6. Banquet [Countdown to 100 Changes 3/5]
At night in Suzhou, the lights are on.
A luxurious carriage full of powder was parked at the door of the Lujia Escort Agency in the evening.
It was the carriage that came to Yanyulou to welcome the distinguished guests. Everyone Shen’s personal maid Xiuhe personally came to pick up Chen Qiu and Qingqing to go to the banquet.
It's full of pomp and sincerity.
The carriage is very wide, even enough to be placed on a small table.
Chen Qiu got into the car, and Qingqing girl stood at the door of the escort agency to say goodbye to her senior brother. The people in the Momen who had been to Xiaoxiang before were cleaning up on the road at night.
They didn't even pretend, and the Mo family crossbow machine was just hanging openly around their waists.
"Miss Xiuhe, I'm carrying a knife, so it should be fine, right?"
Chen Qiu waved his hand to Qingqing, put down the curtain of the carriage, and then raised the Hongming knife in his hand to the maid Xiuhe who was kneeling in the carriage, and asked.
The latter showed a sweet smile and said to Chen Qiu in a warm voice:
"My shopkeeper has promised that Young Master Chen will not happen again that day, but if Young Master is worried, just carry a knife, it's okay."
"Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?"
Chen Qiu asked with a smile, and the maid Xiuhe replied:
"Young Master Chen is my lady's distinguished guest. Naturally, no one dares to blame me on the Yanyu Building."
"Shen, everyone is polite."
Chen Qiu smiled and said nothing.
With the sound of the groom's whip, the carriage slowly started. After a while, he passed by the streets and alleys of Suzhou. He arrived at Yanyu Tower and drove directly into the courtyard beside the building.
The maid Xiuhe held a delicate lantern and led Chen Qiu to walk through the side door.
They went all the way to the third floor.
This is where everyone in Shen meets friends on weekdays, called "Yuhua Pavilion".
The interior furnishings are quite exquisite, quite tacky, with an elegant style.
There is also a special observation deck here. From above, you can clearly see the singing and dancing girls performing on the big stage on the first floor below, which will occasionally win a burst of thrilling cheers.
"It sounds pretty good."
Chen Qiu sat down, put the Hongming knife at his hand, listened to the sound of silk and bamboo and some musical instruments.
A gentle Jiangnan woman sang softly, her tone was like a lark, which was a long song that is popular nowadays.
As for the content, it is nothing more than love and love. What kind of pain of love is quite concealed, but it is quite in line with the view of love in this era.
But Chen Qiu shook his head slightly.
If you are used to listening to bold and straightforward pop songs, then listen to these ancient styles and songs.
Although it's very novel, it always feels not very tasty.
But those dancers are pretty good at dancing.
Chen Qiu was also surprised to find that this ancient woman was not so cautious in dancing, and she was quite bold in dressing. She also had her legs and so on when she was dancing in a long gauze dress.
“It’s really good.”
Chen Qiu stroked his chin and exclaimed.
The maid Xiuhe who was serving on the side chuckled and said to Chen Qiu:
"This is the first show. Next is the great revelation from the Central Plains, the Man Miao Ling dance in western Hunan, and finally the singing and dancing of my lady."
"Yeah?"
Chen Qiu said:
"Sure enough, Shen is the finale. But I heard that Shen is both good at both piano and dancing. I can see the dance today, but I can't listen to Shen's singing."
"What did the distinguished guest say?"
Xiuhe said warmly:
"It is to express apologies. If the distinguished guest wants to listen, when the song and dance end, my lady will play a song for the guests in this Yuhua Pavilion.
But, do customers need to use some dishes and wine first? It’s not bad to eat and drink while watching songs and dances.”
“It’s really enjoyable.”
Chen Qiu said something, then stretched out his hand and pressed against the wine pot in Xiuhe's hand.
He looked at the maid in front of him and said softly:
"I have to talk about things later, so I don't have to drink."
Xiuhe's movements stopped. She glanced at Chen Qiu, then stopped making a sound, but quietly retreated aside.
There was a man and a woman in the room. The woman was quite beautiful, but no one spoke. Only the singing and dancing outside the window came into the Yuhua Pavilion, making the atmosphere a little stagnant.
However, the next Man Miao Lingdian opened Chen Qiu's eyes.
The women in Xiangxi are probably ethnic minorities who can sing and dance. They are all slender, wheat-colored skin, and wear exaggerated ethnic costumes...
It's the kind that reveals a lot.
It made Chen Qiu feel like watching a girl group concert in his previous life.
These women from outside have generous personalities, and their internal customs are different from those of the more closed Central Plains, and are not implicit.
A short skirt dance was flying, extremely enthusiastic, and the thighs that were exposed from time to time also climaxed the atmosphere in the Yanyu Building.
Sure enough...as expected!
Chen Qiu smiled strangely.
No matter which era this is, the GHS set is indeed the most common demand of the public.
After that enthusiastic bell dance, the entire bustling Yanyu Tower suddenly calmed down. Chen Qiu looked down, and in the silence of anticipation, everyone Shen appeared.
She was wearing a big red dress, a gauze ribbon on the outside, a pearl and jade crown on her head, and a half mask on her face, which was quite mysterious.
Everyone in Shen waited on the stage and leaned over slightly. Amid the slightly excited accompaniment, the two dancing fans in her hand were opened.
While the swaying of the yarn on the body, it dances like a blooming peony flower, on the stage.
The layers of long skirts also rotate with their figure, like flowers blooming and wealth.
Her steps were light, just like the ballerina at Swan Lake.
In the light jumping, it was like a monster among flowers. In the swaying candlelight around the stage, Shen’s figure became more and more mysterious and charming.
Chen Qiu has to admit that even if Shen Mu's dance is modern, it is absolutely first-class.
The woman danced alone in the music, which attracted everyone's attention and made them ignore the dancers, with only that red cloud flashing in their eyes.
It really feels shocking.
After the dance, the entire Yanyu Tower was silent, until everyone in Shen quietly left the stage, and the cheers rang out like thunder.
There are also some enthusiastic "fans" of Shen, who regardless of the fact that they made fake flowers of broken silver and copper coins were thrown out from the seats on the second or first floor.
Of course, women like Shen will definitely not pick them up, so they will be cheaper for those dancers.
"Your lady's dance is really good."
Chen Qiu turned his head to the maid Xiuhe with a teasing smile:
"I guess everyone Shen's Phantom Stepping has already reached the level of great success, right?"
Then Shen can hide it from others, but cannot hide it from him.
The dance of the song is indeed excellent, but Chen Qiu Equinox clearly noticed that there are several difficult dance moves that no matter how flexible a woman is, she cannot do, and those movements that are as light as ghosts...
That is clearly the Phantom Step technique to enhance the throne!
There will be a lot of autumn.
When the maid Xiuhe, who was standing beside him, heard this, his face suddenly changed.
She lowered her hands and two Emei knives slid into her palms, but before Xiuhe could move, the light of the sword came to her head.
The knife air was out of the sheath, causing a howling whistling to break through the wind.
The sword was very fast, and Hongming was a sharp weapon. In Shen Qiu's sudden explosion, the table full of appetizers and the wine pot in the center were cut off by a smooth knife.
The colorless wine was poured into the air and was divided into two by the sharp blade.
The soup on the plate was sprinkled everywhere.
But there were also three plates, slapped by Chen Qiu's left hand, and rolled and smashed towards Xiuhe in front of him.
The disc flew over, like a hidden weapon. Xiuhe raised his hands and Jueying Qizhe took action to lift the light spots all over the sky and smashed the three discs.
But the first knife that followed was inevitable.
However, this girl can escape from the Five Elements Sect with Chen Lan, so she naturally has the means.
In front of her, Chen Qiu looked cold and the sharp blade roared down his hand. The sound was submerged in the cheers and cheers of the entire Yanyu Tower.
She raised her left hand Emei Thorn and resisted the falling blade. Chen Qiu's sword force was strong and he was ready. The Emei Thorn in her hand was knocked out the moment it touched.
But the next moment, Xiuhe's body seemed to have no bones.
As the blade falls, it is like bent with a slender waist, falling to the ground at the same time.
She curled up her legs and let her back hit the ground. The knife in front of her was exhausted and her speed slowed down. In the middle of her inability to send out, the maid jumped out to the left like a spring.
The movements were fast and fast, and the swaying sleeves were like jumping flower shadows. Obviously, her Phantom footwork was also well practiced.
But the Shen Qiu Dao style suddenly changed, and the bleak autumn wind blew up in an instant. The originally heavy sword style suddenly became light and fast. The blade swayed endlessly, and there was a collision of true energy, which caused a six-point sword shadow in front of Xiuhe's eyes.
It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Xiuhe's face was pale.
First, he was suppressed by Chen Qiu, making it difficult to perform his assassination skills.
After all, she is different from the talented lady, she is more like a pure assassin.
The opponent took the lead and dragged it into a head-on battle, and then he was at a disadvantage.
Second, she recognized Chen Qiu's martial arts.
Jueying Seven Killing Technique.
This is not something that only the Five Elements Sect can do...
"Swish, swish, swish"
The sword shadows were flying, the sword wind was howling, Xiuhe lowered his arms, pointed his toes, and took a few steps back. The sharp sword wind followed closely. Wherever it went, the decoration in Yuhua Pavilion was considered unlucky.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the knife marks were carved everywhere. As she kept retreating, Chen Qiu's knife speed was three points faster!
This won't work!
Maid Xiuhe was anxious.
Chen Qiu's sword technique has already entered the house, and he has taken the initiative again. If he continues, it will be difficult for him to turn the tables.
If you die, you will die.
But the lady's plan is likely to fail!
Thinking of this, Xiuhe gritted her teeth, gathered up her body, and leveraged the force on the observation deck, just like a swallow spreading her wings, raised her hands, and several darts broke out into her sleeves and hit Chen Qiu in front of her.
"Bang, bang"
The hidden weapon was lifted away by the blade, and Chen Qiu's Qiufeng Knife suddenly slowed down. Xiuhe grabbed the flaw, and her pink long skirt was scattered behind her. The Phantom's footwork was running with all its strength, and the movement was like a pulsating phantom.
It was approaching Chen Qiu in just a few seconds, and less than a foot was left between the two.
The Emei thorn in her left hand pierced out, and a green light reflected in the swaying candlelight of the Yuhua Pavilion. This weapon is poisonous and can make the opponent paralyzed, but it is not fatal.
It's so close that it's too late to swing the knife to block it!
Stay stable!
Xiuhe danced out seven star dots with one hand, and the sharp hand pricked Chen Qiu's shoulders.
She had already calmed down.
But the next moment.
"Swish"
The wind and thunder sounded, and Chen Qiu took the initiative to abandon the sword, and his left hand formed a sword finger. As the true energy of the snow cleared, the sword finger came like the wind swept away the remaining clouds, and the finger shadows danced in front of Xiuhe.
The two of them were as if they were making a super fast move.
"Bang"
Xiuhe's Emei pierced in his hand was only one inch away from Chen Qiu's shoulder, but his wrist was hit hard by Feng Lei's fingers. Even with the protection of his true energy, a cloud of bruises remained.
The stabbing movement was even more deformed, and the fork of his hand rubbed Chen Qiu's cheek and stabbed it out.
The two of them were almost pressed together at this time. Chen Qiu sneered, Feng Lei's fingers changed their moves, his five fingers were clasped into claws, and amid the howling of ghosts and wolves, he slapped the abdomen of the maid Xiuhe.
The true qi turns into a "needle" and is sent into Xiuhe meridians.
"Pa", "Pa".
Two palms shot out like lightning. Xiuhe's slender body was knocked back two steps. Her whole body was trembling and she wanted to lift and radiate, but when the true energy moved, half of her body was paralyzed.
There was also a tingling pain from the meridians, and she heard the howling wind in her palms. She stepped back quickly and wanted to yell.
But before he opened his mouth, he was hit in the chest by Chen Qiu.
The difficult maid was shot into the dizzy acupoint by the true energy. When she rolled her eyes, she fell into Shen Qiu's arms.
"Tear"
The sound of clothes tearing up was heard in Yuhua Pavilion, but because there was no one outside the door, no one could hear it.
A moment later, the door of Yuhua Pavilion was pushed open.
She was in a big red dress, half of the mask, and a pearl crown on her head. She had not taken off her makeup yet. She walked into Yuhua Pavilion and was in a good mood.
But what attracted everyone's eyes made everyone smile all over their faces.
In front of her, the room was in a mess, the best wooden table was cut open, and wine, drinks and dishes were sprinkled everywhere.
Chen Qiuzheng sat on the only intact chair in the house with a big sword.
The maid Xiuhe, who was stripped naked and only wore a close-fitting bellyband, was tied up by her own clothes and was kneeling at Shen Qiu's feet in humiliation.
The shiny Hongming Knife was pressing against Xiuhe's snow-white neck. With a gentle movement, Xiuhe would die on the spot.
"Miss, I..."
Xiuhe was about to speak when she felt a pain in her neck. The sharp blade slightly cut her skin, causing blood to flow to the blade.
"It's really unruly! Did you let me speak?"
Chen Qiu said expressionlessly.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Lan Shen, who was wearing a red long dress and half of the demon fox mask, like a demon girl.
He whispered:
"My son of Shen, I am extremely satisfied with the decoration of your Yuhua Pavilion. But this maid doesn't understand the rules very well. She lost everyone for everyone of Shen. I overestimated my affairs and taught you a lesson...
Chapter completed!
