Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 5 Two birds with one stone

The soft sound of the pipa on the banquet suddenly turned into a fierce guqin, and a group of dancers filed in, dancing gracefully and gracefully. Layers of skirts spread out like petals, and quickly became a beautiful scenery in the center of the banquet.

The leading dancer was lightly covered with a veil, wearing a tube top red flowing gold dance skirt, revealing a large snow-white chest, and she wore a few strings of silver bells on her wrists, which made crisp sounds from time to time as she danced, which was very attractive.

The person in the second seat on the right suddenly got up, it was Yu Min, the deputy envoy of the General Administration, first he motioned to the maid beside him to hand the white jade cup full of fine wine on the small table to the lead dancer, and then turned to the first seat on the right of the banquet, the whole picture The face is full of smiles.

"Master Hou——this woman is the most beautiful dancer of the Di tribe, and she is my goddaughter accepted by Mrs. Yu." Yu Min paused, and he raised his eyes to see that there was no displeasure on Xie Jinghuai's face, and his heart was tense. A string loosened a little, and he quickly lowered his eyes again.

"This little girl has always admired Lord Hou's youthful fame. Now that Lord Hou has returned from victory, she has to volunteer to perform a dance in front of you. The lower officials have the guts to ask her to offer a glass of wine as a token of respect for you."

The people in the seat clapped their hands and booed, and laughed endlessly.

The dancer's eyes fell on Xie Jinghuai. The man was as rumored in the outside world. He was extremely handsome, with broad shoulders and long legs. Anyone who saw it would only find it pleasing to the eye.

Xie Jinghuai rested his left elbow on the armrest of the sandalwood chair, and his right hand lazily pointed at the table. His voice was not loud, but it had a good penetrating power, "Come here——"

Can't hear any emotional ups and downs, but it still stirred up a layer of waves at the banquet. Everyone was waiting to see the scene where falling flowers have intentions, and flowing water has affection. Everyone stretched their necks long, for fear of missing a few people on the field. move.

The dancer girl bit her red lips hidden under the veil, as if she had made up her mind, she walked up to Xie Jinghuai step by step.

Jiang Chenqi watched the excitement with great interest, her position was excellent, she was directly opposite Xie Jinghuai, at this moment the dancer turned her back to her, it seemed that out of her daughter's reservedness, she was not very close to Xie Jinghuai, but closer to her.

"What's your name?" Xie Jinghuai asked casually.

"The servant's name is Hua Ruo."

"Hua Ruo... He Bi Nong, Hua Ruo Tao Li." Xie Jinghuai finally smiled, "It's a beautiful name."

When everyone heard it, they thought it was funny. When had they ever heard Marquis Mingying praise someone like this.

But immediately afterwards, Xie Jinghuai changed the subject sharply, "I'll take the wine, you should leave first."

While talking, he also gestured for her to put the wine glass on the small table with his eyes.Hua Ruo froze in place, and almost crushed the cup when she realized it, so she could only slowly step forward and put the cup down.

However, the moment she turned around, in a flash, she pulled out a dagger from her waist, and stabbed straight at Jiang Chenqi behind her.

Even though Jiang Chenqi was excellent in martial arts, she couldn't react immediately before such a quick change. Seeing that the dagger was about to cut through her skirt, there was a crisp sound and the wine spilled all over her body.

The white jade cup was torn apart on the ground, the dancer's dagger was smashed to one side, Jiang Chenqi flew back a few meters, and the silver whip was rolled up on the table. Divided.

Immediately afterwards, the silver whip swung forward, and the solid wooden table fell on the dancer girl like a heavy mountain, and she flew out of the air for more than ten feet.

"Bang—" The jade cups and silver plates that were full of banquets, delicacies and wines were knocked over, and they were all messed up in an instant.

"Ah—someone! There are assassins!"

The guests at the banquet were panic-stricken, and the officials and women backed away again and again. Yu Min's face was pale and pale, and he immediately gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision.

"Come here! This woman dared to secretly hurt Commander Jiang, and she will be detained for punishment!"

After all, the servants swarmed forward as if they had been prepared, but before they could reach the dancer girl, they were forced to stop by a long sword that was unsheathed and hovering.

Yue Xuan had returned to Jiang Chenqi's side at some point, he was standing behind, the scabbard in his hand was self-evident.

Jiang Chenqi put away her long whip, casually tore off a piece of colored satin from a tree, and waved her hand, the eye-catching cloth just covered Hua Ruo's body, covering the bare skin of the dancing girl.

Jiang Chenqi walked towards her position. Under such circumstances, her movements were not in a hurry, and her expression was not even the slightest bit annoyed, which gave everyone a sense of slowness.

Yu Min swallowed nervously, forced his face to remain calm, and said, "Commander Jiang is not injured, is he? Someone is coming to help the distinguished guest to rest in the main hall, and arrest this assassin!"

"Master Yu—" Jiang Chenqi finally gave him a look, "I didn't know that the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple is already in the hands of Sir Yu."

"This—" Yu Min was speechless, and after his complexion changed, he finally signaled Xu Zhen to speak with his eyes.

Xu Yu stood by and watched the excitement for a long time, and then remembered that the assassination happened in her own courtyard. If Jiang Chenqi insisted on being held accountable, he might not be able to get rid of the responsibility, so it's better to follow the plan, if it happens...

"Oh, oh, Master Yu is right, come..."

In the middle of speaking, Jiang Chenqi directly raised her hand to interrupt him, regardless of the unpredictable expressions of the people behind her when they were silent.

"Why are you killing me?"

Jiang Chenqi stopped in front of the dancer, as if she was really curious about this question.

"Like you, ahem—a treacherous official who everyone gets and punishes, what reason do you have to kill you?"

"Really?" Jiang Chenqi asked casually, raised her eyes and swept across the banquet, only to see that everyone was silent, panting in panic and staggering slightly, only the person on the right seat was still sitting peacefully, with one hand resting on his head. It looks like a good show.

"..."

It was obviously a dance for Xie Jinghuai, and every sentence was centered around this person, who would have thought that Jiang Chenqi, who was waiting to watch the excitement, would instead become the center of the excitement.

"It's just nonsense, who doesn't call me a good minister among the dignitaries present?" Jiang Chenqi raised her eyebrows, and said condescendingly to the dancer with a smile.

Yue Xuan listened from afar, and swallowed guiltyly, who said women would want more face?As soon as the commander said this, even one of his confidantes couldn't agree with him.If it weren't for the shining silver whip on her waist, one or two of the guests present would have rolled their eyes.

"You!" the dancer was anxious, and she unconsciously tightened her ten fingers on the ground. She said bitterly, "How many innocent people have you killed since you took charge of the Bei Ya? ..."

Her voice stopped abruptly with an arrow piercing her white neck, blood flowed all over the ground in a blink of an eye, Jiang Chenqi's expression was gloomy, and she looked in the direction of the arrow from afar.

"Ah-dead...dead!"

Some officials who were close to him reacted, backed up a few steps in panic, and turned their heads to leave this place of right and wrong.Before he could run a few steps, several more arrows were shot from the top of the wall. Fortunately, someone around him helped him, so he was not shot.

The table was already a mess, and in the blink of an eye, the sword energy was in front of her, Jiang Chenqi turned her head to avoid it, and the cold light of the sword reflected her profile.

Dozens of black-clothed assassins came from all directions, pressing with swords and swords, and made a deadly move.Yue Xuan kicked the two from behind, and pierced the chest of one of them with the long sword in his hand. The moment the figures intersected, Jiang Chenqi heard him whisper, "The second room in the south is different."

With a clear understanding, the assassins on the left and right were stopped by Yue Xuan, Jiang Chenqi took advantage of the opportunity to leap into the air and step on the treetops, and roughly saw the layout of the Shaoqing's residence.Then he drew out the silver whip and swung all the silk and satin off the tree, the colorful cloth dazzled the assassin's eyes, and when he regained his composure, the man covered in crow blue had disappeared.

Jiang Chenqi felt that something was wrong since she stepped into Shaoqing's mansion. She thought that Xu Yu had sincere friendship with Master Yao, and maybe there was a more comprehensive way to protect Master Yao's family.But there are many strange things in the temptation, Xu Yu and Yu Min are probably colluding secretly, not only will Yao Lixing not be able to reverse the case, but she will not be able to get out of this door today.

It's like killing two birds with one stone, Jiang Chenqi hid behind the rockery, frowned and looked at the room Yue Xuan mentioned,
