In the courtyard of He Lai's house, Wen Qingzhu stood at the door, looking far away in the direction where the two patriarchs lived.
About half an hour later, there was a loud bang in the distance, followed by a series of small explosions.
Soon, flames shot into the sky.
Wen Qingzhu looked over there, looking slightly nervous.
I don't know what the situation is over there.
In the worst case, Feitian can evacuate safely, but He Laike may not.
After waiting patiently for two quarters of an hour, the courtyard door was quietly pushed open.
A familiar figure quickly ran in.
When he arrived in front of Wen Qingzhu, he pulled off the scarf on his face and gasped: "It went very well! The second patriarch of the Asang tribe is dead, and he also brought the eldest disciple of Wuzhu Palace with him. He Lai wanted to save The second patriarch was injured, but his condition is still stable, and the only one who is fine is the left column."
"Is the chief disciple of Wu Zhu Palace over there? Is Zuo Column also there?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't figure out why they were all with the second clan leader at this time
Feitian shook his head: "I don't know, but things seem to be going well so far, and after I escaped, I met the second prince and Denton. You may need to go back quickly!"
Wen Qingzhu didn't hesitate, nodded immediately, and followed Feitian back to Denton's small yard.
When she first arrived at the house and Feitian hadn't left yet, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Soon someone knocked on the door: "Is the girl asleep?"
Feitian jumped onto the beam without hesitation, and Wen Qingzhu quickly went to the bed and lowered the curtain.
He quickly took off his clothes, and before he could remember to put on his pajamas, someone outside had already pushed the door open and entered.
Soon they arrived at the door of the room, but this person did not come in directly. Instead, he shouted in a louder voice: "Girl?"
"What's wrong?" Wen Qingzhu pretended to be confused and sleepy, and stretched out his hand to yawn.
She quickly put on her clothes, turned around, got out of bed, and walked to the door of the room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the guard who had come in before.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him doubtfully: "Aside from what else?"
The guard raised his eyes and glanced inside her room, shook his head and said, "No, it's okay. Lord Denton was here just now. If anything happens to you, just call us."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu nodded, looking at the dew on his shoulders, and walked out quickly.
When he reached the table, he turned around and poured him a glass of hot water and handed it to him: "Brother, please drink a glass of hot water. You have worked hard all night."
The guard wanted to refuse, but he couldn't help but agreed: "Okay."
Wen Qingzhu quickly handed the cup forward. Just as the guard reached over, another person came to the door of the hall.
It was another guard who happened to see Wen Qingzhu delivering water to his teammates.
When he saw Wen Qingzhu, he was also shocked.
But soon, reason took over, and he said something to the guard in front of Wen Qingzhu with a serious face.
Wen Qingzhu didn't understand, but judging from their expressions, it was definitely not a good thing.
The guard standing in front of Wen Qingzhu quickly retracted his hand and took two steps back: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be nosy! In fact, I came here twice before and you never responded to me. I thought it was for something else. I Let’s go now.”
Wen Qingzhu wanted to say something else, but the two people had already left quickly.
A ray of skylight appeared outside. She walked slowly to the door, looked at the eastern sky, and prayed in her heart: I hope they can escape.
In the early morning, Wen Qingzhu changed his clothes and went to make breakfast.
Thinking of the kindness of the guard last night, she filled two portions and carried them to the door.
Just when he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, shocking Wen Qingzhu and taking two steps back.
The person who appeared in front of her was Denton.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu up and down, frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the two people outside: "I am idle and I also made breakfast for them -"
Looking closely, she saw that the two guards at the door were no longer there. The one who had a crush on her was no longer there.
Denton looked back outside. He already knew everything about last night.
After careful interrogation, basically there was no problem.
Denton walked directly into the house, but Wen Qingzhu carried the food box over and handed it to the guards outside and said, "You can accept it, please accept it."
The two guards didn't pick it up, so Wen Qingzhu simply put it on the ground.
Then she quickly turned back to the house.
Denton had already sat down, and as soon as Wen Qingzhu entered the room, he asked, "Have you had breakfast, sir? I'll go to the kitchen to bring it to you."
She was about to turn around when Denton stopped her: "Wait!"
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to turn around, his expression innocent but a little uneasy.
After all, Denton doesn't look very good right now.
After a moment of silence, Denton suddenly asked: "Where are you from?"
"From Lingcheng." Wen Qingzhu didn't hesitate.
Denton thought for a while, and he also learned about the affairs of the Central Plains from King Zuoxian and the Fourth Prince.
Lingcheng is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River in Qi State, with many beauties.
There seemed to be no problem, but Denton always felt that women like Wen Qingzhu must be very rare even in Qi State.
"what's your name?"
"Qing'er."
"How did you get caught?"
"The family fell into decline and was sold by relatives. Later it was transferred to Dingyuan, and later it was sold to the Xiongnu."
Denton said nothing, but looked carefully into Wen Qingzhu's eyes.
After checking again and again, he was sure that she was not lying, and then he sighed.
After a long while, he said: "Originally, I wanted to send you away, but now something big has happened in Tianying City. Shops may be searched throughout the city, and you may not be able to return to Qi State."
"Yes, really..." Wen Qingzhu's eyes were full of disappointment.
Denton saw this, and although he felt upset in his heart, it was much better than yesterday.
But soon Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at Denton with bright eyes: "Your Excellency is so kind, I will just follow you from now on!"
"I..." Denton looked at her with a complicated expression.
The best way is to kill her quietly, but he never kills innocent people, so he can't do it.
But if they find out here, Qing'er will definitely be discovered!
Fortunately for the sixth prince, the second prince would definitely not let him go due to his temperament.
Now the second prince wants to marry Princess Atia. When Qing'er appears, he will either be killed by Atia, or the second prince will cross the river and burn the bridge to kill Atia.
No matter what the situation is, it is definitely not a good thing for the conflict between the second prince and the Asan tribe to intensify at this time.
After careful consideration, Denton raised his head and asked her: "Would you choose between alive or disfigured?"
Wen Qingzhu was startled, was he thinking about her
But if you disfigure your face, it will definitely reduce the chaos that your face may cause.
Wen Qingzhu hesitated, looked up at Denton and said, "I...can I think for a moment?"
"No problem." Denton answered simply.
Both sides fell into silence.
Someone outside came to report that a businessman with a waistband was here.
Denton knew it was Feitian coming.
He immediately got up and went out, and did not come back for a long time.
About a quarter of an hour later, the courtyard door opened, and a guard walked in with Feitian.
However, they did not come to the main room, but went directly to the latrine.
When leaving, Feitian glanced here.
Wen Qingzhu understood this, and as soon as they left and the courtyard door closed, she went to the latrine.
Soon a scroll of superstition was found inside the crack of the door.
She read it quickly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that when something happened to the second patriarch, the second prince immediately sent someone to invite Juqu and the others back.
The accident happened to the second chief of the Asang tribe, and almost all the people from the sixth prince came back.
The only people left were Balu from the fourth prince's side and a group of people, who were continuing the investigation.
After evacuating a large number of blockades, the people on the other side quickly found the opportunity and led everyone to escape from here.
At the same time, although Sanniang was seriously injured, she was successfully rescued.
Wen Qingzhu turned to the kitchen, tore up the secret letter, threw it into the swill bucket, stirred it thoroughly, and then washed his hands and went out.
Her plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain finally succeeded.
Even an important figure was eliminated.
Returning to the main room, Wen Qingzhu always paid attention to the movements at the door of the courtyard.
Half an hour later, someone started making a noise outside.
Wen Qingzhu listened carefully, and it seemed like Feitian's voice.
But after a while, his voice disappeared.
When Feitian's voice stopped, Denton walked in.
He walked in with a bag in his hand and threw it directly to Wen Qingzhu.
"This is a set of cosmetics. You can make yourself look ugly."
Wen Qingzhu stood up in surprise: "What do you mean, sir?"
Denton didn't look into her eyes, but nodded and said, "You don't have to be disfigured."
Although Wen Qingzhu didn't know what happened, he still kept bending down to thank him.
"Come in quickly and try."
Denton urged, and Wen Qingzhu turned around and left.
The moment she turned around, she noticed that Denton looked over, his eyes a little strange.
But she didn't think much about it and went to her room to make herself up as an ugly girl.
After opening the door, Wen Qingzhu called him enthusiastically: "Sir, what do you think of this?"
Denton was drinking tea. When he looked up and saw Wen Qingzhu's face, he immediately spit out a mouthful of tea.
He quickly averted his eyes, held his forehead and said, "This is too scary! You can make it a little more eye-catching!"
Wen Qingzhu said oh and turned around to go in.
She sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
He has dark skin, thick eyebrows, pockmarked face, and jealous and exaggerated red lips.
It does look a bit scary.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and changed his makeup when he picked up the tools again.
She came out again, and Denton looked at her motionless.
Wen Qingzhu asked carefully: "Sir, is this okay?"
Hearing her voice, Denton came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "That's okay, but are your makeup skills so good? It's very different from the original one, as if you're a different person."
Wen Qingzhu explained: "I have known since I was a child that I looked pretty good, but I have been in trouble since I was a child, so I knew how to put on makeup at a very young age to make myself look like ordinary people."
"Then you are so skilled at applying makeup to yourself, how can you apply makeup to others?" Denton suddenly thought of something.
Wen Qingzhu said uncertainly: "It should be possible. It mainly depends on the effect. If I apply makeup in the direction of a normal person like me, it should be fine."
"Yeah." Denton nodded.
There was a sudden noise outside, and the courtyard door was violently smashed open.
Balu's figure appeared outside, and Denton stood up immediately.
He looked very unhappy. He ran in angrily, pointed at Denton and cursed: "What are you doing with so much gold?"
"I naturally wanted to do my own thing when I raised the gold. In the past, I didn't care about anything you did when you raised the gold."
As Denton answered, he looked at Balu's expression and found that he didn't seem to notice Wen Qingzhu.
After listening to his words, Balu's face turned red with anger: "You don't know how much money I take every time? You got twenty gold ingots this time! What on earth are you going to do?"
This number is not a small amount. If you buy slaves, you can buy hundreds of people!
It's not that Baloo didn't believe Denton, but he always felt that he was hiding something from him.
