Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

At that time, several satellite TV channels were broadcasting "The Legend of Xue Rengui", which was an unforgettable memory for those born in the 80s and 90s. Bao Jianfeng's role as Xue Rengui was very impressive. He possessed unparalleled martial arts but was hidden in the Huotou Camp, which was very similar to Gao Fei's experience. Zhang Jingwei often stood up for Gao Fei, especially when people in the army admired him.

……

Zhang Jingwei stood still with a solemn expression, took a deep breath, and then cleared his throat heavily. Only a low sound came out of his throat: "Ahem!"

The cough was like a signal flare, instantly attracting the attention of those around them. The few Yunzhou students who had come to attend the banquet were even more excited, shouting, "It's starting! It's starting! I have to hurry and squeeze to the front. I can't miss the excitement!" And so, like nimble fish, they rushed left and right, pushing their way forward.

Zhang Jingwei had already prepared his emotions. He suddenly opened his mouth and howled like a roaring lion: "One long roar, and all directions will be at peace!"

This sudden roar was like a thunderclap, shattering the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere of the banquet. Gao Fei, sitting nearby, trembled with fear. His hand trembled, and he lost his grip on the delicate wine glass, which fell to the ground with a clang, splashing the wine inside onto his clothes. But Gao Fei no longer cared about this. He stared at Zhang Jingwei with wide eyes and a look of astonishment.

Zhang Jingwei was not affected at all, and continued to sing with a long tail tone: "The sun and the moon leave traces~" Then, he sang the next line of lyrics with a voice full of emotion: "A vast river and mountain, a stormy road, history is like this~"

At this moment, the musicians in the mansion seemed to be moved by Zhang Jingwei's singing, and an indescribable resonance welled up in their hearts. They all took up their instruments and spontaneously accompanied Zhang Jingwei. Although they had never heard this song before, at this moment, the music seemed to have come to life, flowing out naturally.

The atmosphere reached a crescendo when Zhang Jingwei sang the chorus. The thundering drums, the clanging piano, and the soaring, passionate suona—the three distinct sounds intertwined to create a powerful, awe-inspiring experience. Everyone present was captivated by the beautiful melody, some even feeling their very hair stand on end.

"A real man's heart is with the people. A real man shoulders heavy responsibilities~" Zhang Jingwei's singing voice became louder and louder, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Zhang Jingwei took a deep breath and dragged out a long high note at the end.

"A promise worth a thousand gold, a deep love for family and country, an eternal legendary monument—!"

The rapid drum beats and high-pitched suona music give the song a perfect ending.

When the song ended, the whole audience fell silent, but everyone's rapid breathing could be heard.

Zhang Jingwei has a great voice. He's a karaoke master and a host at company parties. He can sing this song in its entirety. That's because when he was a kid, TV dramas couldn't skip theme songs, so he hummed along every night and naturally learned it. He always orders this song at karaoke, and every time he sings it, he gets a standing ovation.

But the completely silent reaction today really left him a little confused.

Zhang Jingwei smiled, scratched his head, and said timidly: "This song is dedicated to my good friend and my savior - Brother Gao! I am sorry for making a fool of myself here today, I hope you will forgive me, sorry for the embarrassing performance." After that, he bowed slightly to the audience.

At this moment, Gao Fei, who was sitting nearby, seemed a little excited and nervous. He stood up, clasped his hands together, and said in thanks, "Thank you...thank you...thank you, Master Zhang...Master Zhang!"

Zhang Jingwei hurriedly stepped forward, held Gao Fei's shoulders, and said sincerely: "We should call each other brothers. If you don't forsake me, I am willing to worship you as my elder brother... Oh, no, it should be elder brother! From now on, I will call you brother, and you can call me brother." After saying that, he looked at Gao Fei expectantly.

After hearing this, Gao Fei's eyes flashed with emotion. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and then laboriously read out two words, "Brother!"

Zhang Jingwei responded excitedly, "Yes, big brother!" As soon as he finished speaking, the two smiled at each other, and their friendship became even deeper.

At this moment, everyone came to their senses and applauded. The applause was like thunder, echoing throughout the mansion.

Among them, the suona player said with great emotion: "I have been in the music troupe for more than ten years, but I have never played so freely as I did today!"

The young musician next to him nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Yes, yes. When I was playing just now, I felt like I was almost reaching that state of unity between man and piano that the teacher described!"

The drummer praised loudly, "Zhang Linsheng is truly a brilliant young talent! With such talent, why worry about rituals and music not flourishing?"

For a time, the voices of praise were endless.

At the wine table, Jiuer stared at Huangfu Ling with wide eyes in astonishment, her mouth wide open enough for an egg to fit in, and she stammered, "I really... I never thought that your husband would have such amazing skills!" As she spoke, she shook her head unconsciously, as if everything she saw was beyond her imagination.

After hearing this, Huangfu Ling's face immediately broke out into a proud and happy smile. She raised her chin slightly and responded proudly: "Of course not! My husband is a student of Yunzhou Academy. Naturally, he has abilities that others can't reach!" Her words were full of admiration and pride for her husband.

At this time, Lu Juanjuan, who was sitting next to them, could not contain her inner excitement and interrupted excitedly: "Oh my, I put in a lot of effort today, acting like a spoiled child and crying, and finally pestered my father to agree to bring me here. Now it seems that all this fuss was really worth it and not in vain!" After saying that, she giggled and showed two cute dimples.

Ma Tianmao raised his glass and toasted the man at the main seat. He smiled and praised, "Brother Jingwei is truly a rare talent, a rare and outstanding person in the world! He has shown his extraordinary qualities since he was young, and now he is even more talented. He will definitely be famous in the future!"

The princess blinked her bright eyes and said intoxicatedly, "This song is so beautiful! I must ask him to teach me."

Huangfu Ling rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said with a hint of annoyance, "Humph, you're leaving for home tomorrow. Do you really want him to teach you a lesson tonight?"

The princess refused to give in. She pulled Huangfu Ling's sleeve and shook her, begging in a delicate voice, "Sister, when you go to bed with him at night, can you take me with you? That way I can ask him for advice at any time."

Huangfu Ling blushed upon hearing this and quickly shook off the princess's hand, angrily saying, "Go away! You're not a concubine, how can there be such a rule? Besides, even if I were willing to take you, he would never agree!"

At this moment, Ma Tianmao, who had been sitting quietly drinking nearby, suddenly burst out laughing. The wine he had just taken a sip of instantly turned into a stream of water, gushing out of his nose and splashing all over the table. While frantically wiping the wine from the corners of his mouth and his collar, he thought to himself: Hehe, with Brother Jingwei's usual lustful and ruffian temperament, he might actually agree to the princess's ridiculous request!
