Chapter 450 An Unparalleled Song, Glorious Years!
Around noon, when the women returned to the city lord's mansion, they suddenly heard music.
"Today, only the remaining shell remains, welcoming the glorious years, embracing freedom in the wind and rain..." The lyrics, with their beautiful melody and strong rhythm, are extremely moving when accompanied by guitar.
The women were stunned as they watched Xiao Yu sing passionately while holding a crystal guitar.
This man is not only incredibly powerful, but also so talented and charming.
The women felt that this scene was deeply etched in their hearts and would never be forgotten.
It wasn't until the song ended that they finally came to their senses.
"Lord City Lord, is this a new song you composed? It's so beautiful, please play it again!" The wolf girl tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve, looking on expectantly.
"Yes! What's the name of this song?" Everyone looked over with admiration.
“Glorious Years! Let’s eat first, then we’ll sing.” Xiao Yu waved his hand with a smile.
In his past life, his greatest skill was playing the guitar.
This is a great song of peace.
A song that has been popular in the Chinese-speaking world for decades and will continue to be popular forever.
Xiao Yu was naturally etched into his very bones.
After dinner, he fulfilled the women's requests and performed the act again.
The women then reluctantly went to rest.
In the afternoon, two young men arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The two brothers who performed playing the erhu and flute for the audience at the auction.
The two brothers' surname is Jia; the older brother is named Jia Ju, and the younger brother is named Jia Qiang.
"Lord of the City!" The Jia brothers bowed respectfully upon seeing Xiao Yu.
They were filled with admiration for this powerful and talented city lord.
Not to mention, the city lord is also their guide on the path of music.
In short, in the eyes of the Jia brothers, this city lord was like a god!
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Well, how are your band's preparations going?"
He had heard before that the two brothers had made some musical instruments such as seashells and panpipes.
Some people in the city of ruins who were very interested in this also learned from them.
Just in time, Xiao Yu also wanted to form a band so that he could perform more songs.
"Return to the city lord!"
After bowing, Jia Ju, the elder brother, said, "Eleven of our companions who used to play musical instruments with us have come to Dragon City. Among them, three have the best foundation and have been learning from me all this time. If the city lord has time, I will have them come over and play a piece for you."
"Ah."
Xiao Yu nodded and said seriously, "Bring them over to take a look. I have a timeless song here that will become one of the signature songs of my Dragon City in the future. If you are good enough, I can consider letting you sing it."
Upon hearing this, the two Jia brothers exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
In the eyes of the two brothers, the Lord of the City's creations were absolutely heavenly music.
Now, even the city lords are talking about an epic song, and they are really looking forward to it.
The two brothers immediately assured him, "Lord City Lord, rest assured, I have taught them the 'Song of the Mountain Eagle' that you taught us, and they are already playing it very well. I will inform them immediately."
"Go."
A short while later, when the Jia brothers returned to the city lord's mansion, they brought back three people.
Among these people were two pretty young girls and a young man.
However, of the three, the young man looked ragged and disheveled.
Only the two girls, though their faces were dirty, were wearing clean clothes.
"Let's begin." Xiao Yu sat upright in the armchair and gestured with his hand.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" The Jia brothers nodded and bowed slightly with everyone.
Then, everyone took their places in two rows, picked up their instruments, and began to play.
"The Song of the Mountain Eagle" was created to commemorate Native American heroes who resisted invasion.
It represents the indomitable spirit of the Native Americans, who, despite being nearly wiped out, remained steadfast and resilient.
It has even been called the world's number one hit song by many netizens.
It was also a piece of music that Xiao Yu liked very much in his previous life, and he had listened to it countless times.
With a command from team leader Jia Ju, everyone instantly got into position.
Including the two brothers, the band has a total of 5 members.
Everyone was holding a musical instrument.
A petite girl placed her hands to her lips and imitated the calls of several animals, including sparrows, pigeons, and eagles, instantly giving the impression of being in a vast forest.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Ju and Jia Qiang played the panpipes and the flute, respectively.
Another girl had two waist drums made of animal hide tied around her waist, and she was playing them to a light and lively accompaniment.
Another young man shook a stone bracelet and tapped the bottom of an iron pot with a wooden stick...
Although their instruments were very rough, even rudimentary, Xiao Yu saw their love for music in their eyes.
It was just some simple stones hitting and colliding.
Yet through them, a series of clear, beautiful, and melodious sounds are woven together.
It showcases the ancient mystery and unique charm of the Song of the Mountain Eagle.
Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and a sense of tranquility and profundity arose spontaneously.
A few minutes later, the music stopped.
Jia Ju, Jia Qiang, and the other four all bowed their heads and waited, hoping to gain Xiao Yu's approval.
Previously, everyone had loved "The Song of the Mountain Eagle" ever since they learned about it from the captain.
It took several days for everyone to combine various musical instruments to perform the entire piece.
The two girls secretly glanced at Xiao Yu, then immediately blushed and lowered their heads.
They hadn't dared to lift their heads just now, but now they realized that the city lord was actually so young and handsome.
The others didn't even dare to raise their heads, fearing that the city lord would be displeased.
After all, they hadn't trained properly because they loved playing music since they were young.
Therefore, only three of them are at the first level, while the other two are ordinary people who are powerless.
In short, like most musicians, everyone is dirt poor.
In order to meet the city lord, the Jia brothers, Jia Ju and Jia Qiang, used all the money they had worked so hard to earn to buy clean clothes for the two girls, while the rest of them were still dressed in rags.
If the city lord refuses to take them in, they'll be left to eat dirt...
but...
"You played very well!"
Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I am very satisfied that you were able to play this piece with these simple instruments, and the five of you cooperated very well."
Now, I will officially teach you this new song, "Glorious Years"!
Xiao Yu played and sang on the guitar once, then demonstrated it to Jia Ju and the others.
When he finished singing, everyone froze on the spot.
The men, including Jia Ju and Jia Qiang, were all self-destructive and ashamed, while the young girls looked at him with faces full of spring in their eyes.
"Ahem!" Xiao Yu coughed a few times and said in a serious tone, "This song needs a lot of instruments, including guitar, bass, drummer, etc., as well as lead singer and harmonies. You guys discuss it yourselves."
"Yes! Lord City Lord!"
