Volume 15 The winner is the king Chapter 1166
~《》~ The best musician
Lianbai Town is a small town south of the imperial capital, with a population of about 200,000. Because it is less than a hundred miles away from the emperor, it is also a must-pass place for the south to enter the imperial capital. It has also developed well with the rise of the imperial capital.
Due to the good geographical position, the land prices in the imperial capital continued to rise and the pressure of life was too great, many ordinary people from the original imperial capital moved here, making it a small town with a population of only 50,000 or 60,000 suddenly developed into a population of 200,000, which was almost the same as a small town.
"Is this the Little Emperor Capital?" As soon as Yaya entered the town, she looked around curiously. Although it was only a hundred miles away from the Emperor Capital, this was Yaya's first time in Lianbai Town, and she seemed particularly excited. As for the task this time, Yaya didn't have to worry at all, because Hu You was there, so she didn't have to take on anything.
Hu You and the other four rushed to Lianbai Town in just three hours. The troops of Zhengqi Society were still a hundred miles away, and there was no sense of any war atmosphere here.
In fact, years of war have made the people very accustomed to it. Except for some rich and afraid of death, most good people are not afraid of war. In the words of the old man, what should be done sooner or later, and what should I be afraid of if I die sooner or later?
A person's mentality determines a person's behavior. A group of people's mentality determines a group of people's views on the opposite thing. It is precisely because the people of Lianbai Town are already numb to war, so the life in Lianbai Town has not changed because of the war that is about to come. Those who should work continue to work, and those who should start trading continue. In short, everything is not much different.
After finding an inn to stay, Hu You led Yaya and a few to walk around the town. Perhaps because of the indifference of the people, Hu You and the others were not nervous at all. They walked along the way and bought some of them when they met something they wanted. They didn’t seem to be doing any important tasks, but they changed to go out for fun.
Since Lianbai Town is not a military important place, it is a naturally formed town, not only does it have no garrisons, but also does not have border gates. It is a huge market with many commodities and all kinds of things, and some things that even the imperial capital can be found here.
"Dad, look, this is an antique." Yaya suddenly screamed as if she had discovered a new continent, which attracted many people's attention.
Hu You glanced at it and smiled without saying a word. The thing Yaya pointed at was a vase that was more than a ruler high, which looked quite old, but if it was an antique, it would be too far apart. In a hundred or ten years, it might become an antique.
Yaya just had fun, and whispered a few words with the vendor, then returned to Hu You. Even if it was an antique, she would not be interested in hugging that guy around the street. You must know that Hu You would never help her get it.
"Young Master, the time is almost over." Zhu Daneng is the only person who is not able to let go. This time they came out, they didn't even take any soldiers. Zhu Daneng naturally has a great responsibility to protect the safety of Hu You's family. Although Hu You and Yaya's fu skills are better than him, Zhu Daneng will not forget his identity.
"Well, it's almost done, let's go back." Hu You glanced at Tianye. It was time to go back to the inn. They came out today, and they were playing, but in fact they had more elements of exploration. After only a few rounds, Hu You had already observed several groups of people wandering around the market. Needless to ask, it must be the vanguard of the Zhengqi Society. Before the large group of people arrived, they came to fight the front station first.
"Young Marshal, it is estimated that about 10,000 members of the Zhengqi Association have entered Lianbai Town. However, no trace of Liu Sisi has been found yet." After the meal, Zhu Daneng handed over the statistics to Hu You. They did not bring people with them this time, but that does not mean that they are not available. Lianbai Town is only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. How could the Immortal Legion have no mission arrangements here?
"Well, it's similar to me. If the order continues, the departments should not act rashly without receiving my order."
Hu You came out this time not for the sake of war. Once there was any misunderstanding, the trip would be in vain.
"Yes, I know how to do it." Zhu Daneng pointed his head heavily, and he had already conveyed similar orders. I believe that the people below will never do anything randomly.
Zhu Daneng has always wanted to ask Hu You a question about Liu Sisi. Through the previous chat and bragging, although Hu You did not say it formally, Zhu Daneng knew that Hu You's breakthrough must be Liu Sisi. What Zhu Daneng didn't understand is that Liu Sisi is just a music lover, and the possibility of her coming with the army is very small. Why is Hu You so sure that Liu Sisi will definitely come this time?
Fortunately, Zhu Daneng didn't ask, otherwise Hu You'd be so angry that he would jump up. Hu You didn't know what Liu Sisi would definitely follow the army, and Hu You was just guessing this time. Hu You guessed that Liu Sisi would definitely follow the army.
reason?
Hu You's reason lies with Yaxin. Didn't Yaxin build a singing and dancing troupe in the Immortal Bird Legion that specializes in performing programs for soldiers? Because this is not a confidential news, Hu You believe that many people outside have heard of this. With Liu Sisi's identity as the daughter of the righteous leader, she must know it.
Liu Sisi's idol is Yaxin. After Yaxin did such a thing, Hu You didn't believe that Liu Sisi would learn to do it. As long as Liu Sisi also set up such a singing and dancing troupe in the righteous association, even if she didn't personally participate in the show, she would definitely be in the army. This is also the reason why Hu You specially brought Yaxin out this time.
The next day, the atmosphere in Lianbai Town seemed a little more tense, but people's daily travel was not affected much. When the sun set in the afternoon, more than a thousand people wearing military uniforms appeared in Lianbai Town.
The people naturally saw more than a thousand people, but their reaction was not so strong. Except for some timid shops that closed early, most people continued their lives.
"It seems almost done." Hu You smiled. Lianbai Town has a population of only 200,000, and there will be 190,000 soldiers in righteousness. It is unlikely that they will drive the large army into the town. These thousand soldiers should be for the senior officers of Liu Qingfeng and others to find a place to live.
Seeing these soldiers, Hu You not only wasn't nervous, but he relaxed. If Liu Qingfeng and Liu Sisi had been living in the military camp, it would be a bit difficult for Hu You to get close to them. If they entered the town, it would be very different. Hu You not only didn't have to go to find them, but could also wait here for them to come to him.
"Is Liu Sisi here?" Yaya asked hurriedly when she heard Hu You's words. Hu You were not nervous, she was a little nervous. If Liu Sisi, the key figure, did not appear, then they would have been in vain this time.
"It's not that fast, but I believe they will definitely enter the town tomorrow." Hu You said confidently.
When he discovered that Liu Qingfeng had sent more than 10,000 subordinates into Lianbai Town yesterday, Hu You was sure that Liu Sisi would definitely enter the town. Long-distance marching was not a pleasant thing. Lianbai Town was only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, so there was no reason why Liu Qingfeng didn't repair the troops here. As long as Liu Qingfeng repaired the troops, Liu Sisi would definitely live in the town.
Hu You and Liu Sisi met each other no matter how they happened, so it was too easy to guess this.
Today, Liu Sisi did not enter the town, and Hu You and others had nothing to do. They were basically like yesterday, and they were spending time everywhere. On the third day, the mediocre show came.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Hu You left the inn alone. He did not let any of Yaya or Zhu Daneng follow him, Hu You had to act alone.
Hu You didn't go directly to find Liu Sisi. He had already planned to let Liu Sisi come to him by himself. In the market on the side of the road I chose yesterday, Hu You found an open space to sit down, took out the others, and set up a street stall like he did when he was running around the world in the past.
The other sounds of Shengsheng quickly attracted many good musicians. Because many people in Lianbai Town used to live in the imperial capital, their quality was obviously higher than other places, and some people knew it. They knew that although these other sounds were good, there were too few songs, which was difficult for ordinary people to play with. If you can hear them in the market, it would be even more difficult to meet.
In a short while, Hu You, a small street stall, had already surrounded people from the three floors inside and three floors outside. The layman watched the excitement, and the experts listened to the tricks, and they didn't want to leave after hearing it. The cheers never stopped. There was no bowl in front of Hu You, but with just how good it was, there was no way to fill his face with a lot of copper coins.
Hu You seemed to have forgotten his purpose and just played the rest of his life intoxicatedly, as if it was the whole world, and everything else had nothing to do with him.
Just one song, Hu You gave another song. This time Hu You played a new song, and the sound floated out from afar, bringing more listeners back to Hu You. One of the women in white was also attracted by the sound. With the help of left and right guards, he squeezed into the crowd, his eyes turned on Hu You, and he was stunned.
This woman is Liu Sisi. Hu You guessed right. After Liu Sisi heard that Yaxin had formed a singing and dancing troupe within the Immortal Bird Legion to perform programs for soldiers, she also made one with Liu Qingfeng.
Liu Qingfeng did not agree with Liu Sisi doing that at first, but after being polished by Liu Sisi, he reluctantly agreed with Liu Sisi's approach. Unexpectedly, the establishment of this singing and dancing troupe brought great benefits to Liu Qingfeng. It not only strengthened the cohesion of soldiers, but also promoted the reputation of the Zhengqi Association, attracting more young people to join the army. In just a few months, the Zhengqi Association's combat power increased by more than 10%. Don't underestimate this combat power. Many times, only this combat power can determine success or failure.
After Liu Qingfeng tasted the sweetness, he changed from being forced to being strongly supported. With Liu Qingfeng's support, Liu Sisi's military singing and dancing troupe developed better, and Liu Sisi's position in the army was getting higher and higher, which made Liu Qingfeng send troops this time, even though he knew that this battle was quite dangerous to the Immortal Legion, he still brought Liu Sisi with him.
Liu Sisi did not disappoint Liu Qingfeng's expectations. Her singing and dancing troupe performed along the way, which made the atmosphere in the entire army very good, and the confidence of the soldiers to win was greatly enhanced. Liu Qingfeng was even more happy, so he loved Liu Sisi even more.
Before passing Lianbai Town and having the last rest, Liu Qingfeng decided to let Liu Sisi live in the town so that she could get a better rest. For Liu Sisi's absolute safety, Liu Qingfeng also sent 10,000 soldiers to secretly enter Lianbai Town in advance, which was also a good intention.
Today, Liu Qingfeng was going to accompany Liu Sisi into the town, but some things were delayed temporarily, so he ordered someone to escort Liu Sisi into the town first.
Liu Sisi was really tired of marching these days and kept sleeping in the carriage. Until a few minutes ago, there was a sudden burst of other sounds that woke Liu Sisi up. At first she thought it was a dream, but she didn't expect it to be another sound.
This small Lianbai Town could actually hear other sounds on the street, which naturally surprised Liu Sisi. She got off the carriage immediately and asked for the voices all the way, regardless of the guard's objection. Liu Sisi had been guessing who was playing the other, but she never thought that it was Hu You.
Hu You was completely doing what he saw Liu Sisi dressing up that time. Liu Sisi didn't recognize her at first glance. Liu Sisi wanted to call Hu You, but she couldn't make any sound. She had completely fallen into Hu You's other songs. This is a new song that Liu Sisi had never heard of before.
Just one song, the other sounds finally stopped. It was quiet all around. After a minute, people suddenly woke up. Huge applause and rewards rushed towards Hu You like a tide. Not to mention anything else, just Hu You's songs are enough to live a very good life anywhere. Look at the copper plates in front of Hu You, they are almost piled up into small hills. There are a few particularly shining ones, which are actually gold coins.
"Master, it's really you, why are you here?" Liu Sisi also came to her senses and ran to Hu You. Although Hu You kept saying that he was not Liu Sisi's master, Liu Sisi was called Master Hu You in most cases.
"Hey, why are you here?" Hu You looked at Liu Sisi with surprise. In fact, he had already seen Liu Sisi coming over, and this would be just a show.
"I came with my father in a while. Master, let's talk in another place."
Although Liu Sisi has performed in a teahouse, all those who come to listen to it are nobles. She has never had any experience in performing on the street. Due to her birth, in her consciousness, performing on the street is more or less low-level. It would be fine if she didn't know, but if she knew, she would never let her master perform on the street anymore.
Hu You's original purpose was to Liu Sisi, so he naturally would not object and let Liu Sisi pull him away.
The people watching were so happy that they heard it. Seeing Liu Sisi pulling Hu You away, they were more or less dissatisfied. However, seeing Liu Sisi is so beautiful and has guards around them, they dared to react in extreme ways.
"It's okay to put things here." Liu Sisi explained to the guard and turned to look at Hu You.
The things that the guards brought were all rewards that Hu You had just received, and they actually had so many half of their pockets. Bian Hu You didn't expect them to have them.
After Liu Sisi waited for the guard to go out, she asked with concern: "Master, do you have no money to spend? Why don't you go to find me?"
Liu Sisi's words were not very tactful, but they were from the heart. In her opinion, Hu You was actually going to go to the street to perform, and her apprentice was very unfilial.
Hu You was very moved when he heard Liu Sisi's words. This girl Liu Sisi is really good. She respects her very much just because she taught her a few songs. If she hadn't been Liu Qingfeng's daughter, Hu You really didn't want to lie to her now.
Of course, this was just Hu You's thoughts in a moment. Things have developed to this point. Hu You still has to do what you should do. Hu You knows very well what is important and what is light. It is impossible for him to let this little touch and disrupt all his plans.
Hu You laughed and said, "Why don't I have money? I haven't spent the gold coins you gave me last time."
The last time Hu You left, Liu Sisi gave Hu You five hundred gold coins. This is not a single number. It will be a good meal and drink for the rest of her life if she changes her to ordinary people.
"Then why would you go to the street..." Liu Sisi couldn't say the word "selling" in her opinion, which was an insult to other things. Others should be performed in a gorgeous hall, not on the side of the road.
Hu You took a sip of tea and smiled and said, "Liu Sisi, have you ever heard a saying that art comes from life?"
Seeing Liu Sisi's confused look on her face, Hu You explained: "I went to the street to play other things, not to ask for money, but to have better contact with the audience. Only in this way can we understand what the audience needs well. You can hear the song I played just now."
"Yeah." Liu Sisi nodded repeatedly. She had never heard of Hu You's statement before, and she felt very surprised.
"What do you think?" Hu You smiled. This move is called taking medicine when you see someone. Even if you meet Liu Sisi, you won't have any doubts.
"Of course it's very good, I'm almost fascinated." Liu Sisi said seriously.
"I have realized this song among the people. From the people, I already know it is good. Liu Sisi, you must remember that no matter what art is, it cannot be separated from the people. The streets are the best holy places to learn."
