquet happened.

And this Gao Lan came forward to provoke Ren Qingmei at this moment, which proves even more that Ren Qingmei had reached some kind of agreement with Gao Lan before she and Yang Yizhao arrived. It seems that Ren Qingmei really wants to fight for control of the Heavenly King Gang when Yunxi is in retreat.

In fact, in addition to cultivating physical arts, she has not rehearsed any systematic dance music. But now it's hard to ride a tiger - Ren Qingmei seems to have given her a choice, but how can she not hear the meaning of the command in her words? Seeing that Yang Yizhao was going to get up and refuse, she felt sorry for her, but she didn't want Yang Yizhao to be embarrassed, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the picture of a lady dancing with a sword on the screen. Please also give me two short swords to use. ”

Yang Yizhao didn't understand what medicine was sold in the little leaf gourd, so he found two short swords for her. Xiao Yezi walked to the screen, picked up a sword, and with a snort, cut off half of his long skirt and dressed it up as a knee-length skirt. In order to prevent his appearance from being exposed when he danced, he cut a rag and wrapped it around his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She made a starting gesture and then sang a melody in her mouth, and her body danced with it. Everyone saw a slender figure passing through the veil from behind the screen, coated with a halo, looking beautiful and mysterious.

Yang Yizhao was familiar with this tune at first glance, and then watched its movements, and couldn't help but laugh secretly and feel proud. What Xiao Yezi danced this time was the ruthless dance that he danced for Xue Yue in Xingzhuang at that time. It's just that she combined the enthusiastic Western Regions fast dance with the short sword element in her hand, making the originally enthusiastic and unrestrained dance posture more ruthless and solemn. Willing to cooperate with her to act, Yang Yizhao took the wine cup and bamboo chopsticks, hit the case with his left hand, hit it with his right hand, and sang loudly according to the rhyme.

Xiao Yezi recognized this melody, which was the song played by Xue Yue that night in Xingzhuang. But under Yang Yizhao's clear and loud singing voice, a kind of Western Regions Xiao kills the vast distance of the air shuttling through the notes and jumping, changing the lingering feelings into a high-spirited and jumping youthful spirit. The singing, singing, and striking voices overlapped three times, and it actually had the spirit of a chivalrous ancient song, which was very suitable for her casual sword dance.

This singing voice full of pride and happiness gradually filled Xiao Yezi's confidence, stepping forward and swinging, spinning comfortably, more freely. With the help of physical skills and grappling, two short swords swirled and flew in her small hands, and she also flickered with the silver light, moving and stabbing. As the music progressed to perfection, the two silver lightning bolts in her hands danced faster and faster, only to see that in the flickering silver light, she was like a fairy holding a sword, stepping on the clouds of sword light, stretching her fairy posture in the sword wind.

Yang Yizhao suddenly struck continuously, pushing the tense and enthusiastic music to a climax. The little leaf also followed the melody, the whole body shrunk into one place, and then the toes exerted force, on an origin, with open arms and stepped around, like a seedling that broke through the ground and grew wildly, in the layers of aura of sword light dance, it became a firm and upright kapok. Everyone saw her hovering and dancing like a spinning top, and they couldn't see her face clearly, except for a blue whirlwind, which swept and swallowed all attention and surprise behind the screen.

Yang Yizhao sang for a long time, and the music has come to an end. Suddenly, I heard a high pitch from him climbing into the sky, and then the whole piece came to an abrupt end. Xiao Yezi's movement speed has reached the extreme, and when everyone is surprised, he suddenly stepped on the last note and suddenly stopped dancing, and the phoenix spread its wings, stabbing the two swords to the left and right, and the sword momentum was very strong, as if it was about to take off his hands and take off. But Xiao Yezi still firmly grasped the end of the hilt of the sword, bowed down and smiled. Her smile was not mixed with a hint of smugness, and in a pair of dark eyes, all the scorching spurts were cunning and youthful vitality.

The re-elected Qingmei and Gao Lan were also moved by her passion. Gao Lan stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is the person Yang Tianwang likes, and he does have some skills." ”

Ren Qingmei glanced at Gao Lan lightly, and was about to speak. But seeing Yang Yizhao throw down the chopsticks, walk quickly behind the screen, relax his long arms, and hide the small leaves in his arms, not letting Gao Lan look at it again, and then turned his back to Ren Qingmei and smiled, although the words were gentle, but there was a domineering warning in his tone, and he said coldly: "Everyone has eaten and eaten, and I am happy, and I am also tired." Let me retire first, and when Sister Mei is interested next time, I will accompany the banquet. But...... Next time, I will forgive Shu Yan for the inconvenience of accompaniment. He grabbed Xiao Yezi's slender waist, carried her on his shoulders, ignored the people at the banquet, and left with a long smile.
