Chapter 197: Chess Meets Opponents
Since Bai Zhili followed, Yun Wuxian could not "fly with the sword". In one day, the two of them walked more than a hundred miles, and Yun Wuxian calculated, according to their current footsteps, it would probably take more than a month to rush to Makino. At that time, even if he breaks the 'three-phase talent formation', it will be useless. When the time comes, when the army of King Qin of the imperial court arrives, it will be impossible to enter Kyoto with those samurai in the hands of Bai Meisheng.
"Yun Gongzi, can you walk slowly?" Bai Zhili shouted loudly from behind.
Yun Wuxian stopped, turned around, and saw Bai Zhili leaning against the big tree, panting heavily. Bai Zhili gasped and said, "You go so fast, I can't keep up." ”
"Brother Bai, why don't we leave it at that. Yun Wuxian said, "You said, the purpose of your trip is to visit the mountains and rivers and wander the rivers and lakes." Your life should be one of relaxation and slow walking. Why do you have to suffer so much with me?"
Listening to Yun Wuji's words, Bai Zhili hurriedly sighed, walked up to Yun Wuji, pointed at Yun Wuji's head with the folding fan in his hand, and said, "I understand, Yun Gongzi, did you deliberately go fast and use this as an excuse to drive me away?"
Immediately, Bai Zhili shook his head and said, "Young Master Yun, I didn't say you. You're too inauthentic. If you hate me and push me away, just tell me straightforwardly, why bother? I used to think you were a pretty bold person. It's me who has lost my eyes. ”
"Brother Bai, you misunderstood me. I really didn't mean to drive you away. Yun Wuxian said, "After all, you did me a favor. Count on my benefactor. I haven't repaid you yet, how can I drive you away. I really have something urgent to do, so I have to hurry up. Brother Bai, you have to be considerate of my good intentions. ”
"I don't understand you. If I really can't keep up with you, I won't say that. Bai Zhili said, "I don't understand, Yun Gongzi, you are a person who knows magic. 'Edgeworth Flight' should be the most basic spell for a mage. You're a mage, and you're going to 'fly with your sword' too. With such a long distance, let's walk over step by step, and it will naturally take time. Why don't you 'Edgeworth Fly'?"
"I want to, too. But I can't. Yun Wuxian said in embarrassment.
"Why?" asked Bai Zhili.
"The spells we practice are not to be displayed in front of ordinary people. This is the door rule of the Moshan faction. If I show you the spell of 'Edgeworth Flight', I'm breaking the rules. Yun Wuxian said.
"Oh. Bai Zhili touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I really didn't expect that the rules of the Moshan Sect are so strict. After a pause, Bai Zhili continued: "However, I don't understand, since Yun Gongzi regards the door rules of the Moshan faction so important, why do he still want to rebel with Bai Meisheng?
Bai Zhili's words stopped Yun Wuxian from asking. Yun Wuxian looked at Bai Zhili, his face flushed, but he couldn't find a better word.
Bai Zhili smiled and said, "Yun Gongzi, you don't need to say it. From your facial expressions, I already know what's going on. Since you dare to rebel, why do you care about this little thing? ”
"I know, you're laughing at me. But I'm not angry. Yun Wuxian said, "No matter what others scold me, I won't change my mind." ”
"I didn't laugh at you. I'm telling the truth. Bai Zhili said, "A manly man, why should he care about other people's opinions." Besides, it's just you and me. Rest assured, I will never tell a second person what I have seen. ”
Bai Zhili raised his finger and swore an oath: "If I break my oath, I will thunder five times in the sky." ”
Yun Wuxian hurriedly defended: "Brother Bai, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that if I disturb others in this blue sky and white day, it will be my sin. ”
Bai Zhili nodded and said, "Young Master Yun, I understand what you mean. That's good, let's rest in place now, and at night, you'll be able to 'fly with Edgeworth' and rush to Makino before dawn, how about it?"
Yun Wuxian pondered, Bai Zhili's suggestion was feasible. Of course, apart from this method, there is no better solution for Cloud Without a Trace. Seeing that Yun Wuxian didn't speak, Bai Zhili knew that Yun Wuxian agreed. He asked Yun Wuxian to sit down and rest, and he went to look for food.
Half an hour later, Bai Zhili returned, holding two rabbits in his hands. Cloud Without a Trace hurriedly lit a bonfire. Bai Zhili took out a dagger and killed the rabbit on the side. Seeing the blood on Bai Zhili's hands, Yun Wuxian really doubted Bai Zhili's words, at this moment, Bai Zhili, Yun Wuxian felt that he was not the scholar who was powerless.
Bai Ling smelled the blood and ran to Bai Zhili's side. Bai Zhili took out a rabbit head and put it in front of Bai Ling, who opened his mouth and ate it.
"Are you going to follow him all the time?" said Bai Zhili.
Yun Wuxian was some distance away from Bai Zhili, and he couldn't hear Bai Zhili's speech. Therefore, Bai Zhili's words were not for Yun Wuxian to hear, but for Bai Ling. However, Bai Ling did not react at all.
"Don't pretend you can't hear. I know you can understand me, and I know you can finish speaking. Of course, you are suspicious of my identity. I can tell you that I have no ill will towards you. I'm from Qingqiu. ”
Hearing Bai Zhili say this, Bai Ling's ears pricked up.
"You can still understand me. Don't pretend in front of me. Bai Zhili said, "Actually, our purpose is the same. You have seen everything I have done, you have 1,000 years of cultivation, and you have seen the deceit of the world more thoroughly than anyone else. What kind of person I am, you can see in a word. Isn't it?"
"What the hell do you want to say?" Bai Ling finally spoke.
"Brother Bai, aren't you okay?" asked Yun Wuxian .
"That's good. Bai Zhili turned his head and replied in a loud voice. Then, Bai Zhili lowered his voice again and said, "Qingqiu Country is no longer the Qingqiu Country it used to be. The only person who can save Qingqiu is the princess. ”
"I haven't seen the princess. Bai Ling said.
"You are afraid of exposing the whereabouts of the princess and causing trouble for the princess. I can understand. "Now, we're in the same boat." For the sake of Qingqiu Country, we should cooperate. Isn't it?"
"I'm not the same person as you. Bai Ling said.
Bai Ling's words provoked Bai Zhili, Bai Zhili's face suddenly pulled down, and he said in a stiff tone, "Of course I know that you and I are not all the way, because you are not human at all." Don't forget, your fox promise. ”
"What does the promise of the ancients have to do with me?" Bai Ling said, "I have suffered for a thousand years, and I don't want to live my old life again. Do you see what I mean?"
"So you didn't keep your previous promise?" Bai Zhili said fiercely, "You are a fox, you were born to protect Qingqiu's safety." This is your innate calling, and you will never escape it in your life. ”
"Brother Bai, are you talking to Bai Ling?" asked Yun Wuxian.
Bai Zhili turned around, and when he saw Yun Wuxian, he was taken aback. Of course, Bai Zhili quickly calmed himself down.
"No?" Bai Zhili looked up at Yun Wuxian and said with a surprised expression, "What? Yun Gongzi, can Bai Ling speak? I'm very honest, don't lie to me! I see that Bai Ling is just an ordinary fox, how can it speak?"
"Bai Ling, you answer me, let Bai Gongzi listen to you. Yun Wuxian said.
"Hello, Brother Dog. Bai Ling said.
Bai Zhili was taken aback, and then, he took a step back, and his ass slammed on the ground, his eyes widened and his mouth wide open. Yun Wuxian looked at Bai Zhili carefully, he couldn't see that Bai Zhili was acting with him.
"Bai Gongzi, how can it speak? It must be an immortal, otherwise, how can it speak. Bai Zhili got up, knelt in front of Bai Ling, and was about to kowtow to Bai Ling. Yun Wuxian hurriedly supported Bai Zhili.
"Bai Gongzi, Bai Ling is not an immortal. As for why she spoke, I'll tell you later. Yun Wuxian said, "I'm hungry? Aren't you hungry? Our main problem now is to roast the rabbit, isn't it?"
Bai Zhili hurriedly picked up the rabbit meat on the ground, smiled at Yun Wuxian, and said, "Yun Gongzi, I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”
The two sat around the campfire, silent for a moment, Yun Wuxian cleared his throat and said, "Brother Bai, what did you say to my senior sister just now? Why did she listen to you and decide to help me." ”
"It's nothing, I'm just talking about it. Bai Zhili said.
"Brother Bai doesn't want to say forget it. Yun Wuxian said.
"Do you really want to know?" Bai Zhili looked at Yun Wuxian and asked with a serious expression.
"Of course I want to know. However, if it's inconvenient for Brother Bai to say, forget it. Yun Wuxian said.
"I can tell you. But you have to promise me. After you listen to me, you have to make sure that you don't get angry. Bai Zhili said.
"Well, I assure you, I'm definitely not going to be angry. Yun Wuxian raised his hand and said seriously.
"Actually, I have a specialty, that is, I can see people very accurately. No matter who it is, I can read her mind just by looking at her. Bai Zhili said, "It's no exaggeration to say that although you have been in contact with your senior sister for a long time, you don't know your senior sister better than me. I know that although your senior sister is very cold to you on the surface, she cares about you very much in her heart. I just grasped your sister's mind to convince her to help you. ”
"That's it?" asked Yun Wuxian.
"Of course not. Bai Zhili said, "Your senior sister is a person who wants to save face. When I pierced her mind, she was very angry. As you can see, at first, the conversation between the two of us was not harmonious. ”
