"Um……"

Murong Qing pondered for a moment, as if he was speculating whether his idea was feasible. After thinking it through, he finally said, "I hope you can cooperate with me to stage a play at my father's birthday party. If this matter is done, I can give you a reward of 100 taels of silver. How about it?"

"100 taels of silver?"

When Zuo Yang heard this reward, the first thought that appeared in his mind was: I'll go to your uncle, let's send the beggar, right?

However, even though he thought so in his heart, he knew very well that this was actually a good thing, because it meant... he would be able to enter Murong Villa openly and participate in this birthday party. In fact, even if he was not given a reward, he would accept it.

I just don’t know what kind of play Murong Qing wants to act. If this play is related to his personal safety or may cause great trouble, especially if he has formed a bond with the leader of the martial arts world, Lin Tiannan and the four major families, he still needs to consider it. After all, although his identity has not been exposed, at any time, he still represents Yihua Palace.

Once the martial arts leader and the four major families are attracted by the attention of the martial arts leader, it should not be difficult for them to investigate his identity.

"I think it's too little?"

Seeing Zuo Yang's reaction, Murong Qing frowned slightly and asked.

"If it's just a simple task and won't cause any trouble for me, it's not a small matter. Let's talk about what kind of drama you want to act first?"

Zuo Yang smiled and said.

It is better to pretend to be cowardly first. In fact, from the attitude Murong Qing talks with him and the rewards he gives, this guy actually just treats him as an insignificant little shrimp. Since that's the case, let's temporarily play a little shrimp with no experience in the world and get in.

As long as he successfully sneaks in, it is not something that Murong Qing can control, so Zuo Yang will act according to the opportunity.

"It's very simple. Just play a thief who wants to sneak into the birthday party. I will take you down with my own hands and let you go after it comes out. You can leave with the reward."

Murong Qing smiled slightly and said.

"Then should I play a thief who knows martial arts, or a thief who knows martial arts?"

Zuo Yang asked immediately.

“Is there a difference?”

Murong Qing asked in confusion, and he had never thought about this question.

"If you are a thief who knows martial arts, then you are a small character. If I don't resist, just grab me and take it out. The reward of 100 taels of silver is enough. Of course, there is no way to show that your martial arts are superb."

Zuo Yang winked and smiled, "If it is a martial arts thief, I can play a few moves with you. If you are willing to cooperate, I can also fight you to a difficult time. Finally, you will take me down. This will give you a chance to perform in front of many heroes... Of course, this reward will naturally be added, so I will make some hard money."

The words have just finished.

"This is good, this is good! Brother, please add some more money to let Uncle Lin and those families know how powerful you are!"

Murong Xian next to him was already screaming excitedly. The second version was obviously much more interesting than the first version. By the way, her eyes looked at Zuo Yang less resentment, but she became more interested out of thin air.

“No need.”

But Murong Qing rejected the proposal coldly, "You just need to be caught honestly by me, and you don't have to add a show to yourself."

"Brother, you are so boring."

Murong Xian muttered with a puffed mouth.

"Oh well."

Zuo Yang just responded with a very service consciousness, and then asked, "But I don't understand, since you don't want to perform, why do you have to spend money to ask me to cooperate with you in such a play?"

"This is not something you should care about. Just do as I say and follow me."

Murong Qing said expressionlessly.

...

After a while, Zuo Yang had already entered Murong Villa with Murong Qing, and then headed straight to the birthday banquet hall.

At this moment, the banquet had not started yet, and the servants and maids were carrying all kinds of fruits and vegetables in and out, carefully making some arrangements.

"You are here, don't walk around, Xian'er, you are here... with him."

After Murong Qing settled down like this, he began to get busy, directing the servants and maids to speed up, and then found something that was not good and convenient to correct it in time.

It seems that this birthday party was handed over to him to prepare. Who said he was the young master of Murong Villa?

And the paused "accompany him" Zuo Yang felt that it could be understood as "looking at him" or "surveillance him". After all, since this matter is a "play", too many people cannot know about it.

Through what happened just now, Murong Xian obviously had some "favorites" towards Zuo Yang that ordinary people could not understand. He agreed to Murong Qing. When he saw him leave, he immediately looked at Zuo Yang with a smile and said, "Hey, I can't tell you are quite interesting. It's very different from my brother and the woods in the village. How long have you been in the world?"

"There are some days."

Zuo Yang answered absent-mindedly while looking at the surrounding environment.

This is a rectangular hall, with five rectangular low tables that are not tall near the north.

One of them is placed horizontally, and there is a huge gold-inlaid word "Shou" written on the wall behind it. According to the custom of the Celestial Empire, it is the main position, which is where Murong Qianqiu, the head of Murong Villa, will sit; the remaining four are placed vertically. If you guess correctly, it must be where Lin Tiannan, the leader of the martial arts world, and the remaining three major families sit.

The remaining places are ordinary round tables, and the dishes and tableware on them are significantly lower than those on the square table. They should be prepared for some less important guests and disciples and followers brought by these big figures.

Apart from these tables and chairs, there are some colorful cloth strips and lanterns in the hall. The surrounding walls are full of hollow carved wooden walls and windows in the traditional Chinese style and charm. The ancient style is very atmosphere, but it is not as strong as brick walls and stone walls. At most, it can only withstand some wind and rain...

"Are there people in the world who are as interesting as you?"

Murong Xian asked with longing on his face.

"This is relative. If you have high martial arts skills, the world will become very interesting. But if you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, the world will be a hell. So I suggest you better listen to your brother, either practice martial arts skills and go out, or go out with your brother."

Zuo Yang answered very seriously this time.

In this "river world", he has seen too many tragedies, and even some people and some things can still make people feel stuffy even when they look back now, especially girls like Murong Xian who have a good appearance and are not good at martial arts. The probability of becoming a tragedy will only be higher if they leave the protection of the Murong family.

"Tsk, don't scare me. Are you very strong in martial arts? You are still alive?"

Murong Xian’s indifferent Taoism.

"Haha, although my martial arts may not be very powerful, we are different..."

Zuo Yang's intention is to point out.

He is a player in game life, but she is a non-functional NPC with only one life. The two are naturally different and very different.

“Where is different?”

Murong Xian asked in confusion, but his eyes were filled with admiration and projects.

“Anyway, it’s different.”

Zuo Yang didn't know how to explain to her, so he smiled vaguely, and asked, "You know all the people who come later, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Lin and those uncles from three aristocratic families have a lot of dates with my father, and I have seen them all."

Murong Xian did not doubt that he had his own way.

"Then you can do me a favor."

Zuo Yang smiled and said, "I have never seen any big scenes, nor have I seen these big people. When they come, you can introduce me one by one to give me a long experience."

"Of course, but..."

Murong Xian nodded happily, but soon his black eyes turned, and immediately changed his mouth and said with a sly look on his face, "...But if I help you, you have to do me a favor. People in the world have always been polite and polite."

"Then forget it."

Zuo Yang shook his head decisively and said.

"Hey, why are you doing this? I haven't even said I want you to help."

Murong Xian said depressedly with his mouth.

"You don't seem to need my help except to run away from home, right?"

Zuo Yang said with a clear eyes, "Sorry, I'm not interested in the fact that abducting a minor girl and running away from home. If something happens to you, I will still be implicated by that time. I can't help with this."

"Hmph, if you don't help, you won't help. What's so great about it? If I hadn't met you today, I would have succeeded."

Murong Xian was also quite angry. He snorted, then pouted and turned his face away, and went out in anger with Zuo Yang.

“…”

Zuo Yang could only express speechlessness.

...

However, every girl's family comes and disappears quickly.

When the banquet began and the guests entered the birthday party one by one, she ran over and took the initiative to introduce Zuo Yang seriously.

The first person who came in was her father Murong Qianqiu.

This is an old man over fifty years old, but he is very well maintained. His skin is still fair at the age of 60, with only the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the nasolabial folds on his cheeks growing out. If you look closely, you will have some similarities with Murong Qing and Murong Xian who you have seen before.

The one who walked side by side with him was the current leader of the martial arts world, Lin Tiannan.

This person has a square face with a Chinese font, thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose, tied his hair, and a beard on his lips and chin. He is a typical decent character in film and television works.

Behind them are the well-known Oriental Family, the Nangong Family, and the extremely children of the head of the Yanmen Family.

The most worth mentioning is the Oriental Family.

According to Murong Xian, the Oriental Family is a very famous foundry family in the martial arts world. People from the Oriental Family only need to pass the characteristics of all forging materials and just need to pass them. They not only have a complete grasp of the eight methods of casting in their family, but also have created a complete new casting secret recipe. All the weapons in their hands are exquisite products that can directly improve the holder's multi-layer skill.

Unfortunately, although the sword-casting technology of the Oriental family has reached its peak, martial arts has stopped moving forward, and they rely more on the soldiers in their hands to compete with others. This is also a major problem that has troubled the family at present.

As for the Nangong family... Zuo Yang got the [Crystal Mirror] from the Queen of Dry Things. It comes from this family. The introduction also emphasizes that you should not show it in front of the disciples of the Nangong family, otherwise it will cause death.
