Chen Bai nodded and said, "What if he is not at the banquet?"

Su Fang frowned and said: "If we can't meet him, you don't have to stay long. You just need to make sure that the master is safe and sound. I will make arrangements for the future."

Chen Baiqi remained silent and stared.

What Su Fang didn't know was that tonight would probably not be a simple sensual banquet, and even she could not predict the sudden changes in the situation.

And she had to think carefully about how to act appropriately.

——

It was a dark night, and the doors in the alleys of Yinli Hutong were closed. There was no one on the street, and the shadows of the trees were swaying. Occasionally, one or two barking dogs could be heard. The alleys were silent, and the moonlight shone brightly on the ground, casting a patch of silver frost on the ground.

The band members bent down and walked quickly, cautiously following a group of people into Yinli Hutong. Although they had deliberately suppressed the sound of their footsteps, in this completely silent night, the sound of soles stepping on the ground was still very clear.

Chen Baiqi and others who were mixed in the music troupe were not that eye-catching, because each of the thirty or so young girls in the music troupe had dressed up very carefully for the grand occasion of this night.

Most of them are commoner women. They come from poor backgrounds and have worked in the fields, so their skin color is copper-black. Occasionally, some of them are naturally fairer, but their looks are very ordinary. Just because they have practiced dancing, they all have good figures and are graceful and graceful.

The sleeves are graceful and still very beautiful.

In order to blend into the music team, Chen Baiqi naturally applied a layer of even black ash to cover up. Although Sijiang's skin was fair, her appearance was ordinary and her temperament was restrained, so there was nothing special about her.

Gou Er's skin color is average, tanned to a wheat color, but he has thin eyebrows and moon-shaped eyes. He is considered well-proportioned, but his figure is not feminine and graceful enough. Compared with those Lucky Girls, he is completely unattractive.

All in all, these three "men" were mixed in the music group, and their image was very ordinary.

When they entered "Ruyifang", they were first searched to see if they were carrying any illegal items, and then they were released.

With their status as entertainers, they were naturally led in through the back door. The back door opened with a bronze wooden door, and it was dark inside. A dark path extended to the first floor, and the light gradually became brighter from here. Plants were planted under the balcony.

There are layers of lotus leaves, and in front of the pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, and long corridors and winding bridges, there is a bright light and noisy people, which is different from the quiet darkness here.

Chen Baiqi only raised his head for a glance, then lowered his eyes again.

"There are many military guards standing outside the wall of Ruyifang, and there are also quite a few standing under the trees inside the wall, which is a bit unusual." Si Jiang glanced around her beautiful eyes and whispered to Chen Bai.

Chen Baiqi looked around and saw that there were many people hiding under the elm and poplar trees in the pond, but due to the dim light, it was difficult for ordinary people to spot them.

Gou Er narrowed his eyes, raked his face, and muttered: "When I came here before, there were no guards outside Ruyi Square. If there were so many guards, how could I dare to get in through the dog hole."

Chen Baiqi glanced at him: "Gou Er, if something happens in a while, you don't have to worry about me. You are smart and agile, so you can find a way out first."

When Gou Er heard this, his heart jumped suddenly and his throat became tight.

Hey hey...what do you mean?

The music group entered from the "right door" and came to a spacious room. They arranged various musical instruments, put up shelves and hung up the clothes they wanted to change into.

The leader of this music group is a rich-looking middle-aged man with short stature, small eyes, big nose, and thin lips. Judging from his appearance, he is a powerful and treacherous person.

This music troupe is here to accompany and dance to the "Hunan Girl".

Being able to hire a music troupe to perform a dance for her, I have to say that this "Hunan girl" has a good status in Ruyifang.

If Ruyi Ji is the pillar of Ruyi Square, then this "Hunan girl" can be regarded as the third leader even if she is not the second in command. Although her reputation is not as good as that of Ruyi Ji, she can still get around in Xianyang City with her good voice.

Come up with the title "Crying Parrot".

And this time, I don’t know if Xiang Nu wants to compete with Ruyi Ji or if she wants to try a route that she has never tried before. She is also planning to dance, and it will be instrumental music, singing, and dancing, and one person will play the role of the triangle.

After hearing this, Chen Baiqi had only one thought - this is really a great person.

The performance of "Hunan Girl" was scheduled before Ruyi Ji, and Chen Baiqi was a little worried - what if the performance was early, Gongziji and Mengchangjun hadn't arrived yet, but she ended up performing? What should he do?

"Hey, Chen Langjun, I, I'm a rough guy, I don't know how to play percussion at all, what should I do next?" A swordsman naughtily came to Chen Baiqi's side and whispered urgently.

Su Fang didn't come for this operation, so he told him to follow "Chen Huanxian's" arrangements in everything.

Chen Baiqi was interrupted from thinking, and when he heard such words again, he wanted to roll his eyes.

She doesn't understand either.

"If anyone is watching, knock three times lightly and once hard. If no one is paying attention, then don't knock." Chen Baiqi said casually.

His score of flat drums was just about right, and the "Hunan girl" had her own musical instruments, so she only needed other musicians to cooperate in the key parts, and the time was very short, so there was no need to worry too much.

Of course, in order to make a splash on stage, she chose to keep it a secret as to what kind of musical instruments this "Hunan girl" had prepared. Naturally, they didn't know either.

The swordsman suddenly became enlightened and let out a long "oh", probably understanding.

Chen Baiqi ignored him, but heard him say cautiously: "Chen Langjun, you act like a sister-in-law when you pretend to be a sister-in-law. I didn't notice anything was wrong at all. It's just that you painted it too dark. It's not as good as you are."

She looks good."

He looked straight at her face.

Chen Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and squinted his eyes: "A man is determined to achieve great things, so why should he care about his appearance."

The swordsman was stunned by her cold look, and his whole dark face suddenly turned red.

He stammered: "No, don't worry..." That's weird.

He was wrong, so wrong! Mr. Chen, who was dressed as a woman, didn't look good at first glance, but with just a glance and a curl of her lips, her face came to life.

Therefore, even if his face is painted like black coal, he is still different from these gangsters!

In the next period of time, Chen Baiqi found that many swordsmen pretending to be handymen or musicians would always come to her for various weird reasons. They would be stunned for a while, and then they would have all kinds of weird expressions, flushed faces, and heavy breathing.

Run away.

Chen Baiqi: "..." I'm sick.

Si Jiang and Gou Er are the dancers who accompany the Hunan girls. The handymen can no longer place any people. Only this profession can squeeze out two positions. When it comes to dancing, Chen Baiqi is really worried that these two people can't take it.

I can handle this technical job.

The two said they would adapt to the situation after they get on stage.

Anyway, the class leader didn't know whether it was because of some private agreement with Su Fang, but he took extra care of them. He knew that the two of them were here to have fun, so he arranged for them to appear in the last scene, so there were only two dance moves.

One is to turn the sleeves up and toss, and the other is to turn in circles.

It's simple, basically there is no technical content at all except to make the whole movement beautiful and smooth.

The class leader found a dancer to demonstrate it once, and then asked the two of them to practice closely.

But just for these two simple movements, Si Jiang and Gou Er practiced it dozens of times but failed.

The class leader looked on from the side, gritting his teeth and gasping for air. He probably wanted to roar and spit fire several times, but he finally endured it.

Chen Baiqi saw that the dancer looked arrogant and complacent. Except for the beginning of the performance, which was considered to be a satisfactory teaching, the rest of the "casual" guidance was actually all nitpicking.

She looked at Si Jiang and Gou Er again, both of whom had reached the limit of their patience. She sighed deeply and stepped forward to give them advice in person.

"Look carefully, you don't need to be 100% like it for a while, a 50% likeness is enough to cope with it."

She made the two of them watch happily.

This sleeve throwing requires a side bend. Chen Baiqi had some talent in dancing under the intimidation of "Ji Yan" before, and the most important thing in dancing is graceful movements.

When she lowered her waist, she raised her eyes and flicked her cloud sleeves in her palms. The movement was agile, elegant and elegant. Then she twisted up, pointed her toes, and turned in a circle. Her neck was as graceful as a goose, and the hem of her clothes spread like light snowflakes in the sky.

"Do you understand?"

She pulled back, stood up straight and looked at the two of them.

But she saw Si Jiang and Gou Er looking at her, dumbfounded.

Not only that, the surroundings that had been so busy and noisy suddenly became eerily quiet.

Chen Baiqi turned around and found that everyone had stopped moving, as if they had been pressed a pause button, and stared at her blankly.

She frowned, feeling quite puzzled.

"How……"

"Who allowed you to dance here? Well, there are no rules or regulations. Class leader, she will not be allowed to go on stage for a while!"

Suddenly, a delicate yet melodious female voice sounded from behind everyone.

The class leader was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a group of people coming to the door from nowhere.

Standing in front of two rows of maids, was a girl with graceful appearance and light body, holding a fan. Her long hair was coiled into a bun, without any jewelry. Even her whole body was very plain, except for the smudge on her face.

The fox mask brings together all her mystery and elegance.

The fox mask is completely white, with only the long and narrow fox eyes painted with red lines, which is eerie and strangely beautiful.

This person... is Xiang Nu, a girl who covers her face with a fox mask and thrives in "Ruyi Fang" with just her singing voice.

No one knows what she looks like or why she wears a fox mask.

As soon as the Xiang girl appeared, the class leader seemed to be shorter. He rushed forward to make fun of her and said: "Girl, she...she is actually a musician, she..."

The Xiang girl suddenly used her bamboo fan to hold the class leader's words that she wanted to speak on behalf of Chen Bai. She seemed to be smiling, her red lips under the mask were like flames, and her voice was soft and cool: "No matter who she is, you are my joy."

Team, if I don’t give my permission, she can’t go on stage, do you understand?”

The class leader's face paled immediately and he nodded subconsciously.

Ha~ The Xiang girl chuckled. Her sweet laughter was mesmerizing, but also made her feel chilled inexplicably.

The Xiang girl clapped her bamboo fan on her hand and said, "This time I won't allow any mistakes in my performance, otherwise... none of you will have a good time, do you understand?"
