The Alluring Concubine: The Eldest Miss

Chapter 168 Return journey (2)

Both of them walked fast, Han Feng had no time to respond to her when he said this, walked a few steps in front of Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan, clasped his fists together, and said in unison: "Please refer to the lord, Missy!" .”

"Thanks for your hard work. We have read the battle report. You have completed the mission very well, but where is my father?" Feng Qiwu looked at Han Feng, "Didn't my father be rescued already? Why is there no one?"

Han Feng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Back to Miss, General Feng was severely tortured by those guys. His subordinates were afraid that his wounds would recur due to the exhaustion of the boat, so they arranged for someone to protect him and stay in Youzhou to recuperate temporarily. Take it back."

"Is my father seriously injured?" Feng Qiwu's face showed obvious worry. The Tiandimeng is not a good opponent, let alone deal with him. She is not surprised that he will do something to Feng Aotian, but anger and guilt are still involuntary. The bottom of her heart rose, almost igniting her whole body.

His left hand was held by a big warm hand, Feng Qiwu went to see Shen Youliehan, but the latter said to Hanyu: "You set off for Youzhou immediately, and you must cure General Feng in the shortest possible time to ensure that his Return to Beijing safely."

Han Yu stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate promises to complete the task." Then he said to Feng Qiwu: "Miss, please rest assured, this subordinate will definitely bring a lively General Feng back to Beijing to see you! "

Feng Qiwu heard the words and said sincerely: "Thank you, please!"

Han Yu was not polite either, and saluted Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan, took a deep look at Han Xue, then turned and left the door.

After Han Yu left, Shen Youliehan asked the two of them to sit down, and then said to Han Yun and Han Feng: "Is there an increase in the number of casualties compared to what Han Mo reported?"

"There are some, but not many. On the way back to escort Shangguanyan, someone tried to rob him. The four hidden guards who guarded Shangguanyan first were caught off guard. Only one of the four survived and was seriously injured. When Han Yun was cleaning up the battlefield, he was attacked by the enemies hiding in the dark room, and a few were broken." Han Feng reported earnestly.

Han Yun nodded in agreement with Han Feng's words, and waited until he finished speaking before saying: "The loss of personnel is like this, but the subordinates feel that those people are not here to rob Shangguanyan, but to kill people to silence them."

"How do you say it?" Feng Qiwu opened his mouth, thinking of the men in black who had exhausted all their efforts in the morning to assassinate those captives, a strange thought faintly appeared in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, and it was very chaotic.

Han Yun looked at Han Feng, and then said: "Because only Han Feng and Han Mo knew the identity of Shangguanyan when we came back, and no one else knew. The guards guarding him were also ordinary secret guards, and all three of them were killed. Only one survived due to heavy bleeding. According to him, those assassins had no intention of taking Shangguanyan away after killing the guards, and their weapons all went straight to Shangguanyan's vitals. Fortunately, the assassin fled in a hurry after being discovered by the colleagues in front, otherwise Shangguan Yan might have received the sword not on the arm but on the heart."

"Why don't I know about this? When did the hidden guard wake up?" Han Feng looked at Han Yun with a confused face, obviously ashamed of his conclusion which was very different from Han Yun's.

Feng Qiwu didn't mind, he smiled slightly and said: "Okay, it's no fault if you don't know, you are tired from traveling all the way, go down, wash up, eat something, have a good rest, and set off for Beijing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, miss." The two of them responded in unison, and they went far away, Feng Qiwu and the others could still hear the sound of cold wind attacking Han Yun.

Feng Qiwu smiled helplessly, looked sideways at Shen Youliehan, "What do you think of this Shangguan's words?"

"Resurrecting from death is a complicated master." Shen Youlie said with emotion, and suddenly looked up at Han Mo: "Where is Shangguanyan now?"

Han Mo immediately said: "It's in the guest room on the second floor, but he doesn't know our identities yet."

"It's good that he doesn't know our identities." Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan looked at each other, making sure that the other party's thoughts were the same as theirs, and then asked, "Have Shangguanyan seen you?"

"I've seen it." Although Han Mo didn't know why, he still answered Feng Qiwu.

But I heard Feng Qiwu say: "It's good that you have seen him, you go and take him to the lobby on the first floor, and say that we have something to ask him for help."

"Yes, miss." Han Mo responded quickly after hearing the words, and went out, Feng Qiwu said to Han Xue: "You go and call Long Xuan, and by the way, ask someone to move the dead Shangguanyan to the first floor In the lobby."

"Understood, miss, but it is unknown whether the identity of Shangguanyan is true or not. You and the prince should be careful when you meet him." Han Xue is smart, and when Feng Qiwu asked Han Mo to find Shangguanyan, she guessed Feng What Xiwu wanted to do, she didn't doubt Feng Qiwu's thoughts, but she couldn't help reminding her.

Feng Qiwu nodded and said: "Don't worry, even if he isn't the real Shangguanyan on my territory, he won't be able to cause much trouble."

When Shangguanyan was brought out by Han Mo, Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan also went downstairs, Han Mo saw the two went downstairs and immediately introduced: "Master Shangguan, these two are my masters."

"The two must be the King of Hanjiang and Princess Duanhua. This old man, Lord Protector of the Northern Qi Dynasty, said that he would like to thank the two for saving their lives. When the old man returns to the court, he will definitely report to my emperor and thank you for your help." Shangguan said He is dressed in black, his hair is all tied up, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and he has a goatee. He speaks with full bearing, and he looks like he is from a family.

Now Feng Qiwu looked like an ignorant little girl again, blinking his big eyes and said: "Master Shangguan is so amazing, how do you know our identities?"

Shangguan said with a textbook smile, "Don't be surprised, Princess Duanhua. The old man was kidnapped in Liangzhou. The front line of Tianhua Jiangbei has always been the residence of General Ling Zunfeng. Some time ago, during the battle between Tianhua and Nanliang, King Hanjiang Also stationed in Jiangxia, although the old man was blindfolded after being hijacked, he vaguely remembers that he went north. Since he did not go to Nanliang, anyone who dared to take people from Tiandimeng in Tianhua territory, and was capable of taking people from Tiandimeng Only His Royal Highness Han Jiang is left."

"Your Excellency Shangguan is overrated. It is our responsibility that the mission encountered an accident in Tianhua territory. It's a pity that out of the 300-odd envoys, only a few dozen survived. It's great that Lord Shangguan is still alive!" Feng Qiwu grinned. Blinking back Shen Youlie coldly, "You mean it, my lord?"

Shen Youliehan, who was pushed, said helplessly, "It's a good thing for one more person to live, but it's really rare for Mr. Shangguan to be so calm when he enters and exits the land of tigers and wolves."

"King Hanjiang laughed. Although this old man is not as good as Jiang Taigong, he is not as good at sitting on a fishing boat as Jiang Taigong is, but he has been in the court for more than [-] years, and he has some experience, so he will not panic. Just now the guard said that the two of you have something to look for. The old man is helping, I don’t know why?”

Shangguanyan showed some doubts on his face as he spoke, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing. If there was not a dead Shangguanyan, this person's Shangguanyan would definitely be able to score full marks.

When Feng Qiwu heard Shangguan's words, he seemed to have just remembered, he slapped his head and said suddenly: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot, I asked Han Mo to find Mr. Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan, look , there is a person here who looks exactly like you, and he was found in the team of envoys, don't you think it's amazing?!"

Feng Qiwu said as he pulled Shen Youlie to the side of King Han and retreated, looking at Shangguanyan with interest, like a little girl who showed the strange things she discovered to adults.

Shangguanyan was thinking about what kind of medicine these two people were selling in the gourd, but he was dumbfounded when he saw the corpse on the ground: "Well, what's going on here?"

"To be honest, I am also very surprised that Lord Shangguan came back from the dead." Shen Youliehan said calmly, without any surprised expression on his face. Lord Shangguan came back to life, although it is a good thing, but it is too unbelievable, so this king asked Lord Shangguan to come and verify in person, who is the real Shangguanyan."

"This is a big matter. It is right for the prince to be cautious, but if the identity of the official is confirmed, please help me to bring the surviving envoys back to the country." Shangguan was unspeakably surprised. Lie Han's words directly changed his claim, and there was no smile on his face.

Shen Youlie nodded, "It's natural."

Shangguan supported his beard and said: "Since this is the case, I also want to return to the country as soon as possible. I don't know what method the prince wants to use to verify my integrity?"

"The easiest way to verify the body is Mr. Shangguan is to ask other members of the mission to identify it. What do you think, Mr. Shangguan?" Shen Youliehan grabbed Feng Qiwu who was about to run to see the corpse, and refused to let him go. As he walked away, he calmly negotiated with Shangguan.

Feng Qiwu wanted to see if there was any trace of human skin mask or medicine on the face of the dead Shangguanyan, but Shen Youliehan's hand was like a big pliers, and she couldn't get it off after struggling for a long time. Angrily, he could stand on the spot and secretly pinch the thin flesh of Shen Youliehan's waist in order to retaliate.

Fortunately, Han Xue called Long Xuan and a few envoys who were able to get out of bed to come, Feng Qiwu finally let Shen Youliehan go, turned around and said to Han Xue: "Let them come over and identify .”

Han Xue nodded, and said to Long Xuan and his party sideways: "Masters, Mr. Shangguan is the leader of your mission this time, but there are two Mr. Shangguan here, please identify them and see who has died. Is this the real one, or the one standing here is the real Shangguan."

"Ah, two Shangguan lords, what is going on?"

"That's right, isn't Lord Shangguan already killed, why did another one pop up?"

"They look exactly the same, which one is real?"

······
There were only five envoys who could get out of bed and walk, but now the chatter was causing headaches, and it was Long Xuan who raised his hand to interrupt them, only to see Long Xuan raised his right hand slightly, and said: "Comrades, Shangguan My lord has been with me for more than a month, even if we are not very familiar with you, at least we know each other, since everyone can't tell which one is the real lord Shangguan, how about letting lord Shangguan identify us?"

"Okay, okay, that's a good idea!" The five people responded to Long Xuan's words with admiration.

Long Xuan glanced at Feng Qiwu, and got a signal before saying: "Master Shangguan, you are not good at being an official, and I am honored to go to Nanliang as envoys with Mr. Shangguan. I wonder if Mr. Shangguan remembers being an official?"

"Isn't Long Shilang confused? You were promoted by me personally. How can you not recognize me?" Shangguan said jokingly, "I think I was your examiner when you took the exam in Chunwei, and now it's considered a feng shui turn." Come on, it's your turn to test me."

"This is a big matter. I'm considering the great plan of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Please forgive me, my lord!" Long Xuan knelt down on one knee and said, "Long Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, sees the Lord Protector. I have offended you a lot before. Please, my lord. Forgive me!"

This move by Long Xuan was equivalent to acknowledging Shangguan Yan's identity. Shangguan Yan smiled and bent over to help him: "What did Long Shilang say? It's not in vain to be so calm after going through such a huge change in just a few days. I broke the rules and promoted you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Rituals within one year."

When the flowers fell, Shangguan said, clasping his fists to the remaining five people: "Everyone escaped death, I can understand the worries in your heart, and when you return to Northern Qi, I will do my best to protect your lives."

"Thank you, Mr. Shangguan!" No one responded in unison, and the whole process of verifying the body was over after only one person asked some questions.

Feng Qiwu took a look at Shen Youliehan, saw that he had been contemplating with his eyebrows fixed, and didn't say anything, so he said: "Since Long Shilang has verified the identity of Mr. Shangguan, please go back to the guest room to rest, Mr. Shangguan. , The meal will be delivered to the room by the servants later, the safety issue here, Lord Shangguan can rest assured, he will send someone to send Lord Shangguan and the envoys back to Northern Qi tomorrow morning, what does Lord Shangguan think?"

"The princess's arrangement is appropriate, so I can sit back and enjoy it." Shangguan said with some jokes, Feng Qiwu nodded with a smile, and didn't speak any more.

The lobby on the first floor returned to tranquility, but Feng Qiwu's doubts grew more and more, so that when Shen Youliehan led her upstairs, he stepped on the air and directly bumped into Shen Youliehan's arm. With the arm in front of him, Feng Qiwu asked subconsciously, "Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

"If I don't stop, are you planning to bump into the stairs or fall down?" Shen Youliehan said with his eyes and motioned Feng Qiwu to look at his feet.

Feng Qiwu naturally knew what was going on without looking at him, he took Shen Youliehan's arm and walked up the Wanglou, and said by the way: "You said that a dignified first-rank protector was pretended to be, why didn't he react at all? , Once the identity is verified, shouldn't he be curious about pretending to be his identity, this is too strange, is there really someone who is so open-minded?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Feng Qiwu frowned so much that he could almost pinch a mosquito to death.

Shen Youliehan directly pulled her to turn around and go downstairs, Feng Qiwu didn't stop under his feet, but he asked in doubt: "Why, where are you taking me?"

"You can't figure it out, so let's go and see who is this person pretending to be Shangguanyan." While Shen Youliehan was speaking, Hanxue also came down. Do you want someone to move the body out first?"

"No, just take a look, it won't take too long, and it won't take too much effort." Feng Qiwu quickly accepted the setting of going to see the corpse, and quickly ordered Han Xue: "Have someone fetch a basin of water and cotton Par."

After ordering Han Xue not to care whether she left or not, Feng Qiwu immediately asked Shen Youliehan, "What method would you adopt if you disguised yourself as another person?"

"The most commonly used ones are of course human skin masks. The human skin masks made by the old man Wu Ya can almost be confused with the real ones. Cold Rain is even better than blue. If someone really uses a human skin mask to disguise themselves, they should not be able to escape the cold rain. Eye."

When Shen Youliehan answered Feng Qiwu's question, he almost ruled out the first possibility that Feng Qiwu suspected.

Feng Qiwu was not discouraged, and asked: "Then what else?"

"Then there's the drug disguise. Use the concocted concoction and apply it on the face to reshape the facial features. This method of disguise is more conservative than the human skin mask, but it's also more difficult to implement. I know no one who knows how to do it." A few." Shen Youliehan frowned and said, and he had already counted the people he knew who would be disguised by this drug.

Lan Xin's voice sounded from behind the two of them, "Shouldn't you come to me for this kind of thing, why bother?"

"Aunt Lan, why are you here? It's dirty and cold, we can do it ourselves." Feng Qiwu said as if to persuade Lan Xin to leave, but Shen Youliehan said: "I forgot, Aunt Lan is also a drug A master of disguise, why not come over and see if this person's disguise level can meet Aunt Lan's eyes?"

"I came here for this purpose, but." Lan Xin frowned and looked at Shangguan Yan for a long time, "This person has not changed his face."

"No disguise?" Shen Youliehan and Feng Qiwu asked in unison, and Lan Xin nodded affirmatively.

The two looked at each other, remembering Shangguan Yan's abnormal behavior just now, Feng Qiwu took Shen Youliehan with his left hand, and Lan Xin with his right hand and walked out "Aunt Lan, if someone has a change of face, but can't get close to observe, can you figure it out?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. You want me to see the living Shangguanyan?" The long-standing tacit understanding allowed Lan Xin to guess her purpose after hearing the first half of Feng Qiwu's sentence.

"That's right." Feng Qiwu nodded, turned and walked out, the morgue is not a good place, although she doesn't mind coming here for business, but since it has been proved that the Shangguan's words are true, then there is no need to stay here any longer up.

Lan Xin walked out first, and said casually: "It's okay to take a look, but if the Tiandimeng made such a big sacrifice just to let Shangguanyan steal the boat, would it mean that the General Feng they rescued was also a fake, after all they Did you kidnap General Feng for no reason before?"

Feng Qiwu's forward footsteps stopped suddenly, and Shen Youliehan behind almost bumped into her. When Hanxue came over with water, seeing Feng Qiwu and others had already come out, she said in amazement: "Come out so quickly, Is that guy in Missy real?"

"It's true." Feng Qiwu was brought back to his senses by Han Xue, and he raised his foot and continued to walk forward, "Han Yu healed my father's wounds and understood all of my father's bodily functions. When Yu arrives in Youzhou, he will soon find out that we need to discuss a new countermeasure to help him deal with it.”
