The eighty-fifth chapter of the sound of the east and the west
After listening silently for a while, Qian Liansheng felt that there was an unspeakable emotion in the sound of the piano, and murmured, "Who is playing the piano?"
Being able to ask this question proves that he heard that he is not an ordinary actor and piano player.
In the pavilion on the pile of rocks, Guan Fangyi lit the lone lamp in the pavilion and hung it up. Under the light, Niu Youdao was seen sitting peacefully playing the piano.
Niu Youdao did not do it deliberately, but he saw the piano on the piano table and did it casually.
Listening to the music of the piano, Guan Fangyi was thoughtful and secretly alert to her surroundings.
After following Niu Youdao for so long, this was the second time she saw Niu Youdao playing the piano. The melody composed by him was so quiet that it was inexplicable.
Under the solitary lamp, Wu Zhaoxing and Guan Fangyi stood left and right.
During this period, Wu Laoer came to Qian Liansheng's room to visit again.
The people here were really impatient to wait. When Qian Liansheng saw him, he asked: "Where is Master Dao?"
Wu Laoer made a gesture to let him speak softly and said: "Master Tao is currently receiving guests, and people from the court are watching. After everything has been settled, they will naturally come to see you."
It wasn't just here that was waiting impatiently. Guan Fangyi in the Qintai pavilion gradually became impatient and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you really know how to do it tonight?"
Niu Youdao smiled slightly, did not answer, and continued to play the piano.
He wasn't completely sure at first, but after seeing Gao Jicheng's warning message, he became sure.
He knew very well that in a place like the capital, Gao Jiancheng's high position was not just a decoration. Gao Jiancheng's ability to detect and judge was unparalleled. If people didn't even have this ability to detect the slightest sign of trouble, how could they survive the inevitable strife in the court?
After climbing to this position, since Gao Jianchengdu said it was dangerous, something would definitely happen.
…
Gao Mansion, the center of the inner palace, was completely dark. Gao Jicheng, who was sitting upright behind the desk, seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, his whole body immersed in darkness.
Fan Zhuan entered and whispered: "There is no movement yet."
Gao Jiancheng: "Where is Tong Mansion?"
Fan Zhuan: "It's very quiet, no clues."
Gao Jiancheng said slowly: "If you don't see any clues, there are just clues."
"Yes!" Fan Zhuan responded.
Gao Jiancheng added: "If there is any big movement, it must be supported by the person in the palace. Once there is a change, immediately mobilize my government staff to prevent Tong Mo from taking advantage of the chaos and bringing this side with him."
Fan Zhuan looked serious and understood what he meant. After Tong Mo got the support of the palace, no matter what he did, the palace would not be able to get to the bottom of it. Tong Mo might just keep doing it and take advantage of it.
A rare opportunity to go to war to eradicate dissidents!
Although this possibility is unlikely, my concerns are not unreasonable, and we must take precautions before they happen.
…
In Tong Mansion, in the study room of the inner house, after taking a bath, Tong Mo put on his coat with long sleeves and disheveled hair. He held a pen in one hand and a sleeve in the other, swiping ink and writing one after another.
The butler Tong Mingji walked in and looked at the messy ink-stained papers thrown on the ground. His steps were like trying to find holes and he didn't dare to step on them. He came to the case and reminded: "Master, it's almost done."
Tong Mo kept waving his hands, "Niu Youdao cannot be underestimated for being able to walk through strong winds and waves! There is no chance of anything going wrong in this matter. Once you make a move, there will be no turning back. Is the situation confirmed? I want to
It’s foolproof!”
Tong Ming: "There is no mistake! We have decided on the house where Niu Youdao will stay, and we have checked it carefully. Before Niu Youdao arrived, people were deployed around the house to keep an eye on it. It can be confirmed that those who entered were the ones who entered.
With manpower, no matter how many more people come in, they won’t be able to escape our eyes. His defense capabilities are limited!”
Tong Mo: "Are you sure he is still in the house?"
Tong Ming: "It's absolutely true. The servants in the house are all our spies who arranged to go there in advance. There is news that Niu Youdao is playing the piano in the pavilion of the house."
"Fuqin?" Tong Mo paused his writing and frowned.
Tong Ming: "You can't go wrong by staring at him in public. He is quite elegant. He probably thought that he was protected by people sent by the three major sects. He didn't think anyone would dare to do anything to the people of the three major sects."
Tong Mo moved the pen in his hand again and quickly finished writing a page. He seemed to have made a final decision quickly. He waved the piece of paper he had finished writing and threw it away, letting it fall to the ground.
It fell onto the white paper again.
The pen moves like a dragon and snake, the handwriting is powerful and powerful, the whole person is in a state of swiping and splashing ink as if he is crazy, and a dull sound comes from his throat and eyes, "Do it!"
…
The palace is brightly lit.
Niu Youdao was playing the harp, and there was also someone in the harem playing the harp, but it was a woman, Shang Jianxiong's beloved concubine A Que.
Shang Jianxiong wanted to hear her play the piano on a whim, and Aque naturally obeyed.
Only when he occasionally raised his eyes, Ah Que clearly noticed that Shang Jianxiong was obviously a little absent-minded. His mind did not seem to be on the sound of the piano from beginning to end. The so-called listening to her playing the piano was just an excuse.
The beauty under the light of the lamp pressed the strings with her ten fingers, and the sound suddenly stopped, but Shang Jianxiong did not notice it.
After a while, Shang Jianxiong suddenly woke up and saw Ah Que staring at him with bright eyes and smiling: "It sounds good, why don't you play it anymore?"
Ah Que glanced at the guards coming and going outside the door and said, "Tonight, there seem to be a lot more guards outside."
Shang Jianxiong stood up and walked over, walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, "A nasty guy came to the capital today, just be prepared."
Ah Que: "I heard it was Niu Youdao who won first place in Tiandu Secret Realm."
Shang Jianxiong: "Oh, do you still care about this person?"
Ah Que wanted to say that he had heard about it when he was in the Song Dynasty, but after all, he did not mention the past of his homeland again, and replied softly: "I am just a little scared. Once something goes wrong in the palace, it will often be a bloody storm!"
When she said this, she looked at the hand on her shoulder. Shang Jianxiong's hand touching her shoulder was obviously stiff.
"Don't worry too much, nothing will happen." Shang Jianxiong forced a smile.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound outside, followed by the sound of fierce fighting, and a group of shouts of killing instantly broke the tranquility of the deep palace.
The chief steward, Tian Yu, rushed in from outside and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs in the palace made trouble and opened the palace door, attracting the thieves!"
Ah Que stood up in shock and turned around: "Your Majesty!"
Shang Jianxiong remained calm, stretched out his hand to touch her soft cheek, and said calmly: "I'll be fine if you do this again!"
A group of masked men in black entered the palace.
Arrows rained like rain, the palace guards resisted desperately, and the guardian monks appeared one after another to intercept.
There was a sudden change in the palace. Xi Yao, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, Shen Chun, the elder of Zijin Cave, and Luo Mingjian, the elder of Lingjian Mountain, all jumped out immediately in shock.
"Could it be Niu Youdao?" Shen Chun, who was standing on the roof and looking out, asked in surprise.
If nothing happens sooner or later, someone will attack the palace at night when Niu Youdao comes. In addition, Niu Youdao and Shang Jianxiong's grudges make it difficult not to suspect Niu Youdao.
Soon, the guarding disciples of the three major sects rushed to defend the enemy...
There was a rumbling sound. Gao Jiancheng, who was immersed in the darkness, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice, "The direction is wrong, what's going on?"
Butler Fan Zhuan had already run in and reported urgently: "Sir, something bad is going on. There are sounds of fighting coming from the direction of the palace. It seems that someone is forcibly attacking the palace!"
"Imperial palace?" Gao Jiancheng was surprised and doubtful, his eyes flashed rapidly for a while, and he suddenly stood up, "No! He is attacking in the east and west, he is going to attack Niu Youdao."
…
In the pavilion, the music of the piano suddenly stopped. Niu Youdao pressed the strings with his ten fingers and turned his head to look in the direction where the sound of fierce fighting was faintly coming from.
"It seems to be in the direction of the palace." Wu Zhaoxing frowned and muttered.
There was a tinkling clang! There was a harsh and crisp sound, and all the strings were broken by Niu Youdao's ten fingers.
Wu Zhaoxing and Guan Fangyi looked at him, wondering what he meant.
"Humph!" Niu Youdao sneered, "They are all ruthless people! They really spent a lot of money to deal with me. It seems that the people from the three major sects will not be able to come to the rescue in time."
Guan and Wu were shocked and understood the meaning of his words. The movement in the palace should be to hold back the hands of the three major sects.
Niu Youdao flicked out a strong wind with his fingers, extinguished the lantern, grabbed the sword lying aside, stood up and left, "The enemy has given the signal to take action, let's go!"
The three people quickly got down from the piled rock pavilion and turned directly into the rockery below without going anywhere else.
A tunnel entrance suddenly appeared on the ground at the corner of the rockery. Niu Youdao and the others quickly ducked in, and Yun Ji was waiting for them inside.
But when Yun Ji pressed her hand against the wall of the tunnel, the soil at the entrance of the tunnel immediately surged, sealing the entrance of the tunnel as if it were healing naturally.
Several people continued to sink, and the soil above them continued to merge and block the layers. The soil under their feet continued to surge up, blocking the top from all sides of the small space.
While sinking all the way, Yun Ji said in a deep voice: "It's very dangerous for you to do this!"
Niu Youdao understood what she meant. Yunji reminded him from the beginning that if he could escape, Yunji would be fine on her own. She couldn't lead people to escape quickly. At most, she could only remain the same as before. If there was any change, the enemy would attack immediately.
When they came to attack, the escape speed of the few people could not resist the speed of the monks blasting away the ground.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub. The monks of the three major sects are not decorations. If they block it, nothing will happen." Niu Youdao smiled slightly and listened to the movement on the ground. At the same time, he asked again: "Is the tunnel blocked?
?Have Wu Laoer and the others evacuated?"
Yun Ji: "Everything is fine."
…
"who?"
The monks from the three major sects who were guarding the house where Niu Youdao stayed were still facing the direction of the palace in surprise when they suddenly noticed something unusual and immediately shouted.
A group of masked men suddenly burst out of the darkness without replying, and headed straight towards the pavilion on the rockery.
"Bold!" The monks from the three major sects could not allow the assassin to run rampant, and they all stepped out to intercept him.
The two sides fought fiercely in an instant, and the disciples of the three major sects soon discovered that there were not just a few people coming, but perhaps thousands of people!
Someone said in a deep voice in the darkness: "Don't let anyone go, kill him without leaving him alive!"
Obviously, he didn't want any accidents to happen and was afraid that Niu Youdao would run away. After all, not everyone knew Niu Youdao.
…
"The sound of the piano has stopped." Someone in the room muttered.
Then the sound of a fierce fight came, and Qian Liansheng's expression changed, "Go out and take a look."
As soon as several people rushed out of the house, a group of men in black rushed to kill them. The guards rushed to protect Qian Liansheng.
When Qian Liansheng panicked, he discovered that they were not the only ones being besieged. The envoys of Jin, Wei, Qi, Zhao, and Han were all nearby and were also besieged in this house. To be precise, they were in the same house.
In the same courtyard, they just didn't know each other's existence before.
