Baiyun Hidden Sword [Lu Xiaofeng + Sword III]

It's almost early summer, and the climate in the South China Sea is humid, and it can rain several times a day.The guard commander who learned that Ye Gucheng was going out was quite surprised, but the preparations were still in place.

He seldom went to the South China Sea in recent years, before he suddenly went to the Central Plains, it was worth the attention of Baiyun City, but now he has only come back for a few days and is going to sea again, his subordinates are almost guessing what his plan is.

But Ye Linghan didn't think about it that much at all, and immediately lay down and fell asleep after boarding the boat with the epee on his back.

What Ye Gucheng saw after explaining the matter and entering the cabin was that she was crouching there holding an epee, her hair was a little loose due to her poor sleeping position, and it stuck to her face indiscriminately, which looked very funny.

The nearest island to Feixian Island is a deserted island, and he plans to skip it directly, otherwise it will still be a considerable amount of work to find the surrounding large and small islands.

Because this matter was somewhat delicate for the two of them, he only brought a reliable boatman with him, and the boat was quite inconspicuous.

At noon, the sea was still very calm, and the outline of the deserted island ahead could already be seen with the naked eye. The boatman who followed Ye Gucheng's order did not stop at all, and rowed straight ahead.

Ye Linghan was woken up by starvation. She has been raised by Seventeen's good craftsmanship these days. Apart from three meals a day, there are also all kinds of sweet soup and snacks available at any time. It is really better than when she was in Tibetan Sword Villa. Also more like a big lady.

It is said that Ye Gucheng doesn't like these things, so Shi Qi finally found someone who appreciates his craftsmanship, and cooks for her in different ways every day, and seeing her like it is happier than eating it himself.

So Ye Linghan, who had slept on the sea for more than an hour, felt very hungry just after noon.

The snacks given by Shi Qi are not too much. According to her usual way of eating, they will be wiped out in a while. With the idea of ​​having a few more days to eat good food, after biting two pieces, she grinned. Put it away.

After doing this, she realized that Ye Gucheng was staring at her, and subconsciously put the snack in her arms, "...cough...you don't like it anyway, so don't grab it from me!"

"..." Who wants to steal it?

The food on the boat can’t be said to be bad, but the dry ones are always difficult to swallow. Ye Linghan couldn’t sit still after being bored for a while. He didn’t care whether Ye Gucheng was willing or not, so he dragged people to the bow of the boat.

"Junior Brother, did you often go to sea?"

The man was sitting upright and not looking sideways, all he could think about was the news that came back this morning about the two people who appeared in front of and behind the Dragon Gate out of thin air. After a while, he realized how long the person next to him had been calling him, "Huh?"

"I say—did you go to sea often?"

"No."

"Then you're still willing to waste time with me?" Ye Linghan spread her hands, "We don't have any clues, you just followed them out, God knows when we will find them."

In fact, Ye Gucheng had been thinking about it for a long time, but it was too troublesome to explain, but fortunately he said, "Go back if you can't find it."

"... also." She sat down beside him, her tone seemed a little bit reluctant, "if I can't find anything this time, I'm going to leave, ahhh... I still hope to find it, I don't want to leave ah."

Ye Gucheng was surprised by such a sincere emotion: "...?"

"When I go back to the desert, how can I eat such delicious food made by Shi Qi... Oh, forget it, people like you don't understand my pain."

"...Didn't you say that if you find it, you can go home?"

Probably because the word "go home" touched something in her heart, the expression on her face became more gentle, "Well, I want to go home."

"Hidden Sword Villa?"

Ye Linghan couldn't help laughing when he heard these four words, "Yes, Hidden Sword Villa."

Although the atmosphere was not bad, the two of them had nothing to say.

As a result, when the sea breeze was blowing for half a day, when the sun was about to set, the boatman at the stern suddenly stopped, ran to the bow and gestured to Ye Gucheng.

Ye Linghan couldn't understand the gesture, but judging from the boatman's expression, there should be nothing good, so after Ye Gucheng nodded, he still couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, junior brother?"

"It might rain heavily, so find a deserted island to stay overnight."

She heard the words and raised her eyes to look at the sky. It was indeed a lot different from before, and she didn't know when it happened.

The boatman who returned to the stern moved much faster this time, and Ye Gucheng took out a map from his arms and spread it out in front of her, pointing to a small dot on the lower right part of the picture, "It's here Stop, it's a desert island."

"A deserted island is a deserted island. How can I find the strength to keep looking for it without stopping the boat overnight." She raised her hand and stroked her bangs while lowering her head to carefully identify the signs on the map. understand?"

Ye Gucheng was taken aback, and it took him a while to explain: "It's been a long time, and the handwriting is blurred, but I probably still remember a little bit."

Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't think much about it, especially when she saw a small island not far ahead after a while, her expression immediately became excited, "I should be able to arrive before it rains!"

Probably infected by her excitement, Ye Gucheng's tone became much lighter, "Yeah."

According to Longmen, the girl who appeared out of thin air more than ten years ago was also very skilled in martial arts. She even went alone to kill Atamu, the leader of the horse bandits who had been rampant in the desert for a long time, and then left with a child.

The identity of the child was not mentioned much, but the news alone was enough for Ye Gucheng to be quite concerned.

Not telling Ye Linghan would be troublesome on the one hand, and on the other hand, I was afraid that it would make her happy in vain.

The girl's desire to go home is so strong that he can feel it clearly. If this trip is empty with the mentality of doing it, it will probably be quite sad.

"Hey, I used to go to the depths of the desert to find clues for this matter, and now I'm exploring the South China Sea. I think it's really..." After getting off the boat, she was catching fish in the shallow water, and she didn't forget to continue chatting with Ye Gucheng. .

A man who looked like a fairy would naturally not do such a job of catching fish, but the boatman was so clumsy that she was anxious to see it, so she just rolled up her sleeves and went to fish by herself.

It's a pity that she has no ability to catch fish, but she waited for a long time without seeing a fish, and she didn't even have any hope.

"Maybe there are some hares on the desert island, I'll look for them!"

"It's going to rain." Ye Gucheng was still concise.

The boatman immediately pointed to the boat that had been dragged ashore, meaning to let them get on.

Ye Linghan is still in the regret of not being able to have some game to eat, and this boat is also reluctant to board.

But people who have lived at sea all year round are more experienced than her. After a while, the big raindrops fell with a crackle, and the sound of hitting the cabin was impossible to ignore.

Ye Gucheng took out the torch in his arms and lit an oil lamp, and the cabin immediately lit up, and the two of them ate some dry food with the water they brought out, which was considered dinner.

The boatman outside refused to come in, Ye Linghan just waved his hands no matter what, his expression was respectful without a hint of impatience.

So she nudged Ye Gucheng who was checking the map with her elbow, "It's raining so hard, let the boatman come in?"

"Three people can't squeeze in."

It was only then that she noticed that the cabin was indeed pitifully small. It could be said that it did not have the style of the Lord Baiyun. The two of them already looked a bit cramped, let alone the three of them.

"...Then let him get wet like this?"

Ye Gucheng pondered for a while before opening his mouth, "Don't worry."

Although she also sympathized with the boatman who couldn't take shelter from the rain, it was still impossible for her to go out and replace someone else. After waiting for a while, she felt sleepy and didn't bother to pay attention to what the boatman was doing, so she lay back.

"Junior brother, you are also the lord of the city after all, why is it so shabby to go out to sea?"

Ye Gucheng put away the map, and said in a flat tone, "This matter has nothing to do with Baiyun City."

There was not much oil in the oil lamp, and he blew it out after a while and put it back where it was. Her voice came from the darkness, a little muffled, "...Although you want to find it, thank you for your willingness to help. me."

"……Need not."

It was rare for her to be so polite, which made Ye Gucheng stunned for a moment.

In fact, what Ye Gucheng didn't know was that her shameless behavior before was actually just because she thought he was a Tibetan sword disciple, so he was considered one of her own.

The cabin was too small, there was almost no room for two people to lie down, and he could even hear the breathing of the person next to him clearly when he just lay down.

The sound of the rain hitting the clothes was too loud, which made him quite unaccustomed to the quiet environment all year round, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Ye Linghan's breathing gradually became steady, as if the noisy rain hadn't affected her at all, and she fell asleep after a while.

There was still her epee between the two of them, but it couldn't stop her from sleeping poorly. In less than half a moment, the sword had been pushed more than ten inches.

He had no choice but to put the heavy sword on the other side first, but unexpectedly, the person lying next to him just now grabbed it like an octopus.

Ye Gucheng didn't know that since she came to this time and space, she had the habit of sleeping with something in her arms. When she was in Longmen, she slept with her epee all night because of the chaos. Xio plotted against this matter, and could never do without her two swords when she fell asleep.

Although she was sleeping very peacefully at the moment, the sword she was holding in her hand suddenly disappeared, so she naturally wanted to move closer.

The girl's body was much softer than the ship's plank, and she didn't let go even if she hugged her tightly, her movements were as domineering as her swordsmanship.

The breathing was on the side of his neck, it was so steady but it made him cry in his heart.

Normally, he would be unmoved when she pulled one of his sleeves and begged him for help with pitiful eyes, but in this situation, if he really didn't respond at all, he wouldn't be a man at all.

The desert island under heavy rain is really not warm, especially at night when the sea suddenly cools down, Ye Linghan feels that he is holding on to something warm in his sleep, and leans against it without thinking about it, how can he let go.

Ye Gucheng hesitated for a long time and decided to wake her up, but before he could say it, the murmuring voice of the person holding him came from next to his ear: "...cold."

He finally did not speak.
