Chapter 255 Midnight Theater and the Black Son of the Thirteen Knights (Please subscribe)
Gong Wu left Saphire Manor.
This duel that shocked everyone came to an end.
It’s not a farce.
Rather, it’s more like a grand performance between geniuses.
The guests had long since lost all their previous thoughts of gloating over the misfortune, and now they all looked at the young man standing aloof with dumbfounded eyes.
Ji Xun stood on a piece of messy grass, tapped the ground with his toes, and shook off the dirt on his leather shoes.
He ignored the gazes of the people around him and calmly arranged his tattered suit.
The coat was torn to pieces, and the white worsted shirt was also torn apart by the muscles due to the exertion of force. At this moment, those strips of cloth were completely unable to cover the knotted muscles of his upper body.
The clothes are so bad that they can’t be worn.
He looked at it and saw that it was too broken to be repaired. Then he let out a "whoosh" and had a strange expression.
It seems to be a pity.
But this scene looks like a different picture to others.
When his clothes were intact before, Ji Xun still looked like an elegant and frail gentleman.
But when these exaggerated muscles appeared at this moment, it gave people a huge contrast of overwhelming strength.
The aura of a strong man made him dazzle more than the most gorgeous crystal chandelier in the banquet hall at this moment.
Ji Xun stood there, his whole person exuding a lion-like aura, and there was no one around him who could compete with him.
Gong Wu’s talent is already unparalleled and astonishing to everyone.
But this one is so dazzling that people can’t look straight at him.
In this battle, Ji Xun proved everything with his strength.
With the power of one person, he conquered all the young talents in the entire Black Gold City.
At this time, Song Yu, who had been worried for a long time, completely ignored the restraint of a lady and ran over holding up the skirt of the dress.
She gave Ji Xun a hug generously, and at the same time she excitedly did not hide her surprise: "Wow Ji Xun, you are really amazing!"
At this moment, those clear eyes were filled with brilliant starlight.
Ji Xun's arms were filled with warmth and jade, and Ji Xun was afraid that she would fall, so he held his arms around her slender waist, elegant and gentlemanly.
Most of the guests did not know the situation of the Song family, nor the origin of Ji Xun.
But looking at him, he knew that this was Song Yu's friend.
And they are very close friends.
“I’m afraid the origin of this young man is not simple. The Song family has become more prosperous this time.”
“Oh, my daughter from Robert’s family is not bad either. Why can’t she meet such an outstanding young man?”
“You can understand the magic solution at the third level, and your strength is so strong. There are only a few in the entire federation. What do you think, old Robert?”
ˆ “.”
The guests changed their previous contempt and were all envious and filled with emotion.
Hearing these words, the elders of the Song family all had ugly expressions.
The outcome of the marriage has already been discussed in the clan elders' association, and Young Master He Ao of the Duke of Ross's family is the best choice.
Even after the discussion came to an end, Ji Xun was brought back as a guest by Song Yu, but no one paid any attention to it.
Instead, it was regarded as "trouble".
They didn’t even invite me.
Even Song Yu’s parents were like this.
Now seeing this result, the expressions of the elders of the Song family all turned green as if they had swallowed flies alive.
At this moment, in a small building not far away.
The Second Master Song, the Fourth Master Song, and several other people in charge of the Song family also hurriedly knocked on the door and came in.
They looked at the old man of the Song family who was standing silently by the window, and each one couldn't wait to express his or her thoughts.
“Old man, that young man named ‘Chaoyang’ probably has a lot of history! I think we need to get in touch.”
"Yes. Fortunately, the matter with the Duke of Ross has not been completely settled, otherwise it would be troublesome."
"Humph, we're not engaged, so what's the deal? I see, now is the right time. Since the young man is willing to fight for Xiao Yu, he must be sincere. Invite him to come and see him later, and ask questions from the other side. The situation at his home.”
"Oh, the fourth child has given birth to a good daughter. I see, Chaoyang must have a good background. He is not the young master of a certain powerful congressman's family, but also an ancient Oran noble. Otherwise, he would definitely not have this background. Really? Once this line is established, our Song family will be able to speak politically."
ˆ “.”
In the end, what businessmen value more is profit.
There are no outsiders here. Facing their old man, the Song family stewards, who have always been calm, excitedly expressed their opinions one by one.
No wonder a few people were so anxious. Only now did they realize that they had gone too far.
In case the "Chaoyang" is really the top aristocratic master who has a very big head, he has never been invited to see it for a day, and it is a little bit worse.
But fortunately Song Yu is here.
There should be no time to remedy the situation now.
However, after talking for a long time, several people looked at the old man by the window and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward.
Finally someone couldn't help but asked: "Father, what do you mean?"
"hehe."
Hearing this, Mrs. Song sneered.
Like self-deprecation.
Also laugh at the person in front of you.
He came back to his senses and looked at the unfulfilling sons in front of him, and said unceremoniously: "Oh, you just know that you are blind?"
ˆ “.”
At this point, several middle-aged people looked embarrassed.
Mr. Song didn’t want to say anything more. He sighed and said, “It’s too late!”
Not only them, the old man himself also made a mistake.
He had met Ji Xun before and knew that most of the business ideas of the Rose Chamber of Commerce came from this young man.
So, the impression is good.
Some knowledge and some strange insights.
I have met him before and he is very nice.
I somewhat appreciate it.
I just didn’t expect that I was wrong.
As for the performance just now, it can no longer be evaluated with the word "excellent".
Now think back to the previous conversation, the sentence "I am not interested in wealth", doesn't it mean that he is not interested in the Song family?
The old man also knew that the matter was irreversible, so he could only sigh.
Ji Xun won, and the attitude of the Song family and guests towards him suddenly changed.
A group of gentry and nobles found various excuses to come up and chat with him.
The upper-class banquet is all about interpersonal relationships.
Don’t care whether you can make friends or not, just become familiar with them and you can strike up a conversation next time you see them.
But Ji Xun has no interest in this kind of interpersonal relationship at all.
Completely ignored what those people meant.
But if you continue to stay in the manor, others can ignore you, and it is difficult for the elders of the Song family to refuse if they want to meet you.
Unfortunately at this time, a steward had already walked over.
Song Yu cleverly captured the hint of displeasure on his expression.
Before the housekeeper came over to invite her, she suggested: "Ji Xun, the banquet is almost over. How about we go out to play? The nights in Black Gold City are quite lively!"
Ji Xun listened to this suggestion and agreed: "Okay."
"Walk!"
With that said, Song Yu took Ji Xun and walked out of the manor.
The butler who was left stunned stood on the spot.
The two of them quickly slipped out of the manor and took a steam train to the city.
In the carriage, Song Yu held Ji Xun's hand and then let go.
The chaebol lady recalled the previous duel, her face still filled with excitement and excitement, "Wow, Ji Xun, how can you be so powerful?"
"well enough"
Ji Xun smiled, recalling the previous battle, his expression was a little strange.
He was still thinking about beating the old man Gong who had been beating him for a hundred years.
I don’t know if the shady old man will come back if he thinks about it later.
Hiss. I'm afraid it hurts a little.
Song Yu stared at that face, always feeling tired of looking at it, like a little fangirl: "You don't know, Mr. Ji Xun, you were so handsome just now!"
Ji Xun listened and joked: "Miss Yu, you have praised me five times tonight."
“That’s what it is.”
Song Yu didn't hold back at all when he heard this, with a playful smile flashing in his eyes.
Steam trains were flowing on the street. Although it was almost midnight, there were still many pedestrians outside the window.
It is full of entertainment and bustling.
At this time, Song Yu suddenly asked: "Where are we going? Well, as for Black Gold City, the bars on Jinmine Street are quite lively, but I rarely go there and I'm not very familiar with them."
Ji Xun glanced out the window out of the corner of his eye, naturally he didn't care, and said casually: "It's all fine."
Song Yu saw the depth in his eyes, remembered something, and suggested, "How about we go to the Goethe Theater to watch the Royal Song and Dance Ensemble's performance?"
Ji Xun said happily: "Yeah."
He is really interested in this.
"good!"
As Song Yu spoke, he asked the driver to drive directly to the theater.
I promised to go to Ji Xun and go see it together.
And she also felt that the time the two of them would spend together might not be long.
If you cannot change and are destined to separate, then let it be less regretful.
The golden neighborhood of Black Gold City is as lively as Downing Street in Innocence City.
The entire street here is filled with various night entertainment cities, including casinos, pubs, **** clubs, and theaters.
It’s a big city after all, the shops look high-end, and there aren’t hordes of gangsters.
He came out in a hurry just now, and Song Yu didn't have time to change out of his gorgeous dress.
She put on a suit jacket, which was luxurious and restrained, but she looked very pretty.
Ji Xun also changed into a suit jacket.
The locomotive stopped at the "Goethe Theater" and as soon as they reached the door, people in the theater recognized the Song family's car.
As soon as the car door opened, several managers with smiling faces were already waiting.
Neither of them likes big ostentation and enters the theater in a low-key manner.
In this world, theater and the like are the pastimes of the upper class, and there is no such elegant entertainment venue in Innocence City.
This is really Ji Xun’s first time in such a place.
He is an actor himself and has some affinity for this kind of place.
Walking and looking around, no matter the design or decoration, there is a strong artistic atmosphere.
Song Yu also saw Ji Xun's interest and liked him very much. He introduced: "The Goethe Theater is the resident theater of the Royal Song and Dance Ensemble, so the architectural decoration is in the style of the Oran Dynasty. Those oil paintings, porcelain and so on, They are also old objects. Well, that oil painting is called [Palace Terrace]. It is said that it was a famous painting hung by the bedside of the last King of Oran."
"Really?"
Ji Xun also found it interesting and looked over.
The painting shows some naked women taking a bath. They are the concubines of the king's harem.
There is nothing sentimental about it, most of the oil paintings from the Oran period are in this style.
Ji Xun's art appreciation ability is not bad. He can tell at a glance that this painting is really beautiful, and the technique and artistic conception are wonderful.
Walking along the way, I also saw a lot of antiques.
It was like visiting a museum, with antiques accumulated over time along the way. Ji Xun felt very subtle in his heart.
Of course he also noticed that Song Yu's arm beside him had been holding his arm and never let go.
The theater steward led the two of them to the VIP private room on the second floor of the theater.
The private room is very cleverly designed. Looking here is the best angle to see the stage below, but others cannot see the people in the private room.
Taking care of the best viewing angle and taking care of the privacy of guests.
The first floor is densely packed with ordinary seats.
“Ms. Song, the next show is the classic musical “Swans of Lake Best.” You can enjoy it in five minutes.”
"OK, thanks."
The steward took a playlist and briefly introduced it, and then left consciously.
There are soft sofas in the private room, as well as exquisite fruits and snacks. The two of them sat down and waited for the show to begin.
It didn’t take long for the music to start.
The roof of the theater is designed very cleverly. The distance and stage are just right for the sound to reverberate, clear and thick.
The spotlight shines on, the curtain opens, and a group of graceful dancers enter the stage happily.
Just watching the opening scene, you can completely distinguish it from a vulgar performance.
More than a dozen dancers are turning their graceful postures in the melodious or melodious dance music, soft and beautiful.
˜No matter from the appearance of the actors, the music, the stage background, or the lighting.
From all aspects, there is nothing to fault.
But Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at it.
Because he has seen it.
Isn’t this the song that was performed at the opening of Honglou?
“It turns out she prepared it specially.”
When Ji Xun saw this piece, he realized that Hong Lou's performance was not accidental.
Rather, Song Yu memorized the first stage play they watched together a hundred years ago, and then copied it to Hong Lou, waiting for him to show up.
After all, it is a classic piece. Song Yu has watched it several times. Although she still thinks it looks good, what she is more concerned about at the moment is Ji Xun's thoughts.
Looking at the unexplainable calmness in his expression, the girl asked: "What's wrong? You don't like it?"
Ji Xun smiled slightly: "I like it. It's pretty good-looking."
Hearing the response, Song Yu's pretty face suddenly brightened up, "Yeah! I think it looks good too!"
The moment he saw this smile, Ji Xun's eyes froze, as if his soul was throbbing for a moment.
Many years ago, he found that he was unable to feel the comfort that normal emotions bring to his soul in ordinary life. So he has been pursuing excitement, trying to find the meaning of life from the excitement of the soul.
This choice also left him in a morbid mental state for a long time.
Even though I have now practiced spiritual mystical methods to suppress mental distortion, certain emotions still cannot be compensated.
But just now, he suddenly felt an indescribable pleasure.
Pleasure in the ordinary.
Song Yu also realized that he was being stared at, so he blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun finally recovered from that state and smiled brightly: "Miss Yu looks very good tonight."
“Thank you~”
Song Yu smiled happily.
A smile bloomed on her cheeks like pink roses, and in her graceful eyes, there was happiness from the bottom of her heart.
She also joked: "Hahahaha. Mr. Ji Xun also praised me five times tonight~"
The performance of "The Swan of Best Lake" was quickly completed, followed by several more song and dance shows.
The quality of the performances is very high.
Most of the actors in the Royal Song and Dance Ensemble are dancers, and the artistic content of their performances is very high.
Looking back again, although Ji Xun himself is an actor, he has never watched a play as quietly as he did now.
He also found it pleasing to the eye.
Song Yu liked him and was in a good mood.
Not long after, it was already midnight.
The lights in the theater also became dim, a faint orange light lit up on the stage, and a charming fragrance filled the air.
Song Yu's eyes were full of novelty and anticipation, and he said nervously: "It seems that the midnight theater is about to start."
I have always heard of it, but I have never seen it before.
If she hadn't agreed to Ji Xun's request, she probably wouldn't have mustered up the courage to come and see it.
Ji Xun is also looking forward to it. Downing Street has seen too many **** performances, and he is curious about what a midnight show in the upper class will be like.
The announcer also announced the performance: "The next play is our troupe's new play "The Elegy of King Oran", please enjoy it."
The scenery on the stage was quickly changed to a classical palace style.
And then there’s actually a huge bath?
The lyrics full of ambiguous hints were also sung by the actor in a beautiful voice: "Last night I stayed in St. Petersburg, and the girl's eyes were full of passion."
Ji Xun looked at the scenery on the stage and immediately thought: Isn’t this the scene from the previous oil painting [Palace Terrace]?
Song Yu on the side was obviously surprised and asked directly: "Ji Xun, is this the one in the oil painting?"
Before she could be surprised as to why the performance required such a stage, light and shadow passed by, and several actresses in palace dresses walked onto the stage.
Under the service of the maid, they naturally took off their clothes and walked into the clear bath naked.
He was still reciting lines in his mouth.
“Oh, the number of times I can see His Majesty has really become less and less recently”
“Yes. I heard that the rebellion of the lords in the south was very bad.”
ˆ “.”
Song Yu was stunned by this scene.
Opening lightning strike.
Those actresses have wonderful figures, and the white patches are displayed in front of their eyes without any cover-up.
Ji Xun was slightly stunned when he saw it. While admiring the beautiful picture, he was even more amazed at the cleverness of the layout!
The costumes, expressions, and temperaments of the actors are exactly the same as in the [Palace Terrace] oil painting, as if the oil painting has been reflected in reality.
With the blessing of lighting and vocal music, the actors seemed to have stepped out of an oil painting.
This feeling shocked Ji Xun inexplicably. How could a stage play be performed like this?
“The director of this stage play is a master.”
Ji Xun felt really refreshed when he saw it.
The actors on the stage are very professional. Although they are not naked, they completely show off their curvy figures to the audience.
But it doesn’t look vulgar at all. Instead, it makes people feel like they have traveled a hundred years ago and witnessed the real scene of the concubines in Oran’s harem bathing.
It makes people feel as if they have stepped into an epic.
In the eyes of Ji Xun, a professional actor, the screenwriter, scenery, and actors are all very professional!
He couldn't help but praise: "It's so wonderful."
Song Yu on the side had not seen the midnight show yet, and originally felt a little embarrassed, especially with Ji Xun next to him.
But after hearing this, she suddenly felt less embarrassed, and the blush on her cheeks disappeared, and she replied: "Well, those sisters have good figures too."
There has always been a threshold for the appreciation of art. A girl like Song Yu cannot appreciate such a stage play with ambiguous implications.
What she could understand was that those actors had better figures than her.
The response from the audience was also very enthusiastic.
After hearing this, Ji Xun turned his attention from art to figure and responded: "Well, it's really good."
Leaving aside the artistic content, the visual aspect is also a great enjoyment.
The Oran Dynasty mostly prizes plumpness as beauty, and the actors’ figures all have the kind of charming and mature figures that are bulging forward and curvy at the back.
Moreover, the facial features of the actors in the Royal Song and Dance Ensemble are one of a kind.
The palace skirt is gone, the sound of water is heard, the screen is full of long legs, the waves are surging slightly, and the eyes are filled with the sense of déjà vu of Spartacus.
also cleverly allows the audience to enter the perspective of the king, admiring the exquisite figures of the queens that only the king can see.
Role-playing, harem drama, epic. Details are everywhere.
It is this subtle setting that Ji Xun thinks is the most important aspect of this stage play.
In a blink of an eye, the stage was filled with spring scenery.
Whether it is the "concubines" or the maids, all of them are naked. From top to bottom, you can see them at a glance.
Hand fat and thin, no matter which one you look at, your eyes are full of spring.
As the lights slowly brightened, the atmosphere in the theater also warmed up.
When Song Yu heard what Ji Xun said, he blinked and asked curiously: "Mr. Ji Xun likes this?"
Ji Xun looked at her and smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Song Yu always felt that that smile made her a little unconfident, so she muttered: "Ah, it turns out that this is what men like about Midnight Theater."
Ji Xun's calmness made her realize that there seemed to be nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, this is only the beginning.
The plot then unfolded.
The audience was carefully admiring the actor's figure, but Ji Xun was listening to the lines.
This play is about the fall of the Oran Dynasty, and he always finds it interesting.
The naked concubines were still chatting.
“I heard that the lords in the south hired a killer group called the ‘Thirteen Knights’, and they are already heading towards Dragon City.”
“Oh, those mean assassins, they’re as disgusting as gutter rats.”
“Where is the sound of gunfire coming from?”
“Oh no, the rebels are attacking the city.”
ˆ “.”
The bathhouse suddenly became panicked.
Suddenly the plot reversed.
From the **** bathing scene, it turned into a group of soldiers dressed as actresses in armor rushing in.
They attacked the concubines!
“Hahaha, these women are our ‘Thirteen Knights’!”
“Oh, only women and treasures are the favorites of our Thirteen Knights~”
ˆ “.”
Various scenes of the 18th Forbidden Period were staged.
Just now I was just enjoying it, now it’s completely live broadcast.
During the struggle, the armored soldiers' robes were torn apart and turned into white flowers, making people dizzy in panic.
Although the stage was full of actresses, the performances could not stand up to the superb performances.
Lights and sound effects, as well as the fascinating aroma in the air, all stimulate people's senses.
Even Ji Xun found it very exciting when he saw it. He had never had such an experience before.
Song Yu on the side was stunned when she saw it. As a young girl, how had she ever seen such a scene before?
Her cheeks felt like they were on fire, and her neck unconsciously turned red.
And at this time, she also found that her hand had been holding Ji Xun's hand, and a large area of skin was close to her very intimately.
The dress has a low-cut neckline design, which touches the large areas of the chest.
Song Yu thought of the previous scene in the mithril mine where the two had close contact in the illusion.
After reacting, she felt a little embarrassed and seemed to think she should pull her hand away?
But I feel that it is more embarrassing to withdraw at this moment.
It was a lady's reserve to want to pull her hand out, but after being stuck in her thoughts for a while, she felt that it was not impossible.
It’s Mr. Ji Xun. What does it matter if we get closer?
And she also clearly noticed some subtle changes in Ji Xun's body. That subtle tacit understanding suddenly made Song Yu bolder.
She did not pull away her hand, but hugged her even closer, saying with a touch of teasing: "Ah, Mr. Ji Xun likes midnight shows very much, right?"
Ji Xun obviously felt his arm sinking into softness, and glanced at her: "Yes."
Song Yuxiang was completely unaware and didn't care about that kind of intimacy. His crimson lips slightly opened: "Just like it~"
Ji Xun certainly doesn’t mind either.
“Mr. Ji Xun, which actor do you think has the best figure?”
“It’s all good.”
“Do you have to comment on one?”
“The dark-haired one on the right, the maid on the left, the queen in the bath”
“Are there so many?”
“Beauty is in the skin and in the bones, and beauty will change in different scenes. The performances of these three are the most realistic, natural, and of course the most beautiful.”
“Really? Why do I think which female guard with a torn top is the best?”
“It’s not bad. Also, it’s not big, but it’s good-looking. Your aesthetics are a bit more Oran classical style”
“Oh. Mr. Ji Xun, do you prefer those with long legs? Or do you prefer plump ones?”
"soul!"
???”
“Miss Yu, you don’t need to compare with others, you are already very beautiful.”
“Oh really? Thank you Mr. Ji Xun. Happy~”
ˆ “.”
The atmosphere of chatting became more and more relaxed.
From time to time, the two of them can admire and judge which of the white bodies of the actors on the stage is more beautiful.
"Damn you guys, let go of those women! Even though the royal family is defeated, they can't be killed but not humiliated!"
“The Thirteen Knights are just a bunch of despicable robbers who took advantage of the situation!”
ˆ “.”
The plot reverses again later.
A group of righteous rebels came and stopped the Thirteen Knights.
The lines are exaggerated, but the message to be conveyed is conveyed well, implying that the Thirteen Knights are just a group of raping, raping, and plundering robbers, but the "rebels" are the heroes.
oh!
Right!
The rebels back then are now the major congressmen.
This is a tribute to them.
Although the picture is still beautiful, the plot that should be expressed has been expressed.
Ji Xun is someone who has carefully watched the plot. After reading it, he couldn’t help complaining: "Holy shit, all the Thirteen Knights are women! Also, this screenwriter is causing trouble!"
This plot may look like this to others.
But Ji Xun is someone who has really come into contact with the Thirteen Knights.
Although those guys are mysterious and killers, they are definitely not from the evil camp.
Kuroko!
This screenwriter is a perfect match for Thirteen Knights!
Ji Xun always felt something strange when he looked at it.
Sure enough, history is written by those in power.
After decades of acting like this, the message that people are exposed to is that the Thirteen Knights are representatives of evil.
Public opinion changes historical facts.
Ji Xun was filled with emotion as he watched it.
From the information he knew, the Thirteen Knights paid a huge price for overthrowing the Oran Dynasty two hundred years ago.
If they hadn't killed a bunch of Oran Palace royal ministers at the cost of most of the casualties, the rebels might not have been able to capture the royal city.
However, what Ji Xun didn't expect was.
At this moment, in a warehouse behind the theater, a guy wearing glasses suddenly twitched his nose and sneezed.
“That’s weird, is anyone scolding me?”
These glasses are none other than the playwright of the Goethe Theater.
The "spot" in Ji Xun's eyes.
The new play "The Lament of King Oran" currently being performed was written by him himself.
However, the screenwriter’s status in the theater company is very low.
His writing room is only worthy of being in a warehouse filled with barley.
I don’t care about my glasses at all.
He was carefully reading the thick pile of newspapers on the table.
The above is reporting on the recent war between Earl Fremont and Senator Bourne.
He murmured to himself: "How could the Blood Plague be suppressed so quickly? And how could the Rose Chamber of Commerce escape from Bolton Town? Was there any external interference?"
“It’s strange. How could there be flaws in the ‘world’ I deduced?”
After pondering for a long time, the man with glasses suddenly seemed to understand something: "Intervention beyond the current cognitive power? Time or the law of space?"
Suddenly, as if a sudden inspiration came to him, he wrote this sentence in the script: "There are fifty laws in the universe, forty-nine are orderly, and one is disordered."
If you find a typo, select "Correction" to cause trouble for everyone~
