Tang Xuan

In Duke Huai's mansion, in the Tufu Hall, the banquet was in progress, very lively.

Today, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Qian held a banquet to invite his followers.In the past, the first guest of honor would be Pei Gong Shangguan Yuan, but today it is Liang Qinfang, the new commander of the Jinwu Guard.

Shangguan Yuan was a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that Liang Qinfang had just caught Emperor Ming's eyes, and he was so red that he was purple, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Speaking of which, I also had a relationship with Brother Liang the year before last. Goodbye now, I'm really like Lu Bu." The charcoal fire was burning in the hall, and Li Qian was only wearing a pair of thin coats, holding a wine glass and saying to Liang Qinfang talking. "Although you have only returned to Chang'an not long ago, there is a noble concubine on it, so there is absolutely nothing missing."

He put down his wine glass, clapped his hands and said: "However, this king has a gift, Brother Liang, don't refuse it." As soon as he clapped his hands, a dozen young women walked out from the side hall, all of them graceful and looking forward to shine .

The rest of the people in the hall put down their wine glasses and looked over.Shangguan Yuan was very sensual, and when he saw such beauties, he squinted his eyes and praised Li Qian for his skills.It is well known that Liang Qinfang is lustful.Li Qian paid such a large amount of money to invest in what he liked, which can be said to be very important.

"No matter how good the utensils are, they are all dead." Li Qian said with a smile: "These are all nobles from Pingkangfang in Chang'an City. It took me half a year to select these twelve. Now give them to Brother Liang, it is considered to be a home for Brother Liang, and buy some personal goods."

When Liang Qinfang looked at it, there were not only the dazzling morning sun, but also the leisurely flowers shining on the water.The young one looks about 14 years old, and the big one is definitely no more than eighteen.He has seen countless people, so he naturally knows that any one of these women will be the oiran of those buildings in the future.Li Qian's generosity is scratching at the tip of his heart.Since you want to accept it, it will be a pleasure.Liang Qinfang turned around and returned the salute, saying: "Your Highness is so considerate of me, I dare not refuse. It is Liang's blessing to meet such a considerate and enlightened Lord as His Highness."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qian was naturally overjoyed.Undoubtedly, Liang Qinfang was on his side, not the newly born Li Yuan.Presumably, ordinary people would make the same choice—if Li Qian wins the throne, it should not take more than ten years.But Li Yuan is still young, apart from Emperor Ming's favor, where does he have the slightest foundation?

The banquet became lively, Shangguan Yuan served wine to congratulate first, and the rest were envious at first, and then remembered that the benefits they had received in the past were no better than the twelve concubines, so they calmed down.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Qian fell on the chair and listened to the music intently.Liang Qinfang couldn't bear it any longer, hugged left and right in her arms, raised her hands up and down, almost wishing she could do something on the spot.And he was not stupid, he only picked the two he liked the most, and sent the rest to the waiters, and after the banquet was over, he went home and enjoyed them one by one.

"Speaking of which, there is no news about the Huakui Qinshu in Anxianglou back then." It was Pei Qing who spoke, but he was really fascinated by Qinshu for a while, but he didn't know that Qinshu belonged to Li Qian.

Li Qian kept his expression on his face. After searching for a long time, he failed to find out the whereabouts of Qinshu.After Qinshu's mother was killed, her body was thrown into the wilderness, and after a while, she was quietly taken away without leaving any traces.

"It's said that Qin Shu offended someone, and I don't know how it disappeared. The old bustard said that he was redeemed by a merchant from the Western Regions with a huge sum of money." Shangguan Yuan naturally knew that Qin Shu was related to Li Yu, but he didn't know the whereabouts of Qin Shu .He said with a smile at this time: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid everyone doesn't know." He gestured seven times, and continued in a low voice: "This master was once a guest of Qinshu. If it was really bought by a merchant, Tasting what has been enjoyed by the sons and grandsons of the dragon is also considered his fortune."

"You strike from the bottom up with your sword, if the opponent is stronger than you and slashes down, how do you resist? If the opponent uses a heavy long weapon, how about striking the side of his weapon with skillful force, causing his moves to be unstable and revealing his flaws. It is safest for the opponent to leak a flaw, and then use footwork and sword moves to quickly defeat the enemy."

In the small courtyard of Chongming Pavilion, Lang Huai was pointing to Mingda's sword.She has already learned the basic moves and footwork, but in terms of mastery, Mobi can handle real martial arts.This heavy burden naturally fell on Jun Tao Junlan.But Tao Jun is currently competing with Mingda in the arena.

Mingda listened to Lang Huai's pointing, a cunning flashed between his brows, and he took half a step back, tricking Tao Jun into stretching his arms.Then she listened to Lang Huai's words and hit Tao Jun's long knife with all her strength. As expected, Tao Jun couldn't hold it steady, and his footsteps wobbled.Amidst Mingda's chuckle, he really made persistent efforts and knocked out his weapon.

"Master, it's not okay to be partial like this." Zhu Jun pursed his mouth beside him, Lang Huai was afraid that her subordinates were not important, so he didn't allow her to end.Mr. Zhu knew what she was thinking, and was even more eager to try.

Mingda held the dagger upside down, turned his head to look at Lang Huai, only to see that there was approval and pride in her eyes, he couldn't help turning his head back.She looked at the sword as a cover-up, and said, "Azhu, you come too."

Zhu Jun didn't wait for Lang Huai to answer, he took the long sword and jumped off the field, and fought Ming Da.Her skills are the best among the four, and she is not Tao Jun's way of fighting on the battlefield, and she is quite dissatisfied with Mingda because of Lang Huai, so it is not very lenient to strike.It was the first time for Ming Da to deal with this kind of opponent, and he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.Master Zhu's long sword was getting faster and faster, and there were infinite secret moves hidden in the sword moves. After only a dozen rounds, Mingda had already shown signs of defeat.

"Mr. Zhu withdraws!" Lang Huai frowned and shouted, Mr. Zhu just ignored him, intending to defeat Mingda and make her suffer.She changed her sword move again, and suddenly brought the sound of wind and thunder, but it was Mr. Zhu's special skill - Gale Wind Sword.

Now even Lan Jun had a bad intuition, and shouted: "Azhu! Don't be rude!" Lang Huai's expression changed even more. You must know that Mingda has only been practicing swordsmanship for less than a year, and he was sick and wasted a lot of time. The day is inaccessible.She didn't care to stop drinking, and flew into the arena.

Mingda really couldn't catch it, seeing the opponent's long sword all over her eyes, but she didn't know where to resist her short sword, so she couldn't help but close her eyes.With her temperament, she would never throw the sword and admit defeat, even if she died, she would never do such a futile thing.However, in a hurry, she heard the sound of metal intersecting in her ears, and then she was hugged around the waist, and the whole person flew up and backed up.Opening his eyes again, Lang Huai had already smashed Zhu Jun's Gale Sword with his move, and the flying sword fell into a pond not far away.

Mr. Zhu's complexion turned red for a while, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Lang Huai said coldly: "You commit the crime first, and think about it for half a month behind closed doors."

"Sister Ah Zhu is just testing my skills, how can I improve if I don't have a good opponent?" Mingda felt uncomfortable, Lang Huai had already let go of her, his face flushed, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and coughed repeatedly.

"Master, I..." Mr. Zhu took two steps closer, and was about to continue, but saw blood oozing from Lang Huai's fingers, and said with wide eyes, "Master!"

Lang Huai raised his hand, wiped his lips, and said, "It's okay, I accidentally bit my tongue." She didn't turn her head, but said, "I've got your sword, come see me in half a month." Mouth back to his room.

"Sister Zhujun..." Mingda felt a little sorry, and said, "I will tell her to let you go earlier." After all, Zhujun is Lang Huai's servant, and she is not good at talking about it, so she can only comfort her in this way.

Mr. Zhu snorted, turned around and jumped into the water to retrieve the sword, before leaving, he said to Tao Jun, "Master's body is not in the right way, please be careful."

Tao Jun naturally agreed, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him here, he winked at Lan Jun, accused him and went to find Lang Huai.

Li'er took a handkerchief to wipe Ming Da's sweat, Ming Da felt helpless, looked at Lan Jun and said, "What's the matter, Ah Zhu? She seems to hate me very much."

Lan Jun sighed and didn't explain much, just said: "Madam, don't argue with her, she has a good heart, but she does things without hindrance or scruples."

"What do I care about with her?" Mingda sighed, "It's just that I don't know what she cares about me."

Tao Jun entered the room, saw Lang Huai sitting on a chair, coughing lightly with his mouth covered, hurriedly stepped forward and poured a glass of warm water, and said, "Master, take your pulse."

Half a glass of water was poured down, and there was a fishy smell in his mouth. Lang Huai frowned, opened his cuffs, and said, "Look and see."

After holding his left hand, Tao Jun took his right hand again, and his heart grew more and more frightened.Lang Huai knew that his body had changed just by looking at his expression.She didn't care about it herself, and whispered: "Tell the truth."

"Master, from your pulse condition, you can see that your insides are exhausted, and you are very short. Now your body is not as good as before." Tao Jun thought about it, but seeing Lang Huai's penetrating eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but speak more and more. The younger you are, the less you dare to speak.

"Xiao Taozi, I still like Anxi better. At that time, you would never play tricks on me." Lang Huai lowered his head, paused for a moment, and said, "But because of the medicine?"

Tears welled up in Tao Jun's eyes, and he said, "Master, it's a small mistake. Listen to me, the medicine is the reason, but it shouldn't be the case. You are only eighteen, and you will get better if you take care of yourself."

Lang Huai patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of crying, but you are very afraid. Just grab the medicine, is the master still afraid of drinking medicine?"

Tao Jun wiped his eyes, responded, thought for a while and said: "Master, let go. The stagnant air in your chest is blocked, and you must not act rashly."

Lang Huai waved him out.When she was alone, her face was finally no longer confident and proud.

With a tired and sad face, Lang Huai raised his head and put his arms on the armrest, his whole body was like a plate of loose sand.These days, Mingda deliberately avoids being alone with her, she sees it, and naturally avoids it for her in advance.

However, the feeling is that seeing the person you like is in front of you, but you can't show too much affection, you can't rub hands with her, you can only watch quietly across the gully.

As the night gradually filled in, Lan Jun walked in quietly, but saw Lang Huai sitting like this, already asleep.Putting down the lamp in his hand, Lan Jun saw that even though she was asleep, her eyebrows were furrowed, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, without any relaxation.

Lan Jun sighed, gently helped Lang Huai onto the bed, took off her robe, boots and socks, untied her fur hat, and covered her with a brocade quilt.

"Master, let's take a break." Lan Jun thought about Mingda, and Zhu Jun who had just closed the door and thought about the past, looked at Lang Huai.I'm afraid their master doesn't understand that Mr. Zhu's abnormality is out of love for her.

Now she is Mingda's personal maid, but she knows that the two are in love and cannot break free.What Lang is thinking, Lan Jun can understand without guessing.And that one, I'm afraid she is still in a daze.

The word love is the most difficult to crack.Lan Jun was an onlooker, but he knew that if these two people missed each other, even the Bodhisattva would not be able to bear it.

However, the gap between them had to be crossed by the two of them in order to be complete.
