Chapter 93 Change of Appearance
Ning Tanger was helpless. Although she was extremely unwilling to get along with Lou Xun, Lou Xun had been waiting in Zhaoyi Palace. How could she resist the decree? On a cold night, Ning Tanger was still wearing a thin nightgown. She was only wrapped in a velvet brocade cloak outside. She couldn't help shrinking and wrapping the brocade wart tighter. The guards said that the assassin was coming at her, but she had just returned to the capital. Where did the enemy come from?
In terms of the assassin industry, in fact, the familiar and senior is still Lou Xun. However, after the success of the palace, Lou Xun became the emperor. He was afraid of being criticized. He secretly manipulated the dead guest organization and was worried about his own safety. Therefore, he compiled some of the dead guests into the newly formed inner guards, and the other part was scattered and hidden in all corners of the city. Ning Tanger, who was responsible for helping him monitor the suspicious words and deeds of the people and arrest the suspicious people, went to Zhaoyi Palace and doubted that tonight's play was Lou Xun's deliberately arranged a play, but if her guess was right, her situation would be in danger.
The lights in Zhaoyi Palace were bright. Ning Tanger stepped into the hall with the maid and suddenly felt warm. The first one sat on Lou Xun. After waiting for Ning Tanger to worship, he got up and said, "My concubine, please calm down quickly. Tonight, let my concubine is shocked. Come on, come and sit beside me. Let's wait for a moment. It is difficult for the assassin to fly. Tonight, I am willing to I'm sure I can get it right."
Ning Tanger saluted again and said, "Thank you, emperor, but I don't know why the assassin came to my concubine's Yaohua Hall. Fortunately, it is my concubine's Yaohua Hall. If it is the emperor's bedroom, it will be terrible!"
"Yes!" Lou Xun answered and greeted the man, "Go quickly and bring the midnight snack to the Empress, and let the Empress warm up!"
Several palace people should withdraw from the hall. Lou Xun then turned around and said to Ning Tanger, "My concubine, do you think tonight's assassin will be sent by the King of Wei?"
Ning Tanger was stunned. "The king of Wei knew the identity of the minister and concubine at the beginning, but he mainly believed that the minister's concubine was the meticulous work of Bei Rong. Therefore, although his men's mercy and spared the life of the minister and concubine, it was difficult for the minister and concubine to stay with him. Now that the concubine returned to the emperor, if the news was known by the king of Wei, it would not be ruled out that he would be annoyed. I'm ashamed and angry, and I want to put my concubine to death.
"Well, that's what I guess!" Lou Xun's eyes flashed with a gloom and cold color. Women are a disaster. That's right. Ning Tang'er is of no use to him now. If he is in peace because of Ning Tang'er, it's too worthless. But if the assassin's goal is really Ning Tang'er, he may be able to use Ning Tang'er as bait to make Wei Wang's potential eyeliner in the capital. It's all over the net.
However, Lou Xun thought for a moment and said, "Is there any other possibility besides Wei Wang, such as Bei Rong..."
Ning Tanger saw him as sure, "Didn't the emperor say that he had reached a deal with Bei Rong? Since the two sides are allies, why do they kill concubines?"
What I'm worried about is this. It is said that Wei Wang's army won a great victory in Youliangguan. Bei Rong will not be timid because of this. He turned his head and formed an alliance with Wei Wang, right? Lou Xun was very bored. Once Wei Jun and Bei Rong formed a ball, it would be difficult to eat Wei Jun again. Bei Rong people have always been capricious and have no credit to speak of. It is not impossible for them to get rid of Ning Tanger because of the tearing up the agreement. Alas, the situation is changing rapidly. The longer the stalemate between the parties, the more difficult it will be for him. Unbearable.
"Forget it, it's useless to guess here!" Lou Xun waved his sleeves sadly, "Let's wait until the assassin is caught!"
However, Lou Xun and Ning Tanger waited for more than an hour. The guard responsible for playing tricks on the assassin returned. They searched the Yaohua Hall and didn't even see the assassin's shadow. Lou Xun was furious and ordered the guards to continue to search. Even if they turned the palace upside down, they had to find the assassin. They tossed until dawn, but still got nothing. Ning Tang'er was already exhausted, so she advised Lou Xun, "It's been noisy all night. If it could be found early, 80% of the assassins would have escaped from the palace long ago, right?"
Lou Xun was so sad that he ordered the guards to collect the troops. At the same time, he ordered someone to send Ning Tanger back to the Yaohua Hall to rest. He sent a heavy guard post near the bedroom, so he rested at ease.
Ning Tanger returned to the Yaohua Hall and saw that the bodyguards who had been searched everywhere in the hall were messy. Several palace people were busy cleaning up. They couldn't help sighing and quickly turned back to her bedroom and washing. Because it was already dawn, even if she had to take a nap, she could not dress neatly. In case there was any accident, like at night. It seems that he ran out in a embarrassment, which made people laugh.
Just after untie the brocade, Ning Tanger still had time to order the palace man to get hot water. The palace man who had been following her turned his face but found that under Ning Tanger's bed, there was something exposed a corner. The palace man pulled out the corner. It turned out to be a snow-white sweat towel with purple magnolia embroidered on it. The palace man shouted strangely. "Oh, Madam, where did you get this sweat towel? It's really beautiful. Did you embroider it yourself?"
As soon as Ning Tanger saw it, her face suddenly changed and she said harshly, "Who let you be good at this palace? Put it down and get out of here!"
The palace people were shocked. They didn't understand why Ning Tanger suddenly turned her face. She had to put down the sweat towel and retreated tremblingly. Ning Tanger picked up the sweat towel on the bed and stared at the door of the house until she was sure that the palace people had left. Fang gently breathed a sigh of relief, folded the sweat towel carefully, and then looked around. Look, but I don't know where to hide.
"Alas, you said five years ago that when the magnolia flowers in the capital are in full bloom in spring, you will come to pick me up and take me to enjoy and play in the sea of flowers. But now the magnolia in the capital has bloomed year after year, but you and I are still separated by the world, in a hurry, and even have no time to talk about the past, and I am left alone. With this square sweat towel of silent missing, I'm used to just missing Wei'er, but I'm trapped in this terrible palace alone. I really don't know whether there is still life to survive the magnolia flowers tomorrow's spring!" Ning Tanger's nose was sore and she almost shed tears, but she seemed to remember something. She quickly forced her tears back and threw herself into the mirror. She carefully observed her face. While looking at it, she also stroked her cheeks with her hand and said to herself, "Formate, this human skin mask is very delicate, not only vivid. Xiao, it won't be deformed and cracked by people's joys and sorrows. It's really not easy for even Lou Xun to be deceived.
With a long sigh, Ning Tanger put the sweat towel into the bottom of the wardrobe, and then stayed alone for a while. Then she remembered to call in the palace man just now and let her wash herself.
Ning Tanger, who pretended to be afraid, was frightened in the palace, but Ning Tanger was not much better. She was locked in a dark room for several days in a row. No matter how she cried and scolded, there was no one except that someone regularly sent water and food from a small window every day. Reasoning.
Ning Tanger was extremely angry. Wei'er took her day and night, but the more she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. However, Wei'er comforted her that she would be brought to the Central Plains anyway. It would be useless. It's better to cooperate quietly and save more trouble.
Ning Tang'er was restrained and was unable to use her fists and feet. Seeing Wei'er's smile, there was the indifference she had never seen before, and she became more and more suspicious that Wei'er had bad intentions. She had to shut up and act according to fate. After walking for about three or four days, they seemed to have come to a military camp. Ning Tang'er saw from the window of the car, from afar, the barracks With the "Wu" flag floating in the sky, she understood a little in her heart that this fear was really hidden. She should have stayed in the Wei Palace longer than herself, but not only herself, but also the Wei Wang did not realize that the fear was actually the king of Wu.
The barracks was located in the valley, so it looked very close, but it circled on the mountain road for a long time. Then Wei Er stopped the carriage, took a black handkerchief, and said to Ning Tanger with a smile, "Madam, I'm going to wrong you. I'm afraid there are some things that are not easy for you to see. For your safety, just put up with it."
Ning Tanger snorted coldly and didn't say a word. Wei'er blindfolded Heipa and then continued to drive.
After walking for another period of time, Ning Tanger heard that the shouts from the armor training in the barracks were very close. The carriage stopped again. Ning Tanger could feel that Wei'er jumped off the carriage and went straight to the barracks. She didn't know what Wei'er said to the soldiers guarding the barracks. Soon a armor came and drove the carriage into the barracks. Ning Tanger thought that someone would soon pull her out of the carriage, but after the soldier stopped the carriage somewhere, it disappeared, and no one came for a long time.
The most terrible thing was that Ning Tanger faintly heard the sound of horses stepping on their hooves and smelled a smell. She suspected that she had been thrown away near the stable and no one was interested. This was too ridiculous. After walking for three or four days, Fear of forcibly abducted her to the barracks of the King of Wu just to throw her in the stable. Ning Tanger thought to herself. He and Wei'er don't have such a deep hatred.
Just waiting quietly and patiently, Ning Tanger was hungry and thirsty and finally fell asleep. She didn't know how long she had been confused. Finally, she heard a slight footsteps coming towards the carriage, and there was more than one person.
Following the curtain, the curtain seemed to be lifted, and a light stroked in front of Ning Tanger. Yes, it was light. Although the black pa blindfolded her eyes, because it was too long in the dark, she became particularly ** to the light. Someone was looking into the car. Ning Tanger estimated that it must be night at this time.
"Is that her?" A strange man's voice asked.
"Well, that's her!" The respondent is a fear.
"I want to look at her face carefully!" Men's way.
"This is easy to do!" Wei'er's voice sounded particularly cold to Ning Tanger. She was so bad that she just wanted to shout, "What are you doing!" But she didn't send a word. She just felt numb and completely unconscious.
When Ning Tanger woke up again, she found that she was still in the carriage, because only the carriage would be so bumpy, her body could not move, and the black handkerchief on her face was still still still removed. Ning Tanger took a deep breath of air with her nose, and the fresh breath of the unique vegetation in the mountains and forests made her I concluded that I was taken to nowhere again.
All the way next, Ning Tanger inferred that the driver was no longer afraid, because no matter what she asked, the other party did not say anything. Of course, the other party did not forget to feed her water and food, and it was forcibly stuffed into her mouth by the other party. It was a man. Although he did not have impatient with her, his fingers were clear bones. It is harder than a woman, and there is a strange faint fragrance on her fingers, which is neither smoked or bathed. It is likely to be exposed to a certain substance all year round, so it leaves a faint fragrance like medicine.
After walking for another two days, the driver didn't seem to have the habit of staying in the inn. Every time she slept in the wild. Ning Tanger huddled in the carriage and felt very cold, and she was worried about whether she would be violated by the other party at any time. Therefore, she was basically in a state of panic all night. A little movement made her to prick up her ears. Half a day.
What I was worried about didn't happen. The driver seemed to ignore Ning Tanger's existence. Two days later, the carriage finally arrived at its destination. Ning Tanger was dragged out of the car, untied her body, and removed the blindfold. She adapted for a long time before she saw that she was thrown into a small dark room. There is a table and a bed in the room, but there is no light.
