Master is not married yet

Chapter 16 Poisonous Wine
The three of us found the place to hold the palace banquet according to the information provided by Cui Jinxuan, probably because they had just had a quarrel, the two senior brothers didn't even want to look at each other all the way, just looked ahead and walked quickly.

I was caught in the middle, and the air was a little stagnant.

The senior brother turned his head to look at me, hesitated and said, "Tudou, I think it's better to forget it, even if what you said is true, if someone accidentally drinks poisoned wine, it's not a joke."

I said, "Then do you have a better way? Hit everyone once? Or are you going to summon a headless female ghost to scare them to death?"

He shut up.

The third senior brother was silent for a moment, and then said, "Although your method is feasible, but the risk is too high, otherwise I'd better invite Master."

I said again, "Third Senior Brother, I don't want to make fun of my life if I can, but Second Senior Brother will be almost dead when Master comes, maybe half of Naihe Bridge is gone, so if you have a better way, please come now." Propose, please be quiet if you don't have a better idea, and don't disturb my thinking."

The third senior brother pursed his lips tightly.

After finishing them off, we walked for a while, and I stopped when I was almost outside the hall, and turned my back to the two of them and the Zhi Liuying in my sleeve and said, "I haven't eaten all day, must I be hungry?"

The paper-tied bird was originally flattened and stuck to my sleeve, but when I heard eating, it suddenly regained my energy, and the whole bird returned to its original three-dimensional shape.

I straightened my train of thought and said to it, "Listen, I'll be there later,"

After talking with Liu Ying, I turned around and continued walking to the place with my two senior brothers, waiting for the guards outside to open the door to the banquet.

As soon as I opened the door, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

The entire palace in front of you is hollowed out, and the bright white moonlight penetrates through the finely decorated skylights, covering the interior of the hall with hazy silver gauze. There are 24 beautifully carved ivory columns on the left and right sides, as high as five floors, and three floors below. They are all made of precious white clams, with vivid historical figures painted on them, as if standing in front of them, with high spirits.

But the bright red wine pool standing in the center is definitely the most eye-catching. The base of the red wine pool is the pattern of the heavenly palace with golden threads. Four golden bridges were built on the top, leading directly to the silver and white lotus flowers in full bloom in the center. Eighteen arhats are carved on the petals of the eighteen lotus flowers.The bright red and silver white, the vulgar and the dead, form a strong contrast.

On the stage, relatives of the emperor, family members, foreign envoys and officials drank and had fun with each other, while the musicians under the stage were beating the war drums together, and the sound of the pipa was endless. The senior brother patted me on the shoulder and motioned me to look at the lotus in the center on the pedestal.

A figure stood in the center, wearing a black robe, wearing a golden beast mask, and holding a sword engraved with Yazi, dancing solo in the moonlight with the sonorous and passionate music, sometimes moving slowly like a light cloud, sometimes like a whirlwind Spinning, the steps are as light as a bird, and the sword is as accurate as a falcon, and the sharp sword edge whizzes along with the dance steps.

"It's big noodles!" I couldn't help exclaiming.

"Ah Jing is good at acting," the elder brother proudly folded his chest and praised, "Compared to the fairy in colorful feathers, he is indeed more suitable to play the role of King of Lanling."

"I have never seen such a cruel fairy, nor have I seen Gao Changgong with such a violent personality," the third senior brother smiled slightly, "but Bai senior brother is really good at dancing."

The two of them froze and looked at each other.

While we were talking, the silk and bamboo had gradually slowed down. With the final drum beat, several maids dressed in flying clothes walked slowly from the Sifang Golden Bridge, and put three golden gourds in front of the second senior brother who had finished dancing.

"Wonderful, wonderful, really worthy of being a famous actress, her figure is comparable to that of Zhao Feiyan from the Han Dynasty," a man in a dark purple official uniform with a jade belt around his waist clapped his hands and said, "But I don't know Bai Yujing, can a man do palm dance?"

Sneering laughter came from the stands, and several eyes were cast on the silent second senior brother.

"Oh, it's Liu who is confused. Today, Bai Yujing danced with big noodles, not neon clothes and feathers. Disrespect and disrespect," he said with a contemptuous smile, "Speaking of big noodles, do you know how Lanling King Gao Changgong died in the end? .”

"Hahahaha, I know! I didn't die from drinking poisonous wine!" One of the men in Chinese clothes on the stage laughed.

"That's right," the man said, "it's just that a certain person won't let Bai Yujing drink poisoned wine for no reason, he is Princess Changning's male favourite, how can he be easily moved?"

The audience roared with laughter, but the second senior brother was wearing a mask now, so he couldn't tell what his expression was.

"It is rumored that Bai Yujing is good at singing and dancing, and there is another special feature, that is, he can neither smell nor taste. Just imagine, how convenient it would be for him to be able to look calm even after entering the abalone camp," he continued. Said, causing everyone at the scene to laugh again.

At this time, another plump and powerful man said impatiently, "Liu Jiulang, after talking for so long, should you explain clearly what you want to do?"

"In the end it's King Ming's magnanimity, so I'll say it clearly," Liu Changshi said, "There are three glasses of wine in front of Bai Yujing, one of which is poisonous wine, and the other two are golden wine, but you can rest assured. The smell of the poisonous wine is strong, even someone can smell the pungent smell from such a long distance, if Bai Yujing is not as special as the rumors, he can easily avoid it."

"What will happen if you drink the poisonous wine?" Duke Ming asked with the corners of his lips curled up.

"The head and feet are holding each other, the seven holes are covered with blood, and they danced wildly until they died," Liu Changshi replied, "He can perform for us before he dies, which is quite suitable for an actor to die."

The people present exclaimed, with endless curiosity in their eyes, and they couldn't bear to urge to start quickly.I felt disgusted by their faces, they didn't want the second senior brother to choose the right wine at all, they just wanted to see his painful reaction to death after drinking the wrong one.

Just like watching a man fight a tiger, what people most want to see is not the mighty and heroic figure of a human being defeated, but the scene of being ruthlessly eaten alive by a tiger.

"Of course, if Bai Yujing can choose correctly three times in a row, I will not treat him badly. In addition to personally proving that the fact that he has no sense of smell and taste is purely false, I will also personally send two mansions in Chang'an City as a gift." Praise," Liu Changshi said, "choose, Bai Yujing."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, and everyone waited with bated breath. Just when I thought it was time to leave, the second senior brother had already knelt down, lifted his mask and quickly picked up one of the glasses of wine and drank it down.

"What!" I whispered.

"Senior Brother Bai has always had a strong self-esteem. After being so humiliated, he will only choose to gamble with fate. If he dies," Third Senior Brother sighed, "It's just that luck is not on his side."

The senior brother glanced at the third senior brother and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that the second senior brother had no special reaction after drinking it all in one gulp, it should be luck that he didn't drink the poisoned wine. I couldn't help but take a long breath, tugged at the sleeves of the two senior brothers, and said to them, "Eldest senior brother, third senior brother, I will ask you to help me later."

During this period, the golden cups in front of the second senior brother were refilled with wine and replaced. Some people showed disappointed and bored faces, while others still had a little hope.He glanced around slowly while wearing a mask, and casually picked up one of them and drank it.

Seeing this, the senior brother was a little anxious, no matter how stiff the atmosphere was just now, he dragged the third senior brother and asked me, "How can we help you?"

This time, the second senior brother in the center was still fine. Everyone present showed impatient expressions and whispered to each other. Some even drank and chatted on their own, and stopped looking at the lotus seat.Liu Changshi's expression was not very good, he darkened his eyes, and signaled the maid to pour out all the wine in the golden bottle and refill it, and the clear wine filled the golden bottle again.

But this time I knew very well that all three were poisoned wine.

When the second senior brother looked down at the three golden cups and was about to pick up one of the wine glasses, I knew that if I didn't make a sound, I would lose my chance——

I shouted, "Bai Lang! Let me go!"

Everyone looked in our direction, including the second brother who froze.

The senior brother hugged me by the waist, turned around, and threw me away like a cannonball from outside the domain, while the third senior brother stepped on the ivory pillar lightly with his toes, and turned into a white crane with a leap in the air, and flew towards the wine pool with light steps Dian sprinted on the surface of the pool, and the falling ripples were like petals, which really attracted the attention of everyone at the scene, so that everyone would not concentrate on me who would end up eating shit later.

Sure enough, I still had some hope for my lightness kung fu, I imagined that I could flutter to the ground, lightly tapping the ground like a fallen leaf.

But in reality, I was still on my face, and slid a few feet forward, and I happened to slide to the front of the desk with three gold cups.

Fortunately, I let the third senior brother divert everyone's attention, otherwise I will lose the little face I have left.

"Potato!?" The second senior brother looked carefully at me who got up, and cried out secretly after finding out that it was me, "And that white crane is Chuchu? What are you doing here?"

"I'm not a potato now, I'm a maid who came to the palace banquet with Princess Bi Luochun of the Alahahaha tribe in Outland," I said, "I came to rescue you with Princess Majestic and the dwarf warrior."
