Chapter Twenty-Six: The Moon Is Dark and the Wind is High (1)
Late at night a day later.
Desert.
A girl with a beautiful figure hurried out of a tent. His face was blushing with a hint of a light smile. She lowered her face as soon as she stepped out of the tent, but she could still see her amazing beauty slightly by the moonlight. The dress on the body is still untidy. Sort it out roughly, and cover up what you have on your chest at will. Out of nowhere, the other hand took out a mask with the appearance of an underworld cow, put it on his face, and walked towards another tent.
This woman is Shang Meng of the Tang Dynasty Yin Evil Sect.
This is the place outside the gates, where the horse team under the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stationed.
In fact, after the captain of the horse team and several of his henchmen imprisoned the former Zhang family's travelers in the military camp of the Underworld, the so-called camp where the travelers lived was empty for a week. But since he had given the order not to disturb the guests when there was nothing to do, and that the captain himself was responsible for their food and drink, he did not arouse the suspicion of a dozen or so of his men during the week. It wasn't until three days ago that a dozen or so nobles of the Underworld who had bought off the captain of the horse team officially moved into the tourist camp.
The camp of the travelers was not far from the camp of the horse team, and at this moment, the nobles of the Underworld who lived in the tents, each of them were disguised as members of the Zhang family with the help of the monks around them. It was late at night, and there was no movement in both camps. For the members of the horse team, they can finally go home, and for the people here, after successfully blending into the Qinshan Kingdom tomorrow, there are still a lot of things to deal with, so it is natural to have a good rest.
Shang Meng walked to the front of the tent, only then did he seriously tie the clothes on his upper body, took off his mask, and gently opened the front door of the tent, and a crisp voice sounded, "Master?"
The landscape inside this tent is unlike any other. The floor was covered with a wide blanket and there were two beds. On the other side were two stoves, which were blazing at the moment. There's even a pot of orchids at the head of the bed. Shang Meng stepped into the tent gently, and her master, Hua Rongyu, the Elder of the Yin Demon Sect, was sitting on the blanket, facing the two iron furnaces. Her waist-length hair was wet and seemed to have just been washed.
"Are you back?" A feminine and charming female voice came, and Shang Meng responded softly. "Has he made progress?" Hua Rongyu faced the two burning iron furnaces, and he didn't know what medicine was being refined inside. She asked without looking back, but in a very playful tone.
"Hmm...," Shang Meng replied as if he was a little shy, "Master, is this pot also the flavor you concocted?"
"This pot is a high-level version of sprouting. He ate the sprout powder that he had personally refined, and he would have a very good reaction in a short period of time for the posture you are commonly used to. It's just that the side effects may be obvious next. So we need this medicine to give him a sooth, after all, we still need him... The elixir that I personally refined for my teacher didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Shang Meng burst out laughing and said with some embarrassment, "The barbarian's body is indeed remarkable... Moreover, Wuha Gongzi, his own yang fire is extremely vigorous, and the apprentice almost disgraced his master. ”
"You can still cure him, you're already doing well. However, Master reminds you that he is just an ordinary mortal. First of all, we really need their assistance to find clues in Qinshan's country, and secondly, the monk who still doesn't know his identity has too much influence on you. Therefore, it is only during this period of time that you can have a relationship with him. But remember, we all have different missions, and there are some things that we should break off when it's time to break them. ”
Hua Rongyu turned his head and said softly to Shang Meng, who was sitting beside him. She picked up a hookah from the iron stove, which was her new hobby, and put it at the bottom of the stove for a while, then put it in her mouth, and spit out a cloud of smoke rings. Seeing that Shang Meng was a little distracted after listening to what he had just said. She also understands that she and that Wuharian prince are really fighting fiercely these days, and she may not be able to make a decision on the spot, although this vote of the nobles of the Netherworld is just a tool in her eyes.
"Meng'er, the pleasures of the flesh can be obtained everywhere, but if you want to get true love, how can it be as effortless as this?"
"The teacher knows your mind. What young girl doesn't have a relationship that cuts endlessly?" Shang Meng's face turned red when she heard this, interrupted Master's words, and said, "Master has misunderstood, the disciple definitely didn't have that kind of thought. It's all just a joke. Be... It's us who play with them and take advantage of them. I get it. ”
Hua Rongyu put down the cigarette pouch and gently opened a stove. The Dan juice inside was still burning, but as soon as the furnace was opened, a strange fragrance wafted out, and if you don't have concentration, you will definitely fall into confusion immediately. Hua Rongyu closed the lid of the stove, smiled and glanced at the well-behaved apprentice sitting beside her, hugged her closer, and said, "Let me tell you something." ”
"Master, please speak. ”
"The theme of this story is to take advantage of all the people who can be used for you, and also to find all the people who are possible for you to love. To truly experience the finger-twisting and soft intestines that cannot be cut off is tempered by time. ”
In the precipitation of the years, Hua Rongyu's heart, which seems to have turned into the most poisonous woman in the world, is beating a little rapidly at this moment. In her mind, she remembered the first man who made her so infatuated, standing on top of the plum peak in winter, holding her warm hands, always with a clear and clear fragrance of tea. But the years have proved everything, and he is just a pawn that can be used by the other party. Even a woman like her smashed her head this southern wall. But, fortunately, she is not the kind of character who has to break through the south wall, so she met Elder Li Wuxin Li and found someone who can be loved by herself. And so, all the pain dissipated.
She spoke slowly, and at the same time looked at the girl beside her who listened attentively with a kind of motherly love, how well-behaved and lovely she was. She hopes that Shang Meng can really listen to her story and not be hurt by love. Although, this is largely limited by age.
“...... Go and meditate, and if you're tired, it's good to sleep all night. I'll be in the country tomorrow..."
At the same time, he was in the grain depot in the west of Heishui City, which was the place that Qiao Xuebin would govern after becoming an official, not far from the border pass. He Yue and Zheng Ergou, under the leadership of Qiao Xuebin, entered the bedroom arranged for him on the edge of the grain depot.
Qiao Xuebin won himself the official position of deputy captain of the Xicheng Grain Depot in the preparation for the official examination. This is really an idle position, and there are only two or three subordinates transferred by him. This grain depot is often used for disaster relief during drought and famine, and every city in the north has two such grain depots. But Blackwater's climate is pleasant all year round, and such natural disasters rarely occur. So what he had to do was nothing more than to ensure that the grain paid into the granary every month was intact.
This position is idle and cannot be idle any longer. Several subordinates take turns to change shifts every day, plus the old captain's subordinates guard the grain depot, Qiao Xuebin is basically the kind of person who suffers in vain. Some time ago, there was only one major event - because the musk war on the front line was in full swing, the city lord's mansion ordered that one-fifth of the grain storage in Xicheng be transferred to the state-level granary stationed in Langya City, the middle border in the south of Xingyang City, in case of emergency. He was very busy with the old team in those two days. Only later, there was nothing else. This time, I brought He Yue here, just to find an excuse to go out in front of the head of the family, Qiao Liangyan, and to prepare for tomorrow's things.
After Zheng Ergou came back, he told He Yue about Sima Yin. But it omits questions about his background and who to guide him. Without these things, He Yue didn't show much interest, but repeatedly confirmed to him whether the other party could be trusted, whether there was a problem with the plan to leak and so on. Zheng Ergou didn't say anything more.
After closing the door, the three stayed in the granary bedroom of the temporary boarding. After a while, I could vaguely hear Zheng Ergou's small voice-
"I'll do a little bit of a simple disguise... That's it, right.... Tomorrow night this time ......"
The next day, late at night, Xicheng Tower, border crossing.
