This kind of fire-spitting acrobatics was very cool, but in Ang Lee's eyes, there was nothing strange about it at all. In the movies and TV series in his previous life, he had seen too many such scenes. For this kind of low-level performance, he had long been numb.
However, the abnormal performance of these two performers quickly made Ang Lee feel that this performance did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.
Sure enough, a man holding a torch quickly ran past Ang Lee's eyes, and the man chasing behind him spat out a fire dragon.
"Huhuhu"
A huge flame ignited in the air, completely blocking Ang Lee from everyone's sight.
Everyone at the scene was shocked and looked at each other nervously. Zhao Yefu stood up nervously and looked at Ang Lee worriedly.
The flames quickly vanished, and everyone focused their gazes over. Li An sat upright and motionless with a cup of wine in his hand. He was enjoying the performance as he tasted the wine, and it was as if the dangerous scene from before hadn't happened at all.
Seeing that Ang Lee was unscathed, Zhao Yefu sat down with relief, and everyone's hanging hearts were all relieved.
However, Ang Lee was calm on the surface, but his heart had already set off a huge wave. The huge flame just now almost burned his eyebrows. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but Ang Lee understood that this temporary flame could not hurt him. Moreover, the performer was obviously targeting him. Perhaps he was asked by someone to test him, or he wanted to give him a show of strength and let him know what to do.
No matter what the other party's purpose was, Ang Lee must not show fear and retreat. Otherwise, the opponent's arrogance would definitely become more arrogant and domineering. Completely ignoring the danger was the best counterattack to the potential opponent.
"Li Xiaowei is really a hero. In the face of danger, his face did not change. Amazing."
After the fire-spitting performance, Zhao Mengjie looked at Ang Lee with appreciation.
Ang Lee stood up and smiled, "Minister, you flatter me. So, this program was arranged by the minister."
Zhao Mengjie shook her head gently, "These programs were arranged by the minister, and the people were also selected by the minister. It has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Daiwen.
Ang Lee turned to look at Zhao Daiwen, only to see that Zhao Daiwen's expression was normal, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Yefu stood up gently and looked at the crowd. "Let's celebrate together." After that, he walked towards Ang Lee and took Ang Lee's hand to dance beside the bonfire.
Led by Zhao Yefu, all the dignitaries of Dongnu Province came forward and danced around the bonfire hand in hand. The guests of the Tang dynasty were infected by the dancing atmosphere. Led by Xi Yu, they also walked to the bonfire and danced randomly.
In fact, the ceremonial banquets of the Tang dynasty also included dancing, such as Hu Xuan Dance, Tuozhi Dance, and so on. These were all introduced to the Central Plains by the Hu people. The royal family of the Tang dynasty itself had the blood of the Hu people. Therefore, in the society of the Tang dynasty, dancing was also a kind of social interaction. Xi Yu and other officials of the Tang dynasty were no strangers to dancing, but they did not dance well enough.
Zhao Yefu took Ang Lee's hand and danced back and forth around the bonfire. Ang Lee was not good at dancing, but fortunately, he was talented and intelligent. He learned this way of dancing in a very short time and could keep up with Zhao Yefu's rhythm.
After dancing for a while, Zhao Yefu was a little tired and stopped to rest. Seeing this, Zhao Mengjie came over with a hot face. "The brave and invincible Li Xiaowei, the great hero in my heart, can I dance with you?" "Yes, yes.
"I'm the great hero in your heart."
Ang Lee was stunned and looked at Zhao Yefu beside him at a loss.
Zhao Yefu didn't seem to care about his aunt's hot eyes on Ang Lee. He smiled and said, "Xiaowei Li, my aunt is the most beautiful woman in Dongnu Province. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
What does he mean? Don't they say that women are born to be jealous? Why does Zhao Yefu want me to be with his aunt?
Ang Lee was confused and seemed to be at a loss.
Even though he could be calm in the face of danger, but in front of the pretty Lil 'Miss, he would often be nervous and not know what to do.
"The outstanding man of the Tang Empire, the great hero in my heart, come on."
Zhao Mengjie smiled enchantingly and pulled Ang Lee to dance a dance unique to Dongnu Province beside the bonfire.
Damn, this is not dancing. This is unscrupulous teasing. I'm still young. How can I stand this tenderness?
Zhao Mengjie's enchanting eyes swept over Ang Lee frequently. Her twisting posture was also extremely charming, which made Ang Lee complain incessantly.
"Ouch!"
Zhao Mengjie staggered and fell into Ang Lee's arms. She took the opportunity to hug Ang Lee tightly.
"Oh no."
Ang Lee was caught off guard and pushed hard under Zhao Mengjie's lower abdomen.
"Little rascal."
Zhao Mengjie smiled and leaned over to Ang Lee's ear and gently reprimanded him.
Ang Lee was embarrassed and quickly helped Zhao Mengjie up, "Internal Minister, I was careless just now."
Zhao Mengjie didn't seem to care. She pulled Ang Lee's hands and continued to dance around the bonfire. She continued to eat Ang Lee's tofu.
A large group of prominent people gathered around the bonfire and danced unscrupulously. In the eyes of the later generations, it was somewhat inconceivable. However, this was the era. Even the Emperor of the Tang Empire would dance at a banquet, let alone a small foreign country like the East Maiden Kingdom.
Dancing was a way to socialize, especially in small foreign countries. It was an extremely important part of social communication.
Later generations of science also proved that a group of people dancing happily together was extremely beneficial to people's health. The pleasure generated by dancing could make people live longer. At the same time, dancing was a whole-body exercise, which was extremely beneficial to physical exercise. Therefore, it was extremely wise for the ancients to choose dancing as a way to socialize.
The lively and cheerful bonfire banquet lasted until nine o 'clock in the morning. With a heart full of joy, everyone left one by one. Ang Lee and Xi Yu also returned to the three-story house that Zhao Yefu had arranged for them.
Xi Yu drank a little too much and fell asleep as soon as he returned to his residence. The officials of the Ministry of Rites also quickly fell asleep. However, Ang Lee wasn't too sleepy. After all, it was only nine o 'clock in the evening. In later generations, almost no young people would go to bed so early.
"Shouyu, Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, did you find anything at tonight's banquet?"
Li Fei-Shouyu looked at Ang Lee, "Nothing. The Internal Minister said that tonight's program was arranged by the Great Minister, Zhao Daiwen. However, why did Zhao Daiwen ask the jugglers to test you? Is there something wrong with Zhao Daiwen?"
"Big Brother, this Zhao Daiwen is gentle and elegant. He seems like a very good-natured scholar. He doesn't seem like a treacherous villain."
"Big Brother, just from tonight's situation, it seems like we can't find anything. I wonder if Guangcheng, Erniu, and the others will find anything."
"Click, click, click."
Following the sound of the door turning, Zhang Guangcheng and Erniu strode in.
"Guangcheng, Erniu, what's the situation? Did the three spies contact anyone after they returned?"
Ang Lee couldn't wait to ask.
Zhang Guangcheng and Erniu both shook their heads.
"Lieutenant Li, our men have been following the three of them. So far, the three of them have been staying here obediently and have not come into contact with any outsiders. However, our brothers are still taking turns to guard them. As soon as we discover anything, we will immediately report it."
Zhang Guangcheng replied with a serious expression.
Ang Lee nodded lightly and asked Zhang Guangcheng to continue monitoring the three spies. At the same time, he gave Erniu another task. He asked him to quickly find out the distribution of the military forces in Dongnu Province and the situation of the Tibetan military forces at the border of Dongnu Province. This would allow him to understand the overall situation in Dongnu Province.
"Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, find a large net and place it on the roof."
"Big Brother, what are we doing?"
"Have you forgotten? When we entered the Queen's City today, the military flag was blown away by the wind. This is definitely not a good sign. I'm worried that there will be assassins coming to assassinate us. So, I'm making preparations in advance. If the assassins really appear, we can immediately capture them."
Ang Lee smiled faintly and gestured for the two of them to immediately go and make preparations.
After that, Ang Lee took out the map in his arms and studied it carefully under the oil lamp to analyze the situation around Dongnu Province.
####
In the Queen's City, in a dark study room, a statue-like middle-aged man sat quietly. As it was too dark, no one could see his expression.
Ha Mi Guo walked into the study room quietly and lit up an oil lamp.
"Master, Da Lun is here."
Ha Mi Guo reminded him softly.
"What? Da Lun is here? Quickly invite him in."
The middle-aged man stood up from his seat abruptly.
"There's no need to invite me in. I'm already here. Long time no see, my old friend."
The person who entered the study room was a man wearing a black cloak. He was also a middle-aged man. He was the Tubo Da Lun Wu Lun Yangguo, the right-hand man of the Tubo Zhan Pu Chisong Dezan. He was equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Tang dynasty.
The Tubo Da Lun personally came to Dongnu Province's King's City. This meant that the Tubo Zhan Pu attached great importance to Dongnu Province. They understood the importance of Dongnu Province very well. For this reason, they did not hesitate to send the Da Lun over.
"Da Lun, why did you come personally?"
The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised, but his expression was more of a surprise.
The Tubo Zhan Pu sent his right-hand man over. This was enough to show the Tubo Zhan Pu's sincerity and that the Tubo Zhan Pu would not give up on supporting him.
Wulun Yangguo sighed, "I sent a hundred elite warriors to carry out an operation in the Tang Empire. Originally, I wanted to frame the Tang Imperial Court and achieve our plan. I didn't expect that the hundred warriors would be completely annihilated. Both operations failed. Later, I found out that my Tubo warriors had all fallen in the hands of a Tang Army Lieutenant named Li An. It's really outrageous. A small Tang Army Lieutenant actually ruined our big plan. How can I, Wulun Yangguo, swallow this anger?"
How can I swallow this? "" To tell you the truth, most of the warriors under my command were also annihilated by Ang Lee. Only three warriors came back alive. This Ang Lee is indeed very powerful. However, he is now in Queen's City. I'm not afraid that I can't deal with him under my nose. "
The middle-aged man said hatefully.
Wulon Yangguo nodded, "I heard that Ang Lee came to Queen's City. That's why I came here personally. I want to see what kind of God this Ang Lee is to be able to annihilate 100 warriors of my Tubo."
"Da Lun, Ha Mi Guo has already set up a plan to kill with a borrowed knife. I'm afraid there will be a good show tonight."
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details."
The middle-aged man leaned over and whispered a few words in Wulon Yangguo's ear. Wulon Yangguo nodded repeatedly and looked at Ha Mi Guo with an admiring gaze.
"Okay, we'll wait for a good show tonight."
