Cang Tao blocked Lin Yu's scimitar with the scabbard tied to her wrist, and then threw the dagger in her hand towards her eyes.

She didn't expect him to throw his only weapon out of his hand, and when she saw the cold light coming straight into her eyes, she was at a loss for a moment, so Cang Tao took advantage of the situation and easily snatched away the scimitar in her hand.

And the dagger flew behind her, and I don't know where it was inserted.

Her heart was pounding.

"You've got a little less determination." Cangtao let go of her hand, but did not return the cutlass to her. He stared into her eyes, "If you had been quicker, I might not have had time to react." ”

Lin Yu looked at him: "You're not afraid?" ”

"If it were you, I wouldn't be afraid, I would just be sad." Cangtao's voice gradually lowered: "Since I was a child, I have met many people who have swung knives at me, if you can't escape, you will die, if you can't react, you will die...... No one taught me what to do, I have been able to live until now, and everything I have learned is a ...... that I have figured out by myself every time I am lucky not to die, desperately thinking about how to deal with it in order to survive."

He paused, "I never trust people easily, but I've never been defenseless against you. ”

Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted and said, "Don't be sad. ”

But she can't promise that in the future, or even that she will say "I won't make you sad".

"I just don't want you to go through the pain I've been through, and I want me to protect you from a little bit of wind and rain...... But I don't know why you're so angry, and I don't know why you're so insistent. ”

Cang Tao lowered his eyes and looked at the scimitar in his hand, "I can only think that it is because I didn't protect you well, so you don't trust me anymore." I will try to make you see the change, and I will sweep away all your uneasiness. Ayu, give me another chance. ”

Lin Yu stretched out her hand to get the scimitar back, but Cangtao didn't resist and let go, letting her hold the murder weapon and stand in front of herself who was defenseless.

She glanced at him silently and sheathed her scimitar, "It doesn't matter if I trust you or not. ”

"There is one more thing, I haven't asked ......" Cang Tao suddenly said: "You rescued Zhu Rongzhan, so my people probably can't come back?" ”

Lin Yu's heart suddenly shook.

Cangtao had never mentioned this matter before, and she even thought that he would not mention it again.

He must have guessed their fate in a foreign land, and she thought they would let it go without a clear understanding.

So what is the purpose of mentioning it at this time? Does he want to avenge them? Or do you want to make her feel upset?

"Who killed them?"

Lin Yu was silent.

"You don't know many people, and there aren't many people who can help you, Ah Yu, I can find out."

"What do you want to do?"

"Their parents, brothers and sisters are waiting for their news, I took them out, and I need to give them an explanation."

Lin Yu hesitated.

She said in front of Cangtao before that she had never killed anyone, and asked him to help when she couldn't do it, not because she deliberately deceived, but for some reason, she subconsciously said it.

Her subconscious may have judged that pretending to be "innocent" was more beneficial, perhaps she felt that if there was less conflict, she would be more likely to win Cangtao's support, or perhaps she felt that she could get along with him more easily by reducing his excuses......

But if he admits that he killed someone now, will it shake Cangtao's trust in himself? Would make him feel like he was deliberately cheating on him?

"I did it." Lin Yu had many thoughts surging in his mind, but when he opened his mouth, he still told the truth: "When I met them, they were about to bully a girl. ”

"You did it?" Cangtao didn't believe it: "Can you fight them?" ”

"I knew I couldn't get close to them, so I rode on my horse...... "she made an archery gesture, "and hit them." ”

Cangtao pursed her lips.

"You taught me by hand, and I haven't been rusty yet." Lin Yu said: "I still remember that you taught me that since you are riding on a horse, you must magnify the advantages of the horse to the extreme. So there was a man who was trampled to death by my horse. ”

Ah Yu ...... You know them. Cang Tao said slowly: "Since you remember your life with me, it is impossible for you not to know them." ”

Lin Yu lowered his eyes: "Yes, I recognize them, but ......"

She paused: "They were my enemies then. ”

Cang Tao showed a look of disbelief, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Yu.

Out of some tacit understanding and understanding, Lin Yu realized that a question had emerged in his mind: If one day, I become your enemy, will you also attack me without hesitation?

"If I let them go, they wouldn't necessarily let me go," she said. ”

"And when you want to kill again...... I guess I don't need my help. ”

His tone was stiff, his gaze crossed over the scimitar, and Lin Yu felt that he might regret giving the knife to her for a moment.

That's not the case......

She thought to herself.

Shooting someone on a horse is not the same as cutting someone in the face.

If you are far enough away from a person, then he is not enough to form a concrete "person" in her mind.

He will be a symbol, a target, an obstacle.

But the closer you get, the more you can see a person's eyebrows, eyes, demeanor, and the tremors, panic, fear, and anger he shows in danger......

The more you can realize that this is a person, a living person......

The harder she is.

Lin Yu suddenly felt that her lips were a little dry, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Maybe she subconsciously said that she had never killed anyone, not because she wanted to disguise, but because she deliberately forgot that those "people" were "people", so she subconsciously thought that she had not killed anyone herself.

But...... This is still self-deception after all.

“…… Good. Lin Yu nodded.

But she agreed, and Cangtao looked even angrier.

He brushed his sleeves away, turned and left her tent.

Lin Yu stood in place for a moment, confirming that he would not come back, before turning around to look for the dagger that flew past.

She found a cut in the tent, and she opened the crack to see the dagger in the dirt not far outside.

She picked the dagger back and looked at her wrist again.

Lin Yu thought that she would have to find a scabbard and tie it to her wrist as well.

In her previous life, Cangtao would not take off the scabbard on her wrist when she slept, and she also asked him why, but this was the first time, and she faced the dagger inside.

His scabbard was used to defend against her scimitar.

Lin Yu remembered his expression when he said to him just now, "They are my enemies".

If you can't bear to start with someone who once believed in you, loved you, and wanted to protect you, won't you be able to achieve great things......?

If one day, Cangtao has an irreconcilable conflict with her, if he insists on leading the Beirong army south, he insists on provoking a war......

Lin Yu thought a lot, she pressed the dagger under the pillow, lay on the bed sideways in the direction of the door, and closed her eyes.

……

The next day, as soon as Lin Yu opened his eyes, he saw Cangtao sitting on the edge of the bed, and the whole person was suddenly startled.

Seeing her wake up, Cangtao didn't wait for her to react, and as if he was deliberately trying to scare her, he threw the scabbard in his arms into her hand.

It was a very plain scimitar scabbard.

Lin Yu eased her senses and took out the dagger she had picked up yesterday from under her pillow.

Cang Tao didn't speak, and he didn't reach out to take the dagger back, but paused, took out the dagger's scabbard from his arms, and put it in her hand.

Lin Yu stared at his wrist with the scabbard tied before for a while, wondering if he had changed a dagger.

Cang Tao looked away, looked at the door, and shouted out of the door in a somewhat stiff voice: "Lan Li." ”

Someone immediately walked in from outside the tent. "King."

"Take this slave girl home." Cang Tao stood up and turned his back to Lin Yu: "She's yours." ”

Lin Yu followed and looked at Lan Li.

She knew him, but at this time in his previous life, he should not have been by Cangtao's side, it should have been after being reborn, Cangtao knew his reliability and promoted him to his side in advance.

Lan Li lowered his head: "Yes." ”

"Remember how you got her?"

"Yes. In Datu, the maid who needed to take care of the Yan clan on the way, so I got her. ”

"What's her name?"

Lan Li paused slightly, and subconsciously looked up at Lin Yu.

It was a very young face, only about seventeen, eighteen.

His complexion is slightly darker, and he has a rough feeling that is often exposed to the wind and sun, but his facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and he can see that he looks handsome and handsome.

Lin Yu was a little surprised, because in his memory, Lan Li was a man with a beard that almost covered half of his face, a gloomy expression, one eye that had been blinded in battle, and a taciturn man with a strange temper.

Although in her previous life, she often heard people lament Lan Li's injuries and say that he used to be a lot of good young men, but she never succeeded in imagining it.

He got stuck in his name, because although Cangtao told him that the Yan family wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person, he didn't think that he would have to give her a name.

Moreover, would the king really allow him to give the Yan clan a name?

Lin Yu said: "Call me 'Amu'. ”

Lan Li looked at Cangtao again, not knowing if he agreed or not.

His eyes were large and bright, reminiscent of a diligent and silent ox, and like a loyal and zealous hound.

"Okay, let's go with him," Cang Tao said the first sentence of the day to Lin Yu at this time, and he said with a stiff face: "Since you don't want to stay here and enjoy the blessings, then go to his house and be his Amu." ”
