The sky gradually darkened, and the bonfire was ignited by piles of people. The smell of roasted meat drifted away in the evening breeze.
It will never go away for a long time.
After Yuan Dan returned from the toilet, she didn't rush to go to the table, but stood there and walked around and took a look.
The rosin was burning in the brazier, and the twelve Qiang men were disheveled in their hair, wearing ghostly faces, and whistling sounds in their mouths.
The priest shook the copper bell in his hand.
The Qiang people and Han shouted together, and danced on the grass with neat and rhythmic steps.
In the music and dance system of the New Dynasty, dance is officially divided into healthy dance and soft dance. The burly men in front of them are naturally healthy dance.
They were wearing cowhide armor, holding short swords in one hand and shield in the other. They were full of masculine and simple smell between movement and stillness.
When the firelight shone on their masks, it had a little mysterious color.
Yuan Dan stood aside with his arms in his arms, not very interested in these "all feelings, no skills" dances, and his eyes searched repeatedly in the crowd.
Soon, he found the King of Qin.
Yao Yizhong, the prefect of Nan'an, and Pang Cheng, the largest local gentry, sat on the left and right, and were sitting under him. Pang Cheng is said to be descendants of Pang De. This is also a local powerful sect. He has never lived in peace since the Han Dynasty.
.
Yuan Dan continued to observe.
The King of Qin changed into another military uniform, smiling, and said something to Yao Yizhong and Pang Cheng from time to time.
For some reason, Yuan Dan felt that the King of Qin had changed a little.
Before he was fifteen years old, he either studied and read in the palace or practiced martial arts. After his founding, he was named King of Qin and had his own subordinates. Until then, his life was smooth sailing, and his identity as the eldest son naturally attracted compliments from others.
, In private, I beg for the visits of the scholars who were not scholars and were not qualified to meet the King of Qin.
He was blocked directly by the people below.
To be honest, he is not as good as the King of Qi and King of Chu in terms of life experience.
These two were older and had more opportunities to follow the emperor. They even went to war together, especially when they captured Pingyang. They set out from Puyang with the emperor and taught by example.
Later, when Liu Han was defeated, he was responsible for supervising the transportation of food and grass. In terms of ability, King Qi and King Chu were much stronger than the current King Qin. The main reason was that they were nine years older and seven years older.
Age advantages bring advantages in experience, experience and perception. The emperor also saw this, so every prince had to take responsibility when he was fifteen or sixteen years old and observe carefully.
This time, the inspection of the dige and arsenal in the west was quite touching the King of Qin. Yuan Dan has been following the King of Qin and is very clear about this.
Simply put, the King of Qin saw a brand new universe.
Perhaps I could understand these things by studying in the past. But can sitting in the palace and watching dry words, compared to personally experiencing the customs and cultures, contacting living people, and seeing various things?
Yuan Dan felt that the King of Qin was a little out of control. "Lingling----" Another bell rang.
Yuan Dan suddenly came to his senses, but saw that the group of healthy dancers had retreated and replaced them with more than ten girls.
The young girls are young and charming, all of whom are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they already know that they have flattered the powerful men for a moment. They held a circle made of vines and turned naked, turning one by one in front of the King of Qin, their eyes fluttering, and their charming feelings.
Tiancheng, with the bell hanging on the ankle, it really has a unique charm.
After the girls turned around, another girl in a white dress entered. The snow-colored long skirt danced lightly in the night wind, like a lotus blooming on a glacier.
The girl's forehead was covered with silver jewelry, shining brightly under the moonlight, and her hair was decorated with green gems, like a magnificent treasure in the fire.
Sixteen girls quietly left the girl, gave her the brightest and most conspicuous position in the night sky, and instead sang the ancient Qiang song.
The girl was unruly and danced attentively.
When the skirt rotates, it is like a wave stirred by a glacier.
As his figure jumped, he looked like a white deer running in the forest.
Shao Jin had already put down the wine bowl.
He has a good vision and has admired a lot of dances, but there is another style in front of him that he has never seen before.
The key is that this girl is pretty and has wild thighs on her body. When she dances and looks back, her eyes look at him with a bit of exploration, curiosity, and even contempt?
Shao Jin's interest was a little aroused.
Of course, he would not show it clearly. Although he was fifteen years old, he would never hesitate when his mother's ruler was about to be put.
But who is Yao Yizhong? Shao Jin thought he was hiding his worries well, but in the eyes of the old fox, there were all flaws.
He leaned over to Shao Jin's ear and whispered, "The leader of the dancer is my daughter, as big as His Highness, her mother."
Well, I can't remember which one it is. Anyway, I'm good at dancing and music. She has read books, can write poetry and essays, and can take it back if she likes rituals and music. It's also her luck."
Shao Jin immediately sat upright, shook his head and said with a smile: "I am here to inspect the arsenal of the Palace Pavilion. The emperor is drunk."
"Oh." Yao Yizhong sighed and said, "I don't know how many people are targeting this woman. If Your Highness doesn't take her, she will marry those rough bodies sooner or later. They don't understand the charm, will my daughter shed tears every night?
"
When Shao Jin heard that this person was going to marry into the tribe's little coaches and the frontiers' families, he felt nervous and thought it was a pity, but he didn't make any noise, and just joked: "How many children and daughters do you have in the Mansion?"
"Forgot." Yao Yizhong laughed.
If you joke that a person can't remember who the child is and how many children he has, he may be angry, but for Lao Qiang, he not only does not get angry, but also takes pride in it.
Lao Qiang is fifty-two years old this year, has more than thirty sons and forty daughters, and the data is changing every year. It is normal that it is not clear.
The person leading the dancer in front of me is probably the most beautiful of Yao Yizhong's forty thousand gold medals. I want to sell it for a good price today.
As for making friends with princes, nothing big of a deal.
It may be a bit taboo for court officials, and it doesn't care much about Yao Laoqiang, who can pull out tens of thousands of troops and eight thousand elite cavalry.
This is called united front value. Yao Yizhong didn’t know this term, and he understood the truth.
Moreover, as the most powerful group among the Qiang people, after the Fu Hong family was moved away and Yang Nandian fled, the old Qiang had a great influence among the two major ethnic groups of Qiang and could incite many people.
It can be seen that Kim Jong is so domineering, he has never humiliated Yao Yizhong.
While speaking, the leading dancer had already arrived not far from the front of the desk. With the last movement, the woman bowed her back and her long hair like black wood hung about inch in front of Shao Jin's desk.
The evening breeze blows gently, and the hair is slightly undulating, stirring ripples.
Shao Jin picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
Yao Yizhong winked. After the dancer got up, he pulled it over and stuffed it into Shao Jin's arms, and smiled and said, "If your highness likes it, you can do a good thing tonight. Just give it to a wife in the future."
The warm fragrance and soft jade were in her arms, and Shao Jin's expression froze.
The beauty's face was buried in his arms, almost completely covered by her hair, her chest was fluctuating, and she was obviously extremely nervous.
"Okay!" The Qiang chiefs around them cheered, and the young nephews standing behind them looked sour and looked extremely complicated.
"Yao Gong is in power. Nan'an, Luoyang, Tianshui, Wudu, Yinping, and Longxi's heroic families, who do not know the name of Yao Gong?" Pang Cheng said on the side: "If a virtuous niece has a good home, the six counties will be home.
"
Shao Jin was a little at a loss.
In an instant, he thought of the various political taboos that the officials of the royal palace had instilled in him all year round, and then thought of his mother's disappointed eyes and the ruler "murder weapon" that was almost engraved in his soul. His mind was extremely chaotic.
Yao Yizhong's face gradually became stern, and he snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything.
The faces of the chiefs around him gradually became colder, as if they felt very humiliated.
Pang Cheng's face was very panicked and he frequently signaled to Shao Jin, as if the Qiang of the six counties would rebel together in the next moment, destroying the emperor's attack and accomplishing great cause.
Shao Jin understood his eyes, but he really didn't know what to do. At the age of fifteen, he was just starting out and had never encountered such a thing. His mind was spinning fast at this moment, but he was worried about this for a while and worried about this for a while.
, hesitated.
The footsteps were heard quickly, and the left attendant Yuan Dan squeezed into the crowd and said with a smile: "This matter is one by one'
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shao Jin took a deep breath, reached out to stop Yuan Dan's words, gently lifted the lower jaw of the beauty in his arms, and said, "Who is the girl?"
"Qiongxuan." Yao said softly.
"Pour wine for the lonely man." Shao Jin helped her up and said.
Yao nodded, sat aside with a red face, and began to pour wine.
Yao Yizhong and Pang Cheng looked at each other for a moment, then quickly looked away.
Yuan Dan breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing at this time is to alleviate the situation. Let’s talk about whether to agree or not.
In addition, he deeply suspected that Yao Yizhong was doing this on purpose.
Shao Jin was the eldest son and naturally had the advantage of inheriting the throne. His country name was Qin, and his fief was in Fufeng. There were also many local people in Guanxi in the royal palace. It was normal to attract Yao Yizhong to pay capital.
Moreover, this guy likes to pretend to be stupid and straightforward with the appearance of a Hu man. In fact, he is full of thoughts and must not be underestimated.
However, Lao Qiang is Lao Qiang after all, and his methods are still different from those of the Han scholars. They are a little rougher and may have hidden dangers, although they may not be a big deal in the eyes of a local overlord like Lao Qiang.
After thinking about this, Yuan Dan quietly looked at the King of Qin again.
In just a moment, the King of Qin was forced into a corner and finally developed a quick mind and resolved the crisis.
There may be many ways to deal with this kind of thing in the eyes of people in their thirties or forties, but the King of Qin was only fifteen years old and had little experience. He was attacked again without any mental preparation. It was good to resolve it in a hurry. At least,
Temporarily fooled it.
At this time, Yuan Dan suddenly thought of the emperor.
He is worthy of being a father and son!
The emperor married Empress Yu to make the gentry in western Henan return home, and from then on, he had a stable rear, with money and food, and a strong man.
If the King of Qin could really win over Yao Yizhong, don't say that Lao Qiang's family is still very rich, and his soldiers fought all year round, not a mob. Not only can they control Nan'an, but they are also very influential in the surrounding neighboring counties, especially the low Qiang.
Groups and Han tycoons who are closely related to them.
The biggest hidden danger now is what Your Majesty thinks? Yao Yizhong should not be smart and harm the King of Qin.
Shao Jin had already started chatting and laughing with Yao and Yao Yizhong, and the atmosphere had returned to harmony again, as if Yao Yizhong's dark face and the dangerous eyes of the Qiang chiefs were just a scene.
Chapter completed!
