At seven o'clock in the evening, the front of the Jiangnan nightclub is crowded, the traffic is busy, the flashing neon and the changing colored lights reflect each other, everywhere is filled with a luxurious and graceful and joyful atmosphere, Nanchang City has a lively place comparable to the Shanghai world for the first time.

The nightclub is only a subordinate institution of the Jiangnan Hotel, and it belongs to the hotel, just like the western restaurant and café in the annex building on the right.

The hotel manager's name is Xu Yichen, the twenty-three-year-old rich son is a native of Nanchang County, originally the squad leader of An Yi's communication company of the Reading Force, was injured in the last battle of Baguazhou, and was unable to exercise vigorously after recovering from the injury.

Xu Yichen has a beautiful name named Chen Jing, who just graduated from the Provincial Normal School this year, is handsome and handsome, surnamed Gerou and Gang, dressed in a costume tonight, and Xu Yichen, who is dressed in a suit, stands in front of the door to greet the guests.

Cao Fuming, who has become the director of the Guoshu Museum, also followed behind Xu Yichen with two assistants, and Zhou Chongan, general manager of Jiangnan Group, personally came to support Xu Yichen's façade, so all the dignitaries and ladies in the city knew Xu Yichen, who looked like Sven but had a bit of decadent temperament, and believed that tomorrow, the honorific title of "Xu Da Boss" would be called in all walks of life in Nanchang.

At 7:50, a convoy of five cars slowly drove to the gorgeous gate of the nightclub, and in the bright lights and bursts of warm applause, Zhu Peide and his wife and their daughter got out of the car under the care of the adjutant, and An Yi, Zhou Chong'an, Xu Yichen, Cao Fuming and others, who had just rushed out to greet him, all greeted him and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Peide was full of smiles and high interest, Zhu Yunhua behind him called Brother Xiao Yi politely, and after greeting Zhou Chongan and the others, he grabbed his mother's sleeve tightly, and Zhan Huanqi, who was following him, was wearing a beautiful black major general's uniform, and his face was flushed, which made Brother An Yi laugh out loud.

An Yi instructed Zhou Chongan to lead Zhu Peide's family to the upstairs box, and he greeted the three military commanders Jin Handing, Wang Jun, and Zhu Fugui and their families behind, greeted each other attentively and thoughtfully, and congratulated each other. Then he asked in surprise:

"The younger brother has missed the distance, apologize in advance, please forgive me! Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came to Nanchang? ”

"We arrived in the morning, rushed to Lao Nanchang and returned to the city to look everywhere, but now some people's identities are different, and the rich party doesn't say that it is a good opportunity, even if we ask to see us, we will have to queue for three days." Kang Ze sarcastically.

An Yi didn't hear it, and said righteously: "You can't blame the little brother for this, I apologized politely just now, who told you not to give a letter or telegram before you came?" Deserve! If the junior brother doesn't come out to greet Senior Zhu and a few old brothers in the army, don't want to blame the younger brother if you don't see it, it's all your own fault!

Hey...... What are you still doing? Let's go in and have a look, the upstairs box is gone, so I'll sit downstairs, but luckily I left a group of seats on the left side of the stage just in case. ”

Kang Ze rolled his eyes and lost his temper, Dai Li didn't care, and happily followed An Yi's side, and the brothers followed An Yi past the second layer of security and entered the nightclub door with great interest.

Entering the palatial and well-appointed oval hall, the brothers were full of praise for the tall Western-style floor dome, the 12 tall and exquisite columns, and the spacious space of more than 800 square meters, especially the 16 exquisite boxes on the second and a half curved floors, the beautiful stage and the lighting.

He Jinhan said with emotion that he went to the opera house once when he was studying in Moscow, and this nightclub is not inferior in decoration and arrangement in addition to being not as spacious and magnificent as the opera house, especially the rows of reading seats in the hall are quite ingeniously designed, which can watch the performance and gather a group of friends to drink and chat, comfortable and simple, and very creative.

An Yi smiled politely, thinking to himself that decades of knowledge were given for nothing? If it weren't for the layout of the house itself, it would have been possible to build a brand new nightclub, which would have shocked you even more than now.

The brothers sat down one after another, the waiter immediately brought snacks and tea, An Yi ordered a few bottles of Scotch whisky and a few signature snacks, and saw that the brothers were all looking at the hall full of people and the surrounding environment, so they chatted with Dai Li in a low voice.

Dai Li quietly told An Yi that the day after the principal returned to Shanghai, he asked Kang Ze to come to An Yi, and he and He Jinhan came from Nanjing, one is to establish a branch of the Whampoa Alumni Association in Nanchang, and the other is to convey the principal's instructions to An Yi, so that An Yi is ready to return to the army at any time.

After a while, two beautiful and atmospheric girls walked out of the stage curtain, and began to give enthusiastic speeches under the bright lights, An Yi whispered that the two girls were invited from the Jiangxi Provincial Normal School Master of Ceremonies, and today did not engage in any clichés of leadership speeches and celebrity congratulations, and started to perform directly, the audience can eat and watch at the same time, and after an hour and a half of performance, you can also dance and sing on stage, and the specially invited Belarusian band can basically master the current popular domestic music, and the accompaniment is no problem, everyone focuses on participating, It's completely possible to entertain yourself, and nightclubs are meant to be a place for people to relax and unwind.

Without saying a few words, the curtain opened, the performance of the Shanghai Spring Voice Art Troupe began, and the melodious folk music performance won long-lasting applause.

An Yi poured wine for everyone one by one, telling everyone to enjoy while eating and drinking, this is not a theater that does not need to be so serious, who knows that except for Lu Yixuan and Zhao Rui and An Yi clinking glasses, the others are all stupidly staring at the stage, An Yi shook his head and felt that it would take a lot of time to develop a habit.

Who knew that after the 20-minute performance of the Russian Song and Dance Troupe, several enthusiastic and unrestrained Yankees came to the stage and blew violently, and the atmosphere of drinking slowly came out.

Taking advantage of the high spirits, An Yi effortlessly let everyone drink one or two glasses, and the effect was more ideal after the alcohol slowly evaporated in the body, and the steady Dai Lian also beat it with his hands.

More than an hour has passed, the atmosphere of the whole hall is warm, although many of them are decent and dignified old masters and famous ladies with strong traditional concepts of the huge contrast to the whole Chinese and Western program, the reputation is mixed, but the enthusiastic comments and huge repercussions are enough, An Yi's purpose is basically achieved, not to mention that this place is not the place where the old master should come at all, the object of service naturally has its limitations, and after tomorrow, there will be a lady who sits on the stage to accompany the wine and chat, if you want to have fun, you can go upstairs and open the room, If you want to have a few drinks quietly, you can also go to the western restaurants and cafes on the side, anyway, there is quiet in the noisy, everyone takes what they need, and no one will force anyone.

At the beginning of the last folk music performance, An Yi said to the brothers to come and go backstage, He Jinhan whispered that the last "Veteran Art Troupe" would be made by An Yi himself? Kang Ze thought about it and said that it would not be, An Yi is busy making a fortune now and has no spare time, but he can't say where this veteran art troupe came from. Dai Li said that it was very possible, after all, An Yi had performed on stage a lot when he was in Huangpu before, and this guy had a lot of ideas, maybe he wanted to play new tricks when he was bored.

Sure enough, as Dai Li said, after the folk music performance, the curtain was closed, and the beautiful and moving emcee lady began to introduce the last three programs to the full of guests, when the audience heard that the members of the "Veterans Art Troupe" were all members of the former National Revolutionary Army's First Army Reading Division of the veterans, they immediately came to interest, and immediately responded with warm applause, everyone knew that this was An Yi's heroic unit, which was once a heroic unit that was famous throughout the country and made the enemy frightened but made people sigh and be extremely tragic. This spirit is admirable and moving.

After the title of "A Cut Plum" is finished, the curtain is slowly opened, the stage lights are dim, and the lights of the entire hall are almost extinguished at the same time, leaving only the candlelight of each table in the audience swaying and shining, only to listen to a burst of vicissitudes of life and melodious guzheng rhyme, the crisp flute sound and the guzheng immediately complement each other, a soulful and deep door song slowly aggravated, a rich baritone along with the guzheng and flute, the stage lights gradually brightened:

True love is like a vast grassland, and the cold wind and rain cannot be blocked,...... Love what I love without complaint or regret, this love, stay for a long time...... Heart! ”

An Yi's affectionate singing voice flowed in the entire hall and in everyone's hearts under the accompaniment of the guzheng and flute, and the mood of He Jinhan and others was stirred, and Zhou Ruoting and Feng Jieyun in the front row were haunted, and their eyes were like silk, and they were embarrassed to hear Zhu Peide and his daughter and Lao Dao couple in the largest box, and the audience was overwhelmed.

Most people didn't expect An Yi to have such a beautiful singing voice, they didn't expect Gu Changfeng, who was called a model battalion tiger general, to play the flute so exquisitely, they didn't expect Shen Fengdao, the adjutant who had been hiding behind An Yi, to have such a profound attainment in ancient music, and they didn't expect the three of them to perform such a beautiful rhyme that was lingering and whispering and slightly sad.

The singing stopped, the piano curled, and the last flute was far away, and the audience burst into applause.

An Yi and the three of them, dressed in literati robes, stood up and bowed, the curtain slowly closed, the lights in the hall were lit up, and the voices of people were boiling, and the voices of praise sounded like a tide.

The emcee walked to the front of the curtain again and announced the second upcoming song title "Dream Camel Bell" with her melodious voice.

When the curtain opened, nearly 1,000 spectators were stunned, and two rows of officers and soldiers wearing neat old revolutionary uniforms and military caps stood neatly on the stage.

An Yi, who had changed into his old military uniform, held an accordion and sat in the front row with Gu Changfeng, Shen Fengdao and a dozen other officers and soldiers holding various national musical instruments, and prepared in front of the baton held high by the Russian conductor.

With the baton in the conductor's hand pointing forward slightly, the sound of the wooden fish "tuk tuk" came out, and the bell continued to jingle, and the erhu in Chang Baofang's hand pulled out a graceful song, and then the sound of Qin Qin and dulcimer and the flute intersected neatly, and the sound of the organ accompaniment in An Yi's hand also joined it:

"Climb the peak to look at the hometown, the yellow sand is thousands of miles long, where the camel bell comes from, the sound knocks on the heart......"

After An Yi's small section led the singing, the three-part boys' chorus sounded slowly: "The yellow sand urges the ageless years, blows the thoughts of the old, how many nights have I dreamed of returning to Qinguan ......"

A novel and vigorous chorus has achieved great success, making people seem to see the longing feelings of the soldiers on the expedition for their relatives in their hometowns.

The applause of the tide resounded again in the whole hall for a long time, An Yi on the stage, as the musician and lead singer, respectfully thanked the conductor, many officers and soldiers showed nervous and shy looks on their faces, this group of soldiers who were fearless in the face of bullets and bullets on the battlefield were embarrassed in the face of the cheering people.

The female master of ceremonies stood in front of the stage and waited for a long time, applause and cheers slowly stopped, she emotionally introduced that 17 of the 40 veterans on the stage left lifelong disabilities in the Great Northern Expedition, and now they are all living in the old Nanchang Rongjun Community, working in the famous Jiangnan Enterprise Group, self-reliance, no difficulties and sufferings can overwhelm them, they are still writing their brilliant lives on the road of life.

The audience once again responded with warm applause, and the female emcee bowed to the conductor and the veterans, and turned to the audience to loudly announce the last performance of the night, "Serving the Country with Loyalty"!

With the sudden swing of the baton, a dense drum sound was shocking, the high-pitched suona came like a horn, all the instruments played in unison, and a majestic and firm song sounded:

"The wolf rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost! The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, twenty years, vertical and horizontal, who can resist ......"

The "Jing Loyal to the Country", which has been widely circulated and known as An Yishi's military song, was sung for the second time, and the enthusiastic young people in the audience couldn't help but stand up, and the brothers He Jinhan and Kang Ze couldn't help but stand majestically, let go of their voices and join the ranks of singing.

More than 100 brothers from An Yishi, who were watching the performance, had already stood up straight and sang loudly, and more and more people joined in the singing.

Feng Jieyun in the front row was extremely moved, with tears in his eyes, looking at An Yi as if he couldn't control his heart, but his singing voice became louder and louder, instantly drowning everything:

"The wolf smoke rises, the north of the country looks at the dragon rolling, the horse is neighing, the sword qi is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, the water is boundless, twenty years, between the vertical and horizontal, who can resist the hatred, how many brothers and sisters are loyal to the long knife, the soul is buried in the bones, what a pity to die, report the family and the country, endure sighing, more speechless, blood and tears are full of horses' hooves, people go south, people look north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate the ......"
