The first rays of the morning sun shone on the window lattice, waking the sleeping people, and the market soon became lively: the wine banner was raised high, and the men removed the door panels and carefully cleaned the bluestone steps in front of the door; The freshly steamed meat buns on the roadside exude heat and aroma, hooking the guests to stop one after another; There are even the small traders who have entered the city early, who have already jumped their burdens and gone to the most lively street market to occupy a place and set up stalls......

An elegant and noble man led a few stout men out of the door of the hotel, jumped on his horse, and walked quickly towards the city gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoToday's city gate is said to have opened an hour later than usual, and those who rushed in and out of the city gate gathered a lot at the city gate, and it was still bustling and lively at this time.

The man led everyone to stand at the edge of the queue, watching the people who went out of the city one by one being strictly examined, and no one was missed. The man frowned and said to the people behind him, "Let's go to the tea stall next to us and wait, we can see people today." ”

Several people nodded, dismounted, and led the horses towards a tea stall next to them.

"Uncle, bring each of us a bowl of tea to eat!" The noble man shouted and took the lead in sitting down. The people were also sitting around the table, waiting for the boss to serve tea.

"A few masters use it slowly, just boiling hot tea, be careful to scald." The boss is an old man in his forties, wearing a white apron, but he looks neat.

"Uncle, why is this city gate so strictly checked today, you see that people have been discharged for a mile." The man asked as he drank tea.

"A few of you are going out of town! We'll have to wait a while. It is said that an important fugitive escaped from the city last night, and a search has been going on near the city gate since last night. All of our little shops have been knocked on the doors and searched one by one! This is not? Early in the morning, it was checked and asked, everyone had to be interrogated for a long time, you said so many people, you can't wait in a long line! ”

"Do you know who you're going to arrest?"

The old man rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally remembered a few words, "It seems that it is said to be a woman, and it may be a man, a native of Donghuang, who looks very beautiful." Oh yes, they seem to have hung their portraits on the wall across the street. ”

The man looked at the old man's hand, and sure enough, he saw two portraits pasted on the wall.

"How are they two people?" A stout man asked in a gruff voice.

The man was also a little puzzled, and said to the man who had just spoken: "Nianzu, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Brother Bao, I'm ...... I'd like to check it out too. Zhao Nianzu looked at Bao Jianfeng with a deep expectation in his eyes.

Bao Jianfeng chuckled, nodded, and explained a few words to the few people next to him, and then took Zhao Nianzu away.

Yes, these two people are Bao Jianfeng and Zhao Nianzu, who chased all the way to Beijing. The two of them came to the portrait and saw two portraits, one of a man and one of a woman.

Bao Jianfeng was fine, but Zhao Nianzu was completely stunned. Because the portrait of that man is Jiang Moyan, yes, but how can the portrait of that woman also be Jiang Moyan's face? And it's exactly the same as the one in his ancestral hall in his hometown, except for the clothes! This...... What's going on?

Zhao Nianzu was a little confused. Although he has a simple personality, he is not stupid. Soon he realized something, and turned his head to find Bao Jianfeng to confirm, "Could it be ......"

Bao Jianfeng didn't know that Jiang Moyan had already exposed the identity of the woman, but as soon as these two portraits came out, he knew that Jiang Moyan's identity might not be able to cover it. He nodded at Zhao Nianzu, confirming the thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Nianzu grew his mouth in surprise. For him, this news was not a simple gender issue, but made him more convinced that Jiang Moyan was the person who their village had been waiting for for five hundred years. If there were some doubts before, now it is true. Zhao Nianzu was surprised and delighted, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Bao Jianfeng had witnessed everything in Dengxian Village, so he was very understanding of Zhao Nianzu's reaction. He put a finger to his mouth and motioned for silence.

The queue next to him was getting longer and longer, and Bao Jianfeng pulled Zhao Nianzu and prepared to go back. Suddenly, several war horses came running in the distance, and the smoke and dust rolled up made the people in line cover their mouths and noses.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Bao Jianfeng saw the horses stop at the city gate, and a few people muttered a few words to the city gate officials, and then saw those people standing in front of the inspection team and joining the inspection ranks.

Bao Jianfeng was a little puzzled, and after a closer look, he found that those people didn't check anything else, but specially checked people's faces, and some people in addition to careful observation, they also pulled each other's faces from time to time. Bao Jianfeng was shocked, this was to check if anyone had changed his face. It's bad, if Mo Yan really came, wouldn't it be exposed at once?

As soon as he pulled Zhao Nianzu, he quickly returned to the tea stall, and left with those few people. They had to intercept Mo Yan before she came.

How to intercept? They didn't know Jiang Moyan's location at all now, otherwise they wouldn't have to wait at the city gate. This morning, they got Mu Qing's letter, and they only had time to get here, and they didn't have time to prepare anything else.

"Otherwise, let's use the arrows! Maybe she'll be able to see it. Zhao Nianzu was more anxious than Bao Jianfeng, for fear that Jiang Moyan would have an accident.

Bao Jianfeng hesitated: "The arrows are too loud, it is easy to attract the searching soldiers, in case Mo Yan collides with those people again, it will be troublesome." ”

A man next to him said: "Otherwise, we will spread rumors at the city gate, and say that the people searching in front of us will expose their faces." This kind of news usually spreads very quickly, and maybe it can reach the ears of the general. "This person is a god horse who has been spying on news in Beijing for a long time, and his brain is flexible.

Bao Jianfeng's eyes lit up, this idea was good. As long as they make up the news in a horrific way, the rumors can spread quickly. As for whether Jiang Moyan will go through this city gate, they don't have to worry. For this morning, the other gates were not opened, and all those who went out of the city were driven to this gate, which is why so many people came in and out of this gate.

Having made up their minds, several people split up and began to spread rumors among the crowd.

"What, unmasked? Why do you want to be exposed? Can the skin be revealed? ”

"I heard that I was looking for a person with a human skin mask, and said that the mask was made by removing the face of a living person, which is terrifying!"

"Remove the face of a living person and make a mask?" Everyone who heard this sentence was stunned without surprise. This is an eye-opener, the first time I heard that there is such a thing, I have to tell the people in the village when I go back, there is such a terrible thing in the world!

When the news reached the ears of a scholar with thick eyebrows, the corners of his eyes that were already hanging up were picked a few times, making it even more ugly. Taking advantage of the lack of attention, he quietly withdrew from the group and turned around and walked back.
