world festival

In the Minglun Hall, it was already one o'clock, the banquet between Dong Chang and his favorite ministers had reached its climax, and everyone at the banquet was already a little drunk. Under the reflection, the light veil on the dancer's body flutters, translucent, and the graceful body is almost ready to be seen, almost naked. Under the charm of the dancer's lewd smile and intoxicated by the sound of musicians' pianos, this A banquet has turned into unrestrained drinking.

In the spacious Minglun hall, five tables form a "ji" shape. Dong Chang and his cronies are sitting in front of the tables. The closest to him is Tangjiu, who escaped alone in the first battle of Shishan. When he just fled back, Dong Changhai was so angry that he wanted to hack him to death, but soon Tangjiu regained Dong Chang's favor through begging and flattery, and within a month, he restored Dong Chang's trust in him. , and now he is whispering something in Dong Chang's ear. Through Dong Changzheng's loud laughter, it can be seen that his words made Dong Chang very happy.

Qian Miao's old boss, the former king of Yue who had just been deprived of all his titles by the imperial court, was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, leaning on the two concubines, listening to the flattery of his cronies, and drinking heavily The concubine Ji brought the fine wine to his lips, and judging from the laughter he gave out from time to time, the warlord looked very happy, and the anger and fear of killing the maid just now seemed to have disappeared from him.

But careful observers can easily see that fear and worry still left obvious traces on his body.In less than a year since he claimed to be the Queen of Yue, he has aged a lot and has become more and more terrifying. His once mighty black face has now become pale and fat. A year ago, it was only gray hair. , was now quite white, and his whole countenance was stamped with weariness and pain, the result of long periods of drunkenness and sensuality.

"Just now I received a report from Yang Xingmi's messenger. Five days ago, Yang Xingmi led the Huainan army to cross the river southward. At this time, the vanguard may have already arrived at the city of Suzhou. Qian Miao is about to retreat. You can regain your honor. At that time, there will be no crows chattering here. Let the king drink a glass of congratulations first." Tangjiu stood up, holding a glass of fine wine with both hands, and after he finished his congratulatory speech, he brought it to Dong Chang.After hearing this, Dong Chang became more and more happy, and drank all the fine wine in his glass.Everyone also congratulated in unison, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm for a while.

Suddenly there was a quarrel in the hall, it seemed that the guards did not let anyone in, and they clashed with the visitors, and suddenly a very dignified voice said: "I have a very important military report to my father, it is urgent, and I know you It's because of my duties, I can't make things difficult for you, I'll go in alone, and leave my weapons with you, I don't know if that's okay."

It was quiet outside for a while, and the clang of armor came up with the sound of footsteps. Presumably the identity of the person coming was very important, so the sentinel let him come up.I saw a high-spirited man with a face similar to Dong Chang's. His body was burly and his armor was covered with mud and dried blood. , with sunken cheeks, as if he hadn't had a good rest for several days, it is Dong Chang's son, Dong Zhen who is bravely crowned in Yuezhou.

When Dong Zhen came to the hall, he frowned immediately when he saw a group of people who were drinking wildly, but he didn't say anything, he strode up to Dong Chang who was at the top, bowed and said: "Baby armor I am still alive, so I can’t give you a big gift, please forgive my father.”

Dong Chang was already drunk at this time, Dong Zhen's deep voice echoed in the hall, the musicians who were playing music at the side also stopped consciously, and the dancers also retreated to the sides, and the laughter of the guests It was also replaced by silence. The sudden change in the atmosphere in the hall made Dong Chang seem to feel something. He wanted to stand up from the concubine Ji's arms behind him to see what happened, but the drinking for nearly three hours seemed like Like a strong adhesive, his body
