The 453rd chapter sacrifice (7)
There was a rough scene in the central army's tent. The chairs on the upper throne were covered with animal skins and animal minions on both sides as decorations. The two rows of braziers were rippling with flames, and the black smoke from the charcoal fire rushed straight to the top of the tent. Almost everything was gray-black, as if it was in an uneducated cave. Only the tents, inkstones and other objects were placed on the case had traces of civilization, but they all looked very simple.
Most of the guests on the seat were covered with iron armor, and the plate armor was filled with a cold metallic light. The atmosphere of barbarity and violence was everywhere.
In such a place, the sound of elegant and beautiful silk and bamboo gradually sounded, and dozens of graceful girls danced one after another. Their faces were beautiful and their clothes were bright in color; their dancing postures and elegant belts, such appearances were incompatible with the environment and were particularly abrupt. Compared with the two sides, it seemed to come from different worlds and different eras, as if they were different.
Guo Shao sat on a chair covered with animal skins, looking at the scene in front of him, and had an illusion... It seemed that a group of barbarians had entered a prosperous and civilized place and caught a woman here to have fun.
But he really felt wronged because he always regarded himself as a defender and never thought of insulting and destroying civilization.
Look, the envoys of the Southern Tang Kingdom who sent these women were also enjoying the sight of them. The envoys picked up the wine glass and said loudly in the sound of silk and bamboo: "I hope that the two countries will turn swords into jade and silk, and I will respect you below, and do it first." After that, he held the sleeve of the robe with one hand and raised his head to drink.
A group of men also gave face and raised their glasses and said, "Do it! Do it..."
Even so, the atmosphere was still a bit stagnant and heavy. If it weren't for the graceful music, it would have been even more stiff. The messenger seemed to have smelled the breath and smiled awkwardly.
Guo Shao knew that the military generals were wary because the upper generals had heard about these people. He looked back and forth and said that the top leaders were Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao. They stared at the dancing dancers, but they did not look at the look of appreciation, but had a cold expression.
This feast was not so easy from the beginning.
Guo Shao also looked at the woman below inadvertently, and soon found the person who took the initiative to serve Zhou Xian's daily life. After observing it, he had to admit that the woman imitated very much. If he didn't pay attention, it would be difficult to find out whether she was different from other women. But once he paid attention, he could see the difference and the temperament was different. Guo Shao felt that the woman was not a singing girl at all, and there was a slight freedom and decisiveness in her dance moves.
However, they were at least ten steps away from Guo Shao. At such a long distance, Guo Shao was really curious about how to raid with melee weapons.
I remember that Guo Shao started as a young man, and the battle was bloody and storm, and the scene of life and death in the blink of an eye, and he was afraid of a woman. He narrowed his eyes, while he was vigilant, while pretending to be interested to watch them dance.
When people face crises, they usually pay the most priority to the source of danger, and Guo Shao is no exception. His attention to that woman at this time has exceeded that of Zhou Xian. At this moment, he has ignored Zhou Xian a little.
The dancers danced a dance with the accompaniment of the mediocre sounds and finally changed into swords. "Dongdongdongdong..." The drum sounded, and it was finally a little more excited than before. They changed the songs, but they didn't change them, because there were only a few people in total.
The cold sword weapon appeared in the middle, and the expressions of the generals changed subtly again. Li Chuyun, who was cutting meat and eating, also put down the knife and sat there quietly.
The bright red lips and graceful figure are stimulating with military stimulation. The sword dance is a program for men to appreciate, which can satisfy people's completely different senses, the heroic spirit of the golden sword and the visual compensation of the beauty. If it weren't for thinking about the nickname in this, Guo Shao would have applauded.
In the quaint and monotonous tent, the sword light is dazzling, and the dancers are agile and agile. Their sword dances have a larger range than the dance just now, and they approach Guo Shao from time to time.
Ten steps... Within ten steps, Guo Shao, Li Chuyun and others stared at the waving sword lights, gradually becoming nervous.
But suddenly, they retreated to the distance while swaying, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. This process made Guo Shao feel like he was being tempted... But he was still calm. The woman seemed to be sure of Guo Shao's thoughts and thought that he was unwilling to show his lack of courage in public.
This dance was really exciting, Guo Shao was stunned. "Dongdongdongdong..." The drum sound seemed to echo the heartbeat.
With the rhythm, the dancers approached north again. Although the atmosphere tightened again, the generals did not move. After all, they were all people who had seen the wind and waves and would not be too impatient.
... Suddenly, a voice shouted almost with a crying voice: "General Guo, that person is an assassin!"
Suddenly, the lively dance seemed to be frozen in the air for a moment, and everyone was surprised. Guo Shao glanced in the voice, and Zhou Xian's pale and painful face flashed through his mind. All the premeditations and arrangements in his heart disappeared, and the sudden accident made his mind almost blank.
It was fast to say that, a woman suddenly jumped up, her figure was very agile and fast, and she seemed to have a spring installed under her feet... For a moment, Guo Shao even suspected that there was really something like light skills in the world.
The belt floated up in the air, as if it was very slow, but it was actually very fast. In less than a snap of her fingers, her toes touched the ground again, and her body blew up again. Zhou Xian's previous shout surprised people, but the degree was still limited. Everyone was already shocked at this moment. "Ah..." A scream came to the tent, and even the generals Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao stood up.
The woman is light and fast, and the focus of martial arts is completely different from the power of the warriors in the battle formation, showing martial arts that everyone is not familiar with. This kind of skill is not practical in the battle formation, but it is obviously better than the warriors when assassinating!
Guo Shao reacted quickly and reached out to grab the edge of the table, just as he was about to lift the chopping board where the wine and meat were placed. At this moment, the screen on the side was overturned first, and a row of crossbowmen shot arrows straight at the woman, and then he heard Lu Chengyong's shout: "Shoot the arrow!"
The woman was only a few steps away from Guo Shao, but no matter how fast she was, she could not be faster than the crossbow arrow. She immediately quickly retracted the sword edge of the flat finger and slashed it on the flank. "Ding Ding Ding..." and several crossbow arrows were hit. But she still screamed in pain, and was hit on her arms and legs at the same time. The right way was that no matter how high the sword technique was, she was afraid of arrows.
The woman was hit by two arrows in her leg and couldn't jump up. The sword fell to the ground with a "clang" sound, and the person knelt on one knee. Her eyes instantly shot out desperate and angry eyes.
Guo Shao didn't even lift the table, and the whole process sat there steadily and didn't move.
Dong Zunhui was the first to be furious and said, "Bold thieves, take them all!" But Li Chuyun suddenly looked at Guo Shao with awe, and saw that he was sitting there very calmly, even looking as if his face was not changing.
In fact, Guo Shao was about to lift the table and block it, and then draw his sword.
The generals in the tent looked at the superiors and forgot to speak for a moment. Seeing that the assassin had been shot, Guo Shao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down without moving. At this moment, Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao rushed towards this side and stood in front of Guo Shao.
A group of ambushed soldiers behind the barriers on both sides rushed out quickly, surrounding the assassins and all the dancers. The frightened woman screamed one after another.
Guo Shao was stunned. What surprised him was not the assassin's attack, but the warning that Zhou Xian first issued. Everything was in chaos. His original plan allowed Zhou Xian, who was threatened by Jiangning Mansion to try his best to get rid of some of the relationships, and now it became a mess.
