Qingfeng Xu Xu

"Senior brother? Is there a problem?"

Xu Qingjiu has been talking to Xu Mulin with such a polite smile for many days. It is different from any previous quarrels and disagreements. The more polite Xu Qingjiu is, the more it shows that his attitude towards Xu Mulin has changed a lot. With the change, the distance between the two people is not even a little bit separated. Xu Mulin feels that maybe a quarrel between Xu Qingjiu and him will not make him feel more distressed than this, but even if Xu Mulin just wants to be with Xu Qingjiu After just a few words of communication, Xu Qingjiu would go far away without giving Xu Mulin any chance.

"I just heard you say you drank alcohol, so I made some sobering soup. You can drink some to avoid having a headache tomorrow morning."

"That’s fine, thank you, senior brother."After saying that, Xu Qingjiu picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he still said the same words he had said many times,"Thank you. Brother, is there anything else you can do? If not, I will rest first."

Faced with this"sense of distance", Xu Mulin didn't know what to say.

Xu Qingjiu was still as distant as ever, but this time he said a few more words,"Senior brother, please rest early and recuperate. On the way."After Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, he smiled at Xu Mulin, nodded and closed the door again.

Xu Mulin looked down at the water glass that Xu Qingjiu didn't pay attention to at all. He thought he could use this as an opening, but Xu Qingjiu seemed to have already I completely forgot that I selfishly added some bitter herbs to the hangover soup, but Xu Qingjiu didn't care at all.

It's not that Xu Qingjiu didn't care, it was just that he was very bitter in his heart, and even if the bitterness in his mouth was more bitter, he would hide it. I couldn't help but think in my heart.

The next day, as Wu Jinghua guessed, Xu Mulin didn't go out the whole day. Xu Qingjiu, on the other hand, got up early to practice swordsmanship, and had dinner with Wu Jinghua and the others at noon. During the meal, they heard that Wu Yang would not be accompanying them. , after dinner, he went to find Wu Yang to compete. After competing with Wu Yang, he competed with Wu Jinghua again. He won both games, but he didn't seem very happy, but he pointed at Wu Yang and Wu Jinghua with great interest. Where to move quickly, and where to defend appropriately for later attacks.

Xu Qingjiu talked enthusiastically, Wu Jinghua and Wu Yang tried hard to listen carefully. During this period, Li Jihua saw that Xu Mulin was not there, so he thought about it and went to Xu Mulin After searching for a room, Xu Mulin opened the door and was more polite than Xu Qingjiu. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Jihua and then said nothing more. Li Jihua had no choice but to bite the bullet. After a few more pleasantries, he left.

Li Jihua didn't know how Xu Mulin treated other people, but judging from himself, Wu Jinghua and Wu Yang, every time Xu Mulin got along with a few people, he would only reply or participate in Xu Mulin's behavior. Qingjiu would only say a few words when the topic was about him, but now, Xu Qingjiu refused to communicate, and Xu Mulin seemed to have closed himself off again, speaking less than ever before. Earlier,

Xu Qingjiu also Before arriving at Tianzong, Xu Enze often said that Xu Mulin was too silent, but he also thought that maybe it was because he lost his parents when he was young, so he was extra quiet. Later when Xu Qingjiu arrived, Xu Mulin just followed Xu Enze's instructions. He looked after Xu Qingjiu, but he still didn't talk much. Later, I don't know who channeled whom, and the two began to communicate slowly. At first, Xu Mulin spoke more, and Xu Qingjiu listened patiently. Later, Xu Qingjiu gradually talked more, and Xu Mulin became the one who listened again.

Speaking of which, Xu Mulin had locked himself in his room these past few days, got dressed early, and sat at the table, listening to Xu Mulin's voice outside. The sound of Qingjiu practicing swordplay. At first, he went out to watch Xu Qingjiu practice swordsmanship a few times, hoping to have a few words with Xu Qingjiu, but Xu Qingjiu just pretended not to see him. Xu Mulin didn't know that he What kind of feeling is in his heart? In the past, he only thought that if Xu Qingjiu knew his thoughts one day, it might bring a huge gap in the relationship between the two people. But now, Xu Mulin has no idea what happened, but the result has been Such a situation was caused. Xu Mulin had guessed that it was because he had been too harsh on Xu Qingjiu that day, but Xu Mulin concluded that Xu Qingjiu could not be alienated from him because of this. Xu Qingjiu was unwilling to communicate, and Xu Mulin would not She knew how to know Xu Qingjiu's feelings, and she also didn't know how to make Xu Qingjiu willing to communicate with him.

Early on the third day, the four of them set off as scheduled. Although they had to leave some time to pack up, when they set off, the four of them People travel lightly.

The night before leaving

"I hope that the relationship between Qingjiu and Senior Brother Xu can be eased along the way. It would be too uncomfortable if it stays like this in recent days."Wu Jinghua took off his clothes and sat down on the bed. After finishing speaking, when Li Jihua didn't answer, he sat up again, looked at Li Jihua and said,"Jihua, what do you think? I still prefer..."

"It's not them I'm talking to you now. Can you answer me more seriously?"Li Jihua sat at the table and looked at Wu Jinghua very seriously. Seeing that Wu Jinghua started to change the subject again, Li Jihua interrupted him directly. Wu

Xun had been chasing Wu Jinghua fiercely before. When Wu Jinghua was running around looking for Li Jihua, he wanted to She was always paying attention to Li Jihua's situation and was wary of Wu Xun's actions. Later, she returned to Taiyuan. Although she had some accidents, she was basically safe. But Wu Xun's actions would never stop suddenly. Wu Jinghua understood this. Li Jihua naturally understands, and now he has promised Xu Qingjiu to travel together, but Li Jihua has been confirming his ideas with Wu Jinghua. Li Jihua does not want Wu Jinghua to be too involved in risks. Although Li Jihua himself said before that he would go to Luzhou, if it is time The situation is indeed not good, so Li Jihua may not really want to go. Li Jihua's considerations will first focus on Wu Jinghua.

"It's okay, you've asked me a lot since last night...Many times." Seeing Li Jihua's nervous and serious look, Wu Jinghua had no choice but to answer seriously, but she was afraid that Li Jihua would still be worried, so she stood up and walked to Li Jihua, looking down at Li Jihua,"Maybe he has been waiting for me to go out. , after all, if I die on the high balcony, maybe there will be some sensible person who can see that my death is related to him, and one day someone will inevitably poke him in the spine and make him restless in that position. But if I die outside, he can pretend to be sad for a while, then get what he wants, and maybe blame my death on the sect where the incident occurred. Then he can come to ask for an explanation and continue to cause trouble. There is a lot of fuss, but it can destroy all the rumors during this period."

"so what? I know all this, so what?"Although Wu Jinghua was indeed saying something related to the matter, Li Jihua was eager to know Wu Jinghua's clear thoughts,"Now that Du Shengyang has too much time to take care of himself, it is completely impossible for him to reach out to me again. You should stay in the sun."..."

"I don't! Wu Jinghua interrupted Li Jihua without hesitation,"You are obviously going to Luzhou, how could there be no danger at all?" On his side, I have made the last concession. If he still wants to kill me, just come."

"what have you done? Also, where is the person from Taiyuan Prefecture that you left behind? What did you find out in your interrogation?"

"he? I let him go a long time ago, what else could he say that I don’t know about?"

"Let go? Then why did you keep him? I haven't heard you mention it since then."

"If you don't let him go, you can't let him have the New Year's dinner. In fact, he was not asked to do anything except write a letter and ask him to hand it over to the person in Taiyuan Prefecture."

Wu Jinghua put on a single coat. After standing for a while, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, so he pulled Li Jihua to the bed, wrapped himself in a quilt, and then continued:"I don't have much to say to him, just tell him , I don’t want what he wants. If he still wants to die, then he has to work harder. When I no longer have any feelings for him, he will be the one to die. After all, I can’t hide forever. Here, wait and see if he will really find out. Besides, I have to go back to Guxiazhuang with you. If there is no result in this matter, will I be so worried on the road? That's not my style"

"...Now that you've decided, I won't say anything more. Anyway, I'm here."After saying that, Li Jihua turned around and hugged Wu Jinghua, buried his face in Wu Jinghua's neck and shoulder, and said something angrily. Wu Jinghua really didn't hear it clearly, but when he turned his head and saw Li Jihua's red ears, he heard it clearly again.

"Jihua is really good at choosing time. He knows that he has to be on his way tomorrow, so he doesn’t think I dare, right?"

Hearing this, Li Jihua buried his head in laughter and smiled for a while. He seemed to be unable to stop. Then he became a little daring. He raised his head and kissed the corner of Wu Jinghua's mouth. He did not forget to reply firmly:"Yes."

Seeing Li Jihua's proud look, Wu Jinghua couldn't help but laugh, but suddenly he had a plan in mind. He lowered his head and said in Li Jihua's ear:"Jihua, I, too, like you very much."Seeing that Li Jihua's ears had faded and turned as red as blood again, Wu Jinghua's smile became more and more proud, but seemed to think it was not enough. Wu Jinghua simply kissed Li Jihua's ears,"I'll pay you back, remember. Come again. After saying that, he pulled Li Jihua to lie down on the bed, and seemed to sigh before saying:"I have to go on a journey tomorrow morning, so get some rest.""

In fact, Wu Jinghua's provocation was indeed useful to Wu Xun. The four of them had been assassinated by ambushes no less than seven or eight times since they left Taiyuan. However, the few of them were not in a hurry. As soon as Xu Qingjiu and Xu Mulin's The relationship was still at a stalemate. Even when Wu Jinghua occasionally urged her to say a few words during meals, she was very polite and distant. Furthermore, perhaps because both of them were holding their breath, they basically didn't use it in the face of the assassinations along the way. How Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua acted, Xu Qingjiu didn't even use hidden weapons, he directly killed them with a single blow. Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua were shocked to see them.

"You won't take it out on us one day, right?"Wu Jinghua muttered quietly next to Li Jihua. LiHua glanced at Wu Jinghua helplessly and could only sigh. Along the way, we couldn’t actually say we were in a hurry. We just dragged on as long as we could. It was basically the same as traveling in the mountains and rivers. It was just that it was still snowing in the North, and the mountains and rivers were really"trembling".

A few people had just left Xiangzhou and entered Jiangling Prefecture. The clear sky began to snow inexplicably again. They thought it was just a fleeting light snow, but unexpectedly it became heavier and heavier, and the sky turned dark in an instant. Seeing that there was still a sign of a heavy snowstorm, the four of them had no choice but to hurry up. However, before they could find a foothold, the howling wind and snow had already arrived. Seeing that there were finally traces of human smoke ahead, the wind and snow actually began to subside. By the time I stepped into the threshold of an inn I had just found in Jiangling Mansion, the wind and snow had also stopped.

"Is this snow chasing us?"Wu Jinghua said angrily as he looked at the snow piled thickly on his shoulders.

"Okay, let's settle down and change all our clothes first, otherwise we'll catch a cold."

Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu went upstairs first. Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua went to the store to explain a few words before following them upstairs.

"What a coincidence, I was looking for you."Looking at the four people entering the store, a man who was drinking upstairs said with a satisfied smile. The rooms for the four people were connected anyway. Xu Qingjiu walked in front and casually entered a room at the end of the corridor near the street. After entering the room, he closed the door with his backhand. Xu Mulin followed and walked naturally to the room opposite Xu Qingjiu.

Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua then went upstairs, but they moved much faster than Xu Qingjiu and Xu Mulin. The corridor was late. When the two of them were nowhere to be seen, Li Jihua stepped forward and knocked on the door. He said that he had ordered food and invited them to go downstairs to eat together. Xu Qingjiu gave a brief reply, but there was no one in Xu Mulin's room. A half-sentence reply came out, but in recent times, everyone has become accustomed to Xu Mulin's silence. Li Jihua didn't think much and followed Wu Jinghua downstairs first. After

Xu Qingjiu changed her clothes, she looked at him when she went out The lights in the three rooms next door had already been turned off. Thinking that the three of them should all go down, they also thought about going down quickly. But after Xu Qingjiu took a few steps, he suddenly thought that the person who had just followed him was Xu Mulin, so he walked in. Finally, it seemed that she only heard the sound of Xu Mulin entering the door, but did not hear when Xu Mulin came out. After thinking about it, Xu Qingjiu went back and knocked on Xu Mulin's door. Seeing that there was no reply, Xu Qingjiu tried again. She shouted, but there was still no movement. The door was just ajar. Xu Qingjiu pushed the door open and went in. Suddenly, a gust of snowy wind blew in from the crack of the window. The cold made Xu Qingjiu shiver. There were no lights in the room, and the surroundings were dark. It was very dark, and Xu Qingjiu couldn't see clearly where Xu Mulin was, so he had to try calling a few times, but he didn't get any reply after calling several times. Suddenly, an uneasy thought came from the bottom of Xu Qingjiu's heart. Xu Qingjiu hurriedly lit the lamp and saw that Xu Mulin's baggage was still on the table and had not been opened. Except for one stool in the room, it had been moved. Xu Qingjiu took a closer look and found that there was something beside the stool. There were footprints on the back of the stool, and the toes were facing the stool, and one of them extended to the window.

When Xu Qingjiu walked to the window and saw the marks on the window sill, her whole back felt cold instantly, without a moment's hesitation. Xu Qingjiu picked up the sword that Xu Mulin put on the table and was about to jump out of the window. The moment he jumped out of the window, Xu Qingjiu thought that the person who could take Xu Mulin away without knowing it must be very capable, and headed towards He yelled outside the house and jumped out of the window, looking for suspicious footprints in the back alley.
