"Well, this princess agrees!"
"Good! Time is limited, so let's start rehearsing now. Fortunately, you will be performing alone, so you can improvise freely. However, you still need to familiarize yourself with the choreography first."
"Princess, go and prepare first. I'll go call Murong Ce."
Qin Qingyao left in a hurry. Ling Anli twitched his lips as he looked at her back. Why did this woman speak as if Murong Ce was her little follower? Can you just call him over whenever she wants?
She actually called over.
Moreover, when Qin Qingyao pulled Murong Ce to the backstage, Ling Anli was still standing there without moving.
"Princess Anli, why don't you go and prepare?"
When Ling Anli saw Murong Ce really coming over, her face turned red and she hurried to find her sword.
Murong Ce felt like he was being cheated. "You want me to accompany Princess Anli?"
Qin Qingyao blinked. "How is it? Are you surprised? Are you thrilled? Do you feel particularly honored?"
Murong Ce: “…”
He didn't feel particularly honored, he just wanted to rip Qin Qingyao's head off!
It turned out that what she meant by "accompaniment for her" was accompaniment for her evening party, not for her personally.
Murong Ce was not the type of person who liked to join in the fun, and he really wanted to quit at this moment, but looking at Qin Qingyao's pair of excited starry eyes, he really couldn't bear to let her down.
Fortunately, he didn't give up and leave.
After Ling Anli brought the sword, Qin Qingyao took them both to a small courtyard, and then performed an impromptu dance for Princess Anli.
She sang and danced by herself, with a confident smile on her little face. When it comes to dancing, she is a professional!
“Your Majesty wishes to defend the land and expand the frontiers, your blood is still hot, your ambitions are everywhere;
I will clean your spear and put on your armor for you;
Don't laugh at the drunken battlefield, look at the nine provinces, the smoke of war is rising;
I sing a war song to send you off..."
"I heard that snowflakes have begun to bloom outside the Great Wall and blow all night, making travel difficult.
I weave a piece of bright moonlight, willing to serve you as a guide;
I heard you were riding on a horse, spear in hand, chasing the Rong and Di tribes. I'll have a cup of wine.
I will bury the toast wine shallowly, waiting for you to get drunk together..."
"Now my voice has become hoarse, it is hard for me to sing loudly to welcome you back;
I stood on the tower and counted the soldiers: three hundred thousand;
Suddenly I saw you riding a horse, holding a spear, wearing old clothes, but with white hair;
I will fill the toast with wine and ask: How are you?"
Qin Qingyao finally posed in a pose with her kneeling on one knee and pointing her sword to the sky. She hadn't danced for a long time, and now she was singing and dancing, and she couldn't catch her breath for a long time.
"good!"
Murong Ce was the first to come back to his senses. The crisp applause brought Ling Anli back to her senses. If she didn't come back to her senses, she would have bitten her lower lip.
This song of Qin Qingyao's was actually related to soldiers going to war. It was so appealing to the people's tastes that it was no wonder she could seduce the cold King Wu Ling!
Qin Qingyao chuckled at the flattering Wang Murong Ce, then sheathed her sword and handed it to Ling Anli. "My princess, what do you think of this song? If you don't mind, why not dance to it?"
Ling Anli was stunned for a moment, "You mean, you want me to dance to this song?"
Are you really willing to do that?
Qin Qingyao thought that Princess Anli was dissatisfied. "Of course, if Princess you have other suitable choices, I have no objection. I just think the artistic conception of this song is very good."
Moreover, there will be many soldiers coming to watch the show, including officials in the court and retired veterans. If the princess dances to this tune, it will be so easy to win people's favor and resonate with them!
It will definitely be very popular then, and maybe even surpass the heroine by accident!
Ling Anli was afraid that Qin Qingyao would notice, so he quickly said, "No, I don't have any other songs. I also think your song is very good. Thank you, Princess!"
Qin Qingyao threw a fierce look at him, "Why are you being polite?"
Her party has added another eye-catching program, Oh yeah!
Princess Anli knew some basic sword skills, but she was not very good at dancing, so Qin Qingyao had to teach her step by step.
Fortunately, she has a delicate body and a strong sense of balance. In addition, she has a background in martial arts, so when she dances with the sword, each move is more realistic than Qin Qingyao's.
Murong Ce did not mention quitting and left. Under Qin Qingyao's guidance, he practiced playing the flute over and over again to accompany Princess Anli.
For three consecutive days, the three of them sweated in the small courtyard, and even Dugu Yu didn't know what Qin Qingyao was doing.
On the night of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, they rehearsed until almost curfew and didn't even go home for dinner.
Dugu Yu was also very busy today. He stayed at the Ministry of War until dark before returning home. After returning home, he did not see Qin Qingyao and his face was darker than the night.
…
Apart from the people in Prince Wuling's Mansion, no one knew that Qin Qingyao actually had a big move up her sleeve.
She also personally choreographed a nearly twenty-minute stage play.
It is also a military theme, and its prototype is the predecessor of the Yanling Army.
But at that time, the Yanling Army did not belong to Dugu Yu, but to the Yang family.
The story told is also the well-known Battle of Changting Pass told by the storyteller in War of Swords and Swords.
At that time, the old lady's husband, General Yang, was still alive, and her youngest son, Yang Xijie, was a military officer in the Yanling Army.
Zhaoling and the Nanyue Kingdom fought for several years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties and their hatred running deeper than the sea.
At that time, they were fighting in the southernmost part of Zhaoling State, and a batch of food and medicine sent by the court had to be urgently delivered to the battlefield.
No one knew how Nan Yue's men got the news, but the grain delivery team was intercepted and killed on the way.
Following the orders of General Yang, Yang Xijie led two thousand Yanling soldiers to meet the grain delivery team.
When they arrived at Changting Pass, they encountered 10,000 Nan Yue troops who were preparing to ambush there.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
When the grain delivery team arrived at Changting Pass, they saw only corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
None of the two thousand Yanling soldiers and ten thousand Nanyue soldiers survived.
There were countless wounds on Yang Xijie's body, and three spears were stuck in his chest.
He was leaning against the trunk of a big tree, holding his sword in his hand, his eyes wide open, staring ahead.
When Zhao Ling's grain transport team found him and came to rescue him, they discovered that although he was standing, he had already died.
The grain transport team was able to reach the battlefield smoothly, and that batch of food and medicine also ensured Zhao Ling's combat effectiveness.
However, Yang Xijie and the two thousand soldiers of the Yanling Army stayed in Changting Pass forever.
Qin Qingyao selected some servants from the Wuling Palace and found a few veterans in the War of Resistance, and asked them to rehearse secretly in the palace, so that they could make a big splash when the time comes.
The script was written by her and the old soldier who told the story in "Golden Swords and Iron Horses". It is said that he was one of the soldiers who transported the food and saw the body of Yang Junhou with his own eyes.
…
Qin Qingyao basically used everyone around her who could be used, so she didn't even have a little maid to follow and serve her.
By the time Murong Ce was finally able to play the complete song "Wen Zhan" and Princess Anli was finally able to finish the entire dance.
The three of them suddenly realized that curfew was about to begin.
Princess Anli attended the party without telling her family. They thought she went to the Lin family to play with Lin Xiafeng.
Similarly, the Lin family also thought that when Lin Xiafeng came out for rehearsal, he went to see Princess Anli.
So, it was so late, and no one came to take Princess Anli home.
Qin Qingyao was thinking about Dugu Yu and wondered if he was waiting for her to eat. It was so late today and he didn't come to catch her. Was he really angry this time?
So after the rehearsal, there was no time to pack up the props, and they ran home. Before leaving, they said, "Great Military Advisor, Princess Anli is now in your care. You must send her back safely!"
Murong Ce looked at Qin Qingyao's running back and felt very unhappy. Was she really stupid or was she deliberately making trouble for him?
He was asked to send a woman with such a special identity home in the middle of the night. What if someone saw him? How would he explain it?
But if he didn't send her off, and something happened to Princess Anli on the way home, that would be even more serious.
Recently everyone is saying that there’s a psychopath in Yulin City who specializes in killing young girls!
Therefore, Murong Ce had no choice but to follow Qin Qingyao's arrangement and send Princess Anli home.
Along the way, the two of them walked one in front and the other behind with absolutely no communication.
Princess Anli initially thought that Murong Ce was aloof and difficult to approach. After all, he didn't even listen to the emperor.
But after spending these few days together, I found that he was quite approachable. He was always talking and laughing with Qin Qingyao, and he didn't get impatient even when he played the flute so many times.
But when Qin Qingyao was not present, Princess Anli realized that she was too scared to even take the initiative to speak to Mo Rongce.
Murong Ce was worried about Qin Qingyao, so he walked quickly and sent her to the gate of Prince Yi's mansion. He hurriedly said, "We have arrived at the palace. I'll take my leave!"
Then he turned and left.
Princess Anli didn't even have time to say thank you.
Murong Ce ran all the way to the Wuling Palace. He didn't see Qin Qingyao, but he saw Dugu Yu, who came out of the palace with a face as dark as ink, looking for someone.
"Your Majesty!"
"Where's Qin Qingyao?"
Murong Ce frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling in his heart, "Didn't Your Majesty see the Princess on the way here?"
"nonsense!"
The two men looked at each other and their hearts rose to their throats. It was freezing cold in the middle of the night. Where could Qin Qingyao, a little girl, run to if she didn't go home?
The two looked at the empty street, not knowing which direction to look for it, when they heard a loud bang, followed by a man shouting for mercy in panic.
The two of them ran towards the direction of the sound at the same time, only to see a night watchman sitting on the ground, terrified and pissing his pants.
"What do you see?"
"Help... Help! The murderer is coming..."
Murong Ce, "What kind of murderer? What does he look like?"
Dugu Yu, "Did you see a woman?"
The night watchman nodded frantically, "Yes... a girl was kidnapped by a murderer!"
