Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

After disposing of the prisoners of war, Xiong Lu and all the soldiers rewarded the Qin soldiers who came to help the battle in Ludi. They held a banquet for seven days, and the army and the people celebrated together. They took out all the grain in the granary and distributed it to the affected people.Seven days later, the Chu army returned to court.

It was a sunny day when we returned to Yingdu, the weather was slightly cool, and the outside of Yingdu city was covered with fallen leaves.Xiong Lu let out a sigh of relief, and could actually see a faint white mist.He opened the bamboo curtain, and the yellow leaves were everywhere. It turned out that autumn was already deep.

Before entering the city, I heard the voices of people in the city.Chariots and horses entered through the city gate, and the cheers almost knocked them to the ground.Everyone in Yingdu City had an excited expression on their faces, holding flowers and fruits in their hands, and when they saw soldiers who were pleasing to the eye, they threw them at them to show their love.Naturally, they didn't dare to smash King Chu's car, for fear of disturbing the king, but the guards in front of and behind his car got a bag full of fruits and flowers.What flowers can there be in late autumn?Xiong Lu took a closer look, um...it really was a chrysanthemum.

Most of the army stayed outside the city, and the imperial guards followed him to the Chu Palace.Before the gate of the palace was opened, a strong young man rushed to his car, opened the curtain and got in, but the guards didn't have time to stop him.That man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his reddish hair tied up casually, and wearing a black military uniform, was exactly Zi Fan.When he saw Xiong Lu, his eyes were red, and he threw himself into his arms and began to cry: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Brother, you have been away for so long, I am so worried in the palace. I can fight, why are you so cruel to leave me in Yingdu, woo woo woo..."

Xiong Lu had black hair, and he was almost defeated by him. The child cried whenever he wanted to, like a big river bursting its banks.Xiong Lu looked at the front of his clothes and worried, probably had to change clothes again.He patted his back and comforted him: "Didn't my brother come back? Before departure, I saw that Yin Zhan's hexagram was auspicious. How can something happen to my brother? You are only sixteen, and you are not sensible enough. Respect your son more." Brother learn to learn, if you like to fight, when you turn eighteen, brother will take you there."

After getting the answer from Xiong Lu, he raised his head and asked, "Really?"

Xionglu nodded: "Naturally."

Zifan wiped away his tears, laughed for a while, held his hand, and said, "Congratulations, welcome brother back to Chu Palace. Brother Zizhong and old man Pan are waiting inside. When I heard that the Chu army was defeated in the palace, I was anxious at first." It's too bad, after hearing about my brother's majesty, I was so impressed."

He pulled the couple of bears out of the chariot and got on the chariot.Walking through the long palace road, there is a flat square in front and the main hall behind.He got off the chariot, and all the courtiers who failed to participate in the battle were waiting here. When they saw him coming, they knelt down and saluted: "Congratulations to the king for returning to the palace, congratulations to the king on his return from victory, and praise our great Chu country!"

The words of the courtiers echoed in his ears, and at that moment, Xiong Lu almost shed tears.The hard work of the soldiers was not in vain, and Chu State was victorious.The state of Chu, which repelled the foreign enemies, has regained its freedom. From now on, as long as he sits in this position for one more day, he will try his best to make the people of the country happy.

Pan Chongdao: "Your Majesty, since you have returned from victory this time, we will hold a sacrifice tonight according to ancient rituals, to thank the gods and ancestors for their protection, and pay homage to the dead soldiers."

Guan Fuxiu waited quietly, Xiong Lu looked at him, and said: "The sacrificial matter has always been presided over by Guan Bu Yin, this time it will also be handled by Guan Bu Yin."

Guan Fuxiu bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After bathing and changing clothes in the bedroom, he changed into pajamas and lay down to rest.The banquet will start at noon today and will continue until midnight.When the sun sets and the priests appear, everyone will go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the dead, celebrate the victory of the war with the fallen soldiers, and thank the gods and ancestors for their protection.

He doesn't have to go to the banquet, but he must go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the dead.In this era, what he was most afraid of was riding in a carriage. The carriage swayed violently along the way, making him dizzy.He was so exhausted now that he just wanted to lie down and rest.He tightened the quilt on his body and fell into a deep sleep.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The sound of the bell rang in his ears, "It's getting late, doesn't Your Majesty want to watch Bu Yin dance today?"

Hearing this, Xiong Lu regained his energy, rubbed his eyes, and looked towards the bed.Youmeng was wearing a rare formal black suit, ringing a bell in his ear, smiling slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.He had forgotten that Youmeng was regarded as a close servant, someone who could serve him.Therefore, he didn't need to report specifically when he came in.

Xiong Lu propped himself up and looked out of the window, the sky was covered with red clouds, it turned out that it was already so late, and he had slept all afternoon.

"Ameng, why are you here?"

You Mengnu pursed his lips, looked at the palace people outside the door, and said: "They dare not ask the king to get up, so please ask Ameng to come here."

Xiong Lu got up, and You Meng hurriedly put on clothes for him, fastened his clothes belt, and babbled, "Your Majesty must take You Meng to the ancestral temple, so that Ameng can sit in the front seat. Ameng is looking forward to watching the divination Yin has been looking forward to the dance of offering sacrifices to the gods for a long time, and he has to find a good place to watch whatever he says..."

Xiong Lu was distracted by what he said, and he repeatedly remembered the scene when Guan Fuxiu was injured by an arrow and trembling slightly in his arms that day.You Meng said that Guan Fuxiu danced beautifully, and he had never seen it before.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your hair hasn't been tied yet!"

Xiong Lu came back to his senses, only to realize that he couldn't help but walked out of the bedroom.He stopped in embarrassment, You Meng covered his mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty, Ah Meng will tie your hair for you."

As night fell, Xiong Lu came to the ancestral temple. At this time, outside the main hall of the ancestral temple, seats had already been placed, waiting for everyone to come.He sat on the high position closest to the sacrificial altar, and the seats of the rest of the officials were scattered on both sides.The torches were lit one by one, and the entire temple was shrouded in pale golden light.Girls from the ancestral temple came to the seat one after another to make arrangements, welcome the guests, and serve delicious food.The military flag with the word "Chu" fluttering in the night wind, representing the dead soldiers.The broken halberd was thrown into the fire and went underground with the undead.

The first sacrifice was presided over by Guiyin Pengsheng.He threw the tortoise shell and animal bones into the fire, stirred them from time to time with a copper pestle, and muttered words.At this moment, the flames rose instantly, and Peng Sheng was about to be involved in the fire.Everyone was shocked.But a moment later, the fire gradually diminished and returned to normal.He picked up the tortoise shell and animal bones from the fire, and said: "The soul is coming back, coming back..." The eyes of the soldiers were red, thinking of their dead comrades.Xiong Lu didn't blink his eyes, looking behind the high platform.The lights in the ancestral temple were brightly lit, it was unknown where Guan Fuxiu was at the moment.

The second sacrifice is a sacrifice dominated by a woman.The woman's expression was indifferent, but her face was very good-looking, but she looked a little older than her age, about 27-[-].This woman should be the sleeping woman mentioned by Guan Fuxiu, Lan Gu.There were many young women standing beside her, and as the bells and drums sounded, she sang slowly, her voice was beautiful.The girls, with their soft voices, sang softly along with the chorus, and the tone was extremely melodious.What they were singing, the Xiong couple didn't hear clearly.He heard a few words, which seemed to be a requiem for the soul.This sleeper must be comforting the undead who died in battle, making them leave with peace of mind.

The song is very long, sung over and over again, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to end.When those young women and Lan Gu stepped down from the sacrificial altar, the sound of bells and drums sounded again, which was more exciting than the previous music.As the drums sounded again and again, the Xiong Lu's heart also rose.

In the dark night, a white gauze dress is particularly eye-catching.The man was wearing a pure white mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly.He has a slender figure and a slender waist, with colorful silk ropes tied around his waist, with tiny silver bells strung on the silk ropes, his bare feet, and silver bells strung with red ropes on his ankles, he moves forward step by step, as if he was stepping forward. Stepping on the red lotus, the hem of the clothes swayed gently with the night wind, flowing like a fairy descending into the world.

He stepped forward step by step, came to the center of the sacrificial altar, and took off his mask as the drums stopped suddenly.

Today's Guanfuxiu is different from usual.On his forehead, a small phoenix bird was painted with cinnabar, and there were traces of decoration on his face, which looked extremely colorful and charming in the firelight.Under the reflection of the fire, the amber eyes emitted a pale golden light.Lips were rouged and as red as cherries.Xiong Lu was stunned unconsciously, thinking of nothing, just watching Guan Fuxiu lost in thought.

"My lord, it seems that Guan Buyin is pretending to be a goddess of Xiangshui today." You Meng whispered in his ear.

The couple of bears regained their senses at the right time, and the bell and drum sounded again. With the beat of the drum, Guan Fuxiu started the dance of delighting the gods with a very elegant and elegant posture on the sacrificial altar.Different from the dances danced by Yang Ji and Yue Ji that I have seen before, although he is playing the role of the goddess of Xiangshui today, every movement is full of a sense of elegance and ease, which makes him look like a young boy. Between the girl and the girl, this is an indescribable beauty, so beautiful that it is thrilling.

Xiong Lu's eyes didn't blink, following Guan Fuxiu's naked feet.He never knew that a boy could also dance such a beautiful dance without being feminine, even though he was playing a goddess at this time.

Sure enough, Youmeng didn't lie to him, Guan Fuxiu's dance was the most beautiful dance he had ever seen, beautiful and shocking.

All the people present were overwhelmed by it, except for the sound of bells and drums, there was no other sound.Those who were previously attracted by the food also stopped their chopsticks and looked at the sacrificial platform.This must be a scene they will never forget, Xiong Lu only regrets that he didn't bring a digital camera, otherwise he could record this moment and play it back every night.

The dancing time was not long, and with the changing music, Guan Fuxiu slowly walked down the sacrificial altar and walked forward along the red blanket.Xiong Lu's heart beat violently, staring at the red thread on Guan Fuxiu's ankle, watching him getting closer and closer to him.

Coming to the throne of the King of Chu, Guan Fuxiu knelt on one knee, folded his hands, and held a small silk book in his palm.He raised his head, just in time to meet Xiong Lu's eyes, Xiong Lu only felt that the charming feeling when he saw him for the first time returned.He has been with Guan Fuxiu for so long that he has forgotten that Guan Fuxiu is a charming person.He is like a hypnotist, as long as he looks into someone's eyes, he can seduce that person.
