"When I mentioned Ji Dao Ren, you said that you didn't know anything... Are you lying?" Su Li said as he looked at the expression on his face.

Chen Changsheng could only remain silent because he was not able to lie.

Su Li said to himself: "Then what are these old guys going to do to push you out?"

Dialogues often happen, and no answer is needed to end. Chen Changsheng couldn't find the answer, and Su Li only took a short time to think about it.

Confirming that the cavalry of the Great Zhou was really far away, Chen Changsheng carried him to his body, walked through the black willow forest, and continued to walk towards the south.

As walking or running continues, the climate is getting warmer and the scenery they see is getting closer and closer to the real weather. In Kyoto, it should be thick spring now, and in the south, it is already late spring, but it is still a bit cold here. You can see the remaining snow like stars, but fortunately there is already some star-like greenness.

Looking at the green grass buds that reborn in the weeds that died last year, Chen Changsheng remembered that it had been a whole year since he left Xining Town. Too many changes have occurred this year. Even though he is still a young boy, every time he looks back, he will inevitably give birth to some feelings that middle-aged people will feel.

After passing a farmer's settlement called Wolitun, there were some changes around the two of them, with one more car, and the one who pulled the car was two strong hairy deer.

Chen Changsheng sat in front of the car, pulling the rope between the neck of the hairy deer, and occasionally making a few shouts of unknown significance. He might want to imitate the methods of the farmers, but it is obvious that the two hairy deer didn't understand his command. Fortunately, the general direction was not wrong, in short, they were walking to the south. The south was still far away, but as long as you persist, it would always get closer and closer.

Su Li was lying in the car, with a thick quilt under his body, a smooth and flexible animal skin, a yellow paper umbrella was placed beside him, and wine and food were also around him, holding the bamboo flute horizontally in his hand, leaning against his lips, making clear sounds from time to time, looking so comfortable that he could feel the miserable feeling of being seriously injured and running away.

After walking for two more days, in front of the official road, you could vaguely see a yellow city. Unlike the military camp I first saw, this is a real city. The city can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people in a radius. It must be extremely prosperous and lively. If you want to reconnect with the human world, there is no doubt that this place is the most convenient.

Chen Changsheng looked back at Su Li and asked with his eyes whether he would enter the city.

Su Li was holding a piece of fur and was carefully wiping the holes on the bamboo flute, but he ignored him.

Chen Changsheng understood, but he still didn't understand. He shook his head, pulled the rope in his hand, and asked the two hairy deer to pull the car down the official road, pass through the slightly hard fields, and bypass the yellow city.

There is a birch forest in the south of the city. Thousands of birch trees are not thick and look a little thin and straight, like swords, arise from the ground and stab into the sky.

It was late spring, but the birch forest in the cold zone had not yet grown too many green leaves. The sight was not hindered, and you could see the opposite of the forest several miles away.

Meeting Lin Moru is not the experience of Su Li teaching Chen Changsheng to walk in the world, but the old saying he has seen countless times in those miscellaneous notes.

Chen Changsheng gently tightened the rope and signaled the two hairy deer to stop.

He did not sense any danger, but just did it subconsciously.

Su Li sat up in the carriage with difficulty. The bamboo flute in his hand had been inserted into his waist at some point and replaced with the yellow paper umbrella.

He looked at the quiet birch forest and suddenly said, "Here you come."

What is coming? Of course, the enemy is coming, and the person who wants to kill Su Li is coming.

Chen Changsheng's mood suddenly became nervous. He jumped from the car to the ground, untied the rope between the neck of the hairy deer as fast as possible, and used a sword sheath to hit their thick buttocks twice. The hairy deer was in pain and ran towards the opposite direction towards the birch forest. However, this kind of livestock was gentle and did not run far away. Standing dozens of feet away and looking at Chen Changsheng seemed very confused, as if he didn't understand why he was hitting himself.

"What should I do if you are worried about their life or death?" Su Li was very angry and said to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng held the scabbard and said, "Senior, do you want to go in?"

When he just left Xueling Hot Spring, he asked Su Li, but Su Li was unwilling, and it seemed that Su Li had not changed his mind yet. He only heard Su Li sneer and said, "I'm going in, what should you do if you die? I don't want to put all my life on others, let alone a guy as weak as you."

Chen Changsheng thought that this really makes sense. Although the senior cannot fight now, his combat experience and wisdom are hundreds of times better than his. He can always help him some while he is by his side. There is no movement in the quiet birch forest. He asked a little uneasy: "What should I do next? Should I rush into the woods?"

Su Li didn't understand what he meant at all and asked, "What are you doing when you rushed into the woods?"

Chen Changsheng said: "My senior said yesterday that the most important thing in battle is the moment when the defense is counter-attack. If you can achieve real surprise, then even the strongest opponent may be defeated."

Su Li stared at him and said, "So you are going to rush into this woods, find that person, and then kill him?"

Chen Changsheng nodded honestly.

Su Li said with a helping hand: "Do you know what level of that assassin in the woods is?"

Chen Changsheng shook his head honestly.

Su Li said furiously: "Then are you going to rush in like this? Do you want to die?"

Chen Changsheng was confused, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. He thought for a while and said, "Isn't this... doing things according to the teachings of his predecessors?"

Su Li came out of his anger and said helplessly: "You have to understand that what I have said must first be based on the similarity between you and your opponent's level. Even if it is a little worse, it cannot be too far away."

Chen Changsheng said: "But what the senior said clearly is that... no matter how powerful the opponent is, he may lose."

Su Li said annoyedly: "Rhetoric, this is rhetoric, do you understand it? Exaggeration is a language art?"

Chen Changsheng lowered his head silently. After a while, he couldn't help but look up and asked, "What if he really meets an opponent who is far stronger than himself?"

Su Li gave an answer that was extremely concise and clear, Yu Qiang was clear: "Escape, or kneel."

Escape? Chen Changsheng's speed on Su Li's back may not be faster than the assassin that has never appeared in the woods. You should know that people who are engaged in the profession of assassin have always had faster body movements and speeds than ordinary practitioners. Kneel? Like Su Li, Chen Changsheng will not completely entrust his life to others, even if he is a person he trusts, let alone a person who wants to kill himself.

You can't escape or kneel. In fact, there is another way to deal with it, that is: wait.

Chen Changsheng drew out his short sword, looked at the silent birch forest, and looked at the green buds that were gradually becoming depressed from a distance but were difficult to find when looking up close, waiting for the person to appear.

That person never showed up.

Time passed slowly, and his hand holding the sword became a little sore and shouted into the woods: "Come out, he sees you."

Su Li never expected that he would do such a thing, and shook his head at the sky, feeling a little ashamed of being with him.

There was still no response in the woods. Chen Changsheng lowered his voice and said, "Senior, it seems that the method of seducing the enemy is not easy to use."

The previous conversation between him and Su Li could even be said to be a dispute, so naturally it was impossible that it was a dispute.

Looking at the quiet birch forest, Su Li said thoughtfully: "That man is gone."

"Hmm?" Chen Changsheng was a little unexpected.

Su Li lay back into the carriage, put down the yellow paper umbrella, and picked up the bamboo flute.

Under the call of Chen Changsheng, the two hairy deer slowly walked back and were gently tied to their necks by ropes.

The bamboo flute is clear and set off again.

During the next journey, Chen Changsheng became much silent, or more like himself. Only when facing Tang Sanshiliu and Su Li did he say more.

His current silence was of course because of the assassin who would appear at some time.

Just as sometimes it is more powerful than saying it, an enemy that does not appear is always more terrifying than an enemy standing in front of you.

Su Li was as usual, and there was no slight uneasiness in him. He continued to play the bamboo flute, drink the wine, and continue to take care of the wounds, just like lying in the Snowling Hot Spring that day, he was very comfortable and calm, as if he was not seriously injured, but was just on an ordinary trip.

Chen Changsheng looked at all the scenery in his sight vigilantly, with great psychological pressure, and some of the things he thought of made him feel heavier and heavier.

I met two killers in the military camp, and the cavalry of the Great Zhou were searching everywhere, which showed that as Su Yan guessed, the black robe calculated the direction of their escape and passed the news to certain forces in the human world. What will those forces do next? If the Holy Queen Mother instructed to chase Su Li, then did she know whether she was with Su Li? If she knew, would those strong men and assassins kill her? If it was... the big men in the Li Palace wanted Su Li to die, would they know that they were still alive? Or would the demons deliberately conceal their existence?

One evening, 800 miles away from Tianliang County, the deer cart stopped again to rest, and the dusk was as thick as blood.

Chen Changsheng told Su Li all his uneasiness without hiding it. No matter what the problem was between him and Su Li’s camp, since he did not leave Su Li in the snow ridge at that time, there was no reason to leave Su Li halfway. They were now riding in a car, so they naturally had to face the upcoming storm together.

"There won't be too many people know that I was seriously injured. I've told you the reason a few days ago. Let's analyze the assassination we encountered in the military camp... If we treat such a crude and ridiculous behavior as an assassination, and think about the hundreds of Zhou cavalry, we can see clearly that no matter who wants to kill me or who wants to be killed by them, we are unwilling to let the entire continent know about this."

Su Li picked up a branch and drew a map in the mud, pointed to the straight line and said, "They don't need to surround the site to attack the enemy, so there is only one reason why there is no movement until now. Our speed is so fast that after breaking through the front line of the Northern Army, those people didn't have time to send powerful enough people to kill us. If this is regarded as a war, their main force is on the way..."

Chen Changsheng squatted aside and listened attentively.

These days, such scenes have happened many times. Su Li often acted extremely unfairly, but at this time, he was very serious. He taught Chen Changsheng how to distinguish the traces of wild animals and humans, how to distinguish which plant can be eaten, which bacteria is poisonous, what is the most important thing in battle, and even taught him how to march and set up a formation

In addition to swords and practice, he taught Chen Changsheng a lot of things.

Chen Changsheng asked again: "Senior, why do you want to teach me these?"

To choose a future pope for the Southerners? This may be the real answer, but it is not enough.

"Because, I have taught Akiyama."

Su Li threw away the branch and said, "He followed me to learn for a month. If there is enough time on the road, I will teach you enough for a month. You return the yellow paper umbrella and I take you away from the snow field. It has been offset by two, but you have not left in the snow ridge, so I owe you a favor, so you just think I'm going to give you a favor.

"Favor?"

"In the future, you will always start competing with Akiyama. I hope you don't fall too far and be as fair as possible, just the favor I give you."

Following Xueling Hot Spring, Chen Changsheng was once again moved by Su Li’s senior master style, and then said seriously: “I didn’t return that yellow paper umbrella to my senior, but I just borrowed it for you.”

Su Li looked at him quietly and suddenly laughed: "I'm not used to this warm scene, so I have to deliberately break it?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes."

Su Li said: "I'm not used to it either, so don't ask me similar questions in the future."

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said seriously: "Senior, you are such a good person."

Su Li looked at him and said seriously: "Don't say such words again in the future."

"Why?"

"Because you will know in the future that I have never been a good person in the traditional sense. I am moody and will kill people if I don't agree."

"But I really can't tell it. OK, senior, although the sentence just now was deliberately said, in fact, the yellow paper umbrella is indeed mine."

"Ah, it seems you really don't believe that I will kill someone suddenly."

"Senior, if you can still kill someone now, why would we dare to set off in the middle of the night?"

Without speculation, there is no need to say anything. In the getting darker and thicker twilight, Chen Changsheng began to prepare supper and sleep in the open.

Su Li looked at the busy boy next to the fire, squinted his eyes slightly, and slowly rubbed the bamboo flute in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

The dusk faded, and after simply eating the barbecue, Chen Changsheng put out the fire to ensure that it would not become a beacon at night.

There was nothing to say all night, and the morning breeze came slightly cool, with the smell of dew and grass, which made people feel refreshed. The two hairy deer took a happy step and walked out more than ten miles in a short while.

There are green plants growing on the large fields, maybe sorghum, but these sorghum have just begun to grow. They don’t look like the blue gauze tent in the legend, and they can’t hide their figure.

So Chen Changsheng saw the man in the field at a glance.

It was a handsome man with a full body of armor and seven long swords behind him, which was extremely bright in the morning light.

No matter how you look, you don't look like an assassin.
