The oil lamp will only be available after the mechanism is opened and we enter the tunnel!
Lu Jiao shrugged nonchalantly: "Who said I can only see if there is light?"
That's true, no problem.
But to Chen Xing and others, it was just a blatant show of skill.
He took a deep breath and suddenly understood why the prince had specifically mentioned in the letter that Lu Jiao and Kui Lang did not get along well.
I used to think that Kuilang had a bad temper, but now it seems that this Mr. Lu is not a simple person.
However, this time Chen Xing did not dare to make such a mistake. He tried hard to calm himself down.
"Since you are also the prince's man, I hope you won't talk about anything in the base with irrelevant people."
Lu Jiao didn't even glance at Chen Xing and the others: "Why would I tell this to someone who has nothing to do with me?"
Liu Bo rushed forward and said, "Boss Chen Xing, look at him!"
Chen Xing stopped Liu Bo and Yang Jun and said, "Don't get into a conflict with him yet. Wait until today's competition is over.
When we win, I will definitely not let him be so arrogant again!"
Liu Bo and Yang Jun were eager to try.
When they returned to their residence on the lower floor last night, they told the people who stayed in Huating County about the content of their competition with Lu Jiao.
Most of them disliked him and thought that Mr. Lu from the capital was arrogant and naive.
After traveling in the northwest for a while like this, someone will definitely teach him how to behave.
However, they ignored the fact that Lu Jiao and Kui Lang drove a horse-drawn carriage and arrived safely in Huating County without being noticed by the Guo family.
This has proven the abilities of both of them.
Someone may have thought of this problem, but he will not say it out loud at this time to boost others' morale.
After Liu Bo and Yang Jun's promotion, when Lu Jiao came to the hall for breakfast, everyone looked at her with somewhat unfriendly eyes.
He looked up and down, as if he wanted to scan Lu Jiao's figure and engrave it deeply in his mind.
If it were any other little girl, she would definitely be scared by their passionate gazes.
But who is Lu Jiao, the woman who wanders outside the base alone!
There was not the slightest hesitation in her steps, and her voice was the same as always.
"Chen Xing, you eat here every day, also underground?"
“Yes, there is only one family of five living here.
If the fire in the chimney lasts too long, it might attract the attention of bystanders.”
Lu Jiao was a little surprised: "Could it be that even ordinary people are helping them?"
Chen Xing naturally understood who this "they" was referring to.
"What if we don't help? Don't forget that a small part of the people in the northwest are military households.
There are so many adult men in the Northwest Army. If they want to make a name for themselves, their families have to contribute.”
Lu Jiao nodded in understanding: "That's true."
On this point, Yan Yuanhao can only take it step by step.
However, with the experience from my previous life and the help of Tong Renjie, it should be much easier.
He wouldn't have died so early!
Lu Jiao's good appetite would not be affected in the slightest by those people's gazes.
If there was only this much mutton soup served, she would really like to have a few more bowls.
She held a toasted bun in her hand and chewed it slowly.
"It's almost time, I'm leaving now!"
Chen Xing looked at the water clock in the hall. Indeed, it was almost noon.
He nodded and looked at Liu Bo: "Have all our people returned?"
"They're back. They're all down there! They're ready."
Those people have taken turns to come to the hall once. It can be said that the longer Lu Jiao ate, the longer they took turns to look at him.
Lu Jiao even wrote down each of their appearance, height and characteristics.
She seemed to take only a few slow steps and soon disappeared at the end of the tunnel.
Yang Jun had a bad feeling in his heart: "Boss, you said we won't lose, right?"
Chen Xing rolled his eyes at him: "You're saying such discouraging words before the game even starts!"
He turned to look at Kuilang and was about to speak when Kuilang stood up first.
He muttered, "I'm full now, so I'll go back and check the news..."
After saying that, he ran away.
Chen Xing didn't ask what he wanted to ask, and shook his head: "When did Kuilang become like this..."
He looked up and saw a group of people staring at him, or to be precise, at the water clock behind Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was a little annoyed and angry: "What are you looking at? There is still a quarter of an hour left!
Leave one person here to watch the time, and the others can go back and meditate!"
When the boss gets angry, everyone below him scatters like birds and beasts.
Liu Bo stayed with a grin on his face and went to ask Chen Xing some questions.
When Lu Jiao and the others closed the mechanism, their figures disappeared.
Of the people hiding in the dark last night, not a single one was left alive this time.
It seems that the person in charge of the Chenxing stronghold is quite honest.
In this case, she doesn't need to use her mental power to blur her face.
Although it is mid-June, Huating County is located in the hinterland of the northwest and is only a hundred miles away from the border, so it is still a bit cool in the mornings and evenings.
She found a thin jacket in the space, put it on, and slightly disguised her face.
Looking in the mirror, Lu Jiao saw a face that was about 50% similar to a middle-aged woman in a house on the edge of the county town last night. A sly smile appeared on her unfamiliar face.
In this way, she could be said to be a distant relative of that family.
Unless the woman came to Lu Jiao in person, even if her neighbors saw her, they would only comment that she was indeed a relative of her family.
His height remained the same, but his figure became stronger, his skin turned into a healthy wheat color, and there were many freckles on his cheeks.
Lu Jiao grinned at the mirror, and the next moment removed the protective shield that had previously covered him.
The time is almost up, and the rest depends on the abilities of Chen Xing and the others.
She walked past the house bought by Chen Xing and his family in a brazen manner, and asked the neighbors for directions in the northwestern dialect in front of them.
However, some people were skeptical about Lu Jiao's identity and followed her to the street. They saw her drink two bowls of mutton soup in a row, and then they dispelled their doubts and started to observe other people.
It’s not that Lu Jiao couldn’t drink more mutton soup, she just wanted to eat something else.
Huating County is not far from Pingliang Prefecture and is located between two water veins. One of the rivers even runs through the city, so the resources are quite abundant.
There are also two restaurants specializing in fish by the river.
Chen Xing and the others were struggling to find someone downstairs, while Lu Jiao was feasting on the meal upstairs.
She was so happy with the meal that she even went out to change her look, and then came back to order another table full of delicious dishes.
It’s a pity that this is not the capital, otherwise I could buy a carriage to hide from others, hide some food in my space, and take it out whenever I want to eat it.
As the sun was setting, the night watch drum for the evening watch (19:) had already sounded.
The next step was the evening curfew, but those who had gone out had not sent back any news.
Chen Xing knew that they were probably going to lose this competition.
