Chapter 71: Midori
The man was obviously forcibly knocked away, not only breaking through the door of the box, but also breaking several guqins that were pressed by him. Because of the great movement, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire second floor.
Looking into the box, there is a screen painted with landscapes and birds, and a long table carved from sandalwood. There were two jugs of wine and a guqin on the table. There were five people kneeling around, and the man in the center, about forty years old, with reddish cheeks and a short stature, had a round bun on his head. On each side of it is a young man, kneeling and sitting straight, all wearing straight jackets and scarves, with a very strong Three Kingdoms style.
The middle-aged man's hands were placed on the guqin, and he spoke with a strong accent, and he was not from Chang'an when he heard it. In addition, those sitting at both ends of the long table were wearing round-necked robes with Tang characteristics, and they were looking at the girl who flew out with a faint smile.
After Qian Xiaoyue got up, she patted her clothes and didn't seem to be injured. It's just that the long hair that was scattered instantly attracted countless eyes and discussions.
"What a woman! When did the Four Arts Pavilion of this Yanxiang Building become so unruly? ”
"Hahahaha, this girl is still young, thin, and has no plump beauty, she should just sneak out to play."
"Bah, you hypocrites, shut up this girl. Whoever likes plump bodies, hurry up to the Qinglou. ”
Qian Xiaoyue heard the discussion around her, and immediately became furious, and roared without any scruples. When she screamed, everyone really didn't speak.
"Mita Yu, do you give me this piano?"
"Little girl, I've already said it below. The piano is the instrument of a gentleman and the head of the four arts. It symbolizes the royal road and righteousness, you are a woman, you can play the kite, why be obsessed with the piano? ”
"Huh...... A gentleman's vessel? Do you slaves also talk about the way of a gentleman with bullshit? I only remember that you said that whoever can play the loose notes of these seven strings belongs to him. If you can't bounce it out, you will be given ten times of money, yes or no? Have you ever said that women are not allowed to participate in this contest? ”
Qian Xiaoyue sneered again and again, she was always smug on weekdays, but at this time, she stared directly at the guqin on the long table, which meant that she was bound to win. And her words immediately shocked everyone, including Lu Xin not far away.
"Mita-kun? Japanese slave ...... Japanese? ”
Lu Xin's face changed slightly, and then he looked into the box again, and the three people sitting in front of him really had a different temperament. And this kind of temperament is incompatible with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Xin couldn't help but think of what Bao inquired about Zhao Li said, long before he came to Chang'an, the envoys of many countries had already arrived in Beijing.
"No wonder, those two young men are still wearing the costumes of the Three Kingdoms period. It seems that there is no doubt that they are indeed Japanese. ”
As a modern person, Lu Xin has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has no good impression of the Japanese. This people, for a long time to come, will bring great calamities to this land.
"Huh, Wai Nu? I, Inugami Mita, am an envoy of the Japanese state, and even the Tang Dynasty court will not be so rude. Little girl, I didn't hurt you in the slightest. But if you're dwelling, don't blame the envoy for being ruthless. ”
Mita sneered, and the expression on his face began to become fierce. The finger placed on the string pressed slightly, and an ethereal sound was produced. Lu Xin instantly felt that there was a significant change in the gas flow in the entire second floor, as if a strong wind would come at any time.
"It's not good, this person is an onmyoji!"
Lu Xin's face changed suddenly, and then he saw that Qian Xiaoyue rushed to the box. But when she was five steps away from the long table, she was trapped by an invisible force, and her body couldn't move.
"Let go of me, you stinky old man who doesn't believe in your words, I want to tell my father and ask him to find someone from the yamen to drive you all out of Chang'an!"
"Hahaha, Miss Qian. Don't mess around anymore, Lord Mita is an envoy of Japan, and the court must treat him with courtesy. This piano will definitely not be given to you. ”
Seeing Qian Xiaoyue trapped, the young man sitting on the right side of the long table suddenly burst out laughing, squinting his eyes slightly, and a look of mockery. Seeing this, Mita glanced left and right. The two of them, who were originally sitting in a precarious position, stood up at the same time and walked to Qian Xiaoyue's side. One pried his mouth open, while the other pulled out a pill bottle from his bosom.
"Li Yan, you are laughing at the fart. As the son of Honglu Temple, if you don't help me, it won't matter, and you still speak for these Japanese slaves, which is a shame for your father. You guys, what do you want to do? What's in this bottle? ”
"Hmph, a woman who doesn't stay at home is good at home, doesn't respect the three and four virtues, and messes around all day long, no one can help you this time. Also, What is Honglu Temple? That is the place where the Tang Dynasty received envoys from various countries, who would be as rude as you? ”
The young man named Li Yan closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", and turned his face away angrily. Then, I heard the dog Mita say again: "Don't worry, it's not poison, you can't die." But if you offend the Envoy, you offend the Emperor of Japan. This pill will only make your stomach ache for half a month, and it will be punished slightly. ”
"No, I don't eat. Mita, if you dare to do this to me. My master, senior brother, will definitely not let you go. ”
"Master? Hehehe...... No one can save you today! In vain, don't do it yet. ”
Mita's voice was extremely cold, but the moment he finished speaking, the young man holding the medicine bottle suddenly flew back into the box. With a "boom", the entire screen was smashed to pieces. Immediately afterwards, the other also let out a scream, and his right wrist was pinched and he fell to his knees.
Mita's face changed wildly, he got up with the qin, the mana in his body gushed out, and the long table in front of him shattered violently.
"What people!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm the senior brother in her mouth. As a foreign envoy, Your Excellency relied on some means to show off his might at the foot of the Tang Imperial City, I'm afraid it is not in line with etiquette, right? ”
Lu Xin sneered back, seemingly unhurried, but Mita Yun's mana was obviously far above him. At this time, he was just barely able to hold on. However, Qian Xiaoyue shouted excitedly after seeing him.
"Senior brother, why are you here? Woowoo...... Scared the hell out of me. These Japanese slaves are too deceitful, senior brother, you must help me avenge me. ”
"Shut up!"
Lu Xin didn't have time to deal with the crazy girl behind him at this time, only to see Sandian squinting a pair of eagle-eyed eyes, and was silent for a long time before speaking again.
"This fellow Daoist, are you determined to protect her?"
"As an onmyoji, why should you be serious with an ignorant little girl? There are many people in this place, and if it is spread, it will go out. It's a small thing to ruin your reputation. If it affects the diplomatic relations between Datang and Japan, it will be troublesome, what do you say? By the way, before leaving, as a return gift, there is a sentence that you should not blame. In the letter of state submitted to the imperial court, please do not use Japan as the name of the country, let alone the word emperor. Our Emperor Taizong must not like it. ”
Lu Xin finished speaking slowly, word by word, and then turned around and took Qian Xiaoyue downstairs. In this process, Mita's right fist was always clenched, his expression hesitated, and he obviously suppressed a huge anger. But in the end, it still didn't break out. Five minutes later, Lu Xin took Qian Xiaoyue out of the alley where Yanxiang Building was located. As soon as he turned the corner, Lu Xin stumbled and sat down against the wall. At this time, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
This scene made Qian Xiaoyue's face pale with fright, and she hurriedly squatted down.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
"The mana of that Japanese slave is several times that of mine, and it has already invaded the internal organs just now, and if you don't leave, you will be seriously injured if you don't die!"
"What is mana?"
"Hmph, don't talk about that just yet. How could you provoke the envoys of the Japanese slave kingdom? What about that piano? ”
"Alas, it is a famous qin in the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiang's green qi, Tongzi is fine, and the timbre is wonderful. Legend has it that Sima Xiangru relied on it and played the eternal swan song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". I thought that this qin had long been lost, but I didn't expect it to appear in the hands of the Japanese slaves......"
Qian Xiaoyue also sat on the ground, her expression gloomy, and her tone was even more lost. According to what she said, she originally just went to Yanxianglou to buy a piano casually. After arriving, he met Li Yan and Mita Yun, the sons of Honglu Temple. At first, because of the woman's disguise as a man, Li Yan didn't recognize her. Seeing that someone was buying a piano, Mita took out the green qiqin to show off, saying that whoever can play all seven strings will give this piano to whomever it is. Otherwise, he will lose ten dollars. Originally, it might have been just a joke, but after Qian Xiaoyue got the piano, she really played all the scattered sounds. Then, there was the scene that Lu Xin saw.
Lu Xin doesn't know much about what kind of guqin. But Sima Xiangru was a man he had heard of before he crossed over. This person was born in Shudi, and fell in love with Zhuo Wenjun, one of the four talented women in ancient China. Moreover, Sima Xiangru came from Taoism, and the content of his resignation was full of immortals. After seeing that piano today, Lu Xin was sure that this Sima Xiangru was definitely an onmyoji. And that green Qiqin is very likely to be a magic weapon, or even a magic weapon.
"Okay, the thing is already in someone's hands, and you're going to die of this heart. I can't buy that piano with any amount of money. ”
"Hmph, a group of villains who don't believe in their words, and they keep saying what kind of gentleman, I'm bah! Disgusting, disgusting to death. ”
Qian Xiaoyue scolded at the street, and when she got angry, she seemed to want to fight herself, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Lu Xin didn't bother to care about her, turned his head over, and pretended not to know.
"By the way, senior brother, why did you appear in the Yanxiang Building?"
"Of course I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, I'm going to find a person named Lu Tingfang in Chang'an City, have you heard of it?"
"No, but ...... I know a guy who should have a way. As a thank you for saving this girl, I'll take you with me, hehehe. ”
