Xu Yi has always been deeply entangled in the issue of whether to see Lian Yunshang, fearing that if he does, it will bring huge negative twists and turns to Lian Yunshang's fate.

But if he hadn't seen her, I'm afraid he would be sorry for Xia Zimo's friendship during his lifetime and Xia Xingguang's entrustment.

After thinking about it, he decided to make a compromise and take a sneak look aside to wait for the wind direction before taking the next step.

However, the whereabouts of Lian Yunshang are not under his control.

Therefore, Xuan Zhuang is a bridge leading him to find out the whereabouts of Lian Yunshang.

It was too shocking, so he did not dare to tell Xuan Zhuang that the person he did was Lian Yunshang.

Instead, he said that he wanted to visit White Horse Temple and asked Xuan Zhuang to accompany him.

This stay lasted for three days. Xu Yi's so-called visit was directly changed to check-in.

Fortunately, Xuan Zhuang has a high status, leading Xu Yi all the way to White Horse Temple's major courtyards and mountain gates.

Xu Yi is not visiting White Horse Temple, but using its excellent perception to quietly capture the whereabouts of Lian Yunshang.

After three days, it really worked.

That evening, Xu Yi released Xuan Zhuang, took an oil-paper umbrella from Zhike Monk, and strode out of White Horse Temple.

It was already winter, and the auspicious snow was falling. After a while, when the footsteps fell, the tops of their feet were no longer visible.

Xu Yi, one person and one umbrella, walked through the snowy market, turned into Nancheng, and stopped in front of a stage on the west corner.

The stage is located in a huge open space, about three feet high. Although it is an open-air stage, it has a huge ceiling. At this moment, the snow is falling, but it does not affect the excitement on the stage.

The stage was surrounded by enthusiastic audiences, and no one seemed to care about the wind and snow.

Xu Yi had just stood under the stage for a moment, when a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy actor came up to him, said a few words, and then took him to an elegant room on the north side of the stage.

The view from the elegant room is excellent, not too high and at the right angle, allowing for a clear view of the performances on the stage and the audience off the stage.

"It's all lined up. The next thing to do is to work overtime and use the elixir from the immortal family. Only then can these horns hold on. They are all resting now. I'm sure they won't miss anything in a while."

Fatty Steward was attentively reporting to Xu Yi.

The open-air stage downstairs is his property, and it is also considered a lively place in Nancheng. Theater troupes from all over the country, who come to Chang'an to visit the dock, must come to his place to experience it. The reaction of the audience will test whether they can open a scene in Beijing in the future.

Xu Yi came the day before yesterday, and his generosity shocked Fatty Steward, and the tasks assigned also made Fatty Steward scratch his head.

Xu Yi made up a play and asked Fatty Steward to organize a performance, but only gave it two days.

Although Fatty Steward has been in the box office for many years, he has never seen such a strange request. Even a god can't produce a big show in two days.

Since it was something he couldn't do, he no longer cared about the meat in his mouth. Although he felt regretful, he could finally stay safe.

Unexpectedly, this guest was extremely domineering and insisted on taking care of the situation. The protective umbrella chief Chen Fatty Steward called saw the sign he brought out and knelt down directly.

Fatty Steward Finally had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it. He only said that in order to do this, famous actors must be gathered together. Only famous actors have such skills and can complete such a large number of new plays in a short time.

Xu Yi said, this is simple, you can choose famous actors in the capital, even if it is a supporting role, I will let famous actors play the part.

At that time, Fatty Steward simply thought that Xu Yi was talking nonsense.

Xu Yi is a powerful monk, he has already seen it.

But so what, this is Chang'an, not a small town in the countryside. There are many royal families, academies, temples, and powerful monks in the city.

I don't know how many of these people love drama.

Almost every famous actor has his or her own fan of Monk.

Therefore, when Xu Yi made this promise, Fatty Steward just listened to it as if he was talking in his sleep.

Xu Yi didn't talk nonsense to him. He called a monk and asked the monk to guide Fatty Steward to do the work.

But I didn't expect that the frail monk, holding a token, could ward off all evils.

No matter how powerful you are and how many backers you call upon, you will never be able to retreat without defeat when you see the token in the hands of that thin monk.

Just like that, Fatty Steward gathered almost all the famous actors in the capital. The "Asking for Love" that Xu Yi confessed had a total of nearly a hundred characters, but more than two hundred famous actors came to take over the role.

It's almost like two people preparing for a role and choosing the best.

If anyone is low on energy during the rehearsal, the high-grade elixir that only high-level monks can take will be immediately available, Spirit Wine.

Just like that, the big drama of "Ask for Love" has been scheduled.

This time, Xu Yi had just arrived, but was discovered by the spy set by Fatty Steward, who hurriedly introduced Xu Yi into the private room that had been specially reserved for Xu Yi.

Fatty Steward tried his best to curry favor with Xu Yi, but Xu Yi ignored him at all and looked at the crowd under the stage with anxiety on his brows.

Fatty Steward, who was used to looking at people, immediately shut up. He simply couldn't figure out how a being like Xu Yi could still have troubles.

Seeing that the play in the audience was coming to an end, Fatty Steward became a little anxious. There was constant pacing outside the door. He knew that it was Lao Cheng who was in charge of guarding the stage. He was anxious to see him and asked if he wanted to appear.

Fatty Steward was also worried, but Xu Yi didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to give random instructions.

Finally, under Lao Cheng's suggestion, the play on the stage slowed down three times and finally came to an end unbearably.

Fatty Steward was so anxious that Upper Rooms finally saw a smile appear on the corner of Xu Yi's mouth. He hurriedly approached and asked, Xu Yi waved and said, "Let's sing."

Fatty Steward As if granted amnesty, his plump body jumped out.

Xu Yi almost didn't notice the huge movement. All his thoughts were focused on the new Green-robed Girl.

"Hey... it's okay, okay, Yunshang finally caught up. Don't lie to me. Will Wan Xiaoju really show up?"

Su Jinyue pulled Lian Yunshang and squeezed into the front row to sit down, with her beautiful nose showing a graceful slight arc.

There are not many seats in the entire open-air stage. There are only three rows at the front. Each seat ticket can only be purchased by people with specific identities.

Lian Yunshang said excitedly, "It's true, haven't you seen that Wan Xiaoju hasn't appeared in the past two days? Let me tell you, he is here. Not only him, but also the No. 1 actors in Beijing are here. I heard that the emperor wanted to watch a play, and the people in the imperial court detained all the famous actors here to rehearse. Today is the audition, look, look, even Prince Chun is here..."

Lian Yunshang chirped and introduced to his best friend Su Jinyue, his eyes full of excitement.

Su Jinyue saw a lot of dignitaries who were rarely seen coming, and whispered, "How did you get such a secret? It's true that you love going to the theater. White Horse Temple's bunch of stinky monks hate this, and they will never tell you such secret news."

Lian Yunshang was startled and said, "I just know, don't ask, look, Wan Xiaoju is here."

The mysterious voice heard yesterday came to mind, "Tomorrow, Dongguo Hong will sing to ask for love."

Dongguo Hong is his favorite character. Whenever he plays, Lian Yunshang must come.
