Chapter Ninety-Six-Chess Meets Opponents (I)
Cang Lan looked at Chi Mudie's face was still a little pale, so she still maintained the spell of calming the nerves with one hand, and picked up some food and water beside her with the other hand and handed it to her.
Chi Mudie smiled and took the food and water handed over by Cang Lan, and touched the head of the silent sound goose with one free hand, at this time, the ice spirit tiger not far away also suddenly let out a few low whines, and looked at Chi Mudie with an aggrieved look.
Chi Mudie blinked her eyes and looked at Cang Lan, and asked curiously, "Huh, what's wrong with Ice Spirit Tiger?"
"Just now I saw that you had been asleep, and I was afraid that you would be attacked by the cold on its body, so I let it lie on the other side. Cang Lan said, and also felt that the expression of the Ice Spirit Tiger was a little funny, so she smiled and beckoned to it, "Okay, okay, don't look at me with a complaining face, as if I bullied you, you can come over now." β
When the Ice Tiger heard that Cang Lan had lifted its ban, he immediately changed his expression, and happily ran to Chi Mudie's side, Chi Mudie's face also changed at this time, and he got up with a smile and hugged its huge tiger head, rubbed his head between the cold but soft fur on its neck, patted its neck lightly with one hand, and then turned his head to look at Cang Lan with a smile.
"Cang Lan, did you name this Ice Spirit Tiger?"
Cang Lan smiled and shook her head, "No, Xiuxiu keeps calling it a big ice cube, but it doesn't seem to like the name, and every time it either barks at Xiuxiu or ignores her completely." β
Ji Mudie listened, smiled and touched the king character pattern on the ice tiger's forehead, "I didn't think you still have high requirements for the name, if it were me, I would call you Xiaoice or Bingbing, would you like this name?"
Bing Luhu listened to Chi Mudie's words, instantly froze in place, and looked at Cang Lan with a look for help, but Cang Lan smiled and agreed: "Well, I think the name Xiaoice is good, it's quite cute." β
Bingluo Tiger immediately put on a loveless expression, fell to the ground and pretended to be dead with a low whimper, and then did not move, which made Chi Mudie and Cang Lan laugh at the same time.
After the two talked and laughed for a while, they returned to the topic, Chi Mudie listened carefully for a while, and then let the silent sound goose let out a few long chirps, and after hearing the echo, he whispered excitedly to Cang Lan: "I heard the echo of the feather whistle! It's not far from the southeast, let's dive over now." β
Cang Lan frowned slightly, her concerned gaze fell on Chi Mudie, and asked in a low voice, "Is your body okay?" Why don't we rest here for one night and go back tomorrow?"
Chi Mudie shook her head excitedly, "I'm fine, the sleep just now has made me full of energy, and now I can't wait to see how capable the person who can catch my brother is." β
Cang Lan looked at her excited expression, and had no choice but to smile and shake her head, and was about to take back the Ice Spirit Tiger who was still pretending to be dead on the side into the spirit summoning stone, but when she turned her head, she saw that Chi Mudie's face had changed again, and she thought that she was unwell again, so she hurriedly squatted down to check and ask.
Chi Mudie shook her head at Cang Lan in disappointment, "My brother has already slipped out and said let's wait for him here, and he will come to us in a while." β
Cang Lan was slightly stunned, and then frowned cautiously and asked, "How did Chi Muyan know that we were here?
As soon as the words fell, before Chi Mudie could answer, Chi Muyan's familiar voice came from behind them, "Although my ears are not as good as Fluttershy's, I can hear for hundreds of miles, but I can't ...... within ten miles."
Chi Muyan paused slightly when he said this, jumped down from the snow qilin, squinted his eyes at the two people in front of him who were slightly disappointed, and continued to raise his eyebrows: "So, if you want to see how I deliberately fell into the trap next time, it's best to discuss it further away from me." β
Cang Lan looked at Chi Muyan's smug expression, and couldn't help frowning and teasing: "Oh? It turns out that our strategists were deliberately caught by the bandits, and deliberately sent a letter asking us to come back to support quickly, and then deliberately let us see how you mocked those bandits?"
Chi Muyan glanced at Cang Lan dissatisfied, walked into some of the embarrassed appearances that made them see themselves and the snow qilin covered in mud, and said angrily: "What a mockery! Am I the one who was ridiculed?" I don't know where the Dark Guild found a woman who can call the wind and rain and is proficient in strategy, it's really troublesome. β
Chi Mudie showed a puzzled expression, "Hmm, brother, didn't you mean a thief, why did you have something to do with the Dark Guild again?"
The snow unicorn, who was standing on the side and was about to become a loach, saw that they were actually chatting, let out an impatient low roar, and shook his tail covered with mud in disgust, and almost threw the black mud on the ice spirit tiger, so frightened that the ice spirit tiger immediately bounced up, and let out a dissatisfied roar at it, the snow qilin was covered in black mud, and was also angry, and reflexively roared at the ice spirit tiger.
Chi Muyan looked at the two spirit beasts that were glaring at each other, and waved his hand helplessly, "Alas, don't mention it, let's find a place to wash and then talk about it in detail, otherwise these two big ice cubes will pinch each other." β
The two big ice cubes listened to his name, and roared at him dissatisfiedly, Xue Qilin looked at Chi Muyan, who was covered in mud, walking towards it again, swinging his head and retreating and roaring at him threateningly, Chi Muyan could only shake his head and sigh, "It's useless for you to yell at me, now we are the dirtiest, how can I find a water source to wash us clean if I don't ride?"
Xue Qilin glanced down at his paws full of black mud, and let out a complaining grunt at Chi Muyan, and let him sit on his back with a disgusted expression, Chi Muyan had to sigh: "Alas! I didn't expect that I would be disgusted by my own summoned beast one day." β
So under the leadership of Chi Muyan, the three of them came to a relatively gentle waterfall in the Star Lake, as soon as Chi Muyan jumped off the back of the snow unicorn, it couldn't wait to rush to the bottom of the waterfall, rinsing the mud off its body, Chi Muyan just changed out of his dirty clothes, ready to wash in the lake water, but found that the surrounding lake water had been all muddied by the snow unicorn, and it was stepping on the shore with a relaxed face, and glanced at Chi Muyan with a disdainful look, and shook off the water droplets on his body.
"Hey, aren't I just careless, do you need to look down on me so much?" Chi Muyan saw that he was despised by the snow qilin again, and yelled at it dissatisfied, but the snow qilin still didn't want to pay attention to him, so he walked to the grass on the side and lay down on his stomach, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Chi Mudie looked amused, walked to the side of the snow unicorn, touched its washed paws, turned his head and asked, "Brother, can you tell us now how you became loaches, right?"
Chi Muyan, who was washing clothes by the lake, sighed and began to tell them what happened in the past two days.
That day, after Chi Muyan returned to Phantom Island from the Dragon's Fang, he only asked the little guy to go back to report his safety to the minister of the city, but he did not return to the main city, but changed into a common person's costume, and quietly sneaked into Fenghua Village, which had been occupied by the bandits, and sat in a tea shop, quietly listening to all kinds of news about these bandits.
"I just arrived in Fenghua Village today, and when I heard that this place had been occupied by bandits, I was shocked, thinking that the goods transported this time would definitely be robbed, but I didn't expect that those vicious-looking bandits just looked at it and let me come over. β
"I heard that their boss is a woman, and they have set strict rules not to disturb the lives of the people, and a few days ago I saw a fouler who molested the women in the village, and was pressed by a few strong men to apologize!"
"Then since these bandits are not for wealth or sex, why do they break through several of our defensive barriers?"
"Shhhhhh β
"Ah, just for the city lord? Isn't that female thief the city lord of Chi who has taken a fancy to our young talent?"
When Chi Muyan heard this, he was quite puzzled, and sorted out all the memories of the past few years, and he didn't remember where he had offended such a group of bandits, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh.
"Hehehe, no matter how handsome your Chi City Lord is, I won't be infatuated with him like an ordinary woman, not to mention that what I see now doesn't seem to be the savior hero who will appear at the first time in your mouth, but a villain who will hide and eavesdrop!"
Chi Muyan looked up and saw a woman of the same age as him walking slowly from outside the tea shop with two burly strong men, and the woman sat opposite him with a casual expression, and met his gaze with a smile.
The crowd around instantly quieted down, and all eyes were focused on these two people, but Chi Muyan did not panic and reached out to pick up a tea cup placed upside down on the table, gently put it in front of the woman, poured her a cup of hot tea, and then picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a sip before he looked up with a light smile and answered.
"If it weren't for the fact that you sent someone to find me back, how could you have known my whereabouts the first time I arrived here?
The woman sitting opposite Chi Muyan, although her appearance was average, her smart purple eyes were particularly eye-catching, I saw that her eyes drooped slightly, and she raised her eyes and said, "Oh, dare to ask the Chi City Lord how do you know, the person who is looking for you back must have been specially sent by me?"
Chi Muyan held the teacup, lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating inside, and the corners of his mouth hooked a soft arc, "Although I don't often go back to Phantom Wing City, but every household in the city, and the merchants who often pass, I will remember it clearly, I feel that this is my basic responsibility as the lord of a city, so let alone a strange little guy who suddenly appeared in my city lord's mansion." β
When Chi Muyan said this, he gently blew open the tea leaves floating in the cup, took another sip of tea, and then raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him again, "I just don't know, the thief commander who has always lived in the giant tree cave and does not violate the river water with my Phantom Wing City Well Water - Zijing Girl, suddenly the handsome soldiers broke through several defensive barriers of my Phantom Wing City, what is the meaning?"
