Chapter 0047: The King's Night Banquet 3
Halfway through the unitary hour, the night is getting darker.
In the twilight on the east side of the palace, a hat suddenly appeared.
A worn-out hat!
The lower edge of the hat was pressed low, covering the man's face. In the cold wind where the ice and snow melted, this man was dressed in a single outfit, and between his thin waist, there was a handful of ...... Bamboo sword!
That's right, this person is the mysterious swordsman who appeared in Qinglong Town a few days ago, and the broken hat and the bamboo sword are his identity symbols.
This person is naturally the swordsman Wen Lei, who has only heard of his name and does not know Wen Lei, a top master who has not tasted defeat since his debut.
If Tho Liang and Mr. Huang were here, they would be very shocked, how could this broken hat also appear in the enlightened capital, what do you want?
A few days ago, after making a stunning shot in a restaurant in Qinglong Town, the swordsman Wen Lei disappeared without a trace, and the Tho Liang people sent more people failed to find a trace. The intention of this broken hat was unclear, and his plan to prepare for many days could not be lost, so Tho Liangren immediately ordered Mr. Huang to secretly arrange his manpower and firmly block the news of Qinglong Town.
Unexpectedly, this broken hat actually came to the enlightened royal capital.
But it was said that at this time, the swordsman Wen Lei had sneaked into the palace quietly, jumped onto the roof of a palace, and the next moment, with a light tap of his toes, he quickly walked between the roofs.
When there were still two temples left from the Ruixiang Palace, he stopped and hid his figure with the help of the corrugated roof with the help of the high roof. It's hard to imagine a top player like him acting so carefully.
After investigating for a long time, he got up, but saw him jump to another roof, and when he jumped again, he had quietly landed on the roof of the Ruixiang Palace.
At this time, the snow has not completely melted, and the roof occasionally shows a patch of cyan tiles. After identifying the position, he completely ignored his single outfit and lay quietly on the remaining snow.
......
Above the main hall, wine and meat are drunk.
At this time, the meat has reached the third case, and the sound of silk and bamboo has stopped.
Less leaning, the piano sounds.
The sound of the piano came from Du Xuan's right hand, and this direction, that is, the area between Du Xuan and the Qin State Mission, was the location of the musician and the singer.
Unlike other musicians and singers, this luthier alone has a thin veil in front of him, and he can vaguely see that it is a woman.
Du Xuan had a little doubt, above this hall, in front of the king of a country, the woman who stroked the qin could not completely show people.
But it was said that the sound of the piano suddenly started, and the whole audience was silent.
Through the tulle, the woman's figure moves slightly, her slender jade fingers jump happily between the strings, and the sound of the piano is tactful and long, melodious and frustrating, rapid or slow, heavy or light, and extremely changing.
There are countless articles describing the beauty of the sound of the piano in later generations, among which the most expressive one is the "Pipa Xing" written by Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty.
...... The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers. Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. The bottom of the flower is slippery, and it is difficult to go under the drift ice of the secluded spring. The ice fountain is cold and astringent, and the condensation will not be silent for a while. Don't have gloom and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time. The silver bottle burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with swords and guns......
Although this piano is not a pipa, the woman who plays it is not the Beijing girl who is in a foreign country and "the boss marries a businesswoman" described by Bai Juyi, but at present, the sound of this piano is the same, ancient and modern, and it is no different.
Du Xuan heard the sound of the piano and silently recited "Pipa Xing", and his heart was a little trance-like.
Zheng!
At the end of the song, the seats were silent, only the aftermath was around!
"Wine!"
In the middle of the ring, the king laughed heartily, which made people give wine.
"The little woman bows to the king!"
The tulle was lifted, and the woman flashed out and bowed to the king.
This woman has a stunning appearance, a warbler with a hundred tongues, and her voice is like a yellow warbler crying softly, tactful and beautiful.
After thanking the king, she drank the wine lightly, and the woman moved to the back of the tent, still sitting in front of the guqin.
But said Du Xuan, his eyes never left this woman, he looked a little dazed, and always felt that he had seen this woman somewhere.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates want to dance with a sword to celebrate your birthday. ”
At this time, in the mission of the Tho country, a man flashed out of the ranks, stood in the middle of the hall, and bowed down.
As soon as these words came out, Lord Tuhong was nervous, and entering the palace with a sword was already a great disrespect to the king, and the envoy of this small vassal country was so bold, not to mention the sword, but also wanted to dance the sword on the spot.
Immediately, he realized an even more terrible problem, this man was able to evade the layers of the palace guards, and brought the sword into the palace, indicating that the guards in charge of the inspection had mixed in with the enemy.
He kept wondering who Tho Liangren's target was tonight, could it be...... The king's heart trembled.
"Bold messenger, do you know that entering the temple with a sword should be a capital crime?"
With this in mind, Master Tu got up and scolded loudly.
"Aiqing is angry, it's okay!" However, the king didn't care, waved his hand lightly, and stopped Master Tu.
"Your subordinates are derelict in their duties, and the king forgives them!"
Master Tu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Aiqing, please get up, forgive the guilt! ”
The king's face was calm, and he said.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was full of surprise. This king's sword is going too far, right?
But he said that the envoy of the Tho Kingdom thanked the king, stretched out his hand, and a cyan long sword was already in his hand.
Seven-rank swordsman!
As soon as the envoy's breath came out, Master Tu was shocked again, and the seven-rank swordsman was also a first-class master in the small Tho country.
But when he saw the messenger, he swung his sword and got up, and in the next moment, the sword came out, his body moved, and the sword wind rose instantly.
The messenger became faster and faster, and his figure gradually turned into a shadow, on the top of the main hall, flickering left and right, up and down, light and agile, and for a while he couldn't tell which was the sword and which was the person.
"Good sword!"
The house was full of cheers.
Eventually, the messenger slowed down, and the man and the sword became clear.
It is the prelude to the closing of the sword.
At this moment, when the messenger's sword was about to disappear, at the critical moment when everyone thought that the messenger was about to close the momentum, the man and the sword suddenly rose against the trend.
In the next moment, the envoy's aura skyrocketed, and he turned into a shadow again, flying straight towards the king!
Unexpected attacks happen at the most unexpected time!
"Bold!"
Before the audience could exclaim, Master Tu suddenly burst into a shout, and got up from his position, and the next moment, his breath soared, and his body shot towards the messenger like an arrow from the string.
Eight pins!
Lord Lang Zhongling is actually an eight-rank cultivator! The number of eight-rank swordsmen in the enlightened country is ten fingers, and this lord is among them.
Eight products against seven products, is there any suspense?
It's just that it all happened too fast.
Just when the seats were full of people, that is, almost at the same time that Lord Tu shot towards the messenger, another figure suddenly burst up, attacking and killing Lord Tu!
Yes!
The room was full of exclamations.
Poof!
Eight products to seven products, there is no suspense, the figure is the first to come, the sword is with him, and the messenger is killed at a distance of one zhang from the king!
At the same time, a huge crisis struck, coming from behind Lord Tu.
