13. Chapter XIII
Mo Chaoyun didn't think about it, so he said, "What are you betting on?" ”
Chiba said: "If you don't ask, you should gamble, aren't you afraid that you will pay me for your life when the time comes?" ”
Mo Chaoyun replied: "My life is here, if you have the ability, take it." ”
"It's quite arrogant, but it's a pity that I don't appreciate people who act so impulsively, sometimes if you think about it a little more, maybe you won't make many enemies on the first day you go to the Nineteenth Academy."
Qianye's words were like a whip slapping Mo Chaoyun's arrogant face, she was embarrassed and then surprised, how could he know that she had made many enemies on the first day she arrived in the Nineteenth Academy?
"You wonder why I knew you had made a lot of enemies on day one, did you?" Chiba seemed to be able to read minds, he looked at Mo Chaoyun's face and said unhurriedly.
Seeing Mo Chaoyun nodding, Chiba said: "Aunt Yun's left hand has an old injury and can't be tired, she left with her right hand when she carried the food box, which means that it was full, and it was heavy with the food she brought to you, and when she returned, she changed her left hand, which means that the food inside has been looted by you." The people living in the Nineteenth Courtyard are all martial arts practitioners, so the diet is originally more abundant than other courtyards, and you actually ate all of Aunt Yun's food, which can only mean that you haven't eaten a single bite in the Nineteenth Courtyard. There are only two possibilities for not eating, either you are afraid of being poisoned, or you are surrounded by strong enemies and have no leisure time to eat. ”
Although Mo Chaoyun didn't say anything, judging from the dilated appearance of her pupils, he should have said it right. Thinking of this, Chiba hooked his lips slightly and laughed, he decided to give Mo Chaoyun a fierce medicine to eat, so that she could surrender as soon as possible.
"Actually, what I'm going to gamble on is your life." Seeing Mo Chaoyun's expression change when he heard this, Chiba said again: "I bet that if you don't follow the method I taught you, it will be impossible for you to leave the Nineteenth Courtyard alive." ”
Mo Chaoyun was stunned and said, "Do you think I will die in the Nineteenth Courtyard?" ”
Chiba looked at her disapprehantly: "What do you think is the place of the Nineteenth Courtyard?" I think you've heard the rumors that there is a competition at the end of every other month, and the results of the competition are the difference between life and death. You're out of luck and can't come at the right time. At this point, the month is halfway over, and your time is running out. ”
Mo Chaoyun felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, but he still said stiffly: "That's ...... That may not have hit me the first time, I ......" She suddenly shut up, unable to utter a word again.
Chiba sneered: "It seems that you have finally opened your mind, you thought that the selection of people was random, so you left your life to fate?" You think you're lucky, so you can't just hit you right away, right? After he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Chaoyun coldly, "Mo Chaoyun, you are really not suitable for gambling, you don't know what gambling is." We're gambling your life, with such a big chip, are you going to resign yourself to fate and not fight for your own odds? If thou shalt answer yes, go back at once, and we shall not see it tonight." ”
Mo Chaoyun hurriedly said: "Naturally, it's not ......"
"It's good if not. I guess you just shut up and finally realized something, right? Too many enemies are taboos, and since you have become a thorn in the side of many people, it is difficult for you not to die, understand? Where there are people, there will be no absolute fairness, and it is impossible for one person to win against a group of people, not to mention that you are still the person who is least familiar with the rules of the game in that place. ”
Mo Chaoyun was at a loss when he heard this, "What should I do?" ”
"Let's talk about it first, why didn't you have dinner tonight, what happened?" Chiba didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Mo Chaoyun wanted to speak and stopped, with a look of hesitation on his face. Chiba swept her eyes and snorted, "You want to know why I'm helping you?" If I help you, what's in it for me? ”
Mo Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, but saw Qianye shake his head and said, "If you doubt my sincerity, then it's a pity, I don't plan to tell you the reason." If you doubt my ability to help you, I can prove it now. ”
After he finished speaking, he shook the embroidered sachet in his hand again: "If I guess your identity, then it will be deemed that you have accepted my mention and gambling contract, and during the agreement, you will obey my instructions, and never disobey, never resist, and never regret it, how about it?" ”
Mo Chaoyun really didn't know what Chiba was doing, but he would never guess her identity. They haven't met much, they don't talk much, and they haven't even revealed their origins to anyone, including Yun Gu, and even if Chiba is able to communicate with the gods, it is impossible to know it out of thin air. Thinking of this, she was slightly relieved, so she nodded in agreement.
But he didn't expect Chiba to laugh suddenly, his expression was full of banter and ridicule, but the moment he looked at her, he became more affirmative and serious than ever: "You are the personal escort of Huo Xiyun, the king of Yanping County in Beizhao." ”
Mo Chaoyun only felt that her eyes were black, and when she heard Huo Xiyun's three words, she couldn't help but take two or three steps back, and subconsciously entered a state of attack and defense.
Seeing her as if she was facing a great enemy, Chiba felt amused and said, "I know that I am invincible, so it's better not to come hard." Although I don't know much about this crescent bean, I do know that it has a very strange characteristic, that is, the homeland is the fruit, and the enemy country is the sand...... I just let go of my hand and let it fall into the soil of South Vietnam, and it will instantly wither and turn to sand, I guess this is a scene you don't want to see, right? But if you keep scaring me, maybe I won't be able to hold it, and I won't be able to fall. ”
Mo Chaoyun was like a deflated ball, depressed, and asked extremely puzzled: "How do you know?" I guess I never revealed it, right? Did I say it when I was unconscious? ”
Chiba snorted when he heard this, and then said, "Don't worry, you slept very deeply when you were unconscious, and you definitely didn't say any nonsense." ”
Mo Chaoyunhu asked, "How do you know that I didn't say anything when I was unconscious?" So you're there? What did you do? I've always wondered why my crescent beans are falling off, when they are clearly sealed with a chain buckle, and they don't ......fall off at all."
Chiba cut her off: "I thought what you wanted to know most at this moment was why I knew your identity, but it seems that you are not interested in the slightest. ”
Mo Chaoyun hurriedly said: "No, no, how do you know, I really want to know." ”
"It's very simple, it's this little embroidered sachet."
"Little sachets?" Mo Chaoyun asked, "What's wrong with the little sachet?" ”
"This is a small purple sachet, purple is very common in South Vietnam, but it is a luxurious color in Beizhao, which is a symbol of the royal family and the royal family, so the owner of the sachet must be a member of the royal family of Beizhao. The sachet is embroidered with the rising sun and bamboo, which shows that the owner likes to be quiet and elegant, and he is a handsome son. The fabric of the sachet is a little old, maybe it is rubbing, maybe it is washing, but the strap that binds the sachet is new, and the color is slightly off, which shows that the owner cherishes this sachet very much, or this sachet is an item that the owner cannot discard, so even if the strap is broken, it is necessary to match it with new ones as much as possible. The jade on the belt is very exquisite, it is the famous mineral black stone in Yanxi, Beizhao Yanxi, this kind of jade is famous but rare, so it is impossible for ordinary people to have it, and Yanxi is the fief of Huo Xiyun, the king of Yanping County, this Yanping County King Aizhu is famous, so his mansion is planted and cultivated, and it is well known. ”
Chiba stopped when he said this, looked at Mo Chaoyun's frowning brows, and continued: "You are very vigilant, you are exceptionally calm and calm when you are in danger, you are good at observation, and you have a keen sense of danger, this should be a habit that you have developed for a long time, because you need this ability to make a living, or to protect the people you want to protect. There are thick calluses on the fingers, indicating that you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and there are old injuries on your body, although there are many but few fatal ones, indicating that you are either very capable, or you are very favored and maintained by the owner. You have good skills but you don't have the breath of killing, so you're not a killer, you're a guard. It must have a lot to do with a guard being able to get such an important sachet from the master, so I position you as a personal companion, of course, if you say it's his woman, I don't object to it. ”
Mo Chaoyun was already staring at Chiba a little stupidly, but when he heard this, his face instantly turned into a boiled crab: "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing more than thinking about the king of the county, and I respect him very much......"
Chiba nonchalantly interrupted her confession: "It's not, it's not important. ”
"Who said it doesn't matter, it's very important, it's about the name of the county king, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Chaoyun shouted angrily.
"Oh?" Chiba glanced at her: "Originally, it wasn't important, but you were so angry and corrupted, and it became important again." You like him, right? ”
Mo Chaoyun: "......"
Chiba said again: "Don't worry, he likes you too." ”
"You!" Mo Chaoyun was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Looking at Mo Chaoyun's puffed face, Chiba smiled silently and didn't explain again. A girl who doesn't open her mind has wasted a piece of the county prince's thoughts.
There are beans in the north, called crescent moon, the whole body is red, and it is one year old. The homeland is the fruit, the enemy country is sand, the color is like blood condensation, and the heart is spiritual. Beans are like my heart, always looking forward to Jun'an, holding this bean, and becoming one heart.
There are the last four lines of the unfinished ballad, and they are also the most important ones. Because this bean is as red as blood, it is often used to replace sincerity, and after a long time, it has the meaning of love beans.
But none of this has anything to do with him. Chiba asked, "How?" ”
Mo Chaoyun took a deep breath: "That's right, you guessed right, I am indeed the personal escort of Huo Xiyun, the king of Yanping County in Northern Zhao. ”
"Very well, you just admit it. At this point, our bet officially came into effect. You're going to accept my mention, right? ”
Mo Chaoyun was basically convinced of Chiba's ability, she remembered what Aunt Yun had said to her, she said that Chiba's most powerful thing was his mind? Perhaps, what Yun Gu said was not alarmist. She is now in a crisis in the Nineteenth Academy, and being able to get Chiba to help her is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and she should be grateful to him. But for some reason, she inexplicably felt that Chiba was dangerous, and it seemed that she was seeking skin with the tiger, but was there any other choice?
Thinking of this, Mo Chaoyun nodded solemnly at Chiba.
After calming his rapid breathing in front of the small colonnade, Mo Chaoyun pushed the door and entered the house. It was late at night, and the house was pitch black, and they were all asleep. Mo Chaoyun sighed lightly, turned around and took the door, and then turned back, but saw a figure close in front of him, which frightened Mo Chaoyun.
"Is that you?" The figure was obviously surprised, as if the person who pushed the door in was very different from the person she had expected.
"Mo Xun?" The figure quickly lit the lamp, and Mo Chaoyun saw that this person was actually Mo Xun, she was fully dressed, not at all the description that she had gone to bed to rest, and she was still holding the Qiushui Sword in her hand, and her face was gloomy and terrifying.
Mo Xun pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Mo Chaoyun to sit down. Mo Chaoyun was puzzled, but when he saw Mo Xun close his eyes fiercely, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Ye Zhu is gone." ”
What the? Mo Chaoyun then realized that he looked around the whole room, it was empty, and sure enough, Mo Xun was the only one there. So she hurriedly asked, "Where did she go?" ”
Mo Xun pursed his lips, frowned and shook his head, "I thought it was her just now." When she said this, she suddenly stroked the Qiushui Sword in her hand. Mo Chaoyun's mind was like lightning and stone fire, that's right! With Ye Zhu's usual style of acting, coupled with tonight's mutation, Mo Xun must have thought that Ye Zhu was missing in the light, and secretly wanted to solve her together, so he pretended to fall asleep, but in fact, he waited in the room for Ye Zhu's night attack.
Mo Chaoyun and Mo Xun's eyes met, Mo Xun obviously saw that Mo Chaoyun had guessed her intentions, so he said, "Where do you say she will go?" She hadn't been so late at night. ”
