Eastward Flow

Chapter 66

Cheng Wen, who was in charge of all the songs for this banquet, heard the young man's words, and responded with a smile: "Young master wants to present Yunge, and we will naturally be able to play it, but Yunge is Yunzhou drum music. Wait until today without drums."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Yunzhong, who was looking eagerly at Zhonglisuo, quickly stood up and said in a hurry, "I have drums, Mr. Su, do you want the drums from Yunzhou?"

"It's the best." Zhong Lisuo glanced at King Yunzhong with his alcohol-smelling eyes, and after receiving the instructions, King Yunzhong hurriedly gave the order to have the drums he had prepared lifted up.The eldest princess looked at him in surprise, but saw King Yunzhong walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards Zhonglisuo.

"Does Mr. Su need someone to play the drums?"

At that time, the soldiers were carrying the two snare drums to the stage. After they were placed, they respectfully waited in the audience with the drum hammers.At that time, Zhong Lisuo was taking off his coat and tucking the coat into his belt, revealing the crimson arrow robe on his upper body.

The boy is as tall and straight as a bamboo, and is dazzling in bright clothes.King Yunzhong came to her through the crowd, smelling the strong smell of alcohol on her body, he couldn't help feeling a little drunk.Zhong Lisuo raised his eyes, looked at the younger brother who walked in, and said with a smile, "I know how to shoot, and I don't mind if the King of Clouds wants to come."

As she spoke, she walked up to the soldiers, took off the drum hammer that was thicker than her forearm, leaped onto the stage with one stride, stood in front of the snare drum, and cast her bare eyes on Xuan Jingchen .

Cloud King followed closely behind, holding his drum hammer as if he was having fun, and stood in front of the snare drum on the other side.He raised his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the eldest princess, and gave her a reassuring smile.

The young man in scarlet clothes was stained with wine, and his beautiful dark pupils were somewhat blurred.She looked at Xuan Jingchen, her undisguised friendship was burning like fire.

Everyone could see what was in her eyes, including Xu Renqing.Xu Renqing, who put away his long sword, sat down and looked at the frank and passionate young man, and his eyes fell on Le Zhengying. Seeing her drinking like a cover, he couldn't help smiling.

He really is a young man, so frank and enviable.

As he thought so, his eyes fell on Xuan Jingchen who was sitting on the main seat.At this moment, Xuan Jingchen met the young man's eyes.The boy's crimson clothes were reflected in her eyes, as if a fire had been lit.

Everyone was looking at the boy, none of them did not understand Yun Ge's meaning.They all vaguely knew what the young man in front of him wanted to express to the queen.

The face that was vaguely remembered in many people's minds suddenly became clear in their eyes, and the ministers cast their eyes vaguely on the empress, and then on Zhenbeihou.

Zhenbeihou, who was only slightly surprised for a moment, then showed a happy smile.He looked at the youngest son standing on the stage, and said loudly: "Su, what are you looking at, don't you want to dance?"

His sudden call made Zhong Lisuo turn his eyes. Zhong Lisuo held the drumstick and looked at his father, but met an encouraging look.

This expression made Zhong Lisuo relax, and she couldn't help laughing too.She looked away, did not look at the others, and focused on Xuan Jingchen.

It seemed to be an illusion, the queen's eyes seemed to be all on her.Zhong Lisuo took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Wen who was not far away. With just one look, Cheng Wen received his message.

The musician in front of the chime made a light tap, and Zhong Lisuo and Zhong Limu who was beside him looked at each other. At the same time, he raised the drum hammer in his hand and slammed it heavily on the drum.

With a bang, the young man raised his head, his eyes fixed on Xuan Jingchen.The woman sitting on the throne met the boy's gaze, and her heart suddenly missed half a beat.The young man smiled suddenly, and kept his hands on, a series of quick drumming slid over.

When Cheng Wen heard the sound of the drum, he felt happy for the boy's innocence, and even took the chime and beat it for the boy.

Yun Ge is not only a set of dances, but also a very classic drum music.In the custom of Yunzhou, on the day of marriage, the couple must beat the big drum to welcome their partner.Over time, it became a song for young men and women to express their love.

After a section of drums stops, it ends with chime bells.The young man in scarlet clothes swung the drum hammer and struck a series of drumbeats fiercely. Zhong Limu beside him smiled and followed her rhythm, as if he was accompanying his mother when he was a child. The two looked at each other. , turning around tacitly.The moment the figures met, the drum sticks touched, hitting a cheerful beat.

The young man was swaying, and beat back and forth between the two big drums close together.The combination of Tao Xun and xylophone made the boy's drum sound more cheerful.Zhong Limu smiled, and next to Zhong Lisuo, the two exchanged positions again with the sound of the drum, and danced with the drumstick in hand.

They took a step forward, their eyes were lustful like wolves, and they passionately expressed their fiery hearts to the woman they admired.

Many young men and women present blushed from the straightforward eyes of the siblings. Zhong Lisuo smiled and stared at Xuan Jingchen with a hint of alcohol, as if he was going to burn her.

I am Haoerlang from Yunzhou, and I am unparalleled in the world for my bravery.

The beautiful and good girl on the opposite side is willing to follow me back to my hometown.

I know you are good in every way, and will make the family happy and happy.

But I also have a lot of good things, and I can live happily ever after with you.

This is Yun Ge, showing the boy's love without a doubt.I don't just like you, but I want to ask you to spend my life with me.

The loud drumbeat spread outside the palace, and Zhong Licheng, who easily broke through the first line of defense, was attacking the fragile second line of defense.Yang Yuting led the golden robed guards back to the palace quickly, but was stopped by another wave of rebels.

"It's Yun Ge." After beheading the last golden-robed guard holding a sharp sword, Zhong Licheng held up the bloody sword and said with a smile, "Such cheerful drums are coming to welcome me."

As he said so, the soldiers who blocked Yang Yuting pretended to deal with it for a while, and then quickly rushed towards the palace.Even Zhong Licheng didn't notice that although the group of people wore his same primrose uniform, they used different colored tassels.

The palace was still full of noise, as if they were completely unaware of the approaching danger.The young man's love was kindly forgiven, and the grown-ups, who could hear the passion, cast their eyes on the queen.

The same is true for the Eldest Princess. She looked at the young man on the stage, and from the corner of her eye, she secretly fell on Miss Huang.But the queen seemed to be covering up, reaching out to take the cup in front of her.

Her hands were shaking and she nearly knocked over the cup.The eldest princess was surprised, and seeing the queen's expression, she keenly noticed something was wrong.

Xuan Jingchen was trembling, and what caused her body to tremble was the heart that was suspended high.The young man's gaze was undisguised. She looked at the other party's agile and powerful figure, and her heart was completely seized.

Everyone was happy for this cloud song, but she was the only one who was so excited that she was about to cry.

If she still misunderstood the other party at this time, then she really stayed with Zhong Lisuo for so many years in vain.

That is……

The teenagers smiled and exchanged positions again amidst the joyful sound of xylophones.The moment the figures intersected, an arrow feather came from outside the palace and pierced fiercely between the two of them.

"Your Highness!" With Xuan Jingchen's depressing cry, Zhonglisuo's moving figure suddenly stopped and fell heavily to the ground.

"Assassins, there are assassins!"

All of a sudden, the hall was in a panic, and the musicians' tunes were messed up. At this moment, Xu Renqing jumped out with a sword in his hand, and stood in front of the queen.

The teenagers protected the eldest son, Xu Renli pushed aside the crowd and rushed towards Zhong Lisuo who was on the stage.Zhong Limu was stunned by the sudden situation. He looked at the young man lying beside him, threw away the drum hammer, and leaned over to hold him in his arms.In the noise, he looked at Zhong Lisuo and frowned, tears quickly filled his eyes, and he shouted helplessly, "Su... Su..."

"Protect Your Majesty... Protect Your Majesty..."

The ministers shouted, covering his voice.

"Where is the golden robed guard... the golden robed guard enters the palace..."

Zhenbeihou stood by the queen's side and protected her, but Le Zhengying pushed aside the crowd and walked towards Zhong Lisuo.

The gold-robed guard in heavy armor quickly entered the palace, raised his long sword, but surrounded everyone in the palace.

The ministers looked at each other, and the second arrow came soon.The arrow feather aimed at Zhong Limu again, but the archer was shot to death with the second arrow.

It was Yang Yuting.

In the dark night, Yang Yuting, a hundred-step piercer, shot and killed the archer who was aiming at Zhong Limu with one arrow. Frowning, he raised his bow and arrow, and aimed at the man who was walking into the palace swaggeringly at the moment.

That was his close friend who once stood side by side with him, but now he is a man wearing a golden robe guarding the palace.

Xuan Jingchen was surrounded by people, his calm eyes were full of panic at this moment.She walked through the crowd and looked at Le Zhengsu who was held in Zhong Limu's arms, her heart was tightly clenched.

Zhong Licheng came from outside the palace gate, glanced at Zhong Limu on the stage, and appeared in the eyes of everyone holding a bloody sword.

He stood in the hall, looked at the protected queen, and said with a smile, "Empress Zhaodi, your golden-robed guard is here."

"Bold! Rebellious officials and thieves, are you Jinpaowei planning to rebel?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei scolded angrily, but saw the golden robed guards surrounded all the ministers. The instigator, Zhong Licheng, shook his head and said, "No, no, I just came to return to my country of Chu."

"Empress Zhaodi, do you still remember Emperor Zhao who was poisoned to death by you? Today, I came to collect debts from you on her behalf."

Zhong Licheng looked at the ministers who were looking at each other, stood in the hall with a sword as a stick, and said loudly: "I am the grandson of Emperor Ling of Chu, the son of King Zhongzhou of Great Chu, Zhong Licheng. Come from the country of my family!"

"Qinghuang, I have issued an order to sin against myself, and return my Zhong Lijia Jiangshan!"

"You deserve it too!"

The ministers shouted, but Zhong Licheng took a jade seal from the golden robe guard behind him, held it up high and said, "This is the jade seal of the Great Chu Kingdom, everyone, don't regard me as the master."

In his hand, the jade seal shone slightly.

The ministers were shocked, but they heard him say: "Emperor Qing, issue an edict to abdicate and return the government to Chu!"

Tonight, the entire Xishan Palace is under his control. As long as he can hold on tonight and kill Xuan Jingchen, this matter can be successfully concluded.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Mingyi who was in the crowd. Xu Mingyi glanced at him, walked out from the crowd, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please abdicate and return the Chu State!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by the Minister of Rites: "Old thief Xu, you are begging for glory!"

Xu Renqing frowned, and subconsciously took a step towards the queen.

The empress looked at him coldly, but saw one official after another coming out, shouting in unison: "Please return Emperor Qing to the state of Chu!"

Seeing this, Zhong Licheng laughed, "You poisoned Emperor Zhao for the sake of the throne, and forged the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to ascend the throne. Xuan Jingchen, why don't you issue an edict to abdicate yourself?"

The empress looked at these people coldly, she was prepared in her heart, she sneered and said: "Want me to abdicate? Who else, please stand up. I want to see, who else can't see me sitting in this seat! "

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a weak but majestic voice: "Abdicate? You rebellious officials and thieves are also worthy of saying these two words?"

Xuan Jingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at the stage, only to see Zhong Lisuo, who was holding an arrow, stand up with Zhong Limu's arm, and looked coldly at Zhong Licheng who was under the stage.

"Zhonglicheng, you want Emperor Qing to abdicate and return the government to Chu. Even if you return the government, it's not your turn to shout."

"The King of Clouds is still here."

"You, Zhonglicheng, are just a descendant of a rebellious minister, so you deserve the surname Zhongli?"

There was half an arrow feather broken off on her shoulder, and the blood soaked her crimson clothes, making her pale little face as cold as frost.
