Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 186

Sure enough, Yu Zixi glanced sideways with a smile, and said leisurely: "You just met the queen once, and she even gave you this unique treasure?"

"Thanks to the queen's love, she gave me some prescriptions." Qin Changge smiled and said: "The prince must be very familiar with the queen. Naturally, he knows her. He is open-minded and never sticks to things outside of him."

"Of course I'm familiar," Yu Zixi fell silent suddenly, and then slowly opened his mouth after a long while, "It's hard for people not to be familiar with her..."

Qin Changge caressed the smooth streamlines of the pipa, glanced at Yu Zixi, and joked, "Looking at the prince's expression, he seems to be yearning for a beautiful woman..."

Looking at her with a strange look, Yu Zixi said, "Simu? Hehe."

He didn't want to say any more, but subconsciously stroked his waist lightly.

When he changed his clothes just now, Qin Changge had already seen that the red light that he never left his body had been carefully folded by him and stored in a dark bag at his waist. The stretching frames are all detachable, and Yu Zixi really put in a lot of effort in order to be able to carry this lamp with him at any time.

"I've seen the lamp that the prince never leaves his hand." Qin Changge smiled casually, "I always thought it looked familiar, but now that I think about it, I seem to have seen this style a long time ago."

"Have you seen it?" Yu Zixi's beautiful eyes, which had been lazily half-closed after the veil, opened slightly, and her voice, which has become much thinner after changing her voice, sounds really ridiculous, "Where is it?"

"In Chihe..." Qin Changge stopped in the middle of speaking, glanced at Yu Zixi's expression, smiled, stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, and said very badly: "Girl, we're here."

The corners of his mouth were twitching unpretentiously, and Yu Zixi stepped off the shaft in one step, as if his steps were too big, Qin Changge exaggeratedly went to help, and whispered: "Girl, be more careful."

Yu Zixi smiled and grabbed her hand, but she didn't cover her hand lightly like Liu Fufeng, but viciously grabbed Qin Changsinger's back, and whispered in her ear: "I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy with anger, I'm holding you tighter, don't be surprised."

Qin Changge reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, and said with a smile, "Oh, why are you dizzy? Come on, I'll hug your waist... Hey, what's in your belt?"

Yu Zixi let her go immediately.

The chariots and horses drove all the way to the Moon Cave Gate in the inner courtyard, and the servants who led them had retreated in front of the second gate, and the two nuns came to meet them. When Zixi looked up, he couldn't help but startled, and exchanged a look.

The two of them acted as if they hadn't seen it, and they walked all the way under the guidance of the nanny, both consciously or unconsciously observing the surrounding terrain and the layout of Li's residence. Every few zhang, there are tall and straight birches planted, but there are very few flowers. The pavilions and paths are scattered and arranged, showing that the people who built the yard have hills and valleys in their hearts.

More importantly, the entire inner and outer courtyards were loosely defended on the outside and tight on the inside. All objects on the ground that could hide people or cover up their whereabouts were shoveled away. Teams of courtyard guards shuttled by, with strong crossbows on their backs and simple knives hanging from their waists. , The defense is strict, it is obvious that Lee Teng-long has also made many preparations for the possible way of breaking the city of Xiliang.

Ninth Lady's boudoir is naturally not so masculine. The exquisite house imitating the style of Xiliang and Longnan is bright and spacious, with a palace-made wind lantern with a beautiful woman pattern hanging on it. The charming woman on the log tung oil corridor under the eaves is also as bright and beautiful as the golden bell under this lamp.

When she opened her mouth, her voice sounded like a golden bell.

"I've heard for a long time that the beautiful girl is good at the pipa and is famous in Ducheng. I don't want to be so beautiful!"

Qin Changge lowered his eyebrows and smiled secretly in his heart—so jealous.

Yu Zixi shrugged cowardly, "I've seen Mrs. Ninth."

As soon as he pulled back his cloak, he opened his cloak slightly, and the light gauze clothes inside were immediately exposed to the light of spring, and the snow was dazzling. The ninth lady's complexion changed, and then she came down the steps, took Yu Zixi's hand personally, and said: "Young lady, it's the first time. Come to Li's Mansion, the steps are high, be careful."

"How dare you be a jade woman?" Yu Zixi pretended to be gentle, but Mrs. Mu Jiu suddenly said in surprise: "The jade woman is so delicate, how can there be calluses on her hands?"

Qin Changge raised his eyes and stared at Yu Zixi, who smiled unhurriedly: "The jade man was born in a poor family, otherwise how could he be reduced to prostitution? This cocoon is half of the farm work when he was young, and half of it is a place of entertainment. It was caused by learning pipa in middle school, which made Mrs. Ninth laugh."

"You can really talk," Mrs. Ninth smiled coquettishly, "Why would I laugh at you? I can't even envy you for your good looks." The three of them entered the room, and everyone raised their eyes in unison. Shocked, the Ninth Lady, who was originally beautiful, suddenly felt pale.A sneer flashed across the corner of her mouth, her eyes rolled, and Mrs. Ninth said: "The general will be here soon. He never likes crowds. Please feel sorry for me, sisters. Familiarize yourself with the music score behind the gauze screen and play it to the general later, okay?" ?”

It was obvious that he didn't want the general to see Yu Zixi. Everyone knew it well, and they all smiled and nodded. Immediately, a nanny moved the gauze screen and covered everyone tightly. Sit down, and squeeze Yu Zixi to the farthest corner of the room.

Yu Zixi was not in a hurry, Shi Shiran sat down, turned over the score in his hand, showing a sneering smile.

Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, as if a group of people were approaching, and then there was the sound of a person's footsteps in the vestibule, and the other footsteps stopped in the corridor and did not move on. Qin Changge and Yu Zixi looked at each other, feeling that As expected, Li Denglong was careful and cautious, and he brought quite a few guards with him when he entered the inner courtyard.

Then I heard the voice of Mrs. Ninth, the voice of whispering and whispering, the voice of Li Denglong's gentle answer, the light and shadow in front of the gauze screen changed, and I vaguely saw Mrs. Ninth leaning against a man coming in. On the gauze screen, but just to the upper half of the peony branch - not tall.

Mrs. Nine did not know what she said in Li Denglong's ear, which caused him to laugh happily. The laughter was thick and thick, and the golden bells rang crisply in unison—the internal strength was good.

Through the gauze screen, I saw him sitting on the left side of Mrs. Ninth, the guards outside the corridor on his right side, the window in front, and the wall behind. There was no place on his body that could be attacked by someone—extremely cautious.

Even, in his subconscious mind, even Mrs. Ninth could be his shield. Qin Changge defined him with extreme disdain in his heart-extremely selfish.

Based on a comprehensive judgment, this person's character is not good, and it is extremely difficult to attack.

Yu Zixi just smiled lightly and plucked the Yaoxian lightly.

Behind the screen, the cloud lamp with jade hook and pattern on the embossed lamp stand of Huangyang lady casts a hazy yellow light and shadow, and one of them shines obliquely on the person who is picking the strings. Merry.

Faintly hearing the sweet whispers of swallows outside the gauze screen, Mrs. Nine smiled and said, "This concubine, with the song "Bi Yunxiao", wishes my husband the best of both worlds."

She held up the golden cup with her slender fingers, and prayed every line: "My husband is my pillar of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and I will not fall down the Great Wall. I think that Xiao Jue's child, who is still young, must bow to my husband's feet, trembling and begging for mercy."

Li Denglong twitched his beard and laughed, and drank wine in the jade hands of the Ninth Madam Xiangze, saying: "Don't underestimate Xiao Jue, he is good at fighting, but under such circumstances, with an army of 80, it is difficult to supply. It will be difficult to continue under Ducheng, and if you don’t retreat, you will have to retreat... Haha, let’s talk... I’m not the kind of person who will be slaughtered..."

He stopped halfway through the last sentence, laughed, with a hint of complacency in his voice, but cautiously just drank and stopped talking.

Qin Changge and Yu Zixi glanced at each other. Besides the policy of resisting the enemy with strong walls and clear fields, what else does this guy have in mind?Sneak attack?Harassment?Internal response?Outside of Ducheng, there are mostly plains and wilderness. The place where the Xiliang camp is camped is [-] miles away from the nearest mountain range. It is impossible to expect reinforcements to come out without being discovered. Then, there are only the first three possibilities.

Between the six countries, there has been constant infiltration. There is me in you, and you in me. The strategies I use are also used secretly by you. This is a normal thing, and it depends on which side uses it better.

Looking at each other with Qin Changge, the two of them have already completed the discussion with their eyes.

"Shoot now?"

"Not suitable, too strict precautions."

"Bring him face to face?"

"it is good."

Yu Zixi's drooping eyelashes revealed a playful smile, and outside the gauze screen, Mrs. Ninth clapped her hands three times, qin, zither, xiao, flute, konghou, sheng... and even Gaochang Jiegu, playing eight tones in unison for a while, silk and bamboo melodious.

The song "Bi Yunxiao" starts flat, gradually rises and rises, like walking on a blue cloud, rising step by step until it reaches the sky above the sky, looking down at the smallness of all beings, and smiling at the clouds.

The artistic conception of the piece is broad, and it hides the heart of dragon and phoenix dance. It is impossible to see that Mrs. Nine, a girl in her twenties, can compose such a score. No wonder Li Denglong loves it so much. She invites well-known actors from all over the city.

However, such a standard is naturally admired by ordinary people, but in the eyes of Yu Zixi, the number one melody genius in Xiliang and a well-known melody master all over the world, it is simply not worth it.

The slender fingers flicked on the score... Tsk tsk, this note is too high... this note is too fast... There should be a turning point here... Here...

"Bi Yunxiao" is dominated by majestic and majestic melodies, with qin and drum instruments as the main instrument, while Yu Zixi's pipa is relatively leisurely, with only three bars of interludes, which can easily be overwhelmed by the main vocal.

Someone looked at Yu Zixi with sneering eyes during the interval of playing—it is in vain that you spend so much time dressing up, but you are only assigned to mere three bars, extremely short transitional playing, and the embellishment is fleeting. If you try your best, where is your chance to stand out?
Smiling loosely and contemptuously, Yu Zixi raised her hand.
