Usually, they did not pay much attention to places like the brothel. Seeing it today, the apostles of the Holy Religion were surprised to find that the play in the brothel was actually so interesting.
"Bai Suzhen, humans and demons cannot love each other. The sea of bitterness is boundless, repent and you will be saved!"
On the stage, a monk wearing a bright yellow kasaya held an alms bowl in his hand and pointed it at the woman in white on the ground.
The woman looked up at the monk and said in a sad voice, "Fahai, I and the official are really in love. Why are you so aggressive?"
"Amitabha …" The monk said the name of Buddha and sighed, "In that case, I have to accept you …"
…
The audience under the stage shook their heads and sighed. What a love between humans and demons. The Legend of the White Snake was a long-lasting play. Even after watching it several times, they could still see some freshness in it.
"You old bald donkey, why did you break them up? I will kill you!"
A young man rushed onto the stage angrily and kicked the monk to the ground. The alms bowl rolled far away.
The monk who was kicked to the ground was stunned. The "White Snake" was stunned. The audience under the stage was stunned. The dozen apostles were also stunned.
The plot of the Legend of the White Snake was wonderful, and the performance of the two actors on the stage was even more vivid. However, it was rare to see someone like this young man who was immersed in the play.
Obviously, he really regarded the actor who played "Fahai" as an old bald donkey who wanted to break up the lovers.
Several strong men hurried onto the stage and walked in the direction of the young man. However, they were stopped by two men who jumped onto the stage.
"Get out of the way, don't interfere with the performance!"
Several strong men were about to come over. However, although the two people were thin and weak, their strength was not small. The few men could not cross their line of defense at all.
That "Fahai" tore off the kasaya on his body. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He said, "I am not Fahai!"
He rubbed his butt, and his heart was really full of mixed feelings. Although he had been kicked, as an actor, what could be more proud of than playing a role to the point where the audience couldn't tell what was inside or outside the play?
"I am sorry, I am sorry …"
The young man finally came to his senses and said awkwardly. He jumped off the stage and said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough …"
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the door.
The few of them exchanged looks and shook their heads. He was the one who was embarrassed, not them. However, the old monk had acted really well. They nearly had the urge to jump up and beat him to death …
Seeing that the young man had already walked out, they hurriedly followed.
"Haha, that young man was really interesting …"
"It's also because of that guy's good acting. He really brought Fahai to life!"
"To be honest, I also wanted to rush up and kick him …"
"Haha, I agree, I agree!"
A burst of laughter came from below the stage. The monk climbed up from the stage and said with a smile, "Thank you for your appreciation. This show is over. The next show, Flooding Jinshan, will begin in 15 minutes …"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, he slowly retreated behind the curtain and took out a small wooden tablet from his bosom. After carefully examining it, his expression suddenly changed.
"Quick, prepare the horses, we're going to the capital!"
At the same time, Li Yi, who had walked out of the brothel, secretly sighed.
The brothels scattered in various places would only hire some people to be responsible for maintaining order. They were all ordinary men, and few of them knew martial arts. The 11 people following him were not easy to deal with.
Moreover, the Taoist Nun was not far away. He knew better than anyone else the strength of a guru. The only thing he could do at the moment was to send a message back.
…
…
"Thank God, my husband is fine."
As Ru Yi held the wooden token in her hand, her worried heart finally calmed down.
A bald man panted and said, "It was not convenient for His Excellency to reveal his identity at that time, so he made this urgent plan. I didn't dare to delay and immediately came here overnight."
"You've worked hard."
"Not at all, not at all." The man smiled and said, "It's His Excellency who has given us performers a living. It's our honor to do something for His Excellency."
"Thank you very much," Ruyi looked at him and turned her head to say, "Uncle Li, go to the cashier and withdraw 1,000 taels of silver …"
The little maid ran out with swollen eyes and said in a panic, "First Miss, Second Miss is missing. She hasn't come back since last night!"
…
The morning assembly had just ended. The courtiers walked out of the main hall with confusion, shock, and doubt on their faces …
It was rare for so many emotions to appear on the faces of hundreds of officials on such a large scale.
Uncle Li of County Li was missing.
Uncle Li, who was the most favored by the emperor in today's court and could influence half of the court, was missing!
His Majesty was in a very bad mood today. The morning assembly that usually lasted at least two hours ended in less than a quarter of an hour. The strangest thing was that an official was kicked by the furious Old General Xue just because he had a little doubt about the calculation school. His Majesty did not say a word and just announced the end of the assembly …
Until now, they still hadn't recovered from this news.
An hour later, in an official's mansion.
"Li Yi is missing. Should we …"
"Forget it. Let's put this matter aside for now. If he was still in the capital, this would be a dispute in the court. But now that he is missing, if we take the opportunity to make a move, I'm afraid it will anger a lot of people. You saw it, Old General Xue in the main hall just now …"
"I also don't think it's appropriate. Whether it's those people in the imperial court or His Majesty, they won't allow anyone to add insult to injury at this time. In my opinion, Li Yi has offended so many people that there's an 80% chance he'll never return. Without him, there's nothing to worry about."
They did not expect the situation to change so quickly. They quickly finalized some things.
"Without Li Yi, there is one less biggest stumbling block in front of the King of Shu."
"Congratulations, congratulations …"
…
…
"Zuimo, what's wrong with you these days? Are you not feeling well?"
Wan Ruoqing looked at Zeng Zuimo, who was sitting on the stone bench in the yard in a daze, and asked worriedly.
"Zuimo?"
"Zuimo?"
Wan Ruoqing walked over and waved her hand in front of her eyes.
"Ah?" Zeng Zuimo came back to her senses and said, "Don't bother. I've asked Xiao Cui to buy breakfast."
Wan Ruoqing was startled. She reached out and touched her forehead, saying, "It's not hot, but you've been really strange these days. I'll ask Yuzhu to get a doctor."
"There's really no need." Zeng Zuimo waved her hand. At this time, Xiao Cui ran in from outside in a panic and said loudly, "Outside, outside, everyone is saying that Li, Li is missing!"
Wan Ruoqing's expression froze, and Zeng Zuimo stood up abruptly.
…
"Cheers!"
In the Drunken Moon Tower, several young men frequently clinked their glasses, their voices full of joy.
"That scourge has finally received retribution!"
"I really hope I never see him again!"
"Yes, if he's going to disappear, it's better to be thorough … Every time I think about this, I can't help but want to laugh!"
Several famous playboys in the capital swept away their gloomy mood and their faces were full of smiles.
"I heard that he has two lovers in Willow Lane?" Li Jianren's face showed an inexplicable smile, and he said, "This time, he can't even protect himself. Let's see who can protect them!"
"Say, even if he can come back and see that those two lovers are already … What will he think?"
There was another burst of laughter. Suddenly, someone looked at the young man in the corner and said, "Zijian, I heard that Miss Zeng, who caused us so much trouble last time, has something to do with your family?"
Ceng Zijian shook his head and said, "What Miss Zeng? I don't know. "
Li Jianren laughed and gritted his teeth, "If that's the case, then I won't be polite …"
At the same time, in a courtyard somewhere in the capital, a man with thin cheeks and wearing a blue robe looked at the dozens of people in the courtyard and said, "You are all the elites of the Holy Religion left in the capital. The Empress has ordered us to lie low and endure. However, although the Empress has left the capital, there is still her incarnation in the capital. Since we have entered the Holy Religion, it is our duty to protect the Empress and strengthen the Holy Religion …"
