082 Stay around
You're awake." Xue Xijian woke up and looked at her gently.
"Brother Xue, I have thought about it. We didn't let Shangguanmo's people see our appearance clearly yesterday. Today, you can figure out of the city after pretending. Murong Xueyan deliberately avoided his eyes and looked elsewhere.
"Go and change your men's clothing, and I'll re-examine how to dress up." Xue Xijian said, and thoughtfully went out by himself and closed the door.
Murong Xueyan removed the coat, changed a set of men's clothes, re-tied her hair into a men's hairstyle, and then covered the scar on her forehead with a special foundation she bought in Eastern Wei and went out.
After changing into men's clothing, he went out of the room. As soon as Xue Xijian saw her appearance, he smiled and said, "If you are a man, I don't know how many women will be fascinated."
"To each other." Murong Xueyan opened the folding fan and covered a wisp of smile on her lips.
After a while, she said again, "Brother Xue, you have a fake beard on your face. There is a fake beard I bought last time in the drawer in the room. Just stick it on.
"Good." Xue Xijian agreed, and his eyes stopped on Murong Xueyan, and he couldn't help but be moved. Meeting her is simply a gift from God to him! When he lost everything and turned from sitting high and holding everything to nothing, he suddenly had her beside him. The wind and rain are in the same boat, life and death. It is his blessing to have such a confidant.
After Xue Xijian disguised himself, he looked at his appearance from the mirror. He simply pasted a fake beard and painted his originally white face yellow with a foundation of Murong Xueyan, which completely turned him into another person. Even if he looked in the mirror, he could not recognize himself. Then, he changed the old clothes that was stained with blood during the fight, put on a set of coarse clothes again, and put Wen Yincheng's handwritten letter into the sleeve pocket of his clothes. For the sake of safety, he took his changed clothes outside, lit a fire by the stream, and watched the clothes burn into ashes with his own eyes.
After everything was ready, the two went back to the city and bought two more horses.
After last night's incident, the city was more heavily guarded. There were patrol officers and soldiers everywhere. Some tea houses, restaurants, and even Buzhuang and rouge gouache shops were vigorously searched and arrested.
Murong Xueyan and Xue Xijian walked openly on the street and missed it with a team of officers and soldiers from time to time.
In the past, she asked Guo Wuhen about the method of transfigurement just for fun. I never thought that today, in this unfamiliar Western Song Dynasty, she only knew a little about the transfigation technique of skin and came in handy.
After walking the whole street, they didn't find any notices wanted for them. You know, the six people who saw them last night have all died, and Shangguan Susu, who is alive, will not betray them. Although Shangguan Mo was eager to find out the person who couldn't be found and killed in the prime minister's mansion yesterday, there is no other way but to order the lockdown of the city and vigorously search for him.
The two walked to a secluded alley. Murong Xueyan said, "Brother Xue, what code do you have to contact the eyeliner you put next to Shangguanmo?"
"If it hadn't been for your reminder, I would have almost forgotten about it!" Xue Xijian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"What does he do around Shangguanmo?" Murong Xueyan asked.
"Do you remember the group of guards who searched for the party in Chaliao the other day?" Xue Xijian suddenly asked.
"It won't be the powerful little leader, is it?" Murong Xueyan frowned.
"It's not him, but the little soldier who later reminded the boss of Chaliao to pay the money." Xue Xi's swordsmanship.
Murong Xueyan couldn't help saying strangely, "Why is the person you put in just a soldier?"
"He is just a gatekeeper in Shangguanmo's house. But there is nothing he should know that he doesn't know. Xue Xi's swordsmanship.
"So, he has a good relationship with those ' superiors'?" Murong Xueyan said with a smile.
"It should be able to meet the source left and right." Xue Xijian said, but he kept walking under his feet. He walked into a shop selling fireworks and firecrackers and bought a kind of fireworks in it.
Xue Xijian took Murong Xueyan to the roof of a high-rise building in the city, and then set off that kind of fireworks.
The fireworks flew into the air with a strange sound. Even near noon, it was very eye-catching. Xue Xijian waited upstairs. Murong Xueyan knew that the fireworks should be the signal for him to contact the eyeliner, and this building should be the "old place" where they meet.
After waiting for a long time, I saw a person slowly coming up. The man walked smoothly and carefully. His appearance was ordinary, which was the kind that would never be eye-catching. - Therefore, Murong Xueyan had seen him the other day and didn't remember his appearance.
When the man saw Xue Xijian, he said in scongrinedly, "You..."
"Yes." Xue Xijian nodded.
"Master, it turns out that you are still alive!" The man took a step forward excitedly and knelt down on his knees.
"Get up and talk." Xue Xijian said, "I'm going out of the city now to meet Commander Lan, who caused trouble in Yinshan. It's just that if I go out of the city, I will definitely startle the old official thief.
"Master, you might as well take advantage of the old thief's daughter."
He has to take advantage of the kind-natured Shangguan Susu... Murong Xueyan stuck out her tongue and didn't think so. But this is a very special time, and they have no other way to think of using her.

City gate.
Princess Shangyang's carriage stopped and was stopped by the gatekeeper without exception.
"Princess, the prince has an order to block the gate for three days."
"Bold, can you stop the princess's sedan chair?" A maid poked her head out of the carriage and reprimanded.
"I hope you can forgive me for the duty of the villain." The young man lowered his head, but his tone was firm without changing at all.
Shangguan Susu lifted the corner of the curtain of the sedan chair, stretched out a wrist, and shook a token in her hand in front of the young general. She, who had always been weak, also increased her voice and scolded angrily, "I have a token in my hand. How dare you stop it?"
Token? ..." The young general didn't even see Shangguan Susu's appearance too clearly, let alone the token in her hand, so he said timidly, "Princess, the little man didn't see clearly what token you were holding?"
"Bold, you mean, you even dare to doubt the princess?" The maid said in a shrill voice, "If the princess goes back and reports to the prince, he promises that you will go home to farm tomorrow!" You are a gatekeeper. Is your power as great as that of a princess?
"The villain... the villain dares." The young general grined and removed the long gun in his hand.
"If you don't dare, get out of the way as soon as possible!" After saying that, the maid ignored it. She turned around and said to the driver, "Lao Xue, let's go!"
"Good!" The driver with a beard and a bucket hat on his head almost covered his face with a smile in his eyes. With a whip, the horse ran wildly, and the carriage quickly rushed out of the city. When the young general reacted and chased up, how could he catch up?
It was not until he was sure that no one was chasing him, that the "cuffurer" stopped the horse and lifted the hat on his head.
"Brother Xue, is it safe here?" Murong Xueyan, dressed in a maid costume in the carriage, lifted the curtain and jumped off the horse.
"There is no pursuers. What's more, they reported the matter to Shangguan Lao..." Suddenly, they thought that this escape was all up to Shangguan Susu, and the word "thief" that was about to blurt out was swallowed back. "They can't make a final determination after they report the matter, and naturally they can't catch up with us."
"That's good." Murong Xueyan smiled at ease, turned around, and personally helped Shangguan Susu down on the carriage.
"Thank you, Miss Shangguan." Xue Xijian bowed to Shangguan Susu and said, "The two life-saving graces, Xue has no teeth and unforgettable."
Murong Xueyan looked at this scene and sighed for no reason. The grace of saving life, Shangguan Susu to Xue Xijian is more than the grace of saving life. In order to help him, she even disobeyed her father! If it hadn't been for her affection for him and her weak boudoir, how could she have the courage to compete with her father! Unfortunately, there is no end between them. If Xue Xijian takes back his own throne, he will inevitably make Shangguan Mo pay for his blood; and if he is defeated, Shangguan Mo will definitely not let him go for his daughter... The man he fell in love with has an irreconcilable feud with his father. If one day, Shangguan Susu was forced by fate and sandwiched between these two. In a dilemma, Murong Xueyan can meet, and what kind of ending will she face...
"It's not far from the city gate. I'll just go back by myself. Your Highness, take good care of yourself. Shangguan Su seemed to be reluctant to give up in his eyes. He looked at Murong Xueyan and said, "This girl, please... please take good care of your Highness."
Look at Shangguan Susu, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. She should be just the beginning of love. Such a woman raised in a boudoir is doomed to be hurt by love. Murong Xueyan couldn't help sympathizing with her.
"Miss Susu, don't worry, I am friends with Your Highness, and I will naturally take good care of him." Murong Xueyan said. This explanation not only relieved Shangguan Susu, but also made Shangguan Susu understand her and Xue Xijian, so that she would not feel self-pity and hurt herself because of misunderstanding or jealousy.
Murong Xueyan only cared about herself, but she never thought that this sentence hurt Xue Xijian. During this period of time, his feelings for her have changed subtly.
If, at the first meeting four years ago, he admired and fell infatuated with her at first sight; then four years later, he fell in love with her for a long time after life and death. It took him four years to forget her, but fate pushed her to him again.
This time, he told himself that if one day he regained everything that belonged to him, he must catch her and keep her by his side.
Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan rode together and rushed to the Yinshan Mountain as fast as possible.
