Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 970: There is no evidence of who is right or wrong

Chapter 970: There is no evidence of who is right or wrong...

in the garden.

The flowers are still in bloom, there are rockeries and flowing water under small bridges.

Red carps, big and small, swim happily in the clear stream.

A white-haired old man came over, it was the former Grand Palace Master.

Donggong Hua.

Although a hundred years have passed.

But the appearance hasn't changed much.

Because Zhoutian was integrated into Mingtian, the laws of heaven and earth changed, which in turn improved the art of playing the zither.

Seems to have become younger.

At this moment, when Dong Gong Hua saw Dong Gong Lan, he just sighed from the bottom of his heart. He had stopped trying to persuade him a long time ago.

It’s a pity that the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is heartless.

Donggong Lan now has one foot into the realm of Qin Saint and is the Grand Palace Master of Qin City.

I don’t know when.

Donggong Lan stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked out at the East China Sea, which was like a pool of stagnant water.

Her heart was also calm, without any ripples.

Once upon a time, the East China Sea was raging.

Just like her heart, when she first saw Feng Qingyan...

as time goes by.

The dead silent East China Sea in her eyes gradually began to form waves.

After a while, the waves rolled in.

The waves are rough.

An unblurred figure in white appeared on the sea.

Once you sit down, the raging sea will be calmed!

Sit by the sea and watch the piano!

now.

In her eyes, time suddenly flowed backwards and quickly returned to a hundred years ago.

Then, there was a smile in her eyes and a faint smile on her face, as if she had returned to the past...

"Miss Lan, it's time to go."

The maid beside her seemed to be calling her over and over again.

But she said:
"I'll watch it for a while."

"I'll watch it for a while."

……

I don’t know when.

In a courtyard facing the sea, a handsome middle-aged man and a still youthful and beautiful woman walked out.

It’s just that the woman’s eyes were a little dull, and she looked as if she had lost her soul.

It was Zi Yaqin and Bai You.

now.

Zi Yaqin looked at Dong Gong Lan who stood on the cliff for a long time and sighed slightly.

I can only say that it is fate.

He looked back.

His eyes fell on Bai You as tenderly as water.

More than a hundred years have passed, and Bai You still hasn't regained consciousness, let alone remembering the past...

but.

His love is faithful and unfailing.

He hasn't seen a canonization in a hundred years...

……

The highest point in Qincheng is the Five Palaces and Nine Halls of Qincheng.

The five palaces are: Da Palace, Shang Palace, Jiao Palace, Zheng Palace, and Yu Palace.

The nine palaces are: Qi Palace, Gu Palace, Tou Palace, Jing Palace, Run Palace, Yuan Palace, Qing Palace, Yun Palace and Fang Palace.

Those are the five tones of the zither and the nine virtues of the zither.

When Feng Qingyan was certified as the Master of Qin, he once moved into the Jing Palace...

so.

He is still considered a zither player in Zither City.

At this moment, the ox cart that was slowly approaching stopped in front of the piano stage, and Feng Qingyan lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Canonization, canonization..."

The handsome young man back then threw away his crutches and walked over.

When the musicians around heard the word "canonized", they were slightly stunned and looked curiously at the old man who was walking tremblingly towards them.

The name of canonization.

Who in the world doesn’t know this?

But there are not many young pianists nowadays who can recognize the canonization.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyan stopped on the steps, turned around and looked back at the old man who was approaching. Naturally, he recognized him as the young man who played "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" on the street that year.

But he didn't know the other person's name.

"Canonization..."

The old man looked at Feng Qingyan who turned around and looked at him, and he also slowly stopped.

Staring blankly at Feng Qingyan.

He saw.

Even though a hundred years have passed.

The appearance of the saint has not changed at all, even the white clothes he wears have not changed.

"Canonization..."

He said with a trembling voice.

The zither players around were slightly stunned when they saw Feng Qingyan on the steps.

Regardless of whether they recognized him as a saint or not, everyone was impressed by Feng Qingyan's charm. It seemed that the only figure in white was left in the entire world.

All others quickly faded into obscurity.

Gradually out of focus.

"Chen Tao pays homage to the canonization..."

The old man straightened his clothes tremblingly, tried to straighten his back, and slowly saluted Feng Qingyan.

"Brother Chen, you don't have to be so polite." Feng Qingyan smiled and said, "I remember you. When I came to Qin City that year, you were playing "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix". I didn't expect to see you again now, a hundred years later..."

"Thank you for remembering me."

The old man seemed extremely excited and almost burst into tears.

then.

When the canonization oxcart passed by.

I just looked at him curiously. I didn't expect that a hundred years later, I would still remember him...

At this time, the middle-aged and elderly pianists who had played the pianist before had already caught up.

When they saw Feng Qingyan on the steps, they were stunned.

"Canonize?"

They couldn't believe it.

He was in a daze for several breaths before coming back to his senses and bowing quickly.

At this moment, all the musicians around were stunned, looking at the figure in white on the steps in a daze.

Is this the legendary canonization?
"You are welcome, gentlemen." Feng Qingyan said with a smile, "Qingyan is returning to Qin City today, and it is Qingyan's honor to meet you all."

"Don't dare."

Several people were quite excited and talked continuously.

"I'm sorry, canonization."

Chen Tao suddenly said, causing Feng Qingyan to be slightly stunned, and then he shouted: "Grand Palace Master, Feng Sheng is back."

Although the voice was old, it was extremely loud and spread throughout the entire Qin City, making the originally bustling Qin City seem to become quiet in an instant.

Many people stood there in a daze.

In the garden behind the palace, Dong Gonghua, who was watering the flowers, stiffened slightly and turned to look forward.

The yard faces the sea.

Zi Yaqin was playing the zither for his beloved wife, but after hearing Chen Tao's shout, he made a wrong note. He is one of the top zither masters in Qin City, and his strength ranks in the top three. He is definitely not inferior to Dong Gonglan...

The zither players who were still alive at that time.

At this moment, they all stood there in a daze, looking up in disbelief.

There has been no news about Feng Sheng for hundreds of years. Will I and others be able to see Feng Sheng again?
boom!
Someone accidentally dropped a wine glass.

Someone was in a trance, frozen there, motionless...

"Canonization has returned?"

After a few moments of silence, someone finally came back to his senses and said, but in a low voice, he seemed unconvinced, "Is this true?"

"do not know……"

“Maybe he really has returned…”

But after a few breaths, they all came out and hurried towards the Qin Palace.

……

Under the steps of Qin Palace.

After Chen Tao shouted, he saw that there was no movement around him, so he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shout at Qin Gong again: "Grand Palace Master, the Saint has returned, the Saint has returned..."

And at this time.

A figure in flowing white appeared on the steps almost instantly. It was Dong Gong Lan. She stood there in a daze, staring blankly...

And all around.

Figures also appeared quickly.

It could be Donggong Hua, Ziyaqin, Shang Palace Master and so on.

When they saw Feng Qingyan, they were all very excited and many of them were trembling slightly.

Some people even had wet eyes.

When Chen Tao saw the Grand Palace Master appear, an indescribable smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He knew she was waiting for canonization...

In other words, everyone in the entire Qin City knew that the Grand Palace Master was waiting for the return of the Canonized One.

"Meet the canonized saint!"

There is humanity.

He bowed respectfully to Feng Qingyan on the steps. "Greetings to the Saint."

"Meet the canonization."

Then all the zither players around bowed respectfully.

It seems to be welcoming the return of the canonized saint.

……

On the extremely wide stairs.

Donggong Lan landed on the same step as Feng Qingyan.

At this moment, there was only a figure in white in her eyes, and everything else lost focus and quickly became blurry...

She watched quietly.

He was silent for a long time.

It seems like I am dreaming at this moment.

She slowly approached, wanting to touch the face that she always missed in her dreams...

And at this time.

The pianists at the foot of the stairs were all looking quietly at the stairs.

No one made a sound.

Who in Qin City doesn't know that the Grand Palace Master admires Canonization? Moreover, only Canonization can be worthy of the Grand Palace Master...

Naturally, they would like to see the Grand Palace Master and the Canonized Saint walk together.

now.

Donggong Lan stopped half a step away from Feng Qingyan, his eyes a little vague, and he slowly stretched out his right hand, wanting to touch Feng Qingyan.

but.

When the hand was half an inch away from the face, it stopped.

This disappointed the people below the stairs.

Touch it!

Someone was shouting in his heart.

At that time.

Dong Gong Lan can be said to be the goddess in the hearts of all zither players...

Although they were unable to be with the goddess in the end, now they hope that their former goddess can be with her beloved one.

I don't want to see the goddess of the past.

Died of depression.

Unfortunately, they didn't get to touch the hand in the end, which made them feel very regretful.

Ugh--

Someone sighed in his heart.

"You...are back..."

Donggong Lan put his hands down and spoke slowly, still looking like he was dreaming.

"I'll come back and have a look."

Feng Qingyan said after a moment of hesitation.

He was not a fool, so how could he not know Dong Gonglan's feelings? However, he was not interested in this...

Yes……

Come back to see me?
Donggong Lan wanted to ask, but didn't say it in the end.

"I... everyone in Qin City has been thinking about the canonization for a hundred years. Canonization... It is a blessing for Qin City that you remember me." Donggong Lan's eyes were no longer erratic, but full of tenderness and love. Even the one holding hands in the dream was him. With a trembling voice, she said slowly, "Lan, on behalf of Qin City, welcome the return of the canonized saint..."

"Miss Lan...you're welcome."

Feng Qingyan was silent for a moment.

"Canonization, please..."

Donggong Lan's voice was still trembling, and he slowly made a gesture of invitation.

Feng Qingyan bowed to everyone around him, then walked towards the Qin Palace on the steps, and the other Qin players followed slowly behind him.

now.

No matter Dong Gonghua or Zi Yaqin, they didn't say anything. They gave all their time to Dong Gonglan and just watched silently...

At this moment.

It belongs to Donggong Lan alone.

The steps in front of the Qin Palace were large and long. Everyone was walking silently and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was very strange.

Feng Qingyan didn't know what to say when facing Donggong Lan, whose body was trembling slightly.

at this time.

Everything you say is wrong.

Unless you are walking together, don't say it.

perhaps……

Coming back was a mistake.

He...somewhat regretted showing up.

The stairs were very long, so Donggong Lan walked a little slower.

But she wished that the stairs were as long as possible, and that they would never end. She only wished to walk quietly on the stairs with her beloved until the end of time...

This made the atmosphere on the steps extremely weird.

The pianists behind felt it more and more.

Keep holding it in.

but.

The stairs always end.

Even if Dong Gonglan walks slowly, there will be a moment when he will finish walking...

……

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The news of the canonized saint's return spread quickly throughout the world as if it had wings.

When Zi Yaqin came back from the back garden of the palace, she said to Bai You: "Xiao You, after a while, I will go to a very far place..."

"I don't know where that is."

"But Brother Feng said, it's very far away. If you go there, you may never come back."

"Although Brother Feng doesn't let me go, I should go..."

……

On the edge of the sea cliff.

Feng Qingyan quietly watched the East China Sea turn into a dead sea...

Dong Gonglan walked over slowly and stood shoulder to shoulder. After a long silence, he said, "Can you not leave this time?"

Feng Qingyan didn't say anything, but shook his head slightly.

"Must you go?"

Donggong Lan whispered, his voice trembling slightly.

"Miss Lan, Qingyan didn't mean to walk through your world..." Feng Qingyan sighed, "Perhaps my appearance is a mistake for you."

Donggong Lan shook his head.

After a while.

She said, “When are we leaving?”

"Let's go now..."

Feng Qingyan Road.

Dong Gonglan's face was full of bitterness, and his voice was still trembling as he said, "Can you... walk with me?"

“We shouldn’t make any more mistakes.”

Feng Qingyan said.

"Isn't it possible to do this stretch of sea cliff?"

Donggong Lan said with some pain.

"I don't want to give you hope. Our meeting was a mistake in itself, and I can't let it continue to go wrong. This will only be bad for you..."

Feng Qingyan shook his head.

"I do not mind."

Donggong Lan said with a trembling voice.

"But I mind. I can't let it continue to be wrong even though I know it's wrong."

Feng Qingyan Road.

"Then...can I hug you?"

Dong Gonglan's eyes were filled with pleading. Before Feng Qingyan agreed, she suddenly hugged him. However, the figure in white in her arms quickly faded...

She missed it.

"sorry--"

One stayed behind, full of apologies.

At this moment, Donggong Lan was collapsed on the cliff, looking full of sadness.

Don't know when.

Donggong Hua appeared not far away. Seeing Donggong Lan like this, he felt equally sad.

Why did God let them meet?

Ugh--

Dong Gonghua just sighed deeply and left.

After a while, he will leave Qincheng, leave Zhoutianxia, and go to a completely unfamiliar place.

To complete the mission of canonization.

Not only him, but also Shang Gongzhu, Zi Yaqin and other Qin Kings and Qin Lords.

……

An oxcart slowly left Qin City, followed by countless Qin players, including the Qin King, Qin Lord, and Qin Prime Minister...

Countless zither players came to see him off.

but.

Among those who came to see him off, there was no Donggong Lan.

At this moment, she was wearing a big red palace dress, standing on the platform in front of the Qin Palace, quietly looking at the shadow leaving in the distance.

The tenderness in my eyes is all you;
Love is like falling flowers and drifting water;
The one holding my hand in my dream is you;
There is no way to wake up from the entanglement of fate;
Your grace is not yet fulfilled in this life;
I wish I could turn into spring mud in my next life;
The wild geese pass by without leaving a trace, but the wind is affectionate;
Forget about life and death in the world;
In front of people, the flowers are reflected in laughter;
Who will listen to my crying behind people’s back?
But the one I love is you;
There is no basis for who is right or wrong...
