As soon as the girls heard the sound of the piano, they all listened attentively. Although Wei Jing knew that the music was the same and he was far inferior to the Yuqin, he still couldn't help but pay attention to the music together. The melody of Mr. Fu's piano is gentle, neither fast nor slow, and the melody is slow and beautiful. There is nothing profound in it, but it is not a common tune.
Wei Jing guessed that this piece of music was probably composed by Mr. Fu himself. Since no one knew the music, the competition could only be fair.
At this time, one of the girls took the lead and added a few single-note embellishments from time to time to Mr. Fu's main melody. This did not take away the charm of the piano music, but also coincided with the soft charm of the music. It was a more stable method.
When the other girl saw someone making a move, she immediately followed up and added single notes in the same way. However, the tonality was slightly different from the first girl's, and it was more compact. There was a hint of a different approach. The one who just won the first place The girl suddenly felt pressured and felt that her piano sound was gradually diluting and was about to fade out of the music.
Several other girls were secretly troubled when they saw Mr. Fu playing the piano with two girls at the same time. Firstly, when three people were playing at the same time, the music was much fuller than when one person was playing solo, with almost no gaps. Secondly, the music was also more complicated. , how to add accompaniment while maintaining harmony in the music is naturally much more difficult than it was at the beginning.
Wei Jing had also heard the clues in the audience, knowing that the masters were gradually emerging and that the competition was entering the most critical stage. Upstairs, King Shu Zhao was watching the three piano players while sizing up the other girls, as if waiting for something. , the other two princes were a little absent-minded and seemed to have no idea.
When Wei Jing looked at the Yuqin again, her expression was as usual. She was just listening to the three people playing quietly, tapping the body of the instrument with her fingers at the same time, as if silently counting the beats in her heart. Just when Wei Jing felt that it would be difficult to recover if it was too late, Yu The two hands of the piano were swinging, and the melodious music of the piano sounded, and the whole audience looked at him!
Everyone only heard a piece of piano music. The sound was melodious and joyful. The music was complete and unique. It seemed to be singing in harmony with Mr. Fu's piano music, turning the music into two parallel main themes. At the same time, Yuqin entered the game. The timing was perfect, and the other two girls' piano sounds immediately seemed to be accompanying Yuqin and Mr. Fu, becoming unquestionable supporting roles.
The other girls saw that the elm qin could still play new tunes in the music with almost no gaps, and it complemented Mr. Fu's music, adding more charm. This miraculous qin skill made them feel inferior, and it was already in their hearts. Defaults to failure.
At this time, upstairs in Yise, the two princes were affected by the entry of Yuqin and finally began to listen to the piano attentively. King Shu Zhao seemed to be quite satisfied when he saw Yuqin playing, as if he had finally waited for the scene he was looking forward to, and then... He frowned and sat thoughtfully on his seat.
On the other side, Wei Jing saw that Yuqin finally took action at the critical moment, and his performance could be said to be killing everyone. He was both proud and excited. After listening to it carefully, although the melody of this song was created to match Mr. Fu's piano music, But the connotation is similar to "The Qin and the Sword depend on each other", except that the Yuqin plays "sword" instead of "qin".
There is no suspense at this point in the competition. On the stage, Yuqin and Mr. Fu are like musicians who have been working together for many years. The remaining two girls know that they can only add sporadic embellishments to this piece, but they can only bite the bullet and continue playing, while other stages The girl on top was even more powerless to do anything, while the onlookers quietly enjoyed the harmonious music of piano and sword.
When the song ended, the crowd cheered loudly, and the three princes also stood up and applauded. Mr. Fu and the girls on the stage saluted the crowd and the princes, and then each left the stage and waited for the result.
After some time, Xue Jian came on stage again and said to everyone: "The three princes have just selected the qualified girls. Later, we will invite those whose names are read to come forward and enter the Yise Building with Xue. "
Xue Jian then looked at the book in his hand and read out the names of thirteen girls in one breath. Yuqin's pseudonym "Liuyin" was also among them. In the last piano battle just now, the two girls who played accompaniment were also selected at the same time.
When Wei Jing saw this, he gently held Yu Qin's hand, and Yu Qin nodded to him, indicating that there was no need to worry, and then walked into Yise Building with the girls.
Since among the three princes, Prince Xian's Mansion was the closest to this place, Prince Liang Xian took the girls back to the Prince's Mansion first, and then sent them to the capital at a selected date. Wei Jing and He Wanci were around the Yise Building to confirm that the girls were brought to the palace by Liang Xian. After the king's men and horses were transported, he asked He Wanci and others to go to Anlu first and wait around Prince Xian's Mansion.
Wei Jing followed quietly behind the motorcade. Although he had already made arrangements for the future, Yu Qin had sneaked into the palace alone. Wei Jing was inevitably uneasy and secretly prayed that everything would go smoothly.
After Yuqin entered Yiselou, she soon got into the carriage with the people from the palace. Although the girls in the car were selected, they were about to enter the palace, so they were inevitably uneasy. Seeing that there was nothing going on, Yuqin and the sisters in the car Let's talk and talk about the selection meeting just now to relieve everyone's tense atmosphere.
King Xian of Liang's motorcade moved forward in this way, and finally arrived at Prince Xian's Mansion in Anlu. On the way, an official told the girls that they were expected to stay at the Prince's Mansion for a while, and then go to the capital when everything was ready.
During this period, Yuqin was staying in Prince Xian's Mansion. During this period, if Prince Xian of Liang had guests visiting, he would ask several newly acquired girls to perform for fun, and Yuqin was naturally among them. When you have free time, observe which guests King Liang Xian usually has and what suspicious elements there are in the palace.
Since the girls were going to be presented to the emperor, they would be properly protected before being sent to the capital. Wei Jing also recognized this and dared to let Yuqin sneak into the palace with confidence.
At this time, it had been more than ten days since Yuqin entered the palace, and he had also recorded many guests of the palace, as well as people who were in the palace but obviously did not belong to the palace.
That night she saw an envelope in her room. Although there was no signature on it, it exuded a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. Yuqin knew that the time had come, so she immediately wrote a reply and put it back where it was, waiting for the right opportunity to act.
Three days later, in the dead of night, two palace guards were about to take over their shift when they found an envelope on a beam in the front yard. One of the guards took the letter off and looked at it, and was surprised to see the letter read: " Prince Xian of Liang personally announced that we, the righteous men of Chengyun Village, thanks to the gift of the prince, united with the evil people such as Tianji Pavilion and Zangyuting to drive out our village and kill them all in the battle of Jingshan the day before yesterday. I have traveled thousands of miles from Jiuquan to return home, and within ten days, when the sun is setting, I will take your life in the palace."
After the two guards read the contents of the letter, they were so frightened that they lost all sleep. They quickly submitted the letter to the senior figures in the palace and asked the superiors to make a decision. In less than a quarter of an hour, the letter was delivered to a man named Wei Congxian, who was the manager of Prince Xian's Mansion and the right-hand man of Prince Xian of Liang.
A few days ago, Wei Jing asked the diners of the Sima family to first investigate who were the important people around the three princes, and what the three princes' respective evaluations were among the people. At that time, Wei Congxian was regarded as an important target by Wei Jing, because all the actions in Prince Xian's palace , he may be the person who knows it best, especially King Xian of Liang.
Wei Congxian had already planned to go to bed. At this time, his subordinates hurriedly handed over a letter and asked him to read it. Wei Congxian didn't know why, but seeing the panic of his subordinates, he still decided to act cautiously and pass the letter to him. He took it and read it once. After reading it, Wei Congxian frowned and didn't say a word. Seeing that he was silent, the subordinates didn't dare to ask more questions, so they had to stand aside to accompany him in shock.
After a while, Wei Congxian came back to his senses. He seemed to have some calculations in his mind. He ordered his subordinates to get pen and paper, edit a letter, and give it to someone. Soon after, the subordinate hurriedly left the palace and walked towards the palace. The forest path to the east.
At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was still late at night. A slender figure jumped down from the roof and followed quietly behind the person in the palace.
Early the next morning, Wei Congxian and his four followers hurried eastward. After a while, they came to a remote pavilion in the forest. There were three men in the pavilion, one was sitting and the other two were standing behind him. , all three of them were dressed in simple civilian clothes.
As soon as Wei Congxian sat down, he took out the letter he received last night, handed it to the person sitting there, and said: "Zhanru, this is the letter someone placed in the palace last night. Take a look at it. I just want to know about this." Let several important people in the palace know about it to prevent trouble before it happens, the prince doesn’t know about it yet.”
The man called "Zhan Ru" took the letter, read it carefully and said: "Except for Jiang Xiaoxiang, no one in Chengyun Village was spared. They all died on Jingshan Mountain. This is our personal Confirmed.”
