Dawn at Daybreak (2)
"Where are the others?" Ye Lang glanced at Liu Feiyan and asked with some curiosity. There were other girls present when they were preparing for the rehearsal.
"They think they don't need to go, I'm enough on my own!" Liu Feiyan said with a smile, a hint of cunning in her smile.
"Huh?" Ye Lang was a little confused, but he didn't really care. "Whatever, I'm only responsible for my own things, I can't worry about the rest!"
"Hmm! As long as you provide the accompaniment, nothing else matters... Perhaps, having anything else would be superfluous and might even hinder the feeling..." Liu Feiyan said with a faint smile.
That's right, some things aren't better the more you have. Liu Feiyan and the others knew this, and afterwards they were sure of their decision because what happened next made them realize that perfection doesn't allow for anything superfluous.
"Are you ready? If so, let's begin!" Ye Lang asked Liu Feiyan, his hands resting on the keyboard.
"I'm ready...you can begin..." Liu Feiyan nodded. She could get into the zone anytime, anywhere. She was a very professional person and also a person with great talent.
Ye Lang stopped making a sound. To be precise, he didn't use his body to make a sound; he used his hands to dance across the keyboard, making the piano produce that beautiful sound.
Ye Lang's piano piece this time felt a bit strange, because the piano pieces that everyone had heard before were usually very gentle, as if telling a beautiful love story, but this time, Ye Lang's piano prelude gave people a sense of grandeur.
Why can a piano produce such a sound, giving people such a majestic feeling? Am I hearing it wrong, or am I feeling it wrong?
That's right, that's correct!!
When Liu Feiyan began to sing, everyone understood that the piece itself possessed such power. Although it was played on the piano, and although Liu Feiyan looked delicate and graceful, the two of them could bring everyone into the shattered battlefield and make everyone's blood boil.
No one expected that someone would play such a piece at this time. Perhaps it was the contrast that made the music feel even more profound and the emotional impact even greater.
This will be a piece of music they will never forget for the rest of their lives, and it will also make them realize that what is common does not necessarily mean what is inevitable!
Who says women can't sing powerful songs or tragic battle songs? Who says the piano has to be played with tenderness?
As the last chariot raced into the dark distance...
I stood atop the crumbling city wall and gazed into the distance.
Let my thoughts drift away like gunpowder smoke.
A sliver of light appeared on the distant horizon, piercing through the blackness that belonged to light...
This is...
My dawn...
As Liu Feiyan's singing ended and Ye Lang's piano playing ceased, this tragic battle song deeply moved everyone present, making them feel their blood still boiling.
Ye Lang and Liu Feiyan's battle song was truly unexpected; no one could have imagined that such a tragic battle song would be performed at a birthday banquet.
From this point on, Liu Feiyan will become a prominent figure across the entire continent, a dazzling star followed by everyone, and surprisingly, the largest number of her fans are soldiers!
Because this time she sang a war song, and war songs are naturally most suitable for passionate soldiers!
For a very long time afterward, even spanning a thousand years, Ye Lang and Liu Feiyan's battle song remained the most frequently sung battle song among the armies of various countries on the continent!
At this point, even those who least believed in Ye Lang's talent had to come to believe it, while those who looked down on Ye Lang and Liu Feiyan wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
Especially Prince Wuji and his two children, the proud princess was now gritting her teeth and trembling all over. She knew she had been defeated, utterly defeated!
"What a little bastard! Singing such a tragic war song at my birthday banquet, I really want to punch you! But... this war song is indeed very good, so you pass!!"
The Empress Dowager spoke amidst the silence, pulling everyone's souls back to reality!
"Hehe, I originally intended to use this one first, and then switch back with Huan Qin. Now it's gone!" Ye Lang said with a smile. Originally, Liu Feiyan didn't dare to collaborate with Ye Lang on such a battle song. It wasn't suitable. Although it was impressive, she was afraid that the Empress Dowager and others would be unhappy.
However, with Ye Lang's Huan Qin as her support, she wasn't afraid of anything, because she believed that Ye Lang's Huan Qin would bring the atmosphere back on track.
Wrong...
"Ah..." Liu Feiyan was startled. Now that Huan Qin had come early, and given Ye Lang's personality, he would never do it again. Wouldn't that be the same situation she had feared before?
Forget it, he's got the backing anyway, what am I afraid of?!
Judging from the results, there shouldn't be any problems...
"Ye Lang, what's the name of this battle song?" Vermilion Bird Emperor interrupted at this moment, while Ye Chengtian was also staring intently at Ye Lang. He really wanted to ask Ye Lang this question and question why Ye Lang hadn't brought it out earlier, as a good battle song is of great use to morale.
If they weren't in the Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace at this time, Ye Chengtian would have already pulled Ye Lang over to ask him questions.
"This is called... it's called Dawn!!"
"..."
Ye Lang's words made it clear that he seemed to have come up with the name casually, and had not given the battle song a name before!
"Dawn breaks, excellent, perfectly capturing the spirit of this war song!! Darkness is about to pass, dawn is about to arrive... Good, very good..." Vermilion Bird Emperor praised.
"Alright, that's enough for now..." Ye Lang closed the piano lid, ready to pack up and leave.
"Wait! You just said you'd add another song for me, what are you planning to do now?" the Empress Dowager said immediately. She could tell that Ye Lang was trying to get away with it.
"This is such a hassle, I was hoping to get away with it!" Ye Lang slumped weakly onto the piano.
"Boss, do you need my help?" Liu Feiyan asked at this moment, and sat down on Ye Lang's stool. The two were very close, which made some people feel jealous.
"Help me? No need. Just give her any song. Let me think... Okay, this one will do..." Ye Lang said nonchalantly. Judging from his tone, he would play one song and then stop. He didn't want to make the result any more perfect because he didn't care about that.
If it were someone else, they might consider that because of the previous song "Dawn," they would definitely have a more perfect, or at least near-perfect, piece next, instead of just casually putting together a piece like Ye Lang, which would leave people feeling disappointed.
