Taiping Inn

At this time, the wind blew, and the spring wind was so strong that it was howling and sobbing.

Qin Daofang seemed to hear the sound of killing coming from a distance with the sound of the wind, and looked at the slightly gloomy sky outside the door: "You can't sit and wait for death, let alone watch them attack Langya Mansion, Meixi, you all What do you think? ”

"Ministry, if you want to defend, then stay in Xiyang County. If you want to attack, you must follow the plan." Chu Yunshen's eyes looked deep at Qin Daofang.

"How to use the trick?" Qin Daofang also looked at Chu Yunshen's eyes.

Chu Yunshen was silent for a moment and replied, "Then he would return to Langya Mansion City, use himself as bait, and then lure them out, and then take the action of catching turtles in the jar. It was just that this move was too risky and was not sure."

Chu Yunshen sighed and said, "The tribe is bound to the overall situation of Qizhou, and you should not take risks."

Qin Daofang sighed: "The Empress Dowager has already taken aback to me. If the situation in Qizhou changes, the Empress Dowager will take my position as governor."

Chu Yunshen was slightly stunned.

Qin Daofang whispered: "Meixi, you are looking at the overall situation in Qizhou, nothing wrong. But the situation in the court is even more undercurrents. Now the party and the imperial party have already set a gap. If I lost Langya at this time The people of the Hou Party immediately charged me with losing the city and land, and then took the opportunity to get rid of my governor of Qizhou. It was not that I was greedy for power, but that I worked hard for many years, and now I finally stabilized Qi. In the situation in the state, it will not be difficult to quell the Qingyang Sect Rebellion in Qizhou in time. I really don’t want to fail like Zhang Xiang back then.”

Chu Yunshen is also a wise man who will make mistakes. At this time, he heard Qin Daofang say that, but he still didn't understand: "Party disputes will ruin the country."

Qin Daofang said in a deep voice: "Whether it is for the overall situation of Qizhou or for me personally, we must protect Langya Prefecture City. As long as we protect the Governor's Headquarters and the small victory of Dongchang Prefecture, the people in the court will have nothing to say. . To put it further, this time it is best to have a decisive battle with Qingyang Sect. Only by fighting against external troubles will you save internal troubles. If you can achieve your contribution in one battle and wipe out the elite of Qingyang Sect, the next thing will be fine. Only after deployment, the situation of our Great Wei Dynasty will usher in a turning point."

Chu Yunshen exhaled a long breath of turbid air and said, "I understand, then I will continue to give orders now and prepare to set off and return to Langya Mansion City."

After Chu Yunshen left, only Qin Daofang, Li Xuandu and Bai Juan were left in the side hall.

Bai Juan, who had never spoken, said, "I'm going with my uncle."

His tone was very firm.

Qin Daofang was about to speak, but Li Xuandu interrupted him: "Ministry, Bai Juan often said that you treat her as a daughter, and her uncle is also a father. Now that his uncle is in danger, should he let his nephew sit still and ignore him? ? This is not the truth of Confucian sages."

Qin Daofang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Well, just go with me, but I have to ask for something about Zi Mansion."

Li Xuandu said, "Please speak with the ministry."

Qin Daofang glanced at Bai Juan and said, "Princess Mansion should take good care of my niece, so don't let her make any mistakes."

This sentence was a pun. Bai Juan was shy and turned her head slightly red, and said in a low voice, "I don't know who is looking after whom."

Li Xuandu didn't look frivolous and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, just do it."

Qin Daofang had a crutch horizontally on his wheelchair. He slowly stood up with the crutch, reached out and patted Li Xuandu on the shoulder, and then staggered towards the outside world.

Li Xuandu turned his head and saw that the back of the governor of Qizhou was a bit bleak and vicissitudes.

Shortly after Qin Daofang decided to return to Langya Prefecture City, a large group of people began to leave Xiyang County one after another and headed towards Langya Prefecture City so that the Qingyang Sect, who was hiding in the dark, would know that the Governor of Qizhou would return to the Governor's Headquarters immediately.

Li Xuandu and Bai Juan did not walk with Qin Daofang and others, but went to Langya Prefecture City first.

But shortly after he walked, with the cultivation level of the two, he found several suspicious and suspicious people hiding around the post road, as if they were spies from the Qingyang Sect.

When the sky got darker, the two of them came to a village next to the post road. Bai Juan said, "There are many ordinary people in the Qingyang Sect who have no cultivation. If these people are responsible for keeping a look, we are not Liuzhanmen. I think there is no way to distinguish the case handlers. If the traces are exposed, they may be alarmed. It is best not to let them know our traces. I think we should still modify them."

Li Xuandu nodded in agreement: "It is better to dress up as a farmer and woman, not eye-catching. But these disguise and modifications are a bit difficult to deal with."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Juan had already taken out two masks from his Sumeru treasure. Both were from the handwriting of Wenxiangtang. It was exquisite and detailed, lifelike, as thin as a cicada's wing, almost translucent, and covered with face. Whether it is pale or rosy, it can be revealed through the mask and will not appear stiff.

Bai Juan handed Li Xuandu a mask, and then put her own one skillfully. In the blink of an eye, she changed from an ordinary girl to an ugly girl. If she met at night, it would be hard to be afraid of others. .

Although Li Xuandu often uses pseudonyms, it is the first time he disguised himself. His technique is inevitably a little unfamiliar, so he just pasted his face.

Bai Juan sighed helplessly: "Stand up."

Li Xuan stood up immediately and handed the mask to Bai Juan in no time.

Bai Juan carefully covered the mask on his face, and then used his fingers to help him smooth out some of the tiny folds one by one.

The mask was very thin. Bai Juan's fingers stroked Li Xuandu's face, as if there was no obstruction. Li Xuandu only felt warm, soft, itchy, and a little cold.

After putting on the mask, Li Xuandu turned into a dull man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Li Xuandu reached out and touched his face, saying, "The disguise is done, and the only thing left is to change it. I don't have the clothes of a farmer."

Bai Juan pointed to the village not far from the two of them and said, "I'll borrow a few clothes. We'll pretend to be a pair of siblings later."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "We can't pretend to be siblings, we have to pretend to be husband and wife."

Bai Juan said angrily, "You're taking advantage of me again!"

Li Xuandu pointed at Bai Juan's face and said, "It's not my fault. Look at the mask you chose. You're afraid that others will look at you more. I'm afraid you'll scare people to death. How is it similar to my mask? If you say you're a brother and sister, someone has to believe it."

Bai Juan knew that she had misunderstood, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed to speak, and she floated directly to the village.

After a while, Bai Juan came back with two more pieces of clothing in her hands. In addition to the clothes, there was also a headscarf and shoes.

At this time, Li Xuandu was wearing square-toed boots, while Bai Juan was wearing round-toed embroidered shoes. The raised toes on the shoes could hold up the robe, so there was no need to worry about tripping. Common people were mainly dressed in shorts, but they did not have such concerns, so they mostly wore flat-toed cloth shoes.

If the two only changed clothes without changing shoes, they would be exposed immediately.

Li Xuandu took a look and said in surprise: "It's still clean? You must have been a bandit, right? How can you be so picky?"

"You are the bandit." Bai Juan spat: "Have you ever seen a bandit who specializes in stealing clothes from ordinary people?"

Then Bai Juan explained: "I passed by a house, and that family happened to be a young couple who had just got married. There was a "happiness" character on the window. They happened to hang these clothes in the yard, so I took them. But I also put a silver ingot on their windowsill, which is enough for their expenses for a year."

Li Xuandu took his share of clothes and said: "Thank you, Miss Qin, just I wonder where we should go to change clothes? "

Bai Juan said: "I have seen it when I came back. There is a land temple at the head of the village. Let's go there to change. I will change first. You are not allowed to peek!"

Li Xuandu said: "It's just changing outer clothes. You are still wearing inner clothes. You are wrapped tightly. What can you see?"

Bai Juan blushed and said: "Then you are not allowed to peek!"

Li Xuandu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, I will never peek, and I will help you keep watch."

The two came to the land temple. Bai Juan went in first, like a thief. After a while, she became an ugly village woman. Next was Li Xuandu, who became a dull farmer.

When the two left the village, Li Xuandu "borrowed" a donkey with two taels of silver, let Bai Juan sit on it with a small bag, and he led the donkey in front. The two looked like a couple going on a long journey.
