Chapter 48: Instead
Due to the arrival of the Count of Tourso at noon today, the entire tavern was cleared, and there was no one on the third floor.
After setting up the Gu worms, Situ Cao and Zhao Qiqi hid in the opposite room.
After confirming that there were no other idlers waiting in the tavern except for the boss and three helpers on the first floor, Du Deming and Wang Yi hid in the wide closet.
Only Zhang Qiang and I sadly got under the bed.
Everything is ready to end, and now it is only a matter of waiting for the arrival of the Count of Turso.
I don't know how long it took, but footsteps sounded not far away.
I immediately tensed up and held my breath from under the bed and looked in the direction of the door.
With a creak, the door opened.
After the sound of small footsteps, several people walked in.
A rugged middle-aged man's voice came: "Lord Earl, do you really want to take the risk and go to the castle of the rumored female demon to investigate?" If the information is correct, the recent cases in nearby villages and towns should be related to her. ”
I looked cautiously out and saw a man in a gorgeous costume sitting on a chair at the dining table not far away.
Looks like the Count of Turso.
At this time, he was pinching his eyebrows with a sad face.
After sighing, he slowly spoke: "But no matter what, she is my cousin after all, and the meaning of all the upper echelons of the royal family is to ask me to come and check it out in person, after all, this is related to the majesty of the family, and it must be handled carefully." ”
"But as your most loyal guard, Lebed, I would not advise you to enter the castle of Countess Mary with less than twenty men." The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Count Tourso.
Count Turso waved his hand, and suddenly, the guards standing at the door consciously retreated and closed the door.
At this time, only the two people left in the room, Count Tourso and Lebed.
Lebed was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
The Count of Turso frowned slightly, he couldn't think of anyone so bold as to openly challenge his authority, especially when he had just ordered the door to be closed.
"Come in." Count Turso's voice was a little cold.
The door to the room was opened again, and footsteps were heard.
In the next second, a female voice that was not unfamiliar sounded.
"Dear Earl, I have been sent by the Countess to entertain you in advance. Please use black tea for both of you. ”
Is it Zhao Qiqi's voice?
She just came in like this?
Before he was surprised by her boldness, the Count of Tourso spoke: "Thank you for me, countess, this tea is good. ”
With that, he and Lebed both picked up their cups and drank them.
"No thanks, this is for the two of you." Zhao Qiqi's voice was slightly sarcastic.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Turso, who had just been calm and relaxed, lying directly on the table, and Lebed, who was about to fall on the side, was quickly supported by Zhao Qiqi and Situ Caoyan, who were mixed in.
"Hurry up and help!"
It wasn't until Zhao Qiqi's voice sounded again that I reacted, kicked Zhang Qiang, who was about to fall asleep next to me, and hurriedly turned over and crawled out from underneath.
Du Deming and Wang Yi, who heard the voice, also quickly climbed out of the closet.
A minute later, Zhang Qiang and I placed the unconscious Tulso and Lebede side by side on the ground.
"You guys are so good, how did you do it?" Zhang Qiang kicked the two who were already asleep in a startled manner.
Zhao Qiqi smiled slightly: "I just asked Sister Situ to put a sleeping Gu in their tea." ”
"No wonder you dared to walk in so blatantly." I can't help but sigh.
Looking at the two lying down, Wang Yi looked at Zhao Qiqi: "Then what should we do next?" ”
Zhao Qiqi squinted his eyes and swept his gaze away from a few of us with a strange expression.
Finally, the gaze rested on me.
I looked at myself uncomfortably, and before I could speak, I saw Zhao Qiqiyi pointing at me: "It's you, from now on, you are the Count of Turso." ”
"What?" I pointed to myself suspiciously: "What did you say?" ”
Situ Cao subconsciously looked out of the door and motioned for me to be quiet.
I realized my gaffe, but I still looked at Zhao Qiqi with a puzzled expression.
"Seventy-seven means that from now on, you will take the place of Count Tourso and blend into the castle." Situ Cao kindly explained.
I realized this, but I still looked at her with some puzzlement: "It's okay for me to play Turso, but I look completely different from him!" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Zhao Qiqi and Situ Cao glanced at each other.
Situ Cao smiled, looked at me and said, "Our Situ family has an ancestral skill, which is the disguise technique, and I will help you become no different from him in a while." ”
When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and he looked at the other person lying on the ground: "What about me?" Isn't it just playing the Bader next to him? ”
Zhao Qiqi shook his head: "Lebed is the bravest guard beside Turso, and it is not suitable for you to play it." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Du Deming, who was speechless next to her: "I think it's most appropriate for Xiao Ming to play it." ”
After listening to this, Du Deming just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Qiang looked at Wang Yi and Situ Cao, a little aggrieved: "What about us?" How can we get into the castle? ”
Zhao Qiqi blinked and smiled mysteriously: "The two of us came in from outside just now, what do you think I found?" ”
"What?" Everyone asked in unison.
She played with her hair, a little carelessly: "I saw that this fellow Tulso brought not only guards, but also a cook and two maidservants. So ......"
"So, Zhang Qiang can enter the castle as a chef accompanying Tuerso, and the two of you will play the two maidservants, as for Wang Yi...... "I looked at Wang Yi, who didn't have an identity, and I was a little entangled.
"What is he going to do?" Zhang Qiang asked.
"It's simple, just let me replace one of the guards." Wang Yi added by himself.
And when they consulted with each other, they immediately concocted it as they had said.
Du Deming and I quickly changed into Turso and Lebed's clothes, and Situ Cao used a special method to change the two of us and change our voices.
After pouring tea into the teacup prepared by Situ Cao in advance, a few people except me and Du Deming quickly hid it. Then I called two maidservants, a guard, and the accompanying cook into the room.
Let a few people drink the tea, as Zhao Qiqi expected, although several people were a little suspicious, but no one dared to disobey the order of Count Tilso.
After a few seconds, they all fell into a deep stupor.
The others changed their clothes according to the original plan, and then Situ Cao changed their faces.
I put away the invitation to the castle and the road map, and when I got up, I was exactly the Count of Turso.
"Are you sure it really won't show off?" I looked at Zhao Qiqi with some concern.
