On the fifteenth day of the last lunar month in the forty-seventh year of King Jinming's reign, the Yu tribe's hunting group entered Beijing.
Prince Yi Mo led hundreds of officials out of the Zhuque Gate to greet him in person, and held a banquet in the royal Leyou Garden, accompanied by many disciples from aristocratic families.
Zhikarizhen was also among them. He was dressed in rich clothes and had a jade hairpin in his bun. He was sitting on his knees in front of a dining table outside. He deliberately did not bring a sword to avoid attracting the attention of the Yu clan.
Wang Ziqiao sat behind him, with Zhou Chu on the right, and Xie Xuan sat on the left. He casually picked off a jasmine flower from the flower bed, inserted it diagonally in his clothes, and looked at the meandering water passing by in front of him. "Brother Yuan, Brother Xie, Brother Zhou..." Kong Jiuyan came to sit down and greeted everyone one by one meticulously. Kong Junzi followed slowly and slowly, keeping a secret glance from the corner of his eyes. The plan for the year lies in summer, little lady.
What they wear is so light and transparent.
"Everyone, have you seen my thirteenth brother recently?" After a few words of greeting, Kong Jiuyan couldn't help but ask, with a bit of anxiety on his brows. After the Mengyin Festival, he stayed in Jiankang to look for his thirteenth brother, and it is still difficult to find him.
Looking for traces.
Everyone shook their heads, and Kong Jiuyan became more and more worried. Although Xiao Shisan likes to fool around, he is not so ignorant. Could it be that there really was an accident?
"Xiao An, I heard that you made an appointment with my cousin a few days ago, and the two of you quietly traveled to Qinhuai at night?" Xie Xuan glanced at Wang Liangmi sitting in front and deliberately raised his voice.
Brothers Wang Hui and Wang Xian looked at each other, moved their knees quietly, tilted their backs slightly, and listened carefully. In the past few days, the erotic story of Yuan An and Xie Yongxu's midnight private trip has been revealed.
The news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiankang and became a hot topic in teahouses and restaurants.
It is said that Xie Yongxu was thrown rotten eggs by some dissatisfied women when he went out yesterday.
Zhikari said helplessly: "Brother Big Mouth, the two of us are just discussing swordsmanship. Don't listen to the rumors in the market."
"It's not necessarily unfounded." Xie Xuan showed a sly smile, "You made a private appointment at Qinhuai River in the middle of the night just to discuss swordsmanship. Hehe, Xiao An, your ability to tell lies is not as good as your swordsmanship."
Wang Huishen nodded in agreement. Wang Xian shook the gold folding fan and shook it violently in an exaggerated manner. On the fan, there were four big characters "To conceal the truth" written clearly.
The corner of Zhikarizhen's mouth twitched slightly: "Why should I deceive Brother Big Mouth? This is indeed the case."
"Okay, I believe you, brother." Xie Xuan glanced at Wang Liangmi again and said in an ambiguous tone, "I believe that you two men and two women did nothing but discuss swords in the middle of the night."
Confucius stroked his beautiful beard and sighed: "When dry wood and fierce fire meet, they can defeat countless people in the world!"
Zhi Shouzhen looked at Xie Xuan: "If I did anything else, wouldn't I become your brother-in-law, Da Zui?"
Xie Xuan was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He grabbed the crystal crab bun on the food table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yuan An wants to be the son-in-law of the Xie family? Wang Hui's eyes lit up and he whispered a few words to the disciple of the family next to him. The man mysteriously informed his neighbor. After this, hundreds of disciples of the family began to spread the word——
"Yuan An and Xie Yongxu are getting married next month!"
These aristocratic families were at the outermost edge of the banquet, sitting layer by layer in a ring. The food tables woven with bamboo were all in fresh emerald green. Viewed from above, they looked like the calyx of a giant flower.
The circle is the seat of the elders of the family, which is also distributed in a ring, surrounded by layers. The dining tables are all made of vermilion red wood, like blooming red petals.
This is the most fashionable flower banquet for the Jiankang clan. The inner part of the flower is a golden dining table polished with sunstone. All the officials in the court are sitting at attention. Prince Yi Mo, Situ Wang Tingzhi, Sikong Pan Yangming, General Gao Qingyue, and
A dozen or so Yu tribesmen are standing in front of the suet-fat jade dining table, located in the center of the entire flower-like feast.
"Where's King Jin Ming? Why don't you come out and propose a toast to me?" Luan An held the bronze wine baron and turned it back and forth in his palm, ignoring Prince Yi Mo who stood respectfully in front of him and raised his glass in toast.
There was silence all around, and all the officials secretly frowned. Yi Mo looked stiff and said: "The king has been ill for more than a month and has difficulty moving. He is still recuperating in the palace. I hope your superiors will be considerate."
"Oh - that's it." Luan An said in a long voice, with a smile on his face, "I thought King Jin Ming didn't look down on me, the envoy of the Yu clan?"
"The envoy misunderstood." Yi Mo held up the wine cup and stood in a dilemma. But when it came to matters such as Taoist ritual gatherings and Yu clan's inspection of the capital, which were detrimental to the royal family's face, King Jin Ming would always excuse himself because of his illness.
Prince's top bag.
"Misunderstanding?" Luan An sneered and pushed the wine master down casually. The pink wine pulp spilled out and splashed on Yi Mo's four-clawed cloud-turning python robe. "Do you need me to go to the palace and visit King Jinming in person?
Huh?"
Yi Mo lowered his head and stared at the drops of wine sliding across the python robe. He clenched the hand that was holding the cup tightly, and then slowly released it. "How dare you work so hard?" He said swallowingly.
"Don't you dare?" Luan An stretched out his hand and patted Yi Mo's shoulder heavily, "I see how courageous you short-lived ones are!" This was the custom of the Yu tribe's envoys, and he had to intimidate him first.
Foreigners have to make things difficult in every possible way before they can reap the benefits. This time Feng Lao is accompanying him. Although he doesn't know the other party's purpose, it is always right to squeeze out more property and show filial piety.
Ji Kang, who was far away, saw Luan An's almost insulting action, and couldn't help but get angry, but was tightly grabbed by Shan Tao, who was sitting next to him. "Brother Ji, endure this momentary humiliation, and don't let anyone live in ruins."
Ji Kang glared at each other: "You always tolerate, tolerate, tolerate! Just be a coward!"
Shan Tao whispered: "Even if you want to be angry, you have to be justified. Doing it forcefully will only cause the court to suffer greater humiliation."
"These birds!" Ji Kang hesitated for a moment, sat down angrily, grabbed the wine bottle from the maid's hand, and raised his head to drink.
Most of the elders of the family turned a blind eye to this, turned a blind eye to it, and just kept drinking. Didn't you see that no one from the Chongxuan Department showed up at all? Even the Taoist sects avoided the scene, so why did they bother to dip into this troubled water? The royal family has been quite restless recently.
, just use the hands of the Yu clan to knock it out.
"These bird people are so arrogant!" Xie Xuan curled his lips, "Is having more hair a big deal?"
"There's always a time to teach them a lesson." Zhou Chu held the soft gun with a silver chain around his waist, his eyes burning.
"Brother Zhou said exactly what he said." Kong Jiuyan said solemnly. The members of these aristocratic families were all young and vigorous, and they were quite dissatisfied with the Yu clan. They could not go against the wishes of the clan, so they had to deliberately eat melon seeds, bite fresh fruits, and eat melons.
Fruit husks were scattered everywhere.
"The envoy's words are wrong." The clear voice was like cracking stone through clouds, shaking the sky with excitement. Every time he said a word, the wine stains on Yi Mo's robe turned into a trace of mist, and evaporated "Zi Zi". At the end of the sentence
When the word "矣" is spoken, the wine in Yimo's cup evaporates and turns into a pink "天" in the air, flying gracefully and lingering for a long time.
"Before the great road, there was only life and death, so how could there be any difference between long and short?" Gao Qingyue's eyes were calm and her steps were sonorous. She took the wine baron from Yi Mo and threw it on the ground. "Pfft!" The wine baron entered without any trace.
, leaving only a bottomless hole.
The surrounding family members couldn’t help but get excited and burst into thunderous applause.
Lianxu Hedao! Luan An stared at Gao Qingyue, his green pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of coldness burst out: "A mere foreigner from Hedao, how dare you throw a cup in front of this envoy and be rude?"
A sword cultivator from the Luan tribe who had returned to the void after refining the gods suddenly stood up. There was a sudden chill in the surroundings. A sharp sword energy rushed out from his body. The air broke through the air waves visible to the naked eye and shot directly at the Gao Qing Yuemen.
