The Left Hand of the Demon Chapter 5 The sound is broken

Jin Wu had never eaten such a fragrant meal, and he unconsciously ate it all.

It's been three years, and tomorrow I can finally leave openly.

But Jin Yu looked around at the place where she had lived for three years, but she was suddenly a little reluctant.

I haven't left yet, but I'm already nostalgic.

She carefully packed up all her belongings and the past three years. But in the end, all I had to take away was a few sets of clothes, two weapons, and a hairpin.

Before I knew it, the sky was completely dark, and the night was as cold as water, and I was lonely.

Outside the house, there was a familiar sound of the piano, a song she had listened to for three years, but now it sounded completely different from her usual sound.

Jin Yu suddenly remembered the eyes of Lilu looking at the lyre during the day, he hid it well, but the sound of the piano at this time revealed a little clue, those thoughts that were surging in his eyes and heart.

Reluctance, relief, melancholy, regret.

Jin Yu followed the sound of the piano to Yan Niang's room, and sure enough, she saw Lu Zheng plucking the strings in a low voice. The tune is still the same tune, but the person who plays it has changed, and the cold elegy has become a sonorous war music.

That's what this piece should be.

"Still not resting so late?"

Jin Yu was listening attentively, but the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the dull sound of the rhythm sounded, which was in stark contrast to the sonorous melody of Fang Cai.

"When I heard the sound of the piano, I couldn't help but want to come and see it."

"Do you remember this tune?"

Ritsu was talking while plucking the strings with his hands, bringing out lonely notes.

"I've really heard this tune before?"

Jin Yu stared at the strings in Ritsu's hand, Ritsu didn't raise her eyes to look at her, but she subconsciously felt that he might be far from being as calm as he seemed on the surface.

"Heh, have you forgotten if you've ever heard this tune, but you still remember it?"

"In the past three years, Yan Niang has often played this piece, but it always sounds sad and cold, but I think this piece should not be like this, but I can't remember what it should be like, or where I heard it. Until now, listening to you play it, I realize that this is what this piece is. ”

"You've heard this song more times than you can count, so it's not surprising that you still have some impressions."

"What the hell is this tune..."

"War Spirit", his favorite song. He once said that although Yan is proficient in hundreds of musical instruments, only the "War Spirit" played by this lyre is the most in line with his heart, so this has become Yan's favorite song.

At the beginning, Yan Yang had him for a long time, and he finally agreed to build a lyre for Yan himself. He built something like no other in the world, but he thought that building cast iron would stain his clothes.

And he is always busy with martial arts competitions and banquets, and this promise has been delayed for many years. When he finally had time to make this piano for Yan, everything changed. Now, Yan is gone, but she left this piano, which may be a good thing. ”

Ritsu said lightly, there was no sound around the quiet, even the annoying cicadas seemed to have fallen asleep, only this string of notes echoed lonely in the air, revealing a sad and cold taste.

"He? My Master? The one who forged the heavens and the hearts? He and Yan Niang... ”

"He and Yan? Maybe there has never been any him and Yan, and it has been just Yan's obsession from beginning to end. ”

Ritsu was silent for a long time, and when he looked up, he drank a glass of wine next to him, and then fell silent after saying this.

Jin Yu suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, and in the past three years, Yanniang has always sat alone in the courtyard, playing this "War Spirit" over and over again.

Are you mourning him, or are you mourning the past that is far away, and you can never go back to the beginning.

What Yan Niang was thinking when she played this song, she seemed to understand a little.

What this piano means to Yan Niang, she seems to understand a little.

But now, you're gone, but you've left the piano behind.

How did you feel when you decided to keep it?

Hopeless or finally liberated?

Jin Yu also fell silent, and Lu didn't say anything more. Just plucked the strings by himself, and the broken notes jumped to his fingertips, but they could no longer be connected, leaving only the ground full of sorrow.

It's like Yan playing "War Spirit" alone.

"Where are you going to take me?"

Jin Yu suddenly didn't want to delve into Yanniang's past, no matter what kind of big mistakes she had made.

Enough amends, remorse, despair, enough.

"How much do you know about things out there?"

"It's just that I heard one or two things from the mouths of others, when today is bounded by Weishui, and the Qi State is south of Weishui, and the century-old dynasty is standing. The north of Weishui was originally divided by foreign races, and it was not until a few years ago that it was unified and called the Northern Kingdom. Although the founding of the northern kingdom was short-lived, it rose rapidly in a few years. On the other hand, the State of Qi is not satisfactory, although Emperor Qi Jing is diligent and loves the people and works hard, but he is old, and there are many disagreements between the two sons under his knees. Now the two countries are bounded by Weishui, and their respective armies are stationed on both sides of Weishui, and they have been facing each other for many years. ”

"Then do you know what kind of place this lifeless building you have lived in for three years is?"

“。。。 I'll tell you the truth, even though I've lived here for three years, I really don't know what this place is. It's just that some people in black often come to Yan Niang, and some strange people seem to have bad intentions, but this lifeless building... Seem... It doesn't seem to be a good place either. ”

"Wushenglou was originally an unsightly place, to put it bluntly, it was a place to use people's money to eliminate disasters for people. There is a folk ballad that is very aptly written, Wushenglou, Hades Palace. Feng Wan Jin, the law is now. Black Kill Order, Chase Talisman. Whoever receives the order, prepare a coffin. The woman in black, the soul snatcher. Childe died, the true king of Hades. ”

The deep voice of the law recited this ballad full of blood in this silent night, which really made people shudder, and Jin Yu couldn't help but shiver.

"The Order? The Woman in Black? It must be you and Yanniang. So Childe died? The person mentioned in Yan Niang's letter? The owner of the Birthless Building? ”

Jin Yu frowned, and subconsciously remembered the person mentioned in Yan Niang's letter, the person she had to meet, but the name of death always made her feel a little indescribable.

"Yes, Gongzi died, but he has another name, Yi Qi died."

"Yiqi? Yi Qi... Yiqi! Isn't that the surname of Emperor Qi? ”

Jin Yu silently read the name, and suddenly exclaimed.

"That's right, Yi Qi died, the second prince of Qi Kingdom, now he should be called King Xuan. Twenty years ago, Concubine Zhen died shortly after giving birth to him, and he was extremely talented, and finally grew up, and Emperor Jing has always loved him. ”

“。。。 Since he is already the prince of the dynasty, he may even be in the future... Then why did he create this lifeless building, which was covered with blood on his hands? And I'm afraid these things are absolutely unknown to very many people, you know so clearly, who are you? ”

"My real name is Lu, I was entrusted by Emperor Jing to teach the second prince more than ten years ago, and now I am the Taifu of Qi State, giving the emperor the surname Qi, Qi Lu. As for Wushenglou, it was originally founded by me with the help of the dead, so I naturally know it clearly. ”

"You?!。。。 Why did you create this lifeless building, or why did he create this lifeless building? ”

"In fact, this lifeless building has existed for hundreds of years, but it has been hidden in the shadows, passed down from generation to generation by the secret guards of the Yi Qi clan, and obeyed the dispatch of Emperor Qi. Originally, the Qi family, which could only be passed from the first emperor to the successor on the day of the succession of the second monarch, was handed over by Emperor Jing himself to the hands of the second prince at that time more than ten years ago. As for why it was passed into the hands of the second prince, I have to mention those old things of adulthood.

Emperor Jing has only had two women in his life, the queen Ye, the daughter of Prime Minister Ye Shuoguang, and the biological mother of the eldest prince Yi Qidu. Guifei Zhen, the daughter of General Zhen, and the biological mother of the second prince Yi Qi. The Ye family is weak, the Zhen family is sassy, Emperor Jing cherishes these two concubines very much, although the two daughters are from the Ye family and the Zhen family respectively, they are surprisingly very good.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Zhen died in childbirth, and the second prince was raised by Empress Ye. These two princes grew up together, and the relationship was originally harmonious, and Empress Ye could be regarded as conscientious about his death. But as the days went by, Emperor Jing never had the intention of accepting a concubine anymore, and Ye Shuoguang saw that the queen Ye's exclusive harem actually gave birth to a disobedient heart. Fortunately, Empress Ye refused to help the abuse, so Ye Xiang did not dare to act rashly.

However, the younger generation of the Ye family has produced many talents, and Ye Shuoguang's power is growing stronger and more difficult to control. And the only Zhen family that can fight against it is declining day by day, the old general Zhen is old, the qualifications of the two sons under his knees are mediocre, and he has been suppressed by the Ye family over the years, which is not as good as before.

The eldest prince decided to grow up with the dead, and the relationship was originally harmonious. But in recent years, Emperor Jing's health has become worse and worse, and Ye Shuoguang has become even more arrogant. Empress Ye and King Ning were caught in the middle, and life was not easy. And King Ning. ”

"How is King Ning? Could it be that King Ning also has the intention of turning against him? ”

"King Ning... It is rumored that King Ning is cowardly and incompetent, and he has long been at the mercy of Ye Xiang. ”

“。。。 Narrow heaven to order the world? ”

"I can't say it either, but Ye Shuoguang's ambition is no secret for a long time. So the first thing he had to get rid of was naturally the death of the second prince, who had been extremely talented since he was a child, and even won the favor of Emperor Jing, which gave Ye Shuoguang a reason to get rid of him. When he was five years old, he almost died after falling into the water, and after barely recovering a life, Emperor Jing picked a lot of secret guards in the Qi clan to guard him closely.

Until the Ten Years Emperor Prospect completely handed over the Qi clan to him, he had already encountered dozens of accidents, large and small, and there were probably not many of the secret guards who could survive until now. ”

"So, he used the power of the Qi clan to create today's Wusheng Building?"

"Yes, the Qi clan is the most secret and indestructible force in the Wusheng Building."

"But this still can't explain why he wants to use the Immortal Building to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"

"Whether it is the rivers and lakes, or the court, they are all the imperial land of the Qi Kingdom. As the second prince, it is inevitable that some things are inconvenient to do, but the death of the prince does not have to worry a lot. ”

"But since the Qi clan has always been loyal only to Jijun, why was he able to take over the Qi clan ten years ago?"

"Indeed, although the Qi clan obeyed Emperor Jing's dispatch, there was only one thing that even Emperor Jing could not control. I only heard that the head of the Qi family originally did not agree with Emperor Jing's intentions, but he gave him a promise in exchange for the loyalty of the Qi family. ”

"What kind of promise?"

"I don't know, the existence of the Qi clan was originally the secret of the Yi Qi clan, and the promise between them is even more unlikely to be known to an outsider like me."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine on the table and drank it slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Jin Yan. However, the sixteen-year-old girl has a calmness beyond her age, and when she hears such a secret, she only frowns, a little surprised, a little preoccupied, and a pair of narrow and bright eyes shine in this deep dark night, as if even the gloom that has accumulated in her heart has illuminated a little.

Ritsu thought about it, but smiled to himself, after all, he was still the same person.

She finally came back, just like she had appeared.

That's fate.

He had tried his best to stop it, but he could only watch it happen.

That's fate.

He saw the track of that hand, but there was no room for resistance, so it was better to close his eyes and obey.

That's fate.

"Why are you telling me such a big secret?"

"If you want to get close to Childe's death, you have to know. Otherwise, you may have fed someone else's knife for nothing before you even walked to his side. Moreover, Yan Niang is gone, and I have no one to say to me except you. ”

Ritsu's voice was low and steady, especially clear in this quiet night, as if even the loneliness and sadness that should have been hidden in his heart flowed in this cold night sky with his slightly hoarse voice.

Jin Yu would rather believe that the law at this moment is sincere, and there is no longer any suspicion to hide, but she simply treats her as an old friend who has been reunited after a long absence, and he once watched the child grow up.

His relief is real, and so is his sadness.

Maybe she can really try to believe that he won't hurt her, that he not only has the same purpose as her, but that he is a friend who has been reunited for a long time.

"Maybe I really should believe you, but..."

Jin Yu lowered her head and said with some hesitation.

"Everything in the world has a certainty, and the truth of what you want to know will always come out one day, but the time has not yet come."

Ritsuichi raised his head and drank the wine from the glass, picked up the flask and filled the two glasses in front of him.

"Sit down and have a drink, this wine is made by Yan herself."

“。。。 Well, I never knew that Yan Niang could also make wine. ”

Jin Yu thought about it, sat opposite the law, took a big sip of the wine glass, but the next second she was choked and coughed repeatedly, her face was flushed, and her nose and eyes were wrinkled together.

"It's so spicy..."

"Hahahaha, this wine can't be drunk like you, otherwise I'll get drunk in a few sips, I didn't expect the wine to be so strong when I drank it for the first time, but then I thought about it, I'm afraid this was also her intention."

Seeing that Jin Yu's tears were about to flow out, her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all crowded together, like a wrinkled pig, and she actually laughed.

"Why didn't you say it earlier."

Jin Yu snorted and wiped her tears, but she hadn't forgotten to glance at her big white eyes, revealing the coquettishness of a sixteen-year-old girl.

"It's you who drank too much."

Jin Yu finally stretched her face, but she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip gently. This wine is spicy in the mouth, but after it is spicy, it has a very comfortable sweet taste, and it actually hooks out all the wine worms in her stomach.

"Maybe I used to be a little drunkard, and I was obsessed with the wine made by Yan Niang, and then I got drunk and died in her wine vat."

She came up with such a sentence out of nowhere, and the law had just finished laughing loudly, and this time she laughed slightly.

His smile was real.

Jin Yu looked into his eyes, but such a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

"If that's the case, it's not a bad thing."

Jin Yu suddenly began to believe a little bit that she was really what he watched grow up.

"What kind of person is Childe?"

"Extremely clever and ruthless."

"This... After all, he is the prince, and didn't you say that Emperor Jing likes him very much? ”

"What about the prince, it's just a child who has no mother since he was a child. No matter how dedicated Ye Hou is, it is inevitable that there will be omissions and difficulties, in the end, it is the child who crawled out of the sword light and blood. ”

Ritsu said so lightly, as if it was just a normal thing. Jin Yu suddenly lost the mind to ask, once this most ordinary family affection is placed under the shadow of the Ninety-Five Supreme, it always makes people feel that it has changed its taste.

"I originally wanted to take this harp with me, but now it seems better for you to keep it."

"Heh, you have carried the heavens and the heart on your back, just give me this piano."

"Then I'll go back to my room first, and you can rest early."

Jin Yu drank all the wine in the cup and walked out of the room, and the scattered and lonely sound of the piano sounded behind her.

The voice is broken, and there is no complaint.
