Chapter 29: Undercurrents
The fireworks in the night sky gathered and dispersed, and the faces of Ning Ke in the Jinghu Pavilion were reflected in the uncertain weather.
His countenance was distorted, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart to maintain the humble gentlemanly appearance he had created in people's hearts.
But his nature is retributive, and he can't allow others to poke his backbone at all, let alone a bastard like Bai Thirteen.
"Bai Thirteen, what do you mean by that?" Ning Ke said gloomily.
"It's not interesting, it's just a wake-up call. Eh, why is Brother Ning so excited?" Bai Shisan faced Ning Ke, the two of them were only three steps away, and everyone present clearly felt the killing intent from Ning Ke.
But Bai Thirteen didn't think so, and his expression was indifferent.
Ning Ke's anger was calmed down a bit, if he showed it too obviously at this time, it was not to admit that he was the kind of person that Bai Thirteen said he was.
"Oh, nothing. Brother Bai's knowledge is impressive, but I don't know that this brother of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can be proficient in geometry. I happened to recruit a musician in my house recently, why don't you let him play a song to help the fun?"
With that, Ning Ke waved his hand at his subordinates, and the two of them carried a vertical and human-high guzheng and put it on the two high stools.
A pretty man in a pale green robe walked over, holding a silver-edged embroidered gold lotus fan in his hand.
"A song of liver and intestines is broken, where to find a soulmate at the end of the world, sad, lamentable!"
The green-robed man's voice was resentful and tactful, and a pair of jade fingers, which were whiter and slender than ordinary women, gently plucked the strings, and the tones of one after another continued into a landscape, virtual in the listener's mind.
Bai Shisan knew some music theory before, and he used to be a member of the school singing team, but he played a drum set.
In addition to being a little feminine, the green-robed man has real kung fu in his hands, and the music he plays is also quite good, which is extremely pleasant.
As soon as the song was finished, the green-robed man waved his sleeves and got up, saluted the people present, and went down.
"Where did you say Ning Shao got the musician?
The Dragon Diving Festival was celebrated together, and many people brought out by Washington's Sun Mansion and Ningke were all watching the scene.
Someone whispered in private, mainly because the green-robed man looked too much like the Qingqi in the Qinglou between his gestures.
Qingqi is divided into men and women, and they always have to cater to the peculiar tastes of some people, so male Qingqi appeared.
Ning Ke turned his head and glared at the man with a broken mouth, and the scene suddenly became a lot colder. The joy of the festival no longer occupies people's brains, but is replaced by the silence of the past.
"How is it, Brother Bai, I'm not bad at playing this guest, right?" Ning Ke sat down in front of the desk, picked up the white jade wine jug and poured himself a glass.
Pale green liquor with ant-thin lees floating on top.
Ning Liyun, who was in the corner, had already left Washington, and Ning Ke glanced at the people present, but their expressions were much more relaxed.
Ning Ke smiled contemptuously, daring not to take him seriously, he was the son of Ning Zongyun, the general army along the mountain.
"It's really good, if you close your eyes and listen to it, you feel like you're really in the middle of the mountains and rivers. Bai Thirteen said truthfully.
"In that case, why don't Brother Bai play a song with their faces?" Ning Ke looked at Bai Thirteen, raised his head and sipped all the wine, the wine glass snapped down, and the people present were stunned.
Hua Yingying left Sun Yu's side and stood in front of Ning Ke, but there was only a black wooden table between the two.
"What do you want to do, Ningke? Brother Bai's injuries have not healed yet, and you asked him to compose poems and play the piano. ”
Ning Ke pursed his lips, and the sullen breath in his heart lingered, and he said in a deep voice: "He is not a delicate woman. ”
Bai Shisanyi raised his eyebrows: "Brother Ning is willing to listen, then I will play." However, there is really nothing new in playing the piano, and I wonder if you can provide me with a two-sided leather drum and some bowls and basins. ”
The people around looked at Bai Thirteen strangely, they had never heard that these things could be related to music rhythm, even Hua Yingying looked at Bai Thirteen with a worried face.
"Since he wants it, go and take it. Ningke laughed.
After a while, the people in Washington had all found their things.
The red-lacquered leather drum was originally used by the yamen to beat the drum to clear grievances, and all the ceramic bowls and iron basins were placed in front of Bai Shisan's body in order.
"Brother Bai, don't fool us, I'd rather have seen some of the world, and I've never heard these things play. ”
Bai Shisan shook his head when he heard this, and with the help of Xiaohui, he came to the red patent leather drum, picked up two thick and sturdy red candles casually, and began to knock them.
The drum kit is generally used on more passionate scores, and Bai Shisan simply no longer cares about any elegance, and directly comes to an explosive "Golden Snake Dance".
Bai Thirteen gritted his teeth and slammed down the red candle like a vent, and an extremely emotional and rhythmic tone came out of it. Fortunately, the Washington family has a big business, and the candles used are all good, and one can burn for several days.
In addition, it was winter, and the candle was condensed and hard like an iron rod, so that Bai Thirteen could be beaten unscrupulously.
Sun Wu didn't listen to the song of the mountains and flowing water just now, but his body shook unconsciously when he listened to this drum rock, and he had the feeling of wanting to punch twice to vent in his heart.
Ning Ke's expression gradually became unnatural, and Bai Shisan seemed to be indiscriminately beating and uncivilized, but it could not be denied that it was indeed good.
After the song, the green-robed man before was full of brilliance.
Ning Ketie asked with a blushing face, "Where did this come from?"
"Thirteen is not just a talent, just created by yourself. As for whether to enter the stream or not, it is left to everyone to judge, so I don't have to worry about Lao Ninggongzi. ”
Ning Ke snorted coldly, and wanted to make Bai Thirteen ugly several times, but in the end, he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot. He is no longer in the mood to spend it here, anyway, the mountain city along the mountain will be his own sooner or later, and so will Washington.
When the time comes, just find a reason to kill Bai Thirteen, and it's over.
The end of the Dragon Diving Festival was very sloppy, mainly because of the uninvited guests of the Ning family.
When Ning Ke left, Sun Yu also asked Bai Shisan to stay alone, and talked carefully with him about things including Hua Yingying.
After talking, Sun Yu found that Bai Shisan was indeed clear-minded and a gentleman. But he made it clear that he was only grateful to Hua Yingying and would leave Washington in a few days.
Sun Yu didn't have any fluctuations in her heart, she wasn't very optimistic about Bai Thirteen, and now although her opinion of Bai Thirteen has changed a little, her goal of choosing a son-in-law is still very high.
Bai Shisankong is talented, but he is a lonely man with no foundation. Hua Yingying, as a daughter, will not take over Washington from Hua Xing, and when one of the two immoral and incompetent straw bale boys takes over, Sun Yu and Hua Yingying will definitely be challenged and pressured by Hu Mingyan and Yan Chiyu.
At that time, if there is no man who is powerful, then it will be difficult for the two of them to live. Sun Yu is a woman, and it is okay to say, when Hua Xing gives way, how long can she live in the world when she is over fifty years old?
But Hua Yingying is still young, and she wants to think about her daughter's future.
Iwaike is a good example, although her many styles are unaccustomed to some of the old people in the house, but they are all hindered by her surname Yan.
The small city along the mountain is so inconspicuous in the north that the general army is all people with foreign surnames attached to the rock, which shows how much importance the rock department attaches to this small border town along the mountain.
Iwaikeyu didn't know what he had done back then, so he was ordered to be banished to Yanshan and met Hua Ixing.
Everyone scattered, and Hua Yingying was also taken away by Sun Yu for a lesson.
Xiao Hui walked alone by pushing Bai Thirteen to the lake for a long time, and the lake was so continuous that she could even overlook the city wall in the distance.
The blue moon was reflected on the lake, and Bai Shisan looked at the deep lake, and his heart was inexplicably drumming.
"Xiaohui, let's go. Bai Shisan said hurriedly, he looked at the quiet lake and felt a little uncomfortable, and his heart was depressed and he wanted to vomit.
Looking at Bai Thirteen, who was inexplicably bored, Xiaohui didn't dare to say much, so she pushed him back to the Zhuyan Courtyard.
On the way, Bai Shisan felt that the wind was a little strong, and unconsciously remembered the lake surface that had no waves at all, and was suspicious in his heart.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaohui, does Miss Hua often save people and go home?"
Xiaohui and Lian'er have a good relationship, and they were introduced to Hua Yingying's side to serve, and she did see that her young lady saved many people back.
So he replied: "Yes, the young lady is good, there are not a hundred people who have been saved, but dozens of people." ”
"Where did all the people who were saved?" Bai Thirteen was silent for a while, and then said suddenly.
Somehow, the wind around them suddenly became stronger, and the sky was filled with muffled thunder.
It turned out to be a thunderbolt that struck the net lake impartially, and suddenly the lake water boiled, stirring up more than a few feet of splash.
Bai Shisan and Xiaohui in the distance were startled, and after a while, the lights were lit up in the Washington house. Hua Sheng took the brunt of the lantern and rushed to the lake, followed by a chaotic footsteps.
Some of the family members didn't have their pants on, so they were rushed to Jinghu by the steward of Washington to investigate the situation.
"Ahh
Bai 13 glared at the man who was wearing red underwear and the "giant elephant" was bumpy in front of him, and the man immediately pulled out his pants.
"Alright, everyone is gone. Bai Shisan looked back helplessly at Xiaohui, who was still covering his eyes, and sighed softly.
This couldn't help but make him think, men and women are really different, if there is a group of women coming in front of him, Bai Shisan thinks that not only will he not cover his eyes, but he will also keep his eyes off.
Xiaohui's porcelain-like cheeks were red and hot, and she muttered a dialect that she didn't know where it was, and she was puffing up all the way to push Bai Thirteen.
Seeing Xiaohui's appearance, Bai Shisan was not good at asking some questions, so he could only go to the lake by himself tomorrow morning to have a look.
If there is really some evil entrenched in the mansion, according to Bai Thirteen's current appearance, he will also send people away, so it is better to take a look at the feedback of Huasheng tomorrow.
Speaking of Huasheng's hard work, even Bai Thirteen in his heyday had to retreat.
If Bai Thirteen is the weakest ninth grade, then Hua Sheng is at least the one who has stepped into the eighth grade.
Outside Washington, in an inconspicuous alley, Ning Liyun was respectfully talking to a man in black.
"Go back and tell Lord Hetong that it has been confirmed that a spiritual artifact will appear in the mountain city along the mountain, so you must prepare early. The man in black who spoke was a woman, but her figure was not very good, her body was a little plump and old, but her posture was very tall.
The whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, which makes people have to pay attention to her.
Ning Liyun nodded, and only after the woman in black had left did he straighten up and take a deep look into the night.
