On the old city tower in Chen Guofanjing, the harp player in black had heavy fingers, looking down at a deserted and empty city, unable to pluck the seven thin strings.

The Jinyang Pass was broken, and the Chen Kingdom was destroyed. King Wei rode alone in plain clothes, entered Zhao from Dongyang, passed through Zhao and entered Chen, and traveled all the way to Fanjing. He saw the colorful scenery of the Chen Kingdom, but now only two types, Yin Hong and Jet Black, are left. Color. Inside and outside the city, in front of the mountains and on the sides of the mountains, rivers of blood flow.

At this time, a man was sitting alone. He originally wanted to use the mournful music of the piano to pay tribute to the souls who suffered because of his obsession. Unexpectedly, the music of the piano penetrated from his fingers into his heart, and each string and column was just weaving the past years into a broken illusion. , blooming before a pair of cold eyes

Looking back on the past, I remember that the handsome man from Chu named Zhuge Dunji once met a beautiful dancer named Liu Yao here.

A smile can captivate a city, a dance can conquer a country.

Xiao Yi, I am determined to let all the nations of the Nine Provinces bury you with you. If the world wants to blame you, I can only blame me. There is no need to pour the "disaster of beauty" on you.

One sound casts calamity, one tune shapes sorrow.

Dongfang Yu, Ning Yu, the descendants of the Zhou Queen who have been protected by the Zhuge family for generations... Although I didn't do it myself, you died because of me after all. That year, you led Kao'er and I led Xiao, and we were in Yulingsheng. It seems like yesterday that we were drinking and talking about parenting in the palace. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt your Shu’er or Cai’er in the slightest. There is no need to repay the father’s debt, because you have already paid back what you owe me. I married Shu. My son, the Zhuge family will still protect the descendants of Queen Zhou from generation to generation.

Li Chen, King Chen, Zhuge Dun's old friend... Although I didn't do it myself, you died because of me after all. Your only son, Li Wei, I have entrusted to Xue Jiu Ming, the head of Yaowang Mountain. .You can rest assured that Stingy Xue is a strange person. Your son will definitely become a strange person if he is raised by him. Stingy Xue said that he gave your son a new name, called "Xue Fan", which means, Cut away the complicated memories of the past, but leave a benevolent heart to help the common people.

When all the nations are buried and Kyushu is unified, I will imitate King Le of Zhou five hundred years ago and sail to the ends of the earth, using the ocean as a coffin, the sky as a tomb, and the clouds as monuments, and let the vast East China Sea bear my endless sins.

I don’t believe in the afterlife, and I don’t deserve one.

I only do things in this life.

…

Outside the city gate, King Zhao walked towards the sad music of the piano. Step by step, he felt that time had frozen in the deep sadness of the piano player.

Downstairs in the old city, King Zhao raised his head and looked at the back of the player in black. The autumn wind was blowing, and he saw the player's black hair mixed with black hair.

Twenty years have passed since Zhuge escaped. Unexpectedly, I, Liu Ying, heard this piece of music again, and it was actually played by the person who composed the music and lyrics.

Twenty years ago, in the Ningguo Hall of the White Jade Palace, the four great beauties of the Chen Kingdom sang and danced. At the end of the song, the dancer Liu Yao took out the jet-black diamond jade hairpin with engraved plum blossoms from her bun, and rushed towards me resolutely... The jade hairpin was soaked in The poison is called lovesickness Gu. That jade hairpin is the thing you gave her as a token of love for the Qi Wei Marriage Alliance.

At that time, when I listened to this sad song, I thought that the grand ambition and hegemony of one country are far less than the peace and contentment of the people of all countries. If the unification of countries does not become a general trend that conforms to the people's hearts, we cannot use militarism to create a hell on earth. .

Zhuge Dunji, it was your music and lyrics that woke me up back then. But now, what are you doing?

Three thousand songs and dances in Beijing, fifty altars of fine wine from Lanquan...

In the end, it turned into a river of blood and a loss of life.

I want to return to the countryside and live leisurely, watching the world happen...

I originally wanted to spend the rest of my life and never leave the mountain.

…

King Zhao whispered to the guards beside him: "Go to the tower and ask the man playing the piano to leave quickly. Just say that King Zhao is here to take Fanjing, and everyone else should stay out of the way."

The guards took the order and left, and King Zhao turned around and got into the carriage.

On the city tower, the music of the piano stopped. King Wei looked down and saw a Zhao State carriage driving slowly and slowly into the old city gate of Fanjing. Behind the carriage were a steady stream of Zhao State soldiers and Chen State stragglers who had regrouped.

King Wei secretly laughed in his heart: "The coward Dugu is not doing business and farming at home, but he came here to seek death with great fanfare. Is it because he drank too much sorghum produced by your Zhao country? The Rongren Wolf Division killed so bravely that the Chen army could not resist it. Dugu

Wei, are you sure you want to do this? Zhao Guo has a flat river, so you can open the gate of Pingliang City and let the Rong people walk their horses happily in your land. Why do you have to be hot-headed and then use it to prosper the capital?

Build a Jinyang Pass? I had no intention of destroying your weak Zhao Kingdom, but you are seeking death, so you can’t blame me."

…

Zhuxia dyes the sky, just like the soul is burning. I made a vow back then, but it never warmed my heart.

Liu Ying pushed the door open and walked in. The Fanjing Dance Studio was vacant, and the aura of honey and powder lingering here had long since dissipated.

The last time I opened the door, it felt like a lifetime ago.

In that life, the idle sick Yangzi took the pseudonym Liu Yin. He knew that he was about to die soon. He just wanted to visit all the beautiful places in the world, taste all the delicacies in the world, and admire all the beauties in the world in the few remaining years. I heard about the singing and dancing in Fanjing.

The most popular dancer in the world is Fanjing, so he pushed open the door and walked in just to catch a glimpse of the figure and appearance of Liu Yao, the best dancer in Fanjing.

The singer sings Chen Guo Xiao

Taste the wine in Lanquan

Appreciating beauties in Fanjing

Maung City Shengge

Night after night

Chen Guo invites you to stay

Spring Flower Festival

Fluttering sleeves in summer

Not out in autumn and winter

Outside Jinyang Pass

Raise a cup to pour out all the sorrows

…

The dancing girl's sleeves are fluttering, she is as graceful as a butterfly, her eyes are cold and she refuses to smile, she is infinitely enchanting.

After Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, he smiled and asked the plain-looking young man next to him if he knew who the woman on the stage was.

Young Master Wenya said: "My friend must have come from far away. No wonder he doesn't know Fanjing Liuyao."

That night, the dancing girl Liu Yao received the largest reward in her life, breaking the record for a dancing girl in the Chen Kingdom. From then on, she was known as the "No. 1 Dancing Girl in the Chen Kingdom". A hundred taels of gold were placed in a nanmu wooden box.

There is a piece of paper taped to the wooden box. The handwriting on the paper is weak but handsome and elegant: "I have come a long way, and there are not many days left. It is not a waste of my life to see a beautiful woman. It is a box of common things, please accept it with a smile. If you can find it for a moment, I hope you will see it."

Narrative."

Liu Yin did not expect that after sitting in the side room for a while, Liu Yao came over with light makeup and sent a servant to hold the nanmu box and return the box and all the gold ingots to him.

Liu Yao smiled kindly and said warmly to the thin and unfamiliar man in front of him: "Thank you very much, Master, for your kindness, but gold, silver and jewels are of no use to me, and luxury clothing and food are not what Liu Yao desires."

Liu Yin also smiled warmly: "Miss Liu, she has a severe poison in her lower body and is plagued by illness, and her life is not long. I can't take a box of common things into the ground, so why don't I leave them to you, buy a free house, and buy a few acres?"

Earth, one day I will be able to find my beloved and return to my garden and live leisurely.”

Liu Yao shook his head slightly: "How can you return to the garden if you don't have your heart in harmony?"

Liu Yin didn't ask any more questions, and suddenly realized that the woman who looked very enchanting just now was wearing light makeup, and her eyes were full of awe-inspiring righteousness, so he said: "My lady is in good health and has a long future. I guarantee you that whatever is on your mind will be taken care of."

Smooth and round.”

Liu Yao said: "Thank you very much for your kind words, Master. You just said, 'My life will be over soon,' but I don't know if there are still unfulfilled things in my heart? Although Liu Yao only has a relationship with the Master, he is kind and generous, and he should not deserve this."

Heaven is jealous, if you don’t mind me, you can entrust Liu Yao to do something for you."

Liu Yin waved his hand: "I have been well-dressed and well-fed since I was born, and I am idle and have nothing to do to trouble Miss Liu." Then he pushed the nanmu box in front of Liu Yao and joked, "But if Miss Liu can see Qi Qi one day,

Xiao Yi, the daughter of King Qi Ai and the subjugated princess of the country, can transfer this box of gold to her for me. If you can’t see it, you can keep this gold for your own use."

Liu Yao was slightly surprised. "I wonder what the young master is looking for, Princess Xiao Yi of Qi...?"

Liu Yin peeled off the thin paper on the nanmu box and said with a smile: "She and I have no reason for each other, so naturally I have nothing to do with her. Anyway, after the death of Qi, Princess Yi has disappeared without a trace, and you will definitely not be able to find her. I will give it to you."

The gold can only belong to you."

In the next few days, Liu Yin came to the dance studio to watch the dance every day and lingered in the wing every day. Liu Yao accepted his gold and pitied him for his short life at such a young age, knowing that he had no plans for him.

, I was just greedy for the beauty in front of me in the remaining years, so when I had free time, I came to the side room to have a chat with him, which was also a way to help this poor man fulfill a regrettable thing in this world.

Within a few days, contrary to Liu Yao's expectation, Liu Yin's conversation with her was not sarcastic, nor was he expressing his admiration at all. Instead, he described the famous mountains and rivers he saw while traveling away from home after he fell ill.

, the scenery of all countries. On top of gratitude and compassion, Liu Yao gradually developed a respect for this man who was plagued by illness but had a great heart.

Later one day, Liu Yao heard from Aunt Su Rui that the guards around Mr. Liu asked the dance studio about her selling price. Liu Yao was confused for a moment and felt that this did not seem to be what Mr. Liu had done, but he did not have time to ask in person.

He got another gift from Mr. Liu from Aunt Su Rui.

It is a crystal clear white jade ring that can flicker a little at night, just like the stars in the sky. It is a priceless treasure that can only be found.

Liu Yao wanted to return the luminous white jade ring to him in person, but unexpectedly, Aunt Su Rui said that Master Liu had left.

Mr. Liu asked Su Rui to tell Liu Yao that the guard asked about Miss Liu's net worth, but he did not know about it. After learning about it, he did not ask how much she was worth. This jade ring was just a gift from someone who admired her but could not promise her future.

Li. I wish her a safe life and to follow her heart. Even if she is trapped in darkness, she should raise her head to admire the bright stars in the sky.

…

Chen State was destroyed, and the northern territory of Chen State was under the jurisdiction of Zhao State.
