Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Time passed quietly.

"Everyone, we've arrived at Overlord Town..."

"Oh my god, that looks good."

Bai Tang jumped down excitedly and looked at the magnificent city gate.

"Well, not bad, not bad, this place is quite to my taste..."

Wu Song couldn't help but admire this scene.

"Haha, it's better inside, follow me in!"

……

“It’s so lively in here!”

"Everyone, this is the Hongmen Grand Theater. Follow me closely and don't get lost!"

"Be more careful, Wanzi. Don't forget the lesson you learned from the Shen Sect..."

Seeing Bai Tang's confused look, Wu Song couldn't help it and ran to his ear to talk.

"Don't worry...oh my god, this cookie!"

Bai Tang was about to say something, but was immediately attracted by the small fish biscuits beside him!

"You idiot, we have a boatload of snacks, and that's not enough for you!"

Xiaoqing couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to his ear and yelled.

"Um, I think maybe the taste is different...ah!"

I didn't want to listen to his excuses at this moment, so I just pulled his ear and left.

……

"Dad, Dad, this thing looks great, I want to buy one..."

“Buy, buy, buy!”

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, kids, I brought you some delicious food..."

“Thank you, uncle!”

This town is so lively right now!

As for the white sugar that was interested in some stalls, Xiaoqing pulled it away as soon as he stopped.

The expression is also constantly changing.

And they had arrived at their destination.

……

"Look everyone! This is a classic piece of music that has been passed down in our town for thousands of years. Please remain silent!"

The tour guide introduced it to them in a slightly mysterious way, but Bai Tang was a little confused.

"Hey, drama? Isn't there a 'Hongmen Banquet'? When is it going to be held?"

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, everything has been arranged. Let's just listen to the show first, listen to the show..."

And that somewhat cunning look instantly made the four kittens more vigilant.

As the door slowly opened, the five cats walked in slowly.

On a board nearby was written - Ba Wang Zhe!

……

"Oh my God!"

"I've only seen this place in my dreams..."

Bai Tang and others followed the tour guide into the theater. As soon as they entered, Bai Tang was so shocked by the scenery inside that he stood there in a daze.

"Haha, you're all shocked, right? Look over here..."

I saw the tall stage standing in front of me like a towering palace. The vermilion pillars were carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, which looked mysterious and solemn under the dim light.

The caisson above the stage is layered and painted with colorful opera scenes. Every detail is lifelike, as if telling an ancient story.

"Well, today's tea is very good..."

"Of course today is the Chu-Han War~"

The auditorium in the theater is spacious and neatly arranged, and the wooden seats exude a faint sense of antiquity.

Portraits of famous opera actors are hung on the walls. They are either frowning or smiling, and their eyes reveal the unique charm of opera.

Bai Tang's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wow! This place is so huge and beautiful! I've never seen such an amazing place!"

As he spoke, he excitedly ran here and there, looked around, and from time to time reached out to touch the exquisite carvings, completely ignoring the eyes of others. He looked like a naive person who had never seen the world, just like a little bumpkin.

Mo Zi followed behind, and seeing Bai Tang's appearance, he couldn't help but frown slightly, snorted softly, and muttered softly: "Country bumpkin."

Mo Zi's clothes suddenly changed, and then a dignified and beautiful dress was put on her body.

At this moment, the tour guide came out from the side, with a professional smile on his face, and began to introduce non-stop:

"Everyone, this is our most famous theater, steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage. Hundreds of years ago, this was a hub for operatic culture, where countless renowned actors performed and left behind countless classics. Today's performance, 'Ba Wang Zhe,' is a classic among classics, telling the turbulent story of the Chu-Han Contention. From the thrilling Hongmen Banquet, to the turbulent events of the Chu-Han Contention, to the tragic finale of Xiang Yu's suicide at the Wujiang River, I guarantee you'll be treated to a feast for your eyes and experience the infinite charm of opera."

Bai Tang and the others listened attentively at first, but the tour guide kept talking, and gradually they became impatient. Wu Song frowned and said:

"Alright, alright, stop talking and start acting. We can't wait."

"That's right……"

Others nodded in agreement.

"Oops..."

Finally, in everyone's anticipation, the drama "Ba Wang Zhe" began.

The crimson curtain slowly opened, revealing an antique scene on the stage. Exquisite wine jugs and glasses were neatly arranged, and the carved screen added a touch of solemnity.

The actor who played Xiang Yu strode onto the stage. He was wearing a black costume embroidered with gold and a gorgeous helmet on his head. The pair of bright eyes on his face revealed his majesty and dominance. Each step he took made a steady sound, as if he was carrying the momentum of thousands of troops.

As soon as he opened his voice, his powerful singing voice echoed throughout the theater: "I am Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. Today I am hosting a banquet for Liu Bang. The world situation is completely under my control!"

Then, Liu Bang came onto the stage, surrounded by several followers. He was wearing a plain robe and a crown on his head. His eyes flickered, and he bowed and saluted, with a hint of flattery in his singing:

"The Overlord's reputation is far-reaching. It is a great honor for me to be able to attend the banquet today."

As the plot progresses, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang start a war without gunpowder at the banquet.

Xiang Zhuang was ordered to dance with a sword. He was agile and danced with the sword in his hand vigorously, with a cold light flashing. It seemed that he was just adding to the fun, but in fact, the sword was pointed at Liu Bang, with murderous intent hidden in his mind.

In order to protect Liu Bang, Xiang Bo quickly stood up and danced with Xiang Zhuang. His movements seemed casual, but he always blocked Xiang Zhuang's fatal blows at the critical moment.

Bai Tang and others in the audience watched intently, completely immersed in the plot.

Bai Tang clenched his fists nervously, muttering softly:

"Liu Bang, be careful!"

Wu Song narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing every movement and expression of the actors on the stage, secretly admiring the exquisiteness of the opera performance.

Xiaoqing and Dafei were also infected by the tense atmosphere. They leaned forward and stared at the stage without blinking.

In this Hongmen Banquet contest, the situation changed rapidly.

Fan Zeng kept winking at Xiang Yu, indicating that he should take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu hesitated and missed the chance.

Liu Bang successfully resolved the crisis with his own wit and the planning of Zhang Liang and others, and escaped from the banquet under the pretext of going to the toilet.

The subsequent plot is even more ups and downs, and the Chu and Han sides launched a war that lasted for several years.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of fighting and shouting from the soldiers seemed to be heard through the stage. Although Xiang Yu was extremely brave, Liu Bang was good at using his men and gradually gained the upper hand.

Ultimately, Xiang Yu was trapped at Gaixia, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Looking at his remaining defeated troops, he felt a wave of desolation and helplessness. Yu Ji, unwilling to burden Xiang Yu, committed suicide by slashing her throat. Xiang Yu, cradling Yu Ji's body, let out a deafening wail.

On the bank of the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu refused the suggestion to escape by crossing the river. He looked at the surging river, recalled his past glory and current desolation, and resolutely drew his sword and committed suicide.

"Is this the Overlord..."

"It seems like my brother..."

The tragic scene moved the audience, and tears welled up in the eyes of many people.

Bai Tang and the others were also deeply moved. They felt the vicissitudes of history and the joys and sorrows of the heroes from this opera. After the performance, thunderous applause rang out in the theater, and Bai Tang and the others stood up and clapped vigorously.
