Mortal practice

Su Jue held a torch and followed behind Xiao Yue without changing his expression, causing Xiao Yue to look back at him frequently.

"What's wrong?" Su Jue asked.

"Just now I wanted to ask, Brother Su trusts me so much? Aren't you afraid that Xiao will harm you?" Xiao Yue asked with doubts in his heart.When I noticed that someone was following me, the other party followed me without hesitation, but now that I have walked for a long time and have not reached my destination, the other party did not even ask a question.

"If Mr. Xiao is in trouble, there were plenty of opportunities in Fengyue Tower earlier, why wait until now?" Su Jue's expression did not change.

Of course, he couldn't tell the other party the other most important reason, that is, he was not afraid of him at all, not to mention that those who were chasing after him were actually from his side for the time being, and the other party didn't even know who he was, so it was impossible Considering that he will appear in Fengyue Tower, where will he have the time to plan to harm himself?

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled lightly: "I thought my reputation in Jianghu was only for sentimental and good deeds."

"Brother Xiao, why do you want to belittle yourself?" Su Jue shook his head: "You are unrestrained in your actions, and you like to act chivalrously, so you are worthy of others' trust."

Everyone likes to hear good things, and he knew that someone like Xiao Yue would not be immune.

It was the first time for Xiao Yue to be praised so bluntly by someone, and the other party didn't look like a person who could say that kind of watery words, even if he was as thick-skinned as him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Hey, we will settle down in Yunya Town about three miles ahead. There are high-quality horses prepared by the people on my side. Fortunately, I prepared an extra horse just in case, and now it is just available. Brother Su drives." He half changed the subject and half explained.

Yunya Town?There is no such place in memory, presumably the original owner has never been there.Su determined to measure silently. In fact, he was always thinking about how to find out the causal connection between himself and this person through his contact with Xiao Yue. An ordinary person, apart from his appearance, he has yet to find anything in common between the other party and Zhong Rui.

Although they have only been in contact for less than half a day.

When we arrived at Yunya Town, the sky was already bright, and some people in the town went out early to set up stalls and shouted, and there were also pedestrians in twos and threes on the street.

After Xiao Yue took Su Jue around two streets familiarly, he stopped in front of a dilapidated house and knocked on the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open with a creak, and there stood a man with the appearance of a book boy with delicate features. When the other party saw Xiao Yue, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he said, "Young Master Xiao, you are finally here! You have been waiting for a long time, Mr. gone."

Su Xin secretly thought that the other party really had friends all over the world, even in this remote village, there were people waiting to meet him.

As the two walked all the way to the depths of the courtyard, the book boy respectfully saluted a person sitting at the stone table in the garden: "Sir, Mr. Xiao is here."

The gentleman in the mouth of the book boy was currently holding a scroll in his hand, flipping through it carefully on the stone table, forming a quiet and beautiful picture scroll with the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms behind him, but there was one thing that Su Jue felt was unexpected, but it was reasonable—— This person is a woman.

Xiao Yue smiled and cupped his fists: "Xiao is bothering you."

The other party put down the scroll, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Young Master Xiao is almost an hour later than the agreed time, but what happened?"

"No problem, just encountered some troubles, I have already resolved them." Xiao Yue roughly explained.

"This is..." The female gentleman looked at Su Jue who was standing beside Xiao Yue, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"This is the friend I met in Fengyue Tower yesterday. It is thanks to him that the troublesome matter can be settled."

"Oh...Fengyue Tower..." The female gentleman looked at Su Jue with a deeper look in his eyes: "So he is Mr. Xiao's colleague?"

Seeing the playful look in the other party's eyes, Su Jue didn't intend to give any explanation—even if he wanted to, he couldn't explain it, right?He and Xiao Yue originally met in Fengyuelou.

So Su Jue didn't say a word, just as acquiesced.

"Ahem, okay, Lian Qing," Xiao Yue rescued Su Jue from the other party's sight, and said, "Where's the agreed horse?"

The female gentleman named Lian Qing didn't care about the other party's changing the subject, and said indifferently: "According to Mr. Xiao's instructions, it was prepared two days ago, and it has been placed in the stable in the backyard at this time."

As he spoke, he seemed to intend to lead the way himself, got up and walked out of the garden.

Xiao Yue and Su Jue looked at each other.

"Hey, brother Su, please don't be offended, she just speaks so straightforwardly." Xiao Yue said in his heart that this is quite similar to you.

Su Jue shook his head to show that he didn't mind.

The two of them followed Lian Qing to the stables. This elegant and quiet woman who was sitting just now was very skillful when she pulled out the two bay red horses.

"These are the horses placed by the superiors, and they are all high-quality horses."

"Thank you Miss Lianqing for giving me the horse," Xiao Yue bowed politely, but still couldn't hide the smile and laxity on his expression.

"Young Master Xiao, take care all the way." Lian Qing said with a smile.

"Won't you stay us down for lunch?"

Su determined to sneer—I have never seen someone who made such an open and aboveboard request.

Lianqing looked as if she was used to it, and shook her head with a slight smile: "If Lianqing remembers correctly, Young Master Xiao is being hunted down now, does Young Master Xiao really want to continue to stay here so leisurely?"

Xiao Yue, whose situation had been explained with a single word, didn't show any embarrassment on his face, but continued to tease and said: "It's a great blessing to be able to eat at the same table with a beauty. In fact, Xiao is willing to stay, but since Miss Lianqing despises Xiao, Xiao also had no choice but to leave sadly with his friends."

While speaking, he stepped on the horse at a fast speed, without a trace of sadness on his face.

Lian Qing glared at him, ignored him, but handed the reins of the other horse to Su Jue, and said with a gentle smile, "Young Master Su, let's go."

In Su's determination, he only said that Lianqing's attitude towards Xiao Yue was really different. That person's casualness and unscrupulous speech also accounted for part of the reasons, and the bigger reason was that the two must be very familiar with each other.

Xiao Langzi really lived up to his reputation.

He thanked him, took the reins and jumped on the horse.

Xiao Yue cupped his hands to Lian Qing and said, "Miss Lian Qing, I'm leaving."

Lian Qing made a short salute as a farewell, showing a demure demeanor, even Su Jue took a second look, knowing that this woman might not be an ordinary teacher, and according to the conversation between the two, she probably was The forces placed by King Anyuan.

It didn't take long for the two of them to leave this town, and bought a few steamed buns on the way to satisfy their hunger.

This finally caused Xiao Yue, who had always been calm, to look at Su Jue's eyes with a little embarrassment - if what the other party said was true, it was originally an ordinary way to visit relatives, but because of his burden, he had to take a long way. Lunch has become steamed buns, and I can't even eat good food.

Of course, this was his thinking when he didn't know Su Jue's true identity. If he knew, he might think otherwise.In fact, just like Su Jue, Xiao Yue has been thinking about Su Jue's identity.

He wanted to know the connection between the other party and the dream he had recently had every day.

Because the first moment he saw Su Jue, a certain vague figure in the dream flashed past in his mind, so fast that he almost couldn't catch it, but he still realized something was wrong after all.

After such a period of contact, he felt more and more that this person was a bit confusing to him, and the original familiarity was temporarily thrown aside by him, and he became a little curious about this person.

About half a day later, the sun became more and more poisonous, Xiao Yue proposed to stop and rest when the two passed through a mountain forest.He thought that along the way Su Jue would ask him how long it would take to arrive, but the other party seemed indifferent to the matter—didn't it mean that my sister was in trouble?Another thought from when the other party met to now, when did the other party show concern for something?It seemed that he had been expressionless all the time, so he was relieved.

Seeing that Su Jue took out the steamed bun with lingering warmth and ate it without changing his face, Xiao Yue secretly frowned, thought for a while and then got up and said: "Brother Su, wait a minute, Xiao will give you a full feast later."

Su Jue glanced at him, and saw what the other party was thinking from the other's expression. Just as he was about to say something, the other party turned around and left quickly.In fact, he really didn't have much demand for these appetites, but now that everyone is gone, he won't say more.

Su Jue sat on the tree trunk for a while, and after a while, he saw the other party come back with a bundle of firewood in one hand and put it on the ground, and a hare in the other hand.

Seeing the sparks from the two rocks flowing like clouds and flowing water on the other side, lighting the firewood, and taking out the cleaned branches to roast the hare whose fur has been plucked out. During the process, he still used the knife in his pocket to make a few cuts on the hare's body. Su made up his mind. With emotion, this person probably has done this many times in the wild, and the movements are surprisingly proficient.

Then he widened his eyes slightly, and saw Xiao Yue took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, and some white powder was sprinkled on the rabbit meat.

"...Salt?" He asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I won't poison you." Xiao Yue seemed to know that the other party was surprised, raised his head and grinned at him, "I still have some things that I always carry with me when I'm walking outside."

Does it include salt... Su Jue remained silent.

The two sat on the ground, and Su Jue just sat there quietly watching Xiao Yue enthusiastically fiddle with the food in his hands that would not reach his mouth, and suddenly remembered that he was sitting side by side with a person with the same appearance before, and the other person moved very quickly. It was natural to hand him the meat skewers that passed the test...

"Xiao Yue."

"What's the matter?" Hearing the other party call his name directly, Xiao Yue was not unhappy at all, instead he felt faintly happy for some reason.

"Do you know a man named Zhong Rui?"

"Zhong Rui?" Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, without the slightest impression of the name: "I remember the name of the more famous people in Jianghu, but I really have never heard of this Zhong Rui. Is it Brother Su's friend?"

Seeing that the other party's expression did not seem to be fake, Su Jue was not too surprised, and only perfunctory said: "It's considered."

Xiao Yue saw the other party's disappointment and perfunctory, a little depression flashed in his heart, and it was a little funny in a flash, everyone has a secret, and the other party doesn't need to tell him his true thoughts, why are you so hypocritical?Didn't they know each other for less than a day?

He suppressed the sudden emotion in his heart, and said with a smile: "But brother Su... the name Su Jue, when I heard the name, I felt inexplicably kind, as if I heard it somewhere but can't remember it."
