The banquet officially began, tonight was full of Japanese, the dishes on the table were all sushi, the Japanese cuisine was cooked, the wine was also Japanese sake, the guests of honor toasted each other frequently, the sound of glass clinking, the atmosphere was very warm and grand.

The banquet did not end until ten o'clock in the evening, and some of the main officers of the Yokohama Brigade and the prefectural garrison stayed behind to accompany General Saiteng, and the others took their leave, and returned to their own barracks, and the soldiers of the gendarmerie led by Nishizawa and Matsuzaki, as well as off-road jeeps and military trucks, remained in Xunyuan, because they were going to escort General Saiteng and the senior officials back to Suzhou tomorrow, and Yokohama Yoshiko, her adjutant and subordinates, Nojima, Okamura, Kitakuraoka and others accompanied Saiteng to the second floor to enjoy the music.

When Kitakuraoka went upstairs, he quietly instructed Yoshino Mei and Ogasawara to be careful and protective, tonight was the last night for the high-ranking officials, and there must be no carelessness.

Yoshinomi and Ogasawara received the order, and immediately went to urge the special forces and gendarmes upstairs and downstairs and in front of and behind the garden to cheer up and carefully guard the patrol.

Zhai Teng and the adjutant returned to the third floor, put the briefcase in the safe, and changed into kimonos before going to the hall on the second floor to enjoy the music.

Kitakuraoka also checked back and forth in the corridor on the second floor, and then came to the second floor, the second floor was still brightly lit, magnificent, the colored grinding stone floor was polished, and the banner of farewell to the generals was also pulled on the top of the platform, and the flowers on both sides of the platform were also stacked more than yesterday, gorgeous and colorful, and fragrant.

Behind the guzheng qin on the platform is still sitting the pure and beautiful girl dressed in Japanese women's clothes, sitting quietly behind the guzheng qin, preparing to play the music, but behind her there is another girl, with a more slender figure, paw face, big eyes, red lips a little red, but she is not a Japanese woman dressed, long hair is coiled on the head into a parrot shape, there are two very long, snow-white red crane tail feathers inserted in the back of the head, an emerald green folded butterfly skirt, embroidered with white calla lily flowers, A pale green transparent gauze scarf is draped over his shoulders, and he is young and looks quite cute.

Kitakuraoka became alert, and couldn't help but speed up his steps and walked over, came to the front of the platform, stopped, and kept looking at the strange girl, the strange girl was embarrassed by him, her cheeks were crimson, and she quickly lowered her head.

Hua Qinglang understood, and hurriedly stood up and explained to Kitakuraoka; "Sir, tonight is the night to see off the generals, the general is very fond of the guzheng, I specially invited my little sister to come and help the fun, her guzheng plays better than me," he said, pointing to the girl behind him and then introduced; "Her name is Luzhu, is the Taoist aunt who practiced in the Bailian Taoist Temple in Fengqiao, outside Suzhou, her legal name is Huiyu, for us who learn piano art, it is rare to meet a few people in our lives, and thank you to the general, so appreciate the little woman's piano skills, the little woman was very moved, so I invited my little sister to help the fun, so that the general is not worth the trip to Xixian County."

Bei Canggang heard her tell her truthfully, a pair of daughters are delicate and exquisite, very cute, and it doesn't matter if you want to have an extra weak woman, after all, there are still Black Dragon Society masters like herself in the hall, so she nodded gently; "Okay, just let her help, it's rare that you are grateful, thank you."

After Kitakuraoka finished speaking, he went until General Saiteng found an empty sofa and sat down, watching General Saiteng and several generals talking about something with great interest.

General Zhai Teng and those high-ranking officials drank a lot of wine tonight, and they all looked red and smelled of wine, and Zhai Teng suddenly thought of something, and said to Beicang Gang from afar; "Beicang-kun, please ask someone to remove these fruits, or serve Chinese food and Chinese wine, we still have some leftovers."

Kitakuraoka immediately stood up and walked to the gate, gave a command to the people of the Chamber of Commerce, and then turned back to his couch.

Although Kitakuraoka does not have too deep research on music, he can still hear that this guzheng is not so good to play Japanese music, and it is necessary to play Chinese music more pleasantly.

The maids came in, put the fruit aside, put down Chinese food and wine, and Zhai Teng and the high-ranking officials began to drink again.

Kitakuraoka also picked up a glass of wine, came to Zhai Teng and Yokohama Yoshiko, and raised a glass to Sai Teng and Yokohama Yoshiko; "Your Excellency General, the girl who played the piano heard that you were leaving tomorrow, and specially invited one of her junior sisters, named Lu Zhu, who is a Taoist cultivator of the Bailian Taoist Temple in Fengqiao, outside Suzhou, I heard that her piano is better than Miss Sakura, and she is also grateful for the appreciation of His Excellency the General, and also for His Excellency the General."

When Zhai Teng heard this, he smiled even more, and kept nodding his head; "This girl is well-behaved and understanding, but it's a pity that I have raised two sons in my life, and they left me very early to live in the military academy, and it is rare to see each other, and it is really a pity that I did not have a daughter, and I enjoyed the joy of family and the joy of kneeling." Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes, smiled wryly, and said to Kitakuraoka; "Next time I come here, I will definitely accept that girl as my goddaughter, anyway, she has no parents."

Kitakuraoka immediately flattered; "Okay, then congratulations to Your Excellency General! The humble duty must take good care of your goddaughter for His Excellency the General. ”

Yokohama Yoshiko and several other generals also raised their glasses and piled up their glasses to congratulate him; "That's good, Your Excellency the General has been fighting in the rain of bullets all his life, if you have time, there is such a well-behaved daughter, pour wine for you, make tea, and play one or two pieces of music for you, the fun is endless!"

The commander of the Japanese army in Suzhou went straight to the road; "Then tonight, I will accept her goddaughter and take her back to Nanjing."

Zhai Teng hurriedly shook his hand; "No, not now! At the juncture of the implementation of the southbound strategic plan, there are still many urgent military affairs to deal with when we arrive in Suzhou and return to Nanjing, so let's take it next time. ”

When it comes to military intelligence and military affairs, everyone is not good at saying anything, and they also understand the emergency measures of the military headquarters and the local high command, so everyone has to drink.

At the end of the song, Hua Qinglang, who was playing the piano, suddenly stood up and said loudly; "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a bright star, a full moon night, in order to see off the departure of the generals, the little woman can't bear to be sad, reluctant, in order to talk about the heart, the little woman specially invited my little sister to play the guzheng and dance for the general, my little sister is called Green Bead, a young monk in the Bailian Taoist Temple in Fengqiao outside Suzhou City, the master said that she is not over, so she is given the name Green Pearl."

The woman in green behind her stood up, came to the front of the platform, bowed deeply, and then raised her head, this girl is taller, slim, bright phoenix eyes, red lips, with an ancient costume parrot bun on the top of her head and an emerald green butterfly dress, fluttering transparent scarf, graceful and quiet, dancing like a fairy, so beautiful that it is a little unearthly fireworks.

Lu Zhu looked around the hall with bright eyes, bowed deeply, and raised his head; "Distinguished guests, distinguished generals, Lu Zhu will play you a famous classical piece of guzheng qin 'Farewell My Concubine'."

The Japanese are no strangers to 'Farewell My Concubine', and they also know the content of this popular story that has been passed down for thousands of years from the Golden Opera or other dramas, but they have never heard of this story expressed in a unique guzheng qin, and they are surprised and curious, the music played by such a beautiful girl must be beautiful and beautiful, and they applauded feverishly in excitement.

Lu Zhu smiled in the face of everyone's applause, she walked down from the platform and walked straight to General Zhai Teng's seat, only then did people notice that she was barefoot, with a ring on her ankles, and she walked with a ringing sound.

Beicang Gang felt that this girl was suspicious, she was a Taoist aunt who was a monk and practiced in the Taoist temple, how could she not have stage fright at all in this public, but seemed calm and calm, he quickly stood up and stepped forward to stop the green beads, and asked with a strange smile; "Miss Luzhu, you are a monk and cultivator, and it seems that you are no stranger to the lively scene in this red dust?"

Luzhu bowed to him and replied with a calm smile; "Don't be surprised, sir, although I am a monk and practice, but I have a soft spot for the guzheng and dance, and the master is often invited by high-ranking officials, so I can only deal with it casually, the birthdays of Chairman Wang and his wife in Nanjing, and the birthdays of many military and political dignitaries are all little women who appear to play musical instruments and dance."

When Bei Canggang heard her say this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and he couldn't see that this little woman actually had a relationship with the military and political dignitaries in Nanjing, even Chairman Wang, it seemed that her musical instruments and dances were indeed outstanding, so she immediately changed her smile and politely let go of her body; "Miss Green Bead has any requests, please!"

Lu Zhu smiled, passed by lightly, came to Zhai Teng, bowed to Zhai Teng again; "General, the advantage of this guzheng qin is that it can best tell the joys and sorrows of the world, the sad feelings of life and death, sorrow, tragedy, and even heartbreaking, touching the poignancy of heaven and earth! This song "Farewell My Concubine" is a famous song through the ages, the little woman does not dare to have the slightest negligence, she must play with her whole heart and soul with emotional devotion, please borrow a glass of wine from the general, to strengthen the little woman's heart. ”

Zhai Teng stood up, reached out and took an empty wine glass, filled the wine in the wine glass himself, and then handed it to Lu Zhudao; "The girl is not only an expert, but also a person of temperament, and it is also the greatest luck of my life to have the privilege of listening to the girl's performance."

Lu Zhu raised the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass in one go, and then put the empty wine glass on the coffee table, leaving a charming smile, and a ring ringing sound floated away.

Zhai Teng was stunned on the spot, a little stupid in a daze, and couldn't help muttering to himself; "This girl in Jiangnan has competed one by one, she is well-behaved and spiritual, she is really the soil for brewing beauties!"

Lu Zhu returned to the platform, Hua Qinglang had already given up the guzheng qin, and sat down on the soft leather round bench behind him, Lu Zhu naturally sat behind the guzheng piano, his fingers were lightly relaxed, and he plucked a few strings, and the strings were unusually loud, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire hall to her piano sound.

A few loud and melodious piano sounds quieted people's hearts, and the green beads suddenly chanted loudly; "The hero's end is full of tears, and the waves of the Wujiang River are lapping on the shore. I have no choice but to say goodbye to this life for the time being, and return to the remnant sun as thick as blood. With her chanting, the strings became compact and dense, a plucking of a major chord, and the strings rang out in unison, but without losing the soft trills of the strings.

The ancient bank of the Wujiang River immediately appeared in front of people's eyes, the wind and grass were low, the river was surging and the waves were surging, barren and desolate, bringing people's mood into a depressed mood.

Zhai Teng picked up the wine glass, took a big sip of wine, and said with infinite emotion; "A good sentence 'The end of the hero's tears rushed to the sky...... and a sentence of 'Return to the remnant sun is as thick as blood.' The pain and pathos of a generation of overlords who have been able to pull out the mountains and dominate the world are vividly summarized in the tragic disgrace of being ruined, unable to turn the tide, and helplessly saying goodbye to the beloved person. ”

In Xiao Xiao's chord rhyme, the green bead suddenly cross-cut the trembling chord with a large arc of his fingers, and the piano sound suddenly became subdued and frustrated, undulating and falling, making people feel that the surging waves of the Wujiang River chased wave after wave, slapping towards the shore, this girl's fingering is really unique, ingenious, and has a three-dimensional virtual effect.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano changes again, the solitary string treble is bright, the chords are low and rough, the intertwined range makes people feel that the sky is high and the clouds are low, the haze is dense, the king of Chu kneels lonely on the mountains on the shore, holding his beloved in his arms, he is going to say goodbye to his beloved here, at that moment, his heart is broken, let the tears that have never been shed flow all over his face, the end of the hero, the huge world, there is no place for him and his beloved, they can only go to the Yellow Spring, turn into colorful butterflies and fly, a moving and realistic picture, The hero's helplessness, sorrow, sorrow, and the pain of the moment when he said goodbye to his sweetheart all flowed out between the fingers of the green beads, which made people heartbroken and tear-jerking.

Zhai Teng has already been brought into the melody of the story by this touching piano sound, so that he feels the true portrayal of a generation of kings who have conquered the world and died with their beloved, his face is full of solemnity and awe, and there seem to be tears in the corners of his eyes, he holds up his wine glass, keeps drinking, and secretly prays in his heart that he is using this wine to pay tribute to the ancient heroic king.

This piece of music and story is indeed too moving, most of the audience here have heard it, seen other opera performances of this story, but not as real as today, so emotional, the Japanese have always admired Chinese culture, prefer Chinese history, even Yokohama Yoshiko, Nojima, Kitakuraoka and those high-ranking officials are fascinated by it, the heart fluctuates, if the previous Sakurako, Amber girl played the guzheng music has reached the peak of classical music, Then this green bead girl is swimming in the field of classical music, she is superb, and her freewheeling performance has pushed the guzheng to an unprecedented realm.

At the end of the song, the people woke up from their intoxication and erupted in applause and screams, and some Japanese officers raised their glasses and shouted loudly.

Lu Zhu was quietly behind the guzheng qin, bowing her eyebrows and bowing her head, accepting people's applause and shouts, which was people's high evaluation and affirmation of her, and she deserved it.

General Zhai Teng said earlier that playing classical music requires energy and emotion, and when this song ends, it is natural to rest for a while, so those high-ranking officials raised their wine glasses and drank with Zhai Teng, talking about their feelings and experiences on the classical music just now.

Zhai Teng's face was flushed with red light, looking extremely excited, and at the same time, he kept drinking big glasses of wine, this may be the first time in decades that he has heard such a realistic, so beautiful guzheng qin, no wonder he is not excited.
