Chapter 402 Crazy and infuriating
As night fell, the inn's dining hall was brightly lit, and Qiu Ziyue and the others sat together, enjoying a sumptuous meal.
After the meal, everyone worked together to move the tables and chairs to the courtyard of the inn, preparing to hold a party.
The waiter also kindly brought over peanuts, a wine pot, and a teapot, adding to the lively atmosphere of the gathering.
In the courtyard, everyone chatted and laughed, busily and happily setting up the scene.
Before long, the venue for the party was ready.
Zhu Wen and the others watched the figures of the busy people in the courtyard through the transparent barrier, and their anger grew.
Seeing that Qiu Ziyue and the others were not alarmed at all, and even treated them as if they were invisible, he became even more furious.
"You little brat, how dare you humiliate this old man like this! Once the barrier is broken, let's see how long you can remain arrogant!"
Tao Akun was also furious:
"Qiu Ziyue, you'd better rein in your domineering attitude. I'm just kindly reminding you, the jade flute is in my hands."
Furthermore, the Prince of Jin's army is far away in Jinyang. How can your mere few dozen men possibly withstand an army of thousands?
Shulu Mingyao sneered:
"Qiu Ziyue, I think you're tired of living, haha, just wait until the barrier is broken..."
I will ensure your death, leaving you a mangled corpse. Then, both of your husbands will belong to me. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Yelü Bei anxiously advised:
"Miss Qiu, you should run away now. There's still time. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle."
However, Qiu Ziyue and the others continued to do their own thing in a relaxed and cheerful manner, completely ignoring these enemies.
Seeing this, Zhu Wen and Tao Akun urged Xiao Shanzi to hurry up and cast the spell.
With his eyes closed and covered in sweat, Xiao Shanzi chanted incantations and cast spells, hoping to break the barrier as soon as possible.
The atmosphere in the courtyard remained lively.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Li Cunxu sat around an old-fashioned wooden table.
Although there were no guzheng or guqin, Qiu Ziyue secretly prepared an exquisite pipa.
Qi Yuxuan then took out his flute, which he had treasured for many years.
Qiu Ziyue gently plucked the pipa strings, and clear, melodious notes flowed out like spring water.
Qi Yuxuan then played the flute, and the melodious flute sound intertwined with the pipa melody, like heavenly music.
Li Cunxu then softly sang "Jiangnan Girl".
His singing voice is deep and magnetic, blending perfectly with the instrumental accompaniment.
The three worked together with exceptional chemistry, as if they had rehearsed countless times.
This family with one wife and two husbands appeared exceptionally warm and harmonious at this moment.
Everyone was captivated by the beautiful music.
Some were drinking alcohol, some were eating sunflower seeds, and others were chatting, all enjoying the spectacle with great interest.
As the melody rose and fell, the crowd couldn't help but clap and applaud, expressing their admiration.
Even the soldiers standing outside the barrier were moved by the touching performance and applauded repeatedly.
However, although Zhu Wen appreciated the wonderful performance, he was very angry at the moment.
He thought to himself:
"You, Qiu Ziyue, have fought for decades! We have thousands of troops here to attack you!"
And yet you're here reveling in pleasure; I've never seen anyone so fearless.
Tao Akun was even more furious, and he gritted his teeth, thinking:
"They're treating us like dirt, Qiu Ziyue. I heard you're crazy and troublesome, but I didn't expect you to be this good at having fun. This is so damn exciting."
For Yelü Bei, the performance excited him even more.
This was his first time in the Central Plains, and he unexpectedly encountered the extraordinary woman Qiu Ziyue.
He watched the performance intently, secretly admiring it:
"No wonder this woman can captivate everyone; she's truly mesmerizing."
The music gradually faded away, and the courtyard returned to tranquility.
"Alright, Miss Qiu, please sing another song."
The crowd shouted loudly.
"Alright, everyone, if you want to sing and dance, or perform other acts, come on up, my husband and I will accompany you on the music."
Qiu Ziyue shouted.
Sure enough, a few passengers actually came out to sing and dance, creating a very joyful scene.
As night slowly fell, everyone's enthusiasm remained high, with Zhu Wen and the others outside the barrier still urging Xiao Shanzi to break the barrier.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Xiaoshanzi's mouth as he was casting a spell. He wiped it away with his hand and continued to exert his power.
"I'm so happy today! Now, I'll play a Xinjiang dance for you. Wanqing, senior brother, you lead everyone in dancing!"
"okay"
Qiu Ziyue played the pipa and began to sing "Maishilaifu".
Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Langyu traveled to the modern era and witnessed and even danced Xinjiang dances.
So the two of them led everyone in dancing the Meshrep.
The traditional and exotic Xinjiang dance was so captivating that the entire inn courtyard instantly became incredibly lively.
The soldiers in Zhu Wen's camp had never seen this kind of dance before, and they all started clapping along to the rhythm.
Zhu Wen, Tao Akun, and Shulu Mingyao were so angry that their faces turned ashen.
Yelü Zhigu and Yelü Bei watched with great interest.
"Miss Qiu, I also want to dance, can you teach me?" Yelü Bei shouted through the barrier.
“She’s busy, she can learn to dance on her own,” Li Cunxu responded.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. Everyone had danced enough and was a little tired, so they sat down on chairs to rest.
"Everyone, you're all tired. Go back and rest. We old friends will stay here a little longer."
Qiu Ziyue addressed the passengers.
The passengers, however, said, "Miss Qiu, we are not tired at all, we want to stay a little longer."
The night was as dark as ink, and moonlight spilled into the courtyard. Qiu Ziyue sat quietly in the center of the courtyard, holding an exquisite pipa in her hands.
Her companions and fellow travelers sat around her, all eyes fixed on her, anticipating the music that was about to begin.
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath and gently plucked the strings with her slender fingers.
The sound of the pipa was like weeping and lamenting, melodious yet sorrowful.
The beautiful melody echoed in the night sky, seemingly penetrating the heart and immersing people in endless thoughts.
The surrounding listeners were captivated by the beautiful music, closing their eyes to enjoy the tranquility and beauty.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the barrier, Xiaoshanzi was concentrating intently on breaking through the barrier in front of him.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his hands were waving incessantly, and he was muttering to himself.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of shattering glass rang out, and cracks began to appear in the barrier, radiating light.
With a loud bang, the barrier finally shattered, turning into countless fragments scattered all over the ground.
Xiaoshanzi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He quickly stepped out of the barrier and headed towards the courtyard.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue's pipa music still drifted in the night sky.
The people in the courtyard were awakened by the sudden noise and turned to look at Xiaoshanzi.
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes and continued playing the pipa.
Seeing the barrier open, Zhu Wen let out a long roar to the sky:
"Hahaha, heaven is on my side! It seems this world is still mine! Qiu Ziyue, Li Cunxu, you're going to die!"
