The girl's long black hair swept across Shen Yujin's cheek in the wind, causing a slight itch and a faint cold fragrance.
After running non-stop all day long, his body became stiff from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west.
Even so, he was unwilling to let go of the slender waist of the person in his arms, and instead tightened it tighter and tighter.
"Appreciate~"
Jiang Lijiu tightened the reins.
Sensing something was wrong with the person behind her, she quickly turned around and saw the man's dark, drooping eyes, unable to see clearly the expression in his eyes.
Ruzhuo Rumo Qingjun's face seemed paler, which made her heart skip a beat, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Be well, Master, don't worry."
Shen Yujin raised his eyes and smiled lightly.
"It's getting late. I remember there is a post station about ten kilometers ahead. If you get there early, you won't have to stay in a cave at night."
"Ah."
Jiang Lijiu nodded.
She turned around and changed the topic, "When we wait at the inn, I will prepare some medicine for Master to treat his injuries."
"The Ghost King Xiu Niang is so evil that she will probably need to be nursed for a few days. It's just a good time to rest there and wait for the bodyguard team to leave. Master won't have to run around day and night."
While he was talking, the horse ran very far away.
Shen Yujin listened to her quietly, and instantly calmed down the anxiety rising in his heart.
He lowered his head and chuckled, then whispered in Jiang Lijiu's ear and joked, "Master Yi, do you want to pick up a mission on the way so that you can exchange for points and spiritual stones when you return to the Immortal Sect?"
"Master..."
"The spirit stone card given to the teacher is not enough for Xiao Jiuer?"
"No."
"what is that?"
Shen Yujin's low and hoarse voice brushed into his ears, making Jiang Lijiu freeze.
She thought for a while and explained: "Disciple is used to fighting for his own things, whether it is spiritual stones or other things."
"As for the spirit stone card that Master placed here with my disciple, it will be kept for safekeeping. It cannot be used easily until the critical moment!"
For some reason, as soon as these words fell, the person behind him stopped speaking, and even the hands on his waist relaxed a little.
That aura that couldn't be ignored was gone. Jiang Lijiu breathed a sigh of relief and frowned at the same time.
For a while, neither of them said anything more.
The mountain road was unusually quiet.
Until a small bamboo building appeared at the end of his sight, Jiang Lijiu got off his horse and took the lead in breaking the silence, "Master, we are here."
Shen Yujin came back to his senses, glanced at the slightly dim sky, seemed to think of something, raised his lips and smiled, "Xiao Jiuer said that he was going to escort the escort to the imperial city, so he couldn't call me Master."
Jiang Lijiu, who was holding the reins and walking forward, stopped and asked without knowing why, "Why is this?"
"How can you let your disciples take the lead in everything? Not only do the teachers have no strength at all, they are even weak."
"This kind of escort task is not difficult. My disciple already does it often before the elixir is formed. Master, don't take it to heart." After Jiang Lijiu heard what he said, he hurriedly offered words of comfort.
"As the saying goes, the master has something to do, and the disciple will do his duty.
There are disciples in the escort team, which is enough to deal with the bandits. The master will then rest in the carriage with his master. "
Shen Yujin did not agree, but did not refute it.
Jiang Lijiu blinked and continued: "Master, don't care about other people's opinions. If someone criticizes you, I will let him crawl away."
Seeing that the man on the horse was still silent.
She pursed her lips and quickly went through what Shen Yujin had just said in her mind, then changed the subject, "Master doesn't let the disciple call me Master, so what should I call Master?"
Shen Yujin: "..."
A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and just as he was about to speak, there was a "rustling" sound from the shadows of the trees in the distance.
In an instant, Jiang Lijiu turned his head.
The sky and the earth were dim, there was no wind or waves, only the treetops were swaying.
Soon...
Thousands of crows fluttered their wings and flew up.
"quack quack~"
A harsh cry reached my ears.
She frowned, "This place is very close to the inn, and there are often people patrolling everywhere. Normally, there shouldn't be a lot of corpses."
"Looking at the number of crows, something big must have happened. The number of deaths should be no less than ten."
"I will accompany you as a teacher."
Shen Yujin was helped off his horse, and he and Jiang Lijiu walked towards the direction of the crowd of crows.
The tiger demon Wangchen, who transformed into a horse, followed obediently behind the two.
Passing through the dense bushes, Jiang Lijiu paused.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yujin followed her gaze and saw her slender ankle being held by a bloody severed hand.
A gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
The severed hand trembled visibly, and he was so startled that he immediately burrowed into the crack of the stone.
"Zheng!"
A sword light flashed.
The severed hand was firmly nailed to the ground and could not be broken free.
Jiang Lijiu protected Shen Yujin behind him and stepped forward cautiously step by step, only to find that there was a cliff behind the pile of rocks.
Mottled bloodstains stained the rocks and grass at the bottom of the cliff, and the overwhelming crows gnawed at the cold bones connected with flesh and blood. It was like a hell on earth.
Except for the severed hand that had been pierced by Ji Xue, there was no trace of sinister aura and it was extremely clean.
She turned her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, then turned around and put her arms on the ground into the spirit bag, "It's getting dark, I'll go to the inn first."
"it is good."
Shen Yujin nodded.
Jiang Lijiu cast two cleaning spells to dispel the bloody smell, held his hand, and pulled the reins back to the mountain road.
About half a stick of incense.
The elegant bamboo forest comes into view.
The melodious sound of harps and music fills the sky.
In the large courtyard, some people were practicing swordsmanship, some were boxing, some were laughing, and some were not afraid of the noise and focused on the books in their hands.
"division……"
Jiang Lijiu had just finished speaking a word when his face was suddenly held by Shen Yujin's long and evenly knuckled hands, and the cool touch of his fingertips came to his lips.
I choked on the next words.
Just listen to him chuckle, "Be obedient, just like the day in Weiyang Village, just call me brother."
"Oh."
She nodded.
Before Shen Yujin got what she wanted, she called "brother", and an attendant from the post station came running quickly.
"How many days will you two stay here, or should you finish your meal before leaving?"
His voice was loud, and the lively atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and all eyes looked over curiously.
Shen Yujin did not miss the surprise in some men's eyes when they saw Jiang Li Jiu.
He blocked the person behind him calmly, with a pair of loving eyes and a faint smile, "Is there still a quiet place to stay?"
"There is...there is also a separate courtyard."
The attendant swallowed his saliva and was mesmerized by the man for the first time.
He only felt that smile, which made his heart tremble.
So, the whole person turned around and made a gesture of invitation, "Young Master, please come this way."
As soon as the two walked away, everyone gathered together to discuss.
Some people were filled with indignation, "I asked for a separate courtyard just now, but the attendant here said there was no such thing. Why did an empty courtyard appear in the blink of an eye?"
"I think you just want the girl to live in the outer building so that you can feast your eyes on her, right?" This man's words made a group of people burst into laughter.
The scholar put down the bamboo slip in his hand and reminded him, "Don't have wishful thinking. The young man and the girl who just walked past are extraordinary. The horses are strong and spirited. It is unusual for them to be high-ranking officials."
With this reminder, everyone suddenly realized, "I remember that Princess Hongling of Wuling Kingdom was taken back by her brother to attend the wedding of Princess Tianzhao. Are these two the princess and the prince?"
Jiang Lijiu didn't know that these people were discussing his identity.
The horse was tied into the stable by the attendant.
When she saw people retreating, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the quiet courtyard.
Shen Yujin walked straight to the main house, but heard the clear voice of the girl behind her, "Brother, I will live with you."
His footsteps paused, his dark jade eyes suddenly trembled, and he suddenly looked back.
After running non-stop all day long, his body became stiff from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west.
Even so, he was unwilling to let go of the slender waist of the person in his arms, and instead tightened it tighter and tighter.
