Chapter 1165 Preventing Anyone From Sneaking Into the City
Qin Huaiyu didn't show up for the past two days. Only when Zhao Chen and others took turns delivering food to him could they see his condition.
Although the spirit is a little low, the overall situation is not bad.
After getting Zhao Chen's plan to sneak into Chang'an, Qin Huaiyu took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in this operation.
In his words, seize the time to resolve the matter in Chang'an.
His father Qin Qiong’s coffin was buried underground as soon as possible, and he was laid to rest.
After that, Qin Huaiyu had to rush to the front line to kill Huizhen and avenge his father Qin Qiong.
The heavy snow melted, and the villagers in the village knew that Zhao Chen was back and came to visit one after another.
Although there was little news in the village, many people heard the news about Zhao Chen's death on Chang'an Street.
Seeing Zhao Chen again at this moment, apart from the surprise, there was only one surprise left.
The villagers all wanted to invite Zhao Chen and his wife to their home, but Zhao Chen refused.
At this moment, they don't have time to visit the folks' homes. The most important thing right now is to get to Chang'an City.
Otherwise, the next time Li Tai leaves the palace, he may not be able to catch up.
The distance from Chang'an to the village is neither far nor close.
Heavy snow prevented people from entering the city a few days ago. Today the snow melts, and a large number of people must enter the city.
This is definitely an opportunity for Zhao Chen and the others.
"Zhao Da, are we going into the city like this?" Cheng Chumo tugged at the beard on his face.
Entering the city like this, he would probably be caught by Li Tai before he even got close to the city gate.
Cheng Chumo was not afraid of death, but he couldn't throw himself into a trap so openly.
"Of course I won't go in like this. Ruoshuang, go and share the masks you prepared for the past two days with them." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
Li Ruoshuang walked into the inner courtyard and brought out a black cloth bag.
"What mask?" Li Ke was a little curious.
Que saw Li Ruoshuang opening the black cloth bag and seeing the
What was in front of him turned out to be several human skin masks.
"Human skin mask?" Fang Yizhi's expression changed at that time.
Cheng Chumo also twitched the corners of his mouth and subconsciously touched his face.
Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything. He picked up a mask and put it on his face.
"It's not human skin, it's made of pig skin." Zhao Chen just said, then took a mask and put it on his face.
After tidying up a little, Zhao Chen's face instantly turned into that of a middle-aged greasy uncle.
"Bah, it's ugly!" Li Ruoshuang muttered softly.
He also put a mask on his face.
The originally alluring woman now became extremely ordinary, even though her figure was still extremely graceful.
"It's cold outside, wear more clothes." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
Li Ruoshuang rolled her eyes at Zhao Chen and turned to leave.
"Hey Zhao Da, your mask is really made of pigskin." Cheng Chumo held the bronze mirror, looked at his new face, and marveled.
In the bronze mirror, Cheng Chumo had a fat head and big ears, and the flesh on his chin even covered his neck.
A mask fit perfectly on Cheng Chumo's face. Except for those eyes, Cheng Chumo's original appearance was no longer visible.
Li Ke also put on a mask, looking like a young boy.
Several people looked at their new appearance in the bronze mirror, feeling amazed in their hearts.
They have also seen the world. Craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have made masks like this before, but they have never been so lifelike.
Moreover, the ones made by the Ministry of Industry are actually made of human skin.
Not to mention carrying it, even holding it makes me feel scared.
"Yes, after the pigs were slaughtered in the village, the villagers
None of us wanted pig skin, so we boiled the pig skin into glue and made several pig skin masks. "
"It's been sitting here for a while, but I didn't expect it to be used." Zhao Chen explained to a few people.
Li Ke nodded, but Cheng Chumo said: "Zhao Da, please pass this skill on to me, so that I won't be afraid to go out if I offend other girls in the future."
"You didn't know before that I was in Chang'an..."
"Cheng Chumo, don't think that because you have a good relationship with my husband, you can do whatever you want in Chang'an. If I hear you bullying a good girl in Chang'an again, I will definitely beat you to death." Li Ruoshuang changed into coarse clothes and left. come out. ??
Hearing Cheng Chumo's thoughts, he shouted coldly.
When she, Li Ruoshuang, and Zhao Chen met for the first time, weren't they chasing two dandies, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu?
Although he and Zhao Chen eventually came to an end, Cheng Chumo's thoughts must not be tolerated.
Being scolded by Li Ruoshuang, Cheng Chumo didn't dare to talk back.
If this was Zhao Chen, if Cheng Chumo dared to refute a few words about him, everyone would treat it as a joke.
But Li Ruoshuang...
Hey, the princess from now on is a bit fierce.
"Qin San, if Zhao Da becomes the crown prince, we will have hard times. Look at this crown princess, she is so fierce." Cheng Chumo pursed his lips and said to the person behind him.
"Ahem, I'm Li Ke, Lao Qin is there." Li Ke turned Cheng Chumo's head to the other side and said.
But Qin Huaiyu smiled and shook his head.
…
Warm sunshine penetrates the clouds and shines on the streets of Chang'an.
At the gate of Chang'an City, people waiting to enter the city stretched for miles.
Changsun Wuji came to Chang'an City Gate today and was responsible for supervising the inspection work of the city gate guards.
"Master Zhangsun, how can I help you personally?"
Come here, as long as your subordinates are here. "The city gate guard stood beside Changsun Wuji and nodded.
Changsun Wuji sat on the bench with a table in front of him.
There is only a teapot and a cup on the table.
The faint smoke steamed upwards.
Changsun Wuji glanced at the people queuing up and said, "The prince has an order to check carefully to see if there are any treacherous people sneaking into Chang'an City."
"Zhao Chen colluded with Hou Junji, causing His Majesty to be injured on the front line."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to poison Zhao Chen in order to avenge His Majesty."
"But I didn't expect that Zhao Chen escaped by chance. Now the investigation is because he is worried that a large number of his remnants will sneak into the city and bring trouble to the people in the city."
"I am sitting here, and I hope you can take this matter seriously."
The generals who defended the city nodded frequently.
He doesn't care what the reason is for questioning here, he will listen to whoever wants him to be promoted and make a fortune.
"Don't worry, sir. With my subordinates here, we won't let suspicious people sneak into the city." The guard smiled flatteringly.
"Everyone is paying attention. You must be careful and don't let suspicious people sneak into the city."
"Otherwise, if His Highness the Crown Prince pursues the case, no one will be able to reap the rewards."
"There are also those of you who enter the city. If anyone dares to shield a suspicious person from entering the city, the whole family will be killed and executed." The general who defended the city straightened his back and shouted loudly to the soldiers who were interrogating him and the people who were being interrogated.
Everyone's expressions changed, and the soldiers guarding the city cheered up.
You even have to look under the frame of the carriage to check.
The swill buckets that came out of the city were also poked with spears.
"By the way, tell them that every citizen who enters the city must rub his face to prevent anyone wearing a human skin mask from sneaking into the city." Changsun Wuji sat by the city gate and talked with the generals who defended the city. said.
