Chapter 37: The Banquet Interlude
Under the lethal eyes of the two old adults, Master Shi stubbornly said: "Don't hide it from the two adults, the lower officials have also inquired about the identity of Prince Helian, and even cheekily went to Lord Zhen's mansion to mention his relatives......
"You're actually going to propose?" said Master Zhang, blowing his beard.
"You dare to go behind our backs!" said Master Li with arched eyebrows.
When the two elders saw it, they were about to grab Master Shi's neck.
Master Shi hurriedly defended himself: "Don't worry, don't worry, I just want to say that Lord Zhen and Lord Kuizhou Taishou Helian don't want the two sons to get married at this time, after all, they are new to officialdom and need to be trained." The two adults rejected all the proposers, and none of them agreed. ”
"Oh?" said Master Zhang, his eyes widened, "such a good opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it?"
Master Li sighed: "Tut, now, the ministers of the court will pay more attention to these two sons, and they will fight for them." Scholar Zhen is so calculating, does he want his son to match the princess, the county lord or the county lord?"
Master Shi's voice was lowered, and he said, "It's not a university scholar, and people don't want to climb high." As you know, they have the fame of the previous dynasty, and now they are holding important positions in the new dynasty, so they should be cautious. The former Lord Shohime of the Ministry of Rites, isn't it a lesson from the past?"
Hearing what Master Shi said, the two bosses didn't argue anymore, and their faces returned to their previous solemn and respectful nature. Master Shi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch the ceremony.
The poems of the new science and technology scholars are being recited. Their order is about from the back to the front, although no one deliberately stipulates this order, but it is conventional, after all, good things and excellent people will naturally be left to the final finale.
Seeing that several Jinshi of the second class had finished chanting, more than half of the banquet was over. Zhou Meiyu was sleepy when he heard these things about the world and the world, and his two eyelids were almost unable to hold on.
"Stop!" "Don't run!" "Get down!"
"Childe-"
A noisy sound came from the direction of the observation deck, and Zhou Meiyu woke up smartly.
There was some confusion on the observation deck, there were men's scolding, women's pleading, and the dissuasion of the disgusting eunuchs, and many voices were mixed together, with only one purpose, to make the person who had run to the top of the observation deck put down the knife in his hand and obediently went back with them.
The man who was forced to the edge of the observation deck was very thin and not tall, and he was shorter than Zhou Meiyu by sight. His hair was a little messy, and he was wearing an old and powerful long gown, which was reflected by the light, but he couldn't see the color clearly. A belt is wide and piercing, and it doesn't match the body like chopsticks. Like a frightened fawn, his body trembled, and he looked warily at the people around him.
He held a knife in his right hand that he had found out of nowhere, and he held it around his neck, and his right hand fluttered tremblingly in front of him, refusing to come near anyone, but saying nothing.
"Put the knife down!" said the guard.
"Don't go any further!" said the eunuch pleadingly.
"Childe, please, come back!" said a girl, crying.
There are also many people around, often helping out.
It is impossible for such a noisy sound not to attract the attention of the people on this side of the banquet, and people are thinking, who the hell is this, dare to be so presumptuous, make such a big disturbance in the palace, and are not afraid of raiding the family and exterminating the clan?
Zhou Meiyu rubbed his eyes and stood up.
Bai Leshan stopped Zhou Meiyu and whispered: "General, this is the palace, Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, let's not act rashly, so as not to get into trouble." ”
Zhou Meiyu glanced at the emperor and the crown prince sitting above, their faces were not good-looking, but they were all dumb and did not give any orders. I don't know when the three princes appeared, but they stood crookedly, as if enjoying a wonderful drama. The ministers of the old and virtuous people stared wide-eyed, and the new scholars also looked up at a loss, and did not dare to say a word.
On the observation deck, the girl who was crying sadly loudly dissuaded, saying: "Childe, you have survived all the hard days, why can't you think about it now? If you die, what will you do with me and my grandfather? Childe, please, even if you have pity on me, don't die......"
The crying made people's hearts break, but the man with the knife didn't say a word.
The girl sobbed for a moment, and then said, "I know that you are dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor moved into the temple, but after all, it is Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty ......"
Who knew that these two sentences annoyed the man, who danced wildly with his left hand, as if he did not want the girl to continue.
Such a large movement, every blow touched the hearts of the people on and off the observation deck, so the girl didn't dare to say any more, only covered her face and cried.
Li Jiangnan hugged his arms and sighed: "Tsk, although I can't see that face, but listening to the voice, I know that this is a stunning beauty." Hey, it's really a sin to let such a beautiful pear blossom plead with herself with rain. If it were me, I wouldn't want to die!"
Listening to the voice to judge the appearance, I am afraid that only the big pervert Li Jiangnan can construct the logical thinking, not only Zhou Meiyu expressed his contempt with a "cut", but other officials of all sizes also looked sideways.
Li Jiangnan didn't seem to appreciate everyone's disdain, and said: "Look at this person's dress and figure, how can he appear in the palace?
"Haven't you seen it?" asked Zhou Meiyu. After all, Li Jiangnan once served in the DPRK and China, and most people still know him.
But Li Jiangnan shook his head.
didn't get an answer, Zhou Meiyu didn't feel anything, she slowly walked to the observation deck under the gaze of everyone.
"General!" Bai Leshan reminded loudly.
Zhou Meiyu threw away Bai Leshan's hand blocking the way and said, "Even if it's for that little girl, let's save him." ”
Bai Leshan glanced back at Li Jiangnan, but received a successful look from Li Jiangnan.
The man on the observation deck seemed to be crying, his whole body shaking so badly that his shriveled wrist could barely hold the knife. But he still held it tightly and slashed it down at his neck.
Everyone exclaimed, and Song Xu jumped up from his chair.
A flying knife was hidden in the night, like a pair of eyes of a wolf glowing with a ghostly light, and like a lightning bolt that split through the darkness, it flew straight towards the right hand holding the knife, impartial, and hit it squarely. It was a flying knife issued by Li Jiangnan, who had always been proud of his accuracy.
Li Jiangnan's flying knife is full of strength, if it is not too far away and the observation deck is too high, this flying knife will definitely penetrate the palm of that person's hand, Rao is so, the knife is also honestly nailed to the back of his hand, and blood is flowing. The man was in pain and threw the knife on the ground.
The people gathered around the observation deck thought that they had a chance, and wanted to rush up to save the man, but who knew that the man had the belief that he would die, and he really jumped from it!
The shouts of the people present were even louder.
