Chapter 203 Chapter Twelve

Due to the role he is currently playing, Xu Ziling can only sit in one of the three East seats on the side. Fortunately, he is not on the same stage as Li Jing, otherwise it will be easy to show his flaws. He and Chen Changlin sat on Linglongjiao's left and right sides, opposite Xing Mofei and the two Tuyuhun beauties with talking eyes, and the others were children or cronies of the chairman after self-introduction. Of course, those who can sit with Rong Fengxiang are important people, including Li Shimin, Tu Li, Wang Bo, Song Lu, Liu Jing, Fu Qian, Ouyang Xiyi, but Feng Daoren and the other three prominent figures in Luoyang, but Rong Fengxiang's wife was missing.

Kou Zhong was arranged to sit at the same table with Yun Yuzhen and Hou Xibai, fortunately he and Yun Yuzhen were separated by Zheng Shiru, so it was inconvenient to talk, otherwise he might not be able to hide his anger and turned against her at the table. Bai Qing'er and Zheng Shuming sat across from him, they were enemies, so they were jealous.But surprisingly, Zheng Shuming only talked and laughed lightly with Bai Qing'er as if he didn't exist. After everyone was seated, Kou Zhong realized that the seat on the right was vacant, and asked the waiter, the maid only said that he followed the housekeeper's order, and didn't know anything else, which made him puzzled.

After Zheng Shiru had a few perfunctory words with him, he struck up a conversation with Hou Xibai and Yun Yuzhen, and ignored him, and he was so happy that his ears were clear and his eyes wandered around. At this moment, Rong Fengxiang stood up, raised his glass happily, and said, "Today is the day when someone Rong surrendered fifty years ago. Being honored and favored, I would like to borrow a glass of water and wine to express my gratitude to everyone." Everyone stood up to pay their respects, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, with the sound of compliments and wine fights.

After a while, everyone returned to their seats. Rong Fengxiang smiled mysteriously and said: "Before the dishes are served on the table, someone Rong will give you a little surprise for the honored guests, please Miss Shang Xiufang." Amidst the applause from the crowd, the band played vigorously, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Hou Xibai's eyes were even more strange, and he waited intently for the prostitute to perform. As soon as Shang Xiufang appeared on the stage, beauties such as Dong Shuni, Rong Jiaojiao, and Yun Yuzhen lost a little color. When it comes to beauty and beauty, all the girls have their own characteristics, it is difficult to judge who is superior, but Shang Xiufang's unique charm and demeanor can compare all the girls.

She is obviously better at sad and lingering ditties, so this time singing happy birthday songs, although it is still very good and pleasant, Kou Zhong always feels that it is slightly inferior to yesterday's performance in Shangshu's residence. But since she spoke, almost everyone in the hall listened mesmerized, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were the two exceptions. Both of them were in a mood that resisted joyful tunes. Xu Ziling took the opportunity to calmly observe the reactions of the chairpersons at the four tables. The one with the most devoted expression was Hou Xibai, who almost looked like he was about to dance to the song.Although Li Shimin and Fu Qian listened attentively, they were still calm and calm.The others were different in form and spirit, but they were all moved by Shang Xiufang's almost fairy-like quyi and graceful dance. Hong Ling swallowed it in one gulp.

Shang Xiufang's captivating pair of water-shearing pupils, matched with the movement of her figure and expression, kept sweeping towards the mat, making the younger generation who were less able to control even more fascinated.As soon as the song is over, the applause is like thunder, and the applause is deafening. When the lingering sound was still lingering, Rong Fengxiang personally left his seat to greet him, and sent Shang Xiufang to the empty seat next to Kou Zhong. After all the men stood up to welcome him, Rong Fengxiang gave Kou Zhong an ambiguous look , said with a smile: "Brother Kou, give this old man a good greeting to Miss Fang."

In this way, everyone at the banquet knew that Shang Xiufang was sitting next to Kou Zhong, it was not a random arrangement. After the introduction, Shang Xiufang sat down, and Rong Fengxiang left.Before Zheng Shiru sat still, he regarded Kou Zhong as nothing and praised Shang Xiufang non-stop for her sex skills. Although Hou Xibai looked at Shang Xiufang with a smile on his face, he didn't show any signs of haste, and had an excellent demeanor. I don't know if this table was arranged intentionally or not, most of the guests are female guests, only Kou Zhong, Zheng Shiru, Hou Xibai and two other sons from Luoyang's rich and powerful families had to accompany the last table.

Dishes were being served continuously at this time, while the crowds coming in from the front and middle halls to toast kept flowing, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a peak. Rong Fengxiang had a very good capacity for alcohol, and he would not refuse anyone who came, but occasionally asked everyone at the banquet to drink for him. Of course, the one who drank the most was Wang Shichong beside him. Xu Ziling saw all the scenes in his eyes, secretly thinking that Rong Fengxiang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he looked a bit like trying to get Wang Shichong drunk.However, Wang Shichong's skills are profound, and he is an old man, so he should have his sense of proportion.

While thinking, Linglongjiao approached him and said, "Why were you so indifferent to Shang Xiufang's singing just now? Do you think she can't sing well, or do you not like music?" Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had been paying attention to himself, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just prefer to listen to tunes that are sentimental and resentful." I couldn't help but recall Shi Qingxuan's moving flute sound. Linglongjiao said with fascination: "The southern moon in Kunlun Mountains is about to slant, and the shepherd blows hujia to the moon. Hujia Qiang flute, the sound is the most mournful. You must listen to it if you have a chance."

Shang Xiufang over there finally found a chance to talk to Kou Zhong, and said in a low voice: "I live in Manqingyuan, if you are free tomorrow, can you find some time to meet me? Xiufang will be there the day after tomorrow. Go to Guanzhong!" Kou Zhong didn't expect her to look forward to it so much, he nodded his head slightly, which was his agreement. Then he found that Zheng Shuming, Bai Qing'er and Yun Yuzhen were all staring at them.He had no choice but to hope that the three women would not be able to hear Shang Xiufang's invitation to him because of the crowd and noise. Even he himself didn't quite understand his fear of being known.

At this moment, the door official sang loudly: "The commander of the imperial guards, the general of Youwuhou, Dugufeng, has arrived!" Everyone was stunned. Surrounded by four courtiers, Dugu Feng boldly entered the hall and said in a loud voice: "Dugu Feng was ordered by the emperor to come here to celebrate the birthday of the honored boss, and to present a jade tree on behalf of the emperor. " He turned a blind eye to Wang Shichong, and seemed to only see Rong Fengxiang in his eyes. At this moment of presenting gifts, Li Shimin and other outsiders all avoided the side as usual, and all the subjects under Yang Tong's rule, including Rong Fengxiang, all knelt down to welcome the gifts bestowed by Yang Tong.Only Wang Shichong and a group of followers remained, not knowing what to do. In a sense, Wang Shichong still served Yang Tong as the main force, and even forced the imperial palace, he only claimed to capture the two "treacherous ministers" Yuan Wendu and Lu Da, rather than openly rebelling. At this critical time of life and death against Li Mi, if he publicly expresses his true position, he will not be justified, and he may lose the support of some Luoyang soldiers and civilians, which will be harmful rather than beneficial. If you want to abolish Yang Tong, you must have a plan first, and you can put it into practice when the time is right, but no matter how you plan now, you will be humiliated. Thinking of this, Wang Shichong stood up and knelt beside Rong Fengxiang. Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu had no choice but to do so. Kou Zhong and the others are guests, so they only need to avoid the table, and they won't attract attention. Dugu Feng was very proud, and shouted: "Everyone is safe!" Wang Shichong stood up angrily. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling screamed fiercely, Shen Luoyan saw their strategy of "showing the enemy weakness", and used this method to dampen their morale and vigor. Dugufeng took the brocade box from the waiter, and handed it to Rong Fengxiang who knelt down to receive the gift, and the ceremony was over. Holding the brocade box in his hand, Rong Fengxiang said with a smile: "Master Dugu, please stay for a glass of water and wine." Dugu Feng Gu Pan laughed proudly and said: "Little brother has the emperor's life, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time, everyone please!" Without waiting for Wang Shichong to have any chance to fight back, he left so proudly.Rong Fengxiang hurriedly saw them off. After everyone was seated again, Wang Bo suddenly burst into laughter, and said to Li Shimin, "Didn't your dear brother Yuchi want to play with this old man? Why don't you take this opportunity to let this old man learn from you." The noise in the hall stopped immediately. No one expected that Wang Bo would take the initiative to challenge him, obviously Yuchi Jingde cared about his "disrespect" very much. Before Li Shimin could answer, Yuchi Jingde, who was sitting next to him, stood up eagerly, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, please give me some advice!" After finishing speaking, he strode to the space between the chairman and the lobby, with an extremely mighty expression. Everyone was in awe of his bravery. One must know that Wang Bo's reputation was great, especially above Li Mi, Du Fuwei and others. The "Dingshi whip" in his hand was also known as the number one whip in the world, so it was only Yuchi. The courage to respect virtue and not fear a powerful enemy is already extraordinary. Wang Bo smiled slightly, left his seat calmly, walked towards Yuchi Jingde, and said happily: "Today is a happy day for Brother Rong, so our competition is just for fun, and we can only stop after the point. What does brother Yuchi think?" These words came out of his mouth leisurely, which further brought out his demeanor and respected status. Yuchi respectfully saluted and said, "Senior, please be merciful." His answer is more decent.Everyone knew that he was just saying politely, not really afraid of being hurt by the other party.But it can put a lot of psychological pressure on Wang Bo, expressing that you should win, and you will lose your reputation if you lose. Kou Zhong pays special attention to Li Shimin's expression, seeing that he still maintains his usual calmness, without the slightest sign of nervousness, he can't help but feel dark in his heart. The reason why Yuchi Jingde dared to provoke the war first, of course, Li Shimin had to nod to succeed, and why he targeted Wang Bo so much, there must be a deep meaning in it. Yuchi Jingde stared at Wang Bo who was standing still about ten paces away, and shouted, "I've offended you!" Swipe to the left waist, long whip in hand. Wang Bo's eyes fell on his whip, and he said indifferently: "What's the name of this whip?" Yuchi Jingde raised his right hand, which had been wrapped around the whip for several times, and the whip straightened up straight as if by magic, and it slanted up to the top of Wang Bo's head. , Senior, please give me your advice.” He didn't shake the whip back, as if he was holding a black iron rod more than two feet long, people couldn't believe that it was a long whip, but this persistent internal force has already made many masters in the room. The master's onlookers looked at him with admiration. Under the light, the protruding dots above the suction cups are reflected all over the whip, which is strange and inexplicable. Wang Bobing laughed and said, "What a whip!" Then suddenly moved quickly, approaching the opponent like flowing water and clouds, the middle finger of the right hand snapped, and attacked Yuchi Jingde's empty door, unexpectedly did not pull out the famous whip. Change suddenly. The Guizang whip, which was originally slanted in mid-air, suddenly turned into a circle of whips that circled several times on the top of Yuchi Jingde, and then moved to his chest, one circle after another, towards Wang Bozhi's middle finger, miraculously Skill to the extreme. Everyone had already guessed that he was skilled in whipping, otherwise they would not have dared to accept Wang Bozhi's challenge, but they still did not expect that his whipping technique is so superb, it has reached the realm of everyone who can do whatever they want. Kou Zhong couldn't help exchanging glances with Xu Ziling who was looking towards him, and he could see the surprise in his heart.No wonder Li Jing wanted to persuade them to leave. A solemn look appeared on Wang Bo's face. It turned out that when the finger wind he issued pierced the first whip ring that Yuchi Jingde greeted, the force generated by the whip ring was cut by nearly half, until it penetrated into the fourth whip ring. When circled, the finger wind had disappeared without a trace.With his sophistication and deepness, he couldn't help but be shocked. He tested the depth of the opponent's skills, and he has reached the point where he can compete with himself.Even if it is not as good as it is, it is not far behind. This is completely beyond his expectations. Wang Bo yelled loudly, took a strange step, and flashed to the opponent's right side, his right hand shrank sharply, and at the same time, a white shadow flew out of his sleeve, pointing towards Yuchi Jingde's right neck in a strange wave-like route. , as fast as a spirit snake, and seems to be able to change direction at any time, containing a domineering power that is poisonous and fantasy, and cannot be resisted. For a moment, the strength invaded, and the chill came out. The Whip King, who has been famous for decades, finally revealed his famous Whip. There was a burst of thunder in the hall. This move is really unexpected, with Yuchi's ability of respecting virtue, but also because of this senior master's footwork, technique and astonishing innate energy, he can't find a way to fight hard for a while.Quickly dodged sideways, the tip of Gui Zang whip seemed to have eyes, first dived down, and when it touched the ground, it went up obliquely, and hit Wang Bo's lower abdomen, which was a fierce attack-against-attack move. The two fought against each other with only two moves, but everyone felt breathless. Wang Bo sneered, Dingshi whip retracted into his sleeve like a snake, his left hand pinched the fingers into a knife, and slashed down on the whip tip of the opponent's attack with ruthless precision and speed. There was a thunderous muffled sound as they collided with each other. Yuchi Jingde's whole body was shaken, he took a half step back, his eyes shot out majesticly, the long whip turned into thousands of whip shadows, and covered Wang Bo like a torrential rain and wind, he must take the offensive by force, with unparalleled power, He was not frustrated at all because of his weak skills. Kou Zhong and the others all nodded their heads in approval. Only by taking the risk of attacking can they restrain Wang Bo's elusive and unpredictable whipping technique. Wang Bo laughed, and in the midst of the opponent's whip, he poked six or seven times in a row with his right middle finger, each finger pointing accurately Hitting the enemy's whip, but one finger is stronger than the other, is indeed a man who has no vain reputation under his prestige, not a man who has earned his vain reputation. But Yuchi Jingde was able to force him to use all his strength, which is enough to move the world. Yuchi Jingde yelled again, the whip changed again, his right hand grasped the handle and the end of the whip at the same time, he penetrated the body of the whip, and with his left hand holding it, it seemed like he was waving a soft iron rod that was ten feet long, towards the whip The opponent uses a set of strange stick moves that can be rigid or flexible. Wang Bo was inexplicably shocked. He is a great expert in whipping, no matter how unpredictable the opponent's whipping is, he can see through the opponent's subsequent changes in the blink of an eye.So up to this point in the fight, he already had a chance of winning, but he didn't know that the opponent would use the whip as a stick, the change was no longer the standard of the whip method, it immediately made him grope again, and his dream came to nothing. At this moment, he knew better that this young opponent was extremely intelligent and definitely not someone to be bullied. He was also forced to make a response, with both hands out at the same time, chopping and clapping suddenly, the strong wind rushed to his ears, and he used his overwhelming palm strength to deal with the opponent's overwhelming attack. Rong Fengxiang returned to the inner hall at this time, and stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back to watch the battle, not showing the slightest surprise, on the contrary, he seemed to have known it would be like this. "puff"! Wang Bo slammed his palm on the whip, the force penetrated through the stick, the whole whip bent, Yuchi Jingde fell back. When others were worried about him, Wang Bo's Dingshi Whip flew out from his left sleeve, aiming at the opponent's throat, and hurried over. Exclamation sounded. Yuchi Jingde's whip lightly flicked away from his right hand, and hit the stabbed tip of the whip.So far, this is the first time the two whips have confronted each other.
