Chapter 430 The person who disappeared out of thin air

The Second Prince of Xia was extremely excited when looking at the music score.

"Where did this music score come from? As far as I know, my Xia country's musician Long Weiwei knows the symbols on this music score. No one else knows except her."

Cang Xuan's face turned pale: "This was given to me by a friend, but more than ten years have passed and I have never seen her again. Perhaps, the Long Weiwei that the Second Prince mentioned is my friend? But her name is not Long Weiwei, but Long Xiaoxiao."

The second prince thought for a moment and asked his attendant to take out a scroll. When the scroll was unfolded, it showed a young woman in exotic clothing.

When Cang Xuan saw it, he almost lost his balance.

His eyes were red, and he took a step forward, looking closely at the person in the painting.

"Similar, so similar, could this be Long Weiwei? But her name is clearly Long Xiaoxiao!" Cang Xuan said a little inappropriately.

The second prince had the scroll put away: "It is indeed Long Weiwei, but I wonder if she is the same person as the Long Xiaoxiao you mentioned? Master Cang Xuan, where was your friend last seen?"

Cang Xuan calmed himself down and said, "It's on the third floor of Miaoyinfang. There is the room she lived in and the things she left behind. One day, after a group of friends and I had dinner, she said she wanted to go back to her room to rest, but she never showed up again after that. It's like she disappeared out of thin air. No one can see her alive, and no one can see her body after her death."

Cang Xuan seemed to be in a very heavy mood.

The second prince said: "Disappeared out of thin air? Ha, could it be that you harmed him? You made up this excuse casually?"

Cang Xuan swore to the heavens: "She is my soulmate and my best friend. How could I harm her? If I have the intention to harm her, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Prince Changping stepped forward to persuade him: "Those are all old stories. If you want to investigate, go ahead and check it out, Second Prince. I was there at the time, and Long Xiaoxiao really disappeared out of thin air. But she always liked to travel, and we all thought she went somewhere else."

"Oh, could she fly over the eaves and walls and fly away from the third floor on clouds?" The second prince didn't believe it, but he had no evidence now: "Forget it, I will naturally investigate this matter. After the competition is over, please ask Master Cang Xuan to take me to the third floor to take a look."

Tao Yanyan immediately said: "I want to see it too, I want to see it too! Didn't Master Cang Xuan say that he would repay me, so he should take my wife and I up there to see it."

She originally wouldn't have believed that someone could disappear out of thin air, but she herself had traveled through time and space out of thin air, so there were many things she couldn't help but believe.

He Linzhang didn't say anything. Anyway, he had asked Yingyi to investigate before. He also wanted Yingyi to get a token, but it seems that it is not necessary now. Thanks to the little concubine, he can go directly.

Cang Xuan nodded: "Okay, then wait until after the game, and I will lead you guests upstairs."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the framed music score again. Tao Yanyan looked at the musicians from the Xia Kingdom, then at the musicians from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone looked at a loss and helpless.

"How is it? Do you understand?" the second prince asked his musicians.

But no one in Xia Kingdom understood.

The musicians in Miaoyinfang also shook their heads.

Tao Yanyan looked at the song "The End of the Song" written in simple notation and fell silent.

He Linzhang glanced at her and felt that the little concubine should have understood, but she didn't say anything.

He Linzhang frowned: You'd rather not have 30,000 taels a year than keep silent?

Tao Yanyan was actually struggling. She really wanted the thirty thousand taels, which were all golden money. But she didn't want to reveal too much.

"Um... Master Cang Xuan, can you tell whether the song you played is correct?"

He Linzhang's mouth twitched: Are you trying to take advantage of the situation and just play a random song?

Cang Xuan said: "I have heard it once before, but I was drunk that day and only remember the first sentence."

After saying this, he took the pipa and played the first sentence.

Tao Yanyan said as soon as he heard it: "Your playing reminds me of a song I heard before. Although I can't understand the score, the song is still fresh in my memory. Why don't I play that song for you to listen to? If it is really the song you heard before, then it might be the score of this song."

Cang Xuan was overjoyed and quickly handed the pipa to Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan thought about the music score and began to play: "... So this is the loneliness after the song ends and people disperse. What else should I wait for you for? You held my sleeve tightly, and then let me go. This time you broke up with me completely..."

At the end of the song, Cang Xuan seemed to be trapped in infinite sorrow, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Others were also touched by the sadness in the song, feeling powerless and reluctant, but ultimately had no choice but to let go.

"Yes, that's right. It's this song. Madam He, where have you heard it? According to your age, it seems that you should not have any intersection with Long Xiaoxiao." Cang Xuan couldn't help asking.

"It's Long Weiwei, not Long Xiaoxiao." The second prince reminded immediately.

Cang Xuan was speechless. If the portrait was indeed of Long Weiwei, then Xiaoxiao had deceived him.

"Even the name is fake, what else can be true? She said she just went upstairs to rest, but she disappeared without a trace. Haha, liar, little liar, you are a liar!" Cang Xuan was heartbroken.

Tao Yanyan took a look at it. Although he couldn't bear to interrupt him, he had figured out the music score himself, so he had to redeem the reward.

"Um... three points a year, does that count?"

Cang Xuan choked, and his sadness suddenly stopped.

"Of course, we signed the contract."

Tao Yanyan was very satisfied, and took He Linzhang's arm and said, "Husband, I'm making money for the family!"

Ning Yuan Hou coughed lightly, thinking that your husband is the ruler of the Great Zhou, and you want to show off with the little money you earn? Niece, don't be childish!

"Well, madam is really amazing!" He Linzhang praised.

Ningyuan Hou: "..."

"Now that we have the music score, should we go to the third floor to take a look?" asked the Second Prince of Xia.

So the four great musicians won the selection in Miaoyinfang again. The guests dispersed, and Cang Xuan personally took the second prince of Xia Kingdom and others to the third floor.

"I wonder what kind of people usually come up here?" He Linzhang asked casually.

Cang Xuan said: "They are all like-minded people, leaving a quiet place for them to chat."

He Linzhang didn't ask any more questions and took Tao Yanyan to the room where Long Weiwei was locked.

Cang Xuan personally took out the key and opened the door. The interior was very elegantly decorated and cleaned neatly. It was obvious that someone maintained it on a daily basis.

Tao Yanyan went in and observed carefully. There was nothing unusual about the things used. However, a beautifully bound book on the table caught her attention.

Cang Xuan had been paying attention to Tao Yanyan since he entered the room. Seeing her eyes looking at the book, he walked over, picked up the book, and handed it to Tao Yanyan: "This is all Xiaoxiao's music scores. If Madam He is interested, you can take a look."

Tao Yanyan took it and opened it. There was no text inside, only music, and they were all golden songs of later generations. Tao Yanyan took a look and then closed the book and handed it to Cang Xuan: "I can't understand the music score, what a pity."

Cang Xuan smiled and said, "Mrs. He never forgot this song after hearing it. I wonder where did she hear it from?"

Tao Yanyan pondered for a moment, as if he couldn't remember: "Sorry, I really can't remember."
