Tang Xuan

Li Qian, who was not far away, just got out of the car. He was dressed in Su satin clothes, and he glanced at Lang's two carriages with a half-smile.Holding Li Hang in her arms, Liang walked up to him and said, "Your Highness, are you waiting for the Six Kings?"

"What are you waiting for him to do?" Li Qian rarely showed tenderness towards Li Hang, hugged Li Hang carefully, said something in his mouth, and was greeted by Lu Zhong who was waiting, and went into the palace first.

The carriage was quiet for a long time before being pushed away from inside.Lang Huai poked his head out, jumped out of the carriage first, and turned around to help Mingda down.The two looked at each other and smiled, and waved to Lao San Lu who was not far away.

Lu Laosan is on duty today, wearing heavy armor, because in the palace, it is inconvenient to carry the Mo Dao that he just hit, so he only carries a horizontal sword.He smiled and said to Tuoba Yiyang beside him: "It's so beautiful."

Isn't it?Both of them are dressed in crimson purple bearded clothes, bearded boots with raised heads, and leather belts around their waists.Lang Huai's hair bun is meticulously hidden in the bun.Mingda combed the Orchid Orchid's hair accessories, his long hair was all braided and scattered around his waist, and a golden wreath from the Western Regions fell on his forehead, inlaid with shining gems.

Seeing the two approaching slowly, Tuoba also said: "It's beautiful!"

Lu Laosan was as careful as a hair, and when Lang Huai approached, he could see that there was something wrong with her expression.But Tuoba was on the side, so he could only ask with his eyes.Lang Huai remained calm, exchanged a few words with them, and said a word very quickly when they were about to part.

"Protect the East Palace."

Lu Laosan's back tightened, and he exchanged colors with Tuoba Yiyang.It seems that today is sad!The palm of Lu Laosan holding the knife was full of sweat, and his heart was agitated.

Lang Huai held Mingda all the time, whispering his own words all the way.Before he knew it, he had already passed Longwei Road, Lang Huai turned around and glanced at him, thinking of everything: "When I came back for the first time that year, my father told me not to look left and right, and to be more cautious."

Mingda said: "Do you like it?"

Lang Huai never hesitated: "I don't like it."

Mingda said calmly, "I don't like it either."

"Big Brother has been trapped here for 30 years, Dad has been trapped for a lifetime, and Brother Seven has been trapped for half his life." Ming Da said with emotion, "It's fortunate that I jumped out, otherwise..."

The two of them suddenly felt lucky, smiled at each other, and walked hand in hand into the well-arranged hall.

Today is the Ming Emperor's [-]th banquet, besides Duke Qi Wei Qianyi, Duke Lu Wuhe who hasn't shown up for a long time is also here.Lang Huai followed the inner eunuch to the second row from the left, and helped Ming Da to sit down.Li Qian had been sitting in the second row on the right for a long time, chatting and laughing with Tatuo Tu.It wasn't until the two of them were seated that they greeted loudly: "Sister-in-law is here? How are you doing these days?"

Mingda twisted his head and said: "Naturally, Fourth Brother Lao is concerned." She raised her wine glass and toasted from a distance: "Through Daddy's birthday banquet, my little sister, I wish Fourth Brother a safe body and good luck forever."

How could Li Qian not hear her sarcasm?It's just that I don't care much about thinking that I will be the only one in the world after today.Picking up the wine glass and Mingda smiled, Li Qian suddenly remembered that when Mingda was four or five years old, he once mischievously climbed up the plum tree.At that time, Li Yu and Lang Huai were still young, Li Yu's face turned pale under the tree, and Lang Huai hurried to call the guards.He was holding a book not far away and was fascinated by it. When he saw it, he was frightened. He dropped the book and ran under the tree.

The little man was not afraid, he stepped on the branches to reach the unripe plums, muttering nonsense, "I can pick them too, I don't ask you, etc."How could it be so empty?Li Qian's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he threw himself under Mingda with all his strength, feeling her small body firmly on his back, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't remember the pain at all.

"Fourth brother!" The little girl lay on his young shoulders, pinched his ears with her tender hands, and said with a giggle, "Damn it!"

The past cannot be traced, and the fine wine in his mouth flows down his throat. Li Qian thought that if he had known that Mingda had brought him such a big trouble, maybe he would not have saved her like that?

Emperor Ming came by stepping on the sound of bells and drums, his beard was completely gray, but he looked much more high-spirited.After many etiquettes, Emperor Ming clapped his palms, raised his spirits a little and said: "Everyone, be more wanton, how can you be happy when you are restrained?"

The real banquet began. First, the disciples of Liyuan performed "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array".The melody of Kucha is high-pitched, and after being modified by Emperor Ming, it is even more powerful and earth-shattering.

Lang Huai relaxed his waist, indulged in this kind of music and dance, and was dizzy for a while. "Si, it turns out that music and dancers can swallow mountains and rivers with anger." She was a little emotional, clasped Mingda's hand and said, "I'll be free from now on, how about teaching me?"

Mingda replied: "Why is this difficult? If you want to learn, I will teach you tomorrow."

After the breaking music, there were music and dances presented by various countries.Emperor Ming's fondness for pleasure was well known throughout the world, so he spared no effort to please him.Emperor Ming became more and more complacent when he got dances from all over the world.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.Li Yuan and several emperors and grandchildren were a little sleepy, so Li Qian asked for permission from the Ming emperor, and the princess would accompany the crown prince to take them back to the East Palace to resettle them, and we will talk about it tomorrow.Li Jin pulled his wife away and said something in a low voice, Xiao Shi nodded, and led his children to follow without saying a word.

Then Li Qian said: "Father, my son has a gift that has been prepared for several years. It finally came true this year, and I want to dedicate it to Father today. But I have to ask Father to move, please come with you Watch outside the palace!"

Emperor Ming was in a good mood, he put his arms around Concubine Liang's fragrant shoulders, saw Liang Qinfang's face turned pale, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you and Qinfang are talking about some crazy idea?"

"Your Majesty's gaze is like a torch. Your Highness's filial piety conflicts with the palace rules. In order to help His Highness, I have to make an exception." Liang Qinfang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If you still want to punish after seeing it, then I will admit it!"

This really whetted Emperor Ming's appetite, he let go of Concubine Liang and stood up, saying: "Since that's the case, I won't miss it! Qian'er, if I am good, I will definitely reward you generously."

Li Qian was extremely confident, and said, "Father must be satisfied."

The guards rearranged the square outside the Hanyuan Hall, and the Emperor Ming sat in the center with Concubine Liang beside him.Prince Li Xun's desk table is at the right hand of Emperor Ming, and it is Lu Youlin's apprentice Lu Zhong who is following him.

Everyone did their job according to their order, and the guards lit countless torches, making the originally gloomy sky a fiery red.Emperor Ming was aroused with curiosity, and leaned forward. Lu Youlin was afraid of the cold night, and was taking a cloak for Emperor Ming to put on.

As the music sounded, many dancers suddenly appeared from the south. Most of the women were strong and vigorous, and the occasional appearances under the veils turned out to be orchids.The golden waist chains around their waists are decorated with gemstones of various colors, which set off a different style under the firelight.

Emperor Ming shouted loudly: "Good!"

Then there were more than a dozen well-dressed men, holding decorative knives in their hands, and sang Cang songs handed down from the Western Regions.

The sound of the xun gradually rose, and the last dancers appeared on the stage. They turned out to be horses with the appearance of a dragon.The black horses danced with the song, and the male and female dancers rushed to their horses, cooperating tacitly.

It is also like a lover who is reluctant to say goodbye, or a smug businessman, or a soldier who is about to go to the battlefield.As the music changes, the scenery presented by the dancers becomes more and more exciting.

The matter of dancing horses was a good story shared by Empress Jiang and Emperor Ming.Afterwards, Emperor Ming was hurt by the scene, and the dancing horses were neglected in training, and this grand event has not been performed for many years.

Emperor Ming was very excited, his eyes were half sad and half excited, as if the woman he loved the most in his life was still by his side.

The music changes again, it is Jiangnan minor.There is new rain in the empty mountains, the sails of the river are moving, the pear blossoms are married, and the beauties comb their hair lazily.The leading woman took the wine bag from the horse, took the eight-petal gold cup from the handle of the horse, and poured it into wine-red wine.

The dancer danced on the spot, and the horse twirled along with the tune and followed suit, slowly walking up the imperial steps.Lu Youlin's expression tightened, but Emperor Ming didn't care, and murmured in a low voice: "Jiao'er..."

At the beginning, Empress Jiang trained a horse that knew how to toast in this way, but since Yi Ren passed away, there was no resentment left, how could it not make people feel hurt?

The steed bowed humbly, and the wine glass hung in front of Emperor Ming.For some reason, the emperor burst into tears, and his mind was already wandering.

The music stopped, and Li Qian left the table and bowed down, saying loudly: "I wish my father a long life!"

How often do people hear about it?Everyone was intoxicated by the bliss, and Li Xun lost his mind for a while.Lang Huai said inwardly that he was bad, and it was too late to stop him.

Emperor Ming took down his wine glass undefended.The cup has eight petals, and each petal is engraved with a picture.Or men and women riding boats, or wearing red sleeves to add fragrance, or galloping in the hunting grounds... all of them are obviously the costumes of him and Empress Jiang.Lu Youlin didn't have time to taste the wine, Minghuang had already drank it all.

Lu Youlin was tongue-tied and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules..."

Emperor Ming waved his hand, sat down again, and sighed, "I haven't seen the horse dancing with the cup in it for more than ten years. Qian'er, you have a heart. What reward do you want?"

Li Qian raised his head, with a humble expression, and said: "Father is happy, and my son is already satisfied!"

Seeing that Emperor Ming's expression remained the same, Li Xun and Lu Youlin breathed a sigh of relief.Concubine Liang peeled off the orange peel and brought the orange petals to Emperor Ming's lips.

"I ask you, what reward do you want?" After saying that, Emperor Ming took a bite of the sweet orange petal, and had already lost all doubts about Li Qian.

Li Qian stood up slowly, patted the dust that was barely visible at the corner of his robe, and said, "I still have a gift, my father will discuss it after seeing it?"

Emperor Ming nodded, and after Li Qian clapped his hands, the men in costumes took some things from their horses and walked into the arena, lighting them with flint.

The fireworks bloomed instantly, and the sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky.Lang Huai suddenly stood up, his expression had changed.

A gorgeous lotus flower pattern gradually appeared in the sky, and Emperor Ming couldn't help being overjoyed, but he didn't see the black hand deep in the darkness at all.

The surrounding guards and the dancers suddenly drew their weapons and attacked the civil and military officials.The toasting woman rubbed her waist and jumped up suddenly, holding a sharp long needle in her hand, it went straight to the center of Emperor Ming's eyebrows.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Youlin fought desperately, straightened his back that had been bent all his life at this moment, protecting Emperor Ming behind him, the screams were covered by the sound of firecrackers, and did not spread far.Li Xun didn't even think about it, and when the assassin was about to fight again, he put on the bunk, which relieved the urgent need.Tuoba Yiyang drew thousands of knives, and joined forces with Li Xun to kill the assassin on the spot.Li Xun was in a mess, coughing, and Tuoba guarded Emperor Ming one after the other.In his panic, Emperor Ming hugged Concubine Liang Gui, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest.

In the midst of this chaos, Lang Huai kicked over the table in front of him and protected Mingda behind him.The disparity between the enemy and ourselves was too obvious. Li Qian obviously wanted to hit the target with one blow. He first used the dancing horse to arouse the emperor's mind and lowered his guard, and then assassinated him.

Li Qian's dead soldiers were well-trained, poor Lu Gongwu Qiao hadn't caused any embarrassment for several years, but he was the first to die tragically.Lang Huai didn't dare to delay any longer, so he took out his pottery whistle and blew it.She made a few gestures, and both Lan Jun and Zhu Jun took out the hidden soft sword from his waist, protecting Ming Da and fleeing.

Mingda didn't love to fight much, he just held Xialang's palm tightly, and the purple figure quickly disappeared into the distance before closing the encirclement.Excited, Lang Huai drew his sword out of its sheath, and quickly rushed to the imperial steps, guarding Emperor Ming Li Xun and others retreating into the Hanyuan Hall.

"Where is the tiger!" The sound of firecrackers gradually disappeared, and the opportunity never came again, Lang Huai yelled violently, and immediately there were soldiers in the Jinwu Guard with purple belts around their arms, formed an army formation, and retreated steadily in front of Emperor Ming.

Li Qian was guarded by the dead, and slowly retreated.Soon he put on his armor and sat upright on his horse.The gate of Hanyuan Hall closed slowly, Li Qian sneered and said, "Attack!"
