After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu was not a girl who was really kept in the boudoir. She loved going out, and her parents did not like to restrict her in the past. Sometimes, she would go out for a stroll with her father, brothers or Nanci for five days out of ten. Although she did not go far to the suburbs every time she went out, she also prepared a "portable tube". Many convenient items for going out could be put into this small and easy-to-carry bamboo tube. This time, when she was on a diplomatic mission and traveling a long distance, she sometimes had to "picnic", so Yingshu put a teaspoon that could also be used as a spoon into the portable tube. Yesterday, when she was packing medicines, tinder, and other items for emergency use when "escaping", she threw the portable tube into the cloth bag.

Hearing Sikong Yuehu's regretful sigh, Yingshu put down the "soup bowl" and teaspoon in her hand and said, "I originally estimated that I would need to take a raft across the river through Xiangzhi Village before I could get in touch with the inspector of the Flying Eagle Division. I knew that Your Majesty was safe, so I asked Your Majesty to keep quiet and just say that there had been no news of me for several days. But we can't delay leaving Wuguan for Xiangyang any longer. The capital of Northern Han is in chaos, and Ran Qiji will surely be anxious to bring Jiang Mo back to the country as soon as possible. When he sees that Your Majesty is safe, he will certainly not care about my life or death.

Although my life or death is uncertain, Jiang Gaofan will certainly not stay in Northern Han any longer. He deliberately hides his true face in order not to leave any handle for Northern Han, so that he can change his name and continue to serve His Highness in Dayu in the future. When he set out from Lantian, the Great Shangchen of Northern Han had already died in the assassination attempt last night that was actually planned by him. After taking off his mask, he became a soldier in the delegation guards, and of course it was impossible for him to have any connection with Jiang Lina's personal guards.

Even if this group of assassins are not familiar with the terrain outside the Forbidden Garden, they will definitely search upstream. They will find Xiangzhi Village first, but they will not stay there for long. Because Ran Qiji heard that I was assassinated, he will definitely arrange a group of soldiers to search in the meantime. Therefore, I only need to hide in the suburbs for three days and then go to Xiangzhi Village, and I will be safe. "

Sikong Yuehu nodded.

There is no need for Ran Qiji to hunt down Ying Shu, but in view of the insistence of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace and Liang Hui, in order to get the hostage Jiang Mo back as soon as possible according to the original plan, he must try to send someone to rescue her. However, Ying Shu does not intend to be "rescued". This is just in case Jiang Gaofan can deceive Jiang Tai and easily cause trouble in Wuguan, allowing Ran Zhugu to lead 10,000 troops to make a surprise attack. As long as he is sure that Ying Shu is not dead and there is still hope to continue his assassination plan, he may take the risk and try to recall those assassins to assassinate again.

Yingshu decided to part ways with Dianjun and his party for the sake of the overall situation. In fact, as long as she did not fall into the hands of the assassin, she could escape to Hanzhong with the help of the Flying Eagle Tribe. After a great victory in Hanzhong, she naturally would not have to worry about how to return to Dayu.

"But since Your Highness has made such a brilliant plan and has already made arrangements, I think we can rush to Xiangzhi Village tomorrow."

The implication is that His Highness' wish to drink tea will be fulfilled tomorrow.

"I have arranged personnel in Xiangzhi Village in advance. Today, the assassins have heard that Chang'an has fallen into chaos again, Queen Mother Yao has been beheaded, and their master Jiang Lina is truly under house arrest. Although these assassins cannot imagine that Jiang Tai was stabbed in the back by Jiang Gaofan for a while, they must be panicked when they hear the bad news, especially when they are sure that Ran Qiji's guards are also pursuing along the water. They will definitely not dare to stay in Xiangzhi Village. We can indeed rush to Xiangzhi Village tomorrow."

Sikong Yuehu raised his hand to support his shoulder. Of course, his wound did not heal so quickly and it hurt from time to time. This subconscious action touched upon another layer of his mind. He was not sure whether Yingshu said this just to ridicule his pretentiousness of wanting to drink tea when he was in trouble. His gaze passed through the smoke, and there was no concern or worry in those clear eyes. At the root of his tongue, the taste of the wild vegetables seemed to rise, with a slight bitterness after dissolving in the soup, going along the throat to the lungs, and he didn't know why it went astray to the heart and covered it there.

"In fact, Deputy Envoy Zuo no longer needs to worry about Jiang Lina's men still being used by Jiang Gaofan. He can also meet up with the Lord of the Palace."

There was really no need to go to Hanzhong with him. The sooner they arrived in Xiangyang, the sooner Sikong Nanci could see that she was unharmed and feel at ease. Otherwise, even seeing the news of her safety would still make him worried.

"I have no evidence to prove that Jiang Gaofan was the mastermind behind my assassination. After all, Jiang Lina didn't necessarily have to learn from Jiang Gaofan that Dianjun and I were secretly transferred to the Lantian Palace. She hated me to the core, so she used Jiang Yan to secretly let her guards leave the city and told them that even if they couldn't ruin Jiang Tai's plan, they must ambush and kill me. In the eyes of everyone, this was in line with Jiang Lina's behavior.

Moreover, Jiang Gaofan also knew about the surprise attack on Hanzhong. I couldn't force Ran Qiji to reveal this matter in front of him. If I met with Dianjun, I would have to worry about him trying to murder me, and there was still a great possibility that others would be implicated and the overall plan would be damaged."

Yingshu did not change her plan to "part ways", but because of Sikong Yuehu's support, she suddenly felt "greedy": "I originally thought that I had to abandon Feiguang, but since His Highness has already made arrangements in Xiangzhi Village, is there a way to ferry Feiguang to the other side?"

"Then we have to continue moving up and give up our transition in Xiangzhi Village."

Yingshu's knowledge of the terrain upstream of the Forbidden Garden is limited to Xiangzhi Village. Xiangzhi Village is actually a village and there are not many merchants passing through. If they take Feiguang there, it will prove that their identities are very extraordinary. Although they will not be killed by assassins, they will most likely be discovered by the guards sent by Ran Qiji. Then she will have to meet up with Dianjun.

But Sikong Yuehu was obviously more familiar with the terrain of Northern Han than Yingshu.

"If we go further upstream, we can bypass the main stream and wade through the tributaries. The water is shallow and slow, so we don't need to use a bamboo raft. This route is not really a detour, but we have to spend a few more days sleeping outdoors."

As a soldier, Sikong Yuehu could not understand the feeling of being unwilling to give up the mount under no circumstances, but Yingshu was not a soldier. Although Feiguang was a mount given by the emperor, she certainly understood that His Majesty would never blame her for "damaging" the horse given by the emperor. However, she and Feiguang were "sharing life and death together". When she heard that it was possible to bring this extremely spiritual horse back to Dayu, she immediately decided to live in the open air without fear.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."

Very polite.

The next morning, another inspector brought prepared clothes. Of course, they were not brocade dresses, but hemp clothes and cloth trousers. They were clearly the clothes of Qiang civilians, but they were also very convenient for movement. Sikong Yuehu temporarily changed the route to Hanzhong. The two inspectors did not feel embarrassed at all. They had already figured out all the routes, and even explored the canyons and caves where they could live. Drinking water was not a problem. With these two inspectors following, even if Sikong Yuehu had a shoulder injury, hunting rabbits and fishing for food supplies would not be a problem, so they set off immediately.

Although Chazi was unable to prepare horses in advance due to various constraints, he had prepared two donkeys as planned. Otherwise, it would not have been so convenient for them to deliver various supplies from the cliff valley in the past two days. There were four people in the group, three on horseback. Although they walked on bumpy and rugged mountain roads and could only rest in caves or crevices at night, and even encountered wild wolves on the road, they had a relatively smooth journey.

Gradually, they came out of the mountain jungle and into the sparsely populated suburbs, and gradually they could see the village of Tianyuan. Finally, they arrived at the bustling town. Sikong Yuehu decided to stay here for two days to have a good rest. Of course, it was also to contact Chazi and obtain the prepared registration certificate and make a new appearance.

"Since we have horses with us, it is more appropriate for us to disguise ourselves as merchants. Anyway, since Tongguan was attacked and a coup d'état took place in Chang'an City again, many merchants are worried about the fall of Chang'an. Losing money is a small matter, but it is better to avoid Hanzhong first to ensure our life safety. Although there are soldiers stationed at Dasan Pass, they will not stop ordinary pedestrians." Sikong Yuehu handed the registration token prepared by his subordinates to Yingshu for review.

They were from Northern Qi and were brother and sister. Although they were not wanted criminals by the Northern Han government, they did not have to worry about being strictly interrogated when passing through Dasan Pass. However, in this chaotic environment, in order to avoid disaster, Yingshu had to disguise herself as an ordinary-looking woman. As Yingshu's "brother", Sikong Yuehu could not have a very different appearance from her. He knew the art of disguise, but Yingshu had not yet mastered the technique.

Yingshu initially thought that as long as she crossed the river from Xiangzhi Village, it would not be difficult to conceal her appearance. She painted her face yellow and dark and drew thick eyebrows. The people living in Xiangzhi Village were ordinary people and of course had never seen her. She only needed to spend some money and ask someone to paddle her to the other side on a raft. Then she would meet with the inspector in the suburbs of the county and she would not have to worry about how to protect her safe arrival in Hanzhong.

"In the Northern Han Dynasty, the Flying Eagle Division originally did not arrange for women, because men are more convenient to act. Madam Wei sent her trusted aides other than Hongtao and Baili to sneak into Yizhou at great risk, and then went through Yizhou to Jiankang. She tried every means to contact Baichuan Jun, and my father ordered me to arrange to contact Madam Wei. But if Jiang Tai had not been instigated to trick the prince into going to the Northern Han Dynasty, I actually did not intend to activate Madam Wei."

Yingshu understood that apart from Madam Wei and Hongtao and Baili, there were no other women from the Feiying tribe in the Northern Han Dynasty.

Compared with Northern Zhao, Northern Qi and other countries, women had the lowest status in Northern Han, just like Concubine Wen. She was once the queen of Northern Han and was greatly favored by Jiang Xiongying. However, Jiang Xiongying had already chosen a "destination" for his wife to be buried alive with him. Many women who were forced into prostitution, as long as they were outstanding in appearance, could not escape the fate of being abducted by the nobles of Northern Han, and could hardly be free again.

The main task of a detective is to spy on the enemy. For a female detective to play her role, she will inevitably resort to seduction. However, this is not feasible in Northern Han because her status is too low. Even if she can sneak into a noble's mansion, she can only become the noble's "private favorite", just like a female prisoner trapped in prison. Even if she can spy on confidential information, she has no chance or way to send it out.

"Although Chazi can also do the disguise, it will be easier if I do the makeup for the Left Deputy Envoy." Sikong Beihu said.

Since they are brother and sister, the elder brother can change his appearance by himself. In order to be more in line with the identities of brother and sister, there is certainly no need to ask others for help.

Yingshu looked at the many objects in front of her and finally gave up on learning this new skill. Although she had vaguely sensed that Jiang Gaofan had ill intentions towards her before the mission, it was difficult for her to explain to His Majesty why she had sensed it. Of course, she had no reason to ask to learn the secret technique of disguise mastered by the Flying Eagle Tribe. Moreover, although the inspectors all knew this skill, due to her own limitations, they could not completely disguise her as a man. As a woman, she could not let male servants enter and leave her bedroom to pack luggage for her "brother" or avoid the servants to discuss future plans. At least she would not appear so weird and be suspected for no reason.

You know, it might not be a big deal if her identity as the Left Deputy Envoy was exposed. When Sikong Yuehu sneaked into Hanzhong, she was bound to cooperate with the Jiangzhou army to wipe out the Qiang soldiers stationed in Lianzhu Mountain. The fewer casualties of the Jiangzhou army, the more they could ensure that they could hold on after capturing Hanzhong. The identity of Sikong Yuehu must not be exposed.

Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Although Yingshu does not mind having physical contact with men outside her, just like when Sikong Yuehu was injured, she was the only one by his side, and she had to dig out the arrowhead that was stuck in his shoulder and apply medicine and bandage for him. She did not hesitate at that time, and there is no need for her to be pretentious now.

"I understand. Please excuse me, Your Highness."

Still very polite.

Sikong Yuehu did not forget to explain that the Northern Qi royal family was from the Xianbei tribe, and that women of Xianbei descent tended to have fair skin, so there was no need to disguise their skin color. Their brow arches were more prominent, so they needed to be modified. Their cheeks were plump, but their facial contours were sharper. As for the color of their eyes...

Yingshu was surprised to find that her eye color had changed!

She was sure that Sikong Yuehu did not put any foreign objects into her eyes. He just smeared some sticky green substance, which looked like lip balm, on the inner eyelids. Her eyes felt uncomfortable at first, but after blinking a few times, the discomfort disappeared. She only felt as if there was a mist in her eye sockets. When she looked in the bronze mirror, she didn't feel anything at first, but gradually, her eyes turned into an extremely light green color.

"Many Xianbei women have emerald eyes, but some have black eyes. Most have black eyes at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they are actually light emerald. The thing I drew on the inside of your eyelids is called fluorescent fat. It actually can't change your eye color, but under the light, it will give people the illusion that you have light emerald eyes. Unlike your two maids, although they hold the Northern Qi talisman, they are domestic slaves, so they don't need to change their appearance as Chinese women.

For the sake of convenience, we have faked our identities to be from the Xianbei tribe. This will help us avoid a lot of unexpected disasters. Therefore, when we disguise ourselves, we have to have some Xianbei tribe characteristics. "

Sikong Yuehu said seriously: "It is too troublesome to forge the outline of the nose bridge, and if you are not careful, it is easy for people to see the flaw. However, not all the Xianbei tribesmen in Northern Qi have tall and long noses."

Yingshu felt that her eyes had turned into a light green color, but she did not become more beautiful. Her brow arches became more prominent, and the color of her eyebrows became dull and light. The contours of her cheeks also became sharper, but in fact they seemed to have become a lot "fuller". She didn't know what kind of juice was applied to her cheekbones, but after a few strokes of the paint, the light brown spots seemed to have grown naturally, and it actually gave the illusion that her cheekbones had expanded a bit.

She no longer recognized herself.

Sikong Yuehu also "changed" to a pair of "green eyes".

Yingshu then had a more intuitive feeling. She had seen many men from the Xianbei tribe, especially a group claiming to be descendants of the "White Hu". Most of them did not have blonde hair and yellow beards, but their eye color was indeed different from that of the "Wuhuan". It must be said that Sikong Yuehu's appearance was real enough.

He was tall to begin with, and although he couldn't be called burly, he didn't look like a weak scholar at all. At this moment, he was not wearing a long robe or a riding costume. He was handsome and dignified. The merchants of the Xianbei tribe were actually good at riding and shooting, and had practiced martial arts since childhood. Their temperament was actually close to that of the military. When Xinsujun changed his clothes, he completely lost his handsome and unrestrained temperament, and his appearance was not at all as handsome as his real appearance - this is not to say that the men of the Xianbei tribe are necessarily inferior to the Han people in appearance, but in order to cooperate with Yingshu's disguise, Xinsujun turned himself into a person with outstanding temperament but quite ordinary appearance.

Yingshu looked at the bronze mirror, then at Sikong Yuehu. Well, now they really looked like brother and sister.
