Chapter 18 Neither humble nor arrogant
"The clothes want to wet the apricot blossom rain, and the wind blows the willow wind."
Thousands of branches are spitting green, spring is strong, warblers singing and butterflies dancing, just like a piece of floating clouds rendered by the morning sun, gorgeous and colorful, hanging softly in the air.
At this time, Liyue was sitting on the edge of the carriage, leaning lazily on the side of the carriage, she looked at the sky, looking at the soft clouds on the horizon that were rendered orange by the morning sun, the warm spring breeze swept by Liyue, and the green silk was brought up by the wind, so comfortable.
Su Mu sat next to Liyue, holding the reins, looking at Liyue from time to time, a refreshing feeling slipped in his heart, after these days of getting along, Su Mu already roughly knew Liyue's personality, and the two also formed a harmonious meaning in the process of getting along, Su Mu is now more than curious.
"What are you thinking?" Liyue leaned on the carriage and tilted her head and asked.
Su Mu came back to his senses, smiled at Liyue, and replied in his round and jade voice, "I'm thinking about this lovely girl next to me......"
Hearing this, Liyue hurriedly sat up, and happened to meet Su Mu's clear eyes, a sea of stars under his eyes, and said in a slightly cold and arrogant tone: "Oh? What do you think of this girl next to you? ”
Su Mu glanced at Liyue with a toistic look, and his thin lips opened lightly: "This lovely girl next to me ......"
Before Su Mu finished speaking, Su Mu's left hand let go of the reins, put his arms around Liyue, and encircled her into her arms, at this time, Liyue only felt that her brain was blank, she didn't react at all, let Su Mu stop herself, and her head fell steadily on Su Mu's warm shoulders.
Liyue could clearly hear the sound of a violent heartbeat in Su Mu's chest, a faint flush stained her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
Su Mu held the reins in one hand and Liyue in the other, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "I'm afraid that the girl in my arms is too tired from leaning on the carriage all the time. ”
Liyue didn't answer, but buried her face deep in Su Mu's chest, for fear that Su Mu would lower her eyebrows and catch a glimpse of her red face.
The wind carried white catkins fluttering in the clear air, with a little damp smell, blowing on the face, docile and docile, but this soft breeze did not take away the blush on Liyue's face, Liyue just quietly leaned on Su Mu's shoulder, very comfortable, this is more comfortable than leaning on the carriage, and after a while Liyue fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Su Mu's shoulders were a little numb, but he couldn't bear to wake up this lovely person in his sleep, so he just tightened his hand around Liyue.
Suddenly, a heavy male voice came from the carriage: "Su Mu, where are you?" ”
Su Mu responded in a very gentle tone: "On the periphery of Runan City, you can enter the city at noon." ”
The Soul World Continent is divided into five major countries, the North is the North Underworld Kingdom, the South is the Southern Shadow Kingdom, the West Yu Country is the West Feather Country, the East is the East Spirit Kingdom, the Middle Lan Country is the Middle Lan Country, the five major countries each have five major sects, these five major sects are very capable sects, each sect is distributed in the five major countries, the East Spirit State has the Huayang Sect, the Southern Shadow State has the Xuanqing Sect, the West Yu State has the Silk Flower Sect, the North Underworld has the Youyou Sect, and the Zhonglan State has the Ink Sect, and they contain each other's forces to balance the continent.
At this time, the three of Liyue were on the periphery of Runan City, the capital of the Southern Shadow Kingdom, and they could enter the city in about three hours, and the Lingmian Forest was at the junction of the Southern Shadow Kingdom and the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, so the three of them came to the middle from the northeast corner of the Southern Shadow Kingdom, and now it was April, and the journey of the three of Liyue took two months, and the speed was still slow, if it wasn't for the injury of the keel, Su Mu couldn't wait to rush overnight and arrive as soon as possible, after all, the three of them would be in danger for one more day when they were outside.
The keel can be seen clearly in the car, Liyue is lying in Su Mu's arms at this time, she is in a hurry during the day, Liyue's cultivation time has become less, and she has replaced sleep with cultivation at night, which has been the case for more than two months.
The dragon bone has already felt that Su Mu's young man is good, and he is also resolute, plus the holy spirit is illusory, even the shadow master has to respect and control the divine master for three points, if Liyue meets them in the future, as long as Su Mu is by her side, the two of them can basically retreat with their whole body, if they can fall in love for a long time, it is good in public and private.
The dragon bone did not speak again, but closed his eyes again and sat quietly in the carriage.
After about five hours, Su Mu could already vaguely see the gate of Runan City, he patted Liyue's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "It's almost there." ”
Liyue's eyelashes fluttered suddenly, her lowered eyes slowly opened, and the owner of these eyes gently raised her left hand, rubbed a piece of clear eyes, and said softly with thin lips: "Su Mu, how long have I been asleep?" ”
I thought about it for a while, but I don't know if Su Mu's shoulders were too comfortable, or if he was too tired from practicing last night, this sleep was very comfortable.
Su Mu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the lovely child in his arms, and said in a very gentle voice: "About five hours." ”
Liyue said with a slightly surprised tone, "Ah, so long. With that, he left Su Mu's arms with one hand on the edge of the car, at this time Su Mu's left shoulder and left arm were already sore, and he slowly moved his arm to alleviate the soreness.
Liyue noticed Su Mu's small movements, she supported the edge of the car with both hands, sat backwards, put her legs on the car, stacked her left leg on top of her right leg, placed her legs diagonally to the right, aligned her knees up and down, and sat diagonally facing Su Mu's back, she raised her hand slightly, landed her hand firmly on Su Mu's left shoulder, and rubbed it gently.
Seeing this, Su Mu stopped the movement of his arm and let Liyue massage it.
After a while, Su Mu pulled the reins, the speed of the horse slowed down significantly, Liyue felt the change in the speed of the car, and raised her eyes slightly to see the gate of Runan City, Feige Liudan, magnificent, the eaves and corners are flying, the hook and the corners, extending to the edge of the sky, the tiles are green, glowing and charming, like a dangerous building, so not magnificent.
Liyue has lived in the Lingmian Forest since she was a child, this is the first time she has come out, the world is full of strange things, Liyue has also seen a lot along the way, and she maintains a curiosity about everything.
Su Mu glanced at the appearance of Liyue beside him with some doting, Liyue's eyes were full of light at this time, and her hands were unconsciously clasped together on her chest, with an expectant look, which was very cute.
"This is Runan City?" Liyue asked in a very excited tone.
"Yes, we need to be checked before we enter the city." Sumu judo.
"Check?" Li Yue looked at Su Mu with a puzzled expression, and then continued cheerfully: "Are you afraid that traitors will enter the city?" ”
"Yue'er is so smart." Su Mu smiled.
I don't know when, Su Mu's title to Liyue changed from Miss Ning to Yue'er, although it is intimate, but it is not rude, Su Mu is one year older than Liyue, but it is very similar to the title of a brother to his sister.
Seeing that the city gate was approaching, the keel in the car said, "Yue'er come in and sit." ”
Liyue responded obediently: "Yes." ”
After saying that, Liyue withdrew her hand, patted Su Mu's shoulder gently, stood up on the edge of the car, walked into the carriage, and after Liyue sat down, she asked, "Why did Master ......?"
The dragon bone opened his eyes slightly, and happened to meet Liyue's clear eyes: "Yue'er sit down, we will enter the city in a while." ”
The dragon bone didn't answer Liyue's question, and then closed his eyes again, Liyue was very well-behaved, nodded lightly and closed his eyes to recuperate, and stopped talking.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded from outside the car: "Please show your pass." ”
Liyue lifted the curtain slightly, looked at it, and saw that the city gate was guarded by eleven soldiers, and one of the general-like men said
Su Mu didn't say much, so he took out a document from his arms, put his hands on it, and the general also took it with both hands, opened it and took a look.
I saw a trace of surprise flashing on the general's face, but he quickly regained his composure, lowered his head, held the document in both hands and handed it to Su Mu, and said respectfully: "Childe can go in." ”
Liyue was shocked by the general's respectful attitude, it seems that this Su Mu is also a great character in the Southern Shadow Kingdom.
Su Mu still took the document with both hands and said, "Thank you." Then he drove in the carriage, Li Yue wanted to ask why this soldier's attitude was so respectful, but then he thought that Su Mu was the young sect master of the Youyou Sect, and he basically understood why this was so, although Li Yue did not understand the world very well, but some truths still understood.
Before Liyue and the three of them could go far, a thick male voice sounded behind the car: "Stop!" ”
The dragon bone frowned slightly when he heard this, and let out a muffled snort between his noses, which one of them dared to stand in their way?
Su Mu stopped the carriage, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he took Liyue and the dragon bone to come to Ru Sad, it was a secret, only his father, Yan Jing and the lord of the Southern Shadow Country, knew about it, and this way was even more low-key, but it seemed that it was not possible to be low-key.
Su Mu stopped the carriage and jumped down, only to see a goose yellow gold-trimmed robe, with a belt inlaid with jade around his waist, like a piece of jade forged from flawless jade, even if he stood there, it was like a mural, the charm was unique, this man was a few years older than Su Mu, Su Mu was as warm as jade, this man was invincible in his majesty, and the two had their own charm, and there was no comparison.
Su Mu bowed slightly: "Dare to ask the son what is the matter?" ”
The man sneered, ignored Su Mu, and just said to the general in a dignified tone: "Let me go if you don't accept the inspection?" ”
The general hurriedly knelt down, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Back to the words of the second prince, this person has a document written by the lord of the country." ”
The man glanced at Su Mu contemptuously, then continued to say to the general, "What? If you have your father's handwritten imperial book, can you not check it? When did General Lee become so snobbish? ”
General Li was not frightened by the man's words, and still said without humility or arrogance: "The lower officials don't dare. ”
"Check it for me!" The man said viciously.
The soldiers around him were about to move, but General Li still knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Second prince, seeing the imperial book is like seeing the lord of the country in person." ”
"So what?" The man was furious, and waved his right hand to the ground, only to hear a "boom", and a large hole appeared in the ground in an instant.
"Search for me, what's wrong, I'm on top of it!" The man shouted.
From then on, the soldiers around him did not hesitate, and four soldiers stepped forward to surround the carriage, and one of them was about to search forward.
I saw Su Mu glance at the man coldly, and without saying a word, he jumped up and sat firmly on the roof of the car, which made the horse's front hooves lift back, and the carriage also fell heavily to the ground.
