Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 217 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(4)

Perhaps it was because of the martial law in the whole city, temporary guard posts and patrolling officers can be seen everywhere in Cangzhou City.With the slightest disturbance, guards would jump out from various unexpected places.

Sometimes they jumped off the roof of a certain house, and sometimes they got out from the next room.As long as someone dares to sneak around on the street, and is unlucky to be discovered, he yells "Catch the thief!"Even if the incident happened on the east side of the city, within a short while, the guards on the west side of the city would follow after hearing the news.Therefore, people can often see heavily armed soldiers searching around the city in the streets and alleys.

And this place happens to be fashionable and arty, and the place of fireworks is everywhere.Unlike Yuyi Town, where all the people who are engaged in low-level jobs are driven to the same place, in Cangzhou, everyone is good at poetry and poetry, and there are scholars everywhere.

Here, a literati does not refer to a person with profound knowledge, and an elegant scholar does not refer to an elegant person-but a type of person who knows how to enjoy and is used to trashing things.They equate their pride with how many banquets they hold, how many wine ponds they dig, and how many women they have affairs with.

We can’t say that their lives are corrupt, because the good life in their fantasy is accompanied by good wine and beautiful women every day. They have enough gold, silver and jewels to squander. pity.

The Yumantang managed by Su Qing happened to be located near the county government office in the city, and nine out of ten guests received were bureaucrats from all over the place.From here, you can walk in any direction within [-] steps, and you will see another building like "Yumantang". More than anything.

In this city, it seems that whoever does not build a pavilion in a wine shop will be tolerated by literati and cast aside by refined scholars.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are two actors walking on the street.But for the travelers who had just entered the city, the number of guards patrolling in front of them was truly astonishing. In order not to attract so much attention, they had never ridden a horse since entering the city, and had been walking silently. at the bazaar.

Those people with lofty ideals who were racking their brains to find clues and wanted to bring to justice the two wanted criminals who offered a reward of a thousand taels never expected that the criminal would appear in front of them with another identity, and they didn't even know it.

After a while, Bai Feng and Murong Yan arrived at Yumantang before sunset that day. At that time, there were still heavy guards in front of the gate, and everyone who wanted to enter, regardless of their status, would be severely interrogated.Fortunately, Baifeng was able to take out the customs clearance document hidden in the big gray cloth bag to prove his identity, so that he didn't have to have too many verbal entanglements with the servants.

Yu Mantang's waiter came and took the two horses away, only Bai Feng and Murong Yan brought in their musical instruments.I thought that this journey would be able to meet Su Qing smoothly and dictate the request, but unexpectedly, the young servant brought two actors to meet, and it turned out to be Mei Lin and Mei Xianggong, the great eunuchs of the dynasty.

Bai Feng and Murong Yan walked through the familiar lobby, where the young swordsman competed with Su Qing in drinking capacity that day, and won by a thrill.Now, the place is still crowded with people, and they can't stop singing and playing for a moment. When they get tired, they immediately step off the stage and let a few sisters below take their place.

"The work of the sisters is still so complicated, the mood of the master is not easy to coax!" The waiter watched the girl playing the song come and go, and couldn't help feeling: "The two came here specially from Yuyi Town. To teach art, but after hearing the name of Mr. Su, it was decided?"

Bai Feng said: "We have also heard a little about Mr. Su's reputation as a 'Grand Thief', but we have never seen it with our own eyes. This time, thanks to the recommendation of the eldest son of the Zhao family in Yuyi Town, we have this good opportunity."

"Oh! Two, please go here with the little one."

After all, the boy found a way to climb up the stairs to the second floor, looking very hidden, as if he really wanted to take them to see Su Qing.In fact, he just quietly sent those two to Mei Lin who was sitting in the tall pavilion.

But after a while, Bai Feng noticed that there were more and more guards around him, until the boy was stopped by several people on the road, and he realized that he had come to a relatively deserted and serious place.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

"The young one is in accordance with Mr. Mei's order. Whoever wants to look for Mr. Su, he should be led to Mr. Mei first."

After all, two soldiers with long guns let go of the road.

"Mei Xianggong?" Murong Yan said in a low voice in surprise, "Brother A Niu, it's not Mr. Su!"

Before the words finished, Bai Feng held Murong Yan's hand, and while helping her up the stairs, said: "Don't panic, just listen to me later..."

Several people walked up to a small pavilion that was independent from other areas of Yumantang. The inside was covered with white and red curtains. In the center of the curtains sat a man. He had a delicate voice and spoke in a high-pitched tone. He asked: " I heard that you are the actors who came to teach art?"

"Yes, the villain is from Beizhen." Baifeng cupped his hands and said, "With his wife, Yaogu, I want to spread Xianbei songs here."

"Beizhen? The lair of the mob and the party?" Mei Lin sneered, his fat and short body could be seen squatting and trembling through layers of curtains.

"Mr. Mei, we are just singers. We are home all over the world and have no fixed place. We just happened to walk to Beizhen. We were fortunate to be appreciated by Mr. Zhao, who is also familiar with Su Qing, so he recommended us as husband and wife to come here. Live here."

After speaking, Mei Lin suddenly beckoned to his side and asked others to help him out of the pavilion.

The curtain is gradually lifted, and the shadow behind the curtain is getting bigger and bigger.In the end, people saw a thin and tall woman supporting an old man with white hair and a pale face.

Mei Lin, who is said to be the son of Qilin, has won the trust of Emperor Gao.He was born an eunuch, neither male nor female.Even though he is over fifty now, he still has beautiful eyes and delicate skin.Coupled with all kinds of heavy makeup, it is very easy for people to mistakenly think that this is a noble lady.

It's just that the aging and degeneration of limbs is artificial and irreversible.His figure was heavily fattened and accompanied by a slight hunchback, so his body was short and ugly, but his legs were straight and long, which shows that he was also a handsome man in his youth.Now, against the beautiful woman beside him who looks like a strange flower, Mei Lin is like a dying old man, and that girl is as kind as his granddaughter.

"Then, are you going to sing a song now?" Mei Lin tried every means to see the actor couple in front of him clearly, walking as close as possible.

"Ah?" Murong Yan let out a coquettish voice inadvertently, it was the kind of voice full of horror and doubt, she probably never thought about what the person who has been chasing her all this time looks like.Immediately apologized, saying: "Little girl is rude."

"Bold! What do you mean, Mr. Mei looks very scary?" The woman holding Mei Lin angrily shouted: "Come on, get this bitch out!"

"Stop! Xinghe, don't be so domineering, the truth is really strange..." Mei Lin said: "After living for so many years, I have never heard the music outside the Great Wall, let them go down and play music. "

"As ordered..."
