Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 536 Die together? (laugh

  In the Liyuan on the outskirts of the city, a small gong left the stage, and the candlelight reflected on the stage by the glazed mirrors gradually went out.

   When it comes to singing opera, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.

Si Teng once studied opera for a period of time in the Ming Dynasty. Originally, women were not supposed to enter the backstage, but not only could she enter, but she was also guided by a special teacher who taught her how to behave in a clean and ugly way, and how to pretend to be handsome. Plain noodles.

  The cold and calm eyes swept over everyone on the stage. She didn't speak, and the whole stage was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

  呯~

A crisp and clean sound came from Si Teng's side, breaking the original heavy and solid atmosphere, Zhou Ji lifted the tea cover and scratched the tea bowl indifferently, took a sip, and put it back with a soft smack. On the table, he suddenly noticed a ray of cold light in Si Teng's eyes, and he couldn't help but look back tactically, hesitantly said: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

  Si Teng looked back at the stage, and said in silence for a moment: "It's not too bad."

"That's not bad." Zhou Ji held up the teacup and handed it to Si Teng in a fawning manner, "It's hard work for you to prepare the troupe in such a short period of time. The teahouse is well prepared. These days, the "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is used to build momentum in the early stage It happened to be stuck in the part of "The Case of Guillotine Beauty", which has whetted the appetite of the people, and then we only need to pick a date to arrange for the troupe to open on stage."

  Si Teng rolled his eyes at him, took a few sips of tea and said, "Then it will be two days later."

"Two days later." Zhou Ji nodded slightly, looked up at the crowd on the stage and said, "Go back to rest early, and go to the teahouse to get used to the rehearsal of the venue in the next two days. As long as there is no mistake on the opening day, this The monthly salary is doubled!"

   "Thank you boss, thank you lady boss~"

   Zhou Ji gave them a generous salary, and when they heard that it could be doubled, everyone in the troupe was overjoyed. After some commotion, they couldn't help thanking Zhou Ji and Si Teng in unison.

   "Old~ban~mother~~" Zhou Ji turned his head to look at Si Teng, and saw a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, as if infected, and then smiled, "It seems that you like this title very much."

  Si Teng looked at Zhou Ji with weird eyes, held back a smile and pretended to be serious, but his tone always revealed a bit of teasing, "Yes~Madam Boss~~"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhou Ji blinked suspiciously, and wanted to ask again, but saw a fiery red figure dragging a woman in a plain dress flying down from the courtyard wall, and said in surprise: "Introduction What's the matter, girl?"

  Song Yinzhang was a little exhausted when he ran from Maxing Street to the teahouse, and was led by Hongkui to fly over the eaves and over the wall to the suburban pear orchard. As soon as he landed, he felt his feet go limp, and he fell forward with a pale face.

  Zhou Ji hurried forward to support her, but stopped when she raised her hand, and used a ray of mana to support Song Yinzhang in the air, and cooperated with Hongkui to help her up.

   "Sister Paner, something happened to her!"

   "An accident happened again?" Zhou Ji replied subconsciously.

  Hong Kui said beside him: "I just cited Zhang to find the teahouse, saying that in the afternoon, people from the Imperial City Division broke into the 'half-hidden face' to slander Xiao Pan'er as a spy of the enemy country, and forcibly took him away."

   "It seems that the Secretary of the Imperial City is not a piece of metal. Some people want to use Miss Pan'er to threaten the white strip chicken." Zhou Ji pondered for a while, but asked with some doubts, "No, how did Miss Yinzhang escape?"

   "They didn't arrest me. They only arrested Sister Pan'er" Song Yinzhang took it for granted.

   Zhou Ji was both helpless and fortunate.

  Since the other party has decided to use Zhao Pan'er as a breakthrough to entrap Gu Qianfan, they are still so principled.

   When Zhao Paner was arrested, Zhao Paner was arrested, but he didn't want to arrest Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang together, and put him to death on the charge of 'collaborating with the enemy'.

  However, it is a good thing for Zhou Ji and the others that the other party is so simple and kind.

  At least make sure that the other party will not directly kill Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Zhao Pan'er, forge testimony, and forcibly press fingerprints.

   When the time comes, there will be no proof of death, and Gu Qianfan will be implicated in the crime of collaborating with the enemy. There are three testimonies and evidence, and Gu Qianfan is hard to argue.

   "Huh~"

  After listening to Zhou Ji's rational 'analysis' and 'comfort', Hong Kui and Song Yinzhang stepped back, looking at Zhou Ji as if they were looking at strange scum.

   "Hey, what do you think of me? I'm comforting you." Zhou Ji's mouth twitched, and he looked at Si Teng expectantly.

  Si Teng avoided his eyes, took a sip of the tea cup as if no one was there, and didn't look at Zhou Ji at all.

   "Stop talking?"

  Zhou Ji was dumbfounded for a moment, helplessly supported his forehead and said: "Forget it, it's important to rescue Miss Pan'er first."

   "Can I kill people?" Hong Kui went to the Imperial City Department with Zhou Ji last time, and saw the prison cells and torture rooms there, her eyes were shining with fierce red flames.

   "." Zhou Ji restrained his expression, and said with a straight face: "Don't hurt the innocent."

"Yeah." Hongkui glanced at Song Yinzhang, who was dazed and cute beside him, and Zhou Ji said clearly, "Don't worry about Miss Pan'er, sit next to me for a while, and take a rest. to save people."

   "But." Song Yinzhang wanted to say something, but Zhou Ji put his hands on her footsteps, pushed her to Zhou Ji's original position and sat down.

"Don't worry about it, come, have a sip of tea." Zhou Ji blocked Song Yinzhang's gaze when he turned his head, picked up his own cup and opened it for a look, and not far behind him, a red dress was gently blown by the evening wind. Floating, the red sunflower stands facing the wind, stretching out its arms forward, and the empty palms seem to ignite a cluster of flames, extending up and down, as if to illuminate half of the courtyard.

   "What's that?" Song Yinzhang noticed that there seemed to be a red flame shining behind Zhou Ji, accompanied by a roiling heat wave, which made the surrounding air continue to heat up.

  Song Yinzhang leaned over and wanted to look from Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji blocked it with his sleeve holding a teacup in one hand, "It's nothing, maybe you are in a hurry, it's too hot, right?"

   "Is that so?" Song Yinzhang was pure and simple, but he was not mentally handicapped. He stood up and took Zhou Ji's teacup, only to find that the red light had disappeared, and the empty courtyard was vaguely vague.

  The other side of Qionghua's barrier.

The raging flames curled up in the palm of Hongkui turned into a simple dark red longbow. Like electricity, it pierced through the darkness of the night and flew to the sky above the imperial city.

  Inside the Imperial City Division.

  Yu Zhongquan threw away the note in his hand angrily, never expecting that Zhao Pan'er was so keen-minded that he would have discovered his scheme long ago, and replaced the collaborating content on the note with 'the official's life is boundless'.

  Zhao Paner revealed Yu Zhongquan's plan, and said with a sarcasm, "Do you really think that tonight's affairs were done flawlessly? My friend has already run out to report."

"You and Gu Qianfan have already colluded! What you just did was delaying time!" Yu Zhongquan thought that these were all set up for him by Gu Qianfan and Zhao Pan'er, and said angrily: "Okay! Even if I If you can’t survive, I will hold you back!”

  Zhao Pan'er was startled when she saw Yu Zhongquan approaching her murderously.

  Are you a little too confident?

  Yu Zhongquan knew that he was doomed, and already had the idea of ​​dying with her.

  Man is the knife and I am the fish.

  Now Zhao Pan'er is chained hands and feet, facing Zhongquan's murderous intentions, he is completely powerless to resist.

   You know, this is the Imperial City Division.

  The execution room is full of instruments of torture, which can injure or kill!

  Even without a weapon, it is easy to break her neck directly with the means of the opponent's Imperial City Secretary.

However.

  What Zhao Paner did not expect was that the first thing Yu Zhongquan did when he came up was not to break her neck, nor to smash her head with something.

   Instead, he took the initiative to untie the chains on her hands, dragged her to the side of the water tank, and pushed her head into the water to drown.

  Zhao Pan'er choked on a few mouthfuls of water, struggled to raise her head, and got out of the water.

   Just after taking a breath, Yu Zhongquan pushed him into the water again.

   Repeated this several times, until Yu Zhongquan was pulled away, then he drew out his short knife and rushed towards Zhao Pan'er.

  Zhao Pan'er lay weakly beside the water tank, gasping for breath, seeing Yu Zhongquan stabbing him, but he had no strength to dodge.

  Boom~!

  A beam of red light crossed half of Bianjing and fell towards the criminal chamber of the imperial city.

  The ground shook and the roof collapsed.

  Zhao Paner's feet were unsteady, and she fell to the ground, only to see a red light in front of her eyes, which gradually gathered into a thin line and disappeared above Zhongquan's head.

  Yu Zhongquan still maintained the posture of stretching out the knife before stabbing, but the whole person remained motionless, as if he was fixed by something.

   As soon as Gu Qianfan staggered into the torture room, he saw Yu Zhongquan stabbing Zhao Pan'er. Impatient, he subconsciously threw a throwing knife and shot Yu Zhongquan.

At the same time when the flying knife touched Yu Zhongquan, Zhao Pan'er noticed that Yu Zhongquan's originally dull eyes seemed to be ignited with red flames, and then, the faintly familiar red flames burned his whole body into dust and ashes. The evening wind blowing in from the ceiling blows away in front of everyone.

  The flying knife fell into the air, pierced through the floating ashes, and was inserted into the ground with a clang. The trembling blade reflected the roof and swayed gently in the moonlight.

  Zhou Ji raised his eyes to look at the hazy night sky, then looked back at Song Yinzhang and said, "Don't worry, Miss Pan'er will be fine."

  Song Yinzhang said worriedly, "But it's been so long and I'm not to blame. They shouldn't have let them take Sister Pan'er away at that time."

   "Silly girl." Zhou Ji burst out laughing, and dispersed the surrounding enchantment with a flick of his sleeve.

A figure dressed in red appeared in the courtyard again, walked briskly to the table, lifted the tea cover next to Song Yinzhang, took a look, took a drink to the rest of the tea path, "No danger, Xiao Pan'er has already saved."

   "Xiao Kui!"

  Song Yinzhang excitedly said, "Really? Thank God, it's really great!"

  Besides being excited, Song Yinzhang faintly felt that something was wrong.

  She is simple, but not mentally handicapped.

  Liyuan is located on the outskirts of the city, and the Imperial City Secretary is in the city. It takes only a few sentences to say that, even if you fly over the wall, it can't be so fast, right?

   Having known each other for so long, Mr. Zhou, Miss Si Teng, and Xiao Kui are still full of mystery. Since they didn't want to tell him, Song Yinzhang didn't take the initiative to ask.

  It was night now, Zhou Ji invited Song Yinzhang to rest in the Liyuan for a night, and then returned to the city tomorrow, Song Yinzhang regarded Zhao Pan'er as a sister, hesitated for a moment, but declined Zhou Ji's kindness, and went back to Osmanthus Lane overnight to visit before feeling at ease.

  On the other side, the pavilion in the courtyard of Chen Lian's private residence.

  Gu Qianfan's act of pretending not to know Zhao Pan'er just now in the Imperial City Division deeply hurt her distorted self-esteem.

  After some disputes, Zhao Pan'er shook off Gu Qianfan's arm, took a step back, a tear fell from her reddened eyes, and she pretended to smile relaxedly, "Gu Qianfan, you say I'm your deathbed?"

   "What do you think?" Gu Qianfan didn't believe that Zhao Pan'er still didn't understand his intentions.

   At the beginning, Gu Qianfan used PUA methods to imprint Zhao Paner's heart, but as he went to Beijing, he got along all the way and faced the pursuit together. He was in danger several times, but "luckily escaped".

   If it is said that belittling the other party's personality and trampling on the other party's self-esteem is the PUA method he summed up by Xing Xun's criminal process in his daily life.

  The fearful and dangerous environment, the 'suspension bridge effect' that is exciting to a person and breeds love is something he has never experienced before.

"Then what is the relationship between you and me? Do you still remember that I am from a lowly family, and our identities are as different as clouds and mud? What kind of identity and what kind of mentality are you using now? so to me?"

  Zhao Pan'er lowered her eyes and dodged her eyes.

  It seems to feel that the solid shell that I have built for a long time is collapsing and shattering.

  The inferiority and fragility wrapped under the shell made her feel inexplicably uneasy and resistant.

   "Pan'er."

   Gu Qianfan took a step forward, Zhao Paner shook his head and stepped back, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You came to provoke me before you figured it out? Gu Qianfan, who do you think I am, Zhao Paner?"

   "Pan'er, I."

  Zhao Pan'er did not wait for Gu Qianfan to finish, and interrupted again, "Gu Fushi, the night is heavy and dew is heavy, men and women are different. Sorry for the inconvenience, please go back."

   After finishing speaking, Zhao Pan'er returned to the room and closed the door.

"Pan'er, I'm leaving first. There are still important matters to be dealt with in the Xiao Mansion. I will think about what you asked me today before answering you. I will let Chen Lian stay to protect you these days. Do business with confidence”

  Gu Qianfan talked outside the door for a long time but Zhao Paner did not respond. After a moment of silence, he urged: "You are cold, soak in hot soup and have a good rest."

  Gu Qianfan walked out of the corridor, looked back at the beautiful figure reflected in the window, and was about to close the door when he saw two figures coming from the alley.

   "Deputy Envoy Gu? Why are you here?"

  Song Yinzhang looked at Gu Qianfan in surprise, and suddenly realized, "You rescued Sister Pan'er, right? How is she now? Is she injured?"

   Gu Qianfan forced a smile, and explained: "It turned out to be Mrs. Song. Mrs. Zhao was just a little frightened. It's nothing serious. Go back and tell her to make some hot soup to avoid catching the cold."

   "Well~ I've made a note, thank you, Deputy Envoy Gu, for your concern." Song Yinzhang stroked his chest, took a long breath, bowed and saluted, and thanked him again for saving Zhao Pan'er.
