Chapter 387 (1/2)
The Things This County Princess Did With You Are High-End
A person appeared in a flash, as Ban Zou, who had not been seen for over three months appeared and sat directly across from her. Picking up the can of beer, he skillfully opened up the can of beer and downed a large mouthful.
He had watched from the shadows for a long time and finally found out that this thing had this sort of taste. He wondered to himself, how was this delicious? Taking another sip, he tasted it for a bit, followed by another sip. Like this, he downed an entire can. Ban Zou finally understood that the enjoyment of certain things could not be determined in an instant, but once he began drinking, he could not stop.
He reached out to Feng Yu Heng: “Do you have more?”
Feng Yu Heng pulled out another can for him, “Drink a little slower. I still have things to ask you.”
Ban Zou threw his head back and downed another large mouthful. Without waiting for her to ask, he took the initiative to say: “Everything is fine on Xiao Zhou’s side. Young master is quite well and did not come into any further danger. The academy is doing everything that it can to protect him, and head teacher Ye has arranged for Zi Rui to live in his courtyard, so his own guards could protect him. I secretly investigated the fire, but I was unable to figure out who exactly did anything.”
Feng Yu Heng shrugged and smiled, “For it to be so clean, there is definitely something wrong.”
Ban Zou asked her: “Why do you believe that it’s not just a simple coincidence?”
She rolled her eyes, “How could there be so many coincidences? You have been with me for so long, but when have you seen any coincidences actually occur? It’s not because my mind is dark and filled with conspiracy theories. It’s that the enemy is always appearing when I am least prepared. Whenever I am too optimistic, it is too easy for others to take advantage of me.”
What else could Ban Zou say? Indeed, how could there be so many coincidences in this world? In all of its years, Yun Lu Academy had never caught fire before. How could the kitchen have suddenly caught fire once Zi Rui went there? He helplessly shook his head, “There really wasn’t any chance to prepare. To be able to do something like this, it seems like Yun Lu Academy is not actually safe. Once the criminals have mostly mixed in with the academy, I will immediately send a message to the hidden guards over there to be extra vigilant.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded and did not continue to speak about Xiao Zhou’s matters, only saying: “You’ve worked hard.”
Ban Zou was startled and subconsciously waved his hand before standing up, “I am your hidden guard. As long as you don’t chase me away, it’s fine.” After he finished speaking, he disappeared with a flash.
Feng Yu Heng felt as though she had drank a little too much. Otherwise, she would not have seen a trace of nostalgia on the face of a hidden guard that should be emotionless.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Tian Ming moved his wheelchair back to her side. She did not want to think about trivial matters, as she returned her mind to the feast. Borrowing some strength from the alcohol, she said to Xuan Tian Ming: “I’ll sing a song for you!”
A look of surprised appeared in Xuan Tian Ming’s eyes. This girl was taking the initiative to sing for him? Haha! He believed that this damn girl had no knowledge of any feminine acts. Who knew that she knew how to sing!
He deliberately troubled her: “Singing a song requires music as an accompaniment. Beloved consort, you should play a tune while singing. That is most suited for the occasion.”
Feng Yu Heng looked at him with a bright smile. Pulling Wang Chuan’s wide sleeve over to cover her wrist, she pulled out a guitar.
Wang Chuan felt that she must not have gone blind and quickly pulled Huang Quan over, pointing at the guitar and saying: “Young miss pulled off another magic trick.”
The three stared blankly at the thing in Feng Yu Heng’s hand. Nobody knew what this thing was. Xuan Tian Ming saw that this thing had strings and guessed that it might be similar to a zither. Reaching out, he plucked one. Sure enough, sound came out.
The sound was not loud, but it still alerted a group of soldiers that was not far away. Everyone gathered around and looked at the guitar with confusion.
Perhaps Feng Yu Heng had truly drank too much. She was clearly much more spirited than before, as she used her finger to point at the guitar and loudly said: “This thing is called a guitar. It is a type of instrument. In my master’s hometown, this sort of instrument is very popular.” While saying this, she began plucking at the strings, causing the guitar’s unique sound to reverberate. It was different from a guqin, and it carried a charm that nobody had heard before.
A soldier shouted: “County princess, play a song for us!”
Once this was said, everyone immediately echoed this, “County princess, play a song” was the shout that repeated itself. In fact, even Xuan Tian Ming followed suit.
She smiled and said to everyone: “Very well! I will play a song then. I will not just play, I will also sing.” Saying this, she walked up a hill then sat down on the dirt. Holding the guitar in her lap, she placed the megaphone, that she had used once before, in front of it. Only then did she say to Xuan Tian Ming: “I will sing you a song. I improved on it myself, and nobody else has sung this song. Have a listen.”
Once she finished speaking, the modern instrument came to life with a modern song. This led everyone down a trip through time and space. Even Feng Yu Heng had a hard time telling if this was the military camp of Da Shun or the military of the 21st century.
While in this trance, she opened her mouth, and a familiar melody came forth.
The country is so spoiled
Thanks to countless heroes that have toiled
Graceful women have such beauty
That heroes care not for their country
Every glance and word so seductively tender
No matter how beautiful the country, it cannot compare to a beautiful woman’s smile
“Nian Nu Jiao” was originally a fast-paced song. She liked it in her previous life. When she was bored, she would make changes to it based on her own preferences. Playing the guitar while slowly singing “Nian Nu Jiao” gave it an artistic feeling that could not be achieved with electronic sound, especially when added to where they came from. How could something with a trace of an ancient sound compare to it?
The waves of the Yangtze River surge East carrying ancient gallant souls
The ancient fort to the West is said to be where Zhou of the Three Kingdoms fought the Battle of Red Cliffs
Stones cast wildly burst through clouds, as waves crashed and piled up foam like snow.
