The banquet started, everyone changed glasses and praised the food. When they were in the middle of the banquet, Zhao Fan invited the dancers out again.
This time it was even bolder than when he was in the government office. The translucent gauze, combined with the dim light, was almost looming, and Liu Xian was the first to open his eyes.
Listening to the dynamic string music from South Vietnam, it is completely exotic and eye-opening, and the atmosphere gradually becomes warm.
Such passionate music could not be heard at all from the zither and flute played by the scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains.
If it weren't for the dancers' hairdos and ancient makeup, Liu Qi would have had the illusion of walking into a bar.
Liu Xian's eyes shone, staring at the twisting waists, and said with emotion: "I have heard for a long time that Governor Zhao has a dancing girl team, which is composed of South Vietnamese women. They are charming and well-known in Jiaozhou. When I saw them today, they are indeed well-deserved. "
Gan Ning also drank heavily, as if to suppress the rising anger, and murmured: "My dear, this woman is truly a beauty in the world."
Only Huang Zhong, like a sage, caressed his white beard and admired them quietly. His energy had already been consumed in Rang County and he didn't have much interest in these dancing girls.
After the dance, the dancers came forward to toast, and the leader of the dance naturally came to Liu Qi's side. When he walked, his waist was like the spring breeze blowing willows, with infinite charm.
Squatting down quietly, under the dim candlelight, there was a flawless oval face, red phoenix eyes and eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of charm in the gentleness.
A pair of purple coral earrings hung next to her ears, and an emerald hairpin was inserted diagonally into her bun. Coupled with a light gauze cover, the snow-white neck was made even more slender, like an elegant swan.
She gently picked up the wine glass with green fingers and brought it over. She did not speak, but smiled, with full red lips, a hint of coquettishness and shrewdness between maturity and solemnity.
Smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance floating around him, Liu Qi couldn't control himself. He opened his mouth unconsciously and let the woman drink a glass of wine.
Zhao Fan watched carefully from the side and saw that Liu Qi did not refuse. He put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "General Liu is so powerful!"
Everyone knew that Liu Qi had given up drinking due to illness. Although he started drinking occasionally recently, it was always on extremely important occasions. After this glass of wine, Zhao Fan felt like he had taken a reassurance.
Feeling the unprecedented atmosphere, Liu Qi squinted his eyes slightly and immersed himself in it. This was a treatment that he could not enjoy as a 996 social animal.
Although he probably guessed that this woman was Zhao Fan's sister-in-law, since he didn't reveal it, he didn't need to ask more.
From time traveling to now, I have been cautious and intrigues, can't I enjoy it?
After the toast, there was another round of dancing, this time more and more enthusiastic. The typical Indian dance rhythm was mixed with twerking and belly dancing, which brought the banquet atmosphere to its peak in an instant. Gan Ning even cheered loudly.
Zhao Fan stroked his beard and nodded slightly. As long as he could satisfy Liu Qi, he would have some confidence in talking about Cao Cao after the banquet was over. For the sake of his wife and Zhao Ling'er, he could be given a lighter sentence.
After the hot dance, Liu Qi felt that he had some reactions and quickly stabilized his mind. As the leader of Jingzhou, he couldn't just use his lower body to think about problems.
After the dance, the woman came over and asked, "I heard that the general is still recuperating. I wonder if I can have another drink?"
Probably because of the dance, her face was flushed and she was slightly out of breath. There was a hint of Savadika in her soft voice.
A burst of hot air rushed towards him, and Liu Qi's glimmer of clarity was instantly drowned. He laughed and said, "After drinking this cup, there are three more cups left!"
Gan Ning pointed at Zhao Fan and said with a smile: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I never thought that even though Governor Zhao is on the frontier, he can enjoy so much. Fine wine, delicacies, beauties and jewels. Isn't he happier than the emperor?"
Zhao Fan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, General Gan drank too much! In fact, all these things from Xianguan were left behind by my brother, nothing more."
Everyone laughed, and the mystery that had just entered the mansion was solved. As a county guard, Zhao Fan should not be so public, but with a wealthy brother, it would be different.
The wine was intoxicating and the dancers were alluring. Unconsciously, everyone was already drunk. Zhao Fan ordered people to help Gan Ning and others go down to rest. Huang Zhong took the initiative to patrol the city and guard the city.
Liu Qi was taken to the guest room, which was obviously used to entertain guests and was well-furnished.
When they were slightly tipsy, they saw the woman walking in again, and the others retreated. The light gauze on their bodies had already been changed into a red dress, making them look even more graceful and noble.
"General, you are tired. I will wait for you to get some rest early!" The woman gently sat on the bedside and began to undress Liu Qi.
Liu Qi grabbed her weak and delicate wrist, stared at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name... is Fan Feng, and everyone calls me Mrs. Feng!" The woman lowered her head and bit her red lips, "Actually, except for the general, I have never accompanied any other guests. I know it myself. I come from a humble background, and I have never thought about climbing high. If you think I am old and shabby, I will resign."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Qi exerted a little force on his arms, and Fan Feng let out a sweet cry and lay down in his arms.
Her pretty face was red, her eyes were like a clear spring, as if the water was about to overflow at any time, and she looked like she was ready to be picked by anyone.
Liu Qi was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but raise his hand and lift Fan Feng's chin with one finger.
Fan Feng did not resist, but instead smiled slightly, closing her eyes slightly, her eyelashes flickering, her red lips slightly opened, revealing her neat teeth.
Mrs. Fan's mature nature and Zhao Ling'er's shyness and weakness are two completely different feelings.
"Thief Cao, thief Cao, it turns out that the happiness here is not enough for outsiders to appreciate!"
When everything fell into place, Liu Qi lowered his head slightly and leaned forward. His soft red lips touched, and both of them could not help but tremble slightly.
At dusk, the sun was about to set, leaving a bright glow in the corner of the yard, as bright as a peach blossom, gradually disappearing into the night.
After everything returned to calm, it was already the moon over Dongshan, the house was dark, and bursts of charming laughter could be heard from time to time.
Liu Qi let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "It has been difficult to have both the country and the beauty since ancient times. It is only on this good night that I know that I love the country more than the beauty."
Mrs. Fan made a soft voice from her nostrils and suddenly said: "Prefect Zhao was ignorant before and made a big mistake. I hope the general..."
Liu Qi reached out and pressed her soft red lips, and said with a chuckle: "It's rare to relax today. It's just you and me. We don't have to talk about other people, let alone business. It's enough to embrace such a beauty!"
But I heard Mrs. Fan sigh quietly: "It's a pity that I am old and can't grow old together with the general."
Liu Qi stroked the smooth and tight skin in the dark and said with a smile: "Madam, if you are willing, you can follow me to Xiangyang and stay with me day and night. Liu will never let me down."
"That Ling'er..."
"I said, don't talk about other people tonight!" Liu Qi stopped Mrs. Fan again, and his voice became deeper: "A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't let it go!"
Mrs. Fan said angrily: "General, please don't let this time go to waste. I... I'm not afraid of anything."
Liu Qi chuckled: "Don't worry, Madam, I have a good plan."
