In the brightly lit Miaoxiang Pavilion, female dancers danced gracefully in the middle of the hall. They wore colorful veils that were thin enough to reveal their flesh, but the important parts were faintly discernible. The graceful and light dance fully displayed the women's soft and sexy bodies.
Not far away, there was a group of similarly dressed female musicians playing instruments such as guqin, harp, flute, drum, and lute. The music they played was melodious and cheerful. The singing and dancing harmonized, creating a gentle and charming scene.
Huo Tian, who was sitting in the main seat, had a gloomy expression, his gaze as cold as a blade. The host's expression made the atmosphere of the banquet cold, without a trace of joy.
The dancers below also gradually felt that something was wrong. Although they tried their best to smile, their hearts were trembling, afraid of making a mistake.
One of the dancers was glanced at by Huo Tian, and her heart tightened. Her movements became messy, and she was clearly slower than the others.
Huo Tian reached out his hand and lightly knocked on the table. The attendant beside him understood and hurriedly gestured to the musicians to stop.
As the music stopped, the dancers also stopped. The dancer who had made a mistake was even more afraid. Her face was filled with shock, and her delicate little face was pale. Her bright red lips were trembling.
"What's your name?" Huo Tian asked indifferently.
"Your Highness, my name is Peach Blossom." The dancer hurriedly kowtowed and replied with a trembling voice.
"Hmm, not a bad name, and you're prettier than Peach Blossom …"
Hearing Huo Tian's praise, Peach Blossom heaved a sigh of relief, and the tension on her face eased. She raised her head slightly, and tried to show a bright smile.
Huo Tian flicked his finger, and a sharp finger energy severed Peach Blossom's neck. The head that was sent flying by the finger energy, and the bright smile on her face froze. It was extremely strange.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and a large part of the snow-white carpet was dyed red. Large amounts of blood splashed out from the bodies of the surrounding dancers.
The sudden turn of events also shocked all the dancers.
Huo Tian looked at everyone's frightened expression with satisfaction. He flicked his finger again, and the finger energy turned into a red curved blade that swept across the dancers' necks.
Dozens of beautiful women's heads flew, and the headless corpses fell to the ground. The crazily spurting blood dyed the carpet red. The scene was bloody and cruel.
All the musicians were stunned. Even the attendant standing behind Huo Tian was stunned. Everyone knew that Huo Tian was cruel by nature, but this was the first time they saw him like this. They were all scared out of their wits!
Zhao Ban, who was sitting below, calmly drank a cup of wine before saying: "Wangye is such a killjoy."
After killing dozens of beauties, Huo Tian Tian's anger dissipated a bit. He laughed: "It is their honor to be able to make me smile."
Everyone from the Wan Chun Pavilion hurriedly knelt down. Many of them were trembling uncontrollably. Huo Tian Tian's cold and emotionless words made everyone even more afraid. They were afraid that Huo Tian Tian would be displeased and kill them all.
Even if Huo Tian Tian was a prince, no one would be willing to exchange their lives for his smile.
Huo Tian Tian didn't like blood. He liked the supreme power of life and death. He liked the unscrupulous brutality, and he liked the fear and fear of others.
"Serve the dishes …" Fire True Heaven ordered.
The attendant hurriedly responded and quickly walked out of the hall. As soon as he went out, he arranged for someone to serve the dishes while secretly reporting the situation here.
The Wan Chun Pavilion was a place of romance, where high officials, nobles, and rich officials gathered. There were often all kinds of conflicts. But there had never been someone like Huo Tian Tian who killed dozens of dancers for no reason to vent his anger.
The attendant was also scared to death. He was afraid that Huo Tian Tian would be unhappy and start a massacre here. But he was in charge of Miao Xiang Pavilion. If he ran away because he was afraid of death, he would definitely die. Now he could only grit his teeth and endure.
When the Wan Chun Pavilion's head shopkeeper received the secret report, she was also surprised. Huo Tian Tian went a bit too far. Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he shouldn't have come here to kill people. However, since he had already been killed, she had no other choice.
Not only that, she had to personally apologize.
When the head shopkeeper arrived at Miao Xiang Pavilion, Huo Tian Tian and Zhao Ban were already drinking. The aroma of food, wine, and incense from the incense burner mixed with the smell of blood in the room to form a complex and unique smell.
The head shopkeeper's eyes swept over the headless corpses on the ground. His eyes revealed a bit of pity. These girls were one in a thousand beauties. After more than ten years of training, whether it was their appearance, bearing, or dancing skills, they were all top notch. They were all young and were killed by Huo Tian Tian just like that. Their corpses littered the hall, it was even more cruel.
Although the head shopkeeper was angry, he didn't dare to show it. On the contrary, his face revealed a humble expression as he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, if there is anything wrong with what we have done, please feel free to say it. There is no need to be so angry, don't harm your health. "
"Chun Niang really knows how to talk, hahaha … …"
Huo Tian Tian laughed: "Come come come, this Prince will treat you to a drink."
The head shopkeeper Chun Niang hurriedly said: "It is my fault, I will punish myself by drinking three cups."
The attendant quickly came forward to pour the wine. Qiu Niang heroically drank three cups before saying with an apologetic expression: "Today I did not let Your Highness enjoy yourself, it is all my fault. I hope Your Highness can be magnanimous and not take offense. "
Stone Fire Essence Liquid was the strongest wine in Fire Country. Even a rank nine expert would get drunk after drinking too much. Chun Niang's cultivation was only at rank seven, her face immediately turned red after drinking three cups.
Although her facial features were not absolutely beautiful, there was a kind of flirtatious and flirtatious nature. Her body was like a ripe peach, the sweet juice seemed ready to spill even without touching it. Her body was like a ripe peach, the sweet juice seemed ready to spill even without touching it.
Even Zhao Ban couldn't help but take a few more glances at Chun Niang.
Huo Tian Tian's eyes lit up. He pulled Chun Niang's hand and smiled: "Chun Niang will accompany me tonight, and this Prince will forgive you, how about it?"
"It is my honor to accompany Your Highness, but there are many people here now, I still have to go deal with some matters."
Chun Niang was annoyed by Huo Tian Tian, but she didn't dare to offend him. She could only say: "I will go take a look first, I will come back to accompany Your Highness soon."
Huo Tian Tian's expression turned cold. He let go of Chun Niang's hand and said indifferently: "Then you go first."
He paused and said: "When Zhu Jinghong's guests arrive, remember to report to this Prince. Also, call Feihong over … … "
Chun Niang helplessly looked at the bloody corpses below and said in a low voice: "If Great General Zhu's guests arrive, I will personally report to you. However, Feihong is timid, if she comes, she will only spoil your mood … … "
"Timid people need to train, call her over immediately … …"
Huo Tian Tian's temper flared up, he wouldn't give Chun Niang any face. Although Yan Feihong was famous in the imperial capital, in his eyes, she was just a prostitute. He couldn't control Zhu Jinghong, let alone Wan Chun Ge. That would be a joke!
Chun Niang was helpless, she quickly bowed and left. Huo Tian Tian was very abnormal and dangerous tonight, she didn't dare to send Yan Feihong over. If something happened, Huo Tian Tian might be fine, but she couldn't bear the responsibility.
When Chun Niang arrived at Feiyan Brothel, Yan Feihong had just finished washing up and was preparing to leave. She wasn't a beautiful woman, she wore a white dress and her long hair was tied up in a flying fairy bun. There was nothing special about her, but she had a unique temperament. Under the indifferent moonlight, there was a kind of unapproachable elegance, but also a gentleness like water.
Seeing the flustered expression on Chun Niang's face, Yan Feihong asked curiously, "What's wrong, Chun Niang?"
"Huo Tian Tian suddenly went berserk and killed dozens of our men. He also specifically asked you to go over. "
Chun Niang shook her head and said, "I already knew this person was ruthless. I finally saw his true colors today."
"If I don't go, he will probably go even more berserk. I better go and accompany him. "
Yan Feihong didn't seem to be afraid of Huo Tian Tian's violence and said indifferently.
Chun Niang shook her head and said, "I have already informed Chief Jiang, and he will be here soon. We cannot let Huo Tian Tian do as he pleases tonight. You don't need to go over. Zhu Jinghong specifically asked for you, so you should go to him. Huo Tian Tian might be tyrannical, but he can't suppress Zhu Jinghong. Furthermore, this person is very kind and will not let you suffer any losses … "
Chun Niang didn't allow Yan Feihong to refuse and personally brought her to Green Crane Residence.
Xu Youtong was also very familiar with Chun Niang. When he saw her bringing Yan Feihong over, he stood up and greeted with a smile, "Chun Niang, long time no see. Haha …"
He then cupped his hands at Yan Feihong and said, "Long time no see, Young Lady Feihong."
Yan Feihong bowed while Chun Niang spoke with a face full of smiles, "Mister Xu, long time no see. This servant has been thinking about you."
The few of them exchanged some conventional greetings outside the door. After entering, Chun Niang and Yan Feihong respectfully greeted Zhu Jinghong.
Zhu Jinghong actually wasn't interested in interacting with romantic ladies, but Chun Niang and Yan Feihong were also extraordinary. Thus, he maintained sufficient politeness on the surface.
Chun Niang accompanied him for a few cups of wine and instructed Yan Feihong to take good care of the esteemed guest before leaving in a hurry.
Xu Youtong's eyes were very sharp and could see that Chun Niang's expression wasn't right. He asked curiously, "Did something happen? Chun Niang's expression doesn't look right?"
"King An lost his temper and killed dozens of dancers."
Yan Feihong only gave a simple statement, but that smear of deep sorrow between her brows could penetrate one's heart, which made Zhu Jinghong feel sympathetic.
"King An is really reckless in doing things …"
Zhu Jinghong shook his head and sighed helplessly. He knew clearly in his heart that Huo Tian Tian must be venting his anger at him. However, what could he do by killing dozens of dancers! Who could he scare?
Although that was what he said, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to interfere in this matter. Although he didn't have to give Huo Tian Tian face, he also didn't have the right to interfere.
The Wanchun Pavilion was jointly opened by Jiang Country and Swallow Dock. Jiang Dongliu also contacted a few royal officials of Fire Nation and gave them shares. Therefore, this family had an unusually strong background. However, Huo Tian Tian only killed a few dancers. No one would really make things difficult for him for this matter.
At the end of the day, the dancers could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
Zhu Jinghong sympathized with the dead, but that was all. As the commander of the army, he was unusually calm. At his level, he only cared about the pros and cons of doing things, not whether it was right or wrong, good or evil.
Tonight, he still had to meet Gao Zhengyang. This was a matter of life and death for his entire family. If he didn't handle this well, not only would he be in trouble, but his entire family, including everyone in the Imperial Capital, would also be in trouble.
Zhu Jinghong, who was preoccupied, was in no mood to care about these small matters.
Yan Feihong saw Zhu Jinghong's indifferent expression and was slightly disappointed. She said, "I wonder what song the great general would like to hear?"
"Spring River Flower Moon." Zhu Jinghong didn't know much about music, but he usually listened to it. The tune of Spring River Flower Moon was melodious and peaceful. It was quite suitable to listen to now.
Yan Feihong didn't say anything else. She adjusted the strings of the zither and played Spring River Flower Moon.
The sound of the zither was long and drawn-out, like the surging river, like the blooming of the mountain flowers, like the moon covering the mountains and rivers.
Zhu Jinghong didn't know how to play the zither, but he could hear the artistic conception in the sound.
The new moon had just risen in the sky, and the Melting Sun Lake in the distance was also covered with a faint layer of moonlight. The stars were far away, and the moon was new. The wind was gentle, and the lake was calm. The world was empty, and people's minds were clear, as if they had melted into the world.
"Hahaha, Jinghong is in a good mood. Why didn't you call me? It's not good to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone!"
A loud laughter suddenly came from the courtyard. It also broke the harmony of the zither and the beauty of the world.
Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but frown. Huo Tian Tian was really too much. By avoiding meeting him, he had already expressed his intentions very clearly.
But since he was already here, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't be too rude on the surface. Zhu Jinghong stood up to welcome him. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you scolding me? I really have something to do today, so I declined your invitation. "
Huo Tian Tian laughed and said, "It's fine. I'm here anyway. It's more fun with everyone."
He then introduced to Zhu Jinghong, "This is Grandmaster Zhao, a good friend of mine."
Zhu Jinghong carefully sized up Zhao Ban. Although he couldn't see through him, he could feel the hidden power in Zhao Ban's body. He was also a little surprised. This person was so strong! He was clearly stronger than Huo Tian Tian.
Huo Tian Tian had two guards with him. They were both gloomy and expressionless. One look and you could tell they were experts.
Zhu Jinghong sighed inwardly. Huo Tian Tian brought a group of experts with him. How arrogant. He only hoped that he wouldn't regret it later.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was still hesitating, Huo Tian Tian was even more dissatisfied. He strode over and grabbed Zhu Jinghong's arm, saying, "We've been friends for so many years. It's so lively to sit together. This guest won't take offense."
Saying so, he forcefully pulled Zhu Jinghong into the room and loudly ordered, "Go, prepare two more tables. Bring up the food and wine that I've ordered. "
Zhu Jinghong smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, I'm also a guest. I can't make the decision. "
Huo Tian Tian took charge and said, "It's fine. I don't mind. Then the master won't mind. "
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, who is the master?"
Zhu Jinghong shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't say."
"Hehe, you're still keeping secrets from me." Huo Tian Tian laughed, "Then I can't leave. I have to see who this mysterious master is."
After the waiter set up the table, Huo Tian sat down and raised his wine cup, saying, "Jinghong, come, this King offers you a toast."
Zhu Jinghong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only raise his cup and drink.
Zhu Jinghong's depressed expression made Huo Tian Tian happy. He then laughed at Yan Feihong, "Feihong, this isn't good. This King ordered you, but you came here instead. Drink, drink … "
Yan Feihong lowered her eyes and said politely, "There's something wrong with my body, I can't drink. Please forgive me, Your Highness. "
Huo Tian Tian raised his thick red eyebrows and smiled, "Feihong, you're not giving me face."
He was smiling, but his eyes were cold. A prostitute dared to put on airs with him. How reckless!
"I'm sorry, I really can't drink." Yan Feihong lowered her head and apologized. Her tone was calm but firm.
"Hehe, it's said that Swallow Dock is the most gentle place in the world. Why are the women here so insensible?"
Huo Tian Tian shook his head, saying, "Did Yan Shisan teach you this?"
Yan Shisan was one of the three great swordsmen in the world. He had guarded Swallow Dock for more than a hundred years. He was also the most important expert of the Yan Tribe.
Huo Tian Tian already knew that Yan Feihong was from the Yan Tribe. He deliberately mentioned Yan Shisan to see how Yan Feihong would react.
"What do you mean, Your Highness? What does it have to do with my ancestor that I can't drink? "
Yan Feihong didn't want to offend Huo Tian Tian, but she couldn't tolerate him insulting Yan Shisan.
"Let me tell you, even if Yan Shisan was here, he wouldn't dare to refuse me."
Huo Tian didn't care about Yan Feihong, but he wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for Zhu Jinghong. Of course, he was just bragging. If Yan Shisan was here, he wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Zhu Jinghong said helplessly, "Your Highness, why get angry over such a small matter? You've always liked to be gentle with women. "
Xu Youtong said hurriedly, "Miss Feihong can't drink. Can I help her drink three cups?"
"Who do you think you are? Is this a place for you to speak?" Huo Tian Tian glared at Xu Youtong and scolded him.
Xu Youtong's face was red with anger, but his status was too low compared to Huo Tian Tian. He didn't have the right to scold him back. He could only endure it no matter how angry he was.
Zhu Jinghong pursed his lips and said solemnly, "Your Highness, you're drunk. You should go back and rest …"
"I'm not drunk. Tonight, I'll have a good time … Hahaha …"
Huo Tian Tian was in a good mood after slapping Zhu Jinghong in the face in front of everyone. He laughed wildly.
Zhao Ban watched from the side with a smile on his face. Huo Tian Tian was being too ostentatious. Zhu Jinghong, on the other hand, was patient and unhurried. Even when his friend was insulted, he didn't show any emotion. His thoughts were deep enough.
However, with Zhu Jinghong's personality, why would he reject Huo Tian Tian and purposely come to the Wan Chun Pavilion? This was really interesting.
Huo Zhen ignored the unhappy Zhu Jinghong and walked to Yan Feihong with the wine jug in his hand. He said calmly, "If you drink this wine jug today, I will forgive you. Otherwise … "
"Otherwise what?" A man's deep voice came from the courtyard and interrupted Huo Tian Tian.
Huo Tian Tian laughed without turning his head. "Otherwise, I'll have a taste of a roasted swallow today!"
Yan Feihong's expression changed, and her eyes turned cold. She had practiced swordsmanship with Yan Shisan and traveled the world to hone her sword essence. A swordsman could be subdued but not humiliated. She couldn't stand Huo Tian Tian's overbearing attitude.
Huo Tian Tian was even more pleased when he sensed the sword essence condensing on Yan Feihong. His eyes shone brightly. "You dare to show off in front of me? You're asking for death! Today, I'll have a taste of a roasted swallow … "
Huo Tian Tian locked Yan Feihong's sword essence with his Primal Qi. He slowly turned around and was about to continue showing off when he saw a man in black standing at the door.
The man was bald and tall. His facial features were chiseled, and there was a domineering and flamboyant air between his brows. It was Gao Zhengyang.
