Chapter 1278: Wine, Sex, Wealth, and Qi Keep People the Most

"You sealed the Luo Sheng Armor, saving how many lives and avoiding how much war for the western Flash Gold Plain?" He Lingchuan laughed loudly, "Who says only those who fight on the battlefield and turn the tide count as heroes?" He relied on his height advantage, grabbed Fu Liushan's shoulder, and pressed down hard: "Look, even you aren't sure what is right and wrong, and who counts as a hero; do you think the common people understand? Don't you think someone should tell them in detail to set the record straight!"

"You walk through the world, accustomed to the warmth and cold of human feelings, dealing with all kinds of people; only you know best what they want to hear, love to hear, and should hear!" He Lingchuan said sincerely, "There is no more suitable candidate than you."

Fu Liushan exhaled, calmed down, and subconsciously touched his face: "You are truly interesting, even caring about what stories a storyteller tells?"

Storytellers usually cooperate with taverns, and if they tell well, they can bring business to the tavern. They earn the reward money given by guests, and some taverns also provide some food and wine.

"That's for sure." He Lingchuan smiled, "The people I hire, isn't it up to me what content they tell?"

Fu Liushan felt it was very novel: "Then what content do you want?"

"Naturally, stories of punishing evil and promoting good; common people like to hear these the most, don't they?"

"Who said that?" Fu Liushan bared his teeth, "They love to hear romantic affairs and the filth of wealthy families the most. As long as I start a story about raiding a widow's village, which time isn't it full house, with everyone begging me to tell the details?"

He Lingchuan patted his shoulder: "Exactly! These must also be written, must be written, write them in detail! If the material isn't enough, I can help you gather a few more."

"Oh? You have material?" Fu Liushan immediately pricked up his ears, "Tell me."

"The Pu Nation that just collapsed in the west, you've heard of it..."

"No, tell me in detail, in detail."

The two walked and talked. To tell a story with twists and turns, He Lingchuan's eloquence was indeed not as good as Fu Liushan's, but the story itself was wonderful. Before one story was finished, Fu Liushan found that he hadn't left Ju City, but instead followed He Lingchuan into the clubhouse of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

*Yo*, not paying attention, how did he get here? The clubhouse was naturally quiet, with only the old doorman secretly dozing off.

Two wind lamps under the eaves emitted a warm halo of light.

"Come, drink." He Lingchuan dragged Fu Liushan into the study, took out a pile of braised dishes from somewhere, and took out a few jars of good wine.

Fu Liushan had lost money at the gambling table for half the night, originally full of irritability, but once he started drinking and eating, he couldn't stop.

He Lingchuan chatted with him about interesting things again, and Fu Liushan was full of food and drink, soon falling asleep.

This sleep lasted until the sun was high.

By the time Fu Liushan rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed up, there were already servants outside preparing towels and warm water, and tidying his clothes.

Then it was another sumptuous but muddled lunch.

It had been a long time since he had been so comfortable. Fu Liushan burped, wanting to go out to the courtyard to digest, and then he saw He Lingchuan.

Island Master He was followed by someone.

"Come, let me introduce you; this is our future chief storyteller, Fu Liushan, Master Fu. Whether the business of taverns, eateries, and opera troupes can explode depends on his tongue."

Fu Liushan hurriedly waved his hands: "Hey, I didn't..."

He hadn't agreed. Although he had been eating and drinking for free here.

Wait, there was also an opera troupe?

He Lingchuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and immediately said to him: "This is Dou Wenguan, who originally specialized in the external affairs of the Yangshan Archipelago; I transferred him here to connect with you."

Dou Wenguan smiled and bowed to Fu Liushan: "Master Fu, long admired, long admired; please give me more guidance in the future!"

"Where..." Fu Liushan just returned the salute, and He Lingchuan patted both of them on the shoulder, "You guys chat, I still have things to do in the clubhouse."

He really had things to do, busy until now before squeezing out a little time.

Fu Liushan was muddled when he was pressed beside Dou Wenguan, and only after coming to his senses did he remember: "Hey, why did the guy surnamed He say 'opera troupe' just now?"

Dou Wenguan took him out.

Behind the Chamber of Commerce was a row of buildings. Fu Liushan followed him through one corridor after another, finally entering a large courtyard. "Oh, it's like this; our Island Master considers that once storytelling can be carried out in various places, then we can start building opera stages. Common people also need to find some fun in their leisure time, right? How many people are there in Ju City, and how many can enter the hall to spend money? Fortunately, there are garrison troops here..."

Dou Wenguan led him past a row of long private rooms.

People were coming and going here, especially lively. The doors of the private rooms were all open, and Fu Liushan's eyes glanced casually, and he froze:

Inside, quite a few young women were putting on makeup and changing clothes, chatting and laughing, not avoiding people.

Thin shirts and light clothes, fragrance wafting.

One of them happened to look over and smiled at Fu Liushan.

The makeup was very heavy, the smile was very beautiful, the face and neck were very white, and the figure was also very graceful.

Fu Liushan swallowed his saliva instantly.

Dou Wenguan stopped to wait for him: "Master Fu?"

"Ah?" Fu Liushan came to his senses, followed him through the private rooms, and walked through these warblers and swallows.

So many soft whispers, so many arms and fragrant shoulders, Fu Liushan felt a pair of eyes wasn't enough.

After walking this section of the road, he still looked back reluctantly.

"These are?"

"These are all new members recruited by the opera troupe; some have poor foundations, so they have to train urgently these few days." In a small place like Ju City, it was very difficult to recruit suitable people.

"Ah? The opera troupe recruits women?"

"The first troupe will only perform in Ju City and a few big cities; the Island Master said that women are also fine." Dou Wenguan laughed, "Once Master Fu's script is written, they will have to discuss with Master Fu and ask for your guidance."

Discuss? Guidance? Fu Liushan pointed at himself: "Me?"

"You write the script, they have to understand it well, right?"

Fu Liushan nodded happily: "Right, must communicate well!"

"By the way, can Master Fu write opera scripts?"

"Yes, of course." Story scripts, opera scripts, aren't they all scripts? He could write anything! "I can rush out two scripts in three days!"

He Lingchuan turned a corner into the clubhouse, and the sound behind him couldn't be heard.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror was puzzled: "Fu Liushan fights ghosts all day, more cunning than a ghost, so he just stayed muddled like this?"

"Muddled?" He Lingchuan had long seen through it, "Wandering the world, where can he find a wife?"

The Luo Sheng Armor was gone, so Fu Liushan's inheritance mission was no longer to leave the mountain.

"Ah?"

He Lingchuan didn't say much more and set about handling the clubhouse affairs.

An hour later, Dou Wenguan walked in, full of spring breeze: "Island Master, it's settled. Master Fu will start telling stories at the Bamboo Hidden Tavern tonight. He said strike while the iron is hot, and will use the story of the Pu Nation to lead the charge."
