Chapter 69 Jinghongfang
Su Zixu pondered for a moment, about to speak, but was interrupted by Le Zheng Fengye, "Young Brother Su, don't think too much. Just remember the core survival principle of the Corpse Man."
"What?"
"The image is not like the divine."
"The image... doesn't resemble the spirit?" Su Zixu felt that this was indeed a bit abstract. To be precise, he didn't know how to do it specifically.
"That's right, it's okay if you don't understand now. You're very smart, you know what to do." Le Zheng Fengye smiled and didn't say anything more.
At this time, six or seven carriages were already waiting outside the mansion, and everyone boarded the carriages according to their groups.
"I thought deserts were all incredibly desolate places, but I never expected Mingsha City to be so prosperous." Lin Tian lifted a corner of the curtain in the car window and curiously looked outside.
Although it was night, the liveliness was undiminished. The streets and alleys were bustling with people of all ethnicities, and the market was full of goods. From time to time, the aroma of food wafted into the carriage.
"It smells so good! It's the smell of crispy pork patties and roasted meat." Lin Tian sniffed out the window and smacked his lips twice as he said.
After crossing two or three more streets, the group of people stopped.
The coachman quickly dismounted and greeted everyone. Seeing that everyone was present, the steward bowed again and led them into Jinghongfang.
The theater was very large, with five floors in total. The first and second floors were already full of casual patrons. A Hu woman was playing the pipa, and the music was melodious and graceful. When she played an exciting part, she would accompany it with the Hu Xuan dance steps, and the audience cheered.
As the group walked up, the noise subsided considerably, and they reached the fifth floor in one go.
"Please take your seats, everyone. The master is currently praying to Buddha and will arrive in about two incense sticks' time." After giving these instructions, the steward went downstairs, presumably to fetch the old general.
After the butler left, everyone stood aside looking at the arrangement in front of them, and no one stepped forward to choose a seat.
Although Su Wang had shared some knowledge with everyone before they boarded the bus, listening is one thing, and putting it into practice is another.
The layout of the five floors is extremely elaborate. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old general's position is due north, directly facing the stage, and located on a three-tiered platform.
There are two rows of seats on either side of the main seat, and next to each main seat is a lower seat.
"The women are on the east side, and the men are on the west side. Please state your identities in turn, and I will make the arrangements," Su Wang said to the crowd.
After Zhao Hu sat down, he looked at Le Zheng Fengye across a seat and said, "Master Liu, the three of us just analyzed the teammates who entered the dream this time in the room."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zheng Fengye smiled and turned to look at Zhao Hu.
Seeing that Yue Zheng Fengye did not intend to interrupt him, Zhao Hu continued, "Most of my teammates this time are newcomers, and to be honest, I'm not confident."
"Get to the point," Yue Zheng Fengye said softly, glancing at the nearly full seats.
"You and your teammates, I guess you must have met in real life," Zhao Hu said tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Le Zheng Fengye's smile deepened.
Worried that his words might be misunderstood, Zhao Hu hurriedly said, "The three of us mean no harm. We just wanted to ask you if our two teams could join forces for this mission."
After pondering for a moment, Le Zheng Fengye said, "It's hard to say whether we should join forces or not. You're an old man, you should know that people here will do anything crazy just to survive."
"But since Brother Zhao has extended an olive branch, I can't refuse you."
"As long as you don't cause us any trouble, we won't harm you."
"Understood, Senior Liu. We will prove it with our actions, at least I will." Zhao Hu's eyes were firm.
In fact, it was expected that Le Zheng Fengye would not immediately agree to join forces, which actually made him feel more at ease with this person.
At this moment, after settling everyone in, Su Wang went to sit down himself, sitting between Le Zheng Feng Ye and Zhao Hu. The two of them tacitly ended their conversation.
Su Zixu sat far away from the old general. He looked around and was horrified. The banquet setup here was almost exactly the same as what he usually saw on TV.
It was as if he was attending not a family banquet, but a royal banquet.
"That old bastard actually has a rebellious heart." Su Zixu muttered to himself, looking at Li Na and Wen Zhunian sitting on either side of him.
Wen Zhunian appeared calm and collected, revealing nothing. On the other side was Li Na, whose face was somewhat pale, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
One of them was someone he didn't know well and dared not communicate with, and the other seemed to be struggling to even protect himself.
Su Zixu glanced at Le Zheng Fengye, who was sitting at the very front, through the crowd, sighed inwardly, and then quickly dismissed the thought of relying on others.
Heavy footsteps came from downstairs. The footsteps were very slow, and as the sound got closer, you could also hear heavy, labored breathing, like a broken bellows.
All eyes turned to the stairwell entrance.
