Chapter 707: No need to disguise
Seeing that Chen Ying was silent for a long time, the curiosity on Concubine Wu's face gradually dissipated, and she chuckled: "That's it, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, don't say it." ”
Hearing this sweet and hoarse voice, lined with the slight moonlit night breeze, I heard it in my ears, but it was not beautiful, but it added a little weirdness.
Chen Ying was awakened by this voice, and her fingers subconsciously loosened.
"Brush", the flexible wicker bounced back to its original place, the thin leaves on the branches fell one after another, and the moonlight looked down, as if it was snow.
After contemplating slightly, she turned her eyes to look at Concubine Wu, and after a long time, Fang replied to the question: "Concubine Niangniang has not changed her appearance, why?" Isn't the mother afraid of being recognized? ”
Concubine Wu "passed away", Emperor Yuanjia was a state funeral, and the whole of Chu knew that there was a "dead" Concubine Wu in the imperial city.
But tonight she "came back from the dead" and swaggered through the market, which was already extremely bold, and what was even more shocking was that she didn't even have the necessary disguise, so she showed her true face like this, and she had to leave the city easily.
Is she afraid that someone will reveal her true body?
When Concubine Wu heard this, she smiled, raised her sleeves elegantly, fluttered the dust that did not exist on the hem of her skirt, and said lightly: "You kid, you say you are smart, why did you ask a stupid question?" ”
She stopped, staring at the folds on her plain skirt, her expression gradually becoming melancholy, and there was a little unclear emotion surging in her eyes.
"I've been in the palace for decades, and those relatives and friends have died a long time ago." She smiled self-deprecatingly, stepped forward, and whispered:
"So far, the only people who have really seen my face are the dozens of people in the Forbidden Palace. Don't say that the capital is in the outer imperial city, and there is no one who can know me, so why should I be disguised? She slowly raised her head, looked at the bend of her eyebrows, and her smile faded.
Then, she suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Ying, her eyes flashed slightly: "It's you, this kid, just called me Concubine Niangniang in front of so many people, without the slightest scruples, what's the reason?" Are you trying to get someone to take me back? ”
It's a joke, but the speaker has a heart, and the listener is not unintentional.
"Niangniang got out of the car in person, took the initiative to talk, and did not hesitate to show her true face, she should not be afraid of being called broken at all." Chen Ying said with a smile, and then pointed to the circle of ironclad cavalry outside the forest, with a pleasant expression: "Besides, they are quite far away, so far away that I am a little surprised." ”
When the men and horses were just transferred, for some reason, He Tingzheng arranged all the men thirty paces away, quite far away from the convoy.
Such a distance, coupled with the fact that Chen Ying and Concubine Wu spoke very softly, they were not afraid of being heard by outsiders.
Otherwise, Chen Ying would not have opened his mouth to reveal the identities of Guo Yuan and Concubine Wu.
In addition to this, the standing posture of all the soldiers is also very peculiar.
They all stood with their backs to the convoy and facing the four fields, and since Chen Ying dismounted, none of them looked back.
Pei Jiajun has always had strict military discipline, and if you think about it, this is also an order from He Tingzheng.
"They don't even look back, and they're so far away, what else is there to worry about, don't you say?" Chen Ying looked at Concubine Wu with a smile, and her expression became more and more relaxed.
Concubine Wu stared at her for a moment, and a smile bloomed on the corner of her lips: "You are really smart." ”
"I thank you for complimenting." Chen Ying bowed, reached out to pick up a fallen leaf on the ground, and played with it carefully, with a vague smile on his face: "That's it, I'll first talk about how I calculated how to stop people tonight, so as not to worry about the concubine all the time." ”
"That's good." Concubine Wu's face was full of interest, and when she looked at Chen Ying's gaze, she was full of curiosity.
At this time, she was like an innocent girl, the hazy moonlight sprinkled down, covering the fine lines on her face, her skin was as white as jade, her facial features were gorgeous and enchanting, and there was a special charm.
Chen Ying glanced at her and said, "Actually, this method is very simple to say, I just keep asking people to stare at the Eldest Princess's Mansion." ”
"The Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Concubine Wu was taken aback, and then turned into doubts: "Why is this?" My people never go there. ”
As the words came out, a thought flashed through her mind, her eyes lit up, and she said with an "oh" voice: "It turns out that you are staring at the county lord of Xiangshan County?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Ying affirmed her inference: "Soon after the death of Gu Qian, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, I found out about the concubine Niangniang, and also concluded that Niangniang was the leader of the Wind and Bone Society. Unexpectedly, Niangniang suddenly 'died of illness', and the strange thing is that the leaders are dead, and the backbones of the Wind and Bone Society, or rather, my father and Xingwei, are not a little sad, but they still move frequently, from this, I thought of a possibility. ”
Her voice paused slightly, and her watery eyes stared at Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu smiled lightly and said nothing.
At this time today, all false words and pretenses are unnecessary, and since she has appeared, all the secrets of the Wind and Bone Society will not be a secret.
Under this premise, it is not surprising that Chen Ying pointed out the identities of Chen Shao and Xingwei.
In fact, since Chen Ying appeared in front of her, she had already expected that the true identities of Chen Shao and Xingwei would probably have been exposed.
It's just that although she thinks this in her heart, if she wants to say that she is not surprised, she is not.
Chen Shao has been missing for eight years, the target is too big, and his exposure is almost inevitable, so since he returned to Beijing, Concubine Wu has almost never contacted her, and everything has been handed over to Xing Wei.
However, after listening to what Chen Ying said at this time, Concubine Wu realized that Xingwei had already been discovered.
"After the concubine Niangniang 'passed away', combined with the news I found before, as well as many things that have happened recently, I deduced that when the concubine leaves, she should bring the county lord of Xiangshan with her." Chen Ying's voice was loud again, as calm as ever.
Concubine Wu looked at her for a while, then asked with a smile, "How can you see it?" ”
"Because the Queen Mother was defeated too simply." Chen Ying said, raising her eyes and looking into the distance.
The night became thicker, and although there was moonlight, there was only darkness as far as the eye could see.
She sighed silently and continued: "The eldest princess suddenly fell, and with the Empress Dowager's love for her only daughter, it is impossible to be slaughtered without resistance. But on the contrary, she didn't even fight back decently, and was willing to forbid herself in the Changxi Palace. It's very different from hers. ”
"So what?" Concubine Wu raised her eyebrows lightly and asked.
Chen Ying said: "So I guess whether there is a transaction here...... Well...... Trading, and the owner of Xiangshan County is the heaviest chip in this transaction. The Queen Mother is willing to surrender, on the condition that the Lord of Xiangshan County live, and live safely and without being coerced by anyone, so the Concubine Niangniang has become an important part of reaching this deal. ”
