So, there is more than one road to Guanshui Peak.
"You are too polite, sir. It's all my fault for having a bad memory. Otherwise, I could have brought you upstairs." The woman in brown said with a guilty look on her face.
Ji Xingzhi was about to say something when her eyes caught sight of a green figure approaching from a distance. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she swallowed back what she was about to say. She stood up and greeted the person, her voice softening slightly: "Tianshu."
Xiao Moyan reached out and touched Ji Xingzhi's head and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the house?"
Ji Xingzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm so bored when you're not here."
Xiao Moyan retracted his hand, handed the bag in his hand to Ji Xingzhi and said, "Put it on."
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, took the bundle and opened it to take a look, what came into view was a dark blue long dress, a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, a hairpin, a blue jade hairpin, and a light-colored silk flower.
"Huh? Why is this?" Ji Xingzhi asked doubtfully.
Why did you suddenly ask her to change into women's clothes?
Xiao Moyan said calmly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Ji Xingzhi thought about it, then nodded slightly. Well, she happened to have something to say.
Then, Ji Xingzhi held the bag and waited for Aunt Zhang, nodded slightly, gestured, and followed Xiao Moyan to Aunt Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang looked at Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan walking side by side with envy on her face, thinking to herself: What a good couple...
After returning to Aunt Zhang's house, Ji Xingzhi put the bag on the bed and was not in a hurry to change it. Instead, she sat at the table waiting for Xiao Moyan to explain the reason to her.
As Xiao Moyan took out the dress from the bag, he said, "The owner of the house discovered our identities, but for some reason he didn't report it. Just in case, you should change into women's clothes first."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi suddenly realized: "No wonder her attitude suddenly became so respectful."
After a pause, Ji Xingzhi asked doubtfully, "But how did she find out?"
After all, the language and writing of the five states are unified, there is not much difference in clothing, and there is no obvious difference in facial features. Recently, because Shui Lianche invited the emperors of the five states to participate in the Shuizhou Peace Ceremony, there has been an endless stream of people coming to the Shuizhou Kingdom, and among them are naturally many children of aristocratic families or descendants of royal families from various countries.
Ji Xingzhi thought about it over and over again but couldn't understand how Aunt Zhang, a commoner, could guess her and Xiao Moyan's identities.
Ji Xingzhi touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "It seems that Aunt Zhang is quite smart..."
After hearing this, Xiao Moyan paused for a moment, and after trying to hold it in, he couldn't help but complain: "It's not that the owner is smart, it's that you are stupid."
Although the mole on the chin is small, it is not invisible. In addition, they are unwilling to show their true faces, so it is normal for Aunt Zhang to notice it.
The owner of the house is Aunt Zhang.
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, she was surprised. She looked at Xiao Moyan as if she had discovered a new world. She opened her eyes wide and said in amazement: "Tianshu, you actually speak rudely?!"
Hearing this, a crack appeared on Xiao Moyan's perfect face, and the corner of his mouth twitched unnoticeably. He whispered, "Stupid indeed."
In fact, it was not Ji Xingzhi's fault for making such a fuss. It was because she had known Xiao Moyan for so many years, but she had never heard him swear. This was the first time, so she couldn't help but be surprised.
Ji Xingzhi collected her thoughts, coughed pretentiously, and changed the subject: "Ahem, well...how long are we going to hide here?"
Xiao Moyan replied: "We'll leave tomorrow night."
"Where are you going?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
Xiao Moyan was silent for a moment and said, "Observation Platform."
