CH 259

It seemed that to show the intensity of the battlefield, the red-faced general, surrounded by a few soldiers, jumped directly onto the three-legged table and kept spinning on the edge.

"Clang clang clang clang~" accompanied by music, the spin lasted for several minutes, and he was still standing on the three-legged table, with remarkable skill.

The scene on the stage even surprised Li Huowang, "Do the requirements for performing in the Great Liang country's opera have to be this high?"

"Clang~ Clang~ Tai~" The general on the stage did a backflip and landed steadily.

With the coordination of the surrounding soldiers, the general struck a pose, suddenly appeared, and the audience below cheered and applauded.

This applause also included Li Huowang's, and he realized that he was wrong. He had never thought that there was such a big difference between singing and performing.

Even someone like him who didn't know much about opera could see the brilliance in it.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Just as Li Huowang was watching with fascination, the general on the stage suddenly stood up straight, and the long feathers of the two rooster tails on top of his head began to shake and tremble with his head. "Hmm~? Who is it~?"

As soon as the general finished speaking, the lantern on the stage suddenly went out, and everything around became pitch black.

Just as Li Huowang was starting to feel a little suspicious, the lantern suddenly lit up again, but this time the light inside was not red, but a strange green.

Another person suddenly appeared on the stage, which was previously occupied only by the general.

It was a woman, with her back to everyone else. The long sleeves in her hands were shaking like a waterfall.

The music had stopped, and the only sound on the stage was heavy breathing.

"Hehe..." a creepy whisper suddenly sounded in Li Huowang's ear, and he was instantly covered in goosebumps.

"What the hell is this! Can't this place be quiet for a moment!" Li Huowang's expression turned fierce as he held his sword with one hand and stepped on the tiles under his feet, ready to rush onto the stage.

At this moment, Bai Lingmiao grabbed him tightly and anxiously shouted, "Senior Brother Li, it's fake! It's just a performance!"

"Fake??" Li Huowang looked at the general on the stage, who was circling the woman with caution, with a hesitant expression.

Suddenly, the woman turned her head, and at the same time, the man on the stage with a black face and two coins stuck to his cheeks walked up, shaking his head and swaying. "Woo hahaha~~~"Sharp fangs spiraled in and out of Li Huowang's mouth, accompanied by the piercing sound of gongs. Sparks of fire spewed out of his mouth, particularly conspicuous in the pitch-black night.

"Hehe." Bai Lingmiao heard Li Huowang's laughter and turned her head to look at him in the darkness with some confusion. "Senior Li, why are you laughing? Isn't this play good?"

"It's good. I'm not laughing at the performance on stage, I'm laughing at Master Lv. His plan has failed. With his mediocre skills, he won't be able to earn a penny in Daliang." Li Huowang looked at Lv Zhuangyuan in the distance, whose face was getting uglier by the minute.

"Speaking of which, Daliang is different from other places. Whether it's material or spiritual enjoyment, it's much better than other places. It's truly the strongest place."

That night, everyone enjoyed themselves, including Li Huowang.

The troupe also received enough reward money. The reason they chose to perform at this time was because it was harvest season, and the landlords had money to spare.

Lv Zhuangyuan returned in a daze. He had lost his previous confidence, and his pride as an actor who had been performing for decades was shattered.

Unlike the other people who were discussing the play fiercely, he and his two sons walked into the room and sat in the corner without saying a word.

"Dad, they can spit out sparks from their mouths! How can we compare?" Lv Xiucai broke the silence.

"Why can't we compare? The old actor at the end didn't sing as well as I did!" Lv Zhuangyuan argued with a stiff neck.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he deflated like a deflated balloon. He could show off, but it couldn't make up for the gap in strength between the troupes.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and turned his back to the corner. Bai Lingmiao, who was spreading the quilt, walked over to him.

"Uh, can I ask you something, Miss Bai? Like the play we saw today, can all the troupes in Daliang perform it?"

"Yeah, and not just this one. They can perform several kinds of plays, and today's play wasn't even the most impressive!" Bai Lingmiao replied.

Lv Zhuangyuan hunched his back even deeper and walked unsteadily towards his two useless sons.

That night, Lv Zhuangyuan couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, thinking about the situation. "If Lv's troupe can't set up the stage, then I'll be a freeloader again?"

But he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night. When the rooster crowed in the village, Lv Xiucai, who woke up early, saw a grinning dog hugging Hong'er and coming out of a small grove.

The two of them affectionately snuggled together, joking with each other.

When the dog saw Lv Xiucai drawing water from the well, his eyes lit up. After sending Hong'er away, he walked towards him with a smug look on his face.

"Hey hey hey~ do you know what I did last night? Hey hey hey~"

Lv Xiucai didn't say a word and walked towards the house with the bucket of water. But the dog wouldn't let him go, and kept talking.

"Hey~ that feeling, hey~ that feeling~ hey hey hey~"

With his sneaky expression, he looked even more obscene.
