Chapter 80 Husband and Wife
Li You ignored Murong Ling and said to Murong Bo: "Brother Murong, you have too big goals. There are many people in this city who know you. It's too eye-catching to go out like this."
Murong Bo said, "It makes sense, what do you think you should do?"
Li You said, "Let's go, I'll pretend to be a businessman, you'll pretend to be my follower, you won't show off and you'll do it."
"No!" Cheng Chuliang, Bai Hu and others said together, they were worried about Li You's safety.
Murong Ling also said this. She also said, "I must go."
Li You said: "Girl, don't go. Brother Murong and I are smaller in targets and are safer."
Murong Ling said, "I'm not relieved, I must go, I want to protect my brother's safety."
Li You said, "Okay, you can go, but you have to follow my arrangements, otherwise you can go by yourself, and I won't go."
Murong Ling said, "Okay, what do you think you should do?"
Li You said: "In this way, you and I will pretend to be husband and wife, and your brother will pretend to be our servant, and it will not attract attention." His suggestions are very reasonable, because Tuyuhun men are 14 years old and women can get married at the age of 12, and teenage couples are very common.
"Okay." The person who spoke was Murong Bo.
"No! I don't want anyone to pretend to be a couple with you." Murong Ling was screaming.
Li You said, "Then you go by yourself."
Murong Bo said, "Ling'er, let's do it."
Li You said, "Then let's go back and change your clothes."
Not long after, Li You changed into an ordinary Tuyuhun man's robe, Murong Bo changed into a gray burlap servant's clothes, and Cheng Chuliang and others also changed into an ordinary Tuyuhun man's robe.
A woman is a woman. It was not until a stick of incense that Murong Ling finally came out slowly.
"Wow!" Except for Murong Bo, everyone's eyes suddenly looked straight.
What a beautiful little woman!
Murong Ling got up and combed her hair in a common hairstyle for ordinary married women. She wore a set of blue clothes that ordinary women usually wore. These were all very ordinary.
However, Murong Ling, who has returned to women's clothing, has a pretty face, a graceful figure, and is very beautiful.
Li You praised: "No, very beautiful. It's worthy of being my wife." The name of husband and wife comes from the Tang Dynasty, and was invented by a man named Mai Aixin.
"Who is your wife? I'm ashamed." Murong Lingxing's eyes widened and she scolded angrily.
Li You didn't care and said to Baihu: "Go to the kitchen and get some ash."
Soon, Baihu came back and grabbed a handful of pot of ash in his hand.
Li You grabbed a handful of ash and applied it to his face for a while, and his originally white face became darker.
He said, "Brother Murong, sister, come on, apply some more."
Murong Bo smiled and did as he did.
But Murong Ling didn't move for a long time and said, "Why do you have to do this? It's so ugly."
Li You smiled and said, "Wife, you are so beautiful. When you arrive on the street, people stare at you, so won't it be revealed?"
"I..." Murong Ling was still hesitating.
Murong Bo said, "Ling'er, listen to your highness, apply it quickly."
Li You asked, "Come on, my husband will help you apply it." He said, and reached out.
With a "bang", Murong Ling knocked off his salty hand, pinched a little ash with his fingers, and slowly applied it on his face.
For safety reasons, Li You and Murong Ling rode a carriage with a shed, and Murong Bo disguised himself as a carriageman. Cheng Chuliang and others were scattered around and protected him in secret.
As the coup had just passed, the atmosphere in Fuqi City was tense, and the streets would occasionally pass by the patrol of the Tuyuhun Imperial Guards, and they would check the pedestrians they thought were suspicious at any time.
Murong Bo drove a gray tarpaulin carriage commonly used by ordinary merchants and calmly crossed two streets. During this period, he also encountered a patrol of the Imperial Guards, but it did not cause them to investigate.
Just when they were about to reach their first visit target, General Tuyuhun's Zuo Mansion, they found a temporary checkpoint at the intersection in front of them, and a guard's post officer was checking the pedestrians with more than a dozen soldiers.
Murong Bo drove the carriage to the checkpoint, lined up behind the pedestrians and chariots, waiting for inspection.
Cheng Chuliang and others also lined up behind and were ready to carry out rescue at any time.
In the carriage, Li You and Murong Ling sat opposite each other. He had nothing to do. He looked at Murong Ling while eating candy.
Although the ash on Murong Ling in front of her face covered the color of her fair skin, she still couldn't cover the prettyness of her face, especially her smart eyes, which seemed to be brighter.
"What a beauty!" Li You praised in his heart.
Seeing Li You staring at him, Murong Ling glared at him fiercely, pointed his hand at him and gestured, allowing him to move his eyes away.
Li You turned his head and still looked at her with his eyes slanted. Murong Ling had no choice but to turn her face to the side.
At this time, the carriage moved forward, and it was their turn to pass the checkpoint. Li You reached out and grabbed Murong Ling's wrist and pulled her toward him.
Murong Ling was very angry, her almond eyes widened, and she was about to get angry when she saw Li You's fingers making a sound ban on his mouth and pointing to the front.
Murong Ling sat helplessly beside Li You, and his arm wrapped around Qian's waist. Li You didn't want to take advantage of her, she had to act like she was real.
A sergeant asked, "Who are you and where are you going?"
Murong Bo said according to the pre-practice speech: "Jun Ye, the villain is the clerk of Huang Ji Grain Shop, who sent the young master and the young lady of the boss home."
The sergeant lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Li You and Murong Ling and said, "You come down and get the inspection."
Li You and Murong Ling got off the carriage.
Several soldiers checked in the carriage.
After a while, the soldiers came to report: "Soldier, there are no contraband."
The sergeant said to Li You and others: "Let's go."
When he arrived at the side of the carriage, Li You lifted the curtain and reached out to support Murong Ling. After all, Murong Ling was a girl from feudal society and had never been so close to men before. Seeing Li You reaching out, he subconsciously avoided it and got on the carriage directly.
The sergeant happened to see this scene, which aroused his suspicion. He shouted: "Wait a minute."
Li You had already stepped onto the carriage with one of his legs. He heard the sergeant's shouting, so he had to get off again.
The sergeant walked up and down to Li You, looked him up and down, and asked, "You are the young owner of the grain store. Tell me, what is the price of grain today?"
"Damn!" Although Li You was a foodie, he was asked about this question. He knew the price of Chang'an, but he really didn't know the price of Fuqi City.
Murong Bo was stunned by the side. He couldn't even help, and he didn't know.
Li You complained secretly, unable to answer for a moment, so he had to cough violently, then point to his mouth, indicating that he could not speak.
The sergeant saw something was wrong, and he shouted sternly: "Tell me quickly, what is the price of grain today?"
Hearing the sergeant's shouts, the whistleman and soldiers on the whistle card looked at Li You, and surrounded him with the swords and guns in his hands.
