20. Chapter XX
More than half of the path referred to in Chiba's note had passed, and Mo Chaoyun silently sped up. The road changes at any time, and later it changes. Mo Chaoyun was worried about this matter, so when she heard that voice at first, she didn't care. By the time she noticed something was wrong, she was a little far away from the voice.
She paused abruptly and listened carefully, as if a vague whimper was heard. Mo Chaoyun made a shushing gesture to the little mandarin duck standing on his shoulder, and then turned back, wanting to see what that voice was.
But before she could get closer, a knife stabbed diagonally into her left shoulder. Mo Chaoyun had already secretly paid attention, so this blow was directly missed, and she kicked out a kick that hit the person's left rib in the middle, only to hear an oops, the person had already pounced, wailing and rolling on the ground.
Following the moonlight, Mo Chaoyun turned his head to look, but saw that there was another person who was taking advantage of the gap to use a hidden weapon, but it was a pity that in front of a secret weapon master like Mo Chaoyun, the action was surprisingly slow. Mo Chaoyun didn't even dodge, he decisively intercepted the hidden weapon head-on, flipped his wrist after clamping the hidden weapon with two fingers, and returned directly.
With a miserable howl, the hidden weapon had been deeply nailed into the palm of the person who was sneaking into the attacker's hand, but it happened that this person was also a useless person, and he fainted with a cry of pain from this injury.
As soon as the person who pounced out before wanted to get up, Mo Chaoyun stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and slapped the back of his neck, and the man didn't snort, so he obediently lost his breath.
Mo Chaoyun said disdainfully: "With such a wine bag and rice bag, you dare to carry out a sneak attack!" β
After cleaning up the two of them, Mo Chaoyun found that where the two were hiding just now, a touch of pink clothes were suddenly exposed. She stepped forward in surprise, only to find that there was a woman lying upright in the grass in the corner. The woman's top was scattered, and this look showed that these two people had definitely not done anything good just now.
Mo Chaoyun was afraid that the woman had been lying on the ground for a long time and the night was cold, so he stepped forward and pushed her, saying, "Girl, are you okay?" Don't lie on the ground, I've cleaned up for you, don't be afraid. β
The girl lying on the ground muttered softly, but her face rubbed against the back of Mo Chaoyun's hand. It doesn't matter if you don't touch it, but when you touch Mo Chaoyun, she was startled, this girl's face is so hot. She felt the fact that she touched her hands and arms, only to realize that she was not just hot, she was hot all over her body.
Got a fever? Mo Chaoyun thought blankly, this needs to look at Lang Zhong, but in addition to this situation, where can she find Lang Zhong...... By the way, Chiba should know how to heal, and she happens to be going to see him too, so without further ado, it is better for her to carry this girl on her back and hurry up to take a look at him. This girl is so hot, she must be very sick. Damn, this girl is sick like this, these two dirty men still want to take advantage of her, thinking of this, Mo Chaoyun snorted angrily and stepped forward to make up for the two of them.
"It's late, it's late......" Xiao Yuanyun suddenly shouted, making Mo Chaoyun come back to his senses immediately, secretly saying that he was confused, the road under her feet would change at any time, she was still wasting time on this trivial matter, and the most important thing at the moment was to go to see Chiba in time while the route had not changed.
Mo Chaoyun spent a long time before finally getting the soft girl on her back, this girl looked slender, but she really carried it and walked a few steps, but she felt that it was extremely difficult to walk, but she cheered herself up and said to Xiao Yuan: "Fortunately, the road is halfway through, and it will be there in a while." β
The little mandarin duck clearly couldn't see Mo Chaoyun's hard work at the moment, so he retracted his wings and stood straight on top of Mo Chaoyun's head. For a while, Mo Chaoyun was so angry that she jumped to her feet, she wanted to scold Xiao Yuan, but she was afraid of attracting irrelevant people, so she lowered her voice and said: "Little Mandarin, you mischievous, do you know what is the last straw that crushes the camel?" β
The little mandarin duck lowered her head and pecked the top of Mo Chaoyun's head, which looked extremely frivolous at the moment, with her beak, still pressing her with peace of mind, so angry that Mo Chaoyun snorted: "You are worse than the straw that crushed the camel, do you know?" You last parrot that crushed me......"
Mo Chaoyun panted like a cow all the way, and finally completed the last section of the road on the Chiba note. Seeing the unusual mushroom-shaped eaves he had seen before, Mo Chaoyun sat on the ground and couldn't get up. She tore the girl off her back, and then lay on the ground without a look, panting for breath.
The little mandarin duck, which would only add to the burden all the way, suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the distance. Suddenly, the sound of gentle footsteps stopped not far from Mo Chaoyun, and the person who came spoke with disgust, "Why don't you come late, this time it's two times later than I expected, and you haven't been locked in the formation yet." β
Mo Chaoyun tried to crane his neck and look back, and it was really Chiba who spoke, and the traitor little mandarin duck had already stood on Chiba's right shoulder in an orderly manner.
Mo Chaoyun sighed, reluctantly sat up, and argued: "I am doing chivalry on the road, you don't praise me, but you want to sarcastically mock me." β
"Chivalrous?" Chiba looked at the woman lying next to Mo Chaoyun, and frowned: "When did I allow you to bring people to me casually?" β
Mo Chaoyun was unhappy and retorted: "Then you mean to show that when you see someone who wants to bully/insult this girl, you have to turn a blind eye and walk over?" Obviously, this girl has a fever and looks very strict, and I want to let her lie on the cold ground all night, and let her fend for herself? β
Chiba ignored her, turned around and walked back. Mo Chaoyun couldn't help but cry out when he saw this, "Chiba, hey, Lord Chiba, you can at least help me put her in." β
Chiba sneered: "You should be a good person all the way, how can you not start and finish well?" β
Mo Chaoyun thought angrily, even if she was tired to death, she couldn't show weakness, she didn't ask him, she came by herself! Just as she was trying to lift the woman, a man in black stepped forward silently, took the girl from her hand, a dashing princess embraced, and walked in front.
"Wu Kuang, it's you." By the moonlight, Mo Chaoyun recognized at a glance that the man in black was Wu Kuang, and immediately said in surprise.
She walked a few steps quickly, and wanted to say something more, but unfortunately Wu Kuang just blindly walked forward and never paid attention to Mo Chaoyun anymore.
I came here by mistake last time, but I never came in, and now I followed Wu Kuang into the main hall, and I felt that this place was so empty as if there were no people. This is not the courtyard where Mo Chaoyun lived briefly before.
Wu Kuang placed the woman on a chair closest to the door, and then retreated to the door. But I heard Chiba say: "Wu Kuang, there's nothing for you to do here, step down." β
Wu Kuang replied respectfully, "Yes, Chiba-sama." He withdrew silently and silently closed the door of the temple.
In the empty hall, only Mo Chaoyun and Chiba were left staring at each other. Chiba didn't seem to intend to deal with Mo Chaoyun, he sat in front of the long bookcase closest to the main hall, and was flipping through a book with the lamp.
Mo Chaoyun was not as calm and relaxed as him, she hesitated for a moment, and then stubbornly flattered: "Lord Chiba, please help take a look at that girl's illness, she has a terrible fever......"
Before she finished speaking, Chiba threw the book in her hand on the bookcase and stared at her coldly: "I didn't see that you were in trouble before, and you came to find me unhappy." β
Mo Chaoyun was stunned by Chiba, and said aggrievedly: "I met this girl on the way to the rescue, so I rescued her." β
"Bad guys?" Chiba sneered: "This is the Demon Cave, you can tell me, who is the name of the villain in your mouth, which courtyard does it belong to, and which of the walking subordinates?" β
Mo Chaoyun was stunned, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
Chiba snorted: "It's not bad, with your reckless personality, you should be directly knocked unconscious and then thrown on the road, right?" β
Mo Chaoyun was said by Chiba like this, and he felt inexplicably weak, "This ......"
Chiba pointed to the woman on the chair: "You keep saying that you saved her, so have you ever looked at the abnormalities on her body?" You don't even know who she is, and it's your first mistake tonight to dare to make a rash move. β
Mo Chaoyun asked blankly: "Then there is a second major mistake?" β
Chiba said coldly: "I can make an exception for you, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the demon cave has no rules like you." I don't know the rules, I have a mouth under my nose, won't I ask? When did my temple of heaven and man enter a woman? You have the audacity to decide to bring someone to me in private, Mo Chaoyun, are you guilty? β
Perhaps, it was because Chiba had never put the Demon Venerable in front of her, so that at this moment, she was a little afraid of the majesty and severity he exuded at this moment.
Yes, how could she be naΓ―ve to think that Chiba would save this girl according to her heart? What is she? And what is Chiba's identity? In his eyes, he didn't think she was helping others to do good, but he thought she was stupid and troublesome...... How could she be so self-righteous and wishful thinking.
I don't know why, maybe it's because he has never reprimanded her so loudly, she suddenly felt wronged, took a few deep breaths, and forced back the tears that welled up in her eyes, she straightened her waist and tried to calm down: "Please forgive Lord Chiba, I will take this girl away in a while, but I came tonight for the matter of Shen Gui, what I want to know is ......"
Chiba suddenly waved her hand to interrupt her. He walked out from behind the bookcase, ignored Mo Chaoyun, and walked straight to the woman who was crooked on the chair like boneless cotton, walked around her slowly, and suddenly sneered coldly: "The newcomers in the first courtyard this year are much more powerful than in previous years, and the building is tilted forward, but it can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai, this scheming is really not comparable to ordinary people." β
Mo Chaoyun was secretly annoyed because Chiba ignored her, but when she heard Chiba say this, she was puzzled, so she asked, "What do you mean?" β
Chiba sat firmly on the chair opposite the woman, and said coolly, "You brought back the waste chess pieces from the first courtyard, but you came to ask me what I mean." β
