The prince's personal bodyguard

Soon, a servant brought Lin Feiyang's guzheng. Bai Xinyin looked at the panel and materials and knew it was a good guzheng, made by a famous artist and worth a lot of money.

Bai Xiyin often went to charity performances with her classmates in modern times, and she always brought the guzheng. Why not the guqin? First, the guqin generally has only seven strings, a narrow range, and a very low volume, which is suitable for expressing a quiet, distant, and ethereal state of mind. It belongs to "refined music" and is more suitable for literati and scholars.

Bai Xinyin also often plays the guqin in Yaowang Valley, where the environment is quiet and peaceful, and birds and rabbits are frequent visitors.

The guzheng has a relatively large volume, short reverberation, clear sound, and sonorous and powerful playing. It has the characteristics of expressing one's feelings directly and causing resonance. It is more suitable for the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of ordinary people, so it tends to be more secular and more suitable for public performances. It belongs to "folk music" and is widely used among the people.

Performing outdoors is noisy. There are many shouts and hawking near the stage. If you play the ancient guqin piece "High Mountain and Flowing Water", will it flow to the place where people are selling candied haws or fried skewers? It's not elegant, and the atmosphere is not good.

Therefore, when playing the guqin, people usually do it for their own amusement. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem “The Pavilion in the Bamboo Grove”: “Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo forest, playing the guqin and whistling”. People in the deep forest don’t know that the moon will take care of them. Bai Juyi also wrote in his poem “Night Guqin”: “I play it by myself and stop by myself, and I don’t want anyone to listen.” It means that I just need to cultivate myself, and you guys, don’t listen.

Guzheng pleases people, while guqin pleases oneself.

Just now, Lin Wan'er had played the famous guqin piece "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms" with the "Raoliang" instrument, and she played it very well. There was no need for me to follow suit. Besides, I was not familiar with the instrument and could not control it well, which would only backfire.

Bai Xinyin walked to the guzheng, checked the pegs, and stretched out her right hand. She heard a "bang bang bang, bang bang bang" sound, and then she scratched it a few times and sang a song "Two Tigers" while playing: "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast, one has no tail, and one has no ears, how strange, how strange!"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

"My Lord, did you break the tiger's leg?"

"My Lord, what if you are paralyzed by the tiger? How can you run fast?"

…………

Some people started to make a fuss.

Lin Wan'er's smile looked so harmless.

The princess looked relaxed and just looked at Bai Xinyin with a smile.

Princess Jialan widened her eyes: You must be responsible for the grass I choose?

Bai Xiyin was just tuning the instrument and testing the strings without blinking. Suddenly, the sound of the zither changed, and slender fingers quickly plucked the strings, and beautiful notes flowed out like flowing water. In an instant, the world was silent.

At first, the sound of the piano was slow, like a sign of impending storm, gradually filling the air with heroic spirit. As the melody rose and fell, the music reached its climax. The high notes, which rose one after another, were like waves of emotional ups and downs, and like a long and heartfelt howl at the fleeting and vicissitudes of life, stirring up indescribable heroic spirit.

My sword, where to go, love and hate, it is hard to be alone;

My knife cuts through the sky, I understand right and wrong;

I am drunk, everything is hazy, gratitude and resentment are illusions and emptiness;

I woke up from a spring dream, life and death, everything is empty;

Bai Xiyin's voice was wide, mellow and loud, and she sang along softly. Gradually, everyone heard the sound of the flute in the zither. The flute player had a strong inner strength, which not only sent the sound into everyone's eardrums, but also made the music fuller, more majestic and soul-stirring.

Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this, and those who had just made a fuss were stunned. Dugu Feng stood up, and Princess Jia Lan stared at Bai Xinyin with her eyes fixed: My grass is really a good grass!

With a clang, "Wind Shadow Prince" Simo Chen drew his sword. He was dressed in red and dancing in the wind, his sword pierced the sky, so cool that people couldn't take their eyes off him!

The sounds of flute and zither harmonize with each other, and the shadows of swords fly up and down, confusing people's minds and blinding their eyes!

The song "Swords Like Dreams" played by Bai Xinyin gave the feeling of thousands of horses galloping.

Domineering, gripping and shocking!

"A wild laugh, a long sigh,

A happy life, a sad life,

Who will live and die with me?

Who will live and die with me?"

Bai Xinyin sang the last few lines of the lyrics along with the music, the sound of the zither stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.

For a long time, the applause was deafening!

"Great, what a great line 'Who will share life and death with me?' Hahaha, so refreshing and satisfying!" General Huyan was the first to cheer.

"I can't describe it in words. I seem to see the soldiers defending our country!" The speaker's voice was a little excited.

"Domineering! The Marquis is domineering!" The few people who had been making a fuss just now changed their previous tone.

"My Lord, you are so powerful! My Lord, you are so powerful!" Fengjiu and A'dai shouted together.

"We are lucky enough to see Master Fengying dancing with a sword again. When we go back to practice cursive calligraphy, we will reach a higher level. Hahahaha..."

"Was it Prince Rong who played the flute himself just now?" asked the Second Prince. Mu Yunxiao nodded. Everyone was only paying attention to Zheng Yin and Si Mochen's sword dance and no one was paying attention to this side.

"Today's music is the best song of all time." The Second Prince said. Everyone knows that the Second Prince is good at music and has done a lot of research in this area. "It is a great honor to hear the prince's flute sound."

Dugu Feng looked at Bai Xinyin with even more fiery eyes. The princess smiled widely, while someone looked unhappy and walked away angrily.

From then on, Dongcheng Hou became famous with this song.

A spectator wrote a poem to praise this scene: "Watching the Dongcheng Hou Dance the Zither on the 28th"

The Yao Zheng’s song is magnificent and majestic.

The sound is full of pleasure and the music is created by wonderful fingers.

The sound of the flute reaches the sky, the shadow of the wind and the bright moon.

The sword dance is so beautiful that silence is better than sound.

This matter became a hot topic in Kyoto.

Bai Xinyin nodded to Chao Yunxiao, bowed to thank Lin Feiyang for the zither, and walked towards Mu Yunxiao with a smile.

"My Lord, wait a minute." Lin Feiyang shouted from behind, "Excuse me, what song was played just now? Can you write down the music score and the lyrics that the Lord sang just now for me?"

"I have the same idea." The second prince said hastily, wanting to hitch a ride.

Prime Minister Lin looked unhappy and glanced at his eldest son: "Look at your achievements!" He turned around and toasted Dugu Feng.

"The song is called 'Swords Like Dreams'. It was not written by me, but I can write down a copy for you. You can pass it around and copy it." In order to thank Lin Feiyang for playing the guzheng just now, I will write a copy.

"Okay, thank you, Lord!" Lin Feiyang bowed. This young man was very polite, and Bai Xinyin had a good impression of him.

Everyone had no interest in the following song and dance and were discussing the music that had just been played.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Lin Feiyang prepared the best ink and rice paper and asked Bai Xinyin to write the music and lyrics. He told the servant to wait for the collection and went to greet the guests.

After Bai Xinyin finished writing, she placed it on the table and asked someone to copy a copy for the Second Prince. Then she and the Prince said goodbye and returned home.

Just as he reached the gate of the Prime Minister's residence, a servant came running over: "My Lord, please wait! My Lord, please wait!"

Bai Xinyin turned around, what happened?

"You should go and have a look. The Second Prince and my eldest son are about to fight because of the music score and lyrics you left behind." The visitor was panting.

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Bai Xinyin motioned Mu Yuanxiao to go and take a look together.

Ah Dai said, "It's hot, let's go eat melons together."

Si Mochen, Fengjiu, and A-Dai also went back to watch the fun.
