Chapter Eighty-Five: Reproducing the Classics

"It's not all singing and dancing, there's something worth keeping secret!" Gavin didn't notice Camilla's expression, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"When the time comes, you will be satisfied!" Li Zijun said confidently.

"Preferably so, or you'll have to hand over the position of Head Music Instructor to Teacher Camilla!"

"No problem!"

After Colby's caravan entered Tilbury, both Colby and Camilla noticed that there seemed to be a lot more Monlin soldiers on the street, and Colby became more suspicious the more he looked, and his face showed a nervous expression.

"Colby, Teacher Camilla, do you feel that there are a lot more troops in the city than usual?" Gavin also saw their confusion and asked with a smile.

"General Gavin, it can't be any recent military action in the Monlin Empire, right?" asked Colby tentatively.

"What kind of military action, these are the things that make that kid Edlaide mess with!" Gavin said with a sigh.

At the same time, Gavin's afterglow secretly glanced at Li Zijun, and saw that he only showed a puzzled expression, not at all worried about the panic of being recognized, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Gavin appears in Tilbury this time, ostensibly to greet the various slave caravans, but in fact he has a special mission. Yule ordered him to investigate all the suspicious people who had been in and out of Tilbury during this time, with the aim of apprehending Edlaide, of course.

During this time, Gavin tried his best to investigate, but there were no clues. When he saw the unfamiliar Li Zijun today, of course he would have some associations, but seeing that Li Zijun did not show any unusual performance for his temptation, his mood was inevitably a little low.

"Edlaide, has this Marquis of Dongyu come to the Menglin Empire?" asked Camilla duly. Gavin was stunned by her question, but quickly returned to normal.

"If Edred really came to our Menglin Empire, it would be in vain for those big men of our court to use so many troops to chase him down!" Gavin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Those bigwigs in the court, they all suspect that Edlaide will return to the Dongyu Empire through us, and for their ridiculous suspicions, the military has sent 30,000 troops to Tilbury to assist in the defense. ”

"It's humiliating enough to use tens of thousands of soldiers and horses against a teenager, but just as the army was about to arrive in Tilbury, another piece of news came that turned this matter into an even bigger joke!" Gavin said with a soft snort, his eyes swept over Li Zijun's face again, but he still didn't find anything.

"What does this mean?" asked Colby, a little confused.

"We are here to mobilize the people, but the news from the Dongyu Empire has come back that Edlaide has returned to Wimbledon City half a month ago, and is now going to Beijing to report on his work!"

"It turns out that before the coup d'état in the Tibetan Empire, there was a team of Night Elves who led out of the city of Guayacan, and their goal was to migrate across the Gobi to the Dongyu Empire. They did not hide their whereabouts, so their migration did not attract too many people's attention! Edlaide took advantage of the psychological loophole of human beings, hid in it, and returned to the Dongyu Empire under the nose of the Turk-Hungarian Empire. ”

"When Boyle and Julie heard this, they not only threw everything in their tent to the ground, but also cut off the heads of a dozen scouts in one go!" said this, Gavin's face was full of schadenfreude.

"Now that the Marquis of Edredde has returned to the Dongyu Empire, will this army rush to Tilbury?" Colby's question was actually a bit arrogant, he shouldn't be so keen to inquire about the military operations of the Monlin Empire, which in itself was a very taboo thing.

It's just that Colby is really worried about the purpose behind the move of the Monlin Empire! Although the Monlin Empire and the Tibetan Empire are friends, there has always been no morality and integrity to talk about politics. The Tibetan Empire had just undergone a coup d'état, but the Monlin Empire had suddenly surrendered its troops, and it was difficult for Colby to contain his nervousness.

"The bigwigs in the DPRK and China originally wanted to show their clever calculations, but they didn't expect that a vigorous siege was about to turn into a farce. Of course, they would not be willing to do this, so the siege was changed to a long-distance raid, and this army Zuihou still appeared in Tilbury. However, they will soon be transferred back, even before you go!" Gavin continued to explain to him with a smile as if he didn't notice Colby's rudeness.

Who helped him? Li Zijun repeatedly pondered the answer to this question in his heart while his expression changed with Colby's question. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he still felt that the most likely person was Belinda. Only this woman can roughly guess her whereabouts, and then with the help of Van Lunding, a makeup master, she can use this method in time to help herself.

Li Zijun sighed secretly, he unknowingly owed Belinda a favor again, he didn't know if he could afford to repay Belinda's beauty!

But in any case, this impostor came at a better time! It is for this reason that Tilbury let his guard down. Otherwise, Li Zijun may not even be able to enter Tilbury now.

And even if Li Zijun Zuihou can enter the city, it will be difficult for him to go out again in the face of the heavily guarded Tilbury. At that time, I'm afraid he will really become a caged bird!

Thinking of this, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Belinda for the help he brought.

Not long after Calby's caravan had gone, they came to the door of the inn that Gavin had set up for them.

"Teacher Camilla, Boss Colby, Mr. Nanguo, you have been working hard these days, I won't bother you today, and I will pick up the dust for everyone tomorrow!" Gavin arched his hand to the crowd and turned to leave with his men.

Looking at the back of Gavin leading his men to leave, Li Zijun thought of the 30,000 army he just mentioned!

Because of the height of Li Zijun's position, his perspective is broader and more objective than that of Calby! He was not arrogant enough to think that the Monlin Empire would send 30,000 troops against him, and that Monlin's army should have appeared in Tilbury in order to control the scope of the coup d'état of the Tibetan Empire. Intercepting yourself is just an excuse for the Monlin Empire!

As for Colby's worries, it is even more groundless! No matter how elite the Menglin army is, it is impossible to rely on such tens of thousands of people to attack the Tibetan Empire!

The fact that the Monlin Empire and the Tibetan Empire were able to clear the customs so quickly proves that the two sides have reached an agreement. As Gavin said, there is no need for this army to stay here!

But none of this is important in Li Zijun's mind, and what he is most concerned about now is when the generals in this army will return to the capital of Menglin. If they succeed in piquing their curiosity and using them to promote the Calby caravan, the Calby caravan will surely reap great benefits in this slave trade.

Thinking of this, Li Zijun's heart sketched a preliminary jihua.

Three days later, after the Colby caravan had made all the preparations for the performance, Colby personally invited Gavin to watch the rehearsal.

In order for this performance to be a complete success, Li Zijun mobilized everyone in the caravan to find out all about Gavin's experience.

Soon Li Zijun learned that Gavin originally had a girl he liked, and had promised each other to be with him for a lifetime! But because Yule had already made a marriage contract with the daughter of his old friend Ralph, Zuihou Gavin had to give up his original lover. Although it is said that Gavin's married life has always been happy, Li Zijun firmly believes that this incident will always be the deepest pain in his heart.

Li Zijun tried to impress Gavin in one fell swoop, and he chose the play "Liang Zhu" for Gavin. In order to be able to make this show a hit, he is ready to tear open Gavin's scar in a despicable way!

At the same time, in order to cater to the living habits of the Menglin Empire, Li Zijun also made a certain degree of changes to the details of "Liang Zhu", but the entire storyline was not greatly affected.

On the day of the rehearsal, Gavin was placed right in front of the stage. Although he saw that the stage set was very different from before, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But as the curtain is lifted and the plot deepens, Gavin's expression becomes more and more solemn, and he completely integrates his own experience into the plot.

Recalling the scene of the first meeting with his lover, Gavin showed a faint smile on his face;Thinking of the bits and pieces that the two had experienced together, his face actually showed an emotion of shyness and sweetness intertwined;Seeing the eighteen send-off on the stage, he thought of the scene when the two were separated, and during the kiss, Gavin made a promise to protect each other. It's just that he Zuihou reneged on his promise!

Zhu Yingtai's expression of resistance to marriage made Gavin think of the fact that he fought with his father but was slapped miserably, and that was the first time his father beat him! I don't know weishenme, he retreated at that time, he hated that he was not as strong as Zhu Yingtai on the stage at that time!

His father allowed him to see his lover once, but when he saw her, Gavin didn't know what to say, and his lover drifted away, never to be heard from again.

"Liang Zhu" finally came to the climax, Zhu Yingtai cried and went to the grave, and it was incumbent on him to leave this shijie with Liang Shanbo!

Seeing this scene, Gavin stood up suddenly:

"No!" Gavin stretched out his hands weakly to the stage, but 'Zhu Yingtai' still disappeared into the set, Gavin couldn't hold back any longer, and a series of hot tears fell from his face.

No matter when or where it comes, a classic will always be a classic!

These performers of the Colby caravan completely captured the essence of the repertoire of "Liang Zhu", and they performed the whole story so enchanted that even Li Zijun, the initiator, was completely intoxicated.

When the performance was over, the audience fell into complete silence! Instead, those actors came out one by one, looking at the expressions of the audience, not knowing whether they were acting good or bad!

"It's perfect!Mr. Nanguo, you are a god!" Colby was also in tears at the moment, but he was the first to come to his senses, turned his head and walked to Li Zijun's side and hugged him warmly.

At this time, the rehearsal hall suddenly erupted in earth-shattering applause, and all the people involved stepped forward to hug Li Zijun to celebrate.

"Mr. Nanguo, Colby is right, you are a god!" Gavin Zuihou walked over and sincerely hugged Li Zijun.

Although "Liang Zhu" has not yet been performed, everyone knows that they have succeeded, and no one can resist the shock brought by this story!

The flawlessness of the story, the soulful interpretation of the cast and crew, and the meticulous attention to the music finally recreate the classic in another world!

Gavin kept his promise after he left and didn't tell anyone what he saw, but he always had a happy look on his face whenever he recalled the performance.

It's just that no matter what others asked, Gavin wouldn't say what he saw. The people around Zuihou forced him to be anxious, he only said two words, "poignant!" and every time he said these two words, there was more heartbreaking emotion in his eyes, which made the people around him even more endless curiosity about the legendary "Liang Zhu".

At the same time, Li Zijun and Colby began to take advantage of the situation, and gradually, they succeeded in arousing the curiosity of more than 30,000 soldiers in the city. Anyway, these people don't have much pastime every day, and discussing Colby's performance has become the core topic of their time.

In order to maintain this popularity, Li Zijun also made individual slaves appear in the hotel briefly in his elaborate costumes every once in a while.

These costumes are both revealing and subtle, unrestrained and shy, and at this time, the enthusiasm of more than 30,000 soldiers in the city was completely ignited. As long as nothing happened, the 30,000 soldiers would gather every day near the inn where the caravans of Calby lived, and were glad to see a slave.

All of a sudden, thousands of people are empty!

Originally, since Edlaide had returned to the Dongyu Empire, these 30,000 soldiers could return to the capital as long as they responded to the scene. But just in order to be able to see the slaves of the Colby caravan a few more times, these soldiers managed to stay for three more days, and Zuihou really couldn't find a reason, so they reluctantly left Tilbury.

Looking at the Meng Lin soldiers who were gradually moving away, but still looking back, Li Zijun knew that he had succeeded! But he was not as excited as he imagined, because he was homesick!

In the blink of an eye, Li Zijun has been on the run for more than half a year, and he is really tired! He misses his sister, his subordinates, his lover, and Belinda, who he doesn't know what the relationship between the two is!

"Mr. Nanguo, do you have any good ideas?" Gavin asked as he walked over to Li Zijun's side when he came to the training ground again.

During this time, Gavin would find all sorts of excuses to show up at the hotel almost every day. On the surface, his real purpose was to take the opportunity to watch the caravan's dress rehearsal.

It's just that Li Zijun, Colby and Camilla have formed a tacit understanding, not only do they no longer let Gavin see "Liang Zhu", but even other programs don't let Gavin see it.

This is not just for Gavin alone, Li Zijun wants to use Gavin to whet the appetite of Tilbury and even the entire Monlin Empire.

Gavin had a rough sense of their intentions, but he couldn't resist coming here every day. Zuihou found that he really couldn't see the show anymore, so he had to shift his target and gather around Li Zijun all day long, trying to find out about the show.

Originally, due to his identity, Li Zijun didn't want to have too much contact with Gavin, but Gavin's identity did not allow him to refuse at will, so he could only deal with Gavin indiscriminately every day. It's just about the show, but he didn't say a word!

"I don't have that many ideas? I'm not that diligent! I'm in a daze. Li Zijun said honestly.

"Daze, I think it's true that you're crazy! Don't think I didn't see it, your eyes are full of love, you must be thinking of a woman!" Gavin said with a smile and teased Li Zijun.

Speaking of women, Belinda's figure was the first to jump out of Li Zijun's mind, in her past life and this life, she was her first woman, Li Zijun couldn't help but flash the scene when he was with her!

"It's over, it's over, I think you're a nymphomaniac, do you want me to talk to Colby and arrange a few women for you, or you'll have a nosebleed sooner or later!" Gavin said as he let out a loud voice.

'Nosebleed' was originally a statement by Li Zijun who ridiculed Gavin for peeking at Colby's students all day long, but he didn't expect Gavin to return it to him intact.

"Don't blame me for your thoughts, if I'm not mistaken, you've been coming here all this time, you must have taken a fancy to that girl, just say anything! Li Zijun had long sensed that Gavin was interested in a few slaves, but he had been embarrassed to say it.

"If I want to buy everyone involved in Liang Zhu, do you think Colby will agree?" Gavin looked around and asked in a low voice with Li Zijun in his arms.

"Such a big deal is not something that a small person like me can say casually! You should spare me! You better go to the boss of Colby to discuss, he is the one who can call the shots here!" Li Zijun heard Gavin's words and hurriedly shook his hand.

"I know you can't be the master, but it's always okay to help me talk, right? You also know that after arriving in the capital, it will be difficult for me as a little person to get them back together. I'm worried that I'll never see such a show again!I promise you, it's going to be good for every slave!" Gavin pleaded with a good understanding of Li Zijun and Camilla's weaknesses.

"I can only say a few words for you, as for whether it can be done, I am not sure!" Li Zijun felt that Gavin was indeed a good person, and he was also capable of giving these slaves a good home, and if he really had the heart to complete this transaction, he would be happy to facilitate it.

"Great! I've made an appointment with Colby and Master Camilla, let's go to the restaurant and talk while eating!" Gavin didn't care whether Li Zijun wanted it or not, and pulled him and walked out.

Li Zijun didn't want to leave the hotel in his heart, but when he walked outside the hotel door and saw that Camilla and Colby were indeed invited, he didn't say much and followed Gavin into the carriage.

Gavin invited the three of them to the largest restaurant in Tilbury, where they were served in the most luxurious rooms.

During the banquet, Gavin formally proposed to Colby the idea of buying all the slaves participating in the performance of "Liang Zhu", and Li Zijun originally thought that whether it was because of Gavin's identity or the conditions given by Gavin, Colby would agree with his mouth.

But what surprised both Li Zijun and Camilla was that Colby actually declined Gavin's request, and when they saw Colby's hint, they were not too good to ask directly here, so they all chose to keep their mouths shut.

Gavin ate a 'soft nail' at Colby's place, and of course felt very uncomfortable, and he just sent the three out of the restaurant after the meal. After instructing the carriage to take the three of them back to the hotel, he went back to the restaurant alone.

Lee and Camilla exchanged a look, and they boarded the same carriage behind Colby, and the three of them left the restaurant together.

"Stewart, do you see clearly?" asked Gavin as he returned to the box and looked at Stewart, who was already waiting here, without a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Except for his height, there is hardly anything like him! Edlaide looks thinner on the outside, but this Mr. Nan Guo is slightly stronger, and in addition, Mr. Nan Guo is also very different from Edlaide in terms of temperament. Edlaide stood there like an unsheathed sword, exuding sharpness from top to bottom. But this Mr. Nan Guo is a little dull and sluggish. ”

"What about the sound?"

"I've only heard a few words from Edlaide, and I can't judge by the sound. But Edlaide is only a teenager, and he shouldn't be as full of vicissitudes as Mr. Dongguo!"

"So, don't you think Mr. Nan Guo loves Edlaide?"

"At least I don't think he's!" said Stewart without hesitation.

"I'm really bothering you today!" Gavin looked good on the relationship with Steward, and he patted Steward's shoulder enthusiastically.

Stewart arched his hand towards Gavin and turned to leave the box.

"Young Master, it seems that Edward may have really returned to the Dongyu Empire now!" said an old man who looked like a family member beside Gavin.

"We've checked all the strangers who have entered the city, but we haven't heard anything from Edlaide, is my father's judgment wrong?" Gavin didn't say anything, but he actually had an almost blind admiration for his father. Convincing Yule that he had misjudged was a very difficult thing in itself.

Yule believed that Edlaide would never choose to return directly to the Dongyu Empire from the Gobi! He always firmly believed that Edlaide would definitely enter the Monlin Empire and then return to the Dongyu Empire from Monlin.
