Chapter 121

People who are fighting for their lives on the edge of the knife are the most taboo to curse the oath.Hearing the curse, Akuibu originally wanted to retreat, but he couldn't get down in front of the officers and soldiers, and was in a dilemma.At this time Xuan Ce suddenly stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Hmph, what kind of status are you, a little girl, to dare to ask General Akuibu Mingmei to marry you, it's really wishful thinking. Why don't you hurry up and stay here to be an eyesore?"

Xiao Ye Zi bowed and saluted, and sat back in the car.Chai Songqiu Yishui hurriedly drove the carriage into the city, seeing that he was far away from Akuibu and the others, Qiu Yishui let out a long sigh of relief: "I was scared to death just now, I didn't expect to meet Akuibu and Xuan Ce just after entering the city , I was lucky to have escaped unharmed."

Although Xiao Yezi had spoken generously just now, she was still in a cold sweat when she managed to get through the crisis. At this moment, Qiu Yishui mentioned the names of the two, and asked in confusion, "Who are Ah Kui Bu and Xuan Ce? Are they very powerful?" ?”

Chai Song said in a low voice: "This Zhuolu Akubu and Ule Xuance are all well-known generals of the Yanjin Empire. All the military power of the Yanjin Empire is controlled by the Tianren Sect, and the Tianren Sect is divided into four churches. They are the Fenglei Hall in charge of long-range shooters, the Dragon and Tiger Hall in charge of infantry, the Thunder Hall, and the Shenwei Hall in charge of mechanical siege. Above the four halls, there are two coaches on the left and right. Akuibu is the hall master of Dragon and Tiger Hall In the past, Yelu Xiye, who was facing Mr. Yeli in the past, was the coach of Fenglei Hall and Shenwei Hall, while Xuan Ce was the coach of Thunder Mart Hall and Dragon Tiger Hall."

"I see." Xiao Yezi nodded, "If I can get close to Ah Kui Bu and Xuan Ce, maybe I can get the city defense map of Yandang City."

Chai Song smiled, and before he could speak, Qiu Yishui rushed to say, "That's all for Xuan Ce, that Ah Kui Bu... Don't be so naive, little leaf, we would rather not find the city defense map than sacrifice you, a little girl." Baby. Otherwise, the young pavilion master will have to skin my cramps when he comes back."

Chai Song smiled and continued: "Yi Shui, don't you still believe in the vision of the young pavilion master? Little Ye Zi just said a few words that made that Ah Kui Bu dumbfounded, very clever. But unless it is necessary, don't take any risks. Otherwise, it's not just that Shaoge mainly punishes us, I'm afraid..." He paused and smiled slightly, "I'm afraid others can't let the two of us go."

"Who else is it, Li Li?" Xiao Yezi stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Hmph, I'm afraid he's only thinking about how to be a good son-in-law of the Xue family, hahaha." She changed her mind and said with a smile, "In my opinion, that Ah Kui Bu may be good at fighting, but he is an idiot. If I were Wan Yan Mie, I would definitely not entrust important matters to him. The focus of our spying should still be on Xuan Ce. I don't know What interest does this Xuan Ce have? We can also prescribe the right medicine."

"Xuance is Akuibu's immediate superior, and he is also the most senior official among the Yanjin generals stationed in Yandang City. The city defense map must be in his hands. Recently, Tuotar cavalry frequently harassed the northwest border of the Yanjin Empire. Li was deeply disturbed by it, and ordered Wanyan Mie and Yelu Xiye to lead troops to suppress it. Only Xuan Ce was left in the city to guard the city, and Akui Bu stayed to assist. The morale of Xuan Ce's imperial servants was affected by the defeat of the day before, and they were all recuperating. Because of the closed city, Xuan Ce is a serious and introverted person. In addition to supervising new troops in the army and reviewing official documents, he usually comes to a drunk shop for a few drinks. Maybe come for three or five days, or come for a day or two. When I came here, I just sat in the corner and drank a few cups, keeping quiet." Qiu Yishui said.

After listening to Qiu Yishui's narration, Xiao Yezi tilted her head and thought for a while: "...he works all day long except for work. He is obviously a motivated person. The reason why he comes to the wine shop for a drink is nothing more than to rest and think. Fortunately We have attracted his attention at the gate of the city, and the next step is to make him pay more attention to us, so that we can approach him step by step and gain his trust. Only by gaining his trust can we steal The map of the city defense. Let's buy his favorite wine shop and wait for him to catch a turtle. I don't believe that he has no flaws. Given time, he will be able to take the bait."

Seeing that she seemed to have an idea, Qiu Yishui asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Xiao Yezi's eyes flashed, and then she smiled slyly: "It's better to get what you ask for than to flatter you."

Chai Song and Qiu Yishui looked at each other and smiled: "So, our Young Pavilion Master will have to spend money again. Hahaha..."

At present, Chai Song and Qiu Yishui made some inquiries in the city, and they successfully purchased a wine shop that Xuan Ce frequented - Yizuifang, and put up a water sign, saying that Yizuifang changed owners and opened, and the new one was old. There are several urns of fine wine, and Li Hongyao, an exotic dancer, sits in the town, posting a list to find someone who is destined, if the dancer is favored, the drink will be free of charge when entering the curtain, and he will be regarded as a guest of honor.If you don't have a good eye, you will double the price of alcohol, and what's more, you will be driven out of the wine shop.

Yandang City has been in a state of defeat for a long time, and everyone is suppressed and eager to relax. At this time, they heard about such new things, and they all came to a drunk shop to watch the excitement.

But when everyone really rushed to Yizuifang, there was no sign of the dancing girl: "Why don't you see the dancing girl?"

The door of the wine shop was pushed open with a creak, and a pretty maid came out slowly, bowing slightly to the audience: "Everyone is welcome, our lady said, our drunk shop has changed owners recently, and the rules have been changed. , choose guests to receive. Please also be more tolerant, don’t gather here, and go to play elsewhere.”

Everyone was puzzled: "This restaurant of yours doesn't open to sell wine, but chooses customers to drive away customers. Are you just waiting to close down?"

The maid smiled slightly: "If the restaurant does not accept customers, it is not a restaurant. But if everyone accepts it, how is it different from a street stall? Our lady said that no matter how good the goods are, they must be sold to those who know the family. If it is really destined People, our lady is responsible for her own profits and losses, drinks are free, and she is willing to dance and laugh. If there is no fate, then there is no need to meet each other, which will only increase troubles."

Everyone was talking about what a predestined person is, when suddenly there was a creak upstairs, a small and exquisite beauty pushed open the window, leaned out half of her body, and glanced downstairs.Although this beauty is covered with a half veil, her eyes are gazing wildly, extremely agile, with just a slight look, there are countless charms and shyness.

When everyone was in a daze, the beauty's eyes twitched, and she seemed to smile slightly. She slowly stretched out her bright wrist and held it in the air.Suddenly a piano sound was heard, the beauty's upper body did not move, but her fingertips trembled slightly.As if a switch had been turned on, she saw her slender white fingertips sliding softly in the air, driving the palm to twist slowly, followed by the wrist, lower arm, elbow, upper arm... the whole arm seemed to have no joints. Like an ordinary snake, it twisted and trembled weakly and bonelessly under the sun.The bright sunlight, the snow-white arms, the green fingers, and the faint sweat oozing from the skin all looked extremely enchanting and soul-stirring.

Seeing such a scene, the men downstairs felt as if they were under a spell. They couldn't take their eyes off each other, and praised silently in their hearts: "This dancer is so enchanting with only one arm exposed. If she falls in love with me in front of me Wu, I really don’t regret dying under the peony flower.” The women also blushed and felt itchy: “If I can learn a little bit of this charming rhyme, it would be so beautiful.”

The sound of the piano only rang for a few times and then stopped.The masked beauty also tapped her finger in the air, pointing to a clear-faced scholar in the crowd.It was quite unexpected that the scholar was selected, and in overjoyed, he followed the pretty woman into the restaurant.Not long after, the sound of music and dancing came from the wine shop, the scholar was laughing endlessly, and he didn't know what kind of fun he had.After half an hour, the scholar came out drunkenly, with a drunken expression on his face: "If you meet such a woman in this life, you will have no regrets in your life, no regrets!" After speaking, he laughed and left.Seeing this, everyone was even more curious.But the pretty maid had already gone out to thank the guests, closed the door of the restaurant tightly, and would not pick up any more guests.

After that, every one or two days, the restaurant only opened once, and only one person was ordered at a time.Every time the person who was targeted walked out of the wine shop, he would be fascinated, lingering, returning like a fairyland, full of admiration.As a result, the name of the red-waisted dancer quickly spread throughout Yandang City.All the dignitaries in the city do not want to be the guest of honor, but the red-waisted dancer is indifferent, and only chooses the guest of honor according to her heart.The more reckless she is, the more people in Yandang City flock to her, wishing she could lose their family property and give her a thousand gold to be favored by a beautiful woman.

And this new story quickly reached Xuan Ce's ears.

...the red-waisted dancer?Never heard of it.Could it be... the little beauty I met by chance at the gate of the city in the past?

In the past, she declined Ah Kuibu politely, which only made him feel that this woman is neither humble nor overbearing, soft yet strong.Unexpectedly, she has such an ability, without even revealing her face, she incites the hearts of all the men in the city.Xuan Ce paid attention and decided to take a look at it.

On this day, it was time for a drunk shop to open and select customers.Xuan Ce mixed in the crowd and came to the door of Yizuifang.At this time, the entrance of Yizuifang was already crowded with spectators, and in the front row of the crowd, several city princes had already moved their chairs and sat in front of the building to wait.The once ordinary Yizuifang has now become a new scenic spot in the city. Even traders and pawns are taking advantage of this momentum to open their businesses here, hoping to grab a share of the fame of the red-waisted dancer.Looking at these signboards with the name "Red Waist" hidden in them, Xuan Ce couldn't help but feel even more curious—how much more capable is this little beauty?

As the city guard equivalent to the city lord, Xuan Ce was always recognized even if he was hidden among the crowd.Seeing that even a high-ranking official like Xuan Ce came for the red-waisted dancer, everyone was even more sensational.Xuan Ce was coaxed by others, although he only had a smile on his face, he felt a little proud of the attention he received, he waved his hand to signal, and then walked to the door of Yizuifang and stood still.Immediately, there was a report from the soldiers: "Master Ule Xuance is here, why don't you come out to greet him?"

As soon as the door rang, the pretty maid and the musicians of the wine shop had already gone out to greet him: "Xiaomin pays homage to Lord Ule."

Xuan Ce hummed, and said calmly, "Why are there only the two of you, where is the red-waisted lady?"

The musician bowed his head and said: "My lady is very honored to hear that Mr. Wu Le is here. She has arranged small dishes and sake in the room to welcome him. I also ask Mr. Wu Le not to dislike the narrowness of the wine shop, and move your honor to sit in the inner room."

Xuan Ce smiled: "I heard that only those who are predestined are not allowed to enter the inner room of Miss Hongyao. What's the matter? Seeing that the official is here in person, don't you pay attention?"

The musician responded with a smile: "My young lady expected that the adult should ask this question, so I specially ordered the villain to explain to the adult that the lady entertained the adult, not to respect the adult's rank, nor to make friends with the adult, but to reward the adult for being a young lady at the city gate. This is the kind invitation for the kindness of the siege."

Xuan Ce's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "In that case, I will thank Miss Hongyao for your hospitality in advance."

The musician led Xuan Ce into the inner room.I saw the fragrant mist in the room, and the red-waisted dancer in a soft red gauze robe was already sitting on the side of the couch table in the inner room, waiting quietly.As soon as Hong Yao saw Xuance, he got up immediately, and floated down in front of Xuan Ce like a cloud of red clouds, bowed his head and whispered softly: "Hong Yao has seen the general."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and it was neither high nor low in the quiet inner room. It was neither vulgar nor incomprehensible, and there was a hint of tenderness in the melodious voice.Hearing that Xuan Ce felt comfortable all over, a sense of pity arose in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to gently support the red waist.The two were very close to each other, and an elegant fragrance diffused from the back of the red waist and neck, and penetrated into Xuan Ce's breath like an elf - this little dancer's fragrance is very special, the whole body exudes a faint sweet fruit fragrance, Flattering but not vulgar, not as mediocre as ordinary Goulan girls.He couldn't help but gently lifted her chin, and carefully watched the half of her face revealed.Well, although she is not born with stunning beauty, her makeup is light and elegant, she looks indescribably clear, pure, soft and charming.

For a moment, he actually wanted to lift her veil a little bit, wanted to see her full complexion.But as soon as his hands touched her temples, she let out a coquettish cry, bent down and hid, and said with a soft smile like a silver bell: "Has the general forgotten the little girl's oath?"

Say hello...he likes it.Xuan Ce smiled softly: "Miss Red Waist is worrying too much, I am not a person who doesn't understand style."

The red waist twitched, and smiled slightly: "...I'm afraid the general's thinking is wrong." She clapped her hands lightly, and several servants filed in with food boxes, and filled the couch table with sake and side dishes. .Xuan Ce only felt the red waist gently flicking on his sleeve, and then heard her softly invite: "General, please come to the bed, and let the red waist hold the lamp for you."

After welcoming Xuan Ce to the couch and sitting down, Hong Yao also sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the couch table, poured a glass of sake for Xuan Ce, and said with a smile: "Small wine shops are not the rules, only some country dishes are served. General Su Wen likes to eat The little girl also brought a taste of wine from her hometown, and I asked the general to comment on it. The general is used to drinking fine wine from all over the world, so don't dislike the shallowness of the little girl here."

Xuan Ce took the wine cup in her hand, sipped it carefully, and said with a smile: "This wine is sweet and clear, with a lingering meaning in the mouth, just like the person who pours it. I don't know what the name of this wine is? Is it called red waist wine?"

The red waist smiled shyly: "Where is that, the general made fun of it. This wine comes from the countryside. It is mainly made of refined grains, supplemented by peach blossoms. It is slightly reddish in color. It is not a famous wine, but the name is novel. It is called Drunk and blushed."

"Drunken face? This name is very interesting." Xuan Ce played with the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile, "This wine is attracted by peach blossoms, which is rare. There is nowhere to look for the return of eternal hatred, and I don't know where to turn it. The peach blossoms outside Although it hasn't sprouted yet, drinking this wine can be regarded as a good spring for the occasion."

The red waist smiled: "Finding a Taoyuan is easy to avoid the Qin Dynasty, and Taohong is another spring. Although the little girl's place is simple, if the general likes it, it is a cheap peach blossom garden. When you are tired, you can rest here. , Find a moment of peace, even if you allow the little girl to repay her kindness."

Seeing her generous words and deeds, Xuan Ce couldn't help admiring, "You are different from ordinary dancers."
