The previous 4 of Hearts secret room "Speed Train" also had a costume change. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang changed into conductor's clothes together and stayed on the train for three days. Therefore, when Xiao Lou saw the prompt of "Role Assignment"
Lou was not surprised. He thought that maybe the 8 of Hearts secret room was also a special environment, requiring challengers to play some roles to facilitate solving the case.
There was darkness before his eyes, and the waiting time was obviously longer this time. After about half a minute, Xiao Lou regained his vision.
Xiao Lou sat up, rubbed his eyes, and quickly looked around - he was not in the familiar modern environment in front of him. He was in an antique bedroom, with a carved wooden bed, light-colored window curtains, wooden tables and chairs, and the room was filled with a light smell of smoke.
fragrant.
It’s okay if his teammates are not around. It’s not the first time that the Chamber of Hearts has separated teammates. But the question is, what’s going on with his floor-length dress? There are also complicated ribbons and patterns on the clothes, which are confusing to look at.
People have headaches.
Xiao Lou rolled out of bed and almost tripped over his clothes before taking two steps.
He quickly figured out that he had arrived in ancient times.
It seems that the plot of the 8 Hearts Secret Room is a story that took place in another era.
Xiao Lou had never worn ancient costumes before, and he was not used to it. He tugged on the hem of his skirt that was about to be dragged to the ground, stood firm, and quickly flashed a few lines of prompts in the transparent floating box in the upper right corner——
Welcome Xiao Lou to the 8 Hearts Secret Room.
There are four countries in this world. The country you are in is the Qi Dynasty, and the city you are currently in is Kyoto, the capital of Qi.
You have been assigned a special identity in this secret room. Please play your role well. If people in the secret room world notice that you are an outsider, you will fail to break through.
It is forbidden to kill aborigines in this secret room. All attack cards, control cards, and modern high-tech cards are banned. Please check your card pack for specific cards that can be used.
Xiao Lou opened the card pack and took a look. High-tech products such as hair dryers and rice cookers had all turned into "unusable" gray cards. Cards with control and attack skills, and some skills were also disabled.
Obviously, this secret room requires challengers to use their brains to solve puzzles, rather than using various cards to cheat.
Xiao Lou slid the floating frame with his finger, and two rows of text popped up immediately——
Identity introduction: Xiao Lou, his father is a well-known author, and his mother is a well-known doctor. He has studied with his parents since he was a child, and he has experience in traditional Chinese medicine and autopsy. His younger brother joined the army and went on an expedition with General Zhengxi three years ago. His whereabouts are unknown. There are no other relatives at home.
When you were 16 years old, you rescued a talented man in Jiangzhou who was going to Beijing to take the exam. This man later became the number one scholar in high school and became a celebrity in front of the Holy Emperor. He was grateful for your life-saving grace and married you as his wife. The couple treated each other with respect.
Very loving.
Ten days ago, the governor of Jiangzhou died of illness. Your husband has been entrusted by His Majesty and is about to go to Jiangzhou to take office.
The story will take place in your hometown Jiangzhou, please be prepared
The more Xiao Lou looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong - Husband? Marry you as your wife? This ace of hearts is so crazy that he pretends to be a woman?!
No wonder I felt something was wrong as soon as I opened my eyes. There was a dressing table and a bronze mirror in the room. The clothes on my body looked like a woman's long skirt. My hair was very long, and there seemed to be a lot of hairpins on it.
Xiao Lou hurriedly picked up the bronze mirror.
Sure enough, he changed into women's clothes. The "woman" in the mirror had her long black hair tied up in a simple bun behind her head and an elegant wooden hairpin. Her face was fair and delicate, with soft eyebrows and eyes. She looked very "
The appearance of being well-informed and sensible.
Xiao Lou could not wait to bump into the mirror.
This secret room was really weird. The role-playing even had to change gender. He couldn't help but wonder, would Team Yu also change into women's clothing? What identities would the other teammates be assigned?
Since they opened the secret room at 23:55, after entering the secret room, all the card skills were refreshed, and the "telepathy" between him and Captain Yu was also broken, and he had no idea where Yu Hanjiang was at this time.
At the same time, the Royal Palace.
Yu Hanjiang was wearing an official uniform and read the secret room prompts with a serious face.
Identity introduction: The Yu family has been officials for generations. My grandfather once held the position of prime minister, but later resigned and retired to Jiangzhou.
You have read poetry and books since you were a child. When you were 18 years old, you went to Beijing to take the exam and were bitten by a poisonous snake in the wild. Your life was about to end. A gentle woman happened to pass by and helped you treat the wound personally, saving your life. You fell in love with her at first sight.
In the third year of the New Calendar, you were the top student in high school. The late Emperor wanted to betroth the Ninth Princess to you. You knew it in advance and declined on the grounds that you had a "long-standing engagement", thus offending the Ninth Princess. In order to solidify the excuse of "having a long-standing engagement",
You immediately return to Jiangzhou to propose marriage to your savior. You have been very affectionate since your marriage.
In the autumn of the seventh year of the New Calendar, the governor of Jiangzhou died of illness. Your Majesty, against all odds, appointed you as the new governor of Jiangzhou.
You are about to go to the palace to say goodbye to His Majesty, and tomorrow you will go to Jiangzhou with your wife to take up a post.
After reading the description, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but frown slightly.
What is all this mess?
Not only did he become the prefect of Qi, but the gatekeeper also arranged a wife for him inexplicably?!
I will go to Jiangzhou to take office tomorrow. Obviously, the plot of this secret room will take place in Jiangzhou.
Yu Hanjiang thought with a headache, it would be better to find an excuse to leave the picked-up lady in the imperial capital and take up the post by himself, so as not to have a "lady" hindering the handling of the case.
The magnificent palace is right in front of you, and the environment is extremely realistic, as if you have traveled to ancient times.
A high-pitched eunuch's voice came to my ears: "Go to court!"
Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and looked up at the high steps. His genius was bright. There were many officials waiting around him. He patted the hem of his official uniform and walked up quickly with other officials. Although he was not a professional actor, he could
Since the gatekeeper requires them to abide by the rules of this world and play their roles well, he cannot mess around and can only follow the plot.
In the palace, His Majesty, sitting on the throne, is very young, with clear eyes and a gentle smile.
Judging from the word "former emperor" in the identity introduction, the person currently sitting on the throne should be the new emperor who has been on the throne for less than four years. After meeting His Majesty, Yu Hanjiang's mind was automatically filled with memories about the emperor's identity -
- He had known the emperor for a long time. He had been the prince's companion for a period of time when he was a child. Later, his grandfather resigned and returned to his hometown, so he returned to Jiangzhou.
The internal party strife in the Da Qi Dynasty was serious. The new emperor must cultivate his own power after he ascended the throne. The emperor trusted Yu Hanjiang very much. Jiangzhou was one of the largest and most prosperous areas besides the imperial capital, but it happened to be in the Qi State and the Zhao State.
On the border, the emperor transferred a young official like Yu Hanjiang to Jiangzhou as the prefect. His intention to promote him was very obvious, so he met with opposition from many old factions.
Of course, this emperor seemed gentle, but he was extremely eloquent, and no one could beat him when it came to speaking great truths.
After many wars of words with the ministers, the emperor overcame all opinions and retained Yu Hanjiang as the "prefect of Jiangzhou".
The instillation of memory made Yu Hanjiang know where he should stand. He stood aside, and many people around him looked at him with various complicated eyes. Being able to serve as the prefect of Jiangzhou at such a young age would inevitably arouse jealousy.
All the officials knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor!"
The emperor smiled and raised his hand, "Everyone loves you!"
After everyone stood up, the emperor specifically called Yu Hanjiang's name, "Yu Aiqing, you are going to Jiangzhou to take up a post soon, are you ready?"
Yu Hanjiang took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are ready to set off tomorrow."
The emperor smiled and praised, "Yu Aiqing is young and promising. After going to Jiangzhou, she must fulfill her duties and not let down the expectations of the court."
Yu Hanjiang braced himself and responded a few times.
His Majesty discussed the matter of "marriage" with the civil and military officials for a long time. It was not until the voice of "retreat from the court" sounded that Yu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave with the other officials.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the hall, a eunuch came over and whispered, "Master Yu, your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study room."
Yu Hanjiang had no clue what was about to happen. Since "Your Majesty", a key figure, invited him there and might release a task or clues, he immediately followed the eunuch to the royal study.
His Majesty stepped back and said in a low voice, "My dear, the Eighth Emperor's uncle's Zhenjiang palace is in Jiangzhou. Remember to go and pay a visit. I have a secret letter here. Please hand it over to the emperor's uncle."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
His Majesty said, "The situation in Jiangzhou is complicated. My dear, you must be extra cautious when you go this time. If you encounter any difficulties, you can rush to me and give me a secret. I will personally approve it. In addition, there are enemy forces over there. I have a secret."
A group of dead soldiers have been arranged to protect you Zhou Quan, this is the token, you can mobilize them when necessary."
Yu Hanjiang respectfully took the token and secret letter from the emperor.
It actually went to the point of arranging dead soldiers to protect him. It seems that the water in Jiangzhou is very deep.
Yu Hanjiang kept His Majesty's instructions in mind and carefully put the token into his pocket.
After coming out of the palace, a tall guard immediately came up to him and said, "Sir."
The secret room world has the setting of "when you see someone, your memory about him will be automatically entered". Therefore, Yu Hanjiang quickly remembered that this was an orphan adopted by his grandfather. He had been with him to protect him since he was a child. This person's name was
Yun Cang possesses peerless martial arts skills. Although the two of them are master and servant, their relationship is more like that of brothers.
Yu Hanjiang nodded to him, and while walking in the direction of the home in his memory, he whispered, "Yuncang, go find two fast horses. We will set off to Jiangzhou tonight. Madam, you can find another place to settle down."
Good for her."
Yun Cang's face was filled with surprise, "What do you mean, sir, are you not going to take your wife with you this time?"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "I won't take her with me for the time being... Let's wait until I settle down there."
Yun Cang suddenly realized, "I understand that if you love your wife so much, you must be afraid that she will have a hard time traveling."
Yu Hanjiang agreed on the surface, but in his heart he thought - he was afraid that he would be exposed in front of this lady. After all, he was not an actor, and he really couldn't play the role of husband and wife with a stranger, and after going to Jiangzhou to meet his teammates,
, what did Professor Xiao think when he saw an extra wife beside him? He didn’t want to bring a woman to see Xiao Lou.
At the same time, Xiao Lou was sitting in front of the mirror studying clothes with a headache. He had never been exposed to women's clothing, let alone complicated ancient costumes.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door and said, "Madam, it's time to wash up."
Xiao Lou said "Oh" and opened the door. He saw a little girl dressed as a maid coming in with a washbasin, ready to help him wash his face. Xiao Lou felt uncomfortable and immediately said, "You go out, I will do it myself."
After the maid went out, Xiao Lou picked up a towel and washed his face briefly, then opened the window and took a look——
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and it must have been around eight o'clock in the morning. In ancient times, the court went to court very early, and the "husband" who had forced it on him should be back from the court soon.
Xiao Lou rubbed his temples and thought about countermeasures.
The husband is going to Jiangzhou to take office, so let him go with him, and things will definitely happen in Jiangzhou. He is not familiar with the place, and he can't run around on his own. Following the husband to Jiangzhou is his only choice. But, let him talk to a stranger
He really can't play the role of husband and wife. What's more, he is now dressed as a woman! If his husband wants to be intimate with him, will he punch him or will he obey?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou felt hairs creeping down his spine.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and the maid said loudly, "My lord is back!"
The memory of the maid was quickly implanted in Yu Hanjiang's mind - a 16-year-old girl named Ping'er, who was the lady's personal maid and an orphan who was rescued from a famine a few years ago.
Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, are you up?"
Ping'er smiled and said, "I'm already up and washing up."
Yu Hanjiang quickly stepped forward, pushed the door open and entered.
No matter what kind of messy wife the gatekeeper arranged for him, he must find a good excuse to let his wife stay in the imperial capital and go to Jiangzhou alone to join his teammates.
However, the moment he opened the door, Yu Hanjiang suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes.
Those eyes were as clear as water, and as they moved, there seemed to be a mysterious force attracting him, unable to look away.
The other party's facial features looked gentler against the backdrop of long hair and jewelry, but compared to the frail woman, she was a bit more handsome. Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but be stunned by Xiao Lou, who was tall, elegant, and dressed in ancient costume.
After meeting "Madam", memories will be automatically implanted in his mind, including the main events from the two's acquaintance to their marriage, but all the plot settings are not important. Yu Hanjiang only knows - this is Xiao Lou.
The wife arranged for him by the gatekeeper is actually Xiao Lou!
Yu Hanjiang's heart beat violently.
And Xiao Lou's eyes couldn't help but widen after seeing Yu Hanjiang, who was handsome and upright in official uniform.
The "husband" arranged for him by the gatekeeper is actually Captain Yu?
His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, but at the same time, he felt relieved.
Since the opponent is Captain Yu, it would be best for the two of them to go to Jiangzhou together, and what he was worried about just now will not happen.
One of them is at the door and the other is inside the house.
After looking at each other for a long time, Yu Hanjiang tentatively called out, "Xiao Lou? Madam?"
Xiao Lou's face heated up slightly. He was very familiar with this voice. It was indeed Yu Hanjiang, but he just couldn't get used to the title "Madam". He coughed lightly and whispered, "Sir, I have something I want to talk to you privately."
you say."
Yu Hanjiang looked at the maids and guards beside him, "You guys should step aside first."
The people around him looked like "I understand" and quickly retreated.
Yu Hanjiang walked into the house and closed the doors and windows.
He looked at Xiao Lou carefully and asked doubtfully, "Why did you change into a woman's clothes?"
When talking about this topic, Xiao Lou became depressed, "I wore women's clothes as soon as I woke up, and a husband was arranged for me. I really had a headache at the time, but it was okay..."
Yu Hanjiang's heartbeat stagnated and he asked in a low voice, "What's okay?"
Xiao Lou almost said that luckily it was you.
But the words were too ambiguous, so he immediately changed the subject, "Fortunately, I am going to Jiangzhou with you, and we can discuss countermeasures on the way. My special status in this world is that in addition to being your wife, I am also the descendant of a famous doctor.
, my father was a coroner...that is, a forensic doctor who was responsible for autopsy in ancient times."
Yu Hanjiang was startled and thought thoughtfully, "Forensic successor? Could it be that the gatekeepers arrange roles according to our identities?"
Xiao Lou nodded, "No wonder Director Tang said there is no way to guide A-level secret rooms. It seems that A-level secret rooms arrange roles based on the number and professions of our challengers. The secret rooms that each team enters are different."
Yu Hanjiang also thought it made sense. He looked at Xiao Lou and said, "We are going to play husband and wife in this secret room. This may be arranged to make it easier for us to move together."
Yu Hanjiang's initial dissatisfaction with "inexplicably getting an extra wife" disappeared the moment he saw Xiao Lou.
On the contrary, he felt that this arrangement was not bad.
Xiao Lou tugged on his long sleeves and looked troubled, "We're leaving tomorrow, right? I want to change my clothes. These clothes are too awkward to walk on."
Yu Hanjiang's eyes were gentle, "Okay, I will accompany you to buy two sets of clothes that are convenient for movement."
After the two went out, the guard Yun Cang ran over and said, "Sir, the fast horse you mentioned is ready. Tonight..."
Yu Hanjiang interrupted him calmly, "Prepare another carriage for Madam to sit in, and we will set off together tomorrow morning."
Guard "???"
You agreed not to take your wife with you? You changed your mind so quickly?
