For the rest of my life

It was winter, and the temperature in the imperial city dropped, and the howling north wind swept across the city with blades, causing people to close their doors and windows tightly to resist the cold.

The streets at night are empty and quiet, and occasionally a patrol passes by, breaking the tranquility.

In Lanyue Tower, located at the southwestern end of the imperial city, there was a lot of voices.

Lanyuelou is an opera teahouse.When it opened first, because of the location, few people came, and the operation was very difficult.Later, the boss spent a lot of money to invite major troupes to perform, which made him famous.Over time, opera lovers flock here, and Lanyue Tower has become synonymous with opera teahouses in the imperial city.

Tonight is a special performance of the Liu family class, which is performing a famous play - Farewell My Concubine.

The actors are all new faces, and the old people in the class didn't even make a fool of themselves, which made the audience very fresh.Although the faces are new, they are all solid.Solid singing skills and well-executed movements drew applause from the audience.

Overlord walked around the stage, Chu Ge sounded, and returned to the tent in shock.Concubine Yu stood up to greet the visitor, and the plot gradually reached a climax...

Lu Zhao dressed up as a concubine and sang: "Persuade the king to drink wine and listen to Yu's song, to relieve the king's worries and dance. To win Qin Wudao and break the country, the heroes will go to war. Since ancient times, as the saying goes, don't deceive me, success or failure rises and falls in an instant, and drink with peace of mind. Sit down." Bai Li stepped into the door at that moment.The audience applauded and applauded, Bai Li took off his coat and shook off his weathered clothes, handed it to Xiao Er who came to greet him, and sat down in the middle of the hall with applause.

From the corner of his eyes, Lu Zhao caught a glimpse of Bai Li taking his seat, turned around lightly, and pulled out the saber from the Overlord's waist.After dancing to a tragic song, a generation of beauties commit suicide in front of their lovers.The maids hugged Yu Ji and retreated, and the scene officially came to an end.

The curtain on the stage was slowly closed, and the audience stood up and applauded collectively, but no one moved at the table where Bai Li was.Bai Li picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, the old god was there, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.Staff Officer Li leaned towards him, with a flattering smile on his face, "Master Bai, what do you think of today's scene?"

Bai Li swallowed the tea in his mouth, smacked his lips to savor the taste of the tea. "The dance is pretty good, but it's a pity that I was delayed by something, and I didn't hear a few words of the libretto." A regretful expression appeared on his face.

Staff Officer Li understood and got up.

Bai Li glanced sideways at the direction Staff Li was heading for, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Zhao woke up in the Bai Mansion.There were waves of dull pain in the back of his head, Lu Zhao looked down at the rope that bound him, and looked around at the place where he was trapped, and he understood most of it in his heart.

Lanyue Building Backstage

Lu Zhao was taking off his makeup.He took off his costume and restored his original appearance. The mirror of the dressing table reflected the appearance of a handsome young man with a cool look in his eyes.Staff Officer Li came over and first leaned his upper body slightly towards Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao looked at the stranger in military uniform reflected in the mirror, and sat still.

Then Staff Officer Li said: "Master Lu." Lu Zhao hummed, which was a response.

"I was lucky enough to watch your play today. It opened my eyes. Your figure is really graceful. Only after this comparison can I know that the plays I watched in the past are nothing... "

"Master Jun, please speak up if you have something to say." Lu Zhao interrupted.

Staff Officer Li smiled awkwardly, "That's right, our marshal was delayed by something today, so he came late. It's a pity that he couldn't listen to today's play in its entirety. So I would like to ask you to go to the house to sing it again, and it will satisfy our marshal's regret." .”

"May I ask which marshal it is?"

"Bai Li, Marshal Bai."

Bai Li, the marshal of the Puppet Manchukuo to protect the country, holds a heavy army, and all the warlords have to rely on him to live their lives.Bai Li has been working hand in hand with the invaders for many years, and his notoriety is so resounding that it is impossible to find anyone who can compare with him in the whole of China.This person has a violent nature and a lot of blood and debts in his hands, and his hobbies are also very small - good Longyang.It was rumored that all men with any color in the imperial city were tortured by him.

"It turned out to be Marshal Bai." Lu Zhao stood up, looked at Staff Officer Li, and said, "Lu Zhao is on the stage for the first time today, and he is timid due to his lack of experience. This meeting has not slowed down. It is easy to make mistakes at this time. It’s better not to defeat Marshal Bai’s interest. There are many famous actors in Beijing, so you’d better invite another one.” Lu Zhao refused very simply, and bowed without waiting for Staff Li to open his mouth or his expression.He picked up the coat on the back of the chair, put it on his hand, and went straight out.

When he arrived in the alley, Lu Zhao put on his coat and walked towards the main road.When passing a corner, suddenly a figure flashed behind him, and a dull stick hit the back of his head.

Lu Zhao was trapped in a study.Marble covered the floor of the entire room, a row of bookcases stood on the wall to his left, and there seemed to be a window on the wall to the right that was covered by a curtain, which could not be determined.In the middle is a set of office desks and chairs. There is an oil painting on the wall behind. The person in the painting is holding a long sword above his head and riding a pure black horse. A domineering aura pervades his brows, and he looks like a superior person. momentum.The painting took up the entire wall, and Lu Zhao was tied up in the open space opposite, looking at Bai Li in the painting.

There was a sound of footsteps, from far to near, and stopped behind him.

"Say hello to Marshal Bai," Lu Zhao didn't turn his head. Knowing that it was Bai Li, he spoke first. "And the book is tied up, so it's inconvenient to move, and I can't salute. I hope Bai Ye will make amends."

Bai Li stood behind and stared at the back of Lu Zhao's head for a while, then stepped forward to untie him.

Lu Zhao stood up and shook off the rope on his body, loosened his limbs, and saluted Bai Li and his party, "Marshal Bai must have ordered someone to prepare a bedroom for me, please show me the way."

Bai Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you ask what's going on?"

"Marshal Bai has been around for so many years, how can I, a fledgling little actor, understand my actions and plans. If I ask rashly, it's not a big deal to waste your tongue, but a big deal to make you angry. It's better to shut up and treat you and me good."

Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao with an unclear expression. "You are transparent." Then he stretched out his arm, "Please." He led Lu Zhao to the bedroom.

The imaginary struggling and resisting and yelling, nothing happened.Bai Li was very aggrieved.
