Chapter 249 The Demon Star Appears
The imperial guards formation was in place, as was the military band.
"Stand at attention! Look to the right... Look forward..."
Fang Ping shouted orders loudly, and the entire Imperial Guards formation stood in the center of the banquet, ready for battle!
He stood in front of the phalanx, holding a black wooden stick in his hand and making a gesture.
Then the imperial guard standing in the center suddenly raised the bugle in his hand and blew the prelude.
As the bugle sounded, the momentum of the charge instantly swept through the entire hall.
A powerful male chorus suddenly sounded after the charge:
If the motherland is invaded...
A passionate man should be self-reliant...
Drink up this bowl of hometown wine
The strong man never comes back
........
Military flags flutter and bugles sound
The sword is unsheathed, thunder and lightning
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
Moving forward Moving forward
Moving forward Moving forward
move forward
Yongguo Military Spirit
.......
The singing was loud and deafening, and the soldiers' momentum in defending their country almost blew the roof of the entire hall off.
Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, until a song ended and the imperial guards knelt on one knee and shouted "Long live!", then they came to their senses!
"Good! Good!" Emperor Yong looked at the group of passionate young men below who performed a military song so heroically, and felt a sense of pride instantly surge in his chest!
"This is what our Great Yong soldiers are like! Lord Fang, you taught me well, you taught me well!"
Emperor Yong was very satisfied with the military song performance and rewarded all the imperial guards who participated in the demonstration, with each of them receiving ten strings of cash and ten pieces of brocade.
Fang Ping himself also received a reward of 100 taels of gold and was promoted one rank!
"Lord Fang, I'll leave the training of this military band to you. If you have time, compose a few more military songs. Make sure they are passed down by word of mouth among the soldiers to increase the cohesion of the army!"
Emperor Yong felt a kind of military soul-like power from the momentum of the song just now, so he hoped that this power could be passed down forever.
Not only Emperor Yong, but all the generals present were also infected by this aura and became more friendly towards Fang Ping.
Even Qi Yu, Zhang Mingxuan and the others no longer looked at Fang Ping with the perspective that this kid only knew how to talk nonsense. Instead, they felt a sense of respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Even the use of music itself has changed from its original purpose of pleasing the mind and bringing joy to the shocking realization that good music can also create miracles.
Qi Yu suddenly remembered the song Fang Ping played for Princess Zhaohua in Fengcheng. Recalling the previous melody, although the lyrics were a bit straightforward, the music was indeed good.
But for him, he couldn't sing it.
But Gu Mingzhe was eager to try it out. He was a music lover and it seemed that he could ask Fang Ping for more advice later.
I must make Her Royal Highness the Princess like him even more.
He just noticed Qi Yu's murderous look, and he was afraid that he would be as shameless as himself and let His Highness look at him a few more times.
The opponent is too strong and he feels a sense of crisis at all times.
But seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess likes Fang Ping's singing, it can be seen that Her Royal Highness really appreciates men who can sing.
As for why the other party didn’t take action?
Gu Mingzhe touched his own smooth little face. Although Fang Ping was very talented, his appearance was far inferior to his.
Your Highness is a beauty-obsessed person, so he will naturally fall for his handsome face.
He has to protect his face!
While Zhong Ning was marveling at this, he saw several old generals pulling Fang Ping aside to start a lively conversation. Fang Ping was surrounded by these military uncles and was trembling with fear. He could only bow repeatedly in an attempt to be let go.
"Royal brother, this must be Lord Xiaofang, who is known as the immortal poet who has descended to earth, right?" Prince Cheng suddenly spoke.
Emperor Yong nodded slightly, and Fang Ping stood up and bowed in the direction of Prince Cheng.
"I have always heard that Lord Fang has amazing talent in poetry, but I never thought that he is also very accomplished in music. I admire him so much!" King Cheng felt the momentum of the military music just now and admired Fang Ping very much.
How great would it be if this boy was his son-in-law?
Prince Cheng turned to look at his daughter, whom he had doted on since childhood, but saw that she, a young girl, was still obsessed with Princess Zhaohua's future husband in front of everyone.
Alas, it’s all bad fate!
Prince Cheng followed her gaze and saw Gu Mingzhe personally holding the chopsticks, picking up a piece of snow-white fish and placing it on the plate in front of Princess Zhaohua.
This clingy look really makes people jealous.
But his good daughter was still staring at them, with a bitter look in her eyes like a torrential rain, and she vowed to drown the couple sitting at the opposite table alive.
Zhong Ning was feeling a little uneasy at the moment.
Because now, there were at least three gazes fixed on her, one from Qi Yu, one from Murong Yin, and one from Fang Ping.
She could understand that Murong Yin and Qi Yu were paying attention to her, but what about Fang Ping?
Zhong Ning didn't understand what was going on and just turned around to look over.
But when Fang Ping saw her looking at him, he turned his head away, as if he was sulking.
Zhong Ning frowned slightly, making sure that she didn't make him angry.
Especially since this was the first time the two met after the autumn hunt.
Why did you suddenly get angry?
Logically speaking, the two of them should call each other brother and sister. They were siblings of different surnames who had a clear path before the emperor. She indeed treated Fang Ping, Zhang Wanting, and Lu Xingzhou, her three fellow villagers, as brothers and sisters.
But why, suddenly?
Before Zhong Ning could think clearly, a palace servant suddenly came hurriedly from outside the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, Lord Chu Nanxing requests an audience!"
"Xuan!"
After a while, an old man in his fifties, dressed in official robes, came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, a great disaster has occurred!"
Chu Nanxing crawled on the ground and shouted loudly. Emperor Yong was immediately panicked. After all, the Imperial Observatory has always been mainly responsible for monitoring celestial phenomena, and they would not easily go to the palace without something important.
Now, as soon as Chu Nanxing entered the hall, he started talking about the impending disaster. How could people not be frightened?
"Your Majesty, last night, while observing the celestial phenomena, I discovered that an unknown demonic star suddenly appeared next to Ziwei Star. It is now shining at its brightest, almost as bright as Ziwei Star itself. If this continues, the one will grow stronger while the other will lose, which is detrimental to the country."
"Your Majesty, please conduct a thorough investigation into the evil star that has appeared in the court within the past three months. Only by eliminating this evil threat can the nation prosper!"
When the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said this, he bowed solemnly to the ground.
The other people at the banquet were already shocked by these remarks.
The evil star appears in the world, and it appears within three months.
Perhaps, during the banquet.
Everyone looked at them in shock, and then they thought of the newcomers in the court in the past three months, and the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly Princess Zhaohua.
Prince Cheng was the first to lose his temper. He quickly stepped forward to the center of the banquet hall, bowed and said, "My Royal Brother, this evil star is so abominable. My Royal Brother must investigate it thoroughly and send it into the abyss so that it can no longer harm the Holy Body of National Destiny."
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory," Emperor Yong suddenly asked, "Who exactly is this evil star you are referring to?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory slowly stood up, and then with a heavy expression, he suddenly pointed in the direction of Zhong Ning:
"This evil star is a Yin star. There are differences between evil stars. Within three months, anyone who has this kind of brilliance must be Princess Zhaohua."
