Mu Churan looked at his sister's excited appearance, and felt that although this trip to the south was a little unpleasant, it was not bad. Glancing at the queen mother again, Leng Qingzhen also had a look of admiration on her face, but Mu Churan always felt that something was wrong.

Leng Qingxing's fingers flexed slightly, tapping on the table quite rhythmically, but the rhythm was not the rhythm of the song. There was clearly some anxiety in her eyes that could not be hidden, as if she was anxiously waiting for something.

Then he looked at the people in the seat.

Li Zhaoting talked and laughed with Lynn, and from time to time he said some interesting things about foreign customs.

Rarely set foot out of the imperial capital, this time was specially brought out by His Majesty Liu Shenming Liu, obviously attracted by the folk songs here, so simple and elegant, it turns out that in addition to the imperial capital, Jiuzhou is also a wonderful place.

Xiao He couldn't care about yesterday's fatigue, drinking the crisp bamboo leaves, and looked intently.

Ji Changge looked at him and told him to drink less from time to time.

Duan Heng drank and chatted among the nobles, singing and dancing. Although these noble children were not very willing to be with Duan Heng, they were jealous of his status as a noble prince and a relative, and they flattered him. Duan Heng looked at them like this and felt very funny in his heart, anyway, he was also smiling on his lips, as for whether it was ridicule or sneering, what did it matter?

From time to time, he pretended to glance at Xiao He unintentionally, thinking to himself.

Heh-Xiao He really didn't want to die, he almost lost his life yesterday, and he was still drinking today, what do you think about drinking tea? This stupid boy, he usually looks quite smart, he likes to watch singing and dancing, you say, I Duan Shizi will take you to see it. And the Ji Changge next to him, you just let him drink it? If it weren't for the fact that your "Hanshan Yin" was still a little interesting, how could this son help you, and it would be particularly unpleasant to look at you today.

Duan Heng wanted to think about it, but his hands kept moving. He played with the jade chopsticks with one hand and turned them into circles; The cup in the other hand kept going. All the unpleasantness was mixed into the glass of wine and drunk.

On the side is his sister Duan Shengyi. Unlike other aristocratic ladies who listened to songs and danced with great interest and studied the costumes of dancing girls, Duan Shengyi was extremely silent today, staring at the dancing people with her eyes blankly, neither speaking nor moving chopsticks, as if something was pressing on her heart.

After the performances one by one, everyone's interest was particularly high.

The rhythm of cold light marks tapping on the table is also becoming more and more frequent. The voice was faint, and it was especially inconspicuous in this lively song and dance.

The last song and dance, which is also tonight's finale, is "Yue Ren Song". This one is not like before, it is a local song in Jiuzhou. This song is popular in ancient Yuedi, in order to create a cold atmosphere of the story, by the time of this song, the lights on the dragon boat have been extinguished a lot.

The woman's beautiful singing voice sounded, and the dancers dressed in ancient Yue style clothes and wearing Yue Tu Teng pattern masks took their places.

"Tonight, the boat is in the middle of the stream.

Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

Shame is good, not shameful.

The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince.

The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king. ”

It's beautiful, soft, and a little mournful. Yes, there are trees on the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, I like you, why don't you know?

Even though he heard it once, Xiao He still felt that there was a lot of affection in it. Not to mention the others present who had never heard of it.

Mu Churan held the cup in his right hand and took a sip from time to time, obviously listening very seriously; Princess Wan'er stared at the masks, a little curious and a little afraid; The Queen Mother's fingers did not tap on the table at the moment, but hid under the wide cuffs; The noble ladies seemed to be intoxicated one by one.

Duan Heng looked at the reactions of everyone present listening to the song, and estimated that after returning to the imperial capital, this song would soon spread in the streets and alleys.

Song House Restaurant Bar. Whatever the aristocratic society likes, the common people will blindly follow what they like, which they have already discovered when they traveled around before.

The smile on the corner of Duan Heng's mouth became more and more disdainful.

But soon, the smile on his lips cooled.

He noticed that the one who was leading the dance seemed to be a little different from the dancer he had tried to dance before. This may not be seen by Ji Changge and Xiao He, but it is definitely difficult to skip their eyes.

When trying to dance, the movement and rhythm are excellent, the body is soft, and the whole dance is very orderly. But this one, obviously, is not specialized in dancing "Yue Ren Song", probably with his dancing skills, he has studied for a few days, and he dares to make up for such a thing, what happened to Ji Changge?

Duan Heng glanced at Ji Changge and found that his eyes also showed suspicion and incomprehension.

Duan Heng looked at the leading dancer again, his eyes were always looking at His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, and his mask concealed the unreal eyes, which clearly revealed a hint of murderous intent.

He smiled in his heart, no wonder this person seemed quite strange to dance, it turned out that it was not a dance foundation, but a martial arts foundation. Mu Churan, you also have today. If that's the case, then I'll pretend I didn't see it.

Then he had fun and fun, drank and threw himself, and he was not comfortable for a while.

In the blink of an eye, half of this song and dance had passed, and during the accompaniment time in the middle, everyone lowered their heads to talk and discuss, and Mu Churan was also talking to his sister.

As Duan Heng expected, the lead dancer made a move. Just as the dancers moved backwards as a whole, she stepped forward alone as the lead dancer. When everyone thought that this was a dance arrangement, the woman quickly pulled out a soft sword from her loose waist and stabbed it directly at Mu Churan.

The lights on the dragon boat were faint at the moment, and everyone only felt that the cold light flashed and couldn't see what it really was. Mu Churan couldn't dodge, and at this time, a long sword picked up the cold light from one side, and the person who came was Ji Changge, who had already seen that something was wrong before. Who knew that this woman didn't want to entangle with Ji Changge, and stabbed Mu Churan again.

Mu Churan was safe for himself, but he was surrounded by Mu Qingwan and the Queen Mother, who were so frightened, that he couldn't escape if he was entangled for a while. Whether His Majesty was stabbed or not was a matter of moments, and the guards had already raised their bows and arrows. Seeing that the time was urgent, this woman actually took out her sword more and more quickly, and she was dodged by Mu Churan. Suddenly, on the side of the cold light, it was changed to stab straight at Mu Qingwan. Mu Churan was shocked, and he didn't have time to defend or dodge, so he had to turn around and hug his sister tightly.

The sword sank into the flesh and bones, and blood gushed out.

But it's not Mu Churan.

The soft sword was close to his side, and Mu Churan clearly heard the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, but he didn't stab himself. He looked back vaguely in a bloody aura, but this look was very startled. The one who threw himself behind him to block this sword for him turned out to be Xiao He, who was disgusted and pale.

Mu Churan only felt as if a thunderbolt had slashed through his brain, exploding into a buzzing roar. Ji Changge, who was beside him, looked at this scene, and was also surprised for a while, and stopped the sword in his hand in a trance.

Seeing that Mu Churan was not stabbed, the woman took advantage of the moment when the two people in front of her were stunned for a moment to reduce the pressure slightly, and was about to escape.

Unexpectedly, Mu Churan, who was stunned before, suddenly let go of the curtain Qingwan who had been protecting him in his arms, and snatched the cold Izumo Sword in Ji Chang's singer in just an instant, and the undisguised anger made the sword qi in his hand skyrocket for a while.

The mask on the face of the woman who assassinated was splashed with Xiao He's red blood, which was not obvious on the black background, but it was extremely demonic. At this moment, in Mu Churan's eyes, it was the best color to urge killing.

"Since Your Excellency is here, you will be safe, and if you have the ability to hurt people, why should you leave in a hurry?"

Mu Churan's thin lips spit out this sentence coldly, and the wind of the overlord of the world was fully revealed.

Immediately deceived himself, the Izumo sword was sharp, and the move was aimed at the opponent's vital point. Under such a fierce suppression, the woman was not as secure as before at this time, and she was a little flustered.

Duan Heng looked at the sudden change in the situation in front of him, and the jade chopsticks that he had been holding and playing with in his hands had long since lost where he had fallen.

Mu Churan, you are really blessed. Yesterday saved Xiao He's life, and today he will come to return you.

Hmph - he was going to kill you, but today he saved you. The grievances in this world have always been knotted, is this a good show that you like to watch go around and around? Duan Heng looked very panicked on his face, but the mockery on the corner of his mouth proved that he was not the same kind of person as the people around him who were so frightened that they almost ran away.

Looking at Duan Shengyi again, the woman in the boudoir was so frightened that she covered her mouth and exclaimed, although she looked at Mu Churan on the tip of her heart who was in danger, she was very worried in her heart, but she didn't dare to step forward.

In his heart, he still hates and secretly says, Xiao He, Xiao He again, he is still flattering His Majesty at this juncture, it is really a demon.

However, no matter how much she hated Xiao He in her heart, she never took a step under her feet.

The ministers who had been seated in an orderly manner on the boat were also in a state of flux in the face of this sudden assassination.

Li Zhaoting, the head of the household, looked calm in the face of this murderous scene, and poured himself a drink. The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Lynn, was very puzzled when he saw this.

"The scene in front of you is so dangerous, how can Brother Zhaoting be as stable as Mount Tai?"

When faced with Lynn, he was very puzzled and had some misunderstandings. This Lord Li stopped the cup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked lightly at the scene where His Majesty was still not out of danger, and everyone was crying in panic. Turning slightly to the side, he sat down and looked at Lynn. Speak lightly.

"Master Lin has martial arts on him?" Lynn was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to ask like this, and shook her head.

"What does Lord Lin think he should be doing at this moment? Do you come to the rescue with flesh and blood? Lin Enfu shook his head again.

"Then Lord Lin, how can you and I be so virtuous that we can be assassinated with such a large amount of money?" These words made Lynn wake up like a dream, and Li Zhaoting spoke again, "There are many capable guards over there, so there is no need for you and me to go to death." We might as well learn from Lord Liu and protect ourselves. ”

Lynn glanced at the Willow-sama, who was holding on to a nearby guard to protect her. kept muttering "It's better to be the emperor" and "It's better to be the emperor". His body was shaking, but the situation seemed to be safe.

Let's see how people reacted.

The palace maid who was holding the silver plate in a dignified manner, and the waiter who held the lamp in her hand were all out of order at this moment. The plate fell to the ground, spilling the precious white jade soup, the palace lantern was casually discarded by the fleeing waiter, and the fire began to slowly ignite on the edge of the dragon boat.
