Chapter 133: Master of Disguise
Chapter 133: Master of Disguise
Wei Ling has asked Xie Yingfeng to secretly check the accounts today.
There is a key person here, and that is the chief clerk of the remaining part of the Black Tiger Army, named Lin Xuwen.
The logistics of the part of the Black Tiger Army taken away by Wei Ling were all managed by Xie Yingfeng, so Wei Ling did not add the position of chief clerk.
After returning to Mangcheng, Lin Xuwen handed over all the accounts to Xie Yingfeng.
It was because he submitted his accounts quickly and neatly that Wei Ling did not think there would be any problems with him at first.
But it is different now.
As the logistics chief of the remaining troops, Lin Xuwen was responsible for accounting and distributing various military supplies and pay. All the documents reporting military affairs to the court were written by him. So many military affairs and accounts passed through his hands. If someone in the remaining troops was secretly doing something wrong, would he really not know?
If he participated, then he only handed over the account books that they wanted to show him and Xie Yingfeng, and another set of account books. If he did not participate... this possibility seemed very small to Wei Ling now.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lin Xuwen to stay in this position for so long. Even if he was not the mastermind, he knew some inside information.
"My husband needs your help." Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang.
General Wei Ling gave Su Jixiang a general account of the current situation of the army.
Su Jixiang and he are one husband and wife. He has even told Su Jixiang the secret that the deposed emperor had passed on to him. There is no need to deliberately conceal these things.
After listening to this, Su Jixiang was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Just say it." Su Jixiang has always been open-minded. Since Wei Ling has explained it clearly, she will not be angry with him. After all, those secret guards are not only to monitor her, but also to protect her. There is no such thing as monitoring or not monitoring now. Besides, there are many hidden dangers within the Black Tiger Army in Mangcheng. If Wei Ling gets into trouble, it will not be good for her.
With these secret guards by her side, she felt at ease.
Seeing that Su Jixiang was becoming more and more accustomed to the word "husband", Wei Ling couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you laughing? Just say it." Su Jixiang waited for a while but didn't see Wei Ling speak, so he couldn't help but say.
"I want to invite you to hold a party and invite the wives of several key generals to come together. It can be regarded as a way to strengthen their relationship." Wei Ling said. "I will draw up a list for you, and as for the reason, you can think of it yourself."
"Oh. Do we have enough space here?" Su Jixiang pointed outside. To be honest, the courtyard with three entrances and three exits is definitely enough for living, but there is no large enough space to hold such a party. It is easy to hold with a few people, but it will be difficult to hold with a lot of people.
"Not enough. I have already reserved a garden in the city." Wei Ling said with a smile, "The wintersweet flowers there are in bloom, and the fragrance is very fragrant. You can use this as an excuse to invite them."
"I understand." Su Jixiang nodded. "You want me to take this opportunity to get closer to some of the ladies and find out the truth about their families, right?"
"Madam, you are smart and you will understand immediately." Wei Ling said with a smile, "In fact, Lu Shui from our family is also one of the secret guards I arranged. Just take her with you wherever you go."
"Uh..." Su Jixiang was stunned, then laughed, "Fortunately, there is Guihua who is an outsider."
"No, so is osmanthus." Wei Ling said.
……
Su Jixiang was blank for a moment.
"Then she was frightened and fell ill?" Su Jixiang asked.
"I'm not scared, I was just poisoned." Wei Ling said with a smile.
"Then doctor..." Su Jixiang's forehead showed several black lines, "It can't be..." The doctor came over and clearly told her that Guihua caught a cold while fighting the fire and was frightened, which has nothing to do with poisoning.
"The doctor was invited by Weidong...so..." Wei Ling spread his hands.
"You are such a jerk, Wei Ling!" Su Jixiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her hand and pretended to hit Wei Ling. "So you guys are teasing me alone, right? Do you think I look like a monkey?"
But in the end, she didn't lower her raised hand. She was still scared! After all, Wei Ling was also a general...her current breadwinner.
"So are Lushui and Guihua a boy or a girl?" Su Jixiang asked. This was her last bottom line!
"The female secret guard is in disguise." Wei Ling said.
"That's good!" Finally the bottom line is not broken...
"Tell them to stop disguising themselves." Su Jixiang said, "It's not good for their skin. Just let them follow me from now on. This way I'll be safer."
"Yes, that's what the madam ordered. From now on, whatever the madam says is what we have to do." Wei Ling said quickly.
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the hand that Su Jixiang had raised just now, and asked with a smile, "Did you want to hit me just now?"
"No! I saw a mosquito flying over." Su Jixiang said without blushing, and then ran out.
Looking at Su Jixiang's fleeing back, Wei Ling couldn't help laughing out loud.
Su Jixiang fled to the kitchen and saw Lu Shui making a fire, so she couldn't help but walk over.
Lushui looked very embarrassed and stood up quickly.
Su Jixiang looked around Lvshui curiously, looking up and down. She looked like a middle-aged woman, with a sallow complexion and drooping eyes. This kind of appearance would not attract anyone's attention if she were to be seen outside. She looked at Lvshui's hand carefully again, and the skin on the back of her hand had also been disguised.
Su Jixiang suddenly grabbed Lushui's wrist. Lushui was startled and looked at Su Jixiang in amazement. She saw Su Jixiang rolling up her sleeves, and sure enough, her skin color became different when it was almost to her elbows.
The sallow skin turned into a healthy wheat color, and the slightly wrinkled skin became smooth and firm.
"Madam!" Lu Shui was startled and looked up at Su Jixiang. The look in his eyes was no longer as exhausted and timid as before... but instead revealed a hint of brilliance.
"Sure enough!" Su Jixiang laughed, "It's good to be easy, don't be easy next time!"
“Madam…you…” Lu Shui’s eyes showed panic for only a moment, but soon calmed down, “Since you have been found out by Madam…then I will not pretend anymore.”
"I didn't see through you!" Su Jixiang said with a bit of disappointment, "It was your prince who revealed your identity. Otherwise, how could I have seen through it so easily? You and Guihua are both so powerful, more powerful than Weidong, Weifeng and Weijing."
Lu Shui was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "To answer your question, Madam, Guihua and I are the two best at disguise in the Dark Guard Battalion."
"I told you. Girls are talented in disguise!" Su Jixiang said.
Now she doesn’t have a mobile phone or internet, otherwise she could show these two the Asian evil magic and head-changing technique in the short video!
