Chapter 204: Breaking! The Protection of the Fire God

This was the first time Lady Ya had met such a strange man as Xu Que!

Of course, she had never been close to those scholars either.

Those scholars, each of them saw Lady Ya, although they were all full of lust, they never dared to be so straightforward in front of Lady Ya.

So, hearing Xu Que say this, Lady Ya was also stunned.

However, Lady Ya felt that she was still in a dream, so she didn't care so much, closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and leaned toward Xu Que.

Burning!

Warm!

……

Giving people a feeling of being especially at ease and especially solid.

In Xu Que's heart, it was also a different kind of feeling.

However, thinking of Lady Ya being put under house arrest by the damn emperor, and even having to live as a widow for a lifetime as the wife of some damn Fire God, Xu Que felt that this kind of traditional bad custom of sacrificing to gods and respecting gods was not allowed.

Absolutely not allowed, it must be criticized, Lady Ya must be saved, even if I sacrifice everything!

"Right! Wanting to break the Fire God's protection covered by the Fire Kingdom, it seems the method of breaking it is very simple!"

Thinking of this, Xu Que's eyes brightened.

Since he did this, ultimately to subvert and overthrow the rule of the Fire Emperor of the entire Fire Kingdom, then he really had to sacrifice his small self again!

However, when he saw the faint smile at the corners of Lady Ya's mouth, Xu Que remembered again that his fundamental purpose for sneaking into Lady Ya's villa this time was to get Lady Ya's tears!

Then he had to make her cry, so why was she laughing instead?

This wouldn't do, the fundamental purpose couldn't be completed, how could he care about self-enjoyment?

But how could he make Lady Ya cry?

Could it be...

No, no, this King of Acting Cool is a righteous gentleman who cherishes the fair sex!

Although Xu Que also firmly believed that he definitely had such strength, he was ashamed of completing the task in such a despicable and shameless way.

But no matter what kind of task he completed, the first priority was to have style!

Heads can be broken, blood can flow, but style cannot be lost.

Raising his head slightly, Xu Que happened to see a pipa placed by Lady Ya's bed, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

Since Lady Ya had always liked talented works, and also had deep attainments in poetry and music, then he would do this.

Having made up his mind, Xu Que gently held Lady Ya's cheeks and said gently and softly: "How can there be no music at this time? I wonder if the Lady can play a pipa for me? Let me find some inspiration, just to write a 'Song of the Pipa' for you, how about it?"

"My lord! This concubine obeys!"

Lady Ya also liked this, knowing that Xu Que was talented and could write poems, and could recite a classic work that would go down in history in one step, so she immediately turned over, picked up the pipa at the foot of the bed, held it in her arms, and asked Xu Que: "Does my lord want a fast tune or a slow tune?"

"Slow tune! You follow my zither sound..."

Saying that! Xu Que also flipped his hand and brought out his ancient zither, automatically generated a musical score according to the content of "Song of the Pipa", plucked the strings, and the graceful zither sound drifted out.

At the same time, Lady Ya's eyes brightened, and she also plucked the pipa, following Xu Que's tune, listening while cooperating.

Xu Que took a deep breath and chanted slowly:

"At the Xunyang River, I bid farewell to a guest at night, the maple leaves and reed flowers are rustling in autumn.

The host dismounts and the guest is on the boat, raising wine to drink, but there is no music.

Drunk but not happy, miserably about to part, at the time of parting, the vast river is immersed in the moon.

Suddenly heard the sound of a pipa on the water, the host forgot to return and the guest did not depart.

Following the sound, I secretly asked who was playing? The pipa sound stopped, wanting to speak but hesitated..."

The faint tune, with Xu Que's high-pitched singing, the lonely sound and picture of the pipa on the water at night seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

"Moved the boat closer to invite a meeting, added wine, turned the lamp back, and reopened the banquet.

After a thousand calls and ten thousand shouts, she finally came out, still holding the pipa, half-covering her face."

What a "still holding the pipa, half-covering her face". When Xu Que sang here, he deliberately looked at Lady Ya.

Lady Ya was also stunned, and immediately substituted herself into the role of the pipa girl in the song, and was also very curious, Xu Que sang such a good song, but it seemed to be a story told in a narrative way.

"Turning the shaft and plucking the strings two or three times, before the tune is formed, there is already emotion.

String by string, suppressed and thoughtful, as if complaining about the frustration of life.

……

The big strings are noisy like heavy rain, the small strings are whispering like private words.

Noisy and whispering, mixed and played, big pearls and small pearls fall on the jade plate.

……

There is a hidden sorrow and secret hatred, at this time, silence is better than sound..."

Section by section, brilliant and superb, combined with the pipa sound, making people feel gradually depressed as they listened. What a "silence is better than sound"!

"Self-proclaimed to be a girl from the capital, home lived under Shama Ling.

At thirteen, I learned to play the pipa, and my name belonged to the first department of the teaching workshop.

……

This year's laughter and next year's, autumn moon and spring breeze passed in vain.

My brother went to join the army and my aunt died, from dusk to dawn, my color faded.

The door was cold and the horses were sparse, and when I was old, I married a merchant's wife.

Merchants value profit and take parting lightly, last month I went to Fuliang to buy tea.

We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why do we need to have known each other before we meet..."

Beautiful music, mixed with faint sadness, the helpless self-talk of a pipa girl marrying a merchant, made Lady Ya unconsciously trigger her own heartache.

The pipa girl married a merchant, gathered less and parted more, the merchant valued profit...

Wasn't this the same meaning as her being married to the Fire God's sacrifice by the Fire Emperor? Others value profit, but sacrifice their own happiness.

There are thousands and thousands of pitiful women in the world!

But they are mostly similar reasons. Thinking of this, Lady Ya really couldn't help but be tearful, and tears couldn't stop falling.

And Xu Que was also sighing at this time. He didn't expect that a "Song of the Pipa" would trigger such feelings, not only Lady Ya's, but also his own.

He looked at Lady Ya's tears falling, and didn't intend to step forward to comfort her, because as the poem said, "at this time, silence is better than sound", so he silently collected the tears that Lady Ya had just shed.

Lady Ya put down the pipa gently and looked at Xu Que, just like what he said in the poem, "we are both fallen people at the end of the world, why do we need to have known each other before we meet"?

Moreover, Lady Ya had always felt that this was in a dream. Perhaps only in a dream could the talented and arrogant Li Bai come to her boudoir so boldly and intimately?

Since it was in a dream, why care about so much?

Why care about the so-called Fire God!

Why care about the so-called national fortune!

Why care about the Fire God's protection!

Everything... disappear!

Walking slowly to Xu Que's front, Lady Ya smiled slightly, completely showing herself in front of Xu Que.

"My lord! It's time to rest..."

A sentence that seemed gentle and coquettish but also domineering, Lady Ya gently pushed Xu Que.
