Chapter 35: Sword Dance

Yan Linyu sat in his position, looking at the fire trees and silver flowers in the sky, which was beautiful. He took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Linjun, you are too extravagant. ”

"The imperial brother is the Ninety-Five, what is this pomp and circumstance?" Yan Linjun smiled slightly, not caring.

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have complained about your extravagance and extravagance, and you should be a little more restrained, otherwise I will not be able to speak for you anymore."

"Your Majesty, you are just too merciful!" Yan Linjun glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "So those civil and military officials speak louder than you one by one!" ”

In the face of sarcasm, Yan Linyu didn't take it to heart, just looked at him and said, "The people of the Northern Barbarians, go back?" ”

Yan Linjun's face changed slightly, and then he said easily: "Go back, and make a lot of money from them!" ”

"You, you, the Northern Barbarians dare to make money, it's really a tiger's mouth!"

"My brother has always liked to do this kind of thing. Brother Huang, it's not that you don't know! ”

Yan Linyu didn't speak, just nodded, and then leaned back in the chair, revealing a slightly tired expression.

"The girl of the Xu family, there are sixteen this year, right?"

Yan Linjun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, worthy of the four words of motherhood in the world." ”

"The last time I saw her, she was still an eight or nine-year-old girl, dressed in a joyful manner, holding Arou's hand at the post-sealing ceremony, and happily calling my brother. In the blink of an eye, it's a sixteen-year-old girl! ”

"Brother Huang, you have been on the throne for eight years." Yan Linjun took a sip of wine, and his thoughts seemed to return to that time.

"Who would have thought that little girl would become my queen." Yan Linyu sighed and said, "Ah, I don't want to be the queen!" ”

Ah Huan is Yan Linjun's nickname, and no one has mentioned it for a long time.

Yan Linjun turned his head and looked at his brother. The heavy responsibility of this world has made him grow a trace of gray hair when he is just thirty. Dayan is peaceful on the surface, but only he, the person in power, knows the troubles.

"Your Majesty, there are no concubines in your harem, and the heirs are weak, which is a taboo for the royal family." Yan Linjun picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Yan Linyu and said: "Brother is here, congratulations to the royal brother for finding a beautiful woman and opening up the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible!" ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yan Linyu's mouth, and then he drank the glass of wine expressionlessly.

At this time, the drum beat loudly, attracting Yan Linyu's attention, Lin Yufu was walking towards the two of them in a gorgeous red dance dress, she had a crisp bell tied on her feet, her hair was tied high, and she looked heroic and charming.

But what makes people feel most concerned is that she is actually holding a sword in her hand, and the blade of the sword is chilling under the light.

"Escort!" The surrounding guards immediately drew their swords to protect Yan Linyu's front.

"What is all the fuss? Retire! Yan Linyu frowned dissatisfiedly and retreated from them.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Yufu walked up to them and knelt down respectfully.

"What do you mean, Miss Yufu?" Yan Linyu asked with a smile.

"If you go back to the emperor, although the drum dance is the best dance of the people's daughters, but it is danced day and night, and almost half of the people in Beijing have seen my dance, and there is no novelty for a long time. So the folk girl plans to dedicate a new dance to the emperor to smile at Bo Longyan. ”

When Yan Linyu heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Oh? Then I'm blessed with eyes! He raised his hand and motioned for Lin Yufu to start.

She slowly stepped on the huge drum and stepped lightly. The drum skin is sturdy, and the drum beat is dull. She thought that she was fortunate that she was Lin Yufu, if Zhao Yuru's body stepped on it, no matter how strong the drum skin was, she would be able to crush it.

Yan Linjun sat in his position, his brows furrowed. What exactly does this Lin Yufu want to do?

The musician started to play under Lin Yufu's instructions, this is actually the "Breaking Array Song" that Zhao Yuru once played during the day!

It's just that compared with Zhao Yuru's outstanding drumming, this song is more magnificent, but it is also a little less rough and a little more delicate.

Lin Yufu raised the sword in his hand and pulled a beautiful sword flower.

She can't dance, and the only thing she can do with dancing is sword dancing.

She only knew one set of swordsmanship in her life, and that was the swordsmanship that her mother had passed on to her.

This set of swordsmanship was once disliked by her, and it was more than feminine, but it was not practical. Especially her fat figure, dancing with this light step, and the fancy swordsmanship of the sword style is even more ridiculous.

She still likes to practice her knife and marksmanship, but it's one of the few things her mother left her, and even though she never used it, she still keeps it in mind.

And the same swordsmanship, on different people, also has different effects.

Lin Yufu is standing there is a landscape, let alone a sword dance?

She temporarily changed some movements to make this set of swordsmanship look more like a set of dances, and the effect was not bad in the past, and after a few moves, it attracted applause from the audience.

But in Yan Linjun's eyes, this was not the case, he only saw the murderous aura surrounded by sword light, and every sword Lin Yufu wielded seemed to be piercing his heart.

Not only Yan Linjun, but Yan Linyu also saw the strangeness in this.

The blade of the sword danced, every time it was so just against Yan Linjun, he even thought that if the sword was out of his hand, it would be Yan Linjun who would be stabbed to death in the next second.

His younger brother owes a lot of romantic debts!

With the sound of drums, Lin Yufu gradually entered the state. She seemed to have changed back to the original Zhao Yuru, and saw her mother back then, who was such a person and a sword, protecting herself until she died of exhaustion.

"The people of the Zhao family are glorious to be able to die on the battlefield. Ru'er, don't cry. Be optimistic about your mother's swordsmanship, if you can use this swordsmanship to kill the enemy in the future, it will be the greatest comfort to your mother! ”

These were the last words her mother said to herself before she died.

At the age of eight, she was tied to her mother, blood was sprinkled on her face, her throat was hoarse, blood and tears mixed together and flowed into her mouth, it was the blood of her mother, the blood of the enemy, the blood of countless unjust souls!

Later, her father finally arrived, but her mother could not stand up again.

At that time, she only hated her weakness. If she could be as strong as her brother, she wouldn't be a drag, and her mother wouldn't be dead.

So from then on, she was determined to become a hero who could be compared to her father, guarding the land of Dayan.

How can there be any natural divine power, she gets up early and greedy to carry water, without a flat burden, relying on her two arms, carrying a bucket to fill a hundred catties of water tank, day after day, year after year.

In fact, Zhao Guanming didn't want her to work so hard, he also hoped that Zhao Yuru could become a lady, embroider female red, and write poems on the piano.

But Zhao Yuru chose to defend his family and the country.

As a child of the Zhao family, he should have lived a glorious life on the battlefield, instead of being protected, giving birth to children for a man in the back house, and living a dull life.

Her mother's words are still in her ears, and if she can use this sword technique to kill an enemy, it will be the greatest consolation to her mother.

What is an enemy? Those who threaten Dayan's safety are all enemies!

She froze, and the sound of the bell and drum came to an abrupt halt. What Jian Feng is referring to is Yan Linjun!

Everyone was stunned by this dazzling pace and swordsmanship, and after slowing down for a while, the county lord of Yulin took the lead in applauding.

Yan Linyu also came back to his senses and clapped with a smile.

Only Yan Linjun's face became heavier and heavier.

He felt that that murderous aura was not something that ordinary people could have. It was the murderous aura of stepping on the corpses of thousands of people on the battlefield and seeing purgatory on earth. Under the drumbeat of "Breaking the Array", in every move of the swordsmanship, there is a killing intent for him.

"Good, that's good!" He raised his hand and applauded her.

This is the first time that Yan Linjun has been shocked by a person's killing intent.

What a Lin Yufu, I'm reluctant to kill you.

Yan Linjun smiled, his eyes gradually deepened. looked at Lin Yufu as if he was looking at a prey.

Lin Yufu also felt Yan Linjun's gaze, but she was not afraid at all, clenched the sword in her hand, and looked directly at him, if she had the opportunity, she would definitely cut his throat with this sword without blinking.

"Miss Yufu, this sword dance is the most beautiful I have ever seen!" Yan Linyu said with a smile: "Well deserved, fifth brother, you are really blessed with eyes!" ”

"yes!" The county lord of Yulin echoed on the side: "Other people's sword dances are all soft, and the sword is like a ribbon in the hand. It's not useful. Lin Yufu's sword dance is as imposing as an army. It's so pretty! ”

"Do you like Yulin?" Yan Linyu turned around and asked.

"Like! Brother Emperor, I like it so much! I want to learn! ”

"I like it too!" Yan Linyu curled the corners of his mouth and hooked his hand towards Lin Yufu.

Lin Yufu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt at Yan Linyu's feet.

"If you have anything you want, you can tell me!" Yan Linyu said gently: "Say it! ”

She was slightly stunned, raised her head, and just wanted to tell Yan Linjun's conspiracy, she saw Yan Linjun take a step forward and kneel in front of Yan Linyu.

"Brother dare to ask for a favor for Miss Yufu!"

"Oh?" Yan Linyu was a little curious. And Lin Yufu's heart floated with a trace of bad premonition.

"The younger brother wants to marry Miss Yufu as a concubine, and ask the emperor to fulfill it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

The most surprising person was Lin Yufu!

She immediately stood up, pointed at Yan Linjun and said, "I don't want this grace!" Emperor! I don't marry him! ”

Yan Linjun didn't get angry when he heard this, just turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, didn't I ask you for a name?" ”

"Yan Linjun, you ······ mess"

Before the words "chaotic ministers and thieves" were spoken, Yan Linjun immediately stood up, grabbed her thin waist, and kissed Lin Yufu lightly regardless of how many people were present!

At this time, even Yan Linyu was a little stunned.

What's going on?

Lin Yufu's eyes widened, and Yan Linjun could even see her appearance in her eyes.

"Fifth brother!" Yan Linyu coughed twice before he let go of Lin Yufu.

And Lin Yufu's mind was already blank, what was Yan Linjun doing? In the morning, you have to give yourself three feet of white silk, and you have to accept her as a concubine at night?

What the hell did he think?

Could it be that he wants to use a beautiful man trick to make himself stop?

It's also wishful thinking.

"Ahh Are you crazy? The county lord of Yulin suddenly rushed forward and pushed Lin Yufu away as if he had eaten a cannon battle, and then pointed at Yan Linjun and said, "Brother Linjun! She's a green building woman! How can you take her as a concubine? Even if you don't like me, you can't take her as a concubine! ”

But Yan Linjun completely ignored the roar of the Yulin County Lord, and just wiped his mouth, as if he was still reminiscing about the kiss.

Lin Yufu felt that she was humiliated, and she couldn't wait to rush forward and kill Yan Linjun now.

"Alright, you come with me!" Yan Linyu's face was also not good. He didn't agree immediately, but just let Lin Yufu follow him away.

Yan Linjun saw them leave, a relieved smile appeared on his face, then sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it to himself.

"Brother Linjun! You're crazy! The county lord of Yulin ran away crying, leaving only the dignitaries and nobles who looked at each other at the banquet, and they wished that they did not appear in this place at this moment.

Lin Yufu followed Yan Linyu to Yan Linjun's study, and after seeing him retreat from everyone, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! The folk girl didn't want to marry the King of Huaiyang! ”

"I know!" Yan Linyu sat on the chair and casually picked up the paperweight on Yan Linjun's table to play with.

"Actually, the people's daughter has something she wants to tell the emperor!" Lin Yufu raised his head and said, "I want to report Huaiyang Wang Yan Linjun!" ”

"Really?" Yan Linyu looked at her and said, "What are you going to denounce him?" ”

"The King of Huaiyang collaborated with the enemy and treason, and had dealings with the Northern Barbarian royal family! Just before you came to the palace, the king of Huaiyang was about to execute me because I discovered this secret! Lin Yufu lay on the ground and said: "The Northern Barbarians have always been our Great Yan's henchmen, and Lord Qi Yun, who guards the border of the Northern Barbarians, is very old, if there are people in our Great Yan at this time who should cooperate with them inside and outside, then it is only a matter of time before the Northern Barbarians set foot on the land of Great Yan!" ”

Yan Linyu's gaze also sank, and at first glance, he was still a little similar to Yan Linjun.

"Wouldn't I know these things? It's you, a woman in the Qinglou, who cares about the affairs of Dayan and Beiban, what do you want? ”

"I ······" Lin Yufu was stunned, didn't Yan Linyu believe herself?

"The folk girl really saw the correspondence between the King of Huaiyang and the Northern Barbarian royal family! There is a totem of the Northern Barbarian royal family in it, you can't go wrong! Your Majesty, you must not raise a tiger for trouble! ”

"Presumptuous!" Yan Linyu suddenly became angry, and Lin Yufu hurriedly lay on the ground, not knowing what to do.

"The reputation of the King of Huaiyang is also something you can slander?" He slowly stepped forward, picked up Lin Yufu's chin, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "The totem of the Northern Barbarian royal family, how do you know?" ”

"I ······ I've seen people from the Northern Barbarian royal family before! They came to see me! Lin Yufu replied stumblingly.

"Then can I also say that you are colluding with the Northern Barbarians?"

"Your Majesty?" Lin Yufu really didn't know what to say this time.

"The King of Huaiyang is just ordered to do business with the Northern Barbarians, and there are many side branches of the Northern Barbarian royal family, so it is not strange that there are royal imprints on the correspondence!" Yan Linyu sat back in his seat and said, "It's you, I'm curious, why do you care about these things?" ”

Lin Yufu didn't believe her ears a little, was Yan Linyu excusing Yan Linjun? Shouldn't he have ordered someone to come and rummage through the things in the study, find out the evidence, and then take Yan Linjun down?

"There should still be evidence in the study······"

"I ask you! Why do you care about these things? Yan Linyu asked again, and he could see that he was really a little angry.

Lin Yufu was a little desperate in her heart, thinking that she had found evidence that could make Yan Linjun subdue. But she never expected that the emperor would personally excuse him?

Doesn't he want this?

"In the sixteenth year of Qiyuan, Dayan was defeated and ceded the five states of Guanxi to Xiji. In the tenth year of Fengqing, Dayan was defeated, ceded the important town of Dongyu to Daqin, and sent the eldest princess of Fuxiang and his relatives. From Qiyuan to Fengqing, in the past 30 years, Dayan has sent a total of five princesses and relatives, including the emperor's aunt, the eldest princess of Jialing! The place where she kissed was Beiban. You remember what happened to her! ”

Lin Yufu raised her head and stared at Yan Linyu, word by word, telling these past histories. These are all things that keep her father awake day and night! It's a shame that their Zhao family knows in their hearts!

"Shut up!" Yan Linyu was really angry this time.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Even if the emperor asks me to shut up, can I make the people of Dayan shut up? Do you think the people of Dayan have forgotten all this history? The eldest princess of Jialing, and pro-Beiban, two years later, Xiang Xiaoyu died. Dayan sent people forward, but she didn't even have her bones back. Pity her, golden branches and jade leaves, and die in a foreign land. It was Lord Qi Yun, riding alone, and snatched the princess's jade body from them and came back for burial. In the first year of Taikang, Lord Qiyun took back the important town of Dongyu. In the fifth year of Taikang, Lord Zhao Guanming led the Zhao family army to recapture the five states of Guanxi. Although the folk girl is a Qinglou woman, she is also the people of Dayan, and I also know what it means to not give an inch of land! ”

Yan Linyu looked at Lin Yufu's appearance, and suddenly thought of another person.

"What else do you have to say?"

"The folk girl just wants to denounce the king of Huaiyang, that's all. I know that your majesty is a Ming monarch. Right and wrong, you know what is right and wrong. It is useless for the people to talk too much. Today's remarks are disrespectful. But to say these disrespectful words to you is the grace I want to ask for today! Your Majesty, now that Daqin and Xiji are eyeing each other, Lord Qi Yun has been in poor health since the death of the queen mother, if the King of Huaiyang colludes with the Northern Barbarians, once the war starts, how many princesses can you send to make peace? ”

"Presumptuous! Licentious! Yan Linyu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hit Lin Yufu, but Lin Yufu stalked his neck, and his stubborn eyes suddenly made him unable to do it.

"Okay, Lin Yufu, what a loyal woman, what an Oiran lady!" Yan Linyu laughed three times and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his throat.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Yufu was shocked and hurriedly stood up to help him.

"Silence!" Yan Linyu waved his hand, then looked at her and said, "Clean up the blood stains on the ground, don't say anything about this matter!" ”

"Your Majesty, ······ you"

Xu is heart was depressed, and Yan Linyu's anger disappeared a lot.

"It's sick!" With a relaxed smile on his face, he looked at Lin Yufu and said, "I understand what you said." But I also tell you one thing, the king of Huaiyang is the most loyal person to Dayan. With that said, I will save your life, and don't be foolish enough to provoke him again. Otherwise, he really kills you, and I can't protect you! ”

"Your Majesty, why?" Lin Yufu's heart was sour, because he saw the white hair on Yan Linyu's head.

"You'll understand later!" Yan Linyu smiled softly, then touched her sideburns, and said softly: "But seeing you, I can know that everyone in Dayan has such a patriotic heart, and I am very relieved." ”

Lin Yufu lowered her head, how did the emperor know that she would say these words because she was not Lin Yufu, but Zhao Yuru!

Really Lin Yufu, I'm afraid that when I start a fight, I will run faster than anyone else with my own jewelry!

The dinner was coming to an end, and Lin Yufu helped Yan Linyu out. Everyone was even speculating whether Yan Linyu was lucky enough to take Lin Yufu and ready to take her into the palace!

"Brother Huang!" Yan Linjun stood up, looked at Lin Yufu, who was silent on the side, and said with a smile: "I don't know how you talked?" ”

"Fifth brother, you have always been a lover, I can understand. But Miss Yufu and you have very different identities, and they can't be your concubines. It's reluctant to be a side concubine. So forget it, I also asked, she didn't want to! ”

Yan Linjun looked at Lin Yufu, and his eyes were unusually gentle.

Lin Yufu licked her lips and said softly: "Lord Wang, Yufu's status is humble and she is not worthy of the prince. It's good to be by the prince's side, and there is nothing else to ask for. Besides······" She paused, then continued: "Yufu wants to be a free finch in the clouds, not a parrot in a golden cage for people's amusement. Lord Wang, your love for Yufu has been understood! ”

Yan Linjun's expression was as usual, he nodded and said, "I don't want to be a parrot brother in a golden wire cage for fun, okay, it's this king who is abrupt!" ”

Yan Linyu saw that the situation had stabilized, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, fifth brother, you have such a confidante, I am also envious!" ”

After speaking, he said to everyone: "Miss Yufu has asked me for grace, that is, to perform this sword dance at the Queen's Ceremony. I agreed! ”

"The emperor is wise!" Those people can only echo the words.

"Your dancing is really wonderful, I think Zhao'er and Su'er will like it. Fifth brother, you can take Miss Yufu into the palace when you have time! These days, it's up to you to take care of her! ”

"Obey the will of the imperial brother!" Yan Linjun said with a smile.

This girl asked for a talisman for herself, so that before the sealing ceremony, he couldn't let her lose a single hair!

After saying what should be said, Yan Linyu took everyone back to the palace.

Soon, the lively banquet instantly became deserted, and Lin Yufu sat there, as if she had let go of her guard, and actually began to eat the food on the table.

Looking at her gobbling up, she doesn't look like a person walking around the ghost gate at all.

"Miss Yufu really has a good appetite!"

"Man lives for this mouth. No matter how rough it is, I won't treat my mouth badly! Lin Yufu said while eating. She had only eaten breakfast today, and she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

"Okay, then you can eat!" Yan Linjun glanced at him, stood up and prepared to go back.

"Wait!" Lin Yufu hurriedly stopped him.

"I don't know why you're angry and want to kill me today. But······ But I still want to ask, is what you said at night true? ”

"Huh?" Yan Linjun turned his head.

"Or, kill me or marry me, which is your true heart?" Lin Yufu was holding a chicken leg in her hand, and her bones were about to be broken by her.

Yan Linjun looked at Lin Yufu, hesitated for a moment, didn't answer, just turned around and left without looking back.

What Lin Yufu didn't know was that Yan Linjun had heard every word she had just said.

"Although the people's daughter is a Qinglou woman, she is also a citizen of Dayan, and I also know what it means to not give an inch of land!"

"Not an inch of land?" Yan Linjun recalled this sentence and suddenly laughed.

He understood Lin Yufu's weirdness, understood what she did, and understood her hostility and killing intent towards him.

That's because she regards herself as Dayan's enemy!

At this moment, he suddenly had a different feeling in his heart, why would a woman in a green house think about these things?
