Chapter 458: Goodbye Puppet

Besides, after Su Qing left the sect, he went straight to the Han Kingdom, where Luoyang said that the plague was the heaviest.

The Han Kingdom is located in the southernmost part of the southeast continent, surrounded by water on three sides, and the people are rich and the country is strong, but because other countries are isolated by water, they rarely participate in the war.

The great war launched by the original country this time was not affected, but it was the place where the plague was most severe, which made Su Qing a little puzzled. Although there is also a plague outbreak in the original country, it is related to the fact that it has lost too many people in successive battles.

But Han, a country that is almost isolated from the outside world, is the hardest hit area by the plague, which makes Su Qing very puzzled.

Therefore, she decided to go to Han first to find out what the symptoms of the plague were.

Perhaps due to the rampant plague, the city defense of the Han Kingdom was particularly tight, and Su Qing, as an ordinary person, entered its border city without defense.

Helpless, she had to dress up as You Fanglangzhong, dressed in a Taoist robe, but carrying a big medical box on her back.

Seeing that she was a Taoist priest outside the square, and she had medical skills, she let her into the city without asking.

This place called Lishui, called the border city, is actually just a border place, after entering, only a continuous military camp, there are no people within a radius of more than ten miles.

It seems that although the Han State is not warlike, the border passes are still very tightly defended.

"This Daoist, our school will ask you to enter the account!" As soon as Su Qing entered the city, a soldier ran over.

Could it be that there are also people in the army who are suffering from the plague? Su Qing thought as he went to the school general's room with the little soldier.

The two walked around the school yard and came to a row of white grass houses, only to see a dark-faced man in civilian clothes about forty years old standing outside.

I saw the two of them coming. The man stepped forward and said to Su Qing with an eager look in his eyes, "Dao Chang is still proficient in medical skills?" Sure enough, the Tao is boundless, please come with me to the account! ”

For him, he is nondescript and very direct compliments. Su Qing just smiled and didn't speak.

The school general saw it. I can't help but look at it at it and think that its ability must be extraordinary.

After Su Qing followed the general into a white grass room, he saw him carefully close the door, and before Su Qing sat down, he hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, can you make a divination for me?" ”

Su Qing raised his eyes and glanced at him and asked, "What are the unspeakable things you can encounter?" I see that you are tired and blue, but what unusual things have happened recently? ”

"The Taoist is really clever!" When the school general heard this, he was excited to talk about the things that had plagued him for many days: "I was originally a personal school general by Major General Wang's side, and my subordinates respected me and called me a school general." ”

Speaking of this, a trace of pride naturally appeared on his face: "Because." Major General Wang is not a permanent member on weekdays, he is young and can't bear the loneliness here, and always likes to go to the city to play. ”

"Therefore, most of the military affairs of this Lishui Pass on weekdays are handled by me." Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "I myself am a person with General Wang, and I was later sent by him to the little general to be a personal schoolmaster. But in fact, as soon as I came to Lishui, General Wang Xiao handed over military affairs to me. He often stayed in Lian Cheng and did not return. ”

It turned out that General Wang Shao was a second ancestor who ****** relied on his family to ascend to the throne, but he was a little unenterprising.

This Xiao Wei should be his personal bodyguard, but he was thrown to the barracks to help him work. However, it depends on where he lives. This white grass house is only a little stronger than the ordinary soldiers' tents, and although they do the most important work, they don't win the hearts of Major General Wang.

Really. The colonel's next words confirmed her opinion: "Recently, the border has been calm, and there is not much military affairs. I'm going to stay with the Major General to keep him safe, as a result. But he was so angry that he forbade me to come close. ”

"Because of the old general's order, I had to finish the military affairs every morning while the major general did not get up, and then quietly follow him." The general said helplessly: "However, the major general plays until the second half of the night every day, and the night ten days ago, I really couldn't stay up and fell asleep." ”

As a result, when I woke up, I couldn't find the major general! But there is no place where he frequents." Speaking of this, his face became even more worried: "At this moment, a person suddenly came to report that the major general had returned to the barracks and was about to pull the generals and soldiers into the city to watch the play!" ”

This Major General Wang is too out of tune!

actually dragged the army into the city to watch the play, it is really an absurd act that people can't describe.

You must know that since ancient times, the army has been a very serious place, and it is only modern, and there will be some art troupes in the army, and in this world, basically women in the army are not allowed to enter.

Of course, the female generals who are now famous all over the world are a different story.

"Fortunately, most of the generals in the army still know the military regulations, and they didn't immediately mess around with the major general, but tried their best to deal with him." The school general said with some relief.

It seems that although this person is not high-level, he has real power.

"When I hurried back to the barracks, some of the generals were already preparing to lead the troops into the city with the major general to watch the play. Later, these people were forcibly suppressed by me with military discipline. The major general was angry, scolded me, and rode back to Licheng. ”

"Why don't you send someone to the major general's side, and you have to follow him personally?" Su Qing asked a little suspiciously.

Hearing this, the general said helplessly: "The reason why the old general sent me here is because he likes my martial arts. To tell the truth, I also sent people to follow the major general before, but I was helpless and repeatedly lost. ”

Su Qing looked at him and asked, "Is it something that happened to Major General Wang?" ”

The school general doubled up: "The Taoist god is really powerful!" At that time, after the major general left in a bad mood, I was busy with rectifying military discipline all day, and strictly ordered people in the army not to go out without orders. It wasn't until it was dark that I remembered that I couldn't stay up that night and fell asleep, but I had only closed my eyes for less than two quarters of an hour. ”

"But then the lieutenant general told me that the time the major general came back, it was at the moment when I fell asleep!" The school general looked at Su Qing with an incredulous face and said.

He is really a meticulous person, no wonder that the old general Wang sent him out to assist his son.

Su Qing thought that the matter was over, but who knows, the school general then said something that made her feel incredible: "I followed the major general for five nights in a row, and every time he was around, he disappeared inexplicably!" But as soon as the sky is bright, it will appear in the barracks. Three days ago in the night. After he disappeared, he has not returned. Governor. Please tell him a fortune and see where the major general has gone? ”

"The matter of the disappearance of the Major General. Presumably no one knows, right? Su Qing glanced at him and asked.

The general nodded solemnly and said, "Don't hide it from the chief, how can this matter be spread out?" Although the major general does not like to deal with military affairs, he must be the head of the army on this side. ”

Su Qing stroked the dust in his hand and said: "Although I am an outsider, I don't have the ability to communicate with the gods, if you are not busy with military affairs, it is better to take me to the place where Major General Licheng often goes, and see if there are any clues left." ”

Hearing him say this, the school couldn't help but be impressed by him, before. He was very ill and went to the doctor, and he also invited several Taoist priests to come, all of whom said a bunch of specious things first.

Then I made a calculation, and came up with an unknown result, which pointed out the direction, but could not be found at all.

In order to block the news of the major general's disappearance, he locked several Taoist priests in the secret room of the general's mansion.

This time, someone came to report that a Taoist priest had entered the customs and was in a hurry. The school general will invite people to come. Originally, he didn't expect much, but when he saw this Taoist who looked very pragmatic, his heart was inexplicably calmer.

Just when he proposed to go to the city to investigate, instead of taking out something that the gods were talking about for divination. This school will really let her from the bottom of my heart.

The reason why Su Qing said to go out to investigate was because although she had entered the Dao, she had cultivated the fighting method. Tijo's strength is the main, for those divination techniques. There is no way to get through.

Yes, she can only be called a monk. Not a psychic Taoist priest.

Thinking of this, the school general respected Su Qing even more, and personally took her to a big opera garden in Licheng.

"This is the young master's favorite place to come." The school general took Su Qing straight to the theater, it seems that he has been in and out of here many times, so that those little guys guarding the door don't stop them at all.

"This is the private room where the major general watches the play, and he usually watches the play here." The school will skillfully open a semi-enclosed room.

The room is very elaborately designed, with only a carved railing left in front of the stage, so that you can sit inside and see the stage very clearly.

The cloth in the room is also very delicate and gorgeous.

The gilded desk and the plain silver plate, it seems that this major general is also a master who loves to enjoy.

After taking a closer look at the room, all I heard was the noise of gongs and drums outside. Then, I saw a large number of spectators pouring into the theater.

But in a few breaths, the stage on the first floor was crowded with people, and Su Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This theater garden, business is good." ”

"Yes, since a group of puppet shows came last year, the major general has been fascinated here, and he doesn't even visit the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and he soaks here every day and waits for the show to start." The schoolmaster said with a sigh.

Puppetry? Su Qing's mind moved, thinking of the weird puppet show he encountered in a small town, and the thrilling escape after that.

When I hear these three words again, I still shudder.

"Why don't you accompany me to watch a puppet show?" Su Qing asked indifferently.

"As long as you can find a major general, don't say one, ten will also be done! It's just that the puppet show didn't start until the middle of the moon. The school general said with a sad face.

Mid-moon sky? Su Qing was even more puzzled in her heart, whether this puppet show was the original one, if that was the case, with her current mana, I am afraid it would be difficult to deal with.

Back then, she and Luoyang were also played by the weird troupe in the name of the puppet troupe, and they almost lost their lives recently.

If she could meet her again, she would be very careful!

Su Qing, like the audience, waited for the opening of the puppet show with both apprehension and excitement, and left the plague behind for a while.

After listening to the extremely difficult local drama for nearly an hour, when the moon was in the west, with the thunderous cheers of the audience, the so-called puppet show began.

At first glance, Su Qing's eyes were full of disappointment, the workmanship was rough and the form was stiff. How can the pale and weak shadow puppet play of the characters be compared with what she saw with Luoyang at the beginning?

But the audience, including the school generals around her, were very fascinated.

However, since you are here, and you have waited until now, let's see what is the mystery of this puppet show, and let the major general give up the interest of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and wait for a day to watch it?

After the play started, Su Qing first looked at the audience seriously, only to see that they were just satisfied with their wishes at first, and after watching the gradual improvement, they were sometimes worried and sometimes happy with the plot on the stage.

Although it is more engaged than watching the last big show, however, in comparison, the puppet show is indeed more vivid than the local play.

Seeing that the audience was not unusual, Su Qing began to take a serious look at those leather puppets, these leather puppets knew at a glance that they were made of animal skins, which was different from shadow puppets that were made of paper shadows.

Leather puppets are dolls made of animal skins, such as life-size, and they are really dressed in costumes to enter the play.

Although they are not as agile as real people, they can do many actions under the control of the controller, which are beyond the reach of real people.

Moreover, their appearances are more gorgeous and beautiful than those of real people.

Because, drama in this world is not developed, and the people who learn drama are all men, and women are not accepted to learn drama in this industry. Therefore, the beauties dressed as leather puppets look particularly delicate and moving.

And puppet shows are generally mostly martial arts and beauties.

What she watched today is "Nine Beauties Fighting for Husbands", which tells the story of nine beautiful and talented women competing for a handsome scholar.

When the woman in purple pushed the tallest and green-clothed beauty, I saw her react very quickly sideways to dodge.

Su Qing's eyes flashed, and he felt that the movements of the green-clothed beauty were too fast and smooth, and it didn't seem to be manipulated at all.

Next, she looked at the green-clothed beauty for a while, and gradually found that although she was covered by a thick costume, she could still feel the agility between her eyebrows and eyes, as well as a hint of heroism.

"Colonel, what do you think of that beauty in green?" Su Qing asked the school general who was fascinated by the eyes around him.

"Huh? Is it the ninth beauty? Looking at the fall of Major General Wang, there is a bit of similarity! Before, the major general liked this puppet very much! I even said I wanted to buy it! The school general said without thinking.

Su Qing's eyes flashed: "Really? This skin is similar to Major General Wang? A bold idea rose in her head.

The colonel nodded and said, "Yes, Major General Wang also loves this drama the most, so I also sneaked in a few times, but I secretly protected him in the next room." ”

Speaking of this, he walked to the picture of the beauty on the east side of the private room with some embarrassment, gently lifted the picture, and then, with an exclamation, fainted to the ground.

Su Qing quickly set up a barrier in front of the railing, hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp!

I saw that behind the one-person tall beauty picture, a dried corpse was embedded in the wall, and the figure and face were the school general in front of me!

Su Qing looked at the school general on the ground again, and saw that his face was purple, and he had long lost his breath. (To be continued.) )
