The zither was played in the same way as the zither. Basically, the strings were tuned according to the five tones: gong, shang, jiao, sign, and feather.
Xiang Nan fiddled for a while and adjusted to the required tone. Without saying anything, he directly began to play. As soon as the notes came out, everyone was shocked because each note seemed to have the essence of the sword. Although people couldn't hear the sound of the sword, they could feel that the sword was singing. This was many levels higher than Hai Lianjin's Sword Through Sound. It had reached the level of controlling the sword with sound.
Shi Dong was an expert in this field, and he was even more shocked. Such a realm was simply unheard of and unseen. It had completely surpassed him and reached the realm of Great Master. Those who achieved great success in their skills were called Great Masters and were close to the Dao. However, this realm was extremely difficult. In history, no matter which field had reached Great Master, they had all left their names in history and were praised by later generations.
Shi Qingqing was not an idiot. Her family had a long history of learning, and there were several generations of ancestors who were good at music. Her mother was a master of the Musical House, and she was often influenced by Shi Dong. Although her skills were not good, she had the ability to appreciate music. Therefore, when she heard Zhao Xi play, she recognized him because she knew that among the young talents in the world, there were too few who could reach the level of her father.
But at this moment, when she heard Xiang Nan play, she was surprised to find that this person's skills were even better, to the point that there was a beauty in the simplicity. She couldn't help but immerse herself in the music. Her thoughts seemed to fall into the sea of swords, feeling their sharpness and sensitivity.
Xiang Nan looked indifferent. His fingers changed freely in the eight types: support, wipe, pick, hook, pick, hit, and pluck. Each change could make the music glow with different tension. After the prelude, the artistic conception of Great Master was basically expressed. When it entered the main section, the rhythm became leisurely, as if he was in Jianghu but detached from it. But soon it changed again. It seemed that the lofty mountains were being chopped, and the sound of oars was being rowed in the vast water. Then it suddenly rose, as if riding the clouds for thousands of miles, and the sky was flying, as if there was a swan expressing its ambition.
The audience felt that the music was chaotic and difficult to distinguish, and they didn't know what it was. Only an expert would be able to discern the meaning behind it.
At the end of the song, it became faint and indistinct, as if there was the sound of water and clouds, revealing a kind of paleness and powerlessness. Moreover, it was powerless to express the infinite emotion of "human strength is limited at times".
After one song, Shi Qingqing couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. She hesitated a lot about her choice just now.
Shi Dong stood up slowly and cupped his hands in the other before his chest. "Mister is a great talent. My daughter's talent is shallow and she's not worthy of you. I don't dare to be your father-in-law. Please forgive me."
The audience was shocked to see a Super Arrester call a young man "Mister". Not only that, but he had actually rejected her with this reason.
"It's fine." Xiang Nan didn't linger and left.
Looking at Xiang Nan's back, Shi Qingqing suddenly felt reluctant to part with him, but she was ashamed of her own inferiority and did not dare to ask him to stay. For the first time in her life, she realized how vast the world was, and that Yan Shifang was not the only hero.
Bai Yi wanted to chase after him, but he remembered that the outcome of the battle was still unknown, so he couldn't leave. He stomped his feet and said, "Don't let me catch you!" He was just a layman, so he didn't really understand what Xiang Nan was saying. When he saw Xiang Nan leave, his heart was bleeding for the hundred Soul Stones that he had spent on nothing. He couldn't wait to catch Xiang Nan and cut him into pieces.
"You two continue your sword fight." Shi Dong sat back down, his expression unreadable.
The Second Young Master was surprised. He didn't expect this result. But he was a practical person and only cared about the result, so his mood wasn't affected. He smiled at Lianhai Changjin and was about to speak when he saw Cheng Miao coming in from the corner of his eye and nodded to him. He knew that Miss Wushuang had arrived, so he took off his mask and cupped his hands at Shi Dong.
"I'm from the Zhao Family of Wei's Kingdom, and I'm here to give you a big gift!"
Shi Dong's expression changed. "A big gift?" Of course he knew about the Zhao Family of Wei's Kingdom. He also knew that the Zhao Family was the backbone of the resistance against the imperial court.
Second Young Master pointed at Bai Yi and said with a smile, "This is King Wei's bodyguard commander, Bai Yuge. The other is Nether Ghost Military Advisor, Wu Zixu. These two heads are Zhao Xi's gift to Lord Divine Investigator! — Miss Wushuang, please kill them! "
Bai Yi, or rather, Bai Yuge, was shocked. He picked up Wu Zixu and ran.
"Chase!" The Second Young Master ordered and cupped his hands at Shi Dong. "I'll bring their heads back to show the sincerity of the Zhao Family!" He chased after them.
Shi Dong suddenly understood and laughed in disdain. "This is the way of the Zhao Family!" He thought for a while and said to the official, "Lord Jia, take some men and seal the city gate. Only people can enter but not leave. Once we catch those two, the power of the rebellion will be greatly reduced. His Majesty's achievements will be in sight. "He got up and disappeared.
…
Cheng Miao and Wushuang were at the end of the alley, blocking Bai Yuge who was running slowly with Wu Zixu on his shoulder. Cheng Miao was fine, but Wushuang, who was approaching from the end of the alley, made Bai Yuge's hair stand on end. He looked up and saw that the Second Young Master had arrived. He stood on the rubble of the roof with a smile, as light as a swallow.
"Commander Bai, Military Advisor Wu, you can't escape."
"Yuge, put me down," Wu Zixu said with a bitter smile.
Bai Yuge loosened his grip and took out his silver spear. With a flash of silver light, silver armor appeared on his body. He then used Secret Telepathy to say, "Lord Wu, I'll block them. You run quickly!" He gritted his teeth, prepared to die.
Wu Zixu did not comment. He only cupped his hands at the Second Young Master. "How did you find me, Second Young Master?"
The Second Young Master smiled. "It was an unexpected surprise. I placed a Flea Talisman on the table facing south. Lord Wu knows the use of the Flea Talisman. Unexpectedly, he heard Commander Bai's voice. I secretly observed and confirmed that it was Commander Bai. I knew that the person who came with Commander Bai must be Lord Wu. "
The Flea Talisman was a brand new talisman introduced by Dayu Academy in recent years. It was called the Flea Talisman because it was only the size of a flea. The Flea Talisman was used to eavesdrop. It was divided into a male and female talisman. The male talisman would collect the sounds it heard and transmit it to the female talisman. The female talisman would interpret the sounds and restore them in detail. Although it would lose its effect if the distance was more than three hundred feet, it was an innovation that transcended time and was sought after by many forces.
Of course, Wu Zixu knew about the Flea Talisman. The Wei Imperial Palace had spent a lot of money to buy a batch from the black market. They had once given it to the Zhao Family as a reward. In other words, the Flea Talisman used by the Second Young Master originally belonged to the Wei Imperial Palace.
"Lord Wu, don't talk nonsense with him. I'll send you out!" Bai Yuge grabbed Wu Zixu's collar and threw him at Cheng Miao. It looked as though he was going to use Wu Zixu as a shield, but in the next moment, he passed Wu Zixu, who was screaming in the air, at an even faster speed. His silver spear drew a deep mark in the void, drilling straight for Cheng Miao's throat.
"Choosing me as the breakthrough point?!" Cheng Miao laughed sinisterly. The joints of his hands expanded and turned into two ghostly hands. One of them grabbed the head of the silver spear at lightning speed, while the other grabbed at Bai Yuge's throat. It was visible to the naked eye that the two's Law Domains clashed.
Bai Yuge could not pull the spear. Although he was shocked by the ghostly hand's attack, he did not panic. His feet touched the ground and he leaped more than five feet into the air to avoid the ghostly hand. At the same time, he twisted his wrist that was holding the spear and pulled his arm back. The silver spear suddenly spun and the spearhead rubbed against the ghostly hand, creating sparks.
Bang!
Silver light burst forth. Cheng Miao grunted and was smashed into the wall.
Bai Yuge let out a muffled groan and smashed into the wall.
Bai Yuge caught Wu Zixu, who had fallen to the ground, and continued to run forward. But after two steps, he was forced to stop. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. He did not know when Wushuang had come from the other end of the alley to this end. She pressed on her sword and walked towards him step by step. Every step was like a sword stabbing into his heart. The fine sweat quickly turned into beads and slid down his cheeks. They landed on the silk and blended fabric and quickly disappeared. At this time, he remembered that this robe was custom-made for him by His Majesty from the Cloud Water Pavilion when he had made a great contribution. The fabric was special and the workmanship was excellent. It would quickly dry after being soaked in water, and even after several years of wear, it still looked as if it was newly made.
"Your Majesty … I can no longer protect you …" He knew that he would undoubtedly die if he threw the spear, but he still attacked without hesitation.
The spear stopped halfway. At this time, Wushuang had not drawn her sword. She was never confused when she drew her sword. She knew that the moment her sword was unsheathed, the silver-armored soldier would be beheaded. But she did not draw her sword because a person had appeared. The man seized the silver spear so easily with his hand that it would not budge.
No one knew when or how Xiang Nan had appeared here, so everyone was looking at him, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
Only Bai Yuge, who was a straightforward person, was slow to react. When he saw Xiang Nan suddenly appear and grab his spear, he felt as if he had just survived a disaster. "You, why are you here? No, leave quickly. This is not a place you should be! "
"Xiang Nan!" The Second Young Master's expression darkened. He felt a little uneasy. When he saw Wushuang still standing there, his uneasiness disappeared. He slowly smiled. "Why are you here? I had already planned to spare you."
Xiang Nan sighed. "I took his money to eliminate disasters. I took his money, but I couldn't stand out in the Selection of the Son-In-Law. I had to save his life to make up for it."
"Are you confident that you can save him?" the Second Young Master asked.
"There's no harm in trying," Xiang Nan said.
"Miss Wushuang, please kill them. I'll pay any price," the Second Young Master said to Wushuang.
Of course, Wushuang could not draw her sword because her employer had not said anything about payment.
Clang!
Clang!
It was as if Xiang Nan had also made a move at the same time. No one knew where he had gotten his sword from. Both sides seemed to have drawn their swords at the same time. Everyone felt a great terror of life and death. In the blink of an eye, the outcome was completely different. Wushuang's sword was returned to its scabbard, while Xiang Nan's sword was broken into two.
The Second Young Master thought that the outcome had been decided and was overjoyed. "Xiang Nan, do you know who your opponent is? She's known as the Wushuang Killer. She never needs a second strike to kill someone. You should feel honored to die in her hands. "
"Is that so?" Xiang Nan casually threw away the broken sword and smiled nonchalantly.
The Second Young Master's smile froze. "You're not dead?"
Just at this moment, Wushuang suddenly disappeared in a flash, leaving very abruptly.
"Miss Wushuang!" Cheng Miao's expression changed. He had never heard of Wushuang running away. Could it be that he had met a fake?
"Who are you?" The Second Young Master's face was ashen.
"Hahahaha, my surname is Yan, my given name is Li, and my name is Xiang Nan! Yan Xiang Nan, Yan Xiang Nan, so that's how it is! "Lianhai Changjin walked out from the other end of the alley, laughing loudly.
