When Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao came outside the inn, they saw Zhuge Liang sitting upright on a carriage. They stepped forward, cupped their hands and said, "Military advisor." Zhuge Liang said softly, "Hmm", waved his feather fan in his hand, and said : "Get on your horse and let's go."
"yes."
The two got on their horses and followed closely behind the carriage.
In ancient times, curfews were implemented in cities, especially during wartime, and residents were especially prohibited from traveling at night. Although Chai Sangwei was not really involved in the war at this moment, Cao Cao's troops were already pointing at Soochow. Therefore, Chaisang City, which is bustling with activity during the day, is filled with darkness and desolation as soon as night falls.
The only light was the torches in the hands of the city defense sergeants patrolling back and forth, and the refraction of their weapons.
Even the carriage from Zhou Yu's residence had to go through six rounds of inspections before it arrived at Zhou Yu's residence. The guards on the left and right had obviously received Zhou Yu's instructions and did not stop Zhuge Liang from waiting, but they still made a routine announcement before letting him go.
Then an old housekeeper led everyone to meet Zhou Yu.
Zhou Mansion is located in the southwest corner of Chaisang City, with a quiet environment and environmentally friendly pines and bamboos. Walking among the corridors lined with green bamboos, you can see rockery pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. There is a sense of elegance and nature everywhere. Even at night when the lights are dim, there is something special to enjoy.
However, while admiring the beautiful scenery around him, Yin Kuang also discovered something strange. But I can’t tell what it is specifically, it’s just a very strange feeling. Until, when he stepped onto a corridor again and once again saw a pond with a dim full moon in the sky, Yin Kuang opened his eyes and thought to himself: "Why did you come back again?"
But he didn't say much, but followed Zhuge Liang obediently.
After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. The old butler who led the way led everyone to the aisle on the left. Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "Old man, I think you have remembered the wrong route. You should take the middle road."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, turned back to look at Zhuge Liang, and then smiled and said: "Yes, yes. Look at me, I am confused." After saying that, he stretched his hand towards the middle road and said: "Guests, please come this way."
Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile and followed closely.
Yin Kuang secretly thought: "There is indeed a ghost!" As he said that, he looked at Pan Longtao and said with his lips: "Be careful, don't lose me. There is a formation in this courtyard." Pan Longtao was not stupid either. He listened to Zhuge Liang and the old housekeeper. He also came up with a rough idea of the conversation and nodded gently.
Now that we were on the right road, we came to a small green bamboo building not long after. Before Zhou Yu showed up, Lu Su had already greeted him with a hearty smile and said, "Mr. Zhuge, you're here, please do me a favor." wait."
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The scenery of Gong Jin's mansion is beautiful. I was so fascinated by it that I almost lost my way. Let Zijing see it and smile." After Lu Su heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, but his smile did not diminish. He said: "Yes, Gongjin's house is really nice. It has a quiet environment and is far away from the hustle and bustle. I am very envious of it. Now that you are here, please don't stand outside. Please, please."
Zhou Yu invited guests, but asked Lu Su to greet him. This was obviously another slap in the face to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang didn't seem to care at all, but he shook his robe coolly and said: "Your Majesty, please." After saying that, he took a step ahead of Lu Su, opened the bamboo curtain of Cuizhu Xiaozhu and entered inside.
Lu Su saw this and shook his head helplessly, "You two are just competing, but you both use me as a spearman. I am..."
Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao looked at each other, then raised their hands to Lu Su and said respectfully: "Sir." Lu Su felt depressed, glanced at Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao, and seemed to have forgotten Yin Kuang, and waved directly, "Go in, go in Bar."
After lowering their heads and entering the small building, Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao used their peripheral vision to find Zhuge Liang's location, then stood up behind him quietly, then secretly raised their eyes and scanned the surroundings.
I saw a person sitting at the head of the hall, wearing a turban and a white shirt, a jade face and long hair, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, looking cool and unrestrained, really handsome. Needless to say, there is only one person in Zhou Mansion who can sit on the table. That is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. This person gave Yin Kuang the feeling... If Zhuge Liang is like an arrow, which shows its power when it is shot, then Zhou Yu is like a sword, a sword without a scabbard, showing off its sharp edge!
Behind him stood two people, but they were old acquaintances. They were Bei Dao from Class 1207, and another person whom he didn't recognize, but was obviously also from Class 1207. When Yin Kuang looked at Bei Dao, Bei Dao also looked over. The two looked at each other and winked, which was considered a greeting.
In the northeast corner, a woman is sitting on her knees, her head lowered, and her appearance cannot be seen clearly. She was twiddling her ten onion-like fingers, cleaning the tea set on the table. Although it was only a quick glance, the slender figure shrouded in hot water and the movements like flowing water left an indelible impression on Yin Kuang.
"A woman made of water." This sentence popped into Yin Kuang's mind for no reason.
who is she? Needless to say
As for the two maids behind her, they were ignored by Yin Kuang.
Lu Su, who entered later, sat opposite Zhuge Liang.
After both host and guest were seated, servants served wine and delicacies. Then, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su chatted in vain for a while, and then toasted to each other. After drinking, they started talking about each other's family affairs and talking about everything. The whole room was filled with their hearty or elegant laughter.
Yin Kuang wanted to watch Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's verbal battle at first, but after listening for a while, he lost interest in it.
Pan Longtao, who was on Yin Kuang's side, was similar. The difference was that he always glanced at Xiao Qiao no matter what. Obviously, he really wanted to see how beautiful Xiao Qiao, one of Jiangdong's two Qiaos, was. Unfortunately, Xiao Qiao, who was quietly making tea, seemed to have entered another time, so that the more Pan Longtao looked at him, the more blurry he felt about Xiao Qiao's figure. This made Pan Longtao very depressed: "It's strange, my perception is the best in the class anyway. Why can't I feel Xiao Qiao's existence less and less?"
While Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao were looking around, several people in Class 1207 were not idle either. Their eyes were secretly turning around. Either they looked at Yin Kuang, or at Zhuge Liang, or they looked at each other, wondering what the hell was going on.
After a while, or Lu Su felt tired of talking about all the nonsense, he smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, the war is urgent now, whether it is war or peace, please Gong Jin..."
Before Lu Su could finish speaking, Zhou Yu touched the five strings of the guqin on the table and played out all the five notes of Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu. Then he said solemnly: "Zijing, I'm very happy today. We won't talk about official matters."
The so-called "great joy" is that in the original movie, Zhou Yu's horse gave birth to Ma Zaizi. It was difficult to give birth at the time, but Zhuge Liang seemed to know everything, so he temporarily became a stable mother and successfully delivered the foal.
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lu Su smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Sir, you know the rhythm. How about playing a song with me?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and replied: "I only understand a little bit."
Zhou Yu smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang, "I think you are hiding something."
Zhuge Liang smiled silently and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. After all, you are here to seek allies, and you cannot offend others.
Lu Su smiled and said: "Oh. If the two of you can really play together, you will really shine." (In response to the question, please don't care about the source)
Afterwards, several servants removed the food and wine, placed the guqin and lit incense.
Almost at the same time, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu both pressed their fingers on the strings.
In an instant, the heaven and the earth were quiet, and there was no sound. Only a strong wind blew by, causing the candlelight of the candlesticks in the hall to flicker.
And Xiao Qiao, who had been obsessed with making tea, slowly raised his head...
Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu. After looking at each other for about two seconds, Zhuge Liang gently touched the strings with his fingers. In this way, the sound of the piano like running water flowed out from Zhuge Liang's ten fingers and five strings, flowing throughout the entire green bamboo house.
And just when Yin Kuang was about to listen to a free ancient music ensemble, he suddenly found that Bei Dao and another person behind Zhou Yu on the opposite side suddenly turned pale. They pursed their lips almost at the same time, and their bodies trembled slightly. For what reason.
Zhuge Liang was playing, and Zhou Yu listened for a while, then smiled confidently, pushed hard with the five fingers of his right hand, and the five notes merged into a "buzz", and the sound of the piano began to blow like the wind.
At this moment, Yin Kuang suddenly felt a heavy hammer hit his chest hard, and he almost breathed out. As Zhou Yu played "buzzing", Yin Kuang felt dizzy, with stars in his eyes, and his eardrum became more and more painful. At the same time, his heart accelerated, his blood flow accelerated, and his whole body felt extremely uncomfortable. Pan Longtao, who was next to Yin Kuang, was no better. His face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking unconsciously.
At this moment, both Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao understood that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were competing with the sound of the piano!
And just when Yin Kuang and the two were about to say goodbye to Zhou Yu's piano music, which shook their standing unsteadily, suddenly Zhuge Liang's piano music changed, from the original trembling stream to a rolling river, and the sound of the surging water neutralized Zhou Yu's. The strong wind howled, and Yin Kuang and the two felt better. On the other hand, on Bei Dao's side, the two of them took a step back almost at the same time. The person next to Bei Dao was even more unbearable, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Yu frowned and played with ten fingers, ten of them turned into phantoms, and the five strings almost disappeared. The sound of the piano that was originally like a strong wind turned into a "towering mountain" and blocked Zhuge Liang's "rolling water". At the same time, the "high mountains" trembled and the ground shook. Yin Kuang was a little better, but a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Pan Longtao's mouth.
Zhuge Liang smiled, and the "roaring water" turned into a "gurgling stream", and "rao" crossed the "high mountain" and continued to flow.
Zhou Yu frowned more and more, held down the five fingers of his left hand, and moved the five fingers of his right hand continuously. The original "buzzing" sound turned into a "clanging" sound, like a battlefield of gold and iron horses, sweeping everything. Those five strings were almost cut off by the sound they played!
Zhuge Liang continued to play with his head down, his fingers fast but not messy. As a result, the "gurgling brooks" began to gather, and finally merged into the "vast sea". Zhou Yu's "golden arms and iron horses" were all submerged invisible by Zhuge Liang's "vast sea".
As the two played, the sounds of the piano converged and suddenly formed a rotating wind, blowing in the hall. The light of the candles in the hall also swayed to the left and right. But not a single candle was extinguished.
As for Lu Su, Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao's maid, they listened with great interest, with joy showing on their faces. However, while Xiao Qiao was happy, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
However, the four Yin Kuang people continued to endure the torment of chilling the sound of the piano... until...
Boom—
Clang—
Almost at the same time, the two players played the last note.
The lingering sound lingers around.
"Okay! Okay! After listening to this music, I'm afraid I won't know the taste of meat for three days..."
Before Lu Su finished speaking, he heard the sound of "puff, plop, plop". I saw Yin Kuang, Pan Longtao, Bei Dao, and another boy falling to the ground almost at the same time.
