Chapter 980 The Last Chance
In the spacious hall, a long row of charcoal basins were burning, emitting hot heat, making the hall warm in the early spring and cold. The sounds of silk, bamboo, bells and drums were chaotic, but Li Keyong, who did not like art, felt a little dizzy. At the music troupe at the bottom of the hall, the pipa, guqin, flute and paixiao were also mixed. But the most annoying thing was the sound of the big and small drums. This sound made him feel like he had returned to the battlefield, and for no reason, when he heard the drum sound today, there was always an ominous killing in his ears. Li Keyong, who had drunk a lot of strong wine, even in his mind, even in the drum sound, he could not help but think of the past battles, and in these battle scenes, especially the scenes of him fighting against Li Jing's Qin army. It was one after another, one after another, Shuozhou was defeated, Yunzhou was defeated, and Weizhou was defeated...
To him, the music class's performance was in a mess and echoed constantly in the house. The generals of the Liang and Jin vassals were eating, drinking, making noise, and drinking, making a fuss. It was so lively.
Where did Zhu Wen find such a music class? It had such a bad tune.
While drinking Jian Nanchun, Li Keyong looked at the young dancers who were dressed in very thin clothes and almost only wore a layer of gauze at the key points. These sword girls were young and beautiful, especially the sword dancers' bodies were very tall. Unlike the weakness of ordinary women, these sword girls' figures showed a full of bodybuilding and a kind of power hidden under slimness. Although in Li Keyong's view, these sword skills were finally a bit fancy, but they made him appreciate more than those women who only knew how to dance with long sleeves.
The dancer is the best, and the sword dance is also good, but the music is so bad. I really don’t know what Zhu A-san thought. He actually found such a group of musicians. Not only did they play and sing badly. The key is that these musicians are also a group of vulgar and ugly men.
The rain outside continued to stop, and the air in Bianzhou City became more and more wet and cold. The braziers in the hall raised orange flames, emitting bursts of high temperatures. The inside and outside of the hall were completely different from each other.
The hall was large, but there were more people in the hall. Li Keyong brought 500 people into the city. At this time, Zhu Wen arranged his guards to drink under the courtyard outside, and he personally treated them with many civil and military officials of the Liang family in the main hall. Hundreds of people from the Liang family and Jin family were crowded in the same hall, not including the eighteen beautiful swordsmen and thirty-six ugly musicians. There were also maids who came and went between the host and the guest like butterflies wearing flowers.
A lot of people were crowded together, and the smell in the room gradually became stronger. It was a mixed smell, an uncomfortable smell. Li Keyong sat in the host and guest seat, and there were two beautiful women who Zhu Wen specially attracted to serve the wine next to him. However, Li Keyong did not like these two young and beautiful maids. Today, his eyes were always on the sword girl. Looking at these sword-holding dance girl, under the influence of alcohol, Liu Yunniang's figure kept popping up in his mind.
The dishes at the banquet were rich, with meat and fishy food. What was amazing was that the chef who cooked the dishes was originally the imperial chef in Luoyang's palace. However, Li Keyong was not interested in the famous dishes made by the imperial chef in the palace. He just drank, and then took a sharp blade with a roasted golden lamb leg in front of him.
Li Ke looked at Zhu Wen in the main position from time to time. He seemed to know nothing about what was going to happen next. This was a good place and it was a good time tonight. Li Ke Yong was drinking Jian Nanchun while thinking in his heart. His five hundred most elite guards were in the courtyard outside. In this hall, they were as many as Zhu Wen. But he believed that as long as he threw the cup and heard the orders, he could quickly subdue the Liang Fan people in the hall, including Zhu Wen. Kill Zhu Wen, and then control the rest of the Liang Fan generals, and announced the imperial edict and sent out a signal to summon 20,000 people outside the city to the city.
Well, everything will go smoothly as planned.
In fact, this plan is not original. When the Chu and Han Dynasty were fighting for hegemony, Xiang Yu originally planned to kill Liu Bang by using the banquet, but he didn't do it in the end. Li Jing had also done such a thing. When Li Jing was still the general of Shamen Town, when the general Song Wei of Ziqingjie and the general Wang Jingwu of Ziqingya, Wang Jingwu also set up a Hongmen Banquet in Qingzhou, preparing to fight Song Wei and others. But in the end, Li Jing saw through it and was tricked by Li Jing. He attacked Wang Jingwu first and caught Wang Jingwu off guard and seized Qingzhou in one fell swoop.
At this time, they were in Zhu Xuan's Yacheng, with more than 500 people around him. But Li Ke was very skilled and bold. In his opinion, he could do what Li Jing could do. Even if he was in Zhu Wen's territory, he could still achieve his goal as soon as he suddenly attacked. He was just waiting for a while now, and Zhu Wen and others were more drunk.
Zhu Wen had no idea about all this, and Li Ke was observing him with a sneer. The pig feeder was still laughing loudly, saying some vulgar words to make the crowd laugh unruly. This made him look down on Zhu Wen more and more. Look at his virtue, look at his men, almost all of them are thieves. Private salt dealers, merchants, thieves, horse bandits, farmers, and unsatisfied scholars... "Brother, let me introduce you to you, this is Zhu Jing, this is the sister of the sister, you and I are both a family, so I let them come and meet you."
Zhu Wen's wife is naturally the daughter of Landlord Liu. His sister Zhu Xiaomei is in her early twenties at this time. However, because Zhu Wen and her second brother left home to make a fortune in the early years, Zhu Xiaomei took care of her mother at home, delaying her marriage. Now Zhu Wen has taken over her mother's brothers and sisters, and Zhu Xiaomei has suddenly become the sister of the vassal king. Her status has become noble, but she has not yet found a suitable family.
Li Keyong frowned slightly at Zhu Wen's move. In the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty, women did not easily see foreigners. Zhu Wen's move was obviously rude and was full of nouveau riche. In particular, he was disgusted with Zhu Wen's appearance as if he was very familiar with him and called his wife and sister out to see him. He really didn't like him, and he was determined to act like an uprising brother.
"I've seen King Jin!" Zhu Liu and Zhu Xiaomei stepped forward and bowed to Li Keyong. Li Keyong was a little surprised to find that Zhu Wen actually had a jastic girl from a small family. Although she was not a Tianxiang Chinese flower, she also had a unique beauty like a wild flower. What made him a little confused was that Zhu Xiaomei was actually three-point similar to Liu Yunniang.
Zhu Wen held the wine glass, his face full of smiles, but his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Li Keyong seriously. He saw that Li Keyong was distracted when he saw his sister, and he clearly saw that Li Keyong actually grabbed his sister's hand in public.
A burst of anger surged into his heart, and then a strange look appeared in Zhu Wen's eyes.
"Yi brother, I have a proposal, I don't know if it's possible. Yi brother has no wife now and his sister Yunying is not married. Why not be as good as our two families to get together for a hundred years of Liang and Jin?" Zhu Wen smiled and suggested to Li Keyong in a loud voice, his heart was filled with some expectations. In fact, he had planned to ask his wife and sister out today. He had already found out that his sister and Liu Yunniang were actually somewhat similar. He vaguely hoped that through marriage with Li Keyong, he could form a new closer and more stable alliance relationship.
Without any last resort, he did not want to take the step he was most reluctant to take.
Li Keyong had already come back from his loss of consciousness. He looked at the figure of Zhu Xiaomei who was full of shyness and struggling out of his hand, and hurriedly left.
He only considered Zhu Wen's proposal for a moment, and then replied with a smile full of obvious sarcasm.
He clenched his fists secretly, but Zhu Wen didn't want to give up. "If the sister can marry a hero like King Jin, it would be a blessing in his previous life. Moreover, if Liang and Jin are in marriage, they will benefit from their own interests. King Jin will be a hero in his lifetime, or if he is in Liang Fan again, we will work hard to cooperate. In the future, you are in Hedong and I am in Henan. Even if Li Jing, we will not be afraid of joining hands."
You are worthy! Li Ke thought to himself. He did not answer Zhu Wen's proposal. If Zhu Wen had some suggestions before Yang Fuguang and him planned to annex Liang Fan, he might have considered it for a while. But now, is it necessary to consider this proposal? He could not stop at this time, but instead joined forces with Zhu Wen. That means that if you choose Zhu Wen, you have to go against Yang Fuguang.
Yang Fuguang and Zhu Wen, Li Keyong didn't have to consider it, nor would he choose Zhu Wen.
Brothers An Jinquan and An Jinjun sat in Li Keyong's lower head, only a few steps away from Li Keyong. Both of them drank wine tonight because the mission of the An Jin brothers tonight was to command the raid against Zhu Wen.
"If the King of Jin is willing to marry the sister of the sister, I am willing to take out five million coins as the sister of the sister of the sister!" Zhu Wen did not give up and put forward more attractive conditions. When Emperor Yizong married his most beloved Princess Tongchang, he spent five million dollars on the dowry. Although this was a huge sum of money, Zhu Wen still felt that if Li Keyong could really marry Liang Fan, then such a sum of money would be worth it.
Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong have a marriage relationship, Chengdezhen, and the two parties in the relationship between the two parties, Xiang and Tuyuhun, also have an alliance relationship. If they can really form an alliance with Hedong, even Yang Fuguang has to pay attention to their weight.
Li Keyong seemed to have not heard this at all. He just took a knife and took a leisurely piece of lamb legs, then picked up a glass of wine and drank Jian Nanchun.
This is a rejection, and it is a rejection full of insults. Zhu A-san had already narrowed his eyes, and the fist in his sleeve became tighter and tighter.
There was still a noise in the hall, and the musicians were playing the piano randomly as usual, surprisingly bad.
Li Keyong ignored Zhu Wen. After another hour, Zhu Wen's head would be out of stock. Why did he form an alliance with such a person? Wait a little longer, wait until they drink more wine, and it will be later.
The banquet not far away was still continuing, and louder noises kept coming. Zhu Wen's tooth army's golden spear accompanied Li Keyong's black crow army and was drinking and making noise.
