Chapter 8 Chapter 8: A Song of Wind and Thunder Rewards the King

The room suddenly became quiet, Qiu Yiting and Chunyu brothers and sisters looked at Feng Chenxue in astonishment. She said not to be with them? After a moment of silence, Chunyu Shenyi spoke first, "Chen Xue, you said you won't go back with us? Are you and Kong Zhao still staying here? How can we rest assured?" Feng Chenxue shook his head, and said calmly: "You can rest assured, I can naturally protect me and Kong Zhao." "You'd better come with us, let us put you two girls in this wolf's den, how can we rest assured." Chunyu Shenxiu immediately answered.Ever since she heard about the tragic history of Shanyou's massacre of the young and old and raped women that night, even now, seeing all the men in Shanyou wanted to beat them up.

"I came here to find the qin, and I won't leave until I find the qin." Feng Chenxue looked at Chunyu brothers and sisters and said, she was also grateful for their genuine concern, "Although wolves are scary, I also have the ability to kill wolves." Power." "But..." Chunyu wanted to say more. Feng Chenxue shook his head and interrupted his words, looking at her with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "I have made up my mind, you can go back on your own tomorrow." Although her voice was light, but her meaning was strong, Chunyu brothers and sisters couldn't help but silenced, their eyes turned to Qiu Yiting, hoping that he could persuade Feng Chenxue.They were really worried that the two girls would stay in Shanyou.

When they were talking, Qiu Yiting glanced at Kong Zhao inadvertently, but found that she didn't pay attention to their conversation at all, instead she was focused on embroidering her handkerchief, and three delicate roses bloomed on the snow-white silk cloth flower.He moved his eyes from the rose to Feng Chenxue, and heard her say in an indifferent and irreversible tone: "I have made up my mind." He unconsciously raised his hand into his bosom, touched the kit with his fingertips, and for a moment, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.Then he looked at Feng Chenxue, and said lightly and clearly: "Are you going to ignore Pill City?"

His words made Chunyu brothers and sisters turn their eyes to look at him, with surprise and puzzlement in their expressions. Feng Chenxue twitched her eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Dancheng has his own brothers and sisters to report the letter." Qiu Yiting shook his head, "Going to Shanyou and Caifei must have been planned for a long time. The purpose is to capture Yuezhou. They will attack the city with an army of tens of thousands, and the strength of Dancheng is not enough to resist." He looked at the wind. Chen Xue's eyes asked her in a calm and natural tone, "Could it be that you can sit indifferently in the capital of Shanyou and listen to Shanyou Jie's report that Dancheng has been captured?"

Feng Chenxue quietly looked at Qiu Yiting's bright and brilliant eyes, neither retreating nor hiding nor fearing.For a moment, she also said in a calm almost indifferent tone: "Whether it is Jingcheng or Dancheng, their survival is your responsibility, General Jingyan, and you are also concerned about the life and death of Guan Chunyu's family, but it has nothing to do with me. " As soon as these words came out, not only Chunyu brothers and sisters were shocked, but Qiu Yiting was also shocked. Nothing to do with her? "Chen Xue, you..." Chunyu Shen felt very uncomfortable, how could Feng Chenxue in her heart be such an indifferent person!How could she say such heartless words!

"You...you are from the imperial dynasty, how can you say such a thing!" Anger and contempt suddenly appeared in Chunyu Shenxiu's eyes. Feng Chenxue didn't feel ashamed at all, she just said indifferently: "Whether it is Shanyou attacking the Dynasty, or the Dynasty attacks Shanyou, I don't care, those are nothing more than the desires of the superiors or the people on the Jade Throne. The wars they caused have never been far away, and the only people who have suffered are the common people. If I care, I only care about those unarmed people in Shanyou and the dynasty. I only pity them for how much blood they will shed in this war. How many innocent lives will be lost, and how many families will be destroyed."

What she said surprised the three of them again.Is it caused by the desire of the superior or the person above the jade throne?Such words are unheard of for them.And she...how dare to say such outrageous words! "People always like to separate the strong from the weak, the rich from the poor, the high from the low, the big from the small... Then there is oppression, scramble and hatred, and they go round and round again and again." Feng Chenxue Chui Mou, his eyes fell on the tea cup in front of him, the tea in the cup floated up and down on the water, "Thousands of years have passed, and people have never changed. I don't like those, and I can't change everything, but at least I can dominate For myself, I only do what I want to do and what I like. So, now I just want to find a good piano, and I don’t care about the rest.”

The room was silent for a while, Chunyu brother and sister stared blankly at her, not knowing how to react. Qiu Yiting looked at her with a flash of admiration in his eyes.If he was moved by her intelligence and martial arts in the past, then at this moment, he is attracted by this person.Even if what she said was not what he thought, it belonged to her alone, and he was happy for it. After a moment of silence, he asked her: "Do you think the battle between Shanyou and the Dynasty is nothing more than the fact that both sides want to compete for each other's land? So you hate such things?"

"Isn't it?" she asked him back. Qiu Yiting did not refute, but asked again: "Then why do you think people have disputes for thousands of years?" Feng Chenxue was a little surprised that he would ask her like this, and she couldn't help but look at him, the eyes of each other were as clear as a mirror, after a while, she opened her mouth quietly, and said: "Desire, to put it bluntly, is for fame and power, and then they are All other things that are derived are for the sake of getting or getting the most. At first, maybe it was just for a ration, a piece of clothing, and now they are fighting for fame, gold and silver, power, and A high position is fertile soil, rare treasures, and beauties... Sometimes it is even just to fight for a little face, for a breath. The world is getting better and better, and there are more and more desires for competition. Life after life, endless, nothing more than one 'Unsatisfied'."

Qiu Yiting also nodded and smiled at her words, saying: "People's hearts can't be like blank paper, they will have nothing to ask for. Therefore, it is doomed that man is born for desire, maybe for fame and fortune, maybe for love, maybe for power, maybe for country, maybe for For many, many other things... ...for thousands of years. "Speaking of which, he fixed his eyes on Feng Chenxue" But this is the rule of this world, it cannot be changed for thousands of years, and we belong to this world.To live within these rules. "Feng Chenxue raised her eyebrows, waiting for his next words.

"Since that's the case..." Under the bright light, Qiu Yiting stood with his hands behind his back, his voice was deep and powerful like a mountain bell, "Then why don't you be the strongest within this rule!" Feng Chenxue was shocked. "As you said, people always have selfishness, people always have to distinguish between big and small, strong and weak, people always have to distinguish between enemies and me, people always fight for various desires, there are always bullying and being bullied in the world... Then, I choose to be the strongest. It is for the common people. I can protect what I value. It can be fame, wealth, homeland, or relatives and friends. As a king, I can protect the vast land and thousands of subjects. , You can also protect the power, status, wealth and glory under selfishness, and only under the strongest, largest and broadest wings can you protect the most you want to have!" He paused slightly, and then opened his mouth softly, "Finally The most important thing is that the strongest will not be bullied, plundered or humiliated!" Feng Chenxue was silent, looking at Qiu Yiting quietly, and after a long time, she said: "This is the reason why you want to achieve the unification of the world?" "Yes." Qiu Yiting nodded and smiled, with a kind of awe-inspiring calmness, "If you are a gentleman, you will not be safe for a hundred years, but if you are an overlord, you will be honored for a thousand years!" Those words were so loud that the hearts of several people in the room were shocked. But Feng Chenxue stared blankly at Qiu Yiting, looked at his shining eyes, looked at his standing proudly, and suddenly wanted to know who the emperor on the jade throne was, who could make him bow his knees and surrender .But at that moment, she just smiled calmly and said: "If you look at it from another point of view that is not utilitarian, you can say, 'Build a heart for the world, create a life for the people, inherit the knowledge for the sage, and serve the world forever. Kai Taiping'. But that is what you think, you are not like me, and I am not like you, so how can your words and deeds be consistent. You build your eternal achievements, and I have my own mediocre life." "I can't decide what your life will be like, but..." Qiu Yiting also looked at her with a smile, and said calmly but with a pun: "As a descendant of the imperial dynasty, whether it is Jingcheng or Dancheng, their You are duty-bound to survive and die!" Feng Chenxue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she looked at Qiu Yiting with some surprise. She didn't know that he already knew her identity, but this sentence was indeed like a heavy stone thrown on her heart. When she traveled around the world under the name "Fengchenxue", she had indeed given up her identity as Princess Chenhua, and became an ordinary person, living a free life. Affected.Therefore, the offenders in the border town have their own soldiers to guard, and the common people like her only need to take care of themselves. However, Qiu Yiting's words were like a sharp knife cutting through the coat of "Feng Chenxue", revealing the flesh and blood inside. That was a fact she could not deny until she died. She is Chen Hua, the Huang family. His descendants are the descendants of the founding monarch dynasty. Yuguo, this is her royal country, and the people on the jade throne of the imperial capital are her relatives, who are connected with her by blood. To the people, she is a princess, enjoying the glory, but she has never repaid the people for their hard work. To this country, to this people, she has an unshirkable responsibility! Qiu Yiting naturally didn't know what Feng Chenxue was thinking at the moment, but he knew that Huang's blood was flowing on her body, and her silence showed that she couldn't be indifferent, so he smiled again and said: "I will make a relationship with you." How's the deal?" Feng Chenxue recovered from the daze, and raised her eyes to look at him. "Tomorrow I will accompany you to find a good piano, and the day after tomorrow you will go back to Pill City with Shenxiu and the others." He smiled confidently and unrestrainedly. Feng Chenxue's long brows jumped up, "Actually, all you said is that you want me to go to Pill City." "Yes." Qiu Yiting nodded happily. Feng Chenxue frowned slightly, why did he insist on her going to Pill City? Chunyushen thought she was silent, and hurriedly agreed: "Chen Xue, don't you just want to find a piano, tomorrow I will ask Brother Qiu to accompany you to find it, and we will go back with us the day after we find it." "That's right, if you come together, you will return together." Chunyu Shenxiu also nodded. Feng Chenxue glanced over the two of them, then fell back on Qiu Yiting, nodded slightly, "Okay." Hearing her reply, Chunyu brothers and sisters immediately raised their eyebrows happily, and Qiu Yiting also smiled slightly. "Have you finished talking about your business?" Kong Zhao, who had been embroidering flowers in silence, suddenly said, "My roses have been embroidered. Sister, there are four roses in total, two on the left and two on each side, just in pairs." She put the handkerchief in her hand Handed it to Feng Chenxue, then got up and took the food and wine brought back by Chunyu Shenxiu, "You must be hungry, these are just enough to fill your stomach." "That's right, I forgot about it." Chunyu suddenly responded with deep meaning. So the five of them ate the roast goose and beef together, during which Chunyu briefly talked about what happened that night, naturally he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. The words of Qiu Yiting and Feng Chenxue that night were also engraved in the minds of Chunyu brothers and sisters, and what they did in the future is the proof. And Qiu Yiting persuaded Feng Chenxue to return to Pill City, he had his deep meaning, but many years later, Qiu Yiting returned to the old place, before the rose flower stand, he thought of today's decision, and couldn't help but feel sad. On the second day, as soon as a few people got up, they heard the door of the garden knocking, and Chunyu answered the door deeply. Holding a piano in their hands, Chunyu was dumbfounded watching the battle. "You... what are you doing?" Seeing her, the shopkeeper bent down and saluted, "Morning girl, please tell your lady that His Highness Fifth Highness has brought a piano for her." "So many zithers...to give to my lady?" Chunyu pointed at the zithers behind You Yixuan dumbfoundedly, and after a rough look, there were at least ten pieces. "This is the good violin I found all over the country last night, and I specially sent it to Miss Feng for review." You Yixuan said politely, "Please pass it on to the girl." After he left last night, everyone returned the favor. The culprit was not found, so he had to give up for a while, and ordered You Kun to tell the government to issue official documents to search for the culprit, and strictly guard the city gate to prevent the culprit from escaping.After returning to the palace, Feng Chenxue's mind was full of thoughts, so he ordered people to search all the shops selling musical instruments in the whole country overnight, as long as they were good pianos, they bought them all, and found twelve pieces of pianos. I personally delivered it to the inn early in the morning, hoping to have a piece of it that could catch the eyes and ears of a beautiful woman. The sound outside alarmed Chunyu Shenxiu and Qiu Yiting, they both put on their clothes and went out, seeing this scene, they were also very surprised. "What's going on?" Qiu Yiting asked. "The Fifth Highness came down to bring the piano to our 'Second Miss'." Chunyu turned and replied deeply. The eyebrow peak of Qiuyi Pavilion jumped and moved to the garden. You Yixuan saw him approaching, with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary bearing, and mentally guessed that he must be "Master Feng", so he nodded slightly to him. Qiu Yiting also nodded with a faint smile, and glanced at the pianos, feeling puzzled.Chunyu Shen briefly told him what happened last night, but he didn't know what the five princes meant by this move?I don't even know why he came here? You Yixuan saw that the people in the courtyard were only watching in surprise, so he turned his head and motioned to You Kun who was beside him. You Kun understood, and clasped his fists at Chunyu Shenyi and said: "My Fifth Highness sent the piano to Miss Feng Er, and asked the girl to pass it on." The words were addressed to Chunyu Shenyi, but the voice was raised high, obviously asking for " "Second Miss Feng" can also be heard. Chunyu Shenyi turned his eyes to Qiuyi Pavilion, and said calmly: "His Highness the fifth prince's kindness, I thank my younger sister first, but I will not be rewarded for nothing, my younger sister can't accept such a generous gift from His Highness." After finishing speaking, he glanced at it Chunyu thought deeply and asked her to tell You Yixuan. Unexpectedly, You Yixuan didn't wait for Chunyu Shenyi to open his mouth, and said in the standard royal language: "Miss Feng is looking for a qin from a thousand miles away, which is enough to show her chic. It is also said that 'a sword is given to a hero', and the Yaoqin should also be given to a bosom friend. This king's move It's just to find someone who knows the music for these zithers, so that they won't be ruined by mediocrity, and please don't stick to the worldly principles." After hearing these words, Qiu Yiting couldn't help but glance at You Yixuan, and when they met You Yixuan's gaze, both of them were startled, and then each felt an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in their hearts.They all feel that although the person in front of them is extraordinary, it is difficult to become friends with themselves. "Hey, my son said no, why do you still want to force him to accept it? There is no such reason in the world." Chunyu Shenxiu said unhappily after hearing this.He didn't have any respect or fear for the fifth prince of Shanyou country, but only hated the Shanyou people. "Bold!" You Kun immediately shouted at him when he heard such rude words, "how can you be so presumptuous before the Fifth Highness!" "Yo..." Chunyu Shenxiu squinted and snorted, "You want to bully others?" "You!" You Kun pressed his hand on the scabbard at his waist, as if to pull out the knife angrily. "You Kun." You Yixuan raised his hand to stop him. Qiu Yiting over there also glanced back at Chunyu Shenxiu, and Chunyu Shenxiu turned his head away and stopped talking. Suddenly, with a "creak", the door of the wing room opened, and a petite and pretty girl walked out, it was Kong Jun. She turned around and closed the door, then turned to look at the Qiuyi Pavilion, shook her head slightly, walked to the garden, and said to Youyi: "My sister said that since His Highness the Fifth Highness is so kind, I invite Qin to enter the hospital for a first-class." You Yixuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly ordered all the attendants to carry the qin into the garden.And the clever shopkeeper hurriedly brought many pieces of pianos, and within a quarter of an hour, twelve pieces of famous pianos had been placed in the garden in an orderly manner. After placing the piano, You Yixuan glanced at Kong Zhao, then looked at the closed door, thinking that it was time for Miss Feng to come out. Unexpectedly, there was no movement in the room, but Kong Zhao in the garden moved to the first piano, glanced at everyone, and signaled for silence.Everyone in the garden held their breath for a while, and it was very quiet. Then she stretched out her hand and picked the strings with her fingertips, and the piano made a soft sound of "gurgling".She paused for a moment, then walked to the second piano when the sound of the piano stopped, picked up the piano with her fingertips and made a soft "gurgling" sound, then waited for a while, and continued to walk to the third piano...and so on until the twelve Qin tried one by one, but Feng Chenxue in the room did not respond.So she turned around and said to You Yi: "Your Highness Fifth, even my elder sister doesn't like your qin." "This..." You Yixuan, who was originally full of expectations, obviously never expected such a result. Looking at those pianos, the musicians in his mansion have personally tried to play them, and they all said that the sound of the pianos is excellent enough to be handed down as a famous piano, but at this moment... He turned his head to look at the wing room, still unwilling to give up, "These pianos are all rare items, why don't Miss Feng have a look at them in person?" There was a moment of silence in the room before Feng Chenxue's voice was as clear as ice, "It's just a vulgar thing, how can it be called a good piano." Hearing this, You Yixuan's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he felt that he was nothing more than an act of blasphemy, so he sighed and said to Feng Chenxue in the room: "I have disturbed the young lady so much, the king will definitely find a good piano again, and then I will invite you Miss first class." After speaking, he quietly waited for Feng Chenxue's reply, but there was no movement in the room, for a moment, he had no choice but to look at the wing room, and then led the attendants away. After the shopkeeper bowed and sent the palace attendants to leave with their zithers, he turned around and said to the people in the garden with a smile on his face: "Several distinguished guests wait a moment, and the younger one will immediately order someone to bring breakfast." When the shopkeeper also left, Chunyu brothers and sisters sneered at the same time: "Come here so early in the morning, the Fifth Highness is really full and has nothing to do." Qiu Yiting looked thoughtfully at Kong Zhao's back when he returned to the room, and then asked Chunyu deeply: "Why did the Fifth Highness send the piano here?" Chunyu Shenyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought to himself that it's better for Feng Chenxue to deal with it by himself, so he said: "I don't know either, brother Qiu, you can ask Chenxue yourself." Qiu Yiting glanced at her, but didn't ask any further questions, it happened that Xiao Er brought the wash water and breakfast, so they went back to their rooms to freshen up, and then had breakfast together. After breakfast, Qiu Yiting arranged Xiao Wei properly, and asked Chunyu brothers and sisters, Kong Zhao some things, and went out with Feng Chenxue.When going out, Feng Chenxue wore a blue round hat on her head, a half-foot-long green veil hung down from the wide brim of the hat, covering her face hazyly under the veil. Seeing Qiu Yiting's suspicious eyes, Feng Chenxue said lightly: "The sun outside is too big." So Chunyu Shenxiu and Qiu Yiting were relieved, and only Chunyu Shenyi guessed that Feng Chenxue's move was probably because she was afraid that she would run into the unwilling You Yixuan and others outside the store and expose the truth of her different face. Seeing Feng Chenxue and Qiu Yiting come out, the shopkeeper asked them where to go, then enthusiastically pointed out the direction and sent them out the door in person. When the two left the inn and walked half a street away, Feng Chenxue turned her head and asked Qiu Yiting: "You said you wanted to accompany me to find the qin, so do you know where the qin is?" "Last night, I asked Xiao Wei that there is a Chunxi Street in the Kingdom, where there are shops selling antique jade wares and zither musical instruments." Qiu Yiting said, obviously he wanted to take Feng Chenxue there for a walk. Feng Chenxue shook her head when she heard the words, "If it's so easy to find, then His Highness the Fifth Highness already bought them all last night." Qiu Yiting made sense after thinking about it, looked at her, recalled what happened in the morning, and asked: "Then why did His Royal Highness do this?" Feng Chenxue had expected that he would have such a question, so she replied lightly: "I am not him, so I don't know why he acts. There are always some people in the world who have weird tempers and act inexplicably. That's right." "Oh?" Qiu Yiting responded. Feng Chenxue knew that he didn't believe it, but she didn't care whether he believed it or not, when he asked, she just answered. Qiu Yiting knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped asking and asked instead: "Then do you know how to find the qin?" Feng Chenxue glanced around and said: "My friend at that time also said that if you stand on the busiest street and listen quietly, you might be able to find it." "Yep?" Qiu Yiting was also taken aback by such a reminder. "Do you know where the busiest place in the capital is?" Feng Chenxue asked him. "I know that." Qiu Yiting nodded, he asked Xiao Wei yesterday, he identified the direction, and then said: "Follow me." He said and pulled her sleeve.Lead her to the left. The moment the sleeves were pulled up, Feng Chenxue was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Qiu Yiting, seeing that his expression was normal, she just let him go. Passing through the crowd and the street, two quarters of an hour later, the two stood on Anqing Street, the busiest place in the capital. This is a bustling city with mixed fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people.Shopkeepers carry their loads to sell goods, peddlers set up small stalls to shout, steamed steamed buns and noodles are sold in the small shop, there are two or three squatting on the ground with tea bowls holding tea bowls and chatting in the corner, there is stringing and singing in the other side. There are sword-swallowing and fire-breathing jugglers in the room, a group of porcelain pots and green bowls are piled up nearby, and people say they are antiques, and farmers in the distance are driving chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep to sell... There are people everywhere, and there are all kinds of noisy sounds in all directions. As soon as the two arrived here, there was a feeling of being out of place. "If you find a good piano here, it's probably just to prove that the saying 'There are strange people in the wind and dust' is correct." Qiu Yiting avoided a pole that almost hit him in the face and said calmly. . Feng Chenxue was about to answer, but Ting Feng Bianyin noticed a foreign object approaching from the front left quickly, she hurriedly hid behind Qiu Yiting, and then a big rooster fell from the sky with a rattling sound and landed on the place where she was standing. Qiu Yiting raised his sleeves and flicked, a gust of wind swept the pouncing rooster far away. A farmer ran up and grabbed the rooster and went back holding the rooster in his arms. "There are music sounds in the southwest, northeast, and southeast. Listen to where we should go." Qiu Yiting suddenly turned her head and said to her. Feng Chenxue was stunned, unexpectedly he could distinguish the noises from all around without moving, and she listened intently. Qiu Yiting stood still in front of her, waved his sleeves casually, and separated those who passed by without a trace. After a while, Feng Chenxue said: "Go to the southeast" "Okay." Qiu Yiting nodded The two looked towards the southeast at the moment, but there were gambling houses and restaurants in that area, and they could feel a kind of dirty and chaotic just looking at it from a distance. "Over there..." Qiu Yiting took a look and asked Feng Chenxue, "Do you know what the most terrifying beast in the world is?" Feng Chenxue looked up, "Tiger? Lion?" "No." Qiu Yiting lifted up the green veil in front of her, looked into her eyes and said with a smile, "Tigers and lions are the kings of beasts, and their ferocity is not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing in the world Horrible beasts are hungry, ravenous, and treacherous wolves." Feng Chenxue was startled. Qiu Yiting pointed forward, "There are many wolves there." Feng Chenxue moved her eyes forward, watched for a moment, raised her hand to put down the green gauze, and said calmly: "Let's go." Just entering the alley, you will be greeted with smelly, sour, rotten and other peculiar smells. There are some men with obscene appearance leaning against the corners of the street, and when you see a strange man and a woman approaching, they all get up. , with greed in his eyes, like a wolf looking at a delicious and fat piece of meat.Some people approached the two silently and swiftly, and some shouted and stretched out their hands to the two. In the blink of an eye, four or five people surrounded them, but the one who approached was blocked by something within a foot away. The one who stretched out his hand felt a numbness in his fingers before he touched the corners of the two people's clothes, as if a gust of wind was blowing in front of his eyes, when he came again, the two people had gone far away. Some didn't believe in evil, and rushed forward, but they seemed to hit an invisible wall, and fell on their backs to the ground after a sharp pain in their nose and face. On that day, an extremely eye-catching man and a woman, with clean clothes and a calm demeanor, walked through the dirtiest alley like a leisurely stroll. But the wolves hiding in the darkness can only watch from a distance, but cannot get close. In front is a wine shop, small and dark, but there are quite a few drinkers, and it is very pleasant for twos and threes to fight and drink at a table. "Here?" Qiu Yiting glanced at the restaurant. "There is the sound of the piano." Feng Chenxue carried the cloth inside. A shriveled old man came forward, with yellow teeth all over his mouth, and he babbled, but neither of them understood. Qiu Yiting put her hands behind her back, only looking at Feng Chenxue. Feng Chenxue swept his eyes and saw a jug of wine on the cabinet, so he walked over, dipped the wine with his fingertips and wrote the word "Qin" on the table, then looked at the old man. Seeing the writing on the table, the old man looked up at the two of them, and after a while, he raised his hand and led the two of them inside. Turn around the back door of the restaurant, pass through a dimly lit passage, and you will find a messy small courtyard, and then pass through the small courtyard to find a door, open the door and walk out, the eyes suddenly open up, noisy and messy behind the door . In front is a bamboo forest, green and straight, dense with phoenix tails, the scorching sun of April sprinkles from the sky, passes through the bamboo leaves, and casts fine mottled shadows on the bluestone ground.There was a gentle breeze, and the light breath of the bamboo leaves brushed against the tip of the nose, "Gurg! Gurg! Gurg!" The melodious piano sound came slowly and clearly. The old man chattered, then pointed to the bamboo forest, then turned and went back. Feng Chenxue lifted the green gauze, exchanged a glance with Qiu Yiting, and then the two walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest. The bamboo shade is as cool as water, which is a world of difference from the noisy and messy outside. "It's not unusual for you to say that Qin is the voice of a gentleman." Feng Chenxue listened attentively to the sound of "Gong! Gou! Go!", and noticed that the sound of the piano was gradually changing, and the chaos that was still present at the beginning slowly faded away, becoming clearer and clearer, but still deep and thick, like a dragon soaring into the sky, The dragon chant is long and elegant. "Good piano!" She couldn't help but exclaimed. Qiuyiting smiled when he heard the words, and the two continued to move forward. Half a moment into the depths of the bamboo forest, they saw a bamboo house standing in front of them. There was an ancient well on the left side of the bamboo house, and bamboo tables and chairs on the right side. It was very quaint and clean. The sound of Congqin came from the bamboo house. Feng Chenxue moved to the bamboo chair and sat down, Qiu Yiting sat down beside him without a word when he saw it, the two of them didn't say anything for a while, just listening to the monotonous sound of the piano in the bamboo house.The former listened, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and the color of joy shot out of his usual indifferent pupils, while the latter couldn't make any sense, and just accompanied him quietly. Finally, the sound of the piano stopped in the bamboo house, and then there was a long sigh, which seemed to be relaxed and happy, but also seemed to be sad. "Chicken will always leave the nest and soar into the sky, and flower buds will bloom and wither." Feng Chenxue suddenly said softly, "The good qin is already finished, so there is no need to be sad when someone who knows it will caress it." The bamboo door creaked open, and a man with a strange appearance in his early forties came out. The two got up. The man took a look at the two of them, then smiled slightly, and said in a standard royal language: "I have been playing the piano for many years, but I have never understood it as well as the girl. I am laughing at you." Feng Chenxue looked at him and asked: "Mister's piano is ready?" The man smiled: "Didn't the girl already hear it?" Feng Chenxue nodded, and asked directly: "I came here for Mr.'s qin, I wonder if Mr.'s qin can be parted?" "Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Chenxue. After a while, he turned and went back to the room, then came out with a piano in his arms and put it on the table.The qin is in the style of inspiration, the yang is Tongtong and the yin is catalpa, the color of the wood is very new, the texture is like silk thread, and the strings are pure white silk. "The girl also said just now that 'a good qin is touched by someone who knows it', so it depends on whether the girl has a relationship with this qin." Feng Chenxue took a look at him, then moved to the table, took off the green hat on his head and put it aside, sat down on the bamboo chair, stretched out his fingertips to caress the strings, and with a light twitch, the sound of the piano faded away. That's not some qin music, but just the voiceless sound of "gurgling", like phoenix chanting, jingling into flowing water, so simple, but so natural that it fits the environment and mood at the moment, making the listener relax leisurely, as if alone in the wild The sky and the earth, the blue sky and the green fields, the breeze and white clouds, the flying flowers and the warblers, are far away and at ease. The man listened, his eyes fixed on the strings and fingertips first, then moved to Feng Chenxue, then nodded and smiled almost imperceptibly. However, Qiu Yiting's eyes fell on Feng Chenxue from the beginning to the end.He was standing beside her, but a foot away, the sunlight penetrated through the bamboo leaves and fell on her body, so bright, so her eyebrows and eyes were so clear.When she was intoxicated, she tilted her head slightly, and her hair flowed from her right shoulder like a spring of ink, revealing a section of her neck like snow jade, which was in stark contrast to that dry yellow face.Disguise? !His heart skipped a beat, his eyes were bright and sharp, as if he wanted to pierce through that face.But when Feng Chenxue stopped his hands and raised his head, he was already calm. Feng Chenxue got up, walked in front of the man, and took out a jade lotus flower from his sleeve.The flower is only as big as a thumb, with a slender stem, and the whole body is carved from a piece of white jade. There is a ring of blue smoke on the tips of the partial petals, and the flower stem is also faintly green. The jade is crystal clear, obviously it is the best thing , but the flower shape is small, and it will not be very expensive. The man looked at the jade lotus flower, then looked at Feng Chenxue, then smiled happily, and said: "You came here as soon as this qin was made, which shows that you are destined for it. You understand the principles of the qin and know the sound of the qin, and you are the confidant of the qin. It How could I not be willing to enter your hands." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to take the lotus from Feng Chenxue's palm. "Thank you sir." Feng Chenxue said softly, then turned around, glanced at the Qiuyi Pavilion, then swept the qin on the table, and walked away. Seeing this, the number one general of the dynasty just shook his head and smiled with emotion, then obediently picked up the piano on the table, nodded slightly to the man, and followed quickly. Behind him, the man looked at the two people who left in surprise.He has been playing the qin with Lei Qiyin for many years, and whoever comes here to beg the qin is not with a lot of money, who is not respectful and fearful, but this is the first time I have seen such a direct and straightforward woman, and she has not said a word from the beginning to the end , didn’t even communicate with each other’s first and last names, and they really just “come here for Qin”. But...Looking at the figure gradually disappearing in the bamboo forest, Lei Qiyin had a light and joyful smile on his face.He has carved nine qins so far, but the qin completed today will surely be famous for generations to come, which is incomparable to other qins. It's just... I don't know what name it will be passed down from generation to generation? Feng Chenxue and Qiu Yiting left the restaurant and went back to the inn directly, but they didn't want to run into You Yixuan and his party at the door. This time, You Yixuan did not lead a large group of people holding dozens of zithers like in the morning. The light carriage did not disturb anyone. Qin held out, and he took it himself.As soon as he turned around, he saw Qiu Yiting returning with a qin and a woman. Although the woman was wearing a gauze hat to hide her face, he recognized Feng Chenxue at a glance, so he just stood there dumbfounded . Feng Chenxue turned a blind eye to You Yixuan and the others in front of the door, walked leisurely, walked up the steps to the inn, Qiu Yiting just glanced at it, and never stopped . "Miss Feng." Seeing that Feng Chenxue was about to enter through the door, You Yixuan suddenly blurted out to call her. On the steps, Feng Chenxue and Qiu Yiting stopped and looked back. You Yixuan took a few steps up the steps, presented the qin in his hand to Feng Chenxue, and said softly: "The name of this qin is 'Feiquan', Xiao Wang specially brought it from the palace servants, please give me a taste." "Feiquan?" Feng Chenxue couldn't help turning her eyes to the Guqin in You Yixuan's hand.The piano is in the lianzhu style, the wood color is dark and smooth, and there are flowing water-shaped broken lines on the body of the piano, it can be seen at a glance that it is an ancient relic with a long history. "Yes." You Yixuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard her voice, and he explained, "This Qin is the most precious treasure in our Shanyou Kingdom, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years." Feng Chenxue glanced at the Guqin carefully, then nodded lightly, "It should be more than three hundred years old." "Huh?" You Yixuan was taken aback. "'Feiquan' was made by Lei Shengyin, a famous qin teacher in Fengguo. When Fengguo'Princess Yunchi' married Shanyou, Lei Shengyin was a dowry courtier. This piano must have arrived with the princess. Shanyou, it has been a full three hundred and sixty-seven years." Feng Chenxue eloquently explained the origin of the Qin. You Yixuan couldn't help being startled when he heard the words.The twelve zithers he sent people to find last night failed to catch the beautiful woman's ears and eyes, and he was quite upset. Seeing this, a year-old courtier in the mansion suggested to him. There is a guqin hidden in the Taoist Palace. The unique treasure in the whole country is by no means comparable to ordinary pianos.You Yixuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately entered the palace. After he got the Guqin from his father, he went directly to the inn without even returning to the palace. With such a period of history, I never thought that the beautiful woman would understand better than myself, and shame and embarrassment appeared on her face for a while. He stayed there for a moment, then forced himself to smile, and said: "Xiao Wang is ashamed, he doesn't know the origin of this Qin, it's a joke for the young lady. The young lady is so knowledgeable, she knows the piano and knows the piano, and she is a close friend of the piano. Then this piano enters the young lady's hands. It's not until the bright pearl hides its brilliance." As he spoke, he lifted his hands slightly, and brought the qin closer to Feng Chenxue, which was really sincere. Feng Chenxue was indifferent, without the slightest nostalgia. Not only You Yixuan was stunned by this move, even the attendants behind him were also stunned.Their highness is so condescending, not only is this woman not flattered and grateful, but she still refuses so coldly? "Miss!" You Yixuan called urgently, but he couldn't stop anyone. He could only watch the Su Ying calmly pass through the inn lobby, hesitating for a moment whether to chase after him or not, and he hadn't decided yet. Ying has disappeared after entering the door, and he is full of loss. When You Yixuan was lost and dazed, Qiu Yiting's keen eyes swept across him calmly.The fifth prince of Shanyou looked at Feng Chenxue's back with unmistakable admiration and gloom in his eyes.He smiled silently, turned around and entered the inn, and through the back door, he could see Feng Chenxue in front of him, looking at her back from behind, slender, elegant and graceful.Sure enough... He was determined in his heart, and couldn't help smiling.风辰雪再聪明有才，也不至令得山尤的五殿下对她一见钟情。 两人回到园里，淳于兄妹正百般无聊奈的围着肖畏，让他说说趣事解闷，孔玿也坐在一旁，一见两人回来，四人皆是一脸如释重负的模样。 午膳后，在园中憋了大半日子的淳于兄妹实在憋不住了，眼见无事，便一左一右拖着秋意亭他们出去逛去了，言道最后半天了，总得看看这山尤国都，否则不就白来了。风辰雪则在房中摆弄新得的琴，孔玿陪着她，不时过去照应一下独自在秋意亭房中休息的肖畏，如此便一下个下午过去了。到黄昏时，秋意亭三人才归来。 用过晚膳后，便各自整理行装，打算明日一早即启程。 比起风辰雪、孔玿它们诸多的日常用具要收拾，淳于兄妹只几件衣裳，三两下便收拾妥当，而时辰尚早，还不到就寝的时候，于是兄妹俩便又坐不住了，隔那么一会儿便叹气一声，等秋意亭、风辰雪一看他们，两人便口口声声都是闷啊。结果，秋意亭挥挥手，让两人再出去消磨消磨，不过决不能惹是生非。 淳于兄弟一听如闻大赦，顿迫不及待的出门去了。 两人走后不久，秋意亭夜收拾好了行装，一时无事，便取出肖畏交与他的白绢在灯下细细翻看，不时询问肖畏几句。也不知过了多久，忽听得“淙淙”几声琴声，他自白绢中抬首，便间红烛已过半，再看看漏壶，戌时已近，当下收起白绢，对床上趴着的肖畏道:“你先歇息一会。” “嗯。”肖畏点点头，闭目养神。 秋意亭替他放下床帐，然后轻轻启门，便见园中蔷薇架前，风辰雪抚琴而坐。 天上一轮弦月，谈谈洒下薄薄的银辉，园中的水池上破光粼粼，清荷沐着月华亭亭玉立，白色的蔷薇花绽满枝架，夜风里清香暗淡，无比的优雅。 “已收拾好了吗？”他移步至园中，随口问一句。 风辰雪回首，面容平淡，指尖轻轻挑着琴弦，似乎还没思量好要弹什么曲。“孔玿嫌我坐在房中碍着她收拾东西。” “哦。”他微微一笑，又道:“这张琴得来我亦出了一份力，不如你便为我弹奏一曲已作答谢如何？” 风辰雪闻言抬眸看了他一眼，然后不置可否的模样，“可以，要听何曲？” “为我而弹当知弹何曲。”秋意亭站在她身前负手一笑。 听得这话，风辰雪不由得又抬头看了他一眼，然后清眸中微微漾起一丝浅淡的笑意。“此话有理。” 说完她垂首，挑着琴弦的手一顿，静了片刻，再十指挥下，刹时弦动如雨、声若风雷。 秋意亭一震，垂首看着她，然后他闭上眼，静静聆听琴曲，静静感受琴中之意。 初时音低韵沉，仿若是风雨欲来之压抑，片刻猛地一转，琴音铮铮，气势磅礴，便似顷刻间天色大变，阴云密布，狂风大作，转眼间便已陈雨如注，雷声隆隆，风声萧萧，只听得人耳鸣心跳，胆颤魂惊，如置迅雷烈风之中。 也就在这一刻，秋意亭猛然睁眼，目光定定看着风辰雪，眼睛中射出熠熠华光，万顷月光星辉亦不及他一双眼睛明亮。 而琴声依旧铮然，奇纵突兀，苍郁险峻，可那刻，他看着蔷薇花架前抚琴的她，闻着月夜下陈陈花香，只觉得心神前所未有过的宁静，任耳边雷雨呼啸，他心静如水。 许是心境，许是曲终，那激扬的琴声忽然慢慢地渐趋轻缓，叮叮淙淙，忽又变得娴静宁和，仿佛是雨过天晴，便有了日朗风清。 当最后一缕音终了，秋意亭才缓缓吐出一口气，问:“此为何曲？” 仿佛这一曲耗费了许多气力，风辰雪闭眸，片刻后她才太首睁眸，看着他静静答道:“《风引雷》。” “风引雷。”秋意亭轻轻念一声，然后淡然一笑，“此曲气势雄伟确实合乎我意，只是……”他话音一顿，抬首望向天际，弦月淡雅，繁星却如细碎明亮的雨珠落满了整个天幕。“我这一生到最后又能否若你琴曲之尾声？” 风辰雪一震，看着他，默然半响，才轻声道:“你这样的人自能把握住收梢。” 秋意亭心中一动，看着她，许多的思绪纷涌而出，刹那间欲言又止，沉默良久，他最后只是微微一笑，道:“此琴音沉若苍龙低吟，不如就名'沉音'如何？” 风辰雪眉尖一动，然后抬眸淡淡一笑，点头。 园外传来轻而快的脚步声，接着园门推开，淳于兄妹各抱两坛酒归来。 “呦，您们都还没睡呀，正好。”淳于深意把酒坛往秋意亭那边一抛，“秋大哥，明天我们便要分别，我与哥哥特意买了几坛好酒回来，今日我们大醉而眠，他日我们丹城再同醉。” 秋意亭朗然一笑，“好。”伸手接住淳于深秀抛过的酒坛。 “辰雪，这坛给你。”淳于深意要将手中的一坛分给风辰雪。 风辰雪接过，随手放在地上，“我酒量不佳，你们喝罢，我给你们弹琴。” “好！”淳于深秀抚掌赞道，“以琴佐酒，我们也当一会文人雅士。” 于是月夜下，花架前，三人抱坛痛饮，一人悠然抚琴。酒至酣时，叩坛而歌，拔剑而舞。 那一夜，琴声轻扬，歌声清扬，剑光胜雪，花摇香涌，正是酒不醉人人自醉。 万籁俱寞之时，秋意亭携肖畏悄悄飞出客栈。 第二日，几人结账启程。 等到尤翼宣得掌柜的报讯急速赶到至时，已不见人踪，追到城门，却连一点尘烟亦望不到。立于城楼上，怅望良久，他才吩咐身旁的尤昆:“命尤逾领三人悄悄去追，沿途不要惊动其他人。” “是。”尤昆领命去了。 尤翼宣矗立城楼，许久后他才轻轻的语意坚定地吩咐身旁侍臣，“替本王写道奏本，本王要亲自领军出征！”便是此次追不到，那我追到皇朝去，那里总能找到你。 而秋意亭一行离开国都，行了半日后，在一处岔道停住，而肖畏已在此等候。 临别前，秋意亭悄悄跟淳于深秀耳语一句，淳于深秀听后便一脸呆鄂，而秋意亭却只是轻轻一笑，然后目光望向倚坐车窗边的风辰雪，含笑不语。 艳阳高照，万点金光落在他的严重，明朗华灿，仿佛是闪耀着光芒的黑翼石。 那一眼望得有些久，那脸上的笑容浅淡而眷恋，于是一旁怔看着的淳于兄妹猛然间明白了一点什么，看看秋意亭，再看看车上的风辰雪，兄妹俩不由得暗自点头。君为英雄，卿是佳人。 风辰雪感受到秋意亭的目光，移眸往他看去，眼眸相对，亦有一瞬间的怔然，但随即她敛眸垂首，神色淡漠如初。 秋意亭见此，移歩走至车前，微侧身，正挡住了淳于兄妹的视线，轻轻淡淡的又蕴含着三份温柔道:“一路保重，我们丹城再会。”言罢手微抬，风辰雪只觉鬓间一动，抬首时，秋意亭已跃上骏马，马鞭一扬，顿纵马飞去，不曾回头。 风辰雪静坐了半晌后，抬手抚上秋意亭捧住的左鬓，指尖触及一点冰凉的东西，取下一看，却是一支金笔簮，顿时呆住。 笔簮在皇朝有着特殊的意义，缘自开国帝后————朝唏帝皇朝与纯然皇后华纯然。 纯然皇后乃是前朝华国公主，姿容绝世被誉为东朝第一美人，倾慕者不计其数。而她当年便是以一支金笔在诸多求亲的王侯俊杰中亲点皇国世子皇朝为驸马，从而成就一段英雄美人的佳话。 而民间为表达对帝后的敬慕之情，便有匠人打造出了笔形的发簪，一时国中妇女趋之若鹜，天长日久下来，这笔簮又不再单纯的知识饰物，而蕴含有别样的意思。若一名男子赠一支笔簮给一名女子，便是有求偶之意，而如今男、女方家结亲之时，男方赠与女方的彩礼之中必不可少的一样便是以对笔簮，所以闺阁少女必不戴笔簮，戴者必是已订亲，或是成婚的。 而此刻，秋意亭将一支金笔簮留在了她的鬓间…… 拈着笔簮怔然半晌，最后幽幽叹息一声。
