Xie Houguang suspected that Murong Mian was a god, he couldn't guess the task, the feng shui of Laiwu's house was not good, and now he had changed his house, and he didn't see how active he was, but let people buy some sheepskin drums and put them under the porch, and went to the silk village during the day to take a look, like a boss, and ate at night, sat under the porch and beat the drum, and knocked until the dead of night, causing the neighbors to complain, but if someone came to knock on the door, Ning Shiyi and Ning Shijiu were at the door with cold faces, and the people who came were timid, muttering in their mouths, "What kind of drum is the third watch beating in the middle of the night, disturbing the quiet, "Without waiting for an answer from inside, he turned around and left first."

Xie Houguang listened carefully a few times, but he couldn't hear what was knocked, so he asked Murong Mian tentatively, "Master, do you like to beat drums?" ”

"Well," Murong Mian swept his drumstick, "That's what my hobby is." ”

"What kind of song did the master play?"

Murong Mian glanced at him obliquely, didn't speak, raised the drumstick and struck it hard, the drum skin vibrate, "Bang!" Xie Houguang was startled, and if he wanted to ask anything, the drum beat was noisy, and there was no chance for him to speak.

Bai Qianfan got up thirsty in the middle of the night to drink water, lay on the bed after drinking water and did not fall asleep immediately, vaguely heard the sound of drums in the distance, she closed her eyes, unconsciously counted the drums, suddenly her eyelids flicked, turned over and sat up, pricked up her ears and listened carefully, her eyes were still closed, but the corners of her mouth slowly curved, and finally her eyebrows stretched and she laughed happily.

On the afternoon of the second day, the prince came to see her, and when he entered the door, he gave his hand, "Sir is really like a god, the railing on the periphery of that day was indeed tampered with, and the assassin really has accomplices." ”

Bai Qianfan said with a smile, "Then let people check the lists I picked out, and maybe there will be discoveries." ”

The prince said, "Lone has already ordered to go down, and thoroughly investigate the people selected by Mr. to find out the assassins." ”

Bai Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, at least for the time being, they couldn't find Murong Mian's head, remembering the drum sound she heard last night, she said, "Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, government affairs are busy, and the villain is not good to stir up trouble again, so let's go out of the palace." ”

The prince smiled slightly, "Lone invited Mr. to come because I wanted to hear Mr. talk about what he had seen outside, he was busy investigating the case in the past two days, and he couldn't spare time. ”

Bai Qianfan chuckled in his heart, "Prince Meng loves him, and the villain is very honored, but the villain is loose-hearted and not used to staying in one place for a long time, which is really ......."

"Mr. don't worry, although there are many rules in the palace, but here in Lonely, Mr. doesn't have to be restrained, just like usual, the palace is a little stuffy, but there is a way to relieve boredom." After speaking, raise your hand and give high-fives.

An attendant came in, and the prince raised his chin, "Go and prepare the ceremonial music, and I want to accompany the gentleman to enjoy it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness," the attendant bowed and ordered to retreat.

Seeing Bai Qianfan's puzzled look, he smiled and made a gesture, "Sir, please come with Gu." ”

Bai Qianfan and Ning Shisan looked at each other, didn't speak, and followed the prince out of the door, she originally thought that as long as she couldn't find Murong Mian's head for the time being, she would go out of the palace to meet Murong Mian and find a way to leave Belon City, but she didn't expect the prince to let her go.

Coming out of the place where she lived, she turned a big corner and entered a hall, there were several cases on both sides, some snacks and drinks on the case, and a large space was vacant in the middle.

Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, the dancers and musicians rushed in and saluted them, the prince raised his hand, the musicians stepped aside and sat down, and played the strings, the sound of the piano was melodious and long, and the dancers danced with streamers in their hands, stepping and kicking, the streamers were flying, and the movements were neat.

Bai Qianfan watched it with relish, waited for the song to end, smiled, and said, "Seeing this lively scene, the villain is a little itchy." ”

The prince was a little surprised, "Can Mr. dance or play the piano?" ”

Bai Qianfan said, "The villain can beat the drum." ”

The prince immediately clapped his hands and raised his voice, "Lift up the sheepskin drum and let the gentleman have a good time." ”

The sheepskin was lifted up and placed in the center of the hall, Bai Qianfan rubbed his hands, strode to the drum, took off the drumstick, stared at the drum surface, and did not knock it down for a long time.

The prince didn't urge, he looked at her quietly, and there was expectation in his eyes.

The musicians and dancers stood in the corner of the main hall, and they were all waiting for Bai Qianfan to play the drum music.

Bai Qianfan was silent for a long time, and finally raised his arms, and the two drumsticks crossed each other in mid-air, and found a dull sound, which meant that it was about to start, and everyone waited and waited.

The drumsticks fell, once, twice, three, four, five or six, but it was chaotic, there was no rhythm at all, everyone's expressions had a subtle change, although the countries were different, but the rhythm was the same, Bai Qianfan was clearly knocking on the ground, she was the prince's guest, that is, she heard it, and everyone was not good at discussing, so they could only lower their eyebrows and smile.

The prince's expression was surprised at first, and then he couldn't help laughing, and he didn't speak, and when she finished beating the drum, he asked with a smile, "What did the gentleman knock?" ”

After Bai Qianfan finished beating the drum, he looked in a good mood and said, "The villain made it up himself, okay, right?" ”

The prince scratched his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly but politely, "...... Hehe, it's okay. ”

Bai Qianfan said, "If Your Highness thinks it's okay, the villain will beat the drum to His Highness every day in the future." ”

Prince, "......"

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and the villain is good at beating the drum, so it is better to give this drum to the villain."

Prince, "......" is called good at drumming......

"If you can beat the drum from time to time to relieve boredom, it doesn't hurt for the villain to stay in the palace for a few more days."

"Well, this drum will be given to Mr. Yu." ”

Bai Qianfan immediately bowed his hand and thanked him.

The prince gave her the drum in order to keep Bai Qianfan, but she didn't expect that she really liked to beat the drum, and the drum was knocked on as soon as it arrived at her residence, although the East Palace was large, for the convenience of coming and going, he arranged Bai Qianfan's residence not far from his dormitory, and as a result, he was tormented by the noisy sound, and he regretted giving the drum to her very much, and was embarrassed to take it back. What made him even more uncomfortable was that Bai Qianfan not only knocked during the day, but also at night, which made him have a headache when he heard the "dong dong" drum.

Murong Mian waited for two days, and finally heard the sound of drums from the east, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, he moved to the east of the city, and deliberately chose the current residence just because this house was on the edge of the imperial city, and it was closest to the East Palace, he couldn't meet Bai Qianfan for the time being, so he had to find another way.

Bai Qianfan invented a set of drum language in the long and boring years of the deep palace, if he made her angry, she refused to talk to him, so she used drum language to convey, over time, this set of drum language can convey more and more meanings, almost instead of speaking, Murong Mian is also happy to cooperate with her, because this is a secret between him and her, but I didn't expect that one day it can come in such a handy.
