Chapter Thirty-Eight: Kun Ling Ten Miles Red

Lu Xiaohu rubbed his eyes and said; "Then the two of us will join them in the action, so that we can protect her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"No," said Ji Zetin, shaking his head in denial; "The military command is a spy organization, that is, the **** internal retreat, stay away, I am afraid that our independent column has just been established, if we cooperate with them so rashly, in case we accidentally leak the situation of the independent column, it is not good for us, Sister Lin will definitely blame, or ask Sister Lin before making a decision on whether to contact them."

Lu Xiaohu's eyes rolled around, and he thought for a while and said suddenly; "Brother Ting, you have to find a way to find out the location and time of the ambush from Sister Yin's mouth, the two of us rushed there in advance to spy secretly, if Sister Yin and the others are smooth and there is no danger, we will not show up, if there is danger, we will secretly rescue."

"That's right," Lu Caiting patted his head; "Brother, this is a good idea, I originally wanted to go back to the mountain tomorrow, it seems that I have to stay for two days, put this matter on hold and go back, and I have peace of mind, okay, sleep." After saying that, he fell down and fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Caiting and Lu Xiaohu were wandering around the city, just waiting for Yin Ying's news, wandering, Lu Caiting suddenly remembered something, pulled Lu Xiaohu to look at the place where the poster was posted, and found a few places, and sure enough, I saw a big poster written that the famous Kun Ling Shilihong of Pucheng County sang 'Farewell My Concubine' in the Cuiyun Theater at the west gate of the city tonight, Lu Caiting laughed and said, "Please invite Sister Yin to watch the play tonight!" ”

Lu Xiaohu immediately understood his thoughts and broke the way; "You want to take the opportunity to watch the play to find Qi Lianhu, the 'little leopard head' who visited you in Shuangji Town last time."

"Whoever knows me, brother." Lu Caiting rubbed his palms and said with great interest; "Drink a good drink with Friend Qi tonight, and you won't return home if you don't get drunk."

After dinner, Yin Ying and Junlian heard that they wanted to watch a play, and it was rare to see Lu Caiting so happy to watch a play, everyone was interested, and they came to the Cuiyun Theater at the west gate of the city.

Lu Caiting and the four of them walked into the venue with the crowded flow of people, they bought the premium tickets under the front row, the four of them sat down at a square table, and some hostesses offered a pot of fragrant tea and teacups, and Lu Caiting ordered a plate of pumpkin seeds, happy beans, a plate of peach crisp, and a plate of preserved fruits.

Lu Xiaohu looked at the chaotic flow of people and whispered to Lu Caiting; "I'll go backstage to find that Qi Lianhu and tell him you're here."

Lu Caiting shook his head and said; "No, after the play is over, the crowd will disperse, and it's not too late to find him again."

At this time, the flow of people gradually sat down, and the noise was smaller, Lu Caiting looked back at the second floor, the second floor was full of box rooms, specially for the powerful celebrities in Luxi County to watch the play, the box owner in the middle of the guest table was full of sitting soldiers, the person sitting on the chief seat, Lu Caiting knew, is Yin Ying's second brother, the master of the Flying Eagle Hall in Yuxi County, the current head of the Imperial Association Army Security Corps Yin Kun, the officer sitting on the left side of the officer corps has a slightly chubby face, short beard, a horizontal face, and an officer sitting on the right side, with a knife and a striped face, shallow sideburns and ears, and a rough piff, A deep knife scar on his cheek, like a centipede crawling on his face, these two officers Lu Caiting also recognized it, it was Yin Kun's worship brother, the ruffian bully of Xiaohu County, the second and third masters of the Flying Eagle Hall, and the commander of the first and second battalions of the security regiment.

It's just that there is a bald officer sitting on another table, with thick eyebrows and slightly frowned, a plump nose, thick lips and big ears, superb eyes, not angry and self-imposing, and a martial arts insider can see at a glance that he is a person who is a foreigner in kung fu, Lu Caiting thought; 'How could this man be mighty and not vicious, and mingle with these ruffians?' Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tilt my head and ask Yin Yingdao; "Who is the bald officer at your second brother's table upstairs, why haven't you seen him with your second brother on weekdays?"

Yin Ying looked at the second floor and replied; "That's the third battalion commander under my second brother, called Zhen Lingshan, known as 'Sullen Thunder Tiger' by the people of the rivers and lakes, he was originally a monk from Qingyuan Temple in Weimeng Mountain, and somehow he followed my second brother, and he used to just run errands in the Flying Eagle Hall, and since the establishment of the Imperial Association Army Security Regiment, he has often been with my second brother."

Lu Caiting suddenly woke up, at that time with the thief of the swallow gate to the Qingyuan Temple to return the jade Guanyin, the Qingyuan Temple host Master Shanzhi once mentioned with emotion that he has a disciple, who has won the martial arts of the master, I don't know how to go mad, joined the Imperial Army, I think it must be this person, if there is an opportunity, he will be lost.

On the stage, the curtain opened, the audience fell silent all of a sudden, accompanied by the sound of stringed instruments, drums and gongs, a woman in ancient costume with a long skirt and a long skirt mopping the floor slowly walked into the scene, the woman's hair bun was high and hibiscus-like, gold hairpin and silver hairpin, jewelry, jade face like peony, pink cheeks crimson, phoenix eyes with spring, looking forward to expressiveness, she was graceful, graceful, light lotus steps, one fold and one step on the drum, a generation of Jiangnan beauty Wu Ji performed beautifully.

The audience erupted in a warm applause and cheers, the woman held the orchid shape with her fingers on the stage, and a few bright actions, which hung the audience's appetite into the air, and then shook the purple silk curtain on her shoulder, let go of her voice and sang; "The king sits alone in the military tent, only the candle is lonely, the light is dim, the night wind outside the tent is bleak, and the embattled is ...... with the wind."

As the song sang, Wu Ji danced and stretched, the skirt fluttered, and the song began again; "Singing the soldiers to look forward to their families, shaking their fighting spirit in front of the army, singing makes the king sad, and the dream soul haunts the Jiangdong soil. Concubine, it's so distressing, it's so painful! At the beginning, the king took advantage of the courage to dominate the industry, and tried his best to pull out the mountain and boast of the world. The army is invincible, the iron hooves are rolling mountains and rivers, and now ...... "The woman who plays Wu Ji is the famous Kunling Shili Red of Pucheng County promoted on the big poster, her words are round, melodious, clear, through the clouds and the moon, soft, drizzle and flowers, pleasant and beautiful.

The hero is lonely, the beauty is desolate, with the continuation of her singing and the development of the plot, the audience is immersed in her wonderful performance, many old opera fans are shaking their heads and following her tone and rhythm, I didn't expect a small Pucheng County drama to be so talented, sensational in Yuxi County, this woman can simply not be called Shili Hong, renamed Baili Hong, Qianli Hong, and even called Jiangnan Hong.

Lu Caiting took a sip of tea and whispered to Lu Xiaohu; "Although I don't know the way of opera, but we have also seen a lot of opera, I always feel that this woman's performance is full of emotion, with a different style, no wonder Brother Qi complains that their master performs everywhere with the opera all day long, and he can't help but be fascinated by this woman."

Lu Xiaohu nodded, as if he understood the truth; "That's right, I also think that this woman smiles and frowns, a look, and a movement are all seductive, her voice is sweeter and more crisp, and her singing makes people's hearts sour, if we call Brother Yuling, he understands the doorway in this opera, and then give us guidance and explanation."

At the end of the play, the curtain slowly closed, the audience responded in a daze, the applause and cheers lasted for a long time, and by waiting for the middle time of the next show, the audience also relaxed their emotions, drank tea, knocked melon seeds, and commented on the plot.

In the box room on the second floor, Yin Kun slapped the table and hummed; "Okay, this mother's appearance, acting skills, and singing voice are all first-class, when my brother was in Shanghai, he saw many top domestic Kunling celebrities, but they were not so enjoyable, which made us appetite." With that, he took a glass of wine and drank it all, then ripped off a chicken leg from the table and bit it.

'Nan Tianba' Suo Biao, who was sitting on the right side, suddenly stood up and left his seat and walked downstairs, everyone just thought that it was convenient for him to go to the thatched house, and they didn't care, and the orderly at the other table saw this and hurriedly left his seat and went forward.

Suo Biao didn't go to the thatched house after going downstairs, he went drunk to the door of the actor's dressing room behind the stage, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was about to open the curtain and go in.

Behind him, a middle-aged man quickly turned around and stopped with his arms outstretched, and said with a smile on his face; "Master Jun, this is where the actresses put on makeup and change clothes, and it is inconvenient for you to go in."

Suo Biao stopped, burped, squinted at the middle-aged man, and asked; "Who are you who dare to stand in the way of Biao Ye?"

"Don't dare, don't dare," the middle-aged man shook his robe, and said with a smile in his fist; "We are in charge of errands and chores in this troupe, if the military master has any dispatch, just give an order, and the villain will do it."

Suo Biao crossed his hands on his waist and gave orders to the middle-aged man with great vigour; "Go and tell Shili Hong, who has just finished acting, to hurry up and put on makeup, and then go with me to the second floor to drink with my eldest brother in the private room, and tell you that my eldest brother is the master of the Flying Eagle Hall in this county town, and now he is the head of the security regiment.

The middle-aged man immediately looked embarrassed and smiled again; "Master Jun, Boss Shilihong has just finished acting, I'm afraid that I haven't eased up yet, so let's choose another time."

The orderly also stepped forward and yelled at the middle-aged man; "Our 'Nan Tianba' Suo Ye spoke, didn't you understand? Don't toast, don't eat, and let the master take her out. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man was struggling, Suo Biao had no intention of going in, so he became angry for a while, and stepped forward and slapped the middle-aged man on the face.

"Ugh!" The middle-aged man was hit by this slap and fell to the ground, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he curled up on the ground and kept moaning in pain.

"Who is here to be wild and presumptuous?" A low roar sounded from behind.

Suo Biao turned his head, and at some point a few people had already come in behind him, the first one, with a bronze face, a broad forehead and square cheeks, a tan Hunan silk cardigan embroidered with a unicorn beast, an open chest, a copper plate belt, a rigorous bearing, followed by a few young young men, Suo Biao raised his head and lowered his eyebrows to look at the comer, and snorted coldly disdainfully; "The three masters of the Flying Eagle Hall are spreading wild here, how about it?"

When the visitor heard that it was someone from the Flying Eagle Hall, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted; "Ji is the master of the Fenglei Gate in Pucheng County, the first time he came to Chadao, he borrowed the treasure land to present his art, and my Ji visited the master of your hall, and the ward passed your hall." Speaking of this, he glanced at the middle-aged man who was curled up on the ground and groaning, and said with a smile; "These subordinates are reckless and clumsy, which makes the three masters angry, don't be angry with them, let's go to the front desk to watch the play, after the play, Ji will accompany the three masters to drink, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return."

The middle-aged man with the bronze face plate is called Ji Leiting, who is the master of the Fengleimen Gate in Pucheng County, and the Fengleimen is prominent in the rivers and lakes, and it is also one of the famous factions in the Jiangnan martial arts, but in the past ten or twenty years, it has made no achievements in the rivers and lakes, and the land and business of the people are declining and decadent, and the reputation and reputation have plummeted.

Suo Biao was originally a big ruffian bully in the county of Luxun County, arrogant and vicious, arrogant and uninhibited, he didn't take Fengleimen in his eyes somewhat, and at this time, he was in the drunken spirit, and the centipede knife scar on his face couldn't help beating, and he was sad and compassionate; "Suo Mou doesn't care what kind of master you are, my eldest brother has taken a fancy to this ten-mile red play, and immediately asked her to accompany her to drink, everything is easy to say, otherwise-"

Suo Biao's arrogant attitude and threatening tone immediately angered the young strong man beside Ji Leiting, and a young strong man immediately jumped out, and he didn't answer, and stepped forward and punched Suo Biao's chest.

'Bang' a deep sound, the fist hit Suo Biao's chest firmly, Suo Biao stumbled, fell to the ground, he also had a skill, how can people easily knock down, only blame him for being arrogant and arrogant, without a sense of prevention, in this county town, who dares to do anything with him, he fell to the ground and half-supported himself, his right hand quickly touched the holster on his waist.

The young man raised his eyebrows, his eyes were wide open, and he looked angry, and pointed at Suo Biao with his finger in warning; "Three masters, if you dare to pull out a gun, Lao Tzu will immediately abolish your right hand!"

This sentence also worked, Suo Biao had no choice but to remove his right hand, and the orderly hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and took the opportunity to sneak out to the box room on the second floor to report the news.

Yin Kun heard in the box room on the second floor that his third brother was beaten, and he paid it back! As soon as he slapped the table, stood up, and angrily took Yu Zhankui, Zhen Lingshan hurried downstairs, and those orderlies and guards followed closely behind.

They went downstairs and went straight to the backstage with a vigorous attitude, and the people in the hall immediately became in a commotion, I don't know what happened, Lu Caiting had a premonition, and vaguely guessed that it should be involved with the people of Fengleimen, he heard Qi Lianhu say that their master was addicted to a female play, that is, Shili Hong, who sang on stage just now and won the applause of the audience, and just now Suo Biao went to the backstage drunk, probably because of Shili Hong, Feiying Hall and Fengleimen had a conflict, and Lu Caiting and the four of them also hurriedly followed to the backstage.

Yin Kun led people to the door of the backstage actor's dressing room, and he already understood what was going on, and saw the third brother standing there at a glance, pressing his chest with one hand, it is estimated that the injury is not serious, but only a skin injury, and there are many people standing opposite him, the middle-aged man with a bronze face he knows, and he has visited him not long ago, the head of the Fenglei Gate in Pucheng County, Ji Thunder.

At this time, there was an old man wearing a long shirt and horse coat, with a silver beard and white hair, who looked quite decent and reconciled between Suo Biao and Ji Thunder, and when these people saw Yin Kun coming, all their eyes looked at him together.

The old man clenched his fists and saluted Yin Kun; "Lord Tuanza, a little misunderstanding, it's nothing."

Yin Kun said 'um' in his mouth, which was regarded as a return gift, and he yelled at the people of the Thistle Thunder Wind Thunder Gate and asked, "Who dares to hurt my three masters of the Flying Eagle Hall?" ”

"It's me-" A shallow round head, a tiger-like young man stood out from the Wind and Thunder Gate, looking like he dared to do something, and he hugged his fists and saluted; "Qi Lianhu, the 'little leopard head' under the Wind Thunder Gate."

Yin Kun secretly said in his heart; 'Stunned little prickly head. I liked him a little, and was about to open my mouth to scold him, when the thistle thunder on the side hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted; "Master Yin, Head Yin, it's strange that the people are not strict in control, and we will give you the guilt of Daohumility!"
