From the first day of the first lunar month to today, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a banquet was held in Songmo Governor's Mansion for Huaiyi and civil and military officials from various states. Although Huaiyi had an emotional conflict with some Khitan generals, he could not leave Songmo Mansion because he had to wait for Chen Zi'ang to rendezvous.

This can be regarded as the most restrained time in his life. He knew that Wanyan Huaren beside him was Li Jinzhong's undercover agent, and he also knew that Li Jinzhong had formed an alliance with his second master and was ready to rebel against the Zhou Emperor. Every time the Khitan general's rough words would be rejected by him

Interpreted as contempt for oneself.

In the past fifteen days, he had not attended Li Jinzhong's banquet for most of the time. If Chen Zi'ang didn't meet up at Songmo Mansion after the Lantern Festival today, he decided to return to Luoyang. He really couldn't stand the arrogant contempt of these Khitan people!

The Khitan people did not have many festivals, and most of them imitated the festival customs of the Central Plains. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Songmo Mansion also held a large-scale event. Li Jinzhong wanted to try his best to win over Huaiyi so that he could speak well in front of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

A few sentences.

He had other thoughts and set up a new event today, archery to win prizes. It was indeed the most popular event. All the maids No. 100 of the Songmo Dudu Mansion, who were of decent appearance and under the age of twenty-five, were all

He put it on the show.

Each woman stands next to an archery target, standing thirty feet away. On the white lime line, each archery target has a large bow. As long as you hit the target with the bow, the maid will play with you.

A whole day. Of course, if you fail to hit the target, you will lose a hundred white sheep to the Songmo Governor's Mansion on the spot.

Most of the women in Songmo Mansion are plump and coveted. With their upper bodies half exposed in the ice and snow, the men immediately stared at the past like honey and slowly looked at the past. Civil servants will naturally complain about the arrangements of the Governor's Mansion, but please don't complain.

On one side, there was a drinking competition that only allowed civil servants to participate.

Behind the log tables lined up, there are more than ten maids sitting. On the table are large pitchers of wine and sea bowls. This game is much easier than archery. As long as you drink and win over the woman opposite, the woman will play with you.

One day. If you lose, please keep one hundred white sheep.

Fair, right? Songmo Prefecture has always been fair. Such a fair game is open to officials from all states in Songmo Prefecture starting at noon.

Huaiyi got up very late. When he heard the noise on the parade ground of the Dudu Mansion, he called Wang Quan to watch. He saw Wanyan Huaren and Wang Yangzong standing in front of the archery range, eager to try. Ye Qilang stood on tiptoe and looked at the arrows under the target.

Although beautiful, he is not good at archery and can only swallow his saliva.

After Ye Qilang came back this time, the black cloth baggage he carried with him never left him. He always carried it on his back and never left it. Wanyan Huaren and Wang Yangzong saw this and pretended not to care at all.

Wanyan Huaren weighed several large bows, each one stronger than the last. Far away from the toughest bow and crossbow stood the most attractive woman. Her plump breasts made people only wish that their parents had not given birth to more strength for them.

Wanyan Huaren finally chose the third big bow. Of course he coveted the woman under the target of the first big bow. However, he still chose the third big bow, attached the iron arrows, and drew the bow!

An arrow shot--whoops--it hit the target! He laughed loudly and looked at the maid running under the target. Then he hugged her and said: "Take your time, brother, I'll excuse you! Haha!"

Wang Yangzong and Ye Qilang were left, and they had no choice but to watch the Khitan generals shoot at the target with their bows, and take the women back to the felt tent one by one. However, no one dared to try the most powerful giant bow.

But he saw Li Jinzhong pushing through the crowd and coming over. The generals said, "Let's see Captain Li shoot the Oiran!" Li Jinzhong took off his leather jacket, revealing the bulging muscles on his arms, and said with a smile, "No one can do it."

Use this big bow?! Haha, then let me do it, don’t waste this beauty!"

There was a roar on the field: "Captain Li, try it! Governor Li, try it!" Li Jinzhong drew his big bow and aimed at the target in the distance. Just as he was about to shoot, he saw a commotion on the wine table next to him.

He put down his big bow and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd...

***

When Huaiyi and Wang Quan walked to the big venue, they were naturally attracted by these civil and military officials and beauties from Songmo Prefecture. After a quick glance, they couldn't help but walk into the crowd.

At this table, the governor of the Independent Work Department was having a drink with the maid in front of him. The governor of the Independent Work Department was a burly and strong man, so it was easy to win over this woman. The two of them drank bowl after bowl, and the maid refilled the wine respectfully.

The independent governor seemed to be generous. While drinking, he said to the onlookers of the civil servants: "This woman is not bad, she is enough for me to torment." After that, he touched the woman's face lustfully.

The maid did not shy away, but did not stop. She added two more bowls of wine. After drinking more than ten bowls, the maid was indeed a little drunk. The independent governor smiled proudly and said: "If you don't admit defeat yet, just follow me."

He was also half drunk, so he stood up crookedly, accidentally staggering on his feet, and fell down on the wine table. The maid said: "Two more bowls, and the winner will be determined." She poured more wine.

Seeing that she was still unwilling to obey him, the Governor of Duhuo became a little angry. He slapped the table and said, "Come here!" He raised his head and as soon as he finished drinking, he vomited all over the floor.

The maid chuckled and said: "My lord, you have lost. Please give me a hundred white sheep." She took out a contract from her arms and asked the governor to sign it. It turned out that the lost sheep belonged to the maid. Wang Quan

You can tell the truth, no wonder these women drink so much.

The independent governor cursed and signed the deed. Before he could stand up and leave, the maid gave Huaiyi a half-drunk look and said, "Your Majesty, do you want my little girl to accompany you?"

Huaiyi was stunned. He was originally watching these women and felt itchy in his heart. However, he was an imperial envoy and the abbot of White Horse Temple, so he couldn't help but join in the drinking fight. He had to watch the fun from the side.

The maid saw Huaiyi's hesitation and asked, "Are you still afraid of me?" Huaiyi was the most unsettled, holding the rosary in his hand and said, "Pour the wine!" Everyone could hear that his voice was somewhat muted due to suppression.

The independent governor pushed Huaiyi away and said: "I got her half drunk, you, you... you come to eat tofu?!" This push made Huaiyi angry, a little governor actually dared to offend the imperial envoy!

Huaiyi slapped him on the chest with his backhand, causing him to vomit out all the wine left in his stomach. Standing next to him was the governor of the Tubian Department of Rilian Prefecture, who took the opportunity to shout: "This is the imperial envoy, using his power to bully others!

"

Huaiyi glared at Tubian Governor and shouted: "I can't even drink!" Wang Quan pulled him aside, but he ignored him. The anger he had been holding back for many days was finally brought out by women and wine!

Huaiyi himself was not weak in martial arts. Now he became angry and slapped Tubian Cishi again. Tubian Cishi was thin and thin, but he vomited blood after his slap!

The crowd around him suddenly accused Huaiyi. A military general from the Tubian Department had already helped the governor up, then rushed towards Huaiyi and punched him! Wang Quan could only raise his palm to deflect the punch, and then used his backhand to tap acupoints to restrain the general.

But they didn't expect that the generals from other states would curse together: "Why are these guys so arrogant here! Come up together and beat them up!" Huaiyi and Wang Quan looked at the public anger and retreated. But behind them were another

Some Khitan officials resisted and were unable to escape.

At the moment of embarrassment, Li Jinzhong shouted outside the crowd: "Get out of my way! If anyone dares to be rude to the imperial envoy, don't blame me for being rude."

The onlookers restrained their yells for a moment, but then they heard the woman retort: ​​"Captain Li, you see, they are bullying others. Not only did they injure the two governors, but they also forced me to drink with him. This is not just to take advantage of us!"

This remark caught everyone by surprise. It was only then that it became clear that she was the one who invited Huaiyi to have a drinking contest. Regardless of how many people there were in the crowd, they cheered and blamed Huaiyi and Wang Quan. At this time, Huaiyi and Wang Quan

I really can't explain myself. I don't understand the Khitan language very well, and no one is willing to listen to me if I explain.

An angry look suddenly appeared on Li Jinzhong's face, but it disappeared in an instant. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, we are used to being vulgar and casual. Don't argue with them." He waved away the crowd and escorted Huaiyi back to the room.

Huaiyi's anger was gone and he said: "This is the attitude of your Songmo Mansion in receiving the imperial envoy! I can tolerate it, but the Emperor of Zhou will not agree!" Li Jinzhong said anxiously: "Your Excellency, please speak kindly to me in front of the Emperor.

, I, Li Jinzhong, have no wrong intentions at all."

Huaiyi gained power and was unyielding, scolding: "Why are you recruiting troops so aggressively? I want to see you dismantle these troops with my own eyes!" Under this situation, Huaiyi not only bullied the maid to drink in public, but also injured two governors, and also

Arousing public outrage, Li Jinzhong was already very vigilant.

Hearing that he wanted to disband his army, he was reluctant to do so, but he pretended to be confused and still laughed and said: "Your Excellency must have made a mistake. Songmo Mansion only has 43,000 troops. The court has known this for a long time.

"

When Huaiyi heard what he said, he was speechless for a moment. He really had no evidence that Songmo Prefecture had supersized its army and expanded its army. He knew that Li Jinzhong was lying, but he couldn't expose it. Huaiyi said bitterly: "I will go back and report the truth to the emperor!"

This was said in a vague way, which made Li Jinzhong puzzled as to whether he would speak favorably for him or harm him in front of the emperor. Li Jinzhong also said tactfully: "Hey, Mr. Li will naturally be grateful to the imperial envoy."

Huaiyi was not in the mood to carefully study the meaning of Li Jinzhong's words, so he turned over and got into the wooden house, leaving a dignified general of the Dudu Mansion outside the door.
