After Shen Ji left the rocky beach of the Mohe River, he set off for the headquarters of the Prayer Kite.

The Prayer Kite Gang is located in the dense forest in the south of Linshui Town, surrounded by mountains and vegetation, and occasionally a few hares emerge from the dense forest in panic and jump back to the soil hole hidden in the grass. The prayer kite shook the folding fan in his hand and said to the person behind him:

"Leng Ruoheng, this is not like you, for the sake of a woman, you actually came to participate in our battle. Didn't you say that the war has nothing to do with you? ”

Leng Ruoheng said coldly: "I don't want to implicate irrelevant people." After a pause, he continued, "I advise you not to follow me anymore." ”

Shen Ji raised her eyebrows, "Oh? But I'm just trying to pull you in. ”

Leng Ruoheng pulled out the saber at his waist and put it on Shen Ji's shoulder, approaching him, his face could not see the change in expression.

"If I find out, I will kill you once at a time!"

Leng Ruoheng put down his cruel words and put away his long sword, turned around and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

Shen Ji looked at Leng Ruoheng's back and smiled.

A few days ago, Shen Ji happened to see Leng Ruoheng and Fu Minglang, who liked fans, recruiting a little nurse at the door of the alliance trade union to enter the Sea Breeze Pavilion, and he actually saw a gentle look on Leng Ruoheng's face that no one else had noticed. He made up his mind to follow the little nurse, and finally got a chance to get closer.

On a rainy day, when the little nurse was in a hurry to cross the river, she swung her sword and cut off the edge of the stone where she had landed, and took the sword away while she was not paying attention. It just so happened that Luo Mingzhi asked Leng Ruoheng to talk about things in Osmanthus Building that day, so he wanted to find out Leng Ruoheng's attitude towards this little nurse in person. Sure enough, in the end, Leng Ruoheng found an excuse to take her away. He also sent a message to warn him not to approach the people of the Sea Breeze Pavilion.

Shen Ji thought back to Leng Ruoheng, who hurried to the rescue today, hooked the corners of her mouth, and smiled.

"Leng Ruoheng, you still have weaknesses." He just happened to see the little nurse enter the game and sent someone to send a message to Leng Ruoheng, and he really came.

……

Yuan Langcen rode a horse and pleaded behind Matsuma Saiko's delivery carriage, "Grandma! Am I wrong? Take me to meet your Master! ”

As if she hadn't heard, Saiko squinted her eyes as if she was asleep. Yuan Langcen dismounted and jumped into the cargo warehouse behind the carriage and shook her from behind Xizi. Xizi turned to look at Yuan Langcen, who was kneeling on the car board, his hands folded and pleading, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're smiling!" Yuan Langcen seized the opportunity, sat next to Xizi, and continued to beg for mercy.

"Good sister! Good sister! I really didn't mean it, on the battlefield, I didn't guard against Leng Ruoheng, but he wiped my neck! ”

Xizi hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed,

"I know! I'm kidding you! ”

"So you agree to take me to your master?"

"I'll take you with me after delivering this trip!"

"Yay! That's great! Yuan Langcen stood up and jumped up, almost overturned the carriage, and apologized again and again, Xizi slapped him half annoyed and half laughed.

At the end of the freight, Xizi opened the portal and took Yuan Langcen to Dongyue Taoyuan.

From a distance, I saw a green coat, and Luo Xueyou, who was fluttering in fairy spirit, was busy in the pharmacy.

"Master! I'm coming! Xizi began to call from afar, lifted the hem of his skirt, trotted to Luo Xueyou's side, and grabbed the master's arm.

Luo Xueyou affectionately scraped Xizi's nose with her fingers. Smiled dotingly.

"Why do you have time to come to me?"

"Didn't I say last time to bring a friend to meet you, today he is free, so I brought him here, No, it's him!"

Xizi turned around and prepared to introduce Yuan Langcen to his master, but there was no one around him.

"What about people?" Xizi was puzzled for a moment, scratched his head, and looked back, only to see Yuan Langcen still stunned.

She pulled her master and walked towards Yuan Langcen, and it was obvious to the naked eye that his face was gradually turning red.

Xizi poked him,

"What are you doing? Say hello! ”

Only then did he react, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo Xueyou, but his fingers trembled slightly in midair, "You... Hello, long time...... I have admired the daimyo for a long time! ”

Luo Xueyou smiled slightly, a little amused by the boy in front of her, stretched out her slender jade hand, and gently held Yuan Langcen's hand.

"Hello, I'm Luo Xueyou, listen to my disciple, you really want to see me."

The tip of Yuan Langcen's ears was as red as a ripe tomato, "Hmm... Belch...... Right! In the lower non... I admire you very much! It is...... I'd love to see... See you! Hello! I... My name is Yuan Langcen! ”

Xizi seemed to understand why Yuan Langcen had always wanted to know Master, covered his mouth and snickered on the side, wanting to tease this nervous boy, and poked Yuan Langcen's waist with his elbow.

"Eh, the first time you saw me, you were pretty neat, how did you become today... Knot... Stuttered? ”

"You... You're stammering......"

"Okay, Saiko!"

Luo Xueyou knocked Xizi's head with a little reproach, Xizi stuck out his tongue and walked aside, no longer teasing Yuan Langcen.

Luo Xueyou stared at Yuan Langcen's face and asked, "I seem to have seen you?" ”

Yuan Langcen's face blushed even more after hearing this, "The... Indeed, I have seen it, and I prayed for a kite before the next day, and I received the favor of the girl. ”

Only then did Luo Xueyou slowly remember that the person in front of her was a gang member who had been driven away by Qi Kite a long time ago, because some people who helped Ziyan speak, they were rejected by Qi Kite's people, and they also sent people to assassinate them several times. She couldn't stand it, and she stopped a few groups of assassins, and she never saw him again.

"Are you okay now?"

"Fortunately, I was taken in by Ziyan and ate with a mouthful of food."

Luo Xueyou's eyes faintly revealed a trace of self-blame and sadness. Seeing this, Yuan Langcen hurriedly explained: "The girl doesn't have to blame herself, the previous things have nothing to do with the girl, and the current life is also my own choice." ”

Xizi tilted her head to look at the two, and it seemed that some feelings spread between the two. She quietly retreated and left the place, leaving the place for the two of them.

……

"What is it? I'm so curious! Forget it, they shouldn't be willing to mention it either. ”

Matsuma Xizi walked on the edge of the Mohe River, looking at the rushing river, recalling Leng Ruoheng's cold reaction yesterday, she was so angry that she kicked off the stones next to the river.

"What is it that makes Matsuma-girl so annoyed?"

Xizi looked up at Shen Ji shaking the folding fan in his hand and walking towards her, the wind brought by the folding fan slightly blew the sideburns on the side of his cheeks, Xizi thought to himself how a noble son could come to such a wilderness every day.

She wrung her fingers, wondering if she should tell this little girl what was on her mind.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, just chat."

Shen Ji picked a slightly larger stone, sat on it, patted the vacant seat beside him, and motioned for Xizi to sit down as well.

Xizi looked around, hesitated for a moment, and sat down.

"Do you know why we fought today?"

"Hmm...... Listening to you, it seems that Nan Ge of Ziyan mistakenly thought that he stole something from your prayer kite caravan? ”

"No, she didn't steal, I deliberately provoked it."

"Huh?"

Xizi looked at the man next to him in surprise, he didn't look at her, but looked at the vultures hovering over the desert in the distance from afar, and said to himself,

"Do you know why those vultures keep hovering there?"

Xizi was a little puzzled, but still followed his gaze.

"Because I'm looking for food."

"yes, they're looking for food. And I'm the vulture, too. ”

After speaking, he retracted his gaze, stared at the girl in front of him, and said quietly:

"I'm also looking for an opportunity, and when I find this opportunity, I'll try to eat this bite of food."

His red pupils flickered, and he closed them again, and when they opened them again, the light was gone, replaced by a hollow, but much softer.

"Nange's theft of items is just a cover, I just need a chance to fight them. They wouldn't be able to use their full strength in a normal fight, and I needed an opportunity for them to use their full strength. ”

Xizi was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to know their strength?" ”

"It's going to be an alliance battle soon, if you don't probe the strength of the other party, how do you know if you're sure to win?"

After listening to Shen Ji's explanation, Xizi seemed to understand, and smiled slightly: "You're quite smart!" ”

Shen Ji was stunned: "Don't you think I'm mean?" ”

Xizi tidied up the hem of her skirt and said unhurriedly,

"It's a little bit, but everyone has their own different way of living, you are a vulture, Leng Ruoheng is a cobra, Master is a swan, and I...... It's a squirrel! Different species and different living environments will definitely be different! ”

Shen Ji was stunned by her statement, and after a few seconds, she burst out laughing, Xizi looked at Shen Ji in front of her, who didn't look at her before, and laughed with tears in her eyes. Weak openings,

"It's so funny......"

Shen Ji laughed enough, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've heard this kind of analogy, but it's ...... Pretty appropriate! You're so funny, no wonder Leng Ruoheng likes you. ”

"What! He doesn't like me! Xizi quickly got up and retorted.

Shen Ji raised her eyebrows, it seemed that Leng Ruoheng didn't admit her intentions.

"So, you have nothing to do with Leng Ruoheng?" Shen Ji got up and approached Xizi.

"When... Of course it doesn't matter! Facing Shen Ji, who was approaching step by step, Xizi hurriedly used his hand to resist his forward steps.

Shen Ji smiled, stopped moving forward, and sat down again.

"Then it's okay for me to chase you, right?"

"Yes...... Yes? Chase me? Xizi was still stunned, looking at the smiling man in front of him, and waved his hand in panic, "Don't don't, I have someone I like!" ”

"I like Leng Ruoheng, I know, but that doesn't prevent me from liking you!"

Hearing this, Xizi's face turned red, and he quickly covered his face and squatted down, burying his head.

"You're not kidding!"

"Hahaha, got it! No kidding! ”

Xizi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, it was really a man's heart. I don't know what Shen Ji is thinking in his heart.

"By the way, do you know Yuan Langcen? It used to be your prayer kite. ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Ji's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Yes. Not very cooked. ”

"Oh...... Well, I want to ask you about his past! ”

Shen Ji reached out and touched Xizi's head and said, "If I knew, I would definitely tell you." ”

Xizi dodged Shen Ji's hand in a little panic, not noticing the emotions flashing in Shen Ji's red pupils.

"The gang war is going on soon, I have to go back, Brother Shen should also go back and prepare!"

Xizi glanced at the time, quickly opened the portal, prepared to go back, and said before leaving:

"Brother Shen, if you meet later, I won't show mercy!"

Shen Ji smiled helplessly, "I know, Miss Matsuma must not show mercy to her subordinates!" ”

Facing the place where Matsuma Xizi left, Shen Ji stretched out his hand that was dodged by Xizi and looked at it, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm still disgusted." ”

Shen Ji also opened the portal and left the Mohe Stone Beach.

The vultures above the desert in the far reaches of the Mohe River have long since disappeared, and I don't know whether they have preyed on the prey and started to feast, or because they have never been able to guard the prey, they regret leaving.
