Chapter 6: A Song
"Pick the stars and the moon and go, and let go of the fairy hands...... Once the gold armor was lit, the knife tore the bull fight...... Hundreds of fighters return to their hometowns, and the red sleeves add fragrance to the night. Peach and plum Yanyan smiled in the spring breeze, and the purple smoke and fragrant clouds were ten thousand ......"
In the hall, three singers danced and sang.
Bend your waist and shake your sleeves, and bow down tactfully.
However, he sang "Sword Light Tearing Bull Fight", but he was wielding a long sword in his hand, which was a bit nondescript.
Fortunately, the people in the hall are basically coarse, and no one blames them. If you really let the delicate beauty wield a machete and slash around, the scene will be a little weirder.
The specifications of this banquet are quite high.
In the afternoon, although Liu Ruofei, the princess of Yunmeng's prison country, had not arrived, Ziguang Pavilion, who was in charge of foreign affairs, came to a deputy envoy doctor and arranged the banquet in the guest house.
This is to receive the soldiers of Li Guo as a mission.
No matter what kind of fight a country has, at least face and etiquette are still required.
Liu Guangdi, the deputy envoy of the Ziguang Pavilion, sat in the main seat in the center, and on the left hand side was a long case, which was Yang Qi, the captain of the Li Hou Guard's Battalion, and the five team members. On the right hand side is also a long case, which is Liu Yuan, the commander of Yunmeng Palace, Ma Biao, the deputy commander, the three envoys who originally sent Ji Guo, Lang Zhong of Ziguang Pavilion, and the manager of the State Guest House.
The five hundred Li troops who escorted the Yunmeng mission back were rewarded, and they were sent outside the city just after noon, which can be called a big deal. Each soldier has three taels of silver, the team is ten taels of silver, the school is twenty taels, and the captain is thirty taels of silver. In addition, there are 1,000 catties of fine wine, and there are countless kinds of cooked food.
Although it was not possible to let the army into the city, it was etiquette to invite the generals into the city to receive the wind.
So Yang Qi led the partial colonel and the team to unload their armor and blades and swaggered to the banquet. But with the troops outside, it was impossible for them to leave the camp for the night, and they had to leave before closing the city gates at three o'clock.
In general, hospitality between countries is based on the principle of reciprocity. You come in Langzhong, I receive in Langzhong, you come in Langzhong, I receive in Langzhong, you come in Langzhong, I in Langzhong, you come in Langzhong, I receive in Langzhong, you come in Langzhong, I receive in Langzhong. Yang Qi was a small lieutenant, and he actually worked with the commander of the Yunmeng Palace and the doctor of the Purple Light Pavilion to come forward, which was indeed of a high standard, but it was not over-specified.
In today's Li country, King Li stands aside, and Li Hou has the final say. Therefore, the captain of the Li Hou Guards Battalion is naturally one level higher, and he will definitely be an important general in the future.
On the other hand, Yunmeng, the country is too small, and it is about to be destroyed. Liu Guangdi and Liu Yuan don't look at a doctor, a commander, but they are hollow old men with high hats. Sensei said that Yang Qi said that when Li Houbing came to the city in three months, they would be reduced to lost dogs, and their status would not even be comparable to that of the five team members.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere of the banquet was not warm.
Yang Qi and the other seven people were sitting in a precarious position, their waists were straight, they were all young and sharp. Although three months later, they would definitely follow Li Hou to the west and destroy Yunmeng with a crushing force, but now they are not arrogant and domineering.
On the other hand, the seven people of Yunmeng shrank their hands and feet, their expressions were shriveled, and they pretended to be happy. Liu Yuan, the commander of the palace, and Ma Biao, the deputy commander, belong to the masters of the bronze tire realm, and naturally have a dignified majesty, but their eyes lack the vigorous spirit of the other party.
The scene is not salty or light, and it is a little embarrassing.
As the saying goes, after three years in the army, you have to turn around three times when you see an old sow. But when the seven people of Li Guo saw the beautiful women singing and dancing, their eyes were not obscene, and they did not spend flowers and begging for cheapness in their mouths. After the three of them got off the field, the school knocked on the table with his knuckles, looked around left and right, and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, I have heard for a long time that the clouds are dreaming of thousands of miles, Daze is as vast as the sea, and the characters are wonderful. Now the land is gone, and the characters are not exciting, only Daze is still there. ”
The five teams were laughing together, and when they saw Yang Qi's eyes sweeping over, they were immediately silenced.
Yunmeng's seven faces were full of anger, and they dared not speak angrily. That Ma Biao had a violent temper, snorted coldly, and slammed the silver cup on the table.
Liu Guangdi, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Why did the school say this?"
Seeing that the boss Yang Qi glared at him, he realized that it was a bit unkind to sarcastically mock Yun Meng for losing eight counties in a row, and he was not afraid of the demeanor of the country. It just so happened that Liu Guangdi asked, and quickly reorganized the rhetoric, avoided the truth and replied:
"The words are good, the music is good. The song is 'sword light tearing the bull fight', but the dance is a sword, so forget it. Hehe, but why can't these women even hit the beat? Could it be that Yunmeng bullied me and others who were born in the army, and they were shallow and didn't understand the rhyme, so they just made up a grass platform team to fool around?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
The five teams should have been helping to coax at this moment, but when they saw the boss Yang Qi lowering his head, he swallowed his furious words. The seven of Yunmeng are not easy to be silent, if this is really the case, it is indeed too rude, no wonder people lose their temper.
"Hehe, it's no wonder that the school is biased. This word was newly filled in a month and a half ago, and the dancers are not familiar with it...... Liu made poor arrangements and apologized to you...... Come, come, please fill this cup. ”
Liu Guangdi first raised his glass to greet Yang Qi, and then turned around and drank it all.
At this moment, he admired Liu Ruofei, the princess of the prison country, so much that he threw himself to the ground.
Yunmeng is in danger, the fifteen-year-old princess is in charge of the country, and no one has any hope for this. The reception of Li Guo should have been handled by the Ministry of Rites, but the eunuch in the palace went to Ziguang Pavilion to personally convey the public's intentions, and pulled him to the secret room to give instructions.
He didn't know what was going to happen today, but he knew it was going to happen.
The sword dance was designated by the eunuchs, and it was temporarily replaced with a new word. Although this song and dance was arranged after three rounds of drinking, the song and dance girl only had a moment to practice, and it was a miracle that she did not sing the wrong words. Ordinary people will not feel that the beat is wrong, but they didn't expect to be recognized by a partial school in the Li Hou camp, presumably from a family background.
The other party is unhappy, nothing, not a big problem.
Liu Guangdi received a strange order, that is, no matter what Yang Qi did, he would add fuel to the fire.
This sentence is easy to understand, but it is also very difficult to understand.
Of course, the purpose of the reception is to have the other party's enjoyment, so Yang Qi wants to drink, so he persuades him to drink. If Yang Qi had a whim and wanted to take a look at the magic circle of Yunmeng King City, how could he still add fuel to the fire?
The cold light flashing in the eunuch's eyes made Liu Guangdi stop asking. I knew in my heart that no matter whether Yunmeng was shattered or not, as long as he dared to leak the secret, the family would definitely be destroyed first.
Yang Qi is just a school captain and will not play a big role in the upcoming battle to destroy the country.
To Liu Guangdi's relief, the fifteen-year-old princess had only been in prison for a few days, and she unbelievably put her hand into the Li Hou personal guard camp. This gave him a glimmer of starlight in the endless darkness, and gave birth to a slim hope.
Several of the people serving today are from the palace, and he has arranged for the guest house to look at the other party's horse.
Three minutes ago, Yang Qi and his group of seven people were about to leave the city.
So, what exactly happens at a banquet?
Liu Guangdi is looking forward to it.
Seeing that everyone was raising their glasses and draining them, he commanded, "Pour the wine." ”
The eunuch instructed that two words must be spoken after this song and dance. One is "This word was newly filled in a month and a half ago", and the other is "pour wine".
In fact, there are wine jugs at each table, and guests can pour their own. After three rounds of wine, many flasks bottomed out, and the host instructed that the wine should be poured as a courtesy, and at the same time a new flask should be replaced.
Fifteen delicate maids stepped out and filled the glasses for everyone, and then replaced the flasks.
Liu Yuan, the leader of Yunmeng Palace, is a son of the royal family, the second master of the Bronze Fetal Realm, seeing that the scene is cold and dull, and the other party is full of martial artists, he snorted and deliberately introduced the topic to the martial arts.
Partial to the school's knowledge, he hurriedly competed in spear skills and knife skills, and the banquet showed a bit of exaggerated liveliness.
The most important guest, Yang Qi, frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
In the sound of pouring wine, the maid came out with a few words very lightly and quickly: "The immortal master has an order, leave the table." ”
Yang Qi was taken aback, but saw that the maid had poured the wine as if nothing had happened, replaced the wine jug, and left with a slight smile.
Liu Guangdi sat in the main seat, with a panoramic view of the situation off the field, and kept secretly observing Yang Qi. Seeing that he was stunned and looked at the graceful back of the wine maid, for fear that others would notice, he smiled and said:
"Hundreds of fighters return to their hometowns, red sleeves add fragrance to the night, and sing well. As for the peach and plum Yanyan smiling in the spring breeze, the purple smoke and fragrant clouds are ten thousand, only a young handsome man like Captain Yang can bear it, and I'm afraid my old bones can't bear it. ”
He didn't hear the maid speak, and muttered in his heart, "Am I adding fuel to the fire?" If Yang Qi falls in love with that woman, wouldn't my dignified doctor become a pimp?
Yang Qi was stunned, got up and clasped his fists, and said: "The saddle horse is tired all the way, and a change of clothes will come soon, and then drink with you." ”
After saying nothing, he followed the woman.
Immediately, a waiter stepped forward to guide him.
Most people thought that his stomach was not refreshing, and he wanted to be convenient, and shouted "go and come quickly".
Liu Guangdi remained silent and beckoned to drink.
Liu Yuan smiled slightly and continued to discuss martial arts with everyone.
Ma Biao's face was gloomy, and he said in his heart that this was Yunmeng's Welcome State Pavilion, not the Qinglou Tavern. If Yang Qi goes crazy with alcohol and makes something unclever, no matter what kind of guard he is, he will definitely be captured and beaten. Look at the way he has just stepped into the copper fetus realm, and he can't hold three moves under his hands.
