Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Yangtze River Dinner

Amidst the sound of drums and music, Han Bolong walks like a tiger. Fan Liangji, Zuo Shi, Rourou, Zhaoxia in Goguryeo women's clothing, Xie Tingshi, Chief Secretary of Shandong Province, Chen Lingfang, Dusi Wanrenzhi, Ma Shoubei, and Fang Yuan Counselor Surrounded by the crowd, he proudly entered the magnificent cabin decorated with lights and festoons. At this time, the six guest tables, except for the platform on the right of the main stage, were full of young and old from nearby government offices and beautiful prostitutes who accompanied the wine. Seeing them coming in, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

A band of nearly 20 people in colorful clothes stood on the left side of the door, playing vigorously. When Han Bai and others stepped onto the main stage and stood in front of their respective seats, Xie Tingshi and Wan Renzhi turned back to the guest stage seats originally set up for them. All the officials did not expect that Xie Tingshi, who was at least three ranks higher than them, suddenly appeared, and they were all shocked. You must know that the six local officials who hosted a banquet tonight for Han Fan and others, even Hu Jie, the admiral of the navy, was only the sixth rank, Xie Tingshi But it is a grand palace of the third rank, which is only two ranks lower than Hu Weiyong's first rank. How can those government officials from the seventh and eighth ranks and the officials under their jurisdiction who are much lower, not respect them in awe.

The ceremonial officer serving the banquet sang loudly: "Welcome Mr. Pu Wenzheng, the special envoy of King Zhengde of Goguryeo, and toast!" At this time, beautiful prostitutes had already come to Han Bai and the others, offering good wine, while giving each other a lot of glances. The famous prostitutes toasted each other, and after drinking three cups, they sat down happily. Of course Han Bo sat in the middle, Fan Liangji was on the left, Chen Lingfang was on the right, the three girls sat in the back row, six cents waited on both sides, serving everyone, and behind the stage were Fan Bao and other masters.

Fan Liangji whispered next to Han Bo's ear: "Strange! Why haven't Hu Jie and his people arrived yet?" Han Bai said: "Did you go to the bilge to search for people?" Fan Liangji scolded with a smile: "Then he must be born with low bones, he even has to clean the toilet by himself." Two people but felt very proud of being able to speak vulgar language on such an occasion, and laughed. The music stopped. Chief Secretary Wan Renzhi stood up, and after a few opening remarks, he briefly explained the reason for Chief Secretary Xie Tingshi's appearance, and then introduced the leading officials of each station one by one.

Starting from the second station on the right, there are Bai Zhili, governor of Raozhou Prefecture, Legui, governor of Linjiang Prefecture, Li Chaosheng, governor of Jiujiang Prefecture, Zhang Lang, governor of Anqing Prefecture, and He Shoujing, governor of Fuzhou Prefecture, plus Wan Renzhi. He and Hu Jie entertained about six of the most senior local officials including Han Bai. The introduction is over. A team of jugglers came in, tumbling and jumping, making all kinds of thrilling and funny moves, among them two little twin sisters, performing cartilage kung fu, won the most applause and applause, and the girls who served the banquet even laughed. The flowers and branches tremble randomly, adding a lot of fun and excitement.

Only Hu Jie's one still had more than a dozen empty chairs, which was an eyesore. Han Bai wandered around and saw that the most beautiful of the prostitutes who accompanied him were only middle-aged, he was very disappointed, and asked Chen Lingfang, "Where is Bai Fanghua?" Chen Lingfang whispered: "Not yet! This lady is famous for her airs, she has never tried to be punctual, and she has no affection for anyone." Seeing Han Bai looking around, Wan Renzhi thought he was asking about Hu Jie's whereabouts, and after the jugglers left, he said loudly: "Your Majesty has just received a summons from Mr. Hu Jie, because he is waiting for a special trip from the capital to meet Mr. Special Envoy. As for the important person whom I met, so I came later, as for who the important person is, Mr. Hu Jie is very secretive, I am afraid that he wants to surprise Mr. Special Envoy."

All the officials were stunned, they couldn't guess who could make Hu Jie greet him so specially. Han Bai and the two on the left and right looked at each other, but their hearts were awe-inspiring. Who is that? Fan Liangji stood up and said loudly: "The most important purpose of our special envoy to lead the people to the south this time is of course to offer the longevity ginseng to the emperor of Guichao. The other purpose is to make friends." He shouted to the stage: "Come here! Offer presents." Tingting, who was pretended to be a maidservant by the four Angry Jiao gangsters, stepped out from behind the stage, holding seven precious brocade boxes, and entered the arena.

Fan Liang was extremely high-spirited, and he foamed and said: "Before arriving in your country, the special envoy discussed with the subordinate officials what kind of gift we want to be appreciated by our friends. The gift, return it to the person.” Originally from the Han Dynasty, from time to time there are rare treasures from noble countries, which have been exiled to our country. Our envoy is the richest man in Goguryeo, so we opened the treasury, selected hundreds of treasures from them, and brought them to our country. , as a gift to all the high-ranking officials and friends as a meeting gift, come here! Present a gift."

The governors of all capitals thanked him politely, and the four maidservants presented gifts. Xie Tingshi laughed and said: "Your Majesty is so generous, I thank you on behalf of all my colleagues." Holding up the brocade box, he said, "What is in the box that falls like a hand?" Fan Liangji laughed and said, "You're welcome! Please open the brocade box and have a look!" All the officials hurriedly opened the brocade box, and they were all dumbfounded after looking at it. The three-colored pony of the Tang Dynasty is actually contained in the box of the five governors, and it is the best at a glance.

Wan Renzhi's gift was the celadon vase of Xiu Neisi, an official in the last dynasty. You must know that there are very few porcelains handed down by Xiu Neisi in the world, so this porcelain vase can be said to be priceless. Xie Tingshi's is a pair of small jade horses from the Han Dynasty, which is even more precious and rare. Amidst the envious voices of other little Pi'er, all the officials smiled and expressed their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts. The atmosphere is so harmonious. After drinking for three rounds, the guard at the gate sang, "Miss Bai Fanghua is here."

The audience immediately fell silent and focused on the main entrance. Han Bai's eyes widened even more, and he looked at it momentarily, feeling very excited. The welcome music played, and a beautiful woman in her twenties, with a graceful figure and a beautiful fragrance, put her right hand lightly on the shoulder of a pretty maid, and walked into the hall timidly, followed by the other two. The beautiful maid, with a handful of jade flutes and a handful of lyres, is so stylish, it seems that her status is far higher than other girls in the field. Han Bai looked at it with the eyes of an expert, and couldn't help but be moved. The other party had a particularly attractive temperament. He was busy thinking about the reason, and suddenly found that Bai Fanghua's walking posture was very beautiful, coupled with her extremely moderate figure, formed a beautiful appearance. A coquettish and coquettish attitude. Bai Fanghua didn't lose her composure at all because of being the one in everyone's eyes. Her bright eyes swept Han Bai's face first, and said with a blessing: "Fanghua sees the special envoy, and I hope you will forgive Fangfang for being late." Han Bai seduced her with his eyes so that there was not much left, and he hurriedly said, "No blame! No blame!" Suddenly there was a pain in his back, it turned out that Zuo Shi pulled out his hairpin and stabbed him hard in the back. Bai Fanghua saw that he was a pervert, and cursed secretly, before saluting the other officials. The officials are not much better, they are all fascinated, even Xie Tingshi is no exception. Chen Lingfang sighed next to Han Bo's ear: "She makes me want to see Lian Xiuxiu even more." He still couldn't let go of the fact that he missed Xiuxiu that night. Of course Han Bai understands how he feels, Bai Fanghua is already like this, and Lian Xiuxiu, who is more famous than her, can imagine that he can't help feeling itchy. The three girls behind him wished they could give this lustful husband a good beating. At this time, someone picked up a cushion and a long table, and asked the maid Anqin to play the flute. Bai Fanghua's eyebrows suddenly showed a lot of resentment, and she mentioned Yuxiao. The three pretty servants backed away, and she was left standing in the field by herself. Everyone didn't expect her to perform as soon as she came up, and they all held their breath and waited quietly. Bai Fanghua's Wang Rong suddenly stretched out again, her brows were affectionate like spring returning to the earth, and she blew softly. The voiceless sound that seems to be absent, from far to near, from slow to sudden. A light and soothing tune floated back and forth in the hall.Turning the sound of the flute again, the jade face turned from joy to sorrow, and the tone also became sad and resentful, just like a beautiful woman in Huaichun waiting for her lifelong love. Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, even Zuo Shi and the other three daughters were no exception. "Ding ding dong dong!" Bai Fanghua sat down and chanted softly: "Jujube flowers are falling in rustling clothes, carts are ringing in the south of the village and north of the village, cucumbers are sold in cow clothes and ancient willows. The wine is sleepy and the road is long and sleepy. People in Rigao are thirsty and miss tea. Knock on the door Ask the savages." The piano sounded again. What he played was "Recalling the Former Residence", with cadence and ups and downs, thinking about the past and cherishing the memory, refreshing the heart and lungs. When the sound of the piano stopped, everyone was very moved, and it took a while before they clapped their hands and applauded. Bai Fanghua stood up slowly, and the three maidservants and servants hurried over to take the qin and flute and other things. Han Bai and Chen Lingfang applauded desperately, Fan Liangji screamed strangely again and again, and the atmosphere was pushed to the most enthusiastic peak. Bai Fanghua's beautiful eyes turned around, and finally fell on Han Bai's face. At this moment, Han Bai managed to remember that she might be a spy sent by Shurangama, and he calmed down and said: "Miss Bai's skill on the zither flute is unparalleled in the world." Fan Liangji added: "All the girls in our country's art academy have been compared." Bai Fanghua said: "Thank you for the envoy, please let Fanghua respect the envoy." The officials knew that she had always been extremely arrogant and never showed any color to men, but now she was uncharacteristically, and couldn't help being surprised. At that moment, one of the three maidservants accompanied by her came to her side with fine wine, and walked with her to the main stage. She is swaying in lotus steps, and every step is extremely beautiful and tender, just like the Lanzhi fairy grass swaying in the breeze, it is so weak that it can teach people to love and love. The fragrance hit, and Bai Fanghua stood in front of Han Bai. From a distance, she is so charming, but from a close look, it is even more unbelievable, her skin is so tender, especially she always has a kind of fragile and morbid beauty, which makes Han Bai almost want to call his mother. Bai Fanghua stretched out her jade hand, filled the pot with both hands, and handed it to Han Bai, saying, "Please envoy!" Seeing her sleeves slide down to reveal a pair of jade arms like lotus roots, Han Bai sniffed her unique fragrance, swallowed his saliva, and was about to take the wine when he suddenly saw her lowered, bright and beautiful eyes passing by. Seeing the contempt of the inspector, his heart was shocked, knowing that this pretty woman looked down on his lust, anger welled up, he snorted inwardly, took the wine coldly and drank it, deliberately not touching her alluring fingertips. Everyone applauded. After Bai Fanghua made a toast, she still had no intention of leaving. Chen Lingfang stood up in a daze and said, "Miss Bai, please sit down." Bai Fanghua glanced at him, her beautiful eyes clearly sent a message, that is, how can I sit in your hot chair? Chen Lingfang was full of joy in the end, and hurriedly called people between him and Han Bai like an empty chair. Bai Fanghua didn't refuse, and graciously sat beside Han Bai. Fan Liangji and Han Bai exchanged glances, both were puzzled, and also thought that it would be very inconvenient to have Bai Fanghua by his side. Xie Tingshi raised his wine and said: "Being famous is like meeting each other. Let me offer a toast to Miss Zi." Bai Fanghua took the wine handed by the maid with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone couldn't help applauding with her unrestrained and charming posture, and the atmosphere became lively again. It was a dance troupe composed of more than a dozen beauties, flying into the arena like butterflies to the sound of music, holding a lupine, singing and dancing, full of audio-visual entertainment. Han Bohe had seen such a scene before, his eyes were wide open, and he deeply felt that being the special envoy was not too bad. He deliberately didn't look at Bai Fanghua, and turned to look at the three women. Seeing that he still remembered to look back and care about them, the three girls all sent him sweet smiles and winks. Han Bai was overjoyed, resisting the urge to stretch out his hands to pinch their faces, and said, "Have you been drinking?" Roumei shook her head and said: "How can I watch so many good things with you here when I'm drunk." At this time, Bai Fanghua leaned over, and Qin whispered into his ear: "Why can the special envoy and wives speak Chinese so well?" Fan Liangji leaned forward and looked over, and he replied in a hesitant manner: "Miss Bai doesn't know something. We specially sent my grandfather to be Han Chinese. To avoid the war in the Central Plains, he came to our country to take root. Naturally, he can speak Chinese well. As for the three wives?" , are all the wives and concubines that the special envoy took in your country, and they are originally Han Chinese." Bai Fanghua's pretty eyes glanced at the three women, surprise appeared in her eyes, she thought to herself that this special envoy must be very capable of dealing with women, otherwise how could he be favored by such attractive beauties, and there are three more, and Fan Liangji asked with a smile: "Why is Master Guard's Chinese so good!" Fan Liangji rolled his eyes and said nonsense: "I am the champion candidate of the Chinese language competition held by our country just for this mission, of course I have a certain weight." Han Bai and the three girls behind him almost sprayed wine. Bai Fanghua smiled mysteriously, sat back in the chair, and looked into the field, making people unpredictable. Another round of applause erupted in the audience. It turned out that the singing and dancing prostitutes threw away their feather fans, took out three-foot-long ribbons, and danced the ribbon dance. Under the bright lights, the colorful ribbons turned into more than a hundred dazzling patterns. A moving scene. Han Bai couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Zi Fanghua, and saw that the outline of her side face was as clear as a knife, and it was so beautiful.Compared with the three women behind her, she couldn't help but feel itchy, and purposely leaned into her ear, took the opportunity to sniff the aroma of her temple hair, and said: "Although Miss Bai is very respectful to this envoy on the surface, I really look down on this envoy at all in my heart. !" Bai Fanghua's delicate body trembled, and she returned to calm again. She turned her head and said with beautiful eyes, "Why does the special envoy have such strange thoughts?" Han Bai saw his protruding soldiers, which made her react in a panic. He took a sigh of relief, deliberately sat up straight and looked into the field, shrugged and said, "You give me that feeling." Bai Fanghua's heart was in turmoil, because she really looked down on lustful men like the other party, and it was the first time for her to point out this face to face, and said slightly annoyed: "The special envoy must give me an explanation, otherwise Fang walks away without hesitation." At this time, the drums were playing loudly, and everyone was clapping and applauding. Except for Fan Liangji, even Chen Lingfang who was sitting on the other side watching the singing and dancing could not hear the explosive conversation between the two of them. Han Bai remembered that the other party was so beautiful, but he was being Shurangama's pawn. He became angry for no reason, and turned his head to look at her. The strange light in his eyes pierced into the frosty and snowy eyes of this beautiful woman, and he smiled, "Even if I don't answer, Regarding this question, miss, she is afraid and reluctant to leave!" Bai Fanghua's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said calmly, "Is the envoy so confident in himself?" Han Bai's heart arose again, he almost leaned over his head, kissed her, and said with force: "Why did Miss Bai come here tonight? Is there anything that tempts you here? Of course! It can't be me." Fan Liangji who was beside him gave him a pat to show his praise. Bai Fanghua was slightly astonished, and couldn't help but look at this person again, only to see that after the other person was no longer obsessed with sex, there was a sense of wonder, his eyes were extremely radiant, full of enthusiasm and frankness, and there was a kind of difficulty The innocence of the description constitutes a very unique temperament. His heart was shocked, and he lowered his head to perform gentle tricks, and said quietly: "I didn't offend you, did I? Why are you so aggressive, are you satisfied if you are forced away?" Han Bai felt angry when he remembered that she was a strict person, and his heart didn't soften in the slightest. He said coldly, "Did you really offend me? Miss Bai, please reflect on yourself!" There is no politeness in these two sentences. Bai Fanghua has always been conceited of her beauty and talent. No matter the high-ranking official or the overlord of the rivers and lakes, they always try to please her when they see her. stand up. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave his seat, Han Bai grabbed his jade arm and pulled him back to sit. Bai Fanghua's jaded face turned cold, and she said in a low voice, "Let go!" Han Bai withdrew his big hand with a smile, and said, "I'll keep you once, if you want to leave again, I won't keep you anymore." Bai Fanghua was confused by him, and said angrily, "What do you think of him?" After speaking, his heart trembled, knowing that he had actually controlled the other party's initiative and controlled his emotions. Fan Liangji's voice came into Han Bo's ears and said: "Good boy! You really have a set of pungent magic weapons for picking up girls." Han Bai is even more complacent. What means does he actually have?Just thinking about how to tease this evil beauty, just for fun.Anyway, she is an enemy and not a friend, so what if you offend her? Bai Fanghua urged: "Master Special Envoy hasn't answered my question yet?" Han Bai spread his hands and said, "Both each other! You didn't answer my question, and I didn't answer your question. The two are even, and neither one owes the other the answer." Bai Fanghua was so angry that she turned her face away from him in annoyance, but she didn't shake her seat again. At this time, all the girls danced, and after saluting, they took back the feather fans on the ground.She smiled and walked out the door. The music stopped suddenly in a round of sharp drumbeats. Cheers and applause sounded. Han Bai shouted exaggeratedly on purpose, but he peeked at Bai Fanghua with sneaky eyes, as if to say, "I'm not wrong! You don't want to leave." The latter was so angry that he almost wanted to bite him and take him with him. Bloody flesh comes. The ceremony officer guarding the gate sang loudly: "Master Leng Yan, Commander of Imperial Imperial Guards, and Lord Hu Jie, Commander of the Navy, have arrived." The audience was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. This is an "important person" that no one expects to show up. Apart from Hu Weiyong, the hottest celebrity in front of the Emperor's Throne is here! Chen Lingfang's expression changed drastically, and he looked towards Han and Fan. Han Fan looked at each other face to face, unexpectedly meeting the most difficult character so soon.
