Chapter 199: Bird in a Cage, Zhao Guo is About to Perish!

"Profound Heaven Pavilion Lord..."

After leaving Kuang Xiu's place, Nong Yu said to Su Xuan.

"Are you asking who Gao Gao Jianli is?"

Su Xuan knew what Nong Yu was thinking and directly stated the question in her heart.

Nong Yu nodded. When Su Xuan mentioned the name Gao Gao Jianli earlier, she saw the change in Kuang Xiu's expression, and Kuang Xiu also admitted that Gao Gao Jianli was the only person in the world who could play "High Mountains and Flowing Water" with him.

"High Mountains and Flowing Water" was a famous song passed down through the ages, created by Bo Ya and Zhong Zhong Ziqi. When the two met, it could be said that they met a soulmate, so much so that after Zhong Zhong Ziqi died, Bo Ya lost his soulmate, broke his zither, cut his strings, and never played again for the rest of his life.

Kuang Xiu admitted earlier that only Gao Gao Jianli could play "High Mountains and Flowing Water" with him in the world. Besides Gao Gao Jianli's profound attainments in music, there was probably another purpose, that is, in Kuang Xiu's view, Gao Gao Jianli was his soulmate.

This was also the reason why Nong Yu's zither skills were superb, but she was still considered by Kuang Xiu as not yet able to play "High Mountains and Flowing Water" with him.

Because in Kuang Xiu's view, Nong Yu was not his soulmate or confidant.

"Gao Gao Jianli is a musician from Yan Guo. This person has some fame in the land of Yan and Zhao, but it is not as great as Kuang Xiu's reputation. It is normal that you have not heard of him." Su Xuan explained the origin of Gao Gao Jianli to Nong Yu.

Nong Yu said in a deep voice: "Earlier, when Mr. Kuang Xiu played the music, I could hear the frustration in his heart."

Although Kuang Xiu did not play "High Mountains and Flowing Water" for Su Xuan in the end, since Su Xuan had come, Kuang Xiu still played a song for Su Xuan.

"It is normal for him to be frustrated. After all, he is a Zhao Guo person, and Zhao Guo is about to perish now, but he is powerless!"

Listening to Su Xuan's words, Nong Yu sighed in her heart.

She could understand Kuang Xiu's mood a little. Kuang Xiu was originally a court musician, and he had spent most of his life in Zhao Guo. He had extremely deep feelings for Zhao Guo.

He was originally living well in Zhao Guo, but was suddenly abducted to the Qin State, which was already frustrating enough.

Having stayed in the Qin State for a long time, how could he not know the situation in Zhao Guo?

It was very difficult for Zhao Guo to block the Qin State.

But Nong Yu did not say much. After all, because after the fall of Han Guo, she had joined the Yin-Yang School and was now considered a person of the Qin State.

Compared to worrying about Kuang Xiu's affairs, after seeing Kuang Xiu today, she could be considered to have fulfilled some wishes.

She could only hope in her heart that Mr. Kuang Xiu could walk out of his frustrated mood as soon as possible.

After Su Xuan and Nong Yu left, in the hall, Kuang Xiu played music again gently. He played a song of "High Mountains," but there was no soulmate to play "Flowing Water" beside him. "High Mountains and Flowing Water," lacking accompaniment, seemed lonely, just like him now, alone in the Qin State.

So, his tune changed again. This time, he played "Birdsong in the Empty Mountains"!

If Nong Yu heard this zither song, she would definitely be shocked. She had only played it once in front of Kuang Xiu, and Kuang Xiu had learned it without the help of any music score.

Kuang Xiu's talent in music was amazing!

"Birdsong in the Empty Mountains, it is indeed a good piece of music. Unfortunately, I am just a bird in a cage..."

In the empty hall, Kuang Xiu sighed.

Time flew by. At the beginning of the year, after the Qin State used Wang Xuan Jian as a general to conquer Zhao Guo, first the Zhao Wang died of illness, and then Li Mu died suddenly, and the whole Zhao Guo fell into chaos.

Even people like Zhao Qian and Guo Kai tried their best to stabilize the situation within Zhao Guo.

But their so-called stabilization of the situation was just to eliminate dissidents.

Zhao Qian was already a person of ill repute, and Guo Kai was no better.

It was already difficult for Zhao Guo to have one traitor, let alone these two people coming together.

Under their rule, the national strength of the entire Zhao Guo not only did not improve at all, but on the contrary, it became more and more depressed.

Ying Zheng was an impatient person.

In many things, he liked to be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he would act directly if he could not drag it out.

Now Zhao Guo had lost Li Mu, which was equivalent to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If he did not act now, when would he?

Just after midsummer this year, before the autumn harvest in Zhao Guo, the Qin State raised troops again, with Wang Xuan Jian as the Grand General and Li Xin, Wang Ben, and others as deputy generals, launching an attack on Zhao Guo.

In the separate courtyard where Li Mu lived in Xianyang City, because of Ying Zheng, Li Mu was now forced to hide his name. Now he was just an old farmer. Of course, this old farmer was a bit special; there were people watching around his courtyard at any time.

At the same time, he had long been cast with the Qi Prohibition Art by Su Xuan, sealing all his cultivation base. Su Xuan would come here every once in a while to cast the Qi Prohibition Method again.
