On the third day of November in the first year of Xianheng, the first snow of this winter finally fell. It was not heavy, and it drifted for a while around dusk, coating the earth with a light layer of white, but the sky suddenly became colder.
It was so cold that there were almost no pedestrians on the streets and alleys. Even if there were, they were those who rubbed their hands vigorously and hurried home. The noise and prosperity of Khotan City in the past were actually disrupted by this sudden cold.
It was completely desolate, but there was a different scene in the palace, but there were bursts of music, endless singing, and dancing, a joyous celebration of singing and dancing, all for the arrival of one person - Datang
Zhou Wang Li Xian!
Li Xian arrived in Khotan around Shenshi today. The reason why he arrived so late was not entirely due to the need to rest and recuperate, but because Li Xian subconsciously was not very willing to meet Fu Jianxiong, his cheap father-in-law, even though he knew that
He couldn't escape this hurdle, and he also knew that Fu Xiong played a decisive role in the Tang Dynasty stabilizing the situation in Anxi, but the awkwardness in his heart did not change due to his will. After a few days of procrastination, he finally arrived at Yu.
In the city of Khotan, when he arrived, he was warmly invited into the palace by Fu Jianxiong. A banquet to welcome the wind and wash away the dust was inevitable.[]
Since it was time to receive the wind and wash away the dust, not only Li Xian, the guest of honor, had to be present, but also Li Jinxing, Jiang Ye, Li He and other military generals were indispensable to be present. In addition, Khotan's big and small dignitaries, the huge hall was packed with people.
It was very lively, especially as soon as the wine was drunk, and the gangs of people were fighting each other with great joy. From time to time, they would fight over the wine with the guests from Khotan.
The one who is incongruous is probably Li Xian himself. Even though Li Xian is always smiling and does not refuse the toasts of others, he feels that he has obviously not been involved in such joy. As soon as this situation occurs, he can
Fu Jianxiong saw this in his eyes and became anxious in his heart.
In Fu Xiong's opinion, the key to whether Yuchi's family can securely sit in Khotan lies with Li Xian. If Li Xian is not served well, the fun will be small. However, he and Li Xian are not familiar with each other.
, unable to grasp Li Xian's pulse, I really didn't dare to act haphazardly. After a few drinks, I saw that Li Xian was always indifferent, so I had to play the last trump card - but
Seeing Fucheng Xiong beckoning a valet to his side, he whispered a few instructions, and then he saw the valet hurriedly turn into the back hall.
"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng..."
A song and dance had just stopped, and everyone in the palace was enjoying themselves in the drinking room. A few strings sounded, and a murderous aura suddenly burst out. In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted, and they saw the bead curtain on the side of the hall.
I don't know when a figure was sitting upright. Although his face couldn't be seen clearly, his slim figure was vaguely distinguishable. Before everyone could recover, they heard the sound of strings suddenly becoming more urgent, and the sound of killing was filled with tragic and majestic sounds.
Get up, and listen carefully, there is an artistic conception of a national crisis, a powerful enemy pressing down on the country, and a feeling of sharing the same hatred with the enemy spontaneously arises in everyone's heart. Then, as soon as the melody changes, the strings sound as soft as water, lingering and shrill, just like a wife sending her husband off to join the army.
Go, the confusion of reluctant to leave is sad. When you look back at the place of remembrance, the sound of the strings changes again. As the clank is played, the power of the battle formation and the ferocity of the military suddenly appear. For a moment, the sound of the strings roars, like thousands of horses galloping, chasing.
The scene of annihilating the remnants of the enemy filled everyone's hearts, making people's blood boil. In the midst of the excitement, the sound of the strings gradually stopped, and in an inaudible place, there suddenly came the sound of joy, like a hero's triumph, everyone was celebrating, the song ended, and the whole palace was filled with joy.
Silence, only the lingering sound lingering.
"What a great song "Army March", great!"
Others only found this music exciting, but Li Xian, who was proficient in music, heard all the clues in it, and was deeply moved by this person's piano skills. He couldn't help but slap the table and start cheering.
"Okay, wonderful!"
"Wonderful, rare, rare!"
"Okay, okay!"
…
Since Li Xian had applauded, everyone in the hall did not dare not to express their opinions. Regardless of whether they understood or not, at this moment, they could only cheer loudly, and for a while the whole hall burst into applause.
one slice.
"Your Highness has wrongly received the award. This little girl is too embarrassed to deserve it. I don't know how your Highness thinks this song is better. Please enlighten me."
After the applause stopped for a while, a pleasant voice sounded softly from inside the bead curtain, as if Li Xian had come to take the exam on the spot. As soon as he said this, the whole hall was stunned. Even Fu Xiong was a little dumbfounded. Did he have the intention to dissuade him, in front of him?
It was really inconvenient to do it in front of everyone, so I had no choice but to smile bitterly, shake my head, and simply let it go.
How is it better? This question is difficult to answer, because the artistic conception in the music can only be understood, and it is difficult to explain it in words. If you really want to explain it clearly and clearly, it will require an article. Obviously, it is not suitable to wait here.
It's just a matter of telling the story in the context of the situation. Based on this alone, the versatile Li Xian cannot be troubled.
"My lord, please lend me your piano."
Li Xian did not answer the woman's question directly, but smiled, cupped his hands to Fu Xiong, and made a request.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Someone is coming to get the guqin!"
Seeing that Li Xian seemed to be planning to answer this question with the music of the piano, Fu Xiong immediately became interested. He nodded with a smile, raised his voice and gave an order. The attendants who were waiting aside hurriedly fetched a Guqin and set it up.
On the table in front of Li Xian.
"Good piano!"
As soon as Li Xian saw this guqin, which was dark in color, simple and elegant, and obviously not a modern thing, he plucked it a few times, and a series of crisp tones rang out, and the sound was condensed but not scattered. It was a very good piano, and he couldn't help but feel
He shouted "Hello", and then, without caring about the reactions of others, he straightened his clothes, sat upright, put his hands on the piano, and the song "March on the Military" suddenly started playing.
"If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will end. The weak and crowned prisoners will ask for long tassels. If you don't see me, the ban will be far away, and the Jueyu Qingqi will urge Zhan Yun. A man should be in a dangerous line, how can he let a scholarly crown miss his life..."
Li Xian played and sang at the same time, and his voice was not necessarily beautiful, but it was powerful. Together, he sang, full of ambition, and filled the hall with excitement. Although the generals of the Tang Dynasty in the palace had never heard this word, they were excited and shouted.
They started humming along to the beat, and the sound got louder and louder. At the end, they all stood up and roared out the strongest sound.
While the song was getting emotional, the beaded curtain moved, and a graceful figure flashed out from inside. However, he saw that this woman was dressed in white, with a thin veil hanging on her face. She could not see her true face clearly, but her deep blue eyes were
Like the sea, with two willow-leaf eyebrows slightly raised, he is full of heroic energy. He holds a three-foot green peak. In a moment, he dances with the song. As he circles back and forth, his sword is bright, his waist is as soft as a willow branch, and his water sleeves are fluttering like an immortal.
Like thunder, stillness is like a virgin, really dancing in all directions, like Yi shooting down nine sunsets, delicate like dragons soaring like emperors, coming like thunder and gathering wrath, ending like the clear light of the river and sea.
"Okay, Your Highness is mighty!"
"Your Highness, this is wonderful!"
"It's better to sing and dance well!"
…
After a while, the dance stopped at the end of the song. Jiang Ye and others were all afraid of the world being in chaos, so they started to make a lot of noise, cheering, stamping feet, and roaring.
"Is this answer satisfactory to the girl?"
Li Xian ignored the commotion of the generals, just stroked the strings of his piano, looked at the woman in white standing with a sword, and asked lightly.
"Your Highness is good at playing the piano, playing good music, and has good ambitions. I am impressed by this, and I will allow you to dance for Your Highness again."
The woman in white politely held a sword to Li Xianfu and said blessing, then she stood up straight, smiled brightly, and then floated behind the bead curtain. After a while, the music gradually started to play, and the bead curtain trembled, and a sound
A beautiful figure floated out holding a pipa, with two water sleeves fluttering in the air. The white gauze covering her face had already swirled to the ground, revealing a beautiful face. There was not a single flaw on her jade-white face.
The tall nose bridge and the fresh cherry mouth give people a stunning beauty. Not to mention that others were dumbfounded, even people like Li Xian who were used to seeing beauties were dazzled by it for a while.
Endless.
"The jianjia is green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. If you follow it back, the road is long and blocked. If you follow it back, you will be in the middle of the water..."
The woman in white didn't care at all about the astonishing gazes of others. She danced gracefully to the music, singing and dancing at the same time. Unlike the previous sword dance, which was as fierce as fire, this dance showed the softness and grace of a woman.
There is infinite tenderness in one side of that turn, which makes people's hearts of love and pity rise involuntarily at the first sight. They are drumming and dancing. The beauty has arrived in front of Li Xian's banquet. During the last turn, she lightly raises her hand and follows the trend.
He already had a wine bottle in his hand, and as soon as the song ended, he was in the position of offering wine.
"Your Highness, please drink from this bottle."
The woman in white did not hide her admiration for Li Xian at all. She looked at Li Xian with a pair of big blue eyes without blinking. She lightly opened her red lips and said something crisply.
"Ah, okay, just drink alone."
Even though Li Xian has always been popular with women, in fact, he is always passive when it comes to relationships. At this time, when this woman in white made such a fuss, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he stood up helplessly, embarrassed.
I rubbed my hands, but I didn't know how to deal with it. Then I saw that the woman in white remained motionless. I had no choice but to stutter back and reached out to take the wine bottle from the woman's hand. I gently touched it with my fingers.
At the first touch, the woman in white felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her body trembled and her heart panicked. The courage she had given to toast suddenly disappeared. She twisted her waist with a red face and let out a soft breath,
He ran back behind the bead curtain as if he had fled.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
"Drink, Your Highness, drink quickly..."
"Hahaha, Your Highness is blushing!"
…
When the generals of the Tang Dynasty saw this, they all started to make a fuss in order to avoid chaos in the world. They immediately made Li Xian's face red, but they were helpless with these guys. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise their heads.
After drinking the full bottle of wine in one gulp, there was another loud and noisy sound immediately...
