Chapter 0785 - City Gate
Ying Ji and the other three spent a thrilling night in Du Mansion, Zuo Liang and Shao Chengzhi took turns on duty, and when the sky was bright, the three of them turned out of Du Mansion.
Zuo Liang took out a few clothes from Du Fushun to hang in the yard and changed them to Ying Ji and Shao Chengzhi.
Knowing that there were soldiers guarding the city gate, these men had to continue walking.
Before he reached the city gate, he saw soldiers holding several portraits in their hands and comparing them with passers-by one from a distance.
Occasionally, they would reach out and pull the beards off the faces of the people, probably to make sure they were on their faces and not pasted on.
Ying Ji thought to herself, unless Tian Baojiao helped them change their appearance now, otherwise they didn't expect to be able to change their faces without being discovered.
The three of them hid in an alley far away, discussing how to get out of the city.
"Why don't we break in!" Zuo Liang suggested.
It seems that there is only one way to do it now.
Zuo Liang continued: "Da Niu, you take the young lady to follow behind me, and I will go out first to lure them all away." ”
Ying Ji said: "Why don't we try to disguise ourselves and wait until it's almost time to rush out, do you just run out like this?"
Shao Chengzhi said: "It's better for me to rush first and lure them all away." Big brother, you're more calm and sophisticated—"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a melodious flute sound from inside the alley, which none of them had ever heard, and it sounded full of solemnity and sadness.
Ying Ji was surprised that there could be such a master of musical instruments in this small town, and there were occasionally extremely high notes in the music, and this person blew them all effortlessly.
Zuo Liang was a little worried that the appearance of this person would add some new variables to their extrication.
As the sound of the flute drew closer, a man in a green robe appeared on the other side of the alley.
Zuo Liang took a closer look, and he had a bottom in his heart, this was Xiao Sheng, who had informed them that there was danger ahead.
I didn't expect this person to play this Xiao so well, it's just that this song is a little unpleasant.
Xiao Sheng seemed to be unsatisfied, he finished the song, thrust Xiao behind him, and said to Ying Ji: "I feel that you may need me, I have prepared the carriage, how about it?"
"Thank you so much, Childe!"
"It's easy to say", Xiao Sheng said to Zuo Liang: "Please Brother Li wait and hide under the car." ”
Zuo Liang hugged his wrist at Xiao Sheng: "There is Brother Lao!"
Xiao Sheng looked at Shao Chengzhi: "I said little brother, can you not pretend? When are you going to exert your strength? Do you think you can still pretend that you don't know anything in this situation?"
Shao Chengzhi didn't speak, and looked at Ying Ji and Zuo Liang with his spare eyes, and there was no surprise on their faces.
Xiao Sheng continued: "People also go to the rivers and lakes, will they not be able to see your kung fu? You have saved people so many times, and you want to follow them, but people still can't ask for it?"
Zuo Liang stepped forward and bowed to Shao Chengzhi: "Thank you little brother for saving me three times and five times, if the little brother is willing to pass all the way with my master and servant, I am grateful to our young lady!"
Xiao Sheng nodded at Shao Chengzhi: "Do you still want to pretend?"
Shao Chengzhi smiled embarrassedly: "You all know it?"
Young-hee looked at him with a smile as he realized that his disguise had already been discovered by them.
He reached out and removed the plaster that had covered most of his face, and the skin on his face that had been covered by the plaster was now whiter than the rest of his face.
"That's right!" Xiao Sheng said, "The little brother is responsible for luring all the soldiers away, and the woman lies on the car pretending to be sick, and Brother Li hides under the car." We first went out of the city like other ordinary people. If all goes well, we don't have to fight. In case these people want to stop us, the little brother will lure them away, and we will rush out in chaos, how about it?"
Zuo Liang nodded, with Xiao Sheng's help, this plan was a real plan, after all, the soldier did not have his portrait in his hand, he could drive the car in a dignified manner without worrying about being stopped.
Xiao Sheng stretched out his hand and handed Zuo Liang a charcoal rod: "Please help your young lady get some black spots on her face, I will say that she has sores when she arrives, and then the heroine only needs to show her forehead, I hope I can get through the trick!"
After a few people cleaned up, Zuo Liang got under the car and grabbed the wheel with his hand, and Ying Ji lay down on the car and covered her whole body with a quilt. Shao Chengzhi followed the carriage from a distance, everyone knew that he was very good at light skills, and he was not afraid to stay away, this distance was just a kung fu for him.
The group went to the city gate and began to form a line.
The soldiers in front carefully looked at the people of the city one by one, Xiao Sheng thought to himself: I don't usually see them so serious, it is really good to use silver, if there is anything in this world that can make people do things against their will, it is only silver.
Finally it was their turn, Ying Ji was lying in the carriage and felt very nervous, but Xiao Sheng was very calm.
"A few officials have worked hard!" he said, handing over the broken silver on his body.
A few soldiers pretended: "Don't, don't!"
He resisted on his lips, but he honestly put the silver in his arms.
"What are you doing out of town?"
"My inner man is sick!"
One of the soldiers lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked inside, and Yinghee's hair was scattered to reveal a forehead, and her head was densely dotted.
"What disease?"
"Smallpox!"
When two of the soldiers heard this, they suddenly stepped back.
Xiao Sheng smiled and asked them: "You two have never had smallpox! ”
The leader opened the curtain again and looked inside, Yingji closed her eyes and only showed the part above the eyes, and the leader took a closer look, the inside of the carriage was airtight, the light was relatively dim, and he couldn't see anything.
"Alright, let's go!"
Xiao Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Hard work!"
Then he drove the carriage slowly to the gate of the city.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the city gate, Xiao Sheng suddenly heard someone behind him: "Slow!"
He hurriedly stopped the carriage, and at the same time whispered to Zuo Liang, who was hiding under the car: "Shao'an, don't be impatient, act when you have the opportunity!"
"What's wrong?
The soldier at the head walked over, holding a portrait of Yingji in his hand, "Today's strict investigation, I need to get in the car with you and take a closer look!"
Xiao Sheng's face was embarrassed: "Official, isn't this appropriate?
"Less nonsense, didn't I say to get in the car with you to watch? Besides, I only look at my face, why is it inconvenient?"
"Okay, okay, then get in the car and see!" Xiao Sheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and got into the carriage with the leader.
