It was already noon when Dugu Baitian woke up. He had slept very soundly. The clerk in the store had come several times and saw that he was sleeping so soundly. He couldn't bear to disturb him, so he had to put down the toiletries for him and quietly left.
Got out.
After getting up, Dugu Baitian first rinsed his mouth and then wiped his face. Suddenly he felt something was wrong, and then he remembered that he was wearing a mask. He quickly took off the mask, washed his face carefully, and then put it on carefully again.
It. This mask is now his amulet. If he walked out like this without it, an impulsive martial arts master might have jumped out of nowhere and killed him.
Everything last night seemed like a dream. Was it really a dream? The answer obviously denied that everything yesterday was real. Dugu Baitian walked out of the house and took a deep breath of "fresh" air. In fact, it was already stale. It was already noon.
He walked to the front hall and passed by Xuanxuan's house. He used his energy and listened carefully to the even breathing coming from inside. This little girl is so lazy that she hasn't gotten up yet. I originally wanted to ask her to go to dinner together, but now
I had to give up the idea.
Dugu Baitian went straight to the hall and chose an unoccupied table to sit down. Although it was already dinner time, strangely there were not many people in the hall. He ordered a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns and ordered a few more
A side dish that combines meat and vegetables. I wanted to have another bottle of wine, but I thought it would be boring to drink alone, so I gave up.
Just then there was a commotion on the street outside.
"Miss Liu will be here soon."
"Really?"
"We want to see Miss Ruyan."
…
…
…
"No, we are responsible for Miss Ruyan's safety and we will never allow anyone to see her."
"We'll just take a look."
…
…
…
Then there was another burst of noise.
Dugu Baitian secretly wondered what happened to the so-called Ruyan girl. With doubts, he called the waiter over. He was about to call the waiter but felt that it was not polite, so he said: "What happened to this big brother outside?"
What's making all the noise?"
When the waiter heard Dugu Baitian calling his elder brother, his eyes looked strange, but he still patiently explained to him.
"Sir, you are really lucky that Miss Liu Ruyan passed by here today, maybe you can feast your eyes on it. Those people outside are waiting on Miss Ruyan's only way to get a glimpse of her beauty."
Dugu Baitian said: "Who is Liu Ruyan?"
The waiter's eyes were wide open and he said in disbelief: "Sir, are you kidding me? You haven't heard of Liu Ruyan, the famous 'singer and dancer' of our Qingfeng Empire?"
"I'm not from the Qingfeng Empire."
"Oh, that's it. It's no wonder that although Miss Ruyan is well-known in the Qingfeng Empire, for some reason she rarely accepts invitations from other countries to perform. But this time you came to our Qingfeng Empire, it is really a worthwhile trip. I will tell you
Speaking of Miss Ruyan..."
Dugu Baitian listened to the waiter's "nagging" while eating.
"Miss Ruyan is as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth..."
"Oh, so it's so beautiful." Dugu Baitian responded nonchalantly.
The second waiter in the shop seemed to have opened up his chat box and kept talking.
"Sir, do you know why she is called Singing and Dancing Double Jue? It is to praise her singing and dancing skills, which are unparalleled and absolutely unparalleled in our Qingfeng Empire."
Dugu Baitian said: "I thought her singing and dancing were unparalleled in the world."
The waiter said: "I know you may not believe it, but Miss Ruyan's singing and dancing skills are truly unparalleled. If you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears, you will definitely believe it."
"Have you seen it with your own eyes or heard it with your own ears?"
"No, but my cousin's uncle's niece's husband's aunt's sister-in-law's son has seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears. It is said that Miss Ruyan's singing is simply... isn't there a saying, "This song should only be
There is a world in heaven..."
"This song should only be heard a few times in heaven and on earth."
"Yes, that's right. Although it seems to be describing the music, it is not an exaggeration to describe her singing. Her singing is so beautiful, more beautiful than the lark on the tree... Her dancing skills are even more...
Superb'..."
Dugu Baitian looked at the excited waiter and couldn't help but feel amused that a woman he had never met before could make him so intoxicated. At the same time, he also became a little curious about this Liu Ruyan.
Seeing the smile on Dugu Baitian's lips, the waiter said: "Sir, please don't believe that what I said is true. Have you heard the noise of those people outside? Most of them have seen such
This time Miss Yan’s performance was informed that she would be passing by from now on, so I waited all morning at this must-see place.”
"Oh? Have they ever seen that Liu Ruyan's performance?"
"Yes, Miss Liu is really a very good person. Last year, there was a drought in many parts of the empire. In order to help the disaster areas, she went around asking big business groups to donate money and went to charity performances in major cities to raise funds. At that time, she came to
We went to the Beacon City Benefit Performance not too far from our place. Many people in our small town went to see it. Unfortunately, I had something to do and couldn't leave at that time." He said with a look of regret on his face.
Dugu Baitian smiled and said, "Don't you have a chance to see her today?"
The waiter said: "It's not easy. There are many guards outside to protect her safety and not let anyone get close to her."
With joy and curiosity, Dugu Baitian finally finished his lunch and wiped his mouth. Suddenly he touched the beard all over his face and then remembered that he was now playing the role of a thirty-seven or eight-year-old strong man.
Only then did I understand why he had a weird look on his face when he called the waiter in the store his eldest brother. It was indeed strange for a thirty-seven or eight-year-old man to call a young man in his early twenties his elder brother. Fortunately, he was not a gangster.
people.
When Dugu Baitian came outside the inn, he saw a huge crowd of people on the street, completely blocking the traffic. Even the houses on both sides of the street were full of people. A group of soldiers were almost overwhelmed by the people in the city. The charm of Liu Ruyan was really incredible.
Little Dugu Baitian couldn't help but hope that she would show up soon to see what this legendary woman was like.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Miss Liu is here."
The crowd immediately became commotion and loud. The soldiers rushed out of the crowd and separated from the common people. In the distance, they saw a carriage driving towards here. There were many more guards beside it than there were here.
The crowd began to crowd forward. The soldiers here quickly drew their swords and the archers bent their bows to nock arrows. However, the crowd showed no signs of retreating. The situation suddenly became tense and there was a high possibility of a fight between the two sides.
At this moment, a young general came galloping over on a fast horse.
When the young general was far away, he shouted: "Don't be impulsive, everyone. Miss Liu will be here soon. She will meet everyone, but please everyone to get out of the way and move to both sides, because Miss Liu has something urgent to rush to after meeting everyone."
Kaiyuan City."
The tense atmosphere immediately eased, and the crowd slowly moved to both sides of the road. The soldiers who were at war with each other suddenly let out a long breath.
The carriage finally approached and stopped in front of everyone.
The car curtain was slowly opened and a girl of fifteen or six years old jumped out of the car. She had a pair of big watery eyes, a cute little nose, and red lips with a naughty look. Dugu Baitian was a little disappointed.
Is she the famous "singer and dancer"? She is clearly a naughty little girl.
However, everyone still kept their eyes fixed on the car. At this moment, a twenty-one-year-old woman in purple stepped out of the car. She was very beautiful at the age of two. She had a tall figure, slim figure, picturesque eyebrows, and fair cheeks.
With her cute nose and red lips, she was indeed a stunning beauty who could compete with Situ Mingyue and the masked Xuanxuan she had just met.
There was silence all around, and everyone stared.
Dugu Baitian was also extremely shocked, but he recovered quickly. Although this beauty was very beautiful, she was still a little inferior to the most beautiful Li Shi. He had already seen Li Shi's peerless appearance, and of course he would not be like the others.
driven to distraction.
There is no doubt that this beauty is Liu Ruyan and the little girl just now must be her maid.
Liu Ruyan slowly said: "First of all, I want to thank everyone for being so kind to Ruyan. I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting here."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "It is our honor to see Miss Ruyan's beauty."
Liu Ruyan said: "There is a reason why I just passed through Tongzhou City this time and did not perform for everyone." After a pause, he continued: "Do you still remember the history of forty years ago? The Moon Worshiping Empire held hostage
An army of 500,000 invaded our country with iron heel, leaving no one behind who dared to resist. In less than a year, half of the great rivers and mountains of our Qingfeng Empire fell under the iron heel. The empire is in a bloody storm. Who is like a comet when the nation is in danger?
Who rises up and regroups and cleans up the remaining troops? Who defeated the enemy with only 150,000 troops and defeated 300,000 enemies? Who rose to the rank of enemy commander among thousands of troops and used invincible power to defeat the enemy troops and restore the great rivers and mountains of our Qingfeng Empire?——Yes?
I am General Li, the lord of the first city of the Qingfeng Empire."
"Long live General Li."
"Long live General Li."
Tremendous shouts resounded throughout the small town.
The glorious history can always inspire the patriotic enthusiasm of the people and make people feel a strong sense of national pride. The role of heroes is no less important than the glorious history of the country. The legends of heroes can make the blood of young people boil and strengthen their ideals; they can also make the elderly "
Martyrs are always full of ambition in their old age." The glory of the country is always associated with heroes. Both are the pride of the nation.
When the excited crowd calmed down, Liu Ruyan continued: "The war we won forty years ago was not easy. Countless good sons and daughters of the empire died. And our invincible commander, General Li, was also seriously injured forty forty years ago."
Over the past 40 years, the old general has been suffering from internal injuries. Who knew that the old general’s beloved wife died while covering the old general Li when he assassinated the enemy commander. In the past forty years, the old general has been suffering from physical injuries and mental injuries.
It was because he suffered from endless longing for his deceased wife. But just yesterday, the old general suddenly became critically ill. Do you all know what it was like when the old general was critically ill? The old general was lying on the hospital bed and murmured the songs that his beloved wife loved most during her lifetime.
." At this point, her voice couldn't help but choke. She stabilized her emotions and continued: "Today, the Holy Emperor learned that he sent someone on a fast horse to deliver the message and asked me to rush to Kaiyuan City overnight to sing softly for the old general."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help crying anymore and burst into tears.
"We are sorry for General Li that we delayed Miss Liu's time!"
"Oh... I wish the old general good health soon."
"We are sinners!"
…
…
…
The soldiers also cried because they had just learned the news.
Dugu Baitian was also filled with emotions.
General Li is definitely the pride of the country and the pride of the nation in people's minds. He is an out-and-out hero. There are always countless bitternesses hidden behind heroes. What outsiders see is just their tall image when they wear a halo.
Who would have thought that behind the glory there was such a tragic story.
It took a long time for everyone to calm down, but everyone looked sad.
Liu Ruyan said: "Today I can only sing a song for you and I will apologize to you another day."
Everyone shouted in unison: "No, we are sinners and we are sorry for delaying your time, General Li."
Liu Ruyan waved her hand and everyone's voices immediately fell silent.
A melodious and melancholy song floated:
"The rose that withers every day
The bright moon leaves, green, fresh and bright
Like a crazy queen in the birch forest...
I smiled slightly and she leaned over and kissed me.
And take my heart away and roll it in the blue sky!
Put a crown of stars on it and sway it in your arms
Guarding it on the clouds and reflecting its image on the water...
Place it among the rose bushes to imbue it with rose scent
Place it without emotion into the boundless emptiness!
Give it mild, transparent and golden color
When dawn brings it back to my bleeding chest
My heart is like a sad baby
As moist and fragrant as the sleepy stars..."
The carriage had already gone away, and everyone was still immersed in the singing, with tears streaming down their faces.
Dugu Baitian's eyes were also a little moist. Old General Li Lin's sad story made him feel sour in his heart. But Liu Ruyan's melancholy singing touched his inner feelings. Situ Mingyue's pretty face
It emerged from the depths of his heart again. He knew that this relationship had long since passed away, but he still couldn't forget the beautiful face of Yi Ren that always appeared in his heart. This was his eternal pain.
Wiping the corners of his eyes, he turned and walked towards the inn.
