Chapter Forty-Seven: The Soldier's Chess Moves Shocks
After Mu Qianmei and her father's moonlit night conversation, the distance between father and daughter has narrowed a lot.
In the ensuing relationship, the more Yun Zhonghe understood Mu Qianmei, the more surprised he became, in addition to the fact that this daughter looked like her mother, her artistic feeling was even better.
What's even more strange is that her miscellaneous knowledge, as if she knows everything and knows everything, and her insights are very insightful, constantly stimulating the weak nerves of the crane in the clouds, this daughter is too powerful!
Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo always had a lively expression, thinking that they also came from this stage back then.
Compared with Mu Qianmei, who was seventeen years old at this time, she would be more surprised at that time.
In getting along with each other day by day, Mu Qianmei felt that Yun Zhonghe's literary talent was indeed very good, writing poems and paintings, playing and singing rhythms, all of which were his hobbies and specialties.
He is an excellent artist, but he doesn't seem to be suitable for running a country!
However, Mu Qianmei also enjoyed this strong fatherly love and family happiness, they just made some arrangements and deployments, and then lived a relatively peaceful life.
Don't show your head or make your movements too big so as not to arouse suspicion.
However, there are no impermeable walls in the world.
After many investigations and speculations, the Eastern Qin State still set its sights on the beggars.
There are three reasons for suspicion:
First, Mu Qianmei, the young lady of the beggar gang who had been missing for seven years, came back on the eve of the robbery of the crane in the clouds, and came back with a graceful and handsome young man.
Second, Mu Qianmei's surname is Mu, and the ancestor of the crane in the cloud is also surnamed Mu, so there may be a kinship.
Third, the headquarters of the beggar gang has recently secretly strengthened its defense, and the men and horses of each branch are secretly mobilizing, and it seems that they are making some deployments.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also some other doubts, such as Mu Qianmei has rarely stepped out of the beggar headquarters recently, and the academy is also making some strange adjustments, and it seems that she is forming a team.
Therefore, the Eastern Qin State sent an envoy to visit the Northern Han Dynasty, led by Prime Minister Wei Xiaohan himself.
During Wei Xiaohan's visit to the Northern Han Dynasty, he proposed to visit the headquarters of Lingyin Academy, but of course the Northern Han Dynasty had no opinions, so he arranged this trip.
After visiting Lingyin Academy, Wei Xiaohan said that he was going to visit his old friend Ouyang Bo at the headquarters of the Beggars Gang, and he was successfully agreed.
When Wei Xiaohan and his entourage came to the headquarters of the Beggar Gang, Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo led the high-level leaders of the Beggar Gang together, and they had been waiting in line at the mouth of the Maple Forest Valley for a long time.
Wei Xiaohan, Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo are all old acquaintances, and it is inevitable to greet each other when they meet.
Especially Wei Xiaohan and Ouyang Bo, they are both knowledgeable literati, they used to regard each other as confidants, they have a lot of common language, and they all cherish each other.
It's just that Ouyang Bo doesn't like to be restrained and doesn't want to be an official in the court, but Wei Xiaohan became the prime minister of the big country in Eastern Qin, so they gradually became estranged.
After welcoming Wei Xiaohan and his entourage into the headquarters of the beggar gang, they were basically accompanied by Ouyang Bo by Wei Xiaohan's side.
Two knowledgeable people together, talking and laughing, chatting very speculatively.
The banquet was held at the headquarters of the beggars.
It was also the most unique visit ever.
It was already ridiculous enough for the country's visiting delegation to go to the gangs in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that even the banquet was set up at the headquarters of the beggar gang.
At the banquet, Wei Xiaohan said with a smile:
"I heard that Miss Mu Qianmei, who is a beggar gang, is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also a genius in music and rhythm since she was a child, and she plays the guqin with one hand is superb, but I don't know if I am lucky enough to listen to it with my own ears, and it is worth the trip."
"Haha...... I didn't expect this to be known even to the Eastern Qin Kingdom, so it seems that Miss Fluttershy is really famous! However, whether she can play a song or not, it is still necessary to ask her own opinion! I'll send someone to tell her. ”
Ouyang Bo said with a smile.
It was not long before the men who had sent him came back and said:
"Miss Yun said that she could play a song for the guests from Dongqin behind the curtain."
Although Wei Xiaohan was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but said with a natural smile:
"Wei is deeply honored!"
I heard that I was going to listen to Mu Qianmei play the guqin, and the huge banquet hall quickly quieted down.
Immediately, the sound of the piano came from inside the door curtain.
Mu Qianmei chose a famous song "Mountains and Flowing Water" in her previous life to play-
When the piano first starts, it is played at a slow speed with scattered notes, and the musical atmosphere is quiet and distant, which makes people feel peaceful, as if they are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and enter a beautiful artistic conception.
Many people can't help but close their eyes slightly, and the expression of intoxication on their faces seems to be undergoing a baptism of the soul.
Immediately afterwards, the melody jumps over a wide vocal range, changing its pitch, and the melody is sometimes soothing, sometimes rapid, making the listener feel as if he has seen the top of a high mountain, surrounded by clouds.
After a while, the melody changed again, and the clear overtones were like a cold current in the secluded world, making the listener feel cold, like a trickle of pine roots, expressing the joy of listening to the slow flow of water in the deep mountains and forests.
The continuous, singing melody is like a trickle of spring water.
This rhyme is melodious, like flowing water.
Then it switched to a large portamento, like a waterfall flowing, merging into a rolling river and sea.
The melody turns to a large upward and downward sliding, as if you can see the waves in the torrent and the waves in the splash.
The movement in the music is grasped just right, so that the music vividly depicts the flowing water "extremely boiling and surging, with the image of a dragon roaring", so that the audience seems to "sit on a dangerous boat across the Wu Gorge, dizzy, thrilling, only suspect that this body has been rushing to the mountains, when thousands of ravines are contending." ”
After a series of overtones that descend first and then rise in the high register, the river is no longer so turbulent, but "the light boat has passed, and the momentum is wandering, sometimes the aftermath is rocky, sometimes the melody is faint." ”
When Mu Qianmei's fingers were faster and stronger in terms of speed and strength than before, the music was more exciting than before, expressing her enthusiasm for the beautiful mountains and rivers.
People look far away, the smoke is vast, and the heart is relaxed.
The song "Mountains and Flowing Water" is vivid and magnificent, which makes the listener intoxicated and the listener obsessed.
Mu Qianmei's music has stopped for a long time, but the people at the entire banquet are still intoxicated and haven't come back to their senses for a long time.
Even Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo, who have been getting along every day recently, heard this song for the first time.
It was Ouyang Bo who reacted first, and couldn't help but ask with a smile:
"Prime Minister Wei, how is this song?"
"It's really exquisite, this song should only be in the sky, it is rare to hear it in the world, and it is better than a legend to hear it with your own ears!"
Wei Xiaohan couldn't help but admire.
"Then dare to ask Prime Minister Wei, what kind of artistic conception does this song express?"
Ouyang Bo asked with a smile.
"It stirs up as if you are in a high mountain, relaxed and happy, open-minded; The soothing place, and the ocean is like a river, this song must be related to the landscape! ”
Wei Xiaohan replied slowly.
"Huh...... I feel that way too! Ouyang Bo replied with a smile.
Ouyang Bo immediately ordered someone to inquire and asked if this piece was related to landscapes?
After a while, the man returned, and this song was called "Mountains and Flowing Water".
Ouyang Bo and Wei Xiaohan couldn't help but look at each other and smile, they were right.
After the banquet was over, Wei Xiaohan asked for a game of chess with Ouyang Bo.
Since Mu Qianmei invented chess here, it quickly became popular throughout the Yugu Continent.
Whether it is the lord of the temple, the civil and military officials, or the masters, ordinary people, they are all deeply obsessed with playing chess.
I can't help but admire, between this square inch, there is a hidden mystery, and the ever-changing chess game always makes people linger and indulge in it.
Ouyang Bo is tired of playing chess, and he is also very studied, so he readily agreed.
The guests were also full of curiosity, what kind of situation would it be for two masters to play against each other?
So, when the chess game was set, the two began to compete.
Ouyang Bo's chess style is steady and step-by-step.
Wei Xiaohan is pressing step by step, and he prefers to attack.
After a hard fight, the two chess opponents did not take any advantage.
When it comes to the endgame, they play very slowly, and they often ponder for a long time without moving a chess piece.
When Wei Xiaohan was thinking about a chess move, he couldn't help but sigh with a pun:
"The world is like chess, Brother Ouyang, if you make a wrong step, every step will be wrong!"
"Prime Minister Wei Cheng's wonderful words, this is very reasonable, just play chess, you have to think twice before you act, so you won't make mistakes!" Ouyang Bo also replied-for-tat.
"Hey...... People in the court are also involuntarily. This game is already difficult to distinguish between winners and losers, how about a draw? ”
"Huh...... The fun of playing chess is in the endgame, so let's finish it! ”
Ouyang Bo replied with a smile.
The conversation between the two is a pun.
Wei Xiaohan persuaded the beggars not to meddle in the state affairs of the Eastern Qin State, and made peace.
Ouyang Bo politely refused and did not agree.
It means that each is its own master, and there is no right to give up, so he can only continue to "play" and finish the endgame until the winner is decided.
Wei Xiaohan couldn't help sighing, and continued to pick up the chess pieces, pressing step by step.
Ouyang Bo always worked step by step, defending tightly, blocking Wei Xiaohan's fierce attacks again and again.
This is the same chess, the level of masters and ordinary enthusiasts is different, every time the chess is in a desperate situation, Ouyang Bo can turn the danger into a disaster, so that the chess game is full of twists.
Several sharp attacks were fruitless, and Wei Xiaohan was already a little impatient.
Playing chess is a state of mind.
First of all, if you can't hold your breath, you will be in a mess.
Wei Xiaohan was careless, and the chess was missing, and he turned into passive defense.
Ouyang Bo is still not in a hurry or impatient, as light as a breeze, and he moves calmly and calmly, as if everything is under control.
But Wei Xiaohan became more and more difficult to resist, emotionally unstable, and his chess moves became more messy.
was careless, and was finally forced to a dead end by Ouyang Bo.
Ouyang Bo, a general, calmly settled the situation.
"Brother Ouyang raised chess and shook the storm, and the son cried ghosts and gods. It's not your opponent! Although Wei Xiaohan was unwilling, he still praised and said.
"Brother Xiaohan has an overreputation, it's just a fluke, don't take it to heart."
Ouyang Bo replied so indifferently, looking very modest.
