At this moment, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and the noise outside the carriage became much louder. It seemed that Luozhou Mansion had arrived. Haotian opened the curtains of the carriage and tilted his head to look outside. Luozhou Mansion
Luozhou is the capital of Yuzhou Road. Before the war, the prosperity of Yanzhou was no less than that of Hetao. The permanent population of Luozhou City was also about 500,000. But when he saw it today, Haotian was greatly disappointed. The pedestrians on the street were not
There are many, and most of them look in a hurry. It is obvious that the impact of the war on this city is huge. After entering the city, the shops on both sides of the street are also very depressed, and there are only a few people sitting sparsely in the restaurant. Haotian's eyebrows
He frowned, gave a few loud instructions to the driver in front of him, and then retracted his head into the car.
After running for a while, the carriage finally stopped, and the driver quickly ran over to help Haotian open the door. Hao Tianxia jumped out of the car, and then led Xin Jiao and others out one by one.
Xian Lianchen jumped out of the car, first shook his head and moved his body, and then asked the driver Zhang Ke: "Zhang Ke, is this the best inn in Luozhou that you helped us find? You
Look at the appearance of this inn, it is the best inn, you are not deliberately teasing us. Didn’t you say that the best inn in Luozhou is Yingbin and Xingxing? "
Zhang Ke nodded quickly and bowed and said: "Madam, you have misunderstood. How dare I tease you? This Dayou Inn is indeed the best inn still open in Luozhou City. If it were normal times, you wouldn't have
I haven’t found a place to stay yet. Yingying Inn and Xingxing Inn are indeed the best in Luozhou, but they closed three months ago. I often come here. If you don’t believe me, madam, I will immediately
I’ll take you to have a look.”
"Forget it, since you're here, let's be careful." Xian Lianchen said helplessly. Zhang Ke was telling the truth. Due to the war, almost all the big families in Luozhou City have fled to Tiandu Shengjing or Tiandu Shengjing.
Further west is the Qinchuan Road and Yizhou Road area. It's good to be able to find such a pretty good inn here.
Since there were many vacancies in the inn, Haotian was not short of money. Thinking that the women were all pampered young ladies, Haotian simply booked a small courtyard and asked Zhang Ke and the waiter to help pack the luggage of the five of them.
Moved in.
Although the yard is not big, it is quite exquisite inside and is neatly kept. But what makes Haotian most satisfied is the clump of banana trees in the yard. He did not expect to see banana trees in this place, and Haotian suddenly
I was so happy that I didn't even hear Xue Qingcheng calling me from behind.
Seeing that Haotian ignored him, Xue Qingcheng simply walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
"Oh, what's the matter?" Haotian came back to his senses and asked doubtfully.
"We have just decided that, husband, you are the head of the family, so you will sleep in the main room, Lianchen and I will be in the east wing, and Xin Jiao and Qiu Mu will be in the west wing. What do you think?"
Haotian waved his hand nonchalantly: "Whatever, you decide these little things."
"What is this that you are so fascinated by?" Xue Qingcheng asked, looking at the banana tree in front of her in confusion.
"Oh, this is called a banana tree. It mainly grows south of the Dajiang River, and also grows in the central and southern areas of Yizhou Road. However, it is limited by its light and heat conditions, so there are not many in the Dajiang River Basin. When I was still in Qingyun
, my father planted just this bunch of banana trees. My dad cared a lot about this bunch of banana trees. Every winter, he would smoke straw around them to prevent them from freezing. Every moonlit night, my dad always liked to
We drank and had fun under the banana tree. Then Tianyi and I were playing hide-and-seek. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. We have grown up, but my father has already died for his country." Haotian sighed.
said.
Qiu Mu's heart moved. Although she had never met Hao Feifei, judging from Haotian's words and the words and deeds of Luo Xiang and others, Hao Feifei should be a person who attaches great importance to feelings and nostalgia. He has never set foot in Jiangnan and Jiangnan in his life.
On Yizhou Road, there is no chance to know any banana trees. And he cares so much about banana trees, which means that those banana trees are of great significance to him. Could it be that those banana trees were planted by Qin Shang? And Qin Shang’s hometown
Was it on Jiangnan or Yizhou Road that because I missed my hometown, I planted some bananas in memory?
Xin Jiao didn't think as much as Qiu Mu thought. She just smiled and said: "My lord, since there is such a bush of bananas here, why don't I cook and fry two plates of side dishes myself, and let my lord drink and have fun under this tree?"
How about some time to commemorate the passing of the master?"
"Okay." Haotian said immediately.
But when Xian Lianchen heard this, he immediately became interested: "Okay, sister Xin Jiao, let me help you."
The smile on Haotian's face suddenly froze, and he quickly took Xian Lianchen's hand and said: "Lianchen, Xin Jiao is enough to handle the cooking. Look, you and Qingcheng haven't put away anything yet."
Okay, you'd better go and clean up the room first. Well, I'll also clean up my room as well."
There was hesitation on Xian Lianchen's face, but he still nodded. A husband is a wife, and it's okay to make little jokes between husband and wife. However, when you go out, you must clean up your husband's room first. This is a wife's duty.
Seeing Xian Lianchen walking towards the main room, Haotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this girl helped with the cooking, then there would be no need to eat the food.
It was noon when Haotian set off from Shanyin. After arriving in Luozhou and working hard for a while, the sky was already dark. Fortunately, today was a night with few stars in the month, so not only Haotian was very interested, but also Xin
Jiao and others also looked particularly happy.
"My lord, it's a pity that there is wine but no singing. How about the little girl playing a song here? What do you think, lord?" Xin Jiao said with a smile.
Haotian was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, actually I wanted to say this before, but you are tired from cooking, so if I ask you to play the piano, I would be really sorry for you."
"My little girl's piano skills are shallow. My lord and the sisters should stop laughing when the time comes." Xin Jiao nodded, took out the piano from the room, adjusted his sitting posture, and began to brew feelings.
Xin Jiao sat cross-legged, with the guqin placed flat on his knees. His eyes were slightly closed, his hands were raised flat, his arms were bent inward, and his ten jade-like fingers naturally drooped, and his breathing was slow and steady. Haotian was still
It was the first time I saw someone playing the piano like this, and I felt curious. I immediately put down the wine glass in my hand, ready to appreciate Xin Jiao's beautiful piano skills. Xue Qingcheng and others also held their breath, although they didn't understand how Xin Jiao was going to start.
, but as soon as he saw this hand gesture, he knew that Xin Jiao's piano skills were extraordinary, and he waited quietly with an attitude of learning.
It was getting late, and the bright moonlight shone coldly in the quiet courtyard. Occasionally, there were three or two noises from the small courtyard not far away, which seemed even more silent in the quiet night. Occasionally, the wind blew by, blowing the plantains away.
The huge leaves of the tree danced slowly and gently, and the shadows of the trees danced. When a ray of moonlight shone through the leaves of the banana tree and reflected on Xin Jiao's strings, Xin Jiao's hands finally moved, and the movement was as fast as
Wind and fire.
Haotian only felt Xin Jiao's hands swaying, and in a series of afterimages, Xin Jiao's jade fingers had been inserted into the strings. He only heard a clang, and while the ten fingers were dancing, a gentle and refined note had passed from
The music floated out from the strings, and the music was warm and delicate, like a girl's whisper, which made people indescribably comfortable and comfortable. Haotian felt his mind relaxed for a while, and he closed his eyes at the moment, savoring the music carefully.
The voice of Xin Jiao's heart in the music of Xin Jiao's piano. Through Xin Jiao's music of piano, Haotian seemed to feel Xin Jiao's lingering affection for him. It was a feeling like a wife watching her husband suddenly return after being away for a long time. Every look in his eyes
It is full of affection, and every movement is full of infinite style. The warm and sweet taste gives Haotian a unique feeling of home.
The sound of the piano was still fresh and gentle, and the moonlight was still cold and bright. At this moment, a strong wind blew by, and a cloud quietly covered the bright moon in the sky. The earth also became dim, and even the shadows of the trees were dim.
It was very dark. The strong wind blew on the banana leaves, making a crackling sound, and Xin Jiao's style of music suddenly changed, and the speed of the finger dance suddenly doubled at least, and each stroke became more powerful. With the help of
The sound of the wind, which was originally a warm and refined style, suddenly became high-pitched and exciting, like an iron horse. From time to time, there were a few vibrating sounds like war drums, which made Haotian's mind agitate. Now he felt as if he was on the other side of the world.
On a tragic and tragic battlefield, his whole body was covered with blood and his fighting spirit was high.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised his army, I repaired my spear and spear. I share the same hatred with you." I don't know when, a burst of cheers sounded in a courtyard not far away. At first, it was just
One person was singing the harmony loudly, and eventually there were three voices, and one of them was actually a female voice.
Luozhou was relatively quiet at night, and their voices were full of energy and clear enunciation, so Haotian heard them clearly. They were hot-blooded men, so when Haotian heard the sound, he couldn't help but sing loudly: "
How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and halberd. I worked together with you."
The faces of the three women in Xue Qingcheng were solemn at the same time. The other party's voice was full of energy and Ning Jiu lingered. It was obvious that he was a master. In terms of skill alone, I am afraid that he was not as good as him. But they immediately relaxed.
frown, because they already know who these three people are.
The sound of the piano finally stopped, and a clear voice not far away could be heard saying loudly: "May I ask who is playing here? Li Xiaomo, Qinchuan, can you come with your friends to talk about it?"
"It turns out it's Brother Li, someone is trying to trick Haotian. Brother Li, please come over quickly. I wonder who his friend is?" Haotian said excitedly.
"Haha, it turns out to be Duke Hao. I'm sorry." Li Xiaomo also laughed. At the end of his words, the three figures had already walked outside the small courtyard, and Haotian quickly stood up to greet them.
"Oh, it turns out to be the Fairy Shenglanxin. We really have never met each other in our lives. We parted from the mountains that day, and someone was still lamenting that we didn't know what year and month we would be able to see the fairy. I didn't expect to meet here today."
Seeing Sheng Lanxin's beautiful white clothes, Haotian immediately smiled. When he turned to look at Li Xiaomo's other friend, Haotian was surprised: "I didn't expect to meet Chu here today.
Young Villa Master, there was a battle at Hukou that day. If Young Master Chu hadn’t come to help regardless of the past, I’m afraid I, Haotian, wouldn’t be able to stand here today. Come on, you three, please come in and sit down.”
Xian Lianchen and Qiu Mu quickly helped Li Xiaomo and others bring stools. When they saw Xue Qingcheng, Li Xiaomo and others quickly saluted and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Qingcheng."
"My dear princess, this is not above the court, and we are all comrades who have shared life and death together, so it's better to call me Concubine Qingcheng." Xue Qingcheng said calmly and generously. She is a woman with a smart mind, but
One sentence shortened the distance between the three of them.
It was obvious that they were thinking of how everyone was discussing how to send troops in Tiandu Shengjing before the Battle of Hukou that day. Sheng Lanxin and others all smiled knowingly.
Sheng Lanxin looked at Qiu Mu, smiled and said, "This must be Miss Qiu Mu."
"That's right, little lady." Qiu Mu also smiled and nodded. Not everyone has seen the top ten heroes of China face to face. They are just the collective name given by people in the world to the ten most outstanding juniors in the martial arts world of China.
Just like Tong Yue, the last of the Ten Heroes, if he hadn't bent his bow and shot an arrow that time, Li Xiaomo wouldn't have recognized him.
Li Xiaomo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Today, six of the top ten heroes of China gathered at once, and only Princess Qingqing, Princess Ruo Shuizhang, Tong Yue and Song Shixiong were not here. This is unprecedented.
Just for this reason, someone is going to have a drink today. By the way, this girl is Miss Xin Jiao, a talented girl who is famous in the capital of heaven. Unexpectedly, the girl's delicate fingers can actually play
It would be disrespectful for someone to produce such a generous and tragic song. At first, someone thought it was some senior master who performed the music here."
Xin Jiao nodded and said: "Your Majesty praised me, how could such a little girl's crude tricks come to the attention of His Majesty? As for this song, I got it after watching the battle at Hukou Ferry. However, the young lady is limited by her talent.
As for it taking so long to compose the music.”
"My tutor has said that anyone who can compose music by himself must have reached the master level in music theory. When I was in the Holy Capital of Tiandu, I also heard about Xin Jiao's Qinqi, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs in Luoxingju.
Fu Nuhong is proficient in all kinds of cooking, and when I saw her today, she is indeed well-deserved." Sheng Lanxin turned her head, smiled and said to Haotian: "The Duke is very lucky."
Haotian didn't take it seriously, and said without humility: "That's right, they say that a good night's flowers explain the words, and the quiet night's wine is full of wine. It is indeed a great blessing in life to have such a beautiful woman as your companion."
"What about us?" Xian Lianchen asked with her little face close to her face.
"You?" Haotian glanced at Li Xiaomo and others, secretly put his head to Xian Lianchen's ear, and said softly: "Reading banned books on snowy nights, dreaming of clouds and rain in Gaotang, you said that?"
"Rogue!" Xian Lianchen's face turned red and he gave Haotian a hard blow. What kind of martial arts were Sheng Lanxin and others? Although Haotian spoke softly, the three of them, including Qiu Muxue Qingcheng, all listened.
It was clear. Regarding this, Qiu Mu and Xue Qingcheng both smiled helplessly. It was really hard to say when meeting a lewd thief like Haotian.
