Chapter 165: Disguise (3)
The little beggar raised his head and looked at this young man who was much taller than himself, and the little beggar saw He Xi's clear expression, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look down on the little beggar at all.
He has seen countless white eyes along the way, but there are almost no people in front of him like this. He looked at He Xi with some curiosity and said: "I am indeed from Shuzhong, but I have been away from Shuzhong for a long time, I heard that there is an epidemic in Shuzhong now, and I don't listen to Gongzi's accent and I am not a local, is Gongzi going to Shuzhong to do anything?" β
He Xi was surprised that this child was so smart, so he casually said with a reason: "I just have a relative in Shuzhong, and when the epidemic broke out in Shuzhong, I lost contact, and I was worried in my heart, so I wanted to come and have a look." β
When the little beggar heard He Xi say this, his eyes didn't feel dim, as if he remembered something.
After a while, he finally raised his head and said: "Impossible, Gongzi doesn't know the current situation, the guards are tight, and it is impossible to cross these guards and enter Shuzhong." β
He Xi heard that there was a faint feeling of gritting his teeth, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Oh? Could it be that you have tried? β
When the little beggar heard He Xi say this, he was a little wary, you know, if you want to enter Shu now, it will be a big rebellion, and if the people in the government know about it, you will be pressed down and imprisoned.
When He Xi saw his expression, she felt that she had guessed correctly, she smiled more and more gently, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, since we also want to enter Shuzhong, we naturally won't tell you about it, and even if you steal our buns just now, it will be enough to send you to the government." β
As soon as the little beggar heard this, his heart became more and more empty, he hung his head on his chest, and his fingers also dragged the hem of his shirt, and a few strips of cloth hung from the broken hem, which had long lost its original color, and he wrapped it like this, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Okay, I'll tell you, but I have one condition!" β
Wang Lang was a little angry, he raised his face and said angrily: "You-"
He Xi waved his hand slightly, stopped Wang Lang's words, and replied directly: "Okay, I promise you-"
The little beggar became more and more suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "You dare to agree to me without even knowing what I want to ask, you must be deceiving me!" β
He was also a little annoyed, he knew that he should have left early after eating the buns, so why bother to delay time here with this person, you know, he still has something to do today.
"I swear, it's definitely not a lie to youβ" He Xi held up a finger and replied solemnly.
"What if you're lying?" The little beggar was unrelenting, and the days of wandering made it extremely difficult for him to believe in people.
"If you break this oath, you will not die a good death." He Xi opened his mouth and said.
Wang Lang frowned slightly, but he didn't organize it, people worship the gods, and naturally believe that there is retribution in this world, so since He Xi swore an oath, it was counted as a number.
The little beggar was still not at ease, but He Xi had already sworn a poisonous oath, and she couldn't think of anything else that would allow her to prove herself.
"Well, then I'll trust Childe onceβ" The little beggar got up from the ground. patted the dirt on his body and said: "I also have a family in Shuzhong, not only me, as long as it is a refugee in Shuzhong, there are relatives in the city, but everyone can't get around it even if they try their best." β
He Xi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Have you tried?" β
The little beggar nodded, and added, "Actually, there are many people like me, and we hide in all corners of this city, and every night, we will sneak out and find a way to go back when we don't have so many eyeliners." β
This news surprised He Xi and several others, and He Xi relieved his mind and said: "Then in that case, tell me, what do you want me to promise you?" β
The little beggar looked at the clothes of He Xi and Wang Lang, and said: "I can see that Gongzi is not an ordinary person, so he can naturally come up with a way to bypass these people and enter Shuzhong, my conditions are very simple, Gongzi will bring me into Shuzhong." β
He Xi couldn't help but be stunned, when she agreed at that time, she really didn't expect this young man to put forward such a condition.
"Although your relatives are still in Shuzhong, but maybe-" He Xi knew that this time was dangerous, but the young man in front of him was indeed so young, and his years still had a long way to go.
"I don't care, I must go back with my son, my sister - my sister she is still so young, she can't live without her brother, I can't leave her alone-" The young man's eyes turned red like this, and He Xi touched those starry eyes, and his breath stagnated.
The young man thought that He Xi still wanted to regret it, so he simply stopped begging her, got up suddenly, and wanted to leave, but he moved widely, and a small puppet fell down, and it was already mottled and he couldn't see the original depiction on it, but he could only see that it was a human type.
He Xi subconsciously bent down to pick it up, but his fingers were still touching the puppet, but his hand was forcefully withdrawn.
"Fuck off, you don't deserve it!" He Xi raised his eyes, and saw the young man's eyes, what kind of eyes were there, like a hungry wolf, tightly guarding his food, not letting others violate, there was anger, disappointment, and anger in his eyes, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and suddenly pounced towards He Xi, opened his mouth and bit He Xi's wrist, Wang Lang didn't have time to stop it, He Xi only felt a pain in his wrist, and then he felt a burst of warmth, and fell on his wrist, the young man cried, He Xi looked at him with compassion, and it seemed to be looking at him through him. She suddenly said in a loud voice: "I promise you, but you also have to promise me, if things develop - if I live, I will take you away, okay?" β
Wang Lang shook his head, as if he sighed helplessly, feeling the strength of biting his wrist loosen little by little, He Xi seemed to not feel the pain, patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't cry, be strong as a brother, your sister must be waiting for you at home." The young man nodded tearfully, looked down at He Xi's bloody wrist that had been bitten by himself, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I-"
"Well, didn't you say that there are a lot of you? Can you take me to meet them? He Xi asked.
The young man nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Now that the sky is almost dawn, there will be a lot of officers and soldiers in the city who are checking it, because our people have secretly acted once before, but they were discovered." Now these people are very wary of us, and in the daytime, we will be found if we gather together rashly. He whispered.
Suddenly, he added: "However, it's not impossible, I'm going to report to everyone today, we will make an appointment in one place, and Childe will come to meet you in the evening." Good no good? There was a hint of begging in his eyes, and he looked at He Xi with hope.
He Xi nodded and said, "Okay, Wang Lang, bring him some food." β
"Childe-" Although Wang Lang didn't know what He Xi was thinking, but in his opinion, what good ideas could these refugees come up with, they were all driven out of the situation, and they still wanted to get out of the current predicament?
"Huh?" He Xi glanced at Wang Lang lightly, Wang Lang was helpless, so he could only say to the young man, "Okay, you come with me." β
As soon as the young man heard that there was food to take, he happily said to He Xi: "Thank you, son!" β
After thanking him, he happily went down to eat with Wang Lang, and after tossing for a long time, He Xi was also a little tired, and he also got up and went back to the room to sleep.
The next morning, when He Xi woke up, it was already dawn, she got up and washed up briefly, sat in front of the bronze mirror, the disguise on her face was also cleaned by herself, revealing her original appearance, her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, her beautiful eyes were like water, her eyes were looking forward to life, and even a little cinnabar between her eyebrows looked more and more demonic.
But now, even if she shows her true face, no one may be able to recognize her as the palace concubine.
But this kind of face was also a little too eye-catching, she took out a forehead wipe from her burden and put it on her head, and simply tied her long hair behind her head, and then got up and pushed the door out.
But I didn't want to meet Wang Lang by chance, Wang Lang was originally here to ask He Xi to tell him about things, but he happened to see He Xi go out, and the moment he saw He Xi, the sword in Wang Lang's hand seemed to be unstable, and the little master in front of him was yesterday, and it was clearly Jin Gongzi!
He stood in place and couldn't move, his brain was also buzzing, and he couldn't make any reaction, he realized it later, yesterday's little master, the previous Jin Gongzi, and He Xi in the palace, they are all the same person, no wonder they have an inexplicable familiar feeling with He Xi, now that they think about it carefully, their slight pursed lips and frowning movements are exactly the same, and even the tone and voice of their speech are the same.
He was happy and worried in his heart, and the happy thing was that he finally didn't have to wonder if he was moved by a man, and the thing he was worried about was that whether it was Jin Gongzi or the person in front of him, he was a person he couldn't touch.
"Commander of the King? Come here at this time, but what's the news of that kid? He Xi stretched out his hand and shook it slightly in front of Wang Lang's eyes and asked.
When Wang Lang heard the sound, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then remembered the purpose of his coming.
He took a big step back behind him, bowed and said, "Childe Qiyu, yes, it's just that the news is not very good-"
"Oh? What happened? He Xi frowned slightly and asked, she didn't notice Wang Lang's gaffes and abnormalities at all, all she cared about now was whether she could enter Shu safely, they had been delayed for too long.
Tuoba Yue, I'm afraid I can't wait.
