Chapter 357: Stand-in
After losing a few hundred taels again, Deng Xiaoxian also saw that the couple must be at odds with him, otherwise he would lose as soon as he met them. After not caring so much about winning or losing, Deng Xiaoxian felt more and more interesting about this poker card, and asked Qiao Mingyue a few ways to play, and the three of them started the mode of unscrupulous couples cheating people and stupid money and merry young masters.
"By the way, do you have any new news about the treasure map?" Deng Xiaoxian said casually.
I didn't expect him to ask like this suddenly, Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun were stunned for a moment, "Not yet." Qiao Mingyue said. They almost forgot that Deng Xiaoxian was still looking for the treasure map.
"That's it! That's a pity, this time I came to Da Zhou for the treasure map, and if I can't find the treasure map, I won't go back to Nanzhao. When it came to the treasure map, Deng Xiaoxian became much more serious.
Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun glanced at each other, the treasure map was in Nanzhao! Of course, they couldn't say it. Qiao Mingyue also understood that Deng Xiaoxian could never be fooled casually about the treasure map, and he could only stabilize him at the moment, and then think of other ways.
"And what are you going to do now?" Qiao Mingyue asked.
Deng Xiaoxian played with the playing cards in his hand and said, "Go back to the capital and continue to look for it, what else can I do?" ”
Qiao Mingyue immediately said, "Then we will change our appearance and go back with you." ”
Deng Xiaoxian didn't expect her to say this, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
Qiao Mingyue saw his distrustful look and said, "Why are you so surprised?" Multiple people have multiple powers, and if the treasure map is found, you can't just swallow it, right? "Although you can't find it.
Deng Xiaoxian thought about it, what they said was also that for Da Zhou and for the capital, the two of them must be much more familiar than him, a foreigner, and with the help of the two of them, it may be much more convenient.
"But isn't the goal a bit big for the three of us?" Deng Xiaoxian was still a little worried.
Qiao Mingyue said: "When the time comes, we will pretend to be businessmen from afar, there are businessmen coming and going in the capital every day, and a few businessmen will not arouse suspicion when they suddenly come, and this will also make it easy for us to find out the news." ”
"Okay, then." Deng Xiaoxian also thinks that this method is feasible.
"But if we just disappear, it will cause suspicion, right?" Qi Jingyun raised doubts.
Deng Xiaoxian disagreed, "Don't worry, I'll solve this matter." ”
The topic of treasure maps came to an end for the time being, and Deng Xiaoxian excitedly pulled Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun to play poker, his appearance of being stupid and rich made Qi Jingyun can't bear to pit him anymore. A few people played a few more games, and the husband and wife deliberately released the water, so that Deng Xiaoxian won two hundred taels of silver. Although it is only two hundred taels, Deng Xiaoxian is still very happy, because it means a good start, and he will win more and more in the future, at least Deng Xiaoxian thinks so.
Sure enough, the next day, Deng Xiaoxian found someone to replace them.
Two men and one woman, one of the two men looks like Deng Xiaoxian, and the other is also a little similar to Qi Jingyun, with similar height and body shape, coupled with Qiao Mingyue's disguise technique, unless it is an extremely close person, even if the real or false two appear at the same time, they may not be able to recognize it. And the girl Deng Xiaoxian found was not too similar to Qiao Mingyue, after all, she has always shown herself as a disguised person, so Deng Xiaoxian only found a woman with a similar body and temperament to her.
In the past two days, Deng Xiaoxian also asked the three of them to hurry up and learn the tone of their voices and some small habits, so as not to arouse suspicion.
After three days, the short training session also worked, and as long as you are not very familiar with people, it is definitely not a problem to get by.
"There is another thing you must remember, in order to avoid revealing flaws, you can not speak without talking, saying too many mistakes, it is easier for people to doubt, remember?" Qiao Mingyue told her that she was still a little worried, and it was better to be cautious about this kind of thing.
The three of them nodded in unison, "Got it." ”
After thinking about it, Qiao Mingyue took out another antidote pill and gave one to each of the three of them, "This is an antidote pill, as the name suggests, it can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and it can save your life at a critical time." ”
"Thank you." The three of them took it and put it away carefully.
Qiao Mingyue couldn't think of anything else to add for the time being, so she let them go down first, and then add it when she thought of it.
The stand-in matter was done, and Qiao Mingyue was thinking about another thing, "We are all going to the capital, what should my mother do?" "Mrs. Qiao has already gone to Tongzhou, and it is impossible for her to let Mrs. Qiao go to Nanzhao alone.
"Why don't you let my mother go to the capital with us?" Qiao Mingyue discussed with Deng Xiaoxian.
Deng Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Qiao doesn't know about us looking for a treasure map, right?" ”
Qiao Mingyue shook her head, "I didn't tell her." ”
Deng Xiaoxian said: "That's good, this kind of thing is less dangerous if one person knows about it." But the capital is also not safe, Mrs. Qiao has just escaped from the palace, it is inevitable that she will not be recognized, and I am afraid that there will be more trouble at that time. ”
"Why don't you let Mrs. Qiao go to Yungui, with General Qiao here, you may be more at ease."
"But ......" Qiao Mingyue was still a little hesitant.
Deng Xiaoxian knew what she was worried about, so he said, "I will send someone to escort Mrs. Qiao until she arrives safely in Yungui and sees General Qiao, is it okay now?" ”
In this way, Qiao Mingyue has no worries, as Deng Xiaoxian said, a few of them who should not have appeared suddenly appeared in the capital again, although they are quite sure, but they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens, she is still unwilling to let her mother follow them to take this risk. Moreover, my mother has not seen my father and brother for a long time, so it seems that only sending my mother to Yungui is the best choice. With Deng Xiaoxian's people to protect them, safety is not a problem, as long as it is not an assassination, ordinary bandits and thieves are not their opponents, then Qiao Mingyue has nothing to worry about.
Qiao Mingyue nodded, "Then so be it!" I'm going to write now. ”
Deng Xiaoxian immediately asked people to send the letter out, Qiao Mingyue just briefly said that they had something to do and had to go back to the capital immediately, and Mrs. Qiao followed the people sent by Deng Xiaoxian back to Yungui without asking too much.
"Alright, everything is almost settled, let's play poker!" Deng Xiaoxian said with great interest.
Qiao Mingyue was helpless, she shouldn't have taught him to play cards at that time, now he is like an addiction, as soon as he has free time, he will find them to play cards, the key is that his playing skills are very poor, even if he wins playing cards with him, there is no sense of accomplishment at all!
