In order to protect the dignitaries and dignitaries who participated in the banquet this time, two hundred royal guards were specially mobilized to guard the surroundings of Ximen Mansion, all of them were iron armor and iron helmets, swords and spears, and even some archers were arranged just in case, and any idle people who entered Ximen Mansion were subject to strict inspection.

In addition to the main gate to greet the officials of the Yan State holding the invitation, the back door of the Ximen Mansion is another entrance, and the miscellaneous people who do miscellaneous, dancing girls, and singing operas all have to enter from here, and they have to go through strict inspections, but this time the head of the guard is Murong He, the leader of the Leopard Battalion.

A team of people pushed two big carts from the street to the back gate of Ximen Mansion, there were nearly 20 people, and many of them were wearing masks of playing tricks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, waving flags, but they were "Hou Lin Opera Garden".

The leader is Boss She of Hou Lin's opera garden, with a bitter face, and a burly man standing beside him, not leaving an inch, sticking very close, just like Boss She's bodyguard.

This person is wearing a strange ghost mask, which looks extremely hideous, baring teeth, eyes like copper bells, and even a small piece of tongue hanging, this kind of mask is also a common prop in the play, used to pretend to be a ghost king.

The team was still some distance away from the far gate, and two guards of the Royal Forest Army had stepped forward to block it, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is it? ”

Boss She took out the invitation card from his arms and put on a smiling face: "We are people from Hou Lin's opera garden, and we are here to celebrate Lord Ximen's birthday tonight, and we are here to sing!" ”

A guard of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward to take the invitation, looked at it, handed it back to Boss She, looked back, and saw that there were more than a dozen people wearing strange masks, frowned, and said, "Take off the masks, let me see clearly, don't mix in irrelevant people." ”

Boss She hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Jun's words are bad, we are all from Hou Lin Opera Garden, and we are also a little famous in Beijing, and it is Lord Ximen who personally invited us to come over to cheer, where will there be irrelevant people." ”

"So what are you going to do with the mask?" The guard held the handle of the knife at his waist and asked coldly.

"This is the rule of our industry, go out at night to perform, wear a mask to ward off evil spirits, and when the time comes, you can get a good fortune when you go on stage." Boss She hurriedly explained: "This military master, we are all people in the Hou Lin Opera Garden, I am the owner of the Opera Garden, and we are all in the capital with a small reputation, this time it was Lord Ximen who personally posted a post to invite us to come over and cheer the scene, lively and lively, the adults in the house may not know when it will be like listening to the play, please let us go in quickly, so as to clean up, don't mistake the adults to listen to the play is serious, do you say this reason?" ”

Another guard had already stepped forward and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we're doing what we're told!" Pointing to the big wooden boxes on the two carts, he said, "Open the box, check it, and then let it go!" ”

Boss She suddenly changed color, and glanced at the masked strong man beside him with a strange look in his eyes, and then said: "There are clothes and props inside, which are used to perform for adults tonight, and there is nothing." ”

"Open it up!" Both guards pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, and the dozen or so Kingsguard guards guarding the back door behind them also looked over with their spears.

Boss She's head broke out in a cold sweat.

The two guards saw Boss She's strange expression and were about to scold, but they heard a voice from behind them: "Why did you only come here now, it's a lot later than the good time." ”

I saw a man in blue brocade come out of the back door, fat and fat, pointed at Boss She and said, "If you delay the adult's business, can you afford it?" Come in with me. ”

Boss She pointed to the guard, as if he had seen a savior, "Butler Ximen, it's not that we don't enter, it's ...... It's these military masters who want to check the prop box, and they're delayed here. ”

The chief butler of Ximen hurriedly came up and reprimanded: "This is the troupe invited by my family, you are here to protect the mansion, not to delay my family's birthday banquet!" ”

The two guards glanced at each other, obviously still quite afraid of this Ximen butler, after all, this is also the small half of the master of Ximen Mansion, he wants to let people into his own house, it is not easy to stop him as a guard, and he waved his hand helplessly: "Let's all go in!" ”

Boss She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take everyone into the house, when he heard another voice sound: "But it's all checked?" The palace is full of important members of the imperial court, and our Imperial Forest Army is responsible for guarding, which is to ensure that no thieves and spies enter the mansion...... If there is no inspection, even if the king of heaven is here, he can't put it in! ”

I saw a group of people walking from the side, and Murong He, who was dressed in military armor, was slowly walking over surrounded by several royal forest guards.

He is wearing armor, and the helmet he wears is like a silver leopard's head, which looks extremely powerful, and Murong He himself is also tall and big, and when he wears this clothes, he can really be regarded as majestic.

Seeing Murong He, even the chief butler of Ximen frowned, but he still stood up straight, looked at Murong He who came over slowly, and said with a smile: "Murong Shen has worked hard!" ”

Murong He smiled and said: "This general was ordered by the cabinet to be in charge of guarding, after all, this banquet is different from the past, and most of the important people in Beijing are present, so there can be no difference." ”

"That's what the Counsellor said." The chief butler of Ximen said with a smile: "It's just that the house has to start a play at any time, but it can't be delayed for too long." ”

Murong He waved his hand and said, "It won't take long to open the box and check it." Then he went to inspect it, and commanded, "Open this box!" ”

The big butler of Ximen frowned, but saw that Murong He had already made a sudden move and grabbed the face of the burly man beside Boss She, this time by surprise, Boss She stood in a daze, not daring to move, and the burly man also stood like a stake, not moving.

With a "zila" sound, Murong He actually grabbed the mask on the big man's face, revealing an extremely terrifying face, which was covered with several scars, and the big man closed his eyes tightly, and after the mask was caught, his brows furrowed.

Murong He was taken aback when he saw the face of the big man, and he couldn't help but take a step back and said coldly, "Why does this person have so many scars on his face?" ”

Before Boss She could answer, Scarface had already said, "Killed the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

"Killing enemies on the battlefield?"

"Yes."

"Which enemy did you kill?" Murong He asked coldly.

"Qingguo people!"

"Qingyan and the two countries, they haven't fought in nearly ten years." Murong He sneered: "You don't seem to have been injured for ten years, right?" ”

Scarface still said very calmly: "Don't you know, although Yanqing has no big war, but on the border, the scout teams of both sides will not go deep into each other's territory one day, and the scout battle is indispensable." ”

"You're a scout?"

"Yes, I returned to my hometown from the Northwest Camp two years ago, and I only had the strength to live, and I happened to be taken by Boss She, doing some strength work in his theater garden, and by the way, I also learned some martial arts, and I was able to make up the numbers on stage." Scarface said slowly.

"You are a scout, you are not an ordinary soldier in the Northwest Battalion, you are discharged from the army and returned to your hometown, with your skills, you should be able to find a good job, why did you fall into the theater to do it?" Murong He smiled, his voice was obviously extremely contemptuous of the play, and Hou Qing and Lin Yuan in the crowd heard it, and they both had a gloomy face.

Scarface said lightly: "When adults look at my face, do you think someone will want me?" ”

Murong He laughed, patted Scarface on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I also used to be a scout in the Northwest Battalion, but that was a very early thing, yes, the scouts of our Northwest Battalion are still a small team of thirteen people, playing a purple flag?" ”

"My lord laughed, this is a secret of the march, and it shouldn't be nonsense, but when my lord asks, I can't help but answer." Scarface said calmly: "I have been in the Northwest Camp for nearly ten years, I have been a scout for three years, and I have always been a team of eight people, and I have never flagged a flag!" ”

Murong He laughed and said, "Yes, I forgot, the scouts of our northwest camp don't fly flags." ”

The guards over there had already opened the first box and searched, and said, "My lord, they are all clothes, and there is nothing suspicious!" ”

Murong He stepped forward to take a look, and was about to give the order to search the second box, when the chief butler Sima had already walked over, held Murong He's hand, and said with a smile: "Murong Shenling, this really can't be delayed any longer, when the time comes, my master will really blame it, I don't have any good fruit to eat." Quietly, he stuffed a silver ticket and put it into Murong He's hand, Murong He looked at it quietly, put it away unconsciously, and said with a smile: "Master Sima, since you are in a hurry, you should have said ......it early!" He waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's all go in!" ”

The big butler Sima hurriedly smiled and said: "Then thank you Murong Shenling, Murong Shenling, the mansion has also set up a table for you, and I will go over and drink two cups." ”

"Going, going." Murong He smiled, watched the troupe enter the back door, and saw that the back of a person was quite familiar, he couldn't help frowning, pondered slightly, and muttered: "How can the back be so similar to that kid?" Hehe, if that kid becomes a joke, it's a big joke! He looked left and right, took out the silver ticket in his sleeve and looked at it, the amount was not small, and he couldn't help but smile proudly.

p woo woo woo, red ticket plus force, rush up, rush up!
