Chapter 635 I almost thought he was mentally retarded
Mrs. Bai was of no use after all.
After Du Lao, Bai Xiaofeng, Su Wu, and Xiao Mai Sui sneaked into the city and reappeared in public, they all had changed their faces. Except for Bai Xiaofeng who was still handsome, the other three even had their hair different from before.
Although the new passenger station cannot catch up with the old hotels in the surrounding area, there are still many people staying in the hotel, and the four of them are not conspicuous when they squeeze in.
In addition, the shopkeeper raised the banner of the Qiulin family. As a result, the officers and soldiers paid less attention here than elsewhere, giving the few people an extra layer of cover.
In the guest room, in front of the dressing table, the "old slave" in gray spring clothes looked at himself in the mirror, feeling heartbroken and furious.
"Look, look! What did grandpa say? He said he wouldn't comb your hair, but he insisted I do it. My hair has been getting thinner as I get older, and now it's even balder!" The old man had a sad face. He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it. He carefully pinched out a ball of white hair from the bag like a treasure. "Tianbao, look at how much hair grandpa lost when he combed my head! It's so sparse that you can even see your scalp!"
He is not afraid of being bald, but every hair of his is a treasure!
He felt breathless if he lost one, and now he lost a whole bag of Bai Xiaofeng Dogecoins!
The handsome uncle gently waved his folding fan, looking straight ahead, and hummed softly, "Did your hair fall out from combing it? It fell out a long time ago, but it was tied into a knot and kept it from falling out. Don't blame me for your age."
"I'm older and you're younger? I'm going to feed you my hair and poison you to death right now!"
"Then I must not have been poisoned to death, but was filthy to death."
"Bullshit! The old man just doesn't comb his hair, not wash it!"
Tianbao and the other younger generations were already accustomed to the two bickering with each other at any time, so they just chatted among themselves and watched the show.
Watch the two elders bickering, and also watch the drama on the street outside the window.
Dubuqin's appearance was too special, and as soon as he appeared in the royal capital, the news was immediately reported to Chile.
The entire city immediately went on level 10 alert, as if facing a major enemy.
But within just half a day, the streets and alleys of the royal capital were filled with soldiers searching for people, house to house, and leaving no corner untouched.
The windows of Tianbao and Bai Yu's bedrooms faced the street, and they could see the stairs leading to the inn from above. The innkeeper was dealing with the officers and soldiers who came to search. After a few polite words, the innkeeper raised his hand to invite them in and opened the door for them to search.
"Sister, there are six of us here. The shopkeeper opened the door wide for search. Is he so confident that we won't be caught?" Little Wheat Ear was curious.
Not to mention that they have changed their appearance, the number "six" alone is sensitive, especially now.
Tian Bao was not worried at all, "The shopkeeper is not simple, his strategy may only be second to the master."
Hearing this, Xiaomai Sui withdrew his head from the window and was no longer worried.
If she were half as smart as her father, she would be more than capable of handling this kind of situation.
Su Wu was not worried either. This lack of worry came purely from his confidence in the six people's ability to escape.
When he heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, he was pretending to strangle Bai Yu's neck and cursing in his ear with gritted teeth, "Book yourself a room all to yourself, while Grandpa Du and Uncle Changdong should share my room! You'd rather die than let me die, right?"
Bai Yu was strangled and laughed stiflingly, "Third brother, don't get so excited. What are you talking about? When you're away from home, staying at an inn is just a place to rest temporarily. A bed to sleep on and a roof over your head is enough. Living next to Grandpa Du and Uncle Changdong is convenient because they can take care of them in time if anything happens. Otherwise, what else do you want to do?"
"That sounds nice, why don't you try switching rooms with me!"
"I don't mind changing rooms, but Tianbao likes this place. The view of the street is better. Tianbao is the eldest, so I have no power. You and Xiaomai Sui just have to make do with it. Do you dislike Grandpa Du and my godfather?"
"I fucking—"
Bang! The door was kicked open from the outside. Su Wu's words came to an abrupt end and the room immediately became silent.
The six people all looked at the sturdy warrior who appeared at the door of the room. They looked at each other without saying a word, but the murderous aura was quietly surging in the room. If the person outside the door made any move, they would probably have to leave sideways.
The shopkeeper followed the general, folded his hands and bowed slightly, "Master Qiulin, do you want to go inside and search again?"
"Yeah." The general hummed, and after entering the room, he walked around the side without even glancing at the six people, as if he had entered an empty room.
After a round, the general went out, and before leaving, he reached out and closed the door again, "There's nothing suspicious here, let's go to the next inn!"
The accompanying soldiers waiting at the stairs responded in unison, "Yes!"
There was a flurry of footsteps going downstairs and leaving.
There was no unnecessary noise.
Su Wu slowly raised a thumb towards the closed door, convinced. "The shopkeeper is indeed capable and has multiple identities. His masters must all think he is loyal to their family."
Little did people know that the shopkeeper's most secret alias was Shuangdi.
To be able to get to this point, it really takes extraordinary ability.
Bai Yu took advantage of the situation and moved his chair closer to Tian Bao to prevent himself from being strangled again. "The Qiulin family's cover-up isn't necessarily due to their trust in the shopkeeper. The biggest conflict actually lies with Chi Le. If he hadn't been plotting to use us as collateral damage and lured us to Yicheng to intensify the conflict between us and the nobles, the nobles of the capital wouldn't have turned around and helped us. Whether it's those nobles or Chi Le, everything they do is just to use us against each other, increase their chances of winning the internal struggle, and at the same time, weaken us, killing two birds with one stone."
Bai Xiaofeng lowered his eyes indifferently, with disdain in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Killing two birds with one stone by borrowing a knife, this trick is what the three major forces in their exile area have left behind.
"Many Xiongnu nobles hold considerable military power. If they united, the Khan would be wary of them. Chile wanted to weaken their strength, so he took action first. Now that the nobles have united to deal with them, it's all due to cause and effect."
Tian Bao rested her elbows on the table, her chin in her hand, listening to the noises on the street. After a long silence, she raised her dark eyes and said, "It seems that Chi Le has almost ignored us in his pursuit of power. He hasn't even finished defending the country from the outside, but he's already eager to start a civil war. Doesn't he act like a brainless tyrant?"
The five people looked at her and said, "Go on."
"I've also speculated that perhaps Chile did this intentionally from the beginning. What he really wanted was to blur the lines between us. We came here, watching him and the nobles fight each other. Would we still want to kill him immediately, as we did at the beginning? Who knows, maybe we'll just sit back and watch the show. When the show is over, our murderous intent will have mostly faded, and we'll just go home and let them fight each other, saving us some trouble."
Five people, "..."
That's exactly what they would do.
Therefore, Chile did so many things, half of which were serious and half were acting, but his biggest purpose was actually to save his own life.
I really misunderstood him. I almost thought he was mentally retarded.
Xiao Maisui chuckled at the table, his shoulders twitching. "But he never dreamed that we'd go to Yicheng and rescue a pair of twin Diyi! Hahaha! Chile must be regretting it like crazy right now!"
After a while, the room was filled with loud and low laughter.
