Chapter 159: Trapped by Love

Xie Jinhou was timid by nature, and he was very obedient along the way. He did not dare to have any thoughts, for fear that if he was not careful, he would arouse the suspicion of Ling Xuzi and others and he would be severely beaten.

In this way, the group of people lived in peace on the road and headed towards Prince Xin's Mansion without any haste. They walked slowly along the way. With the help of Ling Xuzi, Lord Grim's injuries were basically healed.

After about three or four days, everyone finally came to the vicinity of the palace. They planned to rest for another day. After the fatigue of running around all day was relieved, they looked for an opportunity to send the letter into the palace.

They found an inn to stay, ordered some food and drink, and then rested.

Xie Jinhou was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he always sat in a carriage when traveling, so how could he have endured the hardships of running around all day, this time he finally arrived at his destination, and ate wildly in the inn.

When Ling Xuzi and others were drinking together, they suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from upstairs. The sound was very soft, and they were obviously only not far apart, but they had a vague feeling.

Lord Grim and Xu Ying practiced martial arts since they were young, so they didn't know the slightest bit of rhythm, so they didn't care too much when they heard the piano.

Only Ling Xuzi's heart moved, and he listened intently, for a while, he didn't even respond to the wine that Lord Grim handed over.Under Lord Grim's reminder, he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I was fascinated by the sound of the zither just now, so I punish myself with a drink."

Jun Mo smiled and said: "Brother He still knows the rhythm?"

Ling Xuzi scratched his head and prevaricated: "My master taught me something when I was young."

What Ling Xuzi said was lying, but Xianyunzi did like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and often taught his two apprentices, but they didn't learn it.

Xu Ying interrupted: "Brother He, is there anything special about the sound of the piano?"

Ling Xuzi shook his head and said: "I can't say it's special, but just listening to the sound of the piano, I think of a person."

Xu Ying was already smart and had a lot in common with Ling Xuzi. At this time, Ling Xuzi only said this, and she immediately understood and asked, "Did Brother He mean Chu Tiankuo?"

Ling Xuzi was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Xu Ying to be able to guess what he was thinking.

During the Huashan Sword Discussion, Lord Grim did not participate because of the affairs of the Beggar Clan. Naturally, he didn't know who this "Kunlun Ranger" was at this time, so it was not easy to intervene. He just listened to the discussion between the two of them.

Xu Ying shook his head and said: "Although I don't know the melody very well, Chu Tiankuo always looks sad, and the tunes he plays are always sad and melodious, and this tune is unrestrained and enthusiastic, not like his tunes. It's windy."

Ling Xuzi nodded slowly. In fact, Xu Ying was right. This tune really sounds very enthusiastic, and it is definitely not like the music that Chu Tiankuo can play.

But Ling Xuzi was interested in music when he was a student, and he also focused on consulting a lot of Guqin information, and listened to many famous Guqin pieces.

At this time, the song from upstairs was also one he had heard before. It started with a subtle and lingering feeling, and then turned into a passionate one—it was the famous song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

But such a touching and loving piece of music, in the hands of this person, added a sense of melancholy. Ling Xuzi really suspected that the person playing the piano upstairs was the Chu Tiankuo who was sad all day long.

At this time, two people dressed as officials came down from the upstairs cursingly, and shouted as they walked: "This man comes here to play the piano every day, and he has been warned so many times. He doesn't listen. It seems that he has to give him a hard time." taste!"

Another person also echoed: "That's right, he knows some evil martial arts and really thinks he is invincible! A toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't urinate to look after himself..."

The two of them walked away cursing like this. Ling Xuzi and Xu Ying looked at each other and felt that something was fishy. From what they said, the person upstairs was probably Chu Tiankuo.

So Ling Xuzi forcibly pulled up Xie Jinhou who was devouring, and everyone went upstairs together.

On the second floor, I saw a man sitting in a corner with his Yaoqin in his arms. With a touch of his hand, the sound of the piano could be heard continuously.

And this man has a skinny and yellow face, shiny white hair, and a white coat with Yulin bells written all over it with a brush. He is Chu Tiankuo, the Kunlun Ranger.

Ling Xuzi and Xu Ying had seen this man's temperament when they were discussing swords in Huashan, as long as he was playing the piano, no matter what you said to him, he would not pay attention.

So everyone simply moved all the food and wine up, and drank quietly to the sound of Chu Tiankuo's piano.

Only the sound of Chu Tiankuo's zither became softer, but the obsessive and provocative meaning in the tune became more and more obvious, and his unique sadness gradually emerged.

Ling Xuzi had only heard the sad and melodious sound of his piano music before, but she didn't know why he was so sad. But this time after hearing his song and the sad "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", Ling Xuzi also vaguely knew that he was moved by love. hurt.

It's just that Ling Xuzi has never had a relationship experience, and it's hard to imagine why love can make a person so sad.

"I'm afraid Brother Chu is a sentimental person." Ling Xuzi thought.

Finally, Chu Tiankuo stroked the strings lightly and the song ended. Then he opened his eyes, recovered from his intoxication, and saw Xu Ying and Ling Xuzi. He cupped his hands and said, "Nvxia Xu, Shaoxia He, you are well."

Ling Xuzi and Xu Ying also bowed their hands to him. After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Xuzi invited Chu Tiankuo to share a drink with him. Chu Tiankuo did not refuse, he just put the piano in his hand and sat beside everyone.

Ling Xuzi then introduced Jun Mo Xiao and Chu Tiankuo to each other. Jun Mo Xiao held up a bowl of wine and said respectfully: "Jun has been wandering around the world, and I have heard that masters can activate internal energy from musical instruments and use music as a tool." Weapons and people fight, I didn’t expect to see him today, it’s really a pleasure to meet him!”

Chu Tiankuo was not good at words, and he didn't know the politeness in Jun Moxiao's words, so he just sighed in self-concern: "Alas! The world is like this, so what's the use of knowing martial arts?"

Ling Xuzi felt helpless in his heart, this Chu Tiankuo always looked like this, no matter what other people said to him, he could always make use of the topic and express his sadness regardless of the time.

Fortunately, Lord Grim had some guesses about his character after seeing his appearance, and he also had an open-minded and easy-going personality, so he didn't feel displeased to see him like this.

Ling Xuzi hurriedly picked up a bowl of wine, drank with Chu Tiankuo, and then asked: "Brother Chu, who were those two just now, and why were they so dissatisfied with you?"

Chu Tiankuo lamented: "Oh, it's a long story. They are the eagle dogs in Prince Xin's palace. They are always dissatisfied with my playing the piano. They have been here every day for seven days to chase me away, but they dare not fight with me."

Ling Xuzi thought it was strange, since those two dared not fight Chu Tiankuo, what did they mean by giving him a hard time?
So Ling Xuzi asked again: "Then why didn't they ask you to play the piano here?"

Chu Tiankuo sighed, "It's just because I played it for a girl."

Ling Xuzi's conjecture was confirmed. Chu Tiankuo really had someone in his heart and was hurt by love.

Xu Ying couldn't help smiling, but his tone was yearning: "Chu Shaoxia is really infatuated, and he played the piano here for seven days in a row."

Ling Xuzi was puzzled, it was just playing the piano for a girl, and it had nothing to do with the people in Prince Xin's mansion, so he couldn't help asking: "Which girl did Brother Chu play for?"

Chu Tiankuo said sadly, "Her name is Hua Chenluo."
