On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Huo Changhe had a deep memory of the scene at that time, and he told Yan Ruyu in detail about the changes in the mysterious man's cloak and the mask on his face.

After listening to this, Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "Why do I hear..."

Is it a bit like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera?

However, she had not watched many plays before, and she had only seen performances like this on TV or in videos, and had never seen it in person.

Besides, changing face is just a fake mask, can it change clothes?

She wasn't sure.

Huo Changhe was curious: "Have you heard of it?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of a performance before, where the mask on the face can be changed in an instant, but I've never heard of clothes."

Huo Changhe thought thoughtfully: "However, what is certain this time is that he is a man, and I think he should know me."

"Oh? Why? Tell me."

Huo Changhe really likes to discuss with Yan Ruyu, and he can always discover subtle details or have a sudden enlightenment every time.

"He came out from the back door of the temple. I led my men out from the shadows. He didn't ask who I was, but stepped back subconsciously. That's the reaction you would have when you meet a strong opponent."

Yan Ruyu agreed: "Yes, according to what you said, he didn't intend to fight with you at all, he just wanted to escape."

"His flying claws are also really powerful. I guess the calluses on his hands are probably formed from practicing flying claws."

"I also took the flying claw back and gave it to the secret guards to study it."

He had several secret guards under his command who were skilled in using weapons and concealed weapons. Their skills were superb and Yan Ruyu was deeply impressed.

"Also," Huo Changhe held her hand, "I told Kong Ming to find two cemeteries. If there is no movement in a few days, destroy the cave and bury the body."

Yan Ruyu did not object: "It has been so many days, and there is no response. It means that we have been exposed. There is no need to keep so many people."

It was getting late, and Yan Ruyu knew that Huo Changhe was in a bad mood, so she held his hand and said, "Let's go wash up. If you can't sleep, I'll tell you a few stories."

Huo Changhe pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay."

He went to the bathroom to wash and get ready, while Yan Ruyu lay on the bed and waited, using this time to contact the abbot.

"Ruyu, how are you?" The abbot's voice sounded a little hoarse, but he was in very good spirits.

"You're still going to the mine?"

"Of course, this feeling of accomplishment is so great," the abbot whispered, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and they're all fine too. I have enough food in my space, and I added some spring water to the cooking water, so none of them are sick."

Yan Ruyu laughed in silence: "This is a good idea. You are smart enough to think of it."

"Of course, this job is really hard, and everyone is working very hard. We can't get tired and sick, right?" The abbot finished talking about his own affairs and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well, have you ever seen the face-changing performance in Sichuan opera?"

The abbot snorted and laughed: "Not only have I seen it, I can also change it."

Yan Ruyu was really surprised: "You can change? How can you do this?"

"My cousin does this. He has been learning from his master since he was a child. His master is a famous expert."

"That happened when I was a kid. I was so envious of him. He only came home during the Spring Festival, so I kept pestering him to teach me a few tricks."

"When I grew up, I realized how hard it was. Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Yan Ruyu asked again: "Do you think it is possible to change clothes while changing your face?"

"Of course, my cousin can do it, and so can his master and uncle. However, they are all specially made performance costumes."

"So that's how it is," Yan Ruyu's heart seemed to be enlightened, "Today, the prince went to arrest someone and encountered a rare thing."

When she explained the situation in general, the abbot became anxious: "Is this true? Oh, isn't this just showing off in front of Guan Gong? It's really interesting. Next time, take me with you, and I will tear off his fake face and robe."

Yan Ruyu had an idea in mind, and she reminded the abbot to take care of himself. When she heard some noise in the outer room, she hung up and exited the space.

Huo Changhe lay down refreshed and waited for Yan Ruyu to tell a story.

Yan Ruyu met his clear eyes and held back her laughter: "Then let's start with Sichuan Opera face-changing today."

"Face-changing?" Huo Changhe asked, "I haven't finished talking about the iron bird that can fly in the sky last time."

"I'm also thinking about whether I can build a running iron horse myself."

"We can't rush this, we have to take it slowly," Yan Ruyu comforted, "Today's face change is related to the mysterious man who escaped."

Sure enough, when this was mentioned, Huo Changhe became interested again.

"Then tell me quickly."

……

A basin of blood was swaying under the light, and the mysterious man was wearing a mask on his face, hiding his hideous and painful expression.

Both of Huo Changhe's hidden weapons hit him, one on the shoulder and the other on the leg.

"The King of Zhennan is as powerful as ever."

He muttered to himself, finally dug the hidden weapon out of his flesh and threw it into the basin of blood.

This hidden weapon was specially made by Huo Changhe's secret guards. If it fails to hit the target, it will have to dig out a large piece of flesh before it can be taken out.

He took a break for a while, but then had to bandage the wound quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bear the bleeding.

He bit a handkerchief before applying the medicine. When the medicine was sprinkled on the wound, the pain made his eyes black.

By the time the bandage was done, all his clothes were soaked, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

After taking the towel out of his mouth, he leaned weakly against the chair. His body could rest, but his brain could not.

This matter involves the Prince of Zhennan, so he must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, who knows what will be involved.

How could Huo Changhe become suspicious?

He couldn't figure it out. It was obvious that Hou Bulai was just an ordinary military strategist in a mountain village and had no background at all.

It has nothing to do with Huo Changhe at all.

Thinking of Hou Bulai, he now understood why Hou Bulai suddenly called him and ran out of the house.

What happened tonight was a trap.

Waiting for him to fall into the trap.

He was secretly annoyed. He originally wanted to end the matter amicably and confirm whether the Jiang family members were kidnapped and killed.

We have made an appointment, and if I don't go, Hou Bulai might become suspicious.

He wasn't doing it for the one thousand taels of silver at all.

There was a ruthless light in his eyes. No matter what, if Hou Bulai dared to betray him, he must die.

……

Early the next morning, Yan Ruyu was about to go to the lady's yard for breakfast when she met Beibei dressed as "Li Lin".

He stepped forward and said, "Princess, I have to go pick up the goods."

"Did you agree on everything yesterday?"

"We have reached an agreement, signed the documents, put our fingerprints on them, and stamped them. If we cannot deliver the goods by then, we will have to pay double the deposit."

Beibei raised a finger: "Yesterday I gave a deposit of 20,000 taels."
