Chapter 25: Famous Flowers Have Masters (5)
The next morning, when Linghua woke up, she found that she was still leaning on Long Shaotian's body, wearing Long Shaotian's clothes, but Long Shaotian had already woken up.
Linghua rubbed her eyes, sat up and said, "Young master, why didn't you wake me up?"
Long Shaotian said: "I can't bear to scream when I see you sleeping soundly." β
Linghua smiled and said, "Then my sleeping image looks good?"
Long Shaotian said: "Why do you always like to ask this kind of question! Okay, go to the river and wash your face, we have to go." β
After several hours of hurrying, the two finally came to the outside of Kaifeng City. Kaifeng City is worthy of being a big city, just from the outside, you can feel its magnificence.
When the two approached the city gate, they found that there were several officials outside the city gate, and each person who passed by had to take a picture in his hand to compare it.
Long Shaotian immediately dragged Linghua to a place where no one was around, and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city." β
Linghua asked, "For what?"
Long Shaotian said: "Those officials just now were holding our portraits in their hands, if they went in like this, they wouldn't be discovered immediately." β
Linghua said with some disappointment: "Then why don't we go in? People still want to go to the city to have a good meal!"
Long Shaotian couldn't cry or laugh again, but fortunately, he had long been accustomed to her way of thinking.
Long Shaotian said: "Since you want to go in so much, then let's go in." β
Linghua was happy again and said, "Then how are we going to go in so that we won't be discovered?"
Long Shaotian didn't answer, just took out a box and said with a smile: "I want to paint you makeup first!"
The two of them were drawn as a middle-aged couple, and the reason why they pretended to be husband and wife, Long Shaotian mainly wanted to make it more convenient for Linghua to be by his side. At this time, the appearance has completely changed from their original appearance, and when they walked to the city gate, sure enough, an official took their portrait and looked at them, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything unusual, so he let them pass.
Just as they were about to pass through the city gate, the two of them suddenly spotted a familiar faceβthe middle-aged man with a plain appearance, who was followed by another person, who was walking towards them. As she wiped her body, Linghua couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man, and this happened to match the middle-aged man! Linghua hurriedly retracted her gaze, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to care about them, so she passed by. Long Shaotian was naturally aware of this scene.
After walking a distance, Linghua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It was really dangerous just now! Fortunately, he didn't recognize us." β
Long Shaotian just smiled.
As soon as she entered the city, Linghua suddenly became energetic. The dazzling array of goods on the street is dazzling, but Linghua is tireless to look east and west, one will buy this, and the other will buy that, like a child, all the things that they are still being hunted down for. Long Shaotian had no choice but to follow her, but he didn't relax his vigilance at all, fortunately nothing happened.
In the evening, they found a random inn to stay. Because they are pretending to be husband and wife at this time, they really only need one room, which makes Linghua a little uncomfortable, but there is no objection. After the two were ushered into the room, they ordered a few dishes, and never came out again.
Soon after, a pair of people came from outside the inn, and the inn was surrounded in an instant. Then a pair of centaurs rushed in.
The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "What do you command?"
The man who took the lead was a tall middle-aged man, gorgeously dressed, with a long sword at his waist, and a cold face that gave people an inexplicable coercion, which made people daunting.
The tall middle-aged man pushed the shopkeeper away and said, "It's none of your business!" The shopkeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the group behind him immediately rushed upstairs, and after coming to the outside of the room where Long Shaotian and Linghua were, they kicked the door open, and then all rushed in. After a while, the group came out of it with sad faces.
One of them said to the middle-aged man downstairs: "Commander, they are not here!"
When the middle-aged man known as the Commander heard him say this, his brow furrowed, and he wanted to get angry, but he held back. For he saw another man come in, and that man was the middle-aged man with a plain appearance.
The commander said respectfully to the middle-aged man, "Envoy Yin, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man still had the same expressionless face, and said, "Where are they?"
The commander said, "Run away for them!"
The middle-aged man said: "Then don't chase it!"
The commander was a little embarrassed and said, "But we don't know where they went?"
The middle-aged man said: "Their destination is the capital, and they definitely want to get out of the city at this moment." β
The commander led his men and horses away as if they were in danger.
It turned out that the middle-aged man had already recognized them when he looked at Linghua at the city gate. The reason why there was no reaction at that time was that he was not very sure that he could restrain Long Shaotian at that time, and second, he planned to let Long Shaotian enter the city first, because they had absolute strength in this city. After that, he sent people to follow Long Shaotian and the others, and on the other hand, he contacted the commander to prepare his men and horses, ready to go out at any time. But Long Shaotian was on guard all the way, so they never had a chance. It wasn't until Long Shaotian and Linghua lived in the inn that they mobilized people and wanted to catch turtles in an urn, but Long Shaotian and the two had already come out of their shells.
Long Shaotian naturally knew that the middle-aged man had already recognized them. When Ryoka said, "Fortunately, it wasn't discovered", he didn't say it and smiled, just didn't want Ryoka to worry. But he has always maintained a high level of vigilance, and sure enough, he found that there were people watching him wherever he went, so he had to find a place where they couldn't keep an eye on first. It is conceivable that no matter how difficult those stalking are, I am afraid they will not stare at a couple in the same room, right?
Directly below the west gate, a couple on horseback were about to leave the city.
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly shouted: "Stop them, don't let them out of the city!"
When a group of soldiers guarding the city gate heard this, they immediately surrounded the two. The two looked a little panicked, and by this time the people behind had already caught up, and the people who came were none other than the group of men and horses led by the commander.
The commander said to the man: "Long Shaotian, see how you run this time!"
The man looked a little puzzled, and said, "This lord, do you recognize the wrong person? β
The commander said, "Hmph, don't think that you can be deceived by changing your disguise!" After saying that, he pulled the man over and tore his face vigorously for a long time, but he didn't notice that the person looked like he was wearing a mask.
The man was tossed by the commander like this, and said with a wry smile: "Look, my lord, I said that I am not the person you are looking for. β
The Commander angrily pushed the man away, then turned his gaze back to the woman. The woman was obviously a little frightened when he looked at her like this.
At this time, the man hurriedly said: "My lord, she is my inner person, and she will never be the person you are looking for!"
The commander said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you will only know when you see it!" and walked towards the woman.
"Wait!", just then, a voice came from not far away. When the figure of that person gradually became clear, I realized that it was the middle-aged man known as Special Envoy Yin.
The middle-aged man said: "None of them are the people we are looking for, so there is no need to embarrass them." The couple was let go and left in a hurry.
The commander said: "Didn't the envoy say that they were going to the capital? If you want to go to the capital, you must go through this gate, but we have not found any trace of them all the way!"
The middle-aged man said: "They are estimated to have left the city a long time ago, how can they wait for you to arrest them!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to go outside the city, and the commander immediately stopped him and said, "Envoy Yin, where are you going?"
Special Envoy Yin said: "Luoyang! It's useless to stay here!" After speaking, he left without looking back.
The commander didn't know what to do for a while, he didn't want to stay, he didn't want to stay, he had to be stunned and watch the envoy gradually disappear into the darkness.
At this time, one of the commander's entourage walked up to him and said, "Commander, do you think that today's envoy seems to be a little different?"
The Commander asked, "What's the difference?"
The attendant said, "I can't tell, I always feel that something is wrong." Also, who is the envoy with him? I don't think I've ever seen it before. β
The commander thought for a moment and said, "You really feel a little wrong when you say that!", but immediately gave up and continued to think about it, and said, "No matter, it's okay to go, I don't want to serve yet!"
After that, the Commander wanted to go back with a group of men. And just then, he saw another person. When I saw this man, I almost didn't let his lower bar fall. Because this person is none other than the envoy Yin who just left the city!
The commander asked, "Envoy Yin, didn't you already leave the city just now, why did you appear here again?", and his face showed great surprise as he said this.
Special Envoy Yin just said coldly: "That person is Long Shaotian!"
This time it made the ruler's jaw drop completely!
What the hell is going on? It turned out that Long Shaotian had been thinking of a way out of the city since he entered the city. According to his speculation, since the middle-aged man let them into the city, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to go out again, and he will definitely send people to guard the city gates. So after entering the inn, Long Shaotian immediately disguised himself as the middle-aged man. Because Long Shaotian had carefully looked at this person before, it was not difficult for a person like him with no characteristics to pretend to be, and Long Shaotian felt that this person should have a high status, so it might be more convenient to act as him. When the commander brought people to search, Long Shaotian and Linghua hid on the roof, and returned to the room after those people left. At this time, the middle-aged man was still in the inn. Long Shaotian made some movement in the room and lured him up. When the middle-aged man suddenly saw his other self, he would inevitably be a little shocked, and at this moment of shock, Long Shaotian had already frozen him. Of course, Long Shaotian didn't expect it to be so smooth, he originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to restrain this middle-aged man. But this time he learned a lot, learned the lessons of the first two times, he sealed the acupoints of the middle-aged man's body, and then ran to the city gate with Linghua.
The commander stood there stupidly for a long time before he suddenly reacted and said, "Then should we chase it now?"
Envoy Yin said: "No need, they can't escape!" However, since then, Long Shaotian and Linghua have lost their traces.
