Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 3133
3133 Ambush
So what if she had to dance with a sword? At least it wasn’t any other dances. It wasn’t difficult for Ye Jian to dance with both strength and gentleness.
Hence, Ye Jian had her first artistic performance in her two lifetimes—a sword dance!
At first, Xu Wen wanted to have Ye Jian do a sword dance. However, He Jing slapped her and laughed at her. “You should at least pursue some visual aesthetics. If you play Ambush from Ten Sides while Ye Jian dances with a knife in front, will that form a harmonious sight?”
Xu Wen recalled the scene in her mind and shivered. She couldn’t look at it!
In the end, Ye Jian had another skill to practice—sword dancing.
The next day, when the classmates knew that Ye Jian would be performing, they were filled with confidence in Ye Jian even before they saw the results. They felt that her performance would definitely win over the entire audience.
Song Zhiqiu, who was performing the piano solo, was a little worried.
Ambush on Ten Sides was the great song of the Chinese lute. It was also one of the top ten ancient songs in China. It showed the scene of an overlord being surrounded by the enemy and cornered. The music was intense and heart-stirring. The strong notes of the lute were even more powerful. Sometimes, the people who played it could even break the strings of the lute.
Ye Jian didn’t have any dancing skills to perform the sword dance of Ambush From Ten Sides. It was extremely difficult!
A few days later, Xu Wen was still waiting for the Chinese lute that was sent over from the capital city. Song Zhiqiu took the CD player and CD that he asked his family to send over and started chatting with Ye Jian about Ambush on Ten Sides.
“When the two armies fought, the sound shook the world and the roof tiles fell. From time to time, there was the sound of drums, swords, crossbows, and horses… It made those who heard it excited at first and then afraid. They cried until they couldn’t do anything. It was so touching.” Ye Jian repeated Song Zhiqiu’s words and frowned slightly. “After hearing what you said, I regret agreeing to Xu Wen immediately.”
Song Zhiqiu smiled and said, “It’s useless even if you regret it. There are still 20 days before the performance. You can familiarize yourself with the music of Ambush on Ten Sides first. This is a CD player. There’s a CD here too. Listen to it first and you’ll have an idea.”
Then, he said to Xu Wen, “Although your lute hasn’t arrived, you can teach her the decomposition movements first and let Ye Jian learn the movements in advance. When your lute arrives, you guys can rehearse with the tune. There won’t be any delay.”
Xu Wen didn’t expect this. She was only concerned that she hadn’t gotten her Chinese lute and couldn’t play it.
She hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll teach Ye Jian today.”
Ye Jian had already started listening to the entire song. It lasted for a total of five minutes and 19 seconds. At the start, there was a series of urgent sounds. Her heart immediately trembled.
Perhaps because she was a special forces soldier, Ye Jian had never learned dancing and had never listened to the entire song. But she liked this famous song. She could hear the sound of the golden drums, the shouts of everyone, and the fight for her belief.
Especially at the four-minute mark, the tragic melody of sorrow and storm made Ye Jian’s expression turn especially serious.
In the end, the music stopped. Ye Jian felt her heart tighten. There was an indescribable sorrow in her heart.
The indomitable overlord didn’t become a coward who chose to escape. He knew that there was no turning back when the battle started, but he still fought resolutely. Facing the surging river, he sighed and said, “If the heavens kill me, it’s not the crime of war.” He had the courage and fearlessness of a modern soldier. Just like J5, T6, Captain Xia, and the rest who were still fighting outside. They knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but they still fought bravely without any hesitation.
