Insufficient balance

  Although not a Tibetan Buddhist believer, Ye Yiqi has been fond of mantras since childhood and has habitually listened to such chants while doing other things. Over time, he became able to recite these mantras by himself.

  The music that was originally able to calm people down, under Ye Yizhe's voice, has elevated the atmosphere to a higher level. It is worth noting that Ye Yizhe has always been harmless in both appearance and sound.

  But this music only lasted for a minute or two, and then suddenly a banging sound was heard from the stage, everyone was shocked, and they quickly opened their eyes to look at the front of the stage.

  Although the figure on the stage was not clear, a person's shadow could still be seen, slowly sitting down, with a small table placed in front of him, he took out an object from a vertical long box.

  A light sweep of the fingers, a crisp sound came out, refreshing everyone's ears and eyes.

  Guqin

  Apart from Yu Zhitong and Li Hu, who already knew about the matter, everyone else looked at each other in confusion. Is there still someone playing the guqin in this era? And it's a boy?

  No, this is not scientific!

  But Ye Yizhe didn't care about their thoughts, lightly stroking the guqin in front of him, and before everyone could react, his entire hand slapped down on it, making a loud "thud" that sent another tremor through everyone's hearts.

  A brisk melody, slowly flew out from the ancient zither in front of Ye Yizhe, his hands moving ceaselessly, the crowd seemed to have a sense of being on the battlefield, rows and rows of soldiers standing in front of them, their strong and agile bodies majestic and heroic.

  At this point, Yu Zitong's whole body trembled and he blurted out: "Ten-faced ambush!"

  Yu Zhitong, who had received a good education, was not unfamiliar with this pipa song. She rarely heard someone play the guqin to showcase it, and at first, she didn't dare to confirm it. Originally, she was also worried about Ye Yizhe's level, but when he played the first part of the military posture with great skill, her eyes on stage also became blurry.

  I'm also curious about what kind of person this is?

  Ye Yizhe didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, and just did his own thing as he thought he should.

  Suddenly quiet, everyone's heart has calmed down, clearly knowing that Yu Ziyu's heart is tense, on the eve of the decisive battle, the Han army ambushes in Gaixia, the atmosphere is quiet and tense, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army. This solemnity, suppressing Yu Ziyu's soul, the whole person feels suppressed.

  The pace gradually accelerated, and the battle at Mount Ji Ming was in full swing. The armies of Chu and Han finally clashed, their swords and spears crossing each other, and even those who didn't understand music could hear the sudden change in atmosphere.

  The ten-faced ambush is also worthy of the title of a classic Chinese song, and the melody makes everyone produce a sense of longing from the bottom of their hearts. While experiencing this oppression, they are also curious about Ye Yizhe on stage. In today's popular music, suddenly appearing with a guqin-playing boy, such artistic connotation is envied by all. Most people who don't understand music aren't as clear as Yu Yitong, wanting to do what Ye Yizhe did isn't something that those who have mastered the guqin can do, whether it's hand speed or grasping the atmosphere, these are things that no one in her impression can do.

  Even those so-called famous guzheng players.

  She, who knew Ye Yizhe's identity, was curious from the bottom of her heart. What kind of family upbringing could produce a Ye Yizhe with such depth? She no longer dared to regard Ye Yizhe as an ordinary person's child.

  Then came the Battle of Jiuli Mountain, where life and death were at stake. The sound of horseshoes, clashing blades, and shouting voices intertwined and rose from the music, shocking people's hearts. It was just the beginning, and everyone sat up straight, expecting the arrival of the climax.

  Xiang Yu finally fell, and the siege of Gaixia was complete. The Chu army was completely surrounded, and the hero had reached his last resort.

  The melody also thoroughly entered the scene of sadness, 300,000 Han troops surrounded 100,000 Chu troops. In order to disintegrate the enemy's military spirit, the Han side asked the soldiers to sing a Chu song. The Chu soldiers had been away from home for a long time and were already tired of the years of war. Some people in the Chu army began to sing along, and the morale was thoroughly shaken.

  "With the sound of the zither on stage, Yu Ziyu softly murmured: 'Powerful as a mountain, majestic as the world. Time is not in my favor, yet I will not retreat. If I do not retreat, what can be done? Alas, alas, what can be done with you?"

  It seems to be in harmony with Ye Yizhe, and it also seems to be a sigh of emotion. Yu Ji Yu Ji, Yu Zitong revealed a hint of confusion, is this song for herself?

  She didn't know that Ye Yizhe was completely immersed in his memories, and at this moment, he played without any thinking, relying solely on habitual movements of his arms. This "Ambush from Ten Sides" was too familiar to him, more familiar than himself, and he had no idea how many times he had played it over the years.

  Because of Sanya's fondness, he would play this piece for her every time, and as the best person to him and Li Hu apart from his wife, Ye Yizhe naturally put in extra effort.

  It's not that his guqin skills are good, but this piece of music has been engraved in his heart and bones because of Sangya, as if it has become his soul. When Ye Yizhe plays "Ambush from Ten Sides", he feels like his soul is singing, and every scene of the Chu-Han contention appears in his mind. Others can feel the atmosphere when they listen to it, but for Ye Yizhe, playing this piece of music makes him want to suffocate.

  The feeling of being on the spot made him breathless.

  Then there was the rhythm of scattered repetition, the sound of horseshoes intersecting, the rhythm was dense, as if the scene of Xiang Yu fleeing in defeat was unfolding before everyone's eyes, and the Han army and its allies were pursuing closely, determined to annihilate Xiang Yu here.

  The original song was played on the pipa, and Chu Bawang's elegy was fully displayed. At this moment, the notes coming from Ye Yizhe's guqin are even more majestic and ethereal.

  Even if someone has no knowledge, they can understand the scene by now. From ancient times to the present, how many historical events have been as attractive and tragic as the symbol of Chu and Han? As a young person, how many people haven't admired Xiang Yu, and how many people haven't been moved by the love between Xiang Yu and Yu Ji?

  It's not that there aren't any students who are good at studying at Fudan, nor is it that there aren't any with a bit of culture; it's just that they never thought that this kind of emotion could be expressed in this way by an unknown freshman from the philosophy department on stage.

  Accompanied by the laughter of the Han army and the sound of horse hooves, the heroic end, the sound of the zither suddenly became thick and turbid. The struggle between Chu and Han had also entered its final stage. The Chu army no longer had any chance of turning over. What was once a large army of tens of thousands now only had what was in front of them. Unless they returned to Jiangdong to rise again, using the support of the people of Jiangdong for the King of Chu to compete for the Central Plains once more.

  How could the overbearing and arrogant king, who values his dignity as much as his life, do such a thing?

  No one could see the scene on stage, so they wouldn't know that Ye Yizhe had already shed tears in his eyes and muttered to himself: "You always ask me, if I were Xiang Yu, what would I do? Until the very end, there was no chance to answer you. In fact, I've always wanted to say that even for your sake, I would cross the river. What dignity, what kingdom, could compare with Yu Ji's peerless beauty, how could they compare with your smile?"

  Looking up at the top of the hall, Ye Yizhe played out the last note, majestic and gorgeous. Xiang Yu finally killed himself in Wujiang, all the Chu army cried and wept. Yu Ji watched as Xiang Yu killed himself and followed him to death. The King of Western Chu ultimately refused to return to Jiangdong, just because of one sentence "No face to face with parents in Jiangdong".

  The last four strings "swept" and then suddenly "fell", the music stopped abruptly.

  This song "Ambush from Ten Sides" is for you, Shangya.

  How are you over there?

  Ye Yizhe, having finished playing, didn't care about the situation on stage and stood up to walk straight towards the back. The crowd below was still immersed in the shock brought by Ye Yizhe, only Li Hu looked at his back, tears streaming down his face.

  He knew his brother Yezi was more heartbroken and exhausted than he was, or else he wouldn't have played this piece.
