063 The Mirror Is Not Dusty*
Yuan Zhongze came to Mangcheng with a fast horse and dismounted in front of the city gate. It was bustling in front of the city gates. He lowered the brim of his hat and squeezed into the flow of people, passed through the mottled gate made of bluestone, and entered this ancient city of unknown years.
Mangcheng is not like Shengjing, the road is narrow, and horse-drawn carriages cannot pass. Freight can only be carried on the back of pack horses by caravans. The road is high and low, undulating. The houses of the green tiles stretch to the foot of the mountain.
Yuan Zhongze sneered in his heart. In such a place, it is difficult to find his trace when the army of Liang arrives. So he turned sideways and flashed into the crowd. Men and women dressed in indigo or navy blue finch spirit costumes gradually poured in, and Yuan Zhongze's gray figure soon disappeared.
At the same time, in another corner of Mangcheng, in a two-story attic, the carved window lintels were closed. In the room, Wu Qiushui stood behind Lin Jiangyue, who was sitting, and in front of the two of them was a bronze mirror. But in the mirror is the face of a strange woman.
"Senior sister, is this really okay?" Lin Jiangyue looked at her appearance in the mirror in disbelief, and became another person she didn't know at all. This appearance bears a five-point resemblance to her. This is why it's up to her, the young disciple of the Ethereal Peak Shang Yu Sect, to carry out this task.
"Of course, you have to believe in your senior sister's disguise technique. Your senior sister and I, Yu Shangyu's talent is like this, but the disguise technique is very likely to be the first in the world. When the time comes, you will stand in front of Yuan Zhongze, and it will be dark, and I will guarantee that I will not wear a gang. ”
Lin Jiangyue touched her face again: "I'm not afraid of goofs, I did my homework before I came." memorized all the things of Yuan Zhongze and Yu Wanqing in his mind. But I'm afraid that Yuan Zhongze is a dead brain, and he won't entrust the princess to me. ”
Wu Qiushui smiled evilly: "It's polite to come with him, if he doesn't give in." Then you're going to be hard. ”
Lin Jiangyue hurriedly shook her head: "I can't beat him!" ”
"Stupid! Wouldn't you use 'Wind Without a Trace'? It was the smoke that the master specially begged from the medical saint. Colorless and odorless, it works immediately. If he doesn't know the times, you can breathe a sigh at him. Custody is still you slaughtered. ”
"Senior sister! I don't want to hurt him! ”
"Okay, okay, I know, our little sister doesn't even dare to kill chickens. However, it is possible to hand him over to Liang Guo, so that he can get a bounty. Do you know that his head is worth ten thousand gold! ”
Lin Jiangyue turned her head and looked at Wu Qiushui, who was dreaming of making a fortune. She knew that her senior sister entered Shang Yumen by chance, but her mind was not entirely on the piano. When Senior Sister talked about Yuan Zhongze's bounty just now, her eyes couldn't help but twinkle. A little worried, she really moved her mind like this.
"Senior sister, after all, we have nothing to do with that Yuan Zhongze, so it's better not to harm his life."
Wu Qiushui sneered again: "A mud bodhisattva, sooner or later, it will be spread with big water." It's just a ride. ”
After listening to what her senior sister said, Lin Jiangyue felt even more uneasy.
At night, every household in Mangcheng lit lamps and candles. From afar, the stars are dotted. On the northernmost hill of Mangcheng, there is a floating temple built on the mountain. At the entrance of the temple is the lively flower street, which is also the most prosperous place in Mangcheng.
Yuan Zhongze stood under the banyan tree at the door of the Futu Temple as agreed. The huge canopy of the banyan tree is covered with red prayer cloth strips of men and women. Going down, you can see the flowers and lights on the flower street.
And Lin Jiangyue, who was pretending to be Wanqing, came from a small alley. Not far from her was Wu Qiushui, who was dressed as a flower girl from the Sparrow Spirit Clan.
Wu Qiushui was casually peddling flowers while monitoring Lin Jiangyue's movements. If something goes wrong, she can go up and fix it.
Yuan Zhongze, who was standing under the tree, kept looking, and finally, a woman slowly walked under the stone stairs of Huajie, who was the person he was looking for.
was about to wave over her excitedly.
But suddenly, many people rushed out of the alley next to them.
Lin Jiangyue clearly saw that these people took out the distribution order from his waist without saying a word, and his bright blade headed towards Yuan Zhongze. This sudden change made Lin Jiangyue dumbfounded.
The originally happy expression on Yuan Zhongze's face instantly became serious, and then he turned around and leaped, making Shangqing Gong flee for his life. The man in black behind also quickly chased after him.
Lin Jiangyue hesitated for only a moment, without any pause, and also chased after him.
Wu Qiushui originally wanted to call Lin Jiangyue back, but obviously, a third force was involved in this matter. And her intuition told her that it was Liang Guo's side. In this way, it will not be easy for her little sister to complete this task. But she didn't have time to hold Lin Jiangyue, and the people had already run away with Yuan Zhongze.
She was very angry in her heart, and scolded Lin Jiangyue ten thousand times in her heart.
"This fool!"
also chased after him with his skirt.
The bluestone pavement under his feet was washed by the rain and was a little slippery. I convey the cold hardness that comes clearly from a thin sole. The narrow streets are lined with hawkers carrying bamboo poles, making it more and more difficult to navigate. Wu Qiushui turned on the dim lights and walked through the intricate streets and alleys.
Turning around, all the way from the main street to the middle of nowhere. The alley ahead is a dead end. A ditch stretched down, and a woman crouched on the edge of the ditch pounding clothes.
The sound of pounding clothes is quieter at night.
Wu Qiushui frowned, she had already lost it. Lin Jiangyue was also nowhere to be found. How can she explain to her teacher?
She walked back slowly, feeling a little melancholy. The prosperity of Flower Street surrounds us again.
"Girl, how do you sell this flower?"
A boy looked at Wu Qiushui's good appearance and grabbed Wu Qiushui's little arm. A malicious smile appeared on his face.
Wu Qiushui didn't want to entangle with him: "If you don't do business today, let's buy it tomorrow." ”
"Don't go, little girl. Go back to the house with my son, I will let you be prosperous and rich for the rest of your life, and you don't have to come out to sell flowers. Luckily? ”
Wu Qiushui disdained him in his heart, but threw him an eyebrow: "That son will come here to look for me at this time tomorrow, and the little girl will consider the child's words." ”
The man thought that he was favored by Wu Qiushui, and his heart fluttered, so he nodded and agreed. Let go of the hand that was holding Wu Qiushui's arm. Watch her leave.
Wu Qiushui rushed to the original inn without looking back, and he didn't care about the son, because she wouldn't come again tomorrow.
Wu Qiushui, who returned to the inn, immediately packed his luggage. Since the task assigned by the master has not been completed, he will inevitably be punished when he returns. Besides, where can I go to my unparalleled disguise technique?
She thought of the noble son's words, and felt even more that this world of flowers, with red dust, was many times better than the days on the ethereal peak. In the Ethereal Peak Shang Yumen, there are many outstanding sisters and sisters of her generation.
Sitting in front of the mirror, she quickly applied a disguise to herself.
Just then, she heard the door being pushed open.
"Who?" Wu Qiushui immediately asked.
