Xu Zhiqiong said goodbye to the prince and turned around to go to Shifang Goulan.
Qian Limu was sitting in the hall, looking at the stage with a drunken expression.
Xu Zhiqiong poured a glass of wine for Qian Limu: "Brother Qian, the people in the private room upstairs have left. Shouldn't we do something serious?"
"Brother, when did you come?" Qian Limu picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. "Which private room are you talking about? Do I know him? I'm here to watch a show, not to find someone.
"
This guy is still pretending to be Hu Tu.
"Brother, I'll watch this show later, and go to the Punishment Department with my brother."
Qian Limu smiled and said: "Which Punishment Department are you going to? Yonglu Punishment Department? Are you looking for Li Muliang to scold me?"
"If Li Changshi scolds you, brother, I will fuck him with you! But for the matter I discussed with you before, I have to ask Li Changshi to help!"
Qian Limu was startled: "Has the time come?"
"Almost there!"
Qian Limu looked at the stage with some reluctance: "How about waiting a little longer? There is only one last scene left in the play. Then fifty dancers and four singers will appear together, all dressed in cigarettes!"
"It's just smoke!" Xu Zhiqiong looked surprised.
"Brother, can I still lie to you?"
"Brother, after seeing these fifty-odd pieces of smoke, can things be done? If things can be done, I will stay here with you all night."
Xu Zhiqiong's smile did not change. He knew that Qian Limu was not here to see cigarettes. After watching them for so many days, he was tired of seeing all kinds of cigarettes.
He didn't want to see Li Muliang.
He is not afraid of being scolded, he is afraid of not getting things done!
Whether it works or not, you have to try.
Qian Limu stood up and sighed: "Brother, if he refuses to take action, I will fight to the death with you!"
…
When he arrived at Changshi's Mansion, Li Muliang met Qian Limu and sneered: "Isn't this Qian Dazhonglang? This is a rare visitor. The last time he saw Qian Dazhonglang come to the Punishment Department was the day Shifang Goulan closed its business.
"
Qian Limu said with a smile: "It was an unlucky day. Water leaked from the railings in all directions and burned down the two stages. We can't even close down!"
"That's right!" Li Muliang nodded and said, "It's a pity that Qian Zhonglang showed up that day. I was really worried that Qian Dazhonglang died in the fire!"
Qian Limu smiled and said: "How can I be willing to die? If I die, who will give you this last journey!"
The two of them exchanged words and sarcastic remarks with each other. When the atmosphere was over, Xu Zhiqiong began to get down to business: "Li Changshi, it's time to reply to the business I discussed with you two days ago."
Li Muliang pondered for a moment and said, "It turns out it's because of this, this business. I've thought about it a lot, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Xu Zhiqiong was silent, Qian Limu said with a smile: "Did you hear that, Li Da Changshi was afraid, and said that he wanted to run the evil punishment department well, but when it came time to take action, he didn't dare to take action."
Li Muliang waved his hands and said: "It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that in doing business, you have to look at the cost first and then the interest. After calculating the profit per dollar, I always feel that it's not worth it. I do have a business.
, you two, please think carefully."
Li Muliang unfolded a map and said to the two of them: "Just a moment's notice, now the war in the north is going smoothly. The prince has captured three provinces.
A province of Tunu is equivalent to two states of Daxuan, Yongzhou and Luzhou plus the boundaries of three provinces, which is equivalent to eight states. This is enough to constitute a country.
Although Ma Zhonglang entered Taoism late, he has already reached the sixth rank. Not to mention Brother Qian, he is an old Zhonglang.
Everyone must understand the rules of our Taoist sect: one state has one long history, three states have one great man, one country has one tomb chief.
Since both of you are so close to Chang Shi, don't you want to take this opportunity to do something big?"
Xu Zhiqiong really didn't know much about the rules of the upper echelons of the Taoist sect. One state has one chief history, three states have one official, and one country has one chief minister. This was the first time he had heard of this rule.
But he understood what Li Muliang meant.
Li Muliang is waiting for the prince to proclaim himself emperor.
He really wanted to do something big, but it wasn't just as simple as revitalizing the Evil Punishment Department. He was going to kill the dictatorship.
But if you want to be a tomb master, you have to be promoted to the third level first.
Li Muliang is only at the fifth level, is it too early to think about these things now?
Li Muliang looked at Xu Zhiqiong and Qian Limu and said: "To be honest, I am only half a step away from the fourth grade. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these two people."
, isn’t this business worth doing?”
Xu Zhiqiong smacked his lips: "What do you want me to say?"
"What's the matter? Ma Zhonglang doesn't want to be the chief historian?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "My head is hung on my merits, my life is in the Taoist sect, and I go back and forth on the line of life and death, just to compete for a point of cultivation. Who doesn't want such a great fortune?
But Ma is self-aware that Li Changshi’s great ambitions cannot be matched by Ma. Since Li Changshi didn’t want to do the business Ma had mentioned before, Ma left now.”
Xu Zhiqiong didn't talk nonsense and walked out. Qian Limu cupped his fists at Li Muliang and said, "Li Changshi, I'm going to leave first."
Li Muliang said solemnly: "Qian Zhonglang, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the hook bar!" Qian Limu smiled, "I'm just a bad person, wait until I die in the hook bar."
Qian Limu left Chang Shi's Mansion and caught up with Xu Zhiqiong: "Brother, don't lose heart. Li Muliang will naturally take action when the time comes."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Brother Qian, do you have any way to persuade him?"
"If you don't agree, Li Muliang is very ambitious, but what's the use of being ambitious? He has to look at his own assets. He has no one under his command, so everything he says will be in vain. When the time comes, please give me the news!"
…
Xu Zhiqiong turned around and went to the Capital Punishment Department. When he arrived at Chang Shi's Mansion, he summoned Lu Yanyou with the Order to Punish Evil Sons.
Lu Yanyou did not walk on stilts today. It would be inconvenient to fight on stilts. He planned to take action in the capital first to collect a wave of evildoers.
"You came back just in time. This bastard Gongsun Wen wants to break the kneecaps of our Xuan people. I have to fight him to the end no matter what."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "He has a third-level cultivation, how can you compete with him?"
Lu Yanyou took out various magic weapons from Chang Shi's Mansion: "Even if I can't defeat him, I will attack the ministers of Sheng'en Pavilion first! None of them are good!"
"Don't mess around! Do you want to pay for all the criminal punishment departments in the capital? Someone will deal with Gongsun Wen, let's take care of our own business first."
Lu Yanyou put down the magic weapon and said, "Is the time coming?"
"It's almost over. After this business trip, your sins have almost been paid off. What does Doctor Bai say?"
Lu Yanyou said: "I have discussed it with Doctor Bai, but he has not responded yet."
"I'll ask again."
Xu Zhiqiong went to Shanshan Shangsi, and when he got to the creek, he saw Bai Yueshan playing the piano.
"Doctor Bai," Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and saluted, "the reason for my rash visit today is..."
Bai Yueshan pressed the strings, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "I know what your purpose is here. I will dance to three songs. If you can guess the tune, I will promise you!"
After all, this is still the rule.
Bai Yueshan immediately started dancing, while Xu Zhiqiong watched quietly.
The first song is very vigorous, with heavy dance steps and windy sleeves. Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time and said: "This dance is full of chilling atmosphere and has the wind of the previous dynasty. Judging from the shape of the dance, it is a tribute to the battlefield of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty."
Regarding martial arts, if you look at Banyan, it should be the battle song "Broken Formation"!"
Bai Yueshan nodded and said: "Ma Zhonglang, you have made a lot of progress. You answered the first song correctly. Let's see Bai dance another song!"
Xu Zhiqiong has indeed grown a lot. In order to adapt to Bai Yueshan's quirks, he crammed in a lot of knowledge about Qupai in Goulan.
Bai Yueshan's second dance is very enchanting, with light steps, nimble waist branches, and affectionate movements.
This dance is difficult to judge because Bai Yueshan's steps are too brisk, making it difficult for Xu Zhiqiong to grasp the rhythm.
If we analyze it from the perspective of artistic conception, this song has the meaning of love between men and women. Among Daxuan's lyrics, there are countless lyrics that directly express love, and it is impossible to judge.
Xu Zhiqiong watched for a long time and gradually noticed Bai Yueshan's unique footsteps.
Regardless of the superficiality, the dance steps in this song are mostly broken steps, with fewer forward and backward steps, but very intensive lateral steps.
Moving sideways in small steps...like a bird moving sideways on a branch.
Xu Zhiqiong thought of Cipai, a pair of flat eyes, they are really a match!
"This song should be "Die Lian Hua"!"
Bai Yueshan was startled: "How did you see it?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The original name of "Butterfly Loves Flowers" is "Magpie Stepping on the Branch". If you look at Doctor Bai's footsteps, the steps of the magpie stepping on the branch are so vivid!"
Bai Yueshan praised you and said: "Good insight, Brother Ma. It's hard to find a true friend in the world, but I didn't misjudge you. Let's watch the third song!"
The third song is very difficult to guess. The steps are strong and windy, the figure is soft and delicate, and the gestures are sad and sad. No matter the artistic conception, performance or dance posture, there is a strong sense of disharmony, just like a woman on the battlefield, wearing a uniform
Gossamer, with tears hanging down her face, her pulse full of emotion, fighting with the enemy.
What word tag is this?
When the song ended, Xu Zhiqiong was stunned.
Bai Yueshan sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Ma is still a little short of heat. Let's wait for a while before coming back!"
How can Xu Zhiqiong wait? He must have an answer today.
"Doctor Bai, Xu guessed that this song should be an ancient song from the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Da Xia Dynasty?" Bai Yueshan was startled, "Please tell me carefully!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "There was a dancing girl in Daxia who accompanied her husband to fight in front of the battle. After the fierce battle, her husband disappeared. The dancing girl was heartbroken and danced on the battlefield. While dancing, she looked at her husband's figure in front of the battle.
, and looked back and forth eight times, hence the name, Xia Ji Eight Views!"
"Shuzi is rude!" Bai Yueshan said angrily, "This song was composed by me on the spur of the moment!"
impromptu?
Isn't that Xia Ji Ba Tiao?
Xu Zhiqiong answered correctly.
Bai Yueshan sighed: "For the sake of rules, this cannot be done, but for the sake of heaven, it must be done! No matter who it is, no one can break Xuanren's kneecaps! You, a sixth-grade middle-ranking man, have such an awareness, I
If you push away three or four, you will fail to cultivate your body!"
After saying that, Bai Yueshan took off a string and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong: "When the time comes, break the string."
Xu Zhiqiong took the strings and listened to Bai Yueshan say: "In the capital, the aura of domineering has risen sharply. A high-quality cultivator must have arrived."
A domineering and high-quality cultivator, second brother?
Why did he return to the capital?
Bai Yueshan said: "If you want to save him, you have to do it early. Liang Daguan's family has set up a dragnet and is waiting for him!"
