A quiet courtyard in the garden, which looks ordinary, is no different from the courtyard where other dancers and orchids live, and in this early spring and March, the peach blossoms outside the courtyard have bloomed, a scene of white and red, exuding the smell of spring.

Wang Shichong rode a horse alone, and after breaking up with Li Jing, he rode to the vicinity of this small courtyard like this, all the guards and bodyguards were put a hundred steps away by him, and he got off the horse outside the courtyard, silently tied the horse to a peach tree, put his hand behind his back, and slowly walked to this small courtyard, the red paint courtyard door was tightly closed, the sun had not yet set, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled in front of this small courtyard, wrapping Wang Shichong's figure in a golden glow.

Wang Shichong's hand touched the red wooden door, as if he had pressed a certain mechanism, and two black-clothed masked killers suddenly burst out of the soil behind him, four blazing eyes, as sharp as the knives in their hands, and a large net, thrown from the door, instantly wrapped Wang Shichong tightly, I don't know when, there were four more elite black-clothed killers, also masked with black cloth, holding the kind of three-shot infantry crossbow, eight eyes through the crossbow arm on the lookout mountain, stared at Wang Shichong in the fishing net.

The two killers behind him had already put their steel knives on Wang Shichong's neck, and Wang Shichong still had a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "Very good, your appearance Xiàn, I am very satisfied." ”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the six black-clothed men at the same time, and they put away their respective weapons, and the two black-clothed men standing behind Wang Shichong stepped forward to remove the fishing net from Wang Shichong's head. Then they all knelt on one knee: "I've seen the lord." Offense. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "You guys did a good job. It's just to be vigilant at all times, Jin said, it's really a little wronged to let you stay in this soil, it's okay. ”

The man in black, who was obviously more burly, pulled down his face towel and said with a smile: "Lord, it's okay, let's change every six hours." Our vents were buried in the fallen flowers, and it wasn't too hard. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "But the lurking position should be a little deeper, when I stepped here just now, it felt like it was a little different from the strength of other places, if it was a well-trained killer, maybe you would be exposed." ”

Zhang Jincheng's face showed a hint of shame, and he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "It's our fault, please forgive me." ”

Wang Shichong looked around: "Are there only six guards here?" ”

Zhang Jincheng shook his head: "No, there are a total of sixty brothers waiting at any time. There are more than twenty more on the periphery, and once a suspicious person is found approaching. The message will be delivered soon, please rest assured, there are enough people at the front door and backyard, if there are many people, there will be twenty crossbowmen and fourteen swordmen here at the front door. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "It's still the same sentence, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, don't let outsiders see any clues, understand?" ”

After explaining, Wang Shichong pushed the door in, and Zhang Jincheng and the others disappeared without a trace all of a sudden, and there was no movement in the not small courtyard, nor could they feel a little murderous aura.

Wang Shichong walked in a hurry, until he walked to the innermost room in the second courtyard, a burst of sandalwood wafted from afar, and a piano sound was sounding leisurely, low and deep, a hundred turns, like a heartbroken woman, telling the desolation of her fate with the sound of the piano, even Wang Shichong, who was not very well-versed in music, also smelled red circles in his eyes, slightly sour nose, and almost burst into tears.

At the end of the song, a beautiful female voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate said: "General Wang, please come in." ”

Wang Shichong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the curtain and entered, in a burst of sandalwood, Chen Xuan'er (Mrs. Xuanhua) was wearing a white dress, sitting in front of an antique piano, his head lowered, looking at this ancient song, a little flustered.

Wang Shichong walked in front of this guqin, only to see that one side of the qin was a little burnt, as if it had been burned, he smiled slightly: "I have heard for a long time that this Jiaowei qin has an extraordinary origin, and what Xuan'er played should be the famous "Annoyance Song". ”

This Jiaowei qin is one of the four famous pianos in the world, and the Yellow Emperor's "Qingjiao", Chu Zhuanggong's "Winding Liang", Sima Xiangru's "Green Qi" and known in the world.

Legend has it that Cai Yong, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once rescued a section of unburned sycamore wood with an abnormal sound in the fire when he was "dying in the rivers and seas and traveling to Wuhui from afar". According to the length and shape of the wood, he made a lyre, and sure enough, the sound was extraordinary. Because there are still scorch marks left at the end of the piano, it is named "scorched tail". "Jiaowei" is famous all over the world for its pleasant timbre and unique manufacturing method.

After the death of Cai Yong, Jiao Weiqin was preserved in the zài royal inner library, after the fall of the Han Dynasty, this qin belonged to the Jin Dynasty.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Qi Ming of Southern Qi, he once took out the Jiaowei qin and asked the guqin master Wang Zhongxiong to play. Wang Zhongxiong played it for five days in a row, and improvised "Song of Regret" to dedicate to Emperor Ming. Southern Qi returned to Liang, Liang was replaced by Chen, this piano entered the harem of Chen State, Chen Xuan'er in the girlhood, touched this piano, has been remembering, and later Sui destroyed Nan Chen, this piano also entered the Sui Palace, Chen Xuan'er entered the Sui, often stroked this piano sentimental, and it was precisely because Yang Jian heard it when he stroked the piano one day, empathize, and began to favor Chen Xuan'er.

Last time Chen Xuan'er faked his death, this piano was also asked by his family to accompany the funeral, and this song "Annoyance Song" is as its name, full of literati's Huai Cai and women's unladylike, Chen Xuan'er just felt that he poured all the tragic experiences of his life into this piano, which aroused the resonance in Wang Shichong's heart, and both of them did not feel tears, until the piano music was played, they got rid of this sorrow.

Chen Xuan'er lowered her head and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and barely squeezed out a smile: "The concubine lost her temper for a while and disturbed the general, I'm really sorry." ”

Wang Shichong looked at Chen Xuan'er's beautiful face, the few tear stains washed out by tears, and sighed: "Xuan'er, you have suffered, I have been using you in the palace to do things for me all these years, but I really don't know how to make up for you for such a miserable experience." ”

Chen Xuan'er hurriedly said, "General Wang, you are serious. It should be the concubine who thanked General Wang. Thanks to you for taking care of my mother and younger brothers over the years. Our Chen family was saved, and this time it was General Wang who took action and saved Xuan'er's life, Xuan'er is a cow and a horse, and it is difficult to repay the general's kindness. ”

Wang Shichong sighed and looked at Chen Xuan'er's soft and boneless hands: "Xuan'er, I'm afraid that I won't be able to let you stay here anymore in the future." ”

Chen Xuan'er's eyes suddenly widened: "Why, could it be that Yang Guang or Empress Xiao found out that I was faking my death." Got it here? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "This point, they will never be able to find out." I'm so clever that I don't give them any clues. It's just that there is another very important person who needs you by name, and this person is something I can't refuse. ”

Chen Xuan'er bit her lip tightly: "In this world, outside this palace, except for you, General Wang, there is no one I Chen Xuan'er knows." Who the hell would need me like this? ”

Wang Shichong stared at Chen Xuan'er's eyes tightly. Said slowly: "It is your loyal minister of the Chen Kingdom, the former prince who wants to restore the Chen Dynasty, Xu Deyan." ”

Chen Xuan'er silently read this name twice, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "What you said, but the husband of Princess Lechang, the Xu Deyan who retrieved his wife from Yang Su, the Duke of Chu?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "What, even you know the story of this broken mirror reunion?" ”

Chen Xuan'er smiled slightly: "This story is so poignant, even if I was in the deep palace at the time, I also burst into tears, why, this Xu Deyan still doesn't give up, does he want to make trouble?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "This is not the first time he has had an incident, when the Chen Dynasty had just died in the eleventh year of the emperor, he started an incident in the south of the Yangtze River and instigated hundreds of thousands of Chen Dynasty soldiers and civilians to rebel against the Great Sui. In that counterinsurgency, most of the rebel leaders were ambushed, but only Xu Deyan and another rebel general named Liu Yuanjin escaped and have been missing since. ”

"Many years later, I found this Xu Deyan in the bazaar in Daxing, and I even accidentally found out about his reunion, and then I controlled Princess Lechang, and used this as a threat, so that this Xu Deyan let go of the grudge with me back then and promised to cooperate with me."

Chen Xuan'er couldn't take her eyes off when she heard this, and sighed: "This Mr. Xu is really a persistent person, I can't imagine that Da Chen has such a loyal relic." ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "I thought that this Xu Deyan was so obsessed because he lost his power in the Chen Dynasty, but later I found out that he was captured by the Sui Dynasty because his wife was captured by the Sui Dynasty and given to Yang Su, and this hatred of taking his wife is unbearable for him, although Yang Su later showed his demeanor and returned Princess Lechang to him, he no longer hated Yang Su, but he hated the Son of Heaven of the Sui Dynasty, if he said that the most wanted to destroy the Great Sui in this world, it was this Xu Deyan." Oh, by the way, now he has changed his name to Xu Gai, and he lives in Qi County. ”

Chen Xuan'er nodded: "So he needs Chen Guo's clan as a name, and he wants to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops in Nan Chen's hometown in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuan'er is really smart, Chen Shubao is dead, and there is no appealing clan in Nan Chen's clan except for the former prince Chen Shen, and most of the other princes are petty officials such as some county orders under Yang Guang's false seal, and they are also closely monitored, so it is impossible to do anything at all." So now Xuan'er, you are the banner he wants the most, once you are in Xu Gai's hands, he will take you back to Jiangnan, and use the tragic experience of you being molested and humiliated by two generations of Sui Emperors to awaken the anger and sympathy of the old people of Nan Chen, so as to re-establish his own power in Jiangnan. ”

As soon as Chen Xuan'er thought of her tragic experience, her eyes glistened with tears, and her braided jade teeth bit her lip tightly, almost bleeding, and she said hatefully: "Yang Guang, that beast, I, I am inseparable from him!" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "So my purpose and that Xu Gai are the same, both are to overthrow Yang Guang, but the national strength of the Great Sui is too strong, relying on one or two of us to act alone, it is impossible to achieve this goal, I can only achieve this goal by cooperating with people like Xu Gai, waiting for the Sui Dynasty to expedition to foreign countries, when the people in the country are unstable, we people will fight together, and it will be possible to destroy the strong Sui." ”

Chen Xuan'er said faintly: "This is your man's business, we women don't understand, General Wang, the night you were in Jiankang City, you saved me in the deep palace hall, Xuan'er has always remembered you clearly for so many years, and I have long regarded you as my patron saint, and it is precisely for this reason that I have been willing to help you do things all these years, you know, when you rescued me from that terrible palace again this time, I don't know how happy I was in my heart, but, but now you have to be for your ambition, Push me out again mercilessly and give it to someone else? When Chen Xuan'er said this, she was already in tears, and she couldn't cry.

Wang Shichong's heart also moved slightly, for so many years, he had already trained himself to be hard-hearted, and even in the era before he crossed over, as a gang boss, he was also cold and fierce, and he never blinked when he killed, but for some reason, this kind of weak, pitiful woman can always arouse his desire to protect, and the reason why he finally fell into the hands of the police in his previous life and gave away his life was also because he couldn't let go of the woman in his heart and threw himself into the net, the reason why he was so obsessed with An Suiyu in this life, I'm afraid it's more because of that weak and pitiful Turkic girl, and the reason why she decided to help Chen Xuan'er at a glance in that hall back then was precisely because of her pitiful look, I felt very pitiful, like my wife in my previous life.

At this moment, Wang Shichong suddenly had a strong desire: to keep her and protect her.

Chen Xuan'er lowered her head and sobbed, twisted her head to the side, above the cloud temples, the slightly swaying jade hairpin reflected her heartbreak at the moment, her body was faintly accompanied by the faint fragrance of orchids, the taste was very similar to the sandalwood in the furnace, stimulating Wang Shichong's nerves, what a beautiful woman this is, as much as she managed to ask Wang Shichong to restrain her desires and give Chen Xuan'er to Xu Gai, but his hands were like a demon on Chen Xuan'er's shoulders.

Chen Xuan'er's delicate body trembled suddenly, and he threw himself into Wang Shichong's arms, burying his head deeply in Wang Shichong's chest, Yiren's cloud-like hair rubbed against Wang Shichong's nose, itchy, just like this yin male's heart now, as if he was scratched by thousands of cat paws, he couldn't stand it anymore, picked up Chen Xuan'er, and strode towards the red man a few steps away.
