Chapter 822 It's not fun without sabotaging each other.
Although the person in front of her looked exactly like Lin Yuesha, she didn't understand their relationship at all.
Xu Da thought carefully. It seemed that he and Lin Yuesha had not left any secret signals before, but he had other ways to test her.
"Cousin, you've suffered."
Miaoyin spoke of the situation in Daqi, saying, "Aunt Xu can't sleep well day and night, and neither can Young Master Luo. The New Year is just around the corner..."
"How is my mother?"
If the person who came was a fake, then it must be someone from Helian City. Xu Da thought he should first try to find out the situation from the information he had gathered from the person in front of him.
“Aunt Xu has a heart ailment, and she had a relapse once. She was very fortunate to have received the medicine from me through Wuya.”
Miaoyin recounted the events in great detail, revealing almost everything she knew in order to gain his trust.
Xu Da was worried, but he felt a little relieved to learn that his mother was alright.
Actually, he had been disobeying his mother and going against her for so many years, but now he finally understands that his mother's strict teaching was for his own good.
Only by learning real skills can one avoid losing one's life easily on the battlefield.
The dream of conquering new territories and conquering new lands was once a distant dream, but in reality, it was a cruel reality, achieved at the cost of countless soldiers dying on the battlefield and countless people being displaced.
The border city of Daqi was occupied, and many innocent people were massacred by foreign tribes.
Yes, the Lunar New Year is approaching, but how many people will not be able to get through it? Among them is him, who is imprisoned and whose fate is unknown.
Xu Da initially wanted to end his life, but he was unwilling to do so; at the very least, he couldn't let his mother feel guilty.
"Uya was shot by Helian Cheng with a dart while trying to save you. She was poisoned and escaped. We have no news of Uya since."
Miaoyin explained that Lin Yuesha was captured by Helian Cheng's men while searching for Wuya. She earnestly stated, "There must be traitors from other races among the generals of the Great Qi!"
Xu Da nodded, not wanting to bring up the issue, and instead said, "Cousin, actually I have a lot to say to you."
"What did you say?"
Could it be some kind of city defense map that needs to be explained? Miaoyin quickly grabbed the iron railing and asked excitedly.
Xu Da's eyes darkened. The imposter Lin Yuesha in front of him was very well disguised. If he weren't a foodie and didn't share the same ideals as Lin Yuesha, he would never have seen through her.
For a foodie, there are no ingredients that should be given up.
"Cousin, I don't like Uya."
Xu Da sighed and said, "You know that Qi Heng is in love with you. We're brothers, so I can't compete with him for it."
After Xu Da finished speaking, he almost felt disgusted with himself. He and Qi Heng had a relationship of being the one who tricked and being tricked, and could not possibly be brothers!
As for Lin Yuesha, she will always be a cousin, not a sister-in-law!
However, in order to expose this counterfeit, Xu Da had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics. He also wanted to know how the imposter would react upon hearing this.
"Cousin, what do you mean by this?"
Miaoyin trembled, somewhat incredulous.
What's so great about Lin Yuesha? She's just somewhat pretty. Why do Yuwen Kun and Qi Heng like her so much? And now Xu Da has joined the fray.
"I wanted to marry you, but Qi Heng beat me to it."
Xu Da lowered his head, almost bursting out laughing. If Lin Yuesha were here, she would definitely ask him if he had taken the wrong medicine and try to trick her in various ways.
Although they are siblings, they are also close friends who constantly tease each other; they can't have fun without sabotaging each other!
"Then why didn't you say so sooner?"
Miaoyin was somewhat moved. If she were Lin Yuesha, she would definitely choose Xu Da instead of the sinister Qi Heng.
Qi Heng is too calculating and cunning; Miao Yin dares not associate with him.
"Do you also have feelings for me?"
Xu Da raised his head and looked at the fake Lin Yuesha. He had learned how to sing opera from his cousin, so he felt no pressure facing the imposter.
Judging from the imposter's expression, he seemed somewhat interested, which intrigued Xu Da. Could this person really be interested in him? At least he had good judgment.
“Cousin, don’t you like men? You and Young Master Luo…”
Miaoyin realized that Xu Da had led her astray, so she quickly changed the subject.
"I used to work under the Prince of Luo. He forced me into this situation, and I had no choice but to..."
Xu Da thought that probably no one in the world was as eager as him to smear and discredit himself.
However, he also smeared Xiao Chengyu's name, and thinking of this, Xu Da felt secretly pleased.
"That……"
Miaoyin was somewhat embarrassed; this topic was beyond her scope, and she couldn't respond.
"Cousin, let's find a way to get out of here. If we get out, I'll marry you."
Xu Da began to subvert the routine of dealing with imposters. The person in front of him might not even be a woman, but he couldn't care less. He had to find a way to figure things out.
"We can't get out."
Miaoyin unconsciously revealed that they were in the dungeon of a side room in Helian City, with many guards in the courtyard, so even if they turned into birds, they wouldn't be able to fly out.
Helian City's inner courtyard is guarded, and also hides elite secret guards, including some brought by Yuwen Kun.
"Besides, you're injured now."
If you can't even get out of the dungeon, don't even dream about it.
Yuwen Kun has arrived and is negotiating with Helian Cheng. If the two form an alliance, the Great Qi will be attacked from both sides and will inevitably be forced into an abyss.
Xu Da gleaned some information from him and then fell silent.
Qi Heng is quite loyal, and Lin Yuesha is at Helian Cheng's mansion. One is real and the other is fake. If they run into each other, it will be quite awkward.
Xu Da sighed deeply, the biggest inconvenience of being arrested was that he could no longer go out to watch the excitement.
The fake cousins talked for a while longer, and then Miaoyin began to work out the city defense map.
Xu Da turned the tables and forged the same plan.
An hour later, Miaoyin was taken away by Helian Cheng's men again.
"So, did you get caught?"
Helian Cheng arranged for people to eavesdrop in secret. Xu Da was a man who couldn't keep his thoughts to himself, and seeing Miaoyin pour out her heart to him, he was afraid that he would have nowhere to tell her if he died, so he must have taken it seriously.
"My lord, you must trust my disguise skills."
Miaoyin was very confident about this; this unique skill had long been lost, and if she couldn't do it, then no one else could.
"Alright, alright!"
Having extracted the information they wanted, it's Yuwen Kun's turn next.
“Yuwen Kun is a suspicious man by nature. If he could take a liking to Lin Yuesha, Lin Yuesha must have something special about her.”
Deceiving Xu Da is easy, but it will be more difficult for Yuwen Kun. However, if successful, the benefits to our side will be immense.
Moreover, by consistently using the same tactics, Miaoyin married Yuwen Kun, becoming the wife of the city lord of Sishui City, thus enabling her to act as his inside agent.
When the two sides attack and conquer the Great Qi one day, it will be the turn of Sishui City next.
Helian Cheng never revealed that he was an ambitious man, and that a man who is ruthless and vicious is not a true man.
"This subordinate knows that Lin Yuesha's culinary skills are extraordinary."
After Miaoyin finished speaking, Helian Cheng immediately threw down his teacup. He really doubted how this idiot Miaoyin had managed to fool Xu Da, which only proved that Xu Da was even more stupid.
"If Yuwen Kun likes people with culinary skills, why didn't he find a cook and arrange for her to become the wife of the city lord of Sishui City before Lin Yuesha even came of age?"
In any case, underestimating the enemy is a major taboo.
"That might be... because he has some kind of fetish."
Miaoyin didn't think she had any problem at all, and hesitantly looked for the cause in Yuwen Kun.
