Xiao Yan was puzzled, the two names that also appeared in the dream, why one could be searched on Baidu, but the other couldn't. However, his intuition told him that the two figures were related to the ancient tombs he had discovered earlier. He immediately packed up and hurried towards the institute.

He plunged headlong into the historical documents in the institute and flipped through all the historical documents of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the end, he found a record about Xiao Sheng in the history books of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the historical records were not much different from what was said on Baidu. But after he went through all the history books, including the wild history, he still didn't find the name Liu Yanyu.

"Ah・・・・・・h

"What are you doing here? You've been here since you started work, what are you looking for? Xiao Yan's colleague Zhang Ke walked in and asked.

"Do you know Xiao Sheng?"

"You know, he's my hair small." Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Yan puzzled and asked, "What?" Do you know him too? ”

"I'm talking about history・・・・・・ history ・・・・・・・"

"Oh, you didn't make it clear." Zhang Ke smiled awkwardly and continued, "I saw it when I was in college, but I only remember that he was a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and I don't know anything else." ”

"You know? Then have you heard of Liu Yanyu? ”

Zhang Ke thought about it carefully and shook his head and replied, "No image, you won't be looking for this this day, right?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and at the same time told last night's dream. Zhang Ke laughed after hearing this, "It's just a dream, why should you take it seriously." ”

Zhang Ke's words Xiao Yan disagreed, he had always vaguely felt that these two historical figures were inextricably linked to the ancient tomb and the guqin.

Zhang saw Xiao Yan stupidly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, let's go eat something first." You haven't even eaten lunch since you came in. ”

Xiao Yan raised his hand and looked at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't expect that more than six hours had passed since he came in, and Zhang Ke really felt a little hungry when he said this.

He walked out after Zhang Ke, and stopped just a few steps in the corridor of the research institute. He looked at Zhang Ke in confusion and asked, "Did you hear the sound of the piano?" ”

There were bursts of piano sounds in Xiao Yan's ears, sad and begging. He saw Zhang Ke shaking his head and then pointed to his office and said, "Didn't you hear? That's where the sound of the piano comes from. ”

Zhang Ke still shook his head, "Have you been in it for too long and are hallucinating?" ”

"Didn't you really hear me?"

"Not really." Zhang Ke replied affirmatively.

Xiao Yan didn't listen to Zhang Ke's words, he walked straight towards his office. The moment he pushed the door open and entered, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yan's confused eyes searched the room, the office was empty, the poignant sound of the piano just now had disappeared, and the guqin was also placed on the desk intact.

"That's not right."

Xiao Yan touched one of the strings on the guqin and said, "This string was broken yesterday, why is the string intact now?" ”

"What are you talking about? What's broken? What's in good condition? Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Yan and asked suspiciously.

"I broke this string yesterday." Xiao Yan said excitedly.

"Are you confused by reading books? Isn't that good? ”

"You're just confused? I still have a wound on my finger from yesterday's string cut. Xiao Yan said as he stretched out his finger to Zhang Ke's eyes, the wound was very deep and thin, and he could see it at a glance. Seeing that Zhang Ke still didn't believe it, he continued, "And here, my hand is dripping blood on it after the strings are cut." ”

"None?" Xiao Yan couldn't believe his eyes and said in surprise, he staggered back two steps.

"What's wrong with you? Surprised? Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Yan and asked worriedly.

"Impossible・・・・・・ impossible・・・・・・" Xiao Yan muttered to himself, repeating constantly.

He remembered exactly what had happened last night, and he had made sure he had locked the office door before leaving last night, and the office door was locked when he entered. This means that no one will come in during this time, and there is no possibility that someone will fix the piano.

"Don't think about it so much, let's go out and eat something first." Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Yan's unyielding appearance, and dragged him out of the office by a hard pull.

Xiao Yan was still restless in the café, and he couldn't let go of the guqin. After eating a few slices of bread indiscriminately, he glanced at Zhang Ke and ran back to the research institute alone.

In the corridor, he slowed down, and the poignant sound of the piano just now sounded in his ears again, accompanied by a woman's sad singing, "Liyu Fanglin to the high pavilion, the new makeup and the quality of the city ・・・・・・"

He stopped in front of the door and put his hand on the doorknob for a long time, his heart was both nervous and frightened. He took a deep breath to suppress the emotions in his heart, and slowly pushed the door open.

An ancient woman wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil was sitting upright in front of the piano, playing with a sad expression. Two lines of her tears fell on the strings, as if in a dream last night. Xiao Yan looked at the woman's appearance by himself, which was similar to the appearance of the woman who played the piano solo in her dream last night.

"Liu Yanyu?" Xiao Yan suddenly shouted.

The woman's hand stopped on the strings, she raised her head to look at Xiao Yan, smiled slightly and bowed slightly, "General, the slave family is polite." ”

The woman's knowledge and beautiful face made Xiao Yan intoxicated, and at the same time shocked, he didn't understand why she called herself a general. He asked suspiciously, "Who are you and why do you call me General?" ”

The general laughed at the slave family again. You just called the slave's name and asked me who I am? The woman replied with a shy smile.

Xiao Yanleng asked in disbelief for a few seconds, "Are you really Liu Yanyu?" ”

"If you haven't seen you for a few days, will the general forget the appearance of the slave family?"

Except for seeing her once in last night's dream, I never saw her again in Xiao Yan's reflection. And from the way she dressed, she looked more like an ancient person, and the phoenix crown and xia veil she wore were exactly the same as those found in the coffin before.

Xiao Yan's first reaction: Either he hit a ghost, or the woman crossed over.

Even if Xiao Yan felt fear in his heart, he couldn't overshadow the curiosity in his heart. He looked at the woman and asked, "The general you are talking about is Xiao Sheng?" ”

"You're not a general?"

Xiao Yan shook her head, and when the woman saw this, her hands slapped angrily on the strings, making a screeching sound. She asked sharply, "Who dare you to pretend to be a general?" ”

"I'm ・・・・・ I'm ・・・・・・" Regarding the woman's question, Xiao Yan didn't know how to answer. He turned to the point and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The little woman Liu Yanyu, a courtesan on the shore of Qinhuai Lake." The woman got up and walked in front of Xiao Yan and replied.

At the same time, in the summer, as a messenger to protect flowers, he accompanied Xu Jiashan on a business trip to the Qinhuai River.
