Chapter 73

Looking around, there are taverns, restaurants, tea stalls, guest rooms, study rooms, galleries, cloakrooms, bathrooms, grocery stores, trading houses, blacksmith shops, weapons workshops, and carriage and horse warehouses. , there is a vegetable market.

All kinds of people and things are constantly circulating in front of you.There are bearded beards from the Western Regions, and dancers from Japan.There are load-carriers from the north, and peddlers from the south.

So many scenes made her dazzled and dizzy.

Does Sister Mei really want to invite Yang Yizhao and Gao Lan here?Shouldn't it be somewhere more private?This is obviously a busy city, so how can it be suitable for meetings and negotiations?

Yang Yizhao glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Did you guess it?"

When Xiao Yezi was asked by him, she was a little puzzled, but she realized it in a moment: "Could it be that it is hidden in the city? ——Creation Building, Creation Building, since the world is created, it must be in the world."

Seeing that she was smart, Yang Yizhao liked her even more, hugged her waist tightly, and said with a smile: "Yuezhou City is the Chuangshi Building, and the Chuangshi Building is Yuezhou City. This is sister Mei's territory. Don't show your timidity when people are staring at you." Then he kissed Xiao Ye Zi hard on the face.Xiao Ye Zi secretly sighed that she was in a pirate ship, unable to stand up and fight, so she could only let out a coquettish moan, and said nothing.

Not long after, two young men in green robes came up to him and saluted Yang Yizhao respectfully.

"Lan Jingyu and Lan Jingxuan, disciples of Sangnong Hall of the Creation Building, welcome Yang Tianwang. Ren Tianwang and Gao Hall Master have been waiting in the teahouse for a long time, please move."

When the two raised their heads, Xiao Ye Zi saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but amazed.These two youths are a pair of twins. Not only are they identical in appearance, but they are also slender in stature.

Surname Lan?Xiao Ye Zi's heart moved, and she vaguely remembered that these two people were the sons of the head master Lan of Sang Nong Hall.When selecting the servants, sister Mei betrothed the Luo sisters from the Fengrui Camp to the two of them.I remember that Gao Yunrong strongly opposed it at that time, insisting that the two of them were romantic children and could not be trusted.But seeing them now, the two behaved well, just like a pair of gentleman bamboos in the painting, how could they see any signs of promiscuity?

Yang Yizhao only nodded slightly and did not return the salute.Lan Jingyu and Lan Jingxuan led the way.Yang Yizhao hugged Xiao Yezi and followed the two of them to the tea room of a teahouse.

The layout of the tea room is simple and fresh. There are many famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall, brass incense burner on the case shelf, and green silk Shu brocade on the bamboo chairs. The atmosphere is noble and elegant.In the small room stood a transparent tulle screen, on which was painted a beautiful swordsman drawing a sword and dancing, which made the tea room more elegant and elegant.There are three food tables on one side of the screen, and the wine, wine and delicacies are all ready.Ren Qingmei sat on the main seat, Gao Lan was on the right as the guest of honor, and on the left was reserved for Yang Yizhao and Xiao Yezi.

Seeing Yang Yizhao coming, Ren Qingmei stood up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Little Yang, are you here?" She only looked at Yang Yizhao, as if Yang Yizhao was holding a ball of air.Xiao Yezi was a little embarrassed, this... When she met her in person before, wasn't Ren Qingmei also gentle and kind?Why is she now disguised as Yang Yizhao's favorite concubine, and received completely different treatment?

Gao Lan sat still, only looking at Ren Qingmei and Yang Yizhao, as if enjoying a good show: "It's really fun to bring beauty to the banquet. No wonder Yang Tianwang is getting younger and younger."

Yang Yizhao smiled and didn't answer, but under Ren Qingmei's gaze, the hand holding Xiao Yezi moved slightly, as if he was a little nervous.

Xiao Yezi's palm was tightly pressed against Yang Yizhao's, and every subtle change in him could not escape her keen perception.

Sure enough, when he saw sister Mei, Yang Yizhao felt as unnatural as before.She had imagined this scenario before she came, but when it really happened to her, a sour feeling of hating iron and steel suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.It's a pity that I'm restricted by the environment now, and I can't vent my emotions wantonly. When I go back to Liren Pavilion, I'll see if she doesn't blow Yang Yizhao's head off.

The road to defending love is indeed long and difficult.Xiao Yezi sighed secretly, looked in the direction, covered it with the hem of her skirt, stretched out her left foot to trip her right foot, staggered and fell on Yang Yizhao.Yang Yizhao was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to hug her, and said hurriedly, "Are you all right?"

Xiao Ye Zi jumped into his arms, squeezed her throat and said with a coquettish smile: "I was scared to death, but fortunately brother Zhao protected me." When Yang Yizhao turned his back to Ren Qingmei, Xiao Ye Zi reached out and pinched Ren Qingmei fiercely on his chest. But on the face facing Ren Qingmei, there is still a smile like a flower, pure and quiet.

After all, Yang Yizhao was no longer a kid, and after learning a lesson, he knew that Xiao Yezi was jealous.

He was very satisfied in his heart, and instantly forgot Ren Qingmei, stretched out his hand to straighten Xiao Yezi, and said with a smile: "It's really unruly, I haven't seen Ren Tianwang and Hall Master Gao before."

Xiao Ye Zi covered her mouth, and with a sound of yah, she seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Ren Qingmei and Gao Lan: "Shu Yan pays respects to Madam, pays respects to Hall Master Gao."

Gao Lan could see it clearly from the side, and didn't point it out. He just showed his face and smiled: "No wonder he is favored by Tianwang Yang. Such a lovely and pitiful person, who would not be tempted?"

Ren Qingmei was a little surprised when she heard her calling herself "Madam", and then smiled calmly: "Get up, give me a seat."

Yang Yizhao was about to take Xiao Yezi to the table, but found that behind his food table, there was only one cushion.He was upset, and was just about to ask the attendant to add a seat for Xiao Yezi.But Xiao Yezi took a few steps forward, knelt on the side of the food table with her knees crossed, with a submissive face, she smiled and said nothing.

Yang Yizhao wanted to pull her up, but she gave him a look and signaled him not to be fussy.Yang Yizhao had no choice but to sit down on the cushion, but he was already dissatisfied with Ren Qingmei's arrangement, and he was no longer as nervous as before.Seeing that he had turned calm, Xiao Ye Zi was secretly happy, took the jug on the table, and smiled for him like a gentle and virtuous wife.

Ren Qingmei poked her eyes out of the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Shu Yan knows the etiquette of rank very well, which is very good."

Xiao Ye Zi lowered her head and replied: "Shu Yan is just a dancer, it is Shu Yan's good fortune to be favored by King Yang. Today, she can see the wife of the gang leader and admire her demeanor. Shu Yan feels even more humble and dare not show up in front of her rash."

Although she answered, her eyes were fixed on Ren Qingmei's wrist.If she took a step forward at this time, she would be able to lift Ren Qingmei's robe sleeve, reveal Ren Qingmei's tattoo, and find out the secret of Li Li's life experience.Her chest kept rising and falling, and she was fighting in the depths of her heart, but considering Yang Yizhao, after only a moment, she bowed her head deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Shu Yan is young, she can't always be considerate of current affairs and everything, please forgive me."

Ren Qingmei smiled: "What do you say, it seems that I am very fierce and will punish you at any time?"

"Shu Yan doesn't dare." Xiao Ye Zi bowed her head on the ground, "Shu Yan's status is humble, it is a blessing to be summoned by Madam, how dare she speak sweetly in front of Madam, and have a different heart."

Ren Qingmei smiled again: "You are Xiao Yang's person, I shouldn't have said anything. But..." She turned her eyes and looked at Yang Yizhao, "Xiao Yang, you are also a king after all, you should always consider your status before doing things. Xiao Yang, I'm doing this for your own good. Listen to my sister's advice and don't go astray." When she said the last sentence, she had a gentle tone and kind eyes, staring straight at Yang Yizhao, as if she hoped that Yang Yizhao would have something to say. respond.

Seeing Ren Qingmei taunting Xiao Yezi, Yang Yizhao felt displeased, and was about to speak, but Xiao Yezi held down his left hand.Only Xiao Ye Zi bowed her head and said: "Shu Yan knows that she is not worthy, so she dare not expect to enter the room. Madam's banquet today is a pleasure, please don't make everyone unhappy because of Shu Yan's presence. Shu Yan voluntarily withdraws, and does not want to disturb the adults having a banquet .”

Xiao Ye Zi got up and was about to leave, when Ren Qingmei said suddenly: "Today is a fellowship meeting, if you leave, won't you leave Yang Tianwang alone in embarrassment?"

At this moment, Gao Lan suddenly smiled and said: "Just now I heard from you that you were a dancer before following Yang Tianwang? If so, you might as well dance here to help Yang Tianwang enjoy the wine, and it is also enough for you to say something to Madam. crime."

Yang Yizhao's expression changed.Ren Qingmei smiled and said: "Master Gao has mentioned an elegant method. Shu Yan, what do you think? If you don't want to, you can just say it."

Xiao Yezi's heart is like a mirror - before she was invited here today, she had guessed what kind of attitude Ren Qingmei would have towards her.

Maybe Ren Qingmei just wanted to see what kind of person she was, so she invited her to the banquet.

Maybe Ren Qingmei wanted to win over Yang Yizhao, so she was invited together to win Yang Yizhao's favor.

But as soon as she arrived at the teahouse, she knew from the first moment she saw Ren Qingmei that Ren Qingmei had invited her here just to beat Yang Yizhao.Ren Qingmei's love for Yang Yizhao may be love, or use, or twisted desire for monopoly.She couldn't tell the difference for the time being, but she was sure that Ren Qingmei had unusual feelings for Yang Yizhao.That's how today's Hongmen Banquet came about.

And Gao Lan's provocation for Ren Qingmei at this moment proves that Ren Qingmei had already reached a certain agreement with Gao Lan before she and Yang Yizhao arrived.It seems that Ren Qingmei is really going to fight for the control of the Heavenly King Gang while Yunxi is retreating.

In fact, apart from practicing physical skills, she has never rehearsed any systematic dance music.But now it's hard to ride a tiger - Ren Qingmei seems to have given her a choice, but how can she fail to understand the meaning of the order in the words?Seeing that Yang Yizhao was about to stand up and refuse, she was grateful, but she didn't want to embarrass Yang Yizhao. When she raised her eyes, she saw a picture of a lady dancing with a sword on the screen. She moved her mind and looked up at Ren Qingmei's smile, and smiled: " In this way, Shu Yan has made an ugly show. Please also give me two short swords to use."

Yang Yizhao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the little leaf gourd, so he found her two short swords.Xiao Ye Zi walked behind the screen, picked up a sword, and with a sneer, cut off half of her long skirt and made it into a knee-length skirt.In order to prevent her appearance from being revealed while dancing, she cut a piece of rag around her face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.She made a starting gesture, and then sang the melody in her mouth, and her body danced accordingly.Everyone saw a slender figure passing through the gauze behind the screen, coated with a halo, making it look graceful and mysterious.

Yang Yizhao was stunned at first when he heard the tune was familiar, and then watched his movements, he couldn't help laughing secretly, feeling very pleased with himself.What Xiao Yezi danced this time was exactly the unfeeling dance that she danced for Xue Yue in the villa at that time.It's just that she combined the enthusiastic fast dance of the Western Regions with the dagger element in her hand, which made the originally passionate dancing posture more stern and chilling.Desiring to cooperate with her in a performance, Yang Yizhao took the wine cup and bamboo chopsticks, hit the table with his left hand, hit the table with his right hand, and sang along with the rhyme.

Xiao Yezi recognized this melody, which was exactly the song played by Xue Yue's accompanying dancer that night in Xingzhuang.But under Yang Yizhao's clear and resonant singing, a kind of air of the Western Regions, killing and killing the far away, shuttles and jumps among the notes, changing the lingering sentiment into a high-spirited and jumping youthful spirit.The sound of singing, singing, and hitting the table overlapped three times, and it was full of the spirit of an ancient chivalrous song, which perfectly fit her meaning of dancing with a sword.

The heroic and joyful singing gradually filled up Xiao Ye Zi's confidence, stepping forward and swinging back, spinning comfortably and more freely.With the foundation of physical skills and grappling, the two short swords circled and fluttered in her little hands, and she followed the silver light flashing, moving and stabbing.As the music progressed, the two silver lightning bolts in her hand danced faster and faster. In the flickering silver light, she was like a fairy Chang'e holding a sword, stepping on clouds of sword light, stretching in the wind of the sword. fairy pose.

Yang Yizhao suddenly tapped repeatedly, pushing the tense and passionate music to a climax.The little leaf also followed the melody, bent down and shrank into one place, and then exerted force on its toes, and on a point of origin, opened its arms and stepped forward, like a crazily growing seedling that broke through the ground, in the layer of sword light dancing In the layer of halo, a firm and upright kapok will be formed for life.Everyone saw her hovering and flying like a spinning top, but her face could no longer be seen clearly, only a blue whirlwind was left, sweeping wantonly behind the screen and devouring all the attention and surprises.

Yang Yizhao sang for a long time, and the music came to an end.Suddenly he heard his high-pitched voice climbing up into the sky, and then the whole piece of music came to an abrupt end.The speed of Xiao Yezi's movement has reached the limit. When everyone was amazed, she suddenly stepped on the last note and stopped dancing. Like a phoenix spreading its wings, she stabbed the two swords to the left and right. The sword was so powerful that it seemed to fly away.But Xiao Yezi still firmly grasped the end of the hilt, bowed her head and smiled.Her smile was not mixed with a trace of complacency, and in a pair of pitch-black dotted eyes, there were cunning cunning and youthful vigor shining down from her eyes.

Ren Qingmei and Gao Lan were also moved by her passion.Gao Lan clapped her palms and exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is the person Yang Tianwang likes, and he really has some skills."

Ren Qingmei glanced at Gao Lan lightly, and was about to speak.But Yang Yizhao threw down his chopsticks, walked quickly behind the screen, stretched his long arms, and hid Xiao Yezi in his arms, not letting Gao Lan look at it again, then turned his back to Ren Qingmei and smiled, although his words were gentle, but his tone was But with the domineering aura of a three-point warning, he said coldly: "Everyone eat and enjoy, and I am also tired. Let me take my leave first, and next time Sister Mei is interested, I will accompany you to the banquet But... next time, I will forgive Shuyan for the inconvenience." He grabbed Xiao Ye Zi's slender waist, carried her on his shoulders, and left with a long smile, ignoring the people at the banquet.
