Chapter 486 Clarity(2/3)
"Mr. Lang is really here."
Not long ago, Yang Qixuan was still thinking about what to do if things were not harmonious? He did not expect Xue Bai to appear at this time. This situation even made him feel that Li Tengkong was the safest place in troubled times, because Xue Bai would come to rescue him in time.
she.
He turned around and saw Li Tengkong and Li Jilan's face after suffering from scabies again. He was curious about how Xue Bai would react when he saw them.
At this time, Xue Bai had already climbed the stairs.
"Take space!"
Li Jilan was about to follow Li Tengkong to greet him, but suddenly he thought of something and called out quickly.
Li Tengkong then remembered, turned around quickly, and asked, "Have you brought the potion?"
"Um."
Li Jilan hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, shook it, poured the potion into Li Tengkong's palm, and Li Tengkong wiped it on his face.
What is quite surprising is that with just one application of it, the dark yellow spots, spots, and scars on the face were all erased, revealing the white and translucent skin underneath.
Yang Qixuan was stunned.
It wasn't like he hadn't thought that they were pretending to be ugly on purpose, but in the past few days, they had never taken off their disguise, so he had no choice but to believe it.
According to his opinion, they should not immediately restore their appearance at this time. They should use that ugly look to test Xue Bai's sincerity.
However, Li Tengkong and Li Jilan had no such thoughts at all. They wiped their faces in a hurry and looked at each other.
"Any more?"
"A little bit, but it's already beautiful."
"what to do?"
"Hair, hair..."
"Come over here and take care of it."
The two held hands and walked around to the other side of the verandah.
Over there, Mian'er secretly pulled Jiao Nu's hand, raised her head, and gave her a helpless and aggrieved expression. Because the two of them were also dressed up as scabies patients, but Shi Qi Niang didn't care about them at all.
.
Seeing that Li Tengkong's hair was difficult to fix, Jiaonu simply turned around and went downstairs. Then he turned around and saw Xue Bai coming towards him.
"Long time no see."
"You recognize me?"
"Isn't it a shameful servant? What's wrong with your face?"
Jiaonu said proudly: "If you have scabies, it will be contagious."
She stood there with her legs spread, blocking the stairs.
"oh."
Xue Bai was not afraid of her. He squeezed forward from her, looked back and said, "I need to put on some makeup on my neck."
"frivolous."
Xue Bai ignored her and climbed up to the height of Chunqiu Tower. He turned around and first saw Mian'er with her head shrunk and her back to the wall, as if she was thinking about something. He pretended not to see it and patted Diao first.
Brothers' shoulders.
"Are the injuries healed?"
"I'm worried about you, I'll be fine soon. It's just that there are wars everywhere, so I couldn't go to find you earlier."
"As long as everything is fine, I feel at ease when I see you."
Yang Qixuan stood aside waiting to please Xue Bai, but he didn't have a chance to interject, so he rubbed his hands anxiously.
After a while, Li Tengkong and Li Jilan turned around.
"Xue Lang?"
Li Jilan's tone was surprised, the blush on her cheeks bloomed like peach blossoms, she said a blessing, smiled sweetly and said: "Oh, now I should be called the King of Peking."
"You can call me by my name among friends."
On the contrary, Li Tengkong seemed to have a calm attitude and just nodded slightly.
Xue Bai took a deep look at her and nodded slightly.
Yang Qixuan was surprised when he saw this scene. Thinking back to Li Tengkong's "female appearance that pleases her" just now, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "You can really pretend."
Of course, Xue Bai climbed up the tall building not just to meet his sweetheart.
He first watched the confrontation between Yuan Jie and Wang Chengye over there for a while, and finally saw Li Yizhong driving his horse forward and killing Wang Chengye with a single blow.
There is not much suspense about this matter. Xue Bai didn't even bother to deal with Wang Chengye personally this time. Looking back at the beginning of the Anlu Mountain Rebellion, he was just the prefect of Changshan and his status was much inferior to the other party. But after this incident, the power of both parties was far away.
Same thing.
"Are you here to pick me up?"
Li Tengkong stood behind Xue Bai, looked up at the clouds in the sky, and asked casually.
"Some official business." Xue Bai said, "I happened to be passing by."
"What business?"
"For example, dealing with Wang Chengye."
"But before you even said a word to him, he died."
Xue Bai said: "Also arrange some salt officials to implement the salt law. In the future, it will cost a lot to suppress the rebellion. The court cannot make ends meet and must have new financial resources."
As he spoke, he walked around to the east side of the high platform and looked towards the Salt Lake.
Under the sun, the salt fields glow with different colors, which is so beautiful.
~~
It was night, and Cui Zhong, who had just been rescued from the prison, was brought to Xue Bai again.
Continuous tossing has completely worn away Cui Zhong's will. When Xue Bai asked, he confessed Wang Chengye's next intention.
"There is Yan Wu in Fufeng County, but Gao Shi is blocking it, so it is not very convenient. Therefore, King Zhong asked Wang Chengye to make arrangements, and promised to appoint Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi as the military envoy, and still lead his troops. As long as they are willing to surrender, Wang Chengye will transport them
The army supplies are ferried to Pujin."
Xue Bai asked: "Is Li Heng colluding with the rebels?"
"Wang Chengye said that if the rebels are surrendered, they are not the rebels, but the Tang army. As for King Qing..."
Cui Zhong stopped mid-sentence and did not dare to say any more.
He also recognized the current situation and knelt down to beg for mercy, only asking Xue Bai to spare his life.
"Can."
"Thank you, King Beiping."
Xue Bai said: "You go as an envoy to the rebel camp and do what I say, and I will spare your life."
Cui Zhong was stunned.
He did not expect that after all the hardships he had gone through, he would inevitably make the trip to the rebel camp. He must have been destined to avoid it, so he had to take the trip anxiously.

Posthouse.
Li Tengkong took a shower and changed clothes, finally washed off the concoction on his face, put a Taoist bun in front of the mirror, thought about it, and then broke it up after a moment.
"Shall I comb it for you?"
Just in time, Li Jilan opened the door and came in, walked behind her, picked up the comb, thought about it, and said, "I'll give you an inverted bun. It will look good."
Li Tengkong shook his head and said, "I'll go to sleep soon and won't comb my hair."
"Did you really sleep?"
"Well, I'm a little sleepy."
"I have to comb it for you so that it won't affect your sleep." Li Jilan said, "Maybe I haven't seen your real face for a long time. You are so beautiful like this."
Black and smooth hair flowed over Li Jilan's fingertips. She smelled the fragrance of Li Tengkong's hair, and felt a long-lost throbbing in her heart. Until she heard movement in the yard, she yawned and said:
"I'm going to sleep."
Li Tengkong whispered: "I want to read the Taoist Scriptures again."
"Okay." Li Jilan continued to yawn and walked towards the inner room.
Li Tengkong glanced back, then took out the lipstick hidden in his sleeve, sipped it gently, looked at the bronze mirror, and felt very unfamiliar with the beautiful face inside.
But when I hugged Xue Bai, that long-lost familiar feeling came back.
It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. After a long separation, especially after the separation of life and death in troubled times, both of them felt a little selfless.
