The late emperor's favorite thing was to listen to opera.

When the late emperor was still alive... singing opera was not only a craft, but also a means of survival.

The name Hua Chaodu was given by the late emperor. His good voice was the most favored by the late emperor. It was not easy to survive in the palace, and it was even more difficult to stand out.

This good voice did allow him to sit firmly in the palace for the first time, and also allowed him to reach the position of being second to none and above ten thousand people today, but those past memories were not good things for Hua Chaodu.

Hua Chaodu laughed in anger.

He looked at the shopkeeper and said to him word by word, "I have a lot of good songs. Which one do you want to listen to?"

The moment he laughed, countless people hiding in the shadows shuddered. When

Hua Chaodu laughed, hundreds of heads in the world would probably fall off.

But Feng Qing...

didn't realize that the person in front of her was angry at all.

Her eyes even lit up. Oh

my god, this person smiled, this person looks so good when he smiles!

Chu Changzui and Li Qi still stayed on one side. Chu Changzui curled up in Li Qi's arms as if he was afraid, but his little hand quietly wrote on Li Qi's hand, [I recognize who this person is].

[Who? ]

[Have you heard of it? Hua Chaodu in Dongchang. ]

It turned out...it was him.

Li Qi looked up in surprise. Of course he knew this person, and he also vaguely knew what the murderous aura that suddenly erupted from this person just now was.

I'm afraid that few people in the world have heard of this person's plays, and the shopkeeper actually let him sing...

...Isn't that the right thing to do! Whatever the shopkeeper does is right!

Chu Changzui didn't know what his colleague was thinking. If he knew, he might have used his head to violently attack his colleague's face.

He knew Hua Chaodu by fate. When he was still in Guigu Sect, this man had invited him to serve as an official in the court.

And the position he promised him was not a small fish or shrimp, but a national teacher.

In fact, the court still looks more at appearance when selecting people. Chu Changzui thought that there were still a few people in Guigu Sect who were more powerful than him, but they were older and looked older than him, so they could not be the mascot of the court.

This official position is indeed important enough, and the conditions offered by the other party were also very attractive. However, Chu Changzui himself is a free-spirited person, and he couldn't let go of Guigu Sect, so he naturally didn't agree.

Who would have thought that they would meet here now.

Although Chu Changzui is small now, his mind is still very flexible. He knows that the shopkeeper likes to listen to operas, and has been hanging out in the theater recently.

Why does she like to listen to operas so much?

This thought flashed through Chu Changzui's mind.

He remembered that when he went to the theater to find the shopkeeper before, he saw her stroking the black sign. He guessed something, but didn't say it out loud.

Feng Qing was not idle during this period. She seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, she was frantically asking for help in the forum and searching on Baidu.

Most of the idiots in the forum knew less about opera than Feng Qing. After all, she had listened to opera for several days, so the replies below were basically [The Drunken Concubine? Farewell My Concubine? ], [The Peony Pavilion], [Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger! ]

The few reliable ones were all about opera names that seemed reliable.

But when Feng Qing wanted to pick a few, she got stuck again.

It was the same thing again.

This world is fictional after all, and many details are different from her time and space, so Feng Qing is not sure whether the operas that existed in her original world still exist here.

She hesitated for a while, and her eyes glanced at the replies of those people who were making a fuss on the forum.

To be honest, the first two names that came to her mind were The Drunken Concubine and Farewell My Concubine. These two should be the names that anyone who knows nothing about opera can think of at the first time. Others... Serving the Country with Loyalty?

"How about The Drunken Concubine?" Feng Qing asked.

When she was looking up the information about Shixian some time ago, she also saw Concubine Yang... Since there is Concubine Yang, then The Drunken Concubine must be safe, right?

After Feng Qing finished speaking this sentence, she suddenly found that there was silence around her.

The silence even frightened her.

What happened? How could there be no chirping of katydids? Feng Qing looked around nervously.

However, just when Feng Qing was about to lose her composure, Hua Chaodu across from him suddenly smiled a little deeper.

"No problem." His voice was very light.

...At this moment, all the people on the street had run away.

Chu Changzui and Li Qi were sure that there were at least three digits of people gathered here just now, but now, except for some passers-by on the street who had no idea what was going on and their two shop assistants, there was no one left alive on this street. Others were

also afraid of death, and they were even more afraid that they would be tortured to death by the furious Hua Chaodu. Who knew what the governor would do in a rage.

But Feng Qing didn't know.

She saw Hua Chaodu in front of her smiling, and she smiled after agreeing to her request. She

is so pretty, and the beauty has such a good temper.

Not only is she pretty, but her tone of voice is also gentle. She must be a fairy descending to the earth to be so beautiful.

She sang whatever she asked him to sing. She thought that such an actor would not be unwilling to sing. He is simply not arrogant at all, and can be called the conscience of the industry.

Feng Qing herself felt a little ecstatic.

"What does the shopkeeper want to do?" Chu Changzui muttered in his heart. He found that since Hua Chaodu came here, the shopkeeper seemed to have been deliberately provoking him.

That feeling... It's not teasing, but when the shopkeeper saw Hua Chaodu, it seemed that his eyes lit up.

To describe it in one word - the prey is joyful.

Hua Chaodu, the most terrifying person in the world, some people would even tremble when hearing his name, but in the eyes of the shopkeeper, he seemed to be just a simple... actor.

And he is an actor who sings very well.

Chu Changzui could probably guess what the purpose of the person opposite him was in coming here.

He wanted to make the shopkeeper surrender, or... to let her die.

Hua Chaodu is the most loyal dog of the court. To him, most of the people in the martial arts world are just troubles. Only when they are all in his hands can he feel a little relieved.

But...

is the shopkeeper the kind of person who is willing to be inferior to others?

But...

Chu Changzui also suddenly showed a playful smile.

He also wanted to know why the shopkeeper dared to provoke Hua Chaodu again and again.

At present, the only sects in the martial arts world that dare to say that they can get rid of part of the control of the court are the Moment and the Beggars' Gang. The former is a demon sect, and the latter has a loose composition of personnel, and it is difficult to organize them together.

Although he had guessed the identity of the shopkeeper, he didn't know what the shopkeeper had done in the Western Regions over the years and what kind of power he had established.

Before, Chu Changzui had received news that there was indeed a powerful force behind the shopkeeper, but unfortunately he had never seen it with his own eyes.

If they could take the opportunity to find out... then why not watch the excitement here?

Feng Qing suddenly heard the beauty opposite say, "Just..."

"Just?"

"Do I have to sing like this?"

It's not that simple for him to sing a show.

Everyone around heard Hua Chaodu's words and their hearts skipped a beat.

Only Feng Qing... was still laughing foolishly.

Hua Chaodu had already thought about how to deal with the guy in front of him.

He was originally thinking whether he could recruit this person to serve the court, but now his mind was full of thoughts about killing this guy in front of him.

If this person fell into his hands... then he would definitely use all kinds of punishments on her. Dongchang has been here for so many years, and no matter who sees him, they will be scared to death, not just because of the name Dongchang.

He...

he would chop off all the limbs of this person.

Seal her ears with his own hands and cut off her tongue.

What do her eyes look like? If they are dug out, will they be as beautiful as pearls?

He likes pearls the most.

It's just right, he can use them... as a reward for singing this play.

Whenever he thought of this, Hua Chaodu was excited all over. He rarely met people who dared to challenge him like this.

The angrier Hua Chaodu is, the more beautiful his smile looks.

That's why many people privately talk about his appearance.

Chu Changzui and Li Qi gradually felt the terrible feeling from Hua Chaodu, and that feeling even made them both feel a little uncomfortable.

It's true... the rumors are true.

Li Qi could see Hua Chaodu's twisted eyes under his beautiful smile.

This guy... is really a guy with an extremely twisted personality as the rumors say.

This kind of distortion and madness is rarely seen even by people like Li Qi and Chu Changzui who have been in the world for many years.

Some people's madness will lead them to their end, while some people's madness... will make them stronger and more terrifying.

Hua Chaodu is obviously the latter.

His madness has been integrated into his bones and has become a part of him.

Feng Qing looked at Hua Chaodu in front of her, and was almost melted by his beautiful face.

Ah, it’s great, it’s great to be alive.

Her slow brain pondered the meaning of his words for a while, and then suddenly understood.

Oh... could it be

that this person doesn’t have any opera clothes?

It seems to be true. She just ordered a few plays casually, and it seems that other people’s costumes can’t be brought all at once. Maybe they only brought costumes for a few plays, so they said that now.

Feng Qing also became worried. The owner of the troupe was kind enough to let her make any request, but he didn’t consider what to do if the other party couldn’t fulfill it. How

about changing another one? Feng Qing hesitated for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

She suddenly calmed down, turned to Li Qi behind her and said, "By the way, go upstairs and look through my cabinet."

Li Qi was stunned for a moment.

"There is a small package inside, pressed at the bottom, then bring it over."

Feng Qing packed up a whole pile of props when she packed up the props before, and put them all in her cabinet.

It just so happened that she remembered that she seemed to have collected a set of costumes that matched the Drunken Concubine... Of course, it was not the real Drunken Concubine, but the costume of Concubine Yang in a TV series.

Well, Drunken Concubine, although there are no costumes for the opera, it should be okay to use this thing to match it, right? At most, let the person in front of you take a look first, this is the real knowledgeable one.

If it doesn't work, then give it back to her.

Li Qi immediately went upstairs and opened the box that the shopkeeper mentioned.

Then...

the moment Li Qi opened it, his breathing stopped for a second.

He looked at the things in the box and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

... It seemed like a long time had passed before Li Qi lowered his head and took out the clothes that the shopkeeper mentioned from the back of the cabinet, then carefully avoided other things in the cabinet and hurriedly took it downstairs.

Feng Qing waited for Li Qi to come down from the stairs, then took the clothes from his hand and opened it casually.

By the way, this set of clothes was stuffed directly into a plastic bag by her because there were not enough bags. Although it seems that stuffing clothes into a plastic bag like this will easily cause wrinkles, there is nothing she can do about it.

Feng Qing took the clothes out of the bag, threw the plastic bag aside, shook it off and said to Hua Chaodu, "Look, what do you think of this dress?"

She was actually trying her best to pretend to be calm, but her hands were shaking with excitement.

A pretty, gentle, gloomy-faced boy!

Wearing women's clothes!

Ah!

Just tell me if you are excited or not! Excited or not!

Feng Qing was so excited that her head was spinning. She took out the thing as if it were a treasure.

...Although she also felt that this dress might not be reliable, what if?

Feng Qing sometimes had the personality of a child who wanted to be praised, because her mother had said this personality countless times, but every time she saw someone who was a little gentle, she couldn't help showing her side that wanted to be praised.

It was really the first time that she saw such a gentle and beautiful person. It was just too strange for her to hold a mobile phone now. Otherwise, Feng Qing would have to take a dozen or twenty photos with her mobile phone, frame them, and put them on the Internet. After all, she had traveled through time once, so she should gain something. However

, what Feng Qing didn't expect was that...

her ability to hide her emotions was really too childish in the eyes of this group of wandering people.

This group of wandering people were first-class in intrigue and their methods of seeing through people's hearts were even first-class.

So in their eyes, the shopkeeper now had an inexplicable enthusiasm.

Her feeling was particularly strange, as if...

as if she was appreciating a work of art.

Every bit of her eyes seemed to want to entangle into Hua Chaodu's bones, and then break him apart bit by bit.

Li Qi and Chu Changzui suddenly felt a stronger discomfort, and this discomfort came from the shopkeeper.

It felt like...

like being stared at by another extremely scary thing.

The shopkeeper seemed to be hiding something even scarier.

Chu Changzui took a breath of cold air.

How could he forget about this!

The shopkeeper... is a person who is truly possessed.

Such a person's temper is so weird and twisted that it is hard for normal people to imagine.

It's like just now when he looked at Hua Chaodu, he felt that he was extremely scary, but in front of the shopkeeper... he became not so scary.

Chu Changzui's eyes gradually became terrified. He didn't show any fluctuations when he saw Hua Chaodu just now, but at this moment he was crazy and wanted to escape.

This feeling reached its climax when the shopkeeper slowly unfolded the clothes in his hands.

That dress was not so simple.

Because...

it was a palace dress that was unfamiliar... but extremely gorgeous.
