It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The kind of beauty she possessed was different from any other girl Lid had ever seen. It should have been a kind of morbid beauty, but on Huang Yan, there was no trace of morbidity. She seemed to be born without being stained by the dirt of the world. Her skin was so white that you could clearly see the blood vessels in it. When her pink lips were bitten by her pearly teeth, there was no trace of blood.

Reed stared into Huang Yan's eyes, calculating the gains and losses of this action.

There is no doubt that bringing Huang Yan into Lingwu would be an extremely dangerous thing.

But it's not without benefits, at least it will be interesting.

Lid smiled and said to Huang Yan:

"Stay here for a day today. I'll take you to Lingwu tomorrow."

"Kindness without saying thanks."

Huang Yan was not hypocritical. He bowed his head to thank him and stood up from the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and gently touched Lid's heart with his fist. He said to Lid:

"Godfather, I am your witness. From today on, we are brothers."

Lid nodded and replied:

"Ah."

After a pause, he added:

"But tomorrow during the day, you have to be my wife first."

21. True Makeover

Alayya was struck by lightning.

Alayya was distraught.

Alayya is unconscious.

Alayya can't get up again.

Shiloh gently inserted the small flower that decorated the cake tonight into Alaya's golden hair, clasped his hands together, prayed that there would be no more bad women in the world who could fascinate Reed, and then covered the quilt again. Of course, Reed also shamelessly squeezed onto the bed, Shiloh made room for him, then hugged his arm and fell asleep again.

Although Lide explained to Huang Yan that this was just a pretense, Huang Yan refused to sleep in the same bed with Lide and others. After Lide fell asleep, she put on her hood again, pulled up her collar to cover her face, stood in front of the window and stared at the night quietly, her eyes reflecting the moonlight.

The next day, after eating the cabbage and potato stew that Alayya had carefully prepared, Reed officially announced the start of the battle plan.

——Luckily the tip of the pen does not speak ~ Knowing that I have copied a stroke ~ It is difficult to describe the surname and name of the painting ~

——Why not touch your eyebrows in the mirror~

Li De had taught He Yue to sing these lines before, but because He Yue sang so well, every time he sang it, Li De would burst into tears and hug her, so Li De stopped him from singing.

Touching her eyebrows in front of the mirror, that is, dressing up, is Reed's entire battle plan for the day.

Question! How many steps are there to send Huang Yan to Lingwu? Answer: It can be divided into three steps. The first step is to kill all the Anbu organizations in Lingwu; the second step is to send Huang Yan in openly; the third step is to kick the Lingwu lord on the butt and tell her that she did it herself and that she should keep her dissatisfaction to herself——

Of course, all of the above are Reed's good wishes, but in reality he can't do any of them.

If he couldn't force his way through, he could only resort to roundabout tactics. His identity could be changed, but Huang Yan's appearance was too unique. Although Huang Yan himself said that few people had seen this face, Lid couldn't guarantee that there were no Lingwu Hidden Guards among them. After all, it would take half a day to describe someone else's appearance, but to describe Huang Yan, only one word "white" would do. If anyone leaked a little information, the Lingwu Hidden Guards would be very likely to recognize Huang Yan.

To be on the safe side, Lid decided to use makeup, one of the four great evil arts, to completely change Huang Yan's appearance.

The first step is to perm and dye your hair. White hair is still too eye-catching in Lingwu. When you walk on the street, you will get at least 50% of the people turning their heads to look at you. The guards will even take a few more glances when they see you. Lide decided to change his fate. Although his hair was born this way, he could still artificially turn it black if he believed in science.

It took the whole morning to perm, dye and dye her hair. After lunch, Lid started to help her put on makeup.

Drawing eyebrows and eyes is a basic operation. Huang Yan's eyebrows are also pure white, so Li De had to shave them manually and then draw them. Fortunately, Huang Yan's eyelashes are colored, so Li De only needs to help her draw the eyeliner. But the process of drawing eyeliner is actually very tedious. You need to curl the eyelashes first, then lift the eyelids, and draw gently section by section. After drawing, you have to slowly trim it.

In fact, Li De was already very skilled in drawing eyeliner for himself, but it was completely different when drawing for others. He had to be very careful, otherwise he would lose control of the strength, or if Huang Yan moved a little, the eyeliner in Li De's hand might poke her eyes.

So Lid could only get very close and carefully perform his micro-manipulation, while Huang Yan sat there motionless like a wooden man. Their faces were almost touching, and Lid held her chin with one hand, but no one thought there was anything wrong.

Only Alayya and Shiloh were sitting on the bed not far away, watching the situation here silently.

Compared to the expressionless Alayya, Shiloh looked much more natural. Her little feet that couldn't reach the ground were dangling in the air. She was holding a box of fresh cut fruits in her hands. She was using toothpicks to pick up pieces of fruit drizzled with honey and putting them into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging with stuffing.

After finishing the painting, Lid stared at Huang Yan for a while and said:

"No, your eyes are too distinctive. When you look at me, I feel a chill down my spine. I don't think that's possible."

Huang Yan asked:

"Then should I close my eyes? Or pretend to be dead in the car?"

"Wouldn't that make it easier to arouse suspicion?"

Lid complained, raised two fingers and said:

"First, the eye color needs to be changed. The current color is too cold. Second, the look in the eyes cannot be as fierce as before. It needs to be a little gentler."

Huang Yan tilted his head:

"I can try to change the look in my eyes, but I can't change my eye color."

“That’s fine, actually.”

Lid took out a box from his arms and opened it to reveal two thin chips:

"Depend on the beauty contact lenses."

This thing is quite common in Lid's original world, but it is absolutely rare in this world. Except for Lid who has nothing to do every day in Yuxi City, no one has the time to make this kind of thing. Lid tried it because Bai Huang said she wanted to make her eyes have a more beautiful color, but traditional cosmetics could not do it, so Lid wanted to fulfill her wish.

Huang Yan took some effort to put the contact lenses on her eyes. She even put them on the wrong way once, leaving only a tiny dot on her pupil, which made Li De laugh for a long time. After Huang Yan got used to the contact lenses, Li De began to put some blush and lipstick on her face. After all, she looked too pale now, without any blood color at all.

After that, I added some jewelry. I added a few earrings and a necklace. As for the ring, Li De would not let anyone put it on, so he gave it to Huang Yan to put on by herself.

"Done, just let Alayya take you to change clothes later."

After finishing the operation, Lid patted the powder off his hands, took a mirror from the side and handed it to Huang Yan.

Huang Yan took a tentative look inside and almost didn't recognize who was in the mirror -

She had beautiful black hair parted in the middle, fashionable eyebrows, warm brown eyes, pink cheeks, rosy and elastic lips, sapphire earrings that tilted when she moved her head, and a sparkling necklace. Her original fierce aura was temporarily suppressed.

In a word, as long as Huang Yan doesn't say anything, no one will feel uncomfortable if Reed says now that she is a virtuous and quiet noble lady.

It can't be said that it is better than the original painting, because Huang Yan's natural appearance is already extremely beautiful. What Lid did was just to color her, making her beauty more colorful and less monotonous.

"That's great~ I hope I can have some color someday~"

The little slime sighed as it crawled down Lid's legs all the way to Lid's shoulders.

Reed took the unused lipstick and gave it a flaming red lipstick.

22. Enemies meet again on a narrow road

As it turned out, it was fortunate that Li De started to put makeup on Huang Yan a day in advance. The next morning, someone from Lingwu came to inform him that Li De had to take people over for examination, and it was too late for him to get up and put on makeup.

At present, there were no acquaintances of Lid in the Jubei Inn. Velot also passed the inspection and entered the Lingwu territory the day before. Lid only said hello to the cook named Yu Yan.

Yu Yan spoke to him in his half-familiar classical Chinese as usual:

"It's not easy for you to go north to Lingwu today. There are many dangers, so be careful. Don't be impulsive. When you meet Master Hei, the situation will naturally get better."

Lid nodded, and left the Jubei Inn with Huang Yan, Alaiya, Xi Luo and the little slime. At first, Huang Yan was indeed a little nervous, and her walking posture was a little stiff, but she was the leader of the southern uprising army after all, and she still had a big heart. After starting to line up, Huang Yan had already returned to her normal expression.

"Hualiang Territory, 6 leaders, 33 followers..."

After the soldier in front read a sentence, he began to check according to a detailed process. The car board, car shed, carriage, cargo hold, etc. were all subject to strict inspection, and even the people present were subject to body searches.

The body search in Lingwu is very formal. There will naturally be corresponding female officials in charge of the female relatives of the visitors, and there will be no situation where male soldiers take the opportunity to take advantage of them. Of course, if the female official in question has a hidden lesbian attribute, she may indeed be able to take advantage.

Reed felt that Bai Huang would definitely be willing to work in this industry.

The people in front of Lid were from Hualiang's territory, but Lingwu had more people, so they could allocate enough people to check here before Hualiang's territory was fully checked. The soldier read aloud:

"Next one, Yuxicheng——"

He glanced at the list in his hand and found that there was no record of the number of people.

This is also normal. Lingwu did not stipulate how many people must be brought. The number of people read by the soldiers before was counted by Tiance Mansion. If you come by flying dragon, you must register the number of people heading north at the pick-up point. Lide did not take the flying dragon, so Lingwu naturally did not receive the corresponding report.

So the soldier took the initiative to step forward, walked to Lid's carriage, and asked:

"How many people are there?"

Lid smiled and said:

"Including the two drivers, there are six people in total."

The soldier shook his head and said directly to the two people driving the carriage in front:

"As for the driver, Lingwu will make unified arrangements, so please go back to Jubei Inn and wait, or go back to Yuxi City on your own. Lingwu's topography is very complex, transportation is interconnected, and there is snow all year round. If you are not a local driver or a frequent trader, you will not know how to get here."

The two drivers looked at each other without moving. Lid's smile remained unchanged as he said to the soldier:

"No need, these two have been to Lingwu many times and know the way."

He took off a sign from his waist, handed it to the soldier calmly, and said:

"They were originally the drivers of this caravan. You should recognize this brand. If you don't, you can call the senior members of the Secret Guard to ask."

The soldier took the sign from Lid and took a look at it. His expression suddenly became serious. He handed the sign back to Lid with both hands. Although his expression was still cold, his voice was more respectful. He said:

"No need, I recognize it. Since it's the carriage from Yuxi City, we won't bother with it. We'll have to trouble the two drivers brought by the city lord to drive the carriage. If anything unexpected happens, you can ask our Lingwu patrol team for help. As long as you tell them your identity, they will help with most of the things."

Reed nodded and thanked him.

The badge he gave to the soldiers was actually the ID badge of the Yuxicheng caravan. However, this caravan was not an ordinary caravan. It was responsible for transporting high-quality steel to Lingwu. Only if Yuxicheng delivered the goods on time, Lingwu would have enough steel to produce compressed magic cannons to resist the threat of the northern giants. Therefore, this caravan was very important to Lingwu. The top secret guards had specially informed the people below, asking them to give appropriate convenience to those who saw the person holding this badge.

The reason why Lide used this privilege was to avoid the two spies from Lingwu An**. Huang Yan would definitely not follow Lide all the time after entering Lingwu. If someone from Lingwu was watching her, it would be difficult for her to find a chance to jump out of the car halfway.

Reed glanced at the soldiers in charge of checking around him and found that the highest level among them was just above the ninth level. It was actually enough to deal with general searches, but it should be difficult for them to notice anything unusual on Huang Yan. Overall, he was still quite stable.

Just when he was making a good plan, an angry voice suddenly came from the front:

"Why do we in Hualiang Territory have to change drivers? Do we have to live under your surveillance after entering Lingwu? How can this be justified?! Besides, why don't they, a small place like Yuxi City, have to abide by such rules? Why do you want us, the great Hualiang Territory, to listen to you? I think you just want to extort money!"

As he spoke, the young man leading the group from Hualiang turned around and called out to Lid:

"Hey, how much money did you give them? Tell us all! Don't do something sneaky by yourself. It will harm the interests of Hua Liang! At worst, we can all pay the money. Hey, how much did you give? Tell us!"

Lid was too lazy to argue with him, so he asked the soldiers in front of him to start searching. He still planned to pass quickly and enter Lingwu territory as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the higher the risk of Huang Yan being exposed.

But Mr. Hua Liang was unyielding. He must have just happened to hear what the soldiers on Lid's side said. He immediately became dissatisfied and got out of the car and pushed the soldier who was responsible for searching him, scolding:

"The Lord of Lingwu just supports you guys? You dare to blackmail us. Who is your boss? Find your boss! I want to see who dares to protect you today! Otherwise, let's go to the Lord of Lingwu and see what explanation he will give!"

The soldier in front of Lid glanced over there and said to Lid expressionlessly:

"I'll arrange for someone to check your side first. I don't know how long it will take for Hua Liang to finish handling the case. There are still many people waiting in line behind us. We can't let the conflict in a certain territory delay other people's schedules."

Lid nodded, and just as he opened the car curtain, he heard a cold male voice behind him:

"What do you mean? Lingwu is different from other territories. Anyone who causes trouble here, regardless of their status, will be punished according to Lingwu's laws. That's what we mean."

Reed was thinking that the voice seemed a little familiar, when he turned around and saw the trio he really didn't want to see.

The first palace is King Qin Guang, the second palace is King Chu Jiang, and the ninth palace is King Ping Deng.

These were the three people who came to take Shiloh's life and fought with Lid in Rivet City!

The one who just spoke was the most powerful King Qin Guang, followed by King Chu Jiang and King Pingdeng. King Pingdeng was the first to recognize Li De. She was stunned for a moment, and then her beautiful eyes gave a look to the soldier in charge of the search. The soldier in charge of the search immediately stopped and waited for the Ten Kings of Hell, who were second only to the Hidden Guard, to deal with the matter.

Li De suddenly wanted to beat up Master Hua Liang, strip him of his clothes and hang him on the city gate.

23. This is the hostess of Yuxi City

Reed was really convinced.

No, Hualiang Territory reported that your Lingwu people were accepting bribes. This is a grudge between the two of you. What does it have to do with me?

...Oh, there is a grudge between us, so it's okay.

King Qin Guang walked up to Master Hua Liang with a cold face, his face was as gloomy as a cumulonimbus cloud covering the sky. As the head of the Ten Hells and a master who had reached the ninth level of the assassin path, his aura was completely different from that of the soldiers before.

Mr. Hua Liang was stared at by his cold eyes. For a moment, the chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head, and he could hardly speak clearly:

"You Lingwu, you are collecting bribes..."

Those who can be sent to Lingwu to participate in the Northward Journey are naturally not completely useless. When Master Hua Liang said this, he immediately gained some courage in his heart. What about Lingwu Territory? What about the Ten Kings of Hell? Do you dare to offend the public and become enemies with all the territories in the world?

"I just entered your Lingwu, and I was forced to change the driver. Is this how you treat guests in Lingwu? If all the territories treat them equally, I have nothing to say, but why doesn't that guy use the same method? Your soldiers never looked at me straight in the eye from beginning to end, but they acted obedient to him, and you still dare to say that you didn't take any bribes?!"

After Hua Liang finished speaking, he put his hands on his hips, trying to pretend to be confident. He really didn't want to offend the Ten Kings of Hell, after all, that group of people had already been notorious for their evil deeds.

It is rumored that when the Ten Kings of Hell act together, the sun, moon, and stars will lose their color, and not many people can defend against their assassination.
