At this moment, the child on stage finished his magic performance and bowed to the crowd.
Yuan Hao then strode onto the stage, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Su Yun Class has just acquired a new magic performance technique. Today, you are all fortunate to witness it. Those who have money, please support us financially; those who don't, please support us by showing your presence."
As he spoke, several young actors from Su Yun's troupe, still in their costumes, filed past the crowd carrying copper basins.
The people readily took out their reward money to give as tips.
Yuan Hao continued, "Starting next month, on the first and fifteenth of each month, Su Yunban will perform a magic show in front of the county magistrate's mansion. Everyone is welcome to come and support us!"
Some people shouted wildly, "One more time! Reveal the secrets again, how is this all performed?"
Yuan Hao just chuckled and said, "All so-called sorcery is nothing but an illusion! If the secrets of magic are all revealed, how can we perform?"
"We even know what that terrifying massacre of living people is all about, what are your petty tricks compared to that?" one of the villagers said angrily. "We'll go back and think about it carefully, and we'll definitely be able to figure out the mystery!"
Faced with these bold pronouncements, Yuan Hao only smiled and remained silent.
Unexpectedly, after providing two excellent scripts, the young county princess has now introduced such an eye-catching and novel magic trick!
My Su Yun Class is destined to become famous!
Clinging to the county magistrate's coattails was truly the wisest decision I ever made!
This young county princess is truly a treasure!
In the Princess's residence, someone else uttered a similar sigh.
My junior sister is truly a treasure!
Such a seemingly extremely difficult problem was solved by her with just a few words and a few performance moves?
Although he didn't know what science was, her demonstration completely overturned the public's previous expectations.
Even the terrifying sight of the living people they saw with their own eyes was just a smokescreen.
The rumor about cesarean section to remove a child is definitely just a rumor!
Junior Sister is so powerful, it seems she doesn't need his protection at all.
Thinking about the meaning behind the princess's words, he suddenly made a decision.
In the flower hall, the Eldest Princess and the Dowager Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo held Xiao Youran's hands and praised her highly, saying that she had once again saved the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Yueyue looked at Xiao Youran with great admiration, her eyes shining.
At this moment, Nan Zhuo rushed in and whispered urgently to Wen Yuanbai outside the door, "Master, something has happened to Prince Xuan!"
"What?!" Wen Yuanbai exclaimed in shock. "What happened?"
"General Hu Yang of the Southern Border Army was ambushed and trapped in Jinping Mountain. Xuan Wang happened to be nearby on the southwestern border. After receiving Hu Yang's plea for help, he immediately led his troops to rescue him. After rescuing General Hu Yang, he covered the rear, but unexpectedly, he also fell into an ambush. He fought fiercely with the leader of the barbarian bandits and they both fell off a cliff. Their fate is unknown!"
Wen Yuanbai gasped and decisively said, "Go and prepare. Wait for me at the south gate in half an hour!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhuo immediately accepted the order and left.
Wen Yuanbai entered the flower hall and whispered the whole story to the people there.
Madam Xue immediately and astutely said, "His Highness Prince Xuan must have been implicated by my Xue family!"
The eldest princess was also quite astonished, "If this was a setup, it truly kills three birds with one stone! This person's schemes are unfathomable!"
On one hand, she had people dig up information about the day she gave birth in the capital, labeling her son a "Japanese devil" and cutting off the Xue family army's hope of having a successor; on the other hand, she had people attack Hu Yang in the southern border, trying to disintegrate the united Xue family army and leave them leaderless; and she also "coincidentally" learned that the Xuan King was near Jinping Mountain, luring him there and setting up an ambush.
It's impossible not to connect the dots!
If they succeed in all of this, it will be truly brilliant!
Wen Yuanbai nodded, glanced at Xiao Youran, and bowed to his aunt, saying, "Regardless of the Xue family army, with my father's life hanging in the balance, I must rush to Jinping Mountain immediately! Aunt, I can only entrust the affairs of the capital to you for now."
The eldest princess nodded, "Be careful!"
Xiao Youran also said, "Senior brother, the road ahead is fraught with danger, so we should be careful."
Wen Yuanbai walked over and patted Xiao Youran's head. "Junior sister, your senior brother isn't here with you, so you must keep a low profile and not cause any more trouble!"
Xiao Youran's eyes widened. "Baby is only five years old, how could she have caused any trouble?! It's all their fault for provoking her!"
Wen Yuanbai chuckled, "Alright, alright, Junior Sister is still young and hasn't caused any trouble. Then you should stay in the capital and make money... while waiting for your senior brother to return!"
Little Youran glared angrily and said in her childish voice, "How can a legitimate daughter of a Duke's mansion associate with money all day long?!"
Seriously, why is my senior brother speaking such blunt truths?
Did she not know that standing right next to her were the eldest daughter-in-law, the grandmother of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Yueyue, who adored her?
Isn't this ruining her image?
Wen Yuanbai smiled again, took out a stack of papers from his pocket, and handed them to her. "Oh, then be a good girl and practice your calligraphy until your senior brother comes back to check!"
Xiao Youran's feigned anger turned into a genuine raging fire, and she pushed him towards the door, shouting, "Cunning senior brother! Hurry! Hurry! Go save your father!"
Madam Xue and the Princess laughed heartily.
Xiao Youran walked out of the Princess's residence in a sullen mood. As soon as she stepped out of the gate, several children's voices rang out, "Chief! Chief!"
Several figures then pounced on her.
Song San and Song Si stopped the man, saying, "Who dares to be so disrespectful to the young county princess?"
Xiao Youran looked closely and saw that it was actually Stone, Siwa, and Xiaoshan.
Several people crowded around, chattering, "Boss! Boss! We're here!"
"Yes! It took us more than a month to get to Kyoto!"
"Master! We heard that the young county princess had arrived at the Princess's residence as soon as we arrived in the capital, so we followed her here! We never expected to see you perform such a magnificent magic trick! Hahaha..."
"The leader is awesome! I want to learn too, I really want to learn!"
Xiao Youran watched the group of children chattering and smiled.
When she returned from Yunjia Village last time, she suggested to the others that they discuss with their parents whether or not to come to the capital.
Unexpectedly, two months later, I actually saw them in Kyoto.
She was also very happy because at that time she thought that she could no longer take them to Wufeng County to cause a ruckus, but she could come to the capital city!
Yuan Hao's opera troupe is mostly made up of young actors, and Shi Tou and the others could also join.
If she's not interested in opera, she could learn something else; who knows, she might even be able to develop the entertainment industry in ancient times!
I never expected that a magic show would happen today, and now they're saying they're interested in magic shows. Isn't this a perfect thing that just happened?
Yeah, it's just that...we need to train agents!
