Chapter 233: Cover-up

"What do you all do? What kind of business are you planning to do in Kyoto? ——”

The officers and soldiers outside continued to question.

But the sound of this sentence is very familiar.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then instantly began to be depressed.

I'm really afraid of something! I actually ran into the time when Lord Miao personally went on patrol!

The plan that originally wanted to get through the trick now seems to have increased the difficulty coefficient by several points.

"It's the Lord of Miaojun......"

Lin Jue whispered to Nangong Yi in his lips.

This woman has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. And she also knows Lin Jue and Nangong Yi.

"I'll help you disguise."

Compared with Lin Jue's thousands of thoughts, Nangong Yi is much calmer on the surface.

Lin Jue's eyes widened, "Now easy to disguise?" ”

"Yes, it's easy to look like now."

Nangong Yi said, took out a small wooden box from his arms, opened it, took out a small piece of folded thin things from it, walked to Lin Jue, unfolded it, and casually pasted it on her face.

It wasn't until it was unfolded that Lin Jue saw the appearance of the thing, something similar to a human skin mask. It was cold and comfortable on her face, but the thought that maybe it might really be a human skin mask made her suddenly feel a chill.

"Alright."

Nangong Yi looked at her carefully, and then handed a small bronze mirror to Lin Jue.

After seeing himself in the mirror, Lin Jue was startled.

Just pasted it up, she is now with just now. But it's completely like two people. There is still a trace of the original appearance on her face, even if it is herself, she can't recognize it.

"The effect of this thing. Great, right? ”

I knew that there was such a thing, and when she came to Northwest City, she didn't have to spend a long time dressing up so hard every day.

"The effect was good, but it didn't last long. The effect of this mask on the market can only last for a maximum of twelve hours, and after twelve hours, it must be torn off immediately. Otherwise it will rot on the face, along with the face itself. ”

"What!? ——”

Lin Jue broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a dangerous thing was actually directly attached to her face. What is Nangong Yi's intention?

Seeing her like this, Nangong Yi explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you." It's been improved by me. There were no side effects, but it still lasted for twelve hours. ”

While they were talking, the officers and soldiers had already arrived in front of their tents.

"All the people inside are out, routine checks!"

After hearing this, Lin Jue looked at Nangong Yi a little nervously and said, "It's too late, you can hurry up and post one." ”

"Hmm."

Nangong Yi responded, as if she had changed her face in a play. All of a sudden, he changed his mediocre face.

A full beard and curly hair. is still neat and clean coarse cloth clothes, this dress, even if Lin Jue does not identify him as a Jiangyang thief, he is also a vagrant who does not do his job.

"You change...... It's too big, right? ”

Lin Jue looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

It's not just a different face, it's just a different person.

"If I don't, I'll be recognized."

Not only does Lord Miao know him, but those officers and soldiers are no strangers to him, if he doesn't completely become another person, and even his temperament changes, no matter how much he disguises, he will be recognized.

After the change was successful, Nangong Yi lifted the curtain and walked out, followed by Lin Jue. The identities of the two of them are a herdsman couple, a husband of five years and three coarse husbands and a wife of mediocre appearance.

Sure enough, the lord of Miao County came to patrol with a team of native soldiers dressed in military uniform.

"You're going to Yuejing too?"

Lord Miao glanced at them, a trace of disappointment seemed to flash in his eyes, and he asked in a cold tone.

"Go back to your lordship, let's not go to Kyoto, let's go to Shanxian County."

Nangong Yi replied angrily.

"Take out the paperwork and look at it!"

Lord Miao didn't look at him, and ordered directly in a cold voice. This time, I caught so many merchants, I thought I could make a small fortune, but I didn't expect that one by one, all of them were poor. Not to mention gold and silver, not even ordinary jade. What a disappointment!

After confirming the passage documents that Nangong Yi took out, Lord Miao didn't bother to ask, so he went straight to the other tents with the native soldiers to search them one by one.

Lin Jue just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly there was a commotion from the tent in front of him, followed by crying.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... This is the white jade that has been handed down from our family, just like this, it is our heirloom......"

An elderly man knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Lord Miao's clothes.

Lord Miao sneered, and when a native soldier saw this, he walked over quickly, gave him two kicks directly, and kicked him to the ground.

The old man was kicked and fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spat out.

"Grandpaβ€”"

A little boy of seven or eight years old rushed out and ran to the old man's side.

"My lord, this white jade is the only thing for our grandfather and grandson, and it is also left by Xiaobao's father, please be merciful and return this white jade to us...... My lord, I beg you......"

"Hmph, don't you just want a pair of white jade? Why are you crying like a dead man? The native soldier who raised his leg and kicked him just now said viciously, "My lord wants your jade, because he can afford you!" ”

After that, he was given another kick.

Lin Jue really couldn't stand it, and as soon as he flashed, he was about to stand out.

was stopped by Nangong Yi.

"Don't go over."

"Yes...... Could it be that she is watching her bully the weak like this? ”

Lin Jue frowned.

Even if she has always been cold by nature, she can't stand this kind of overt robbery, and the targets of robbery are still old people and children.

Nangong Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "In this way, you go to the road first to see the injustice and draw a knife to help, and make the scene chaotic, and then I will take advantage of the chaos to solve all these people......"

"If all these native soldiers die here, the Northwest City will definitely investigate, killing officers and soldiers is a big crime, even if our identities will not be recognized, the rest of the team will be in danger, so forget it."

Lin Jue was a little helpless.

Suddenly, she had an idea, turned her head sideways and whispered to Nangong Yi beside her, "You just watch quietly, I have a way." ”

How could she forget that she was able to vertigo?

There's still a stalemate over there.

In fact, it is not a stalemate, Bai Yu has long been in the hands of Lord Miao, but the old man has been pulling the corner of her clothes. The people present just watched the excitement from a distance, and their faces showed sadness, but no one dared to step forward and stop it.

Seeing that the old man was stubborn, several people stepped forward and were about to punch and kick him, but suddenly a gust of wind blew inexplicably.

On a desert night, the temperature was already very low, and the sudden and inexplicable wind with yellow sand made everyone shiver.

The climate of the desert is changing, and it is very likely that a sandstorm will suddenly break out, although the Lord of Miao County is violent, it does not mean that she is not afraid of death, since the white jade has arrived, she does not want to stay in this desert place for a long time, and yelled casually at the old man, and then rode away with the group of native soldiers.

The horses went away, raising a puff of dust.

The people who watched the excitement gradually left, leaving only the beaten old man with a blue nose and swollen face and his young grandson still wailing in place.

Lin Jue couldn't help but walk over, took out a bag of silver from his arms, handed it to the old man, and said softly, "This is a little caution on our part, it's cold outside, you better go back and rest early." ”

The old man looked up and was stunned, and after a long time he said tremblingly, "Girl, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't accept this thing." ”

"Take it, it's just a little bit of affection for your grandson." Lin Jue smiled faintly, stuffed the bag of silver into the little boy's arms, and turned to leave.

Halfway through, she suddenly turned back, "When you go back to the tent later, you have to look for it, maybe the lost things will come back." ”

Then, with the old man's confused expression, Lin Jue quickly got into his tent.

But as soon as I entered the tent, I was surprised to find that someone was packing up again.

"What are you?"

Lin Jue looked confused.

Cleaning up at night, could it be that Nangong Yi has obsessive-compulsive disorder, why didn't she know before?

"Get out of here."

Nangong Yi said, and continued to clean up.

"Now?"

"Hmm."

"Why so suddenly?"

Lin Jue's face was confused.

She hasn't slept yet, and she's leaving?

Seeing her like this, Nangong Yi couldn't help but shake her head and laughed, "Fool, think about it, did you do something just now?" ”

"I'll just help the old man get the white jade back."

didn't do anything with her on the surface, it is estimated that Lord Miao is still in the dark.

With an innocent face, Nangong Yi smiled helplessly and explained, "But you are using vertigo." ”

"It's the use of dazzle to get the white jade back like this, if you use force as you said, it will definitely attract her attention."

"Lord Miao is not so smart."

Nangong Yi put the packed luggage on the table, walked to Lin Jue's side, reached out and scratched her nose by the way, and said with a smile, "But it's also my negligence, I forgot to tell you that the contractor has formed an alliance with Queen Yang, and Lord Miao is the contractor's person." Including Ling Mo, these people are now on the same front. ”

What the? β€”β€”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

From the time when Lord Miao came to patrol with a large group of native soldiers just now, she should have thought that if there was no one behind her to support an orphan of a rebel, even if it was a desert, she would not dare to be so domineering and reckless, let alone hold a position among the soldiers on the border.

Lord Miao and the contractor came together, and the contractor formed an alliance with Empress Yang.

Thinking back to the scene when she and Ling Mo met Lord Miao that day, Ling Mo's appearance was so normal that Lin Jue didn't notice anything unusual, but the strange thing was that even when she thought about it now, she still didn't find anything unusual.
