Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 162
After nightfall, snowflakes floated in the sky again.

Fu Mingjue stopped at the entrance of the alley on his horse, and walked into the quiet alley alone.

An Xinghua Lane separated thousands of bustling streets, only the courtyard door at the end was open, and the pair of dimly lit lanterns under the eaves were crumbling in the cold wind, and the dim yellow light fell on the snow in the corner, illuminating The two bodies buried in the snow were illuminated.

The two were dressed in bluish-gray cloth clothes, and they were ordinary merchants' attire. At first glance, they were no different from the people of Dayan, but when you looked closely, you would find that their eyebrows and eyes were a little sharper than those of the people of Dayan.

This is the Beidi people lurking in the capital.

Fu Mingjue looked indifferent, and slowly squatted down to check the knife wound on the neck of one of them.

The cut was deep, almost killing him with one blow. The wound was light on both sides and heavy in the middle. It was not like an ordinary sword, but more like a crescent moon knife unique to the northern border.

From this point of view, the murderer is very likely to be one of their own, probably knowing that they have been discovered, so they simply silenced him without doing anything.

Fu Mingjue withdrew his hand, and when he was deep in thought, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the alley——

"My lord."

The visitor is Jiangzhou.

Fu Mingjue turned his back to him, did not get up, and asked again: "Well, what's the matter?"

Jiang Zhou wore a black suit with a long knife hanging from his waist. His appearance was five points similar to that of Jiang Liu. He reported truthfully: "They are very sharp. When their subordinates led people to chase after them, they had already left the building empty, and no one was left behind." A trace."

"Can you confirm who it is?"

"Not for the time being," Jiang Zhou paused, and continued, "According to the current information, the second prince of Beidi doesn't seem to be among them."

Hearing this, Fu Mingjue didn't react. He only carefully looked at the already stiff corpse, and suddenly his eyes stopped, and he reached out to touch the cold and rough face of the corpse.

Jiang Zhou stood behind, watching his series of actions, and couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, what did you find?"

Fu Mingjue suddenly asked inexplicably, "Have you ever heard of the art of disguise?"

"Transfiguration?" Jiang Zhou was slightly startled, "I have heard of it before, but this kind of skill has long been lost, so how could it be?"

"Lost legends are just records in books. Things in the world are unpredictable, so how can there be an accurate account of everything?"

As he spoke, Fu Mingjue pushed aside the curly side of his temples, hooked his fingertips, and under Jiang Zhou's shocked gaze, he took off the human skin mask that was attached to the corpse's face intact.

"This is actually true!"

The art of disguise is just a rumor, and now seeing the method of completely changing one's appearance into another person with one's own eyes is really shocking.

After the human skin mask was removed, the corpse finally revealed its original appearance——

In the past, if he was not much different from the people of Dayan, but now he can be seen at a glance that he is from Beidi.

Fu Mingjue held the human skin mask carefully, and said: "It seems that they have made sufficient preparations for entering Beijing this time."

The traces of Beidi people can be found today, probably because they are too confident in themselves.

This kind of self-confidence is not arrogance, but a complete certainty that they will not be discovered. In other words, they firmly believe that with their disguise, they will never be recognized by others, so they dare to do this Like blatantly wandering on the street, and even went to Yuliu Street.

"My lord, since they know how to disguise themselves, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to find them?"

Fu Mingjue took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wrapped the human skin mask, and said, "It's really difficult to find Yuan Yuxuan just by appearance."

Bei Di had sneaked into the capital for dozens of days, but these days he had not exposed his traces, but today, people accidentally found his feet. What happened in it makes people curious.

"But at least what is certain now is that Yuan Yuxuan is in the capital."

The wind was cold and the snow fell silently.In the distance, the lights were dim, and there were music and music everywhere, but this other courtyard was terribly silent in the snowy night.

Fu Mingjue handed the removed human skin mask to Jiang Zhou, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

Jiang Zhou put away his things and asked, "My lord, since Prince Beidi is in the capital, should we seal off the city and catch the turtle in one hand?"

Beidi lied about his itinerary, saying he was in Tongzhou, but the second prince had already entered the capital.

"Catching a turtle in a urn is very boring." A smile flashed in Fu Mingjue's dark eyes, "It's interesting to lure a snake out of its hole."

Instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to wait for them to throw themselves into the trap. He wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Beidi's gourd this time.

The capital city in the snow is always a little more peaceful than before. At this moment, just after Xu Shi, the shops on the street are closing one after another, and Yuliu Street has just unveiled the mysterious veil of night.

The lights are flourishing like a brocade, the music is floating in the quiet snowy night, and the girls' laughter like silver bells can be heard from time to time in the red building.

A group of people wrapped in cloaks surged with the crowd. Although there were smiles on their faces, there was no smile in their eyes.

The two of them were side by side, one on the left and one on the right, and they seemed to have a very good relationship, but only they knew that if they didn't go back quickly, his hand would be useless.

Fortunately, there were many people in Yuliu Street, and no one noticed the abnormality of these people. Just like that, they walked into a brothel in a big way.

The big man walked in front, proudly took out a bag of silver and threw it to the old bustard, saying: "It's better to ask Ruyue to come over, remember not to let anyone disturb you."

His voice was rough and powerful, with a touch of Beijing accent, he sounded a bit like someone from the capital.

The old bustard was holding the heavy silver, and his face was full of smiles, "Hey, good! I promise I won't let anyone disturb you!"

The man sneered, ignored her, and walked in with ease.

When they arrived at the quiet backyard, the smiles on their faces suddenly faded.

"Damn! Someone found out. Fortunately, we were prepared and almost ruined this plan." The big man cursed and pushed the door open.

The bearded man walking behind frowned and said, "Keep down, if His Highness finds out, you will suffer!"

The big man silently shut his mouth.

The other two helped the injured man into the room, and then lit a lamp to check the wound on his arm.

"Hey! Those bastards in Dayan, how can they be so ruthless?!"

"Fortunately, there is no poison on the knife, but the veins are broken, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry the knife in the future."

The drowsy man immediately struggled to sit up when he heard this, and said in disbelief, "What did you just say. I, I won't be able to lift a knife anymore?"

"It's just a possibility, don't move anymore, if it's a moment later, I'm afraid you won't even be able to connect your tendons!"

Hearing this, he really stopped moving.

Several other people sat around the table, all of them looked serious. After a long silence, one of them asked, "When will His Highness come?"

"Hurry up, Your Highness said that he will definitely come to us tonight."

After speaking, the atmosphere fell into a dead silence again.
