Chapter 191 If Walking on Thin Ice 21
Zhao Zhang and Lou Huan have been familiar with each other since he was a child, but he did not seem to be unfamiliar. Hearing the words, he came forward and held Lou Huan's hand and laughed, "The Lou Xiang is really joking. If you want to drink, the wine warehouse in my mansion is always open for Lou Xiang."
Lou slowly smiled at the corners of his mouth and deliberately said, "Is this true?"
Zhao Zhang patted his chest and said, "You have no joke."
"Okay, it's a deal. At that time, don't hang up my building and don't leave."
The two looked at each other and both laughed. Tian Fuli also smiled and brought the building slowly into the seat.
Lou and Wang Xu said a few jokes, but looked at Zhao Xin beside him and couldn't help listening to the steps with surprise: "You are also here. If I had known you had come with you."
Zhao Xin smiled, and before he opened his mouth, Zhao Zhang had already replied first; "The Lou Xiang doesn't know anything. General Zhao and I are originally brothers of the same clan, but we don't walk much, so we have a little bit. I don't usually stay with my father. General Zhao has done a lot of duties as a son for me. He has made great contributions. For this point, I have to invite him to drink a glass of wine today.
Zhao Xin smiled and said modestly, "Your words are serious. I am the guard beside the master. These things that are not too much are really my duty. How can I say? Besides, the master takes good care of us subordinates, and we will naturally serve our lives with death.
"Exact" Lou couldn't help smiling and said, "What Zhao Xin said is very true. The master really cares about his subordinates. The so-called scholar dies as a confidant, and the master treats us like this. How can he not serve his life with death?
A group of people responded loudly, and they all said yes. It seems that they are all people who have been favored by the master and father.
Everyone sat down one after another, but Lou You and Wang Xu quarreled over the seat. They refused to sit in the first seat, but humbly compromised each other.
If the seat is arranged according to the position, Lou Xu is the right teacher, ranked as the top minister, and the person who has been the prime minister of Qin, the seat is naturally above Wang Xu. But in terms of seniority, Wang Xu had to pass the building much earlier. When he was the Marquis of Su, he had already entered the court as an official, and he could be regarded as a senior who went upstairs. Although the position of Sikong is lower than that of the right division, it is a real position rather than a scattered official, and its importance is naturally the same.
It's just that Lou Huan, the right teacher, is an unusual person, not an idle person, but the master's confidant. Wang Xu knew this, and naturally he did not dare to hold it big. No matter what, this first place refused to sit down, but only refused to succumb to the lower part of the building.
After a long time of refusal, Lou slowly couldn't push it off, so he sat down helplessly.
The guests are all seated, and the banquet has begun. Zhao Zhang sat down and looked at Tian Bure and winced. Tian Bure was understanding, so he reached out and patted it a few times. The song and dance in the hall sounded, and the maids who had been waiting behind the curtain for a long time brought out a plate of exquisite dishes, shuttled between the halls like butterflies among flowers.
The people in the hall are talking and laughing, and they are happy. After a while, Zhao Zhang slapped his palm on the seat, stood up and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, gentlemen."
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, Zhao Zhang picked up his glass with a smile and said, "Today is the day when I, Zhao Zhang, officially returned to Handan. It's really an honor for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust for me. I, Zhao Zhang, am a straightforward person. I don't know how to say anything, but I can lap my chest to assure you, but you will live up to me, Zhao Zhang, and I, Zhao Zhangjue, will not let you down.
"Please drink as much as you like. Don't be restrained. Come on, drink this glass of wine with me.
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, including Lou Huan, who stood up with a smile. They all drank all, and the atmosphere suddenly rose. Only Zhao Xin was a little reluctant. Seeing that the people around him stood up and raised their glasses one after another, he had to stand up.
Among these people, he is probably an alien, that is, he doesn't have much friendship with Zhao Zhang, and he doesn't support Zhao Zhang on behalf of his father like Lou Huan. In fact, if Zhao Xin had known that this banquet was the core gathering of Zhao Zhang's party, he would not have come here at all.
The atmosphere in the hall was in full heat for a while. Most of these doctors in the court were in high spirits one by one, and they toasted Zhao Zhang one after another and talked about their old feelings. For these old members of Zhao Zhang, with the deposed of Zhao Zhang's crown prince, their political future has basically come to an end, but now Zhao Zhang has returned to the court, which has to make them happy.
Zhao Xin sat on the wine table and was bored. He just drank the wine in the glass and listened to the musician's music. The beautiful maidservant who kept shuttled beside him was full when she saw that his cup was empty.
Although the wine is a good wine, it is mellow in the mouth and full of aftertaste; the dishes are also good dishes, each of which are carefully made with a lot of thought and effort. Even the maidservant who served the dishes and the utensils for wine and dishes were carefully selected. It can be seen that Zhao Zhang attaches great importance to this evening banquet. It's just that Zhao Xin is not in the mood to have fun at the banquet. This kind of banquet, which is linked to political interests, is better than drinking bad wine with three or five friends in the open air.
Zhao's confidence is clear that the reason why Zhao Zhang invited him to come is that, on the one hand, he wants to tie himself well to eliminate his heart knots; on the other hand, he only wants to show his strength and see if he can invite him to join. After all, Zhao Xin is the leader of Yulin beside his master father. Although his position is not high, he is very important.
Tian refused to toast and returned to his seat, but saw Zhao Xin sitting alone, so he sat aside and smiled, "Why, General Zhao doesn't like it?"
Zhao Xin forced a smile and said, "Tian Xiang laughed. Most of the people here are not familiar to me, but I'm not used to it."
Tian Beili turned his eyes and suddenly said, "I have an idea, and you will definitely be very interested."
Seeing that he looked mysterious and curious, Zhao Xin followed his words and asked, "What is it?"
Tian Buli smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, you will know soon."
The more Tian's courtesy was covered up like this, the more curious Zhao's confidence was. Fortunately, Tian's rudeness didn't hang his appetite for too long. After a while, Tian's rudeness stood up, clapped his hands and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhang restrained a little drunkenness and looked at him with a smile and said, "What's the matter with Tian Xiang? Just say it directly."
"I think there is wine and music without singing and dancing. After all, I can't have fun. Why don't you send people to sing and dance?"
"This..." Zhao Zhang looked embarrassed and had to say, "I didn't arrange singing and dancing in advance. Tian Xiang is embarrassed for me."
Tian Bure arched his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed. I've been prepared for a long time."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhang showed an interested look.
"What's your plan?"
"Miss Xu Yao, a proud disciple of Feng Fei, a dance master under the State of Qi, is now a guest in my house. Today, I know that you are going to a big banquet for guests, so you invite her to dance music to cheer up."
Everyone was very surprised when they heard it. You should know that although this Fengfei is a dancer, she is admired by the King of Qixuan because of her extraordinary dance skills. She is unexpectedly placed in the Jixia Academy and worshipped as a master of dance music, which is admired by people all over the world. The scholars and doctors of the State of Qi are also attracted to her, and they are all proud to invite her to dance music. Now that Fengfei is old and pale, she has long stopped dancing music. She just concentrates on teaching her disciples behind closed doors. Tian Bute can actually invite Feng Fei's proud disciples, which is really a great face.
Zhao Zhang said with a surprised face, "How can you invite this Miss Xu Yao from Linzi?"
Tian Bute smiled and said, "You forgot that Tian Bute was born in the Duke of Qi, and he still had some old feelings in the State of Qi. At that time, I had a very good relationship with Fengfei. This girl was worshipping her when she was young. I saw that she was smart and clever, so I casually accepted him as my goddaughter. Now that I grow up, I just want to go home to worship my ancestors, so I came to live in my house.
Zhao Zhang laughed and said, "It's a coincidence, but I don't know if your daughter is really as beautiful as Lingbo Fairy as rumored."
Lou Wan is also a lustful person. A little thought was also stirred up by Zhao Zhang's words, and then he smiled and said, "I heard that Fengfei's door is full of virgins like jade. Today, since Xu Yao came to our State of Zhao, we have to see our Zhao Dierlang's ability. If you can kiss Fangze and become a guest in the boudoir, it is a good story.
Lou's slow words fell, and everyone laughed. The so-called fair lady and gentleman are good. Everyone is a man. Naturally, they understand the meaning of Lou's words.
Tian Bare smiled and said, "Then please wait and see."
After gently clapping, several maids who had been ordered in advance came forward to blow out the lights, and the hall suddenly fell into darkness.
I heard the clear sound of the flute again. A girl in white held a long sword and slowly crept into the hall with the music. It turned out to be a sword dance.
The woman's figure was graceful, and the light sword in her hand was slowly waving, accompanied by the long sleeves that leaked like running water. She danced and wore a veil on her face, which made people yearn for it. The sound of the flute flute fluctuated, and the Buddha sobbed in a low voice to talk about the girl's missing feelings, but the person he missed was far away from the sky.
Although the face is veiled and can't be seen clearly, the eyes are like the stars in the night sky. The eyes are like smoke, and there is a breathtaking power in the flow, which makes people can't help but fall into it. Zhao Xin stared at the girl's star eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that there seemed to be a momentary stagnation when the girl looked at him.
Suddenly, the sound of the flute turned, the tune became fierce, and the girl's posture also rotated quickly, and the sword in her hand struggled forward, with a trend of no return. Although it is just a woman's sword dance, it makes the Buddha feel the awe-inness of the battlefield.
The cold sword light blooms brilliantly in the dark, pouring down like autumn water and the sky, turning into the boundless Milky Way in the sky, and as if it is about to fall into stars all over the sky, with the girl's dancing figure shining.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, and their eyes followed the floating posture of the girl's sparse shadow. They were afraid of missing a trace of wonderfulness. They opened their mouths, held their breath, and were worried that a sound would alarm the sword dance that seemed to be above the nine heavens.
The sound of the flute was loud in an instant, and the girl's body suddenly turned hugely, and the long sword was like a rainbow, stabbing Zhao Xin quickly.
The situation changed instantly, and everyone was still intoxicated with the sword dance. They did not react. When they were found, it was too late. Seeing that the blade of the sword stabbed Zhao Xin's face, it was as fast as lightning, but Zhao Xin still sat still, and the scene of blood splashing on the spot was almost inevitable.
The music also stopped abruptly at this time. The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone stared at the two people facing each other with wide eyes.
The tip of the sword stopped an inch in front of Zhao Xin's nose, and the girl's soft figure also solidified. Zhao Xin was still smiling. He was still holding the cup in his left hand and drinking slowly. His right hand, which was placed under the table and fastened his dagger, quietly let go.
The veil slowly fell down, revealing the girl's peerless face. The skin is better than snow, and the eyes are as clear as clear water, and there is no smile between the eyebrows, just looking at Zhao Xin's words.
