045 The Seven Arts of Knighthood

After the performance full of sensuality**, the beauty of Xitai received a lot of praise.

"One more encore. The husky was so drunk that he threw down his sword and said, "I heard that there is a thing called Sword Dance in Xitai, try it." ”

"Gladly. After the translation, Saeed gave his men a look to suppress their anger, and then he made a respectful and solemn look, and picked up his sword, which was light and light, and held it in his hand without feeling its weight at all.

"Good sword. Said began to perform. Sword dance was originally a kind of murderous martial art, and later someone modified the movements to form a kind of performing art, in Xitai, this is the quintessence of the country, and every man will.

Saide rotated the sword with his wrist, shook it a few times, and even clamped the hilt with only his middle and index fingers, the movements were smooth, and the feet were flexible, like a spring, constantly jumping up and down, and each sword was full of power and beauty.

After playing a set of advanced sword dances, Sai Yide said, "Thank you for the sword from Your Majesty." "Just take the husky's sword away.

"This bastard. The husky scolded secretly, that was one of his favorite swords, he didn't think much about it just now, he threw it away, and now it hurts a little, but he still pretends to be generous, "Give you another hundred pounds of silk, and send twenty more of these women." ”

"Your Majesty, these are the top dancers I have carefully selected, each of them has been trained for more than ten years, which is very rare, let alone twenty, it is very difficult to get two more. After listening to the translation, Saide looked embarrassed.

"Forget it, the silk is still for you. "The husky is very arrogant, the minister in charge of the finance, but he can't drink a glass of wine, and now the price of silk is more expensive than gold!

Qu Chenshi was a little dissatisfied, the husky drank too much and gave a reward indiscriminately, but the treasury was his private treasury, he glared at the husky, and the husky hurriedly found another topic.

"Next... It's your turn, Randall of Grad, what show do you bring to the scene?"

Randall, who was getting up to go to Xiaoxi, was suddenly ordered to perform by a husky.

"Your Majesty, our young master has injuries on his body and has not yet recovered, I will do a little acrobatics, why don't I come and make an ugly offer?" When Dumb was at the Aragonese court, it was popular at the time, and he also learned it for the pleasure of the royal family.

"Your voice is hoarse and sharp, it's also inhuman, you dare to talk too much with such an identity, he has to act!" After the husky finished speaking, he glanced at Qu Chenshi, seeking admiration, this move was taught to him by Qu Chenshi, and Qu Chenshi said that in this way he could suppress the increasingly arrogant arrogance of the French.

"As a nobleman, presumably the seven arts of knights are not a problem, you choose one, the performance is good, I will reward you... Reward your woman, in this court, you can look at it, and the palace maids who are not married will be rewarded to you, if it is not good, you will... Penalty for drinking. The husky said drunkly.

The seven arts of knighthood are swimming, spear throwing, fencing, riding, hunting, poetry, and chess.

In the early days, wandering knights or nobles who did not have fiefdoms, if they could be proficient in one of them, they would linger among the lords who liked the seven arts, and they would go to participate in martial arts competitions in various places, and if they had excellent performance, they would have a chance to get ahead.

"I've got some tips on fencing in place, so I'll give it a try. Randall Road.

It is impossible to swim in this place, and it is impossible for the blind to throw guns, hunt, or ride horses, and as for chess, it refers to the ancient beast chess (the old ancient chess, which has gradually been replaced by the new war chess), and the level of the beast chess Randall is not high, and he can't play blind chess, let alone poetry, only fencing.

Blind to make a sword, this is a technique to train reactions, draw circles on the ground, keep your feet still, shake your body, use a set of swordsmanship, a bit similar to sword dance, Randall is no stranger, he used to practice a lot, but not very well, when he pretended to act.

Quchen came to the husky's ear and said, "The people of Simbak say that Randall does not understand the rhythm, and they can rely on this to make him ugly." ”

"Slow, it's a sword again, I'm tired of watching, let's play the piano." After hearing this, the husky said.

Randall stops his movements and puts on a sleeping bear performance.

"Your Majesty!" The sleeping bear stood up and glared at the husky. The guards in the outfield clenched their swords at this move.

"Even if you are Your Majesty, the Adolf family can't let you call and treat you as a cheap play. "The sleeping bear was deliberately angry and wanted to flip the table, but... Avoid self-indulgence, that's all.

"Your Majesty is drunk, honored guest of Grad, don't be surprised. A middle-aged man, wearing a black gown, with a mustache, a round face, a pair of triangular eyes, brown hair, but not thick, and an empty patch in the middle, also came forward to persuade him.

He is a member of the royal family of Quile - "Sidney Don Quile", in terms of blood is the cousin of the former king Songhai, the uncle of the husky, he has sent people to the Moonlight Palace several times to persuade him, hoping to complete the marriage as soon as possible.

"Sidney, shut up. Husky said.

"Your Majesty, don't drink any more, left and right servants, don't help Your Majesty to rest quickly. After Sidney finished speaking, the nobles of his faction also came in to persuade him.

Musicians, playwrights, and prostitutes, this kind of work for entertainers, which are perceived differently in different countries, are harmless in Baitin, but in Aragon it is a very rude request to force the nobles to play unless they are willing.

"Ahh I am the King of kings!" The husky suddenly yelled and threw all the food that the servants were serving on the side into the field, the dishes flew in all directions, the soup splashed, and several nobles were stained by the food!

Looking off the field, quiet as a graveyard, the husky was satisfied with his acting skills and authority.

Qu Chenshi secretly applauded, this wedding, he was unwilling to agree after he came to power, Princess Blanche has the right to inherit, if she marries in Gaul and has children in the future, maybe she will rely on Adolf and send troops to regain the throne, which will ruin his plan, blame himself for marrying early, if he hadn't married a wife and had children early, and his wife is also a nobleman, he would definitely marry the princess.

Later, he changed his mind and wanted his brother to marry the princess, but many royal relatives and foreign nobles objected.

Of the 700 towns that Aragorn still had at his disposal, his circle of influence and supporters were mainly near the royal capital, controlling more than 200 towns.

The Sidney faction, which is mainly anti-him, is mostly distributed on the periphery, with a total of more than one hundred and fifty towns, and if he does it hard, a civil war will break out, which may give the Lunatics of Ceuta a chance to invade, and he does not want to take this risk, so he can only slowly remove these nails.

There is still one way left, get rid of the princess, but Blanche has been hidden by Sidney in recent years, and he has no chance, so he thought of a strategy last night, if Randall is seriously humiliated, maybe he will regret this marriage, and there are two precedents in the history books of the mainland.

As for the assassination of Randall, Qu Chenshi never thought that he was going to become the next king of Aragon, how could he easily make enemies!

"Remember, no matter what, you must complete the marriage, marry the person back, I will deal with the problems of the north, you take care of the south, maybe in less than twenty years, Adolf will be the king!"

Remembering what Bonney said, Randall said, "Go to the piano." ”

The song he wanted to perform was composed by a famous pianist in order to remember his deceased wife, and he had no serious feelings for this mother, because when he was born, he was suddenly far away from knowing everything, and he was psychologically uncomfortable, and this mother, because of her frailty, almost never took care of him.

When he was a little older, he already knew most of the French, and he was about two years old, and he did not want to be carried by a nanny anymore, and practiced by himself every day, until one day he accidentally broke into the study with the portrait and saw Bonnie in tears.

"You killed her!"

Seeing this, Randall crawled out of the room with his short hands and feet.

A few months later, a year after the funeral, many people came to persuade Bonnie to marry a new noble woman, which changed Randall's mentality.

Even though he was a great nobleman, he was young, and his entertainment was mostly reading, and he read many court stories and biographies, but whenever he had a new wife, the son of his original wife, he would start a ......journey of many disasters and difficulties.

Profit is sometimes a substitute for enthusiasm, to do things that are not of interest, and in order to please Boni, Randall learns from the servant the habits of his deceased mother, imitates her tone, and rehearses the song.

The first time he was able to play a song in its entirety was the second time Bonnie cried, and it was the last time he saw him.

"I'm sorry, my child. ”

Later, when Randall fell seriously ill, Bonnie's kindness to him made the two hearts, each with their own hidden wounds, finally mend and become "family".

......

Randall settled his mind, and couldn't see everyone's expressions, as if no one was there, he flicked his fingers and slowly played this love song.

The fingering is okay, Randall can't see the strings, for fear of playing the wrong one, and after playing it slowly, he gradually gets better, and at the same time sings in Spanish Portuguese, which has a lot of vowels and a strong sense of rhythm, with a strong sense of rhythm, and a beautiful intonation, very musical, like a prayer.

In Roman times, when an emperor and linguist abdicated, he said a passage that vividly expressed the characteristics of this language.

"I sang Spanish Portuguese to communicate with God, flirted with women in Latin, greeted gentlemen in French, and trained horses in Rus' (the official language of the kingdom of Rooney).

"Ah----! I hope that one day, no matter what, we can be together again, and we will be with each other forever...... I miss you as I wonder, will you belong to me? In my dreams, at night, and even during the day, my thoughts about you will never end....... ”

Later in the song, Randall was engrossed and immersed, and when he finished the last syllable, Randall let out a long breath.

The singing is not ideal, the fingering is a little wrong, but the lyrics are excellent, the emotions are integrated, and Randall is not a musician, but an aristocrat, and the audience responds with enthusiastic applause.
