Chapter 177: The White Lotus Cultists Appear Again
The comfortable Spring Festival is about to pass, and the regular life makes Li Guolou look much stronger. On the 14th of the first lunar month, the brothers of Tianzihao gathered together and were invited to the site of Yipintang.
At noon, Li Guolou took three lovers, a girlfriend and his daughter to the overpass. From the moment they jumped out of the carriage, Li Guolou and his party attracted the attention of passers-by.
Chen Xiangfang looked like a big sister and took out her gold watch and said: "Xiaolou, I will take them to play. We have set a time to pick you up at six o'clock in the evening. You are not allowed to drink. I want to check."
Li Guolou raised his hat and bowed coolly: "The young man is gone, so don't get separated. Be humble to each other and don't quarrel and make people laugh."
Xie Xiuzhu said lightly and angrily: "Go! Where did we have a quarrel? We were drunk and happy. Don't bring another singer back. We will fall out."
Li Guolou quickly turned around and stopped talking. There is no taboo for a man and a woman to become an old married couple. Talking such nonsense on the street makes people laugh.
Zhao Yao, the gang leader of Yipintang, entertained friends from the martial arts world in "Yuejia Magic Class". Hundreds of people came to the venue. Entertaining VIP friends in the theater troupe is a special feature of the Spring Festival. Everyone ate and watched, which could kill half a day.
, otherwise these people would be bored to death if they stayed together.
There is not only a magic show on the stage, but also other troupes including singers, jugglers, drummers, and allegro players. The entire stage has not stopped since noon.
The Jianghu brothers abide by the rules. As soon as the gong sounds, everyone stops talking and watches the performance on the stage. During the break, there is a constant buzzing in the ears like sparrows.
Yue Zhaixian no longer performs her specialty magic "water escape technique", and instead performs this event with her eldest brother. Although Yue Feixian is shirtless and is a man, his appearance is not as good as before, but the tense and exciting atmosphere makes people breathless.
, Yue Feixian struggled in the water tank for four minutes before she was able to untie the iron shackles and ropes and escape from the water tank. The whole audience was silent. She exclaimed that she had met a heavenly being, and the applause and cheers were loud.
Zhao Yao's eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at the stage without blinking and said, "Third brother, tell me the truth. Is this true?"
Li Guolou had an embarrassed look on his face. He had been teased so many times about his moon-picking fairy thing. Among the actors, the diva was the top one and was worth a lot of money. The red diva was a valuable commodity. The female opera singers in the juggling troupe were not valuable and belonged to the
The lowest actor is worthless.
The singers are surrounded by women, and there are many women who are not prostitutes. There are men and women in this kind of juggling troupe, and it is common for men and women to live together. Everyone knows what the Moon Picking Fairy is. Li Guolou has a new one
The name "little plum who collects scraps" distinguishes him from the "little plum" in the palace.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Master Zhao, how can I know whether it is true or not? Aren't we watching from below?"
Next to him, Liu Huan, the third master of Yipintang, said with a sly smile: "Third brother, you are different. You are not a detective. You know how to exploit loopholes."
The hall burst into laughter, and Li Guolou wished he had a hole in the ground for him to dig into.
As soon as the wonderful show "Escape from the Water" ended, the Moon Picking Fairy walked off the stage with a copper plate to give the reward. It was lively now, and the laughter burst out again. The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dong-ding-ding-dong-ding-dong" could not be heard, and the Moon-picking Fairy knew the wood.
She felt very proud that so many brothers from the martial arts world were supporting her, allowing her to earn a lot of gold and silver.
Amid the cheers, Li Guolou handed Yue Zhaixian a silver ingot, and Yue Zhaixian glanced at Li Guolou with shyness.
"Not enough!" There were loud cheers from all around.
Li Guolou placed three silver ingots in a row on the copper plate, but the people around him were still saying, "Not enough! We have to look at the etiquette of Westerners!"
In the midst of the crowd's booing, Li Guolou held Yue Zhaixian in his arms, as is the etiquette of meeting a Westerner. There were cheers and applause, and Yue Zhaixian didn't even shy away from the copper plate and fled back to the backstage.
Li Guolou sat down dejectedly and sighed: "I will never marry a little wife again. I am so annoyed by the number of wives at home. Every day I have to figure out how many words to say to this one and how many words to say to the other.
You can't treat one person favorably or another, it's more tiring than meeting a superior, I really miss the good old days."
"Hey!" Wu Defu also sighed next to him. It makes sense for a good man to avoid women. He has also experienced the consequences of having too many women.
"You have broken the rules and held women in your hands. You must also have official authority at home. Let women kneel at your feet like sitting in the hall. You can have sex with whomever you want. If you don't like a woman, let her disappear.
In front of you, you will be at peace at home. Do you understand? Bangchui!" Wu Defu taught by words and deeds, and revealed the true scriptures.
Li Guolou grabbed the opportunity and said: "Second brother, you are doing this in Japan. We are now learning from Westerners to respect women."
Wu Defu retorted: "You have only half-learned it. Westerners advocate monogamy, why don't you learn it?"
The two began to have a verbal dispute. Li Guolou was very reasonable. Western women also came to the Qing Empire to find him and were willing to be concubines. He was the hot potato, a newbie with progressive ideas who was forced to accept the system of three wives and four concubines.
New humanity.
The gong sounded, the actors came on stage to perform, and the people in the venue stopped whispering and focused their eyes on the stage.
A short Choudan with white powder on his face stood on stilts and swung three times and made funny moves, making everyone in the venue flip over. The short Choudan threw three burning fire knives into the air, and the flames flashed.
It was like a hot wheel spinning in circles. The eggs were thrown from three to six, and finally all six eggs hit the forehead, and the white face turned into egg soup, making the whole audience laugh.
The short Choudan can also spit fire from his mouth, and a string of flames spurts out from the stage, making the people present scream again. The short Choudan can also do somersaults while standing on stilts, and no one can match his funny ability.
.
Li Guolou took a look at the program. The short ugly dancer's name was Hua Dandan. He was a member of the Miao family's juggling troupe. Li Guolou's eyes were full of murderous intent. He squinted and stared at the ugly dancer named Hua Dandan.
.
Eight strong men from the Miao family's juggling class climbed up on the stage with their naked bodies on two thick ropes hanging from the top of the stage. They made all kinds of incredible moves on the ropes. The combination of strength and beauty caused a wave of excitement.
A burst of applause.
The show on Knife Mountain is a repertoire of the Miao family juggling class. Although the escalator on the knife ladder is not very high due to stage restrictions, every sharp knife is stepped on, and you climb to the top of the knife ladder to get the hydrangea. This kind of life-threatening
The performance still received unanimous praise from people in the world.
The show of going into the sea of fire was even more terrifying. A dozen strong men walked barefoot on the hot coals singing ethnic minority songs that they could not understand. Only people from the Miao family's juggling troupe who claimed to be knowledgeable about ghosts and gods would dare to do such a thing.
At the end of the show, when everyone had not yet returned to the wonderful performance, Li Guolou echoed: "Second brother, there is a problem with those people. They should be people from the White Lotus Sect. Let's go meet them."
"Little Li, you took the wrong medicine. What grudge does the White Lotus Sect have against us? The White Lotus Sect has not rebelled now. The Queen Mother is kind and does not kill. She values peace and does not behead people. At worst, she will be exiled to the army and sent to the army. Why are they looking for us?"
Wu Defu turned his head and looked at Li Guolou as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
Li Guolou lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, I have no intention of arresting them, and I don't have any evidence in hand, but they came to the capital to do bad things. It's best to advise them to get out, so that we can meet each other in the world."
The Hokage knows. Second brother, don’t just think about beauties, you will start killing after the New Year."
Li Guolou was about to curse, and rolled his eyes at Wu Defu. He went to drag Yao Cuo back, but when he saw that Yao Cuo was a little drunk, he gave up.
Wu Defu poured tea into his stomach, stood up and asked, "Third brother, how should I meet them? Harder or softer?"
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Under the premise that our second brother is easy to meet, what are you going to do?"
Li Guolou cursed in his heart. Wu Defu, who was celebrating the New Year, no longer had any ambitions, unlike when he was so angry that he wanted to kill people to vent his evil anger. The first thing he wanted to do was kill Liu Huan, the third boss of Yipintang, who liked his young husband.
Wu Defu thought for a moment and said, "Let their heads come to see us and give them a step up. If they don't obey, we will be tough. The worst is to break up."
Li Guolou whispered: "Let that ugly man on stilts come along, he is the Hokage."
Wu Defu was stunned in surprise. The White Lotus Sect's "Hokage" was famous for assassinating countless officials of the Qing Dynasty. He, a person who collects intelligence from the world, didn't even know what the Hokage looked like. Where did Li Guolou get the news?
Wu Defu blew up the temple and said, "Third brother, why didn't you tell me the news when you got it?"
Li Guolou frowned and said: "Second brother, I am the head catcher handling the case. I have seen the Hokage when I was at the scene. You can see it with your eyes, do you understand?"
Wu Defu said: "Third brother, are you not blind?"
Li Guolou said: "Second brother, it's just a secret message if you miss it. People pretend to be confused because they understand, and no one will draw a gun at each other."
"Sell green onions!" Wu Defu figured it out. Who is afraid of whom? Everyone is doing Tai Chi. There are many misunderstandings in the world. After that, the most misunderstandings can happen.
Wu Defu waved his personal attendant Wu Ta over, whispered a few instructions, told Zhao Yao, the head of Yipin Hall, that he wanted to see guests, and then walked to the private room upstairs with Li Guolou.
On the stage, two fat men were playing octagonal drums, one fat man was talking and singing, and a fat man sitting behind was playing strings. It was a very interesting performance, and he also did various funny actions. It made the whole place burst into laughter.
Li Guolou and Wu Defu stood in the private room upstairs and smiled while watching the performance on the stage.
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Second brother, playing the octagonal drum is the funniest thing. It is suitable for ordinary people to watch. These two fat guys will become famous. Ask the eldest brother to sign a contract with them, and let them do a special performance at the eldest brother's venue in the future. I will write to them
Speak words."
Wu Defu said cheerfully: "Third brother, just say yes, don't you see, an all-rounder can still write lyrics."
"Second brother, why don't you write the jokes you made about me into the lyrics, but you still talk about the people sitting in the hall." Li Guolou said with great dissatisfaction.
Wu Defu thought of the funniest joke, and when he saw the appearance of the two fat men on the stage, he couldn't help but squat on the ground laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.
(The octagonal drum is the predecessor of cross talk. If the person behind it doesn't play the strings, it will become a joke.)
