Behind the stage, there was probably a temporary backstage set up by the invited theater troupe. Under the heavy curtains, there were faint shadows of people moving. Hua Xiaogu walked over, not daring to disturb the people inside for a while. After all, it was the Tian Mansion hosting a banquet.
, so all the servants have been busy for a long time, so there are not many servants staying in the theater troupe.
The actors may have been used to it for a long time. They were busy preparing, and they looked well-trained.
Hua Xiaogu was just about to reach out and lift the curtain and ask inside, when he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"Are you ready?"
"Well, the rosin has been spread all over the place. Just go around the pond."
"It won't attract attention, will it?"
"There is a play about burning Red Cliff. They will think it was prepared for the play and won't pay much attention."
"That's fine. We have been preparing for so long. We can't fail this time."
Hua Xiaogu shrank his hand and froze in place.
What does this mean? What rosin, what fire burning Red Cliff? Go around the pond...where to go? Opposite the pond...could it be the Glazed Ting?
Just when Hua Xiaogu was stunned, a person walked out from the curtain with his head lowered. People were coming and going, but this person didn't seem to notice Hua Xiaogu standing not far away, and just kept walking out with his head lowered. Hua Xiaogu
My eyes were fixed on the man's back, and I felt an inexplicable familiarity in my heart.
He was obviously wearing the clothes of a servant of the Tian family, and his tall figure... looked a bit like the servant who delivered ice to the Liuli Courtyard that night.
"Master, what you are seeing is Xiao Zhang, right? Because the cellar under Liuli Ting is relatively thick, he took someone to deliver the ice cubes there earlier..."
Hua Xiaogu suddenly felt excited and shouted in that direction: "Zhang Deyi?"
The figure paused, as if subconsciously looking back.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of Hua Xiaogu. Her eyes widened and her mouth grew slightly - that person was really Zhang Deyi!
However, Zhang Deyi had not been kicked out of the wine shop long ago, so how could he appear in Tian's mansion now?
Zhang Deyi seemed to look back, and then he caught sight of Hua Xiaogu. He didn't pay attention at first, his eyes flashed past Hua Xiaogu, but in just a moment, he immediately woke up and took a steady look at Hua Xiaogu.
, and then immediately lowered his head, hunched his body and disappeared into the crowd.
When Hua Xiaogu saw his expression, he immediately confirmed his thoughts. That person was Zhang Deyi!
After all, Zhang Deyi had only seen her in men's clothing. Now that she was standing here in women's clothing, he was really stunned for a moment.
Zhang Deyi has evil intentions, coupled with the conversation that Hua Xiaogu heard just now...
Is there something wrong with the troupe?
Oops! Magpie!
Hua Xiaogu suddenly stamped her feet, turned around and ran towards Liuli Ting.
If there really were people from Xiaoxiao in Tianfu, then what Zhang Deyi sent to the cellar of Liuliting that night was definitely not ice cubes! No wonder Liuliting was so hot...
By the way, sulfur! The smell of sulfur that the magpie smelled from his hands in the morning was exactly the light yellow dust he touched from the path next to Liuli Courtyard! Sulfur... sulfur! Sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal - this is gunpowder
!Then the "rosin" I heard just now on the edge of the stage was probably the thing that started the fire.
