Chapter 65 Farewell My Concubine



Today is the day that Baili Tang will sing for all the soldiers, but no one knows when he will sing.

These days, Song An and the other two have basically figured out the situation on Wuya Peak.

There are twelve peaks here, both high and low. Each peak is connected, and the terrain is strategic, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Some peaks are crowded, while others are less crowded. Some have over ten thousand people, while others have less than two thousand.

If they wanted to destroy the salt in the mountains, it was clearly impossible for the three of them to do it alone. Furthermore, wherever they went, they would be under surveillance. After dark, the suspicious Xiang Tiange would even jail them.

Don’t think that just because Song An’s story is interesting, or that Xiang Tiange will be lenient towards them just because Zhang Qianqian is pretty.

This is a critical moment, so Xiang Tiange must be extra careful.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!

Baili Tang's stage was located only three miles from the foot of Wuya Peak. It was more of a stage than a competition arena, with gongs and drums placed on both sides.

Should we remember what happened today?

The historians were in a dilemma. They didn't dare to go to Baili Tang, so they could only go to Zhang Dongzheng first: "Master Zhang, do you want to record what happened today?"

Zhang Dongzheng laughed and said, "The world has probably already known this. Whether or not you remember it, Your Majesty will be remembered for eternity!" He wasn't sure whether it would be remembered for eternity. After all, Your Majesty hadn't sung it for them first and given them some comments...

I have to say that Zhang Dongzheng is really good at talking.

Remember or not, Your Majesty will be remembered forever!

Since Your Majesty will be remembered for eternity, why don't you remember it?

The historians found that they were becoming increasingly disgusted with Zhang Dongzheng. If they had known this earlier, they would not have bothered themselves.

To be honest, although everyone was skeptical about their Majesty's willful desire to sing, they were more curious.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and yet you can sing for them, which shows that Your Majesty is thinking of them in your heart.

This is a great blessing, what else can they be dissatisfied with?

Let's just endure it and listen. Anyway, His Majesty will probably only sing it once or twice... Just bear with it and it will be over.

Everyone was ready. There were no microphones or speakers in ancient times. With so many people, even if they gathered very closely and densely, only a few people would be able to hear it.

There are also spies around, so it is even more impossible for them to hear what song Baili Tang will sing in a while.

This was also the reason why Baili Tang wanted Meng Fang to sing. He had heard that those who practiced martial arts had internal strength. If Meng Fang used his internal strength to sing, he wondered what the effect would be.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd—oh, everyone—Bai Litang slowly walked onto the stage. He glanced around at the soldiers with a smile on his face.

"As the saying goes: 'The waters of Peach Blossom Pond are a thousand feet deep, but they are not as deep as the money Wang Lun gave me! How can rewarding the troops be more practical than pure silver? But I am too poor. I heard from Minister Zhang that the treasury has been running short of expenditures in recent years, yet there are already 30,000 people present.

If I were to reward you with three taels of silver each, I wouldn't be able to afford it. It should at least be a hundred taels, right? But that would cost me three million taels of silver. I'd have to sell ten thousand Royal No. 1 threshing machines, my dears...

So, Zhang Aiqing advised me: Sing, Your Majesty!

In this way, all the three armies are filled with gratitude, remember it in their hearts, and will never forget it...

After some deep thought, I adopted Mr. Zhang's suggestion!

I will sing a song for you today!

No more nonsense, let’s get started!”

Everyone around the stage who could hear Baili Tang speaking was very happy.

Lord Zhang Dongzheng, who was holding a pipa and preparing on the stage, had a handsome face but a slightly stinky look.

Your Majesty, you are really going too far!

In a while, if the song you sing is not nice, everyone will "spit" at him; if you sing well, he will probably have endless troubles in the future.

He's the one who gets hurt anyway!

What song is Baili Tang going to sing?

Could it be the theme song of the TV series "Water Margin" - "Hero Song"?

Unless Baili Tang is truly crazy! This is equivalent to telling Xiang Tiange that Chao Man'er and the other two are their people...

He wants to sing a soul-stirring and awe-inspiring song!

"Brother Erhu, are you ready?"

"Your Majesty, we are ready!"

There was more than just Brother Erhu playing the drums, there were several others. Zhang Dongzheng was accompanying with the pipa, and there was also a civil servant who understood music and was responsible for stringing the bells.

The original accompaniment instruments for the song that Baili Tang is going to sing next are as follows: timpani, folk drum, folk drum, guitar, pipa, and string bells.

What about timpani, folk drum, folk drum? There's only a marching drum here!

Guitar? No! But guitar isn't my main instrument!

The main instruments are drums and pipa!!

With Baili Tang waved his hand!

Erhu started playing the drums first, using a very light touch but at a very fast speed! The bells followed suit, creating a tense atmosphere—a tense situation!

A moment later, Zhang Dongzheng's pipa began to play! The sound was passionate and thrilling, giving people the illusion of being trapped - an ambush from all sides!

"This is the background music, it's so magnificent and majestic, it's probably rare in the world! Lord Zhang is really a genius!" Someone exclaimed, and the people around him immediately "hushed"!

Quiet!

Stop yelling!!

Your Majesty is about to speak!

Liang Qiuyu was watching, Chao Hong was watching, Meng Fang was watching, Eunuch Yang was watching, Imperial Physician Lu was watching, and countless other eyes were watching... Baili Tang's mouth, waiting for him to sing the first line of the lyrics! !

Baili Tang also let them see what it means to kneel down when you open your mouth -

"I stand in the fierce wind
