Embrace the blade

Knowing that Jiang Li decided to go to Luoyang, Qi Zhaoxi was not surprised, and he followed without any discussion, which was also expected by the old man Xugu, but Jiang Lanze did not have such a tacit understanding until he walked a few miles away. Then he looked at the group of four of them wonderingly: "Hey, Qi Daxia didn't mention where he was going, why didn't you ask, did he go to Luoyang with us?"

"Yes." Qi Zhaoxi gestured to Jiang Li beside him, "I'll go wherever he goes."

Jiang Lanze sighed: "The relationship between you master and apprentice is really good."

Qi Zhaoxi couldn't help laughing, looked sideways, Jiang Li was also looking at him, when his eyes met, he immediately moved away unnaturally.

When they set off on the road early this morning, the two of them couldn't say a few words alone. Even so, he still clearly felt that Jiang Li was at a loss. Because of the sudden change in their relationship, he didn't know how to get along with each other.Qi Zhaoxi seemed to be affected by Jiang Li's emotions, so she couldn't help but get a little nervous, walking side by side, even slipping away the words she usually chatted with, and only occasionally saw Jiang Li walking a little further away, so she stretched out her hand to pull him away to near.

The woods in autumn are silent, except for the sound of footsteps stepping on grass leaves, only the beating heartbeat is left.

The old man Xugu led the way out of the valley, and the distance was shortened a lot, but after all, he was old and weak, and he had to rest for a while after walking a certain distance. Decided to spend the night in the woods.

The old man Xugu sat and rested. After Jiang Lanze piled up the branches, he had to rely on Jiang Li to start the fire. Qi Zhaoxi got up and went to the stream to catch fish. What should I say? With this hesitation, Qi Zhaoxi had already walked away, so he had no choice but to sit back and throw a branch into the fire.

Not long after, Qi Zhaoxi came back with the fish, Jiang Li couldn't help looking sideways at him, he was busy cooking the fish, his expression was quite focused, his side face was reflected by the melting fire, he was indescribably handsome nice.

After they were full, they rested. Jiang Li faced the fire, feeling a little lost for no reason. At this moment, Qi Zhaoxi suddenly bowed and came over.

Jiang Xin jumped his head and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Qi Zhaoxi stared into his eyes and smiled: "What do you think I am doing?"

Jiang Li took a hasty glance, and the other two were leaning against the tree with their eyes closed, wondering if they had fallen asleep, and hurriedly said, "They're still there."

"I'm already asleep, keep your voice down, shhh—" As she said, Qi Zhaoxi kissed him, sucking on the tip of his tongue, Jiang Li didn't really resist, and was still trying to respond jerky, Qi Zhaoxi's His breathing became short of breath, almost overwhelming the sound of the burning fire.

There was a sudden sound from Jiang Lanze's side. Jiang Li immediately pushed Qi Zhaoxi away against Qi Zhaoxi's chest, turned his head to look, but saw that Jiang Lanze's eyes were still tightly closed, he moved uncomfortably, and made a few noises Fuzzy dream talk.

Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief.

This kiss seemed to be carefully stolen, Qi Zhaoxi couldn't help laughing silently, Jiang Li turned around and glared at him.

"You've been peeking at me today, don't you want to kiss me?" Qi Zhaoxi asked softly.

"I don't want to think about it now." Jiang Li said.

"Oh." Qi Zhaoxi laughed even harder, "Then I'm leaving?"

Jiang Li grabbed him, Qi Zhaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Li said in a low voice, "It's the same if you sleep here, anyway, I woke up in your arms last time."

Qi Zhaoxi couldn't stop laughing, then sat down against the tree, stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Li into his arms, and Jiang Li obediently leaned on his shoulder.

"Is it cold?" Qi Zhaoxi asked.

Jiang Li shook his head, closed his eyes, and felt the breath and temperature of Qi Zhaoxi's body. He had been tossing and tossing the night before so that he could not fall asleep, but now it made him peaceful. no dream.

The four of them left the valley. After buying horses in nearby villages and towns, the journey was much faster. They headed north towards Luoyang. The temperature was getting colder, and the scenery along the way changed. Ye, the small sound made by it sounded quite desolate, almost making one mistakenly think that it was all the way into late autumn.

A few days later, they arrived at a town called Pingchuan. They led their horses and walked in, intending to rest for a while before buying some dry food, but as soon as they entered the town, they noticed something strange.

The street is very lively, and there are many Jianghu people with swords and swords mixed in the flow of people coming and going. Judging from the figure and pace, there are many masters among them. As soon as they saw strangers entering the town, they cast inquiring eyes one after another.

Qi Zhaoxi and Jiang Li looked at each other and confirmed that the masks on each other's faces were flawless, so they settled down and observed the surroundings secretly.

After walking a few steps, he saw a disciple of the Qingshan School wearing a green-patterned white shirt. Now even Jiang Lanze realized that something was wrong, and asked aloud, "What happened in this town? Now, it doesn’t look like they are passing by.”

"Let's see." Qi Zhaoxi said.

Jiang Li suddenly slowed down his pace, his eyes were drawn to the blacksmith's shop not far away for no reason, the owner of the shop was wiping his sweaty brow, talking to a customer next to him, the customer's face was ordinary, but his figure was somewhat familiar.Before he remembered, the guest handed over a long and thin object wrapped in cloth strips, and the shop owner took it, and immediately shouted: "Oh, why are you willing to melt such a good sword! If you don't want it anymore, sell it to us." Home is also a success!"

As he said that, the boss grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out, and the cold light shot out, almost dazzling people's eyes.Jiang Li's pupils shrank suddenly, the guest glanced out in a panic, quickly snatched back the sword, stepped through the window and jumped up to the eaves, fleeing like lightning.

"Stop!" Jiang Li yelled, flying up in an instant, and hurriedly chased after him.

A few Jianghu people who also noticed the sword light followed closely behind. Although the other Jianghu people on the street didn't know what happened, but when they saw the people rushing past on the roof holding a sword in their arms, they were suddenly excited and shouted. When they set off to catch up, there was an uproar in the crowd, and even knocked over several stalls on the side of the road. The scene was spectacular for a while.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Lanze asked in surprise, "Should we follow and see?"

"Jiang Li's martial arts are enough to deal with it. Wait for him to come back. There are too many people, so don't act rashly." Qi Zhaoxi said.

The old man Xugu who had been silent all the way suddenly said: "That is the Sword of No Doubt."

The two couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and when they looked up again, the figure had already fled away.

The man's lightness kung fu is outstanding, and he walks like flying. After climbing off the roof, he shuttled through the intertwined streets and alleys of the town. He didn't forget to grab the clothes hanging in the alley and throw them back. Leaning over deftly, he dodged the clothes that rushed towards him, and the few Jiang Hu people who were chasing after him did not react so quickly. Just keeping up had exhausted their energy, and they were covered by the sudden robes , not knowing the direction, and almost tripped the people behind.

Chasing further and further away, several main streets were left behind, the houses on both sides gradually became low and dilapidated, and the footsteps became potholed dirt roads, with sundries blocking the front from time to time, Jiang Li had to be distracted, but he Seeing that the person in front ran down wildly, his strength was gradually exhausted, so he raised his breath and chased even tighter.

However, the man suddenly rushed towards an earthen wall, and jumped in. Jiang Li quickly jumped onto the earthen wall, looked around, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Outside the earthen wall was a jumble of shacks, where poor people lived together, and it was difficult to distinguish the road, and that person was lost in the busy and noisy crowd, so he could not be seen anymore.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, and wanted to follow him to find him again, but a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him: "Don't chase, you've already lost it."

Jiang Li didn't notice that there was someone following behind him, he looked back and saw a young man stopped under the wall, looking up with a handsome and gentle face, it turned out to be the Second Young Master Shen of the Qingshan School.

Shen Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "The house over there is chaotic, you will only get lost if you go in, and before you find someone, he has already fled from other places."

Jiang Li nodded and jumped off the dirt wall.

"You are skilled, how do you call it?" He smiled at Jiang Li, "I'm Shen Zhiyan from the Qingshan sect."

Shen Zhiyan had dealt with him in Dongting, Jiang Li would not lie, and was even more worried that his identity would be exposed if he opened his mouth, so he nodded again, and Gu Zi left.

Shen Zhiyan didn't mind his indifference, so he shook his head helplessly and smiled.

When Jiang Li returned to the street, Qi Zhaoxi and the others were still waiting on the spot with their horses. When they met, they said concisely: "That man has a sword in his hand, he lost it after chasing it."

"A real sword?" Qi Zhaoxi asked.

"Well, I can see traces of recasting on the sword."

Jiang Lanze still couldn't get back to his senses: "Then what should we do?"

"Find a place to stay first, and discuss the situation after clarifying the situation here." Qi Zhaoxi said.

Elder Xu Gu also had no objection, so the four of them entered the largest inn in the town, and Qi Zhaoxi said to the shop assistant, "I want four rooms, and I'll bring some food."

But the clerk said: "Guest officer, can you take a room for a while?"

"There are four here."

"But we only have one room left here." The clerk spread his hands, "I don't know what happened these days, there are so many guests, except for this one room, only the woodshed in the backyard remains."

Before he had time to make a decision, Shen Zhiyan also walked into the inn and said, "Our Qingshan sect disciples squeeze together, and we can spare a room for you."

Jiang Lanze said in surprise: "Second brother Shen, you are here!"

"Lan Ze, long time no see." Shen Zhiyan noticed Jiang Li when he got closer, "This young hero is here too, are you together?"

Qi Zhaoxi made a decisive decision, threw the silver into the clerk's arms, and pulled Jiang Li upstairs: "That's one room."

Shen Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, watching the two of them disappear before turning to Jiang Lanze in confusion: "Aren't you together?"

"Uh... no," Jiang Lanze said bravely, "Just happened to enter the door together."

Shen Zhiyan didn't ask further questions, and after ordering his disciples to make room for them, he asked in a low voice, "Gui Yun also got the news, why did you only get sent here?"

"No, I was just passing by." Jiang Lanze motioned to the old man Xugu who was beside him, covering up his father's serious illness and meeting Jiang Li, and only briefly talked about the process of seeking medical treatment.

Shen Zhiyan didn't expect that this was the rumored miraculous doctor, so he hurriedly said hello.Afraid that he would ask more questions, Jiang Lanze hurriedly said, "Second brother, what news are you talking about? Why are there so many quacks in this town?"

Shen Zhiyan sighed: "It has something to do with your No Doubting Sword, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
