Both of them were very excited. After splashing onto the shore from the water, they couldn't care less about the biting cold that wet their bodies and hurriedly tried to open the oil paper package with trembling hands.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the side: "Wait a moment."

Wu Xi and Dan Ji subconsciously stopped. They turned their heads and looked at Chen Baiqi, with forced patience in their eyes and obvious doubts on their faces.

Perhaps it was because Chen Baiqi had given them the impression of being too wise before, and with the accuracy accumulated layer by layer, he finally found what they were dreaming of without any mistakes. Even though there were still many ambiguities and suspicions between them, they still felt for her in their hearts.

A kind of nameless conviction was formed.

Therefore, even though they were eager to reveal the authenticity of the "Chongqing Military Defense Map" in their hands, they still stopped abruptly.

Dan Ji licked Bing Lingling's lips, and his voice trembled slightly: "What?" he asked cautiously and in confusion.

Wu Xi, on the other hand, tensed his body and stared at her quietly, waiting for her to explain the reason.

Chen Baiqi glanced at the things in their hands and said in a light voice: "Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but there is a saying that sails with caution to sail a thousand-year ship. We might as well imagine more, if there are deep meanings in the pictures, like fierce tigers

"Bite off the arm, which actually implies that the arm is long. The woman hit the bird with a stone, but the stone was still in her hand and was not thrown. So why is the bird's wings stained with blood and injured?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

Yes, they have never noticed this detail, and even if they have noticed it, they have never thought about the reason. They just assumed that it was caused by the confusion in writing when the old man was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

But what if that's not the case... What if there really is something else?

Wu Xi muttered in a daze: "The broken arm hints at the specific location of the formation map. The blood-stained bird wings, the defense map, are stained with blood..."

Suddenly shocked, he waved away Dan Ji's hand and carefully opened a layer of oilcloth. He saw that the bottom layer of cowhide was covered with a layer of tiny, down-like needles, and the tips of the needles were faintly green.

If an impatient person rashly pulls open the tarpaulin, he may be injured and bleed.

The wings are hands, and the blood-stained wings may refer to the hidden plot in the underwater defense plan.

"Why, why?" Dan Ji's face turned pale for a time, both because of the coldness in his body and the chill in his heart.

What he wanted to ask was why the poisonous needle was hidden under the oilcloth paper. Could it be that the boss was not afraid of accidentally hurting innocent people... When he thought about it, if the girl "Chen Rong" hadn't reminded him just now, he and Brother Wu might have been poisoned.

On the contrary, Wu Xi was much calmer. He had seen too many cruel and ruthless people, and he had also seen many people who would rather live in peace than live in ruins, so he guessed what the old man was thinking after just a little thought.

Chen Baiqi's face was still cold, like a gurgling stream under the night, unstained by dust: "If the old man can come up with such an ingenious layout in such a short period of time, he must not let the Chu people go. At the same time, he

He was also afraid that the Wei people would not be able to decipher the secret paintings he left in a short period of time, and that someone else would take them away by mistake, so he set up a poisonous barrier at the end. If those five paintings were not deciphered, ordinary people would be able to decipher them in the first time.

If you find it and open it, you will be greeted by death."

Dan Ji asked anxiously: "Isn't he afraid that he is one of his own..."

When Chen Baiqi heard Dan Ji ask this question, he couldn't help but look at him one more time. The look in his eyes was so straightforward that Dan Ji's expression froze.

"Human life may be priceless in the hearts of some people, but in the eyes of some people, it is just a choice between what should exist and what should not exist. That old man doesn't even value his own life, he just wants to complete this life in the end.

How can you care about sacrificing one or two other lives for your mission?"

Seeing that Dan Ji still had something to say, Wu Xi interrupted: "There is no need to say more about this matter. Now that we have obtained the defense plan, we must rush there day and night... to meet the young master."

Dan Ji opened his mouth. Although his expression was still a little frightened, he still did not pursue this topic any further.

Chen Baiqi heard Wu Xi mention "Young Master" and asked: "I wonder if this is the God of War of Wei - Young Master Zihuang?"

When Wu Xi heard her nostalgic tone, he paid more attention and said casually: "My sister-in-law's tone seems to be related to the young master Zihuang?"

Chen Baiqi shook his head and said: "Chen Rong doesn't have such an opportunity yet, but my brother has made a special trip to find the young master Zihuang. Here Chen Rong has an unkind request. I wonder if you two can wait one night and wait till tomorrow morning."

My brother and I will join together and go to see Prince Zihuang together?"

Dan Ji had previously heard "Chen Rong" mention that her brother was a disciple of Yuelu Academy, and her heart had been moved. Now when she heard that he was coming, she became interested and asked, "I wonder if your brother is..."

I wonder which famous figure in Yuelu Academy his brother is?

Chen Baiqi smiled brightly in his eyes, but he gave it a try: "Don't worry, you two will know when brother comes tomorrow."

Seeing what she said, the two of them would not be ignorant and forced to ask. Anyway, if they want to go on the road together tomorrow, they will meet each other.

After getting the "Chongqing Military Defense Map", Wu Xi felt a little absent-minded. He was anxious to report the matter to the summit, so he said: "Thank you Aunt Chen Rong for today's matter. Wu Xi is grateful. Again, if

If my sister-in-law encounters any difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to Wei to find me, Wu Xi."

Dan Ji also hurriedly said: "I am the same. If the war had not been tense at the moment, the military defense map of Chongqing was very important. I would definitely thank you two. I will never say thank you for your kindness."

Chen Baiqi said: "You two are serious. My brother has a close relationship with the young master Zihuang and can help him. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

Hearing what she said, Wu Xi's eyes flashed.

I don’t know whether this sister-in-law really doesn’t know the importance of this “Chongqing Military Defense Plan”, or whether she deliberately simplified its weight in order to draw closer the relationship between his brother and the young master Zihuang.

But no matter what, this time she helped a lot and made a great contribution, and she also saved his and Dan Ji's lives. Therefore, she asked them to wait one night and took them, who were not familiar with them, to see the young master.

It makes them feel embarrassed and unable to refuse.

Although I don't know who his brother is, looking at this sister-in-law's magnanimity and wisdom, we can deduce that his brother must be an extraordinary person. I just hope that bringing them brother and sister to meet the prince Zihuang this time is a blessing rather than a curse.

But Wu Xi is also confident in his own judgment about people. He believes that she will not lie. After all, even the "Chongqing Military Defense Plan" can be handed over to others, and she can't seek anything more important from them.

The two parties made an appointment in advance for a meeting place tomorrow. Wu Xi and Dan Ji left in a hurry, while Chen Baiqi and Ju went on a patrol along the stream.

"Ju, you go to the front and guard, I want to change clothes."

After hearing this, Ju was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Here."

When he heard her mention that "brother" would be coming tomorrow, Ju Bian guessed that she would return to male form, but to Ju, it didn't matter whether the girl was a boy or a girl, he only recognized her as this person.

But when Chen Baiqi truly transformed into "Chen Huanxian" and came out, Ju was still stunned when he looked at her.

There was no longer a scarf covering her face, and she revealed her incomparably handsome face. Regardless of her stature, limbs, and angular face, she looked like a young boy who was gradually transitioning into youth.

This, how is this done?

If it's just a simple disguise, can it change a person so completely?

Although her face is 70% or 80% similar to the female body, even the most familiar people would never identify her as the same person as the "Chen Rong" just now.

Because comparing the two, the gender boundaries between men and women are very clear and cannot be mistaken.

"Ju, now I am Chen Huanxian." She looked into his eyes and said softly.

Ju Yi didn't understand the meaning of her words for a moment. He just subconsciously answered: "As long as the girl wants to be Ju, Ju Yi will always only surrender to you."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Chen Baiqi held him up first.

Lifting his eyes to look at her, Chen Baiqi smiled brightly.

"Yeah, I want it."

——

The sky was slightly bright, and the morning star of the afterglow in the west hung in the sky. A group of scouts opened the old city gate and began to search around the city. It seemed that they had given up on the secret "snatching the snake" and started

A large-scale manhunt was launched. In addition to some troops in the city, there was also a leather cavalry, which seemed like an elite force transferred from the country. The situation inside and outside the city suddenly became serious.

Ju protected Chen Baiqi and hid in the darkness of the city gate, looking at the sentry in front: "Girl, we can no longer enter the city."

Chen Baiqi didn't care about this, she said: "I didn't intend to enter the city."

Juyan lowered his eyes: "But... what should we do with those two people?"

Wu Xi and Dan Ji sneaked into the city at night, presumably to deliver the information they had to the secret sentry in the city. Now that the city and outside are sealed and strictly investigated, it would be very difficult for them to sneak out of the city.

Chen Baiqi didn't appear anxious, she said calmly: "Wait, if they don't show up after the agreed time, then we will leave on our own."

Ju was puzzled: "Just give up like this?"

"I really want to hook up with Young Master Zihuang. After all, I can learn a lot of things I want to know from him, and the things I need to do through him will be much simpler and easier. But he is not the only choice."

Moreover, Chen Baiqi also believed that Wu Xi was not a fool. If he had not been confused about today's situation, he should have predicted it before he entered the city. If so, he still did this, which showed that he had enough confidence to deal with it.

So, she might as well wait patiently for them outside.

Seeing that Chen Baiqi didn't look worried, Juye looked paralyzed and said no more.

At this time, Chen Baiqi, who had been staring at the city gate, suddenly changed his expression, as if he had seen something impossible.

"Girl?" Ju noticed something strange about her, so he followed her line of sight and saw a group of strange and incompatible people coming from the gate of the city. Everyone surrounding a car looked like a mummy.

They didn't cover their faces like the people in the Central Plains who didn't want to reveal their identity, or wore cloaks and hoods to cover their faces. Instead, they directly used cloth strips to wrap their necks, faces, and arms in circles, except for a pair of eyes.

Not a single hair was exposed.

This level seems to be no longer a disguise, but some kind of ritual and normal life.

And their cart was not pulled by horses or oxen like the people of the time, but by a few stout stags, which further showed the uniqueness and... alternativeness of their group.

Chen Baiqi's expression suddenly became strange and unpredictable.

"how come……"
