Volume 1: The Eighteenth Chapter of the Old Dream of Dingtao (II)
Until he entered the table, Wen Yuze sat down with his brother in a daze, completely forgetting the identity of his personal guard this time. The elder brother whispered to Wen Yuze on the side and didn't hear it, until the elder brother couldn't help coughing hard in Wen Yuze's ear, Wen Yuze came to his senses and got up with a shy face.
Seeing her embarrassment, the county lord next to her couldn't help but hide his face with his sleeves and snickered. Wen Yuze was embarrassed, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Yuan. He breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't see the scene just now.
Standing behind his brother, Wen Yuze couldn't help but look at everyone in the hall. On the table must be Emperor Dingtao Qingyang Xiu, he is wearing a dark gold embroidered dragon pattern robe today, and his hair bun is wearing a gold wire hollow hair crown, the pattern on it is a little unclear, looking gentle and elegant, the book is very heavy. The one next to him should be the crown prince's biological mother, the current queen Xin Wenyan, who is also in a dark golden palace dress and embroidered with a large peony. Sitting next to Qingyang Xiu, smiling lightly, he looked gentle and virtuous.
The county lord and his brother sat on the right seat of Qingyang Xiu, and on the left seat opposite the county lord, a thin middle-aged man sat down, it stands to reason that the court clothes of the hundred officials should be tailor-made, but Wen Yuze looked at him, but he was afraid that the robe would crush him.
On the left side opposite my brother is a sturdy middle-aged man, and I am afraid that he is a military attache in light armor. The military attache who can sit here in the position, apart from him, should be Uncle Anninghou. It seems that he has some ability, but he is definitely far worse than his brother.
After that, it was him, Wen Yuze's eyes just fell on Mu Yuanxi's case, and Mu Yuan looked back as if he had a sense. Seeing Wen Yuze's men's appearance, he was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled at Wen Yuze and raised his glass. Wen Yuze's cheeks were a little hot, and he quickly turned his head and continued to look at the person in his brother's right hand seat.
I just heard my brother call him, Prime Minister Zuo, that should be someone from the Sima family in Shuzhou. But looking at his appearance, he is very ordinary, doesn't it mean that Shuzhou Sima is talented, and I don't know what the relationship between this person and Lingyi Emperor Sima Zheng is.
Suddenly, I heard the polite officer shouting, "Open-seat-"
The palace maid waiting outside the hall brought the dishes in like a fish and a dragon, Wen Yuze looked a little greedy, but he had no choice but to have a special identity today, so he could only hold his mouth and stand obediently behind his brother. His eyes unintentionally drifted to the left seat, as if the man was deliberately making himself angry, and the food was extraordinarily delicious.
Wen Yuze was annoyed, and suddenly heard the sound of a flute outside the hall, and his eyes couldn't help but look away. I saw a lake blue light gauze water sleeve thrown into the temple gate, and the mountains and rivers embroidered on the water sleeve were presented in front of everyone. Before he could take a closer look, a beautiful dancer stepped into the hall with a happy spot, and turned around to take the water sleeve back.
At this time, the violinist in the hall started to play a harmony, and with the sound of the piano flute, six more dancers jumped into the hall one after another. They are lithe, leaping high forward, one leg bent, the other straight, arms outstretched, and their backs bent backwards. The wide sleeves and shawls of light gauze floated through the air as they leaped forward, and the dancing girls had slender necks and leaped high into the temple gate, somewhat like agile deer.
After entering the hall, the dancer walked to the open space in front of the table to continue the dance, and the musicians who entered the hall later left enough space for the dancer to sit around her. The dancing girls are graceful, and their faces are smiling and smiling when they appear and disappear under the water sleeves, and Wen Yuze, who is a woman, can't help but look straight at her. The sound of the piano flute next to his ears, Wen Yuze didn't feel pleasant, he only felt that the sound of this music was matched with the dance girl's every move, but it was like a requiem, which hooked away his divine consciousness at once. It's not that Wen Yuze hasn't seen singing and dancing in Dirong Palace, but the atmosphere in the palace is too solemn and tense, and he can't bring it into it because of his vigilant words and deeds.
Di Rong Wen family generations of military generals, although Wen Yuze has been practicing martial arts with his brother since he was a child, but in fact, Wen Yuze is sometimes very envious of the little girl who can dance, with a soft posture and a moving dancing posture.
"What does General Wen think I Dingtao's dance music is?"
It wasn't until the sound of the piano flute disappeared for a moment that Qingyang Xiu asked his brother that Wen Yuze withdrew his admiring and envious eyes.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Dingtao really raises people."
Wen Yuze looked at his brother's calm and calm demeanor, as if he had never seen this group of delicate dancing girls. Also, my brother has always disliked dance and music, and always said that these are beautiful sounds, and King Entropy is addicted to them that led to the chaos of Dijon. This group of dancing girls is so beautiful, Wen Yuze wants to see everyone here, who can sit still.
Looking around, I saw that except for the thin middle-aged man staring at his brother with bright eyes, he couldn't see any waves in his eyes, and everyone else was still reminiscing about Fang Cai's dance music. Sure enough, everyone is the same as themselves, after all, they are mortals, and they will be attracted by beautiful things, and people like my brother are only a few. However, everyone admired and appreciated, their eyes were still very clear, and they didn't see anyone fancy. I just didn't expect that he would be such a determined person as my brother, but I didn't expect it to be just a big deal.
"I have heard that Di Rong's family has been born with divine power for generations, and the double copper hammer is invincible on the battlefield. General Wen Yu has been quelling the chaos for Dirong in recent years, running around, and his reputation is far and wide. I have a friend who has admired General Wen Yu for many years, and I wonder if the general can appreciate his face today and learn a thing or two from this friend of mine. ”
Wen Yu had already been ordered by Li Jin, and on the occasion of making peace, he explored the reality of Tao's force, and happened to hear what Qingyang Xiu said, so he hurriedly ordered someone to get his own double copper hammer.
"Then Wen Yu is better than obeying his fate, but I don't know who the friend in King Dingtao's mouth is."
"It's not a secret, it's down there."
When he saw Mu Yuan get up from the banquet and respectfully salute Qingyang Xiu and Wen Yu, Wen Yuze was a little surprised, he didn't expect that King Dingtao's friend would be this new general.
Looking at the person who got up, although his body was a little strong, he could only be said to be slender compared to himself. Wen Yu was also a little surprised, disdainful and even a little funny, but he only adjusted his expression for a moment, after all, he was a messenger of peace, and he must not be rude.
Wen Yu took the double copper hammer brought by the servant, and walked to the open space in front of the table with Mu Yuan. Wen Yu saw that Mu Yuan was holding a broad-bladed bronze sword in his hand, although it looked a little weighty, he still held back the disdain on his face, saluted Mu Yuan with a fist, and made a gesture of please.
Knowing that his brother's kung fu was unbeatable, he didn't know why Wen Yuze was a little nervous, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, crumpling the corners of his clothes.
Mu Yuan knew that Wen Yu's double copper hammer weighed forty kilograms, and if he was really hammered, his internal organs would definitely be seriously injured, so he could only take the opportunity to attack while dodging the copper hammer attack, and never take the opportunity to attack head-on.
Mu Yuan raised his sword and stabbed Wen Yu in the left shoulder, Wen Yu didn't even raise the double copper hammer to defend, only moved back with his left foot, and dodged Mu Yuan's attack with one side. Mu Yuan saw that Wen Yu was just dodging, and he had no intention of attacking, so he immediately stabbed at Wen Yu's right foot.
Wen Yu turned sideways, his body was unstable at this time, and he held a double copper hammer in front of him, stopping Mu Yuan's bronze sword.
Mu Yuan was stunned in his hand, seeing that Wen Yu was adjusting the contact position of the copper hammer and the bronze sword, he expected that Wen Yu was likely to use the power of his downward pressure and the power of the copper hammer to push his sword aside and resolve his sword momentum. Compared with strength, he can't compare to Wen Yu, Mu Yuan hurriedly drew the sword back before Wen Yu raised the copper hammer.
This attack failed, and Mu Yuan decided to take advantage of the flaws in Wen Yu's defense when he attacked, and attacked.
Wen Yu took Mu Yuan's blow here, feeling that this kid's body was not strong, but his strength was still not small, and his body was quite passable, so he put away his contempt a little, lifted the copper hammer, and slashed at the top of Mu Yuan's head.
Mu Yuan only felt a strong wind in front of the door, and hurriedly leaned back, dodging the copper hammer, and then twisted his body to the left, and hit Wen Yu's right arm with his left palm, dissolving Wen Yu's downward force. While Wen Yu was adjusting his center of gravity, Mu Yuan trotted a few steps, stepped on the pillar wall in the hall, held his sword in the air, and slashed his whole body weight towards Wen Yu. Wen Yu did not dodge, crossed the double copper hammer, and steadily received Mu Yuan's blow. Kicking the ground with both feet, he shouted, and pushed Mu Yuan out above. Mu Yuan adjusted his center of gravity in the air, landed steadily, and attacked Wen Yu with his sword again.
The two of you come and go, fighting heartily, it seems that Mu Yuan is dexterous and has the opportunity everywhere, but in fact, Wen Yu's defense is solid, and Mu Yuan does not have an advantage. On the contrary, Mu Yuan's physical strength has been exhausted a lot after dozens of rounds, and Wen Yu is unhurried and can't see his strength.
Wen Yu saw that Mu Yuan was already a little sweaty on his forehead, thinking that this person was nothing more than that, and his right hand clenched the copper hammer and swung it towards Wen Yu's waist. Wen Yu originally thought that no matter how Mu Yuan dodged, he raised his spirit and struggled to give him the final blow.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yuan took a step back, jumped up, stepped on the copper hammer on his toes, jumped with his strength, turned over in the air, and stabbed Wen Yu in the back with his sword.
Wen Yu felt a chill in his vest, quickly turned sideways, his feet were light, and he was already outside Mu Yuan's attack range after a few turns. Mu Yuan saw Wen Yu's move to make a quick move, and he knew that he had not used all his strength to recruit Wen Yu before, and he was shaking, and he had time to retract his strength in the future, and the bronze sword pierced straight into the stone slab on the ground.
Knowing that he was not Wen Yu's opponent at all, when he stood firm, Mu Yuan pulled out his bronze sword, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Wen Yu,
"General Wen is sure enough, he is born with divine power, and a pair of copper hammers can make a tiger and a tiger make the wind wind. Mu Yuan really admired. ”
Wen Yuze let go of his hands that grabbed the corners of his clothes, and breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, he was fine. Although I knew in my heart that my brother would be difficult to meet an opponent, I was inevitably a little disappointed. With contradictory and complicated feelings, Wen Yuze looked at Mu Yuan, but he didn't expect to raise his head after saluting, Wen Yuze didn't see in his eyes that there was no jealousy, anger, and unwillingness, but some were frank and appreciative.
In Di Rong, who was accustomed to seeing the ministers and soldiers who were deceived and deceitful, Wen Yuze only felt that Mu Yuan's smile at the moment was particularly dazzling, and he was unconsciously deeply attracted. For a while, the guests and the noise in the hall disappeared, and only himself and Mu Yuan were the only ones who could be seen around, and all they could hear was the sound of their own breathing.
Suddenly, someone called out, "Madame, ma'am." Wen Yuze was still wondering who was the lady, and when he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw a personal maid. Yes, he has been married to Yuanjun for many years, and at this time, Yuanjun has suffered injustice. Wen Yuze sat up from the soft couch and felt that his underwear was soaked with sweat. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, it was already dark, and the lights were already in the house.
The lights were a little bright, and the maid saw Wen Yuze covering his eyes with his hands, so she quickly took the candle lamp next to the soft couch farther away.
"But there's a reply from the palace?"
"Madam, this is for you by the lady lady." The maid took out a white handkerchief from her bosom, and you could see that there were ink stains coming through.
Wen Yuze hurriedly opened the silk handkerchief and asked the maid to bring the candle lamp closer. Wen Yuze hurriedly read it, his hands were still stiff and the silk handkerchief was not put down for a long time, and he didn't feel the tears dripping and blurring the ink.
Yes, since the death of the first queen, the emperor rarely comes to the palace of the concubine, and now the mother is also powerless in this matter. Moreover, Concubine Shu's letter mentioned that the emperor was also shocked when he heard about this, although he did not believe that Yuanjun would kill the good and take the merits, but the book of the president of the Shang Alliance was conclusive, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes, so he had to issue an order to wait for Yuanjun to investigate the matter thoroughly after returning to the capital. I remember that the emperor and Mu Yuan were friends when they were young, and they had been in love with the monarch and ministers for many years, and now they only hope that the emperor can save Yuanjun.
Wen Yuze couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his tears, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the bronze mirror on the dresser. In the mirror, this person with red and swollen eyes, white cheeks, and hairpins scattered is still his former self, how can he face him like this when Yuanjun comes back.
Wen Yuze hurriedly instructed the maid to dress up for himself, and suddenly thought that it was dark, so he hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare dinner, and then called Qing Mo and Qing Ge to his own place.
"Madam, the young lady and the young master have been waiting for you to wake up in the side room of the courtyard, and the slave and maid will go and call them."
Wen Yuze suddenly felt that he was sorry for these children, and he only cared about his own sadness, completely forgetting that they were destined to be six gods and no masters at this time, and he didn't take into account their state of mind at all.
"Mother! There are a lot of mothers, and they just scared Qing Mo to death. Mu Qingmo trotted all the way from the side room into Wen Yuze's room, and threw himself into Wen Yuze's arms, sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulders. Although Mu Qingge was a few steps slower, his face was also full of tears, and he rushed into Wen Yuze's arms.
"My mother is fine, but I have some heat stroke." Wen Yuze hugged the two sisters and brothers, and kept touching their heads with his hands to comfort them.
"Mother, what should Daddy do?"
"Qingge, Qingmo don't be afraid, daddy has good conduct, and he will be fine." After that, he took the clean handkerchief from the maid's hand and gently wiped the tears from the faces of the two.
