Turbulent Times Chapter 728: Han Palace Banquet


After entering the Hanwang Mansion, there are bell towers and drum towers on the left and right, and the majestic Hanwang Hall is in front of it, which is located in the center of the Hanwang Mansion. In the plaza covered with gray brick floors, a large avenue was paved in front of the main hall with large stone slabs, reaching the gate of the hall.

The Hall of the King of Han is the most magnificent building in the Palace of the King of Han, with twelve rooms wide and fifteen rooms deep. The most amazing thing is that the roof of the hall adopts a single eaves and four slopes, and the brackets have four eaves. The structure is simple but complex, which is a combination of aesthetics and mechanics.

There are six chairmen at the north end of the spacious hall. Those who can sit in these six seats are all members of the Wang family. The east, west, and south sides are guest seats, and everything is in order.

Although the main hall was full of people at this time, because of the existence of Wang Long, Yang Su, Yu Wenhua and these three heavyweights, everyone was solemn and restrained, they did not dare to make noise, and the atmosphere was restrained and serious.

The chairs in the north are occupied by members of the Wang family, the seats in the east are filled with Yang Su and his generals, as well as his confidant guards, and the west is occupied by Yu Wenhua and his generals and guards. To the south are the local officials and nobles of Taiyuan City.

Although Yang Su and Yu Wenshu were already fighting fiercely, Yang Su and Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help each other to die at this time, but on the surface the two were still talking and laughing happily.

It's just that Yu Wenhua is much different than Yang Su in terms of status and seniority, so he is not qualified to sit alongside him, but because he represents the Yuwen family, Wang's arrangement makes sense.

Under the leadership of Wang Long, they toasted Yang Su three times, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

More than 100 kabuki, led by Wang Yingying, a famous performer in Taiyuan, floated out like butterflies from the back hall gates on both sides, singing and dancing to the melodious sound of drums.

Wang Yingying, the backup dancer, is extraordinarily charming. Against the backdrop of many kabuki, her outstanding and graceful posture can be seen. All the girls sang, she sang and danced gracefully, her voice was sweet, although she was not as charming as the famous prostitutes in the capital, she still had a charming charm, no wonder she became the most popular famous prostitute in Taiyuan.

Seeing the tumbling skirt, fluttering long sleeves, Wang Yingying's melodious singing voice, and the gorgeous dancing posture that can look at Qingcheng and Qingguo again, even Yang Su temporarily focused on her.

At this time, I only listen to Wang Yingying leading the singing: "The rain and dew are fresh in front of the calyx building, and the people of Taiyuan are Taiping. The dragon holds the fire tree with a thousand flames, and the chicken steps on the lotus for a long live spring. The palace plays on the spring platform three to five times, and the rain flows without wind. Jealousy comes. The lights in the north of the state turn to the Thousand Shadow Trees, and Donghua’s Golden Quewan reopens.”

Yang Su's face changed when he heard it, the words in this poem are a bit bold! But he didn't think much of it either.

After the song was over, the lights dimmed, and suddenly a colorful lantern appeared in the hands of the women as if by magic. Everyone can see the patterns out of it, and they are amazed.

When the lights in the hall came back on, all the maikos had exited the hall from the original way.

At this time, there are maids serving delicacies to the table like flowing water, which is another round of excitement.

It was Yang Su's turn to toast to Wang Long, creating another harmonious atmosphere where the guests and host enjoyed themselves.

After drinking for three rounds, 300 guards of the imperial guards wearing battle armor entered from the main hall gate. "Soldier formation", since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there must be performances on the banquet after the victory of the army. Compared with the beautiful maiko just now, it is another full of masculinity, which is also exciting.

After the "soldier dance", Yu Wenhua and his generals led a toast to Wang Long, and it was quite lively again.

After the nobles and officials of Bingzhou came forward to toast Wang Long, Yang Su and Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenhuaji suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Marshal Yang led the army all the way to the north, and defeated the traitor Gao Ying successively. .My Yu Wenhua and the surprise soldiers from Youzhou took the Taiyuan City with the strong cooperation of the Wang family. Of course, it is up to His Majesty to decide who is more meritorious between me and Marshal Yang."

Although Yang Su had heard about Yu Wenhua and this junior for a long time, but at this time, after hearing Yu Wenhua and his brazen words, his brows were still throbbing with anger. Military achievements are not rare nowadays, so I pretended not to hear.

Seeing that Yang Su remained silent, Yu Wenhuaji became more proud and continued to say loudly: "At this grand event tonight, according to our tradition of the Sui Dynasty, martial arts tests are indispensable. I would like to throw bricks to attract jade and send my own guards to accept the challenge." No matter the winner or loser, both parties will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, just to add to the fun."

There was a burst of colorful sounds in the hall.

Under everyone's attention, Yu Wenhua and a thin young guard behind him stood up with a sword in his arms, and came to the front of the hall proudly, looking at Yang Su's side coldly. Refers to Yang Su.

In Yu Wenhuaji's mouth, it seems that anyone can challenge his deadpan guard. In fact, only Yang Su's side is qualified and dares to fight, or Yu Wenhuaji's move itself is to Yang Su's side. provocative.

Yu Wenhuaji provoked again and again, and Yang Su's heart was already aroused. If he hadn't been deeply suspected by Yang Guang now, it wouldn't be right for him to teach Yu Wenhuaji a direct lesson as the commander of countering the rebellion and merging the state. No.

Yang Su snorted coldly, and whispered to a soldier behind him: "Du Feng, you go up and kill him directly."

The guard named Du Feng nodded, and immediately got up and strode into the open space, looking coldly at Yu Wenhuaji's personal guard, with a calm expression and an unfathomable and calm attitude.

At this moment, the hall was completely silent.

That's right, the soldier sent by Yu Wenhuaji was dressed up by Nie Xiaoyu. Seeing Nie Xiaoyu standing there, Du Feng clasped his fists in salute and said, "Please give me your advice."

Nie Xiaoyu returned the gift.

Then the two separated to the left and right.

Du Feng held the sheath with his left hand and raised it forward. With Nie Xiaoyu on his back, he pulled out the thick-backed saber from the sheath, and made a loud sound that shocked the audience.

The difference between the two legs, combined with his majestic figure that is as tall and straight as a pine and cypress, does have an imposing manner that is as immobile as a mountain, standing tall and standing upright. Immediately aroused a burst of applause, adding to its prestige.

Nie Xiaoyu remained expressionless, and slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath.

The people in the hall who knew about weapons all shook their heads, because Nie Xiaoyu's sword was just an ordinary fine steel sword, and it was far inferior to Du Feng's thick-backed sword.

Yu Wenhua and the people on the other side were also stunned. They didn't expect him to use such an ordinary sword blade. They might not be able to stop Du Feng's many knives before they would be chopped off by force.

Nie Xiaoyu, however, ignored the sighs from others towards his long sword, stared at Du Feng strangely, and then wiped the edge of the sword with his fingertips. The tone said: "Please enlighten me."
