The late autumn night came early, and it was just mid-morning. It was already completely dark. It was time to turn on the lamps. The whole palace was brightly lit, with countless tall butter lamps and candles as thick as arms lit one after another.
, the whole palace was decorated brightly and magnificently. This is the style that the Wang family should have, but it is nothing unusual. However, the palace today is more noisy and noisy than usual, just because of a grand
The state banquet was going on in the main hall of the palace. Not only was the palace filled with dignitaries from all walks of life, but the small square in front of the palace was also filled with banquets. There was singing and dancing in front of the court, and maids in costumes went back and forth between the banquets. The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
People from the Western Regions have always been good at singing and dancing, especially the band of the Kucha people, the dance of the Khotan people and the singing voice of the Loulan girl are the most praiseworthy. It would be a great enjoyment to be able to gather together. At this time, in the main hall,
Such a visual feast is being performed brilliantly - the Qiuci music troupe is playing hard, bursts of melodious music circle the beams in the hall, dozens of Loulan singers and queens in costumes, and dozens of Khotan dancers.
Like stars over the moon, it highlights a stunning beauty who is leading the dance. However, when you see the lead dancer's waist as soft as water, her eyes as bright as stars, and her long water sleeves fluttering, she is as touching as a goddess descending to earth. She dances beautifully.
Even more beautiful, all the dignitaries in the palace were mesmerized by the sight, and the worst one was probably Wang Rizan, who was sitting high on the guest table, staring straight at the dancing figure.
There was an extremely obscene expression in the corners of his mouth, giving him the image of a hungry ghost in lust.[]
"Okay, okay, hahaha, okay, okay, okay!"
The singing and dancing were indeed perfect, but they eventually came to an end. While everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste, Wang Rizan was already laughing and shouting "Hello", but his eyes never left the curling eyes.
The figure of the beautiful lead dancer retreated. I really don’t know whether this guy was praising the singing and dancing or coveting the stunning appearance of the dancer.
"It's good if the general thinks it's good. Haha, the girl who is leading the dance, Xiao Wang, will send someone to the general's camp soon. Please don't dislike it, general." Fu Xiong is an old and cunning person, so he understands Wang.
What was Rizan's motive for praising him so much, he joked with him with a smile.
"Hahaha... Okay, the king is really interesting, so I'm not welcome, general. Come on, drink, drink!"
Seeing that Fu Jianxiong was so knowledgeable, Wang Rizan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He laughed loudly and picked up the wine bottles on the table in front of him, shouting that he wanted to have a good drink with Fu Jianxiong.
"The general is indeed a good drinker, but Xiao Wang is nowhere near as good as him."
Wang Rizan was in a good mood, so he took Fu Jianxiong and drank a lot, one bottle after another. Fu Jianxiong couldn't resist anymore and had to stop drinking and apologize.
"Hahaha... You Khotan people are not good at fighting, and you are not good at drinking. You can just sing and dance. That's all. I won't drink anymore. I, the general, have official duties, so let's go." Wang Rizan didn't think much of him at all.
Fu Xiong, after drinking too much wine, his words became even more unhindered. In addition, he was thinking about the beautiful woman who led the dance earlier. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he laughed and stretched, and planned to leave.
, as soon as he stood up, all the Tibetan generals who were drinking happily in the palace had to stand up in frustration. It seemed that the banquet had come to an end.
"General, wait a minute, Xiao Wang still has a big show to dedicate to the general. The preservation is a spectacle that the general has never heard of or seen." Fu Jianxiong, who had ulterior motives, refused to let Wang Rizan leave like this, so he smiled and stretched out his hand.
After a while, he said something mysteriously.
"Oh? That's good. General, I can just take a look."
Seeing what Fu Xiong said was so mysterious, Wang Rizan really became interested. After rolling his eyes, he smiled and sat back down.
"Bah bang."
Fu Xiong didn't talk much, just gave him two gentle claps, and soon he saw an old man in green walking into the hall with a smile on his face. He gracefully bowed to everyone, without opening a word, just holding up his hands with a smile.
As soon as he turned it over, two birds suddenly appeared on his empty palms. As soon as his hands were released, the two birds were already circling in the hall. Then, the old man kept turning his palms, one after another.
Birds kept flashing in his palm, and in an instant, dozens of birds filled the hall, whirling and chirping. The old man kept turning his hand, and then pots of blooming flowers appeared in his palm.
There was a waiter on the side who placed flower pots all over the floor.
"It's amazing, it's amazing. This, this is all real. Immortal magic, it's magic."
Although magic is a minor trick, it is quite popular in the Central Plains and occasionally appears in the Western Regions. But for the Tubo generals who come from the bitter cold land, it is an extremely magical thing. Wang Rizan was still there
I suspected it was an illusion, but after catching a bird with my own hands and touching the blooming flowers, I was immediately shocked. I murmured exclaims in my mouth, blinked hard, and couldn't believe what was happening in front of me.
A magical scene.
The old man ignored Wang Rizan's surprise and gave a gentle high-five. Then he saw several eunuchs carrying a large cabinet into the hall. They placed the cabinet next to the old man and then bowed and retreated. The old man opened the door with a smile.
He took off a piece of cloth on the big cabinet, revealing an empty space inside. Then he bowed to Fu Jianxiong and Wang Rizan, and spoke in Chinese.
"Master, what is this immortal talking about?"
Although Wang Rizan is now a high-ranking official with the title of head of ten thousand households, his background is just that of an ordinary nobleman. He is a new nobleman who rose through the ranks through his military exploits. He is not as proficient in Chinese as the average Tibetan high-ranking officials, so he cannot understand what the old man in blue is saying.
He hurriedly asked Fu Jianxiong.
"The old immortal said that he can use this magical box to make people disappear out of thin air, and can also change people back out of thin air. I would like to ask Xiao Wang and the general to be witnesses together. I wonder what the general wants?"
Xiong smiled and explained in Tubo dialect.
"This has happened, well, I, the general, will just play with the king for a while."
Wang Rizan had been intrigued by the magical performance of the old man in green, and he stood up happily without saying goodbye. He ran to the box, looked at it curiously, and then groped around in the box.
After a while, I didn't find anything wrong. I wanted to get into the box by myself, but I was worried about an accident. So I rolled my eyes and said: "Master, you should come first. I will do this."
A testimony would be good.”
"Okay, Xiao Wang, come and try."
Fu Xiong didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately. He bent down and stepped into the open cabinet. Soon he saw the old man in green waving his hand and the curtain was lowered. Then he muttered something in his mouth.
After a while, he gestured at the big cabinet a few times with his sword-like fingers, and then he opened the curtain with a smile, only to see that the big cabinet was empty. Fu Jianxiong had really disappeared.
When the people in the hall saw this, they all exclaimed. For a while, the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market. However, the old man didn't care about everyone's surprise. He reached out and scanned the cabinet to show that there was no one in it, and then smiled and said
He lowered the curtain again and said a few words to Wang Rizan in Chinese.
"The old immortal said that in today's world, only the general can call back the king. As long as the general opens the curtain with his own hands, the king will appear inside."
Just when Wang Rizan was at a loss and didn't know what to say, a Tibetan general who knew Chinese hurriedly came over and explained in a low voice.
"Is this happening? Ha, okay, I'll give it a try, general."
Wang Rizan was in high spirits at this time, so he didn't think too much. He laughed and walked to the big cabinet. He stretched out his big hand and opened the curtain. He took a look and immediately found that there was indeed someone inside, but it was not Fuchuan.
The hero is Luo Tong holding a horizontal sword!
"have……"
Wang Rizan is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his reaction is amazingly fast. He was stunned for a moment before he realized something was wrong. He didn't care much. With a strong step on his feet, he jumped back and he didn't forget what he said.
He shouted a warning, but unfortunately he was faster and Luo Tong was faster. Before Wang Rizan could unfold his figure, he saw Luo Tong stepping out of the big cabinet, spinning his body, and the horizontal knife in his hand had been slashed out, and the knife was shining.
There was a flash like a rainbow, and Wang Rizan's jumping movements froze instantly. He stopped mid-sentence in his shouting. After a gurgling sound in his throat, his body trembled slightly, and a bullet
Dou Da's head had rolled to the ground, and a large stream of dirty blood spurted out from the fractured neck, splashing everywhere like fireworks.
"There's an assassin!"
"He killed the general, beheaded him!"
"kill!"
…
All the Tubo generals were figures thrown out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Although they were slightly panicked when they were suddenly attacked, they quickly came to their senses. Although they were attending a banquet, they had no weapons at hand.
Weapons, but this group of extremely brave generals did not have the slightest fear. They either pounced on them with bare hands, or rushed out with a few weapons, and all of them killed Luo Tong as if they didn't care about their lives. At the same time,
The ordinary Tibetan officers attending the night banquet outside also noticed something was wrong, got up in confusion and rushed to the main hall.
"kill!"
The reaction of the Tubo people was extremely swift, but unfortunately in the face of a meticulous conspiracy, all this bravery was in vain. Before a group of Tubo people could launch an offensive, they heard a loud roar outside the palace, and countless heavily armed Khotanese
Under the personal command of Fuxiong, the soldiers rushed out from both sides of the hall and chopped down the unprepared Tubo people to the ground one by one like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The battle in the palace was extremely short, and the two sides were not on the same starting line at all. All the unlucky Tubo people were killed on the spot, and no one could escape. At the same time, the commando led by Yuchi Gan also attacked the people in the east of the city.
The Tubo military camp launched a surprise attack. Taking advantage of the leaderless Tubo army, they killed all five thousand Tibetan elites. Since Luo Tong launched the attack, the whole city's battle only took half an hour.
end.
At the beginning of Haishi, in a large courtyard in the south of Khotan City, Luo Tong, who was still wearing blood-stained clothes, and Su Da, who had a smiling face like a Buddha, stood side by side in the courtyard. Several men in black walked forward holding bird cages.
Later, Luo Tong personally tied small copper tubes to the bird's feet. After a few moments, there was a sound of flapping wings, and several eagles soared into the sky, braving the night and spreading their wings in different directions.
Fly away.
"Your Highness, don't blame me when you come back. Fatty Su is the one who made the decision and has nothing to do with me."
Looking at the heroic figure of the eagle soaring into the sky, Luo Tong clasped his hands together as if praying, but what he was mumbling was completely different.
"Nonsense, you promised it first, it has something to do with Su!"
As soon as Luo Tong's words came out, Su Da immediately jumped up like a tabby cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointed at Luo Tong angrily, and accused him unceremoniously.
"Nonsense, you agreed."
"You're talking nonsense, it's you, it's you!"
…
Two senior executives, one fat and one thin, actually started to argue like children. Their unwillingness to give in immediately made all the men in black look dumbfounded...
