Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 153: Kill the White Horse and Make an Alliance, Birds in a Cage of Heaven and Earth,

【At the table!】

【Everyone exudes his or her own aura to a greater or lesser extent. 】

[Having been in a high position for a long time, one has his own bearing!]

[Even the Korean monarch, although he showed great appreciation for the dancers' performance on the surface, there was also an imperceptible contempt deep in his eyes.]

[This difference in status and identity seems to be a natural gap that is difficult to cross.]

[However, this is not the case with Lu Chen. ]

【Surprise Her!】

[As the night deepened, the joyful singing and dancing in Gaoque Tower gradually faded away, and the focus turned to the main topic. All parties began to discuss the specific details of the covenant in depth. ]

【Final decision!】

[The next day, at the bank of the water control area, they signed an alliance by slaying a white horse as an oath.]

[Until a bright light appeared on the horizon.]

[There is movement on the second floor!]

【at this time.】

[In the side room on the second floor, a group of dancers waited quietly. They even breathed carefully and dared to open the door only a little. Their eyes passed through the narrow gap and looked into the room that would determine their future fate.]

[They were filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Every time they heard footsteps outside the door, their hearts tightened.]

[These women of the north wind were once the daughters of officials. ]

[Their families suffered misfortunes in the court, which implicated them. Their status plummeted, and they were demoted to musicians and prostitutes, and they were never allowed to redeem themselves!]

[Although they were in a humble position, they lived a comfortable life, wearing gold and silver, comparable to the ladies of wealthy families.]

【But no freedom!】

【A few days ago.】

[The chief eunuch of the Rites and Teachings Office brought an unexpected message:]

[As long as they successfully perform the song and dance at the banquet in Gaoque Tower, they will be able to escape from slavery and become good husbands.]

【After hearing this, all the girls signed up enthusiastically!】

[The head eunuch smiled and warned them that if the performance did not start as scheduled or if any mistakes occurred, all the dancers would face the death penalty.]

[This cruel rule made the dancers' hearts sink to the bottom again, and they had to be very careful.]

[The dance leader has been working in the music industry for nearly ten years and has the most experience.]

[If you don’t have human rights, you might as well die. ]

[Many sisters were inspired!]

[Some are older sisters, they are like canaries, without freedom, how are they different from the dead?]

[Some wanted to be with their lovers outside. Only after they were freed from slavery could they marry legitimately.]

[They carefully selected 28 sisters who are good at singing and dancing, and put them into intense and intensive rehearsals.]

[In just three days and three nights, they practiced every movement and every expression over and over again, almost without sleep.]

[At the crossroads of fate, no one dares to slack off!]

【Only today!】

[They also did not sleep all night, and the twenty-eight dancers were extremely nervous. ]

【At this time!】

[Finally, there was movement on the second floor.]

[The leader of the dance, the oldest and most skilled woman among the group, mustered up her courage and slowly opened half of the window to look in.]

【Just see!】

[Inside the wing room, a shadowy figure slowly walks up the stairs to the first floor.]

[It seems that she peeked in a little too late, and only two figures were left. ]

[One of them smiled at him.]

[It’s that Lu Chen!]

[Her heart trembled, and in a hurry, she closed the window with a short and rapid "snap", startling the group of beautiful girls behind her. They looked at each other with anxiety in their eyes, fearing that something bad had happened!]

[Just when everyone was tense, footsteps came closer from afar, and the girls started to get nervous again.]

[The door was pushed open with a bang, and the person who came in was the powerful eunuch in the etiquette room, and he couldn't hide his joy on his face.]

[“Girls, you worked hard last night. His Majesty is very pleased and has pardoned your slavery. From now on, you are free and decent women.”]

[“Whether it is the Silifang of Chengtian or the gentle place of Qingxiao Restaurant, you can choose whatever you want. The sky is high and the sea is vast. You are no longer just prostitutes!”]

[After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry. ]

[Leaving behind a room full of dancers in a state of shock and joy. ]

[The eunuch's voice was shrill and hoarse, and the girls felt as if it was all a dream. The sisters burst into tears of joy and hugged each other tightly.]

[The head of the etiquette room did not pay any attention to it, but hurried to the window and looked down at Gaoque Tower.]

[The man got on his horse and left, feeling lost.] [A sister behind him wiped her tears and asked with some confusion and expectation:]

[“Sister Rong, where are we going from now on? Are we going back to Chengtian?”]

[The woman's name is Ouyang Rongyue.]

[After listening to this, Ouyang Rongyue thought about it and suddenly an idea came to her mind.]

【“Go to Yandi!”】

[Her father was killed by Tuoba Shuyi after he came to power, so she had a blood feud with the north.]

[Go to the Yan territory ruled by the King of Yan!]

……

……

[At the edge of the water, the wind and clouds gather! 】

[Forty to fifty thousand cavalrymen lined up to wait, and the black army array stood on both banks, rendering this waterfront solemn and majestic!]

【The wind is blowing!】

【Water control is turbulent!】

[Beside the magnificent bridge that spans the water, war drums are beating. ]

[It is said that the white horse has the divine power to connect heaven and earth, and offering it as a sacrifice can establish an immortal alliance.]

[Tuoba Shuyi, following the ancient ritual, ordered people to lead a pure and flawless white horse to the bank of the water control site.]

[With an order, the sharp blade cut through the sky, the white horse cried, blood gushed out, dyeing the land near the water control red.]

[The large bronze tripod was carried here by several guards.]

[The blood of the white horse was carefully injected into the cauldron.]

[Tuoba Shuyi, wearing a battle robe and with a determined look in his eyes, took the lead in lightly touching the hot blood in the cauldron with his fingers and staining his forehead.]

[He swore an oath to Zhishui and Changshengtian!]

【The White Horse Alliance, for ten years the four countries did not harm the Yan territory at all.】

[If anyone violates this oath, the four nations will attack him together!]

【Yuwen Yan and Gongsun Zhongshu had blood on their brows one after another.】

[This Qianyuan Empress only took off her mask on the shore of the flood control, under the long wind of the water. ]

[Her extremely beautiful face shocked everyone, and she slowly made a covenant.]

【You make a final covenant here. 】

[“The land of Yanbei will have ten years of rest and recuperation!”]

【As your alliance is signed. 】

[The drums on both sides continue to beat continuously, and the horns sound loudly. ]

[There is an eagle flying in the sky!]

【Tuoba Shuyi and the others all smiled.】

【Ten years later, we will fight for the world again!】

[You didn't stay long, just crossed the bridge and returned to the north.]

【You say goodbye and leave!】

[You and Lu Yu slowly cross the bridge above the thousands of troops on both sides.]

[Tuoba Shuyi looks at your back and thinks a lot. 】

[Yuwen Yan looks at the two of you, and his smile fades.]

[The empress put on her ghost mask again, her expression could not be seen clearly, but she did not look back for a long time.]

【Gongsun Zhongshu also said goodbye!】

【The White Horse Alliance ends.】

【The world will be at peace for ten years. 】

……

……

Lu Chen and Lu Yu slowly crossed the bridge.

Hurry up!
The autumn weather is refreshing!
Lu Chen put on his hat again and looked at the Beifeng soldiers on both sides of the river.

The wind from the water-control river blows upwards.

Lu Chen held down his hat with one hand to prevent it from blowing away, raised his head to look towards the north windy sky, and said slowly:
"The world is like a bird in a cage, the rivers and lakes are like rain in the temple, and life is like duckweed on the water."

After hearing this, Lu Yu joked: "Brother, it doesn't rhyme."

Lu Chen smiled and whispered, as if only he could hear it:
"Play chess against the celestial being!"
