Chapter 217 Assassination (Thanks to Xinxin PA for the monthly ticket~)
It’s not an ordinary dance, it’s a sword dance.
Because Emperor Wu used force to quell the riots after he ascended the throne, and he himself was a person who loved martial arts very much, he still maintained the habit of boxing every day when he was over.
What goes up works and what goes down works, the Tang Dynasty at this time can be said to be very martial.
However, at the same time, the laws are very strict. In Chang'an City, any sharp blade over one foot must have a detailed explanation of its origin and purpose.
For example, all the sharp weapons used by escort masters are registered in Jingzhao Mansion one by one. Not to mention the length, even the appearance of the user is registered.
At this time, there were nine girls in thin clothes, each holding a sword about three feet long, dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo in the center. The swords used should be unedged and weigh only half the weight of a normal real sword. They are swords specially used for sword dancing.
Emperor Wu watched the soft waists of these nine girls perform various difficult movements. Although they were not as spectacular as the soldiers' martial arts performance just now, they still had a clear and beautiful softness, which was still strong and soft at the same time. Kind of beauty.
The Minister of Rites carefully observed the face of Emperor Wu, and saw that Emperor Wu also admired these sword-dancing girls, and he was relieved.
As long as you please the right and biggest boss, everyone else will be just a cloud.
As the music gets faster and faster, the swords in the girls' hands also dance faster and faster, making people wonder whether it is better to watch the swords or these beautiful girls.
Most people in the venue did not notice that as the sword dance gradually entered its exciting moment, two of the nine girls had slowly moved from the middle position towards Emperor Wu.
When the musician's pipa played a high note and the sword dance reached its climax, the two girls who had separated from the main force suddenly stepped forward with a sharp blade pointed directly at Emperor Wu's throat!
Emperor Wu discovered something was wrong a moment after these girls came on stage. When the unedged sword and the edged sword collided together, the sound of the collision was that they were both unedged. The sound of the sword hitting is different.
Only warriors who use such weapons would understand this, and Emperor Wu happens to be a person who can use Tang swords. Would she not know that there is a problem in this?
Therefore, when the two women continued to move closer to Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu was even more convinced that there was a fraud.
Emperor Wu thought that this should be the information that Wang Dajue had handed over to Xue Yao in the morning. It might have been something done by the Temple Gate.
Haha, interesting.
When the woman's sharp sword was pointed directly at Emperor Wu's throat, Wang Dajue jumped out from behind Emperor Wu without thinking and stood in front of Emperor Wu.
The Prime Minister, who was sitting under Emperor Wu, first raised his foot directly to the side and pulled Princess Taiping, and then pretended to go to Emperor Wu. But in the process, before the other ministers could Lou Shide, who was closest to Emperor Wu, stepped forward. The secret guard who had been hiding beside Emperor Wu suddenly stepped forward to knock off the sword and kicked the woman over.
Emperor Wu didn't even move. He even said to Wang Dajue who was standing in front of her: "Dajuan, you are blocking me from watching the show."
Wang Dajuan saw that the other woman was also subdued by the secret guard, and then He turned around and bowed his head to Emperor Wu, then returned to stand behind Emperor Wu.
However, at three o'clock in the morning, the sun was still radiating heat in the sky. The Annan envoy sitting at the bottom was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He was really unable to withstand this scene.
However, he was more courageous than his colleague who defecated in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in the morning. At least he was only frightened to the point of sweating and did not let himself smell bad.
The whole place was silent. The remaining seven dancers were so frightened by this scene that they dropped their swords and huddled together, shivering, not even daring to scream.
"Haha, haha." Emperor Wu's two frivolous laughter seemed particularly loud in the silent hall.
There was a "pop" sound, which was the sound of the Minister of Rites kneeling on the ground.
The Minister of Rites knelt down and kowtowed, not even daring to say a word, thinking in his heart, "It's over, it's over, I'm done."
At this time, everyone heard shouts from outside the palace. , an unpleasant smell caused by burning tung oil also came over.
After a while, while Emperor Wu was drinking his third cup, Xue Yao walked in wearing a black outfit with a strong smell of blood.
As soon as you enter the palace, you can see that the path Xue Yao walked has blood marks on it.
The civil servants did not say a word. Some people were thinking, "Hey, darling, how many people have been killed."
Xue Yao knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Wu and lowered his head. He cupped his hands and said, "Sage Bing, all the rebels and traitors have been killed." Before Emperor Wu could answer, an arrow with a sound of breaking through the air came in the direction of Emperor Wu.
There was a "pop" sound as the arrow penetrated the flesh.
With two "bang, bang" sounds, two chopped arrow feathers fell to the ground.
"Everyone!"
"Saint!"
"Aniang!"
Li Sanniang is now holding Luzhu'er, the largest in the West City The troupe sat down.
When Li Sanniang and the others arrived, Shen Qiuniang and Tu Wa were greeting people outside the venue.
Looking at Shen Qiuniang's face, Li Sanniang knew that Tuwa treated Shen Qiuniang very well.
Shen Qiuniang's face was filled with white and rosy happiness, as if someone loved her.
When Shen Qiuniang grabbed her and insisted on arranging a good position, Li Sanniang took advantage of the situation and took Shen Qiuniang’s pulse. As expected, her body’s energy and blood were replenishing well. Li Sanniang whispered to her, “You can try to have a child. "
A blush bloomed on Shen Qiuniang's happy face, and then the Li family was assigned a position in the field, although it was not the most central, but it also had a great view.
Mother Li was always willing to spend money. She took her purse before going out. When she arrived at the place, she counted out two taels of silver and asked Brother Li to take Li Dalang back to buy some snacks.
"Just eat the honeydew melon and pomegranate last time. Take a look. If there are any, buy a few more and wait to take them home for your big brother to try."
This time the picture The ticket prices for Wa's troupe have increased by ten copper coins for the worst seats. The seven or eight seats in the center cost one or two cents for the best seats.
However, after watching a third of the scene, Li Sanniang felt that the price was quite appropriate.
After all, this time, in addition to the terrifying tiger, we also got a brown bear.
Although he is a cub that has not yet grown up, his naivety is indeed endearing.
But there is still no way to hide it, it is a carnivorous beast.
Brother Li was still talking to Father Li on the sidelines: "I didn't expect that they could get such a beast. I guess they got it somewhere in the north."
"It is said in "Rihuazi Materia Medica" that bear's paw is also a good medicine with a neutral nature, sweet and pungent taste, which can protect against wind and cold and replenish qi and strength."
But Father Li remembered what was said in the medicine book. Yes, this bear paw is a rare medicinal material.
Xiao Shiro was not interested in any of this. He just felt that today was really interesting. Sitting in Aye's arms, Xiao Shiro raised his head and interrupted the conversation between Brother Li and his father. He asked Brother Li: "Aye, let's go there tonight." Don’t you want to watch the fireworks? If not, how about we go and set off the river lanterns?”
Brother Li lowered his head and asked, “Where did you know there would be fireworks?”
< br>Xiao Shiro pointed to another Xiao Lang who was about the same age as him in the front row and said: "He told me."
Thanks to Xinxin PA for voting for a monthly ticket ~ I am very grateful to Baozi for his support and encouragement to me. ~
The author of this article, that is, me, does not support animal performances.
I hope that animals can live freely in the wild or in zoos, but do not need to be trained to perform.
This article is just a novel. All animal performances in it are of the current era and are not my wishes.
