Chapter 20: The Birthday Feast

Shen Yining was a little apprehensive, let go of the dagger in his hand, reached out and stroked his face, groped around his lips, the fine beard at the corners of his lips was very handy, and there was a warm body temperature and a familiar breath from above, it was the real him. finally came to his senses, and whispered with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, you are here." ”

Li Yu raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her back like a child, and comforted her.

After a long while, Shen Yining slowly eased up, only to realize that the posture of the two was not very appropriate: "Wang, Wangye, I'm a little out of breath, you, you seem to be pressing me." ”

Li Yu smiled, gently propped herself up, and turned to lie flat on her side.

Shen Yining smiled awkwardly, and tightly grasped the somewhat worn sleeves hanging down from under his arms, although there was a faint smell of blood, but it was very reassuring.

"Lord Wang, how did you find us?"

Li Yu watched her firmly hold on to her sleeve and smiled dotingly: "When the guy from the Liu family's pawnshop saw the jade pendant in the hands of the Beidi people, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to follow the Beidi people to find you." This king wanted to brave the camp and snatch the three of you back. However, the spy reported that there were still many Han Chinese people in the camp, so General Chen and the king had a long-term plan to bring back the three of you and all the Han Chinese who had been captured. ”

"Lord Wang, now you have a plan?"

"Well, in three days it will be the birthday feast of Imu Khan. The defense in the camp was the most lax, and I will come to your rescue. ”

Shen Yining propped up one arm, lay on his side in his direction, pulled his sleeve, and said in a coquettish voice: "Lord Wang, the little girl still wants to ask you to save someone." ”

Li Yu turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows: "But the fourth princess of Imu Khan?" ”

Alas, I can't hide anything from him!

"Chun Niang is a good lady who values love and righteousness, and it was she who saved Xiaojing and Shen Yuan, as well as the Han lady who was captured in prison. The prince ......"

"Okay, I promise you. But for the rescue, you and I still need to cooperate......"

But in a quarter of an hour, Li Yu, who was dressed in night clothes, once again disappeared in the dark silence.

Shen Yining looked at the slightly sunken bed beside him, as well as the warmth that was within reach, and felt a little sad in his heart, just hoping to get rid of the bitter sea of the Beidi people as soon as possible and return home safely as soon as possible.

The night before the birthday feast of Imu Khan, Shen Yining once again prepared a medicinal bath for the four princesses.

Achina looked at her fiercely and asked vigilantly, "Why did you suddenly change the day of the medicinal bath?" What are your intentions? ”

Xu Yining smiled all over his face, and said flatteringly: "Sister Aqina, tomorrow night is our Khan's fortieth birthday feast, the Khan is in just the right mood, which princess do you think the Khan is most likely to find to sleep?" ”

Akina was silent, trying to pick a thorn in her words.

"Of course it will be our delicate fourth princess. After each medicinal bath of the four princesses, they can make the Khan love and stay nostalgic every night, if we can be happy tomorrow, won't we be more comfortable in the future? Sister, do you think that's the truth? ”

Unable to refute, Akina pouted and left the tent.

Inside the tent of the bathhouse.

Shen Yining took the wooden scoop in his hand, kept scooping up the soup and poured it on Chunniang's smooth and beautiful back. The two of them talked boringly.

"Yesterday Khan sent a lot of grapes, sweet and juicy, you can take some later......"

"Ah Yuan's child is too thin, I'll ask someone to send two more plates of mutton another day......"

"I hate him, but I have to please him, and only then can I live. Every time, I think of him as my childhood sweetheart's Saturday Lang, so that I can feel better......"

didn't hear the person behind her reply, Chun Niang was a little puzzled, and turned her head to look at her.

Shen Yining didn't stop the movements in his hand, attached to Chun Niang's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Chun Niang, do you want to leave here?" ”

Yuan Peichun was shocked: "A-Ning, what are you talking nonsense, don't ....."

Xu Yining lowered her head and whispered in Chunniang's ear.

Today is the third day that Cui Chengyu said, and it is also the 40th birthday of Imu Khan.

At sunset, guests fill the door.

The three princesses and princesses sat on the left and right sides of Imu Khan, along with the prince and princess. Yuan Peichun dressed up carefully as usual, and slowly sat down on the other side with Aqina. Imu Khan's army division Gidun and a number of high-ranking sergeants were seated at the bottom.

In the center of the big tent, four bright and moving orchids are dancing the Hu Xuan dance. Servants rushed in with plates of delicacies. In this desert, there are such delicacies as fish stew, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to transport them back from the south, which is really extravagant.

Everyone took turns to present a toast to Imu Khan, and there was laughter and laughter between the banquets, singing and dancing, and there was joy and peace.

Shen Yining and the three of them packed their bags early and waited anxiously in the small tent.

Halfway through the feast, the chief chef presented Imu Khan with rare wines and moonshine cups from the small countries of the Western Regions. The wine has been stored in the cellar for five years, and it was only taken out yesterday that it has a more intense and mellow aroma, which is a rare wine in the world.

At this time, Yuan Peichun walked to Imu Khan's side weakly, and said a few words in his ear coquettishly, causing Imu Khan to look up to the sky and laugh and be excited, and then retreated first and returned to the tent to rest.

Yuan Peichun returned to his tent and dismissed everyone on the grounds that he was unwell, and even Aqina didn't have to be around.

Achina was a little confused, but she obediently withdrew from the tent as ordered.

Yuan Peichun neatly took off the heavy hair ornaments and beads on his head, changed into a dress that was easy to move, took out the dagger hidden under the makeup box, put it in his arms, and pretended to be tired and lay on the bed.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a commotion outside the tent.

The movement outside was getting louder and louder, and Yuan Peichun sat up nervously.

Aqina rushed into the tent in a panic, trying to pull her out: "Princess, it's not good, the thief Zhou is here, come with me......"

Yuan Peichun shook off Aqina's hand vigorously: "Aqina, I'm not leaving, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Suddenly, there was a clang, and something fell to the ground, it was the dagger that Yuan Peichun hid in his sleeve.

Aqina was quick-eyed, picked up the dagger on the ground, and looked at her in disbelief: "Princess, you ......"

"Achina, I'm sorry, I can't go with you. I'm going back to my hometown. ”

Achina held the dagger in her hand tightly, and suddenly her face turned hideous, as if she had changed into a different person, and swung the sharp blade at her: "Princess, no, you, can't go......"

Yuan Peichun was forced to retreat again and again, accidentally knocked into the elevated wooden platform behind him, and fell to the ground at once.

"Achina, I beg you, I beg you, this may be my only chance."

Achina cried out heartbreakingly, "No, you can't go." I like you so much, I guard you and serve you wholeheartedly, you want to leave me alone, it must be Shen Yining's slut who bewitched you......"
