Chapter 193: Disguise

Chapter 193 Disguise

As Li Huowang gazed upon those women, the voices of Sun Baolu and Gou Wa beside him drifted into his ears.

"Old Sun, those bandits truly have sharp eyes, every woman they stole is quite proper, do you think I should pick one from among them to be my wife? I don't mind them being dirty, as long as they can bear children."

"Forget it, they just came out of that place, do not bully them anymore."

"Tsk! Look at you talking, I Cao Cao am not taking a concubine, what is wrong with taking a wife through proper match-making? I may not look good, but if they really marry me, that would be them climbing up the social ladder."

"Old Sun, do you want one too? Miss this shop, and it will be hard to find such a beautiful wife in the future."

"They are all pitiful people, forget it."

"We are helping them! Think about it, even if they go back, people will point fingers at them, they will not be able to marry their whole lives! They can only keep widowhood forever, at least following me they will have a hot meal to eat."

Li Huowang reached out and pulled the quilt off his body, standing up.

He ignored the chatting Gou Wa, and walked towards Lu Zhuangyuan who was drinking porridge.

The Lu Family Troupe, having rested for a whole night, was obviously in much better spirits, at least their faces were clean, and their clothes were not messy.

Seeing Li Huowang approach, Lu Zhuangyuan hurriedly stood up, stuffed the bowl in his hand into his youngest son's arms, his eyes full of respect.

"This thing belongs to you, right?" Li Huowang returned the previous pipe stem to its owner.

"Ah yes yes yes!!" Lu Zhuangyuan, nodding and bowing, hurriedly received it with both hands.

"Troubling the Little Daoist Master, such a small matter, yet requiring the Little Daoist Master to deliver it personally."

"If you feel uneasy in your heart, then help me with something, it happens to be a time when you are needed."

Lu Zhuangyuan was very surprised, this Little Daoist Master was so powerful, what matter could there be that needed his help.

Li Huowang turned his head to look at the others eating normally, "Yes, help us disguise ourselves. All put on makeup."

Soon, opera makeup was painted on everyone's faces, even long beards were hung on Li Huowang's copper coin mask.

When everyone's weapons were put on the carriage, after a while, the originally somewhat messy escort team disappeared, leaving only a large opera troupe of twenty-odd people.

"From now on, you lead this opera troupe, we are all people under your command, if others ask questions, you will appear to answer."

With Monkey Second's identification, their dress was too conspicuous, they must change identities, this was Li Huowang's purpose.

Lu Zhuangyuan was also a sharp person, immediately understood, and hurriedly patted his chest indicating definitely no problem.

"Senior Brother Li, will this work?" Gou Wa, with a white circle painted on his nose, asked with a bitter face.

The old male role long beard on Li Huowang's face swayed back and forth with his shaking head. "Always have to try, if we walk directly on the road like that, it is too easy for them to find us, we cannot fight against the entire Later Shu."

At this time his face was full of black plus beard, finally there was also the full body official opera costume, completely different from the previous red-robed Daoist.

Unless the makeup was completely removed, otherwise basically unrecognizable.

"Senior Brother Li, eat." Bai Lingmiao, painted in the flower maiden opera costume, carried porridge over.

Li Huowang lifted it up just about to drink, quickly scanned around, and saw only Chun Xiaoman had not put on makeup yet.

Seeing Li Huowang look, Bai Lingmiao hurriedly explained: "Sister Xiaoman has too much hair on her face, she needs to trim it before putting on makeup."

"Shave quickly, do not waste time, no one knows how long until those people actually catch up."

Li Huowang speaking, threw over that iron-slicing sharp long sword, lifted the bowl and began drinking in large mouthfuls.

"No need for that, it is not beheading, I know how to shave face." Lu Zhuangyuan's daughter-in-law Luo Juanhua put down the bowl in her hand, wound out two red head ropes from her wrist, and walked over to help.

The threads crossed each other, quickly twisting off the black hair on Chun Xiaoman's face from the roots, revealing a touch of white.

When the porridge in Li Huowang's bowl was finished, the hair on Xiaoman's face was also twisted off almost completely.

At this time, the other senior and junior brothers who came out from Qingfeng Temple together could not help but look over curiously.

Chun Xiaoman's face had always been wrapped in hair, this was the first time they saw what she looked like.

Luo Juanhua shaved the face very carefully, even the neck was shaved clean.

Chun Xiaoman looked at the others somewhat uneasily, her heart could not help but become somewhat anxious.

To tell the truth, she herself did not know what she looked like.

Xiaoman quickly stood up and walked in front of the bronze mirror, carefully examining her own face.

Immediately she herself inside the mirror, saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl's delicate face, face slightly round, delicate nose straight.

Cannot say absolutely beautiful, but also can be called delicate.

Do not know if others are satisfied or not, Chun Xiaoman was absolutely satisfied, using those furry hands to hold her own face, tears filling her eyes.

No one wants to be a long-haired monster for a lifetime, she also wants to be like other women, marry and bear children.

"Xiaoman is actually so young..." Li Huowang mumbled a sentence in his mouth, then began to urge.

"Stop looking, hurry paint, after painting hurry leave, the entire Later Shu is unsafe for us."

Lu Juren picked up the brush one hook one lift, in Xiaoman's reluctance, thick ink covered her appearance.

"Da da da~!" Hoof beats suddenly sounded, a group of fierce-looking men riding horses rushed past from the side.

Some of them quickly carefully looked a few times, at the opera troupe before them, did not stay too long.

This was not a good omen. "Go. Hurry go, those people probably are hiring bandits to find us."

Li Huowang's one sentence made the just slightly relaxed atmosphere instantly become heavy again.

Everyone disregarded drinking porridge, hurriedly packed everything.

For the next period of time, Li Huowang dared not walk the main road, as much as possible walked small roads.

Whether due to the makeup or because of the route selection, ten days later, Li Huowang and others actually really smoothly arrived at a small town, situated among several stone mountains.

This town was not big, only the scale of one street, however seemingly because it was a traffic key location, people coming and going passersby were quite many.

Seeing this lively street, Li Huowang slightly breathed a sigh of relief, not bad, distance from leaving Later Shu decreased by another segment of road.

"We rest here one night, tomorrow continue walking." Li Huowang speaking led these people towards the inside walking.

Just walked not a few steps, Li Huowang suddenly eyes brightened, he saw the old man previously encountered on the road by chance. "Old sir? Where are you going?"

Jin Shanzhao turned head, saw speaking was a long-bearded old male role.

Simply distinguishing the voice, he with a few parts of surprise said: "Oh? Originally it is Real Person you, such coincidence."

"Such coincidence?" Li Huowang pupils slightly contracted, quickly walked to opposite party front, "Hit me."

"En? Why?"

"Bang!" Li Huowang one fist hit on Jin Shanzhao's chest, letting him holding chest continuously retreat three steps.

"Real Person? For no reason you why want to be like this? Old man can have where offended your place?" Jin Shanzhao by this fist almost beaten breath backwards.

Li Huowang however did not reason him, but lowered head looking at own fist, murmuring self-speaking said: "I can touch to, and this touch feeling... looks like he really is not like monk same illusion."
