Chapter 69: Enemies Meet Again

When Tang Shuo's figure appeared on the screen, there was an uproar in the venue.

Xiao Ran was also shocked by the situation and looked at Tang Shuo not far away with an expression of astonishment.

She had thought of this design in advance, and the main cameraman on the scene also pointed the camera at Tang Shuo's back according to the prior arrangement.

She didn't know why, but she hoped to see Tang Shuo make a splash at the concert.

But before it could even start to sing, it started to make a startling sound.

I guess there is no other accompaniment as unprofessional as this in all of China.

"Who is this guy? Is that a cell phone in his hand?" A fan in the audience squinted his eyes hard, trying to see clearly what the person on the screen was doing.

"It should be a cell phone. This guy is making a call!" a fat girl replied.

"How can he call at this hour?" a freckled girl said indignantly, "Doesn't he know he's at a concert?"

"Was it him who played the guqin just now?"

“…”

…………

Wang Tao, the music director in charge of Xiao Ran's concert, saw this and hurriedly picked up the intercom on the table and shouted, "Xiao Ran, what's going on?"

This can be considered a performance accident.

It can be expected that no matter how successful this concert is, the focus of media reports tomorrow will definitely be the fact that someone was making a phone call and chatting at Xiao Ran's concert.

But Xiao Ran had already said that he would play the guqin solo, so it would be inappropriate to cut it off temporarily.

Xiao Ran also came to his senses and hurried towards Tang Shuo.

Although she did not discuss this matter with Tang Shuo, it was actually no big deal. For Tang Shuo, it was just a performance.

But Tang Shuo actually quit his concert. Was that call really that important? Couldn't he have waited three or five minutes?

Xiao Ran had just run two steps when he saw Tang Shuo, who was not far away, hung up the phone with a heavy face, and then put his hands on the strings again.

When the first note sounded in the venue, the noisy discussions in the venue stopped.

Tang Shuo's hands then began to dance on the strings, and his expression became more and more solemn.

As the music played, everyone felt a chilling, murderous aura of spears and swords, and was drawn into the battle atmosphere expressed by the music.

Zhou Tong, who was originally depressed backstage because Tang Shuo had replaced his qualification, stood up instantly after hearing the song and stood there with a look of horror on his face.

He is the guqin player of Sheng Meng Fu Ge. He was supposed to perform on stage with everyone else in the evening, but he was suddenly informed that a guest would replace him in the evening.

Although he was dissatisfied, Wu Le had already agreed to this matter, and he was also getting paid, so he tacitly agreed.

He had heard Tang Shuo's recorded version of "Mi Bu You Chu" before, and after listening to it during the live rehearsal, he also thought that he was slightly inferior to Tang Shuo.

But when he listened to the song Tang Shuo was playing, he suddenly felt that he was completely not on the same level as Tang Shuo.

He was arguably the most accomplished guqin player in the entire venue, aside from Tang Shuo. He was also the only one who understood the magnitude of the impact this piece would have on the guqin world, and indeed, the classical music world. A wooden cross.

Although the song played by Tang Shuo was slightly different from the versions he had heard and known before, he still recognized that the song was "Guangling San".

This "Guangling San" has another name called "Nie Zheng Assassinating the King of Han", which was originally a piano piece telling the story of killing. However, the piano piece has long been lost. The versions currently on the market are all compiled by later generations based on the descriptions in some documents.

The version Tang Shuo plays now is a bit faster and more passionate than the version currently circulating.

Although he was not sure whether the version he was hearing now was the one played by Ji Kang back then, Zhou Tong was certain that this piece of music was more advanced than the one currently circulating.

…………

The last note of the Guangling San, a piece of music filled with dazzling splendour and swift swords and spears, fell, and suddenly with a bang, all seven strings snapped.

Tang Shuo nodded to Xiao Ran, then stood up and walked backstage.

Originally, it felt a bit inappropriate to play this piece at the concert. Although "Guangling San" is passionate and inspiring, it ends in tragedy, which inevitably makes it sound a bit sad.

But Tang Shuo was able to play this piece just now completely because he was inspired and just played it when he wanted to.

The call was from Vulture's friend.

The other party said that Vulture had called him the day before yesterday and told him that if he still had no news today, he should tell Tang Shuo to hide quickly!

Vulture himself could not be contacted now, so the other party called to convey Vulture's words.

Even with Vulture's ability, he couldn't find out the identity of that group of people, and even he himself was now unknown whether he was dead or alive. Tang Shuo was filled with resentment for a while.

It just so happened that Xiao Ran invited him to play a song, so Tang Shuo vented his emotions through the song and he also calmed down a little.

…………

After a while, the fans in the venue finally reacted, followed by an unprecedented cheer.

The voice was even a little louder than when Xiao Ran sang before.

"What was the song just now?" asked a fan holding a telescope.

"I don't know." The man next to him replied, "But I have decided to learn the guqin."

"What a cool song, who knows what it's called?"

"I think the guy playing the guqin is so handsome. Does anyone know who he is?" a crazy girl shouted. "I must marry him."

"I've decided not to learn piano anymore," said a man wearing glasses. "Tomorrow... oh no, tonight I'm going to buy a guqin and learn. I didn't realize it could be so cool."

“…”

Tang Shuo was not aware that because of his actions, guqins were out of stock all over China, and some guqin training institutions became extremely popular overnight.

Several of them knew the whole story and started looking for Tang Shuo directly, wanting him to become the image spokesperson for their organization.

…………

Most people at the scene didn't know the person playing the piano, but Li Yihe, who was sitting in the front row, recognized Tang Shuo's back at a glance.

The first time she experienced the feeling of losing had a profound impact on her, so she had a very deep impression of Tang Shuo.

After the last car race, she had some things to do at school and had no time, so she didn't look for Tang Shuo for the time being.

She has always been a fan of Xiao Ran, so she naturally would not miss Xiao Ran's concert. However, she did not expect to meet Tang Shuo when she came to watch Xiao Ran's concert in the evening.

Isn’t it true that enemies often meet again?

Li Yihe turned to the people around him and said, "Shall we go find the person who plays the piano?"

"Okay." A very sweet girl sitting next to Li Yihe agreed: "Let's go and take a look."

"Hmm?" a man who clearly had no interest in Tang Shuo said, "Why are you looking for him? He just plays the piano, right? We can ask about his identity someday and then arrange a meeting to get him here. Now that the concert is over, let's go have a drink."

"Let's go and take a look." A tall woman said, "I'm curious if he's handsome."

Li Yihe immediately stood up and walked towards the backstage with a group of playboys.

The restricted backstage area was naturally no obstacle for this group of people. A fat man went up and simply nodded to the captain in charge of the concert security, and he was immediately let in.

…………

Tang Shuo returned to the lounge, sat on the sofa and carefully analyzed the identities of the group of people who had attacked him before.

He had thought about this problem many times before, but he had too many enemies, so he had no idea for the time being.

But now even the vultures have been dealt with by the other side, so only a few larger forces have a chance.

While he was thinking, the door of the lounge was pushed open and Li Yihe walked in with a group of people.

A ruffian-looking man looked at Tang Shuo and said arrogantly, "Are you the one who played the guqin on the stage just now?"

Tang Shuo frowned and looked at Li Yihe, who was smiling in the crowd, without saying a word.

"Is it you?" The ruffian man urged when he saw that Tang Shuo did not respond.

The sweet girl following Li Yihe thought Tang Shuo was frightened, so she walked up to him and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions."

Tang Shuo sighed and said to Li Yihe, "If you don't want to embarrass me, let them go. I'm not in a good mood today."
