1524 His Uniform Was Taken

The city gates were open during dawn. It must not have been long since she left the city. Lil Qi, hurry up and send someone to get her back, Jier said worriedly.

Even though she was angry and frustrated by Yaoyao running off without saying a word, Yaoyao was now alone in the Yan Kingdom, which made Jier very worried.

Chu Qi thought about this silently for a moment before suddenly saying, I sent Beitang You out through the gates before dawn this morning. The gates were opened once during that time.

Jier realized what he meant and her pretty eyes widened. Are you saying that Yaoyao might have hidden inside Beitang Yous group and left the city with them?

Its highly possible. Chu Qi frowned. I remember her being good at creating human skin masks, isnt that right?

Jier nodded. Thats right. Grandmother taught us how to make human skin masks before, even Lu Xue learned it, but Lu Xue and I dont have much talent in this department. Yaoyao was the only one who was good at it. The masks she created looked very realistic. All she needs is to glance at the persons face and she could immediately make a mask identical to that person. At this point, Jier was taken aback as realization dawned on her. Are you saying that Yaoyao used that to blend into Beitang Yous group?

Yes. Otherwise, Beitang You would have noticed her. Even I did not notice anything odd when I sent them out of the city. Yaoyao must have used a human skin mask to disguise herself as someone close to Beitang You. Chu Qi had just said this when a guard came rus.h.i.+ng over while bringing someone with him.

Chu Qi and Jier turned to look and found the man looking slightly familiar despite being a little disheveled.

Are you the personal guard of Beitang You? Chu Qi asked grimly.

The man had been freezing in the woodshed for an entire night. His guard uniform had been taken and all that was left on him was his thin undergarment. Fortunately for him, he was trained in martial arts skills and was not seriously hurt. However, it was still quite grueling for him to endure an entire night of cold. He rubbed his arms and soothed himself before saying, Yes, I am.

What exactly happened? How did someone knock you unconscious in the woodshed? Jier frowned as she asked.

After the banquet last night, I escorted my master to his bedroom. I was on duty until after midnight when I detected a strange fragrance and I lost consciousness after that. The guard said this with some embarra.s.sment. He was an imperial guard who served right by the side of His Majesty, yet he had such a low sense of alertness, which was unacceptable. It was lucky that his master was safe.

Jier immediately understood what happened when she heard this.

Yaoyao must have used coma-inducing medicine to knock the guard out and take his uniform. After that, she threw him into the woodshed and disguised herself as him. When morning came, she followed Beitang You out of the city gates.

Jier was furious and anxious at this thought.

Yaoyao never liked learning martial arts, but her mind was filled with quirky ideas that she never got to put to proper use. This time, she had chosen to disappear quietly right under Lil Qi and Jiers noses.

What should we do now? Jier frowned and turned to ask Chu Qi worriedly.

We should let her be. If she wants to have fun in the Yan Kingdom, well let her enjoy herself there. If we were to drag her back here, she would just find another way to get there, Chu Qi said grimly.

But she is alone in a foreign country Jier was still worried about it.

Dont worry. If she can sneak off from under our noses, it is proof of how smart she is. She wont allow herself to get bullied out there. Chu Qi consoled her gently. If you still feel worried about her, Ill write a letter to Beitang You and request for him to take care of Yaoyao on our behalf.
