Chapter 12 Fire
Melodious music is heavy, and thinly dressed bearded girls are dancing a hot dance.
This may be the customs and customs of the barbarian country, in the eyes of the people from the Central Plains of the Kowloon Mansion, such a dance is too bold and explicit to be appreciated.
Xuan Xi, Tang Fengling and Ling Miaoyin felt even more unacceptable when they watched those Hu girls scratching their heads in front of the men around them.
However, this is only for them from the Central Plains.
As a native of the barbarian country, they obviously don't feel much about it, they seem to have become accustomed to it, and even enjoy it a little.
On the high platform in the middle of the main hall, Jieli sitting on the throne is obviously such a person. I saw him looking at the dancing bearded girls below the main hall, and one or two wisps of essence flashed in his eyes from time to time.
If you go to the head of the excitement, Jieli wants to use wine to help the fun, and it looks very enjoyable.
At the end of the song, the dancers left the stage one after another.
"Good, good jump. Jieli cheered loudly, causing the surrounding ministers to also cater to the peace, and at the same time toast to drink with His Majesty the Khan, the scene was extremely lively for a while.
Chen Yutian also symbolically toasted Jieli with a glass of wine.
After drinking, Jieli pointed to the dancers who had retreated to the side, and asked Chen Yutian, "What does your envoy think of this dance?"
Chen Yutian's expression condensed slightly.
He knew very well in his heart that Jieli's question was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. This question seems to be asking yourself about the quality of dancing, but if you really just answer this question shallowly, I am afraid that you will lose directly.
After thinking about it, Chen Yutian smiled and spoke, "Your Majesty Khan, you are not good at music and dance, so you can only judge from what you have seen and heard. ”
"According to the observation below, this dance should be excellent, otherwise His Majesty, as the lord of the barbarian country, would not have applauded many times. It's just that I come from the Central Plains, and the customs are different from your country, so I can't appreciate the beauty of this dance, which is really a pity. ”
When Jieli heard this, his eyes flashed with a touch of profound fluctuations. The next moment, he suddenly burst out laughing, "What your envoy said is very true. This dance is the most widely spread dance in our country, but as you said, because of the difference between the customs and customs of the Central Plains and our country, you can think of it, and your envoy will not be able to appreciate it. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." ”
Jieli waved his hand lightly and spoke, "However, since your envoy is not used to seeing the dance of our barbarian country, let's enjoy the dance of the Central Plains together." ”
Chen Yutian was slightly curious in his heart. Could it be that in this barbarian king's palace, there are still people who can dance the dance of the Central Plains?
After all, the Western Regions, where the barbarian country is located, are far away from the land of the Central Plains, and even if you really learn the dance of the Central Plains, you should learn it from the marginal areas of the Central Plains.
However, due to the geographical location of these regions, the customs and customs have long been integrated, and the dances that have been handed down are not authentic Central Plains dances.
I wonder what kind of dancer this dancer in the Barbarian King's Palace is learning?
With curiosity, Chen Yutian and everyone continued to look down, and saw Jieli Khan clapping his hands slightly, and a woman walked into the main hall.
She was dressed in the costume of the Central Plains region with a white veil that covered her face. However, it can be inferred from her delicate figure that this woman's appearance is not bad.
Seeing a woman wearing a Central Plains costume in this barbarian country immediately aroused the interest of all the people in the Kowloon Mansion, and the next moment, the music suddenly started, and the woman danced with it, and her posture was graceful and intoxicating.
She is like an immortal above the nine heavens descending to the earth, dancing, giving people a wonderful feeling of beauty and dust.
This woman's dance is an authentic Central Plains dance, and it is also a dance music spread in the Xuandu court, not only the people of the Kowloon Mansion are immersed in it, but even the surrounding barbarian ministers are also fascinated.
At the end of the song, the hall resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
The woman bowed slightly, thinking that Jieli had performed a barbarian etiquette, Jieli smiled slightly and spoke, "Your envoy, how is this dance?"
Chen Yutian nodded, "It's excellent." I didn't expect His Majesty to have such a figure by his side, which is really an eye-opener. ”
Jieli smiled: "There is something more unexpected than you can imagine...... In fact, this dancer is the seventh princess of my barbarian country, Lang Yun. ”
The moment he finished speaking, the woman gently removed the veil from her face, revealing her true face.
This is a beautiful face, not only part of the appearance of a woman in the Central Plains, but also some of the characteristics of a barbarian woman, they are perfectly gathered on one face, not only does not appear abrupt, but makes Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, add a heart-warming beauty.
The moment Chen Yutian saw the Seventh Princess, his body shook suddenly!
Because, the appearance of the seven princesses is clearly at the gate of the Barbarian King's Palace, the woman who greeted with Yuan Lin, and her eyes were always on herself.
"It turns out that she is actually the Seventh Princess......" Chen Yutian said secretly in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the main hall, and someone could faintly hear someone shouting "It's on fire, put out the fire" and something like that.
In the meantime, there seems to be the whirring and popping sound of flames burning.
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion suddenly frowned slightly.
Outside the main hall, a barbarian guard suddenly walked in, and I saw him eagerly open to Jieli, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the cold palace is on fire......"
Jie Li suddenly stood up from his seat.
......
......
The cold palace is located in the north of the harem, adjacent to the sleeping palace of the eighth princess Lang Ling.
At this time, three hours have passed since Lang Yue left the cold palace, and the palace that was intact three hours ago is already a sea of fire at this moment.
The fire was blazing, mixed with the sound of wooden beams bursting and collapsing, and the sky was reflected in the fiery red.
Countless guards, chamberlains, and palace maids around were all running around in a panic with basins and buckets to put out the fire, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Long Zun and Sword Saint, who stayed in the inner garden of the harem, looked at the red sky from a distance and nodded slightly, "This fire is really big enough. ”
The Sword Saint nodded and said strangely, "Aren't you going over to help?"
Long Zun smiled and asked, "Then why don't you go?"
The Sword Master looked at the red sky in the distance and slowly spoke, "I don't like barbarians very much, so I don't want to make a move." ”
Long Zun smiled, "Me too. After all, I come from the temple, and my hatred for the barbarian country may be greater than yours. ”
The Sword Saint also smiled, she thought for a moment, and then spoke, "But if you don't put out the fire, I'm afraid that the corpse inside will be burned beyond recognition, so it will undoubtedly be more difficult for your apprentice to find out the truth." ”
"What's this, if such a problem can stump him, then he is not worthy of being the son of Chen Gong. Besides......"
At this point, Long Zun suddenly stopped talking, but looked at the half of the night sky and fell into deep thought.
When Chen Yutian and Jieli came to the cold palace, the fire at the scene had been controlled, and although the guards guarding the palace were injured, fortunately they were not in serious trouble.
The black-robed national teacher who arrived with Jieli and the source in charge of the Taigong gathered a few uninjured guards to inquire about the cause and effect.
"It's Concubine Lingniang, she somehow broke out of the cold palace, injured several of our brothers, and then burned down the cold palace and escaped. The palace guards said.
"What?" Jieli was shocked when he heard this, and groaned slightly, "Concubine Ling actually did such a thing?"
The black-robed national teacher took the opportunity to speak, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling must have known that the Nine Dragons Mansion was coming, and she was afraid that her crimes would be exposed by them, so she burned down the cold palace and absconded in fear of crime. I also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, issue a wanted warrant, and arrest the criminal concubine. ”
Jieli didn't respond, just squinted his eyes slightly and quietly looked at the pair of burnt ruins.
Chen Yutian looked at the black-robed national teacher, although what this person said, although everything was reasonable speculation, but after revealing that he used a scam to become a national teacher, he naturally kept an extra eye.
And from this foundation, looking at the words of the national teacher, Chen Yutian felt a blatant malice.
That's right, it's malicious.
Although the national teacher's words seem to be praising the Kowloon Mansion, after in-depth analysis, it will be immediately found that his remarks are simply a kind of malice.
Although he insisted on the guilt of Concubine Ling, the implication was that the fire in the cold palace and the escape of Concubine Lingfei were blamed on the arrival of Jiulong Mansion. To put it more bluntly, it is because you Jiulong Mansion is here, Concubine Ling was afraid that her crimes would be exposed, so she burned down the cold palace and absconded in fear of crime.
Although this is a bit of malicious speculation, it can't stop some people, and they do think so, especially those who are more suspicious and cautious.
Thinking about this, Chen Yutian came directly to the ruins of the burned cold palace.
He wanted to see if this fire was really as those guards said, whether it was set on fire by the spirit concubine, or whether someone deliberately did it.
