Chapter 36 Merry Characters
The escort couldn't make a big deal out of it, so as not to affect their master, so they were stopped by Xinye's guards and brought back for interrogation.
Lingxi took the opportunity to put on the mask hidden on his body, covering his face.
Since Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Wuhuan, he has set his sights on the wealthy nine counties of Jingxiang, and Xinye has borne the brunt of it and has become the vanguard of resisting Cao's iron cavalry.
Recently, Shinno's garrison has been much tighter.
Although these Cao Pi's subordinates explained in every possible way that they were just passing merchants, they said that the Lingxi in the car was his young lady, and the young lady was playful, so there was a misunderstanding.
But the guards questioned Lingxi, but Lingxi didn't say a word, obviously trying to oppose those people.
For a while, the city gate order didn't know how to decide. During the extraordinary period, he did not dare to relax in the slightest, and directly reported to the general who defended the city.
Lingxi silently prayed in her heart, as long as it wasn't someone she knew, so that there was still a chance to escape.
Except for Liu Bei and his two brothers, everyone else is fine here.
Besides, she is wearing a mask, so she shouldn't be so easy to see!
After a while, a general came, he was tall and heroic, he was not an idle person at first glance, and more importantly, he was not a person known to Lingxi.
The man had already understood the situation, so he walked directly to Lingxi, looked up and down, and asked, "Who are you, this girl?" ”
His words were quite polite, not at all like he was interrogating a suspicious person.
Lingxi thought about it, his face sank, and he suddenly cried: "General, you want to make the decision for me, and I really have no choice, so I made this decision." Actually, they are not spies, yes, they are human traffickers, and I was arrested, and only by saying this can I get your attention. ”
After hearing this, the general looked at the guards behind him and the few people who came with Lingxi suspiciously, and asked sharply, "Is this really the case?" ”
Those people had unspeakable suffering, so they had to carry the pot down, and they were afraid that they hated the Lingxi who suddenly wore a mask to death, and it was not easy to attack, so they had to kneel down: "My lord, we don't dare anymore!" Please forgive me! ”
"Forgiveness? Who knows how many times you've done this, if it weren't for this girl's cleverness, I don't know how many people would have been harmed! The general said angrily: "Pull me down, each with thirty military sticks, and then talk about it after the inquiry is clear!" ”
"General, general, I heard them mention it on the road, this is indeed their first time, since I am fine, I hope that the general will be lightly dismissed and driven them out." Lingxi couldn't bear it, but still pleaded.
Solving a major problem in her heart, Lingxi was naturally a lot easier, she thought, as long as she found a way to return to Xuchang, she could make it clear to Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, the general was thoughtful and did not release her, but detained her.
It turns out that he is still doubtful about his own rhetoric, Lingxi wants to cry without tears, why are the characters he encounters so difficult to deal with!
"You take the girl and settle down in the city, and rest well, while I find out what happened." The general ordered his men.
"Yes, General Zhao!" The young general answered, and came to Lingxi's side and motioned for Lingxi to leave with him.
"General Zhao?" Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't that general General Zhao Yun?" ”
"Yes, there are still a few generals Zhao in the city." The young general felt pitiful and couldn't help but be tolerant when he spoke.
She looks like an ordinary girl, and she doesn't look good, and these days, the traffickers are hungry enough......
Lingxi was placed in a guest room to rest, while the guards who escorted her were beaten and put in prison waiting to be released.
In the evening, Zhao Yun reported the matter and told Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang about it.
His analysis is reasonable: "This is an extraordinary period, Cao Cao may send troops to Jingzhou at any time, and at this critical juncture, such a suspicious person appears, and his subordinates really dare not make up their own minds." And the girl, although she seems ordinary, is not panicked at all under the guard's questioning, and is calm. ”
"Zilong is right, this matter is indeed strange. What's more, how did an ordinary woman know that Cao Jun was coming? Zhuge Liang appreciated Zhao Yun's approach, and also wondered: "Why don't I go and see that girl tomorrow." ”
On the second day, Zhuge Liang came to Lingxi's side, he was worthy of being a smart person, and he paid attention to Lingxi's delicate neck and hands during the inquiry.
It's not that he's lustful, it's just that these two places really don't match Lingxi's face. Her face was dull, like a simple peasant woman, but her hands were not like them at all, and although the clothes on her body were simple, they were not coarse.
It was the plain clothes that Lingxi changed into in order to pay tribute to Guo Jia, and he didn't put Mrs. Cao Fuhuan's clothes on his body, but he still let Zhuge Liang see it clearly.
"My lord, when can I let the little girl go, the little woman is really a victim." Lingxi didn't know who the personable person in front of her was, and she didn't know that her information had already leaked a lot in front of others.
"Don't worry, girl, we will definitely give the girl a clean slate, it seems that the girl is not from Jingzhou, this road is hard, and she needs to rest more." Zhuge Liang quietly observed the spirit rhino.
He also said: "The girl should have been frightened a lot, why is her face so ugly, I am Zhuge Kongming, the military advisor here, and I know a little about medical skills, why don't you ask me to give the girl a pulse?" ”
"Ahh No, no, I'm fine, as long as you let me go sooner, I'm really a victim. Lingxi heard the words "Zhuge Kongming", and the secret way was not good.
He is Zhuge Liang, he is resourceful, and he can fight wits and courage with Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, how could it fall into his hands.
Lingxi was worried, afraid that he would see something, and hurriedly hid his hand.
But this subtle action still made Zhuge Liang see it.
"In that case, then don't bother the girl, hurry up and check those people."
With that, Zhuge Liang pretended to leave, turned around and stood up.
Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little, but unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang turned around and tore off Lingxi's mask while Lingxi was too late to take precautions!
……
Another day passed, and the man Lingxi was worried about still came.
At first, Liu Bei was worried that this matter was related to Cao Cao, so he handed it over to Zhuge Liang to investigate, but he didn't pay much attention to it himself, but Zhuge Liang only went for half a day, but brought back a shocking discovery.
He sighed with a mask in his hand, and Liu Bei had never seen Zhuge Liang like this.
"I'm afraid that this matter is really not simple, that girl is not an ordinary person at first glance, she actually used this disguise technique, the lord can know that she has the appearance of captivating the country and the city."
"It can't really be a spy sent by Cao Cao, to Shi Meiren?" Zhang Fei said on the side: "Brother, don't forget, when you were in Xuzhou, you fell for Lingxi's beauty trick, these beautiful women are not fuel-efficient lamps, let's kill them." ”
Cao Cao's spy, a beauty plan?
Liu Bei had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but come and see what the sacredness was.
When he walked through the door, Lingxi knew that there was nowhere to hide, and his face was gone.
I didn't expect to run into him in the end.
Liu Bei saw that it was a spirit rhino in front of him, and his eyes overflowed with surprise: "Spirit rhino!" ”
He didn't blame Lingxi for giving him a beauty trick at all, only Lingxi alone in this world can make him, a person who has always been decent, want to fall and say, peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!
"Spirit? Who are you, do you know my mother? Lingxi had an idea, and he didn't even expect it when he spoke.
"Mother?" Liu Bei was stunned: "You said you are the daughter of Lingxi, the daughter of Cao Cao?" ”
"Yes, now I know that I can't hide it, so I have to tell the truth." Lingxi said: "I can't hide it, it was my father's enemy who arrested me in order to take revenge on him." ”
Liu Bei slowed down, slightly disappointed: "That's right...... Also right...... It's been more than ten years, how can she still be so young. ”
"How old are you?"
"Ten, fifteen." Lingxi thought about it, she had been with Cao Cao for about sixteen years.
Fifteen years old...... Liu Bei was in a state of frustration, and suddenly remembered that when he was a hero of cooking wine, Cao Cao told him that Lingxi was about to give birth.
That's a few years apart, and Lingxi's oldest child is only eleven or twelve years old, right?
Isn't this one in front of you, there will never be such a similar person!
Liu Bei's heart fluctuated, and he couldn't believe what he thought, so he had to stabilize himself.
She doesn't want to tell the truth, so take her time.
But how could she still be like when she first met, could it be that she was really a celestial person?
