Chapter 457 The King of Changhe holds a banquet at Hongmen
On this day, King Changhe went to court and invited King Wusun and Prime Minister Huntanhe to his house for a banquet.
"There are beautiful dancers from the Central Plains who can play Chinese musical instruments and dance. There are also cooks from the Central Plains who are good at cooking exquisite dishes. There are also rare treasures to offer." King Changhe said with a smile, "I am waiting for you.
The king and the prime minister have arrived."
"The Han people are the most cunning, what do they do for this?" Huntanhe asked the Changhe King.
"It's not what they want to do, but the old minister wants to take this opportunity to show respect to the king and the prime minister." King Changhe said, "I have always had this idea, but there is nothing new and interesting. It is so easy to have such an opportunity now, how can I miss it?
?”
"Your Majesty is preparing to entertain the Hun envoys at a banquet. It's a bit of a coincidence that you have given me such a generous gift." Huntanhe said, "We must not lose the favor of the Hun envoys."
Small countries like Wusun, Loulan, and Shanshan have been either dependent on the Han Dynasty or the Huns for many generations.
There is no definite answer, it just depends on which side is stronger.
Now that the Han court was weak and unable to protect them, they naturally considered the Xiongnu as their boss.
The Xiongnu also sent envoys to stay in their capital all year round. These Xiongnu envoys were as powerful as the emperors of these small states.
"That being the case, that would be better. Why not invite the Huns' envoys to the old minister's house." King Changhe continued to lobby, "I will definitely not let them down. Tsk tsk, that woman is really beautiful.
"
In fact, King Wusun was very interested. Although he was the king of a country, he was also greedy for money and lustful. Of course, he would not have thought that there was a conspiracy behind King Changhe's invitation to the banquet.
Let alone him, the Changhe King himself would not have believed it three days ago.
"Master Prime Minister, these Han people have brought a fine red gold Buddha statue, which is inlaid with seven treasures. The pearl is as big as the top of your finger." King Changhe said to Huntanhe, "Your old lady worships Buddha devoutly. If you will
If this golden Buddha is placed in the Buddhist hall, what is the difference between it and the lower realm of the real Buddha?"
Countries in the Western Regions are far away in the desert. They believe that the most rare and rare treasures are pearls, corals, clams and other things produced in the sea.
Huntanhe's mother was King Wusun's grandmother, and she was very fond of Buddha.
Although Huntanhe was hostile to the Changhe King, he never expected that the abandoned son of the Huns, Yizhigui, who was almost forgotten by them, would come here and conspire with the Changhe King.
He just felt that the Changhe King was trying to please them. After all, the status of the Changhe King's family was not what it used to be. The front door of the mansion where guests used to come and go was now deserted and deserted, and they were even more worried that they would encounter disaster in the future.
But if they could invite the king and themselves to their house, it would mean that they had regained the king's respect.
That's why the Changhe King spent so much money.
"Uncle, it's rare for King Changhe to be so sincere. To refuse too much would be to chill his heart." King Wusun said.
Huntanhe then followed suit and said, "Since your Majesty has said so, let us all go to the Changhe Prince's Mansion the night after tomorrow."
Wusun people like to have banquets in the evening, singing and dancing all night long.
What Hutan He wanted was to eat for free if he didn't want it, and if he didn't take it, he wouldn't take it for free. In fact, he had long thought of plundering the palace of Prince Changhe, but it just didn't taste good and looked ugly.
Now he came to the door himself and begged again and again. He didn't want to go, but he seemed to be afraid of him.
Isn't it the same thing to pick them up after you finish eating?
King Changhe smiled happily when he saw that the two of them had agreed to his request: "I will go back and ask them to prepare carefully and wait for your arrival."
Two days later in the evening, King Wusun and the Prime Minister arrived at Changhe Palace with three Huns envoys and numerous entourage.
Prince Changhe and his son had already greeted him outside the mansion.
When we got indoors, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Prince Changhe's Mansion has a group of carefully selected maids all year round, all of whom are beautiful and smart.
With them serving, most of the entourage brought by King Wusun and others were replaced.
Yu Lun diligently led these people to his other room and gave them a banquet to treat them well.
One dish after another of delicacies was served, many of which were dishes from the Central Plains.
These dishes were cooked by Jin Changsheng and Lu Kaishan. They are not unusual in the Central Plains, but here things are rare and expensive.
Immediately afterwards, the singers raised in Changhe Prince's Mansion came up to play music and dance.
Prince Changhe and his son, as well as all the serving maids, were all eager to drink. After a while, these people were all drunk.
"Didn't I say that there is a beautiful singer from Zhongyuan? Why haven't you come up yet?" Huntanhe was quite drunk after eating, so he shouted for the singer to perform a dance.
"Please be patient, Prime Minister, it's coming." The King of Rivers said that the dance music that was about to be performed stopped and he clapped his hands twice. As expected, a woman in a colorful dress floated up to where the curtains were.
She is very tall, but she is also really beautiful.
It's just that he has a cold face that makes people afraid to get close to him.
She didn't say anything when she came in. She just gave a slight salute to those sitting there.
No one thought she was rude, because in everyone's mind, beauty should be somewhat reserved.
"What does this beauty know?" One of the Hun envoys couldn't hold himself back.
"Ambassador, she doesn't understand our language." Changhe King said with a smile, "Let her play the flute!"
Then the singer took out a jade flute and played a tune carefully, which was melodious and melodious, making people enchanted.
"This song is very beautiful. Please have a full drink," King Changhe took the opportunity to persuade him to drink.
"Although the music is good, it is not as good as a beautiful woman dancing." The Huns envoy shouted, "Tell her to take off her coat and dance for us."
"She is best at sword dancing," Yu Lun said. "That day she performed at my house for the first time. I was really stunned."
Hearing what he said, the others suddenly felt itchy and urged to start quickly.
The beautiful singer turned around, took out two long swords, and stood in the center of the room.
Then the music started playing, and she danced a sword flower with both hands.
The next move shows off his skills one after another, sometimes vigorous and sometimes graceful. It is obvious that he has put in hard work, otherwise he would never be so masterful.
Everyone was stunned, and so many pairs of eyes followed her that they even forgot where they were.
I saw this singer's figure like a willow swinging in the wind, moving forward and backward, left and right, and her two long swords were only visible as light and shadow, but not her real body.
Passing by the drinking table of three Huns envoys, the long sword in the singer's hand swept past. It was unclear what move she had used, and she quickly retreated to the center.
The maid pouring the wine next to her felt her face heat up. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and found blood dripping from nowhere on her face.
While he was wondering, he saw the three Huns envoys reaching out to touch his neck with suspicious expressions.
With just a snap of their fingers, blood spurted out from between their fingers.
