Chapter 30: The Hanging Bait

Du Xiaomeng didn't hear the conversation between Shangguan Hong and Lingling, and she didn't know how long she had fainted, she only knew that she was woken up by a basin of cold water pouring down her head and covering her head.

When she woke up from the bone-chilling cold water, the first thing she saw was Shangguan Hong and Lingling standing in front of the bed. Shangguan Hong held a wooden basin dripping with water in his hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "Miss Du, we meet again." ”

Du Xiaomeng was excited, she quickly sat up and touched her face, and the thin layer of human skin mask on her face was gone! This discovery made her heart sink little by little, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Miss Du, you really have the ability to come out of the general's mansion and leave the heavily guarded capital to come here. It's a pity that in the end, you fell short in our hands. Shangguan Hong's smile was a little proud, and he was very satisfied with Du Xiaomeng's performance after learning that the disguise had been recognized.

Du Xiaomeng didn't need to look in the mirror to know that his face must be ugly at this time.

When did Shangguan Hong see that she was transfigured? No, it shouldn't be him, when Zhan Qi called her to Shangguan Hong at noon, Shangguan Hong was just suspicious of her origin and identity, and he didn't seem to have seen anything wrong with her appearance at that time. Du Xiaomeng's eyes fell on the little girl beside Shangguan Hong, recalling the eyes of the little girl standing aside and looking at her this afternoon, and thinking that the little girl was also present when Shangguan Hong led someone to arrest her. I always felt that this little girl was not an ordinary person, could it be that it was this little girl who saw through her disguise?

No matter who found out her identity, in this sensitive period of the struggle for power, she who has some friendship with Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng fell into the hands of Shangguan Hong, and what will happen next will definitely not be a good thing, and the worst case will be - death.

Du Xiaomeng bit her lip and tugged at the sheets under her tightly with both hands, so as to control herself from showing panic in front of Shangguan Hong and Lingling.

She raised her head and looked at Shangguan Hong and asked, "May I ask how Lord Shangguan found out that I was transfigured?" "She is very careful about her actions in front of people after she changes her appearance, Aunt Yang's disguise skills are okay, and her acting skills should be pretending to be a teenager without any flaws. Acting skills are one of the survival skills that she Du Xiaomeng has always been most confident and proud of, but now it is very likely that her skills are not perfect enough to get the disguise to be recognized. Therefore, although she was scared in her heart, she still wanted to ask Shangguan Hong to understand and figure out what was wrong.

Perhaps out of a kind of mentality that the winner despises the loser, Shangguan Hong doesn't mind telling Du Xiaomeng the truth. He looked at Lingling and said with a smile: "Thanks to the official who brought the Lingling girl with him, if there is no Lingling girl's discerning eyes that can see through the disguise, the official will also be deceived by you, Miss Du." ”

Listening to Shangguan Hong's answer, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but glance at Lingling, only to see that there was no change in the expression on that innocent face, and a pair of eyes were as calm as a pool of bottomless water. At this time, the spirit looked very different from what Du Xiaomeng had seen before, and her body exuded an aura that was very inconsistent with her appearance and age. Du Xiaomeng finally figured it out, it turned out that it was not his acting skills that had a problem, but that he had met a master, and this master not only had a pair of sharp eyes, but also had the ability to hide his true face very deeply.

Du Xiaomeng lowered her head, closed her eyes and asked, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I could hear Shangguan Hong smile happily and said: "As far as this official knows, Miss Du has a very good relationship with the prince, and this official wants to trouble Miss Du to help persuade the prince to persuade him to surrender to the third prince, and stop making useless resistance." ”

Du Xiaomeng was about to open his mouth to explain that his friendship with Yu Tianzheng was actually not so deep, but Shangguan Hong, who was very polite, said loudly outside: "Someone! ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers entered and asked, "What do you command?" ”

Shangguan Hong put his hands behind his back, looked at Du Xiaomeng calmly, and said with a smile: "Hang Miss Du on the highest flagpole in the camp." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The two soldiers took the order and pounced on Du Xiaomeng, Du Xiaomeng intended to resist, and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do to me?" ”

Shangguan Hong hooked the corners of his mouth, didn't explain, just said to the two soldiers: "Take her away!" ”

Unable to allow Du Xiaomeng to resist, the two tall, powerful and powerful soldiers brought her to the highest flagpole in the camp like chickens, and quickly got a large bundle of hemp rope thicker than her thumb, and tied Du Xiaomeng to the top position with neat movements, and then hung her on the flagpole and pulled her to the highest position.

The flagpole was well positioned, facing the gate of the barracks, and all the scenes in front of the barracks could be clearly seen; The flagpole was very high, so high that after Du Xiaomeng was hung up, the few people who looked down at their feet felt that they had become smaller, and this height made her very worried, if the flagpole was not stable enough and broken, if she fell to the ground from the apex, even if she didn't die, she would definitely end up with a broken hand and foot to cripple.

Shangguan Hong looked up at Du Xiaomeng, who was hanging on the flagpole and swaying, and said in that very polite tone: "Miss Du, I want to wronged you for the time being." As he spoke, he glanced at the gate of the barracks, "The prince will attack the barracks in two ways tonight, one team will feint from the front, and the other team will take a small road and lurk in the rear to wait." After the attacking team in front has led our army out in pursuit, they will notify the prince lurking in the rear with fireworks, and then the prince will personally lead his troops to attack the camp. Miss Du, as long as you find a way to persuade him when the prince comes, the official will put you down. ”

Du Xiaomeng looked at him coldly and said, "Lord Shangguan can't help but think too highly of me, right?" How can I have such a great ability to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I'm afraid you'll be in vain. ”

Shangguan Hong smiled disapprovingly and said, "It doesn't matter, if Miss Du you can't persuade the prince, this official will have to use other methods." ”

After that, Shangguan Hong no longer paid attention to Du Xiaomeng, and ordered the soldiers next to him: "Set off fireworks." ”

The soldier took out a firework and lit it, and the fireworks flew into the sky with a "bang" sound, blooming a brilliant light in the night sky, dyeing the flying snow into a moment of brilliance, and then quickly withered and disappeared into the vast snowy sky.
