Chapter 377 So Cunning

Author: Liang Jing Liang

Usually, the inn manager was mean to the young waiter, but the latter knew that he didn't really mean that. Although the manager was used to taking advantage of others, he was indeed a good guy, who often allowed the young boy to bring customers' leftovers back home.

Nevertheless, the young boy got a bit scared when seeing how horrible the manager looked. Despite that, his care for the manager outweighed his fear.

Nodding slightly, the manager said after gathering a breath, "You find my family and ask them to bury me. Don't report my death to the magistrate. Sell the inn and save the money for themselves. Tell them not to spend extravagantly and they will be free of worries in their life."

As expected, the face under the skin looked different.Then, Zhan Qi tore off the skin on the other dead body.His two fellows couldn't help but frown and look at each other with doubt. Why did these dead bodies look different after the skin was torn off?Zhan Qi stood up and snorted when staring at the skin in his hand.One of his fellows first looked at the skin and then turned to the two corpses lying in the pit.

    "What happened?" Liu Ling stood up and asked.Uncle Lyu answered, "There are soldiers outside searching for someone from door to door. And the gate will be closed from this day on. People can get out, but no one can get in.""I didn't expect the emperor could be this fast." Pei Moning sneered when hearing that.Liu Ling asked him, "This has something to do with you?""The Beiling Emperor wants to kill us, so we played a trick to ask people to disguise themselves as us. But unexpectedly, they should see us through so quickly." Pei Moning explained.Liu Ling nodded and continued, "It seems that we should find a way to get out of town as soon as possible.""It's impossible to get out now. How about this evening?" Pei Moning thought for a while and suggested.Jiang Wei shook her head and commented, "I think Yan Ji will even raise his vigilance at night, so it may be harder to get out at tha

    Aunt Ping didn't panic but just closed her eyes.Yingnuo walked forward to talk to Zhan Qi. "Sir, what are you doing?""Oh, sorry, Miss Yingnuo. I didn't recognize you just now. So who's sitting in the carriage?" Zhan Qi smiled at Yingnuo, pretending that he didn't detect anything.Yingnuo smiled back and continued, "Aunt Ping, from the Snowy House.""Oh, Aunt Ping. I'm sorry but I was ordered to do this. Please..." said Zhan Qi who looked at the carriage and cupped his hands.In the carriage, Jiang Wei couldn't help but knit her eyebrows. Zhan Qi was obviously implying something and he wanted to search the carriage.If Zhan Qi insisted, she would...While she was lost in her thought, Aunt Ping said, "Oh, Mr. Zhan, it's you.

Yang Zijin continued.Then, Aunt Ping continued to pat gently, making that piece of skin mask fit perfectly with Yang Zijin's face.After the face was finished, Aunt Ping used tools to embellish the front of the ears.After half an hour, Aunt Ping straightened up, took out a bronze mirror from the box, and placed it in front of Yang Zijin, "Okay, how about it?"Yang Zijin looked at her face in the bronze mirror, and she was shocked.

    Meanwhile, Zhan Qi saw Yang Zijin whose appearance was changed by the facial disguise technique, and then he left the city gate.After Zhan Qi left, the soldier said to Yang Zijin, "Why do you stop here? Leave right now. Don't be in the way. Next. Next."Yang Zijin smiled at him, turned back, and walked out of the city.After she went out of the city, Yang Zijin breathed a sigh of relief because she eventually went out of the city.

Ruan Yien walked to Yan Luo, looked at her, and said.Hearing what Ruan Yien said, Yan Luo frowned and said, "Qingcheng is my younger sister's only descendent left. If something bad occurs to her, I will be guilty all my life.""Wait. If they don't come back tonight, tomorrow morning we can ask someone to check what happened. We are at a critical period. We shouldn't take risks."

    Hearing that, Yan Luo frowned and said, "Ghost Immortal? I've heard of this person. But as Wanchu is staying in Beiling, how could she know Ghost Immortal?"Yang Zijin shook her head and said to Yan Luo, "I only have a rough idea of this. I don't quite know other things."Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Ruan Yien on the side continued, "Wanchu has always been obedient. She never mentioned this matter. Your Highness, could you tell us about it?"Hearing that, Yang Zijin nodded and said, "If so, I'll tell you what I know."Then, she told Yan Luo and Ruan Yien the experience that Runyu mistook her and those things she heard from Pei Moning afterward.Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Yan Luo hove a sigh and said, "It was at that time they got to know each other."Hearing that, Yang Zijin asked Yan Luo, "Aunt, you know that?"Yan Luo nodded and said, "A few years ago, Wanchu had an accident on her wa

    "Yes, My Lord!" Zhou Ji answered.Waving his hand with a cold look, Shuo Ling ordered, "Go!"After Zhou Ji left, Shuo Ling sneered.
