My players are all acting

Chapter 58 The Long Night

night.

Lanterns hung high in the theater, brightly lit.

The previously tidy and orderly theater has been occupied by Dongyi thieves, and the table is full of wine and meat. These Dongyi thieves shouted loudly while drinking, and the whole theater was shrouded in a smoky atmosphere.

The scholar who stopped the wanderer was also holding a jug of wine at this time, drunk, writing and chanting on the white wall of the theater.

"The sea fog opens and closes at dawn, and the sea breeze returns to the cold in spring.

"The old face is happy with thin wine, and the old eyes are proud and frightened.

"People in Congshi are far away, and Pingsha is a wide road.

"Ming Chaoqing is better, flying green and splashing saddle!"

After reciting the poem, he threw the pen away, turned his head to look at a handsome man about thirty years old in Chinese clothes, and asked quite proudly: "Mr. Wang, do you think my poem is well written?" how?"

At this time, Zhao Haiping was also in the theater, playing a guest role as a boy in the tavern, serving wine and food to these Dongyi thieves.

Although he really wanted to take the knife from these drunken Dongyi bandits and try to stab the general to death, but after a moment of turmoil in his heart, he temporarily suppressed this urge.

Because he knew in his heart that the probability of success of this kind of behavior was too low.

Although these Dongyi thieves had already drunk and looked flushed and excited, they were actually still very vigilant. In particular, all of their swords are attached to their bodies, so it is very difficult to snatch them.

Even if they grab it, other barbarians will kill themselves instantly.

Therefore, Zhao Haiping resisted the urge to be reckless in his heart, and repeatedly reminded himself that this time he was just a member of the troupe, and what he got was not a combat talent, so he should not act rashly. It is better to experience the entire dungeon process from beginning to end first. .

Of course, it was said that he took the identity of a troupe member, but in fact Zhao Haiping found that the condition of this body was not bad.

It is weaker than the civilian husband in terms of strength, but it is much better in terms of physical coordination, and it even seems to have certain moves and skills.

Zhao Haiping speculates that this may be because troupe members perform on stage and have similar requirements for martial arts, so they have been trained since childhood. Although they lack strength, they are not completely incapable of fighting.

The scholar who was writing a poem on the theater wall was the one who stopped the wanderer and objectively saved Zhao Haiping's life.

But Zhao Haiping obviously wouldn't feel any gratitude to him, because this person is obviously a traitor!

The traitor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, is there nothing wrong with calling it a traitor?

His status should be regarded as a dog-headed military advisor among this group of Dongyi bandits. Although these thieves, including Luke, looked down on him, the Dongyi general seemed to take his opinion seriously.

As for the "Mr. Wang" who was forced to watch the scholar write a poem, he was obviously Wang Jinghui who was mentioned at the entrance of the theater.

This man named Wang Jinghui should be a well-known talent with a high status, but it was just that the bandits broke into the theater, so he was naturally detained.

Wang Jinghui looked at the poem inscribed by the scholar on the white wall, and said calmly: "This poem should be adapted from "On the Forest Farm Road" written by a poet of the Qi Dynasty. , your poem is indeed better."

The scholar couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect my poems to be recognized by Mr. Wang. I am so lucky!"

Wang Jinghui paused, and continued: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet.

"Although the poem is good, it's a pity that the artistic conception is completely wrong.

"You colluded with thieves and slaughtered the people of our Dasheng Dynasty. You are a thief if you are old and not dead! What kind of face do you have to write poems like 'Old eyes are proud and frightened' and 'Flying emeralds and splashing saddles'!"

The scholar's face darkened in an instant. Although the two thieves next to him couldn't understand what Wang Jinghui was saying, they could roughly tell from his tone that they also changed color suddenly, and held the handle of the Yi knife with their right hands.

But the scholar waved his hand and stopped the two thieves.

"Being the king and defeating the enemy is the principle since ancient times! I have read the books of sages and sages for more than 20 years, and I have a passion for nothing, but how does this imperial court treat me!

"Mr. Wang, you are successful and high-spirited, so naturally you don't realize this.

"But it's okay, Mr. Wang, now I'm a guest, and you're a prisoner. I'd like to see how long your literati style can last!

"Put him in the cellar! Break his finger every hour! When is he willing to persuade Su Xianjun to take the stage, and when will he be released!"

A bandit took Wang Jinghui down.

Next to him, a tall and strong man with the paint on his face that hadn't been washed off hurriedly stepped forward and smiled apologetically: "Military master, calm down, this Wang Jinghui doesn't know the general idea, please be calm and calm, I think he and Su Xianjun will get along soon. Figured it out."

The scholar took another sip of wine: "Okay, Boss Yang, you are the one who knows the current affairs and is a hero. I just ask you to persuade Boss Su again. If you don't hear the show tonight, tomorrow morning, this small county will , I'm afraid I'm going to die!"

The tall man known as Boss Yang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, don't worry, military advisor, I'll go and persuade him right away."

Boss Yang withdrew from the theater and returned to the backstage, and Zhao Haiping also took the opportunity of serving new food and drinks to come backstage together.

At this time, compared to the yelling and having fun of the Dongyi thieves in the theater, there was a dead silence in the backstage, and the expressions on the faces of the people were either panic or panic, or mixed with grief and anger.

Boss Yang went straight to the door of a room and knocked lightly.

"Xianjun! The scholar said that if we don't hear the show tonight, the whole county will be wiped out in the morning!

"Now the magistrate of Tang County has died in battle, and the whereabouts of the Xiangyong led by Gao Ze are also missing. The wealth and lives of the people in the city are all in your mind!

"You can settle everything once and for all, but what are the people in the city doing?"

Before he finished speaking, he was scolded by the people in the room.

"Yang Xinyan! Stop bluffing me with the common people! To put it bluntly, it's just greed for life and fear of death!

"I really didn't expect that you played the role of the overlord of Chu who would rather die than submit on the stage, how could you kneel faster than anyone else in the face of righteousness!

"Go and tell those thieves, thieves who are as low as dogs, don't deserve to listen to my drama!"

Boss Yang sighed silently and kept shaking his head.

As for the rest of the troupe, there was absolutely no room to intervene at this time, they could only tremble and be at a loss.

After going back and forth several times, Zhao Haiping has roughly figured out the current situation.

After the Dongyi thieves entered the city, they did not start burning, killing and looting immediately, but took over the theater first. Because the scholar and the Dongyi general wanted to listen to these two famous actors.

Yang Xinyan and Su Xianjun are the two bosses of this troupe, and the chorus "Farewell My Concubine" is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Farewell My Concubine" is about the deeds of the last years of the Great Chu Dynasty. There are many heroic deeds in the troubled times at the turn of Chu and Wei. The Great Wei who replaced the Great Chu was disappointing, so many people feel sorry for it. It became a famous paragraph.

It's just that the overlord knelt down first when Dongyi thieves came to the door.

By the way, I also learned the name of the very skilled Xiangyong who fought with the magistrate of Tang before. His name is Gao Ze, and his whereabouts are unknown after the battle with the bandits.

At this time, all the people in the troupe were in panic, and the long night was long, with their hearts hanging in their throats.

Although these Dongyi thieves are only occupying the theater and not killing, it seems that as long as Yang Xinyan and Su Xianjun sing for them, they can save the people in the city, but who can guarantee?

Maybe tomorrow morning, these thieves will go on a killing spree, slaughtering the entire county and then fleeing.

Zhao Haiping is inevitably a little impatient.

Because after changing his identity, he still has no idea how to pass the level!

While serving tea and pouring water, he also secretly observed the thieves occupying the theater. After the battle with Tang County Magistrate's personal soldiers and Xiangyong, more than 30 of the 100 bandit bandits died, and now there are 70 or 80 left, and a small half of them are injured.

Moreover, after the previous battles, their combat effectiveness has also declined.

Therefore, these thieves occupied the theater and did not burn, kill and loot immediately. On the one hand, it may be because the generals and scholars wanted to listen to the music, but on the other hand, they may also want to take this opportunity to rest their spirits and let the people in the county have a fluke mentality. I won't go all out with them to fight to the death.

But even so, it is still difficult to wipe out these thieves.

Because the power Zhao Haiping can rely on now, even Tang County Magistrate's personal soldiers are gone!
