- The commander of the city patrol team was not familiar with the young man in cloth, but when the other party walked calmly and slowly, the commander was already vaguely aware of a problem in his heart.

Mo Ye, who was standing still, stared closely at the two people who were approaching each other more than a dozen steps away, and saw that the two stood three steps apart.

The cloth-clothed young man first arched his hand to the captain of the city, and then took something out of his sleeve and held it in the palm of his hand, and spread it out in front of the captain. The captain's eyes drooped for a moment, and his face suddenly became stern, and he let go of the hand that had been bent and clenched on the hilt of the saber at his waist, and raised his hands to clench his fists at the cloth-clothed young man.

The two chatted briefly with each other, then smiled at each other, and soon gave up their hands at the same time, but they were saying goodbye. Then the captain turned and left with his men. The cloth-clothed young man stood in place and watched the group walk away, before he turned his head and beckoned to Mo Ye.

Mo Ye walked closer quickly and asked casually, "What happened?" ”

The cloth-clothed young man shook his head slightly and said, "A small misunderstanding." ”

"That sir... It didn't seem very kind at first. Mo Ye followed a few steps faster, and did not rest behind the young man, but walked beside him, hesitated slightly, and then asked, "It can't be that you are also in trouble, right?" ”

Hearing this, the young man turned his face to Mo Ye and smiled indifferently: "Trouble? If what happened just now is troublesome, then it's the trouble you caused me. ”

Mo Ye couldn't help but be stunned, his pace suddenly slowed down, and he quickly fell a few steps behind.

The young man realized this and had no choice but to stop and turn around. Looking at Mo Ye and gently said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the owner of the early shop just now treated me as a human trafficker and reported it to the night patrol captain who happened to pass by there shortly after we left." ”

"I'm not really a human trafficker, so it's okay to report it a few more times. But then again, I'm glad to see that the security in Kyoto is getting better and better, and maybe when I need to retire, I won't leave here. The young man stretched out a finger and scraped his eyebrow bone, the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, and there was a hint of yearning in his eyes.

After a slight pause. He beckoned to Mo Ye: "Come on!" ”

"Oh." Mo Ye quickened his pace again. Following the young man, because of his words, Mo Ye remembered that Wu Shu had said that his house was robbed outside the city, and she couldn't help but ask, "I heard Uncle Wu say it." In the past, even Kyoto was at the feet of the Son of Heaven. It's also a thief who runs rampant. The testimonies are confused. ”

The young man sighed and said, "No, at that time, there were two worlds inside and outside the city. Lao Wu's family just wanted to go out to play, and they were robbed by mountain bandits halfway through. Not only was the property robbed, but more than a dozen members of the fifth family's family were also killed. Lao Wu only mentioned this matter once to a few brothers a few years ago, but as soon as we saw Lao Wu's face, we felt that this past seemed to be what Lao Wu had only said yesterday. ”

It seemed that it felt that just walking silently along the way would be a little boring, and the young man chatted with Mo Ye without a clue.

"At that time, there was a saying among the people, called 'There are two kings in the country' to read the full text of the legend of the emperor." After the young man said this, he didn't continue immediately, but turned his head to look at Mo Ye, who was parallel to him, and asked with a smile, "Do you know which two kings they are?" ”

"This ...... Years ago, how do I know. Mo Ye smiled a little far-fetched.

Although she couldn't answer, the young man didn't actually expect her to answer, but the key to conversation was interaction, and he didn't want to sing a one-man show by himself. However, between this question and answer, the two were unconsciously familiar with each other a little more than when they first met, and from his words, Mo Ye could faintly hear that his friendship with Wu Shu was not shallow.

"It's not hard to guess what it's supposed to do." The young man wrenched his fingers and said, "This first king is, of course, the emperor who lives in the inner city, and the second king is the king of the mountains who is besieging the city of Kyoto." ”

Seeing that Mo Ye's face was slightly gloomy, the young man also realized that what he said was a bit excessive, he cleared his throat with a dry cough, he pulled the joke on his face, and watched Mo Ye change the topic suddenly: "You really don't remember me at all?" ”

Mo Ye shook his head, and said directly without shying away from his original intentions: "You said that you are Wu Shu's brother, I guess you may also know Uncle Jiang Chao, but I really don't remember that I have ever seen you." ”

"Jiang Chao... Alas......" mentioned a person's name, and the young man sighed, but it indirectly confirmed Mo Ye's speculation. After a moment of silence, the young man spoke again: "After the accident, the Lin family's house was sealed, and I took you in. ”

After his words, Mo Ye's heart sank, and at the same time, a figure in his mind suddenly became clear.

The fire in the Lin family's old mansion is a memory in Mo Ye's heart that may be difficult to dissipate for the rest of her life, but she can't remember the other people and things that accompany this gray memory, which may be because the Lin family's incident has torn out too deep pain in her sea of memories, causing her memory to be wrong and missing.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Calming down his chest, which had become undulating because of the memory of that past, Mo Ye looked at the young man walking beside him who had slowed down for some reason, and said solemnly: "I remember you, but I still don't know who you are, so I came late to ask Your Excellency for your name." ”

The young man seemed to be distracted, and after his eyes were in a trance for a moment, he replied: "Did the fifth child tell you that people like us have names and titles that are not passed on. ”

Seeing that this young man was selling off Guan Zi at this time, Mo Ye also did not answer and asked: "Take the liberty to ask for advice." What's the difference between people like you and people like me? ”

The young man was stunned, and then immediately laughed twice with "hehe", and said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to say it." We are separated today, and we may not be able to meet again in the future. ”

Habitually stretched out a finger and scraped his eyebrow bone, and the young man continued: "My surname is Cheng, because I was born in Xu, and people who know me well call me Cheng Xu." ”

Mo Ye immediately waved his hands and exclaimed, "Uncle Cheng." ”

I heard her call it. Cheng Xu's eyes were slightly embarrassed, and he didn't receive it naturally. This is because. His life in the group has always been mostly intense, and sometimes he and his teammates are called each other by code names. Therefore, in the face of this kind of honorific title of generational difference, he will be like Wu Shu when he was called 'uncle' by Mo Ye for the first time, and he can't accept it immediately.

Cheng Xu's eyes fluctuated unnaturally for a moment. immediately asked: "You also call the fifth child like this?" ”

"Hmm." Mo Ye nodded.

"Oh..." Cheng Xu also nodded, his eyes floating, revealing a look of 'I see'. After that, there were no more words.

After silently following Cheng Xu for a while, Mo Ye suddenly spoke: "About me, I shouldn't have to introduce it to you, right?" ”

Cheng Xu seemed to be a little distracted, and just responded casually when he heard this: "That's not necessary." ”

Mo Ye then asked, "I'm puzzled by a question, why can you know everything about me without me knowing?" Or rather. Who gave you this power to investigate everything about me? ”

"Huh?" Cheng Xu seemed to have just withdrawn his attention from an unclear mess of trouble. For Mo Ye asked. He didn't answer immediately, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Mo Ye's eyes were calm, looking at Cheng Xu, and he didn't repeat the question he had just asked. No other words were spoken.

After being silent for a moment, Cheng Xu smiled silently. Although he opened his mouth, he was not directly answering the question. He just said slowly: "You don't need to know too much about this. Maybe you will have many opportunities to learn about this in the future, but it is by no means up to me to explain it to you today. ”

Mo Ye's eyes showed a look of confusion. She was about to ask again, but she heard Cheng Xu take a step ahead of her and said again: "It's like today's book theft, you know that he is helping you, but in our opinion, no matter what the reason for him is doing this, his behavior is disobedient to his superiors." ”

Mo Ye had already spoken and was about to say it, but when she listened to Cheng Xu's words, she sank down again.

"If you're asking because you're worried that someone will be working against you, I think you can rest assured. I don't know what I need to give to convince you that I'm right, but aren't you alive and well now? After a pause, Cheng Xu sighed and said, "Cherish what the fifth child helped you get, so that it may benefit you for a lifetime." ”

"You know..."Mo Ye was stunned, "You're not going to take it back, are you?" ”

"I don't want this hot potato." Cheng Xu squeezed his eyebrows at Mo Ye, and said, "If I want to take it, will I wait until you finish saying this before you do it?" ”

Mo Ye smiled embarrassedly, lowered her eyes and thought about it, and then she asked again: "Actually, I don't know what this is and how to practice." ”

Cheng Xu didn't answer Mo Ye's question, he pondered for a while, and then asked Mo Ye: "The fifth brother mentioned to me once that he sent you medicine, count the days, tonight and tomorrow should be the deadline, right?" ”

Mo Ye also calculated it in her heart when she heard this, she always carried the medicine book left by Liao Shi, and she would read it every day, and she could remember the date of taking the medicine more clearly.

Nodding in response to Cheng Xu's question, Mo Ye looked at Cheng Xu, and doubts gradually appeared in his eyes.

Cheng Xu sighed and said with a smile: "That being the case, although his theft of books was eventually leaked, if there is no big turmoil, it is likely that the last two trips of this errand will be left by him." ”

"You mean, I can ask him?" Mo Ye had a happy look on her face, but this joy quickly dimmed again, and she sighed and said, "But it's only been two days... No, it's only two nights, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to master. ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Cheng Xu shook his head disapprovingly, and then analyzed it for her: "Even if the fifth child doesn't leak today, he can only guide you for two nights." What he stole this time was not ordinary, I don't think he didn't think about it, so don't worry too much. ”

Mo Ye thought about it, and put aside one thing in her heart for the time being, but she was curious about another thing because of Cheng Xu's words. In fact, this matter had already hung up in her heart, but it was only at this time that she couldn't help but say: "Whose thing is Uncle Wu taking?" ”

Cheng Xu stretched out his hand and patted the top of his head gently, and said, "Lord Commander." ”

……

Wu Shu stole the book and went directly to the boss's study, and the Lord Commander has been busy with official business in recent days, and often rests directly in the study overnight, so although Wu Shu estimated the time of the Lord Commander's work and rest, he still happened to meet the Lord Commander when he went back to return the book.

The name of the Martial God was not a joke, although Wu Shu was so good at leaping kung fu, when he was about to leave the Commander's Mansion in mid-air, he was still cut off by Li Gai, who climbed to the top of the eaves, with one palm.

After answering the initial four words, Cheng Xu briefly mentioned a few words about Wu Shu's theft of books, Mo Ye was shocked when she heard it, although Cheng Xu did not continue to say it soon, and she did not ask another question about this matter.

It didn't take long for Cheng Xu to send Mo Ye back to Ye Mansion, and at this time, the sky was also lit up with morning dawn.

Standing at the gate of Ye Zhengming's mansion, Cheng Xu still did not take the move of directly climbing over the wall to take Mo Ye in, but reached out and pulled the door knocker and shouted loudly: "Old Ye-"

Mo Ye's body trembled at his shout, she hurriedly pulled the hem of Cheng Xu's clothes, and reminded with surprise in her eyes: "Don't shout... I smuggled out! ”

"But I can't sneak in with you." Cheng Xu glanced back at Mo Ye, and said helplessly: "The three masters in the house haven't left yet, I don't want to be beaten early in the morning." ”

After that, he turned around, buckled the knocker and continued to shout: "Old Ye-"

Mo Ye was anxious, but she also knew that Cheng Xu was right. The emperor dictated that Ye Zhengming thought about it behind closed doors at home, and for this reason, he also asked three masters to 'accompany' him home, and Mo Ye also heard Ye Nuonuo mention this once. But despite this reason, it is inappropriate for Cheng Xu to shout like this.

As soon as his mind moved, Mo Ye suddenly raised his voice and laughed, and then said, "Uncle Cheng, don't you think that you are a little like you are shouting 'master'?" ”

Cheng Xu's face froze when he heard this, but he soon had a new method, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door, open the door......"

Mo Ye frowned, and subconsciously flashed to the side, since he couldn't stop Cheng Xu from entering from the main gate, the people of the Ye family would definitely be shouted at by him, which made Mo Ye think of another question, I don't know what kind of expression the people of the Ye family will have when they see her standing outside the gate later?

Soon after Cheng Xu changed his words and shouted "open the door", the gate of Yefu opened, but no doorman came out to greet him, but a broom flew out of the door first.

Sensei said that there was only a broom, even if there were more than a dozen kitchen knives that suddenly flew out of the gate, it shouldn't be able to hurt Cheng Xu, who was from the same origin as Wu Shu, right? ――
