Chapter 345: Transfiguration
Three months later, outside the city of Liuzhou, the people who want to enter the city lined up for a hundred meters, only to see two horses galloping in the distance, raised, falling and raising the horse's hooves to bring up bursts of flying dust, a man and a woman on horseback, the man is handsome, the woman is alluring, it is really a pair of beautiful people!
Seeing this hundred-meter-long team, the two of them grabbed the reins and slowed down their march, only glanced at each other, the woman raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently, fortunately, she was completely prepared earlier!
got off the horse and lined up at the end of the line without fear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a stick of incense, it was finally their turn, and the guards guarding the city raised their eyes to look at the two of them, looked up and down again, and asked, "Where did the fight come from?" What to do in town? ”
The man led the horse with one hand, and with the other hand reached out to wrap around the soft waist of the woman beside him, and looked at each other with tenderness, like a newlywed, and then looked at the guard who was questioning, and replied, "Come from the north, go into the city and take a relative." ”
"From the north?"
Behind the guard, there were two people with portraits in their hands, and when they heard the man's answer, they first muttered a word, and then looked at the two of them, so sweet looked really not like the person they were looking for, but they still took the portraits in their hands and compared them, and these two people also raised their heads, and they actively cooperated with their inspections. After a few more minutes, the two guards waved their hands impatiently, "Let's go, let's go!" ”
The man and woman nodded and smiled politely at the group, and then led the horses into the city.
The guard who had just blocked them turned his head and asked the person with the portrait behind him, and complained, "Hey, what do you say this woman is from?" The brothers have been checking this portrait for three months, and every day I can tell how many hairs she has! ”
One of them looked around, then lowered his voice, and said mysteriously to the other two: "She, it is said that she is a princess, anyway, she is not small!" Let's do a good job, don't ask if you shouldn't know, be careful with your head! ”
After that, the man and woman who led the horse into the city looked at each other and smiled after listening to their conversation, the woman reached out and touched the horse's long face, and teased: "Did you hear it, the whole country is looking for you!" ”
When the man heard this, he reached out and touched the woman's head.
The two led the horse along the street for a long time, and only then did they find the target inn at a corner, the Gathering Inn. I looked up at the old plaque that was a little peeling off the paint, and then looked around, it was really a very inconspicuous place!
A shopkeeper came forward to take the reins in the hands of the two, and the two looked at each other before stepping in.
The shopkeeper was picking the tart tart, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes, looked the two up and down, and then nodded and asked, "Guest officer, are you playing the top or staying in the hotel?" ”
The female policeman looked around, while the man took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and said, "Two upper rooms." ”
The shopkeeper saw this ingot of white silver, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and then looked at the man with an embarrassed face and said: "Oh, the guest officer is really sorry, there is only one room left in this upper room, you see......"
When the woman heard this, she didn't look around anymore, she only turned her head to look at the shopkeeper, and then looked at the man again, this Gathering Inn was made with Su Han, if it was changed temporarily, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find each other at that time, and there would be a lot of trouble.
Both of them had a very tacit understanding, and almost in unison said to the shopkeeper: "Then let's have one!" ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Er to lead the guests up, he has been doing business for more than 30 years, and the power of knowing people can be described as perfect, since these two people entered the store, he knew at a glance that these two people would not be ordinary people, although they are not brocade clothes, but a person's temperament can not be concealed, and he was afraid that this single business could not be done!
The two of them went up to the third floor with the shopkeeper, looking at the people in the store all the way, and also drew the interior structure of the inn into their minds, which is a necessary basic skill for a Jianghu person, to be able to find the best escape route when an accident occurs, after all, he is a person who is secretly hunted by the imperial court!
"Here," shopkeeper stopped, pointed to a room and said, "This is your two room, if you need anything, just ask." ”
The two glanced at the closed door, nodded at the shopkeeper, and didn't push the door open and go in until he left.
As soon as the door opened, there was a burst of ash down, and there was a musty smell in the room, and the two of them covered their noses with their hands before they went in, and the woman stepped forward to open the window to breathe, here is an empty alley, look out, basically can't see a passerby, but it is clean, and it is convenient to leave! Then I had the time to look back at the furnishings in the room.
The interior layout is simple. A desk, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are complete; a bookshelf, a handful of dusty books; Two potted plants, the corners of the leaves are curled and yellowed, and they are close to wilting; A bed, two dark blue coarse cloth quilts, and a pale gray tent.
"Profiteers! Is this also considered to be on the house? ”
The woman muttered quietly, and the man only smiled at her, and he had already found a rag to clean the dust off the table.
She is the eldest lady, she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, where has she ever done the cleaning work? Although he has also traveled the rivers and lakes, after all, he was young at the time, and he took care of everything, so it is not surprising that he is not used to such a bad environment!
The woman glanced at the man with happiness, then opened the bag, took out the small mirror she was carrying, looked left and right, and then reached out and carefully peeled off the thin layer of skin on her face, and a beautiful face immediately appeared in front of her.
Willow eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, melon seed face, high nose bridge, cherry mouth...... Isn't this Xia Xue'er?!
Xia Xue'er looked at her cheeks that were covered with a little redness in the mirror, and pouted and complained: "Now that it's October, it's late autumn, why is this Liuzhou City still sunny and very similar to midsummer, look at my face, I will get prickly heat if I go on like this!" ”
The man who was cleaning the room looked up at her, and a touch of helplessness and distress slipped in his eyes.
All the way south, all entering and leaving the city had to be checked, and this skin was also worn so as not to be recognized. It's good that the weather is cooler, but the further south you go, the less like autumn becomes, and it's really hard for her! (To be continued.) )
