Ziyan looked at her reflection in the mirror. He wears simple clothes far from the word luxury as he used to wear. Today she will be a country girl traveling with her sister. And here, xiaoqi will play the role of brother ziyan.
After a great effort, he persuades Sima Rui to let him go. Finally, although with a heavy heart the man gave his permission. Ziyan is not allowed to go alone. At first he will go with Sima rui. But his face that is too handsome will only make people suspicious. So that was why the choice fell on xiaoqi.
Sometimes ziyan as a wife feels inferior to the good looks of her husband. Even though he added a charcoal-like black powder on the man's face, it still did not reduce the charisma he had.
Sima rui noticed ziyan who had been busy changing her appearance since.
" Do not use lip shadow. Make your face as natural as possible. " Sima rui's advice. His eyes did not slightly shift from the figure of the woman who had been the focus of his attention since.
" My wife, you can add a little stain with black powder on your face. I think it'll look more convincing. " Imbuh Sima rui while giving a small box containing charcoal powder.
Ziyan stared intently at Sima rui. While those in the face just do not care and still smile without feeling guilty.
" I'm disguised as an innocent village girl, not a beggar. If my face is stained, they won't kidnap me. Never mind kidnapping, I sure didn't even glance. " Sorry about her husband's behavior.
The woman did not know that her simple appearance made her look plain and fragile. Make anyone who sees especially men have an instinct to protect. Sima Rui believes that his wife's appearance will attract more male bees. Sima Rui doesn't like that.
" I just want to help. I guess adding a little stain doesn't make you look shabby to my wife. " Sima rui is still trying to persuade. He even put on a hard face.
" Stop making faces. I won't be affected. I know very clearly what your motives are. "
Sima Rui sighed in disappointment because his efforts made the wife not too beautiful failed. He returned to his seat and downed his cup empty to ease his disappointment.
Ziyan glanced from the corner of her eyes how her husband was sulking. Although he did not look to be sulking, but clearly Ziyan could see the disappointment on his face. He smiled slightly, then walked over to Sima rui's table and opened the city containing the black powder. Take with index finger then apply thin on his forehead. Like the sign in the Hindu god statue.
" Did it look like a village girl. " Tanya ziyan's.
Sima rui smiled and nodded in restraint so that his laughter did not break. " Much better. " She said.
The two of them came out of the room and looked at the xiaoqi who was already prepared with his battle clothes.
" Wangfei, why is there a stain on your forehead? " Tanya xiaoqi noticed ziyan's face.
Ziyan cleared her throat then glanced towards sima rui.
" Take this as a sign of someone's blessing so that our mission runs smoothly. " Ziyan said insinuatingly to someone. " From now on stop calling me wangfei. Try to get used to calling me me meimei. I'll call you gege, too. Now try. "
" Gege's. " Call ziyan.
Xiaoqi glanced at Sima rui at a glance. His tongue felt mute, heavy it felt like he had to call meimei to his master. Moreover, looking at Sima rui's cold expression. Making xiaoqi let out cold sweat all over his back.
" May.. Mei. "call xiaoqi stammer.
" good. After that, try to sound more natural. " Pinta ziyan while patting xiaoqi's shoulder.
The sweat of the corn on xiaoqi's forehead was getting heavier. He could feel the cold from beside his master.
" You better get going. Remember that! you must take care of my wife xiaoqi. Then come back intact and safe. " Sima rui interrupted.
Sima rui's tone was actually ordinary. Yet for some reason in xiaoqi's ears sounded terrifying. It was as if the man was cursing himself not to return.
" Good, Your Highness. I'll remember it. " Say xiaoqi with a breath.
Ziyan saw a horse carriage parked in front of his residence. He frowned when he saw the look of the horse carriage.
" Xiaoqi, is this carriage already the simplest we have? " Tanya ziyan's.
" That's right Wangfei. This is already the simplest. "
' Even the lowest noble of his chariot is no better than this. Do they intend to uncover the disguise before the war. ' Inner ziyan was upset.
Because the simple train in xiaoqi means made of good quality wood with carvings on several car bodies.
Ziyan looked around. His eyes stopped when he saw the firewood-carrying horse that happened to be supplying to his residence. A horse-drawn carriage without passenger cars. Only the horse draws the wooden board where the owner lays the firewood.
" We ride it. " Ziyan pointed towards the wooden carriage.
Everyone is dumbfounded. Xiaoqi was quickly dragged onto the carriage. As soon as the horse-drawn carriage walked, ziyan awkwardly waved his hand at Sima rui who had since been still trembling at the absurd behavior of his wife.
Long story short, finally ziyan and xiaoqi arrived at the edge of the forest. Where Arthur and wang yi were kidnapped earlier. After getting off the train, Ziyan decided to walk.
" Miss , it looks like there's an inn over there. " Sign xiaoqi at a building that is quite close from their current position.
" Yumomi! call me me meimei. " Strustful ziyan.
" Ah yeah. Meimei. " Answer xiaoqi who is still unfamiliar.
The two walked towards the small inn. As soon as ziyan entered the inn, there were many pairs of eyes staring at them. Ziyan tried to act ordinary, he walked towards the front desk to reserve two rooms.
" Please give us two rooms. " Pinta ziyan to the inn's male attendant.
The officer immediately recorded their room booking. " Are you new to this village? " Ask the officer while writing their proof of payment.
" yes. We both came from the village under the foot of the mountain and were going to work in the capital. " Reply, Ziyan replied so innocently.
Xiaoqi had since just silently observed the interaction of ziyan and the attendant.
" Is he your brother? " Task the officer looked at xiaoqi. While xiaoqi only looked back at the attendant with a flat expression.
" He's my brother. " Answer ziyan still kept her friendly smile.
After making payment. Ziyan and xiaoqi waited for a moment while sitting at one of the tables. The inn room is on the second floor, while on the first floor is the receptionist as well as the store where we order food. Because of the location of the inn on the edge of the forest close to the gate of the capital. So do not be surprised if the stay is the tourists who come from outside the capital.
Suddenly two big and burly men came to the Ziyan table. From the expressions of the two, ziyan could see their evil intentions.
" Hey miss. Your seat is empty. Can we sit here with you. " Say one of them on Ziyan.
The man spoke at a very close distance to Ziyan's face. He could smell the stench coming from his mouth. Closing his eyes, ziyan tried to withstand the turmoil on his stomach that thrashed out to be spewed out.
" I'm sorry but I see a lot of other seats are empty. Why don't you sit somewhere else. " Smoothly reject ziyan. He held his breath while speaking.
The two men seemed to be in disbelief with ziyan's refusal.
Brakk!
One of them hit the ziyan table. " You dare to reject us, ha! " She screamed until both eyes glared as if she wanted to get out.
Ziyan pretended to be trembling in fear. Xiaoqi who plays the role of brother did not accept when the sister was bullied.
" You guys go. Don't bother my sister. " Sheek Xiaoqi tried to banish the two. But his flat face made the two men feel as if they were being ridiculed.
Unaccepting with the action of xiaoqi, one of the men who had just hit the table, grabbed the xiaoqi shirt, lifted his body up and threw it. Xiaoqi wanted to fight back, yet ziyan had already given the previous code for him to budge. Now he fell on the floor.
" You can't even fight us. But trying to be a hero. Weepy! " The man spat right on xiaoqi's face.
Both ziyan's hands clenched. Unaccepting with the insults that xiaoqi had obtained.
" Stop you two. " Sela someone stopped one of the men who was about to kick xiaoqi.
Everyone's attention now turned to the person who had just spoken. Ziyan looked at a man dressed in white, with a look that gave the impression that he was a virtuous man. His face showed calmness and the most important thing was that the man was handsome. Ziyan was a little fascinated, but a second later he came to a realization.
' Turn your eyes stupid. If sima rui knows that you are fascinated with her then you are done. " Inner ziyan.
" Don't interfere with you. Or you'll end up like him. " Say one of the burly men earlier arrogantly pointed towards xiaoqi.
The two were now facing off against the mysterious man in white clothes leaving xiaoqi still sitting on the floor. Ziyan immediately approached xiaoqi to inquire about her state.
Before long the two-on-one fight also happened. Ziyan thought that since the man in white clothes looked weak, he would be easily defeated by the two burly men. But the situation is reversed. It was easy for the man to defeat both of them in a short period of time.
Seeing the two burly men lying on the floor in pain all over his body. The man in white clothes came forward and stood in front of them.
" If I see you guys doing it around here again. Then I won't hesitate to cut off your hands. " Threatening the man made the two men nod quickly. "Then go you two. " The two quickly ran away from the inn.
The man in white clothes walked over to Ziyan then helped xiaoqi stand up.
" Are you guys okay? " Say to ziyan and xiaoqi.
Ziyan nodded, "we're fine. Thank you, thanks to you my brother helped. "
" No need to be confused. I just do what I have to do. There's no way I'm just closing my eyes when I see a pretty girl being bullied. "
" Haha.. " Ziyan laughed stiffly. I don't know why the man sounded like he was teasing her. " Once again, I thank you, sir... "
" xumu's. Call me xumu. " Cut xumu.
" Ayeah, once again thank you Mr. Xumu for your help. "
After saying thank you, ziyan and xiaoqi immediately went to the second floor to head to the room.
Xumu looked at Ziyan's back and a smile fell on his lips.
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
The two burly men who had been beaten by xumu were again stopped by two men.
" What do you want. " Grew one of those burly men.
Junyi smirked, "Not much. Just give a little greeting introduction because you guys were trying to disturb our mistress. "
the two are junyi and sima rui.
The two men looked at each other. " Who's your mistress? Don't just talk to you. We don't even know your mistress. "
Jeeps heard their words. He then saw sima rui who had a dark face. Ever since seeing the ziyan being bullied, sima rui had already recorded the two inside his head that they would get an unforgettable punishment. Initially sima rui would only cut off one of his arms that had intended to touch ziyan. But that intention was broken. Now he will make them tormented because because of them, a man out of nowhere appears and fascinates his wife. That's what makes Sima rui's face darker. He needs an outlet to relieve his anger and jealousy.
Junyi who was originally irritated with the two burly men was now at a pity as soon as bad luck would lead them into the hands of the demon lord.
' If only you were to only disturb wangfei maybe you would only lose one arm. But look. Because of your actions, make wangfei fascinated with foreign men. That was your fatal mistake. ' Monologue junyi.
" Take them to the usual place. " Sima rui's order. " Supervise both. Because my wife would definitely want to retaliate for the humiliation they had done to xiaoqi. "
And finally the two were dragged forcibly by the shadow guard who had been hiding since.
