Oriole Line

The original wooden blade fell off after being buckled, revealing the real blade made of fine iron inside.Pu Chen was worried that the iron sword would be too heavy to reveal flaws, so he specially cut the blade very thin, but it was sharpened to a real sharp edge.

"Miss, hurry up and get ready, King Huben is already waiting." Just after You Hour, the butler lady came to remind her.

In the room, Xiao Cui had combed Wen Tao's temples with clouds, covering his slightly angular forehead. At a glance, the hair on the temples was as light and elegant as cicada's wings, complementing his snow-colored gauze skirt.The butler was secretly surprised when he saw it, thinking that this lady is so beautiful, won't it be easy to get favored?So he changed into a flattering tone and said: "Girl with such a white skin, don't forget the rouge."

Wen Tao has never used rouge before, Xiaocui heard that she had already taken out the rouge box, and lightly put it on for Wen Tao.In this regard, Wen Tao is really a real beauty, with eyes like smoke and dew, lips like cherries, even Tang Yu beside him said softly, "It's so beautiful."

This slightly deep voice instantly aroused the suspicion of the housekeeper's wife.

Xiaocui coughed twice quickly, and Tang Yu shut up quickly.Xiaocui pointed to Tang Yu and explained: "My wife's voice is still a little hoarse, and she was overwhelmed by illness." Tang Yu nodded desperately.

The butler said with a sigh of relief: "So that's the case, then this girl doesn't have to follow."

Tang Yu froze for a moment, he originally thought that he could follow Wen Tao, and he could have a countermeasure in case of any accident.He glanced at Wen Tao, and after hesitating for a moment, Wen Tao nodded to Tang Yu, making a "pu" mouth shape.Tang Yu understood that it was Wen Tao who asked him to find Pu Chen.

"Since your wife has a bad voice and doesn't understand Jie language, then you can go along." The housekeeper said to Xiaocui.

Xiaocui was in the middle of her arms, and followed Wen Tao, step by step towards King Huben's room.

33, 33.

The steward's wife took Wen Tao and Xiao Cui to the courtyard of King Huben. Wen Tao had visited this courtyard a few days ago, but it was empty at that time, but now the number of guards had increased several times, and there was also a message from the hall. The sound of silk and bamboo music and dance.Wen Tao was afraid for a while. Fortunately, King Huben was not in the city that night, otherwise Wen Tao, the heavy guard, would have been sent to death. Could it be because of this that Pu Chen had been following him secretly before?

Wen Tao was still deep in thought, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the door. Several Beiyan guards searched Wen Tao and Xiao Cui, and after confirming that they were not carrying weapons, they set their sights on the wooden sword Wen Tao was carrying. Quickly explain in Jie language, this is the wooden sword that will be used for dancing later.The two guards snatched the wooden sword and pulled out the scabbard. They saw that there was indeed a wooden blade inside. The blade was very blunt, because it was used for dancing swords, and it was hung with tassels. He nodded and let the two of them go in.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of wine mixed with the smell of fat and powder. Several women were dancing, and a man was sitting on the ground, beating a tambourine, and a row of musicians sat beside him, playing casually with a little fatigue. With some ditties.The brute stood up, his face was swollen, his beard was unshaven, he was nine feet tall, his forehead was shaved, and the hair in the back was braided and hung behind his head. The big hand, as Yaoniang said, is like a bear, obviously the King of Huben.

When King Huben saw the person coming in, his eyes straightened, and he yelled a few times in Jie language.Xiao Cui whispered beside him: "He is saying that you are good-looking."

Wen Tao lowered his eyes and performed a Wanfu salute calmly.

King Huben really became interested, he waved his hand and drove out the dancing girls in the room, one of the dancers who was walking slowly was kicked by King Huben, Xiaocui was terrified when he saw it, and he thought that the barbarians were rude and barbaric If you don't understand the law, if you offend them, you will die without a burial place. I don't know if you can get out alive today.She sneaked a glance at Wen Tao, but saw that he was unmoved in the slightest, looking unusually cold.

King Huben wanted to grab Wen Tao's hand when he came up, but Wen Tao avoided it lightly, and motioned to Xiao Cui with his eyes. They had agreed before they came that he would not speak, and Xiao Cui would speak for him.Xiao Cui hurriedly said in Jie language: "My wife has prepared a dance for King Huben."

King Huben's eyes lit up, and he yelled at the musicians.The musician was obviously from Jing Dynasty, and he was not very familiar with Jie language, showing a trace of confusion.Xiao Cui hurriedly said: "Please play a piece of "The Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Array." The musicians all cheered up when they heard that. They were originally Han people in the north. After they were captured by the Beiyan people, they played for King Huben every day The lyrics and music are all sweet little songs from the Southland. Now, this maiko is going to dance "Qin Wang's Breaking the Battle". These musicians all sat up straight and settled their postures. The room was suddenly quiet .

There was a little drumbeat, and then a drumbeat that grew louder.Stepping on the beat of the drum, Wen Tao pulled out the wooden sword swiftly.He doesn't have any experience in music and dance, but "Qin Wang Breaks the Battle" is based on drums, and Wen Tao only needs to step on the drums to complete a set of swordsmanship.He originally danced more perfunctorily, because Qiao Erniang had told him that his movements were too aggressive and not feminine, so try to be as gentle as possible.Unexpectedly, this dance music aroused the sadness of the musicians. This "Qin King Breaks the Battle" was originally composed to commemorate the defeat of the Xiongnu by Emperor Wu Zong of the previous dynasty when he was the King of Qin.Hearing it suddenly at this time, I think of the once Jing Dynasty that ruled the Central Plains, how magnificent it is, but now half of the country is seized by a branch of the Xiongnu, Beiyan, the sadness and grief in it needless to say.

The musicians devoted themselves wholeheartedly, and the song "The Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" was played with great vigor.Although Wen Tao is not proficient in music theory, but following the rhythm of the drums, he danced with the momentum of King Qin defeating the Xiongnu.Although he was wearing a woman's skirt, he was wearing a snow-white dress with arrow sleeves. At this moment, his movements became more vigorous and powerful, and he faintly had the air of a general.The musicians were only moved by this piece of music, but they didn't expect that this maiko not only had a stunning appearance, but also performed a sword dance with extraordinary momentum, which was by no means comparable to that of ordinary women. Gu Dian wished he could knock down the roof of the prefect's mansion.

"Bang!" King Huben, who had been sitting all the time, jumped up and overturned the table in front of him. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and pierced the chief musician's chest with one knife!The musician was stabbed in the chest and died instantly. The blood was spilled on the spot. The faces of the remaining musicians suddenly turned ashen, stopped playing, and huddled together in fear.

Xiao Cui had never seen such a scene before. With a scream of "Wow", King Huben pointed a knife at her and said a few words in Jie language sharply.Xiaocui knelt on the ground, and answered a few words intermittently, and King Huben's complexion turned pale.King Huben pointed at the remaining musicians with a scimitar, and Xiao Cui hurriedly said softly, "King Huben told us to go out, as long as Yao Niang is here alone."

The rest of the musicians scrambled and retreated quickly, only Wen Tao was still standing in the room, with blood stains on his snow-white dress. Although he was surprised just now, he did not lose his composure after all.He glanced at Xiaocui, with doubts on his face, Xiaocui said softly: "King Huben said that a lady looks as beautiful as the moon in the sky, but dancing swords is a man's business, these musicians should be damned, let the original look like the moon The woman who danced the same danced the sun dance. He told us all to go out, and he said he would play the drums for the maid."

King Huben yelled at Xiao Cui again, and Xiao Cui hurriedly backed out, looking at Wen Tao with worried eyes when she closed the sliding door.

Wen Tao took a deep breath, now only he and King Huben were left in the room, this was his best chance and also his most dangerous moment.

King Huben sat down again and put his tambourine on his chest.There was already a puddle of blood on the surface of the drum, King Huben didn't care at all, he brushed it with his hand, and a layer of blood stained his big hairy hands.He looked up at Wen Tao, his eyes were full of desire, like the expressions of wolves staring at their prey on the grassland.His fingers dropped, and there was a soft thud on the drumhead.This is a tambourine used by Jie people. The sound is slightly different from Jingchao's drum, which is more rough and dull, but more powerful.

Wen Tao bit the bullet and stepped on the drums and began to dance the sword again, this time it was completely different from before.Just now was "The Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Array" accompanied by musicians. The music is magnificent and the drums are dense. As long as you follow the drums and speed up your movements, you can hardly tell whether it is a sword dance or a sword dance.But this time, I don't know if King Huben did it on purpose, the rhythm of his knocking is slow and full of changes, like a flock of sheep on the grassland, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattered, unrestrained, like flowing clouds.Cooperating with his drumbeat, Wen Tao could only slow down his movements. Once he slowed down, his every move and style became very clear. King Huben squinted his eyes, and his smile became unfathomable.

Suddenly, the sound of the drum stopped abruptly, and Wen Tao's movement stopped, which happened to be the movement of raising a sword. King Huben's next drum beat was delayed, and Wen Tao did not move, maintaining this movement.A few seconds passed, and King Huben clapped his hand hard, snorting and said: "You, you can't dance."

He can speak Chinese!

Wen Tao's eyes widened, and King Huben's furry hands were covered with blood."You can't dance, but you can dance swords," he said in unstandard but still distinguishable Chinese.

Wen Tao tried his best to calm himself down, but he could feel his legs trembling slightly.He couldn't open his mouth, and once he opened his mouth, he would die even more without a place to bury him.He tried his best to smile, and met King Huben's scrutinizing gaze. There was a hint of seductive temptation in that smile.

King Huben stared at Wen Tao for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.
