27. Games

Tiger Hill, there is a river stream to the north of the camp where the army is stationed. The moon is round tonight, like a mirror in the sky.

Yan Xu's body was long and jade, quietly hidden in the dark, quietly looking at the stream, on a big stone by the stream, Yili was sitting cross-legged on it, his hands were folded and his lips were lightly opened, and he was silently reciting the scriptures.

After looking at it for a while, Yan Xu sneered at the corner of his mouth, stepped out of the shadows, and slowly walked towards the stream, "Is it useful?" The red dust is in your heart, even if you chant the scriptures until the day you die, you can't get rid of it, why deceive yourself. ”

Yili opened his eyes and watched Yan Xu step out of the forest, he had no entourage by his side, and he didn't see Xiyue. He ignored his taunts and only calmly asked, "What about the leaves?" ”

Yan Xu slowly came to the stream and stood still, then smiled, "Leaves...... What do you mean by cherishing the moon? She's missing. ”

Yili was stunned, stood up straight, and saw that he said lightly, and was not sure for a moment whether what he said was true or false, "Missing?" How could you allow her to go missing? Who believes? ”

Yan Xu put her hands behind her back, kicked a stone with her foot, and watched the stone sink into the water, making a circle of ripples, "Yes, I obviously saw her look so closely, and no one believed her when she said it, but she did disappear, and she was robbed just three days ago." ”

Yili was silent, since that night he gave the Xiyue Shiyuan Dan, he has been hiding near Tiger Hill, he believes that if she eats the Shiyuan Dan and remembers everything, with her cleverness, she will definitely find a way to meet him. But before he arrived tonight, he found that there were almost no guards around, and he easily sneaked in.

It seems that either she didn't take Shi Yuan Dan and leaked his whereabouts to Yan Xu, or what Yan Xu said was true, she was really robbed, and his subordinates were all sent out to find people, so there was no defense in the camp at all. He began to believe that this was true, Yan Xu acted cunning and ruthless, but he was also an arrogant person, and he never disdained to do something pretentious. He just wondered, with Yan Xu's caution and ability, who had the ability to snatch people from under his nose?

"Who did that?"

Yan Xu turned his face sideways to look at Yili, his dark and deep eyes turned around on his face, and he didn't answer him, but said lightly: "Why don't we make a game?" ”

Yili raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him silently, not understanding why he suddenly said that.

Yan Xu turned his head and stopped looking at him, the face that was so ethereal that it seemed not to eat the fireworks of the world always made him feel an inexplicable jealousy, if he looked at it for a long time, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not cut him a thousand times on impulse.

He cast his gaze on the boundless darkness in front of him, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, and then said quietly: "I will give you ten days, if you find her faster than my people, she can go with you...... If she's willing. ”

Yili was stunned, almost unable to believe his ears, he looked at Yan Xu, and after a pause, Yan Xu's originally calm face suddenly showed a smile, and there was some joy in his voice, and he continued: "But if she doesn't want to, you have to take her away...... It's not impossible, just exchange the Fuxi gossip. ”

He knew that Yan Xu would not let him go lightly, and his clear eyes gradually deepened, staring at the man a few feet away, he stood there calmly, so confident, his tone was relaxed, as if he was talking to him, but in fact, what he said was no different from talking about the night. Yan Xu's thoughts about Fuxi's gossip are obvious, not to mention Master Duyi, even he himself will never allow it.

Ye Zi, who has no memory, will not go with him, he knows this very well, he suddenly couldn't understand why Yan Xu wanted to put forward such a condition, he didn't worry about forcibly taking her away after he found Ye Zi?

But he didn't have time to think about it, since he knew that Ye Zi was not by Yan Xu's side, this was the best time to save her, and when the time came, whether she wanted to or not, he took her back to Wuhuang Mountain, and Du Yi and Hui Shui would find a way. He didn't have time to think about it, he just said the word "good" and spun on his tiptoes, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace.

Yan Xu quietly looked at the direction where he disappeared, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said slowly: "Good luck." ”

He suddenly felt that although Yuan Mu had made things complicated by intervening sideways, it seemed that now it had added a bit of excitement to this game.

For a few days, Xiyue had to follow An Yi to hurry, she didn't think about running, because she knew that he was right, this was already the Wei Kingdom, where could she run as a Jin woman? And she was convinced that Yan Xu would definitely come to save her. In the past few days, although he has been very attentive to her, there is very little conversation between the two, she just follows him numbly, that is, she does not ask questions or ignore him, he gives her water to drink, she eats what she is given, and she never procrastinates when she is in a hurry. He tried to please her, but she was lukewarm, and he was disappointed in her attitude, but more helpless.

On this day, the two finally walked out of the mountains and forests and walked on the official road, hiking in the mountains and forests for days, which made the two of them unbearable. An Yi and her sat in a small tea house on the side of the road to rest, seeing her dress in tatters, she couldn't help feeling guilty, and said to her: "Walk a few miles further, there is a small town in front, let's buy some new clothes to change, you can sleep in the town inn tonight, and buy two horses tomorrow morning, with horses, you won't be as hard as before on the road." ”

Xiyue will not object, nor should he, continue to eat the naan in his hand. These days, in the mountains and forests, he either eats wild fruits or eats the game he hunts, and he has long been tired of panicking, seeing that she is eating well at this time, An Yi felt pity, and took a piece of cake and handed it to her, "Eat slowly, tonight in the town, we will find a restaurant to have a good meal." ”

Xiyue didn't look at him, but took the cake unceremoniously. An Yi smiled, picked up the tea bowl and poured a few sips, and slowly tore off the naan cake and put it in his mouth, while eating, he looked around leisurely, and after a while, he ate in his hand, looking at the sky in the distance with a strange face. Xiyue originally ignored him, but it could be seen that his face was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and followed his gaze.

The sky was blue and deep, with only a few white clouds floating lightly, and a silver-white falcon was soaring over the vast canopy. Xiyue glanced at it a few times, but didn't see anything wrong, and said to herself: "Silver eagles are rare. ”

An Yi but with a solemn expression, "It's not an ordinary falcon, it's a parrot, the most ferocious of all birds of prey, and it's especially sensitive to smells. ”

Xiyue tore a piece of bread into her mouth and chewed it, and looked at him lightly, "So what?" ”

An Yi shook his head, the beast nature of the crane is too strong, it is extremely difficult to domesticate, and it generally only appears in the barren mountains or deserts, and he doesn't know if this bird appears here, whether it will have anything to do with them, but said: "It's a little weird, I hope its appearance here is just a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

He was uneasy and urged to go on the road as soon as possible. When I arrived in the town, I hurriedly changed into clean clothes, bought two good horses, and then found an inn to settle in. Originally, he planned to take her to eat well, but when he thought of the fish today, he felt uneasy, and in order to avoid accidents, he only ate in the inn room.

The two of them only needed an upper room, and when they came out of the bath room, they saw Xiyue sitting cross-legged on the couch, her eyes closed, as if she was practicing.

In the days when she escaped, she sat and practiced like this for a few hours every night, he was a little strange, thinking of the strange cold air when she shot that day, he couldn't help asking: "Ye Zi, what kind of skills are you practicing?" You have the pure yang qi that is given to you by crossing over, and your foundation is not suitable for cultivating the internal strength of yin qi. ”

Xiyue slowly opened her eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Don't worry about it." She stretched and threw a mattress on the couch to Anyi, "I'm tired, I need to rest." ”

The implication was that he should sleep on the ground. An Yi took the mattress and rubbed his nose aggrievedly, "I sleep in the cave every day, and I sleep so much that I have pimples on my back, and it is rare to have a high bed and soft pillows, you are ruthless." ”

Xiyue ignored him, pulled the mattress over her body, and lay down with her back outward. An Yi played for a while, stepped up and lay down beside her, and pulled half of the mattress to cover it, "I am your husband who has not passed the door, and it is a matter of time before I marry you, and sleeping on the same bed is not too much." Have mercy on me, and let me sleep comfortably tonight. ”

Xiyue was suddenly annoyed, pulled back the mattress and scolded: "Bastard, if you hadn't forcibly taken me away, I would have to endure hardships in the deep mountains and old forests every day?" Are you embarrassed for me to pity you? Get down! ”

"Hey, you're unreasonable? If I hadn't saved you, you would have been sold to a green house or a rich man's family as a concubine by those people. You don't appreciate me, but you blame me? ”

Xiyue choked for a while, although she knew that what he said was reasonable, but she didn't want to admit it. She kicked him with her feet and pushed him with her hands, but An Yi closed her eyes, with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth, and her body did not move like a stone.

She was busy for a while, and saw that he was lying on the couch with an iron heart, although she was angry, but if she wanted to sleep on the ground by herself, she couldn't swallow that breath, and besides, she was really tired from running around all day. She kicked him angrily, lay on her side, leaned back into the innermost part, away from him.

The corners of An Yi's mouth curled, he turned sideways to look at her back, and poked her back with the fingers of his other hand, "Hey, Yezi, don't sleep, talk to me." ”

She ignored him and didn't move. An Yi didn't mind, and said to himself: "You used to be petty, but now that you have no memory, this little bit of pettiness has not changed." In the past, you were always lazy in your practice, and every time you wanted to punish you, you would quietly come to me and ask me to take you down the mountain to play. That time, you heard from the people in the town that there was a lantern festival in Yicheng, so I took you there, and that time we went for two days, but Yili was in a hurry......"

He talked to himself for a while, and found that Xiyue had let out a long breath, thinking that she was really tired these days, he stopped talking, and moved his body slightly closer to her. She had just been freshened up, and there was a faint scent of soaphorn on her body, and she carried him on her back, and he could not see her face, but only her long hair falling softly on the pillow, and her slender white neck looked so weak in the faint candlelight, which was pitiful. His heart fluttered slightly, remembering that the two had been so close before, and couldn't help but lean over and lightly imprint on her neck.

Unexpectedly, Xiyue slept very lightly, and she woke up with a light touch, her elbow slammed back, right in the middle of the comfortable chest, he only had time to snort, and then she kicked out with a heavy kick.

An Yi rubbed his chest and abdomen in pain, and got up from the ground while underestimating, "Little conscienceless, uncle, I risked my life to save you from the dire situation, how do you repay your life-saving benefactor?" ”

Xiyue stared at him viciously, "If you get close to me, I'll kill you." ”

An Yi actually didn't think about anything, just now she couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw her, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't mess with you, you sleep with you, I'll sleep ......on the ground."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly looked out of the window fixedly, his face full of surprise. Through the half-opened window, an eagle falcon was standing motionless, firmly on the roof of the opposite room, its silver-white fur dazzling under the moonlight.
