Along the way, Ming Ruoxie and the others never met Mrs. Yin and her group again. I wonder if Mrs. Yin hurried on her way one day ahead of them because she knew they were behind.
But it¡¯s also a good thing that we haven¡¯t encountered it.
At dusk on the ninth day, they arrived at Lucheng.
After traveling for so many days, everyone is inevitably a little tired.
Zuo Si and the others were in the mountains five miles away from Lucheng. It was called Luchuan. Originally, that area had no name, but now that they have built their camp there, Sikong Ji directly gave it a name, which means near Lucheng. of mountains and rivers.
It just so happens that when it comes to Lu Chuan, no one except themselves can understand what they are talking about.
However, I originally thought that Zuo Si would send someone to greet them in Lucheng first, but when they all entered the city, Zuo Si's people were still not found.
"Uncle Zuo once said that he has bought a courtyard here in Lucheng, just to have a place to stay when the prince comes. Now they have not sent anyone here, how can we find the courtyard?" Xingzhui scratched his head, feeling that Zuo Si was doing something. It seems to have regressed a bit.
He wasn¡¯t like this before. Uncle Zuo used to be quite careful in doing things.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first." Sikong Ji said.
They had already disguised themselves before entering the territory of Lucheng, so naturally they could not show their true colors. Otherwise, based on their good looks, Sikong Ji and Ming Ruoxie would have attracted the attention of interested people as soon as they appeared.
They can go anywhere else, but not to Lucheng, because if they want to go to Hansai City, they don't need to go around to Lucheng.
¡°If someone discovers it and spreads it to the capital, others will doubt their purpose of coming to Lucheng.
So now Sikong Ji applied a layer of sallow color to his skin, and Ming Ruoxie used glue that can touch the skin to paste out some eye tail lines and wrinkles, even the Sichuan pattern, and then added his lip color He also applied a layer of white hair, and picked out a few hairs and dyed them white. It looked like he had aged by more than ten years, and he had a sickly look on his face. When he walked, he was careful to hunker down slightly. He looked like a long-time man. A sick and sad middle-aged man.
She herself thickened her eyebrows, raised the ends of her eyes, put some pockmarks on her face, and drew edges around her lips to make them appear thicker. She also used shadows to shrink her nose, making it look like An ordinary little woman in her twenties.
Others also used different tricks to disguise themselves. Man Yue even wore men's clothes, and Tao Qi put on a beard, looking like a middle-aged housekeeper.
Some of the carriages and horses were left outside the city, and only two guards were left to guard them. There were so many of them and they only entered the city in one carriage. They looked like a pair of people whose family was slightly decent, but not rich. couple.
A group of people went to look for an inn, but they didn¡¯t know what was going on. The atmosphere on the street seemed a bit tense. There was a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the street, and from time to time they would pull someone over to ask a few words.
Seeing that the group of officers and soldiers were almost in front of them, Tao Qi stopped a man who was passing by and asked, "Brother, has something happened in Lucheng?"
The man glanced at him, then quickly looked at the group of them. When he saw the carriage, he lowered his voice and said, "Are there any women around sixteen or seventeen years old in your carriage? If so, be careful. If so, I was stopped by the officials and I remember that the girl was already married."
why is that?
¡°Are they looking for an unmarried girl aged sixteen or seventeen?
"But I see how many people the officers just stopped, and they were all men?" Tao Qi asked, not very puzzled.
"They looked like people from out of town. They didn't know what was going on, so I asked them where they were from and if there was any girl at home who met the requirements."
This man originally didn¡¯t want to say so much, but the moment Tao Qi stopped him, she quickly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
"He gave me a piece of silver for asking something. These people were generous, so of course he had to talk more.
"Something strange happened at the prefect's house. It is said that to solve the strange problem, many unmarried girls aged sixteen or seventeen are needed to help."
After the man said this, he saw that the officials were almost there and couldn't say any more, so he quickly shook off Tao Qi's hand and ran away in a hurry.
Tao Qi cursed secretly in his mind. Before he could say a few words, he took five taels of silver. He should have known that he would break half of it off.
"You guys, stop."
When they were about to move forward, the officials stopped them.
"Guan Ye, we haven't done anything wrong. We just want to go out to explore the city. After passing through Lucheng, we will stay for one night and then leave." TaoQi hurriedly stepped forward and told him.
"Who said you committed a crime?" The officer glared at him and looked at the carriage, "Who is in the carriage?"
"It's our master and his wife."
"Master and Madam? Are there any young masters or ladies?"
"No, no, it's just the master and his wife."
"Open the car curtain and let me take a look."
Tao Qi was actually a little annoyed. He had not committed anything, and they were not looking for a fugitive assassin. He just wanted to lift the curtain of someone else's car for no reason. It was so shameless.
They still have to let their princes and princesses look at them with such weird eyes?
"However, now that they are traveling in disguise, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Let him just take a look and say, "I'll do it."
Tao Qi still followed the rules, bowed to the carriage, explained the situation to the master and his wife, and opened the curtain after receiving permission.
"There are many things to do."
The official is unhappy.
??????????????????????????????????????????? away from the carriage. ???????????????????????????????????????????? away from the carriage. Originally thought that he was so polite, there should be a graceful and luxurious couple in the carriage, but when the curtain was lifted, it turned out that they were just an ordinary couple?
He is not young anymore, he is in his thirties, and the man still has a sick look on his face, which makes him look filthy.
The woman¡¯s dull look made those who didn¡¯t know better think she was a village woman who had just lived a good life for a few years and her countryness had not yet faded away.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing them like this, the official waved his hand like he was shooing away flies and told them to leave quickly. ¡°It¡¯s a waste of my time.¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not just lift the car curtain, but also act like they want to meet the prince and princess.
"Yes, sir."
Tao Qi lowered the curtain and made a gesture to Xingzhui to continue driving.
He also took a look at the prince and princess just now. When he had just finished the disguise, he felt that although the change was great, the prince and princess did not look so dull. How could he just look in and feel that the temperament of the two people had completely changed? However, the princess's clear eyes, which were originally full of energy, were even more dull and dull, without any aura in them.
¡°The prince and princess are so disguised.
The method of disguising one¡¯s appearance and expression.
This difference is too big.
"The prince must have been taught by the princess." Tao Qi muttered. The prince did not have this ability before.
Ah Qi, who was walking next to her, said, "Butler, what did you say?"
When Tao Qi was about to speak, someone rushed out from the alley next to him, stumbling and almost running into his arms. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
