Chapter XXIII: Swapping Identities
I was dragged from the gate into the inner courtyard by Sheng Ge.
On the way, I kept expressing my doubts to her, but she ignored me.
I have always had two great fears: fear of trouble and fear of starvation.
In the past two days, I have added a big fear: fear of death.
Such three fears are gathered together at this moment, and I can't help but feel sad from it, and I miss the little rabbit that has not been eaten in the cave.
If you eat it and leave, you can be less afraid at this moment......
The usher led us into a utility room in the inner courtyard.
Needless to say, it's a darkroom again.
It's a very simple and boring thing to do.
After walking for a long time through the dark passage, turning countless corners, the person in front of him finally stopped, extinguished the torch that led the way, and went to unlock the door of the front road in the dark.
It's inexplicable that such a simple mechanism is still so cautious...
As soon as the secret door opened, light came in from outside.
When I went out, I found that the outside was not an underground dark room or anything, but the backyard of another house.
The person who took us motioned for us to go to the gazebo and wait, and then retreated.
I was so nervous that I didn't notice that the mark of the secret door was clearly visible in the moonlight: it was the shape of my birthmark again!
The words that Sheng Ge said to me before entering the door just now are still in my ears: "From now on, you will be the princess of the Warring States!" ”
She wants me to use her identity to enter the palace to find clues about the Holy Gu?
Admittedly, this is an excellent method, I am not as smart as her, I attract attention in the light to cover her, and she can help me find the Holy Gu and the clues to the treasure in the dark.
It's just that what if I take her identity and can't return it to her?
Doesn't she care?
Although I have never been polite to her, I have been sincere with her. But if you exchange identities with her, you still feel guilty in your heart.
She didn't care, she was even a little excited, and seemed to be very satisfied with the plan.
The second prince finally came slowly and leisurely, looking me up and down
"She?"
"That's right, I found it for you, and you should fulfill what you promised me, right?"
I smacked it, thinking that I might have been sold by Shengge.
The second prince chuckled: "Are you sure she is willing to enter the palace for you?" ”
The tone is very spoiled, it is an old acquaintance.
"She willing."
The second prince looked at me, and I nodded vigorously, stupid.
"Do you think the palace doesn't recognize her as a fake princess?"
"Do you think they care about the princess?"
The second prince tapped his fingers on the table, looked at my face playfully, and said to Shengge: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown a lot." ”
That's it, I'm confused.
"Second brother, you and I have known each other since childhood, although I saved you when I was a child, but you also saved me, and sent someone to teach me carefully, you don't owe me anything after so many years, I still have what I want to do, I don't want to have regrets."
The second prince's face was slightly cold: "But you..."
"I've made up my mind! I don't have a few years left, and even if the road ahead is difficult, even if I can't find those treasures in the end, I won't regret it. ”
"Then it's up to you..."
The second prince was a little angry and walked away.
I was also very angry: "You just lie to me and scare me!" You've known each other for a long time! ”
"I didn't lie to you, I haven't seen you in years..."
"What an initiative to sit still! Fake. ”
"Really, if you wait for him to plan, then we all have to listen to him! Now he's going to listen to us! ”
Oh...
I looked at Sheng Ge and licked my lips: "How many years do you have to live?" ”
"Five years..." Shengge still doesn't matter.
"When I was a child, I was taken captive by the Luo Tart clan of the Min and Han Dynasties, where I met Zhan Xiao. Later, when my mother came to save me, she rescued him first... I was left there to be a Gu tester for their Gu arts, and he was always guilty. ”
"After my mother died, he secretly rescued me, and he took care of me all these years."
The depression in my heart was even more unbearable.
I turned away from her.
It turned out that the reason why she said in the dungeon that she wouldn't die was not because of King Zhannan... It's because of her modified body...
Sheng Ge moved to my side and gently patted my back: "The ancients said that it is enough to die at the end of the day. It's not terrible to die, just live enough! ”
I turned around and scolded: "Sooner or later, the vicious place of Min Han will be destroyed!" ”
"It's easy to destroy a country, but it's hard to save a country..."
Do not understand...
But it doesn't matter, what Shengge says is always right.
Sheng Ge touched my hair, looked into the distance with a cold look, a sneer crossed his lips, and then there was no expression anymore.
At night we stayed in this yard where I don't know where, and I didn't dare to sleep on my own, so I squeezed into her bed and took her hand to sleep.
"Can you not die?"
"I can't..."
"Is there no solution?"
"If I forcibly untie the Gu now, I may become an idiot..."
"Oh, forget it..."
My palms were a little sweaty, and Sheng Ge changed hands with a little disgust to pull for me.
She always dislikes me verbally, but treats me like a sister in behavior.
Images flashed through my mind, as if I had slept with someone's hand like this when I was a child.
I started to feel sad again, and I even sobbed
"If you become an idiot, I can raise you..."
"I don't want to be an idiot..."
"Oh..."
"Ah Jin, when you enter the palace, there is still a long way to go, my time is running out, you must grow up quickly."
"Hmm"
I want to protect you...
"In two days, the third prince will go to the border city, and the second brother will return to the royal city with you on the pretext of returning to the city to restore his life."
"The situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and the road is full of dangers. Second brother can't expose himself too much, so you guys act as high-profile as you can all the way! The higher the profile, the more jealous the people who are staring at you will be, and it will be difficult to attack you. ”
It's a pity that Shengge is a girl, if it's a boy, it's okay if she wants this country!
"The holy Gu of the Min and Han dynasties is also called the life-sustaining Gu by the Three Kingdoms, and the one in the Warring States is in the hands of the King of Zhannan himself. It's impossible to snatch this Holy Gu, we have to exchange with him! ”
"How?" What do I get in exchange?
"Treasure! There are five trap fragments of the treasure. ”
"He has stolen a piece from my mother, I have a piece in my hand, and another piece I found out is in the pear orchard! When I get that piece, we'll be sure that we can exchange the fragments for the Holy Gu! ”
"What about the treasure? Aren't you going to get it back for yourself? If we give it to him, won't we give it away? “
"Give him a fake..."
"Oh·····"
"There are few people in the world who have seen this token, and the fake one is also made of the same material, and he can't tell the real from the fake."
"King Zhannan has only had one piece for so long, but we can give him two, you can put together the pieces in front of him casually, deceive him, and the second brother will cooperate with you in acting."
"After he trusts you completely, he will take the initiative to ask you to find more for him without you saying it!"
"You make more trouble on the road, delay the time, I'll go to the pear orchard and find another fragment and go to meet you."
The plan was perfect, but...
"Are you in danger?"
"I said I couldn't die..."
Oh·····
"You don't want to die, okay..."
"Not good..."
Oh·····
