I didn't expect Ji Sarong to want to go with me, and I didn't have any hostility for a while, so I nodded in a daze.

Ji Sarong didn't look at me squarely, his long satin hair was raised, and he was discharged from the hospital and went down the mountain without looking back.

When Bai Xiaohan saw her leaving, he put on that annoying smile again, and walked towards me with a spring breeze on his face. Naturally, I didn't want to say much to him, so I turned around with a straight face, and pulled Duan Ming to the side.

"Since the two of you still have something to say, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for an outsider to stay." When Bai Xiaohan saw me like this, his voice was inevitably a little stiff and angry, "The coming day will be long, and the juniors will retire." ”

I still held Duan Ming's back to Bai Xiaohan, but I didn't hear his footsteps leaving for a long time. I was disgusted, but I couldn't bear to doubt, so I turned my head and glanced at it. But he saw that the position where Bai Xiaohan was standing behind him was already empty, and only a cloudy white mist remained, which was slowly dispersed by the night wind.

"This ......" Duan Ming stared at the dissipating mist, his mouth half-open in disbelief. What a powerful escape. ”

"—leave him alone."

After confirming that there was no one else in the courtyard, I took Duan Ming's hand, took off the stone python bone around my waist and put it into his palm, "If what the sect leader said is true, you will definitely be in danger if you go to the Southern Desert." Holding this, it is more or less a guarantee. ”

"How can this work? This is the symbol of your Gangfeng Banner Lord, and in times of crisis, you can also summon the dead soldiers in the banner, I can't let you get into danger-"

"—what danger can I have." I pushed away Duan Ming's outstretched hand again, "I have Ji Sarong with me when I go back to Kazhou this time." Although she has been with me for a long time, this time the sect leader ordered me to join forces, but she also had to protect me. With her, no one can hurt me. ”

"Having said that, I don't have a return date for this trip, and the waves in Kashu City are surging, how that-"

"-well, when did you become so trivial." I said impatiently, "Don't forget, we're all in one and the same. I have Ji Sarong's Flying Rock Banner to protect you, but you are alone. The waves of Kazhou are surging, and the southern desert is not a place of right and wrong? If you don't have a stone python by your side, won't you put the lives of both of us in danger? ”

Hearing me say this, Duan Ming had no excuse to excuse himself.

As we descended the mountain, he told me endlessly. Although I was impatient, I also knew that he was kind, so I had to listen patiently.

"I must be careful in my absence, I will let You Yong go back with you, and send me a message if there is something."

……

"Do you remember the way back to Karshu? There is a lot of snow in the moon, go down the mountain and go to the market to buy a thick coat again......"

……

"I always feel like... That Ji Sarong can do everything, you have to be careful along the way! ”

……

"After you go back, be careful of Prince Huan's Mansion, don't rush to get the sword, so I can wait for me to go back and make plans."

"That's right! Duan Ming, I forgot to tell you, the silver needles that Bai Xiaohan hid in his sleeve and sword spike, I have seen those silver needles, they are in the palace of Prince Huan——"

"-It's counted, why are you so slow!"

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he bumped into Ji Sarong who was riding a big horse.

She still seemed to be angry, and her speech was as sharp and shrill as when she was still in the Taopinlou. When I saw her coming, I hurriedly silenced her. Duan Ming didn't hear my words, and wanted to admonish, but he couldn't stand Ji Sarong who had already brought our mounts, and urged us to get on the horse and hurry away, so he had to stop talking and handed me a reluctant look.

Seeing Duan Ming's expression, I forgot to tell me in detail about the harm caused by Bai Xiaohan's silver needle for a while, and I also felt a little sorry for parting in my heart. Thinking of the next few days, with the tricky and eccentric Ji Sarong by his side, he became more and more aggrieved in his heart, and there was a thin layer of tears in his eyes.

"It's really fake... Are you two three years old? The corners of Ji Sarong's mouth almost reached the base of his ear. If you really want to see you sooner, let's get on the road soon! ”

Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Duan Ming had no choice but to sigh and whip up and run towards a dark distance.

It wasn't until I watched his figure disappear into the vast wind and snow that I pulled the reins in despair, turned around, and followed Ji Sarong to the east of the early dawn.

。

The trip back to Beijing with Ji Sarong was not as embarrassing as imagined. Even, there are some unexpected warmth.

Although at first, there may have been some embarrassment.

On the day he was separated from Duan Ming, Ji Sarong kept his face cold all the way without saying a word.

I really don't know how to talk - after all, the last time we met, it was when I found out that she had poisoned Wanqiu in Taopinlou, and I poured it myself in a hurry.

Now that she thinks about it, she taught the Feiyan Banner Master in a dignified manner, and it couldn't be easier to kill a sick and weak woman. As for why he depreciated his value and pretended to be a maid in Taopinlou; Why did he borrow someone's hand to poison Wanqiu; I don't know why he pretended to panic and panic when I broke it.

I'm curious about the answers to these questions. However, this way Ji Sarong ran desperately without looking back, and it was not easy for me to barely keep up with the back, let alone ask.

Whipping for a hundred miles, until she crossed the official road and a small town appeared in front of her, she suddenly grabbed the reins, looked up at the gray sky, turned around and dismounted lightly.

"It's evening, let's have something to eat, rest for a quarter of an hour, and then hurry - you... What happened to you? ”

"Uh... No, it's fine......"

I shivered and took off my gloves, scrambling to cover my stiff, swollen, frozen lips. When my fingertips touched my cold cheeks, I could imagine that my face must have frozen like a monkey's butt at this moment.

"You—" Ji Sarong frowned and stared at the shiny snot under my nose, "Are you really okay?" ”

“… I," I was so embarrassed that I couldn't think of an answer for a long time, and blurted out, "I want to go to the latrine, where is the latrine!" ”

"Huh? The inn ......."

I didn't care about Ji Sarong's complicated eyes staring at my face, covered my face and trotted towards the inn dozens of steps ahead.

It was probably enough time for me to burn incense before I collapsed and moved out of the hut. Walking to the lobby of the inn, he saw that Ji Sarong had already found a table and chair to sit down, although there was only one meat and one vegetable, one soup and one meal on the table, but it was filled with attractive heat, and it made people hungry at a glance.

I struggled to walk over and sit down across from her, and a shopkeeper came running behind me, respectfully placing a wooden sign on our table.

"As you ordered, two heavenly rooms." Xiao Er took a piece of broken silver handed to him by Ji Sarong, and smiled more and more cutely. "—Thank you, officer! The horse has been taken to the backyard to take care of it, and it is definitely the best forage! ”

"Let's go down." Ji Sarong nodded and sent Xiao Er away, and then stared at my grinning face with a strange gaze again, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Ah, it's okay, legs..."

"Huh?"

"Legs, legs are numb! After squatting for a long time...... "I just hate that I can't faint on the spot," that, did you book a room? Aren't we going on our way? ”

"Knowingly asked." Ji Sarong blinked, his furrowed eyebrows raised slightly, "It's better to rest for one night before leaving." ”

"Oh..."

"-Oops!" Seeing that I was about to start picking up the rice bowl, she hurriedly pressed my hand again, and looked at me with round eyes, "Drink ginger soup first." ”

As a result, my face became more and more swollen. The two of them drank the ginger soup without saying a word, and began to eat without saying a word. After the meal, they went upstairs without saying a word and went back to their rooms to rest. When I returned to the room, I was greeted by a strong aroma of herbs.

A junior wiped his hands and walked out from the end of the screen, bowed and smiled when he saw me: "The guest officer is back, your friend instructed the villain to prepare a wormwood bath for you to ward off the cold and sleep peacefully." Let's move to the back room! ”

My heart warmed, I never imagined that Ji Sarong would take such good care of me. After soaking in the bath and lying on the somewhat cold and hard bed, three or two small servants came in, quickly moved the bathtub and replaced it with a charcoal basin, and put a large piece of jet-black leather in front of my bed.

"Forgive me, the guest officer, the Yanchi place is small, and it is snowing in the wax moon, and the villain runs all over the market and does not see any good leather. Seeing that the South Street Orion family got this whole piece of black bear skin, they had to send it to you. ”

"Who told you to send this to me?"

"Yours friend!" Xiao Er scratched his head and smiled, "That girl said that you were cold, and gave the villain a full ingot of gold, and asked the villain to go out and find some leather for you to keep out the cold." ”

"Yes......" I couldn't help but wonder when I was moved, and I didn't know what to say for a while. Zhiwu asked after a while, "You just said, where is this?" ”

"Salt Pond."

"Salt pool," I muttered, "well, thank you, go down." ”

I have been in bed for a long time, and I don't remember that I passed by a place called Yanchi when I came to Duan Ming.

However, I didn't want to think about it - the most puzzling thing was Ji Sarong's sudden change of favor towards me. When she was in Taopinlou, she was clearly such a tricky and domineering person. Suddenly, such meticulous intimacy became intimate, and I really didn't dare to accept it.

Thinking so headlessly, my mind was drowsy, and I was so tired that I fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes again, I felt that my whole body was sore and heavy, and the cold sweat penetrated through my clothes, sticky and a little uncomfortable.

Somehow, the face of the Hou Ye suddenly appeared in his mind.

I opened my eyes with difficulty, but my vision had not yet recovered, and I could only see a chaotic dusk.

"Are you awake?"

A yellow-clad figure swept in front of me. I struggled to turn my head, to get a better look at her face. Seeing that I was struggling, she gently put one hand on my shoulder and covered my forehead with a handkerchief soaked in cold water with the other.

It's Ji Sarong.
