Chapter 9: Ten-sided ambush

"nothing."

Lin Lan shook his head slightly and asked again: "How long has Yan Sanniang been to your house?"

Fan Qingyao knelt on the ground, lowered her head slightly, and then whispered: "Madam... I came to my house not long after my fifteenth birthday, and it has been more than three years."

Lin Lan could see that she also hated Yan Sanniang in her heart. After all, she was occupied by an outsider and even let the whole family be slaves and servants. How could she not hate her?

But when facing a demonic practitioner like Yan Sanniang, mortals naturally cannot resist.

Yan Sanniang has been in the county magistrate's palace for more than three years, and probably has accumulated great power. Even if she is not in front of her, the daughter of a daughter dare not say a word.

"I have been a maid for more than three years, and I guess you haven't had a good rest."

Lin Lan said casually: "I don't have anything to do here, so go and have a rest."

Fan Qingyao hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Young master, you'd better let me stay, otherwise she might blame me, and if you saved my family, Qingyao doesn't know how to repay you."

"Okay."

Lin Lan didn't care, "If you want to stay, stay and stand up first."

Fan Qingyao then stood up and asked, "Then... do you need Qingyao to do something?"

"It seems that there is nothing you need to do." Lin Lan thought for a while and asked, "What do you know?"

Fan Qingyao thought for a while and said, "I can pinch your shoulders and legs. Is it hot now? If it is hot, I can shake and fan you all day long. Well... It's almost frost falling recently, and I can warm your bed for you."

Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the gentle and weak lady of the official family. She was obviously a lady of a lady, but she had already recognized the life of a maid. It seemed that she had been used to bowing her head long ago.

He knew that this mentality would be inverted for a while, so he said, "No, don't you have anything else? A lady from a family should know about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Fan Qingyao was stunned, then lowered her head and said sadly: "I did it before, but I haven't touched these many times in the past few years."

"What do you like the most?" Lin Lan asked.

Fan Qingyao thought for a while and said, "I like both Qin and Pipa very much."

Lin Lan said oh and asked, "Can you still know now?"

"I'm afraid I'm much more unfamiliar." Fan Qingyao shook her head and said.

Lin Lan said: "Anyway, I'm idle, so you can play a few songs and listen to them."

"My piano hasn't been maintained for a long time, so I'm afraid the piano sound has changed." Fan Qingyao said: "It's easier to play the pipa. I'll play a few pipa songs for you?"

“Everything is OK.”

...

Half an hour later, Fan Qingyao knelt opposite Lin Lan, holding a five-stringed sandalwood pipa in her arms, gently plucking the ivory shaft. After trying the tone a few times, she looked up at Lin Lan and asked, "I wonder what song the young master wants to listen to?"

Lin Lan was just trying her time and didn't care what she played, so she said, "Just be good at it."

Fan Qingyao asked softly: "How is that young master feeling now?"

"Feeling?"

Lin Lan leaned on the chair lazily and said, "I'm in a bad mood. I'm a little bored, a little lonely, and a little confused. I may have to kill someone recently, but I feel that it's not enough to kill someone yet."

"Kill someone?" Fan Qingyao was slightly stunned, and then said, "Young Master, you are so clear about right and wrong. The person you want to kill should be a bad person, right?"

"Yes." Lin Lan nodded slightly, "It's just that the human heart. The more you see, the harder you will become. People and things that were unbearable in the past will gradually turn a blind eye to them."

"The young master has the intention to eliminate evil, which is a good thing."

Fan Qingyao held the pipa in his arms, thought for a moment, and then said softly: "I have a martial song in my family, which may be just in line with the young master's wishes, but I haven't played it for a long time. I may be a little unfamiliar. I hope the young master will forgive me."

Lin Lan nodded and said nothing.

Fan Qingyao thought about it for a while with her pipa in her arms, then lowered her head and closed her eyes, gently stroked the strings of the piano with her fingertips, and began to tick and play.

I heard the sound of the prelude and the increasingly anxious wheels of the wheels, and the sound of the piano was as soon as it was completed, the intention of golden swords and iron horses came. The first sound was snatching people, and the intention of killing arises, gradually becoming excited and exciting, just like the sound of drums before the battle.

Lin Lan was originally lazy and leaned on the chair, half-squinted her eyes, ready to enjoy the performance of the ancients, but when she heard the prelude to the pipa song, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"This is……"

He watched Fan Qingyao playing the song with his eyebrows lowered and his head down. He listened carefully and became more and more surprised and could not help but slowly recall the memories of this life.

After awakening from memory in the previous life, it seems like I have experienced a previous life again, but the memories of this life have become much more blurred and far away.

At this moment, he gradually recalled a lot of things in the familiar song.

The memories of the past and this life are also reflected one by one.

After a while, the song ended abruptly.

Fan Qingyao opened her eyes awkwardly and said apologetically: "Young Master, I'm sorry, I haven't played this song for a long time, and I've forgotten the later score."

Lin Lan was silent for a moment, but said, "The next one should be...the worker, six worker, five and six worker, ruler, B, ruler, and four, combined."

Fan Qingyao was stunned, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "That's true. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have learned this song as well?"

It is normal to understand music scores. For those who love music, this is a basic skill, but this song has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is relatively rare to know that this ancient score is.

Lin Lan did not answer, but asked, "What is this song called?"

"Don't you know?" Fan Qingyao glanced at Lin Lan with a strange look and said, "This famous song is naturally 'Ambushes on Ten Thousands'."

"really……"

Lin Lan murmured and asked again: "Who is the person who composed the music?"

"The person who composed the music," said Fan Qingyao: "This song is an ancient song from more than 800 years ago. Some are said to be composed by Tang Tianyuan, the first national teacher of our Dayu, and some are said to be composed by the third disciple of the national teacher, the music master, the qin saint 'Xiao Xuanxin'."

She paused, "But the most popular thing is that before the National Master led his army to fight against the Southern Qi in the Yuanshui battle, he played this song casually in front of the formation with the will of wine. He was recorded by Qin Sheng, and then this song was produced that has been famous for the ages."

"National Master, Tang Tianyuan..." Lin Lan silently recited this name.

This life experience, which was suppressed by the memory of the previous life, seemed to have erased the sealed dust and gradually became clear.

He also remembered the history of the country of "Dayu" and the records of the first national teacher of Dayu, "Tang Tianyuan", in history books.

Eight hundred years ago, when the world was in chaos, Tang Tianyuan emerged and helped Emperor Taizu of Yu to unify the world. He became the national teacher of Dayu with the merit of dragon. He was the only king in Dayu history. During his lifetime, he implemented unified characters, land reform, and destroyed mountains and temples... various policies and systems made the national strength of Dayu more and more powerful. He died of illness in the 12th year of Shenwu at the age of 71.

The world will be divided after a long period of harmony. Dayu experienced many turbulences. Eight hundred years later, the territory has long been divided and can only barely protect itself. However, the reputation of this great master is still spread throughout the world.

National teacher, imperial teacher, king of different surnames, poet saints, craftsman gods, literary masters, music masters, founders of Tianyuan Mathematics, founders of Renzong... There are countless titles, and the works left behind are outrageous.

He even invented mahjong, mosquito coils, chicken essence, gunpowder, etc.

"There were actually time travelers before me..."

"Tsk...the protagonist of the cool article..."

Lin Lan just put it in a little bit and felt a little relieved, so he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

No wonder the climate is a little hotter than eight hundred years ago. I guess it was because of this time traveler's ancestor who was pretending all day long, causing the ancients who 800 years ago to suck in cold air every day, forming a greenhouse effect...

"Young Master Lin, what's wrong?" Fan Qingyao said in confusion.

Lin Lan was speechless for a while and shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just think this first-generation national master is very...awesome."

That's right. He has forgotten many poems, novels, knowledge inventions, and so on. However, this time traveler ancestor knew a lot. Even if it was placed on the earth, he was at least a little bit of Zhihu expert.

"Of course, the first generation of the National Master is an unprecedented genius and the pride of our Dayu."

Fan Qingyao nodded in agreement and sighed, "It's a pity that my father saw that I had musical talent and qualifications to practice. He also said that when I grew up, I would send me to the Chonghua Academy in the imperial capital Chonghua. If I was admitted to the Chonghua Academy, I might still have hope of joining the Renzong founded by the first generation of the National Master, but..."

She didn't say anything, but Lin Lan knew what she wanted to say. Since Yan Sanniang was here, she would naturally not allow her to leave.
