In the evening, the emperor held a banquet with all his ministers. The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan said that he likes prairie dance, but he has not seen authentic prairie dance for many years. Everyone looked at Jie Li.
Jieli's face turned red and he had no choice but to stand up and perform an authentic grassland dance with several generals.
Watching the Turkic monarchs and ministers dancing for fun in the Tai Chi Hall, old Li Yuan and his son laughed heartily, and the shame of many years was finally washed away. Li Er thought to himself that the promise he made to his father had finally been fulfilled. He must be able to untie his heart and accept his succession, right? Facts have proved that I can indeed do a better job as emperor than my elder brother.
The customs of the Tang Dynasty were more open. People in this era liked to dance and gamble. Song and dance were not exclusive to women. Most of the time, when people were happy, they could not help but sing and dance. Therefore, dancing during the banquet did not have much humiliation. This is also the reason why Xie Li is willing to stand up.
"Come on, play some music!"
The music of breaking the formation of the King of Qin. When Emperor Li Er first became the king of Qin, after defeating Liu Wuzhou, his soldiers added new lyrics to the old music and adapted it into "The Music of Breaking the Formation". Later, after Li Er ascended the throne, he personally participated in the adaptation, and it has become the most famous song now. The King of Qin broke the formation and was happy.
Jie Li ate the delicacies and listened to Tang Dynasty's triumphant joy. He became more and more sad and his mouth tasted bitter.
"Well, if Xiao Rui hadn't been born in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks would still be the overlord of the grassland! What a pity... God is not with me, why weren't people like Xiao Rui born in the grassland?" Jieli drank a bowl of strong wine.
Huh? Strange, tonight is a celebration banquet, why don’t we see the champion Hou Xiaorui?
Jie Li turned to Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple next to him, and asked, "Tang Qingzheng, why don't you see the champion?"
Tang Jian looked embarrassed. He raised his head and took a careful look at the emperor. He shook his head and sighed: "It's not convenient for the Marquis to show up."
Jie Li, under the influence of wine, seemed not to understand what it meant. He thought Tang Jian was asking him to ask the emperor, so he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, where is the champion?"
Um? The entire banquet fell silent instantly.
Everyone turned to look at Jie Li.
Tang Jian advised: "Marquis Guiyi, you have drunk too much."
Jie Li pushed Tang Jian away, "Get out of the way, I didn't drink too much. In the grassland, I am the number one warrior who can never get drunk after a thousand cups."
…That’s grassland. This is Tang Dynasty liquor, which is not comparable to the inferior liquor from the grasslands. You can tell by your voice that you are 70% drunk. Drunk people say they are not drunk.
Li Er thought that Jie Li was using the topic to embarrass him, so he said solemnly: "The champion is unwell and cannot attend the banquet. Why does the Marquis of Guiyi want to see him?"
Jieli said cheerfully: "Nothing! Ever since Xiao Rui appeared, the grassland has been disturbed, and the powerful Turks have been overwhelmed by him alone. Jieli was defeated twice by the champion, and he was convinced of his defeat. I want to have a drink with him. There is such a person in the Tang Dynasty, and he will be invincible in the world from now on."
Xiao Yu stood up and shouted: "What a mistake! The Tang Dynasty is invincible. With or without Xiao Rui, the Tang Dynasty is invincible."
The drunk Fang Er shouted in confusion: "No, if Brother Xiao hadn't lost all his martial arts skills, he would be invincible."
Qin Huaidao, who was next to him, quickly grabbed hold of him, and several friends around him hurriedly covered the guy's mouth.
Li Er knew that Fang Yiai was innocent and honest, so he smiled and didn't care.
Jie Li retorted loudly: "No, the greatness of the champion is not in martial arts. In the last duel, I realized that the champion without martial arts is even more terrifying. I heard from the military advisor that he can defeat the enemy with just one person and a map. He clearly figured out where I was hiding. This man’s mind is really unpredictable. It’s not unfair to lose at his hands.”
After saying that, he drank a full bowl again, and he was already full of drunkenness.
hiss……
There is even such a chapter? It wasn’t written in the military newspaper! It is only said that General Su Lie pursued Jie Li for two days and captured Jie Li alive. Everyone thought it was a deadly pursuit, but no one thought that the champion was right? Does this count?
That's right, if Jie Li hadn't met Zhao Deyan when escorting the prisoners back to Chang'an, he wouldn't have known why he was always ambushed, and he was so accurate both times.
At this moment, the most shocking thing was the generals present. Except for those who were drunk, the sober people were all lost in thought, wondering whether they should be jealous of the champion? If it is true as Jie Li said, then the champion is too terrifying. Who dares to be an enemy of such a person?
"But why wasn't such a person born in the grassland? God bless me..." Jieli actually started crying.
Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You should have been angry, but you were captured and became a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Now you are still thinking about the grassland. You should be jailed for talking like this. But Li Er wanted to laugh even more, and laughed proudly. Jie Li is jealous, and it also means admitting defeat. God bless the grassland, but God bless the Tang Dynasty!
"Come here, Marquis Guiyi is drunk. Send Marquis Guiyi back to his home."
Soon Jie Li was sent back. In the Tai Chi Hall, old Li Yuan left the table first because of lack of physical strength.
Li Er greeted everyone in a daze to continue the banquet. Everyone recovered from the shock just now, and everyone was thinking that they must find out how the champion calculated tomorrow. It was terrible.
There was a great banquet for the officials in the Taiji Hall, and it was very lively, but the lights in the prison had long been turned off and they were sleeping.
On the bottom floor of the prison, Xiao Rui was awakened by Zhao Deyan's snoring. He was so angry that he simply stopped sleeping. He stood up, walked to Zhao Deyan's bed next door, and picked up the sleeping Zhao Deyan.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Oh, Mr. Marquis, why are you so troublesome if you don't sleep? Has something happened?" Zhao Deyan rubbed his eyes and complained.
Xiao Rui patted this guy's cheek, "You also know that I also want to sleep? Your snoring can be heard at the palace gate, how do you want me to sleep?"
I? Snoring? No, I haven’t heard of it.
nonsense! In the past, you were a Turkic military advisor, with one person inferior to ten thousand people. Who would dare to complain about your snoring?
"Hey, hey, Lord Marquis, can't I stop fighting? Don't drag me." Xiao Rui grabbed Zhao Deyan's sleeve and walked out.
Xiao Rui complained: "You don't snore? You are asleep, can you control yourself not to snore? Come here, I will check your illness and give you a few injections. Let's avoid tonight first. I will make a prescription tomorrow. Let Tai Hospital send you medicine. Isn't it easy to cure your snoring?"
"Ah? Lord Marquis also has medical skills? Oh, by the way, I forgot, you are the miracle doctor of Chang'an and a disciple of Taoist Master Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Deyan remembered.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and said: "Normally, I pay a lot for medical consultation. Today I will treat you for free, so you can enjoy it privately. Invite me to dinner when you go out."
Zhao Deyan said cheerfully: "It's settled, you can choose where to eat. Mr. Zhao is very curious. Mr. Hou seems to know everything, not to mention who can learn from it. I want to ask you, is there anyone else in this world?" What can’t you do?”
Xiao Rui pondered for a long time and said deeply and seriously: "Maybe, for example, I don't know how to give birth to a child."
What? Pfft...you've pretended to be all the 13's in the world.
"Hey, I haven't slept yet! It seems I came just in time."
A joyful voice came from the dungeon door. Under the dim light, Zhao Deyan didn't recognize it, but Xiao Rui knew who it was as soon as he heard it, "The Supreme Emperor? Why are you here? You must be comforting me, right? Don't worry, I’m fine, it’s nice to live here, it’s clean and comfortable.”
Old Li Yuan walked over slowly, stroking his beard and smiling: "No, I'm here to clear up your doubts."
It turned out that he left the meeting early because he was feeling itchy, wondering how Xiao Rui could figure out where Jie Li was hiding using a map?
