He held an exquisite hardcover invitation in his hand and handed it to Huang Feihong, who was smoking a cigar.
"Hmm?" Huang Fei-hung raised his eyebrows and took the invitation from Ling Yunkai. He opened it and couldn't help but frown. The invitation was written in a foreign language.
"Ah Hsuan, come over and take a look at what's written on this invitation," Huang Fei-hung called out to Ye Xuan, who was distributing the herbs, and handed him the invitation.
"Yes, Master!" Ye Xuan put down the herbs in his hand and took the invitation from Huang Fei-hung. He opened it and frowned. "Master, this invitation was sent by the American businessman Jishan. He invites you to watch a play at the theater tomorrow morning at nine o 'clock. Why would this foreign devil invite you to watch a play? From what I saw at the western restaurant that day, I'm afraid that the foreign devil doesn't have any good intentions. "
Huang Fei-hung took two puffs of the cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. His eyes flickered in the hazy smoke, and he said in an unpredictable tone, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, I can't avoid it. Since he invited me with great hospitality, how can I be afraid? "
"Master, but …" Ling Yunkai said with a worried expression.
"There's no need to say more. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!" Huang Fei-hung waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Master, I'll go with you tomorrow," Ye Xuan said with a resolute expression.
Seeing the resolute expression on Ye Xuan's face, Huang Fei-hung thought for a while and finally nodded.
… …
The next day, Ye Xuan woke up early and dressed neatly to the front hall. He saw Thirteenth Aunt also dressed in men's clothing sitting beside Huang Fei-hung.
"Master, Thirteenth Aunt is …" Ye Xuan looked at Thirteenth Aunt's attire and asked Huang Fei-hung.
"Xiao Xuanzi, what's wrong? You can go out and play, but I can't?" Thirteenth Aunt smiled sweetly and stared at Ye Xuan with her big eyes.
Ye Xuan's mouth twitched. He turned to look at Huang Fei-hung and gave Huang Fei-hung a look. He didn't know what Jishan was up to. If Thirteenth Aunt went with him, it might be dangerous.
When Huang Fei-hung saw Ye Xuan looking at him, he smiled helplessly and didn't say anything. It was obvious that he had tacitly agreed to let Thirteenth Aunt go with him. This made Ye Xuan curious. He didn't know what Thirteenth Aunt had said to Huang Fei-hung to make Huang Fei-hung bring her to watch the show even though he knew it might be dangerous.
After exiting Poh Chi Lam, an apprentice called for three palanquins to wait at the entrance according to Huang Fei-hung's instructions. The three of them boarded the palanquins and headed to the theater.
The theater was built on a branch of the Fen River. When they arrived outside the theater, both sides of the wooden path were filled with vendors selling snacks. There were sugarcane, dumplings, melon seeds, and many others. People were coming and going to watch the show. It was very lively.
Perhaps it was because there weren't many entertainment programs in this era, but this kind of show that Ye Xuan couldn't understand had attracted a lot of people.
The three of them alighted from the sedan in front of the theater and walked along the wooden path to the stage that was made of wood and bamboo. There was an open space in front of the stage for the common people to watch the play, while those with status sat in the middle of the open space. The stage was forty to fifty centimeters above the ground, and it was covered with a layer of white cloth, just like the VIP seats in the modern world.
"Eh?" Ye Xuan squinted his eyes when he saw a fat figure sitting on a high seat in front of the theater collecting tickets. That person seemed to be Senior Brother Wang Shirong. He pointed at Huang Fei-hung and said, "Master, look, isn't that Senior Brother?"
"Where?" Huang Fei-hung looked in the direction Ye Xuan pointed, but he didn't see Wang Shirong.
"Eh?" Ye Xuan turned his head and looked again, but he really didn't see Wang Shirong. He could only shake his head and smiled embarrassedly. "Oh, no, maybe I saw wrongly."
"It's okay. Come, let's go in." Huang Fei-hung smiled and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder. He led him and Thirteenth Aunt to the theater in the center.
When the three of them arrived at the theater, Ye Xuan saw that other than a few runners standing with their backs straight, America's Jishan, Britain's General Wigans, and the Admiral were all there. He even saw the old priest on the theater.
When Ye Xuan and Huang Fei-hung walked into the theater, he felt as though someone was watching him. He looked up and saw the bodyguard of Jishan, the American businessman whom he had injured a few days ago. The bodyguard's eyes were filled with malice.
When his eyes met with Ye Xuan's, Tiger's sinister face suddenly revealed a bloodthirsty smile. Seeing this smile, Ye Xuan's right eye twitched. A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Ding! System mission: Protect the old priest who is about to be killed. Mission completion reward: 2000 cultivation points. Mission failure deducts 1000 cultivation points. "
Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard the system suddenly issue a mission. He looked at the old priest who was shaking hands with Jishan. From Ye Xuan's understanding of the system, the system issued a mission that was about to happen. In other words, the old priest was about to be killed. But who would kill a priest who didn't care about fame and fortune?
No, wait. Ye Xuan suddenly noticed that the system said 'kill by mistake.' This meant that the old priest wasn't killed by someone with malicious intent, but was accidentally killed. So who was the murderer?
Tiger's bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's mind.
"Mr. Wigans, please take a seat!" With a face full of smiles, the admiral invited England's General Wiggins to take a seat. Only then did he turn around to face Huang Feihong, who had been sitting for a long time. He cupped his fists and sneered, "Master Huang, I didn't expect the foreigners to invite you to watch a show!"
"Please!" Huang Fei-hung didn't seem to see the sneer on the Admiral's face. He smiled and cupped his fist. He pointed to the chair next to the Admiral.
Everyone took their seats, and the curtains of the stage were slowly pulled open. Gongs and drums sounded, and a Wusheng wearing a blue costume held two long swords and performed from behind the curtain. A person moved around on the stage, waving his sword. Then, a few Wusheng and Wu Dan nervously went on the stage, rolling here and there. It was very lively.
Clap! Clap! Clap! — -Great! — -
The audience applauded and cheered incessantly.
Ye Xuan sat behind Thirteenth Aunt. His seat was at the edge of the theater. Unlike the audience, Ye Xuan had watched countless movies and television dramas. If it wasn't for Thirteenth Aunt telling him that the play today was the famous Legend of the White Snake, he wouldn't have known what play it was. Most of his attention was on the people in the theater.
"Wow! — - "
An uproar suddenly came from below the stage. Aunt 13, who was sitting next to Ye Xuan and looking through a pair of binoculars, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Pork Wing … …"
"The white snake has become a fat snake … …"
"Doesn't that mean we don't have pork to eat?"
"Hahaha! … … "
The audience burst into laughter. Perhaps because Ye Xuan had added his evolution points to dexterity, his eyesight was much better than the average person's. Looking up at the stage, he saw that Wang Shirong's face was pinkish white with powder. He was wearing a costume that seemed to be for the role of the White Snake. However, because he was tall and fat, the costume was tight on his body, revealing clearly visible fat strips. When he heard the audience say that the "White Snake has become a fat snake" and thought of comparing his figure to Zhao Yazhi, who acted in the "New Legend of the White Snake" in the TV series, even with Ye Xuan's heavy heart, he could not help but laugh.
Huang Fei-hung took the binoculars from Thirteenth Aunt's hands and frowned. He said with disappointment, "It's Shirong again!"
"Fuck, you guys can recognize me even like this!"
Wang Shirong's face was filled with unwillingness as he was dragged off the stage, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
The owner of the stage could no longer sit still. He cupped his fists and apologized for a while before the audience calmed down and the show began again.
Dong dong dong, qiang qiang qiang … …
This time, a fighter wearing a blue costume came out first. He held a large flag and waved it a few times. After that, two more fighters ran out from behind the scenes and kept doing somersaults on the stage.
Suddenly, the two hand-to-hand combat students who were doing somersaults on the stage suddenly jumped down from the stage. The two of them swung their hands, and two long rope-like darts shot out from their hands towards Huang Feihong.
"Be careful!" Huang Feihong's eyes widened. First, he pushed away Thirteenth Concubine, who was next to him. Using his hands, he skillfully shook the long ropes that were attached to the darts. His right hand formed a claw and grabbed onto the two ropes. With a tug and a pull, a powerful force penetrated through the two ropes. Two of the short-range fighters who were trying to launch a sneak attack were suddenly pulled back by the sudden force, and they were sent flying into the auditorium.
Everything happened so suddenly that all the audience, including the Admiral and Wigans, stood up. The bailiffs and Wigans's guards raised their guns. Only Ye Xuan, who was secretly observing the situation, noticed that something was amiss. In the entire auditorium, only the American businessman Jishan and his bodyguard Tiger were able to remain calm, as if they already knew what was going to happen.
Ye Xuan also stood up. Suddenly, from the corner of Ye Xuan's eye, he saw a few masked people jump up from the crowd not far away. They were holding flying knives in their hands, as if they were about to throw them forward.
"Get down!" Ye Xuan grabbed Thirteenth Aunt and pushed her down from her chair.
"Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Ah! Ah! — — "
The sound of knives slicing through the air could be heard, and a few knives stabbed into the bellies of a few bailiffs not far from Ye Xuan, causing them to scream in pain.
The auditorium was in chaos, and the audience, who were watching the show excitedly, suddenly panicked. One by one, they rushed out of the auditorium.
Ye Xuan lay on the ground, and when he looked up, he saw Tiger glaring at him and Huang Fei-hung. He wanted to go over, but Jishan shook his head and stopped him.
"Seal the passageway immediately!" The Provincial Commander stood in front of the auditorium and looked at the chaos. He ordered the bailiffs behind him, "Men, protect the Westerners and leave this place safely!"
"Thirteenth Aunt, be careful!" Ye Xuan helped Thirteenth Aunt up, and just as he was about to ask her if she was alright, he suddenly heard the sound of something slicing through the air behind him. Ye Xuan quickly pulled Thirteenth Aunt behind him, and turned around. From the corner of his eye, he saw a masked man slashing at him with a knife. He leaned to the side and used his right leg to kick the masked man's chest, sending him flying.
"Kill! — — "
A few masked men suddenly ran out from all directions, holding long knives and slashing at Huang Fei-hung.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Huang Fei-hung used both his hands and feet, and his movements were extremely fast. He dashed left and right, and every punch and kick hit the enemy's vital points. In a few breaths, the masked men were beaten to the ground.
"Thirteenth Aunt, are you alright?" Ye Xuan looked at Thirteenth Aunt, who was covered in dust, and asked.
"I'm fine!" Thirteenth Aunt shook her head. Seeing that Huang Fei-hung had finished dealing with the enemies, she ran from behind Ye Xuan to Huang Fei-hung's side, and asked worriedly, "Fei-hung, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Huang Fei-hung looked at Thirteenth Aunt, and nodded.
Wigans, who was on the stage, looked at the chaotic crowd and the burly masked men who appeared from time to time. He didn't expect that a dignified general of the British Empire like him would encounter a despicable assassination in this country. Although the assassination wasn't directed at him, he had to teach these natives a lesson, and let them know that the British Empire was sacred and inviolable.
"Sharpshooters!" Wigans shouted to the British soldiers behind him.
"Yes, sir!" A large row of British soldiers behind him shouted.
"Prepare to shoot!" Wigans shouted.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!! A row of seven to eight British soldiers held the long guns in their hands, pulled down the handles, and pointed the muzzles at the unarmed Chinese below.
"Don't shoot, the people below are innocent." Huang Fei-hung looked anxious, spread out his hands and blocked the front of the British soldiers.
Just as Huang Fei-hung stood in front of the Sharpshooters, a man in black saw an opportunity, raised a long knife and slashed at Huang Fei-hung. Huang Fei-hung's footsteps staggered, his body shrank, and punched and kicked the man in black down the stage, his mouth constantly shouting: "Don't shoot!"
"Don't shoot!" Ye Xuan kicked away the masked man and shouted in English.
"Shoot!" Wigans said coldly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! — —
The sound of gunfire was loud, bullets were fired from the barrel, hitting the unarmed ordinary people below, blood splattered, and painful wails resounded throughout the stage.
Looking at the wailing natives below, Wigans felt that they had felt the majesty of the British Empire, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Motherf * cker, you Caucasian devil!" Seeing the pain and struggle of the people below the stage, hearing the wailing of those people, Ye Xuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. With a flick of his right hand, a black Type 54 gun appeared in his hand.
"Warning! Warning! Your actions are about to have a major impact on the world of this movie, please stop immediately, please stop immediately, otherwise it will bring you serious unpredictable consequences in this world! "
"Warning! Warning! Your actions are about to have a major impact on the world of this movie, please stop immediately, please stop immediately … … "
Just as Ye Xuan took out the Type 54 gun, the system in his mind suddenly issued an urgent warning.
"Screw your mother's warning, get out of here I!" Without any hesitation, Ye Xuan pointed the muzzle at Wigans's head and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
