Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xilan
Hearing that Xizhao had another city attacked by Wuyin Island, Xuan Shao immediately set off to return to Shangling City after passing the news of the sunset to Cangxuan Pavilion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As he was about to leave on his horse down the mountain, a figure of a woman who was about to go up the mountain caught his attention.
"That's ...... Xilan? ”
There is some distance between the two, and they couldn't see it really, but when they saw the guqin she was holding, they confirmed at a glance that it was Xilan. I should have said hello to her and thanked her for what happened back then, but after thinking about it, Xilan had already gone up the mountain, and he had already ridden a distance, and he was in a hurry to return home, so he had to give up and formally thank her next time.
"Drive!" Xuan Shao raised his whip violently and rode his horse to Shangling City.
Speaking of this Xilan, she is really a strange woman, when she was a teenager, she moved the world with her fame in the guqin and qin with her brilliant hand, and she was very proficient in medical skills, Xuan Shao was seriously injured in a large-scale battle between Yunlang and Chiqiong in the later period of Yunlang and Chiqiong, and she was treated by Xilan, but the battlefield was chaotic at that time, and Xilan left in a hurry to treat other wounded soldiers after treating Xuan Shao, so Xuan Shao never had time to thank him in person.
Xilan was an orphan, and when she was still an infant, she was found in front of a Taoist temple in Yunlang Kingdom. When the Taoist aunts in the Taoist temple found her, Xilan, who was still a baby, was lying quietly on a guqin with exquisite workmanship. Seeing that this girl was pitiful but didn't know who her parents were, she adopted her in the Taoist temple, and she guessed that this guqin might have been left by Xilan's parents, so she put the guqin away for her, and then handed it to her when she grew up.
When Xilan was six years old, Yan Dong, a famous qinist in Yunlang Country, heard about this guqin and the strange story of Xilan, and immediately set off for the Taoist temple. When Daoist Yiqing showed him the guqin, he was stunned for a long time, and said to himself: "I didn't expect to see this legendary 'crossing' with my own eyes in my life!" It's not worth this life. Where is that child? After seeing Xilan, Yandong was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he asked her cautiously and kindly: "Are you willing to learn guqin from me?" Xilan looked at him, and then looked at the guqin on the side, this was the first time she saw this guqin, but found that this qin seemed to attract herself like magic, so she nodded. When Xilan's fingertips touched the strings, a short unknown but very beautiful melody immediately popped up, which strengthened Yandong's belief in accepting her as an apprentice.
Under Yan Dong's teaching, Xilan gradually found that there seemed to be a subtle resonance with this guqin in his heart. This guqin is the ancient famous instrument "crossing", is the artifact that all people who love the qin and play the qin dream of meeting, but for more than 100 years, this "crossing" only lives in the legend of the qinists, until Yandong heard the story of the guqin and Xilan, as a qin idiot, he originally just wanted to see how this piano is, but he didn't expect to see the "crossing" here! Although this is a piano that the piano masters dream of, he knew when he heard Xilan touch the strings that this piano belonged to her. In only three years, Xilan and her mysterious guqin "Du" has become famous, in Xilan's hands, "Du" can always play a beautiful timbre that makes the four souls move, she seems to take the heart as a string, without a score, without effort, can make the listener's mind with the sound of the piano ups and downs......
On the Xiuyuan Hall of the Xizhao Palace, Jiayang Dutian was discussing with the ministers about the recent attack on the Fog Hidden Island, this morning, two cities and three villages have been attacked, and except for the first village, the others have been strengthened, but they are still easily attacked.
"We can't sit back and wait like this, no matter what the intention of the Fog Hidden Island is, we have to take the initiative, otherwise I Xizhao will let them devour it step by step!" Jiayang Dusk patted the handle of the throne angrily, "I have asked the master of Cangxuan Pavilion Yichen Master to inform me of the location of the Fog Hidden Island perceived by spiritual power, and when Xuan Shao returns, he can bring back the route and method to go there, and tomorrow I will send someone to the sea to explore the Fog Hidden Island." Now, only this person is left to lead the army......"
The people in the palace all had a lot of discussions about the candidates, or whispered to propose the ideal person in their hearts, or speculated about the person chosen by the emperor.
Although Jiayang Twilight is only going to send someone to explore the Fog Hidden Island, this is the first priority, and it is very likely to fight at any time, so it must be an experienced general. However, the Xizhao Dynasty is all civil ministers, and the generals are all guarding outside, and it will take time to dispatch them back, not to mention, the generals who were originally defending the place will have to change, which is really inappropriate, so that the only experienced generals who have been available in Shangling City for the time being are the princes Jiayang Jinglin and Xuan Shao.
"Jing Lin has not returned from going to several cities and villages where the accident occurred, and Xuan Shao's injuries have not yet fully healed, and I have other tasks to hand over to him...... "Jiayang Twilight is in trouble at this time.
"Your Majesty, please go."
At this time, Wei Chixin, who was standing on the left side of the Jiayang Twilight Sky Seat, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Wei Chixin, you ......" Jiayang Dusk looked at Yu Chixin, thinking about his plea.
Yes, because Wei Chixin is the commander of the Praetorian Guard and is responsible for the safety of the palace, especially the king, Jiayang Dutian ignored that there was a ready-made general by his side, and his combat ability was definitely not inferior to any general in Xizhao's country.
"Good! Wei Chixin, I will send you to lead the troops to the sea to explore the bottom of the foggy hidden island! ”
"The minister is ordered, and this will definitely be a mission!"
After Xuan Shao returned to Shangling City, he immediately rushed to the palace and handed over the road map to Wuyin Island given by the Lord of Yichen Pavilion to Jiayang Dusk, as Jiayang Twilight thought, in addition to the correct route to get close to Wuyin Island, it was also necessary to break some spell seals to really find Wuyin Island.
Knowing that Wei Chixin was sent to the sea to explore Wuyin Island, Xuan Shao immediately asked for orders: "Your Majesty, please send a minister to Wuyin Island, believe that he will be responsible for the security of the palace, how can you easily send him to the expedition!" ”
"It's okay, after he leaves the palace, I will strengthen the palace guards, and as for you, I have other arrangements."
Hearing this, Xuan Shao no longer insisted, looked up at Jiayang Twilight, and waited for his next words.
"You have fought against the Red Dome Army many times, and you know more about the strength of their troops and the places where they are stationed, and I have heard that their troops have been attacked many times in recent days, and no soldiers survived, so I want you to go and find out the truth yourself."
"Your Majesty is suspicious, or is this possible that this is deliberately false news released by the Red Dome?"
"None of the troops in the Red Dome are wine bags and rice bags, and it is really strange that such a thing suddenly appeared, so you must be careful when you go this time to see if it is the smoke bomb they released on the surface, or if it is really a thing."
"Command!"
After Xuan Shao withdrew, Jiayang Dusk touched his chin thoughtfully in front of his desk, "If several of Chiqiong's troops are really attacked, then this time it will really not be simple......
