Chapter 43: Childe is gone
The guard immediately smiled: "The young owner is too polite, I thank the young owner for the brothers." ”
The carriage went all the way out of the city and galloped along the official road. Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and just wanted to raise his hand to rub his stiff face, remembering that his face was coated with a thick layer of paste by Deng Yizhen, and put his hand down again.
Yu Mingxi took out a small bronze mirror from the dark compartment of the carriage and handed it over, and when Mo Li took a photo, he realized that he couldn't even recognize himself. The man in the mirror had a darker complexion, smaller eyes, thicker and straighter eyebrows, flat cheekbones, and a few small freckles on his cheeks. This is a face that can't be more ordinary, and it can be lost in an instant when thrown into a pile.
"Brother Zhen is too powerful!" Mo Li exclaimed, "In just a few moments, this face has completely changed. ”
Yu Mingxi held back a smile and said, "If I knew that you would be nervous like that, I would have asked you to look in the mirror a long time ago." Brother Zhen's disguise technique is not comparable to many people. ”
"I've only heard that human skin masks can change people's appearance, but I didn't expect that these simple strokes can also change people's appearance." Mo Li looked carefully at the person in the mirror and muttered in a low voice, "This is much higher than the craftsmanship of Internet celebrity makeup experts." ”
"What kind of red people?" Yu Mingxi asked puzzledly, "Is it also specialized in the study of disfigurement?" ”
Mo Li's heart was not good, and he accidentally said that he was bald, and quickly put down the mirror and explained: "It's a person I knew before who likes makeup, his surname is Wang and his name is Hongda." ”
Yu Mingxi touched his chin and thought for a while: "I haven't heard of this name, will he also be disguised?" ”
"Oh, how can he be disguised, he is just idle, he just likes to wear makeup, and he can't compare with his real brother." Mo Li waved his hand and changed the subject, "Table...... Brother, let's settle for it? ”
"It's just out of the city, and it's still in the Ding'an territory, and it will probably be out of Ding'an completely in the afternoon." Yu Mingxi reclined on the chair and said nonchalantly.
Here Mo Li went out of the city, but Mama He who was waiting in the tea shop over there was so anxious that she even had the heart to die. The guys at the tea shop called out the shopkeeper, and several people searched the tea shop inside and out, but there was no Mo Li.
Mama He pointed at the guy and jumped to his feet: "You brought people to the backyard, why are they gone?" ”
The guy looked innocent: "I sent the little boy to the toilet and came back, didn't you see it too?" At that time, you told me that you were bothering me. ”
A man in a dark pants gown entered the tea shop and went straight to Mama He: "What's the matter?" ”
Mama He was stunned, she had never seen this person before, and looked at him suspiciously. The person who came lowered his voice and said in Mama He's ear: "I am the general's bodyguard, responsible for secretly protecting the son." ”
"Childe went to the toilet in the backyard, and the person was gone." Mama He pulled the sleeves of the guards as if she was a relative, and tears flowed down like no money.
The guard pulled his arm out of her hand and ran straight to the backyard. After some searching, there was no other abnormality except that the small door in the backyard was not tethered. Follow the small door to the back alley, and then to the alley, there are no traces on the ground, not even fresh footprints.
Mama He sobbed and asked, "Is there any trace of the son?" ”
The guard shook his head: "I'll go and talk back." See what the master decides. ”
In the Ding'an City Mansion, Murong Chu was accompanying Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, and a cadre of officials to negotiate with Hu Rendan, Yu Helian Tuge and others. The war was originally started by the Hu people's unprovoked invasion of the Great Zhou, and now that the Hu people have been defeated, they are not qualified to negotiate conditions at all. But the king of Jin thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty was a state of etiquette, and he did not treat it with courtesy, which made Helian Tuge's face gradually change from vigilance to disdain.
Among the Hu people who came with Helian Tug was a young woman, dressed in a rosy robe with a brocade rimmed with narrow sleeves, striped trousers, and a pair of soft brocade boots embroidered with gold threads. The jet-black hair is braided into countless small braids, each braid is slightly covered with multicolored silk threads, and the two willow eyebrows on the goose-egg-shaped little face are curved like spring mountains, revealing a heroic spirit. The pink cherry lips under the upturned nose hooked a bewitching smile, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked forward to wandering with a little spring, lingering among the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
His gaze fixed on Murong Chu, and the smile on the corner of his lips became stronger. Murong Chu's face sank like water, but he raised his eyes slightly, and a cold light like ice swept across the woman's face. He knew that the woman was Helian Bimei who had injured Mo Li. Now that she was sitting at the negotiating table in a dignified manner, the coldness on his body was even more chilling.
Helian Xiangmei did not show weakness at all, raised her chin slightly, and looked straight at Murong Chu, the curvature of the corners of her lips was a little bigger, and her lips pursed lightly, and she blinked her eyes with a hint of mischievousness.
Several ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty took turns to fight with the Hu people, and the whole morning passed, but there was no progress at all in the negotiations. The Hu people only agreed to withdraw their troops and go back, and they were not to talk about any compensation and land cession. Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, was still sitting there with a shelf, but there was obvious impatience on his face. Helian Tug was a group of people who were holding their shoulders and arguing with great interest.
Finally, when the time came, a bearded man with a long beard stood up with a bull's eye, slapped the table with one palm, and shouted in not very fluent Chinese: "What time is it, Lao Tzu is hungry, go eat first." With that, he shook the hem of his animal skin robe and strode out.
Helian Rumei covered her lips and chuckled: "Hu Evil Shan Yu is such a hot temper, don't be surprised. It's not too early today, or let's talk about it tomorrow? ”
The civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty all looked at King Jin, Zhong Hanchi snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and the others hurriedly followed. Murong Chu stood up unhurriedly and followed behind everyone, and when he passed by Helian Rumei's side, he only heard her chuckle and said, "The little woman has heard of General Murong's name for a long time, and when she saw it today, she really had an extraordinary bearing. If the general doesn't mind, can we have a meal together? ”
"General Ben minds." Murong Chu had no intention of staying. Helian Rumei didn't seem to care about his unreasonableness, and continued: "Also, it is indeed not suitable for you and me to be too close at this time, and we will drink wine well in the future." ”
Murong Chu squinted at Helian Yimei and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, you and I will never have such a chance." ”
Out of the courtyard, King Jin had already gone back to rest, passed down the word, and discussed the matter at the right time. Someone brought Murong Chu's oolong horse over, and before he could get on the horse, he saw the secret guard seventeen sent to protect Mo Li dodge over from the wall.
Murong Chu frowned slightly, and his heart was not good. Sure enough, Seventeen clenched his fists and whispered, "Master, the son is gone." ”
