Chapter 67: Voice Change
"How?" Lan Xiaoqiu saw Li Da returning to the thatched house covered in blood, and several owners behind him were injured to varying degrees, but their expressions were more than just pain.
Lan Xiaoqiu saw that Li Da wanted to speak and stopped, so he ran to the door, but no one followed: "What about Ruosu?" What about Marshal? ”
Li Da sighed: "Ruosu and Marshal Ruo are both dead. ”
Suddenly, Lan Xiaoqiu felt that everything stopped beating, her eyes widened, and there were only three words in her mind: impossible.
"No, it won't." Lan Xiaoqiu shook her head: "Didn't you stop them?" ”
Li Da frowned: "This matter is indeed quite bizarre, Ruosu died in a sedan chair, the marshal killed himself, he told me to be careful of Fang Xu before he died." ”
A simple sentence was a big blow to Lan Xiaoqiu, all kinds of pictures filled her head, Ruo Su was still alive a few days ago, and the jade pendant on her chest was still warm, why was it gone today?
Li Da held Lan Xiaoqiu, she didn't seem to feel that she was moving, but fell into Li Da's arms, which was undoubtedly a painful blow to Lan Xiaoqiu.
"Tell me, tell me what the hell is going on." Lan Xiaoqiu shook Li Da frantically, and hot tears fell down.
After listening to the bloody scene in trembling, and draining all her tears in sadness, Lan Xiaoqiu took a deep breath: "That is to say, when Ruosu died, Fang Xu was closest to her, right?" ”
Li Da nodded: "When the marshal killed himself, it was also after Fang Xu appeared, and none of us were saved. ”
At this time, the other owners said: "Hongyu and Cheng Rong have fled, and Cheng Rong still appeared when the marshal died." ”
Li Da added: "Cheng Rong looks sad. ”
"Maybe we can find Cheng Rong and Hongyu to understand some of the situation, these days we live here first, and I will send someone to inquire about the news." Although Li Da and the others were masked, the injuries and blood on their bodies could not be publicized everywhere, so they could only stay in the thatched hut to heal.
Lan Xiaoqiu sat in the corner blankly, and she was reminiscing about the bits and pieces with Ruosu all night.
"Ruosu, Ruosu." Waking up from the dream, Lan Xiaoqiu got up from the straw, and Li Da stood beside Lan Xiaoqiu: "Did you have a nightmare?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "Ruosu asked me to avenge her." ”
Li Da squatted beside Lan Xiaoqiu and hugged her shoulders: "Calm down, things may not be what we imagined." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu looked resolute: "Ruosu must have been killed, we have to find Cheng Rong and Hongyu as soon as possible." ”
Saying that, Lan Xiaoqiu stood up like crazy and ran out, but met Fang Hao at the door.
Fang Hao was holding a piece of paper in his hand, he didn't know how long he had been standing under the moon, looking at Lan Xiaoqiu distressedly, Li Da took his hand away from Lan Xiaoqiu's arm.
Lan Xiaoqiu had tears in his eyes, and Fang Hao under the moon was blurred.
Fang Hao unfolded the paper: "This is a wanted warrant from the imperial court, you and Cheng Rong are wanted." ”
"What?" Lan Xiaoqiu saw that he and Cheng Rong were indeed drawn on the wanted notice.
"Where's Red Rain?" Li Da asked.
"She's dead." Fang Hao said: "It is said that Hongyu's body was found in the woods, she hanged herself to death, and someone saw Cheng Rong at the scene, so the court concluded that you were not kidnapped, and it is likely to be related to the death of Ruosu and the marshal." ”
"Red Rain is dead?" Lan Xiaoqiu frowned, it seemed that there was too much news of his death in the past few hours, and he had become a wanted criminal.
Fang Hao said again: "It is Qingcheng who is in charge of this investigation. ”
Needless to say, this must be the queen's idea, Qingcheng hated to capture Lan Xiaoqiu alive to avenge stealing the tea cans that day.
Li Da grabbed Lan Xiaoqiu: "You can't show your face anymore, stay here well, and we'll find a place to settle down early tomorrow morning." ”
Fang Hao nodded: "You can't show up now." ”
"But Ruosu is dead." Lan Xiaoqiu shook off Li Da's arm and pushed Fang Hao away.
Fang Hao rushed to Lan Xiaoqiu and grabbed her shoulder: "Yes, they are all dead, but you have to live." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to be aggrieved, she didn't continue to be stubborn, but covered her face and squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, Fang Hao and Li Da protected Lan Xiaoqiu one after another, and the two men watched Lan Xiaoqiu cry and cry all the time, but they were helpless.
Someone went out early in the morning to investigate, and sure enough, the capital was heavily guarded, and there was such a bloody case of happy events and funerals, which made the people of the capital terrified and uneasy.
The streets were plastered with all kinds of notices to arrest Lan Xiaoqiu and Cheng Rong, and the major checkpoints were also heavily guarded, and Qingcheng vowed to personally capture Lan Xiaoqiu and Cheng Rong alive to 'avenge Ruosu and the marshal'.
Lan Xiaoqiu and Li Da were still wandering in the thatched hut outside the city, they couldn't even enter the city, and there were many situations that they couldn't find out.
Lan Xiaoqiu's wish is to send Ruosu on her last journey, seeing that Ruosu is about to be buried, but Lan Xiaoqiu can only look at the ocean and sigh.
And a person who appeared at this time made everyone see hope, he was Bai Changmian Jun.
Changeable Mianjun told Lan Xiaoqiu: "It was the prince who asked me to come, he asked me to help you enter the city, and he knew that you would see Ruosu for the last time." ”
"Prince? Didn't the prince misunderstand me? Lan Xiaoqiu thought to herself, the prince was the queen's own son, and he was also a member of the royal family, how could he find someone to save him and go against the court?
"It's the prince that Fang Hao went to beg, and he assured the prince that you are not a murderer." As he spoke, he opened the box he was carrying, and although it was not large, it was also full of dazzling colors, including all kinds of beards, hoods, and dentures.
In order to see Ruosu, Lan Xiaoqiu could only turn to Bai Changmian Jun again.
The two entered the room, and not long after, when they came out of the house, everyone was stunned, it was Lan Xiaoqiu and Bai Chang Mian Jun who originally went in, but when they came out, it was Bai Chang Mian Jun and a handsome little student.
Although everyone knew about the magical disguise technique of the Hundred Changing Face, it was difficult for the little student in front of him to associate Lan Xiaoqiu together, and even the facial bones had changed.
Li Da had to admire and arch his hand: "The Hundred Variety Face King really lives up to his reputation. ”
Changeable Mask Jun turned to Lan Xiaoqiu and said, "Are you ready?" It would take at least three months for the mask to be removed. ”
After hearing this, Li Da asked, "What?" Isn't it just disguise? Why do you still have to take off the mask? ”
Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "Ready." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu's voice is actually sonorous and powerful, really like a man, this is also because Bai Chang Mianjun also fed her a voice change pill, and Lan Xiaoqiu's voice will be a male tone for a hundred days after eating it.
Just now, Lan Xiaoqiu was sitting in front of the mirror, she suddenly thought that she would have to change back to her original appearance in a short time, she thought that the last time she followed Fang Hao to spy on the secret of the Taihe for more than ten days, it was no problem, so she asked: "Is there a disguise technique that can last for a long time and is not easy to be discovered?" ”
Changeable Mask Jun seemed to have insight into Lan Xiaoqiu's thoughts: "I can make a person change his appearance for the rest of his life, but this requires my knife, I can make a dough, as long as it is attached to the face for three months, it will not fall off, and this dough will fit closely with the skin within three months, not even a little flaw, not afraid of water or knife, even if you want to gently cut a piece to find an opening, it will not be easy to find." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said, "Then please help me change my appearance, if I can maintain the image of a man for three months." No, it's better to be handsome. ”
The last condition is not that Lan Xiaoqiu loves beauty, but that she has other more important ideas.
When Lan Xiaoqiu saw the dough, some places were thinner than the silk mask used by Ms. Aimei in the 21st century.
Li Da secretly dragged Lan Xiaoqiu aside: "What are you going to do?" Isn't it to save Ruosu's funeral? ”
Lan Xiaoqiu lowered his head and was silent, and was about to leave after completing the task, Li Da suddenly grabbed Mianjun: "You can help me change my face and change my voice, so that I can protect him." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu looked at Li Da, and Li Da smiled slightly: "It's good to take care of it like this." ”
Similarly, Li Da also changed his appearance, and he was also a suave little student, which made many owners admire: "Ah, I can't recognize it, what about our village owner?" ”
Bai Changmian Jun left in the tugging, because many owners and subordinates felt fresh and wanted to change their appearance, and there was actually a subordinate who begged: "Help me become a woman, so that I can peek at the woman taking a bath." ”
Immediately afterwards, he was smashed on the head by a farmer: "Look at your appearance, even if you don't become a woman, you can peek at women taking a bath." ”
In this way, Li Da and Lan Xiaoqiu were completely unrecognizable.
Ruosu's coffin was carried out from the Marshal's Mansion, Ruozhang's coffin walked in front, and on both sides stood the soldiers who followed the two generals to fight, some of them screamed heartbreakingly, and some cried, and the death of these two was undoubtedly a great loss to the Qi Dynasty.
Lan Xiaoqiu stood in the middle of the crowd, her eyes full of tears, and her red eyes moved with the coffin.
Lan Xiaoqiu finally fulfilled her wish and sent Ruosu on her last journey, she took out the two jade pendants from her arms and held them tightly in her hands.
Lan Xiaoqiu turned his head to look at Li Da: "I want to ask you something." ”
"What?" Li Da had some bad premonitions.
"Don't tell Fang Hao our identity, just let Fang Hao think that we have all disappeared, and we will tell him the truth in three months, okay?" Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to pray.
Li Da frowned and said, "Even if I don't say it, Mian Jun will recognize you." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu shook his head: "There is another rumor about Mianjun, that is, he will not tell the guests who have been disguised by himself, so even if I hold a knife on the prince's neck, Mianjun will not tell the prince who I am, Mianjun said that this is similar to your rules of the rivers and lakes." If he had spoken out, he would not have lived to this point. ”
Li Da frowned and thought about it: "Will this be bad for Fang Hao?" ”
"I'm doing it for his good, and I don't want him to be involved." Lan Xiaoqiu looked into the distance, it was Ruosu's home, once one of the largest mansions in the capital, the Marshal's Mansion.
