Chapter 8
A shrill whistling sounded suddenly, like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, and then, as if a trumpet sounded, the sound of horses' hooves was chaotic like rain.
The clouds are dense, the wind and thunder are gusting, the crows are frightening, and the cranes are terrible. The soldiers died on the battlefield, and the people wept in their homes. Blood was shed, corpses were everywhere, and mountains and rivers were broken inch by inch.
Finally, the soldiers came to the city.
Black clouds overwhelm the city, the armor light is dazzling, the golden horns are shaking the sky, and the frost is heavy and cold. The walls around the city are like iron, the fighting spirit of the soldiers is like steel, and if the mountains hold back the floods, they are the pillars that stand in the middle stream.
However, the water droplets eventually pierce, and the waves can also move mountains, and the situation is critical, as urgent as a spark.
A ray of sunlight finally broke through the clouds and swooped down on the earth. There was a general who was brave and fearless, like a sharp blade thrust into the enemy's line, like a fire burning into a torrent, so that the enemy's fighting spirit disappeared without a trace, and they were routed like a low tide.
The spring breeze is blowing, the sun is shining, and the land is beautiful again.
The general returned to the dynasty victoriously, and his peerless elegance will always be remembered in the hearts of the world.
After a gorgeous chord, Zheng Huaiying's hand slowly left the string and gracefully rested it back on his lap.
The music is lingering, flying in the wind, and it lasts for a long time.
This music is different from the glamorous sound that the workshop usually performs, sonorous and powerful, vertical and horizontal, and everyone listens to it with enthusiasm.
Lu Sidao heard half of it, Huo Di got up, walked into the pavilion, picked up a medium-sized wolf hair, thick ink, and wrote hard. After the song was played, he also finished writing the last stroke, and then he took a long breath, as if he had vented all the emotions in his chest, and slowly calmed down.
Gu Huan's eyes lit up, and he wondered in his heart, could this be the famous song in the legend.
Gao Su groaned heavily, without saying a word, and seemed to understand who Zheng Huaiying's song was talking about.
Xiao Fang smiled appreciatively on the side: "Changgong, this new song is called "Lanling King's Entry Song", which has now spread all over Yecheng and will soon spread all over the world. ”
Gu Huan was happy: "Sure enough, it's "Lanling King's Entrance Song"? ”
Zheng Huaiying was a little surprised, and said gently: "General Gu has heard of it? ”
"No, I've only heard it from people, but I haven't heard it with my own ears." Gu Huan smiled happily. "Today, I am blessed to hear such a wonderful song, and I am really fortunate to have three lives."
Zheng Huaiying's eyes shone brightly, but his expression was a little shy, and he said humbly: "The prince of Lanling only led five hundred horsemen to enter the siege of the Zhou army, and arrived at the foot of Kim Yong City. I am shallow in the next generation, and I can't express the demeanor of King Lanling, so please forgive me. ”
Gao Su didn't laugh, hugged his fist at him, and said solemnly: "Master Zheng's wonderful hand fairy sound is really like heaven." is such a good song, Xiao Wang is ashamed. ”
Xiao Fang immediately smiled on the side: "You deserve it." Changgong, I have listened to this song with Zixing a few times, but I haven't heard it all, this is the first time I have listened to it from beginning to end, and I am still blessed by you. Such a good song, how can there be no words? Zixing, what did you write with the words of this wonderful song? ”
"Exactly." Lu Sidao walked out of the pavilion and nodded with a smile. "Don't be presumptuous, try to make a song, and I hope you will correct it."
"You are everyone, you don't have to be humble." A scribe at the water's edge shouted. "Read it and listen to it, and listen to it below."
"Yes, yes." Some of the other scribes also shouted, their faces full of anticipation.
Lu Sidao was no longer humble, slowly paced down the grassy slope, and chanted loudly:
"Shuo Fangfeng fire shines on Ganquan, Chang'an will fly out of Qilian.
The son of the rhino canal jade sword, a young man with a white horse and a golden bondage.
Pingming Yanyue Tun right land, twilight fish Li chase the left sage.
The stone tiger in the valley is held by the arrow, and the golden people on the mountain have sacrificed to the sky.
The end of the world is endless, and the thistle gate is three thousand miles.
Seeing the yellow sand of Maling, looking at the clouds of Longcheng at night.
The strange trees in the court have been climbed, and the people recruited from outside the court have not returned.
At the beginning of the snowfall, outside the Tianshan Mountains, the floating clouds went straight up to the five plains.
Guanshan is insurmountable, who can sit on Fang Feiyue?
The flowing water broke people's intestines, and the old ice returned to hurt the horse's bones.
The side garden is different from the flowers, and the winter hail and autumn frost and spring do not stop.
The long wind Xiao Xiao crossed the water, and the wild geese reflected the sky again and again.
From the military march, the military march thousands of miles out of the dragon court,
Shan Yu Weiqiao has been worshiped now, where is the general looking for fame! ”
There are too many allusions to this "From the Army", Gao Su and Gu Huan don't know much, but they heard those literati applaud, and the voices of admiration rose one after another, endlessly. The two glanced at each other, but they were not embarrassed, just smiled slightly.
Gu Huan said in a low voice, "I didn't understand. ”
Gao Su whispered in her ear, "Me too." ”
The two of them laughed even more.
Gu Huan whispered: "We just know how to dance with a sword and make a sword." ”
"Exactly." Gao Su smiled and nodded. "The matter of literature and ink is not what you and I are good at, just understand it a little, and you don't have to force it."
Gu Huan nodded again and again, with a smile on his face.
The two were muttering, and suddenly heard Lu Sidao say: "Changgong, please write a poem and give me advice." ”
Gao Su raised his head, waved his hand, and said gently: "Zixing, you know that I am not good at this, so don't force it, right?" ”
Lu Sidao no longer forced him, turned his gaze to Gu Huan again, and said with a smile: "General Gu, please." ”
Gao Su was afraid that Gu Huan would be embarrassed, and was about to use his words to help push the tide, but Gu Huan stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will be ugly." ”
Gao Su was very surprised, and also got up and followed.
Gu Huan spread out the rice paper, thought for a moment, and then said: "Master Lu is quick to think, I can't come with it, take advantage of the scenery to make love, write a poem, and please don't laugh." ”
"How dare you." Xiao Fang said politely. "General Gu is a young talent, and the poems he writes are good."
Gu Huan picked up his pen and condensed, and wrote down a poem of seven laws: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls hold amber light, but the host can be drunk, I don't know where it is." ”
The author of this poem is really Li Bai, but he has not yet been born at this time, Gu Huan is impatient to ponder these ordinary things, but in his previous life, he is familiar with many famous poems and sentences. She put down her pen, took two steps back and looked at it, smiling with satisfaction.
The poem was easy to understand and catchy, and after Gao Su read it, he happily said, "Good poem." Brother, there are tulips here, let's have a drink. ”
Since the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, there have been few talents in the northern region, and some imperial courts have even detained officials from the southern dynasties who came to envoy in order to retain them. It is the same in the Qi country, the court and the central government emphasize military force and light literature, and there are very few literary talents in the army.
Lu Sidao and Xiao Fang both felt that this poem was plain, so they persuaded her separately, hoping that she would make another poem, preferably able to recite it.
Gu Huan had read poetry and books in his past and present lives, but he was not stunned, and after thinking about it, he wrote a poem about Lu You.
"Jiangzuo occupies the shape of the victory, the most ancient Xuzhou. The mountains are picturesque, and the good places are misty and dangerous buildings. The drum horn is tragic in the wind, the beacon fire is extinguished in the sky, and the past recalls Sun Liu. Thousands of miles of Yao Gejia, ten thousand stoves and pixiu.
The dew stains the grass, the wind falls on the wood, and the year is autumn. Let Jun Hong, talk and laugh to wash away the sorrows of the past and the present. I don't see Xiangyang to visit, and countless tourists are wiped out, and the hatred is hard to collect. The uncle has been alone for thousands of years, and his name is the same as the Han River. ”
This word is so appropriate in the here and now, after she finished writing, she put down the wolf's hair, looked up at Gao Su, and winked mischievously.
Gao Su couldn't help laughing: "It's really a good word." ”
Xiao Fang also said: "Good words." Master Zheng, come and see, maybe you can sing? ”
Zheng Huaiying got up and walked in, looked at the pen and snake, full of paper and smoke, and gradually matched the tune in his heart and hummed. When he finished reading, he nodded excitedly: "Good words, but it can't be paired with "Lanling King's Entry Song", and I will definitely compose a new song for this word." ”
"Okay, please." Gu Huan hugged his fist at him, his heart suddenly moved, and asked. "Master Zheng, can you stay here for a little more time and teach me to play that song "King Lanling's Entrance Song"?"
Zheng Huaiying was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Xiao Fang.
Lu Sidao said softly: "Master Zheng is in Leji, Xiyi took him out this time, and he should take him back, otherwise, it will not be very good for Xiyi, and Master Zheng will be even more inconvenient." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Huaiying's originally bright eyes became dim. He bowed his head slightly, no longer spoken, and the expression on his face returned to calm, but there was a faint trace of helplessness.
Gao Su said lightly on the side: "In this case, brother, don't force it." When he had time, we went to Yecheng to listen to Master Zheng's wonderful songs. ”
Gu Huan refused to give up, this person is the author of "Lanling King's Entrance Song", which is different from others. Besides, this young man has a dignified appearance and elegant temperament, but there are infinite grievances between his eyebrows, when Gu Huan sees it, where can he bear it? She thought for a moment, pulled Gao Su out of the pavilion, and asked in a low voice: "Master Zheng is in Leji, so he can be expelled, right?" ”
"That's okay, the woman in the workshop can still redeem herself, not to mention that he's just a musician?" Gao Su smiled. "What? Do you really want to keep him? ”
Gu Huan nodded affirmatively: "There is no problem with raising a musician in the palace, right?" ”
"Of course it's not a big deal? Slightly richer people all have music classes, and it is a trivial matter for me to want to enter a musician in my house. "Gao Su said cheerfully." Okay, I'll call someone to go to Yecheng Red Sleeves Fang and expel him. ”
"How much does it cost?" Gu Huan hurriedly asked. "I'll come out."
Gao Su smiled. Since he was crowned the king of the county five years ago, there have been countless dignitaries and dignitaries who have come to borrow money or bribe, and he has borrowed money, but he has not accepted bribes, let alone made friends with those people. And there are many people who tend to be inflammatory, and even shameless and obscene, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to them. He had never seen a person with such a pure nature as Gu Huan.
Gu Huan looked at him with a smile and looked at himself, and he was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Hey, how much does it cost?" Isn't it going to be a lot? I also have it now, if it's not enough, you lend it to me first, and I'll write to ask my father to send someone to send it, and then return it to you, okay? ”
Gao Su thought she was very cute, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head, and said with a smile: "You don't need to come out, I'll do it, you don't care." Anyway, he also entered my palace when he got out of the music book, and you won't want him to enter your Gu mansion. ”
"That's right." Gu Huan heard that he was reasonable, and immediately nodded. "Then I'm bothering you."
"You're welcome, this is one of the rare benefits of being a prince." Gao Su learned what she looked like just now, winked at her, then turned back to the pavilion and said to Xiao Fang. "Xiyi, I think so, if Master Zheng is willing, I will remove the music for him and enter my palace as a musician."
Xiao Fang looked at Zheng Huaiying and said with a smile: "Dongyuan, this is really a good thing that you can't ask for, what do you see?" ”
Zheng Huaiying glanced at Gao Su, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to do it today." Gao Su nodded kindly, then looked at the water's edge and smiled. "You guys go on, General Gu and I just came out for a drink and looked at our friends. Don't let us distract you. ”
Lu Sidao immediately went out and brought a pot of wine.
Xiao Fang took the cup and put it in front of them, and deliberately said to Gu Huan: "Authentic tulips, General Gu tastes them." ”
"Thank you." Gu Huan picked up the wine glass, made a bold gesture, and raised his head at Gao Su. "Please."
Gao Su picked up the cup amusefully and said to her, "Please." ”
The two of them drank it all, looked at each other's cups, and laughed at the same time.
