"Eat more food, you won't be able to eat well in prison for the past two days." She smiled softly and gave vegetables to Chi Jingyu.

Chi Jingyu was always in deep thought, although he did not know the true identity of the assassin, it should not be far from his guess.

Feeling Bai Wushuang's care, he smiled lightly, but he was a little unpleasant when he brought the food to his mouth.

"These two days have kept you busy, and you have to eat a little more." Chi Jingyu said lightly, peeling off the fresh shrimp and sending it into Bai Wushuang's mouth.

After the calm and warm dinner, Chi Jingyu helped Bai Wushuang to the edge of the bed and sat down, holding her in his arms.

He looked at Bai Wushuang's puzzled cheeks, and said earnestly: "I thought about it just now, you better go back first, the next road is thrilling and unpredictable, I don't want you to risk it with me." ”

Bai Wushuang was slightly stunned, and asked in astonishment, "Why?" I can help you by your side, and danger will always be averted. ”

Chi Jingyu shook his head, and his pale face was filled with gloom.

Before that, there was one thing he had been hiding from Bai Wushuang, just not wanting her to worry about him.

Now I have to tell the truth, just to let her return to the capital safely.

"It's my fault in the first place." Chi Jingyu evoked a wry smile, "I can't practice after being poisoned, and the toxins will run all over my body with my breath, so I shouldn't hide this from you." ”

He sighed heavily, hoping that at this moment, Bai Wushuang would not stubbornly follow him.

Bai Wushuang suddenly realized, slightly opened his pale pink cherry lips, and looked at Chi Jingyu in disbelief, with an irrepressible worry in his heart.

She understood Chi Jingyu's intentions, her eyes flashed slightly, and she responded in an unquestionable tone: "I don't want you to worry about me all the time, in fact, I don't just want to accompany you to find Yan Gusan, but also want to study Gu poison, besides, ......"

This stubborn girl is really not so easy to convince, and Chi Jingyu is helpless, knowing that what Bai Wushuang decided will not change easily.

Before she finished speaking, Chi Jingyu interrupted her: "You will not only accompany me, but also insist on moving forward in order to study Gu poison?" ”

Bai Wushuang nodded without thinking, this statement was only part of the reason, and the person who couldn't let go of her the most was always Chi Jingyu.

"Don't persuade me anymore, it's really not good, we'll split up, but I hope we can be by your side." Bai Wushuang said softly, his sly eyes pretending to look at Chi Jingyu calmly.

Chi Jingyu felt the small hand in his palm holding him tightly, that persistent belief was indestructible, and his heart was moved.

These days, under the troubles of everything, it is rare for him to show his fragile side in front of Bai Wushuang like tonight.

"Well, it seems that in front of you stubborn ghost, I can only bow down." Chi Jingyu shook his head and sighed, his cheeks filled with coldness again.

Early the next morning, the two decided not to make any further delays and set off immediately.

There is still a mystery left in the mystery of the inn murder case, but Chi Jingyu has cleared the suspicion, he is not the real murderer behind it, and said hello to the master of the yamen, and the two said goodbye.

After leaving the town, the two rode their horses on the way to the southern frontier, and Bai Wushuang couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at the blue sky above his head.

As the saying goes, one thing descends to one thing, she always has various ways to make Chi Jingyu compromise, as if she got what she wanted at the moment.

And after the two set off, Chi Jingyu didn't stop him, but felt very happy because he had Bai Wushuang by his side.

After a long journey over mountains and mountains, and after several days of traveling, the two are finally about to step into the boundary of southern Xinjiang.

On the same day, they arrived at a small county town across a river from southern Xinjiang, and the two led their horses to the inn to rest.

Bai Wushuang looked at the folk customs on the street that were obviously different from those of the capital, and the people's clothing also had strong southern Xinjiang characteristics.

This made her feel novel, and after a short break at the inn, she took Chi Jingyu to wander around the market.

"Wood, look!"

Bai Wushuang saw the fried scorpions on bamboo sticks at the food stalls in the market, and there was an instinctive sense of fear in his surprise.

"You're so excited, you don't want to buy a bunch to try, do you?" Chi Jingyu glanced at it casually, but he didn't have a strong reaction, just a little uncomfortable because it didn't conform to his eating habits.

"No, I'm just curious if I'm going to be poisoned if I eat it, you see there's fried centipedes there!" Bai Wushuang frowned, holding Chi Jingyu's arm and clinging to him.

The journey was peaceful, and the Assassin's whereabouts had not been exposed to any trouble.

The dazzling array of fresh scenes at this moment really made Bai Wushuang's heart full of surprise and curiosity.

Seeing that Bai Wushuang subconsciously sought protection from himself, Chi Jingyu's cold face flashed with a hint of joy, and the desire to protect in his heart spontaneously arose.

He slowed down, stroked Bai Wushuang's soft hair, and said in a faint tone: "Don't care about those weird foods, I heard that the beef soup pot here is very famous, why don't we try it?" ”

Hearing Chi Jingyu's suggestion, Bai Wushuang really felt that the hungry worm in his stomach was awakened, and nodded heartily in agreement.

After resting in the small city for a day, the two of them rested and then moved forward again, in fact, Bai Wushuang had already been eager to go to the southern Xinjiang to find Yan Gusan.

With the passage of time, coupled with the hard work of traveling day and night, the poison in Chi Jingyu's body became more and more serious.

Even if he rarely took the initiative to mention this matter, Bai Wushuang still saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

Leaving the small city and traveling more than ten miles is the river that separates the two places, Bai Wushuang can't wait to set foot on the boundary of southern Xinjiang, and he sped up and ran in front of Chi Jingyu for a while.

Getting closer and closer to the river, near noon, the scorching sun hung overhead, Chi Jingyu caught a glimpse of Bai Wushuang sweating profusely, and couldn't help but persuade: "There is a small pavilion in front, let's sit down and drink some water and rest for a while before we go." ”

Bai Wushuang brushed his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, gasped and said, "Okay, but it's coming soon, I originally wanted to cross the river and rest." ”

The two sat under the kiosk, Chi Jingyu took out a water bladder and handed it to Bai Wushuang, and then took out the snacks he bought in the market.

"After all, southern Xinjiang is a foreign race, although it is separated by a river, but people's hearts are unpredictable, we have a good rest here, and we must strengthen our vigilance after crossing the river." Chi Jingyu said with a heavy face, and suddenly realized that there was a strange noise among the barren grass behind him.

Someone hiding inside? Suddenly, Chi Jingyu's heartstrings tightened.

However, before he could tell Bai Wushuang, a few conspicuously dressed southerners came out of the barren grass and surrounded them.

Facing the people of southern Xinjiang who were eyeing each other, Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang glanced at each other and decided to have a conflict with them, so it was better to try to communicate first.

Chi Jingyu glanced at each other with deep eyes, trying to greet them in simple Miao language.

However, there was no response, and several southerners were still staring at them intently, brandishing specially crafted weapons in their hands, as if trying to create a surprise attack.

"I'll try it anyway." Bai Wushuang knew a little more Miao language, and took the initiative to show the other party that he had no malicious intent.

However, the communication was not smooth, and the other party just muttered two unrecognizable Miao words, which made Bai Wushuang look dazed.

"They are from the southern border, and the accent is too strong for me to understand a word." Bai Wushuang shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and the eyes of the people in southern Xinjiang gradually became hostile, which made Chi Jingyu even more vigilant about him.

"If you can't communicate, forget it, just be careful." Chi Jingyu said with his eyebrows condensed, turning sideways to block in front of Bai Wushuang.

But at this moment, a few sharp arrows suddenly shot out of the wild grass, and Chi Jingyu saw the situation and drew his knife to slash the oncoming sharp weapon.

"Uh......" Bai Wushuang also tried to make a defense, but suddenly felt that his shoulder was shot by an arrow from behind him.

Finding that Bai Wushuang was injured, Chi Jingyu, who had always been passive, suddenly burst into anger, since these aliens couldn't treat each other politely, they couldn't blame him for killing.

"Hurting people with hidden arrows is a coward's trip, and if there is a kind, come out to fight!" Chi Jingyu scolded angrily, and the deafening roar suddenly made several southern Xinjiang people on the opposite side tremble in fright.

The strange thing is that the two of them tried to talk in Miao just now to no avail, but Chi Jingyu's words made the two ambushers in the barren grass suddenly appear.

Although the ambushers were also from southern Xinjiang, their clothing was obviously different from that of several others, and the armor and boots they wore were obviously the generals under the command of the king of southern Xinjiang.

Chi Jingyu was stunned for a second, and after identifying the identity of the other party, he vigilantly guarded Bai Wushuang, and waved the long sword in his hand and pointed at the two of them.

"We are only here to find an antidote, and I hope you can treat each other with courtesy!"

As soon as the words fell, two armor-clad southern Xinjiang people ordered several other tribesmen in Miao language: "Take them down for me!" ”

Bai Wushuang was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately, it was not serious to hurt the flesh and skin, she covered her shoulder that was red with blood, and her nerves tensed immediately after understanding this sentence.

"Be careful!" She didn't even have time to translate to Chi Jingyu, only to see a few people from southern Xinjiang in coarse linen rushing over waving the weapons in their hands.

The two sides immediately scuffled together, and the injured Bai Wushuang could only help Chi Jingyu resist from time to time.

I didn't want the people in southern Xinjiang to be ruthless, and I wanted to kill the intruder with one blow in every move, Chi Jingyu dodged an attack from the other party, and finally could only fight back and kill one of them to the ground.

The long sword hit the heart, and the blood-flowing southern Xinjiang people fell to the ground and died with two gurgles in their throats, which was the other people who were terrified when they saw this situation, and they could only use poisonous insects as an attack in the face of resistance anyway.

Seeing the poisonous scorpion centipede crawling on the ground, Bai Wushuang's heart couldn't help but be frightened, and after killing a few, he suddenly felt his feet getting softer and softer.

"Wood, the arrows seem to be poisonous, I suddenly feel dizzy......" Bai Wushuang's voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog and blurred.

At this time, two people from southern Xinjiang wearing armor also took advantage of the situation to rush up, and Chi Jingyu was about to fight back, only to see Bai Wushuang's crumbling body slumped under his feet.

In order to protect Bai Wushuang, Chi Jingyu had to use his internal strength, and after killing two more people from southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, he didn't want to have more armor-wearing soldiers rushing out of the barren grass.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Chi Jingyu began to become powerless due to the poison spreading in his body.

He knew that even though he still had a chance to get out, the price he had to pay was not to leave Bai Wushuang who had fainted to the ground.

Faced with the current choice, he frowned coldly at the aggressive southern Xinjiang people, and suddenly abandoned the long sword in his hand and hugged Bai Wushuang tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, even if you inevitably die today, I will accompany you!"

After saying that, the people of southern Xinjiang rushed up and captured them in one fell swoop.
