In the early morning, Zhao Shitu and Shangguan came to the post road outside the city gate as promised.

They also came with a horse, which was a horse from the Escort Bureau. When the horse was taken out of the stable in the middle of the night and brought to this wilderness, it was unavoidable to be panic-stricken. Get round and look around.

Zhao Shitu stroked its mane, put his face against its neck, and let out a grunting sound from the depths of his throat to comfort him. Fortunately, the horse was familiar with his escort and calmed down slowly. Only then did Zhao Shitu relax. Take a breath.

He and his mount stared at each other, and said with emotion: "Now you will suffer with us."

The horse neighed ignorantly. It didn't know that the road ahead was difficult, which was a blessing for it.

The sigh reached his throat, and was swallowed by Zhao Shitu again.He is not a horse, of course he knows that the future is unpredictable, but at the moment, excess worries will only make the road ahead more difficult.

When he was in a daze, Shangguanqing went around behind him, carefully pressed against his back, and put an arm around his shoulder.

Zhao Shitu was stunned for a moment, his nostrils were quickly filled with the familiar breath, and a gentle warmth radiated all over his body.

They curled up in the abandoned house last night, sitting side by side in the corner, leaning on each other's shoulders, and taking a nap with their eyes closed.At that time, Shangguanqing also had the same temperature on her body.

They didn't dare to sleep too deeply, so they could only close their eyes and raise their hearts. They had to set off as soon as possible. In the mountains, even if you find ice lotus plants, you can't make medicine.

The abandoned house has no doors and windows, and the night is surprisingly cold. The wind passing through the hall seems to penetrate into the bones. They can only stick their shoulders together, wrap their arms around each other's waist, and share each other's warmth.

At this moment, Shangguanqing shared the warmth with him again in the same way, and Zhao Shitu couldn't help turning his head to peek at the profile behind him.Shangguan Qing's expression was as calm as ever, as if it was another person who revealed his true feelings last night.Now Zhao Shitu finally understands that his calmness may be just out of habit, this person is born with a cold and firm face, and his indifference is completely unconscious, but this does not affect the sense of security he brings.

It turns out that warmth and intimacy can bring such profound comfort.The so-called food marrow knows the taste, since he has tasted the sweet love, how can he let it go easily.He once believed that as long as he could stay with this person for ten days, he would not regret it even if he died, but after just a few hours, he regretted it.

How can ten days be enough? He wants endless time to go to every corner of the world and taste the joy of hundreds of turns and thousands of times.

He didn't dare to think too much, suppressed the mixed thoughts in his heart, and stared blankly at the horizon.

The dawn breaks through the gaps in the clouds, spreading a golden wine color in the sky. Not far away, the weather-beaten old city wakes up in the light mist.

Mingyuezhu finally arrived, her pace was eager, she trotted all the way through the city gate, and only slowed down when she saw her companions by the side of the road.

She stopped opposite Zhao Shitu, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You two are really like glue, you don't even want to have an extra horse."

Zhao Shitu said helplessly: "In the middle of the night, tell me where to find the horse. This one was brought out from the escort agency, but I am reluctant." He looked much more relaxed, complained casually, raised his finger and pointed behind him, "I It's not easy to find this guy."

Ming Yuezhu chuckled and said, "Then why don't you come and see what I found."

Zhao Shitu took the things she handed over, and through the square paper bag, he smelled a bitter herbal smell, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said with joy, "Azhu, you really found these three medicines! "

Mingyuezhu said indifferently: "If you find it, you will find it. Whether you can make the best use of everything is still unknown."

Zhao Shitu said: "As long as there is an ice lotus plant, it can be verified."

Ming Yuezhu said: "You speak very lightly."

Zhao Shitu smiled back, and never mentioned the fact that he swallowed the medicine. He just put the small medicine bag in his bag, tied the bag to the saddle, and asked, "Where did you find it?"

Ming Yuezhu said: "Mr. Xiao gave it to me."

Zhao Shitu stopped what he was doing, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Xiao?"

Ming Yuezhu briefly narrated what happened last night, and finally turned to another person present and said: "Shangguan, Mr. Xiao also hopes from the bottom of his heart that you can recover safely, and I hope you don't blame him."

Shangguanqing nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhao Shitu packed his bags, returned to Mingyuezhu, and said solemnly: "After ten days, if we fail to return as scheduled, you can ask Brother Yan to bring someone to find me. Mark, this Purple Cloud Cauldron is originally a martial arts thing, I just borrowed it temporarily, and will keep it safe no matter what."

Ming Yuezhu raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you are so enlightened, why didn't you return it yourself."

Zhao Shitu said vaguely: "I still have some unfinished business, I'm afraid there will be delays, anyway, this time I really can only ask you, Ah Zhu, you must promise me."

Ming Yuezhu smiled, and thoughtfully said: "I understand, the Yuan Mansion will find a way to hide it for now, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Shitu gave a grateful look, and said solemnly: "Then we will leave."

Ming Yuezhu nodded and said, "I wish you good luck."

Zhao Shitu had already stepped on the horse, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said: "By the way, thanks to the clues you found for me before, I really don't know how to thank you."

Mingyuezhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly and said: "You don't need to say thank you, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

She watched the two of them drift away, and then slowly closed the corners of her mouth. The previous smiling expression was like a mask, which slowly fell off her face, and was replaced by a cruel sneer.

Looking at the figure getting smaller and smaller in the mist, she said to herself: "Oh, my good sister, thanks to you, you can laugh at such a fool."

Her disguise was perfect, no one recognized that she was not Mingyuezhu, but Mingyuechen, although there was a word difference between the two, there was a world of difference.

Ming Yuechen was not in a hurry, and was even in a happy mood. Ten days was not a very short time limit, it was enough for her to accomplish many things and clear many obstacles.

The two thought they had stepped into a vast world, but in fact they just stepped into another trap, thinking that they could find hope in a desperate situation, but in fact they were just moths to the flame, struggling to death.She didn't have to do much, just waiting was enough.

She waited alone by the empty post road for a while, and not long after, the person she was really waiting for arrived.

The man was dressed in black, even his face was covered by a pitch-black mask, and he held a pitch-black knife in his hand.

The man came across to her calmly and asked, "Those two people have already left?"

Ming Yuechen said: "Not only have they set off, but they will also leave marks along the way. There is no one better to follow than them. Don't you think so, Mr. Matouzhan."

The other party snorted and asked again, "How did you trick him?"

Ming Yuechen smiled slightly, and said softly: "A foolish person like Zhao Shitu, as long as he gently pushes him from behind, he will kill himself."
