Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Master of Masters
Du Xiaomeng returned to the cooking camp, Brother Jin and the others had not yet cleaned up the mess after lunch, so she hurriedly joined the ranks of cleaning up.
Dirty dishes and chopsticks were thrown in a mess in several large wooden basins and soaked in water, Du Xiaomeng squatted in front of those large wooden basins and washed hard, washing and washing, she felt that her eyes fell on her body, and she didn't move away for a long time. The gaze was too obvious for her to ignore.
Putting down the work in her hand and raising her head to find the source of her gaze, Du Xiaomeng soon saw a little girl standing a few meters away, holding a puppet in her arms and looking at her quietly. The little girl was about the same age as Zhan Li, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and a northern barbarian face.
Although Du Xiaomeng, who has only been to the Light of the North twice, has not had the opportunity to meet this "boss's little daughter", and she doesn't know much about the Light of the North and doesn't know what the identity of this little girl is, she has long heard that Shangguan Hong brought a little girl to the barracks. When she heard about that, she thought about it like Zhan Qi, and always felt that Shangguan Hong would not bring a little girl to the barracks for no reason. Those who can follow Shangguan Hong's left and right are afraid that it will not be as simple as an ordinary Beiban little girl.
The little girl appeared in the cooking camp far away from the main camp, looking at her, Du Xiaomeng's mind involuntarily flashed the figures of Ah Zhuo and Qiu Sha, and her heart immediately became vigilant.
The little girl looked no different from an ordinary child, she didn't make any strange moves, just stood aside and looked at Du Xiaomeng. Du Xiaomeng raised her eyes and looked around, and the rest of the cooking camp were busy, as if they didn't notice the existence of the little girl. Du Xiaomeng pretended not to care and looked at her, and then lowered her head to wash the bowl as if nothing happened.
Try to control your eyes not to look in the direction of the little girl, and your head can be lowered as low as you can. When she had washed all the dishes in the tub, she looked up and found that the place where the little girl had been standing was empty, and there was no sign of her when she looked around.
Looking up at the sky, overcast dense clouds dominated the entire sky, preventing a trace of sunlight from shining through. This gloomy weather made Du Xiaomeng feel depressed, and the little girl who suddenly appeared in the cooking camp and left silently just now poured an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
After Ling Ling left the cooking camp, he walked straight to Shangguan Hong's tent. When she returned to the tent, Shangguan Hong was sitting at the table looking at a topographical map.
You don't have to go through the notification of the soldiers guarding the tent to get in, and there is only one spirit in the whole barracks. Shangguan Hong didn't raise his head and said, "Did you find anything outside?" ”
The spirit sat down beside the stove, threw the puppet in his arms to the ground, and said, "I found a very suspicious person in the cooking camp. ”
"Oh?" Shangguan Hong's gaze moved away from the topographic map to look at Ling Ling, touched his beard and asked, "Who is that person?" ”
The corners of Lingling's mouth hooked up a strange smile that was not appropriate for her age, and said, "It's the kid who newly enlisted in the army." ”
"Is that him?" Originally, the suspicion of the recruit had been alleviated, but he didn't expect Ling Ling to come back with such an unexpected discovery, and the expression on Shangguan Hong's face couldn't help but become solemn. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's suspicious about him?" ”
"When a woman dresses up as a man, that face is also easy to disguise." Ling Ling looked at Shangguan Hong, leaned back in his chair and said slowly.
"What? Is that kid a woman? Shangguan Hong asked in disbelief.
Lingling replied in the affirmative, "Yes." Although she deliberately concealed her figure and pretended to be a man, she could still see that she was a woman on closer inspection. ”
Shangguan Hong's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about the reliability of this information. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "Must it be a woman disguised as a man?" ”
"Lord Shangguan, are you doubting my abilities?" Lingling stared at Shangguan Hong with a smile.
Shangguan Hong smiled slightly in a Confucian demeanor and said, "How can I doubt Miss Lingling's ability? It's just a matter of being sure. ”
Shangguan Hong wasn't saying anything against his will, he had never doubted Lingling's ability.
Lingling is the most powerful intelligence spy master hidden in the light of the north, as long as she wants to know, there is basically no information she can't spy on; At the same time, she is also a master of disguise, and now her face as a teenage girl is just one of her faces in front of everyone, and the identity of the youngest daughter of the boss of the Northern Light is just one of her many false identities. Even Shangguan Hong hadn't seen her true face, and he hadn't even figured out whether she was a real Northern Barbarian. Lingling's true appearance, real age, real origin, everything is a mystery.
Before, it was because of Lingling's help that Qiu Sha was able to easily reveal Du Xiaomeng's identity as a substitute for marriage, and secretly revealed Lin Xinru's hiding place to Lin Furong. If there was no Lingling at that time, Qiusha, who rarely walked around, would never have been able to set off so many small waves in a short period of time.
Zhan Qi and Du Xiaomeng's suspicions about this little girl who came to the barracks with Shangguan Hong were correct, she was indeed not an ordinary little girl. It's just that neither of them thought of what kind of amazing truth was hidden behind Lingling's innocent face.
If the two of them had known the true identity of the spirit earlier, then everything that happened later might have been avoided; The two sections of the road in front of the two of them may be less than a few turns and turns.
