[Honor of Kings] Bai Liang's Short Story Collection

In the following years, Zhuge Liang seemed to have disappeared from this world out of thin air, leaving only some fragmentary traces of his existence.

Li Bai sorted out all the clues, and pieced together a crooked route on the map. Together with the fragments of the heavenly book that also disappeared, it pointed to the twelve miracles scattered all over the mainland.

He followed the path that the little sorcerer had walked, but found nothing, and finally returned to Chang'an—the core of the ark is here, and Zhuge Liang's sudden appearance in Chang'an was naturally for this secret.

Immediately afterwards, he disappeared...

If you chose to leave because you obtained the secret from the Heavenly Book, why did you leave without saying goodbye?If you want to hide from yourself...

Li Bai thought over and over again about that night, the beautiful woman was in his arms, full of affection, and only his figure was left in the focused eyes. There was no reluctance—so, why hide?

He couldn't figure it out, so he sat on the city wall and drank some wine while listening to the little secret agent chattering about the stories he had heard in the market.

"...What shadow?"

Li Bai was so thoughtful, he drank one glass after another, without paying attention to what Li Yuanfang said, and remembered that there was still a letter in his bosom, which was entrusted by someone to send to Jixia College for his master.

The swordsman touched his chest. He kept the envelope very well. It was not damaged or damp when he returned from the Tower of the Sun. The little spy wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but he refused, as if it was some kind of treasure.

"Oh, it's the Dragon Shadow Spear. It's one of the best mercenaries in the entire King's Continent, but everyone knows the name 'Dragon', but few people know that there is a gunner codenamed Shadow behind him, so that's why It's the real Dragon Shadow Spear." Li Yuanfang rested his chin in one hand and swayed the wine gourd with the other, "Ever since he fought against the Demon God, he was wounded by both sides, and his whereabouts are unknown. Some people say that he has..."

"Dead?" Li Bai answered smoothly.

Li Yuanfang shook his head first, then lowered his voice mysteriously, and said, "Originally, after the resurrection of the demon god, everyone thought he must have been killed by the demon god seeking revenge, but later there were rumors that he was not actually dead, but I am no longer a mercenary, but roaming around and fighting for justice."

It sounded like a like-minded person, Li Bai finally got a little interested, drank his glass of wine, bent his index finger and tapped the wall, motioning him to continue talking.

"and after?"

"The last time people saw shadows was in Rongcheng." The little secret agent shook his ears and said clearly.

Rongcheng?Li Bai was taken aback, thought for a while, and didn't have the slightest impression of the name, probably never on his itinerary.

"That place is not ordinary. Many mercenaries and treasure hunters went to Rongcheng, and then disappeared—all of them are rare and strong in the world! Of course, this shadow is also included." Li Yuanfang rested his chin in both hands, as if thinking think.

This is a story brought by the Rongcheng caravan. For the people of Chang'an, it is naturally very new. It is just a matter of trust, and it is a matter of opinion.

He shared it with Li Bai as an interesting story, but he just wanted to gossip, but he didn't expect this to lead to Li Bai's farewell.Early the next morning, just as the little spy was yawning and getting ready to go to work, he ran into Li Bai who was in a hurry to leave the city, and explained that he was going to deliver a letter to Jixia.

He didn't have any luggage, and he could go wherever he went, so he packed lightly and didn't need any preparations. He left as soon as he said, and he didn't have time to say hello to his friends in Chang'an.

But Li Yuanfang watched Li Bai leave the city, clearly watching him go through the south gate.

To go to Jixia in the extreme north, why go south?Then you have to go around in a big circle from Heluo to Yunmengze.

The little secret agent scratched his head, puzzled.

...I didn't expect that this line of work would actually bring unexpected gains.

The troubles and depressions of these years were all left behind by Li Bai the moment he saw Zhuge Liang.

are no longer important.

The important thing is that at this moment, the faint candlelight outside the tent illuminates the face engraved deep in his memory - the little mage who once played with him in the applause, now lies unconsciously under him , sleeping in peaceful dreams, so vulnerable and defenseless.

Perhaps, another form of trap.

A few years ago, Li Bai had already seen it thoroughly.Whether it's the bonfire dinner in Yucheng in the desert, or the drinking and talking in Chang'an, there is absolutely no lack of tricks of playing hard to get.

He saved Zhuge Liang in the sandstorm, and when he first saw him, he felt that the little mage was cute and innocent, and he liked it very much.

Nowadays, whether "pure love" is really "pure love", it is difficult for Li Bai to make a conclusion, but cunning is certain.

Every time he gets along with himself is very purposeful - but every step hits Li Bai's heart, so they coincide with each other, and they are greedy for a while.

Even if it's a sweet trap, so what, the word "sweet" is always placed in front of it, dense and dense, never fake, and this trap was set especially for him.

Li Bai didn't care what the purpose behind these "tricks" was, the little lover he was thinking of was right in front of him, so why bother to endure it.

He lowered his head to kiss the tip of his eyelashes, brushed his bangs with his fingertips, then reached the delicate skin on his cheeks, and warm lips—"I finally caught you."

The swordsman sharpened his sword for several years, and then fell headlong into the gentle village.

(abridgement)

It's okay to be rough, he thought.

Zhuge Liang was attacked by surprise, and he was at a complete disadvantage from the very beginning. Even if he regained consciousness at this time, he would be powerless to resist, but...

Li Bai was struggling, so he had to suspend his offensive, and his mind, which was dazzled by surprise, became a little clearer.

He originally thought that after so many years, this cunning little mage has already experienced many battles, like a ripe fruit, which can flow out a rich honey juice when peeled gently, to withstand his greedy demands.

But this is not the case.

After all, he was still reluctant, thinking that since it was a long time reunion, he should be gentle.

(abridgement)

however……

"Hiss." Li Bai suddenly felt a tingling pain in his scalp - the little mage's cat claws grabbed his hair without warning, and his head hung down, sticking to his ear and asking:

"When you came in just now, why—"

He was panting badly, and asked a question intermittently, but Li Bai still understood the meaning of the whole sentence from the clip, and answered truthfully: Your magic circle is designed to prevent thieves from stealing the heavenly book, and my goal is not the heavenly book...

But would Jixia's elite mages have such a serious omission?

Is there no other way...

Li Bai thought of this question belatedly, and tilted his head hesitantly. He felt as if he had forgotten something.At the same time, Zhuge Liang also squeezed his collar tightly, his lower lip turned white from being bitten.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and the black shadow was tilted by the faint candlelight, and staggered into the room.

"Sir! I thought I heard someone—"

……

The black shadow stopped in an instant, and with the light coming in from behind the curtain, he could see the situation in the house clearly.

The object of the call cast an angry glance towards the door with teary eyes, and he hesitated to speak, everything was kept silent.

Zhao Yun: "... Excuse me."

Li Bai: "..."

He looked at Mr. Shadow at the door expressionlessly.

Mr. Shadow let go of his hand, the curtain fell quietly, and the darkness shrouded it again. The sound of messy footsteps quickly disappeared in the darkness, almost fleeing.

Li Bai also froze for a long time, until the soft touch touched his chest, Zhuge Liang lowered his head, pressed his cheek against it, and asked him in a soft voice:

"Satisfied?"
