Chapter 275: Exposed
Soon it was time to watch the show. In the evening, the stage was set up, the banquet was prepared, and the elders arrived on time.
The old master also promised that he must listen to the whole play that Su Yatou put on and would not fall asleep halfway.
Everyone doted on Su Wan, which made her nervous. She smiled and said:
"Don't expect too much. The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment."
"No, there's a first time for everything. Grandfather believes in you." The old sect leader is now Su Wan's absolute number one supporter. Her position in his heart is equal to Jiang Yu's, and there's even a suspicion that it's higher.
After all, he had never comforted Jiang Yu like this. From childhood to adulthood, if he did well, it was good, and if he did not do well, it was bad.
As soon as the play began, the two protagonists came out and sang a song together.
The song was beautifully sung and the lyrics were good, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention, because this kind of style was the first time they had seen it, and the style was unique.
When the old sect leader heard these lyrics, he muttered something interesting.
Then asked Su Wan:
"Girl, are these the lyrics you wrote?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wan quickly denied it:
"No, no, it was someone else who did it. I was just a porter."
"This person has great literary talent to be able to write such good lyrics. But you are also very capable, girl. It is very good that you can present it." When the old master praised the author, he also did not forget to praise Su Wan.
After the song ended, the performance began according to the script, starting with the throwing of the ball to find a bride, with several highlights. After that, the two protagonists were together regardless of the differences between their families, and the villains in the script came out one after another to make trouble.
After a high-five, they severed their relationship, and the rich young lady became a poor wife, who knew nothing when she first arrived at the cold kiln.
Then there are a series of misunderstandings and setbacks later on, with too many turning points. It can be said that the whole process is full of interesting moments and conflicts.
Everyone expressed sympathy and heartache for Wang Baochuan's experience, and her unwavering love for the male protagonist was also worthy of praise, which even made Sun Ling'er cry.
In the end, the protagonists finally reunited after all the hardships, the good guys were rewarded, and the bad guys received the punishment they deserved.
Not to mention the old sect leader who was watching it seriously, even Su Mu was absorbed in it, and the elders were also curious as it was their first time listening to this play.
It involved some battlefields, fighting and killing, and the hero's brave and warlike character attracted them very much. They were not bored at all and watched it to the end.
Sun Ling'er cried and laughed, laughed and cried, but she only felt sorry for the heroine and could not sympathize with the hero.
She also said:
"Baochuan endured eighteen years in the cold kiln, and after he came back, he actually flirted with her and tested her. It was really annoying."
From a woman's perspective, this point is indeed hard to accept.
Because of this, Sun Ling'er was depressed for several days. She couldn't help thinking about this plot and became sentimental.
The old sect leader was so happy to watch it that he really didn't fall asleep halfway through this time and watched it until the end.
After finishing, he asked Su Wan if there were any similar stories to read.
There are so many of them. Su Wan's hands are full of scripts, including those about the female prince consort, getting into the wrong sedan chair but marrying the right man, and everything else.
However, the old master's health still cannot withstand such frequent work, so the opera can only be listened to every few days.
When Su Wan was free, he would accompany Jiang Yu in Fengyue Pavilion to take care of the old master and tell him stories from Journey to the West.
When Su Mu has nothing to do, he will listen to it. This kind of mythological story is very attractive no matter when it is told.
…
Unknowingly, more than half a month has passed. Doctor Sun has been in Leiming Mountain for several days, but no news has been received.
He stayed indoors for half a month, and Yu Wushang became suspicious again. Recently, he was busy collecting evidence to eliminate dissidents.
But he has always ignored Fengyue Pavilion.
The old man seems to be in better spirits day by day. How can he look like he is about to die?
Even if he is not panicking anymore, he will panic sooner or later.
He couldn't be sure whether the matter was exposed or not. He was caught red-handed when he secretly investigated the elders of the Zhongzi Sect and the Yizi Sect. He suspected that the two were also planning to attack the sect leader. It turned out that Jiang Yu was the one who interfered and successfully provoked an internal fight.
One party is suspicious, and the other party feels distrusted and disheartened.
The next day, Yu Wushang came to the medicine garden again, wanting to see where Sun Beidou had gone, because even if he had a cold, he wouldn't stay at home for half a month.
Jiang Yu instructed Sun Ling'er that if she really couldn't hide it, then she didn't have to hide it and just say openly that Doctor Sun had left Fengyue Villa.
Because Jiang Yu has received the news that Doctor Sun is on his way back and will arrive in three days at most, and the antidote is already in hand.
Jiang Yu was afraid of problems, so he sent two more groups of people to ensure that Doctor Sun could return to Fengyue Villa safely.
When Yu Wushang discovered that Sun Beidou was not there, he had a bad feeling.
He also sent someone to Fengyue Pavilion to investigate secretly and discovered a shocking secret.
Jiang Yu raised a group of women and took their heart blood every day to feed to the old master, so this is the reason why the old master's spirit is getting better and better?
This is not a prescription for detoxification, but think about it the other way around, Sun Beidou disappeared for half a month, hiding it from his eyes, but in fact he went to look for an antidote.
But he didn't know whether the antidote was available.
By the time he reacted and sent people down the mountain to inquire about the news, Doctor Sun had already entered the Mohe River Basin and reached the territory of Fengyue Villa, so he could not take any action.
Moreover, his people found out that Doctor Sun did not come back alone, but brought someone back with him, who was Ye Qingwu, the one who sold him the poison.
Once Ye Qingwu came forward to accuse him of plotting to murder the old sect leader, those elders who supported him would definitely turn against him. It just so happened that he had recently been at odds with several of them. Thinking carefully about the cause and effect, it turned out that it was all the conspiracy of that kid Jiang Yu.
It was he who deliberately provoked the incident. He used the opera troupe as a shield and secretly arranged for a group of women to go up the mountain to get the heart's blood to save his life.
It was all Yu Wushang's fault for being so slow to react. He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. How could such a secret be exposed?
Yu Wushang knew that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave. He couldn't just sit and wait for Ye Qingwu to go up the mountain. This damn woman would do anything for money.
She sold Ling Chi to him because he paid enough money.
Once the old master gets better, he will definitely not let him go. If he doesn't find a way to leave, he will probably never have the chance to make a comeback.
That night, Yu Wushang packed some things, put on his night clothes, and planned to leave Fengyue Villa without being noticed. The most important thing was to save his life.
But Jiang Yu is not a fool. He has already laid a tight net. Even if he can escape from Fengyue Villa, he cannot escape from Mohe.
But Yu Wushang was not easy to capture. His martial arts skills should not be underestimated. Several waves of people were unable to stop him and were seriously injured by him.
After he broke through the siege several times, he found that Jiang Yunhe had been waiting for him for a long time.
