C5 (1/2)
This time, Xu Heng came to the Northern Tribes to borrow his identity as a merchant, while Luo Yi disguised herself as his servant, and acted as an interpreter. She lived at the border between the Northern Tribes and Li Kingdom, and had seen a lot of Northern Tribe merchants before the war between the two countries.
Xu Heng was actually a person who understood the words of the Northern Army, but since he had disguised himself as someone with extraordinary status, he naturally couldn't let down his guard.
The war between the Northern Tribes and Li Kingdom was on the verge of breaking out. While the Li Kingdom was under strict security, the Northern Tribes naturally had to guard against spies and spies.
”Letter from the wealthiest man in the Northern Tribes.”
”Huh?” Luo Yi was surprised: ”You even know this kind of person?”
She stared at Xu Heng suspiciously. Li Kingdom officials, and the wealthiest in the Northern Tribes, who knew how these two people hooked up!
Xu Heng could tell what she was thinking with a glance. He could not help but laugh, and his face revealed a little helplessness: ”What are you thinking about! The letter was forged. ”
”Aren't you being too daring!” Luo Yi was even more surprised: What if the guards find out?
Xu Heng laughed, and pointed to the stamp in the lower right corner of the envelope.
Luo Yi understood. ”Was it also forged by you?”
”No,” Xu Heng smiled as he took out a seal from his sleeves: ”This is real, I stole it from the Yu Yong Hall.”
So... Even if Yu Yong's men came to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it.
Following Xu Heng's plan, the two of them stayed in the Northern Tribes's best inn. Luo Yi rolled herself on the bed with the blanket, and only peeked her head out of the blanket after wrapping herself in a silkworm chrysalis.
Xu Heng turned a blind eye and casually picked up a book to read.
As a result, in just a few short days, everyone here knew that a merchant with a lot of money had come to the city and was fooling around with him and throwing silver notes around like paper.
Luo Yi followed behind him. She was so distressed that she wanted to strangle Xu Heng every time she went out to spend some money. However, Xu Heng didn't care and acted like a prodigal son when he said ”If you have enough money, you can give it to me”.
Leaving aside the fact that his actions were easily punished by the heavens, have you ever seen anyone become a spy so brazenly? You're not trying to self-destruct, are you?
Luo Yi had already started to think about the possibility of secretly killing Xu Heng and running away with his money.
It was just that before he even had the time to fully plan his next move, Xu Heng had already stood up from his chair, and casually rubbed his head as he laughed: ”Hey, the people we are waiting for are here.”
Luo Yi tilted her head to avoid his hand, and uncomfortably moved the dress around her body.
The clothes were bought for her by Xu Heng in the daytime. Her skin was even whiter now as she wore a goose yellow silk dress, and when she stood up and looked down, her snow-white neck was revealed.
As soon as he entered the infirmary, he was so enchanted by her beauty that he couldn't say anything for a long time.
He stared at the person in front of him, his gaze landing on Luo Yi, causing him to feel uncomfortable, so Luo Yi pretended to lower her head bashfully, and in fact scolded her in a low voice.
Even if he heard, he would probably praise her for her good nature. But when Xu Heng heard her, he gave her a look that was neither light nor heavy when he led her to a seat, and due to his identity, Xu Heng specifically told her to pay attention to what he was saying and not say anything immediately like before.
He was caught red-handed.
Luo Yi guiltily coughed twice, and the infirmary immediately came over: ”Miss, you've suffered a chill?”
”Tianliang from the north, this lady's clothes are really too thin.”
Luo Yi lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice.
The Lianzhou Hospital was a general guarding the border, and he had a lot of military merits. Unfortunately, at the royal banquet last year, he saw the beautiful appearance of the young daughter of the prime minister, so he suddenly became perverted and used his alcohol powers to tease her.
The Prime Minister's daughter had been living in her room for a long time, and she had just barely made it out of the house when she met this kind of situation. She wanted to die so badly so that her father could ask the Emperor for an explanation. The Prime Minister also felt that he had lost face, so he immediately joined the ministers to perform, requesting the Emperor to strip him of his position as an incorruptible doctor.
However, it was hard for the emperor to do the same.
It was true that the Medical Examiner was at fault, but his status in the military was not ordinary. He had done many meritorious deeds in the past few years, and if he were to be stripped of his position for such a small matter, it would inevitably cause the generals and brothers of the imperial court to feel a chill in their hearts. However, he could not leave this matter alone. It was really too ugly for the Prime Minister to wail every day in the imperial study. Coincidentally, when the emperor was in a dilemma, a report came from the front line saying that the General Liam had captured the Li Kingdom Emperor alive. As soon as the battle ended, he issued a long decree to the effect that it would be very difficult for the General Liam to serve the nation and the people. This battle had greatly hurt the spirit of the enemy, so he might as well take the opportunity to rest for a few days to recuperate. At the same time, he had ordered the Li Kingdom Emperor to stay in the General Liam Palace and look after him.
On the surface, this action seemed to be as good as taking over the military power of the Innocent Medical Seat, and imprisoning him in the Residence was giving the Prime Minister face. In truth, taking care of the Li Kingdom's emperor was not as important as taking care of him during the battle, and it also showed the Emperor's absolute trust in the General Liam, which could be said to be perfect for both of them.
Sure enough, the Prime Minister saw this and did not say anything more. He shouted ”We are wise” and left.
As for the incorruptible doctor, he had been out fighting all year round, just like a rough man, and because he was a famous street hoodlum before he entered the army, he had the heroic spirit of a martial artist, and he always liked to get to know some handsome men. Therefore, when he heard from the servants that such a bohemian had appeared in the city, he eagerly inquired about the other party's residence, and then brought back two jars of good wine.
Xu Heng's acting skills were superb, and he had completely cut off the extravagant acting skills of the rich family's children, so much so that even Luo Yi couldn't help but gasp in admiration.
She quietly sat on the side and poured wine for the two of them, then listened to Xu Heng's nonsense. Xu Heng had said that he was a merchant who had come with bad intentions, and had come to the Northern Tribes to discuss business matters. However, for some reason, the other party suddenly went back on their words and wished to raise the price.
