Chapter 40: Determination

Qi Qi and Xuanniao left the Dragon Dart Company, and from now on, this place may no longer exist.

Two of the three heads died, and the brothers all died and fell apart.

As Qi Qi expected, after two days, the pedestrians on the street did not have any special reaction to the Longteng compound, as always.

During this period, there should also be people who knocked on the door of Longteng, after all, as a dart shop, there will naturally be people who buy darts to visit.

When he came to the stable, bought a horse, prepared a saddle, and remembered that Xuanniao couldn't ride a horse, Qi Qi only bought one horse.

"Do you mind if you have to ride with me along the way?" Qi Qi asked.

Xuanniao smiled and shook his head without thinking, "I don't mind." ”

So, the two rode a tall dark brown horse, Qi Qi drove the horse, and Xuanniao sat behind him, his hands around his abdomen, and hugged him.

Go to the city gates.

The exit from the city went smoothly and was not hindered by any guards.

So, the two of them joined each other.

Horses and rivers and lakes.

There are seven provinces in Datang, Jiangnan Province in the south, and Nanxun City is the capital city of Jiangnan Province and the largest city in the province. What Qi Qi plans to take Xuanniao on this trip is the Zhongchao Province bordering Jiangnan Province.

Located in Middle-earth.

The imperial city of Chang'an is located here.

Jiangnan Province has a radius of two thousand miles, and Nanxun City is located in the extreme east of Jiangnan Province, so if Qi Qi wants to take Xuanniao from Nanxun to Zhongchao Province, he has to almost cross the entire Jiangnan Province.

That's nearly 4,000 miles.

Qi Qi and Xuanniao rode horses, and if they traveled all the rest of the time except for eating, sleeping, and feeding grass to the horses, they could drive more than 400 miles, so they could reach Zhongchao Province in almost ten days.

The reason why I took Xuanniao to Chang'an is because Chang'an is the closest big city to Nanxun, and these large and small cities passed by during the period are not as big as the two.

And the reason why he has to pick the big one is also because of the large flow of people in the big city, and he believes that with the outstanding piano skills of Xuanniao, he can seek better development in Chang'an.

Maybe she can win the title of "the first piano girl in the Tang Dynasty".

At that time, as a friend of Xuanniao, his face will also be stained, and his identity will rise.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Running through the rivers and lakes, trekking through mountains and rivers, the Xuanniao hugged Qi Qi, which was extremely comfortable. Although neither of them made it clear in their hearts, judging from the fact that Qi Qi was so good to her, Qi Qi must have liked her.

They must be in love with each other.

It can last a long time.

Almost most of his life has stayed in Nanxun City, and he has never even seen the large and small cities around Nanxun City, nor have he seen any mountains and rivers outside, so Xuanniao is full of curiosity about everything around him at this moment, and it is even more happy and comfortable to be able to enjoy the mountains and rivers with his beloved.

On horseback, Xuanniao put his hands around Qi Qi's belly, put his head on Qi Qi's broad back, and asked curiously, "Qi Qi, where are you taking me in this trip?"

"Zhongchao Province, the imperial city of Chang'an," Qi Qi said.

Looking at the Qingdai landscape in the distance, Xuanniao's eyes flashed with hope, and Qiushui's eyes became brighter, "Chang'an... That's the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty, it must be beautiful. ”

"Well, with your piano skills, it must not be difficult to make a living in Chang'an, and I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in Chang'an City like you did in Nanxun City!" Qi Qi smiled, holding the reins in his hand, whipping and urging the horses, so that the horse's speed remained at a swift level.

"Really, thank you for believing in me so much," said Xuanniao's eyes, a gleam of delight.

"We are friends, of course I believe you," Qi Qi said with a smile.

The sparkle in Xuanniao's eyes instantly dimmed, and he muttered, "It's just... Friends...?"

"Hmm, what?" because the horses were galloping, and the wind was whistling in his ears, overshadowing the voice of the Xuanniao, so Qi Qi couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked.

"No... It's nothing..."Xuanniao shook her head, no longer clinging to Qi Qi's back, her chest straightened, and she leaned out of her body with her face sideways, letting the whirring wind beat her face vigorously.

In order to be sober.

The two men continued on their journey, and at noon, when they were hungry and their horses were tired, rested by a small river that was lush with a lush greenery. The air here is very good, and the smell of nature is everywhere, the shade is cool and comfortable, the small river outside the shade of the trees is sparkling with direct sunlight, and the spring water flows, with a slightly dazzling yellow light like a sword.

Qi Qi placed the Xuanyao under the shade of the forest, made a simple cloth mat for her with the cloth prepared in advance, and let the Xuanniao sit on it.

Xuanniao waved his hand and shook his head, "No, I'm not so delicate, you can use it for yourself." ”

"The belts are all brought, don't you have a white belt?" Qi Qi asked rhetorically, putting his hands on the shoulders of Xuanniao's two shoulders and pressing her to sit on the cloth mat.

He said, "You rest here, and I'll take the horses to graze, right by the river, and I'll be back later." ”

"Well, there you go," Xuanniao nodded obediently.

Qi Qi led the tall brown horse to the river, tied the horse to a big tree, and saw that the horse could reach the grass and water with his tongue out, so he returned to the shade of the tree.

He took out dry food and water from the package and handed it to Xuanniao, "Eat something, you should be tired after a morning of traveling." ”

Xuan Niao nodded and took it, looked at Qi Qi's face, and said, "You can eat it too." ”

"Hehe, naturally," Qi Qi said with a smile, and he also took out dry food and water and ate it.

There were no words, only the birds and summer insects in the forest were chirping tirelessly, and there was a cool breeze blowing in the forest, which was pleasant and cool.

After resting for about half an hour, Qi Qi said, "Xuanniao, are you okay with your rest? ”

"Hmm," Xuanniao nodded, got up from the cloth mat, and began to clean up around him.

After a while, the two finished cleaning up, and Qi Qi walked to the river to lead the horse.

Looking at his back, the Xuanniao behind him stretched out his hand, his red lips opened slightly, but it was "ahh

Get on your horse and continue on your way. After a few days of stopping and stopping, I came to a city called "Baiqin".

When the two entered the city, Qi Qi said, "You must be tired after traveling in the past few days, so let's rest in this city for two days, anyway, there is nothing urgent." ”

"Well, it's all up to you," the Xuanniao lying on Qi Qi's back replied obediently. After a few days, she also thought about it, and the mustard of Qi Qi's sentence "We are friends" was almost completely diluted in her heart. Thinking that no matter whether Qi Qi likes her or not, it must be true that she likes Qi Qi, since this is the case, there is no reason not to cherish every moment of time with Qi Qi.

Could it be that he really doesn't like her, and she just has to give up?

If that's the case, then the likes she keeps saying and thinking about are too pale and empty.

Even if Qi Qi doesn't like her, it's just a matter of the moment, it doesn't mean the future, it doesn't mean the future, she has every chance to make Qi Qi tempted by her through her own efforts. To put it in detail, isn't this kind of love obtained by one's own efforts sweeter and more precious?

After entering the city, Qi Qi took the Xuanniao down from the horse and changed to walking. Qi Qi led the horse to the front, controlling the speed very slowly, Xuanniao followed behind him, pinching his sleeves with both hands, and followed suit, only with him in his eyes, not missing the surrounding scenery at all.

Qi Qi walked and stopped on this street, walked around and watched the flowers, there were more people during the day, and he occasionally climbed a few pedestrians to chat a few words, and gradually learned about the history of this "Baiqin City".

Baiqin City is so named because of a nearby sect.

The Great Sect - Qin Sect.

There is no shortage of large sects and small sects that are good at making the qin, but no matter which sect, they dare not directly add the qin to the name of the sect, let alone take only one "qin" word, so it can be seen how strong the strength of the qin sect that dares to be named "qin sect" directly.

And it is also because of the existence of the Qin Sect that this city at the foot of the Lingqin Mountain, where the Qin Sect is located, was given the name of "Baiqin".

The Qin Sect will collect children in the Baiqin City every year, and the disciples in the sect will also pass through the Baiqin City when they go down the mountain, and there are often activities to carry out the piano in the city, gradually, the culture in the city has been influenced by the Qin Sect, the streets and alleys are full of piano workshops, and there are countless shops selling and repairing the piano, and the people are almost no good at making the piano.

Therefore, this Baiqin City is also worthy of its name.

And today happens to be the fifth day of the eighth month, the day when the Qin Sect recruits disciples from the outside world, early in the morning, the people in the city are lively, the streets and alleys are full of qin arrays, and there are a bunch of people waiting for the test. Many of these people came from other places.

In short, it is lively to the extreme.

Qi Qi couldn't help but be interested when he looked at this noisy scene, and then he thought that there was a Xuanniao behind him who was good at stroking the qin and had absolutely extraordinary piano skills?

So he turned his head and asked, "Xuanniao, there is an enrollment test opened by the Qin Sect around here, let's go over and take a look?"

Xuanniao thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, listen to you." ”

Qi Qi then led the horse and took the Xuanniao to one of the nearby piano fields.

The so-called piano field is actually a street full of piano stands. In front of each guqin sat a person, both men and women, young and old. The lyres are also different, some are more popular lyre, while others are more niche five-stringed or nine-stringed.

There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the number of strings, it all depends on the skill of the person who strokes the qin.

As long as the skills are perfected and mastered, it is not impossible for a string to play an unstoppable tune.

At this moment, the piano field was surrounded by water, and the surrounding people were boiling, and before it started, the atmosphere was already so noisy that there were faint signs of directly exploding the pot.

Qi Qi and Xuanniao came late, so they could only be on the periphery of the crowd, in order to let Xuanniao see the scene clearly, he helped Xuanniao onto the horse.

And he himself stood close to six feet tall, and he comfortably looked through the heads of the row of people in front of him and watched the scene in the field.

At this moment, there was a woman in white walking around in that scene, her long hair fluttering, elegant and dusty.

A nice voice came out of her mouth, "You are now participating in the first exam, the title is "Neon Clothes and Feather Song", and when I give an order, you will start to stroke the qin, I will listen carefully to the sound of each of you, if I am satisfied, you can pass, follow me to the Lingqin Mountain, and participate in the re-examination in the sect, if you can pass the re-examination, you can be regarded as a disciple of my sect." ”

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the crowd responded.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I declare, now, Fuqin begins!"

The woman in white finished speaking, and everyone began to stroke the piano together.
