Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 205 Anxi's Change (3)

The late autumn night came early, and it was just the time of day, and the sky was completely dark. It was time to hold the lights, and the whole palace was brightly lit, with countless tallow lamps and candles as thick as arms lit up one after another. , Shengsheng decorated the entire palace brightly and magnificently, which is the style that the royal family should have, but it is not surprising at all. However, the current palace is more noisy and noisy than usual, just because of a grand event. The state banquet was in full swing in the main hall of the palace. Not only was the hall full of dignitaries from all walks of life, but the small square in front of the hall was also full of banquets. There was little singing and dancing in front of the court.

People from the Western Regions have always been good at singing and dancing, especially the Kucha band, the Khotanian dance, and the Loulan girl's singing voice. It would be a great pleasure to gather together. There is such a visual feast that is being performed brilliantly—the Kucha music team is playing hard, and the melodious music is circling the beam three times in the hall. More than a dozen costumed Loulan singers are tactfully singing, and dozens of Khotan dancers are singing. Like the stars arching over the moon, there is a stunning beauty leading the dancer, but the waist of the leading dancer is as soft as water, the eyes are as bright as stars, and the long sleeves are fluttering. Even more beautiful, Shengsheng made all the dignitaries in the palace mesmerized, and the most unbearable one was probably Wang Rizan who sat high on the guest table, staring fixedly at the dancing figure, The corners of the mouth flowed obscenely, giving the image of a hungry ghost.

"Ok, ok, hahaha, ok, ok, ok!"

The singing and dancing were indeed perfect, but there was an end after all. When the crowd was still immersed in the aftertaste, Wang Rizan laughed and shouted repeatedly, but his eyes never left the curling eyes. The retreating figure of the leading dancer beauty, I really don't know whether this guy is praising the singing and dancing or coveting the stunning face of the dancing girl.

"If the general thinks it's good, it's good. Hehe, Xiao Wang, the girl who leads the dance, will send someone to the general's camp in a while. Please don't dislike the general." What is the intention of Rizan's applause, so he said with a smile.

"Hahaha... well, the king is really interesting, the general is not welcome, come, drink, drink!"

Seeing that Fu Jiexiong was so knowledgeable, Wangri Tsan was so excited that he couldn't hold it back. He laughed loudly and picked up the wine bottles in front of him, yelling that he would have a good drink with Fu Jiexiong.

"The general is really good at drinking, and Xiao Wang is far behind."

When Wang Rizan was in a good mood, he took Fu Jiexiong and drank wildly, one bottle after another, and Fu Jiexiong couldn't resist it anymore, so he had to stop the bottle and sue for forgiveness.

"Hahaha... you Khotan people are not good at fighting, you are not good at drinking, you can just sing, dance and dance, that's all, I don't drink, I'm on duty, the general is on duty, let's go." Wang Rizan didn't care much Xiong, once he drank the wine, his words became unrestrained, and because he remembered the beauty who led the dance, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he laughed and stretched, and planned to leave now. As soon as he stood up, all the Tubo generals in the hall who were drinking to their heart's content had to get up in dismay, and it seemed that the banquet was coming to an end.

"Wait a minute, general. Xiao Wang still has a big play to dedicate to the general. It is a spectacle that the general has never heard of and has never seen before in safekeeping." Fu Jiaxiong with ulterior motives refused to let Wang Rizan leave like this, so he stretched out his hand with a smile With a stop, he said with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Oh? That's good, the general can just take a look."

Seeing Fu Jiexiong's words so mysterious, Wang Rizan really became interested, rolled his eyes, smiled, and sat back to his original position.

"Clap clap."

Fu Jiaxiong didn't talk too much nonsense, just slapped his palms lightly twice, and soon saw an old man in Tsing Yi walking into the hall with a smile on his face, bowing to everyone gracefully, without opening his mouth, just holding his hands together with a smile Turning over, two birds suddenly appeared on the palms that were originally empty, and as soon as the hands were released, the two birds were already hovering in the hall. Immediately afterwards, the old man kept turning his palms, one after another. Birds kept flashing in his palm, and in an instant, dozens of birds were whirling and chirping all over the hall, while the old man kept turning his hands, and then pots of blooming flowers appeared in his palm, A waiter by the side placed the flower pots all over the floor.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, this, this is actually true, fairy art, it's fairy art."

Although juggling is a small way, it is quite popular in the Central Plains, and occasionally in the Western Regions, but for the Tubo generals from the bitter cold land, it is an extremely magical thing. Wang Rizan was still there. I suspected it was an illusion, but after I caught a bird with my own hands and touched the blooming flowers with my own hands, I was immediately shocked, murmured in surprise, and blinked vigorously. I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. Magical scene.

The old man ignored Wang Rizan's surprise, clapped his hands lightly, and saw several eunuchs carrying a large cabinet into the main hall, put the cabinet beside the old man, and then bowed and retreated. The old man opened the cabinet with a smile He took off a piece of cloth on the big cabinet, revealing the empty space inside, then bowed to Fu Jaxiong and Wang Rizan each, and spoke in Chinese.

"My lord, what is this fairy elder talking about?"

Although Wang Rizan is now a high-ranking official of the head of ten thousand households, but his background is just an ordinary aristocrat, a new noble who has only been promoted by military exploits, he is not proficient in Chinese like ordinary Tubo high-ranking officials, and he cannot understand the old man in Tsing Yi. Words, hurriedly asked Fu Jiaxiong.

"The old fairy said that he can turn people into nothing with this magical box, and he can change them back out of nothing. I want to invite Xiao Wang and the general to be witnesses. I don't know what the general wants?" Xiong smiled and explained in Tubo dialect.

"There is such a thing, well, this general will play with the lord."

Wang Rizan was already intrigued by the miraculous performance of the old man in Tsing Yi, so he never said goodbye, stood up enthusiastically, ran to the box, sized it up curiously, and then reached out to grope inside the box After a while, he didn't find anything wrong, and he wanted to get into the box by himself, but he was worried about accidents, so he rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, you should come first, the general will do it." Just a testimony."

"Okay, Xiao Wang, come and try."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Jiaxiong agreed, bent his waist, raised his foot and stepped into the open cabinet. Soon after seeing the old man in green wave his hand, the curtain was put down, and then muttered something in his mouth. After a while, he gestured to the big cabinet a few times with his fingers like a sword, and then he lifted the curtain with a smile, only to find that the big cabinet was empty, and Fu Jiaxiong had really disappeared. Seeing this, all the people in the hall exclaimed. For a while, the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market, but the old man ignored everyone's surprise and reached out to scan the cabinet to show that there was no one there. Put down the curtain again, and said a few words to Wang Rizan in Chinese.

"The old fairy said that in today's world, only the general can call the lord back. As long as the general pulls back the curtain with his own hands, the lord can be seen appearing inside."

Just when Wang Rizan was at a loss, a Tubo general who knew Chinese rushed over and explained in a low voice.

"Is there such a thing? Ha, well, the general will try his best."

Wang Rizan was in a state of excitement at the moment, so he didn't think about it too much. He laughed and walked to the big cabinet, stretched out his big hand, and opened the curtain. Just looking at it, he immediately found that there was someone inside, but it was not Fuja. Xiong, but Luo Tong holding a horizontal knife!
"Have……"

Wang Rizan is a brave soldier who has experienced many battles, and his reaction is amazingly fast. He was just a little dazed, and he realized that something was wrong. Shouting to warn, it's a pity that he was faster and Luo Tong was faster. Before Wang Rizan's body unfolded, he saw Luo Tong stepping out of the big cabinet, and when he turned around, the horizontal knife in his hand had already been chopped out. Flashed like a rainbow, Wang Rizan froze in an instant when he jumped up, and stopped halfway through his shouting. Dou Da's head had rolled to the ground, and a large stream of dirty blood gushed out from the cut of the neck, splattering everywhere like fireworks blooming.

"There are assassins!"

"He killed the general, beheaded him!"

"kill!"

A group of Tubo generals were all figures rolled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Although they were a little panicked when they were suddenly attacked, they quickly came back to their senses. Weapons, but these extremely brave generals did not have the slightest fear, they either rushed on empty-handed, or grabbed a few pieces and rushed out, all of them killed Luo Tong desperately, and at the same time, The ordinary Tubo officers who participated in the banquet outside also sensed something was wrong, got up in disorder and rushed to the main hall.

"kill!"

The reaction of the Tubo people was extremely quick, but it is a pity that in the face of the meticulous plot, such bravery is nothing but futile. Under Fu Yuxiong's personal command, the soldiers rushed out from both sides of the main hall, chopping down the unsuspecting Tubo people one by one like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

The battle in the palace was extremely short, the two sides were not on the same starting line at all, all the unlucky Tibetans were beheaded on the spot, and no one could escape. The Tubo barracks launched a surprise attack, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Tubo army was leaderless, they beheaded five thousand Tubo elites. Since the launch of Luotong, the battle in the whole city only took half an hour. end.

In a big courtyard in the south of Khotan City, Luo Tong, who is still in blood, and Su Da, who is like a smiling Buddha, stand side by side in the courtyard. Several men in black walked up to them holding bird cages. Then, Luo Tong personally tied the small brass pipes to the bird's feet. After a few moments, there was a sound of flapping wings, and several eagles soared into the sky, braving the night and spreading their wings in different directions. flew away.

"Your Highness, don't blame me when you come back. Fatty Su made the decision and has nothing to do with me."

Looking at the heroic figure of the eagle soaring into the sky, Luo Tong clasped his palms together as if praying, but what he was chanting was not the case at all.

"Nonsense, you agreed first, it has nothing to do with Su!"

As soon as Luo Tong's words came out, Su Da immediately jumped up like a tabby cat whose tail was trampled on, and pointed at Luo Tong angrily, accusing him unceremoniously.

"Nonsense, you agreed."

"You're just talking nonsense, it's you, it's you!"

The two high-ranking officials, one fat and one thin, started arguing like children, and the black-clothed subordinates were dumbfounded by their reluctance...
