The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Even after Ye Linyuan's rendition of "The Soul of the Chinese Army" ended a full minute later, everyone present, regardless of age, gender, or whether they were in politics, business, or the military, remained stunned for a long time.

Everyone felt their long-dormant passion boiling again, a surge of heat rising in their chests, their souls roaring and howling wildly, yearning to fight the enemy once more!

This feeling is fucking wonderful!

At this moment, Luo Feng couldn't help but straighten his back, his face flushed red, and even his eyes were slightly red.

He's excited!

"Damn it, I wanted to join the army back then, but your grandfather wouldn't allow it. Now I regret it to death."

"It really proves the old saying: 'You'll regret joining the army for a year, but you'll regret not joining for a lifetime!'"

Luo Qingyue glanced at her father, then silently looked down at his large belly, which resembled that of a woman eight months pregnant. Amidst Luo Feng's exasperated expression, she quietly looked away again.

The meaning is self-evident.

Xiao Wuji and Xiao Tianze exchanged a glance, both seeing the boiling passion in each other's eyes.

They decided that after the events in the Thousand Days Kingdom were over, they would join the army!

Only the military can be a man's romance!

"Can you two stop looking at each other like that? It's disgusting."

Xiao Ruoxi looked at the two of them with utter disdain.

"And you two, if you want to join the army, you'll have to convince Great-Grandpa first. He might not agree to let you go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but purse his lips and say with dissatisfaction.

"Oh dear, little sister, can you please stop dampening our spirits? Besides, our Xiao family hasn't produced a general yet. Maybe we'll be the Xiao family's first and second general!"

"Hmph, is that so? The country knows the Xiao family's background. Although the Xiao family has abandoned the darkness and become the country's black gloves from the very beginning, if things really got serious, neither of you would pass the political background check, would you?"

Xiao Wuji: ......

Xiao Tianze: ......

Thinking about it carefully, given the Xiao family's long history of scandals, it's possible that it really is...

At the same time, Su Shiyu, Liu Yanran, Gu Shishi, and Mo Feifei stared intently at Ye Linyuan, their beautiful eyes filled with affection.

It's just that the timing isn't right now; otherwise, they would have absolutely devoured Ye Linyuan completely today, leaving not a single drop!

Ah Yuan/Brother Yuan, you are really amazing!

On the stage, Ye Changsheng finally came to his senses. Looking at Ye Linyuan, who was still standing straight, he wiped away the tears on his cheeks and laughed heartily at Ye Linyuan.

"You little rascal, this old man really loves your gift, I really, really love it!"

"Great-Grandpa, I'm glad you're happy."

Ye Linyuan turned around and grinned at the old man, which instantly made Ye Changsheng's smile even wider.

This is why he dotes on Ye Linyuan so much.

It wasn't just because Ye Linyuan was the only male member of the younger generation of the Ye family, but also because Ye Linyuan was completely at ease when talking to him, unlike others who were always worried about this and afraid of that.

It was a completely natural conversation between a grandfather and grandson, which made him feel very comfortable.

The three high-ranking military representatives standing nearby couldn't help but stand up, quickly walk up to Ye Changsheng and Ye Linyuan, snapped to attention, and gave Ye Changsheng a military salute with serious expressions.

"Old Chief, you've worked hard. On behalf of the Chinese nation, I salute you!"

Because of his military background, Ye Changsheng had an instinctive fondness for people from the military, and immediately nodded kindly and waved his hand.

"Today is a private gathering, why are you being so serious? Don't act like you're in the military. Relax, make yourself at home, eat and drink as you please, don't be shy or reserved."

As Ye Changsheng finished speaking, Ye Zhen and Ye Xiong, who were standing to the side, also laughed and joked.

"That's right, Zhang, Li, and Zhao, we're all on the same side, no need to be so formal."

"Yes, we're all old acquaintances, there's really no need to be so polite."

Zhang Qiang, Li Jia, and Zhao Wu exchanged glances, and awkward smiles appeared on their faces.

The Ye family treats them like their own children, yet these people are trying to take advantage of them. It's really... a bit unethical...

However, being able to reach the level of a major general means that having a thick skin is definitely not an issue. So, although they felt it was a bit unfair, the three of them still forced themselves to speak to Ye Changsheng, Ye Zhen, and Ye Xiong.

"Elders, here's the thing. We just listened to Young Master Ye's 'The Soul of the Chinese Army,' and it really gets our blood pumping and our fighting spirit soaring. The annual conscription season is just around the corner, so we'd like to use this song as this year's conscription theme song. What do you think, gentlemen?"

Ye Changsheng, Ye Zhen, and Ye Xiong all nodded in agreement with Zhang Qiang, Li Jia, and Zhao Wu's request.

They guessed that would be the case.

However, even though they had guessed it, they were not prepared to give the song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" to the military so easily.

One thing is one thing, but if we send it now, it could very well become an excuse for others to attack the Ye family.

Forming cliques and engaging in favoritism has been a major taboo in all dynasties!

Even if the Ye family didn't have this intention, that's how it appears to others!

Therefore, even though all three of them agreed in their hearts, they also knew very well that a clearly marked price was the most appropriate way to buy and sell.

not to mention......

Ye Changsheng, Ye Zhen, and Ye Xiong all turned their gazes toward Ye Linyuan, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Xiao Yuan, what's your opinion? After all, you wrote the lyrics and composed the music yourself, so you're the copyright holder. We don't have the right to decide."

Upon hearing Ye Changsheng's question, Ye Linyuan looked at the three major generals, Zhang Qiang, Li Jia, and Zhao Wu, with a gentle smile on his face, which eased their vigilance considerably.

No matter how you look at it, Ye Linyuan seems quite easy to talk to, so using "The Soul of the Chinese Army" as this year's recruitment theme song shouldn't be a problem.

"My opinion is certainly no problem, but I wonder what kind of conditions the military will offer? In fact, I originally planned to use this song, 'The Spirit of the Chinese Army,' as the opening theme song for the anti-Japanese war drama 'Bright Sword,' which I'm about to film."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang, Zhao Jia, and Zhao Wu exchanged glances, then gave Ye Linyuan an apologetic look. The three of them took a few steps back, briefly discussed their opinions, and then walked back over.

"We are willing to purchase the right to use 'The Soul of the Chinese Army' for 1000 million yuan."
