I will never regret crying in this lonely grave, for there is no Lanling King anymore in this world!

At the 53rd second.

The sound of the pipa exploded.

It was like a sudden light appearing in the darkness.

The passersby were completely stunned.

They couldn't find words to describe it for a moment.

Urgent!

The plucking technique that just came out was very rapid, carrying a hint of suppression.

Most importantly, that dangerous feeling of battlefield slaughter burst forth instantly.

All the passersby's eyes were fixed on the source of the sound.

It was North Dust, holding the pipa in his arms, his fingers rapidly plucking, strumming, and pressing the strings, yet wearing a frightening mask on his face.

For those who didn't know Lanling King, this scene seemed quite incongruous.

But there was also a feeling, a sense of conflict, as if that mask should be worn on his face.

This suppressed pipa sound only lasted for 3 seconds.

Afterward, the music became grand and flowing.

Yes, it was a song praising Lanling King's bravery and skill in battle!

In 564 AD, Yuwen Hu, a great general of Northern Zhou, led a hundred thousand troops and surrounded Luoyang layer by layer.

It can be said that at this moment, Luoyang was in imminent danger!

Seeing this, the Luoyang garrison quickly sent out a call for help, while they themselves held the city gates, not taking a single step outside.

Lanling King received the imperial command and led troops with Prefect Duan Shao and Great General Hulü Guang to relieve the siege of Luoyang.

Everyone else had their own tasks, but Lanling King, concerned about the safety of Luoyang, led only 500 cavalry on his own to rescue Luoyang.

This army of 500 men was like a sharp knife, piercing into the enemy's formation with overwhelming force.

The hundred thousand troops of Northern Zhou actually couldn't stop Lanling King's 500 men and were slaughtered all the way to the foot of Jinyong City in Luoyang.

This battle was truly earth-shattering and ghost-weeping!

Not to mention the Northern Zhou army was terrified, even the garrison in Luoyang City was almost scared to death.

Looking at the ghost mask on Lanling King's face, it felt like a death warrant, and they dared not open the gate.

In desperation, Lanling King could only take off his mask: "I am Gao Changgong, quickly open the gate!"

Seeing that it was the Northern Qi army, the city guards then quickly came down to welcome them.

Although there were only 500 reinforcements this time, with Lanling King alone, it was like an army of ten thousand.

The morale of the city garrison naturally soared, and they joined forces with the army led by Great General Hulü Guang, who had been waiting for a long time on the other side.

They attacked the Northern Zhou army from front and back, achieving a great victory at Mangshan, and Lanling King became famous throughout the world because of this battle.

Afterward, he continued to win battles repeatedly, his prestige spreading far and wide...

Under the continuous sound of the pipa, the Netizens in the live broadcast room seemed to see the once peerlessly handsome, brave and valiant... Lanling King.

【Holy crap, as expected of a piece of music as famous as """Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue""", it's awesome, every inch of my skin is burning.】

【Wearing the mask, he is the awe-inspiring Lanling King who intimidated both friend and foe; taking off the mask, he is the world-renowned handsome Gao Changgong!】

【To be honest, from the moment the drums started, I kicked over the old ox plowing the field, picked up the plow myself, and plowed ten mu of land, it's too passionate!】

【When listening to this music while studying, the pen in my hand seems to turn into a spear, ready to go into battle and kill the enemy next second!】

【On the way to ask the Boss for my salary, listening to this song, all I need is a dagger...】

【Wow, floor above, take it easy, forget the dagger, asking for salary is not asking for punishment!】

【...】

At 3 minutes and 33 seconds, the drums started again!

Without the majestic momentum from before, it brought a different feeling.

The rustling autumn wind disturbs the heart,

A thousand miles of setting sun send you off!

The pipa also lowered its voice, changing from melodious to full of lingering resentment.

While his prestige was great, it also marked the beginning of his achievements overshadowing his lord.

In 573 AD, Emperor Gao Wei was already wary of Gao Changgong.

At a banquet, Gao Wei asked, "Brother, you always charge into battle like this, but swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. If you get injured, won't our Great Qi be in danger!"

Hearing Gao Wei's praise, Lanling King was naturally excited, but he said something wrong for a moment: "State affairs are like family affairs, the situation on the battlefield changes instantly, there's no time to think too much."

It was this sentence that made Gao Wei even more apprehensive.

Family affairs?

You, Gao Changgong, consider fighting battles as family affairs?

Does that mean you want to sit on the emperor's throne in the future?

It was because of this drunken remark that a cup of poisoned wine awaited Lanling King.

Facing this cup of poisoned wine, even the valiant Lanling King was helpless.

If the lord wants his minister to die, the minister must die!

"It is not that I entered the formation too deeply, but that I was born in this formation.

Though the poisoned wine is toxic, how can it compare to the pain of a fallen nation?"

He drank the poisoned wine in one gulp, and from then on, there was no more Lanling King.

The last imperial general of the Northern Qi Empire fell.

All that remained was his great prestige...

At 4 minutes and 23 seconds.

The choir reappeared, performing a mournful and poignant chant.

Weeping by the lonely grave, never regretting,

There is no more Lanling King in the world!

The arrival of the cymbal sound at the end also signaled the conclusion of this piece.

4 minutes and 35 seconds, neither long nor short, but every sound entered the ears, entered the heart.

During the performance, Ye Qingqing didn't say a word the entire time, because she herself was deeply immersed in the music.

It wasn't until a good while after the music ended that the applause from the passersby brought her back to her senses.

The number of passersby spectators at the scene had grown from seventy or eighty to, at a glance, probably three to five hundred, and people were still gathering.

Anyway, from Ye Qingqing's position, she couldn't see the end.

Looking at the live broadcast room again, it had already exploded:

【State affairs are also family affairs, your humble general is willing to die ten thousand deaths, I am Lanling King Gao Su, Gao Changgong!】

【Eight feet tall, peerlessly handsome, brave and skilled in battle, ghost-beast mask, 'Ancient Evil Arrival'!】

【Evil east wind in the lonely city, sweeping through a thousand armies. Lan Ling waves the battle flag, breaking the formation alone.】

【Alas, since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, not allowed to see white hair in the human world!】

【I put on the mask, cast aside my benevolence, and became a general who protected his home and defended his country!】

【...】

Netizens had spontaneously lined up to mourn Lanling King, to mourn this tragic and extraordinary man.

If described in one sentence, it would be:

Live like the splendid summer flowers,

Die like the poignant autumn leaves!

Ye Qingqing also sighed inwardly, such an extraordinary man died too unjustly.

Yes, so unjustly that even the emperor of the enemy country couldn't stand it:

"Lanling King made countless military achievements for the state of Qi throughout his life, yet he died because of this fabricated crime, I am unconvinced.

I will definitely use the full strength of the state of Zhou to kill them all, leaving no one behind."

Four years after Lanling King's death, Northern Qi was defeated, and Emperor Gao Wei met the same end as Lanling King.

He was granted death by poisoned wine by the Emperor of Northern Zhou!

The cause of yesterday, the fruit of today.

It was no accident that Northern Qi only existed for a short 28 years.

Just as Ye Qingqing was sighing, she suddenly saw North Dust's action.

He put down the pipa and took off the mask on his face...
