Chapter 18 Acting in "Beheading Huaxiong" (Second update)
In order to get rid of Xuan Qian's vicious hands, Luo Ning set out early in the morning and drove more than a hundred miles during the day before entering Bashan County.
The counties in this world are very big. Tuo County has a radius of 300 miles. Fortunately, we are not starting from the county seat, otherwise we would not be able to leave the scope of Tuo County in one day.
If you still can't leave Tuo County at night, Xuan Qian will appear.
"Brother." Luo Li grabbed Luo Ning's hand and looked behind the carriage in the direction of Tuo County, "We have left Tuo County, Xuan Qian won't be chasing us, right?"
Luo Ning looked at the sunset gradually sinking under the green mountains, and said calmly: "He can't leave the country to chase him, but he can let others chase him."
"He is the city god and holds power. As long as he is willing to collude with ghosts and monsters, there are many helpers."
Speaking of this, Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly.
Xuan Qian, if you really send people to hunt down...
Luo Li couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. Although my brother is already a monk, if the ghosts sent by Xuan Qian are powerful, how can he deal with them?
But when she saw Luo Ning's expression, she felt surprisingly relieved.
Luo Ning said.
The evil-hearted leader Zhao is indeed an expert. The two children he selected actually have excellent Ling Dao spiritual roots.
However, the silver package dropped from five taels to four taels.
Luo Ning corrected them several times, but the two little guys still called them master, and he had no choice but to admit it.
What is the significance of the elder brother playing the role of Guan Sheng from ancient times?
But Guan Shengnai was a famous general in the late Han Dynasty more than 10,000 years ago, a very long time ago. His plays are not unheard of, but they are extremely rare.
Li Dingguo smiled and said: "Shiqiao Town is a dock market, with a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are also local gangsters entrenched in collecting money. This can be regarded as protecting the town, and the government is happy to have peace of mind."
The five actors came in together, and the leader, the tall and lanky young man Alu, first said:
"Master, just now the shop owner asked me whether the Luo Family Class will perform tomorrow. If so, he will recommend us to go to the Zhou Mansion's hall to perform a birthday drama. However, he will take 10% of the introduction fee."
But "Suppressing Mountain Bandits" hadn't ended yet, and when the martial arts scene of attacking the mountain stronghold was about to begin, a shocking sound of gongs and drums was heard.
The three brothers talked for a while, and Alu came in again to report: "Lord, I just got the news that three servants of the Lanxiang Courtyard died in half a month. It is said that they offended the Lanhua Empress."
"Master." After dinner, the two young actors obediently pressed Luo Ning's shoulders, one at a time, Master.
"Brother," Su Xian said, "There is a town ahead, called Shiqiao Town. How about we fight in the town tonight?"
Luo Ning did not correct him again, "Of course there are superiors and inferiors in the Luo family class, but there are no slaves. You guys are all acting material. You must first be a well-known man before you can perform well."
Luo Ning asked: "Then why didn't you fight?"
Because he was handsome and smart, he was chosen by the previous leader Zhao to join the theater troupe. He signed a contract of prostitution and planned to teach Miao Zi.
Su Xian smiled and said: "The title of Lord is very good."
Luo Ning said: "It's getting late, just as my third brother said. We still need a carriage, and we just have it ready in the town."
Private church meetings are not suitable for earning will power, but may easily attract the attention of some people.
Luo Ning shook his head: "No. A Lu, please remember, our Luo family class likes big events with large crowds, and we won't accept private gatherings of rich people!"
Luo Ning took out a ten-tael piece of silver given by Cai Ji from the stage space, and asked the shop assistant to cut out two taels of silver and put it into the account. It was regarded as three days' worth of food and lodging for ten people and feed for two horses.
The first one to take the stage was the Wang Jiaban, who performed a piece of "Suppression of Mountain Bandits". The Wang Jiaban had a large number of people, and the performance was very lively, and the audience watched with great interest.
Even if it is purely acting, as long as you perform well and earn enough applause, you can also gain a certain amount of will power.
When Su Xian heard this, he had a thought in his mind. If he killed Hua Xiong, he must be playing the role of the martial sage Guan Yu.
If Luo Ning was called class leader again, they felt it was disrespectful to Luo Ning, so they simply called him master.
Luo Ning shook his head: "Local security and appeasement is the responsibility of the government, but it is left to the underworld to take over. It is sad."
The Luo family class rented a small side yard, which was quite quiet.
Another seven taels were spent to purchase the costumes, props, and instruments for the troupe.
"So many horses! I'm afraid there are one or two hundred riders!"
"Entertaining the Gods...in front of a large audience..." Luo Ning thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Let's do another show. The name of the play will be "The Killing of Huaxiong"."
Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to chew for a month, and it is the monthly salary of an armored soldier.
"In order to make amends to Lady Orchid Flower, Lanxiang Yuan will put on some entertainment plays at the gate tomorrow night. Each performance costs five taels of silver, and a troupe has already taken over the job."
I believe that brother, he must have some countermeasures to prevent himself from being put in danger.
"Yes, Lord...Gong." Alu was also quite clever. He almost said the word "human" before he changed it to the word "公".
So the bigger the audience, the better, and the bigger the scene, the better.
With the power of will, he can be strong and protect his sister from being bullied and slaughtered.
Although Ling Daozhu's harvest of wishes requires the gratitude of the group, it is not only about helping people in danger, treating illnesses and averting disasters, but it can also be about gaining the goodwill of the audience.
There was a sea of people around the temporary stage.
He jumped off the carriage, looked at the large town in front of him, and said with a thought: "This town is densely populated, we can stay there for a few days, show off the signboard, and it is best to put on a show."
The next night, the street in front of Lanxiang Courtyard was brightly lit, as bright as day.
"Yes, I'm going to sign up for the show right now. I'm afraid I won't get the business if I'm late." A Lu hurried to Lanxiangyuan after accepting the order.
Why not call Luo Ning the class leader?
Because they called Leader Zhao the leader before, but Leader Zhao abandoned them at the critical moment and almost killed them.
"What do you think? It turns out that the achievements of suppressing the bandits in Jing'an were controlled by Confucianism and Taoism. The soldiers' merits are hard to be rewarded, and their death in battle is hard to bear. Who would be willing to fight tooth and nail to suppress the bandits?"
Brother, it’s quite different.
Not long after, Alu came back with a face full of joy and reported that Lanxiangyuan had taken on this new play that he had never heard of before.
Then, Luo Ning weighed twelve more taels of silver and bought a strong packhorse and a brand-new carriage.
"I'm going to stay in this town for the night, but I want to be on guard against bandits coming down from the mountain to rob. I passed by this place last year and heard that strongmen wanted to attack Shiqiao Town several times."
In addition, the Luo family class has to support a family of ten people and several horses. The expenses are not small, and they also need to make money by acting.
Luo Ning also felt that he was not bad luck, as all seven of them could be used.
A Lu said: "Lord, don't worry, Zhou Cang's character lines, Xiao... I have been thinking about it."
Of course, the willpower gained from purely acting to win the audience's favor is not as much gained from rescuing people in danger and rescuing people, as from treating illnesses and averting disasters.
Su Xian sighed: "Today in Emei County, there are so many gangsters and green forests, and demons and ghosts are becoming more and more rampant, but the county officials do nothing, and the suppression of bandits in Jing'an is just a formality."
Most of the people in the town are here.
Immediately afterwards, someone was heard shouting: "Oh no! Bandits are about to enter the town!"
To put it bluntly, it’s the ancestor who loves to eat, and he is born to be an actor.
Li Dingguo said: "Brother Haojiao knows that there is a Black Fox Mountain dozens of miles away, and a new group of strong men have arrived. They are used to robbing homes, raping and plundering."
The boy is called Fu Guan'er and the girl is called Xi Guan'er. They are both only seven years old, but they have been in the industry for two years.
The Orchid Lady is said to be the patron saint of brothel girls. Today, the Orchid Shrine in Fireworks Willow Lane enshrines this mysterious Orchid Lady.
…
As they talked, they quickly entered the market town and found a large inn called Gu Yangui.
Money is really flowing like water, and it’s hard to go out every day.
"Also, don't call me master or villain. It feels like you are all my slaves."
After saying this and bowing, he turned around and went out to look for work.
He took Luo Jiaban on a tour, why?
Willing power!
In just one evening, I spent more than 20 taels!
Of the fifty taels of silver given by Cai Ji, only half is left.
Li Dingguo nodded and said: "Brother, I have recruited some good supporting roles. With time, I can also play supporting roles."
Huge panic suddenly enveloped me like a dark cloud.
With a "boom", the crowd immediately exploded.
The main actor who was playing the role of killing bandits on the stage was stunned on the spot!
Guess what the plot will be tomorrow? It should be easy to guess.
