Chapter 10: The Phantom in the Dance

When the time came, the sun had set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun stained the clouds on the horizon red.

In the main hall of the Qin Palace, many powerful people in Yangzhai City had gathered at this time, chatting with each other.

And the topic between them is of course indispensable to Wei Yun, who arrived in Yangzhai City today, many of them have opinions on Wei Yun's actions, and secretly ridicule him for pretending to be high, or the villain is ambitious, and naturally the existence of lemon essence is indispensable.

"The prime minister doesn't seem to be in good spirits, what's the trouble?"

The person who asked the question looked almost the same age as Chen Lei, he was also dressed in black wide clothes, with a long beard under his chin, if it weren't for the fact that his expression had always been very serious, he had a bit of a fairy wind and bones.

Chen Lei turned his head slightly and glanced at Wei Ji, and his words were cold: "Wei Fu is wrong, the old man is in good spirits, what can he worry about?"

Chen Lei had some doubts in his heart, although this Wei Ji has never been very kind to him, but he has never deliberately targeted him, and it is really strange that he will be sarcastic as soon as he opens his mouth today.

Wei Ji was not annoyed when he heard this, and his tone still did not fluctuate: "If there is nothing on his mind, then how can Chen Xiang be restless? Could it be that he has done something wrong? Even the kung fu of nourishing qi has been lost, and your heart is disturbed." ”

Chen Lei was slightly stunned, he turned his head in surprise and stared straight at Wei Ji, not knowing whether this national master was sarcastic or reminding him.

The Daewoo Empire has rules: the prince is crowned king, his county is the country, and one person is placed in Fu, and the king is guided to be kind, courteous as a teacher, and not a minister.

In other words, the King of Qin had to salute Wei Ji, not Wei Ji as a courtier of the King of Qin, which shows that Wei Ji's status in the Qin State is high, nominally enough to be on a par with Chen Lei.

It stands to reason that Wei Ji, as the teacher of King Qin, should be closer to King Qin.

But since King Yingxiu of Qin arrived in Qin and Wei Ji was his concubine, the relationship between the two has been very cold, even inferior to ordinary teachers and students, just like King Qin was assassinated and injured before, he did not show up, let alone visit.

But in any case, there is no contradiction between Wei Ji and King Qin, at least on the surface.

Moreover, Wei Ji only did his own thing before, and never participated in the power struggle within the Qin State, and was alone.

Chen Lei was a little unpredictable about Wei Ji's thoughts, but he still saluted Wei Ji and thanked: "Thank you Wei Fu for reminding me, the old man is indeed a little out of shape." ”

It's just that Chen Lei's actions didn't get any response, Wei Ji closed his eyes and sat on his knees in a straight posture.

Seeing that Wei Ji didn't care about himself again, Chen Lei reluctantly withdrew his gaze and sat down in his place, looking ahead with a faint look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Lei and Wei Ji's status is extremely high, and after they put on a posture of not wanting to be disturbed, everyone else deliberately stayed away, and not many people paid attention to them, so the brief conversation between the two just now was not noticed by too many people.

Guo Qu, who is opposite the two, seems to be talking to others, but in fact, he is always paying attention to Chen Lei's movements, taking in the conversations between the two, and the same doubts as Chen Lei have arisen in his heart, whether Wei Ji is just mocking Chen Lei, or reminding him to correct his mentality.

The former, of course, is good news, the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, but in the case of the same interests, it is equivalent to one more ally.

If it was the latter, he would have to be vigilant so as not to be secretly stabbed by Wei Ji.

In addition to Guo Qu, a guard standing not far behind Chen Lei and Wei Ji also heard this conversation, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be planning something.

It didn't take long for Jiang Ji to walk into the main hall, and then sit in the first place.

"I've seen the king. ”

"Everyone, please hurry up, today is just an ordinary dinner, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Jiang Ji raised his hand slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and then continued: "Thank you for your contributions to the Qin State, I salute you all, please!"

"Your Majesty, please. ”

Jiang Ji picked up the bronze jue on the table, held the jue in both hands, drank it all, and then showed the empty bronze jue to the others.

Others drank it all the same.

Jiang Ji put down the bronze jue and said with a smile: "Don't talk about business tonight, everyone has fun and plays music!"

With the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra, coupled with a jue of wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and soon there were elegant people who got up and came to the center of the hall and began to dance, with big sleeves fluttering, long hair flying, dancing and singing:

"Drunk with wine, full with virtue. ”

"Ten thousand years for a gentleman, Jieer Jingfu. ”

"Drunk with wine, food and food. ”

"Ten thousand years for a gentleman, Jieer Zhaoming......"

The singing and dancing are in harmony with the sound of silk and bamboo.

The man danced in front of Guo Qu's seat, his arms outstretched, his sleeves flung up, his body leaned, and he retreated.

Guo Qu got up in response, raised his sleeves and crossed his waist, and danced forward.

Suddenly, someone coaxed and shouted: "Spin, spin, spin!"

Some people took the lead, and others shouted, "Spin, spin, spin!"

Even though Guo Qu is a martial artist, dancing is not difficult for him, he does not twist at all, he spins when he says, waives his sleeves and feet, and dances in the center of the main hall.

Soon after, he danced in front of Chen Lei's seat, threw his sleeves and leaned back, with a smile in his eyes.

Generally on this occasion, because of identity, even if Jiang Ji said that it was just an ordinary banquet, most people would not choose people such as Chen Lei and others even if they were dancing.

It was only when the man was bold at the beginning, or he was drunk, that he chose Guo Qu, and now Guo Qu has chosen Chen Lei, the opponent.

After the previous person has danced, invite the next person to dance, if the next person refuses to respond, or is unwilling to spin when dancing, it is rude.

Other people who are still more sober feel very presumptuous, and at the same time, they are looking forward to Chen Xiang dancing in their hearts, after all, it is very difficult for people like Chen Lei to be old and have a high official position.

Even Jiang Ji looked at Chen Lei with interest, not because he liked to watch the old man dance, but to see if he would refuse for the sake of face, or just like Guo Qu's intentions.

Perhaps because of Wei Ji's previous reminder, Chen Lei looked at Guo Qu's slightly smiling face, but there was no resistance in his heart, and he stood up with a smile, intending to satisfy Guo Qu's bad taste.

Guo Qu retreated to the seat, and Chen Lei got up and threw his sleeves, and his decrepit body moved with a spirit that did not match his age.

And just when everyone's eyes were attracted by Chen Lei, the corner of the guard's mouth not far behind Chen Lei was slightly hooked, and his right hand quietly rested on the hilt of the sword, and then pulled the sword out of the sheath.

With the help of the cover of noisy sounds, it appeared in front of Jiang Ji like a phantom, and a sword qi that was not fierce but full of deadly killing power spewed out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
