The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 19: Vaguely old figures
This young man is about twenty-eight or nine years old. He is a young scholar wearing a white-washed green shirt with a bamboo flute tied around his waist. He seems to be quite desolate, but he is handsome and elegant in appearance. Gao Hua, as if he didn't care about the poor life. The young man was always playing with a folding fan in his hand. The folding fan shook and opened and closed, faintly revealing the image of the beautiful woman on the fan. This folding fan is gorgeous and expensive, which is in sharp contrast with his cold clothes, and the frivolous beauty fan is even less commensurate with his cold look. But what is strange is that this kind of disharmony reveals an inexplicable harmony, which makes this young man even more handsome and handsome.
The young man drank a few more glasses of wine and sang in a low voice: "The melancholy dream is slanted by the mountains and the moon, the lonely lamp is shining on the wall and the window screens are behind the screens, the small building is tall and the pavilion Xie's family. The body is fragrant and misty with morning clouds. (Note 1)"
His voice is a bit muffled, but this song is sung down and down, affectionately sent to each other. This restaurant is full of friends, and his singing is full of silence. His voice is not high. But everyone can hear clearly, listening attentively, and some people are tapping gently to the tune. As soon as the second sentence was sung, a beautiful and moving flute sounded from the building, the flute sound accompanied by the singing, it became more and more mesmerizing.
After one song was sung, the flute did not stop, and then a woman's clear and transparent singing sounded in the building. The woman sang the tune sung by the young man again, although it was the same tune. There are many changes in the details, and the woman's singing has turned back to the heart, and the deep meaning of the word is fully interpreted, making everyone in the building forget what tonight is.
The young man closed his eyes slightly, savoring the wonderful singing. After a long time, the singing disappeared, and the light footsteps stopped at the door of the wing. He opened his eyes and sighed: "It must be a girl like a dream coming here. Alas, it’s hard to buy a girl’s daughter for singing and dancing, but now she is showing her singing voice in this small restaurant. If she knows it to Jianye’s romantic children, she must be beating her chest and sighing."
When the bamboo curtain was picked, a girl wearing a red Zhaojun suit floated in. Behind her were a maid in Tsing Yi and a sturdy and powerful man. The girl got into the wing, and the Tsing Yi maid helped her take off the Zhaojun suit. The girl was long in jade and wore a plain white satin dress, like a white lotus blooming silently. That girl is about her early twenties, and she has a beautiful and elegant appearance. Regardless of her skin is like fat, the willow eyebrows are like leaves, but those clear and clear eyes are full of amorous feelings. She stepped forward and bowed down and said: "My concubine is Liu Rumeng, I have seen Mr. Song Yusong."
The young man smiled slightly and stood up and said: "Like a dreamy girl, she is famous for singing and dancing in Jiangnan. Song is just a poor prodigal, how can he be a girl's gift." But there is arrogance between his brows. , There is no hint of inferiority.
The girl sighed softly, her eyebrows showed a faint sadness, her bright eyes flowed, and she felt sad, she whispered: "The concubine is in Qinhuai to entertain people with sensuality, but she is always excluded and bullied. This Once the South Chu army repelled the Yong army, all the brothel paintings in Qinhuai had a discussion. The Oiran contest was to be held in Xuanwu Lake on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. Three people were selected as champion, second place and Tanhua. From now on, only these three can be called. Oiran lady. In the past, everyone was in their own right. As long as there were more people, they could be respected as oiran. This time, it was different from the past. The sisters needed to perform on the spot, and then tasted by the guests of Manhu. Yang Jiangnan, the loser has no face."
The young man said indifferently: "Girl Rumeng has both **** and skill, who does not know Qin Huai, why worry about this."
Tears seemed to flash in Liu Rumeng’s eyes, and said: "The concubine has always been alone and unconstrained. Qinhuai brothel is now faintly confronted by two heroes. Wanhualou and Yueyingxuan are not giving way to each other, this time In order to compete for the oiran, both sides tried their best. Wanhualou was nothing. Their top brand Qiuyan girl, Seyi is not under the concubine, but Xiao Erniang of Yueyingxuan was forced to join in by various designs. When the concubine refused, they used tricks and stole the new words that the concubine had asked for for this event. If the concubine was on the Xuanwu Lake event, they could only sing some clichés, not to mention that the position of oiran could not be obtained. I’m afraid I’ll be laughed at. My concubine thinks about it, only Mr. Song can help me, and I ask Mr. to have pity."
The young man frowned upon hearing the words: "You should know that although I often write poems for people, I mostly work for the girls under Wanhualou. I have a good relationship with Wanlouzhu. This time It’s a big matter. If I help you, wouldn’t I offend Wan Louzhu, and who doesn’t Qin Huai know that Yueyingxuan’s Qin Erniang is cruel, and if I do bad things about her, I’m afraid I can’t settle down in Qinhuai anymore, Miss Dream, you I should know Song's difficulties."
Liu Rumeng concealed his face and said: "If there are no four or five new words, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support. I am anxious, where can my concubine buy these many gorgeous new words? Alas, is my concubine really wanting this time? It’s a complete failure, nothing. My Liu Rumeng is not as good as Liu Piaoxiang after all. I want the girl Piaoxiang to dance and be unique on the Qinhuai River. When I think of the legend that she laughs proudly and denounces the king of Han, Rumeng always feels stunned, always thinking. Following the heroic appearance of Piaoxiang's sister, now it seems to be nothing but a dream."
The deepest sorrow flashed in the young man’s eyes when he heard the words, and disappeared in a flash, and then he sighed: "Miss Rumeng has such ambition, and Song admires it. If the girl doesn’t dislike it, Song is willing to accompany the dressing table and write words for the girl. Composing music, but I don’t know whether the girl lacks a piano master, and Song’s piano skills are quite impressive."
Originally, Liu Rumeng saw that the last hope was cut off and couldn't help but say what she said in her heart. Unexpectedly, Song Yu suddenly agreed to write a lyrics for her, and was willing to be a minister under her skirt. He was overjoyed and put down her sleeves, beautiful. Tears filled his face, and he smiled with tears, and it became more and more beautiful. She stepped forward and pulled Song Yu's sleeves and said: "Oh, if Mr. Song is willing to condescend, like a dream, I would like to worship Mr. Song as a teacher and respectfully listen to his teachings."
Song Yue saw her expression of surprise, and only felt that his heart was lost, and he was unable to hold on himself. He wandered among the brothel fireworks to numb himself. For those Yingying and Yanyan, he was just acting on occasion, the most indulgent At the time, it was only warm hands and eyes, although he was among the flowers, his heart was like an ancient well. Although Liu Rumeng has always been famous, he has a knot in his heart. He deliberately avoided it as soon as he heard of the female surname Liu. He has never seen each other until now. How can he never expect to see him today? This Liu Rumeng looks very much like this regardless of his appearance, talents and love. The beauty he has long admired in his heart, how can he not let him be ecstatic.
Song Yu, originally the son of the Southern Chu family, whose real name is Song Min, was a scholar at the age of twelve. He was hailed as a prodigy in the village, but his family was renounced, and he was forced to live in Jianye when he was dying of poverty. He was rescued by Liu Piaoxiang, a famous prostitute who moved Jiangnan, and left him as a small servant on the Piaoxiang painting boat. At that time, although he was young, he developed an admiration for Liu Piaoxiang. In order to be infatuated in his heart, he was willing to stay on the painting boat and practice the low duty. Although there was no chance to get close to the beautiful woman, Liu Piaoxiang’s smiles were all The most precious memory in his heart. Because he always pays attention, even Liu Piaoxiang and Jiang Zhe's affair he knows a little bit, although he is also happy that Liu Piaoxiang can match his beloved, but the pain in his heart cannot be lessened. After Liu Piaoxiang left the painting boat, he left in sorrow, so he avoided the massacre that came later. Later, he joined the secret camp due to fate, but was shocked to learn that Liu Piaoxiang had disappeared. In order to avenge his sweetheart, he concentrated on training. Although his martial arts qualifications were not above the middle level, with his unremitting efforts, he was finally promoted to the eight horses and won the fame of Jiang Zhe.
The eight horses of the secret camp, the dragon group, Chi Ji is the most reusable by Jiang Zhe. They are talented, emphasizing love and righteousness, and have a firm temperament. They are calm, but are cold outside and hot inside; the tiger group, Bai Yi looks simple, but has The talent of the leader controls the main combat power of the secret camp; the secret team, Shanzi is good at the hidden weapons of the organ, and even later abandoned martial arts for it, but the secret team’s assassination plan often depends on his support, Qu Huang, The appearance is plain and forgettable, and the enemy is often noticed before his death. The hidden group, Huahua, looks peaceful, easy to approach, but meticulous, although it is often weak in love, but it is really needed. At that time, he can be extremely ruthless, green-eared, open-hearted and friendly, but in fact he is shrewd and capable and good at business.
And Yulun is the most special person in the Eight Horses. He was originally the head of the tiger group, under Bai Yi. It can be said that his martial arts is outstanding in the secret camp, and he should have been Like Huo Yi, he killed people with open fire, but he preferred to be an assassin. Originally, Jiang Zhe thought he was not suitable for entering the dark group because of his good looks, but afterwards, everyone had to admit that he was the best. assassin. The folding fan in his hand is his weapon. The bones of the folding fan are made of stainless steel. The hidden steel needle hidden weapon can directly take the enemy's vitals when facing the enemy. There are countless masters who died under this folding fan. However, Yulun mostly used sneak attacks to defeat the enemy. He planned rigorously and carefully laid out his moves. He never missed his shots. He used tactics and looked into the hearts of the people. He often took the enemy’s life when it was impossible. No one knew it was his hand. And since he debuted, he used bohemian behavior to disguise his true colors, coupled with his outstanding talent, writing poems and writing lyrics with a wave, and in a little spare time to hang around in the fireworks willow alley, this kind of indulgence , It became his best cover. On the face of it, he is a high-minded scholar, a prodigal son, but no one thought he would be a hard-hearted assassin.
The disciples of the secret camp officially came out in the first month of the 22nd year of Nanchu Xiande, and the first month of the sixth year of Yonglongsheng, which is two years ago. According to the original ten-year agreement, all the disciples of the secret camp can be free. I have lived the life I want, even before that, Chi Ji and Huali have officially left the secret camp, and Pirate Li's energy has been more devoted to the Hai's boat trip. Although they were free, almost everyone in the secret camp chose to continue their allegiance to Jiang Zhe. After all, regardless of whether they want to get rich or wealth, it is not difficult to get along with Jiang Zhe, not to mention their loyalty to Jiang Zhe is deeply rooted. Yulun is almost the only exception. As one of the eight horses, he is already one of Jiang Zhe's named disciples. The great power of Yong Dynasty is prosperous, and Jiang Zhe is in full swing. With this status, he can almost get everything he dreams of. However, he chose to leave the secret camp and return to Jianye, the capital of Southern Chu, to spend the rest of his life. Yulun didn't know if Jiang Zhe had any plans to kill him, but in the end he returned to Jianye safely and lived the life he wanted. In comparison, among the Eight Horses, his loyalty to Jiang Zhe is the weakest. He left the secret camp and Jiang Zhe not for Nan Chu or other reasons. In fact, if Jiang Zhe forced him to stay, he would also He wouldn't resist, he just wanted to go back to the beginning.
After leaving the secret camp, Yulun’s life soon fell into a difficult situation. What he learned in the secret camp was all about killing conspiracy, and he had never learned how to make a living. After all, he was not one of the secret group or the hidden group. People, after years of being aloof, he is no longer used to whispering, let alone making a living by strength. His only talent is to kill people, but he doesn't even know how to contact the assassination business. In addition to that, he only writes poems and writes lyrics, but he does not bother to exchange poems for money, let alone when he was in the secret camp. With heavy money, gold and silver are often quickly squandered. If it weren't for the entanglement when he was leaving, I am afraid he could only leave with nothing.
After getting rid of the fetters, Yulun almost directly arrived at the Qinhuai River. He was extraordinary, handsome, and with a brilliant literary talent and a lot of money, he soon became a guest on the Qinhuai River. Wandering in the wind and moon every day, leaning on the red kuma, singing and dancing with wine, leisure is chanting poetry, his poems are elegant and moving, lingering, and an ordinary singer who sings a familiar song can be popular for half a month. Later, his money was exhausted. If it weren't for the red card in the brothel to ask him for poems, and then give him gold and silver, he was already empty.
Even so, it didn’t take long for him to be impoverished. From the status of rich clothing and catering, to such an embarrassing situation, if ordinary people can’t help but regret and regret, they will be happy after passing the wheel. Such a poor life has been a whole year and a half. . Until one day Qu Huang went to Jianye to do errands and knew that he was living in seclusion, and came to visit him specially. Seeing that he was so poor, Qu Huang was almost stunned. As a result, Qu Huang, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but drag him to the restaurant for a night, and then almost all the gold and silver on his body disappeared without a trace. After January, Qu Huang appeared again, but brought an assassination mission. Since then, Yulun’s life has changed. Every once in a while, he will get various tasks from the Tianji Pavilion or the secret camp. These tasks are concentrated near Jianye, and most of them are quite difficult. In fact, Tianji Pavilion has quite a few properties in Jianye, and the secret camp has frequent activities in Jianye. It’s just that after leaving the secret camp over a round, I don’t know the details. Every time he completes a task, the reward is enough to make him live. The extravagant life for a period of time has kept him from poverty.
Yulun accepted this change without hesitation. Although he changed from the former secret camp master to the tool driven today, he did not complain or regret at all. The flame of his life seemed to have been ten It burned out more than a year ago, and only in the wind and moon of Qinhuai, can Yulun feel peace and joy. In fact, there are times when Yulun himself does not understand why he has no regrets and no regrets like a moth fighting a fire. Whenever he wants to figure it out, he always has that bright face that can never be forgotten.
Until today, in this ordinary restaurant, he met Liu Rumeng, and he felt that life seemed to have renewed waves. There was no similarity between the appearance of this woman and Liu Piaoxiang, but in her After expressing his heartfelt feelings, Yulun discovered that the temperament and style of this woman was so much like the person he dreamed of, and only for this reason could he agree to stay with this woman, forgetting to pick it up three months ago. How dangerous and unpredictable the next task is. Thinking of this, his eyes on Liu Rumeng became more and more sad.
Liu Rumeng’s heart is as fine as a hair, and he can naturally detect the changes in his emotions. She has long heard of this young Song Yu. Many sisters on the Qinhuai River have mentioned this person to her, but somehow, they never did. When she met, she also thought about whether Song Yu deliberately avoided it, but she felt it was impossible. The sisters all say that Song Yu is a weird person. Although it is not a long song to cry every day, it is to buy drunk Qinhuai, and hug right and left in Fengyuechang, spend money like earth, willful and indulgent, and often look at high officials and scribes with blank eyes. There is no arrogance to these women who make a living by selling laughter, but treats each other with friends, not like those men who make fun in Qinhuai, even if they are all smiling, they are contemptuous in their hearts. A careful sister once said that although this Mr. Song was in the flowers, he was never really happy. Even if the fragrant powder was greasy, he couldn't hide his coldness, and even the laughter could not hide the pain in his eyes. . Liu Rumeng was originally half-believing, but she knew it was true at first sight today. I just don't know why he was so sad that he was so sad that the pearl was covered in dust.
However, the secrets of Song Yu’s body can be discovered slowly, Liu Rumeng said: "Since your sir has allowed Rumeng, why not go back with Rumeng now, alas, Yueyingxuan has always been rude and unreasonable, if you know it My husband is helping his concubine, I might not bear to say anything."
After the round, he took his gaze back and said lightly: "I don't care about the people in Yueyingxuan. Please go back first, girl. I will meet you in the painting boat tomorrow."
Liu Rumeng wants to persuade again~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing Song Yu’s expression cold, an irreversible aura of solemnity exuded between his eyebrows, his thoughts went back and forth, and he bowed down and said: "In this case, concubine body Waiting for Mr. on the boat."
Yu Lun turned his back and raised a glass to invite the moon. There was a bit of sorrow in his heart, and he couldn't help but whispered: "The old passionate son, now I am afraid that only the newcomer Yan Ruyu is in his eyes. Where can I still remember the bleak Jianye city ancient tomb. Liu. Girl, I thought that no one in the world would remember you except me. I never thought that you still have a confidant in the dust today."
At the time of the ninth revolution of the reincarnation, someone laughed and entered the curtain, saying: "Brother Song, this time he showed his face as a brother. Thank you for your idea. Why are you in such a good day? How about this little place being wronged, how about going to Yueyingxuan with me for a few swigs?"
A coldness flashed in Yulun’s eyes, and he smiled: "Brother Shang is serious. I just talked casually. Some people worry about the major issues of the country. Why are we small people troublesome? Drinking is fine, but still Brother, don't talk about the things that are ruined."
That person is Shang Chengye. Although he is the only son of Shang Weijun, his status is precious, and then he is mediocre. The people he meets usually are either flattering or superficial respect, but in fact he is contemptuous. Although Shang Weijun is stupid, he has a long time. I also know that most of the people around me are fakes. Only the friends I met in this Fengyue Field, although they often speak coldly, they only treat him as an ordinary person, and get along with each other from the wishful thinking. So after hearing the words, not only did he not get angry, but smiled and pulled up the wheel and walked out, and said as he walked: "What's the problem? My father and them care about the military affairs. Let's go. Drunk Fang Xiu."
Yulun smiled slightly, and let him pull it out.
