Chapter 380

Huangtu City is a traffic fortress, there are a lot of businessmen coming and going to rest, there are many new gadgets, including the mirror in front of it, which is much clearer than the bronze mirror.

Su Rongan raised his hand to touch his face, and saw that the uncle in the mirror followed the same action, and was very surprised. He had actually changed his appearance before, but basically it was done simply by fiddle with it, or make a leather mask .

But now Jiu'er made it for him. Not only does it not have a human skin mask, but there is basically no foreign body sensation on his face.

In the mirror, he turned into an uncle about 30 years old. His face was very rough due to the erosion of wind and sand all year round. The whole person looked very rough. Even the details of his hands were well done. The clues were discovered.

"Jiu'er, you are really amazing!"

Su Rongan praised.

His appearance is almost the same as the Dongmeng man who was watching on the street before.

"That is."

This is the magic weapon for her to walk in the rivers and lakes. Besides, Su Rongan didn't recognize herself when she changed her appearance. Of course, Su Jiu suspected that even if she was not easy to tolerate, Su Rongan might not be able to bear herself.

Su Jiu dipped some water in a cloth and wiped her hands, but the water here was too precious, so it was a luxury to buy a basin of water for washing hands.

Su Rongan admired his own appearance in the mirror for a while, saw Su Jiu's movements through the mirror, and also saw Su Jiu's wrists rolling up his sleeves.

I saw a silver bracelet on Su Jiu's wrist.

It's not that Su Rongan is so careful, it's entirely because the impression Su Jiu left on him in the group arena was too deep.

At that time Su Jiu didn't wear any jewelry at all.

Now suddenly there is a big silver bracelet, isn't it very conspicuous.

What's more, this bracelet is of mediocre workmanship at first glance, and it doesn't look like it was made by a master in the palace. The emperor would definitely not give such a rough thing to Jiu'er. For a while, Su Rongan asked curiously: "Jiu'er, your bracelet Where did it come from? It looks... very simple and chic."

Su Jiu paused while wiping her hands, then lowered her eyes, "A gift from a friend."

"Oh."

Su Rongan was keenly aware of Su Jiu's depression, so she tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

"Then I'll go back to the house first, and you can sleep a little longer tomorrow."

"it is good."

As the door was closed, Su Jiu came back to her senses, put down the towel, and sat down at the table, with her almond eyes drooping and the candle flickering, making it impossible to see her expression at this time.

The fingertips rubbed the silver bracelet unconsciously.

This silver bracelet doesn't look exquisite, it can even be described as rough, but the surroundings are well polished by the creators, so there is no need to worry about the edge of the bracelet being worn out.

Back then, brother Jingyi gave her this bracelet. The bracelet does not have a fixed ring, but has a buckle, so even now that she has grown up, she can still wear it. Maybe she has thought of it when she made this bracelet , he will not be able to accompany her in the future, so he wants this bracelet to accompany her.

There are also several notches on the inside of the bracelet, which is a word of Jing.

After receiving the gift, Su Jiu put it on, and then she found that the little gray ball that had been motionless after leaving Penglai suddenly moved.

There is also a small bell connected to the end of the bracelet, but for some reason, there is nothing inside the bell, so it doesn't ring when it shakes, but the little gray ball has to use this bell as a habitat, and occasionally follows it When it moves, the bell will make several sounds.

On her birthday that year, her father, mother, brother and sister all gave her gifts, most of which were only suitable for her age, because in their hearts, they would spend their birthdays with them every year, and only brother Jingyi prepared this.

Later, the palace caught fire, and she fell into a coma. Ten years later, she finally received this belated birthday gift from Zhao Baona.

Su Jiu suddenly felt a sense of fate that she didn't know how to describe, as if it was arranged like this somewhere in the dark.

This sudden depression didn't last long, Su Jiu quickly adjusted, tidied up briefly, and fell asleep.

A good night's dream.

Su Jiu was woken up by knocking on the door.

"Jiuer!"

There was a strange and rough voice at the door, and Su Jiu knew it was Su Rongan as soon as he heard it. After going back last night, Su Rongan felt more and more that his own voice was not worthy of this vicissitudes of appearance, so he learned to speak in a low voice. After a night of practice, he finally got some feeling. Not only was he not sleepy all night, but he was also very energetic. He went out early in the morning, asked Xiao Er, and went straight to the trading street.

An ox cart was quickly hired.

You must know that although there are many cattle and sheep in Eastern Mongolia, there are still few horse-drawn carriages. In a sense, horse-drawn carriages are actually more like a symbol of power. Generally, only gentry or officials will choose horse-drawn carriages to travel, and ordinary people prefer cattle. car or your own two legs.

The two of them wanted to keep a low profile, so naturally they wouldn't be so ostentatious, and the bullock cart was the best choice.

The coachman was also found in the market, about 50 to [-] years old, he looked honest and honest, and was also very talkative, probably because he often traveled with others and knew a lot.

After finishing their breakfast and rearranging their luggage, the two got on the bullock cart.

Bullock carts are no better than horse-drawn carts. Generally speaking, bullock carts don't even have shelters. After all, it costs a lot of money to build a shelf. Su Rongan tried his best to choose the best one, so that there is no shelter.

The bullock cart is only a little faster than walking, and the smell is not too good, but it is the best that Su Rongan can find. The cowman's name is Martin, and he can just ask the two to call him old horse.

"Now Wangcheng is very strict. I don't know what happened. It makes people panic. Our Huangtu City is better. There are many vendors coming and going, so it's lively and relaxed!"

Su Rongan and Su Jiu looked at each other.

Su Rongjian asked in surprise: "Is Wangcheng always so strict? What should we do? Our relatives and sisters marry far away, and our brothers and sisters have finally earned enough money to pay a visit. We won't be kicked out, right?"

"That won't..."

The old horse lowered his voice, obviously there was no one around, so he just created an atmosphere of whispering, "I tell you, don't tell others."

"You say what you say."

"I heard from a distant relative who was guarding the gate of the Wangcheng that something seemed to have happened in the Wangcheng. The people who need to be investigated are actually not outsiders, but people in the Wangcheng."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Su Rongan raised her eyebrows in doubt: "The people in the royal city? Who is it?"

"Then I don't know about this. They are all big shots, and none of my relatives know about it."

The old horse shook his head. This was beyond his cognition. In fact, he heard a lot of things from hearsay, and those who could ride in his bullock cart would not be so powerful. Naturally, he could bluff one by one. It is also impossible to go to other places to seek proof because of his bragging and exaggerated words.

But the guard guarding the royal city is real.

Therefore, the old horse decided to send the two of them to the gate of the city and then turned back. In case something happened accidentally, he might not be able to save his life. Gossip, several times narrow escape.

"Jiu'er, what they're looking for won't be..."

"Shh!"

Su Jiu pressed her fingertips against her lips, and made a gesture of silence, signaling to talk later.

Su Rongan shut up knowingly.

Although the speed of the bullock cart is not fast, but fortunately, it lasts for a long time. If it is not unbearable, it is not a problem to drive at night. However, since they have already arrived in the northwest, the two of them are not in such a hurry. At night, the three of them found a leeward A fire was built in the local area, and the special naan and meat sauce made by Huangtucheng were taken out, and then heated by the fire, it was much better than eating the naan dry, and the taste was also in the mouth.

The old horse is not very thoughtful. Being away all the year round has long given him the habit of falling asleep whenever and wherever he wants to. Even though it was too close to the fire, he lay down in a good place, and soon fell asleep, snoring like thunder.

After entering the Northwest, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. During the day, the sun is shining, and people have to shed a layer of skin, but at night, it is so cold that they even have to cover with a thin quilt, especially outdoors. As expected of a horse who has traveled the world for many years, this distance is just right.

After confirming that the old horse was really asleep, the two started talking in a low voice.

"Jiu'er, the one Ma Bairi said...couldn't be the fourth sister?"

Originally they only suspected that there was a change in the Wangcheng, but today they heard what Lao Ma said, and they were almost sure that the martial law in the Wangcheng could be brought about by some accidents.

"Probably not, I'm more inclined to be brother Xuanyuan." Su Jiu is very familiar with Yi Rong, and being able to search people in such a big way without posting portraits shows that the shape of the people to be searched is too prominent and different from ordinary people.

In my memory, Xuanyuan Che was more than eight feet tall at that time. After so many years, brother Xuanyuan might be even taller. Such a prominent height is very conspicuous even in Dongmeng. Obviously, brother Xuanyuan is not good at shrinking bones, so Things have happened for so long, and they still can't get out of the city to get out of trouble.

"Xuanyuan Che is just Xuanyuan Che..." Brother Xuanyuan, Jiu'er has never called him so affectionately.

Su Rongan was dissatisfied, and his tone was sour.

Su Jiu laughed, and tilted her head to look at Su Rongan, "Brother Six, are you jealous?"

"No, no!"

Su Rongan hopped to deny it, turned her head away, but turned to Su Jiu after a while, in disbelief, "Jiu, Jiu'er, what did you call me just now?"

"Sixth brother."

Su Jiu held back her laughter, met Su Rongan's shining eyes, and called out very cooperatively.

Su Rongan was a little flustered.

"It's actually good news."

Su Jiu fiddled with the fire with a wooden stick, stared at the burning flame, and said softly.

"good news?"

"Well, as long as people are alive, it's good news." As for the struggle for power, everyone depends on their own abilities. Presumably after this incident, Brother Xuanyuan will no longer be soft-hearted.

Su Jiu squinted her eyes slightly, but it was inevitable to be beaten up by the fourth sister.

The flames burned with a crackling sound.

Su Rongan looked at Su Jiu from the corner of her eye, slowly moved her body to her side, patted her shoulder, and said boldly: "Ji'er, you must be sleepy, you lean on my shoulder, it's warm! "

Su Jiu tilted her head, Su Rongan stared at the fire, not her.

Su Jiu was amused, didn't speak, but slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.

Su Rong'an immediately opened his mouth, smiling like a fool who weighs two hundred catties.

It usually takes about seven days from Huangtu City to Dongmengwangcheng. Fortunately, Lao Ma is away all year round and is familiar with all kinds of super shortcuts. He abruptly shortened the schedule to four days. The man rushed to stuff some money at the last moment before entering the royal city.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the royal city was really different. The gatekeepers strictly checked the people who went out of the city gate, but those who entered the city gate were very lax.

On the street, there were no vendors in the night market, which was supposed to be lively after dark, and even the inn was only half-opened, and only dared to light a candle.

Su Jiu noticed carefully that some of the vendors on this street had sharp eyes, they didn't look like ordinary people at all, they looked more like hidden guards or spies mixed in with ordinary people, it seems that the hidden stakes in the king's city really can't got engaged.

Just going out and not going in shows the self-confidence of the people in power, and it also shows that they have already arrested all the people in the royal city who might pass on the news, and they don't worry about the news leaking at all.

It's even... It's possible that the person who delivered the news was pretended by the man from Wang Cheng, in order to lure Fifth Brother into being fooled.

Su Jiu began to rejoice that she came back at this juncture, otherwise she didn't know how many people the fifth brother would have taken in.

As for the person who delivered the news, Su Jiu was not too worried. With the ability of the fifth brother, he would be able to tell the truth from the fake.

The two found a relatively low-key inn to stay in. Both their dress and accent were almost exactly the same as the people in the Eastern Mongolian King District. No one suspected it at all, and they opened a room to stay.

"Jiu'er, do we have to wait until late at night to go out and investigate?"

Su Rongan honestly hugged the quilt and spread it on the floor beside the bed, and asked softly.

"No, let's do some repairs today to recharge our spirits, and we'll go check around tomorrow." Su Jiu's voice was also very low.

"it is good."

The two of them took a rest after dinner.
