Chapter 8 Changlefang
Near noon, in a corner of Xiyang City, guests in Changlefang were like clouds. Lu Wuji and a dozen companions walked out of the gate. His eyes were dull and his steps were stiff like walking corpses. After walking several steps, he looked up at the sky and found that it was Lang Lang's universe, and he came to his senses a little.
On the side, the lost and desolate Han Chan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, looked at the passers-by around, and let out a sigh: "It was so exciting just now!"
Quanyou, who is responsible for the position of "tour guide", saw these Youyankees who claim to be capable and were shocked by the large-scale shadow play "A Chinese Ghost Story", and couldn't help but be proud: This is a specialty of Xiyang!
The performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very outstanding, with a turbulent plot. Each show can scare the audience who watched the show for the first time and burst into a cold sweat, but it is also fascinated. Everyone knows that these people are now shocked by the "special effects" and really think there are ghosts and gods on the stage.
The "Master Yan Chixia" with profound magical powers, the female ghost "Xiaoqian" who is a ghost but makes people sympathize with, and the "Grandma" with profound magical powers, made them look blinded and sweated by the fierce fighting scene.
The devastated Han Chan had no knowledge, but now he had seen such a shocking performance. He couldn't help but ask: "Lieutenant Quan, then... that Yan... Taoist Master Yan is really powerful?"
"Of course, but this is an acting skill, and you can't take it seriously outside the play."
"oh.."
The others followed the ruined Han Chan and nodded. Lu Wuji saw the prosperous street scene in front of him and looked at the sun again. He felt hungry and asked Quanyou in anticipation: "Lieutenant Quan, where are you now?"
"Let's go and have some delicious food!" Quanyou laughed, "I have enough circulation coupons in my pocket!"
"good!"
Everyone cheered loudly and followed Quanyou forward in anticipation. These days they were having fun in Xiyang City, only to regret that they were not big enough and that the delicacies they ate every day were not the same.
Lu Wuji looked at the street scene again, looked at the pedestrians talking and laughing, and watched the passers-by and children coming and going, and suddenly he wanted to get married.
For him, he witnessed King Xiyang with his own eyes... Xiyang City under King Bin, seeing such a prosperous street scene, knowing that the people live and work in peace and contentment, he couldn't help but think that if he got married and had children, his family would live here, it would be good.
Lu Wuji and others recently surrendered and obeyed orders in front of King Bin's tent. Now, with King Bin, he returned to Huangzhou and saw the appearance of Xiyang City. He and several other guards of the royal palace have taken Lu Wuji and others to eat, drink and have fun in the city these days.
Of course, this is "public consumption", and the expenses are paid by the King of Bin's Mansion, and there is no need to pay out of your own pocket. It is a way for King of Bin to reward soldiers. Therefore, not only Lu Wuji and others, but also the new recruits who were absorbed into the Hulin Army during the war also had the benefits of "Three-day Tour of Xiyang".
After learning, everyone said they were satisfied and their intention to serve King Bin became increasingly urgent.
While walking, two carriages slowly drove by one after another. When everyone saw the entourage, they couldn't help but stop. Seeing this, Lu Wuji asked, "Lieutenant Quan, what's the matter?"
"Ah, it's okay."
All the people who continued to move forward and followed the two carriages, one of them was the guards of Prince Bin's Mansion. He had met several times, but the other party did not "attend" and rarely appeared on weekdays.
Among the two carriages, there should be King Bin's guests, so they will not inquire about this or say it randomly.
......
Zhang Lihua, wearing a long skirt, wore a cloak, and with the help of her maid, stepped down the carriage on the steps and found herself in a stairs with no one on both ends of the stairs. Behind the wall next to it was a tall building.
The building seems to be a hall with many windows but is blocked by curtains.
The sound of silk and bamboo came from the building, as if someone was playing musical instruments inside, and she didn't watch much, waiting for Chen Jae who was getting off the car later.
"Butler Li" who got off the bus first led the way for two guests in front. The group entered through the small door opened on the wall and walked between the corridors.
Chen Jane, who was also wearing a long skirt and a cloak, was very nervous at this time. She held Zhang Lihua's hand and looked at the road ahead, feeling uneasy.
Zhang Lihua was not that nervous because she had figured it out long ago. Since she didn't have the courage to commit suicide, she would accept her fate.
She and Chen Hua lived in the manor by the side of the mountain for more than half a year, but the mysterious person behind the scenes never showed up. Now, this "Butler Li" said that he was ordered by the Lord and asked them to "speak". Zhang Lihua knew that her fate would be clear.
Early this morning, the carriage carried her and the other two out of the villa. I don’t know how long it took to enter the city. The city was very lively. The carriage walked slowly until here. Zhang Lihua didn’t want to open the curtains and look around the whole way, although the curtains could really be lifted up and saw the scene outside.
Or, when passing by the city gate, yell hard to "help" in order to survive in a desperate situation.
However, it is meaningless to do such a thing because she can no longer go back.
The imperial concubine who had been missing for more than half a year, no matter what the facts were, she would be said to be a broken flower and a broken willow. Even if she returned to Jiankang and saw the official family again, the official family might cry with joy, but sooner or later, the thorn in the official family's heart will turn into a thorn.
A woman who is not favored is useless no matter how beautiful she is.
As she thought about it, Zhang Lihua felt sad, but she quickly cheered up. She and Chen Hua followed "Butler Li" all the way to the tall building and climbed up the wooden ladder.
There was a noise in my ears, as if there were many people next door making noise. This situation made Zhang Lihua a little strange because she felt that she was in a theater, with spectators next door waiting for the show to begin.
During Jiankang, she often accompanied Chen Shubao out of the palace in a very short dress, and occasionally went to the theater in the city to watch the various aspects of all living beings. Of course, the palace guards had already made secret arrangements, so no one dared to disturb him.
Now, the mysterious man actually saw her in the theater? What is the purpose?
Walking to the end of the stairs, Zhang Lihua and her party came to an open room on the second floor. On one side is the terrace and on the other side is the door. Zhang Lihua believed that behind the door should be the private room of the theater.
"Ah, a guest is here!"
Suddenly someone spoke, and his tone was strange. Zhang Lihua looked in the sound and saw a white parrot hanging under the eaves in a bird cage, saying: "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar!"
A very spiritual bird.
Zhang Lihua thought so, and the two maids stepped forward, took off their cloaks for her and Chen Ja, and carefully hung them on the clothes hanger beside them. Zhang Lihua noticed that a cloak had been hung there, and it looked like the style and pattern, which should be used by the woman.
The door of the room was gently pushed open by the maid. "Butler Li" who had been leading the way came in. After a moment, he came out and saluted respectfully: "Dear guest, please come in."
Chen Meng was very nervous and squeezed Zhang Lihua's hand more and more tightly, while Zhang Lihua took a breath and stepped forward.
When she walked into the room, the light was a little dim, but there were candles in the room, and it was actually not much darker. Zhang Lihua quickly saw the situation in the room clearly. She found that this place was indeed a theater box, and the window of this room was facing the stage, and the location was very good.
Then, her eyes fell on the only person in the room. The man looked at her with a smile, and the candlelight shone on his face.
Zhang Lihua's first reaction was surprise, because the other party turned out to be a woman.
The second reaction was still surprised because the other party was very beautiful.
It's really beautiful.
