Chapter 359 Qichun Fengyun 6(1/2)
The Sun Quan banquet was not set up in Qichun County, but on the Sun Quan's boat on the Yangtze River. Sun Quan's boat was a huge 6,000-stone tower ship called Tiger Zun. It was only created last year and is also the largest warship in Jiangdong. It cannot sail into Taihu Lake and is usually moored on the Yangtze River outside Wuhu County.
The head and tail of the entire ship is more than 20 meters long and nearly 8 meters high. From a distance, it looks like a small hill moving on the river. There is a huge tiger-headed wood carving on the bow of the ship, with a fierce and ferocious face. If you look at it, it is like a huge tiger lying on the river, which is heartbreaking.
The banquet was held in the lobby on the first floor of the big ship. The lobby was extremely wide, five zhang wide and ten zhang long, just like a small palace, with magnificent layout, with carpets on the boat boards, and the walls on all sides were full of Wu Jin embroidered by skillful craftsmen. They were either colorful or fresh and elegant. There was a bronze beast-headed incense burner in the corners of the walls, with blue smoke rising and faint fragrance filling the cabin.
In the upper left corner, there were more than a dozen musicians playing the piano and sheng, making the music in the lobby sounds filled the ears and were particularly lively. Amid the melodious music, a group of dancers danced lightly with long sleeves, graceful dances, as if a fairy was coming.
There are more than twenty small tables around the lobby, with golden bowls and jade plates on the table. On the soft mat behind the small table are high-ranking civil and military officials from Jiangdong. On the north side are two large tables, with the owner Sun Quan sitting on the left, Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, on the right, and on the other side are the accompanying seats. The first person on the left is the envoy of Cao Cao, Jiang Gan, and the first person on the right is the representative of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the second person on the left are Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and other civil and military officials.
At this time, a crisp sound of cloud board sounded in the lobby, and the drums stopped. The dancers retreated one after another. Sun Quan picked up his ear cup and stood up and smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Today, the guests from all walks of life gathered together to discuss the major affairs of the world. I am the boss and I am not very careful in entertaining you. I would like to toast you to apologize for your crimes."
After saying that, he picked up his ear cup and drank it all. Everyone accompanied him to drink a cup. Sun Quan smiled and said, "I won't talk about business today, I will only talk about the wind and moon. I will eat and drink as much as I can, and I will stop drunk."
Everyone laughed, "It's great, I only talk about the wind and moon."
Sun Quan applauded twice, and the cloud board knocked again, and the drums and music were heard. The dancer entered again, and toasted each other in the lobby, which was very lively. At this time, Jiang Gan picked up a glass of wine and came to Liu Jing, and smiled and said, "Every time the military banquet, Prime Minister Cao mentioned the heroes of the world, he always talked about Prince Jing, and wanted to drink together. Jiang Gan heard about Prince Daming for a long time, and I will see him today. I respect Prince a glass."
Liu Jing stood up and said, "Sir, you are so polite. Liu Jing's younger generation, how dare you be a hero? I'll respect Mr. "
He raised his ear cup and drank it all, and looked at Jiang Gan with a smile. Jiang Gan felt guilty and laughed dryly, and he also drank it all. At this time, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ziyi, I heard that Prime Minister Cao used to discuss heroes by cooking wine, and only Meng De and Xuande were allowed. Now, is it a hero in the world who has a new man, Ziyi, who might as well tell me."
Zhang Zhao also smiled and said, "This interesting thing happens to be accompanied by wine, Mr. Jiang will tell you."
Jiang Gan had no choice but to smile at everyone and said, "Prime Minister Cao used to cook wine to discuss heroes, but the past is happening. When he returned from his expedition to Wuhuan last year, the Prime Minister had a banquet for civil and military officials. Wherever he came, he said that in the past, all the heroes in the world were terrifying, and the heroes in the world were only Liu Yanqing in Jingzhou and Sun Zhongmou from Jiangdong."
Everyone laughed. At this time, Cheng Pu winked at the Duwei Ling Tong. Ling Tong understood and stood up and said, "Since you are a hero, you should use swords to cheer up. Why listen to the sound of miserables? I would like to dance the sword to cheer up the lord and Liuzhou Mu."
Zhou Yu's face changed. Just as he was about to stop him, Sun Quan nodded happily and said, "General Ling has this intention, so he can agree."
Ling Tong drew his sword in his hand and walked into the hall with great strides. With the sword swing, the cold light rose everywhere. Ling Tong sang loudly: "The hero is already dusk, the dust has not disappeared, the wind in Jingzhou is rising, Jiangdong is out of the sheath, and only the winner can invite him..."
His singing was desolate, and the sword became stronger and stronger. Gradually, he approached Liu Jing. He stabbed with a sword and took it back about one foot from Liu Jing's throat. Liu Jing felt the murderous intent in the sword, his eyes slowly narrowed, and held the hilt of the sword in his hand. At this moment, Zhou Yu could no longer bear it and stood up and shouted, "Emperor Ling, have you drunk too much wine and retreated to me?"
The lobby was silent, and Sun Quan suddenly came back to his senses and stared at Ling Tong with a sharp look. Ling Tong suddenly burst into tears and slashed at Liu Jing. Shen Mi rushed out behind Liu Jing, and his movements were as fast as ape, and he immediately threw Ling Tong to the ground.
Sun Quan was furious, slapped the table, pointed at Ling Tong and shouted: "Come on, catch me this guy."
More than a dozen guards rushed up, held Ling Tong, and tied him up with ropes. Ling Tong shouted loudly: "Liu Jing, I will not be revenge for the revenge of killing my father, and I, Ling Tong, will not be a human being."
Everyone then realized that Ling Tong wanted to avenge the murder of his father. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Hou would not be able to explain clearly. The guard pressed Ling Tong to kneel on the ground. Sun Quan was extremely angry and swung the gold wine bottle and smashed it hard at him. The wine bottle could hold a bucket of wine, which was extremely heavy. The wine bottle hit Ling Tong's forehead, and blood was flowing.
Sun Quan knew in his heart that if he didn't take any ruthless actions today, he would be unable to explain to Liu Jing. He angrily said, "Push it down and behead it."
Several guards dragged Ling Tong and left, but Liu Jing waved his hand and shouted: "Let's wait."
When Liu Jing saw countless people pleading for him, even Zhou Yu, he smiled at Sun Quan and said, "Mr. Wu, let me say a few words to General Ling."
Sun Quan nodded, "The life and death of this person shall be decided by the state governor."
The guard pushed Ling Tong back, and Ling Tong lowered his head with hatred and said nothing. Liu Jing then slowly said: "In the past, when Chaisang fought, my father was killed by me, but the two armies fought, only about life and death. If I don't kill him, he will kill me. If he dies, he can take revenge. If I die, who will avenge me?"
"If I die in a fight, I have nothing to say, but my father has left the city, but you shot him to death with an arrow. This is different," Ling Tong said with hatred.
"What's the difference? He didn't die on the battlefield?"
Liu Jing stared at Ling Tong and his tone became stern, "If I rush into your home and kill your father, you can indeed take revenge, but I killed him in the battle at the head of Chaisang City. What's wrong with it? Your father killed so many Jiangxia soldiers and killed Jiangxia general Wang Tai. If you want to seek revenge on me, then who will they seek to seek revenge?"
Ling Tong was speechless and bowed his head without saying a word. At this time, Liu Jing said to Sun Quan: "I'll ask Mr. Wu for love. For his youthful and ignorantness, let him spare his life."
Sun Quan was grateful. If it were not forbidden, he would not want to kill Ling Tong. He pointed at Ling Tong and scolded: "For the sake of the provincial governor pleading for you, I will spare you death, but the crime of living is inevitable. If someone comes, push him down, beat him up, and demote him to a soldier."
This is how Sun Quan can be a human being. Of course, the executioner would not really beat two hundred military sticks so many times. He could also be promoted after being demoted to a soldier, but he gave Liu Jing enough face and made Liu Jing feel comfortable, and this matter was over.
Ling Tong gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was pushed down by the soldiers. Sun Quan took down the short sword in his waist and handed it to Chen Mi and said, "The hero is in danger and saves the master. Sun Quan is grateful and has no respect. This sword expresses his feelings."
"Thank you Wuhou to admire the sword" Chen Mi took the sword with both hands and bowed and retreated.
Liu Jing bowed to Sun Quan and smiled: "Wu Hou is convincing in his work."
Sun Quan waved his hand and smiled, "I won't mention this matter. Let's continue drinking, where did you just talk about it?"
Zhang Zhao next to him smiled and said, "Don't talk about state affairs, just about the romance and moon."
"Yes, just talk about the wind and moon."
Sun Quan laughed, and the drum music immediately sounded, and a group of dancers flew in again. Jiang Gan drank several drinks, and seemed a little overwhelmed, but he no longer spoke as fearful as before. He laughed loudly: "When it comes to Fengyue, Prime Minister Cao proposed to marry the sister of Wuhou for his second son. I don't know what Wuhou thinks."
Sun Quan smiled faintly, "Although this is a beautiful thing, my sister only marrys heroes in the world, and Cao Zhang doesn't seem to be a hero."
Speaking of this, he looked back at Liu Jing and smiled and said, "I think Liuzhou Mu is a hero in the world, but he can be my sister-in-law."
Liu Jing smiled bitterly. Although Sun Quan's attitude is admirable, this way of refusing is a bit confusing...
Zhou Yu smiled again and said, "We all over Jiangdong, all the soldiers and civilians sincerely hope that Princess Shangxiang can get married one day earlier and get married to Jingzhou, which is the best thing."
Everyone understood what Zhou Yu meant and burst into laughter.
At this time, Liu Jing looked at Jiang Gan, and Jiang Gan immediately lowered his head. After a moment, Jiang Gan stood up and said a little drunk: "Actually, my prime minister also said in private that the sister of Marquis Wu is too strong, and he hopes to marry Da Qiao for his second son."
As soon as these words were said, the lobby was silent again, and all the generals were furious. Da Qiao was the wife of the former lord. Cao Cao dared to insult his lord so much. Many people pressed on the hilt of the sword, drew the sword half out, glared at Jiang Gan, and even Sun Quan changed his color and snorted heavily.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Zhao quickly smoothed out and said, "Da Qiao is the wife of Bofu. How could Prime Minister Cao say such things? Mr. Jiang must have been drunk too much and was talking nonsense. Help him down quickly."
At this time, Zhuge Liang sneered and said, "Prime Minister Cao does have this intention, but he is not asking for marriage for his son, but he wants it himself, not only Da Qiao, but even Xiao Qiao is also what he expects."
All eyes in the lobby looked at Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu, who was sitting next to Zhuge Liang, changed his face. He said coldly: "What evidence does sir have to say this?"
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "I know that Cao Cao once built a bronze croaker platform and vowed to accept beauties from all over the world. His son Cao Zhi wrote a tribute to the bronze croaker platform, which can prove Cao Cao's idea."
Liu Jing asked, "Can you remember this Tongquetai Fu?"
"Its literary and beautiful things are remembered by Liang"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, stood up and recited slowly, "I look at the fruits of the garden when I see the long flow of Zhangshui; I stand on both platforms on the left and right, there are jade dragons and golden phoenixes, and I hold two trees in the southeast, and enjoy sharing with them day and night..."
Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and Taishi Ci kicked over the table, angrily rushed to Jiang Gan, and Lu Meng hurriedly hugged him, "Marquis Wu is above, Ziyi cannot draw his sword."
Taishici suddenly woke up, put his sword in the sheath, pointed at Jiang Gan and cursed: "I wish I could eat your meat and sleep with your skin to vent my hatred."
Jiang Gan was so scared that he crawled on the ground and bowed to Sun Quan, saying, "Dan said nothing after drinking, and hoped that Marquis Wu would spare his life."
Sun Quan was so angry that his face turned pale. He couldn't say a word for a long time. Before Sun Quan could speak, Liu Jing begged for Jiang Gan and said: "The two countries are fighting each other and the envoy is not killed. Mr. Jiang is just an envoy. This matter has nothing to do with him. I hope he will not take his anger on him and try to ensure his safety."
Sun Quan suppressed his anger and waved his sleeves, "He has drunk too much, help him down."
A guard hurriedly helped Jiang Gan down. Zhang Zhao looked at Jiang Gan's back staggering away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even if the Marquis of Wu was willing, the generals below would not tolerate it. They were all damn Kong Ming. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao glared at Zhuge Liang fiercely.
Liu Jing also looked at Zhuge Liang and thought to himself, did he see the clue?
Zhuge Liang seemed to have no idea, picked up the white fungus and yellow moustache on the table and savored the wine in the cup. Sun Quan's banquet was not set up in Qichun County, but on the Sun Quan's boat on the Yangtze River. Sun Quan's boat was a huge tower ship of 6,000 stone, called Tiger Zun. It was only created last year and is also the largest warship in Jiangdong at present. It cannot sail into Taihu Lake and is usually moored on the Yangtze River outside Wuhu County.
The head and tail of the entire ship is more than 20 meters long and nearly 8 meters high. From a distance, it looks like a small hill moving on the river. There is a huge tiger-headed wood carving on the bow of the ship, with a fierce and ferocious face. If you look at it, it is like a huge tiger lying on the river, which is heartbreaking.
The banquet was held in the lobby on the first floor of the big ship. The lobby was extremely wide, five zhang wide and ten zhang long, just like a small palace, with magnificent layout, with carpets on the boat boards, and the walls on all sides were full of Wu Jin embroidered by skillful craftsmen. They were either colorful or fresh and elegant. There was a bronze beast-headed incense burner in the corners of the walls, with blue smoke rising and faint fragrance filling the cabin.
In the upper left corner, there were more than a dozen musicians playing the piano and sheng, making the music in the lobby sounds filled the ears and were particularly lively. Amid the melodious music, a group of dancers danced lightly with long sleeves, graceful dances, as if a fairy was coming.
There are more than twenty small tables around the lobby, with golden bowls and jade plates on the table. On the soft mat behind the small table are high-ranking civil and military officials from Jiangdong. On the north side are two large tables, with the owner Sun Quan sitting on the left, Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, on the right, and on the other side are the accompanying seats. The first person on the left is the envoy of Cao Cao, Jiang Gan, and the first person on the right is the representative of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the second person on the left are Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and other civil and military officials.
At this time, a crisp sound of cloud board sounded in the lobby, and the drums stopped. The dancers retreated one after another. Sun Quan picked up his ear cup and stood up and smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Today, the guests from all walks of life gathered together to discuss the major affairs of the world. I am the boss and I am not very careful in entertaining you. I would like to toast you to apologize for your crimes."
After saying that, he picked up his ear cup and drank it all. Everyone accompanied him to drink a cup. Sun Quan smiled and said, "I won't talk about business today, I will only talk about the wind and moon. I will eat and drink as much as I can, and I will stop drunk."
Everyone laughed, "It's great, I only talk about the wind and moon."
Sun Quan applauded twice, and the cloud board knocked again, and the drums and music were heard. The dancer entered again, and toasted each other in the lobby, which was very lively. At this time, Jiang Gan picked up a glass of wine and came to Liu Jing, and smiled and said, "Every time the military banquet, Prime Minister Cao mentioned the heroes of the world, he always talked about Prince Jing, and wanted to drink together. Jiang Gan heard about Prince Daming for a long time, and I will see him today. I respect Prince a glass."
Liu Jing stood up and said, "Sir, you are so polite. Liu Jing's younger generation, how dare you be a hero? I'll respect Mr. "
He raised his ear cup and drank it all, and looked at Jiang Gan with a smile. Jiang Gan felt guilty and laughed dryly, and he also drank it all. At this time, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ziyi, I heard that Prime Minister Cao used to discuss heroes by cooking wine, and only Meng De and Xuande were allowed.

Everyone laughed. At this time, Cheng Pu winked at the Duwei Ling Tong. Ling Tong understood and stood up and said, "Since you are a hero, you should use swords to cheer up. Why listen to the sound of miserables? I would like to dance the sword to cheer up the lord and Liuzhou Mu."
Zhou Yu's face changed. Just as he was about to stop him, Sun Quan nodded happily and said, "General Ling has this intention, so he can agree."
Ling Tong drew his sword in his hand and walked into the hall with great strides. With the sword swing, the cold light rose everywhere. Ling Tong sang loudly: "The hero is already dusk, the dust has not disappeared, the wind in Jingzhou is rising, Jiangdong is out of the sheath, and only the winner can invite him..."
His singing was desolate, and the sword became stronger and stronger. Gradually, he approached Liu Jing. He stabbed with a sword and took it back about one foot from Liu Jing's throat.

More than a dozen guards rushed up, held Ling Tong, and tied him up with ropes. Ling Tong shouted loudly: "Liu Jing, I will not be revenge for the revenge of killing my father, and I, Ling Tong, will not be a human being."
Everyone then realized that Ling Tong wanted to avenge the murder of his father. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Hou would not be able to explain clearly. The guard pressed Ling Tong to kneel on the ground. Sun Quan was extremely angry and swung the gold wine bottle and smashed it hard at him.

"If I die in a fight, I have nothing to say, but my father has left the city, but you shot him to death with an arrow. This is different," Ling Tong said with hatred.
"What's the difference? He didn't die on the battlefield?"
To be continued...
