Chapter 20 Chapter 3: The Peerless Tyrant’s Wine Pond, Meat Forest, and Snake Pond

Hu'er giggled, ran up and down to several large copper pillars nearby, stared at it for a while, but showed an intriguing smile. Those big copper pillars were as thick as two people hugging them, iron chains were wrapped around the copper pillars, and for some reason there were charcoal racks at the bottom of the pillars. Wu Huan saw these copper pillars from a distance, and was also curious, so she also walked over to touch the smooth pillars, but she had no idea what they were. "What a big copper pillar, but I don't know what it is used for." Hu'er smiled: "I've heard my father talk about this thing a few times, but it's the first time I've seen it. I think people in Chaoge City call it 'Pao Lao'."

"Pao Lao, then the charcoal fire below is really used for burning?" Wu Huan wondered, "Why do you put such a thing in the palace?" "My father said that this is used to restrain those disobedient courtiers. As long as someone is disobedient and sentenced to 'cannon fire' by the emperor, he will be brought here to be punished." "Punishment?" Wu Huan asked in surprise, "Are these instruments of torture?" "The people who were tortured by 'cannon fire' were tied naked to these pillars, and then put charcoal on the bottom of the pillars," Hu'er said calmly, as if he was just telling a joke: "The copper pillars haven't burned red yet. People are burnt! In this way, he will not be able to mess with the emperor!"

This was the first time Wu Huan heard of such a cruel punishment, she couldn't help opening her tongue and widening her eyes. "What's so surprising?" Hu'er wondered, "Isn't the emperor like this? If you don't obey, you should be divided into corpses by five horses..." For some reason, Wuhuan suddenly felt a sense of disgust and unhappiness, and he backed away slowly, as if he could still hear the tragic cries of countless innocent souls from the "Pao Lao". "Are you afraid?" Hu'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't think the cannons in the palace have been used before. No one has died here, so you don't have to be afraid."

Wu Huan wanted to say that she didn't avoid it because she was afraid, but felt that it was meaningless to say so, so she nodded and left "Pao Lao" with a step. Going to the side of the main hall, there is a big pool there. The water in the pool is like a mirror, but it has an unusual color.Beside the pool, there are more elegant mountain and forest scenes made by master craftsmen, but there are many unusual things hanging on the trees. Wu Huan stared at it curiously, only to find that there were pieces of bright red raw meat hanging on the tree.He walked a little closer to the pool, and before he reached the edge of the pool, he already smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Hu'er walked over from a distance, looking at the strange pool, rockery and forest, but his voice came to Wu Huan's ears leisurely. "The tree is hung with raw meat, and the pond is full of fine wine," she said with a fondness for her family: "Today's son likes to be lively at banquets, and this is the 'wine pond' and 'meat forest' that he loves most. " Wine pool, meat forest! Wu Huan had heard these two unimaginable things in many legends about the lewdness of Chaoge City, and knew that they were absurd things created by King Zhou when he felt that the eunuchs who served wine and meat were too slow in their hands and feet during banquets.

Moreover, I heard that this wine pool and meat grove was used by King Zhou when he danced all night in the palace in the valley near Chaoge City, but the palace known as the "City That Never Sleeps" was mysteriously buried by the sky full of yellow sand in a storm , Never see the sun again. Therefore, at that time, people in Chaoge City had rumored that this was a bad omen of the emperor's failure of morality. If he did not repent and repent, there would be even more tragic disasters. However, such a warning sign is completely innocuous to King Zhou. He still holds feasts day and night, sings and dances day and night, and intensifies, setting up wine pools, Meat forest!

Such an emperor, such a country. What's even more strange is that there is still a large group of courtiers who are still loyal to King Zhou, and their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people.There are also those common people who still live helplessly in these places where they may die at any time, but they refuse to leave and go to other countries. Just like that, Wu Huan stood in front of the wine pool and thought about these things in vain, but he might not feel any melancholy or sadness. He grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he was exposed to knowledge that was beyond the times. I don't have any particularly strong feelings about the rise and fall, I just feel that mortals do things really weird.

When he was on the mountain, Wu Huan sometimes came into contact with some ghosts. Although his father and the old man Wukui were both killed by ghosts, compared with some strange things in the world, those ghosts are weird and behave by nature. But they can still be understood, not as complicated and difficult to understand as human affairs. Seeing his pensive appearance, Hu'er sneaked over mischievously and stood behind Wu Huan. Although Wu Huan was engrossed in his thoughts, he still saw her figure. "What?" he frowned. Hu'er laughed loudly: "Do this." Then he pushed Wu Huan into the wine pool, with a "plop", the liquid was splashed all over the floor, and the intoxicating aroma of wine filled the air for a while.

Although this accident came suddenly, Wu Huan was not at a loss. He also went swimming in the streams in the mountains and forests, and his water skills were pretty good.It's just that swimming in a large sea of ​​wine is an unprecedented experience. Wu Huan was not too fond of alcohol, but since he was in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he couldn't help but drink a few sips. The fox clapped his hands and laughed loudly on the bank, and then jumped into the wine pool with a "tong", and the two splashed each other in the wine, having a great time. Although they didn't drink like a cow, the two of them had a little wine in their throats while they were splashing, and after playing for a while, they felt slightly drunk.

In the strong smell of wine, Wu Huan felt a little heat on his face, and also felt a little dizzy. The second girl, Hu'er, played in the wine for a while, and the stains on her face were washed off before she knew it. At this moment, she was also slightly drunk, but she still couldn't help splashing it on Wuhuan's face. Reflecting the light of the wine, Wu Huan looked at her, feeling stunned. Hu'er's whole body was soaked with wine, her face was slightly red, her skin was delicate and fair, and after washing off the dirt on her face, her eyes were big and lively, flowing like starlight.Her nose is small and tall, but her face is delicate and oval. At this moment, her cherry lips are slightly parted, revealing her beautiful teeth like braided shells.

This little beggar who was dressed in filth at first turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman! Hu'er gave Wu Huan a coquettish look, the waves in her eyes were like cream, soft and greasy, but smooth as spring breeze. "What are you looking at? You!" Wu Huan was still there for a long time, then murmured: "You...you are so beautiful..." Hu'er glared at him, dived into the liquor, and slid to his side. "Did I say I'm not beautiful? It's just that I'm a little dirty and poor, but I didn't say I'm not beautiful!" These words seemed to be a little forceful, but Wu Huan didn't realize it, and just stared at her blankly. As the saying goes, men know Mu Shaoai because they are lustful.Although Wu Huan has extraordinary insight and knowledge in his chest, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy.For a moment, all he could see was Hu'er's incomparably gorgeous and peerless face. For a long time, there was not a single sound heard in the entire palace, except occasionally the melodious sound of two people's hair dripping into the wine pool. Wu Huan stared at Hu'er for a long time before she came back to her senses, remembering how she lost her composure, she couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment on her blushing face. Hu'er came over, stretched out his hands, put them around his neck, and said softly, "Am I beautiful?" Wu Huan was intoxicated and nodded. Hu'er showed a smile like a peach blossom, and asked again unrelentingly: "How beautiful?" "It's so beautiful... so beautiful..." Wu Huan stretched out his hand a little hesitantly, wrapping her arms around her slender waist: "It's a beauty that I can't describe or describe even if I use up all the words in the world." "do you like me?" Wu Huan nodded: "I like it." "Then... if one day I'm not by your side, will you remember me?" "You...will you not be by my side?" There seemed to be an imperceptible tremor on Hu'er's body, and he forced a smile: "I mean, if." "I don't want to have ifs, and I won't let you leave my side." "Will you always remember the night we were together?" "meeting." "Is this one night of me enough to make you miss me forever?" "Not enough, I want to be with you for the rest of my life, that's enough." The young girl Hu'er smiled poignantly, there was a faint bead of wine on her face, and there was also a shallow smile.She closed her eyes, the wine still had tears on her face... For a moment, Wu Huan felt that reason was still in her mind, and she also felt that there was something she shouldn't do.But Hu'er won't know these words, she hugs Wuhuan tenderly, humming a song softly. Humming and humming, the lips of the two got closer... Beauty is like fine wine, and fine wine is like a beautiful woman. Between heaven and earth, since human beings have civilization, the two biggest temptations are in front of Wu Huan. Not to mention that he is an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy, even a prudent adult gentleman may not be able to control it. . Hu'er's tongue is soft and warm, and there seems to be a faint fragrance of flowers flowing between her teeth and cheeks. Wuhuan allows her to kiss her softly, but her heartbeat is getting faster and faster, and her face is getting more and more flushed. What surprised him even more was that a paralyzing heat surged from the depths of his body at this moment...
