Jianghu chaos

"Xie Qi?"

"Thank you seven."

"Xie Chaohan..."

The sun was dizzy, and his eyes were sore, Xie Chaohan was groggy and inexplicably sleepy, someone called him from near and far, and the voice sounded like Mei Qian.

"Iron rooster don't shout, I have a headache, let me sleep for a while."

As expected, the voice stopped, but Xie Chaohan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and opened his eyes with difficulty. At some point, Mei Qian sat in front of him, with his head bowed, his eyes tightly closed, his face turning pale and blue.

Xie Chaohan was so frightened that he quickly reached out and clasped his shoulder: "Mei Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he touched her, Mei Qian's body swayed, and she fell straight towards him, falling into his arms, her cold forehead hitting his shoulder.

This scene was inexplicably familiar, Xie Chaohan didn't have time to think about it, and kept shaking his arms around his shoulders: "Mei Jiu? Wake up!"

Mei Qian's body was cold, and his breathing was extremely weak. He sprayed intermittently on his neck, and gradually stopped.

"Mei Jiu..." Xie Chaohan hugged his slowly stiff body, feeling a chill from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, trembling uncontrollably, "Mei Qian..."

He finally remembered that this was not a carriage, but the Qingfeng Inn in Bianzhou, and Mei Qian died in his arms.

"Mei Qian!"

Xie Chaohan woke up suddenly, the strong sunlight came in from the car window, hitting the eyes and making people squint.The blurry scene in front of him gradually returned to its place, and a face was very close at hand, and it was exceptionally clear.

Slim eyebrows and handsome eyes, pupils are slightly shallower than others, as if covered with a thin layer of late autumn frost, even when talking and laughing with others, it always seems to be separated by something, like the indifference of strangers, the loneliness of no care.

The moment he saw him, a picture flashed in his mind, Xie Chaohan suddenly remembered eight years ago, when the two competed under the tung tree for the first time, the Fengyue weave that flew by and cut his sleeve. Feather needles.

The young man's face gradually overlapped with the face in front of him, his long eyebrows, which had hardly changed, frowned, and his warm breath rushed to his face: "Are you awake?"

Xie Chaohan came back to his senses, Mei Qian had already sat back in his seat, looking down at something, unable to see his expression clearly.

The carriage jolted on the way to Baichuan Mountain Villa. Looking at the sky outside the carriage, it didn't take long, probably only enough for him to take a nap.

Two days have passed since the incident at the Breeze Inn. In the past two days, whenever he closed his eyes, he looked like Mei Qian who was almost dead. After the initial shock and blankness, the fear swept over unconsciously, drowning reason in every dream .

It is really strange to say that Xie Chaohan is not afraid of death, he can deal with it calmly by breaking his meridians, abolishing martial arts, and even committing suicide, but he is afraid of Mei Qian's death, he is terribly afraid.

Xie Zhaohan looked at him in a daze, his mind was in chaos, and he could only think of one sentence inexplicably: This iron rooster is born like a human being, with a nose and eyes and eyes, and it is so beautiful.

Mei Qian leaned over and turned around silently.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Cao Qin was slightly worried: "Are you two okay?"

Xie Chaohan cleared his disorganized thoughts, coughed and laughed and said, "With Miss Cao and Brother Mu here, what can happen."

Cao Qin had a look of hesitation, not knowing what to say or not: "Just now I heard that you have been calling Mei Daxia..."

"It's okay." Mei Qian interrupted her, turning the pages of the book without looking up, "Mynah is just learning the tongue."

Xie Chaohan: "..."

Caoqin nodded, put down the car curtain, and did not forget to tell her: "If you need to speak up, don't hesitate."

The carriage fell silent again, Xie Chaohan leaned on the pillow and said dryly: "Mei Jiu, when did you get so afraid of the cold, your ears turned red from the cold."

"You read it wrong." Mei Qian flipped a page, "It's cold in March in spring, but you are delicate and weak, so don't judge others by yourself."

"..." Xie Chaohan adjusted his sitting posture and moved closer, "Hey, Mei Jiu..."

Mei Qian refused to even look at him: "Don't make noise."

"..." Xie Chaohan was full of words, not knowing where to start or how to say them, he grabbed a few walnuts and threw one over, "Mei Qian."

It is rare for him to call people by their first and last names like this, either Mei Jiu or Tie Rooster, except in dreams, this is the first time he has heard him call someone like that.Mei Qian's hand flipping through the book visibly trembled, and she raised her head expressionlessly: "Don't make any noise and click on your acupoints."

"You can't use martial arts now, so order something." Xie Chaohan knocked on the table with one hand, his mind wandering around in boredom, and he didn't know where he went.

Outside the car, Mu Jiuqiu raised his horsewhip and pointed forward: "Let's drive more today, and we will be able to reach Luoyang tomorrow evening."

Playing the piano to calculate the time: "In this way, we will be able to arrive at Baichuan Villa on March 26. I sent a letter the day before yesterday, and it is expected to be within a few days."

Mu Jiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Shangguan Zhuangzhu has been doubting for many days, and he can finally explain it."

Caoqin is silent.

In the distance, a hawk pierced the sky, disappearing as soon as it appeared.

In the direction where the eagle disappeared, Hua Rulian looked up at the blue sky, and there was an unknown light in his squinted eyes: "The city master's prediction is really good, there is an ambush ahead... Tell the brothers to withdraw, they bite dogs, Don't break our people."

Jian Ling replied: "Since they have an ambush, why don't we take advantage of it and capture Mei Shangxue?"

Hua Rulian wondered, "What did you capture him for?"

Jian Ling said: "Isn't the words that the city asked me to bring to him earlier to warn him not to make a move? I think the warning is useless, so it's better to lock him up."

"That's not a warning, it's to lure him to take action." Hua Rulian laughed and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "I'm going to turn my head when I'm doing something for the mayor."

Jian Ling frowned: "I'm abducted."

Hua Rulian: "One is not enough, we have to abduct two."

Ahead, the carriage turned a big bend and headed towards the end of the road.

Hurry up and hurry up, and in the evening, I am arriving at a small town on the bank of Sishui under Songshan Mountain.The small town is sandwiched between the two big cities of Bianzhou and Luoyang. Although the place is small, there are quite a lot of people coming and going. There are several inns in this small town, and it looks quite prosperous.Along the way, except for Jian Ling who came to collect debts, he didn't encounter any other troubles. Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Mu Jiuqiu was quietly relieved, thinking that he would finally be able to say "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace" when he saw Shangguan Yun .

In order not to show off, a few people chose a well-regulated inn to stay. Ruan Xi's carriage was comfortable, but it was too eye-catching. Although he was not afraid of robbers, Mu Jiuqiu, who was used to keeping a low profile, was vaguely uneasy.After much deliberation, for the sake of prudence, Mu Jiuqiu asked very tactfully whether he should wrong Brother Mei and Brother Xie and live in the same room with him tonight.

"I can make the floor." Mu Jiuqiu said sincerely.

Mei Qian has been alone for many years and has never lived with anyone. Although a man is informal, there is nothing to be ashamed of being a man and not a girl, but when he really walked into the room, Mu Jiuqiu and Xie Chaohan began to undress At the time, I still felt inexplicably awkward.

Mu Jiuqiu looked upright: "Brother Mei still restless?"

Mei Qian silently took off her outer robe, put on layered undershirts and underwear, and prepared to go to bed.

"..."

Xie Chaohan and Mu Jiuqiu, who took off so much that only a thin layer of obscene clothes remained, looked at each other, wondering who was sick.

"Mei Jiu, don't you..." Xie Chaohan suppressed a smile, "Are you shy?"

"..." Mei Qian gritted her teeth, "Shut up."

Xie Chaohan suddenly became interested, and frivolously pinched his chin: "Or, are you actually a girl? Tsk tsk, you and I have known each other for eight years, and I didn't realize..."

Mei Qian knocked off his hand, and became angry from embarrassment: "You deserve a beating, don't you!"

Xie Chaohan laughed so hard that he almost suffered an internal injury.

Mu Jiuqiu turned around and spread another layer of quilt on the floor. After trying it, he wondered: "It's still a bit cold at night, and it's not suitable for the two of you to sleep on the floor if your injuries are still unhealed. Can Brother Mei... make it difficult?"

Mei Qian snorted, and said with a cold face: "It's not the girl's house, they just fell asleep together, what's the matter?"

Xie Chaohan nodded, turned over and got into the bed, blinked his eyes and said: "Then go to sleep."

Mei Qian: "..."

There was no star or moon tonight, and the windows and doors were tightly closed. After the candles were blown out, the room was as dark as ink, and even the outline of the corner of the bed melted into the night.

After driving all day, he was already tired, and soon there was the sound of even and long breathing on the ground——Mu Jiuqiu seemed to have fallen asleep.

Mei Qian lay straight on the bed, obviously sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

The people around him breathed so lightly that they could hardly hear him, Mei Qian couldn't help but turn to look, and at a glance, he met the pair of star-like eyes in the darkness.

With a bang in her head, Mei Qian stiffly turned her face away, and hurriedly said, "Sleep!"

Xie Chaohan laughed lowly, intermittently, faintly, like a cat's paw scratching its heart and liver, as light as a sigh: "Mei Jiu, I used to think that you were a cold-hearted person, but I never thought that you were wrong for so many years. "

Mei Qian ignored him and closed his eyes to sleep.

"So, you..." Xie Chaohan laughed more and more, breathing long and short breaths on his ears, "It turns out that you are just, just embarrassed... Hahahaha, you will be shy too!"

Mei Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped him on the face: "Shut up!"

The soft touch was attached to the palm, and Mei Qian thought of the phrase "warm and fragrant nephrite" he said for no reason.

Xiang and Yu can't be called warm and soft, but they can be touched.

Xie Zhaohan blinked, slowly stretched out his hand from under the quilt, held the hand covering his lips, and said very seriously, "Mei Jiu, I want to ask you something, tell me honestly."

Mei Qian was stunned, and lacked confidence for no reason: "Ask."

Xie Chaohan moved closer, so close that he could almost smell his breath: "Tell me, you and I competed for the first time eight years ago, when you cut my sleeve with a Fengyue weaving needle, did you do it on purpose?"

"..."

Xie Chaohan raised his eyebrows, turned to hold his wrist, and said in a low voice: "You know, our current position, a little further north, used to be the State of Wei, and there was a famous person in the State of Wei, known as Lord Longyang ..."

"..." Mei Qian closed her eyes resignedly, "Yes."

"What is it?"

"……I did it on purpose."
