Chapter 447: Changing Faces
's from the anti-league organization!"Ripple immediately spoke.After hearing this, Rand waved his hand and retracted his fire-based ability. The big-faced man's arms had turned into charcoal and he wa...Because they did not travel with the main force, and were without the burden of others, Lian Yi's party reached Wujiang County that afternoon.
Wujang County was very large, encompassing three counties of Huaiyuan. At this time, the sun had not yet set, and there were many people coming and going. The hawkers and peddlers hurried past, and there were also many women with their heads uncovered and faces exposed.
"Aunt Zhen, this place is much bigger than the town under our Su Nü Palace! Let's stay here for two days!"
Ripple smiled and said.
"Just arrange these, as long as it doesn't delay the itinerary."
Wang Zhenzhen was not in a hurry to rush the road, but Wang Ya zu beside her was a little anxious. He whispered:
"Heroine, let's hurry! If father..."
"I understand, but the more this happens, the less you should rush. Even before when you were in a hurry and had guards around, you still got ambushed, didn't you"
You showed yourself in Huai'rou County, and were betrayed by your own classmates. The closer you get to Longxi, the more people will be waiting to assassinate you. You must be fully prepared, or else these people will ambush you when you least expect it. Then, with my fists alone, I won't be able to fight off all of them. How can I protect you
As soon as Wang Ya zu heard the ripples' words, he wilted. The other party was telling the truth and he couldn't refute it.
"So you're saying if I change clothes, none of them will recognize me Is that really true"
"There's no way that could be fake! I have to keep my reputation, and get that ten thousand gold reward!"
The ripples of his sworn promises eased Wang Yaizu's mood, and he then began to look around for a place to settle.
I just picked a random inn. This time, I booked two upstairs rooms. Ripples arranged for the staff to boil hot water, and after the three of us washed up individually, she let Wang Zhenzhen rest first while she took Wang Yaozhu out of the inn.
When the sun began to set, ripples carried a slender and beautiful dark-skinned girl into the inn. The girl was still looking around, apparently visiting such a place for the first time.
"Shopkeeper, please help me cancel one upper room."
The shopkeeper, who was busy calculating accounts, immediately put down his ledger and asked with a smile upon hearing Ripples' words:
"Sir, is there anything you are not satisfied with"
“That’s not the case. I opened two houses before because my driver was injured while protecting me. I wanted him to stay in a house and recuperate for a couple of days before going back on the road, but he felt that his injury was an unlucky omen, so he quit his job as a driver.”
"I can't force her, I just bought a maid temporarily. As long as she can take care of my wife, two rooms upstairs are unnecessary."
With a helpless expression, Lianyi spread his hands and explained.
"I see. However, it's already been half a day, what do you think"
"This is our problem, it has nothing to do with the inn, you shouldn't be deducting half a day's worth of room fees."
She's too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
"Thank you for your understanding! Tonight's meal is on us, would you like to tell us what you'd like to eat"
The shopkeeper was very capable and immediately offered some real benefits.
"Don't go to too much trouble in the evening, just three bowls of noodle soup is fine."
"Alright! Sir, please rest upstairs first. When the noodles are ready, I'll have the attendant bring them up to you."
The ripples nodded, and the rough-and-tumble maid followed them up to the second floor. The shopkeeper glanced at her unintentionally and discovered that this maid's feet were quite large and her shoulders were quite broad; at a glance, she looked stronger than an ordinary maidservant.
As soon as they entered the remaining upstairs room, Lianyi smiled and introduced Wang Zhenzhen to everyone.
"Madam Zhen, the coachman was frightened and injured himself, so he quit his job. I thought you couldn't be without someone to wait on you, so I bought a rough-and-tumble maid to do the heavy work."
After finishing, he beckoned to the somewhat coy girl.
"Greetings, Aunt. I come to pay respects to your esteemed wife, Madam Zhen."
The person called "Grandaunt," with a somewhat dark complexion, stepped forward and spoke.
"Mrs. Zhen, I'll have to trouble you again in the future."
When Lady Zhen heard this voice, she laughed and said:
"Isn't this Yaozu How did he become like this"
“Madam Zhen, it was Lian Yi Nüxia who said in order for me to completely disappear, she took me around outside, got me a human skin mask, and then made me dress as a woman. She said that this way, even my father wouldn't recognize me, and anyone who wanted to kill me definitely wouldn't be able to find me.”
"Well, who else could have made it"
Ripples first put gold on her own face, then turned to ask Auntie Zhen:
Before he opened his mouth, didn't the madam notice it either
"That's true, your disguise is very successful, but the moment you opened your mouth, it was obvious."
Wang Zhenzhen took a sip of tea and continued to ask.
This kind of disguise is child's play for martial artists, it just depends on the skill level of each individual, nothing special. But Ripple is clearly a high-level one.
"It's fine, I'll go fetch some medicine tomorrow and change his voice. As long as he speaks less and does more, he shouldn't be discovered."
Wang Yaizu was still a little uncomfortable, touching his cheek as he thought to himself that he had truly learned something this time. The sacrifice was too great, and unconsciously, he patted the steamed bun tucked in his chest, causing Lianyi to smile knowingly.
"First, adapt for two days. Once the voice-changing medicine is ready, we'll set off, guaranteed foolproof."
"I understand."
After resolving Wang Yaizu's problem, Lianyi asked about the group of children:
"I wonder where those kids ended up"
It should be these two days.
The five children, who had been on the minds of two people, were now picked up by those left behind at the foot of Sùnué Palace. In the dead of night, Sùyún went down the mountain specially to bring the five children back to Sùnué Palace.
After confirming Suoyun's identity, the boy at the front took off his close-fitting clothes and a letter, holding them both before him.
"Brother Suoyun, this is from Ripple the female hero. She told me to give this to you and said you'll understand when you see it. Inside are silver notes she earned back."
Su Yun took the letter and clothes, skimmed through it at a glance, then called over another junior sister to take care of the children. Afterward, she took the letter and silver note to see Su Gongzhu.
Qi Qi hurried, fast or slow, he still couldn't catch up with the ripples' line. However, he received news that they had been attacked, so he asked those around him to investigate who was responsible.
The next day, Qiqi received the three characters "Hai Zang Hong." He rummaged through his memory and immediately frowned:
"The grandson of the shipping master, what grudge does he have against Mrs. Zhen"
They had no quarrel with Mrs. Jane, it was with the driver they had a dispute. As for who this coachman was, I haven't found out yet.
Someone around immediately replied.
"Then go ask those around Hai Cang Hong."
"Yes."
The next day, Qiqi found out the coachman's identity. To her surprise, he was actually the second son of the Prince of Longxi.
"The message is accurate."
It was said by his attendants that his young master had met Wang Yaizu, the second son of the Wang family, at a鏢局 (protective escort agency) in Huaiyou County. The two had been at odds since their time at school, and it is estimated that this time he was preparing to take revenge.
"No, the conflicts in school wouldn't have pushed him to kill the other party. If I remember correctly, Wang Yaozu was ambushed on his way back to Longxi and then disappeared."fore speaking.This was rather unexpected of Ripples."Hello, I am Lieutenant Yunxiao, the person in charge of this mission.""Hello, I am Lieutenant He Lianyi.""I'm here to understand the details of you...
