intoxicating

--Invitation card--

In summer, in a classical garden;

"Every time I hear you play, I feel incredible."

In informal occasions, Yan Qingyao is more casual than at school, without so many rules, and his voice also reveals the casual and friendly side of youth, rather than the usual elegance.

"Why?"

"Before I saw someone, I would think that this person should have practiced the piano for decades. The accumulation of time and the use of skills cannot be developed overnight."

"So, isn't the teacher more enviable, proficient in various musical instruments, and won honors that no one else can get in their lifetime."

It can be said that before the age of 30, Yan Qingyao had already won the highest honor a pianist can get.

In contrast, Gong Lingxi is just a mortal.

"For the sake of your complimenting me so much, you can order the music you want to listen to."

After thinking about it, Gong Lingxi said, "The teacher's favorite instrument and music."

"That's all you want to know about me?"

"Music is not complete when it becomes a score. When you meet the right instrument and the right audience, you will go through a second creation, and achieve an effect that the composer can't predict..." Gong Lingxi laughed, "I am looking forward to the teacher's interpretation."

Yan Qingyao got up and took out a box from the cabinet. The box was made of wood, which was very fine and thick. When he opened the wooden box, there was a jade tube lying inside. According to Gong Lingxi's visual inspection, the material was snow crown glass.

"It, like your qin, originated from a distant era, and the contemporary people call it an ancient relic."

Ancient times, an era that is no longer testable, recent antiquity is the interstellar era, and middle antiquity before that is the era of technological explosion. There are many dynasties in ancient times, and ancient times means mystery, primitiveness and mythology.

Taking out the flute, Yan Qingyou said, "It's just such a pipe, with a few holes drilled, it can use resonance to play complex music."

Put the mouthpiece close to the lips, the notes have already been engraved in the heart.

Yan Qingyao is good at all kinds of musical instruments. The musical instruments that Gong Lingxi has heard include piano, violin, and flute. They are basically musical instruments that he is not familiar with. Until just now, he thought that Yan Qingyao would play the flute.

Xiao, that is the instrument he is familiar with.

Gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, gourd, bamboo, a total of eight tones.

Qin belongs to silk, Xiao belongs to bamboo.

Compared with Guqin, which is less adaptable, Xiao often appears in various places, whether it is folk or court, it has its place.

The music does not belong to the repertoire that Gong Lingxi is familiar with, and has a foreign style. The specific area is a difficult problem for Gong Lingxi who is sitting in the well.

So Gong Lingxi asked directly, "What a special music, where does it come from?"

Yan Qingyao wiped the instrument in his hand and replied, "This is a popular song in my birthplace."

"What is your name?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Qingyou said, "The Bloody Crown."

Gong Lingxi thought up a lot of court plots, but Yan Qingyao didn't satisfy his curiosity, but the other party's mood was not too high, so Gong Lingxi didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, the Internet is so convenient, he wants to know, Just look it up.

The facts bore him no interest, and at the same time, to his surprise, it was a love story.

It's hard for him to imagine that Yan Qingyao would like a love story, just like he can't imagine Zuo Xiyou becoming a veteran in love. This feeling is very complicated, as if it made him know each other again.

But maybe he thought too much, Yan Qingyao liked this ballad, maybe not because of this love story, but just because of his hometown.

So he took another look at the source of this ballad. There are many sayings, but there are two main ones, one is a stingy love star, and the other is a small frontier country that has been destroyed.

Most people support the first point of view, thinking that the source of this ballad is the stingy love star.

Gong Lingxi didn't want to do archaeology or write a thesis, so she searched as far as she could.

In fact, he has more important things to do.

Just a week after the holiday, he returned to Lian Zhenxing's house. Fat Fou has now become a housekeeping robot, responsible for taking care of the house when Gong Lingxi is out.

But he found something strange, it wasn't that Fat Fou had done anything, in fact, there was nothing to do in this house.

It was someone who came here, he avoided Fat Fou, maybe it was her, this discovery made Gong Lingxi more vigilant.

This is not a little mouse. A little mouse will not murder the owner of the house in the middle of the night. This is a creature that can threaten him. If possible, he wants to find out the other party and figure out what kind of crisis he is facing. Also remove the threat.

After searching the house, he found only an invitation.

Let him board a spaceship at ten o'clock tomorrow.

The time is really tight, Gong Lingxi looked at the invitation letter in her hand, her face was uncertain.

to go, or not to go?This is actually not a problem. Since the other party can find his nest, he can naturally find his school, but it seems that he doesn't want to kill him now.

As for whether it might be the group of people who kidnapped him last time, Gong Lingxi didn't think this possibility was true. This method was too clumsy. If the other party wanted to kidnap him, they would have to use more sophisticated methods.

Just as Gong Lingxi was thinking, a figure stepped in, first stepped in with one foot through the window, and tentatively searched for the ground.

Gong Lingxi was shocked by the boldness of this thief. If he didn't do anything, he would be sorry for the little thief's carelessness.

As a thief, the other party did not have the consciousness of being a thief. After being caught by Gong Lingxi, he looked at it several times, and when he saw the invitation letter in Gong Lingxi's hand, he shouted, "This is it, can you return it to me?" .”

"Why should I give it to you?"

"It's useless for you to hold it, this is not for you."

"But it's in my room now."

"I sent it to the wrong person, can you return it to me first?"

That person seemed to be an employee who had just taken office, and he looked confused, but considering the other party's skill in overcoming walls, he was probably a new employee who was very good at overcoming walls.

"You answer me a question first."

Gong Lingxi sat down, this action didn't look like asking a question, but like cross-examination.

"what is the problem?"

"What is the function of the invitation letter?"

"The boss is going to hold a big banquet, and many people have to attend."

"What kind of banquet and what's the theme?"

"You'll know when you go..." This time the employee was not so frank, but obviously his brain was not very good.

"If you take the invitation back, I won't be able to go."

"Oh, yes..." The other party frowned and thought deeply, and thought of a way for a long time, "The invitee can bring a companion, so you can let someone else take you there, well, you can return the invitation letter to me."

"Wait, if you don't tell me who the invitees are, how can I let others take me there."

"This is a secret, we can't say..." The other party seemed embarrassed.

"I'm going to post a post on the Internet, so it's still confidential?"

"You're right, wait a minute..." The man turned around, took out a piece of paper, and scanned it back and forth.

During that period, Gong Lingxi saw everything through.

Most of the names above did not appear until the eyes fell on the last three names, Shangliu, Gong Lingxi, and Huajian.

A line was drawn above Shang Liu's name, and there was an arrow mark beside it, pointing to his name.

"Shang Liu..." Before the other party spoke, Gong Lingxi said a name first, "Who are you going to invite next?"

"How do you know? You, you... you actually peeked?"

Gong Lingxi played with the invitation letter in her hand and said, "The last question, where is the banquet?"

"I really can't tell you any more."

"Then change the question, how long will the spaceship travel?"

"Hmm..." The other party's eyes began to roll, obviously calculating, "The shortest route only takes two days."

Gong Lingxi also made some calculations in her mind. There are not many planets two days away from Lianzhen, and they are all prosperous planets close to the center of the empire. Then think about the person invited by the other party, young and promising young people with extraordinary family background People, the behavior before and after contacting this person, he can also understand the reason why the invitation letter was sent to the wrong place.

But in this way, Gong Lingxi lost interest in the banquet, and while letting go of the person, she also returned the invitation letter to the other party.

That afternoon, he received an invitation from Shang Liu.

"Think about other people who can be invited..." Gong Lingxi euphemistically expressed her refusal, this is not the time to show brotherhood.

"I saw your name on the invitation list."

"But I'm gone now."

"How is this going?"

Shang Liu quickly thought of a reason, but it was a bit difficult to speak in front of Gong Lingxi, so he chose not to give Gong Lingxi a chance to answer, "I was rejected, you don't want to come to comfort you brother."

"Although I'm not an expert in emotional counseling, I'd better come and listen."

The next day, Gong Lingxi simply packed two sets of change of clothes, because it was summer, there were not many things to bring.

After boarding the spaceship, Gong Lingxi looked around.

"What are you looking for?"

"I didn't see the flower room."

"Huajian doesn't live here, his account is in Ziweixing."

"Strange..." Gong Lingxi was stunned, but she kept recalling the list she saw yesterday in her mind.

"What's wrong?"

"The people on the list are all on Lianzhen Star, so I took it for granted that Huajian is also here. How could I be led by such inertial thinking."

"Perhaps the person who sent the invitation made a mistake."

The quality of this messenger is not guaranteed, and I make no secret of it.

What Shang Liu said is also possible. Judging from what Gong Lingxi observed, it is not surprising that the other party made any mistakes, but the person who made the list is not the sender, and it is impossible to make the same mistakes as the sender. This is not rigorous The working style of the big family.

Ever since the cabin door was closed, a feeling of uneasiness has been lingering in his heart, which is a kind of doubt about the inviting person's style of work.

This unease becomes reality when the ship crashes and they are thrown on a desolate planet.

The time on the planet is not the same as what they know. It should be noon on Lian Zhenxing, but it is already close to dusk, and the temperature is extremely low, like a bleak late autumn. There is no wind, but it is already very uncomfortable .

Someone started contacting relatives and friends, and after a few minutes, gave up.

Some people also began to assemble various instruments and devices for transmitting signals, "This is not far from Lianzhen, there should be a space station nearby."

"How long will it take?"

"Hurry up, someone will come to rescue us tomorrow."

This sentence reassured many people. In fact, they didn't seem too worried. The spaceship flew for two hours, and they were still in the Ziwei Empire. Good education also allowed them to survive in various environments.

Of course, this is only a very small number of people, such as Shang Liu, mech pilots need to be trained not only in combat, but also in the ability to survive in the wild when they lose their mechs.

More people have learned to use human abilities. Usually, these people are divided into various leading organizations, and there is not much to do.

But now, when these elites are gathered together, the excessive self-awareness makes it impossible for anyone to bear the leadership of others.

And when they found that they couldn't order others, they found Shang Liu who looked more like a labor force and Gong Lingxi who was dressed in shabby clothes. Of course, they were not the only ones who were ordered.

In addition, several people were moved by the huge amount of money and searched for food in this desolate land.
