At this time, it was not yet Youzheng, the sky was dark, and the county guard was already busy in the mansion.

Servants and maids who came and went, carrying trays of fish, poured in and put the wine and delicacies on the table. There are also beautiful maidservants, shuttling among the guests, holding wine jugs and pouring wine.

The host of the banquet was naturally located in the center, and the rest of the officials were seated on either side, facing each other on the left and right.

Liu Yuan, the county guard, raised the wine cup in his hand and said with a loud smile: "Recently, it is the spring planting season, and there are many large and small affairs in the county, and you have worked hard. Come, I give you a glass. ”

"The county guard is serious." Everyone in the seat also raised the wine glass in front of them, and drank the wine in the cup with Liu Yuan's movements.

When the wine is entered, it is only mellow and fragrant.

"Good wine!" A little official's heart suddenly stretched and couldn't help but praise.

When this glass of wine is gone, the banquet officially begins.

The musicians who were waiting outside the hall early held all kinds of musical instruments, stepped into the hall, plucked the strings and flicked the flute in their hands, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and the hall suddenly became lively.

It is a dinner party, and the banquet does not talk about official business, but only drinks and has fun.

There was a fun-loving official, and he proposed to make a drinking order.

Liu Yuan smiled: "It has been prepared for a long time." ”

With that, he turned his head and ordered his servants beside him to fetch the chips that he used to give orders.

This order is also a common way for scribes to order wine, and it is a simple and easy way for literati to combine dice orders and literary allusions.

The chips are engraved with various orders and wine contracts, which are placed in the chips. When giving orders, you only need to shake the chips in order, and then drink according to the orders and liquor orders specified in the order.

If the state ends with a song, the tooth chip will make the red snail bowl.

After several rounds of drinking orders, everyone present was already slightly drunk.

Liu Yuan laughed and waved his hand: "Today, you must be happy to return, come, I will toast you again." ”

With that, he raised his head and drank it all.

"The county guard is heroic!" During the banquet, everyone couldn't help but praise.

Liu Yuan laughed loudly, raised his hand and poured two full glasses of wine, got up and walked in front of Sun Juncheng.

"Jiuxi, you and I have worked together for a long time, and for more than a year, I would like to thank you for your hard work. Come, I'll toast you! ”

He handed the wine cup in his left hand to Sun Juncheng, the wine gently shook in the cup and made a microwave, and the bright candle flame in the hall was reflected in the lamp, and the wine wave was half bright and half dark.

Sun Juncheng paused slightly, and looked up at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan smiled, and handed the wine cup in his hand to Sun Juncheng: "What?" Jiuxi doesn't want to drink this wine? ”

"How?" Sun Juncheng's face was slightly unnatural, and he took the wine cup and saluted Liu Yuan, "Thank you also for taking care of your subordinates." ”

With that, he threw up his head and drank the wine from his glass.

"Happy!"

Liu Yuan watched him turn the empty cup upside down, signaled that he had finished drinking, and raised his glass to follow.

He stretched out his hand and patted Sun Juncheng's shoulder, and then returned to the main seat.

After three rounds of wine, the people in the hall are drunk, Liu Yuan high-fived, there are dancing girls rushing in, the sound of silk and bamboo rises again, and the dancers wearing silk silks dance in a curl.

The slightly drunk crowd couldn't help but lean on the table, squinting and enjoying the song and dance.

Accompanied by the music, the dancers' waists swayed slightly, and their slender snow-white arms drew a graceful arc in the air.

Suddenly, the water sleeves will be thrown away, the light yarn is waved, the skirt is rotated, and the dancers are like enchanting butterflies, fluttering in the hall.

The dance clothes are dyed by the aroma, and wherever the lotus step goes, I suddenly feel that the dark fragrance floats, and it is mixed with the fragrance of wine, which is more and more confusing.

In front of you is a beautiful flower, dancing gracefully, and in your ears is the sound of silk bamboo, thousands of turns.

The crowd grew more and more intoxicated.

At the end of the song, the dancer and the musician withdrew, and everyone reacted and applauded.

Between pushing the glasses, there are a few glasses of wine.

Liu Yuan clapped his hands again, and a musician covered in a light veil and holding a pipa in his arms walked into the hall.

She bowed slightly to everyone in the hall, and then sat aside, and a momentum rose up, like a drop of water falling into people's hearts.

The guests who were drinking, the servants standing behind them, and the maidservants who were pouring wine in jugs, fell silent for a moment.

The musician bows his head slightly, gently and slowly twists the room, and the sound of the pipa is sometimes lively and brisk, such as the spring dawn of the flower dock, the birds are singing, and sometimes it is suddenly relaxed, such as the moon travels to the clouds, and the water floods the Pingchuan.

I don't know when, the sound of the song gradually soothed and softened, like a cold spring in the mountain stream, passing through the green algae, flowing on the crystal gravel, and like the moon in the clouds, the wind among the pines.

Everything was quiet.

In the main hall, everyone closed their eyes at some point, as if they were intoxicated in the breeze and moonlight.

The sound of the pipa, the lingering sound......

Suddenly, the sword flashed—

Holding the pipa in his arms and holding the sword in his right hand, Na Leki flew up and stabbed at Sun Juncheng, who was under Liu Yuan.

The tip of the nose is a faintly floating fragrance, and the sound of pipa in my ears has not yet dissipated.

Sun Juncheng was like everyone else, his eyes were slightly closed, immersed in the wonderful night created by the music, and he didn't know anything about the murder in front of him.

"Poof!"

The sharp sword slammed into his heart, and then he drew his sword, and the bright color of blood spurted out, drawing a brilliant mark in the air.

Sun Juncheng opened his eyes suddenly, his wide eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked down at the huge hole in his heart.

He was wearing a light-colored brocade robe today, and blood gushed out quickly, and soon stained most of his chest red.

He slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to use his hand to plug the hole in his heart, but he only covered his chest with nothingness, and the whole person jerked violently, and fell diagonally on the table, and there was no more sound.

The hall was silent, everyone's eyes were slightly closed, and their faces were confused.

The blood that rose from the sword splashed on the garments and faces of those who were seated, but they did not notice it.

They are immersed only in soft, soft, moonlit dreams.

The horrific bloodshed in front of them can't enter their dreams.

Immediately afterwards, the musician handed the sword to his left hand, which was holding the pipa with a bent arm, and the five fingers of his right hand were slightly bent, and he pulled on the pipa, and the strings broke in response.

"Zheng!"

A shrill sound suddenly resounded in the main hall.

The confused crowd was like being splashed on the head by a basin of cold water, and they woke up from a big dream.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw sharp strings shooting towards them.

Everyone was startled, hurriedly dodged, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the one who couldn't dodge the ground was just pierced by the strings of the big arm.

There was a cry of exclamation in the hall.

Leki's feet swirled slightly, and he stabbed at Liu Yuan on the main seat with his sword, Liu Yuan hurriedly avoided it, and the sharp sword slashed down on his left shoulder, raising a burst of blood.

Na Leki missed a blow and was about to attack again, but was separated by the servants behind Liu Yuan.

"There are assassins!"

"Someone! There are assassins! ”

The crowd shouted, and the guards outside the temple quickly rushed in, swords drawn towards the rakuki.

There was chaos in the hall, and when the musician saw that there was no hope, he no longer dwelled on it, and rushed out of the crowd with his sword, and rushed out of the hall.

When everyone saw her rushing out, they couldn't help but exhale and hurriedly walked out from behind the pillar where they were hiding.

"Oops!"

Someone was in a panic and tripped over a foot, and he touched it with his backhand, and he touched a slippery hand.

When he looked back, he saw Sun Juncheng who was leaning down next to the table, most of his body was already red with blood, and the huge hole in his chest was as if he wanted to run out of blood.

The servant next to him was crouching down and weeping, and the servant girl who had been standing there pouring wine had already lost the wine cup in her hand and stood aside in horror.

There was a shock in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shout: "Juncheng-"

Jun Cheng was killed!
