Chapter 580: The Man in Black
The capital, the Dingguo Mansion!
Today is the birthday of the old lady in the house, and the most famous Xifu class in the capital was invited to sing in the hall, and the garden was lively at this time.
At the entrance of the backstage of the stage, the Dingguo family sent two small servants to guard, after all, most of the singers are men, and at this time, the back garden is full of noblewomen in the capital.
But at this time, the two little guys are also bored, and the servants of this Xifu class often go to the nobleman's house to sing the church, and they are very clear about the rules in the nobleman's house, so no one runs around, and the two ten little guys guarding the door are useless.
Don't look at the drama in front of the stage, but the backstage is really busy and messy, and the two little guys are affected by the busyness of the backstage and can't hear the play at the front desk clearly, so they can only be bored in a whisper to evaluate who looks good and who looks ugly.
The two were talking boredly, only to see a master and servant come over, and the woman at the head was the master at a glance, wearing a rose-red gold silk gorgeous skirt, with a scarf, and a white veil covering her face, but the looming silhouette still showed the woman's beautiful face.
The two of them looked at the girl who was following behind the woman, and suddenly they were full of excitement, quickly stood up, and saluted respectfully, "Meet the county lord!" ”
Although they can't see the woman's appearance clearly, but the Dong Lan who follows the woman behind her has recently become famous in the mansion, who doesn't know the Dong Lan girl in the East Fence Xuan, then you don't have to mix up in this mansion.
They recognized Dong Lan, and the master that Dong Lan was holding on, and there could be someone else, it must be the county lord of his own family.
"Hmm. Our county lord told you to get up, by the way, is the class master inside? Donglan said.
"Lord Xie." The two hurried to the road.
One of them said: "The class master is inside, is the county master going to find the class master, please inside, please inside!" The two of them made way of an aisle.
"Well, this is the county lord's reward for you, be a good errand!" Dong Lan threw out two red envelopes from his hands and gave them to the two of them.
The two of them were overjoyed, who didn't know that the county lord's reward had always been the most generous, so they hurriedly took it and thanked them again.
It wasn't until they watched the county lord and servant pass by them, and then entered the backstage, that the two of them happily opened the red envelope, and saw that it was one or two pieces of silver, which was worth their monthly money for more than a month, not only was it a big joy.
"We should have gone in to report just now, how did we let the county lord go in by himself?" One of them suddenly said in annoyance.
"Oh, it's not like I forgot it when I saw the county lord!" The other slapped his thigh, obviously annoyed.
"Forget it, anyway, the county lord didn't say anything and gave it back to Hehe, a tael of silver is really a lot, no wonder everyone wants to go to Dongli Xuan on an errand! When will we also have this blessing! ”
"Cut, can anyone who wants to go to Dongli Xuan, I think it's better to follow the prince!"
"That's the same, but what are you saying the county lord is doing with a hat in his house?" One of them looked inside, his eyes flashed, and he muttered quietly.
"Stupid, what is the identity of our county lord, and what is the identity of the actors here, besides, most of them are foreign men, how can the county lord show his true face in front of them!" The other was satisfied, stuffing the silver into his bosom.
"That's right, I didn't expect it!"
"Why do you care so much, how do we know the preferences of the masters!"
"Yes, yes, you're right!"
In the background, Zi Yuesheng, the head of the Xifu class, was directing everyone everywhere, and suddenly a little girl from the stage came to report that the county lord of Anyang was coming.
Zi Yuesheng didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw a master and a servant standing not far away, he hurriedly greeted him.
"I've seen the county lord of Anyang!"
"Excuse me!"
"I don't know, why did the county lord come here at this time?"
"Oh, the class master is polite, our county lord came on the order of the old lady, and the old lady said that the next show will not sing "Queqiao Meeting", and it will be changed to "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", this is lively!" Dong Lan replied on behalf of the master.
"This, okay, okay, let's get notice!" After saying this, Ziyuesheng saluted, and hurriedly ran down to Zhang Luo.
He had to be anxious, although this havoc in the Heavenly Palace was often sung, but to change the play in such a short time, they were still in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked the people on the stage to act slowly first, delaying for a while, so as to give the people behind them time to change costumes and makeup.
I have to quickly arrange for the people in the back to put on makeup, change clothes, and change tunes. This nobleman's mood is so fickle, he hasn't learned this kind of thing once and a half, at the beginning he will explain the difficulty of who temporarily changes the play, but the noble person doesn't care about that, she didn't succeed once, so I won't say it now, if you let me change it, I'll change it, anyway, I've practiced it!
The notice was in place, and Dong Lan supported the county lord and said, "Girl, let's go back!" ”
"Good!"
However, when the two of them returned the same way and walked to the entrance they had just entered, they found that the entrance was blocked by heavy wooden planks, and the two little maids who were guarding just now were gone, and they couldn't get out.
Dong Lan was in a hurry, there are so many men here, people come and go, how can the county lord stay in such a place longer, she slapped the plank hard, but there was no response, because the drum music outside was very noisy, and Dong Lan's voice was directly drowned in the drum music.
The two had no choice but to go back to the backstage to find the class master to find a way, who knew that the class owner was very busy now, and he had already disappeared, Dong Lan had no choice but to drag the little girl who had just passed them on to question.
The little girl pointed out a way out for them, there was a narrow path under the stairs where the servants took the stage to the outside, but it was very narrow, and people who were a little fatter couldn't get through, so the little girl often used this passage to run outside, and secretly took the copper plates and candy that were scattered on the stage.
Fortunately, the county lord and Dong Lan are not fat people, and they can pass guò, but this little girl told her to be careful, because this passage is actually the edge of the stage, and there is actually only a thick cloth between it and the outside, so don't accidentally step on the curtain.
Although the road that the little girl said was very unsafe, now the master and the servant had no other "way" but to follow the direction pointed out by the little girl.
This aisle is indeed very narrow, and can only allow one person to walk sideways, there is no sunlight in the aisle, it is a little dim, the master and servant, just walking forward one after the other.
Dong Lanzi opened the road in front, the county lord followed behind, the aisle was very depressing, and you could hear the deafening drum music of the stage above, close at hand, making people feel a little anxious, the master and servant wanted to go out quickly, but the stage was very large, and the aisle became very long, in the dim light, you could only go forward step by step.
At this moment, the county lord suddenly felt a movement behind him, and when he wanted to turn around to check, he felt a figure pounce on him, when the two touched, the county lord could feel that this person hugged him fiercely, and then faintly smelled the aroma of fat powder, the county lord not only frowned, but she did not resist, and fell down with the strength of this person.
This person's pounce was too violent, and he only heard the "stab" of the thick cloth used for shielding, and he couldn't bear the weight of the two of them, and it was already cracked.
Dong Lan turned his head and glanced at the two who had already hugged each other and fell, knowing that it was done, he wanted to quickly withdraw and leave.
Who knew that when she turned around and was about to leave, she keenly heard the sound of a breaking wind, and then saw a black leather gloved palm attacking her chest.
Dong Lan was shocked, she didn't expect that in this Dingguo Mansion, there would be someone attacking her in such a situation, but that person came quickly, or when she was caught off guard, the aisle was narrow, and she couldn't get out of the rags, so she quickly contained the internal force in her chest, and received this palm alive.
The palm of "pop" hit Dong Lan's chest hard, Dong Lan only felt a burst of fishy sweetness in his mouth, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the other party's face.
Firmly slapped, Dong Lan had already suffered internal injuries, and her face was pale when she landed, this injury was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury since she practiced martial arts with the girl, but fortunately she was in danger, quickly bit open a jade gourd on her chest, and then poured a drop of liquid medicine into her mouth, so that she felt much better and did not faint on the spot.
At this time, she also saw the other party's appearance clearly, the other party's whole body was black, even the head, feet, and hands were covered with special black leather goods, and even then the face was covered with a veil, which showed how cautious the other party was.
Dong Lan's mouthful of blood sprayed on the other party's face, and the other party's dress like this made it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The person who attacked this sneak attack should have been surprised that Dong Lan could resist his palm without falling, he was slightly stunned, and then he shot without hesitation.
This time, Dong Lan had already taken precautions, and she also shot at the same time as the other party shot, "Papapa" The two of them instantly slapped three times, Dong Lan only felt that her right hand hurt badly, and even the right half of her body was numb, and she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, the other party was obviously a master!
At this time, she didn't have time to think about why there was a master in the mansion suddenly, and she didn't have time to think about the purpose of this master, what she had to do now was to quickly withdraw from here, otherwise when the curtain fell, she would be exposed to people and it would be broken.
In this case, today's plan will not only go wrong, but also affect your own girl.
Fortunately, at this time, the drop of medicine she had just drunk worked, and her body felt much better, full of strength, and much lighter.
She knew that she was not necessarily an opponent when she was fighting the other party now, and she didn't have that time now, because the curtain had been pressed by Sun Zude and the "county lord", and it was only a little bit pressed, and it was about to fall.
Fortunately, the stage is not very finely built, and there is a big gap between the curtain and the stage, Dong Lan is happy when she sees this gap and has an idea! R1152
