Chapter 357: Disguise
After hearing Chu Ruoyao's question, City Lord Li nodded: "King Yan rest assured, Xia Guan has already told the chief of the lieutenant all these details, and asked him to repeat them again, and only came back after confirming that there was no problem." ”
"And the lower official also told him about you, the princess and Marshal Shen going to the village, the lieutenant was worried at first, in case the people from the northern Xinjiang came, there was no way to take care of your safety, and the lower official told him again about your and Marshal Shen's plans, and he finally agreed."
After hearing the whole thing, Chu Ruoyan nodded with satisfaction: "It's good, what we have to prepare now is some things to go to the village, and the most important thing is identity." ”
He asked Guo Dong to bring over the things he had prepared, and when he had this plan before, he had already secretly ordered Guo Dong and others to find some clothes for the people to wear, the more shabby the better.
Several guards carried the things prepared by Chu Ruoyu and brought them up, and City Lord Li frowned when he saw the tattered clothes in the box.
"Come on, each of you picks up your clothes from these boxes." Chu Ruoyao instructed a few guards beside him.
Without saying a word, everyone began to rummage through the box, but the city lord Li on the side did not move.
"Why didn't City Lord Li come to look for clothes?" Chu Ruoyao asked suspiciously.
"Your Highness, do you want us all to change into clothes like this? But these clothes are too worn, and ......" City Lord Li looked down at those clothes, "and some of the clothes even have a lot of dust and holes on them, I'm afraid it's ......"
"I'm afraid of what?" Chu Ruoyan asked City Lord Li as she picked up a piece of clothing from the box and gestured it on her body.
"Luo Bing, what do you think of this dress?" He asked Li Luobing with a somewhat tattered cyan robe.
Li Luobing looked at it, smiled and nodded: "This dress is very suitable for the prince, if you wear it on your body, say that you are a villager, and there is absolutely no objection." ”
"That's the best thing to do." They had to stay safe in the village without being discovered, and only those who pretended to be from the village could do it, and they could not bring any of the brocade robes they usually wore with them, and even the necessary grooming and dressing had to be reduced accordingly.
"Lord Wang, do you want to wear this dress too?" City Lord Li's eyes widened and he asked Chu Ruoyao.
"What? What's so strange about this? This is also part of the plan, and City Lord Li won't want to participate, right? ”
Chu Ruoyao's words were full of threat, and under his gaze, City Lord Li could only come to the box and frown, and after picking through it for a long time, he found a relatively intact piece of clothing.
"There is one thing that needs to be known to City Lord Li, these clothes cannot be washed or changed when we have not left the village, everything must be exactly the same as the local villagers, Beijiang doesn't know when to come, if we show flaws, the whole will fail."
When he heard that not only did he have to change into these dirty clothes, but he even had to wear them on his body for a long time, City Lord Li almost collapsed at that time. He had been the city lord for so many years, and he had never seen such tattered clothes, let alone let him wear them all the time.
But as the prince, Chu Ruoyan was already planning to wear it, and he, the city lord, naturally couldn't escape, so he had to take the dress back to the house.
The next morning, Chu Ruoyan sent someone to the village in advance to talk about the various identities that everyone would play in the village, and then sent the news back to the City Lord's Mansion.
He gathered them together and told them where they were in the village.
"We will go directly into the village in a while, everyone must remember that when we are in the village, we must not show any horses' feet, and we must not let the people of Northern Xinjiang find out that we do not belong to this village, but if they come, we must also pay attention to their numbers."
Chu Ruoyan explained the precautions for entering the village with a serious expression, and everyone was listening carefully, but City Lord Li was holding his dirty clothes and sighing.
"Why is the city lord sighing?" Unexpectedly, his sighing voice was heard by Li Luobing next to him, Li Luobing twisted his head to the side of City Lord Li and asked him curiously.
Seeing Princess Yan looking at him, City Lord Li hurriedly put away the look on his face and smiled respectfully at Li Luobing.
"Xia Guan is just a little worried, if the people from the northern Xinjiang don't come for a long time, then won't we have to stay in the village for a long time?"
"City Lord Li is right," Chu Ruoyao, who was talking to everyone, also heard him mutter, "If Beijiang doesn't come to the village for a long time, we must wait in the village until they come to the village." ”
As soon as they heard that they were going to face such an environment, everyone began to talk about it, and Chu Ruoyan raised her hand to signal it, so that everyone should not discuss it too much.
"If this king's guess is correct, it won't be long before Beijiang may come to this village, and then everyone needs to pay special attention." Chu Ruoyan briefly told these entourages about the results of Marshal Shen's speculation that day.
After everyone expressed their understanding, the group headed towards the outside of Chaoyang City, and when they noticed that among the crowd who went together, there were actually two women, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion and several soldiers sent by Marshal Shen all looked sideways.
Seeing that his subordinates were staring at Li Luobing, City Lord Li's face was a little unbearable, how could he make such a move in front of King Yan and Princess Yan?
He waved his hand at these people: "Look at what? Take care of yourselves, don't cause trouble everywhere, this is Princess Yan. ”
After hearing City Lord Li's words, some guards who didn't know the inside story during the period now have a heartfelt admiration for Li Luobing.
They all know the danger of entering the village, if they don't pay attention, they may confront a large number of people in the northern Xinjiang, in this case, Princess Yan did not stay in the city lord's mansion, but went to the village with King Yan, which greatly surprised everyone.
"There is also a reason for this king to let Concubine Yan go, in case someone is injured in this conflict, they can also get timely medical treatment."
After hearing his words, people remembered that this Princess Yan, who had not spoken, was the one who became famous in the barracks a few days ago.
Not only did she not discriminate against the bloodied soldiers, but she also bandaged the soldiers herself, and her strange-looking medical skills were much better than those of ordinary doctors, and the soldier who was hit by the arrow a few days ago was now almost healed.
When a group of people were about to arrive at the city gate, Marshal Shen was already waiting there, he was not with everyone just now, because he had some things to arrange in the barracks, and this time he might leave for three or four days, if he didn't make a careful plan, he would definitely not dare to leave this place temporarily.
"Let's go, it won't be long after we get out of the city gate, and the lieutenant will come to pick us up, thanks to City Lord Li, if it weren't for him, we would be in a lot of trouble."
Hearing Chu Ruoyan praising himself in front of everyone, City Lord Li also felt embarrassed, he didn't expect that he was so lucky, the matter was successful at one time, and he also received the attention of so many people, and even the previous image of the city lord was slowly changing in everyone's hearts.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment, this is what your lower officials should do as the lord of a city." City Lord Li scratched his head a little embarrassed.
Before everyone spoke, they had already left Chaoyang City. It wasn't long before I got out of the city gates. I saw a figure not far away.
"That man is the head of the village, and he's here to greet us." City Lord Li raised his eyes and saw the figure of the chief, and City Lord Li hurriedly turned around and said to everyone.
When they got closer, the lieutenant looked at the clothes on the men.
"If there's something wrong, just say it." Chu Ruoyan looked at the long man's eyes and said.
Hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, Li Chang looked at him and found that this person was the most outstanding in this group of people in terms of clothing and temperament, and he should be the head of these people, and he naturally respected Chu Ruoyao.
"It's not that the villain is deliberately finding fault, it's really that your clothes are too conspicuous, if you enter the village, it will definitely not work." The lieutenant shook his head again and again as he spoke.
"You don't have to worry about that." Li Luobing, who was next to him, spoke directly, and then asked Qiao Su to take out the clothes he had prepared.
Not only her, but Chu Ruoyan and the others also took out the clothes they had prepared, and when the chief saw that they were preparing these ordinary people's clothes, his hanging heart finally relaxed.
"There is absolutely no problem in entering the village like this, please come with the villain! The village is a bit far from here, and it's still in the mountains, so it's not a short walk. ”
After the lieutenant chief finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to walk to the village, but was stopped by the city lord Li on the side.
"Are you going to walk like this to the village?"
"Of course." The lieutenant turned his head to look at City Lord Li, his face full of doubts, "What else can you do if you don't walk like this?" The people in our village have always walked to Chaoyang City, and now they naturally have to walk back. ”
City Lord Li was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and looked at Chu Ruoyu and the others behind him with some hesitation. It's understandable for the chief here to walk back, but these people are either princes or marshals, do they have to let them go back?
After Li Luobing noticed this situation, he whispered a few words to Chu Ruoyi, only to see that after Chu Ruoqi discussed a few words with Marshal Shen, everyone walked over from near the carriage.
"Since they are all villagers, they naturally have to walk back, the carriage here will be put down first, someone will deal with it later, let's go!"
Chu Ruoyao's opening made the lieutenant chief relax a lot, but it was bad news for City Lord Li.
