The sky was bright, and there were clouds of white water vapor in the grass, and Chu Feifei sneezed and woke up.

Eyes swept around, and found that she was the only one in this grass nest.

The black cloth burden was still in the old place yesterday, and the place where the boy slept was still warm to the touch, and it looked like he had just left.

Chu Feifei stood up and looked in the direction of the city wall of Qilan County, the dilapidated and ancient city wall stood at the end of the wasteland, the top of the damaged battlements revealed a clear and transparent sky, and an officer and soldier yawned and stretched his waist and poked his head on the city wall.

Chu Feifei hurriedly squatted down, and his heart sank secretly.

Last night, the soldiers of Qilan County and the archers of the Northern Desert faced each other, no matter who lost or who won, it should be a bloody battle, but now looking at the scattered appearance of the guards on the city wall, it is not at all like there was a fierce battle last night.

Either Zeng Zhicheng easily defeated the Northern Desert in Qilan County, or Zeng Zhicheng had actually been in the same stream with the Northern Desert for a long time.

Thinking of the dozens of bowers in the Northern Desert, they were hiding in this small county town, but there was not the slightest rumor coming out, if there was no intentional cover from the government, how could they hide it from the elite soldiers of the forbidden army under Wu Yi?

Thinking of this, Chu Feifei's heart felt a slight chill. Zeng Zhicheng, she remembered, when Emperor Chengming Palace designed her to go down to Jinzhou to control the water, didn't he use a piece of dragon scales offered by Zeng Zhicheng in Qilan County? There is no need to care about whether the dragon scales are true or false now, but Zeng Zhicheng's kung fu is one by one, and the little county man can hide from his boss who is also good at official morals, and shoot the sycophants directly to the emperor. The energy of Zeng Zhicheng itself should not be underestimated.

It's just that why did Zeng Zhicheng kill her? Such a shrewd guy, why did he have to choose his own Qilan County to attack her? And why did Zeng Zhicheng collude with the Northern Desert? Jinju is located in the interior, and it is thousands of miles away from the Northern Desert, so what good is it for him to do this?

Just when Chu Feifei's heart was in a mess, the barren grass behind him suddenly shook. She reached into her arms vigilantly and grasped the dagger as she stared coldly at where the movement had come.

Finally, the grass is divided. A swarthy face peeked out from among the green blades of grass. There is a conspicuous scar near the side of the face that looks like a burn. A pair of black and white eyes glanced lightly at Chu Feifei's hand in his arms, and walked into this grass nest.

Chu Feifei took a step back and looked him up and down. Said tentatively: "Mu Si? "Last night, the boy had a sludge and blood stain on his face. I can't see it at all. I couldn't tell what I was wearing at night, so Chu Feifei was really a little uncertain when he saw this person at this moment.

The man picked up the burden from the ground. I found a nest and gnawed it, and when I saw that Chu Feifei was still standing there, I said inarticulately: "There is a big stone over there, and there is a little dew in the pothole, you have to drink it yourself, and when the sun comes out, that little bit of dew is gone." ”

This person's voice was a little hoarse, but it was indeed Mu Si's voice, Chu Feifei looked at his forehead again, and sure enough, he saw a new wound with a scar, it seems that he is indeed the young man from last night.

Chu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief slightly, shook his head, sat down again, and secretly held the hand of the dagger, and also let go. just remembered Zeng Zhicheng's sinisterness, and took care of Wu Yi Shao Fei, Ah Fang and Ah Shu, who didn't know life and death.

Mu Si gnawed on the head of the nest, glanced at the worried Chu Feifei with the corner of his eye, and pushed the burden on the ground in the direction of Chu Feifei with his feet: "When you fell asleep last night, I ate two, and there is still one left here." ”

"I'm not hungry, you can eat it all." Chu Feifei shook her head slightly, since she was seriously ill two months ago, she had been eating very little, and naturally she would not want to eat this black and yellow nest at this time.

Mu Si sneered unappreciatively: "Lord Shao can't eat this kind of coarse food, right?" ”

"Do you know who I am?" Chu Feifei looked at the young man quietly. It's not strange to know who she is, when Ah Shu and the others talked to her at that time, they didn't carry this Mu Si on their backs, and her Chu Feifei's name is known to everyone in Jinzhou, but it is more interesting to know who she is and talk to her with this attitude.

The sarcasm at the corner of Mu Si's mouth just floated, but it disappeared again, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I heard the people in the courtyard call you like this last night, and you know." ”

"Really?" Chu Feifei looked at the young man opposite him silently, and finally his eyes fell on his hands, although the skin of the hands was dark, but the five fingers were slender, the joints were well-proportioned, and there were no thick joints that were common to croppers.

"Give me your right hand." Chu Feifei said suddenly.

Mu Si inexplicably handed over the head of the nest to his left hand and stretched out his right hand: "What to do?" ”

Chu Feifei picked up the hand that was stained with the scum, rubbed it carefully with his fingers, and checked the palm of his hand before hesitantly letting go.

There was no callus on Mu Si's fingers that she thought she would have to hold a pen, and there was no obvious mark on the palm of her hand that had been holding a weapon all year round. Is it really that I am thinking too much? This Mu Si is just an ordinary teenager who is smarter?

Chu Feifei just wanted the young man to check her left hand, but she heard the young man lower his voice and say, "Someone is coming." ”

Chu Feifei was startled, looked back, but saw nothing.

"You!" Chu Feifei frowned and said angrily.

The boy cocked his finger and shushed, and then the cat took a few steps forward and carefully picked up the grass.

I saw a small group of black-clothed men galloping out of the city gate in the distance, and then divided into three roads, all the way along the avenue to the west of the direction of Fengying City, all the way in the opposite direction, and the rest of the people dismounted and came to the wasteland.

Chu Feifei's face changed slightly, there was no doubt that these people in black were looking for her, it seemed that they had already noticed that she was not dead.

"They'll find it soon." The boy whispered, "We must leave immediately." ”

"Go to the river, there are a lot of people on the construction site, you can hide." Chu Feifei glanced at the river embankment that was getting noisy in the distance. It was early summer, and most of the laborers had set up straw huts under the river embankment to rest on the spot, and now the sky was bright and the laborers had begun their day's work.

The young man nodded slightly: "You follow me, remember not to speak." ”

The two of them hastily cleaned up the grass nest, tried to eliminate as many traces as possible of anyone staying, and then carefully went to the embankment.

Somewhere in the mountains and forests,

In the shade of the trees stood several black-clad riders, the first two wearing the same style of black robes, but the legs of the robes were embroidered with different patterns, one was seawater and the other was flame.

A blue-feathered and red-billed bird squeaked strangely and landed on the shoulder of one of the black-robed men, who reached out and took a thinly rolled note from the bird's leg, read it for a moment, and smiled: "Everything is going according to plan." ”

The black-robed man beside him was wearing a black hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and he was just silent when he heard the words.
