Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 52 Leizhou Association (3)

Hearing the old demon head's warning, Ye Ziqi immediately stopped talking.

On the other side, on the high platform of the kings, the four kings had already taken their seats, but none of them intended to start the Leizhou meeting. Instead, they all stared at Yin Changqin's lower head and the second long table in the north.

At this moment, the long desk is still empty, except for an old man with white beard standing behind the desk.

The host Yin Changshu first asked the old man: "Old Wu, when will Wang Ji come?"

The old man called Mr. Wu replied: "My lords, Wang Ji, please start this grand meeting by yourself. Wang Ji has other arrangements, so you won't be disappointed."

"That being the case, we will take care of ourselves."

So Yi Guohou Yin Changshu called the officials to serve wine and food, and sixteen dancers and musicians came on stage to perform dances.

The soldiers of the four countries surrounding the high platform looked up at the same time, and saw sixteen beauties all wearing half-sleeved skirts, slender waists, and green clothes and pink satin, dancing gracefully and swaying to the graceful music.

The sound of drums, chimes, zithers and pipas, and all kinds of music together made the whole palace warm like a spring breeze.

The long skirt is like flower petals, the ribbon is flying like light clouds, the pink arms are burning like peach branches, and the jade feet are as exquisite as white jade. (Note [-]) The lotus steps move lightly, shaking so that everyone's eyes are dazzled, Yixing Trent flies.

At this moment, a zither sound and a Xiao sound, amidst the chaotic music, like a phoenix singing clear and clear, broke through the sky, shaking people's hearts!
The sixteen dancers formed a circle and walked around quickly, leaving countless dancing shadows on the high platform. In the center of the circle, there seemed to be an extra shadow at some point.

Suddenly, the sixteen dancing shadows stopped together, and the dancers lowered their waists outward at the same time, rolled out of their bodies, like a giant flower blooming, a bright red bloomed grandly in the shadows of the skirts, and in the red robes Surrounded by it, a beautiful woman who could overwhelm the audience suddenly revealed her face!

At that moment, the eyes of all the soldiers in the audience froze.

At that moment, all the skirts on the high platform lost their color, and only she was the only one who appeared in the mortal world with her celestial beauty.

She is wearing a red fur coat with white fluffy collar and a powder skirt. She has a topknot, phoenix eyes and wide forehead, a delicate snow neck, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and spring in her eyebrows and eyes.

At this moment, even the princes on the high platform couldn't sit still, and they wanted to get up one after another. It was Mr. Wu who hurriedly persuaded them to sit back in their seats.

The woman who appeared suddenly held a seven-stringed guqin in her hand, and her onion fingers looked like jade rabbits in the moon palace, jumping non-stop on the strings.The demeanor is gentle and generous, although it is pure and amiable, probably only "heavenly fragrance and national beauty" can be used to describe it.Together with her piano sound, it is also majestic, with sonorous syllables, urgency and demeanor, showing the demeanor of a great country.

On the right side of the woman, there is an equally handsome and extraordinary young man, holding a hole flute and playing it leisurely.His expression is drunk and fascinated, lazy and affectionate, but the sound of the flute is also wandering in Huangquan Biluo, never lagging behind the sound of the piano.The white clothes are loose and very suave.

""Phoenix Emperor Bearing the Flag Song"..."

Ye Ziqi muttered to himself, staring blankly at the stunning woman on the high platform.

He was not attracted by her beauty, he just remembered his dream.

It is said that once, someone rode on the back of the Phoenix Emperor, holding an ancient battle flag, and visited Kyushu, just to find the legendary Huangdi Xuanyuan who traveled around Kyushu on the back of a dragon and finally ascended to heaven and became a fairy, and asked him to take over the disputes again. The world, let the people return to peace and happiness.

"The phoenix emperor's wings bear the flag, and the wings soar high." (Note [-])

The musicians made music based on this, and the music is full of the scene of Fengyou traveling in Kyushu.

Once, he also pointed to the words in the book and said to the two people he loves the most in the world that he wants to go to Kyushu to see.

Once, he found this "Fenghuang Chengqi Song" in the book, and that night he had a dream of the phoenix traveling to Kyushu.

In the dream, it is Qianzhou with thousands of horses galloping, and the sun rises on the cold mountain; The sea is thousands of miles away, and the fish and shrimp are caught in the net; it is the rain in Songzhou that hits the lotus pond, and the literary society sings;

Now, when he really heard this qin music, all the magnificent scenes that had been forgotten came back again, and he seemed to see the phoenix swimming in the sky for nine days, with the golden light shining among the wings.

However, the girl who agreed to travel with Kyushu is no longer there.

Suddenly, the tone of the voice dropped, and the rhythm relaxed, as if the Emperor Feng returned to his hometown with the people on his back after touring Kyushu.

Ye Ziqi's eyes gradually blurred.

He used to think that the happiness in the world was hidden everywhere in Kyushu, waiting to be discovered by others.However, after he walked out of Beishan Town, he realized that the happiest time in his life had been buried forever in that small mountain town.

The woman's pair of jade hands plucks the tone that is gradually becoming desolate like late winter. The winter wood is sluggish, and the cold wind tests the fresh green. In the deep mountains where there is no human trace, the birds walk freely on the ground, and when they spread their wings suddenly, they melt. Looking a little farther into the sky, people can't help wondering whether there is a kingdom of heaven at the end of the inexhaustible sky?

Ye Ziqi vaguely saw his hometown again—it was under the same sky with the sound of the zither fluttering, housewives in the small town raised smoke from their homes, farmers who had finally finished their day's work, and good guys exercising their fists in the martial arts field. Wu Qingnian and You Fang Langzhong, who came back from picking herbs from the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back, met briefly on the road, greeted each other, and then went to their respective destinations.The girl under the eaves of Ye's house waved her hands, carrying the water bottle and handkerchief that had been prepared for him, guarding the direction of his return, day after day...

The mighty green water breaks through the ice, rushes in the mountains, passes through the mountain towns and houses, and also passes through the deserted cities and wild suburbs.It was the season when the plum blossoms first bloomed, and countless snowflakes swirled and fell on the clear waves that shone with blue light, and melted on the river surface in a short while, drifting away along the current, sending away the beautiful corpse of the mountain town... …

The music faded away, and he shed tears.

On that day, when he and her met for the first time, before facing Kyushu side by side and roaring swords, making the whole world an enemy, what he harbored in his heart were all beautiful fantasies about the land of Kyushu.

On the high platform, all the dancers bowed to the kings after dancing, but the girl who played the piano stood up and said to the lords of the country in a clear voice: "The generals of Leizhou defend the barbarians in the north and guard the frontiers for the country. The little girl is not talented. A piece of music, I hope to do a great job for the heroes of the Northland!"

"Tch." Gu Feng snorted coldly, horse bandits entered the country this winter, the rulers of the four countries abandoned their people, and assembled soldiers to defend themselves in the capital, who can be called a "hero"?

And all the kings on the high platform stood up except Yin Changqin, as if they didn't dare to assert their status in front of the woman.

The leader Yin Changshu and Yan said: "Thank you Princess Feng for the song, and with Wang Ji's help, my Leizhou soldiers will be even more courageous, and I will kill those Qianzhou thieves and flee, haha..." Yi Guozhu said and laughed Get up, and the other kings echoed with their voices.

But under the high platform, Ye Ziqi trembled when he heard the woman's identity, and then he just said softly: "The reputation is well-deserved."

"Do you know who that woman is?" Gu Feng asked in a low voice.

"I know." Ye Ziqi said: "The only daughter of the Lord of Songzhou Qiongsang, the 'No. [-] Beauty in Songzhou', the adopted daughter of Emperor Dasong, Dugufeng."
