The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 40 She is not Lin Zhiyu!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the girl's hairpin fell to the ground due to the force, breaking into two pieces, and then a head of black hair poured down like a waterfall.

Her hair was flying in the wind, blocking her sight, but the girl was not affected at all. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in the music. She kept playing, and the music she played was rapid and high-pitched, making people's blood rush. gush.

The wind was getting stronger, and there was faint thunder in the distance. Suddenly, it sounded like drums and gongs coming when a battle was about to begin.

The girl's hair is messy, which is not rude, but seems to be a blessing from the gods, adding a bit of tragedy to the song of breaking the formation.

For a moment, the sound of wind, thunder, pipa... all mixed together, and the people present seemed to be immersed in the scene, seeing with their own eyes the countless soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

Blood and tears, life and death, the brave soldiers who fought against the enemy fell one after another, roaring and wailing, blood filled the sky, the powerful enemy was stubborn, and despair and collapse pressed on everyone's heart.

The pipa music is sometimes like crying and complaining, and sometimes it is passionate and impassioned.

By the time the song ends, the battle is finally won.

But the price is that there are corpses everywhere. No one collects the bones of the dead soldiers, and no one even remembers their names.

There are many people present who had great ambitions when they were young, eager to make achievements and protect poor people from all over the world. However, as they became entangled in the ups and downs of officialdom and interests, they gradually forgot their original intentions and fawned over others.

This song, in a trance, evoked their ambitions that had long been dead on the edge of the sea of ​​desire.

Outside the music, there is prosperity, singing and dancing, but within the music, there are yellow sand and piles of dead bones.

Just like today's banquet where hundreds of officials are enjoying themselves, the wine and meat are flowing freely, and the troops on the border outside the Great Wall are in a hurry, and there is no time to attack!

Who got this prosperity?

Who are the withered bones hidden in the yellow sand?

The entire honor of the Pingxi Hou Mansion was earned by the Lin family with countless lives. Even the Qingxian Dynasty was built with blood and flesh by the Lin family's troops!

But what about them?

Enjoying the merits of the heroic spirit, drinking and talking, but doing things like forgetting his roots, while Lin Ye was guarding the border outside, he arranged for his eldest daughter to embarrass his younger daughter!

The music ended, but the wind did not stop, just like the non-stop heartbeat of everyone present.

Lin Zhiyu handed the pipa to Lan Sheng and bowed down to the empress on the throne. She said nothing, but she was very enlightened.

No one said a difficult word at the banquet. Instead, boasts came in twos and threes.

"So superb!"

"It's more than superb, it's simply more powerful than her masters!"

"Does this mean you can't play well? If you say you don't play well, wouldn't we even touch the door?"

"Could it be that Lin Zhiyu is not good at it, but that she can't tell the difference between good and bad?"

"I can't tell the difference. They are just low-key on weekdays. The Lin family is not a public person. Look at Lin Ye. He never returns to Beijing quietly. Every time he comes back, he brings good news. No matter how outstanding his military exploits are, he has never been seen before. The gong clears the way while laboring the people and harming the wealth!"

"Then where did the rumors about this being bad come from?"

"You know it's just a rumor. Someone must be adding fuel to the fire. I don't know who has such evil intentions to harm Lin Zhiyu like this!" "Whoever benefits is the one!"

In the crowd, Xie Yiwan heard these words clearly, and she gave Run Shu a vicious look. This was completely different from what Run said in his letter!
Everything that happened today was different from what Runshu said!
Xie Yiwan glanced around. Many of the noble ladies who had disliked Lin Zhiyu earlier changed their minds and hesitantly exclaimed, "Is she really Lin Zhiyu?"

Even Zhao Wu stared blankly at where Lin Zhiyu was.

Zhao Wu once had a great ambition to fight horses, shoot arrows, and kill enemies in battle, which made him famous throughout the ages. However, he was born with a weak constitution. His father was a civil servant, and his son inherited his father's business. He will probably never be on the battlefield in this life.

He was indulgent and indulgent, and the flowers in the capital were charming, and his ambition was lost to the years.

It wasn't until he heard the words "Is she really Lin Zhiyu?" that Zhao Wu suddenly came back to his senses. When he realized that the person he was looking at in trance was Lin Zhiyu, his expression suddenly became fierce, and he was busy looking for Xie Yiwan in the crowd. figure.

Xie Yiwan's expression is not ugly, but it is the result of her efforts to suppress it. No one knows how tightly the fists in her sleeves are clenched, and no one knows how much she hates him!

Except Zhao Wu.

"She is not Lin Zhiyu!"

The sudden shouts that echoed through the crowd forced their discussion and admiration to come to an abrupt end, and almost everyone looked at Zhao Wu.

"She is not Lin Zhiyu." Zhao Wu repeated and stood up.

"What? Not Lin Zhiyu?"

Zhao Wu spoke firmly, "Yes, who among you here knows what kind of virtue Lin Zhiyu is?"

"Illiterate, timid, and can't even speak in front of others. I saw her a while ago. How could she become so elegant and transcendent in music in just a few days?! Someone must be pretending to be someone else. !”

"This……"

Zhao Wu expressed the sentiments of many people. Lin Zhiyu's change today is indeed strange.

If they usually have misunderstandings about Lin Zhiyu, it is possible because they are outsiders after all, but even the people in the Pingxihou Mansion were shocked, as if they had never known that Lin Zhiyu knew how to play the pipa.

The credibility of falsehoods continues to increase.

However, no one saw a trace of panic on Lin Zhiyu. She arranged her bun and walked slowly towards Zhao Wu.

When she stood still, she spoke in a soft and steady voice, "Mr. Zhao, you can eat more, but you can't talk nonsense. If I'm not Lin Zhiyu, then who am I?"

Zhao Wu rubbed his neck and shouted, "You know who you are. You must have been brought in by the Lin family to replace Lin Zhiyu to perform for glory!"

As he spoke, he shouted to the crowd, "Lin Zhiyu, are you so timid and afraid of getting into trouble? You don't even dare to show up for your great-grandmother's birthday. This is a birthday banquet hosted by your Pingxihou Mansion. Everyone present Your relatives, the queen and the plaque personally given by her majesty are here today. You find someone to pretend to be someone else, you know you are deceiving the emperor!"

Lin Zhiyu suddenly laughed, "Master Zhao is so sure that I am not Lin Zhiyu? What if I am? What crime should Master Zhao be guilty of speaking nonsense in front of the empress, His Majesty's plaque, and all the civil and military officials?"

Zhao Wu was convinced in his heart that he was not afraid at all, and said extremely arrogantly: "If it is true that I am talking nonsense, I will be willing to receive a fifty-fifty imperial rod. If I am lucky enough to survive, after I recover, I will kowtow from here to Yong'an Temple and kowtow three times." Nine bows to thank the old lady and pray for blessings for the border officers and soldiers!"

"But if you are not - then you, Lin Zhiyu, will receive these fifty court staffs, and you and Lin Chen's family will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Some people gasped. Not to mention what these fifty court staffs meant to a frail girl. The crime of bullying the emperor alone was punishable by beheading. The Lin family is such a meritorious family. In front of the queen and all the officials. Come on, this Zhao Wu is too arrogant!
