In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

In the private room, Bai Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated, listening quietly to Nong Yu plucking the strings of the zither.

The sound of the piano was like the gurgling of running water, or the gentle breeze coming from deep valleys and secluded mountains, gently brushing across Bai Yuan's ears, making him feel refreshed and free of mind.

The piano piece "High Mountains and Flowing Water" has the function of helping people to adjust their mood, cultivate their sentiments, and nourish their temperament. The effect is more obvious when played by Nong Yu.

In just a few days, Nongyu had become so familiar with "High Mountains and Flowing Water" that Bai Yuan was surprised.

After a long time, the song ended and Bai Yuan slowly opened his eyes with a look of approval in his eyes.

"Miss Nanyue is really amazing!"

Zi Nu on the side also nodded slightly.

Nanyue gently stroked the strings of the zither, smiling and shaking her head slightly.

"The music score of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' that Mr. Bai Yuan gave me is really amazing. The more I study, the more I feel that this piece of music is extremely mysterious. Now I can just play it smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu also smiled and looked at Bai Yuan, pretending to be puzzled and asked:

"Zi Nu has also seen the music score that the master gave to Nong Yu. This music score is indeed extremely mysterious. It should not be as simple as it looks on the surface, right?"

Unlike Nanyue, Zinu had a mysterious origin and was knowledgeable, so she realized that this music score was not just a piece of music. There seemed to be a martial art hidden in this music score.

Seeing that she asked this, Bai Yuan did not hide it.

"It seems that you have also discovered that 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' is indeed not just a piece of music, but also a martial art, a martial art specially tailored for zither players."

Zi Nu thought to herself, as expected, and then she became even more delighted.

As the apple of her eye, Nanyue has always been cherished by her. However, in troubled times, blindly protecting her would only harm her.

Therefore, Zi Nu has been teaching martial arts to this sister who appears weak in appearance but is actually extremely strong in heart.

However, Nanyue's talent was limited, and Zinu had no intention of training her to become a martial arts master, so she only taught her some basic life-saving methods. Most of Nanyue's energy was still focused on learning the piano.

The emergence of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" today can be said to be a completely unexpected surprise.

Nanyue's face also showed an unconcealable joy.

She knew that Zi Nu had recently formed a new organization with Han Fei and others and was planning something big. She, who had always been protected, also wanted to repay Zi Nu and help her.

Seeing the two of them looking very excited, Bai Yuan poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"Although this martial art is very suitable for a skilled zither player like Nong Yu, it does require a certain level of strength to unleash the power of this martial art. If the internal strength level is not high enough, this piece of music will only be a piece of music."

Zi Nu and Nong Yu were both slightly stunned when they heard this.

Then both of them calmed down.

"Thank you sir for the reminder."

Zi Nu smiled and thanked Bai Yuan, but in her heart she was already planning to prepare a real internal energy manual for Nong Yu.

Bai Yuan waved his hand slightly:

"No need to thank me. Since I gave this music score to Nong Yu, I should tell her this."

After all, the cultivation of internal strength is not something that can be done overnight.

Zi Nu had obviously not allowed Nong Yu to formally practice internal skills before. Bai Yuan could clearly feel that the true energy in Nong Yu's body was very weak.

If you start practicing now and accumulate slowly, if you want to achieve something, the time it will take will be measured in years.

After chatting and laughing with Bai Yuan for a while, Zi Nu stood up and prepared to leave.

"I have other things to take care of, so I'll leave this place to the two of you."

"Miss Zi Nu, please do as you please."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Zi Nu manages such a large Zi Lan Xuan, so she is naturally a very busy person and it is impossible for her to stay here all the time.

After hearing this, Nanyue also stood up and walked Zinu to the door.

Before leaving, Zi Nu turned around and glanced at Bai Yuan, then said with a smile, "Mr. Bai Yuan, don't bully Nong Yu just because I'm gone."

When Nanyue heard this, she pulled Zinu's clothes, lowered her head and said shyly, "Sister!"

Bai Yuan was speechless, holding his forehead, shaking his head and sighing:

"I thought I had left a good impression on Miss Zi Nu, but I didn't expect that Miss Zi Nu would look at me like this. It's really sad!"

Zi Nu smiled gently, having seen through Bai Yuan's poor acting skills, but did not respond. Instead, she whispered a few words in Nong Yu's ear, then walked away gracefully with her waist twisted.

After Zi Nu left, Nanyue bowed slightly to Bai Yuan feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sister Zi Nu didn't mean that just now, sir, please don't take it to heart."

Bai Yuan laughed and took a sip of Zilanxuan's finest orchid wine.

"I can understand Miss Zi Nu's worries. After all, Miss Nanyue is the apple of her eye. If it were me, I would be more careful. If the cabbages I raise at home were eaten by pigs outside, I would be furious!"

Bai Yuan's strange metaphor made Nongyu stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing.

"Sir, you are really humorous. Who would say that about themselves?"

After a round of joking, the two of them no longer cared about what Zi Nu said before she left, and they became more casual with each other.

After resting for a while, Nongyu sat down in front of the zither again and sang another song for Bai Yuan.

However, this time she did not play "High Mountains and Flowing Water", but played another song she was good at.

As the sound of the piano began, Bai Yuan temporarily forgot about drinking and closed his eyes to savor the song.

Although it was also melodious and pleasant, it was different from the joy and happiness when playing "High Mountains and Flowing Water". This time Bai Yuan keenly captured the trace of sadness in the girl's heart in the leisurely piano sound.

For a zither player like Nanyue, the sound of the zither is the voice of the heart.

Knowing the plot, he also understood where Nanyue's melancholy came from. He understood that Nanyue was a woman with a rough life, and this song described Nanyue herself.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The song was not long and ended soon.

Nongyu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at Bai Yuan, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

In that song just now, she couldn't help but show her innermost emotions, which could be said to be the song of her heartstrings. Normally, she would never easily show such a song in front of others.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and he sighed slightly.

This sigh was caught by Nong Yu, and then an expression of irrepressible joy appeared on her face.

He really heard it!

If before, Nongyu only had some good feelings towards Bai Yuan because of the "High Mountains and Flowing Water" piano score, then now she is completely sure that Bai Yuan understands her piano and can hear the music of her heartstrings.

Chapter 355 The Secret Cannot Be Revealed

After a brief moment of joy, Nongyu quickly regained her composure and put away that trace of joy.

"What do you think of the song just now, sir?"

Bai Yuan shook his head slightly and put down the wine glass in his hand.

"It sounds very nice. As the saying goes, where the music goes, there is love. The music played by a passionate and emotional musician like you, Miss Nongyu, can move people's hearts even more."

"It's just... this song is a bit sad."

Upon hearing this, Nanyue lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"Miss Nanyue, are you feeling sad because of your difficult life experience?"

Bai Yuan asked meaningfully.

Nanyue was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat sad expression, and nodded gently: "Sir, please understand, Nanyue has been taken care of by Sister Zi Nu since she can remember, but Sister Zi Nu told me that when she picked me up, I only had a Fire Rain Agate as a token of my love."

"Hmm..." Bai Yuan hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, but finally softened his heart.

"There are some things I don't know whether I should tell you, because knowing these things may not be a good thing for you, but after all, it involves your life experience, so I'll give you the right to choose!"

After hearing this, Nanyue was startled and then covered her mouth, fearing that she had heard it wrongly.

"Sir...did you just say something involving my background?"

"Yes, I know the origin of the Fire Rain Agate, and I also know who your parents are."

Bai Yuan did not deny it.

Nanyue did not doubt Bai Yuan's words. She quickly stood up, walked to Bai Yuan, and said sincerely:

"Please tell me what's going on, sir. I'll be grateful!"

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and gestured with his hand: "Sit down first!"

Tears glistened in Nongyu's eyes: "Thank you, sir!"

Then Nong Yu sat aside and looked straight at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan sighed and said slowly:

"Let's start with the Fire Rain Agate on your waist! It was produced in the Fire Rain Villa of Baiyue. The owner of Fire Rain Villa, Lord Huoyu, became a wealthy man with this Fire Rain Agate."

"Lord Huoyu is a man of kindness and generosity, and his reputation spreads far and wide. He has no sons, only two daughters, both of whom are beauties. Your mother is Lord Huoyu's eldest daughter."

Nanyue's eyes lit up, as if she could see what her mother looked like.

Then she eagerly took Bai Yuan's hand and said, "What about my father?"

Bai Yuan patted her hand gently and continued:

"Your father was Li Kai, the former Right Sima of Han. Many years ago, King An of Han was just a prince. In order to ascend the throne, he united the generals in the army and joined forces with the State of Chu to attack Baiyue in the name of suppressing a rebellion. He wiped out the royal families of Baiyue and annexed their land."

"Left Sima Liu Yi and Right Sima Li Kai were also ordered to go to Baiyue to fight. Li Kai met your mother at Fire Rain Villa and fell in love with her. The Fire Rain Agate around your waist was carefully carved by him."

Hearing this, Nong Yu felt a little strange, as she seemed to have never heard of such a person as You Sima Li Kai.

"So what happened next?"

Nanyue keenly realized that something must have happened behind the scenes, and she held the Fire Rain Agate tightly in her little hands.

Bai Yuan paused and continued:

"Later, Liu Yi was jealous of Li Kai's ability to win the favor of Lord Huoyu's daughter, so he secretly colluded with the notorious thief gang of the Baiyue Land, the Three Wolves of Broken Hair, to plot against Lord Huoyu's treasure."

"While Li Kai was away on the expedition, Liu Yi led his men to slaughter and burn down Huoyu Mountain Villa. Lord Huoyu's treasure was also seized by Liu Yi. Afterwards, he killed the three wolves with broken hair. Because Li Kai fought alone, his army was also destroyed by Baiyue."

Bai Yuan also stopped talking.

At this moment, the tears in Nanyue's eyes flowed down like a dam bursting.

She understood that she was not abandoned, but Zuo Sima Liu Yi was the culprit who caused her family to be broken up.

Seeing Nanyue's sad look, Bai Yuan couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe away her tears.

"You don't have to be too sad. Although Fire Rain Villa was destroyed, your mother escaped."

"Really?"

Nong Yu's eyes were still moist. She looked at Bai Yuan with a glimmer of hope and subconsciously moved closer to him.

Bai Yuan sighed: "Your mother didn't know the truth, and later remarried to Liu Yi, and her sister married Han Wangan and became Concubine Hu."

Hearing this, Nanyue obviously found it difficult to accept.

Unexpectedly, his mother was deceived by Liu Yi and remarried him.

For a moment, Nong Yu couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

Now she understood why Bai Yuan said that knowing these things might not be a good thing for her.

Now even if she knew who her enemy was and where her mother was, she still could not do anything.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt overwhelmed and her tears couldn't help but flow.

Bai Yuan sighed, feeling a little distressed, and gently patted Nong Yu's back.

But just as he was about to speak to comfort Nong Yu, he felt a familiar breath approaching and immediately thought something was wrong.

The next moment, Zi Nu suddenly pushed the door open with a smile on her face. Seeing Nong Yu crying in Bai Yuan's arms, her smile immediately disappeared, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart.

"Nongyu!"

She hurried over, pulled Nongyu behind her, and glared at Bai Yuan, as if to say, "How long have I been away, and you made my baby cry?"

However, without knowing the truth of the matter, Zi Nu did not make any rash speculations.
