【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Yuan Zhongxin's face was very serious, and he glanced at Ning Shu who was eating candied haws and still full of surprise, feeling very subtle.

It's like your old enemy, running towards you shouting and killing, but it turns out that you can make peace by giving candied haws - if it wasn't for the previous contact, Yuan Zhongxin really thought that Ning Shu was out of his mind.

Yuan Zhongxin crossed his arms and said sullenly: "Have you finished eating?"

Ning Shu bit the last candied haws, and his mouth was full of crunches. After a while, he spat out the hawthorn core and threw away the thin bamboo sticks. , Lazily bit down one, and ate it like no one else was there.

Yuan Zhongxin: "..."

They have been on the road for three days. This guy either eats or drinks along the way. He is so leisurely as if he is out for a stroll. There is no rush at all. He should have entered the Daxia border within ten days. According to their speed , it may take another five days.

Ning Shu was riding on horseback, his eyes were darting back and forth to scan the scenery of the small town. Suddenly, he grabbed the corner of Yuan Zhongxin's clothes, and the latter turned to look at him. shop.

Yuan Zhongxin was expressionless.

Yes, I can arrive in Daxia in 20 days, and the three characters "Yuan Zhongxin" are written upside down a hundred times.

Ning Shu wasn't pretending to be dumb, he really couldn't speak. Yuan Zhongxin took care of everything that needed to be negotiated with the outside world along the way. Pulled into the backyard of the inn to feed grass.

Yuan Zhongxin led Ning Shu to his own room, threw him the door lock key, but did not leave immediately, and sat casually on the window sill, with his left foot stepping on the crossbar without any image, and his right foot naturally hanging down. Swinging, swinging once and for all, it is a natural and unrestrained style.

Ning Shu glanced at him, and consciously went to the waiter in the shop to ask for a water heater, and prepared to make a pot of tea—he has practiced martial arts with a sword in his hands all year round, but he is still unbelievably beautiful. The flying is eye-catching, and Yuan Zhongxin also finds it pleasing to watch.

Yuan Zhongxin chuckled suddenly, his eyes were unclear.

Ning Shu, who was pouring tea leaves, stopped his hands, looked at Yuan Zhongxin suspiciously, and asked with his eyes: What are you laughing at?

Yuan Zhongxin smacked his lips: "You said that when I was in Qinghe Town, why didn't I notice your hands? Such an obvious flaw just slipped by under my nose."

Ning Shu glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, then retracted his eyes, and went to wash his tea.

Yuan Zhongxin felt bad all of a sudden, he understood that Ning Shu's eyes were scolding him for being stupid, but he didn't care, he turned his head and continued to look at the street scene below, but his attention was obviously not on the street scene, his eyes were deep.

After an unknown amount of time, the crisp sound of a teacup touching the table attracted Yuan Zhongxin to turn his head. He saw a cup of tea with white mist rising in front of Ning Shu, and the other party stared at him intently. Then he came to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup, but did not open his mouth to drink it, but sipped it carefully, Yuan Zhongxin said suddenly: "Brother Ning, I have seen enough of the Song Dynasty these days, and tomorrow I can go to the tea ceremony." Are you on your way?"

Ning Shu paused while serving the tea, and looked up at Yuan Zhongxin who was tasting the tea, with an unfathomable expression.

Yuan Zhongxin twitched the corner of his mouth: "No matter how long you delay, I will definitely see Ning Qi. Do you think you can avoid the battle between the Secret Pavilion and the Yinbing Pavilion if you procrastinate?"

Yuan Zhongxin is not stupid, Ning Shu went round and round and took him around long distances, and he had to find a small town post to rest every now and then. Originally, the purpose of riding a horse was to increase his speed, but the three-day journey was carried out by Yuan Zhongxin. When the mission sent by Your Excellency Mi, he can finish it in one day.

What's more, Ning Shu is a Yin soldier, and he can be led by Yuan Zhongxin if he doesn't know the way. It is too far-fetched to insist that Ning Shu is not physically strong enough to travel long distances. In this way, there is only one explanation left, Ning Shu Playing for time.

As for the reason, Yuan Zhongxin asked the next moment: "Why, little brother Ning is used to staying in the Song Dynasty, and he doesn't want to miss Shu?"

Ning Shu looked away silently, lightly dipped the tip of his right index finger in the tea, and swiped it leisurely on the table.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows. He didn't need to go behind Ning Shu to look at it. Ning Shu's writing was actually upside down, and he could see it clearly at a glance.

Ning wrote that Ning Qi wants to kill you.

Yuan Zhongxin sneered: "So, are you helping me postpone my death?"

Ning Shu spread his palms to wipe off the water stains, dipped in the water and continued to write: If you regret it, there is still time.

After writing this sentence, Ning Qi stopped, staring straight at the silent Yuan Zhongxin, as if waiting for him to say something back.

Yuan Zhongxin, you still have time to turn around and visit the secret pavilion, as long as you want.

Yuan Zhongxin immediately understood the deep meaning of Ning Shu. The smile on his lips was restrained, and there was a little coolness in his brows and eyes. He was very good at reading people. Usually, he could see the general nature of that person with just a glance, but now, he couldn't see through it. Ning Shu is even more uncertain about his position. Those who don't know right from wrong may think that Ning Shu is Tang Shun's informant in Yinbing Pavilion, but Yuan Zhongxin knows very well that he is not.

No, why should you help him?

What made Yuan Zhongxin even more puzzled was that deep down in his heart, he was willing to believe everything Ning Shu said, rather than thinking that Ning Shu was playing hard to get, digging a hole for him to jump into.

Ning Shu took his time and let Yuan Zhongxin's eyes look back and forth, as frank and upright as the mountains and lakes.

Yuan Zhongxin stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Ning Shu's side, raised Ning Shu's chin with his right hand, and made him face himself, Yuan Zhongxin leaned over and carefully looked at Ning Shu's face inch by inch, his eyes focused , nuanced.

Ning Shu was startled by his sudden action, his eyes widened. The teacup in his right hand stopped in mid-air, his figure froze, and his mind was empty. Turn left and turn right.

Yuan Zhongxin gave a suspicious "Hey", not only didn't retreat, but moved closer and closer, even holding Ning Shu's cheek with both hands, rubbing his cool fingertips back and forth along the left and right jawlines, as if to Find something.

Ning Shu was completely stiff, he didn't dare to move, Yuan Zhongxin's warm breath hit his face softly, his heart trembled involuntarily, but it didn't matter whether he was tempted or not.

After a while, Yuan Zhongxin let go of Ning Shu, and there seemed to be a trace of annoyance in his eyes. He pursed his lips, sat back to the original position, and drank tea without saying a word.

Ning Shu's mind returned completely at the moment Yuan Zhongxin left. He suddenly understood what Yuan Zhongxin's actions were for just now. He frowned, dipped in water and wrote: Do you suspect that I am disguised?

Yuan Zhongxin didn't even look at it, and said directly: "I received information that the children of Lou Changsi and Li Tangxi are twins, that is to say, I have an older brother or younger brother. For my sake, I thought it was you who disguised himself as him and came to find me."

Back then, An Lijiu was able to lurk beside Lin Yao in a different form. For those of them who walk on the blade and blood, changing their appearance is like a routine.

Yuan Zhongxin hooked the corners of his mouth in an unclear way: "It's a pity, I wanted to see the difference between people in this world who have the same appearance as me..."

Ning Shu's indifferent and dark pupils trembled slightly. He pinched the edge of the table with his fingers, and after the water on the table disappeared, he wrote again: You don't have twins.

Yuan Zhongxin glanced at the beautiful words on the table, his face darkened, and an inexplicable fire surged in his heart, and he didn't know why he was angry.

Ning Shu looked at the change in Yuan Zhongxin's face, and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that Yuan Zhongxin actually hoped that the rumored twins would really exist in his heart. His mother had passed away, his father was imprisoned, and his family was broken up. If there is still a person in this world who is close to him by blood, Yuan Zhongxin probably looks forward to it.

Just now, Yuan Zhongxin was still looking forward to whether his elder brother or younger brother came to help him.

Who doesn't wish there could be one more family member in this world to dispel the coldness of loneliness?

Ning Shu added a new cup of tea for Yuan Zhongxin, and after hesitating for a moment, wrote: Go back.

Yuan Zhongxin stared straight at Ning Shu, his tone was not kind, and he was no longer as loose as before: "What do you want to do?"

"You are my enemy, but you are doing what only an ally would do—Ning Shu, who are you?"

Ning Shu listened quietly to Yuan Zhongxin's question, shook off the water on his fingertips, and wiped it again, obviously not going to answer Yuan Zhongxin's question.

Yuan Zhongxin knew that he couldn't pry his mouth open, his face sank for a moment, and then he smiled again, with a flirtatious look, he drank the tea in one gulp, put down the cup and got up: "Brother Ning, Rest early tonight, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, so I won't bother you."

Ning Shu watched Yuan Zhongxin leave the guest room, turned around and closed the door, and his footsteps gradually moved away. Not long after, he heard the "squeak" sound of the door opening of the guest room on the right.

Ning Shu looked down at the three characters on the table that were about to be air-dried, with mixed flavors. He knew the truth, but he could only shut up and watch those people jump into the pit one by one. micro.

This feeling is terrible.

The next day, Yuan Zhongxin and Ning Shu set off early and started on their way. This time, Ning Shu never took a detour, nor did he fall off his horse to rest at every turn. Secretly complaining, he felt that he had stimulated Ning Shu's "fragile" heart, which made him run all the way, but Yuan Zhongxin endured it - the result of the frantic rush was that within seven days, the two finally arrived at the Northwest Territory of the Great Song Dynasty .

Because of Ning Shu's special status, the two abandoned their horses and slipped out of the border overnight. Ning Shu took Yuan Zhongxin all the way west and entered the primeval forest originally marked on the dungeon map. After arranging the horses, according to Ning Shu's original plan, within three days, Yuan Zhongxin will be able to meet Ning Qi in the Yinbing Pavilion.

Yuan Zhongxin rode his horse so that his mouth was dry. He glared at Ning Shu resentfully while drinking water, and then he said: "Brother Ning, do you have some prejudice against me? I want to see Ning Qi. But it didn't say that I was rushing to see Ning Qi, what are you asking for if you run so fast?"

Ning Shu remained silent, holding on to the water bag to quench his thirst, but the water bag was empty and there was no sip of water left. Ning Shu was in a dilemma. They were a little far away from the small stream, and it would take two or three hours to run back and forth to fetch water— — Ning Shu had no choice but to shift his gaze to Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan Zhongxin paused when he drank water, and raised his brows meanly: "Hey, did someone run out of water to drink?"

Ning Shu: "..."

Yuan Zhongxin smiled and was very friendly: "Want to drink water? Please."

Ning Shu had a wooden face.

Yuan Zhongxin's playful look made him feel unworthy of a beating: "Are you still going on your way later? Are you still galloping? Do you still dare to lose your temper?"

The corners of Ning Shu's eyes twitched, and he shook his head stiffly.

For water, he endured.
