"Uncle, may I ask if there are often caravans or dart games passing by in your village." Chen Jiaojiao stopped an old man carrying a burden and asked.

The old man did not put down his burden, but said, "Yes, there is, but not much." ”

With that, he picked up his things and left.

Chen Jiaojiao stood in place and thought for a while.

Along the way, among the few people he encountered, only the people of the Wufeng faction had good intentions towards him.

At that time, I also wanted to lean on the big tree of Wujiabao, so can I lean on it now?

No, no.

Wufeng has a pure heart for himself, and he is involved in many secrets, so he can't implicate Wujiabao.

Chen Jiaojiao paused.

It doesn't work, it doesn't work either.

So what to do?

She looked at the children fighting at the entrance of the village, and her heart moved.

Why don't they go to Yucheng Road to inquire first, maybe they can find something?

――――――――

The first day of March.

The crowd going to Yucheng is dense.

Because the first and fifteenth days of each month are market days.

Farmers in the villages around Yucheng rush to the city early in the morning.

A half-grown child led his younger brother through the crowd.

He would touch the heavy copper on his chest after taking a few steps.

The voice of a little brother echoed in his ears, if today's errand into the city is done, he will be rewarded with silver money when he comes back.

With all this money, this year will be very good.

When the villagers arrived at the gate of the city, they scattered, each with their own business to do.

The half-grown child also took his younger brother's hand and went to the most prosperous street in Yucheng.

The most important thing for him today is to get the things that his little brother has explained properly.

…………

The villagers of Chengjia Village set off for Yucheng early in the morning, but they didn't return to the village until it was almost dark.

Chen Jiaojiao waited for it.

During this time, she paid some money to live in the village chief's house, and finally waited for the day of the first day of the new year to catch the market, she picked the most clever boy in the village to find out the news, there should be no problem.

Chengjia Village is not large, with more than a dozen families scattered in pieces.

After the villagers returned home from the city for dinner, Chen Jiaojiao was already waiting for almost sleep.

Why hasn't this kid come yet?

She simply walked out, and the stars were bright and moonlit in the late spring night, and some villagers stopped to chat.

Chen Jiaojiao looked at the east with her feet, she should be coming!

-- Others are the most anxious.

-- Especially when the people who are waiting for the news to bring back are not sure whether it is auspicious or evil, it makes people even more anxious.

Just when Chen Jiaojiao lost patience and was about to go directly to the child, he finally came over.

"Little brother, I have done what you asked me to do, I went to the teahouse to listen to the exchanges of the Jianghu guests who traveled from south to north, and also went to squat at the beggars who have been begging on the side of the road."

"The Jianghu guests in the teahouse are discussing the affairs of the Heavenly Sword Gate's treasure house."

"But the beggars in Yucheng have been looking for someone." The kid said.

Chen Jiaojiao: "Do you know who they are looking for?" ”

"It seems to be a girl, named Chen Jiaojiao."

"They still have portraits in their hands, and they are always at the gates of the city to watch everyone who enters the city."

Chen Jiaojiao's palms were sweaty.

It seems that the news of his coming to Yucheng has been known by others.

She thought about it with her eyes closed.

Along the way, she never revealed to others that she was coming to Yucheng, so who knew about it.

Wait a minute.

Seal.

She only told Wufeng that she was going to Yucheng.

Could it be that it was Wufeng who instructed the beggars to find people?

Chen Jiaojiao was uneasy.

She didn't know what these people were looking for her, and she wasn't Tang Seng.

You can't live forever if you eat it!

"Little brother, I've done everything you want me to do, what did you promise me?"

The half-sized voice interrupted Chen Jiaojiao's train of thought.

She hurriedly took a small piece of silver from her inner sleeve and handed it to him.

"Take it, thank you."

The boy took the money and rejoiced.

"If the little brother still has an errand, you can call me, you can rest assured that I will do something."

He said the old words with a childish face, and his posture couldn't help but make Chen Jiaojiao embarrassed.

She reached out and touched the kid's head: "Okay, I don't worry about you doing something, and I'll look for you next time I have something." ”

The boy was a little embarrassed, he nodded lightly and ran away.

Chen Jiaojiao also turned around and went back to the room.

Yucheng must enter.

Master must have left something in Yucheng, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately mentioned this place many times.

But the beggars were guarding the gates, and how could they get in?

Chen Jiaojiao doesn't think that she can get away with just dressing up as a man, because her face is too conspicuous.

Speaking of this face, Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Why has my appearance changed since I came down the mountain?

Especially these days, I get up every day and I'm scared.

She could only spend more and more time covering her face with contouring.

But it seems to have had little effect.

Because the disfigurement can only be maintained for a maximum of three days at a time, after three days, the disfigurement applied to the face will fall off.

She never figured out why?

It seems that there is some secret hidden in his body now.

Wei Feng should have observed that he had mentioned this matter when he was in Song Cheng, but he didn't care about it at the time.

Chen Jiaojiao closed her eyes and thought for a while.

They have portraits, and the focus must be on young boys and girls, so if they are disguised as an old man, can they escape their tracking?

Also, the contouring technique left to her by Grandma Baili must be studied more, and it is best to make a mask to come out, so that there is no need to apply disfigurement every day.

――――――

The second day of March.

Early morning.

Smoke curled in the air, and a small figure quietly left the village.

His clothes were ragged, his hair was gray, his face was pockmarked, and a ball of meat was arched on his back, so that he couldn't straighten his waist.

Chen Jiaojiao was very satisfied with her appearance this time.

She was so unrecognizable that she didn't believe anyone could recognize her.

Approaching noon, Yucheng was very lively, and the city gate was crowded.

Chen Jiaojiao followed behind a burly man.

There was no one around to get close to her, one might be because she was too ugly, and the other might be because she was trembling when she walked, and she was afraid that she would fall to the ground.

Chen Jiaojiao didn't squint, coughing a few times from time to time, but her ears listened carefully to everything around her.

"Lao Li, where did you say that the person the elder asked us to find this time?"

"How do I know, since the elder said that the female doll will enter Yucheng, we will guard the only gate of the city and identify them one by one."

The conversations between the two fell into Chen Jiaojiao's ears one by one.

"But there are so many people entering the city on this day, it is not easy to find someone, and the most important thing is who knows if she will be disguised?"

"If she had already gotten in, where would she find it?"
