Shen Qianshan raised his concerns. During this period of time on the battlefield, he paid special attention to Huang Hao. He was brave and good at fighting, just like a man with strong martial arts skills. He was bold and skilled in strategy and tactics. He had some insights, but he had never been defensive. When he was still the former prince, he had already seen Huang Hao's carelessness on the battlefield.
If not for that day on the battlefield, Dong Liangguo's craftsmen would not have taken advantage of such a big loophole. After all, even if Huang Hao has Song Yu by his side, it does not mean that the two of them can live like this. In this posture, it would be fine if there were fewer people. If Liu Yue sent too many people, accidents would inevitably happen.
What's more, Qian'er is still among them.
"It's better than this. We go with them and fly homing pigeons on the road. It's better than arousing suspicion in the city. What do you think?"
It is not that Gu Huaian has not considered this issue, but now it seems that Liu Yue is able to control the entire Zhenzhou City simply because he took advantage of the weather. In turbulent times, this heavenly master may not be able to influence the entire Zhenzhou City. of people.
Perhaps Liu Yue's men did not have as many troops as they imagined.
Shen Qianshan thought for a while and nodded, "This is a way to find out the truth and reveal the true face of this fake heavenly master."
However, the two of them did not expect that Liu Yue and the false heavenly master wanted the disaster relief money much more urgently than they imagined. Not long after dawn, Liu Yue and his followers held oil-paper umbrellas. They arrived at the door of the inn where they lived.
"Master Gu, Master Feng, the official is here early in the morning. I wonder if it disturbs the rest of the two adults?" Liu Yue had a smile on his face, and Gu Huaian couldn't say anything. After all, it was still polite to reach out and not hit the smiling person. He replied, "It's okay, we both got up early."
"Master Liu came here so early. I wonder if there is something important?" Shen Qianshan sat in the lobby on the first floor of the post house and poured himself a cup of tea. It was still raining outside, Liu Yue He rushed over so impatiently. If he said that he had no evil intentions, I'm afraid Shen Qianshan wouldn't believe it.
"Master Feng still has good eyesight. It just rained a little this morning. I am afraid that it will affect the progress of the relief team, so I am going to discuss it with the two adults to see if I can send someone there." Would you like to take care of it so that the road will not be muddy on rainy days and delay the team's progress?"
Gu Huaian had his back to Liu Yue at that time. After hearing his words, the expression on his face was unavoidable with contempt, "Master Liu really made careful arrangements, which impressed both of us. Since Master Liu said so, we are not good either." I refuse, but I have a merciless request, I don’t know if Mr. Liu can agree to it.”
When Liu Yue came in, Shen Qianshan had a hunch that this matter might be simpler, and sure enough, Liu Yue actually came to the door himself.
Liu Yue originally wanted to get the relief funds as quickly as possible, but she didn't expect that Gu Huaian would suddenly say such words, which inevitably made her murmur a little, but she still smiled and greeted him, "Master Gu's words are obvious. Yes, if Master Gu has any instructions, just say it."
"When you leave the city, the two of us will go with you."
Gu Huaian turned around and looked at Liu Yue with a serious look on his face.
Liu Yue really wanted to get the disaster relief money as early as possible, so he wanted to send people out. If everything went well, he might be able to send the troops who transported the disaster relief money back directly. If not, he would just force them. Kill all the people delivering disaster relief funds.
But if you take the Minister of Household Affairs with you, I'm afraid things won't be that easy. After all, he is also an official sent by the court. If there are any problems in his territory, the emperor will definitely blame him, and the matter will be a big deal. .
“Two adults, although our Zhenzhou City is only a small place, we still have enough manpower, so I won’t bother you two to follow us. Besides, it just rained and the ground is muddy and difficult to walk on. You adults can have a good rest in the post house without having to worry about anything."
"Master Liu is so direct about this matter. Is it possible that there is something that is not convenient for the two of us to know?"
Shen Qianshan didn't care so much and spoke out his problem directly. The more clearly he spoke out, the less Liu Yue could just cover up the matter.
Sure enough, Liu Yue's expression suddenly changed.
"What Mr. Feng said is embarrassing to Xianguan. Isn't it because Xianguan is thinking about the two adults? If the two adults want to follow, how can Xianguan have any doubts."
Liu Yue smiled awkwardly, but he had already said this, and he could not refute the two of them. As for the next thing, it seemed that he could only take it one step at a time.
Shen Zhongbai was still worried about Gu Suran's matter, and he was always uneasy when dealing with the official affairs at hand. After finally solving the matter at hand, he quickly called the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.
"Is there such a method in the world that can change a person's appearance?" Shen Zhongbai just wanted to know whether Gu Su Ran was deliberately hiding his identity and contacting Gu Su Ran again. All the time, he always felt that Gu Suran was probably a very familiar person to him.
For the first time, Shen Zhongbai felt that he had such feelings. Sydney felt something was wrong, so he had to ask clearly.
"Of course there is. I have heard that some people can use some herbs and animal fats to make human pi masks that are similar to human faces. People with good skills can make human pi masks that are so lifelike that ordinary people can see them. There’s just no way to tell.”
"Then is there any way to see it? For example... a way to make people's masks fall off?"
The old doctor thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but since it is oily, it will definitely show flaws when it comes into contact with water. If it is splashed with water, even if it is not guaranteed to remove the human skin mask, it can at least be seen. Come up with some flaws.”
"water?"
After Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang packed up, they arrived at the palace. Gu Qiang took out the token given to her by Shen Zhongbai. Fortunately, the token was still there, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to enter the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, the consort is here."
Shen Zhongbai was thinking about how to verify Gu Suran's true identity. The little Taijie beside him came in to report, and he happened to bump into him. Taking this opportunity, he could also confirm Gu Suran's true identity.
"Let him in."
Gu Qiang heard Gu Su Liang explain in detail what happened during the period when she was no longer in Kyoto. According to Gu Qiang's arrangements for Shen Zhongbai, he must have doubted his identity. If he didn't If he showed up, Shen Zhongbai might have to send people to burn down Xiaoyao Tower.
"Prince-in-law, please stay here for a while. The Emperor will arrive shortly."
Before Shen Zhongbai arrived, Shen Siyin arrived first. After seeing Gu Suran, he seemed very surprised, "Why are you here? Are you not..."
After listening to Shen Siyin's words, Gu Qiang had a pretty good idea. It seemed that Shen Siyin had heard a lot about what happened during this period of time, but looking at the way she downloaded it, it seemed that she really hadn't told Shen Zhongbai. Yes, but why did Shen Siyin do this? Could it be that he really fell in love with himself
Gu Qiang shook her head violently to get rid of this terrible thought. It was a nightmare for Shen Siyin to fall in love with him. Things were already troublesome enough. If he stabbed her again, something would really happen.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Gu Qiang knew that her face was different from before, but after all, Shen Siyin hadn't seen him for so many days, so he probably wouldn't notice such fine details.
Gu Qiang had known for a long time that Shen Siyin was not a simple person, and he couldn't show off his skills in front of her. This Shen Siyin also knew medical skills, but he was afraid that she hadn't paid attention to it before, but now she would pay too much attention to herself. s face.
"Are all your illnesses cured?"
Shen Siyin knew that Gu Su Liang's special cover-up was probably because Gu Su Ran had something to do during this time and left Kyoto. He also understood the suspicious character of the imperial brother, and Shen Si Yin was also afraid of unintended consequences. That's why I keep pushing this matter away. Since Gu Suran has come back, I have nothing to worry about.
"Please worry, princess. The common man's health is no longer serious."
Shen Siyin nodded towards Gu Qiang, but did not move his eyes away, as if waiting for the two of them to speak. The three of them were in a stalemate, and they did not speak until Shen Zhongbai came in.
"Si Yin, you're here too. That's just in time. Everyone is here. I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more dishes tonight, and we'll get together. The prince-in-law has been sick for so long, and it's not easy to see him. It can be considered as a celebration of your recovery from a serious illness. I haven’t seen you these days, and my consort seems to have lost a lot of weight."
Gu Qiang had already considered this issue when she was disguising herself. After removing the thickness of the human pi mask, Gu Suran's face was smaller than before, and she also had a sick look, which was convincing. .
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Since Shen Zhongbai began to doubt Gu Suran's identity, he has paid more and more attention to him. He is always thinking about the words of the old doctor in his mind. When the person wearing the human mask makes an exaggerated expression , it is very likely that flaws will be revealed, but Gu Suran seems to look sickly at all times. Where is the exaggerated expression
