It was raining heavily outside the cave.

The air smelled of raindrops wet with dust.

Not far away, there was the sound of weapons being handed over suddenly.

Li Shang heard the sound from outside, but did not get up, but lowered his eyes to watch the flames jumping in front of him, took a piece of dry wood from his side, and calmly put it into the fire.

The person he was waiting for had already arrived.

There was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms pouring into the cave along with the cold wind brought by the visitor. Li Shang had just stood up, and before he could turn around to take a look, he was pulled into his arms fiercely by that person.

The man hugged him a little too hard, he didn't turn his head, but let the man hold him tightly.

The atmosphere in the air seemed to be frozen, and the hustle and bustle outside the cave gradually moved away at this moment, and everything was left only in this space in the cave.

His long eyelashes trembled, and he raised his hand to cover the fox's forehead on his waist, lowered his eyes, but did not speak.

The fox hugged Li Shang into his arms from behind.

There were still raindrops on the rain-soaked robe.

He held him unlike any time he had held him before.

This time, he used a lot of strength, but after a long time, he let go.

"Fox, you know." Feeling the warm body temperature of the person behind him, feeling that the strength staying at the waist was added with tenderness again, after a long silence, Li Shang finally spoke, breaking the peace in this space .

"Yeah." The tension when I couldn't see Li Shang on the cliff just now, the worry when I saw the pool of blood on the edge of the cliff, and even knowing that his Li'er will be fine, my heart still couldn't help trembling slightly His emotions all returned to calm at the moment when he actually touched the person in his arms.

Those words that were supposed to be said also became a simple, monosyllabic answer at this time.

Yes, he knows, he obviously knows everything.

That's why he came out at this time, so if he could run into each other, fortunately, he met Ah Shu.

There seemed to be a slight sigh resounding in the cave, the fox leaned his head against Li Shang's face, his voice was low and sweet, but with an unspeakable tenderness: "Fortunately, I found you again..."

……

"Little General, is the Palace Master inside?" Ah Shu's voice suddenly sounded from outside the cave entrance, and the sound of weapons exchange outside the cave gradually subsided.

"En." The fox responded to Ah Shu, then let go of Li Shang, took off the cloak on his body, and covered him.

"If you want to come out next time, remember to tell me." The fox raised his hand to help Li Shang fasten the strap on the cloak, and then withdrew his hand.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the cloak strap on Li Shang's body, his slender fingers were gathered in the sleeves, his narrow eyes were in the shaking of the fire, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions.

"Little General, Mo Ying said..." Li Shang looked up at the fox, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ah Shu who rushed in from the cave.

"He and Mo An went after the leader in black..." Ah Shu came in only to realize that he regretted it. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the cave blankly, neither going in nor retreating. It was a bit embarrassing.

"Let him go, Mo An is here, he has his own measure." The fox glanced at Ashu, as if he didn't care about Ashu's sudden intrusion.He just raised his hand to hold Li Shang's hand, and led him to the cave entrance first.

"Huh?" Ah Shu listened to the fox's words, but he still didn't realize it. When he looked up to the entrance of the cave again, the fox had already led Li Shang away.

After a pause, Ah Shu didn't wonder why the little general seemed to know everything, and hurriedly chased out of the cave entrance, shouting while running: "Little general, wait for me..."

……

……

When Li Shang returned to the station with the fox, Ah Qiu had already returned by himself, as Li Shang had guessed earlier.

His hair was wet from the rain and stuck to the side of his face.It seems that he came back from the rain, and he just came back not long ago.

The cyan robe was moistened by the rain into a deep blue color, and it stuck to the body with thick moisture.At this moment, Ah Qiu was sitting there quietly, on the steps in front of Li Shang's room, without saying a word.

"Did you get the answer you wanted?" When Li Shang saw Ah Qiu, something seemed to settle down deep in his icy blue eyes. As if he already knew why Ah Qiu ran out, he didn't ask why Ah Qiu left, nor did he ask why Ah Qiu came back again.

"Hmm." Aqiu, who had lowered her head, raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Li Shang. Those eyes, which should have been bright and calm, were now covered with a finger-wide black line. brocade silk.

The blood stained along the edge of the brocade silk, along the rainwater, smeared on his fair face, and the bright red color was smeared on the pale skin.

"Palace Master, he died... because of me..."

"Oh my God, Ah Qiu!" Seeing Ah Qiu's appearance, Ah Shu quickly ran to his side, stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, there will be such a strange poison on my sword... If I knew, I wouldn't be so vigilant when he suddenly turned back to talk to me... At least, I wouldn't stab his sword without hesitation. Body..." Ah Qiu was hugged by Ah Shu, as if he had found someone to confide in, he began to speak incoherently, "I saw him die with my own eyes, I killed him..."

"I finally knew the answer to the question I've been wanting to ask, when he lost his breath..."

Ah Qiu said to himself.

This seems to be the longest sentence he has ever said after following Li Shang.

Ah Qiu was held in Ah Shu's arms, without the indifference and calmness of the past, just let Ah Shu hold him tightly in a daze, a little numb and distressing.

After saying that, he was silent again, he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he suddenly raised his hand and covered his eyes covered with black brocade.

"Palace Master." Lowering his head and burying his face in his hands, he called Li Shang softly, his voice was muffled and choked with sobs, "I seem to have remembered many things... I think , maybe, I should go with him."

"Aqiu." Li Shang lowered his eyes to look at Aqiu, turned his eyes to look at the fox beside him, and then slowly squatted down.

Stretching out his slender fingers and gently placing them on Ah Qiu's forehead, Li Shang's tone was gentle: "A Qiu... did you come back to say goodbye to me and Ah Shu?"

The fox looked down at Li Shang who was squatting in front of Ah Qiu, and was about to say something when suddenly, a slight sound from not far away caught his attention and made him look away.

"Young Master..." Seeing the fox looking towards him, Mo Xi didn't hide himself anymore, and quickly walked to the fox and knelt down.

"What's the matter?" The fox looked down at Mo Xi, and there was no bottom to his dark eyes.

"There was news from the palace that there was turmoil in the northern border, and that Nanying Kingdom was recruiting troops. The left minister and the right minister had a dispute over this matter, and the officials of various factions in the imperial court were uncertain about their positions. Therefore, the eldest son returned with His Majesty first. He asked me to tell you, and said, Young Master must know how to deal with it." Mo Xi knew the fox's temperament, and got up after paying the salute, and explained the reason directly without procrastinating.

"Really?" The fox raised his eyes to look at the two lights at the entrance of the post station, and then turned his eyes to look at Aqiu who was tied with black brocade silk on his face.Slightly raising the corners of his lips, he said to Mo Xi, "Ask Second Young Master and Shui Wuye to come to my room. I just happen to have something to ask."

"Yes!" Mo Xi replied, turned and left.

Li Shang raised his hand and touched Ah Qiu's sleeping hole, then got up and came to the fox's side, glanced sideways at the fox's face, then turned his eyes to look in the direction where Mo Xi was leaving: "You knew that Jiangmen had already betrayed you!" You also know that he will ambush Xuanyuan Qing here."

"Well." The fox looked up at Mo Xi's completely disappeared back, and explained, "Even if the sects below Tianjue Sect are destroyed by the master of Tianjue Sect, as long as there are reasonable reasons, it is still reasonable , the elder sect has no right to intervene, but if something happens to one of the six sects outside the Jianghu sect mechanism, the waves will not be small."

"After all, the Jianghu Order promulgated a year ago clearly stated that no sect below the Tianjue Sect shall be an enemy of the six seemingly unrelated sects outside the mechanism, but can cooperate and cooperate with each other." In the eyes of the fox looking into the distance, a bit of darkness quickly flashed across. In the dark pupils, there seemed to be something secretly rising. , is the only thing that can threaten the head of Tianjue Sect. Violating Jianghu Order will definitely cause many unnecessary disputes. Xuanyuan Qing is a decent person, and he is not good at changing temperament. Even if he is disguised, it is not difficult to recognize him. It is easy to be calculated by the so-called decent. Since Jiangmen knows that he will come to the branch point of Nancheng to retreat at this time of year, and the black leaf dense forest is the most hidden on this road, he will naturally choose that place to ambush... Besides... I am still Tianxuan Because of my identity, he wants to push this matter to me, so that the world will think that I have violated Jianghu Order, so he will definitely choose to ambush Xuanyuan Qing in my place..."

"Oh... no wonder, I can meet the little general." After hearing the fox's explanation, Ah Shu solved his previous doubts.

Turning around and looking at Ah Shu, Li Shang was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at the fox and asked, "Did you leave early?"

"En." The fox glanced at Li Shang, then lowered his long eyelashes.

"You know all this. If you wait a little longer, you will be able to catch him when Jiangmen leaves the dense forest." Li Shang frowned, looking at the fox's lowered eyes, with some doubts, "Obviously it should be foolproof. You can turn to Jiangmen instead..." But in the middle of speaking, looking at the fox's quietly lowered eyes, he suddenly stopped talking.

He seemed to suddenly know why the fox left the house early.

The fox's coat was still clinging to the rain, which showed that he was in a hurry.

Originally, tonight, he would be a calm hunter who strategized and gracefully waited for his prey to slowly enter the trap he set.

But because of him alone, he let go of all his original plans.

"The little general sent everyone to look for the Palace Master." Ah Shu sat on the steps, hugged Ah Qiu who had fallen asleep, looked at Li Shang, then at the fox, and interjected, resting his chin.

"I found you." The fox looked up at Li Shang who was also looking at him, and slightly bent the corners of his lips, "Ye Weiyang, there is still time, so Jiangmen can't escape."

Seeing the smile on the corner of the fox's lips, Li Shang was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at Ah Shu who was sitting on the steps holding Ah Qiu, and said to the fox: "Aren't you still busy? If you don't go back, the second brother is afraid." It’s time to wait.”

"Okay, then I'll go back first." The fox responded, looked at Li Shang's side face, raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand and squeezed the hand by his side, then turned and left.

"Palace Master, the little general has gone far away." Seeing that Li Shang lowered his eyes and looked at himself, as if he was thinking about something, seeing the fox left, Li Shang didn't turn his head to take a look, so he couldn't help it. Live to remind.

"Well, let's go in too." Li Shang glanced at Ashu, then let go of his left hand that was gently holding the edge of his sleeve, and walked past Ashu and Aqiu first, and walked towards the door.

It's not the first time that Li Shang appeared in front of the fox with a second personality, but in the past, after meeting a fox, he would always return to No.1 personality.I don't know if it's subconsciously unwilling to let the fox see his cruel and killing side, or because of something else.

But this time, something is different.

Not only did he not switch back to the dull No.1 frame, but for the first time, he used the second personality to talk to the fox.

What puzzled him even more was that their conversation was so natural and harmonious, as if it should be like this...

This is the first time when Li Shang was in the second personality, he realized so deeply that the past between him and the fox seemed to be remembered clearly by the fox alone, but he had no memory of those pasts.

This kind of feeling made him feel so deep for the first time, and suddenly he wanted to understand the past between him and the fox...

Ah Shu supported Ah Qiu to follow Li Shang, looked at his back, and suddenly realized that Li Shang hadn't shown an abnormality since he just got up.

But after all, there are some things, doubts are doubts, and it is impossible to ask.

Besides, when the palace lord was in the second personality, his thoughts were always elusive, and he had to take care of Ah Qiu.

Thinking of this, Ah Shu turned his head to look at Ah Qiu who was leaning on his shoulder, and sighed softly.

I don't know what happened to the child Ah Qiu recently...
