Chapter 387 (2/2)

With feather fan and silk kerchief, in a time of laughter, the fearsome foe disappeared in smoke and ash

The song that was originally sung by Yi Neng Jing’s soft voice became a bit harsher and a bit more metallic when sung by Feng Yu Heng. It was no longer a soft song. It had instead become an inky painting of mountains and rivers. Without losing an momentum, it suited the atmosphere perfectly.

When the sound stopped coming from the guitar, there was no sound of any applause for a long time. Feng Yu Heng became unhappy, “Hey! Say something!”

Who knew who took the lead by shouting “Good!” but the sound of a deafening applause followed coming from three garrisons of soldiers.

In truth, how could just the word good express the beauty of this song. But these sturdy soldiers were not too literate. They did not know what sorts of words should be used to express their feelings. They could only continue to applaud, causing Feng Yu Heng to become startled.

Xuan Tian Ming also began to laugh then pointed at Feng Yu Heng, loudly saying: “Girl! Are you telling this prince that this entire country cannot compare to just one smile from you?”

Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a bit of a provocative feeling: “What do you think?”

Xuan Tian Ming gave her a great deal of face and nodded, “This prince also believes this, but there is something incorrect with your song. It should not be Three Kingdoms, it should be all countries under the heavens. How could three kingdoms be enough? When marrying our Heng Heng, this prince must provide you with the best patch of land under the heavens and the best country!”

“Good!” She stood up from the hill, “So many comrades heard it! Xuan Tian Ming, this is something you said yourself. You must give me the best things!”

“That’s right!” He raised his voice a bit and happily said: “I must give you the best things! The very, very best things in the world!”

“Yeah!” She happily leaped up and immediately returned to being a 13-year-old child in the blink of an eye. She then looked at the soldiers, “You’ve already heard it, right? Remember this for me! If he does not stick to his word, you must help me get a fair judgment!”

The soldiers laughed and said: “County princess, don’t worry. We heard it!”

Like this, the event washed over the how the blacksmiths and their apprentices viewed the prince. What they never expected was that county princess Ji An continuously called him Xuan Tian Ming, directly calling him by his name. This… this was truly too out of order!

But they immediately realized that for this future couple of the ninth prince and her, what order was there to follow. He doted on this girl to the heavens, and this girl’s abilities surpassed the heavens. This pair of people, anything that they did was right.

The soldiers began another round of drinking, and many people gathered around Feng Yu Heng, taking turns toasting her. Although Xuan Tian Ming reminded them: “You absolutely must not cause this prince’s wife to become drunk.” How could those that were already drunk listen to him, as they toasted her with cup after cup! Feng Yu Heng also received cup after cup to drink!

As she continued to drink, she really did end up drinking too much. She tugged Xuan Tian Ming’s sleeve and said with a smile: “That song I just sang is called “Nian Nu Jiao”, and it reveals my young girl complex. It proves that I also know how to play the zither and sing. But that is only suitable for me to sing. It does not suit men.”

Xuan Tian Ming smirked and had a bit of a bad feeling, “What is it? You want for men to sing as well?”

“Why not? Could it be that you did not know that there are people that sing when fighting? Or they are called military songs. They are a type of song that lifts morale!”

Her words caused Xuan Tian Ming to feel a little moved. The soldiers that heard were also a bit moved. Xuan Tian Ming asked her: “Then you know those sorts of songs?”

“I must!” Feng Yu Heng leaped up from the ground, “But there is no need for me to teach. I will sing it for everyone to hear, and everyone can learn together!”

She turned around and fumbled around in her sleeve before pulling out a walkman. She then pulled out an audio system and plugged it in. Xuan Tian Ming did not understand what sort of mechanism she pressed, but he suddenly heard a very loud song come from the weird things called stereos. That song was very odd, and he was completely unable to figure out what sort of instruments were used. He only felt that this song caused him to become spirited. The hot blood in his chest was on the verge of bursting forth, and he hated that he could not immediately charge onto the battlefield.

With this sort of excitement, there was also a very hard to describe feeling inside. The song also had lyrics. Govern the family, the country and ensure peace in the world, the three armies, and the entire world is home, which one of these was not something that they thought about? Which one of these did not cause their blood to boil?

This song was left to play again and again. Who knew how many times it repeated, but they were unable to get enough. The more they listened, the better it sounded. As they listened, they began to sing. One sang, then two sang, and in the end, 30 thousand people were singing.

One, two, three four, one, two, three, four, it was like a song.

Green barracks, green barracks, teach me

How to sing to make the valleys move

How to sing to make the flowers bloom and water flow

…

The three garrisons began to sing.

The entire world was their home

The more they sang, the louder it became. The more they sang, the more excited the atmosphere was. Like this, even Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng began to sing along. The blacksmiths and their apprentices also sang. Everyone was singing. The sounds of this song echoed in this valley for a long time, becoming the most beautiful song in this world.

Just as everyone felt that the military songs at the feast had reached their climax, a certain drunk girl’s mind suddenly came up with an idea. She once again tugged on Xuan Tian Ming’s sleeve and shouted through the singing of the soldiers: “Just singing is no fun. Let’s also dance!”

Although dancing was something that men did not do, having experienced singing, Xuan Tian Ming felt that the dance that Feng Yu Heng mentioned should be some sort of high-end amazing dance, thus he nodded, “Good! Teach them to dance!”

Feng Yu Heng then used her pinky to poke the walkman a bit. The perfectly good military song immediately changed its tune. A song that was definitely “high-end” came from the two stereos.

“You are my little apple! No matter how I love you, there is never enough…”
