Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

The theater is as vast as Fengtian Hall. In the front is the stage, and in the back are more than a dozen box seats with varying heights. The middle one is for Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others are seats for dignified princes and concubines like Yan Wangdi.As for the ten rows of seats in the front row, which had already been reserved for ministers and generals with titles and senior officials from the six ministries, the other nearly thousand seats were for ministers and their families to sit freely. At this time, it was only half an hour before leaving the gong, and none of the officials knew Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, so they took their seats early, otherwise they would not enter the venue until Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, and they might regret it later.

On the contrary, other people with lower official positions and a group of family members, especially those young royal family members who usually love to make trouble, took advantage of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity to gather outside the arena, flirting with those seldom-seen daughters, and even talking and laughing , making a fuss. After chatting with Qi, Feng and others, Chen Lingfang entered the shed first. At this time, Xu Yeyue worked hard to get rid of the obsession of those admirers, and looked back for them, but when she couldn't see Han Bai, she changed her pretty face and said, "Where's Han Lang?"

Qi Changzheng and the others were worried about Han Bai, so they hesitated and said: "He has something to go away for a while, and he will be back soon!" Xu Yeyue couldn't see Zhuang Qingshuang who had entered the theater with her father, and thought that Han Bo was annoyed at her going to accompany those rich young men in Jinling, so she slipped away with Shuang'er, and almost cried, "Tell me quickly, he and Shuang'er will arrive soon." where it goes?" Gu Qianlian knew her best, knew that she had misunderstood, and pulled her aside to talk. Qi Changzheng frowned and said, "That kid Han Bai really went with that demon girl... Hey!" Seeing Gu Zixian, Xiao Linglong and Han Bicui all looking at him, he quickly fell silent.

Feng Xinglie is a gentleman, he said with a smile: "Although he is cynical, he knows how to measure when encountering serious matters. Ignore him, how about we enter first?" Glancing at the corner of his eyes, he gave Qi Changzheng a push. Qi Changzheng followed his gaze, and saw Han Tiande and his son hurried out from the arena, with joyful faces, they greeted them when they saw them. Han Tiande said gratefully: "I bumped into Mr. Chen just now, and I was notified by him that the emperor has allowed me to step down and go home. I really want to thank you two this time."

Seeing his unofficial and light-hearted appearance, Feng, Qi and others were all happy for him. After Qi Changzheng introduced the daughters to his father and son, he asked casually, "When will the old man plan to return to Wuchang?" Han Tiande said: "My brother is still weak, he needs to rest for a day or two more, and the marriage between my daughter and the Song family also needs to be prepared. It may take ten and a half months longer before I can go back." Although Qi Changzheng knew that it was an ironclad fact that Han Hui was about to marry the Song family, it still sounded uncomfortable, and it was even more strange why Han Huizhi didn't listen to his advice and left Beijing immediately, so as to avoid the bloody storm in the capital.He frowned and said: "Don't ask the reason, old man, it's best to leave Beijing immediately, so as to save a lot of trouble."

Han Tiande's face turned pale. Feng Xinglie nodded and said: "Han Bai also hopes that you can leave immediately. It is best that the second Miss Han can leave with your son-in-law, and only get married after returning to Wuchang. After seeing the capital, there is no problem before returning." Qi Changzheng was very grateful, Feng Xinglie really knew his heart, and said what he was embarrassed to say on his behalf. Seeing their serious expressions, Han Xiwen thought that the Song family was safe because of Han Baibao, so he only arrested Song Kun.Now that they have said this, they can't ignore it lightly. They interjected: "How could we not listen to the advice of the two of you? Now we will go back and pack up the road. Everyone passing by Wuchang the next day must come to my house so that we can have a good time together." I will do my best to the landlord." After saying that, I thanked him a thousand times and went.

Qi Changzheng smiled wryly and shook his head. Han Bicui tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said, "Qi Lang! Let's go to the theater!" Feng Xinglie called out to Gu Qianlian and Xu Yeyue: "You two ladies, let's enter!" Xu Yeyue walked back with a look of resentment and refused to obey: "How can you let him go with that witch, I will wait for him to come back." At this time Zhuang Qingshuang also came back, and insisted on waiting for Han Bai after knowing about it. Gu Qianlian said: "You guys enter first! Yue'er and I wait here for that lecherous bad guy."

Feng Xing laughed fiercely and said: "Anyway, the show hasn't started yet, even if it starts, it will be quite a while before Lian Xiuxiu's turn to appear on stage, let's wait for Han Bai to come before going in!" The sound of the wind rang, and countless Dongchang masters quickly approached from all around. Bai Fanghua spun around, her sleeves fluttering, it was really pretty. Han Bai shouted: "Be careful!" Countless round marbles flew out of her hand, accurately passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and threw them at the factory guards, two of them shot at Han Bai's face.

Han Bai thought to himself, Bai Fanghua, you are really considerate of Han, knowing that she is scheming, sent out two wisps of finger wind, and pointed towards the round marble. "Bobo!" Two sounds, the round marble exploded, sending out a cloud of black mist first, and then scattered fragments as thin as cow hair to shoot in all directions. Han Bai secretly called out for danger, if these things that looked like highly poisonous iron filings were shot into his eyes, it would be a wonder if the eyeballs weren't destroyed immediately. So far, Han Bai has completely given up on Bai Fanghua.

A witch is a witch, and she will never have any kind of conscience. Flicking the sleeves sent out a gust of wind, driving away the hidden weapons that were shot, but the black mist spread out in response to the wind. Exclamations came from all around, it was obvious that someone had suffered a loss, and the forest was filled with black mist for a while. Everyone was afraid that she would launch a concealed weapon in this thick fog that was not known to be poisonous, and they all retreated outside the forest. Han Bai had been paying attention to her movement with his spiritual sense, but suddenly the feeling disappeared, and he couldn't help screaming: "The witch has slipped away!"

Yan Wuhou landed beside him, and said solemnly: "I never thought that Bai Fanghua would be so powerful, no wonder he dared to show up." Han Bai still had lingering fears and said, "Besides Shan Yuru, I am afraid that the Destiny Sect is the most powerful." He thought that if he hadn't successfully merged with the magic way, he would have died under her hands. The gongs, drums, shengxiao and flute sounded loudly, and people gathered outside the theater entered the arena one after another. When Xu Yeyue and others were waiting anxiously, Han Bai and Yan Wuhou returned hand in hand. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, they both felt bad. Gu Zixian frowned and asked, "Did she slip away?" Han Bai smiled wryly, "The witch is amazing!" Everyone was taken aback.In fact, everyone has always thought that although Bai Fanghua is cunning and scheming, she should be a person with limited martial arts, and Han Bai and Yan Wuhou would not be able to catch her. Yan Wuhou said: "You guys go ahead and talk about it first, I still have to stay outside to manage." Seeing Han Bai's return, Xu Yeyue and Zhuang Qingshuang were satisfied, so they didn't bother to slip away Bai Fanghua, and happily dragged him into the arena. Xu Yeyue approached Han Bo'er and said, "Did Han Lang let her go on purpose?" Han Bai sighed: "Oh! You almost became the most beautiful and lovely little widow, and you still talk about me like that." Zhuang Qingshuang said angrily: "You will not be allowed to mention this frightening description in the future." Han Bai felt a sweetness in his heart, and quickly agreed with him with a smile. Everyone joined the lively crowd and walked to the venue together. Qi Changzheng hugged Han Bicui and followed behind Han Bai and others, whispering: "Master Han, I killed your enemy for my husband, and you haven't said how to repay me." Han Bicui said angrily: "Since you call yourself your husband, you are naturally responsible for avenging Bicui's revenge. How else can I thank you? If you are thick-skinned, feel free to bring it up!" Qi Changzheng said with a smile: "I have always been the thickest-skinned, and I don't ask too much. I only hope that the chief master will cooperate in bed in the future. The chief master will not refuse this request that is in line with the three ways of heaven, earth and man!" Han Bicui never thought that he would say such a shameful thing in this public place.She had always been serious and tender-faced, but she immediately burned her cheeks and gave him a hard twist on his back. Of course she couldn't hide this action from Feng Xinglie and his three beautiful wives behind him, and the three daughters also blushed when they saw it, knowing that Qi Changzheng would definitely not have serious words. Gu Qianlian was the most troublesome, she tugged at the corner of Han Bicui's clothes and said: "Master, what jokes did Lao Qi say to you, can you make it public for us to comment?" Han Bicui was even more ashamed. She glanced at her, but before she had a chance to fight back, Qi Changzheng turned around and smiled, "I just put forward every man's reasonable requirements and wishes for a beautiful wife!" Xiao Linglong innocently said: "Oh! So it's about giving birth." After speaking, she realized she was shy and hid behind Gu Zixian. Han Bai laughed and said, "Our three brothers will work hard. Isn't it interesting to see Yue'er, Shuang'er and the sister-in-laws all have big bellies?" All the girls were ashamed and happy, laughing and cursing together. While talking and laughing, everyone followed the crowd and squeezed into the theater. Looking at the crowd, Qi Changzheng remembered the scene of crowded theaters on Nujiao Island, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of people watching theaters here. In the past, Qiu Mo and I always had to go to the theater to watch this kind of scene. Find the most beautiful big girls and beautiful young women to squeeze, and make them messy and coquettish, I don't know how interesting it is." Han Bicui was so jealous that she stomped on his toes and said angrily, "Did no one beat you?" Xu Yeyue said: "If you dare to squeeze the moon, I will definitely give you a slap in the face." Qi Changzheng said with a playful smile: "When they squeezed and pushed us, they were so happy and happy!" Xu Yeyue suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and cursed "Damn Han Bai" in a low voice, of course she was "squeezed" by this kid. At this moment, a Jin Yiwei came up to greet him, and said respectfully: "Boss Yan has arranged seats for Uncle Zhongqin and the ladies and gentlemen in the front row, please follow the villain." Han Bai had a lot of face, and he happily led the crowd to the seats near the stage with the Jin Yiwei. The venue was full of people, and it was very lively. Colorful lights are hung in all directions, creating a colorful and festive atmosphere.The ventilation design is also very perfect, nearly 2,000 people gathered together, and they still don't feel stuffy. The drums and music were loud on the stage, but it was just some idle corners who came out to somersault, so the people in the audience didn't care at all, they were still talking and laughing. The backstage seats were full of people from the royal family, only the seats of Zhu Yuanzhang, King Yan and Yun Wen remained empty. Han Bai waited to sit in the front row, and Gu Qianlian immediately handed over the large package of snacks she had prepared, and said with a smile: "While watching a theater without eating melon seeds and dried fruits, it's not considered watching a theater!" Everyone readily accepted. Xu Yeyue looked at the stage, pouted her mouth and said, "The opening gong show is the most boring, why don't Lian Xiuxiu get out?" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Han Bai went out separately, touching her and Zhuang Qingshuang's thighs and said with a smile, "Why are you bored? Let Weifu give you some opening gong show and enjoy it." The eyes of Qi Changzheng and others immediately focused on his two strange hands. Embarrassed, the two women hardened their hearts and pushed his hand away. Qi Changzheng loves to tease Xu Yeyue the most, saying: "Yue'er was squeezed and touched by someone but she didn't get slapped in the face, so what you said just now is just to see who is squeezing you! Now it's just that Han Bai squeezed a little earlier." Someone in the front row turned his head away and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! You are all sitting behind me." It turned out to be Chen Lingfang. The ministers and generals beside him all turned to come, scrambling to say hello to Han Bai, the famous man. After a lot of disturbance, he returned to the previous state. Feng Xinglie remembered Fan Liangji, and said to Qi Changzheng who was separated from Xiao Linglong, Gu Qianlian and Han Bicui, and Han Bai who was further away: "Brother Fan went to see the teacher and the others, why are you still in the future?" Qi Changzheng was concerned about Bo Zhaoru, and looked back after hearing the words, but his sight was blocked, so he simply stood up and looked at the entrance, only to see that there were still people entering the arena, and there were not many vacant seats left. Suddenly felt something strange, and looked carefully, it turned out that the ladies and beauties in the dozen or so rows behind were all focused on him. Satisfied, Qi Changzheng grinned, revealing his sunny smile and dazzling white and neat teeth, showing a powerful masculine charm. The girls were dumbfounded when they had never seen such a person before. Qi Changzheng nodded with a smile, sat back down, shook his head and said, "I still don't see the old thief." Han Bicui was jealous and said: "You are really looking at women." Han Bai couldn't help laughing. The seats in the theater are divided into four groups, with more than 20 rows in each group, and 15 seats in each row. Their row was the fifth row in the middle, and there were a few seats reserved for Fan Liangji and others who hadn't arrived. This seat looked out to the stage, comfortable and clear. Xu Yeyue and Zhuang Qingshuang were very excited to watch the play with Han Bai, and couldn't help putting the peeled melon seeds into Han Bai's mouth, full of affection and joy. Han Bai sat comfortably in the chair, enjoying the considerate and affectionate service of the two women, while listening attentively to the drum music on the stage. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to appreciate. When he was bored, he couldn't help eavesdropping on the conversations of the people around him. Just like usual, the surrounding area was originally just a humming sound, but it immediately became clearly audible. Han Bai chewed on the melon seeds and thought to himself that if he had nothing to do, he might as well test his ear power after his great improvement in skills. The heart was moved, and the ears were busy with work, and suddenly the noise and the sound of drum music resounded in the ear cavity. Han Bai was taken aback, and quickly recovered his strength, and his ears became quiet, but the eardrums were already aching. He was overjoyed, he didn't expect his hearing to be so much better than before, and he became addicted to playing.Carefully gather strength and focus only on Qi Changzheng and Han Bicui. The surrounding noises subsided, leaving only Qi and Han talking and laughing in low voices. I only heard Qi Changzheng say: "How many children does Bicui plan to raise for my old relative?" Han Bicui shyly whispered in his ear: "How about two? Too many children and my figure will lose shape." Han Bai was very interested, and he was embarrassed to eavesdrop any more. The target turned to the senior officials and ministers in the front row. They were not talking about Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, or the reorganization of the military and the six ministries. sense and interest. Han Bai felt it was more fun, so he changed the target, went to another channel, and searched for the VIP seats in the adjacent group, feeling very pleased with himself, he might be able to compete with Fan Liangji in ear skills after paying secretly. At this moment, he faintly heard someone mention his name. Han Bai secretly laughed and found someone talking about me, so he used his ears to eavesdrop on the source of the sound based on a vague impression. It happened that a familiar man's voice was deliberately lowered and said: "The young master has been left beside the old man and cannot be contacted." Startled, Han Bai sat up straight, forgetting to use his skills to eavesdrop. Isn't this Mr. Lian, the strategist who fooled around with Meiniang and was taught by Tianming?Why did it appear here so recklessly? Xu Yeyue and Zhuang Qingshuang looked at him in amazement when they saw his expression was different. Han Bai looked in that direction, and happened to see Qi Tai, the military servant who had met once in the third row in front of the adjacent group, whispering to another handsome man in official uniform. Qi Tai was really clever, Han Bai's gaze fell on his back, and he turned his head vigilantly, causing Han Bai to shrink back into his chair in fright. Xu Yeyue moved her small mouth to his ear and asked, "What did you find?" Han Bai made a silent gesture, closed his eyes and continued to eavesdrop, and Qi Tai's voice immediately rang in his ears: "Old Yan's people have been watching me, alas! No matter what method you use, the most important thing is to inform Mr. Lord go away for a moment." Mr. Na Lian replied: "It has been arranged early!" Then he went to the backstage to chat with other people like to join in the fun. Han Bai broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the Destiny Sect was carrying out a conspiracy against Zhu Yuanzhang. Suddenly someone sang loudly: "The Son of Heaven is here!" The theater was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. Zhu Yuanzhang led Yun Wen, Mrs. Gong, Yan Wangdi and a group of concubines to the entrance of the box seat through a special passage, accompanied by a group of shadow eunuchs. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "My son and I sit together, and the rest of you can sit down separately!" Mrs. Gong and Yan Wangdi certainly knew his intentions. As long as Yun Wen was firmly controlled by his side, even if the Destiny Sect had all-powerful means, it would be difficult to use it on him. Yun Wen became his shield instead. Although Mrs. Gong was reluctant, she dared to object and obediently entered the right side seat. Yan Wangdi and Zhu Yuanzhang exchanged glances, and led the retainers into the box seat on the left.Because of the matter of scattered flowers, King Xiaoyan sent him back to Shuntian Mansion long ago, so he did not accompany him. Yun Wen followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the box seat with his head down, and fisted his hands. Just now, one of his subordinates stamped on his palm while helping him out of the car. When Zhu Yuanzhang came to the seat, he saw nearly 2,000 people left their seats and knelt down, shouting loudly: "May my king live forever, and live longer than Nanshan!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a chuckle: "Everyone, please, today is my big day. You don't need to perform the rituals of the emperor and ministers, just go to the theater as you like!" Everyone cheered and agreed, but no one dared to stand up and sit back in the chair until Zhu Yuanzhang sat down. The drum music on the stage was louder than ever before. Yun Wen tremblingly sat down next to Zhu Yuanzhang, taking advantage of the moment just now, he had already seen the imprint left by his palm, even though he had wiped it off, his heart was still heaving.Fortunately, he has practiced the "secret heart method" taught by the Destiny since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to hide it from the shadow eunuchs behind him just by speeding up his heartbeat. That is the word "separation". Didn't even his mother, Mrs. Gong, ignore her? Zhu Yuanzhang's kind and chilling voice sounded beside him: "Grandson! What are you thinking?" Yun Wen was startled, and replied softly: "The grandson is thinking about Lian Xiuxiu's sex skills!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak any more, and turned his eyes to the stage. With Yun Wen beside him, he should be able to enjoy Lian Xiuxiu's good show with peace of mind. Can't help but think of Ji Xixi who was famous in Beijing back then. Without Yan Jingan and Ji Xixi, and without Concubine Chen Gui, what about longevity?
