Chapter 21: A song that changes the world
In the manor of Wang Siqi, the Protector of Qixia Mountain.
"Disciple pays respect to the teacher!"
"Your Highness, please stand up quickly."
If Zhang San was here, he would be surprised to find that the young man called the prince by Mr. Wang was the handsome young man who asked him questions before.
...
In a hidden mansion somewhere along the coast.
Several people are plotting something.
"Mr. Yamamoto, the purpose of this operation is to assassinate the prince and create the illusion that the King of Wu colluded with the Japanese to harm the prince. Do you understand?"
"Hey!" Yamamoto bowed his head and said yes.
"Yoshi, the Shenlong Church cooperates with your actions." The black shadow continued.
"The ronin of the Yamato nation does not need the cooperation of others." Yamamoto said arrogantly.
"This matter is of great importance. The emperor of Dashun sent righteous men from the rivers and lakes to protect the prince.
The Shenlong Church will help you hold back those people from the rivers and lakes.
If you still can't kill the prince, then you will all die, do you understand?" The black shadow said coldly.
Yamamoto broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, and hurriedly bowed deeply again and said, "Hai!"
"You can leave first." The black shadow said.
Yamamoto retreated step by step as if he had been pardoned.
Then a hunched figure walked out of the darkness, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Master, are the Japanese reliable?"
"I know what you are worried about." The black shadow called the master said slowly.
"What I need is not a reliable thug, but a thorn, a thorn between the old emperor and the King of Wu."
After saying that, the corner of the black shadow's mouth rose, and then he said: "If those Japanese can really assassinate the prince, the court will be in chaos. Then, it will be our chance."
The hunched figure bowed and said, "Master is smart."
The black shadow showed a proud smile.
...
Qixia Mountain.
"So, the teacher also highly respects Huo Chenan?" Prince Tu Wenyuan asked in surprise.
"Not just praise, but admiration. The invention of the waterwheel alone can benefit millions of people in Dashun." Old Wang said in an unquestionable tone.
The prince is now more and more curious about Huo Chenan. He has never seen the teacher give such a high evaluation to anyone, even the Hanlin scholars in the court have not received such an evaluation from the teacher.
As he spoke, Old Wang took out two pieces of paper and handed them to the prince.
The prince took it and found that there were two poems on it, which were "Jiangjinjiu" and "Short Song".
He read it carefully, and the next moment he couldn't help but applaud.
"Good poems, good poems, one is heroic and free, and the other is ambitious, both are masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages."
"Wine Immortal?" He looked at the signature of the poem and asked in confusion: "Is this Wine Immortal a pseudonym for the teacher?"
"It was not done by me, but by Huo Chenan." Old Wang told His Royal Highness the prince what happened truthfully.
The prince was shocked again. One of the songs was written casually when he was drunk, and the other was written specifically for selling wine. Is this person really so talented?
"I am old, and the court needs young power." Old Wang said leisurely.
...
Huo Chenan was speechless now. Not only could he not drive away Xier, the 3,600-watt light bulb, but now there was also a 4,000-watt Tu Jiajia, followed by a string of LED lamp beads.
"Hey, you thief God, I didn't want to do anything, just holding hands and telling my heart, why is it so difficult?" Huo Chenan was thinking about it. Then he heard Tu Jiajia say:
"Sister, I have to visit the elders at home today, and I will go to Su Mansion to play with you another day."
Su Ruyi happily promised: "I will ask Brother Chenan to prepare delicious food for me at that time."
Tu Jiajia turned around meaningfully and glanced at the little servant in the green hat. He looked at him and found that he looked like a little man.
"Then it's a deal."
After saying goodbye to Tu Jiajia, it was getting late. Huo Chenan had no choice but to take Su Ruyi back to Jinling. They would go to the Qinhuai River to take a pleasure boat in the evening.
...
As the sky darkened, lanterns were hung on the brothels and taverns on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
Countless pleasure boats shuttled across the sparkling Qinhuai River. The large and small pleasure boats symbolized the status of the owner of the pleasure boat. The larger the pleasure boat, the higher the status of the owner.
The Su family's pleasure boat was just a small pleasure boat, which was usually used by the young men and women of the Su family for fun. It didn't need to be so big.
At this time, Huo Chenan and Su Ruyi stood on the railing on the pleasure boat, admiring the night view of the river, the lights and the houses, as if everything was so beautiful.
"Brother Chenan, let's play another song together."
"Okay! But I didn't bring any instruments today." Huo Chenan said.
"There are some in the pleasure boat. Usually, when my brothers and sisters come to the pleasure boat, they will prepare some musical instruments for entertainment." Su Ruyi said.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go find the musical instruments." Huo Chenan hurried to the inside of the pleasure boat to find the musical instruments.
After searching through the boxes and cabinets, Huo Chenan finally found the Xiao and Qin. Of course, Huo Chenan also had an unexpected gain. He also found a book of pornographic pictures that he didn't know which young master had lost.
He sneered at these dross, so he decisively put it in his arms and prepared to critically examine it at night.
Back on the deck, he helped Su Ruyi tune the piano, and the two of them played a song "Fresh and Universal Good Mantra" again.
The passionate music floated on the Qinhuai River. Countless people on both sides of the river were attracted by the beautiful piano music, and countless people on the pleasure boat in the river were also intoxicated by the beautiful piano music.
