King of Black Mist

The night sky was dark and the opera garden was brightly lit, like a bonfire under the sky. There were laughter everywhere and the drama on the stage was sonorous.

Zhong Yingru's eyes suddenly returned to Li Changzhou.

They had cheated on each other a few times, so she knew her half-heartedly, but for the first time today, she noticed that there was a mockery in his smile.

Just like the characters on the stage - I am the king of heaven on the stage, and the people in the audience dare to point their fingers, not taking it to heart at all.

Is this how he looks to outsiders?

"Forcing someone to do something difficult?" The tall, thin middle-aged man repeated the word and sneered.

He lifted up his gown and sat down on the stool.

"Second Master Li," the tall, thin middle-aged man's tone was full of teasing and ridicule, "how hard is it to live in this world, even if God forces things on you? You are not young at all, you don't understand this?"

Zhong Yingru frowned and looked at the middle-aged man again.

"No matter who is behind you, how dare you talk to the second master like this?"

Now the entire Xia Kingdom is decided by the Li family, the Song family, and the Zhao family. Li Changzhou is the second young master of the Li family. Except for a few people, who dares to give him face?

The assassination in the past few days had not been for Marshal Li to test his son and decide the successor, Songcheng would have been in chaos and bloodshed.

"Li Changzhou," the middle-aged man raised his lips and looked at Li Changzhou, "Do you think I dare?"

Li Changzhou fell into deep thought. What could he gain by pretending to join the other party?

If the other party wins over you, they will stop trying to win over others. With one less enemy in the dark and one more helper, you can also know how they plan to deal with Marshal Li and Li Bichang.

Zhong Yingru and the middle-aged man in a shirt were both looking at him. He was lying on the couch, his elbows supporting the armrests, his hands and five fingers facing each other in front of his chest, his eyes looking thoughtful.

"Forget it." The two of them suddenly heard him say.

At the beginning, I had a conciliatory relationship with the assassin. I was just here for the first time and wanted to see something.

Now if he is asked to obey the orders of an organization for a long time, a subordinate of the other party with some status dares not to treat him as a human being. Even if the task becomes easier (simple does not mean it can be completed), what's the point?

"Forget it?" The middle-aged man in a long gown frowned.

On the stage, deafening gongs and cymbals were struck.

The heroine flicked her sleeves, and her beaded headdress shone with blue light.

Zhong Yingru covered her mouth and widened her eyes. The eyes of the middle-aged man in a long gown were burning with white fire, the whites of his eyes swallowed up the pupils, and the eye sockets were all white.

He was still sitting on the stool, but his whole body was stiff, giving people a pale feeling like a candle.

On the stage, Wu Sheng shook his face and gained a ghost-like mask.

"Okay!" cheers came from all over the place.

The Black Death slowly put away his scythe, and his figure gradually blurred.

"Second Master!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu De led someone in.

Black Death is good everywhere, but there is a dark wind when it comes out, but it can be used to enjoy the coolness in summer.

"Hang him at the city gate for three days." Li Changzhou pointed at the soulless middle-aged man in a long gown.

Liu De looked at the corpse, his face changed, and his pupils dilated. The corpse in front of him showed no resistance and no wounds. The person died suddenly, and the appearance of his death was extremely strange.

"Do you want to send someone to watch?" His attitude towards Li Changzhou, in addition to power and money, also included a hint of obedience based on strength.

"What are you looking at with a corpse? Let whoever wants it take it. Throw it out. It will bring bad luck if you leave it here." Li Changzhou took a sip of the wine.

"Yes." Liu De turned his head and shouted to his subordinates, "Carry it away!"

The bodyguards stepped forward and carried the body out neatly, leaving only Li Changzhou and Zhong Yingru in the box.

"You saw it too," Li Changzhou put down his wine glass, "I've been in a lot of trouble recently. Even my eldest brother wanted to kill me. Let's not have any contact during this period."

He turned his head and looked at Zhong Yingru, who was still in shock: "We will be together again when the matter is resolved."

Zhong Yingru put down her hands on her chest and turned her eyes to Li Changzhou.

Her expression was complicated, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

After a while, she said dullly: "I thought you were just good-looking and could please women."

"I'm sure you're good-looking, but it takes a lot to please a woman." Li Changzhou smiled, "Sister-in-law, go back early. Pay attention to safety on the road. It's best not to go out during this period."

Zhong Ying nodded subconsciously. After coming to her senses, she stood up and walked outside.

"Sister-in-law."

Zhong Yingru turned around and saw Li Changzhou pointing at her body, with the shawl still lying there.

She walked back as if she had lost her soul, reached out and picked up the shawl, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly pounced on her.

She pressed down on Li Changzhou who was lying softly, hugged his neck tightly with her hands, and pressed her delicate face against his, as if she wanted to draw warmth from his body.

The two of them were as close as stacked spoons. As long as Li Changzhou put down his hands, he could wrap his arms around her slender waist, and then down to her curved buttocks.

"Ah Zhou," she murmured in a low voice, "I am yours in this life. If you die, I will die with you whether I want it or not."

She raised her head, smeared her rouged red lips, and breathed in the warm air. Her lips were slightly opened, and before they fell down, her tongue had already been slightly protruding.

Li Changzhou lowered his hand and knocked her unconscious.

He picked up the back collar of her cheongsam and threw it on the sofa next door.

"Damn it!" He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice and wiped his chest with his hand.

If you leave the fragrance, do you still have the nerve to see Miss Yang? This woman is simply mentally ill!

Li Changzhou put his fingers into the wine glass, wanting to sprinkle some wine on himself to get some wine flavor, but thought about it and forgot about it.

Neither he nor Yang Qinglan actually drink, they only try it occasionally as a life experience.

He let out a long sigh, feeling very annoyed, even more annoying than killing someone and having one more enemy.

As if against him, the stage became more lively, and the Spring Emperor appeared on the stage.

Even if Xu Sheng is dressed up, even if he is wearing a costume and paint, you can see that he has a very good temperament. He is calm and composed but always has a hint of melancholy. His appearance is also a great beauty. No wonder he was rated as one of the four beauties by the newspaper.

The opera should be as light as it should be, and as heavy as it should be. Peking opera is in her mouth, being held like a piece of candy, and she can do it as she pleases.

The play is called "Beating Drums and Scolding Cao", in which she plays Mi Heng.

"Even if you cut off my head, I will be famous all over the world for scolding Cao!"

As soon as he started speaking, the sound of cheers from the audience almost became substantial and threatened to overturn the box.

After the show ended, Li Changzhou applauded and asked Liu De to prepare a flower basket and go to see her backstage.

"Where are the clothes?"

"You haven't attached your beard yet?"

“Where did the black films go?”

In the dressing room backstage, the actresses were busy getting dressed and applying makeup.

Chun Huang had known in advance that Mr. Li was coming and came to greet him early.

Before she could speak, Li Changzhou quickened his pace and walked over. Before he reached him, he smiled and clasped his fists: "Miss Wu, Li Changzhou is so polite!"

Chun Huang, whose real name is Wu Chun'er.

Originally, Wu Chun'er was not called this name, but Sun Xiaoyun later changed it for her - Wu Chun'er strives hard for spring, and everyone is jealous of her.

Seeing Li Changzhou wearing a suit but deliberately bowing his head, Wu Chun'er giggled, a little girlish, but also a little generous and cheerful.

Li Changzhou turned around and took the flower basket from Liu De's hand, handed it to Chunhuang, and clasped his fists again:

"I have been abroad all year round, and I don't understand opera and look down on it. Today, Emperor Chun gave me a slap in the face and made me gain knowledge."

"Second Master, don't say that," Wu Chun'er pursed her lips and said with a smile. There was still makeup on her face, which looked as beautiful as a silhouette in 1928. "If word spreads and people say that I will slap you when we meet, I will be punished." Cursed to death.”

"That's right." Li Changzhou smiled and said, "It's a small matter if I get slapped, but it's a big deal if people don't dare to come and listen to Chunhuang's drama."

He turned to Liu De and said, "I'll tell all the newspapers in the city that I, Li Er, slapped myself after listening to Chunhuang's play."

"Here!" Liu De clasped his hands in his fists and responded loudly, just like an ancient general taking orders.

Wu Chun'er giggled again, laughing so happily that her cheerful character was embarrassed. She pulled up the sleeves of her costume and covered half of her mouth, leaving only her crooked eyes exposed.

Liu De was so lost in thought that he still held his hands together without letting go.

After laughing enough, Wu Chun'er took a breath and said, "Second Master, if you don't become a master and sing on stage with us, you will definitely be more famous than me."

"Okay." Li Changzhou looked at her with a smile, "When I am no longer a master, I will go to the opera with Chunhuang and travel to the ends of the world. Maybe I can become a 'Lihuang', 'Changhuang', or The title of 'Day Emperor'."

Staring directly at his charming black eyes, Wu Chun'er couldn't help but pursed her lips and looked away.

"Chun'er, it's almost your turn for the second scene!" Someone shouted in the distance.

Wu Chun'er glanced at Li Changzhou and bit her lip.

"Second Master, I——"

"Go quickly, go quickly," Li Changzhou also urged her, "I'll wait for you at the front desk. You're not allowed to be late?"

Wu Chun'er pursed her lips again and said with a smile: "Okay! You wait for me, but if I don't see you on the stage, I will really slap you."

She showed off her little white hands like a show off.

Li Changzhou laughed: "If you say that, I don't want to go, I want to be slapped!"

After Wu Chun'er left, Liu De gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are the one!"

Li Changzhou smiled faintly.

"I heard that the eldest son of the Song family also wanted to take the Spring Emperor as his concubine, but as soon as we met, the Spring Emperor ran away overnight. If you can capture her, the Song family will not be embarrassed." Liu De Said again.

"The actress is acting on the spot. How do you know if she smiled at Mr. Song before she ran away? Go find someone and ask her to see what her attitude was towards Mr. Song."

Liu De hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, he couldn't leave Li Changzhou, but Li Changzhou's ability to kill just now made him feel relieved.

"Okay, I'll go ask. Second Master, please be careful."

"I'm just backstage. If I don't go out, you'd better come here to find me."

"I'm going right away!"

After Liu De left, Li Changzhou immediately stretched his dog's neck and looked for his Miss Yang like a lackey.

Turning around here and there, the "tentacle cane" touched the ground, and it was quickly found.

Sun Xiaoyun was reprimanding a group of apprentices in a corner of the corridor in the backstage garden, and Yang Qinglan was inside.

"...You can be coaxed into it with just a few words! Love will only appear if you have experienced more, seen more, and broadened your horizons."

As expected of a famous actor in the past, he spoke like he was singing, with a cadence.

"Especially you, Qinglan."

Li Changzhou raised his dog ears.

"Stop showing yourself in public and concentrate on studying opera. You have the best conditions and the smartest person. You can be on stage in two or three years. Don't think of any crooked ideas. Do you understand?"

Yang Qinglan bowed her head obediently: "I understand."

"From today on, you are not allowed to go to the front, and you are not allowed to see anyone. Please practice your body and voice for me in the back."

"yes."

Li Changzhou leaned against the pillar, with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand holding his cane, looking over there with great interest.

It was a bit far away, and with normal eyesight, it was impossible to see who he was, but Li Changzhou could see clearly, and Yang Qinglan also knew that he was watching.

Soon, someone called Sun Xiaoyun and said that Mr. Liu was visiting.

After Sun Xiaoyun left, everyone dispersed.

"Let's see if some people dare to take the initiative to buy newspapers for Chunhuang. Damn."

"Stop it, do you have someone who knows how to flatter you? Can you be on stage in two or three years like others? You went from elementary school to high school, and it still takes four or five years to get to where you are today."

"It's not that I'm not as beautiful as anyone else, and I don't know how to flatter someone."

Li Changzhou watched even more enthusiastically, but it was a pity that Yang Qinglan did not find any trouble with these female actors, but stared at him with a look that said, "What are you looking at? Come here."

Li Changzhou hurried over, and Yang Qinglan also walked this way. The two met behind a large banana tree.
