In the early morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Konglin, Feng Yuyang and Trolling Traces walked to the periphery of the plum blossom forest, hiding on the side and waiting for the Trolling that was exchanged with them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere was silence and peace all around. Trolling Marks crossed the defensive boundary of Orange Flame Villa alone, and hurried along the path until his figure was hidden in the mountain forest. According to Shen Xiao's instructions, the trace did not encounter the slightest obstacle along the way, and went straight to the outside of the corner tower of Ronghai Pavilion. When Trolley stopped and looked around, a figure jumped down from the corner tower with the sound of talking:

"It's a shame that you can decipher the meaning of the drums. ”

"Master. Trolling stepped forward in surprise, and then saw Trolle jump down with Shen Xiao.

After the two brothers briefly greeted each other, Trolling Marks hurriedly said:

"It's not me who cracked the master's message, it's the little master. Only she has the ability. ”

When Shen Xiao heard this, her heart was shocked, and she said:

"She's here......"

"Yes. Trolling nodded and turned his gaze to Troll, "The eldest and second masters are outside the plum blossom forest, for the sake of prudence, it is better to break through as soon as possible." What happened during this period, I will slowly explain it to my master. ”

Trolley looked at Shen Xiao, and when he agreed, he left in time. However, Shen Xiao seems to be caught in a battle between heaven and man, and wants to see Chan'er, but she is worried that the actions will be too obvious and cause unnecessary confusion.

"This is not the right time to meet, for the sake of the little master, for the plan of several masters, the master still endures for a while. Trolling is well versed in the psychology of prudence, and has to be persuaded.

Shen Xiao let out a long breath in her heart, and then waved her hand at Troll. Troller then said goodbye to the two of them, and walked in the opposite direction along the road where Trolle came, passing through the siege of Orange Flame Villa without danger, and joining the two of them. Shen Xiao pressed the questions in her heart, and cautiously sneaked back to the north gate of the Star Altar with the traces, ensuring that it was convenient to speak, and then asked about the details.

After listening to the narration of the traces, Shen Xiao groaned for a while, and then said:

"If the Venerable Lord really makes a move against Mo Ge, I will strive to defend the Star Altar alone, wait for the opportunity to open the back door, let the Heng Army attack from the east, and then join the eldest brother and them to outflank the rear of the Star Altar. Once this land is included in the Heng Kingdom, the emperor will definitely be able to get the reward of the emperor, so that he can exchange for the freedom of the county lord. ”

"That's right, the most important thing in the plan is whether the lord can be trusted by the lord and sit alone in the star altar. What's more, the little master hopes that the master will put his own safety first. ”

"She is my spiritual support, and I will be careful to fight in the future. Shen Xiao's eyes revealed a little warmth, and then a flash of shame flashed, and she murmured, "As for the trust of the lord, I can only say to the eldest lady that I have offended......

"Does the eldest lady have anything to do with this, and where does this start?"

"A lot has happened in the month you've been away......"

Shen Xiao told the cause and effect of the trace here, but the trace did not mention it when she met Chan'er. What Yu Se talked about, and what Kong Lin and the others paid attention to, was all around You Huan's strength and the pro-sparse relationship between the four gates of the Star Altar.

"Among the star altars, the most loyal to the Venerable Lord You Huan is none other than Fu Huan. Although Qirui also adheres to the instructions of the Lord to deal with various affairs, her thoughts are deep and unpredictable. You Huan's biological daughter, You Wanqing, has a peaceful personality and advocates no quarrel with the world, in my memory, she almost never left the Star Altar, and all the tasks of going out were completed by the other three masters. There are few women in the Star Altar, and Qi Rui and You Wanqing are sisters, and the relationship between the two of them is relatively close. And Qi Rui and Fu Huan have had conflicts because of their respective disciples, although they are harmonious on the surface, but in fact their relationship is very indifferent. Qi Rui has a little respect for the master, after all, the master's skills and abilities are impeccable, and You Huan is also quite important to the master, but Qi Rui and the master have no deep friendship, and the master does not want to have any arrears with others......"

Shen Xiao, who was so unwilling to be in arrears with others, actually came to visit Qirui in person on the morning of the second day.

"What kind of wind is blowing Brother Xiao here?" Qi Rui said with a smile in her eyebrows, "Miaotong, hurry up and make a good pot of tea." ”

"Are you checking the accounts, don't bother you?" said Shen Xiao as she glanced at the ledger on the table.

"A while ago, I was busy dealing with Orange Flame Villa, and I had a half-month backlog of accounts, which made me dizzy. You're here, and I'm just looking for a reason to take a break. Qi Rui got up and took two steps to greet Shen Xiao and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"It's been a rare stop in the past two days. Shen Xiao nodded and sat down on the chair on one side, and Qi Rui immediately sat down opposite him.

"Their injuries are not lighter than ours, and their energy is not as long as that of young people. Qi Rui chuckled, remembering Shen Xiao's injury, and said, "Brother Xiao's body is fine?"

"Well, it's okay. ”

"That's fine. ”

Qi Rui's voice fell, Miao Tong just came back from making tea, and after pouring tea for Shen Xiao and Qi Rui respectively, she quietly retreated.

His mind was as sharp as Qirui, and he still couldn't figure out Shen Xiao's intention for a while, so he just kept a polite smile, was silent, and waited for Shen Xiao to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Xiao did not detour, and said bluntly:

"I'm here to ask for something. ”

"If you open your mouth, my little sister will definitely help you. Qi Rui smiled understandingly.

"We have known each other for so long, and I often think of the scene when I saw you for the first time, and my footsteps were like a shock, there is such a woman in the world. Shen Xiao's real psychology at that time was actually that she couldn't help but sigh, "How can there be someone in this world who is more talented than Chan'er."

Qi Rui listened to Shen Xiao's praise, and her heart was very useful, and her smile became brighter and brighter.

"Most of the people in the rivers and lakes are beyond the reach of your light achievements, and you envy others. I'm curious to know what the secret to this improvement is. Shen Xiao pointed out her intention and said.

"Is this what Brother Xiao asked?" Qi Rui said with a slight surprise. However, she soon understood that Shen Xiao wanted to significantly improve her light function in the short term to avoid being injured again in the war.

"If you have a kind word, I really appreciate it. ”

"Your light skills are actually pretty good, but you haven't made much progress in years, haven't you?"

"Yes. ”

"I don't know much about light work, maybe I know exactly what the first key is, so I have today's pride. Qi Rui paused for a moment, and then continued, "That is to really understand your body, let the momentum of your body try to keep up with your thoughts, and when you want to be in it, your body can quickly realize your ideas." ”

"Know your body. Shen Xiao repeated thoughtfully.

"It may seem easy to say, but it's not easy to do. You need to know how your body's load capacity is, what the speed limit is, whether there is extra potential, and so on. ”

"So with your ability, can you stop suddenly when you are fast, and suddenly start when you stop in place, without making a movement for people to notice?"

"Putting aside superfluous movements, you can do whatever you want without alarming the people around you. Qi Rui looked at Shen Xiao with a smile on her face with an expression of "what's so difficult about this". The last time I accidentally heard Shen Xiao and You Wanqing chatting under the moon, it didn't seem to be a good thing, but the secret of "Fu Huan likes You Wanqing" that I overheard the conversation between Fu Huan and his subordinate Xie Zong before, but it was because of my own light skills.

Now the relationship between Fu Huan, You Wanqing, and Shen Xiao seems to make Qi Rui both relish and unhappy at the same time. As this thought became clear, the smile in Qi Rui's eyes gradually cooled.

Although Shen Xiao didn't understand what Qi Rui was thinking, he could feel the change in her attitude, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he spoke again:

"Thank you for your advice today, I have benefited a lot from your words. I owe you a favor. Whenever you need me, I will help you. ”

"What kind of favor is this...... But I will remember that I must ask Brother Xiao for help if there is something. Halfway through Qi Rui's words, her tone changed, "Well, I suddenly remembered that I had a question for you, and I was afraid that I would be offended." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Why are you willing to stay in the Star Altar?" Qi Rui stared into Shen Xiao's eyes, as if trying to see through his heart, and said, "You are different from us, you are not a relative or apprentice of Master, and you have never received the favor of the You family like Fu Huan. You should have something to do here, shouldn't you?"

"The Lord has the grace of knowing me, and if I, an 'outsider', can become the Lord of the North Gate, isn't it considered to be the favor of the Lord. Shen Xiao avoided the important and replied with a smile.

"I'm not Wanqing, I'm not Fu Huan, I don't want to hear you say such high-sounding words as loyalty. I just want you to tell the truth. If you are sincere enough, I can tell you one more layer of the secret of improving light skills. ”

Shen Xiao also tried to see through her mind from Qi Rui's eyes, she seemed to have underestimated her before, she was not just You Fantasy's apprentice. However, the "temptation" proposed by Qirui really made Shen Xiao's heart waver. After a moment of silence, Shen Xiao re-spoken:

"I do have a plan. Staying here, you can collect all the news of the five countries, and you won't miss any major events in the court and small matters for civilians. So that I have a chance to find someone. ”

"One...... Someone very important to you?" Qi Rui obviously didn't think that Shen Xiao would give this answer, and for a while, her heart was inevitably touched.

"Very important. I lost her in the middle, and I don't know if I will ever find her back. Shen Xiao thought about Chan'er wholeheartedly, and this reason can be called sincere.

"I'm looking for someone too. Qi Rui suddenly said, with an unusual loneliness in his expression, "But he doesn't understand my heart, he may be hating me, and he doesn't want to see me for the rest of his life." ”

"I hope we can all find the person we want to find and never be separated again. Shen Xiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and said to Qi Rui and herself.

Qi Rui's eyes flashed, and Shen Xiao's "heart-to-heart" made her heart loosen, and she immediately said:

"There are quite a few people who have a good foundation in light work, and there are very few people who can enter the first-class realm, because most of them only stop at the bottleneck stage and cannot be surpassed. Many people think that they are very good at light work, and every time they use it, they do it subconsciously, and they seem to be chic and free, so they are proud of it, but they don't know that it is this kind of 'unconscious' action that hinders them from improving themselves. ”

"What do you say?" Shen Xiao listened intently.

"Relying on the subconscious, you will always stay where you are, there will be no new experience, and there will be no room for improvement. I will allow myself to consciously remember how I feel every time and every moment, even if there is only a slight difference in state, and the physical sensations will not deceive me. When you want to switch between different states of light work, the body should also switch to the corresponding momentum at the first time, once your reaction is fast enough to make the two paces agree, there will be no abrupt movement to betray your whereabouts. At the same time, for your opponents, every move you make becomes difficult to catch and predict, and mastering the initiative adds to the chips that suppress your opponents. ”

With Shen Xiao's perception of himself, it is completely impossible for him to catch up with Qi Rui in terms of light work, and he sincerely admires Qi Rui's experience, so he bowed to Qi Rui from the bottom of his heart, and expressed his gratitude before leaving.

After Shen Xiao walked away, Miao Tong returned to Qi Rui's side and asked aloud:

"Master of the Gate, why did you reveal so much of your personal experience to the Lord of the North Gate, I feel sorry for you. ”

"It's one thing to understand, fool, it's another to be able to do it. To tell the truth, Shan Xiao has strategy, courage, and skill, and has long been among the first-class masters, but people are good at it and not long, knowing that his potential in this area is insufficient, why should I sell him a favor?"

"But doesn't the master of the door dislike people who fall in love with the eldest lady (and ignore you)?" Miao Tong filled in the complete sentence in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

"Originally, yes, but he told me just now that he is different from Fu Huan, he doesn't like Wanqing, and he finally has a lot of admiration for me, and Wanqing and I are tied 1-1. ”

"Did the Lord of the North Gate say that he didn't like the eldest lady? ”

"When he talked about the person he was looking for, he looked different from me, he was not looking for his relatives, but his sweetheart. This person naturally has nothing to do with Wanqing. ”

"I see. ”

"But even if he doesn't like Wanqing, he won't necessarily reject the 'Lord's daughter', and Master won't turn away such a dragon-riding son-in-law...... right," Qi Rui said, deep in thought.
