The next day, Rongcheng, 9 a.m.

Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin had a leisurely breakfast at home, because there was a time difference of several hours between the two worlds, so they would not be in a hurry to go back to Dongchu.

"Ningning, is there any way to properly cover my face without wearing a mask?"

When cleaning up after dinner, Song Shaoqin suddenly asked a question.

"Huh? What do you want? Xia Ninghu asked suspiciously.

Song Shaoqin said frankly, "We can't drive after we go back, we have to follow the routes of those errands, it is estimated that we will meet other people at any time, and it will be inconvenient to drive again."

Besides, I'm worried that there are people from the Xiao family in the team escorting my father, and now my identity should not be exposed, so I thought, is there any way on your side to change or cover up my original appearance a little? ”

Although masks are very convenient to wear and can cover most of their faces, the problem is that it is not common for them to wear masks, but it is a very strange thing.

And the person who will cover his face is either an unsightly killer or a person with a damaged face, if he appears in front of people wearing a mask, it is not low-key at all, but more eye-catching.

So the best way to blend in with the crowd is to change his appearance slightly, so that those who know him don't see through his identity at a glance.

"Oh~ That's it, that's simple, wrap it up on me!"

What else should Xia Ning do, she is almost about to associate with medical beauty and plastic surgery, if she just fools those officials, it is enough to rely on some modern makeup techniques.

Immediately, she immediately took her mobile phone and ordered a few cosmetics on delivery, although she also has makeup at home, but it is not suitable for pretending to be ugly.

Half an hour later, Xia Ning took the newly bought makeup tools and began to toss wantonly on Song Shaoqin's beautiful face!

"Tsk~"

More than ten minutes later, Xia Ning looked at the face in front of her, and smacked her mouth a little unbearably looking at her, she was really full of guilt.

The originally beautiful face was made into a pockmarked face by himself, and there is still a dull yellow pockmarked face.

It hurts so much, she repents!

"How?" Song Shaoqin didn't look in the mirror, and when he saw Ning Ning's dodging look, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

"See for yourself."

Xia Ning walked directly to the side and exposed the floor-to-ceiling mirror behind her, and Song Shaoqin's appearance was clearly printed in the mirror.

The man in the mirror has thick eyebrows, a rough dull yellow complexion, and dense small black spots on his cheeks, leaving only a pair of eyes that are still a little clear.

“.” Looking at himself in the mirror, Song Shaoqin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, is this really him?

If he hadn't watched Ningning rub his face with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the ugly man in the mirror would be him.

Could he be so ugly?

No wonder Ning Ning's eyes flickered, unwilling to face herself to speak, this face is indeed a little unbearable to look at.

Although this was his idea to ask Ning Ning to help, it really made it look like this, to be honest, Song Shaoqin, who had never cared much about his appearance, began to feel a little unacceptable.

"Ningning, are you sure you want to walk down the street with me like this?"

Song Shaoqin endured and endured it, but still had some reluctance, and asked Xia Ning meaningfully.

"Huh?"

Xia Ning paused, she didn't have any acquaintances in ancient times, so she didn't have to pretend to be ugly, if the two of them walked together, wouldn't it lower her appearance level?

This is nothing, the people around you will definitely talk about themselves, after all, walking with the focus of attention will also become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Hehe~ It's really too ugly, why don't I remove some pockmarks from your face and brow a little more delicate?"

After speaking, Xia Ning took the makeup tools and rubbed and smeared on Song Shaoqin's face again.

"Okay, what if you take a look?"

Looking at the delicate eyebrows and eyes in the mirror, the wheat-colored complexion, and the more than a dozen pockmarked spots on his cheeks, Song Shaoqin finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Yes, hard work."

Xia Ning is also quite satisfied with this makeup, although it is much uglier than Song Shaoqin's original appearance, but it can be regarded as delicate in the crowd, after all, no matter how ugly he is, his facial features will not change, good-looking eyes, and a tall nose bridge cannot be covered.

So on the whole, he can still be regarded as a beautiful son in the public.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Xia Ning quickly packed up her things and summoned the porcelain basin, as for the clothes, they had already changed them and could set off at any time.

——

Eastern Chu State, Ningzhou border.

"How do you get there?"

Being in a strange country, Xia Ning was completely at a loss.

"Don't worry, with me, I won't let you get lost." Song Shaoqin couldn't help but be amused, and then took her hand and walked in the direction of the north.

Xia Ning snorted, "I'm not worried, if I really want to get lost, I won't be hungry anyway, and my small life will definitely be comfortable and moisturizing." ”

"That's right."

Song Shaoqin's eyes were full of smiles, he agreed with this very much, even if she couldn't wear it back to modern times, she could also mix well in Dongchu with the things in the porcelain basin.

At noon, the two of them rested at a tea stall, almost four or five miles away from here is the county seat.

Guarding the tea stall was an old man about fifty years old, Song Shaoqin called a pot of tea, pretended to drink tea slowly, and when the old man turned his back and didn't pay attention, he directly poured out the tea.

There is a porcelain basin space, and they are not short of food and drink at all, and the reason why they chose to rest here is naturally to inquire about the news.

After all, they hadn't met anyone along the way.

"Old man, let me ask you, have there been many people who have been here these days?"

Song Shaoqin seemed to ask casually, and his tone was also very vague, and he didn't dare to inquire about the army directly.

The old man at the tea stall thought for a while, "How many days have it been?" At most, I saw five or six people in groups, and seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, who would want to go far away. ”

"Well, you're right." Song Shaoqin nodded in agreement, and when he heard Lao Er's answer, it was obvious that the team escorting his father and uncle had not yet walked here.

In this way, he and Ning Ning were ahead of them, and the two of them didn't need to rush to the front, they could stay here and wait for the army in Beijing.

As for why there is no doubt? Because there is only one route from Guanzhou to Beijing, and the other route will go around Shuzhou, they are in a hurry to escort people back to Beijing to resume their lives, and it is impossible to spend so much time detouring the long way.

"Drink slowly, both of you."

As he spoke, Lao Er turned around and went to the earthen stove, roasting the fire and napping.
