After the storyteller left, a father and daughter came up. One played the erhu and the other played the pipa, and they played a powerful piece of music together.
The sound was so powerful that it sounded like a war drum on the battlefield, inspiring the soldiers to advance bravely.
It is also like a general's order, commanding thousands of troops to charge into battle. Every melody is like a sharp sword, piercing the void and shocking people.
There is also a tragic and heroic atmosphere in it, as if it is the cry of soldiers on the brink of life and death, and the determination of a hero to cut off his own arm.
For a moment, Jiang Yueyang felt as if he saw the smoke of ancient battlefields, with weapons and spears broken and halberds buried in the sand...
I was deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself, especially after listening to Lu Yunting's story.
After the song was over, everyone present was in a trance for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, a round of applause rang out, awakening everyone from their trance, followed by deafening applause and cheers.
"Good! You played it very well!"
“I felt like I was on a battlefield.”
"I seemed to see the flash of swords and the death of the dead on horseback."
Everyone expressed their shock, but they also did not forget to give rewards. Jiang Yueyang generously gave five taels of silver.
The father and daughter had a fruitful day today.
Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but sigh: "You play really well, it's almost at the master level. I didn't expect that such a small restaurant would hide so many masters."
Xiangling nodded in agreement. "That sounds good, but girl, should we go back quickly? The young master is probably looking for us now."
She guessed correctly. When Jiang Xun, the eldest son of the Jiang family, heard the coachman report that Jiang Yueyang would stay outside, he came out to look for her without saying a word.
He was afraid that his sister would be beaten.
"Okay, okay, we'll go back after we finish eating."
She also plans to discuss future outings with her family so as not to make them angry before that.
So, the two of them enjoyed their food while the diners were having a heated discussion about the song they had just played and Lu Yunting.
Then, I accidentally heard people next to me whispering about the cause of General Lu's death.
"Hey, don't you think what happened back then was a little strange?"
"What do you mean?"
"The death of General Lu."
"What's so strange about General Lu's death? Didn't the enemy sneak into the city and catch the Lu family army off guard? General Lu was unwilling to abandon the people in the city and fled alone, then fought a desperate battle with the enemy and died in the end?"
"Isn't this strange? Think about it, who are the Lu family soldiers? They are all brave and resourceful. How could they be easily sneaked into the city by the enemy? Unless someone is cooperating with them from the inside."
"This is just your guess. No matter how powerful the Lu family army is, they are still human. There will always be times when they make mistakes."
"Even if they were accidentally infiltrated by the enemy, how could there be no survivors? You have to know that there were 10,000 Lu family soldiers and five outstanding generals in the city at that time! Moreover, General Lu is not a conceited person, it is impossible for him not to send people out for help."
"Isn't the city under siege?"
"Are you stupid? Border cities usually have secret passages so they can call for help in case of emergencies."
"This... could it be that the enemy army's massacre of the city back then really had a hidden story behind it?"
"I think there is a huge conspiracy here. Ten thousand soldiers and a city of civilians were all killed. Not a single body was left."
"It is said that the fire that year dyed the entire sky red, and the night turned into day."
"Alas, there is no way to verify what happened back then. Besides, this is not something we ordinary people can discuss casually, so we'd better be careful about what we say."
"I was also affected by that song. No more talking, no more talking, let's eat."
Jiang Yueyang was listening attentively. What would it matter if they didn't say anything?
I hate people who only speak half the words!
Just as she was secretly angry, Xiangling suddenly said, "Girl, let's go."
Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyes and saw that they had finished their meal without her noticing, and Xiangling had even paid the bill.
Helplessly, she could only get up and leave Qingfeng Tower.
On the way back, Jiang Yueyang reviewed what those people said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Why can't Your Majesty and those people in the Lu family army think of this question when even ordinary people can think of it?
There is only one reason, and that is that all the unreasonable things have been rationalized.
But such speculation is based on the premise that there is some hidden story behind General Lu’s death.
What if there is no hidden secret?
The more Jiang Yueyang thought about it, the more confused he became. So he simply asked in his heart: [Xiaogua, is there a conspiracy behind General Lu's death? ]
[Yes, he was killed by someone! ]
really!
[Who designed to kill him? What happened back then? ]
Jiang Yueyang couldn't wait to ask, but she didn't know that the person who had been following her suddenly stopped when he heard that General Lu was killed by someone.
[Before General Lu went to war, he discovered that someone was secretly colluding with the enemy, but he hadn't found out who it was. So he thought he would continue investigating after the war. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and the person who colluded with the enemy knew that he was likely to be exposed, so he wanted to kill him to silence him.]
[But how easy is it to kill a general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops? Moreover, he has to do it without anyone noticing. So, after careful consideration, he decided...]
[We'll talk about the details later. First, tell me who killed General Lu? ] Jiang Yueyang couldn't wait to interrupt him.
[That person has a special fate, I can't see his face clearly. Host, your brother is walking towards you angrily. ]
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously looked forward upon hearing this. Her brother was walking towards her with big strides. His thin lips pursed into a straight line perfectly depicted his mood at the moment.
"Miss... Miss, you're on your own." Xiangling stuffed the wine in her hand into hers and took a few steps back.
Jiang Yueyang curled the corners of his mouth, "Xiangling, you are such an ungrateful person!"
Xiangling lowered her head and whispered, "The young master loves you the most. If you act a little coquettishly, his anger will subside."
"I……"
"You what?"
At that time, Jiang Xun had already come up to her with a sullen face.
Jiang Yueyang immediately said: "I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"After leaving the palace, you should go home immediately and not wander around outside."
"What did we tell you before entering the palace?"
Jiang Yueyang poked her finger guiltily, "Watch less, talk less, and think less. Go home directly after leaving the palace."
"I really do." Jiang Xun raised his hand to knock her on the head.
Jiang Yueyang dodged subconsciously.
The hand did not fall as expected, but a sentence came to my ear, "What did you do in the palace?"
Jiang Yueyang looked up in confusion, "I didn't do anything? I just wrote a poem about peony. What happened?"
"Father and mother have been summoned to the palace by His Majesty."
As soon as he went out to look for Jiang Yueyang, the eunuch from the palace came with an oral order.
