At this time, Du Lisi also arrived, followed by the four gunners: Chasing Life, Iron Hand, Cold-blooded, and Ruthless.
"Deputy Commander Du, I have been waiting here for a long time." Zhang Xiluan cupped his fists and said with a smile.
"Master Zhang, it's a bit far to go down here. I'm a step late. I hope you can forgive me." Du Lisi was polite to Zhang Xiluan and bowed.
"Vice Commander Du, being able to abandon the dark side and surrender to the imperial court today is truly a blessing to the place and a blessing to the imperial court." Zhang Xiluan said.
"Master Zhang, I still have a few issues to discuss with you regarding the recruitment. If you can all agree with me, you can submit to the imperial court." Du Lisi said.
"As long as you are willing to submit to the imperial court, everything will be fine," Zhang Xiluan said, looking at the four gunners behind Du Lisi, and asked, "Who are these behind you?"
"Oh, they are my men." Du Lisi said.
"We are all a family now. Is there anything worried about Deputy Commander Du?" Zhang Xiluan asked.
"Oh, that's not the case," Du Lisi said with a bit of worry on his face when he said this, "You guys can move around freely, you don't have to follow me."
"Yes." The four said in unison.
"Vice Commander Du is running the army well. He has submitted to the imperial court and will have great potential in the future." Zhang Xiluan said.
"Master Zhang, thank you very much." Du Lisi also showed some humility.
Zhang Xiluan held Zhang Tianhe with one hand and Du Lisi with the other and said, "The stage has been set up. Let's go to the theater first. We'll talk about other matters later."
In order to welcome Du Lisi's arrival, Zhang Xiluan specially ordered people to set up a large open-air stage on the west side of the gate of the government office. Today, the place is more lively than the Chinese New Year, and it can be said that the officials and the people are enjoying themselves.
At this time, the stage was crowded with people, the actors had already appeared on the stage, and the first song was "The Romance of the West Chamber".
At this moment, a sergeant came over and said to Zhang Xiluan: "Sir, my wife is sick, please come over."
"Oh? If you don't get sick early, you won't get sick late. But you got sick now." Zhang Xiluan said.
"Sir, since you have something to do, go ahead and do your work and don't worry about us." Du Lisi said.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. I'll be here in a moment," Zhang Xiluan turned to Zhang Tianhe and said, "Tianhe, Deputy Commander Du is also your ally, so I'll entertain you."
"Yes, sir." Zhang Tianhe said.
After Zhang Xiluan finished speaking, he left.
In the first row in front of the stage, there are two seats. The backrests of the seats are very high. The seats are covered with red cushions. On the right is Zhang Tianhe's seat, and on the left is Du Lisi's seat. It says All have names.
The two of them took their seats.
Du Lisi saw that it was hard to say anything in this situation, so he had no choice but to watch the show.
But where does he have the time to watch a show?
Zhang Tianhe's eyes were narrowed, as if he was listening with great concentration.
However, what made Du Lisi feel strange was that Zhang Tianhe was obviously not as tall as him, but when he was sitting on his seat, Zhang Tianhe looked half a head taller than him. In front of everyone, he seemed much more majestic than him.
He looked at it for a long time and couldn't see the reason.
In fact, this is simple. Zhang Tianhe asked someone to put two bricks under the cushion of the seat in advance, and that was it. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure, he just wanted to compare Du Lisi to the details, and he had to overpower him in every aspect.
At this time, "The Romance of the West Chamber" has ended, and the upcoming performance is "Li Kui Bearing the Jing".
"Li Kui Bears the Jing" is a drama created by Kang Jinzhi in the Yuan Dynasty.
This story is about Wang Lin, the owner of a hotel in Xinghuazhuang near Liangshan, who was robbed of his daughter Mantangjiao by villains pretending to be Song Jiang and Lu Zhishen. When Li Kui came to the shop to drink, Wang Lin cried to him. Li Kui was furious after hearing this and went back to the mountain to scold Song Jiang. In order to clarify the facts, Song Jiang went down the mountain to confront him. After Li Kui realized his mistake, he went back to the mountain to apologize to Song Jiang. It happened that the two villains sent Mantangjiao home again. Wang Lin went up the mountain to report the news, and Song Jiang immediately assigned Li Kui to go down the mountain to arrest him, so that his merits would be extinguished.
I saw that Li Kui's face was full of beards, and his face was painted as black as a pot of iron. He was holding two axes in his hands. However, the axes looked a bit smaller, and the man who played Li Kui was not very tall.
The man who played Song Jiang actually looked taller and darker.
The two of them looked a little funny, but they acted very well.
"Okay!" When the performance reached its climax, bursts of warm applause broke out from the audience.
At this moment, "Li Kui" was seen kneeling on the stage to plead guilty to "Song Jiang", and "Song Jiang" supported him with both hands. As soon as that "Li Kui" stood up, he suddenly shook his hand, and a cold light flashed. He actually threw the ax in his hand and went straight to Du Lisi's face.
Since both Du Lisi and Zhang Tianhe were sitting in the front row, relatively close to the stage, the ax arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Brother, be careful!" Zhang Tianhe shouted.
Du Lisi watched helplessly as the ax came towards him. He was shocked and quickly tilted his head to the left, and the ax was nailed to the backrest behind him.
Before Du Lisi could react, the second ax arrived again. Seeing that it was not good, he tilted his head to the right again, and the ax passed close to his ear.
Before he could stand up, the third ax arrived again, heading straight for his throat.
Even though Du Lisi had extraordinary abilities, he was so close and caught off guard and couldn't dodge in time.
Du Lisi knew that his shortcomings lay in his large size and lack of flexibility. What's more, the match with Zhang Tianhe just now also consumed a lot of energy. At this moment, he had no choice but to wait for death.
At this critical moment, someone flew up and kicked the ax in front of him away.
Du Lisi took a look and realized that this person was none other than Zhang Tianhe.
"There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly!" Zhang Tianhe shouted.
When those who came to watch the show heard that there was an assassin, they immediately became confused and stopped watching the show and ran for their lives.
At this time, Chen Jia led the guards and rushed over. He saw the "Li Kui" on the stage and thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Du Lisi's four major gunners also arrived.
"Commander Zhang, are you okay?" Chen Jia asked.
"I'm fine, go catch the assassins quickly, don't let them escape." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Yes!" Chen Jia agreed and went after the fake Li Kui.
But that "Li Kui" was no ordinary person. If it weren't for Zhang Tianhe's kick, he would have succeeded. Seeing that the situation was not good, he pulled "Song Jiang" and ran away in the chaos.
At this time, Zhang Xiluan also arrived at the scene with his soldiers. After seeing Zhang Tianhe and Du Lisi, he quickly asked: "Commander Zhang, Deputy Commander Du, are you not injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. We are fine." Du Lisi said.
"It's okay," Zhang Xiluan turned around and asked Wang Shigui, one of his followers, "Where did the assassin come from? Have you caught him?"
