Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

Han Bai was about to discuss with Qi Changzheng and Feng Xinglie, but Qi Changzheng stood up and waved towards the entrance. At this time, the good show is about to come, and Zhu Yuanzhang is driving here, everyone stopped talking and concentrated on the stage, so Qi Changzheng's standing up action immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the box seat, looked at the entrance. It turned out that Fan Liangji entered the arena accompanied by a slender and beautiful beauty dressed in warrior attire. He smiled and said, "The one standing up must be Qi Changzheng. I don't know who this beauty is." ?”

Ye Sudong who was behind leaned forward and said in a low voice, "That's Bo Zhaoru, the famous master of Gu Jianchi, 'Hui Jian'." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to show that he had heard it. Ye Sudong took the opportunity and said: "Concubine Chen Gui is here, she is waiting for the emperor's instructions outside the box." Complicated expressions flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he sighed lightly and said, "Let her in!" Ye Sudong made a gesture, and after a while, Chen Yuzhen, who was beautiful and beautiful, bowed down under Zhu Yuanzhang's seat, and said softly: "Yuzhen wishes you a long live, a long life, and a healthy dragon body!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly: "Look up, let me take a good look at you!" Chen Yuzhen raised her pretty face, but her reddish pretty eyes drooped down, and her long and high eyelashes trembled, who could not help but feel pity. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again and said, "Come on! Sit next to me and watch the show with me!" At this time, Fan Liangji and Bo Zhaoru had just walked to Gu Zixian who was sitting on the outermost seat, and entered the row of seats. Han Bai was in a hurry and didn't know who to consult with, when he saw the old villain as if he had seen a savior, he gave up his seat to Bo Zhaoru, and waved him over with Fan Liangji to sit in the vacant seat at the other end.

When Bo Zhaoru squeezed past Qi Changzheng who was standing up, a faint fragrance was sent into his nostrils, making him ecstatic.Intentionally or not, his chest touched Bo Zhaojia's fragrant shoulder. Bo Zhaoru's delicate body trembled, and she glanced at him quietly. After sitting down, the drum music changed and the show began. The first scene is "Eight Immortals Celebrating Birthday" performed purely to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang.Watching Tieguai Li, Lan He and others appear on stage one by one with their unique acting skills, Han Bai quickly reported to Fan Liangji the conversation between Qi Tai and Mr. Lian who had just overheard.

The theater gradually returned to its previous noisy atmosphere. Although these actors who were able to perform in front of the imperial court were not as attractive as Lian Xiuxiu, they were all top actors from all over the world, and immediately attracted waves of voices. When Han Xiangzi finished playing the flute and the music stopped, Lian Xiuxiu, who played the role of He Xiangu, walked out of the stage with a basket of flowers, singing and dancing, with an incomparably moving posture, while the other seven immortals hurriedly stepped aside, She did the grand finale. As soon as she made her debut, it was as if the sun was rising from the east, shocking the audience, and everyone held their breaths, not only attracted by her beautiful contemporary style, but also fascinated by her singing voice that can turn all living beings upside down without any musical instruments.

Her singing voice is sweet and delicate, and her words are so clear that it is almost miraculous. When she is in a hurry, there is still no high-pitched disorder. She is as graceful as pearls falling on a jade plate. Lift the weight as lightly as possible, and the power of breathing is fully displayed, which is exciting. Han Bai and Fan Liangji were discussing some urgent matters, but they were so engrossed in her facial expression and singing that they completely forgot about the business. Up to Zhu Yuanzhang, down to the underage children like Yun Wen, they all watched mesmerized. After Lian Xiuxiu sang a song, the drums started again, and the other seven immortals joined in the chorus to celebrate the birthday of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was seated in the last square box.

Fan Liangji and Han Bai even screamed strangely, they were so excited that they forgot everything. Qi Changzheng raised his arms and shouted: "Lian Xiuxiu is coming again!" It's a pity that his cry was drowned out by other people's shouts. It wasn't until the Eight Immortals returned to the backstage that the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Liangji and Han Bai jumped up at the same time. Feng Xinglie was startled and said: "What's the matter?" Fan Liangji pushed Han Bai back into the chair, and said via voice transmission: "You explain to them, I'll go to Lao Yan, don't startle the snake." He went right away.

Feng Xinglie and Qi Changzheng moved over, and the latter met Bo Zhaoru's beautiful feet. Han Bai explained the whole thing in just a few moments. Feng Xinglie said: "Then where is Mr. Lian now?" Han Bai looked up and saw that the situation in the arena was chaotic. Everyone took advantage of the gap between the two plays to exercise their muscles and bones, or took the opportunity to engage in social activities. Young men and women were even flirting and flirting. Mr. Na Lian has long since disappeared. Suddenly there was a pain in his back, and he turned around, it turned out that Zhuang Qingshuang had poked him with his finger.

Zhuang Qingshuang said with an innocent expression: "They want me to ask you, what is the reason for being so nervous?" Han Bai looked over, starting with Bo Zhaoru, followed by Xu Yeyue and even Gu Zixian who was farthest away. Ten beautiful faces were staring wide-eyed waiting for the answer.Sighing, he said: "The old thief has orders not to scare the snake, you guys stay here and watch the show obediently, let's go exercise and come back immediately." Xiang Feng and Qi greeted each other and squeezed into the crowd walking towards the exit middle. All the seats in the backstage were lowered at this time, which made people feel better psychologically, otherwise no one would dare to face that side.

Zhu Yuanzhang rested his elbows on the armrest, supported his drooping forehead, lost in thought, and seemed to need such a short break because of fatigue. Yun Wen wanted to excuse himself to go out to get some air so that he could leave for a while, but he was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's accumulated prestige, even though he was secretly anxious, he didn't dare to disturb him. Looking at Chen Yuzhen, I saw her beautiful silhouette as still as still water, and she didn't look at him from the end of her eyes. The eyes of the shadow eunuch and Ye Sudong were all focused on him, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he had no good way to get out.

With a sigh, he had to wait for a more appropriate time. Han Bai and the other three squeezed out among the crowd. Since Lian Xiuxiu will play the leading role in the next scene, it will take a while to change costumes and make up.So many people think of ventilation or convenience outside the shed.The masses are like that. When they see someone flocking to do something, others will follow suit, so as to take advantage of the excitement. Qi Changzheng was most used to this kind of scene, he took the lead, and when he saw a man, he used his shoulders, arms, elbows, etc. to push the man away gently, so as to speed up.If it's a pretty big girl or a beautiful young woman, they'll jostle and jostle each other jokingly, begging for a little bit, so happy. Seeing this, Han Bai felt amused, and hurriedly followed suit, and Feng Xinglie, who was standing next to him, shook his head. Sure enough, most of those ladies seemed to be very happy to be squeezed by the two of them, and they pretended to be coquettish when they were taken advantage of, instead of slapping them. At this time, they only hoped that they would not walk out of the shed so quickly. The three of Qi Changzheng arrived in the crowd of more than ten women in luxurious clothes, surrounded by warblers and swallows, and coquettish smiles. When Qi Changzheng was enjoying himself, one of the beautiful young women walked towards him unsteadily. Turn upside down in your arms. Qi Changzheng laughed, stretched out his hand to support her fragrant shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, be careful!" The young woman moaned coquettishly, her body seemed to lean against him feebly, and she raised her face to look at him. Just as Qi Changzheng looked down, he saw that this woman was extremely pretty, especially her pair of slit eyes, which were shining brightly, and when he was confused for a while, the other's elbow rushed towards his chest. At this time, Han Bai and Feng Xinglie were squeezed between them and Qi Changzheng by other women who were traveling with the young woman, blocking their way, and Qi Changzheng could no longer be seen. Han Bai's demon is so sharp, he immediately knew something was wrong, snorted coldly, and crashed into the space between the two women. Qi Changzheng was lost for a moment, and immediately woke up. At this moment, the opponent's elbow was only an inch away from his chest, which made him even more astonished. . The cold wind hit his body from behind, making him trapped in a harsh situation surrounded by enemies. In the blink of an eye, he judged that the female martial arts in front of him in front of several female schools was the most powerful, and could be included in the list of first-class masters.The hand holding her fragrant shoulder hastily lifted it hard, and when it was about to crush her ribs, the other fragrant shoulder produced a strange strength, and it was as slippery as a loach, making it impossible for him to exert strength. Knowing that something was wrong, he shrank his chest and abdomen, and then pushed forward to meet the opponent's elbow. Unexpectedly, before the opponent's elbow touches, he suddenly feels a little chill in the opponent's elbow. Although Qi Changzheng is young, he has extremely rich experience in actual combat. He immediately realized that this woman must have a sharp weapon tied to her elbow, and she might have been poisoned. , Pushing her horizontally with all her strength.On the other hand, he rammed another woman who was attacking him from the left, so as to avoid the enemy's attack on the right and rear. The woman in front of her was really skilled in martial arts, she didn't fall down like he imagined, she slumped slightly and slid down, turned her elbow into a counterattack, and thrust the dagger hidden in her sleeves into his bare chest. And the enemies from the other three sides also responded, shifting their positions and attacking, which put him in danger. In an instant, he realized that he was in a powerful formation of the Demon Cult. Seeing that Han Bai was about to bump into the backs of the two female fans, the figure flashed, and the two females moved away, causing him to rush into the crowd of beauties from the empty space, and the strong wind blew up, and the three belts came from the front and the two females on the left and right. Fei entangled, rolled towards his feet and brushed his face respectively. The two women who hadn't followed before sent out fingering winds at the same time, attacking Feng Xinglie who was in front of the alert. For a moment, the three were separated and fell into the siege of the other side. Although the enemy and us are fighting for life and death, but because they are all moving in the narrow space of the crowd, the movements are not big, and the loud noise in the theater covers all the sounds, just like three people huddling together among the beautiful women. Even the factory guards in the distribution field did not find anything wrong with them. These witches are all highly skilled in martial arts, even though none of them is a match for any one of them one-on-one, but when linked together into this kind of formation that can exert the most terrifying power in close combat, it can pose the greatest threat to them. What is even more disadvantageous is that they have empty weapons and cannot use them. Not only do they have no time to take them out, but they are also not suitable for using them in such a situation where their bodies are close together. The most powerful thing about Destiny Cult is that you don't even know who the enemy is, and when they suddenly appear, you will immediately take advantage of people who are caught off guard. At this time, Qi Changzheng cut the sleeves of the two people on the left with his right palm, and at the same time, he flew up and kicked the calf of the witch on the right. The dagger greeted him, and at the same time, he carried the protective qi on his back, ready to hit the sharp weapon coming from behind. "Peng!" The demon girl on the left shouted coquettishly, and her sleeves rose up to block his severed palm. Although Qi Changzheng devoted most of his energy to deal with the other three women, this witch still couldn't bear it, and was beaten by Qi Changzheng. Shocked, she moved a step sideways, but she did not show any weakness, and flicked his other hand towards him, three dots of cold light shot out from the inside of the sleeve to Qi Changzheng's waist and legs.At this time, it was too late to jump high, and the dagger of the witch in front had already reached the nose, carrying a strange fragrance. "boom!" The demon girl on the right kicked him hard, groaned and fell back, crashing into a group of young boys who thought they were flying for sex. Although he forced back the two witches, he fell into an even greater crisis. At this time, Qi Changzheng was sure that he could only avoid and defuse the attacks from the left and rear sides, and the dagger in front was a deadly kill that had to be resisted, but it was a difficult choice whether to forcibly face the attacks from the left or the rear. However, Han Bai decided to bear all the attacks. His keen sense of touch enabled him to quickly grasp the overall situation. Knowing that the main force of the enemy was concentrated on Qi Changzheng, he yelled, rolled to the ground, and drove towards Qi Changzheng's direction like a wheel. Rolling in the direction, the belt wrapped around his body was forcibly shaken off, but in fact it was hard to move. Such a trick, I am afraid that only Han Bai, who has never cared about his status and face, can do it. The witches screamed in unison. The demon girl standing in front of Han Bai dodged in panic. Han Bai laughed, and flew up from the ground to catch the demon girl who was attacking Qi Changzheng from the rear. calves. At this time, Feng Xinglie also exchanged two palms with the two witches who blocked the way. Although the two women are masters in the Destiny Cult, they still have a distance from him. It is even more unexpected that the other party has the miraculous skill of converging the three qi, blocking his first wave His true energy was already surging with blood, and when the second wave of help poured into his body, he groaned and fell back, bumping into the two demon girls behind Han Bai who were chasing and rolling forward, and they were so tired that they almost jumped into the body. In this kid's arms.When the third wave of true energy arrived, the two women spurted blood even more, and staggered back to the side, unable to fight back. The offensive behind Qi Changzheng faded away, his spirits lifted, he made a knife with his fingers, and swept it against the opponent's dagger. With the other hand, he punched the witch on the left. At the same time, his body shook quickly, and the hidden weapon shot from the left The palm he moved back swept to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the witch in front of her waved her sleeve to forcefully block Qi Changzheng's air palm, biting her lips and screaming. All the witches cast their hidden weapons together and shot at the three of them, squeezing into the crowd at the same time. At this time Han Bai bounced up, fearing that the concealed weapon would hurt others, he sent out his fingers and shot down the concealed weapon. Qi and Feng also had the same scruples. After blocking the hidden weapon, all the witches had already sneaked into the bushes and were too late to catch up. These few fights were like thunder and lightning, although it caused a little chaos, others thought it was all the girls playing, most of them didn't care, and continued their chatting, laughing and activities as if nothing had happened. Qi Changzheng said with a wry smile: "The witch really knows how to pick a place." Han Bai put his arms around his shoulders and smiled, "Shan Yuru is crazy!" The two were stunned when they heard it. Han Bai was right, Shan Yuru knew that success or failure depended on today, so she decided to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang by any means.That's why these witches who usually hide in the palace of princes and ministers, disregarded their identities and tried to remove their obstacles. Feng Xinglie frowned and said, "Why didn't Shan Yuru come and deal with us?" Qi Changzheng was startled and said, "She must have dealt with Lao Zhu herself!" At this moment, the three of them had just squeezed out of the arena, and they saw Fan Liangjizheng, Yan Wuhou, Chen Cheng, and more than a dozen leaders of the Jinyi Guards were busy investigating, and hurried over. Yan Wuwei greeted the three of them, frowned and said: "The bottom of the platform under the wing room has been searched several times, but no problem has been found, and now there are people closely watching, no one can sneak under the platform." Fan Liangji took out the detailed map listing all the passages and waterways under the imperial city from his pocket, and opened it to check: "Are there any passages under the theater?" Yan Wuji and the rest of the Dongchang people were all dumbfounded. If such a picture fell into the hands of the king of robbers, would the imperial city still be safe? Under the sunshine, the surroundings were lively and festive, but they were the only ones who were frowning and worried. Han Bai looked at the picture impatiently, and said, "Why don't you let me persuade the emperor to go away, isn't it all right?" Fan Liangji scolded: "Be more patient, boy, as long as that kid Yun Wen is not allowed to leave, this may be the best chance to catch Shan Yurui and spank his ass." Yan Wuhou said to Chen Cheng: "You tell Ye Sudong about the situation, and the emperor will decide how to deal with this matter!" Chen Cheng went as ordered. Feng Xinglie secretly thought that this Yan Wuwei really understood the way of being an official, and pushed this heavy responsibility back to Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would pursue him in the future and blame them for risking his life, and he would go away without food . Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Yan Wuhou. After waiting for Chen Cheng to go far away, this gentleman ordered the other two people to say: "Follow Deputy Commander Chen, see if he has contact with other people, whether he speaks directly to Commander Ye, and check what he said at the same time." Everyone was startled at the same time, as if he was taking this opportunity to test Chen Cheng's loyalty.At the same time, it can also be seen that under the shadow of a cup bow and a snake, Yan Wuhou doesn't even dare to trust his deputy. Fan Liang was very disappointed and said, "Why didn't you pass the way under the stage?" Yan Wuhou said: "The answer is not simple, we are responsible for the emperor's security, how can we build the playhouse in a dangerous place?" Fan Liangji quickly put the plan back into his arms, with a vigilant look that you can't confiscate it, making everyone smile wryly. Yan Wuwei looked at Han Bai with sparkling eyes and said, "Uncle Zhongqin, can you tell me in detail what happened when you heard the news?" Han Bai hurriedly told about Mr. Lian and Qi Tai. Yan Wuwei's spirit was lifted, and he made a gesture with the subordinate next to him. The man immediately took out a report from his pocket, turned to a chapter detailing the details of Qi Tai's activities today, and said: "Before Lian Xiuxiu started playing, Qi Tai sat in the front row seat near the roadside, Twenty-five people spoke to him briefly." Han Baixi said: "What I want are the records before the emperor came in." Yan Wuhou picked up the report, bowed his head to look carefully, and asked, "What does Mr. Lian look like, for example, tall, short, fat, and thin, are there any characteristics?" Han Baidao: "Slightly shorter than me, he looks like a Confucian scholar, and he looks quite good-looking." Yan Wushu's expression changed: "That must be Zhang Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry!" Qi Changzheng said in astonishment: "He is very powerful? Why are you so shocked?" Yan Wuhou let out a breath of cold air and said, "I don't know how good his martial arts are, but this theater was built by his supervisor." This time it's everyone else's turn to switch colors.
