Chapter 153 The Art of Disguise

Yuen Biao led Shen Danru to his room, which was filled with all sorts of human skin masks, much to Shen Danru's surprise.

"Did you make all of these yourself?" Shen Danru asked.

Yuen Biao nodded: "Miss, please sit down first, I'll take your measurements."

Shen Danru sat down as instructed by Yuen Biao, who then began to measure her face, making notes and sketches as he did so.

Soon, Yuen Biao wrote down half a page of data.

"Alright, Miss, you should go back and rest. Just give me an hour."

"Okay. Brother Yuen Biao, please let me know as soon as it's done."

"no problem."

Seeing that Yuen Biao was focused on his work, Shen Danru couldn't bear to disturb him, so she left with Qing Tan.

She was indeed exhausted. After returning to her lodgings, she told Qingtan to go back and rest as well, and then she lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

However, just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard Yuan Ying's voice and was jolted awake.

"Young Miss, the human skin mask you requested is ready. Would you like me to put it on for you?" Yuan Ying asked.

Yuen Biao had just finished production when he instructed Yuen Ying to immediately notify Shing Siu-yu.

Yuan Ying also learned that Shen Danru had urgent matters to attend to at the border, so he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately woke Shen Danru up.

"Please get dressed up, I'll leave it to Sister Yuanying."

Shen Danru sat on the stool and continued her sleep.

She didn't open her eyes until Yuan Ying finished dressing her.

"Is this...is this really me?"

She was incredulous and slapped her face hard.

The force of the blow actually brought her back to her senses.

Yuan Ying reminded her, "Miss, if you are to play an old man, then your voice will also need to be changed accordingly."

Shen Danru patted her head, how could she have forgotten this?

I should have made a human skin mask of a young man.

Just then, Yuen Biao walked in and said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll teach you some ventriloquism techniques."

"good."

After studying for two hours, Shen Danru finally mastered some skills.

She tried to say a sentence and felt that her voice had become very old, which made her feel a little proud.

"Not bad, not bad, Miss learns very quickly," Yuen Biao praised.

Shen Danru felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"However, young lady, ventriloquism is only one part. You also need to pay attention to the old man's demeanor and expressions to make it more realistic."

Yuen Biao reminded him.

Shen Danru nodded. He knew Yuen Biao's expertise in this area, so he humbly asked him for advice.

Yuen Biao taught her some of the mannerisms and expressions of an elderly person, such as walking posture, gestures, and eye contact.

Shen Danru studied very diligently, imitating and practicing constantly.

After some effort, she finally felt that she looked seven-tenths like a real old man, and couldn't help but express her gratitude to Yuen Biao with joy.

"Thank you, Brother Yuen Biao, you taught me so well."

Yuan Biao smiled slightly: "You flatter me, Miss. I only did my bit. I heard that you want to infiltrate Prefect Sun's residence. Why don't I accompany you?"

"That won't do. I'm worried you won't be able to escape if we encounter danger."

Yuan Ying reassured her, "Miss, please rest assured. In fact, my brother is not only proficient in disguise, but also a martial arts master."

This surprised Shen Danru even more.

Yuen Biao asked respectfully, "When does Miss plan to take action?"

Shen Danru thought for a moment and then replied, "Why don't we do it now? My current identity is that of a divine physician, so why don't you pretend to be a medicine boy?"

Shen Danru's words made Yuan Ying burst out laughing.

The young lady's appearance does resemble that of an old man, but the apprentice is indeed quite tall.

Yuan Ying suppressed a laugh and said seriously:

“Young Miss, this medicine boy role is a bit unsuitable. He’s too tall and strong, and he’s too honest and not tactful enough. You need to find someone more quick-witted, at least someone who can adapt to different situations.”

Shen Danru thought about it and realized that it made sense, so she asked, "Then, Sister Yuanying, who do you think would be more suitable?"

The people she brought were definitely not suitable. Xiao Wei and the other two were tall and strong, and Qing Tan didn't have time to make human skin masks, so she could only look for suitable candidates in the Death Gate.

Yuan Ying's eyes lit up: "Miss, you were looking for me? I'm the most suitable candidate."

Shen Danru sized up Yuan Ying; she was slightly shorter than her, which was indeed a good match.

So he nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Ying immediately began to dress up.

Yuan Ying quickly got dressed up, and when Shen Danru saw her, she really did look like a medicine boy, so he immediately gave her a thumbs up.

At this moment, Shang Zuo came in carrying a medicine box.

"Miss, this is the medicine kit I prepared for you. Please see if you need any other medicinal herbs, and I will arrange for someone to send them over."

As Shen Danru opened the medicine box, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

The medicine box was just a decoration for her; how much medicine was inside was irrelevant.

"Brother Shangzuo, you've prepared everything very well."

Shen Danru praised.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss. It is my duty. Please feel free to tell me if you need any more medicine."

Shen Danru nodded: "Okay."

After discussing it for a moment, the two prepared to set off.

Although Qingtan was worried about Shen Danru, her mistress had ordered her to rest, so she had no choice but to stay.

"Master, you must come back safely. If anything happens to you at Prefect Sun's residence, I will not let them off the hook."

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

Yuen Biao, disguised as a coachman, drives the carriage in front, while Shen Danru and Yuen Ying sit in the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Prefect Sun's residence.

As soon as Yuen Biao parked his carriage at the door, several soldiers pointed their long guns at them.

"Who goes there? This is Prefect Sun's residence. Why aren't you stopping your carriage?"

Because General Shen Shi was recuperating here, Prefect Sun's residence was under heavy security.

Yuan Ying dismounted from the carriage and replied in a youthful male voice, "I heard that General Shen is still recovering from his serious injuries, so our family's divine physician has come here specifically to treat him."

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of the older soldiers frowned and looked at Yuan Ying suspiciously, saying, "May I ask which divine physician you are?"

Yuan Ying cleared his throat and said, "It's Physician Zhang from Medicine King Valley."

This was something Shen Danru and Yuan Ying had discussed on the way here. Since they were going to treat General Shen, they had to claim the title of a nationally renowned divine doctor; otherwise, it would be difficult to even see General Shen.

Everyone was surprised upon hearing this.

Has Doctor Zhang left the valley?
