Late Tang

"Julie, from now on, you will be Brother Ji Yu's. Everyone is very happy today. You should take this opportunity to play another piece of pipa for everyone, and let Brother Ji Yu see your talent and know that we sons and daughters of the sea Not only capable of martial arts, but also literary!" Seeing that Megan showed her face in front of everyone just now, the red beard took the initiative to fight for the opportunity for her daughter to show her talents.

Li Jing almost rolled her eyes when she heard that, what do you mean she will be mine in the future.These words are actually said by the father, how can there be such a push and hurry to give the daughter to someone else to be a concubine?But what surprised him even more was that the fiery beauty who had been cold like an iceberg actually got up and bowed slightly to salute him, and then called a pirate behind him to give him a lute and started playing.

As soon as the pipa strings were plucked, Li Jing immediately recognized that this piece of music was actually one of the three famous pipa songs of the Tang Dynasty, Pipa Xing.Bai Juyi's Pipa Xing is very famous in later generations, and it was even compiled by a famous composer at this time.Music has no borders, let alone time and space.The arrangement of this song seems to be very simple, and the performance is not complicated. They are some commonly used basic fingerings. The fingerings are not many and not complicated. Li Jing can play it himself. playing.But although he thought the piece was simple, Wang Guiniang couldn't play it anyway. Wan'er was a little better, but she could barely play the tune.

But at this moment, Zhu Li was holding the pipa upright in her arms, with a half face, but her skill in playing was superb, and every note of the tune seemed to come alive.Her playing right hand is strong and powerful, "plucking like wind and rain", and her left hand is delicate in pressing strings, "good at pinching and twisting".When it is played smoothly, it can be described as a frost knife that breaks the bamboo without any knots.And when it is cold and astringent, it can be described as "ice spring sobbing and flowing". When she replays and plays quickly, she can only use Yuehan to sing the palace chime, suddenly playing the song and breaking the sound and amazed.

This piece of music is always repeating the prelude, and always hovering in the bass area, using vibrato and overtones to play a long sound. , the melancholic sound of the keys, coupled with the unique sound quality of the pipa, intriguingly brings the listener into the memories of the long past, and inserts their own emotional components into the listeners' memories of the past.Slightly closing his eyes and listening to this performance, he couldn't help but think of the admiration for this piece of music from professional masters who have heard it in later generations.

It is as quiet as a weeping pipa language, lightly gathering and slowly twirling the ice strings.

The melodious pipa music reverberated in the room, and the group of pirates who were noisy just now quieted down, listening to the sound of nature.Even the guards at the door were fascinated by such beautiful notes, so when Zhang Chengzong said that something important had been reported, the guards were full of displeasure.Being interrupted by someone listening to the beautiful music, he nodded reluctantly with a resentful face, and then opened the door, still looking at Zhang Chengzong's back like a child with a lingering heart and murmuring with.

The sound of Zhang Chengzong's footsteps interrupted the beautiful note, causing everyone in the room to turn their heads and stare at each other.

"My lord," Zhang Chengzong didn't care about the murderous eyes of the pirates, and walked directly to Li Jing, "General Liu is back!"

Li Jing nodded, "Is everything going well for them!"

"Everything is going well. Liu Jiangtou brought fifty boats here, and he also brought a thousand brothers." Zhang Chengzong nodded, paused and said in a bit of a dilemma, "However, apart from them, the Princess and the Miss Yu, Miss Xiao and Miss Wang also came together."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Jing shouted in a low voice, "How did you let them know about this? How did Lao Liu do things? And we only have 50 boats, where did we get more than [-] boats?"

Zhang Chengzong lowered his head and said: "Lao Liu is now commanding the fleet to dock. All our ships have arrived, and the remaining ships belong to the Xiao family and King Zhao. I don't know how the princess got the news that we are here. , I actually already knew the news that we had seized a large amount of supplies. When Lao Liu returned, they had already prepared the boat to come, but Lao Liu's persuasion was fruitless, and he was worried that they would come alone, so he finally had to bring them along. Woke up."

Li Jing tapped his head with some headaches, these women are really not ordinary troublemakers.Not only through this incident, Li Jing now believed [-]% of Gongsun Lan's words, and this Li Huier was really a member of Li Jingmen.

"Come as soon as you come, anyway, we will go back in a day or two at most." Li Jing exhaled and sneered, "Where are they, I have to welcome them well."

The red beard stared dissatisfiedly at the conversation between Li Jing and Zhang Chengzong as if there was no one there: "If you have something to say, you can talk about it later. It's not easy for my daughter Julie to play for everyone."

"My lord, there is another very important piece of news. When we came, the scout boat that went out to investigate found an important piece of information."

"What important information!"

"We found that the joint fleet of Duli Town has set sail from the port of Duli Town at night!"

Li Jing jumped up suddenly, and said in surprise: "What are you talking about, the combined fleet in Duli Town has set sail from the port? When did it happen? How many warships set sail? How far are they from us? Did you inform us? Everyone get ready to defend!"

Li Jing's words immediately silenced the whole room. After a long while, Whitebeard also jumped up, his face was full of dignity, and he shouted: "Damn it, the United Fleet found us. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare for the wind." Shoutout!"

The other pirates in the house are also in chaos. All the pirates here know the power of the combined fleet of Duli Town. It has more than 100 warships and [-] sailors. , Youzhou, Liaodong, and Xinluo are all powerful and invincible existences. Now that they have suddenly left Hong Kong, Zhendonghai and the others have no desire to fight against them at all.

Li Jing also hurriedly said: "Call the brothers immediately and prepare to board the ship to fight!" Although Li Jing felt that it would be better to face the United Fleet and stick to the island to fight against the enemy, but he knew the expression of the pirates. It is impossible.The only way now is to escape.How far you can escape, how far you can escape, how much you can escape.

Zhang Chengzong looked at the people in the chaotic room, with a look of surprise on his face, he grabbed Li Jing's arm, "Master, don't worry, I haven't said anything just now, the fleet in Duli Town"

"What happened to the fleet in Duli Town?"

"The fleet of Duli Town is not coming towards us!" Zhang Chengzong managed to hold back his smile, "All the fleet of Duli Town is dispatched, but they are not coming towards us, but heading northeast. Their goal It's Qingnipu, not us."

Li Jing stared at Zhang Chengzong, wanting to see if he suddenly got nervous and made some cold joke with him. At this moment, his mind was also in chaos, but after staring for a long time, he didn't see the possibility that Zhang Chengzong was joking.He couldn't believe it, thinking that this was really the biggest joke. "You mean, the fleet in Duli Town didn't find us, and they suddenly ran to fight with Qingnipu?" He nodded, and Li Jing slapped his forehead heavily, laughing wildly: "Sanqing Dao Bless you!"

Their words made the room quiet again. White Beard covered his chest and panted heavily, laughing wildly: "Now I'm beginning to believe that brother Ji Yu is indeed a person blessed by heaven."

Whitebeard looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the pirates cheered loudly, even Megan slapped the table excitedly, and Zhu Liyu swept wildly on the pipa, making bursts of passionate and wild sounds.While cheering, the pirates began throwing bowls, throwing tables and clapping their chests to express the nervousness in their hearts just now.

After Megan kicked over the table in front of her, she rushed forward and hugged Li Jing in her arms, and dragged him around to dance. For a while, she was crazy like a little girl.Even Julie was not to be outdone, and came up to hug Li Jing in her arms, and even her bright red lips like rose petals were printed on his cheeks.When the two of them stopped, Li Jing already felt dizzy, the fragrance of virginity still lingered in front of her, and the feeling of being tightly squeezed by the two bulging lotus chambers just now lingered on her arms, chest, and back.

"What's going on? Why are Duli Town and Qingnipu going to fight, why?" Li Jing asked a little puzzled.

The white beards were almost insane at this time, panting again and picked up the table pedal that had just been kicked down, "Brother Ji Yu, you don't know enough about Liao Hai, if you know a little From the past events in Liaohai, you will know that it is definitely possible for Duli Town to attack Qingnipu."

"Oh, is there any old enmity between Duli Town and Qingnipu? Aren't they all the forces of my Tang people in Liaodong?"

Zhu Li smiled slightly at Li Jing, and explained in her usual cold tone: "Duli Town and Qingnipu are both trading port cities on the southern coast of the Liaodong Peninsula. , is actually a joint force formed by representatives of many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty. Qingnipu, which is only a hundred miles away from Duli Town, was also formed by the Tang people who stayed there after the Tang Dynasty withdrew from Liaodong. However, Duli Town is composed of merchants, while Qingnipu’s initial power was composed of horse thieves.”

"The distance between Duli Town and Qingnipu is only a hundred miles. Duli Town occupies the most important passage between Dengzhou and Liaodong, while Qingnipu occupies the largest fishing port bay in southern Liaoning. The group of merchants in Duli Town had already I have been coveting Qingnipu for a long time, and I have never stopped thinking about it for more than a hundred years. They have tried many methods such as bribery, negotiation, sneak attack, and storm, but they have never succeeded. On the contrary, the relationship between the two families has worsened. , and finally became a complete mortal enemy. You don't know how many times Duli Town threatened to attack Qingnipu, and Duli Town's combined fleet attacked Qingnipu again and again, but until now, Qingnipu is still standing on the sidelines , those merchants in Duli Town are about to bite their teeth!"

"They have always regarded this as a humiliation! As soon as they find a chance, they will attack Qingnipu!"

"Is Qingnipu very strong?" Li Jing asked with a smile.

"The last time Duli Town attacked Qingnipu was ten years ago, but in the end Duli Town suffered a big loss and returned home. After that, it has been holding back, and now it has been holding back for ten years, and finally it is going to war again , let's just wait and see a good show!" Julie smiled wickedly.
