Chapter 42: Drunken Life and Dream Death
After thirty years, the banquet began for a while, everyone was full of wine and food, and there was some blush on their faces. Although Xiao Concubine's wine is sweet, but the remaining strength is very sufficient, and many people are a little dizzy and confused.
At this time, I only heard the voice of Xiao Concubine: "Today is the birthday of the concubine, and the concubine also choreographed a song and dance to help the fun, this dance is unique to my Western Regions, and I hope you like it." ”
Having said that, most of the people in the audience have already drunk and are dizzy, and they all look a little fluttery. What to perform at this moment is actually in vain.
I saw Xiao Concubine smiling, patting her palms twice, and then the singers rushed in. The singers are all dressed in crimson tulle with pearls in between, revealing a seductive layer of skin. As the music played, he slowly twisted his slender waist.
Between the ups and downs of the music, there is a unique rhythm, with the music playing, the dancer sings lightly and dances the waist, everyone smells the music, they are all a little crazy, their eyes are blank, or they bow their heads and are silent, or they look up and smirk, all of them look intoxicated.
Kou Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, and then looked at the wine on the tray, and a hint of realization flashed in her eyes. In the art of the Western Regions, there is an illusion that is good at demagoguery, but one of the major characteristics of illusion is that he needs a thing as a "hallucination", which is sometimes incense, sometimes medicine. The purpose is to allow the illusionary to indulge in illusion for a longer period of time and more deeply.
It's just that Kou Shu kept an eye on it just now, and the wine sent was all pretended to be drunk, but in fact, not a drop entered the abdomen. And everyone had just tasted the wine, and a few people who were greedy for cups were obviously more serious, grinning, and saliva flowed out of their mouths.
Kou Shu looked at everything in front of her coldly, every pore on her body rose to a state of alertness, lowered her head, and carefully observed Xiao Concubine's actions with her residual vision.
Suddenly, Kou Shu felt a scrutinizing gaze.
Slightly shifting direction, he and Song Jinyan looked at each other, both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes, originally thought that they were the only sober people present, but they didn't expect that there was a second one.
The two exchanged a look very quickly, understanding that the other party was thinking the same as themselves - don't act rashly first, and wait until you find out what Concubine Xiao wants to do before making plans.
Light singing and dancing, the slender waist is not a hand, charming Baisheng, dancing with music, dancing and moving.
Concubine Xiao was still lying in Song Jinyan's arms, watching the dance on the stage intently, as if she was really interested. Suddenly, her body moved slightly, her fingers twisted slightly, and she made a gesture that was extremely concealed.
I saw that the dancers had originally flashed silver short knives from their originally thin and see-through clothes. The dancers were all holding a short knife in their hands, and they used extremely fast speed to go straight to Song Jinyan's front door. The speed was so fast, no one expected.
And everyone in the audience was already stupid, everyone opened their mouths slightly, their eyes were empty, their expressions were confused, and they turned a blind eye to everything that happened. Only lying in Song Jinyan's arms, Xiao Concubine, a trace of triumphant smile flashed in her eyes very quickly.
"Ding-" With a sound, the dancer's short sword was about to break when it was about to touch Song Jinyan. The other killers behind him followed one after another, but the strange thing was that the short swords were all inexplicably broken just when they were about to touch Song Jinyan. Song Jinyan squinted slightly drunkenly, and his stunned appearance was no different from that of others.
Concubine Xiao's eyes were horizontal, and her eyebrows were even tighter.
Hearing this, the girls at the head of the group used their internal strength, and several of them flipped the sword in their hands together, formed a sword formation, and rushed towards Song Jinyan again at a very fast speed. Song Jinyan's eyes trembled slightly, and his fingers moved lightly, as if he was signaling something.
It was only between the lightning and the flint that the guards around him reacted at this moment. Su Peiyuan shouted even more sharply: "Someone's coming—there are assassins!" Come to the rescue! Without waiting for those dancing girls to arrive, several guards flew forward and blocked between Song Jinyan and the dancing girls.
As soon as Su Peiyuan shouted, the talents at the banquet woke up like a big dream and woke up one by one.
When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she couldn't help but be horrified, and covered her chest tightly with her two hands.
And Song Jinyan slowly opened his eyes, as if he had only regained his clarity at this moment, and the concubine on the side saw this, and hurriedly leaned up and said, "Your Majesty, what happened just now scared the concubine to death." ”
Song Jinyan turned his head and looked at the concubine directly, the chill in his eyes was almost piercing, and he grabbed the wrist of the concubine who was lying on his body, and said with a smile: "Today is the birthday of the concubine, why did you give me such a big gift?" ”
A trace of fear crossed Concubine Xiao's eyes, and she said with a little emptiness: "What the emperor said, the concubines don't understand." ”
Song Jinyan smiled coldly, and swept everyone in the audience, all of whom had just woken up from a big dream and stared in a daze. Several delicate ladies were even drowsy. Only when Song Jinyan's eyes and Kou Shu looked at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they instantly realized that the other party had also seen through everything.
Su Peiyuan's scream had not yet fallen, and in the grass on the side, it was as if he had already prepared, and he didn't know where dozens of guards suddenly popped out. Although the dancers of the Western Regions were strong in martial arts, they had two fists and four hands, and after dozens of moves, they gradually lost their physical strength, and they were firmly controlled by the guards one by one.
Song Jinyan smiled imperceptibly, and then saw the concubine beside him, his eyes slowly became cold, and he pushed the concubine to the ground, and said sharply: "Come on—arrest this culprit who intends to murder me." ”
Everyone was horrified, what happened today was too unbelievable. Now the most favored concubine birthday banquet in the harem, everyone doesn't know why they are groggy, during which it seems that someone is trying to kill the king, and when they wake up, they see the cups and plates on the ground in a mess, and what is even more bizarre is that today's concubine Niangniang is actually the culprit.
The Queen Mother covered her chest even more, almost fainting in fright, and she looked so frightened. The whole banquet was a mess, and only two people watched quietly as if nothing had happened. Kou Shu is one, and Lan Ruoxuan is another.
Although Lan Ruoxuan didn't react in time as Kou Shu, after all, she had been under the Qingcheng Gate for many years, and she was keenly aware of something wrong the first moment the music sounded. It's just that she needs time now to take a good look at what this invincible concubine is.
Silent on the side, Lan Ruoxuan looked coldly at everything that happened in front of her, what her brother said was really right, there was indeed a cult force behind Concubine Xiao, but whether this force was friend or foe, she still needed to wait and see what happened, and when necessary, she had to consult with her brother. What tricks are being played behind this concubine will soon be revealed.
