[Entertainment] Capture the King

There was no emotion in his tone, but Lu Yu still asked very intimately: "Are you bored at home?"

"Nonsense, can you not be bored?"

"How about you read the novel? As I told you, the movie we are going to make together is also adapted from a novel. Would you like to read it in advance?"

"Well, yes, you can send it over!"

Originally, Qin Xuyang didn't have much expectation for this novel. After acting too much, he felt that any story is just that, whether it's heart-stirring or twists and turns, it's just a story. After reading this story, it won't hurt him. have any impact on your life.

Only when he was an actor did he feel the difference. An actor can really empathize with what a character is going through. That kind of emotional resonance cannot be stimulated by dry words.

So, when he opened the novel sent by Lu Yu, he read it with a mood to relieve boredom.

However, what he didn't expect was that since he opened the book, he hasn't moved his place. If it wasn't for the pain in his back from sitting, he would probably read it in one sitting without changing his posture.

This story resonated with him indescribably. For the first time, Qin Xuyang experienced the charm of a story through words.

The name of this novel is "Master Rabbit".

The story takes place in the turbulent period of the Republic of China. The country was torn apart and the separatist forces occupied one side. When Xiao Shuo, a young military officer who returned from studying abroad, met He Zhanyuan, the dandy son of the commander of the army. The new idea of ​​​​determining to save the country met the old habit of carpe bliss , when two people meet, they should look at each other with disgust.

But He Zhanyuan fell in love with Xiao Shuo the first time he saw him. He is clean and resolute, like a small poplar growing straight towards the sun. He likes him, so he can see all the good things about him. .

But in Xiao Shuo's eyes, He Zhanyuan is just an out-and-out playboy, ignorant, glib, surrounded by a group of cronies all day long, not doing business properly, and having nothing but good looks.

However, when Xiao Shuo offended his superiors because he didn't know how to adapt, He Zhanyuan could help him out with a few words; His idea doesn't work.

He Zhanyuan's wisdom gradually changed Xiao Shuo's view. He finally knew that under He Zhanyuan's playful appearance, there was actually great wisdom hidden. He quietly circled around all the forces, and could make all the forces revolve around him. , Between sensuality and dogma, the overall situation is in sight.

Xiao Shuo understands that He Zhanyuan has the same heart for the world as he does, but he is more pragmatic and understands how insignificant his own power is.

Under He Zhanyuan's suggestion, Xiao Shuo gradually learned to avoid his sharp edge, settled down, and became a small officer of the He family.

The relationship between the two is getting better and better, so good that Xiao Shuo will tell He Zhanyuan honestly that when he first met him, he hated him very much, but He Zhanyuan told him that he liked him when he first met him, He said that there is a saying in old Peking that it is called Lord Rabbit, and those who like men are called Lord Rabbit.

Xiao Shuo didn't expect to say anything. He Zhanyuan meant this to him. He was surprised, and even more couldn't accept it. He didn't understand why men like men. He Zhanyuan approached him step by step and asked him to treat him as the best. Not only did he not accept the news, but he even felt that He Zhanyuan had plans for him from the very beginning.

The relationship between the two returned to the freezing point again. No matter how sensible He Zhanyuan was, he couldn't accept Xiao Shuo's evasive attitude towards him. The disappointment after seeing hope made him lose his mind. He pulled a young man The student went home and told his father that he liked men, the student, and wanted to be with him.

The grudge-like approach resulted in extremely serious consequences. He Zhanyuan didn't see Xiao Shuo's reaction, and the student was shot to death by He's father right away.

At that moment, He Zhanyuan's self-blame almost overwhelmed him. That student's great youth ended because of one of his scenes. The ending was meaningless, like an absurd joke.But in Xiao Shuo's eyes, he hated He Zhanyuan even more.

He Zhanyuan was unable to change Xiao Shuo's attitude, and the two had a big fight and broke up completely.But what makes He Zhanyuan most powerless is that he cannot save the lives of students.

Since then, he ran away from home and opened a cleaning house in the city. All the people in the cleaning house were men, and they were all rabbit masters. Others could not accept him, but he wanted to be fair and aboveboard, and put them in front of them.

Because of this, Father He severed the father-son relationship with He Zhanyuan, but He Zhanyuan's own forces were still deeply rooted in the city.

Those despised rabbit masters in the Qing Pavilion have their own personalities and abilities. He Zhanyuan makes everyone in the Qing Pavilion develop. An actor Qing He in the Qing Pavilion is completely better than a woman on stage. , the Qing hall became more and more prosperous, and the people who came here changed from watching jokes to watching the excitement, and then it was all for pleasure.

After He Zhanyuan left, Xiao Shuo became Father He's most capable assistant, and his official position climbed all the way. When Xiao Shuo also started to socialize everywhere and wandered among various forces, he was exhausted and dazed so that he missed He Zhanyuan terribly.

Finally, one day, he walked into the Qing hall, and saw He Zhanyuan in a costume playing with Qinghe. Qinghe sang Tsingyi, and He Zhanyuan sang Xiaosheng. The two matched each other perfectly.

When He Zhanyuan found out that Xiao Shuo was in the audience, he just gave him a cold look, cold and proud, and independent. At that moment, Xiao Shuo realized that the He Zhanyuan in his eyes was never the real him. He couldn't see all the edges and corners of himself clearly after all.

Qingguan didn't welcome this young officer, but Xiao Shuo came here day by day, as if he could only feel at ease when he saw He Zhanyuan. He Zhanyuan never spoke to him, but he would never drive him away either.

Until one day, a foreigner came, and what he came to the Qingguan was not the charming Qinghe, but He Zhanyuan alone. The foreigner wanted to see He Zhanyuan sing Tsing Yi. When he came on stage, he caught everyone's attention.

No one ever knew that the playboy He Zhanyuan could also be so glamorous and graceful.

With just one glance, everyone's minds were aroused.The foreigners also seem to be fascinated by He Zhanyuan, and have been entangled in every possible way since then, but Xiao Shuo, who is really attracted to him, dare not show his face again.

Rumors abounded in the city about foreigners and He Zhanyuan, and the unsavory comparisons finally reached the ears of He's father. He's father was already at odds with foreigners, and foreigners took the opportunity to sow discord in front of He's father. When he heard the news, He Zhanyuan was still dealing with a group of foreign soldiers in the Qing Pavilion.

When He Zhanyuan returned to He's mansion after many years, he couldn't even enter the gate. His younger brother pointed a gun at him, saying that he was not worthy to enter the gate of He's house. That night, the only person who comforted He Zhanyuan was Xiao Shuo.

He Zhanyuan didn't want to go back to the Qing Pavilion, and he didn't dare to see his father off. When he was standing on the hillside watching from a distance, it was Xiao Shuo standing behind him.

When he was encoffined, Xiao Shuo took his hand and led him to kneel in front of He's father's grave. He stood in front of him and was shot by He's younger brother. Thousands of words and a hundred kinds of entanglements all turned into words at that moment. The mind is silent.

He Zhanyuan and Xiao Shuo finally came together, but the foreigner was unwilling to let him go. Only then did Xiao Shuo know that the foreigner wanted a business in He Zhanyuan's hands, and wanted to transport the profiteering tobacco into the city to resell, and no one except He Zhanyuan could do it.

He Zhanyuan cheated a lot of gunpowder weapons from foreigners, but he still refused to let go. The foreigners knew they were cheated, so they led the army to arrest He Zhanyuan. Just when He Zhanyuan was about to be taken away, Xiao Shuo came forward and agreed to the matter. down.

He Zhanyuan didn't believe what he said, Xiao Shuo, who had always been rigid, could do such a thing, but Xiao Shuo refused to explain, took away all the communication methods of He Zhanyuan, and took the matter forcefully.

He Zhan was so energetic that he almost wanted to meet Xiao Shuo, but Xiao Shuo didn't let go.He Zhanyuan had arranged for people to stop it secretly, only to find that Xiao Shuo had assembled his soldiers and arranged them at the entrance.

That night, fires broke out on the river, and there were countless casualties among the hail of bullets. When Xiao Shuo dragged his broken leg and was about to die alone, He Zhanyuan appeared, and he fled back to the Qing Pavilion with him regardless. Everyone stood in the lobby waiting for them.Originally, He Zhanyuan sent everyone away, but none of them left.

He Zhanyuan took Xiao Shuo's hand, looked at the crowd who voluntarily stayed, and said, "The soldier in your hand is a man, and the rabbit master in my Qing hall is also a tough man!"

In the Qing hall, they drank the last meal and held a wedding that was not considered a wedding. Before the wine was handed over, the foreigners had already entered the Qing hall. , even Qinghe, who has always been delicate, shot and killed a foreign soldier before he died. He Zhanyuan put his arms around Xiao Shuo, and after drinking with him for the last time, he turned his head and picked up the gun. He said, "Mr. Rabbit!" Also Grandpa!"

Sitting on the chair, Xiao Shuo watched He Zhanyuan get shot after shot. He knew that they would not survive, but even if he died, he wanted to die with He Zhanyuan. He dragged his broken leg and finally crawled to He Zhanyuan's side. Before he died, he whispered in his ear, "In the next life, I have to be a rabbit master with you early, so I can live happily for a few more days."

At the last moment of his life, He Zhanyuan said to Xiao Shuo, "Xiao Shuo, I love you."

These five words were left in the last line of this novel. Qin Xuyang read it over and over again, and unconsciously his eyes got wet.
