They waited until dawn, and none of them slept.Loma's body was sprinkled with loose powder, so it could be said that there was no bones left.Although the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up, and there was no peculiar smell in the house, there was only one bed, which was just right for two people.There were four of them in total, they simply sat together, none of them slept, they just opened their eyes and thought about things.

The sun was out, and the chickens raised by someone outside were crowing very loudly.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of shouting outside.Hearing the sound, Jiang Chi got up from the stool, ready to leave the place.

Zhu Tingzai learned that Lu Xiaofeng didn't bring any money with him, so he hurriedly found some money, intending to stop the carriage for Jiang Chi and Gong Jiu, so that they could go to the Xiuyu Valley mentioned by Lu Xiaofeng.But Jiang Chi didn't accept his money.

"For him, taking something is a debt of favor, and he has to pay it back." Seeing Zhu Ting holding the money bag, and watching Jiang Chi's leaving back, Lu Xiaofeng showed a puzzled face, and hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Zhu Ting nodded with a smile, "That's fine, I don't owe anyone, I'm at ease."

After stopping a carriage, Jiang Chi just sat on it when he saw Gong Jiu opposite him, looking a little haggard.

"Ah Jiu, if you are sleepy, sleep in the carriage for a while. Lu Xiaofeng said, from here to Xiuyu Valley, it will take one day at the fastest, or two days at the slowest time." Jiang Chi sighed softly.

"I don't dare to sleep, what if my brother loses me while I'm asleep?" Gong Jiu pretended to be wronged.

"If you're worried, just grab my sleeve, I can't run away without clothes." Hearing what Gong Jiu said, Jiang Chi sat forward for a few minutes, and stuffed the corner of the sleeve into Gong Jiu's palm inside.

He did leave Gong Jiu behind a few days ago, but now if he just said verbally that he would not leave, it is normal for Gong Jiu not to believe it.Seeing that Gong Jiu was clearly sleepy but still had to hold on, he couldn't bear it.

"What if brother cut his sleeve and ran away?" Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows lightly, looking at Jiang Chi's sleeve in his palm, with a smile in his eyes.

"You're somewhat clueless."

After Jiang Chi finished speaking, he raised the curtain of the car and looked out, without giving Gong Jiu any more eyes.But even so, he still stretched out his other hand from his sleeve and placed it on Gong Jiu's palm.

The slightly cool touch did not make Gong Jiu feel uncomfortable.Looking at Jiang Chi's slender fingers in the palm of his hand, Gong Jiu clenched his hands tightly with a smile on his face.

"Brother is cold, my fingers are so cold, I don't know if other places are cold. If you feel cold, you can get closer to me like you did on the wooden board last night." Gong Jiu said, pulling Jiang Chi's hand closer There was a breath of warm air on his lips.

"Are you still sleepy? Sleep honestly if you're sleepy, and let me go if you're not sleepy." Jiang Chi frowned, and bent the fingers that touched Gong Jiu's lips.

Hearing the sound, Gong Jiu leaned sideways on the edge of the carriage, stared at Jiang Chi's side face for a while, and then closed his eyes reluctantly.He was indeed sleepy. These days, he was always worried that the person in front of him would leave, so he couldn't take a good rest.

"I was still wondering if you were really like Ximen Chuuxue, who only had a sword in his eyes, but you only had so-called prestige in your eyes." Gong Jiu was a little depressed, but continued to pretend to be relaxed: " I tried again and again, always thinking that I have a place in your heart."

Although Jiang Chi was silent, his hand holding the curtain of the car froze.Although the wind outside was not strong, the wind blowing in from outside the car curtain could make him feel chilly all over his body.Jiang Chi thought about it, his whole body, probably only the hand held by Gong Jiu was hot.

A burst of flute sounds like gurgling water came, quieting down the originally bustling street.Even the coachman, who was still driving the horse, tightened the reins and stopped.Although the sound of the flute is beautiful, it will affect a person's state of mind.When the sound of the flute approached, Jiang Chi pierced Gong Jiu's acupuncture point with a silver needle, sealing off his ear consciousness.

A slight stabbing pain came from her body, Gong Jiu frowned, but did not open her eyes.

All pedestrians who heard the sound of the flute stopped.Originally they looked different, but at this moment they all turned into the same look of enjoyment.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the melodious sound of the flute suddenly became sharp, and everyone who was enjoying themselves suddenly became a little irritable.

Looking at the people with scarlet eyes not far away, Jiang Chi lowered the curtain, pretending nothing happened.It wasn't until the sound of cursing and the sound of smashing things came that Jiang Chi had no reaction.

Jiang Chi turned his head to look at Gong Jiu, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the steady breathing of the person in front of him.

"Your Excellency has played the flute on it for so long, do you want to control whose mind?" Jiang Chi raised his eyes, looked at a piece of cloth sunken on the top of the carriage, and said lightly.

"You killed brother Chong's master, do you think he will let you go?" Ren Yingying pushed hard with her toes, breaking the cloth covering the top of the carriage, and she stood firmly beside Jiang Chi.

"Linghu Chong?" Jiang Chi raised his eyes, saw Ren Yingying's domineering appearance, smiled softly, and continued: "He is a big man, if he wants to kill me, he can do it himself. It's nothing to send a girl over to trouble me."

Ren Yingying heard the words, pressed the jade flute to Jiangchi's neck, her eyes were cold, and said: "I want to come by myself. You helped me once at Heimuya, and Brother Chong took you to Huashan. This is enough. After that You did a good deed by getting rid of the hypocrite Yue Buqun. But that man is brother Chong's master after all, if I don't let you fake your death, he will come to you sooner or later."

"I will release the news that Jiang Chi is dead. In this way, Brother Chong will not care about a dead person, and you may live a few more years. If the two of you meet in the future, maybe he has let go of the hatred in his heart." Ren Yingying said, pushing the jade flute closer, "But if you continue to spread rumors and attack brother badly, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

"You are too arrogant." After Jiang Chi finished speaking, he noticed that Gong Jiu had moved, so he lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand still held by Gong Jiu.Seeing that Gong Jiu didn't intend to wake up, Jiang Chi's originally indifferent words became softer at this moment, "Your flute sound can only control some ordinary people, but people who walk in the rivers and lakes can never Most of them are not ordinary. If Ah Jiu is still resting, do you think you have the opportunity to show off these little tricks in front of me?"

"You want me to see your ability clearly, and you want me to pretend to die in the world according to your wishes?" Jiang Chi took a breath, rubbed his forehead with the other hand, and continued softly: "It's a pity Ah, you used the wrong method, I don’t take the soft and the hard.”

Ren Yingying frowned when she heard this, and was about to say something more, when she saw her flute was hit by a flying stone in Jiang Chi's sleeve, and a crack was split in the middle.

Cracks appeared on the flute, and the sound of cursing and smashing things from not far away stopped abruptly.

"In this case, you can fend for yourself." After Ren Yingying finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and left the carriage with light work.When the carriage got farther and farther away from her, Ren Yingying thought for a moment, and couldn't help but transmit a voice: "If you hurt Linghu Chong in the future, don't blame me for being cruel."

After Ren Yingying finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave when she saw a flying knife flying out of the carriage and stabbing at her heart.If she hadn't reacted in time, the flying knife might have killed her.

Jiang Chi looked at the carriage that had been stabbed with a flying knife, and looked through his clothes in embarrassment. He had no money on him.On the contrary, Gong Jiu's arms were bulging, as if he had a money pouch.

"I said why can't I hear the sound, so it was my elder brother who blocked my ear consciousness." Gong Jiu opened his eyes, glanced sideways at the place that was stuck by the silver needle, and smiled with his lips curled up.

The moment the flute sounded, he woke up.When Jiang Chi pierced his acupoint with a silver needle, he moved the acupoint first.

Seeing Gong Jiu woke up, after taking off the silver needle for him, Jiang Chi withdrew the hand held by Gong Jiu, and said seriously: "Ah Jiu, what you are carrying in your arms is a money pouch?"

Hearing this, Gong Jiu pulled off his clothes with some doubts, revealing the money bag that Jiang Chi threw to him in the dilapidated attic, "Brother asked why?"

"Could it be that my brother secretly fell in love with someone's girl behind my back, and wants to spend money to marry her?" Before Jiang Chi could respond, Gong Jiu continued pretending to be angry.

"I'm paying the driver for the carriage with silver." Jiang Chi said helplessly.

"Then brother has no one he likes?"

Gong Jiu stared at Jiang Chi's face and asked word by word.

Jiang Chi frowned. If it was the past, he would be able to respond without thinking.But now his heart seemed to be fettered, and he didn't know how to respond.There was silence for a while, until Jiang Chi was stared at by Gong Jiu until his scalp became numb, and then he said vaguely: "Except you, no one can control me."

"You two! The small town ahead is not suitable for carriages. You need to borrow two horses to pass." The coachman tightened the reins, fearing that the two people in the carriage would not be able to hear him, and shouted loudly.

Because the coachman spoke too loudly, Gong Jiu didn't hear anything Jiang Chi said.He wanted Jiang Chi to say it again, but he saw this man got off the carriage and walked towards the town without looking back.

Gong Jiu quite innocently took out his money bag, paid the coachman, and walked dozens of steps before he could catch up with Jiang Chi.

"Good brother, what's the matter with you?" Gong Jiu lowered his eyes, just about to ask Jiang Chi why he left in such a hurry, when he caught a glimpse of his reddish ears.This made Gong Jiu wonder what exactly Jiang Chi said just now.

"It's hot." Jiang Chi clenched his hands, not knowing why he felt hot.

"Really——" Gong Jiu raised his head, looked at the cloudy sky, and deliberately elongated his tone.

"I think this town is a bit weird, go in and follow me later, if you get lost, I won't look for you." Jiang Chi pursed his lips lightly, looking at the ancient town in front of him, feeling bad in his heart premonition.

"Okay, I promise to follow you closely." After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she raised her eyes and saw a man in yellow shirt standing in the small town.Gong Jiu could tell at a glance that he was the one who had murdered Jiangchi in Prince Taiping's mansion.

But what Jiang Chi noticed was not the man in the yellow shirt, but Wuhua who was leaning on the stone pillar in the town.
