Chapter 384: Human Skin Mask
The three of them discussed the plan in this way, and Liu Yingjiang soon spread the news that the antidote to the radical cure of the plague had been developed, and the epidemic could be solved within three days.
"Liu Yingjiang, what if the person behind it refuses to show up?" Gao Weihu was a little worried, it has been two days since the news was announced, but the people behind the scenes have not moved, they originally guessed that the people behind the scenes would definitely send people to detect the truth or falsehood, but there was no movement in the courtyard at all.
"That man is really smart enough, maybe he is thinking about the truth of this, we can't just spread the news, we need to add another fire." Liu Yingjiang hooked his lips and smiled, already a little sure between his eyebrows.
"So what should we do?" Gao Weihu was a little puzzled, and Liu Yingjiang said in a low voice: "If we find a person who is infected with the epidemic and let them appear like a normal person, the person behind the scenes will inevitably be suspicious, and this person will become his target." ”
"But...... It is not difficult for people to be sick, they abound in the backyard, but they can help us, this ......" They all thought of the same person, Wu Qingfeng.
Liu Yingjiang's brows furrowed slightly: "Wu Qingfeng is infected with the epidemic and his martial arts are lost, so it is a little inappropriate to let him be the bait." ”
Gao Weihu suddenly thought of a way, and her eyes were shining, and she hurriedly said, "Liu Yingjiang, do you know the disguise technique?" If you are disguised as Wu Qingfeng, those problems will be solved. ”
"Transfiguration?" Liu Yingjiang frowned slightly: "I've heard people mention it, but I'm not good at it." ”
Xiao Chu, who had not spoken, said in a low voice: "Transfiguration? But the human skin mask? ”
"General Xiao, don't you know?" Gao Weihu had a bit of expectation in his eyes, Xiao Chu tried to recall: "Three years ago, I led the troops to the expedition and stationed at the border pass, and there was a foreigner who sneaked into the barracks in the form of my deputy general and wanted to steal the military map, and I found out, at first I was surprised that his face was the same as the deputy general, and then I learned that he was wearing a human skin mask, which was shaped like a disguise technique. ”
"There really is such a method, but it is ...... How do we find this human skin mask? Gao Weihu sighed slightly, and Liu Yingjiang comforted her: "I wrote to ask my thief friend, and he is well-informed, maybe he knows. ”
Gu Yanran was painting, and a maid hurriedly came to report that Miss Gao was here, she hurriedly put down the ink pen in her hand and said, "Please let her in." ”
It just so happened that Yun Yun came to give Gu Yanran medicine to drink, and I heard her muttering in a low voice: "Miss, you have even seen a little maidservant, why don't you see those big people?" Even the Lord of Murong Pavilion can't even ...... to see you."
"Qiaoyun, what benefits did Murong Tian give you? Let you be here every day for him! Gu Yanran frowned and said, a little anger between her eyebrows.
Qiaoyun didn't seem to expect Gu Yanran to be so angry, so she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss, Qiaoyun lost her words, Miss don't be angry." ”
"Miss Gu." Gao Weihu walked into the pavilion, only to feel that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and saw Qiaoyun kneeling on the ground with a flustered face, and probably guessed a few points.
Gu Yanran glanced at Qiaoyun and said, "You go down first, if you don't have anything important, you don't have to come to tell me." Qiaoyun nodded and quickly walked away with the tray.
When Qiaoyun's figure walked away, Gao Weihu chuckled and said, "Why do you bother to be angry with a maid." ”
"Qiaoyun is like a demon these days, talking to me about Murong Tian every day, originally because of his father's relationship, he was willing to associate with him a little, but now he is disgusted with others mentioning him." Gu Yanran was a little displeased.
Gao Weihu sat down opposite her, said with a cup of tea to herself: "This can't be blamed on Qiaoyun, she is also thinking about your happiness, and now that you have turned him away, she is naturally anxious." ”
"What can a little girl know about her?" Gu Yanran was a little helpless: "She only saw how thoughtful Murong Tian treated me, but she didn't think about whether I was willing to accept it, and my father was the same, in the eyes of outsiders, too." ”
"But now that the dust has not yet settled on the martial arts alliance leader, how could your father allow you to be friendly with Murong Tian? What if the leader of the alliance has someone else? Gao Weihu was a little puzzled, Gu Yanran lowered her eyes and smiled a little helplessly: "No, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance must be him." ”
"How do you know?" Gao Weihu suddenly thought of something, there must be something strange about this alliance leader, since the patriarch already has the intention of marrying Gu Yanran to Murong Tian, then this next alliance leader must be him, if the patriarch's internal determination will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from the outside world, then how can Murong Tian become the patriarch? They're all so sure.
Gu Yanran said: "After this plague, the master of the Beishu Sect died, the master of the Poison Pavilion was infected with the plague and lost all his strength, and the other sects also suffered heavy losses, if they were chosen again, the strength of Chaotian Pavilion would definitely be far above them." ”
"I didn't expect you to care about those martial arts things." Gao Weihu was indeed a little surprised, but Gu Yanran shook her head the next moment, lowered her voice and said to Gao Weihu: "I never cared about martial arts matters, but on the day I returned to the villa, my father told me this, so that I could get along with Murong Tian for a good life, and when he became the leader of the alliance in the future, it would be the day we got married." ”
"Patriarch ......" Gao Weihu faintly felt that something was wrong, if the patriarch and Murong Tian secretly stood in a team, and set up a plague situation for the position of the alliance leader, so that the strength of all factions would be greatly reduced, like this......
Gao Weihu was a little stunned in his heart, could it be that the patriarch and Murong Tian were the murderers behind this scene?
"Miss Gao, what are you thinking?" Gu Yanran saw that she was distracted, stretched out her hand and waved it lightly in front of her, Gao Weihu hid the emotions in her heart, and said, "I was just thinking, if you push the boat down the river like this, you and Murong Tian ......."
"I won't agree to this marriage." Gu Yanran said with a bit of determination: "I just die, and I don't want to be a pawn." ”
Gao Weihu didn't expect this Gu Yanran to be so strong, and he couldn't help but feel a little admired.
"The coming day is long, and it is impossible to know." Gao Weihu smiled lightly on his lips and looked at the water lilies in the lake, "Maybe there is a turnaround." ”
"Miss Gao, that Chaozhong General Xiao, but you're here?" Gu Yanran asked out loud, her eyes also looking into the distance.
"Huh?" Gao Weihu didn't expect her to ask like this, there were some differences, Gu Yanran slowly took a sip of tea and said: "The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with each other, and now General Xiao suddenly came forward and said that it was a bit far-fetched to say that it was for the plague, and you told me your identity last night, so I have this guess." ”
"Yes, General Xiao is my old friend, and he came to visit me by investigating the plague." Gao Weihu does not hide it, Gu Yanran is a trustworthy person.
"Even I can guess that General Xiao's intentions are not simple, let alone those people in the martial arts, you have to be cautious, don't reveal your identity, otherwise it will be difficult to get out." Gu Yanran was a little worried, Gao Yuhu nodded and smiled: "Miss Gu, you don't have to worry, we will act carefully." ”
Her eyes fell on a delicate locket on the table, the locket was made of transparent white jade, faintly bloodshot, and even more faint under the sunlight, Gao Weihu asked with a little curiosity: "This box looks so delicate, what is in it?" ”
"This is the Traceless Frost, which Murong Tian sent yesterday." Gu Yanran glanced at it lightly, as if she didn't want to mention it more.
"It's better to keep such a delicate object alive, and look at the face of things." Gao Weihu said with a smile, and suddenly remembered the glazed white hosta that Beitang Jinyu gave to her in the past, but she left her there when she left Qifeng Palace, and later Liu Yingjiang also gave her a very similar white hosta, which was very exquisite, but she was no longer interested in wearing a hairpin.
"Miss Gao, in fact, ......" Gu Yanran lowered her eyes and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "I envy you very much, at least, you are free now, and you are also by his side." ”
Gao Weihu understood what she meant, and saw that there was a little sadness and loneliness in her eyebrows, and suddenly she felt sad as if she saw herself in the old days.
She wiped away the emotion in her eyes and said slowly: "Miss Gu, I see that there are a lot of paintings on this table, they are very good-looking, and when you are in better health, I wonder if you will have time to teach me to draw in another courtyard?" ”
Gu Yanran looked at her and asked with a little uncertainty, "Is it really okay?" ”
"Hmm." Gao Weihu hooked his lips and chuckled, gently stroked the scrolls and said, "I want to paint a picture, I've been thinking about it for a long time." ”
Gu Yanran had a little smile between her eyebrows, thinking that she would be able to see Liu Yingjiang every day in the future, and she felt that she couldn't suppress her joy.
"If all this is really done by the patriarch and Murong Tian as you said, then who is the black-robed man I saw in the village that day? He is definitely not the patriarch nor Murong Tian, if it is said that the person who should be with him in the village is Murong Tian, it is somewhat possible. Liu Yingjiang thought about it and said slowly: "If the patriarch planted the plague, how could he release us from prison to develop an antidote, so that those martial arts sects would not be saved one by one, and how could Murong Tian win?" ”
Gao Weihu frowned and asked, "Could it be that he had to let us go in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent everyone from suspicious." ”
Liu Yingjiang shook his head, thinking that the patriarch in prison that day was provoked by himself but still let himself out, he must have been in a hurry to get an antidote.
He is the patriarch of the martial arts, how could he destroy most of the sect in order to consolidate his position, he is already in a high position, there is no need to do this.
"That patriarch is cunning and cunning, he won't do such a risky thing, if the culprit behind this plague is found out, it will definitely be attacked by the entire rivers and lakes, the patriarch can't afford such consequences, if it makes sense to say that he asked Gu Yanran to marry in order to consolidate his position, but it is puzzling to go to such a great length."
"Now the murderer is in the dark, we are in the light, everything must be careful." Gao Weihu was uneasy in his heart, and he speculated that although he had not determined that the patriarch and Murong Tian were the people behind it, they were also involved.
"It's good for you to stay by my side, this village is very chaotic, you have no force, if you encounter gangsters, how can you save yourself?" Liu Yingjiang looked at Gaowei Lake with an uneasy gaze, implying a little affection.
Gao Yuhu glanced at him and said, "What's so difficult about this, you can give me some drugs when you go back, and poison is fine, if anyone touches me, I will give it to him." ”
Liu Yingjiang couldn't help laughing, the gloom in his heart that was born of the plague was swept away, and he only felt that the people around him were becoming more and more cute, so that people couldn't take their eyes off.
