Detecting fragrance and ugly concubine

024: People can't be judged by their appearance

Zhenliang opened the bag, took out a set of men's clothes that had been prepared inside, quickly took off the women's clothes, and put on men's clothes.

Facing the bronze mirror, Zhenliang took off all kinds of jewelry on her head, then loosened her hair, tied a small braid loosely at the back, deliberately let the hair on both sides of her cheeks hang down, so as to more or less cover her Brown spots on the face.

Looking at the brand-new self in the bronze mirror, Zhenliang stuck out her tongue playfully. If she could ignore the brown spots on her face, she would be a handsome young man at the moment. I feel more like a handsome young knight.

Her brown spots are not only distributed on both sides of the cheeks near the ears, but occupy the entire cheeks, so even if covered by loose hair, others can still see her general ugly appearance at a glance under the night light.

Zhenliang is not worried about her inferiority and sadness caused by others seeing her ugliness, but worried that her ugliness is too distinctive. When the time comes, Aunt Zhen and the others will catch anyone and ask her, and they will quickly grasp her traces, so, She had to keep her face covered.

Picking up the white gauze mask she used to cover her face during the day and putting it on, she looked at the bronze mirror, and Zhen Liang shook her head helplessly. She is now wearing men's clothes, how could she wear a woman's white gauze mask to show others?Isn't this place without 300 taels of silver, telling others that she is a woman disguised as a man?Even if no one can guess that she is a woman, a man wearing a woman's veil can easily attract others' attention, which is definitely not a good thing.

Taking off the white gauze mask, Masuzu took out a piece of black cloth from the baggage, folded it into a triangle shape and covered it over her face. This time, although her overall image looked like a man, she looked like a kind of black cloth that is specially designed to hide in the dark. She is a bad person who has done bad things. With this image, others will probably treat her as a bad person. Maybe the real aunt and the others have already arrested her and sent her to prison before they catch her.

Tapping her head lightly, Zhenliang thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea. She unfolded the black cloth in her hand, folded it into a circle shape, and tied a knot at the junction. In this way, a modern scarf was made up.

Zhenliang put the scarf from the top of her head and looped it around her neck, then pulled it up, the stretchy black cloth could cover half of her face, and the two unsightly black spots were successfully covered.

It's not a cold winter day. If a man wears a scarf in broad daylight, it is easy to arouse suspicion from others. But if he travels at night, there is nothing wrong with such a dress, and it will not look abnormal.

Zhenliang packs her luggage, and greets Husky who has been with her all the time, "Zhenqi, hurry up."

Zhenqi wagged its tail, expressing its support and joy.

Masuzu opened the door cautiously, and the doorkeeper was sleeping soundly sitting against the wall.

Apologetically sticking out her tongue at the servant, Zhenliang turned her head and made a silent gesture to Zhenqi, then tiptoed downstairs and left the inn soon.

While visiting Rongcheng during the day, Zhenliang also inquired about the general situation of Rongcheng. For example, the most important question is, if you travel at night, where can you hire a carriage?

When Zhenliang brought Zhenqi to the only car rental shop in Rongcheng late at night, the boss who was busy counting the money told her with a smile, "Business is very good tonight, all the carriages have been hired, if you want to hire a car , at least until dawn."

Zhenliang didn't come here to play around, but to escape from marriage, so she couldn't wait until dawn before leaving Rongcheng.

Not to mention when the servant sleeping at the door of her guest room will wake up. After a few hours, the servant who went to sleep first will definitely go back to change shifts. At that time, even if she had ten carriages, they might have to get them back.

Seeing Zhenliang's anxious look, the owner of the car shop couldn't help asking, "Where does this little brother want to go?"

Masuzu replied, "Leave the city."

"Going out of the city, brother, if you have to hurry, you can go to the gate of the city to try. The business in Rongcheng is prosperous, and there are still a lot of carriages driving all night. If you are lucky, you may be able to stop a carriage to take you for a ride. "The boss kindly suggested.

That's a pretty good idea!

After Zhenliang thanked the boss, she immediately rushed to the gate of the city.

Fortunately, Rongcheng is not that big. After more than half an hour, Zhenliang and Zhenqi arrived at the gate of the city. They didn't stand for long when they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them.

Zhenliang took a closer look and saw that it was a carriage.

When the carriage approached, Zhen Liang saw clearly that the person driving the carriage was a middle-aged man with a benevolent face, so he raised his hand to stop the carriage with confidence.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

The middle-aged man stopped the carriage and replied, "Ai County."

Zhenliang heard about Ai County from Jinye Yinye, it is said that Ai County is a place where beauties are produced, and most of the beauties in the capital, including the emperor's women, are from Ai County.

At this moment, Zhenliang just wanted to leave Rongcheng first, but no matter where he was going next, he pretended to be pleasantly surprised to the middle-aged man, "Oh, what a coincidence, I'm going to Ai County, can uncle give me a ride?" ? I can give you ten taels of silver as travel expenses."

"If you don't think the carriage is crowded, then come up, and I will charge you five taels of silver."

"Thank you, uncle." Zhenliang was overjoyed, and felt even more convinced that this is a benevolent uncle.

The middle-aged man's compartment was full of goods, and there were no other people, and the empty space was just enough for Zhen Liang and Zhen Qi to squeeze together.

After the carriage started, Zhen Liang looked at Zhen Qi lying silently beside her lap, opened the door curtain and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, why aren't you afraid of the wolf beside me?"

It was those two strong servants, whenever Zhen Qi approached them, they would show a look of defense, obviously terrified, and this middle-aged man clearly saw Zhen Qi, but he seemed to see a dog, his face There is no strangeness or fear.

The middle-aged man immediately replied loudly, "Since it can follow you, it must have been tamed by you. You are not afraid at a young age. What should I be afraid of as a middle-aged man? Besides, I was a hunter before, and I have killed wolves older than you." There are more, wolves are as simple as prey to me, so there is nothing to fear."

So it turned out that Zhenliang only understood the reason why middle-aged men are not afraid of Zhenqi, but did not hear the cruelty and danger contained in his words.

Zhenliang chatted casually with the middle-aged man again, and then felt sleepy. Hearing Zhenliang yawn, the middle-aged man said, "Go to sleep, when you wake up, we should have arrived in Ai County."

This middle-aged man not only looks kind, but also has a loud voice and a friendly attitude. Zhenliang's impression of this uncle can't help but get better and better, and she has Zhenqi's guardian by her side, so she fell asleep in peace.

When she opened her eyes, the carriage had stopped, and Zhen Qi silently accompanied her with her eyes open.

No one knows Zhenliang and Zhenqi. Although the two have arrived in Ai County, they are already in a dangerous situation like a wolf's den, and they don't know what unexpected things will happen after the truth of people's appearances. .
