Chapter 22

Chengying was a little tired after a long day of driving. He was resting in an inn in a small town in the evening. He was about to rest when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He couldn't help but become alert, how could there be so many Miao people in such a small town all of a sudden?Blowing out the candles in the house, watching quietly by the window, I saw several carriages approaching the entrance of the inn, and the people alighting from them, both men and women, wore silver earrings, which is a characteristic of the Miao people. Both men and women wear earrings.But they are wearing Han Chinese clothes.

[These people have light steps and steady breathing, obviously they are all martial arts practitioners. 】Chengying thought to himself,【What is the purpose of coming here? 】

In the last carriage, a woman in fox fur was helped down, walked slowly to the front of the crowd, ordered people to hand over the money to the shopkeeper, spoke a few words to those people in Miao language, and then Into the inn.

"Princess Linglong?!" Chengying thought to himself, that woman he recognized was Princess Linglong, the third prince's younger sister.She is a majestic princess, how could she appear in such a mountainous place, Chengying felt more and more that there must be something strange, so she changed into night clothes, covered her face with a black cloth, only her eyes and nose were exposed, broke out of the window and went to the room On the top, under the cover of night, run on the rubble to find the room where those people live.

Princess Linglong said this to several Miao people who seemed to be the leaders in Miao language. Chengying couldn't understand the content of the words, but the map on the table made him roughly guess what they were talking about.On the table was the topographic map of the inn where the Fourth Prince lived in Bianzhou.

Yu Songling had just handed the sleeping Tang Ji into Tang Xuan's hands.It's strange to say that Tang Ji, the demon king of the world, is very obedient when he is in front of Yu Songling. As soon as he sees him, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and even eats more than usual. Yu Songling hugged him After taking a few shots, I immediately fell asleep obediently.Even Situ Rong couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "At such a young age, he already knows how to judge people by their appearance."

When Chengying appeared in front of his eyes, Yu Songling was taken aback for a moment, although he asked nervously: "What's wrong?"

Chengying told Yu Songling about the inn, Yu Songling sneered: "It seems that the third prince and the Miao people really colluded. Since they want to kill me, let them do it, and we will be ready , please enter the urn."

"Your subordinate will do it now." Chengying replied sharply, turning around to leave.

"You don't have to go." Yu Songling held him back, "Just leave this matter to Hua Yu. You have worked hard all the way, so take a good rest."

Yu Songling ordered Huayu to order everyone to evacuate from the inn, ambush guards around, and report immediately if there is any situation, and ordered the cook to cook porridge and bring a few light dishes to the room.

"Running all the way, let's eat something." Yu Songling walked across from Chengying, and said with a smile, "Situ Rong said that his son's appetite would get better when he saw me, so I want to see if he is lying to me." .”

Chengying couldn't help being amused, but looking at Yu Songling's slightly raised mouth and clear eyes, she was really pretty.

"Do I look appetizing?" Yu Songling said pretending to be innocent.

Chengying didn't answer, but the smile in his eyes grew stronger, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help laughing.

"These dishes are all made according to honest recipes, and they are said to nourish the body." Yu Songling put the dishes into Chengying's bowl.

"Thank you, Lord." Cheng Ying said hastily.

After dinner, someone came to report that everyone had withdrawn from the inn, waiting for Songling's order.

"What do you plan to do next?" Cheng Ying asked.

"It's not surprising that the third prince wants to kill me. I'm more concerned about the origins of those Miao people." Yu Songling said.

"Do you want to send someone to investigate?" Hua Yu asked.

"I'll go in person." As soon as Yu Songling said, he was opposed by everyone.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger cub, besides me, who among you can understand Miao language?" Yu Songling's unhurried words made the noisy crowd lose their breath. He was right. Yuan Guo and Miao Jiang had never been in contact, and even the ministers in the court rarely knew the Miao language, or it was for this reason that Princess Linglong, a daughter of gold, came to negotiate with the Miao people in person.

"I'll go with you." Cheng Ying said, "I can pretend to be dumb."

"I am coming too!"

"I'll go with you too! I can pretend to be dumb too."

"So many dumb people will make people more suspicious, I'll just go alone." Chengying said calmly, his words were full of firmness.

"This method is feasible, but you..." Yu Songling glanced at Chengying's still flat belly, and frowned slightly.

"I'm fine." Cheng Ying said firmly.

If Yu Songling's subordinates rank second in terms of martial arts, no one will dare to be the first. It is always safer to have him to take care of each other.Thinking of this, Yu Songling nodded: "Then Chengying will go with me."

Sure enough, three days later, the soldiers ambushing around the inn came to report, and several people wandered around the inn furtively.

"Order someone to cook in the inn." Yu Songling ordered.

The few people saw the smoke rising from the kitchen of the inn, and saw a few soldiers washing dishes in the yard, they glanced at each other and left.

In the middle of the night, the sound of the cold wind mixed with a few inaudible leaping sounds hit the inn.When the ignited bows and arrows were shot, the inn was full of flames, but it was still very quiet. At this time, the visitor felt that something was wrong.

"No! We've been tricked!" The leader suddenly shouted in Miao language, "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

When everyone retreated again, they found that they were surrounded by soldiers. Yu Songling gave an order, and the Yuan soldiers who had been ambushing all around jumped out one after another, beheading the sneak attackers.

Chengying took advantage of the chaos to grab two Miao people who were about the same size as him and Yu Songling, killed them, and put on their clothes.Yu Songling took out the two human skin masks Tang Xuan gave him, and put them on with Cheng Ying respectively, and the two Pianpian young masters instantly turned into sallow and emaciated middle-aged men.Can't help sighing: As expected of being the successor of Young Master Thousand Faces, this disguise technique is really superb.
