Although Zhang Xian Chong was the famous Zither Master of Nine Nether, and his zither skills could be considered to be at the pinnacle, but compared to the Nightmare Tactic, he was definitely not the same person.
”But yours …”
The Grand Concubine wanted to ask how she understood the Nightmare Tactic, but when Master Chu lightly tugged at her lapel, she immediately opened her mouth!
”My father was once a friend of old Mr. Zhang. Once, he was favored by old mister. He was given the ability to play the zither for a period of time. Afterwards, he had to self-study.”
”Oh ~”
Xue Wuhen had also discovered that behind them, a little maid was sneakily following them and listening in on their conversation. Only then did he realize that Chu Shiyu had purposely kept his mouth shut.
Xue Wuhen interrupted the two people and said, ”Royal Grandmother, you should go back to your room to rest. The wind is cold here and it will freeze.”
The Grand Concubine caressed the back of Xue Wuhen's hand in a gratified manner, and then gripped Master Chu's hand tightly to follow by her side.
”I like you, child. You'll accompany my old woman in the future. When you're old, you'll fear loneliness. Even when you sleep, you'll want someone by your side to accompany you in the future.”
”Mm ~ Luo Qing knows.”
After helping the grand concubine into the bedroom and sending the maids out, the grand concubine pulled Master Chu in front of her.
”Child ~ You are …” Are you the descendant of Xiahou Yu Qing? I've finally waited for you to come. ”
Chu Shiyu was astonished. She was not Xiahou Yuqing's successor at all. She had never even seen him in person.
But he was also afraid that the old imperial concubine would be disappointed if he told her the truth. He didn't want to say it, but he also didn't know what she wanted to do.
”Grand Imperial Concubine, I am not the descendant of old mister Xiahou Yu.”
”Then... Then how did you learn the Nightmare Mantra? Didn't he give it to you? ”
Master Chu said, ”Speaking of the Nightmare Zither Technique, it was a book of Zither Techniques left behind by a good friend of Master's. Luo Qing was fortunate enough to see it from Master's place, so he learned it. Luo Qing thought, that friend of mine should be the old mister Xia Hou, Yu Qing that you mentioned, right? ”
”Then your benefactor is …”
”A benefactor's whereabouts are uncertain. People call him the idle wanderer Wuya.”
The Grand Concubine was astonished. Speaking of old man Wuya reminded her of the past.
In the past, she had roamed the martial arts world and met Xiahou Yu and Wuya there. The two of them were both young men who had once lived a life of debauchery.
The two of them traveled through the martial world. After meeting the young imperial concubine in the South Sea, they had gotten to know each other.
As for the grand imperial concubine herself, she was born of a noble family of Xue Lan, and her family was prominent. She was the princess of Xue Lan Ling Xing.
It was supposed to be a beautiful marriage, but under the pressure of the family, the princess chose to leave it to Xiahou Yu Qing and marry into the royal family.
When he bid farewell to Xiahou Qing with tears in his eyes, he voluntarily gave his body to Xiahou Qing. From then on, the two of them never saw each other again.
At that time, Xiahou Yu Qing had given Princess Ling Xing the nightingale guqin. That was, when the princess was in trouble, she would help them, whether it was thousands of miles or even thousands of miles.
