Chapter 119: Substitution
The setting sun is blood-red, hanging in the western sky. A dull red light penetrated through the window lattice, and countless motes of dust could be seen floating between the dark tables and chairs. Tang Lu'er put the pair of thin steel handguards that Shangguan Yu gave her on her wrists, her fingers gently stroked the layer of leather engraved with patterns attached to the outside of the wrists, and her fingertips slid over the dark card, and then put down her sleeves.
"You don't need to go there in person, I'll arrange for someone to disguise themselves as you." The door was suddenly pushed open, the room lit up, and Shangguan Yu, who had just left in a hurry, strode in at this time, frowning at Tang Lu'er, who had already changed into a strong outfit.
"The people of White Moon City are not stupid, but they don't have to guard against your hand, if there is a case, your uncle will not be as simple as missing a little finger." Mo Lao walked in after him, and then Shangguan Yu's words said. Shangguan Yu glanced at him, but Mo Lao had already moved his gaze to Tang Lu'er, only to see him look up and down, and then he stepped forward and praised: "Well, this looks a bit like your mother's appearance back then."
"Please Mr. Mo retreat for a moment." Shangguan Yu looked at Mo Lao coldly, this old guy had been instigating Tang Lu'er to go to the appointment to change people since just now.
After watching Mo Lao go out, Tang Lu'er raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Yu: "I'm just going back to Baiyue City with them, and besides, Bai Su hasn't gotten the token of Baiyue City from me yet, so they won't do anything to me along the way."
"Maybe he didn't want a token at all." Shangguan Yu shook his head. "Mo Lao said a few days ago that now Bai Su's power in White Moon City has faintly overshadowed the city lord, in this case, whether or not you have a token will not affect him much, not to mention that you don't remember the past at all now. Lu'er, from Liuzhou to Beimo, this journey will take at least more than two months, and they have countless opportunities to test you. And for a person who wants to seize power, it is always easier to solve it directly than to keep an unstable factor. β
Tang Lu'er was silent for a while before she said, "Grandma is now in poisonous hair, her little finger is blue, and her nails are black, did you just see it?" Don't skip words.
Shangguan Yu was speechless for a while, Tang Lu'er gritted her teeth, forced the tears in her eyes back, and then spoke: "I don't have the slightest memory of Bai Wei, the person that the third brother and Mo Lao said is like a person in the sky to me. But even if I knew, I never thought I was Bai Wei, but there were so many responsibilities that belonged to her, and I didn't want to escape. Because it was Bai Wei, I had a grandmother, and when I woke up that day, my mind was blank, and I didn't know how I was there. I don't know what happened to me, this world is so strange...... For you, grandma is just an uncle you have met a few times, but for me, grandma has the grace of regeneration and nurturing for me. β
Tang Lu'er said, slowly lowered her eyes, and then turned her head to look at the red light that filled the window.
It's not that she's not afraid, in fact, she's more greedy for life and afraid of death than anyone else, but after so many things, I know that people's ability to bear is always much stronger than she imagined. Perhaps, according to what Shangguan Yu said, it is more appropriate to find someone to disguise herself as her and replace Mrs. Tang back. But she couldn't afford to gamble, and if her grandmother had any more accidents because of her cowardice, she would not be able to face her conscience in her life.
Shangguan Yu was stunned, for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's re-plan the next thing." He thought that if she insisted on going, he would have to lock her up for the night. But after hearing what she just said, he suddenly remembered his teacher, and it was because he hesitated for a moment that he regretted it in his life.
At night, the wind rose, and on the thick black sea five nautical miles away from Liuzhou Port, Shangguan Yu took Tang Lu'er out of the cabin and stood on the deck looking at the ships slowly moving in the distance. The wind raised the long hair of the two, and looked at the boat on the opposite side getting closer and closer, Shangguan Yu turned his head to Tang Lu'er and said: "The duel between life and death is often very simple, there will not be too much fancy and elegance, and many times, intuitive judgment and responsiveness are more important than what kind of moves will be."
Tang Lu'er nodded as if she didn't understand, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the ship in front of her that was getting closer and closer, completely unaware that her hand on the railing was white from too much force.
"The people have already gone down, and when you go up, they will be able to dive to the side of the boat, but if you can't find a chance tonight, forget it, don't worry, I'll follow all the way." As she spoke, Shangguan Yu glanced at the belt she had tied to her body, which was a special belt that could glow faintly in the dark for several hours after being wet.
Tang Lu'er nodded, then bit her lip and said, "You have already informed the third brother?" β
"Well, he'll be over in a little while, don't worry, I'm not going to let you go." Shangguan Yu said in a low voice.
Meng San's mother is from Xiliang, and he went back to his parents' house to visit relatives. unfortunately died of illness, and later I don't know what the reason was, so she was buried directly in Xiliang, and Qizhou was just her clothes. Yesterday happened to be his death day, so he went to Xiliang to worship his mother before leaving, and now he should have returned, but it will take an hour or two to get here from Jinyuan.
Mo Lao walked up to them, looked at the ship that was stopped less than half a mile in front of them, and said, "This seems to be your Fumen warship, right?" A lot of words, where did they come from? β
Shangguan Yu was silent, the Fumen battleship was a warship equipped by the Liuzhou Naval Division, and it was the fastest and strongest warship among all ships, not to mention the common people, even the princes and nobles were not qualified to have it.
White Moon City, the hand is stretched too long.
After putting down a small boat over there, and slowly walking to Tang Lu'er's side, he shouted, and Shangguan Yu immediately signaled to put the ladder down.
After a while, a young man with a delicate face stood on the deck and bowed to Tang Lu'er, and then presented the bottle hanging on his waist with both hands: "Wei girl, this is the wine and gum on Tang's predecessor, in order to show his sincerity, I will send this thing first."
Tang Lu'er took the bottle with a slight trembling hand. Then he stared at the man and said word by word: "You guys, cut my grandmother's hand"
"Miss Wei, don't worry, Senior Tang's finger was actually cut off by the senior himself." The man raised his face, looked at Tang Lu'er and said, "When I met Senior Tang, it happened that Senior Tang had poisonous hair on his body, and this time the poison was ferocious, and the senior could only force those irrepressible poisons to Little Finger, and then cut off his finger with a knife." If the girl doesn't believe it. You can ask the Great Elder to verify that this poison comes from White Moon City, and the Great Elder will not be unclear. If you can't suppress the poison, you can only cut off the body little by little, otherwise the poison will attack the heart and you will die immediately. β
After the man finished speaking, he turned slightly sideways and bowed to Mo Lao, who was standing aside.
Mo Lao touched the back of his head and said to Tang Lu'er: "Hehe, after this reminder, I remembered that this is indeed the case."
Shangguan Yu looked at Mo Lao, his eyes narrowed slightly, Tang Lu'er only glanced at Mo Lao, then looked at the man again and asked, "How is my grandmother now?"
"It's very weak, so please Miss Wei will come with me, as soon as the girl gets on the boat, I will send Senior Tang back immediately."
"Senior Tang hasn't come back yet, so let me send people to your ship, Your Excellency's calculation is too naΓ―ve." Shangguan Yu glanced at the man, then turned his gaze to the battleship opposite. He saw that there was also a man standing on the bow of the boat, who looked like a woman, and at the same time he looked over, the woman turned around and gestured, and in a short time, two people came out of the cabin carrying a chair, and one person in front of him led a lantern in front.
"Grandma" Tang Lu'er's face changed, even if it was far away, her vision was blurred and she could only see a vague shadow, but it was indeed Mrs. Tang.
The man said at the right time: "Senior Tang's poison is fierce this time, Miss Wei should come with me as soon as possible, after Senior Tang comes, there is the Great Elder's Golden Needle Technique, even if there is no antidote, the poison can still be suppressed for a period of time."
Shangguan Yu opened his mouth and said, "You have people put Senior Tang on a small boat, so that you can bring people over."
The man bowed to Shangguan Yu and said: "I'm afraid it can't be as the prince wants, the water nature of the people in the Northern Desert is really not as good as the sailors here in Liuzhou, and it is not as good as the prince's personal guard." Just in case, we can only send Senior Tang back after the Wei girl gets on the boat. When he said this, he said to Tang Lu'er again, "Miss Wei, if you delay for a quarter of an hour, it will be a quarter of an hour more unfavorable to Tang's seniors." β
"I'll let you go." Tang Lu'er took a step forward as she spoke, and Shangguan Yu grabbed her wrist. Tang Lu'er turned his head to look at him, the two looked at each other, Tang Lu'er took his hand, pulled the back of his hand to her belt and rubbed it gently, and then went off the boat with the man.
"You already knew that the finger was cut off by my uncle, why didn't you say it?" Shangguan Yu stood on the deck, looking at the rough sea with an indifferent expression, his eyes closely following the small boat carrying Tang Lu'er.
"Tigers are kept in captivities and end up as cats." Mo Lao also looked ahead, but when he said this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the young prince next to him, and suddenly felt that in fact, this one was the real tiger.
Shangguan Yu suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like knives, Mo Lao immediately smiled, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing when young people are so angry, do you know how to talk about this matter, I didn't say it before, what's the difference, will the girl not agree?" Don't skip words.
"If something happens to her, no one can escape" Shangguan Yu retracted his gaze and said coldly.
Tang Lu'er got on the Fumen battleship, and before she could stand firmly, she didn't care how many people were standing nearby, so she rushed towards Mrs. Tang.
"Grandma......" She looked at the old lady sitting on the circle chair, obviously extremely weak, and her eyes were blurred with tears in an instant.
Mrs. Tang's expression was very calm, and she just beckoned to her to come closer.
Tang Lu'er knelt down and held Mrs. Tang's hand wrapped in gauze, Mrs. Tang patted her head with the other hand, and then wrapped the young little hand with her two old hands, shook her head and said, "Stupid girl"
No one noticed that when Mrs. Tang wrapped Tang Lu'er's hand, she left a few words in her palm.
