Chapter 121: Give Me Back My True Face
Looking at the woman Mo Ye brought, she was a petite one, wearing an indigo long shawl that hung down from her shoulders, a dark embroidered brimmed hat hood between her hair, and a double bun dreadlock, revealing half of her dark slap face, with a naΓ―ve expression.
She shared a horse with Mo Ye, because "Zheng Quqi" is not proficient in equestrianism, it seems that Mo Ye has done his homework this time......
That face...... Zheng Quqi narrowed her eyes, the light flowed, illuminating the outline of her facial features, and she was slightly stunned.
Obediently, where did Mo Ye find someone so similar to himself in this fight?
No, it's not like, it's that face, it's exactly a copy and paste of her, okay?
Is there really anyone in this world who looks exactly the same?
Thousands of worlds, how strange there is, maybe there really are, such as twins, but Zheng Quqi is sure that she does not have such a twin sister.
If you think about it in her head with zero conspiracy basis, you know that there must be a trick in it.
Xiao Meng grabbed a handful of grass on the ground, restrained his excitement and said, "Brother Ya'er, the people in the city should be fine, Sima has brought someone to exchange with Ye Guohuo Yama." β
But Gongchen Ya rubbed his chin and drooped his eyelids: "But why do I think it shouldn't be so simple?" β
On the other side, Aunt Mei walked over shortly, and when she saw a strange woman following next to the Gongchen Cliff, she frowned slightly: "Cliff, come over for a while." β
Gongchen Ya turned his head and bowed his head: "Okay." β
And after the minister's cliff was shouted away, Xiao Meng whispered to Zheng Quqi about some gossip between women: "Sister ruler, look, the wife of General Ye Guo is really ugly, and it's so dark." β
Little girls love beauty, and sometimes they can't hold back their mouths, which makes people listen to their hearts.
ββ¦β¦ Is it? So far away, what do you look like about her? β
Not everyone has Zheng Quqi's superior eyesight, she doesn't believe that Xiao Meng really sees the other party's appearance clearly, if she really sees it, she shouldn't think that person is somewhat similar to her, but should think that the two look no different.
Xiao Meng choked, and then muttered unconvincedly: "I didn't see it too clearly, but she sat in front of Sima, and when she compared, it was particularly prominent, I thought it would be a woman who was captivating the country and the city, but now it seems ......"
Zheng Quqi interrupted: "Maybe she is not Yu Wensheng's wife, none of us have ever met anyone, isn't this all guessing?" β
"You're right, but you see that she is thin and small, she is definitely not a female general, and the woman who will be taken to the dangerous battlefield by Sima at this time, logically speaking, shouldn't it be her?" Xiao Meng drew conclusions based on his own judgment.
Zheng Quqi, who couldn't refute because the other party said it was too reasonable, changed the subject: "Maybe, I just said it casually, but do you think she looks like me?" β
Xiao Meng said embarrassedly: "At first glance, it looks quite similar, but when I look at it again, I don't feel like it, Sister Ruler is not as dark as her." β
Not as dark as her?
Zheng Quqi was stunned.
Yes, she no longer deliberately applies black charcoal powder to her body now, and after her skin naturally metabolizes melanin, it is naturally not as dark as it was at the beginning, is it difficult for her face......
"Xiao Meng, my face ...... Isn't it dark? β
So far, Xiao Meng has seen her appearance, although it was originally due to a reckless move.
Xiao Meng didn't even think about it and replied, "It's not dark." β
Zheng Quqi asked expectantly, "Is that white?" β
When Xiao Meng heard this, he seemed to be entangled: "How white is white?" β
"That's it...... Is it compared to the cliff of the minister? β
To be honest, among this group of people, the princess cliff is whiter, maybe the good-looking people have the same characteristics, that is, they can be seen at a glance among the sentient beings, and fair skin is definitely an important point.
"Well, Brother Ya'er is whiter than us." Xiao Meng hesitated.
Oh, got it.
"We", of course, also includes Zheng Quqi.
She estimates that her current state should be in a black or white, white or white.
Suddenly, she had an idea, since everyone who knows "Zheng Quqi" thinks that she should be black, then she should be as white as a ghost, and the main thing is a contrast.
In this way, others will not recognize her at all.
Right! After a while, find some strong soap to wash it, and try to clean all the black stains floating on the epidermis.
It didn't take long for Gongchen Cliff to come back, and Aunt Mei glanced at Zheng Quqi again, but this time it was no longer vigilant and suspicious, but a little exploration and surprise, she called Xiao Meng away.
Gongchen Ya took Zheng Quqi back to the cave dwelling, he walked very slowly, and the two of them walked under the moonlight, but slowly opened their hearts.
"Why did you bring me here to see this?"
Zheng Quqi turned his head and asked him.
Gongchen Ya pursed his lips and smiled: "Where do you stay, you will definitely be annoyed by their questions, so I will simply take you away." By the way, ruler, tomorrow Aunt Mei and I will enter the Wind Valley Sand City, will you stay here to recuperate, or will you join us? β
Zheng Quqi was silent for a moment before repeating: "Tomorrow, ......"
"Yes, tomorrow is the deadline for Yuwensheng to give Sima and them, the closed city gate will be reopened, if the negotiations between the two parties go well, the Ye State garrison in Wind Valley Sand City will be evacuated, and then everything should return to its original state, do you want to go and see?"
"I am wounded, and it is inconvenient for me to enter the city, so I will not delay you. I heard Xiao Meng say, you are here to save people, who do you want to save? β
Since Yu Wensheng was in Wind Valley Shacheng, Zheng Quqi didn't want to go, if she could, she just wanted to stay away from him now.
Gongchen Ya heard her refusal, he tore off a branch and shook it, and between the cascading green hills, his fresh and clean eyebrows were particularly distinct.
"Yang Gu."
This name is not familiar to Zheng Quqi, but he has also heard others talk about it.
"Is it the boss of the Giant Deer Country's Heavenly Trench Border?"
Gongchen Ya smiled softly at her: "Hmm." β
Zheng Quqi Zhengse: "It's too dangerous for you to do this, even if Yuwen Sheng is willing to let the people in the city go, but Yang Gu's words are not necessarily." β
As the old saying goes, when two armies fight, the people will suffer, but there is a more widespread saying that the battle situation may be unknown, but the enemy will die.
Gongchen Ya nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's why I want to take advantage of the chaos to save people in the gap between Sima Moye and Yu Wensheng's confrontation, or when the two sides fight." Of course I knew the danger, but I had to save him anyway. β
This matter actually has nothing to do with Zheng Quqi, she doesn't know why Gongchen Ya has to save Yang Gu, but since she doesn't plan to meddle in this matter, it is inconvenient to ask more.
"Then I wish you all the best."
Gongchen Ya threw away the branches, and Huo flashed a pair of starry eyes: "Ruler, have you ever seen an old man named Mu Zaiqi?" β
Zheng Quqi gave him a strange look.
"Nope."
Seeing that her expression was naturally not fake, Gongchen Ya raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and sighed softly: "That old man, he is always elusive, and not long ago he went to the Wind Valley Shacheng camp to be a military doctor, and I can't contact him at this time, and I don't know what happened to him." β
Medic, old man...... No, Zheng Quqi only knows that a military doctor is a military doctor, and he really doesn't know what his name is.
"You...... What is the relationship with that military doctor? She asked tentatively.
"Relationship, it's just that we know each other, by the way, the can of wound medicine you applied before was given by him, what do you think now?"
Zheng Quqi stared at him silently.
He was still as usual, smiling with deft pink lips, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and a pair of innocent eyes like morning dew, making him look innocent and harmless.
Ahh
Suddenly she understood a lot of things.
If Gongchen Ya and the military doctor knew each other, then maybe he saw something in her at first.
The cloak on her body was interchangeable with the previous clothes with the military doctor, but after the change of medicine, Xiao Meng gave her a set of her own clean dresses, and she changed it.
But Gongchen Ya was obviously aware of these from the beginning, but he was able to be quiet, friendly with her on the surface, and tried step by step behind his back, without revealing his thoughts, and now he estimated that after confirming that she was harmless, he would tell her thoroughly......
Zheng Quqi often has a feeling that he is not scheming enough and is out of place with the people around him.
She took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled: "If the old man military doctor you are talking about is the one who gave me this cloak, then I should have seen it, and the wounds on my body were also bandaged by him." β
No wonder this man had to check the wounds on her body, and he also had the deep meaning to find out who had treated her wounds, which were rooted in this.
After hearing this, the ministers did not make a sound for a long time.
And Zheng Quqi is no longer looking at the mountain now, she looked at him, wondering if this person's brain is digging some trap again, waiting for her to jump down.
"And how did you meet?" He asked, with wide, watery eyes.
At first glance, this is a simple and curious boy.
Of course, Zheng Quqi can't be said to be in the camp, otherwise it will easily make people think dangerously...... She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and recalled a series of events that had happened tonight, as if she had guessed what Gongchen Ya was thinking.
She did the same as him, pinned a branch and held it in her hand to play with, and said casually: "I fled from another country, and at first there was a team of people to escort me, but when I met the bandits of the green forest, they all died, and they sent me away with their last breath." β
"I was at a loss along the way, I didn't know where to go, I accidentally ran to the mountain, found a thatched house, and then I temporarily had a foothold, that is, there I met a kind old man, he saw that I was wounded, very pitiful, so he bandaged me with medicine, and left food, but then for a long time, he did not come up the mountain again, I lacked food and medicine on the mountain, and I ran down the mountain in desperation......"
Under careful scrutiny, her words are almost unassailable, she did not flee alone, but in the end, her wounds were bandaged with precious medicine, but she was not carefully cared for afterwards, she did not know anything about the surrounding environment, and finally strayed into the camp and met them......
All have a relatively reasonable explanation.
Gongchen Ya believed it for the time being.
"I see, I thought it was ......"
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then smiled again: "yes, how is this possible. β
If she was really that man's wife, after she was out of danger, when she learned that the other party was looking for her in the city, she would try her best to go to the reunion, and she would not be as prevaricated as she is now, unwilling to go to Wind Valley Sand City with him.
Moreover, tonight he led her to see Sima Moye's team, she looked very ordinary at that time, not as nervous, fearful and angry as when she met the enemy, and Sima Moye also had a woman who was suspected of being "Zheng Quqi" by her side.
β¦β¦ Sure enough, he thought too much.
Zheng Quqi heard him talking to himself, and his little face was tilted to the side, all shadows.
Oh, he really suspected that she was Zheng Quqi, and he blamed her for her mouth, saying that the fake name didn't know that she couldn't hit it with eight poles, so she had to take a ruler, why not call it a pole, a stick, and a hammer.
It's even more strange that the timing of her appearance was too coincidental, and she fled alone with suspicious scars on her body, and she also had something to do with the camp military doctor......
"How is it possible?" Zheng Quqi pretended to be puzzled.
Gongchenya scratched his cheek embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's because I'm thinking too much, you can rest in my cave tonight, I'm on duty, I won't go back." β
"It's not good."
There is a difference between men and women, not to mention that she is still married, he is a yellow flower girl, she wants to live in his cave dwelling, and tomorrow there will be ironclad gossip and rumors flying all over the sky.
"Don't worry, no one will talk nonsense." The minister said firmly.
He occasionally looks like a vigorous young man, but sometimes he looks like a man in power, this contradiction is not abrupt, just like himself, with a sharp heart and a pair of childish eyes.
Since he said so, Zheng Quqi no longer refused.
That night, Zheng Quqi humbly asked Gongchen Ya, who was clean and still exuded the fragrance of white lotus, how to do it, and he gave her a box of soap cream.
This is his own research and development, he is quite talented in this kind of side door technique, how complex the materials are Zheng Quqi does not want to know, but it can really wash away the dirt on people's skin.
This is what she has personally tested.
She poured a little and rubbed vigorously on her arm, and there were not many bubbles, but the floating layer of emulsified black water was enough to prove that it could clean up all the dirt in the pores.
"It's ...... dirty"
Seeing that the skin was not allergic and swollen, I dug a small lump in the palm of my hand, added water and foamed it on my face.
After pouring two large basins of sewage, she touched her face...... It wasn't tender and smooth at all, but after drying her face, she dried, as if her skin had been washed off.
Also, such a powerful soap detergent can be used to wash the most delicate face in winter, but a layer of skin must not be peeled in order to restore the true color of her skin.
I don't know what she looks like after blackening.
Now this condition is not a serious mirror to look at, but observe the washing of her arm...... Forget it, the surroundings are dark and dark, the oil lamp is dim and sallow, and it is not clear whether it is cold white, warm white or neutral and healthy skin, or get up tomorrow morning and look again in natural light.
