Chapter Twenty-Four: A Laugh in the Sea
Chen Ning, who has always had no sense of existence, has become the focus of attention at this moment, and some powerful people or family children in the palace before suddenly noticed Chen Ning, when Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin first came in, they all thought that Chen Ning was just Ouyang Xin's entourage, and they didn't care too much. And on a table in the center of the hall, a sweet and lovely little girl was pulling a woman in white and said, "Sister, you see, which son we saved that day." This cute little girl saved Chen Ning's life in the Demon Beast Mountain Range that day Qin Zixuan, but as soon as she came in, she buried her head in the sea and ate them, and she didn't find them, the woman in white obviously also saw Chen Ning, nodded to Qin Zixuan, and didn't speak.
Just when everyone looked at Chen Ning with a gloating look in their eyes, they couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts, where did this stupid boy dare to say in public that the sound of the cocoa county lord's piano music is very ordinary, isn't this a slap in the face of the cocoa county lord, and when he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Guan Jie, who was sitting not far from Chen Ning, was suddenly overjoyed, but he was soon covered up by Guan Jie, and turned to shout angrily at Ouyang Xin, "Ouyang Xin, what crime should you be guilty of daring to insult the cocoa county lord in public?" I have to say that Guan Jie is vicious, and he does not directly reprimand the party Chen Ning, but directly targets Ouyang Xin, in his eyes, Chen Ning is a little shrimp, and he can kill him if he finds a chance casually, but if he drags Ouyang Xin into the water and connives, his entourage is disrespectful to the Lord of Cocoa at the birthday banquet of the Lord of Cocoa, it is disrespectful to the Lord of Xia City, and if it causes the Lord of Xia City to anger the Ouyang family, then Ouyang Xin's fate can be imagined.
As soon as Guan Jie's words fell, a group of patrol soldiers appeared at the entrance of the hall, led by a middle-aged man, his eyes flashed with a brilliant light, and he said respectfully to the county lord of Cocoa in the hall, "Your Royal Highness the county lord, do you need to take this person down?" β
"Brother Chen Ning, you are too presumptuous, don't apologize to the Lord of Cocoa County soon. Hearing Guan Jie's words and seeing the patrol soldiers in front of the hall, Ouyang Xin was not a fool, he naturally knew the stakes, his back was in a cold sweat, and he quickly pulled Chen Ning's clothes and said anxiously, and couldn't help but blame Chen Ning for being too reckless.
The moment the piano stopped, Chen Ning knew that it was going to be bad, but at that time he couldn't hold his mouth anymore and had already spoken out. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately stared at him angrily, and Guan Jie directly took the opportunity to fall into the well and take the opportunity to make up for the knife. Especially the patrol soldiers at the gate of the palace, Chen Ning had no doubt that as long as the county lord of Coco gave an order, he would probably be pulled out and chopped into meat sauce, seeing Ouyang Xin's anxious look, Chen Ning warned himself in his heart not to panic, otherwise it would really be over.
Thinking of this, Chen Ning thought for a while, and then got up and looked up at the county lord of Cocoa, but found that the county lord of coco was also looking at him, only to see that the face was as white as jade and frowned slightly, and there was a slight hint of anger in his eyebrows, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting on the other side, also looked at Chen Ning, and said secretly, this guy is really reckless, now see how he ends.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Ning was going to get up and ask for forgiveness from the county lord of Coco, Chen Ning paused, looked at the county lord of Coco, and said with neither humility nor arrogance, "There is absolutely no intention of the county lord to be abrupt, but I just feel that the song that the county lord played and sang just now is not suitable for the county lord." After Chen Ning finished speaking, everyone first showed surprise on their faces, and then they all showed a sneer on their faces, this guy is really not afraid of death, and he dared to say that the song played and sung by the county lord was not suitable for the county lord, and Ouyang Xin was even more shocked when he heard it on the side, and he already regretted bringing Chen Ning over.
"Hahaha... This guy is simply crazy, and even said that the county lord's songs are not suitable for the county lord, which is simply a big rebellion. Seeing that Chen Ning continued to die without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Guan Jie was suddenly overjoyed, but he said to the Lord of Coco County with a righteous expression on his face.
Hearing Chen Ning's words, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the county lord, and he felt that Chen Ning was too presumptuous, so when he wanted to open his mouth to let Chen Ning take him down, Chen Ning continued to speak, "The song that the county lord played and sang just now is about the joys and sorrows between the two lovers, life and death, and the content is quite sad, and today is the county lord's twentieth birthday, and the county lord is in the prime of his youth and beauty, it is really inappropriate to play and sing this song on such a festive and happy day, so I will say that the song that the county lord played and sang just now is not appropriate, and there is no deliberate offense." β
"You are obviously quibbling, you just said that the county lord played and sang the same tune, could it be that you can play and sing the tune? I think you don't know how to pretend to understand, pretending to be deep. Guan Jie didn't give Chen Ning a chance to quibble, and after Chen Ning finished speaking, he immediately said sternly and loudly.
"Are you a mad dog? The county lord didn't speak, and it was your turn to talk here, could it be that you are the master here?" Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and he has said everything he should have said, and he has said what he shouldn't say, so he simply doesn't restrain himself, and humiliates Guan Jie fiercely, as for whether the Lord of Coco County will want the patrol soldiers to take down the righteous law for him, he doesn't bother to care.
"Poof....." Hearing Chen Ning's words humiliating Guan Jie, Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help laughing, but quickly held back, but a pretty face was a little red, and the others also turned their heads away and wanted to laugh, but when they saw Guan Jie's gloomy face, they didn't dare to laugh, no way, who called Guan Jie a good father.
"Do you know how to sing?" Just when Guan Jie heard Chen Ning scolding himself as a mad dog, his eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't help but preemptively take down Chen Ning, the sexy and ruddy lips of the county lord of Coco asked Chen Ning one by one, seeing that the county lord of Coco had spoken, Guan Jie didn't dare to do it no matter how angry he was.
"I understand a little bit. Seeing that the lord of Coco asked himself, Chen Ning nodded and replied, in his previous life, in order to work and study in college, he studied for a while, and he originally planned to graduate and go to the restaurant to be a resident singer, but then it backfired and became a salesman.
"That being the case, if you play and sing a song, if what you say is true, I can spare you for the recklessness of your previous words. Seeing that Chen Ning really didn't seem to be deliberately offending himself, the county lord's face softened slightly, but he still wanted Chen Ning to play and sing a song in public to show that what he said was true, and after speaking, he waved his jade hand to the soldiers at the door, and the patrol soldiers left immediately.
"I don't care, it's just that I don't have the instrument, so it might not be convenient. Chen Ning shrugged his shoulders, his face a little embarrassed.
"What's so difficult about this, if Chen Ning Gongzi doesn't dislike it, he can use me. Just when Chen Ning's words fell, Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting not far from Chen Ning, got up and smiled, and after speaking, she saw that she didn't know how to take out a seven-string guqin, and smiled evilly at Chen Ning, it seemed that she was worried about Chen Ning's previous request for her to move the osmanthus cake, and when she saw Chen Ning saying that she didn't have the piano, she immediately took it out.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's appearance of being afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Chen Ning suddenly smiled bitterly, but still walked over and took the seven-stringed guqin and said, "Thank you, Miss Wan'er, next time I will ask the girl for help." After speaking, he took the ancient string and looked around, only to see that there was a balcony not far away, corresponding to the night sky, suitable for playing and singing, so he walked straight over, and Shangguan Wan'er snorted lightly when she heard Chen Ning's words.
"Do you think this kid can play?" said a young man in the hall to another young man
I think this kid is just stalling for time. The young man replied
"Yes, he might want to jump off and run away when he goes to the balcony. Another son of a second-rate family said, but after he finished speaking, he saw that no one spoke, and when he looked, he saw that everyone else looked at him like fools, and ran away in the city lord's mansion.
Just when everyone was discussing in a whisper that Chen Ning was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, Ouyang Xin, who was sitting on the chair, was sweating in his palms, he hadn't heard Chen Ning say that he could play and sing songs, so he couldn't help but sweat for him, while Qin Zixuan, who was sitting in the center, held his small fists and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself, "Big brother, come on." β
Even Qing Yixuan, who was indifferent to what was happening in front of her before, glanced at Chen Ning again, but he also shook his head slightly, thinking that Chen Ning was too reckless, but his eyes were still looking at Chen Ning.
Just when everyone watched Chen Ning come to the balcony and see what Chen Ning wanted to do, Chen Ning sat cross-legged and placed the seven-stringed guqin on his lap, and suddenly, he burst out laughing. Suddenly, everyone in the hall was stunned, "I'm grass, what's the situation? This guy is crazy?" In an instant, many family sons and brothers talked one after another, all of them looked incredulous, and then many people couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, the expressions of the people in the hall were different, some ridiculed, some ridiculed, and some admired, "Awesome, arrogant here in the City Lord's Mansion", and some worried, such as Ouyang Xin and Qin Zixuan, their palms were sweating at the moment, and they secretly said, what is this guy doing, and he is still laughing? Even the county lord of Coco was frowning at the moment, and her face was full of anger, just when she sighed and was about to order someone to take down Chen Ning.
Chen Ning suddenly laughed, the Xuan Qi in his body ran on his fingers, raised his hand and waved, his fingers drew a homophony on the strings, and the sound of the piano seemed to pierce the night darkness in the sky under the power of Xuan Qi, and spread to all sides, and then the ten fingers of both hands seemed to find a feeling, and skillfully plucked on the strings.
"Knock..... Boom..... Boom.... The moving prelude gradually sounded, and the voices of everyone in the hall who were originally sneering, mocking, shaking their heads, and sighing seemed to be frozen at this moment, and when the coco county lord heard this moving prelude, he had completely let go of the idea of taking Chen Ning down, and looked at Chen Ning with a slight light in his eyes, she was familiar with the qin music and naturally understood it.
Chen Ning suddenly burst into a wild laugh again, but no one was laughing at him at the moment, everyone showed a strange expression, accompanied by the sound of the piano spreading towards the pitch-black sky around them under the urging of the Xuan Qi in the body. Chen Ning immediately sang loudly, "The sea is laughing, the tide on both sides of the strait is surging, and the ups and downs are remembered with the waves." The sky is smiling, the world is in the court, who loses and who wins, God knows, the rivers and mountains laugh, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are swept away by the red world. The breeze smiled, but it was lonely, and there was still a night photo left of pride. Lalala...... Lalalala......"
Chen Ning's hoarse voice is wild, the madness of singing loudly, the pride in singing, the laughter of seeing through the world, facing the cold wind and ridicule of everyone in front of him, laughing at the taste of life, laughing and singing the world, laughing and singing about the sky, and the uninhibited heroism are all in this song.
Such a proud and unrestrained song, but Chen Ning himself gradually integrated into it, even the people in the hall were slightly shocked, everyone no longer had the previous ridicule, chuckle, disdain, some were just surprised and shocked, this mediocre-looking man in front of him, not only was he brave, but also had such a talent on his body, Ouyang Xin was already stunned by shock at the moment, and everyone else was the same, with a shocked and unbelievable face.
However, Chen Ning did not find the strangeness of everyone, at this moment he has completely indulged himself, ten fingers skillfully pressed on the seven strings, pinched, picked, plucked, swept, stroked, collapsed, the sound of the piano was sometimes excited, sometimes intensified, accompanied by his cheer-la-la harmony, as if all the troubles at the moment, all the sad past, all the unsatisfactory, all floated in the air with the song, even the night sky seemed to be infected by his piano sound, blowing a strong wind, blowing down the ribbon that bound Chen Ning's long hair, and a long black hair fluttered with the wind, forming a sharp contrast between black and white Chen Ning, who was dressed in whiteγ
Just when everyone was intoxicated with the song, and Shangguan Wan'er and Qin Zixuan's eyes looked at the black hair dancing and fluctuating, Chen Ning was a little obsessed and intoxicated, suddenly the sound of the piano changed, and Chen Ning sang loudly in the wind again; The sky is smiling, and the world is in the court, and God knows who loses and who wins. The rivers and mountains are laughing, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are sweeping away the red dust and the world. The common people are smiling, no longer lonely, and the pride is still smiling and smiling..... Lalalala....."
Chen Ning sang and sang to his heart's content at the moment, and his ten fingers swayed to his heart's content, as if he was going to vent the troubles of coming to this world for more than a year, and the sadness of his eldest brother's death.
And in the center of the hall, Qin Zixuan was looking at the balcony with a blurred and intoxicated gaze at the balcony that was swaying freely in the dark night wind, and the figure of pride was becoming more and more intoxicated, and the girl's feelings quietly sprouted at this moment, and she was hooked by the singing and proud figure, as if she was entangled in that figure, desperately tied together, unable to untie it, many years later, this figure made her unforgettable.
