The Governor's Mansion is located not far from the Shuozhou Government Office. Tonight, the Governor's Mansion is brightly lit, with high-hanging lanterns illuminating the entire Governor's Mansion. There have been no happy events in the Governor's Mansion recently, just because it has never happened.
A group of people came from the Khitan Kingdom, and of course the leader was the Khitan Crown Prince Yelu Changsheng. On this trip, Yelu Changsheng did not bring many followers, except for some powerful guards and some close officials.
The grand banquet held in the Governor's Mansion was, of course, to give the Khitan Crown Prince an audience. In fact, the Governor Xiao Dongping had already received His Highness the Crown Prince, but this time he held a banquet in the mansion just to welcome the Prince in Shuozhou City.
Officials and the aristocratic families in Shuozhou City knew that he, Xiao Dongping, had officially joined the service of His Highness the Crown Prince. Xiao Dongping didn't care about those suspicions about melon fields and Li Xia. Anyway, sooner or later, he would be exposed, so it would be better to let the Khitan's civil and military elites go earlier.
The official knows.
Shuozhou is originally a barren city. Anyway, there are some wealthy family members here. Compared with these wealthy family members, if the Khitan wants to rule Shuozhou in a real sense, of course it still needs to acquire these family members.
In other words, Xiao Dongping did a better job in this regard, and he did not treat one favorably against another, but treated them equally. The reason why Xiao Dongping was able to stabilize the situation in Shuozhou was, of course, indispensable for the support of these noble families.
Under the Khitan's iron-blooded policy towards the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, civil rebellion was inevitable, and although Shuozhou was the headquarters of the Guiyi Army, the confrontation between the Guiyi Army and the Khitan did not gain much. The Guiyi Army
The stalemate relationship with the Khitan Army has always been balanced. This is mainly due to the governor of Shuozhou. Or maybe it is some kind of tacit understanding between Xiao Dongping and the commander-in-chief of the Guiyi Army, Guo Cunyi. Shuozhou is really good for Xiao Dongping.
have very deep feelings.
Although the governor's son, the number one dandy in Shuozhou City, knew Yelu Changsheng's identity, he was secretly surprised, but as the number one dandy in Shuozhou City, this was not the most convincing thing for him.
If the Khitan prince can get the beautiful woman in green, who is as beautiful as a fairy, then he, Xiao Shihan, will truly admire the Khitan prince. Of course, people’s eyes are different, and their moods will be different if their eyes are different. Xiao Shihan
The reason why Shihan had such an idea was understandable. His father was a feudal official in Shuozhou. When he returned to the capital and went to Beijing, even if he didn't hug the big tree of the prince, there would be a different situation. It was just that he Xiao Shi
Han Ke can't become the number one dude in Beijing.
As a centurion, Luo Lie was very happy and proud to be invited to the Governor's Mansion, but Luo Lie did not show any happiness or pride. He didn't know that being the only one in the Khitan military camp
He is a Han centurion, and he is not a centurion with great military exploits. What qualifications does he have to be invited by the governor? This is not the most important thing, because Luo Lie brought someone to the appointment, and that person was of course the one who kidnapped him that day.
Guo Dashao of the Guiyi Army who joined the military camp.
In fact, Luo Lie was not the only centurion who came to attend the banquet of the Governor's Mansion. Of course, there were also some Khitan centurions who received the invitation from the Governor. Each centurion could bring one attendant, and those
Of course, the entourage was located at the most remote location. The centurion and the centurion were at the same table, but relatively close to each other.
Guo Huaian lowered his head and remained silent. He only focused on drinking in a low profile. He had no interaction with the other entourage brought by the centurion. He just quietly listened to the nonsense of these entourage. As for Guo Huaian's identity, the final question
At least these followers have no suspicion. After all, the Khitan military camp is so large and there are so many soldiers. It is normal for them to be strangers to each other. These followers are all soldiers of these centurions, or they are capable of doing so.
Generals, just to make them look good in the governor's mansion.
The big shots have the elegance of the big shots, and the little guys of course have the excitement of the little guys. In addition to the Khitan prince, there are also Shuozhou guard Yeluzan and Shuozhou governor Xiao Dongping at the main table, as well as some people at the helm of aristocratic families. After that,
They are the younger generations of those noble families, including Xiao Shihan of course, and then there are some small and medium-sized officials in Shuozhou City and the centurions in the Khitan military camp, and finally there are some officials led by some.
Where the attendants sit.
The guests of honor chatted happily, and then started eating and drinking. The lively banquet started quietly. The common people threw their arms away and started eating and drinking, but those who pretended to be gentle were playing something.
The poems were recited in a proper style, and from time to time dancers invited from the Miao Yufang would dance to add to the fun. There were gentle charms as charming as water among the roughness, and there were also elegant disputes among the hustle and bustle.
Guo Huaian couldn't help but look towards the endless night. The night sky was filled with stars at this time, and he could clearly see the shining stars embedded in the night sky. The heavy snowfall in the past few days seemed to have fallen.
The world was vast, stars were twinkling, and the night sky was like a wash. The night was still early, and he was secretly counting the time in his heart. He did not participate in the conversations of those rough followers, but silently drank the wine in the cup.
.
I don’t know when a warm applause broke out, but it was the dancers invited from Miaoyufang who completed a beautiful dance. Under the dim light, the snow-white skin of the dancers and the flying silk were revealed.
The gauze shows their exquisite bodies vividly. Although it is an evocative dance, the rouge and gouache wiped on the faces of the dancers really makes people feel that it is not enough. Even though the beautiful women from Jiangnan came to this barren Shuozhou
, under the blowing of wind and sand, no matter how good your skin is, it will become rough.
After the dance was over, the guests were enjoying themselves, and while cups and chopsticks were interlacing, the light figure of a woman covered in black gauze stepped onto the stage. The woman covered her face with black gauze.
The snow-white jade limbs appeared and disappeared in the long black gauze skirt. Compared with the group dance just now, this single dancer's body was full of irresistible temptation. As the black gauze woman
As he came on stage, the hustle and bustle in the governor's mansion began to fall silent.
The sturdy style of the border, and the dancer showed exactly this sturdy style of the border. The dancing posture of the black gauze that stirred in people's hearts was like the overwhelming wind and sand. But in the blink of an eye, the opening and closing were unrestrained.
The dance changed to a lingering and gentle trembling like a gurgling stream. The flying black gauze skirt rose gracefully, and the woman was like catkins in the spring breeze, lingering and delicate, which made people feel pity for her.
Suddenly, a ray of cold light lit up from the hand of the woman in black gauze, and the cold light overflowed. The slender thighs and the jade-like hands all exuded a mesmerizing light under the dim light.
It is as lustrous as drunkenness. The veil is flying, and the figure is like a swallow, whirling and round, and the pair of soul-stirring eyes are filled with a charming light like autumn water. The hand in the hand
The long sword is like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River swimming under the cold wind and light, and the black gauze skirt contains endless tenderness of spring.
Everyone was attracted by the dance in front of them. Even Xiao Shihan, who had seen countless women, looked stunned. He was also secretly muttering in his heart, why was he showing off such a perfect woman like this?
I have never met him in Zhoucheng. With the ups and downs of the dance, his heart was scratching like a cat, and his eyes could not leave the woman in black gauze. The corners of Yelu Changsheng's mouth raised slightly, no one knew that he
What is on his mind? What makes him different from others is that his eyes are extremely clear and there is no obsession.
Finally, everyone watched the woman in black gauze disappear from sight like an elf, and everyone reluctantly withdrew their gaze. And the woman in black gauze seemed to draw away their souls, making everyone feel sad.
There was a sense of loss. In a sense of melancholy, Xiao Dongping, the governor of Shuozhou, who was the organizer of this banquet, was certainly very proud. You must know that he spent a lot of money to invite this woman in black gauze.
"Everyone, keep drinking. This dance just now is from the Western Regions. I don't know if everyone is satisfied with it." Xiao Dongping's face was full of pride. He raised his glass and said to everyone. Only then did everyone react, and their hearts flashed.
After a moment of shame, I didn't expect that just one dance would take away their souls. This concentration is really embarrassing. However, this is just a small episode in this banquet. Everyone is there.
In the enthusiastic response, the embarrassment just now was forgotten.
There was one person present who had clear eyes and was not affected by the woman in black gauze. That person was naturally Guo Huaian. But from the time when the woman in black gauze appeared to when she left, he paid close attention to the woman in black gauze.
He followed every move of the woman in black gauze, because he felt that the woman in black gauze carried a mysterious charm, which was a kind of charm. As for the dances Xiao Dongping said came from the Western Regions, he thought they were only from the Western Regions.
Only then is it possible for Tianmo Wu to have such an effect.
He secretly paid attention to the woman in black gauze who gave him a dangerous aura. He did not expect that Xiao Dongping was so capable that he could invite dancers from the Western Regions. However, he saw that the woman in black gauze had a layer of darkness on her face.
But the eyes and forehead were exposed. The forehead of the woman with black gauze was slightly higher, her eyes were deep-set, and her pupils were still blue. He concluded that this woman with black gauze should come from the Western Regions, but he
I don’t know why this woman came to this barren Shuozhou.
Nangong Xianchen's face was a little pale, and Ye Yinfeng, who was standing next to him, had even more concerned eyes. "What's up, has something happened to Qing Ling?" He asked Nangong Xianchen eagerly, because now,
They had been in Shuozhou for several days, but they still had no news about Qing Ling. Only then did Nangong Xianchen use the "Great Thousand Machines Witchcraft" to predict Qing Ling's bad omen.
"It's impossible to make a reservation, but Qing Ling's life is not in danger for the time being. Besides, she is with the young man named Tang Qi, so there shouldn't be any accidents." Nangong Xianchen's eyes showed a hint of worry, and she raised her head slightly.
Chao Ye Yinfeng comforted her, but she knew that Qing Ling's fate was hazy. It seemed that someone had deliberately covered up her fate so that she could not find out anything about it, but she did not say it out loud.
When Ye Yinfeng heard this, he suddenly felt calm. At this time, there was a slight knock on the door. Ye Yinfeng opened the door, and Ling Tianyun appeared in front of the door dressed in black and masked. He nodded towards the latter.
"You don't need to participate in this operation. There may be some chaos tonight. You have to be careful." Ye Yinfeng did not cover up his secrets deliberately. He casually took out a silk handkerchief and covered it with himself.
on the face.
Two figures shuttled wantonly in Shuozhou City, and then the two figures passed over the tile eaves without making a single sound. They headed towards the north city wall, and the two of them were sucked in like geckos.
They climbed onto the city wall, and then slowly climbed up to the city wall. The two of them climbed up to the city wall silently. The city wall was hidden in the night, and no one knew that someone would cling to the city wall like a gecko.
.
Soon they arrived at the top of the city wall. The two men turned slightly to avoid the gaze of the patrolling Khitan soldiers. They emerged from the arrow stack. Then, the two bodies were as close as a gust of wind.
When the patrolling Khitan soldiers arrived at the city tower, they slipped and arrived at the key room of the city tower. The key point of this mechanism was the small room where the city gate was opened.
The two rough-looking Khitan soldiers did not notice their arrival at all.
With a flash of cold light, the two Khitan soldiers fell limply, and the eyes of the two people who rushed up to the tower intertwined. One of them was guarding the door of this crucial hut, while the other rushed in.
In the small room, there was a slight rumbling sound of the machine starting up.
As the rumbling sound sounded, the thick city gate slowly opened, and finally the city gate was completely opened. Countless figures sprang up from outside the city, and cold light burst out from the hands of the figures.
When he came out, a bloodthirsty atmosphere arose spontaneously.
