Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 257 Guess who else is coming to my Great Qin?
Guest House.

Dishes were served in a continuous stream.

Zhang Yuan, Xiao Lou, Han Xiao and others sat side by side, with food and wine constantly pouring onto the small table in front of them.

"This River Spring Feast is a special hospitality offering from our Great Wei," said the head of the Wei delegation, smiling as he raised his glass to the Qi envoy, Zhou Jinzhong, who was sitting opposite him. "The dishes flow like a stream, with delicacies from land and sea. I brought all of this with me from the Great Wei."

"Even the chef was brought from Dawei. These dishes are definitely Dawei flavors."

Zhou Jinzhong smiled and nodded, clinking glasses with Sun Jia lightly. Then he glanced across at the other side and said, "Only the meticulous Wei could have such a banquet. Unlike some cruder countries, they only serve roasted meat at banquets."

Sun Jia laughed heartily, his gaze falling on Xiao Lou and Han Xiao.

The two of them didn't look up, just focused on the dishes in front of them.

Zhang Yuan didn't care what the other side said, he just savored these rare Wei dishes.

It’s true that it tastes good, delicate and complex, and it’s incomparable to the cuisine of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, it may also be because Zhang Yuan was in a border county and had never really tasted the food of Daqin.

Seeing that Xiao Lou and the others didn't answer, Sun Jia shook his head and waved his hand.

Several women in plain white dresses came forward.

These women have graceful figures and elegant steps. They walk to the front of the hall, bow their heads slightly, and then dance gently to the rhythm.

The musician beside him played the zither, which was melodious and graceful.

The clothes are thin and the figure is barely visible.

Xiao Lou and Han Xiao looked up at this time, and Zhang Yuan also took a few more glances.

When the song ended, Sun Jia waved his hand and asked the dancing woman to step aside.

"These dancers were originally prepared for the Qin envoys, but since Lord Xiao is the mastermind, forget it."

Sun Jia shook his head, holding the wine glass, and sighed softly: "I heard that Lord Xiao is the son-in-law of the Shangshu family. His family is very strict. What a pity..."

The women on the side all covered their faces and laughed.

Zhou Jinzhong and the other accompanying civil and military officials all laughed out loud on purpose.

Xiao Lou raised his head and looked at the women, examining them carefully.

Those women were not stage-frightened either. They all deliberately had a flickering look in their eyes and their brows showed affection.

Xiao Lou looked at it carefully before shaking his head sadly: "What a pity."

"My good wife at home is very strict."

He was so frank and spoke directly about the family discipline, which surprised Zhang Yuan.

Zhou Jinzhong and Sun Jia were also a little surprised.

They had intentionally used this incident to embarrass Xiao Lou, but they hadn't expected Xiao Lou to be so calm.

As a man, you shouldn't be so indifferent.

Those women deliberately looked regretful, their eyes were full of tears, as if they were extremely regretful.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty’s magic tradition is extremely widespread.

The way these women moved their hands and feet, and the seductive expressions in their eyes and brows clearly revealed their devilish methods.

It is said that there was a woman who practiced magic in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. She used seductive means to captivate people.

Xiao Lou finished the wine in his cup, then looked at the women. The bewildered look on his face disappeared, and he said calmly, "It's because you are unlucky that you can't accept the kindness of a great man like me."

Han Xiao, who was standing by, almost spit out the drink that was about to reach his mouth.

Zhang Yuanben clenched his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

On the opposite side, Zhou Jinzhong and Sun Jia's faces twitched.

The women couldn't hide their surprise, and all their previous seductive glances were gone.

Xiao Lou's face was calm. He raised his wine glass and gestured to the women: "I was not born a Qin man, so I can only serve others with my beauty. It's not your fault."

"My Great Qin has not yet been able to completely destroy Wei Qi, causing you to suffer. This cup of wine, Xiao, is my apology to you on behalf of the Great Qin."

Xiao Lou drank the wine in his glass, then placed the glass on the table and waved his hand towards the women.

"Come on, pour the wine."

The women looked at each other and then turned to look at Sun Jia.

Sun Jia's expression changed and he coughed lightly.

The Wei delegation brought these women who had practiced magic techniques with them to perform seductive acts. How could they be rejected now?

The women suddenly came to their senses, smiled, and gathered around Xiao Lou and Han Xiao to pour them wine.

Xiao Lou and Han Xiao were not polite either. They hugged one of them with one arm each, and no one knew where their hands were going.

Several women responded with sweet smiles and soft refusal, neither approaching nor distancing themselves. Sun Jia on the other side was relatively okay, but the other women's expressions were somewhat grim.

Why are these two Qin people allowed to enjoy such a good life when we are all envoys?

The middle-aged man with a short beard and wearing a martial arts robe sitting next to Sun Jia snorted coldly and was about to speak when he was stopped by Sun Jia's glare.

Sun Jia and Zhou Jinzhong exchanged a glance, then smiled and raised their glasses to Xiao Lou and Han Xiao.

The woman beside Han Xiao and Xiao Lou spoke softly, her glasses full of wine, almost pouring the wine into their mouths.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, seeing that Xiao Lou looked a little drunk, Zhou Jinzhong pretended to be indifferent and said, "Actually, I really didn't expect that it was you, Brother Xiao, who came to Beiyan this time."

"With your talent, status and position, Brother Xiao, you should never be sent as an envoy to Northern Yan."

Zhou Jinzhong's gaze fell on Xiao Lou and he said softly, "Could it be that, Brother Xiao, you've come here on some mission?"

What task?
There was a slight silence in the lobby.

Xiao Lou withdrew his hand and sat up straight.

"You want to get me drunk and then trick me into telling you something?"

"Isn't this trick too vulgar?"

"Who am I, Xiao Lou? How can I be taken down with just this little trick?"

He shook his head and stroked the woman's legs on both sides with his palms.

"You should at least send them to my bed before you get some information."

Zhang Yuan felt that this Lord Xiao was a piece of tough meat.

He seems to be practicing Confucianism, but in fact he is a scoundrel at heart.

Such a person is really suitable to be an envoy.

"But Xiao is in a good mood today, so it's okay to tell you what you want to hear."

Xiao Lou's voice sounded again.

Sun Jia and Zhou Jinzhong both twitched their eyes slightly and put down their wine glasses.

"I met Ouyang Xu in Fengtian County. According to the previous agreement, I took over Fengtian County first and then came here."

"The alliance between Zhenxi Marquis Ouyang Shucai and the Qin Dynasty was no secret. Now we are just following the agreement."

"Are you really here to witness the marriage between Princess Beiyan and the Ouyang family?"

"Then Princess, do you think you can enter the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion?"

Xiao Lou's voice echoed in the lobby.

Zhang Yuan looked up, his expression calm, but when he looked at Xiao Lou, there was a hint of solemnity.

This person's words and actions may seem out of place, but he is really amazing.

Half-truths and half-falsehoods make it impossible to tell the truth from the false.

They came here really to stop the marriage between Princess Beiyan and the Ouyang family.

But how could it be possible that Ouyang Shucai was the one fulfilling the covenant?

But if they succeed in assassinating the Princess of Northern Yan, will anyone believe that this is a conspiracy between the Marquis of Zhenxi and the Qin Dynasty?
What Xiao Lou said today was an open conspiracy!

On the opposite side, Sun Jia, Zhou Jinzhong, and the accompanying ministers from Qi and Wei all had gloomy expressions.

"Haha, Lord Xiao, you are not capable of such a great undertaking with your status," Zhou Jinzhong shook his head and pressed his palm on the table, "Your status is not equal to that of the Marquis of Zhenxi."

"Smart." Xiao Lou stroked his hand and reached out to nod at Zhou Jinzhong, "Brother Zhou is still as smart as ever."

"Guess who else is coming from my Great Qin?"

Zhou Jinzhong frowned, but before he could speak, a loud roar came from afar.

"boom--"

Golden light exploded, and then a sword light flashed into the sky.

"Dragons and snakes rise from the land, Sword Dao Grandmaster Du Chongjiu, you come to my Xichang City, aren't you afraid that I will take your life?"

The rumbling sound was like thunder.

The thundering sound of the great way, the master's method.

Ouyang Shucai, Marquis of Zhenxi.

"Master Du Chongjiu, King Zhao..." Zhou Jinzhong murmured.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked towards the place where the sword light was shining.

Dragons and snakes rise from the land, and the red sky is filled with light.
