Chapter 361 Banquet
On the left side of the entrance, there is a group of 18 women's red halls, all of whom wear low-snail buns, narrow-sleeved tops, tunic skirts, and shawls. They stand in three rows and perform.

Joyful and melodious rhymes echoing throughout the audience are transmitted from konghou, pipa, flute, waist drum, shellfish, etc.

There were more than ten groups of people gathered in the open area of ​​the banquet, and they knew Tuli, Li Shimin, Wang Bo, Fu Qian, etc. and their cronies.

Song Lu also came, talking and laughing with Wang Bo and seven or eight people.But he didn't see Song Yuzhi. I don't know if he didn't come to the banquet to avoid Shen Mu.

Stepping into the back hall, the guards first dispersed to the side, only Ouyang Xiyi, Ke Feng, Chen Changlin and Xu Ziling accompanied Wang Shichong, and greeted the guests one by one under the guidance of Rong Fengxiang.

Whether it was intentional or not, when Shen Mu watched the two brothers Wang Xuanying crowded into the group of Dong Shuni and Rong Jiaojiao to take advantage of the excitement, only Linglongjiao was left by his side.

Linglongjiao stared at Xu Ziling's handsome back, and said in a deep voice: "This person is a first-class expert, where did Mr. Yi invite him out? Why didn't you hear about it beforehand?"

In order to accommodate her delicate and exquisite figure, Shen Mu leaned his head close to her ear and said, "He was played by my brother Xu Ziling Qiao. This is a powerful chess piece, and the girl will understand later."

Or because of Shen Mu's frankness and no concealment, Linglongjiao surprisingly did not move away, but instead met his gaze and said, "Why did you keep such an important matter from us?"

While feasting on the beauty at a close distance, Shen Mu said: "Because we suspect that someone beside Mr. Shang Shu is an inner ghost, does the girl understand?"

Linglongjiao showed a shocked expression, then lowered her head and said softly: "Are you sure I'm not a traitor?"

Shen Mu said softly: "Of course, the girl is beautiful and intelligent, open-minded and bold, she is the kind of person who will never do despicable things."

Linglong Jiaoqiao blushed slightly, and whispered like a gnat: "I'm starting to like you a little bit! If you can go to Manqingyuan less, I'll be more fond of you."

After saying that, he glanced at him before walking towards Wang Shichong.

Shen Mu also wanted to tease this pretty girl from Kucha who had always been cold to him, but she had already gone away.Fu Qian, Xing Mofei and two Tuyuhun beauties greeted him, but he didn't know if Linglongjiao's departure was to avoid them.

Under Fu Qian's introduction, I found out that the taller of the two girls was named Li'an, and the other was named Hua Na.They are all full of exotic style, with a bit of wildness and boldness that is rare for beauties from Middle Earth. When they look at Shen Mu, they are more unscrupulous than when he looks at them.

Especially Hua Na, with her wavy chestnut hair draped over her shoulders so naturally and freely, pink lips, beautiful brown eyes, the corners of which are slanted upwards, paired with high cheekbones, and silky eyebrows , the soft and elastic skin, coupled with the seductive style between the eyebrows, the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes. It is not inferior to the beauties of Shen Luoyan and Song Yuzhi.

Shen Mu didn't know the relationship between the two girls and Fu Qian, so he avoided the provocative eyes of the two girls, and smiled at Fu Qian: "It seems inappropriate to do something tonight!"

Fu Qian scanned the audience, and finally settled on the group of Li Shimin, Tu Li, Wang Shichong, and Rong Fengxiang, and replied casually: "You can do it anywhere, Boss Rong probably won't mind. But I still This is the first time to participate in your Han people's feast, and I don't want to spoil the peaceful and lively atmosphere now."

Shen Mu felt that his casual words seemed to imply something else, and the words contained mystery, and said with a smile: "So if it is on the ring, or in a place where the flames of war are endless, the prince can show his strengths. Right? ?”

Fu Qian smiled slightly, and turned aside: "Who is that person next to Li Shimin who is looking at you?"

Shen Mu looked at it with a wry smile and said, "This man's name is Li Jing, and he is Hong Fu's husband-in-law."

Fu Qian nodded and said: "This person is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he can be seen by Hong Fu Nu, why didn't Hong Fu Nu come?"

Hua Najiao smiled and said, "Why didn't the prince ask him directly? I guess he is coming over!"

Sure enough, Li Jing walked towards them slowly, his steps were steady and powerful, and he seemed to be coming towards them.

Fu Qian praised: "This man can be a great general."

Shen Mu said in astonishment: "Does the prince know just by looking at it? So what about Li Shimin?"

Fu Qian said indifferently: "I am the best at observing people in small ways. He saw that we were talking about him, not only did he not feel uneasy at all, he came to the meeting on his own initiative, and his steps were full of confidence. It can be seen that he is a courageous and promising person , not an ordinary person."

Xing Mofei interrupted and said: "People who Li Shimin is willing to reuse, shouldn't be so bad."

At this time, Li Jing came to the five people and saluted, "Li Jing has met Prince Fuqian."

Then he looked at Shen Mu and said, "Can I take a step and say a few words?"

Fu Qian laughed and said, "Brother Li, can you answer a question for me first?"

Li Jing met Fu Qian's eyes that were as sharp as an arrow without looking sideways, and said calmly, "Prince, please ask me."

Fu Qian looked up to the sky with a long smile, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and then said loudly: "If your lord is lucky enough to win the world, will you show off to the Western Regions and expand the country like Yang Guang's great feats?"

The hall was immediately silent, even the servants who waited on the guests stopped moving, and only the melody was heard, which shows the deterrent effect of these few words.

Shen Mu screamed loudly, even Tuli and Wang Shichong had to listen attentively to see how Li Jing would answer.

This question should have been answered by Li Shimin himself.But the problem is that Li Shimin is not the prince. If he rushes to answer, it will be clear that he will compete with his elder brother Li Jiancheng for the succession to the throne.

Moreover, this also involves Li Shimin's ambitions. It is equally inappropriate for Li Jing to answer or not to answer. If he shrinks his words, it will only make Fu Qian look down on him.

Fu Qian finally made a move to try.

Li Jing smiled calmly and said: "Whoever wins the world should understand that the difference between Han and Hu lies in the differences in regions, habits, and customs, and the facts are the same. The owner only suffers from virtue and does not add to it, and there is no need to be jealous of the different; Gaide Zeqia, then the four barbarians can form a family, there will be a lot of suspicion, and the flesh and blood will inevitably become enemies. Does Prince Fu think so?"

These words were repeated, and everyone listened to them with heartfelt approval.

Fu Qian let out another burst of laughter, and called "Okay" three times in a row, then lowered his voice and said happily to Li Kou and the other two: "You two, please go your own way!"

Shen Mu and Li Jing bypassed the banquet, left the hall through the side door, and came to the stone railing of the veranda next to the hall.

Although the heavy rain stopped this morning, the weather has not improved, and the stars and the moon are dark.Outside the fence is a fish pond piled with fake stone mountains. Peony flowers are planted all over the pond, but they fall due to the heavy rain. The petals float on the surface of the pond and float with the water.

Li Jing said in a deep voice, "Where did Xiaoling go out of the city last night?"

Shen Mu really wanted to ridicule whether he had sent people to monitor the entrances and exits of the city for twelve hours, but remembering that he had been a brother after all, he suppressed his temper and said: "He went to find a friend in a hurry."

Li Jing sighed and said, "Oh! Why did it get to such an unmanageable situation?"

Shen Mu stared at the fish swimming in the pond, and said calmly: "Well said! I had a fight with my sister-in-law's Hongfu last night."

Li Jing was startled, looked at him and said, "What?"

Shen Mu shrugged and said, "Nothing? I won't blame her either. Is this called love for my husband?"

Li Jing was speechless for a long time.

Shen Mu flicked his robe sleeves and walked into the hall.

Just as Shen Mu rushed into the hall, he bumped into a person head-on, and the person grabbed him and said, "I was looking for you!"

Shen Mu couldn't be in the mood to talk with others at this moment, so he said angrily, "What's the matter, brother Hou?"

It was really "Sexy Young Master" Hou Xibai.

Seeing him talking to someone, Li Jing, who had chased after him, sighed and walked away disappointed.

Other guests began to take their seats, only Li Shimin, Wang Shichong and other groups were still chatting and chatting.

Rong Fengxiang exchanged greetings with Fu Qian, and the atmosphere was jubilant and lively.The new guests include Bai Qing'er, Zheng Shuming and Zheng Shiru.

The band paused to play, and the sound of firecrackers, persuasion and banter, and the noise of boys and girls playing were constantly heard from the front two halls and the back garden. Compared with the inner hall, the atmosphere was much more serious.

Hou Xibai pulled Shen Mu to a corner, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ziling? Why doesn't he come to join in the fun?"

Shen Mu said: "Xiaoling couldn't come because he has something to do, what's the matter with you?"

Hou Xibai's handsome eyes glanced at Dong Shuni and Rong Jiaojiao, who were seated side by side.That seat was set by one of the four chairmen of the Central Committee, and it was almost full of people, including the two brothers Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu, who were all younger generations, and everyone rushed to show courteousness to the two women.But the eyes of the two women drifted towards Shen Mu and Hou Xibai from time to time, showing that they were very interested in them.

Hou Xibai said: "Brother Fenghan and Ziling, did they mention to you that I followed the demon girl of the Yin Gui Sect?"

It was only then that Shen Mu remembered what Xu Ziling had said to him, so he pulled himself together and said, "How is it? Who is it?"

Hou Xibai leaned closer and said, "It's that peerless beauty wearing Yunnan batik. She is the only one in the audience wearing this kind of clothes, she is very pushy."

Shen Mu never pays much attention to what clothes a girl wears, he just feels whether she looks good or not by intuition.He frowned and said, "You are an expert on girls, but I don't know anything about it. Can you not be so profound?"

Hou Xibai laughed dumbly and said: "It's inconvenient for me to point her out, because all the young women in the audience are staring at us. The characteristic of batik is that during the process of dipping, the wax corners are cracked, and the dye seeps in along the cracks, resulting in thousands of variations. The ice-fried pattern changes naturally, without a fixed pattern, and the color tone is elegant and varied."

It was only then that Shen Mu realized that Dong Shuni's colorful clothes looked exactly like that, and said in shock, "Didn't you mean that savage girl with blue and red clothes?"

Hou Xibai happily said: "Brother Kou is sure that it is this woman, absolutely unmistakable, who is she?"

Shen Mu took a deep breath and said: "It's not Rong Jiaojiao but her, it's really unexpected, but her lightness skills are indeed very good, but I don't know that she is also proficient in martial arts."

Hou Xibai urged: "Who is she?"

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said, "She is Wang Shichong's niece, but she shouldn't be a witch from the Yingui sect."

I thought to myself that I had a sweet relationship with her.This woman's brilliance is that she thinks she is good at lightness kungfu, but her martial arts is ordinary, but they never doubted her words, because she really has no reason to lie.

Rong Fengxiang's laughter interrupted everyone's conversation, and then he warmly greeted all the guests to sit down.

Bai Qing'er and Zheng Shuming sat across from Shen Mu. They were supposed to be enemies when they met, so they were jealous.But surprisingly, Zheng Shuming only talked and laughed lightly with Bai Qing'er as if he didn't exist.

After everyone sat down, Shen Mu realized that the seat on the right was vacant, and asked the waiter's maid, who only said that she followed the housekeeper's order, and didn't know anything else, which made him puzzled.

After Zheng Shiru had a few perfunctory words with him, he chatted up Hou Xibai and ignored him, and he was so happy that his ears were clear and his eyes wandered around.

At this moment, Rong Fengxiang stood up, raised his glass happily, and said, "Today is the day when someone Rong surrendered fifty years ago. Being honored and favored, I would like to borrow a glass of water and wine to express my gratitude to everyone."

Everyone stood up to pay their respects, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, with the sound of compliments and wine fights.

After a while, everyone sat back in their original positions.

Rong Fengxiang smiled mysteriously and said: "Before the dishes are served on the table, someone Rong will give you a little surprise for the honored guests, please Miss Shang Xiufang."

Amidst the applause from the crowd, the band played vigorously, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Hou Xibai's eyes were even more strange, and he waited intently for the prostitute to perform.

As soon as Shang Xiufang appeared on the stage, beauties like Dong Shuni and Rong Jiaojiao lost a little color.

When it comes to beauty and beauty, all the girls have their own characteristics, it is difficult to judge who is superior, but Shang Xiufang's unique charm and demeanor can compare all the girls.

She is obviously better at sad and lingering ditties, so although she sang happy birthday songs this time, although it is still very good and beautiful, Shen Mu always feels that it is slightly inferior to yesterday's performance in Shangshu's mansion.

But since she spoke, almost everyone in the hall listened mesmerized, Xu Ziling and Shen Mu were the two exceptions.

Both of them were in a mood that resisted joyful tunes.

Xu Ziling took the opportunity to calmly observe the reactions of the chairpersons at the four tables. The one with the most devoted expression was Hou Xibai, who almost looked like he was about to dance to the song.Although Li Shimin and Fu Qian listened attentively, they were still calm and calm.The others were different in form and spirit, but they were all moved by Shang Xiufang's almost fairy-like quyi and graceful dance; Hong Ling swallowed it in one gulp.

Shang Xiufang's soul-stirring pair of water-shearing eyes, matched with the turning of her figure and expression, kept sweeping towards the mat, making the younger generation who were weaker in control even more fascinated.

As soon as the song is over, the applause is like thunder, and the colorful sound is deafening.

When the lingering sound was still lingering, Rong Fengxiang personally left his seat to greet him, and sent Shang Xiufang to the empty seat next to Shen Mu. After all the men stood up to welcome him, Rong Fengxiang gave Shen Mu an ambiguous wink, He said with a smile, "Brother Kou, give this old man a good greeting to Miss Xiufang."

In this way, everyone at the banquet knew that Shang Xiufang was sitting next to Shen Mu, and it was not a random arrangement.

After the introduction, Shang Xiufang sat down, and Rong Fengxiang left.Before Zheng Shiru sat still, he regarded Shen Mu as nothing and praised Shang Xiufang's sexuality non-stop.

Although Hou Xibai looked at Shang Xiufang with a smile on his face, he didn't show any signs of haste, and had an excellent demeanor.

I don't know if this table was arranged intentionally or not, most of them are female guests, only Shen Mu, Zheng Shiru, Hou Xibai and two other sons and brothers from Luoyang's rich and powerful families had to accompany the last table.

Dishes were being served continuously at this time, while the crowds coming in from the front and middle halls to toast kept flowing, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a peak.

Rong Fengxiang had a very good capacity for alcohol, and he would not refuse anyone who came, but occasionally asked everyone at the banquet to drink for him. Of course, the one who drank the most was Wang Shichong beside him.

Xu Ziling saw all the scenes in his eyes, secretly thinking that Rong Fengxiang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he looked a bit like trying to get Wang Shichong drunk.However, Wang Shichong's skills are profound, and he is an old man, so he should have his sense of proportion.

While thinking, Linglongjiao approached him and said, "Why were you so indifferent to Shang Xiufang's singing just now? Do you think she can't sing well, or do you not like music?"

Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had been paying attention to himself, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just prefer to listen to tunes that are sentimental and resentful."

Linglongjiao said with fascination: "The southern moon in Kunlun Mountains is about to slant, and the shepherd blows hujia to the moon. Hujia Qiang flute, the sound is the most mournful. You must listen to it if you have a chance."

Shang Xiufang over there finally found a chance to talk to Shen Mu, and said in a low voice: "I live in Manqingyuan, if you are free tomorrow, can you find some time to meet me? Xiufang will be there the day after tomorrow. Go to Guanzhong!"

Shen Mu didn't expect her to be so fond of him, so he nodded his head slightly, which was regarded as his agreement.

Then he realized that Zheng Shuming and Bai Qing'er were staring at them closely, so he had no choice but to hope that the three women would not hear Shang Xiufang's invitation to him due to the noise of the crowd. He didn't even understand his fear of being known.

At this moment, the door official sang loudly: "The commander of the imperial guards, the general of Youwuhou, Dugufeng, has arrived!"

Everyone was stunned.

Surrounded by four courtiers, Dugu Feng boldly entered the hall and said in a loud voice: "Dugu Feng was ordered by the emperor to come here to celebrate the birthday of the honored boss, and to present a jade tree on behalf of the emperor. "

He turned a blind eye to Wang Shichong, as if Rong Fengxiang was the only one in his eyes.

At this moment of presenting gifts, Li Shimin and other outsiders all avoided the side as usual, and all the subjects under Yang Tong's rule, including Rong Fengxiang, all knelt down to welcome the gifts bestowed by Yang Tong.Only Wang Shichong and his servants were left, not knowing what to do.

In a sense, Wang Shichong still served Yang Tong as the main force, and even forced his troops to force the palace, but he only claimed to capture Yuan Wendu and Lu Da, two courtiers, rather than an open rebellion.

At this critical moment of life and death against Li Mi, if he publicly expresses his true position, his name will be wronged, and he may lose the support of some Luoyang soldiers and civilians, which will be harmful rather than beneficial.

If you want to abolish Yang Tong, you must have a plan first, and you can put it into practice when the time is right, but no matter how you plan now, you will be humiliated.

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong stood up and knelt beside Rong Fengxiang.
