Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 478: “Friends” at the dance party

Zhao Mu patted the drum at his hand again.

Hear this "dong dong" drum sound. No one knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Even Hongluan is the same.

Zhao Mu was taught by Zhao Ji, not only chess, calligraphy and painting, but also general drumming. And this barefoot, emanating drumming dance with them has happened before.

But now that a distinguished guest is coming, he behaves in such an inelegant and disrespectful manner, which is not like his character.

Zhao Mu looked at Yelu Yanxiu at this time and said, "Your Highness, Princess, does she know where the dance between me and the Hongluan girl just now came from?"

Yelu Yanxiu is also used to seeing palace music and dance. She said: "It is the 'Hu Xuan Dance' inherited from the barbarians in the Western Regions."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, that's right. It's the Hu Xuan dance. In the past, Anlu Mountain was dedicated to this dance in front of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After he returned to the fiefdom, it was convenient for Yuyang to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Empire was severely damaged."

After hearing Zhao Mu's words, Mei Jian, Ju Jian, Cong Long Xuan, Hong Luan and others all looked confused.

Hongluan thought to himself: "The former Tang Dynasty is indeed all-encompassing. Many dance styles today are inherited from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The colorful and feathered dances danced on weekdays were created by Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. But why did the prince suddenly mention that Tang Dynasty? Xuanzong?"

But as smart as Yelu Yanxiu, he immediately understood the implication. Then Yelu Yanxiu couldn't help but frown.

But the glory of the Tang Dynasty flourished and then declined.

Then she stood up in the middle of the field and took a dancing pose.

And Zhao Mu also held the drum in his hand.

He greeted Yelu Yanxiu with this Hu Xuan dance today, which means that Yelu Yanxiu's recent behavior in the capital is nothing more than An Lushan performing a dance in front of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty before his rebellion.

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Okay!" Then Zhao Mu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get out of the way.

What Zhao Mu is talking about is an allusion to the "Anshi Rebellion".

Yelu Yanxiu sneered and said, "'It's a common sight in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang has heard of it several times.' Since His Highness King Qi is so elegant, the little girl should accompany him!"

Seeing Yelu Yanxiu's frown, Zhao Mu also smiled slightly. He asked: "I just wonder if Your Highness the Princess would be willing to dance with me?"

Although they didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Mu's words.

In the past, there was the rule of Zhenguan before the Tang Dynasty, and then there was the prosperous Kaiyuan era. The power of the Tang Dynasty also reached its peak in the hands of Tang Xuanzong.

In his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty doted on Concubine Yang Guifei, and favored his minister Yang Guozhong. And the ambitious An Lushan. The Anshi Rebellion was also initiated in Yuyang, which is now Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao clan falsely claimed to be descendants of Han Emperor Gaozu, while the state claimed to inherit the prosperous Tang Dynasty and regarded the Song Dynasty as a separatist regime. Naturally, he has a very good understanding of the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Yelu Yanxiu took off his coat and handed it to the accompanying maid.

When Zhao Mu saw that Yelu Yanxiu was ready, he personally played the drum for him.

As Zhao Mu's drum beat sounded, Yelu Yanxiu also began to twist her body. The other musicians also followed Zhao Mu's drum beat and accompanied the Khitan princess' dance in an orderly manner.

Mei Jian, Ju Jian, Cong Long Xuan, and Hong Luan stood aside and were really dumbfounded. They didn't know what was wrong with these two people. After Yelu Yanxiu completely let go, Zhao Mu also joined her dance steps with a drum in hand, and the two of them seemed to be apart, still and still moving. There is both murderous intent and peace between the brows.

Seeing the two of them dancing, Long Xuan asked Hong Luan who was beside him: "Hong'er, how do you think this Khitan princess dances?"

As a dancer, Hongluan could already see the tit-for-tat between the two from their tense dance, and she could also hear Zhao Mu's state of mind from his drum beats.

Hong Luan woke up after hearing Cong Long Xuan's words and said: "Her dancing is average. Far inferior to us court musicians. But the prince and Princess Yelu are not just dancing."

Cong Longxuan murmured and asked: "Ah? Then what are they doing? Are they talking about love? But it's not to blame His Highness King Qi, this Khitan princess is indeed iconic. These touching peach blossom eyes, she is a Men just love it.”

Faced with Cong Longxuan's evaluation, Hong Luan just smiled and shook his head.

Although in the eyes of everyone, the two were singing and dancing indulgently, in Hong Luan's eyes, the two were now no less than fighting on the battlefield. Such is the case with "Dance Fighting".

However, Zhao Mu's drumbeats were getting faster and faster, and although Yelu Yanxiu had dancing skills, as a princess, she was not as good as a professional dancer. Soon Yelu Yanxiu was "lost" to Zhao Mu. Both of them were turning their bodies, and when the last drum beat fell, Yelu Yanxiu could barely stand still. But Zhao Mu stood firmly on the spot.

Everyone was still a little at a loss, but Hong Luan smiled and applauded Zhao Mu.

Yelu Yanxiu made the last movement. She was panting heavily and her body was covered with sweat. Her cheeks were even slightly red.

Yelu Yanxiu stood up straight, took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi is really powerful."

At this time, Zhao Mu handed the drum in his hand to Hong Luan. He winked at Ju Jian, who also came forward to re-tie his hair.

Zhao Mu looked at Yelu Yanxiu and said, "Haha, each other. As long as Her Royal Highness knows that in the face of absolute strength, any tricks are just trivial tricks."

Yelu Yanxiu wiped the sweat from his temples, and then said, "Can't His Highness King Qi let us go?"

Zhao Mu sneered and said, "Did An Lushan let Datang go?"

Yelu Yanxiu smiled bitterly and said: "I understand! However, I still hope that our two countries can end the war and reconcile. Now among the ministers of the Song Dynasty, His Highness King Qi is the leader. If His Highness King Qi is willing to say one more word, then there will be a conflict between Song and Liao. We can still coexist peacefully. Although the powerful Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, it was still empty because of its military aggression. "

Zhao Mu, however, ignored Yelu Yanxiu and said, "Your Highness the Princess is a good dancer. How about the King of Japan invites you to dance at the market in Bianjing City?"

Yelu Yanxiu said with a gloomy face: "His Royal Highness King Qi is also a good dancer. I would also like to invite His Highness King Qi to dance in our Shangjing someday. What do you think of His Highness King Qi?"

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, if the Liao Kingdom can invite me, then I don't mind going there. However, I feel that it would be better for the princess to come to Bianjing of the Song Dynasty. My palace is It’s big enough. It can also accommodate Her Royal Highness’s brothers, aunts, and sisters.”

Yelu Yanxiu snorted coldly and said, "Okay! Then I, my brother, sister-in-law, aunt, and sisters will be waiting for the arrival of His Highness King Qi!"

Facing these two people who were playing riddles, Cong Long Xuan, Mei Jian, and Ju Jian were still confused.

Yelu Yanxiu waved at this time, and the maid beside her put her robe back on.

After putting on his robe, Yelu Yanxiu said: "Since His Highness King Qi has accepted my daughter's gift, my visit can be considered over. Farewell! I hope that the next time I see His Highness King Qi, it will be at the market where I go to Beijing. superior!"

Zhao Mu also smiled and said: "Haha, it must be at the market. At that time, I will perform another Bayu dance for Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
