"Brother, what do you think of my performance?"

Nan Huaxin asked softly while carefully dressing Yao Shuang, hoping to alleviate his pain by speaking.

Yao Shuang's face twisted into a figure-eight shape, although it was painful, but he still endured it and didn't shout.

The candles flickered, and the sounds of hawking, clamour, and the gossip of passers-by could still be heard outside the inn window.

I don't know how long it took, but she finally finished this heavy and meticulous work, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from her smooth forehead, Yao Shuang was even more exaggerated, and her clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

He slowly put on his underwear, turned his shoulders and aimed at the light, only to see that the whole black scar was deeply dented, and the scab was covered with a layer of black, yellow, black and yellow soil.

This is a more delicate job, and the doctor said that if the scab is allowed to fall off on its own, there will always be some unsightly marks left on the flesh.

Yao Shuang didn't care, but she couldn't stand Nan Huaxin's chatter all day long, so she picked up those mud scars, but new scars grew every day, and when she arrived at the Scourge Legion, she couldn't blatantly let her go in and out of her room, right?

Yao Shuang had a headache for this matter, it is said that the natural disaster and the supreme alliance, then Tao Yuxiang and Hua Shengxiang also worked together in the alliance, how to maintain this relationship without being discovered, this is the next problem they have to consider.

Difficulties are solved, but new problems always appear, and life is always so unsatisfactory.

Before the two of them arrived in Yangzhou, they found an inn to recuperate and rest, and they went out every day to find out a lot of news, but it was too much time to recuperate from their injuries, and it was not a way to find something to do.

Analyzing the situation in Yangzhou, the Fenglin Alliance and the Moonlight Department have a deep feud, naturally they can't intersect, and the academy faction is also difficult to deal with, if the Fenglin Alliance is an enemy, then they have to do everything they can to make Fenglin nauseous, thinking about it, they aimed at the Natural Calamity Legion and the Supreme Imperial Family in Xicheng.

After several days of careful interrogation, Yao Shuang sometimes turned into a literati on a small river boat, sometimes a drunk in the Xicheng Restaurant, sometimes went to the gambling house to win two gold coins back, and sometimes went to the teahouse to take a nap.

There are four or five days left before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two stay in the inn every day to meditate, how can they make an alliance between the two families and then win over the world?

First of all, the first point, the two imitated the thinking habits of Yan Yunxing, of course, it does not mean that he often touches his nose and chin, or is in a daze, but from which angle will he state the benefits and disadvantages? Which angle can be fast, accurate, and to the point?

In fact, it is nothing more than the perspective of win-win cooperation and harm, but what kind of statement can be more vivid and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

This is the second point to do, in order to achieve this goal, the two of them have been practicing in the room day and day, such as how Nan Huaxin has to behave in order to be excavated by the supreme person, and feel that she is a talent and be invited to the station, only this, the two have practiced for a long time, and this is neither mediocre nor exaggerated, and the words are decent.

Next is the rhetoric of the two, Nan Huaxin plays Hua Shengxiang, Yao Shuang pretends to be the supreme boss, and makes it difficult for her in every way, so that she is desperate for countless times at that time, and finally deduces the questions that may be asked countless times, and the two of them answer them one by one, all in mind, and then the replacement of roles, and the same countless questions and answers, which finalized this bold plan.

The third point is to choose the object, at the beginning Nan Huaxin proposed that the natural disaster legion belong to her, but Yao Shuang thought about it carefully, the natural disaster is more than the supreme, although the combat effectiveness is almost the same, but vaguely inquired that its gang leader Alsace is a small tyrant in the world of science and technology, and the economic strength is obviously slightly higher, and the rumors about the alliance within the Supreme are very loud, obviously the Supreme is more urgent about the alliance, and the hard bone of the natural disaster is handed over to him to gnaw.

Fourth, the plan after successfully gaining the trust of the leaders of both sides, during this period, the two must not meet at the inn, this time is the most difficult, how to calm down and behave like a master, this is a great test of the acting skills of the two, until any of the leaders of the party open their mouths to say about the initiative of the alliance, they can come to visit, he and the two must not speak, which will also have a great impact on the status of the two in the alliance in the future.

To put it bluntly, for example, Nan Huaxin, you can also talk about it in the future, you see, you said it yourself, it wasn't me who instigated you, how good it would be to listen to my calm breath earlier, isn't the position of the leader of the alliance yours? This will invisibly increase the prestige of Hua Shengxiang's identity within the Supreme. Yao Shuang is the same, if the alliance is successful, the status of the two will rise, and it will be almost effortless, and they will win the position of military advisor for nothing with their two mouths.

The last point, and the most important point, is the duel between Hua Shengxiang and Tao Yuxiang, the two must do their best to fight for the interests of their respective leaders, and the grasp of expressions and their respective questions and answers must also complement each other, sometimes they need to go-for-tat, sometimes they need to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and sometimes they have to secretly give each other a step, and then cooperate with body movements and voice expressions to finally complete this big play.

Fortunately, more than ten days of intense rehearsals were finally not in vain, and the second disciple of the Poison Centipede Legion and the Yan Poison Demon who died at the end of the world became the military advisor of the second largest alliance that was about to be born in Yangzhou.

Yao Shuang got dressed and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why are you so fast?" Yao Shuang was referring to the speed at which Nan Huaxin returned to the inn.

Nan Huaxin poured half a basin of water, and replied while washing her hands: "I'll go back and explain the situation and leave, winning the name of the alliance is already a surprise for the Supreme, rest assured, they will never doubt it." ”

"Oh......" Yao Shuang nodded slightly, took out the disguise material from the package, sat down at the table and began to make a new mask skin.

In fact, this disguise technique is an extremely difficult and complex craft to learn, and it is even more difficult to make the same face, fortunately, Yao Shuang has been proficient in this way since he was a child, although it is impossible to be exactly the same as Tao Yuxiang, but it is enough to have a seven or eight points of God.

At this time, Nan Huaxin wiped her hands and sat opposite, staring at the handsome and serious face without blinking, and only felt a warm current surging in her heart, just looking at him like this already felt very happy.

"Humph!" Yao Shuang snorted lightly without raising her head, and asked with a cold face, "What did you ask me at the beginning?" ”

"Oh oh......" Nan Huaxin was a little flustered, her little face was like two delicate red apples, and she hurriedly pretended to pick up the wick with a thin needle, and stammered: "What's that...... What do you think of my performance? ”

"Not good!" Yao Shuang showed no mercy.

"What went wrong?" When Nan Huaxin heard this, although she was a little unconvinced, she still sincerely lowered her posture and humbly asked for advice.

Yao Shuang glanced up at her, lowered her head and glued her slender beard intently, and said casually: "The matter of the alliance, you proposed it a little early, even very abruptly, think about what you would say if you were your master?" ”

Nan Huaxin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "If you replace me with my master, I'm afraid that the disadvantage of the Supreme will be reversed, and it will be nothing for you......"

Yao Shuang's hand shook, almost sticking his beard into his nostrils, coughed lightly twice, and said with some embarrassment: "The result is good, cough cough...... Summarize the successful experience and improve the deficiencies......"

Nan Huaxin covered her small mouth and chuckled, glanced at Yao Shuang arrogantly, didn't speak again, got up and packed her bags.

As soon as Yao Shuang mentioned Yan Yunxing, he suddenly remembered that the two of them had not had any news for a long time, and the sect leader had to be in a hurry?

Thinking like this, he said: "You're okay now, write a letter to Suzhou, so that the sect leader doesn't have to worry." ”

Nan Huaxin also had this intention, nodded and was about to go out to call Xiao Er, as soon as the door opened, she heard a slight snake roar, although she was Yan Yunxing's disciple, but after all, she had never been exposed to the five poisons, these sounds still made her a little nervous, and hurriedly ran back to Yao Shuang, tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered: "There is a snake!" ”

"Heard ......" Yao Shuang sneered and said without raising her head, "What are snakes afraid of?" It's a shame that you're still the sect leader's apprentice, so you can't make people laugh when you say it......"

Yao Shuang felt that something was wrong as she spoke, how could a snake run out of the inn for no reason? Even if there is a snake hole, snakes generally don't make such blatant noises!

Yao Shuang immediately stopped what he was doing, got up and walked lightly to the door, just about to open the door, but heard a "whoosh" sound, a thin snake with a whole body green suddenly burst out of the narrow door crack, Yao Shuang hurriedly flashed to the side, and at the same time leaned out two fingers and quickly pinched the snake body seven inches, just about to be ruthless, but saw the snake stuck out his tongue at him, Yao Shuang's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there seemed to be something hidden in the jaw of the snake's mouth, and hurriedly ripped off his fingers, and the green snake slowly wrapped around his arm.

Yao Shuang was secretly a little surprised in his heart, even if the snake of the Five Poisons Sect would never be so close, not to mention that it was still a snake from a foreign country, it must have its purpose in doing this. Yao Shuang thought so and spread out his palm, the green snake raised his little head and looked at him, and then spit out a thumb-sized cylindrical wooden pipe from his mouth, and after spitting it out, he swooped into the basin and wandered, Yao Shuang glanced at Nan Huaxin, who was confused, walked to the oil lamp in three or two steps, and said excitedly: "Hurry up, change a basin of water for it, go downstairs and ask Xiao Er for some meat, this is the snake of our Five Poison Sect, so I will entertain it." ”

After Yao Shuang finished speaking, she saw that Nan Huaxin was still motionless, and explained with a smile: "It's okay, your family won't bite you, go quickly." ”

Nan Huaxin just went out of the door, Yao Shuang hurriedly held the wooden pipe in front of the oil lamp, gently shook out a waterproof cloth, unfolded the cloth, and it was a small note, opened the note, and finally saw the cursive handwriting of the sect leader.

Yao Shuang put the note in front of the oil lamp, frowned and patiently read it word by word, which wasted a lot of effort, until Nan Huaxin brought meat, changed the water, and even let down her guard to play with the green snake, and then read it all.

There are three approximate meanings in Yan Yunxing's letter: first, the snake's name is Xiao Lu, and the letter is sealed with a tarpaulin, hidden in a wooden pipe, and handed to Xiao Lu, and it will swallow it in its mouth and take it away; Second, Nangong Jin came up to find them in the north, remember to notify if there is news, and Xiao Lu will run back and forth to deliver the news; Third, tell the current situation, and if there is a difficulty, he will send someone to help as appropriate.

After reading it, Yao Shuang wiped the sweat on her forehead, burned the letter, and didn't care about complaining about the bohemianism of "Yan's cursive writing", so she went downstairs and asked Xiao Er for a pen and paper, returned to the room, studied ink and picked up a pen, and prepared to reply to the letter.

The reply also made three points. First, he clarified the situation, and did not elaborate on the injury, only saying that the mercenary alliance was a great enemy, and Jinyang Town had the information he had collected; Second, Nan Huaxin will take care of it carefully, and will also carefully probe Nangong Jin's movements, please rest assured; Third, whether to wait for the injury to return to Jinyang, or continue to stay in Yangzhou, ask him to reply to decide.

Yao Shuang just hid the letter in the woodpipe, but heard a rush of footsteps on the stairs outside the door, accompanied by a violent quarrel, hurriedly put the woodpipe next to Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu took a mouthful of it into his mouth and "swished" out of the window, and Nan Huaxin quickly hid her figure, Yao Shuang quickly put on a fake skin, at this moment, the door was pushed open with a palm, and a man and a woman broke in, it was Kilgardan and Yun Shui Yu.

When Kilgardan saw Tao Yuxiang sitting firmly at the head of the bed, he immediately bowed down and clenched his fists, and said, "Master Tao, it's me who is reckless." ”

The shopkeeper behind Yun Shui Yu saw that the three of them seemed to know each other, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead, said a disturb, and left behind closed doors.

"Why are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?" Tao Yuxiang smiled slightly, moved his body slightly, and perfectly covered his shadow with Nan Huaxin's pretty shadow.

"Master Tao said and laughed, but I didn't see Master Tao's return for a long time, and I ...... in my heart" Yun Shui Yu didn't finish his sentence, but he saw Tao Yuxiang waved his hand, and said with a smile: "The two of you, please go downstairs and wait for a while, Tao is practicing to the critical point, and I have to change my clothes, it will take a lot of time, and it will be troublesome." ”

Kilgardan and the others nodded slightly, bowed and left, Yao Shuang waited until the door was closed, then secretly relieved, hurriedly jumped from the head of the bed to the table, poured the disfigured thing in his arms on the table, and helped Nan Huaxin make a fake face.

Nan Huaxin also showed her figure at this time, and began to pack her bags in a hurry, the two of them divided their labor, Yao Shuang only whispered, and came to the inn to apply the medicine in the future, or when she saw the opportunity, she was no longer distracted, and focused on pinching the three wrinkles on her face.
