A few days later, under the leadership of Bian Che, the group had reached the left side of the Zhuangze River, but when the desert weather changed abruptly, the originally good clear sky was blowing, and a sandstorm blew all of a sudden. The group had to take refuge in a nearby cave for the time being. At night, when the sandstorm had passed, Bian Che suggested settling in the cave before setting off in the morning.

As soon as the desert entered the night, it was extremely cold, everyone was resting by the fire, and Ye Jiu was guarding the entrance of the cave in case there were wolves or enemies at night.

Late at night, everyone fell asleep. Fu Xin whispered in a low voice from the quiet cave: "Pavilion Master, are you sick?" Fu Xin looked at Jiang Qihan with a pale face worriedly.

Jiang Qihan rarely sweated, and on such a cold day, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He closed his eyes tightly, put his hands on his knees, his fingers clutched his clothes tightly, his already pale fingers exposed his white bones under his force, he weakly raised his hand to stop Fu Xin from fighting for him, and shook his head wordlessly. If he exposed his illness at this time, he would be in more danger, how could he expose his weakness under Bian Che's nose.

"But......" Fu Xin was worried that Jiang Qihan's body would not be able to hold on.

Jiang Qihan frowned and reluctantly stood up, trying his best to keep his pace steady and walk towards the entrance of the cave. Fu Xin hurriedly followed.

Ye Jiu, who was sitting not far from the entrance of the cave, opened his eyes and watched them go out coldly, but he didn't stop them. But after a while, Qi Niang, who woke up in the middle of the night, found that Jiang Qihan and Fu Xin were no longer in the cave, and she felt strange, so she got up and walked towards Ye Jiu.

"Ye Jiu, where has the Jiang Pavilion Master gone?"

Ye Jiu looked outside the cave where the cold wind was blowing, and said, "They went out." ”

It's so late, it's still so cold outside, what is Jiang Qihan going out for? Qi Niang couldn't rest assured, so she said to Ye Jiu: "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Ye Jiuer didn't say a word, put on the cloak for Qi Niang, and whispered: "It's cold outside, be careful." Then stopped what Qi Niang was about to say, "I'm not cold, don't worry." ”

Qi Niang looked at him, smiled at him gratefully, and strode out of the cave. If Jiang Qihan and Fu Xin couldn't go far, it should be very easy to find someone in the desert, but Qi Niang didn't see those two people as far as she could see.

There was only a vast desert and low sand dunes around, and Qi Niang walked behind a small hill far away from the cave before she found Fu Xin, who was giving Jiang Qi a cold crossing. She was shocked, and hurriedly ran over, only to see Jiang Qihan's face as white as paper, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly entangled. "Fu Xin, what's wrong with Pavilion Master Jiang? Hurt? ”

Fu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand, Jiang Qihan fell to the side with a painful face, Qi Niang hurriedly supported his body, and as soon as he touched him, he felt that he was terrifyingly hot. Could it be a fever? But looking at his appearance, it's not as simple as just having a fever.

Fu Xin said gloomily: "The pavilion master has made an old mistake, every time I have an attack, I have to infuse my true qi to him in order to suppress the condition." ”

"Since your pavilion master is not in good health, why did you let him come here? Could it be that this group of people can't leave without a doctor? Qi Niang's anxious tone couldn't help but carry some reproach.

Fu Xin also said in a deep voice, "Little Seventh Girl, the pavilion master is here because of you." ”

Qi Niang was stunned, "What? ”

Fu Xin looked at Jiang Qihan, who was struggling in pain with his eyes closed, although he knew that Jiang Qihan must not want him to tell Qi Niang this, but he finally couldn't help but say: "Since the little seventh girl left, the pavilion master has been thinking about the girl, and this time he didn't worry about the girl so he came with him." ”

Qi Niang was speechless for a while, and only asked after a while: "Your pavilion master, what kind of illness do you have?" ”

Seeing that Fu Xin was silent, Qi Niang said again: "The pavilion master is my savior, I won't tell anyone." ”

"Actually, I don't know very well, but since I entered the Hanjiang Pavilion, I know that the pavilion master has a strange illness. I once saw him sitting in the snow shivering in the snow in the middle of winter, wearing only a single coat, and I thought he was cold, but he said it was very hot. I checked the pulse of the pavilion master, but his body is extremely cold, and there should be such a hot state. I asked the deputy cabinet master, but the deputy cabinet master didn't say anything. Later, I searched all the medical books, but there were no related diseases. One day, the pavilion master found out that I was studying his disease, so he smiled and told me that he was an incurable disease, brought from the mother's womb, and there was no cure, so he could only take medicine to suppress it when he was sick, but it was only slightly relieved. Later, I once stumbled upon that my internal strength could help the Pavilion Master control his condition, and every time he was given True Qi, the Pavilion Master's illness would be alleviated, which was better than taking medicine, so I stayed with the Pavilion Master. Fu Xin finished speaking patiently, and then looked at Qi Niang without saying anything, as if he was still hiding something.

"Does Pavilion Master Jiang often get ill?" Qi Niang frowned and looked at Jiang Qihan who was leaning on her arms.

Fu Xin still hesitated for a while, and then had to say: "In fact, in the past few years, it has been rare to see the pavilion master get sick so frequently, but since he introduced the girl to Gu, the pavilion master's body is not as good as before, at least three times a month, each time it is very painful, and even no matter how much true qi is injected, it can't suppress the pavilion master's condition well." ”

Qi Niang couldn't help but look at Fu Xin with her mouth wide open, and heavy guilt and self-blame rose between her eyebrows.

"It's me who owes it to the Jiang Pavilion Master...... Fu Xin, what internal strength did you use to treat Master Jiang Ge? I'd like to see if I can help. ”

"What I practice is the internal skill of promoting snow, which is cold and cold."

"Yin Han ......" Qi Niang thought for a moment and asked, "Is Yin Han Internal Strength really effective against the illness of the Jiang Pavilion Master?" Will it cause any damage to the body? ”

Fu Xin said: "At first, I was also worried, but the pavilion master said that it was okay, and I haven't seen any problems for so many years." ”

"Since that's the case, then let me try, the internal strength I practice is also Yin Han, and I'm a woman, so the effect should be better." As she spoke, Qi Niang put her palm behind Jiang Qihan and injected her true qi into him. She completely unleashed the Red Lotus Secret Technique, and in this way, she could no longer suppress that internal force.

Jiang Qihan gradually woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Qi Niang's worried eyes.

"Mingming?" Jiang Qihan showed a look of confusion, and then looked at Fu Xin on the side, as if asking him why Qi Niang was here.

"Master Jiang Ge, I found that you were not in the cave and came out to look for you."

Jiang Qihan looked down at the ground in a daze, as if thinking about something, and then said to Fu Xin: "Fu Xin, it's so cold outside, why don't you call Meng Meng back?" ”

"I ......" Fu Xin was thinking about how to explain, and Qi Niang said: "I insisted on staying." ”

Jiang Qihan looked at her in a daze, and then said to Fu Xin: "Fu Xin, you are guarding by the side, don't let people come over, I have something to say to Meng Meng." ”

"Yes."

After Fu Xin walked away, Jiang Qihan sighed and said faintly: "Mingming, you shouldn't come out, you should have seen my appearance." ”

Qi Niang lowered her eyes, and her clear eyes flashed with sadness, "Pavilion Master Jiang, why do you even want to damage your body to lead Gu for me, just now I learned about your body...... My life is not worth the sacrifice of the Jiang Pavilion Lord. ”

"It's worth it for me, and it's very important to me. Alas, Fu Xin shouldn't have told you this, he is not usually a man of many words. I'm sorry for the annoyance. Jiang Qihan said with a guilty face.

Qi Niang's heart is sad, shouldn't she be guilty? Jiang Qihan has paid so much for himself, why is he still pretending to have nothing? "Fu Xin is also worried about the Jiang Pavilion Master, I asked him before he said it. And I should apologize to the Pavilion Master, it was because of me that I made the Pavilion Master's illness worse, how can I make up for it? ”

Jiang Qihan patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said with a smile: "If I say it, I know that you will definitely not agree to me, so don't think about how to make up for me." I didn't save you for that. But you are really angry with me? Where do you feel the discomfort? As he spoke, he shook Qi Niang's hand and gave her pulse. Ever since she found out that her pulse was abnormal in the Alliance Leader Villa, Jiang Qihan had always kept it in his heart and it was difficult to let go.

Qi Niang shook her head sourly and said, "I'm fine, Pavilion Master Jiang doesn't have to care about me, shouldn't your body pay more attention?" ”

"My illness is a foregone conclusion, I can't change anything, but I have to take care of myself." Jiang Qihan suddenly smiled, "Regarding my illness, can Meng Meng help me keep it a secret." ”

"I won't tell anyone, Pavilion Master Jiang, please rest assured."

Jiang Qihan let go of her hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "My body is much better, let's go back to the cave, Meng Ming's hands are too cold, don't let me catch a cold." In order to prevent your suspicious landlord from suspecting, you will go back first, and I will come back later. ”

"Is Pavilion Master Jiang really okay?" Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan's bloodless face worriedly, half-convinced.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Qihan smiled and stared at the ground thoughtfully.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." With that, Qi Niang turned around and left.

"Mingming." Jiang Qihan suddenly stopped her, Qi Niang turned back suspiciously, but saw a faint and unspeakable sentimentality on Jiang Qihan's face, he asked tentatively: "Compared to me, who is weak and sick, Meng Meng prefers to rely on Bian Che, who has peerless martial arts, right?" ”

Qi Niang looked at him, her eyes were still as firm as ever, and her words were sincere, "I have never felt that the Jiang Pavilion Lord is a weak person, the disease is not what we want, and many things are beyond the reach of manpower, the Jiang Pavilion Lord is a very powerful person in my mind, regardless of the strength of martial arts." ”

The desert wind blew the corners of Jiang Qihan's clothes, and the cold wind blew people's cheeks painfully, but the smile on Jiang Qihan's face was extremely soft, like a wisp of clear spring in the desert. Qi Niang likes to see Jiang Qi's cold and warm smile, just like she likes his unreserved care for herself, as if no matter how cold it is, as long as she sees him smiling, her heart will be extremely warm.

Qi Niang returned to the cave, returned the cloak to Ye Jiu, and saw that Bian Che had woken up, he leaned against the stone wall, very unhappy, since Qi Niang left the cave, he woke up, and waited until now. Qi Niang couldn't help but go to a private meeting with Jiang Qihan?

Qi Niang sat down three feet away from Bian Che, Bian Che closed his eyes, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said, "You went out for half an hour." ”

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, and before I knew it, I was far away."

Bian Che seemed to laugh, not debunking her clumsy lie, but his heart was full of annoyance.
