Rebellious Contract Beast
Chapter 435 Living in vain
The Tiger Gang is in the Red Tiger Hall, in the Momei Theater.
The stands on both sides were crowded with people and noisy.
Outside the theater, a steady stream of people poured in like a tide, crowding the three doors of the theater.
The occasional cheers were like overwhelming waves, making people's ears swell.
At the back of the crowd, a girl in red frowned, obviously not liking this kind of environment, and was hesitating whether she should continue to move forward.
"Miss, let's go this way." Zhu Hong's voice came from the side. Before He Jian Chu Yun could respond, she pulled her hand and walked towards the left front.
Over there, Zhinuan Xiqing roared and pushed forward, causing dissatisfaction among the people in front. They turned around and wanted to complain, but when they saw that it was these four tall and strong humanoid tanks, they immediately shut their mouths wisely.
"There are so many people."
"Miss, the business of the Momei Theater is booming, so it's normal that there are a lot of people. Let's go in quickly, or we won't be able to see the Three Little Fortunes if we're late!"
"Okay, okay, let's go in. Tell Xiqing and the others to go slower."
"Miss, this won't do. You are a lady from a wealthy family. There are so many people here. It would be bad if someone had bad intentions towards you."
"..." Zhu Hong's words made He Jian Chu Yun couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't say anything, and let the other party support him and walk forward.
After a long while, under the violent pushing of the four maids, the people in front could no longer bear the weight of the four maids and begged for mercy and moved to the side. The six masters and servants finally walked into the theater.
He Jianchuyun looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Xuan Li, is this all your work?"
"Huh, don't you see who I am?"
"Wow! You're amazing!"
"Wow, you are so awesome~"
"Uh...what are you doing?"
“Should I learn from you?”
"I'm not being mean to you. I'm really praising you..."
"really?"
"..." He Jianchuyun felt speechless for a moment. After sneering twice, he simply stopped talking.
"Dear guests, please come in. The tea is ready. You can have more when you finish. The snacks will be served in a while."
With the four maidservants leading the way, He Jianchuyun and Zhuhong quickly went up to the second floor and, under the guidance of the theater servants, entered the luxurious box they had reserved.
Because the box was located at a high place, she could see the crowded scene below from the window. In front of the crowd were several rows of extremely elegant wooden chairs, which were already full of people.
On the stands, the original troupe changed out of their costumes and performed back and forth with Huo Xiaoming, Wang Gang, and Meng Liang. Their occasional actions and words made the audience below burst into laughter.
Tsurumi Hatsuyun took a sip of tea and didn't think there was anything funny, but she was really happy. She didn't want to and was too lazy to point out anything.
"Xuan Li, do you want to come out? Let's watch it together."
"No." Shen Yi in the consciousness space shook his head. He had seen such performances countless times and was already tired of it.
If you watch it again, it won't make you feel any funnier than when you first watched it.
After more than three months of training, Huo Xiaoming and the other two have successfully debuted.
More than half a month had passed since their first performance, and countless people were attracted by the promotional advertisements, so there were quite a few spectators. Although the three of them had been trained by the troupe for three months, it was their first time performing in front of so many audiences. They were inevitably a little stage frightened, and their movements were a little stiff, but fortunately, no mistakes were made, and they managed to pass.
In the past half month, as the number of performances of the three of them increased and their experience grew, they have now been able to blend in anytime and anywhere. They have become what people call the "Three Little Fortunes" and have gained considerable popularity in Jiangzhou City.
However, this popularity is still far from Shen Yi's expectations, but it is already pretty good.
The star-making plan can be carried out slowly. As long as the resources are in place, Xiao Sanfu will become a household name sooner or later.
"girl……"
bang~
At this moment, on the stage, Meng Liang held his head high and chest out, pretending to be a handsome young man from a noble family. He strode up to a young woman and started a conversation. However, he stumbled and fell in front of the woman's feet just after he said two words. His awkward and embarrassed expression caused the audience below to burst into laughter.
Tsurumi Hatsuyun was also amused and almost spit out the tea in his mouth with a "puff".
Zhuhong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing as well, and joined the onlookers outside in laughing out loud.
Just when the people in the box were feeling happy, someone knocked on the door outside the box.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
He Jianchuyun just thought that the waiter from the theater had brought snacks, and without thinking much, he raised his hand and waved it back. Zhinuan and Jiyue immediately walked over and opened the door of the box.
However, the people knocking on the door were not the waiters in the theater, but two men dressed in tight clothes and dressed as guards.
"Who are you?" When Zhinuan realized that it was not a treat, his thick eyebrows raised and he asked in a stern voice.
The two people outside the door did not show any change in expression. After bowing, they said expressionlessly, "We are from the Xu family. We are here on the orders of our master to bring a message to Miss Chu Yun."
Hearing the voice coming from outside the box, He Jian Chu Yun paused, the temperature in his eyes dropped instantly, and he asked in the same cold tone without any emotion: "Who is your master?"
"The fourth master of the Xu family, Xu Sihai."
"What did Xu Sihai ask you to say?"
"My master said that he wants to meet you, young lady. I hope you will do me the honor of going to the No. 2 private room to have a chat with my master."
The tone and attitude of the two people's speech were very good, but He Jianchuyun smiled coldly after listening, and sat lazily in the chair without any movement to get up.
She just said, "Since your master wants to see me, you should let him come here himself."
After saying this, she looked at the performance on the stage below and said no more.
The two Xu family guards opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but Zhinuan and Jiyue didn't give them a chance and closed the door directly. The voices of the two people outside became unclear.
"Miss Chuyun... think carefully... my master... is not rational!"
Perhaps because they did not receive a response from He Jian Chu Yun, the two Xu family guards did not want to stay any longer and left quickly because it would have been boring.
After the two of them left, He Jianchuyun looked puzzled and asked Shen Yi in his heart: "How did the Xu family know I was here?"
"Oh, how else can you know?" "What do you mean?"
"Look down." Shen Yi said.
He Jianchuyun lowered her head, but in the dense crowd, she didn't know where Shen Yi was referring to.
"what happened?"
"Look to the right."
"oh oh."
"A little further to the right."
"what?"
"The man who walked under the pillar lamp at the edge of the crowd."
Under Shen Yi's instructions, He Jian Chu Yun quickly saw a man, who was a guy doing odd jobs in the theater. When He Jian Chu Yun saw him, he also looked up, but when their eyes met, he quickly lowered his head again.
"This person..."
"The Xu family sent an undercover agent in." Shen Yi said dimly.
There are only ten luxurious VIP boxes in the entire Momei Theater, but there are too many people who want to come in to watch the show, including many wealthy people. It is more difficult to grab a luxurious box through normal channels than to win five million in the lottery.
In order to make the wallets of those rich people cleaner than their faces, Shen Yi tried his best and even set up a special ticket mechanism. Only those who bought tickets could enter, which was similar to those teahouses. Then the disciples of the Tiger Gang became scalpers and sold the tickets for the luxury rooms that originally cost fifty taels of silver to those rich kids at ten times the price.
The box the old witch is in now is the number one box in the world. How did she get here? Is there any need to think about it?
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to know who the guests in the box are. Only those who know are the internal members of the theater. But you have to know that Momei Theater is a branch of the Red Tiger Hall. The workers and even the stage troupe here are at least half members of the Tiger Gang.
So either someone has sided with the Pillow Blade Society, or the Pillow Blade Society has sent an undercover agent in.
The latter is very likely.
In this world, strength is respected and great power is concentrated in one individual. In wars between dynasties, there is often a strong man with absolutely overwhelming strength who can directly reverse the situation.
Therefore, military power is not very important to the major dynasties. No matter how many people there are, they cannot pose a threat to them. That is why we can see that some families will maintain thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers.
During this time, the Tiger Gang made a lot of money. After having the money, Shen Yi's natural idea was to recruit soldiers and build the Tiger Gang into a powerful army.
However, military expenses are really expensive. Let's not talk about the money spent on buying a set of armor, just talk about the military formations formed by the army during battle. Because there is a law in the Dahong Dynasty that prohibits the private sale of military formation secrets, Shen Yi took a lot of effort to get a copy of "Ebony Collection" from the Dajing Dynasty from the ghost market. Because it was an auction at the time, Shen Yi didn't know if he was cheated. Anyway, he spent 70,000 taels of silver to buy the "Ebony Collection".
So far, the Zhonghu Gang has only stockpiled more than a hundred soldiers, and more disciples will definitely be needed to join in the future. At the same time, the Tianxia Group also needs talent, resulting in the Zhonghu Gang urgently needing fresh blood to join. In the process of expanding the recruitment of members, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will sneak in.
There is nothing we can do about it.
"Looks like we need to kill some cockroaches."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, the Tiger Gang has enough people."
"Oh, then you should be careful."
"Okay, got it." Shen Yi shook his head, did a front flip and hung upside down above the altar.
Tsurumi Hatsuyun, Zhuhong and the other six did not take what happened just now to heart. They quickly put it behind them and concentrated on watching the performance on the stage below.
They just grumbled about the persistence of the fourth master of the Xu family next door. Not long after the two guards left, someone knocked on the door of the box again.
Boom boom boom!
This time the knock on the door was very urgent, and one could hear the dissatisfaction in the heart of the person knocking.
The girl who was covering her mouth and chuckling was stunned. She was smiling in the last second, but in the next second her eyebrows were tightly furrowed and she turned her head to look behind her.
"Miss, it must be someone from the Xu family! They are here again!"
"I know." He Jian Chu Yun's face turned cold very quickly. He Jian Chu Yun looked at Ji Yue and Zhi Nuan, opened her red lips slightly, and said, "Go, open the door."
"Yes, miss." Upon hearing this, the two maids immediately walked to the door of the box and slowly pushed it open.
This time, the people coming from outside were no longer two people, but a group of Xu family guards. Each of them carried a knife, including the two guards seen before.
At the front of these people stood a man who was about forty years old and looked a little old. He was wearing a jet-black brocade robe, and the gold ornaments on his wrists were shining. He was short and fat, and not very tall. In front of the maids, he had to raise his head a little to meet their gazes.
There was a smile on his face, but it was a smile that was somewhat meaningful.
This person is most likely the fourth master of the Xu family and the real controller of the Pillow Blade Society.
Both parties were silent for a while. Finally, Tsurumi Hatsuyun turned around, took out a pair of scissors and cut her nails with her back to him, then spoke casually, "Who are you?"
"The eldest daughter of the Tsurumi family is really forgetful. It was you who asked me to come here before. Unfortunately, I am old and have difficulty walking, but I have to come in person to see a junior." Xu Sihai said this as if Tsurumi Hatsuyun had done something against the will of heaven. After he said the last word, he let out a long sigh.
"Oh~~~"
However, He Jian Chu Yun did not tolerate him and said without turning his head: "When did I ask you to come here? I meant to ask you to get out. It's fine if your two subordinates don't understand, but you are so old and experienced, don't you understand? That's right, you have lived in vain for so many years, no wonder you can't beat your cousin."
She brought up on the spot the incident of Xu Sihai's dispute over land with the third master of the Xu family more than ten years ago. Her words were truly heartbreaking, but Xu Sihai's expression froze for just a moment after hearing it, and he quickly returned to normal, still smiling.
"I came here with such a thick face, but Miss is going to let me stand outside the door forever?"
"Sorry, there are no seats left. You'd better go back."
He Jian Chuyun shook his head and said this. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Hong, Ji Yue Zhi Nuan and other four maidservants realized what was going on and quickly took up the empty seats next to them.
Xu Sihai was not in a hurry after seeing this, and replied: "Don't worry, Miss, I have reserved a seat for myself."
As he spoke, he shook his head, and immediately two guards came in carrying a chair.
The four maidservants wanted to stop them when they saw this, but as soon as they stood up, they felt an irresistible force acting on themselves. Before they could react, Ji Yue, Zhi Nuan and the other three slumped down in their chairs, looking at the two Xu family guards with horror on their faces.
"Miss……"
