The carriage drove on the southern official road. Don't dare to stop for a moment.
Li Yi was driving, Jiang Yu was sitting in the carriage with a pale face, and Nangong Zhenyi was healing her injuries.
With her level of cultivation, it is too difficult to control a strong man like the Sword Immortal.
But at the beginning, there was only one way.
Nangong Zhenyi took his hand away from her back and said. "how do you feel?"
"Better." Jiang Yu said, looked at Nangong Zhenyi with a smile, and continued. "I didn't expect Sister Nangong to be quite powerful."
Nangong Zhenyi ignored her teasing and just said. "This place is quite far away from Lian Keke. I'm afraid he won't follow you again. You have a good rest and I'll go take a look outside."
"Okay!" Jiang Yu closed his eyes.
Nangong Zhenyi also opened the curtain and walked out, sitting next to Li Yi.
She seemed to be feeling emotional and said. "There are many senior brothers who use sticks in Langya Pavilion. I just saw it and your stick technique is very weird. Nangong has never seen it before in his life."
Li Yi smiled and said that it was weird, and it was indeed weird. He could combine the two unique skills of the worldly spear method and the dragon stick method to form a move that people who use sticks and guns like. Naturally, everything looks weird.
"Have you ever heard of the Shenlong Stick Technique?" Li Yi didn't look at her and just drove the carriage quietly.
Nangong Zhenyi shook his head.
Li Yi smiled. "This was taught by a senior in Nanmu. I was in a hurry and only taught the moves. When I left, I was told that I would understand and practice with concentration. Since then, I have been too busy traveling and have no time to calm down and practice with concentration, so I only know how to practice. The previous ones are just fancy."
"I see."
"Are all of you in Langya Pavilion gifted? The way you sealed your throat with the sword before was a bit sassy."
"That's not entirely true. There are a lot of people who stagnate at the Mysterious Level and may not be able to break through in their lifetime. Some people are talented when they are young, but later they mostly stop at the Mysterious Level and cannot advance. It mainly depends on their luck." Nangong Zhenyi said.
"Your swordsmanship is good. If it were before, I might learn a thing or two from you, but I can't now."
"If you want to, you can learn it casually. It's not impossible. It's just swordsmanship, and it's not something that can't be taught to others." Nangong Zhenyi said and looked inside.
Li Yi asked. "How is he?"
he! Naturally, it was Xu Jinxin who ruined his life.
"I don't know yet, after all, I also had a black eye. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I was wrong, but when I think about it, I'm about to wake up." After she finished speaking, she thought about it. "I'm curious, how did you and him meet? Are we good friends?"
Li Yi nodded.
However, if we really call them good friends, they really can't be considered good friends. After all, they only met once in the Taiping ruins. We picked up some wooden boards to use as firewood together, ate python meat together, and even closer, we only slept in the same room.
"I met him at the Taiping Ruins. He saved a friend of mine."
"I see."
"But then he left. We didn't know him for a long time. He left without saying goodbye. He is a cold person. You should pay attention to this in future contacts. However, I always feel like I have met him more than once."
Nangong Zhenyi smiled and said. "He has always been like this, even when he came from Pengzhou, with a cold personality."
"You like him very much?" Li Yi asked.
He actually didn't understand emotions, but he could tell that she really cared about him, was curious in her heart, and maybe she really liked him.
Nangong Zhenyi smiled, not blushing like other girls. She looked forward calmly and said. "I just think it looks good. I don't know what love means, but I will definitely realize it in the future. But that time is still far away."
Although Li Yi didn't reply to her, he didn't know if she would feel it, but he understood that she was really good to Xu Jinxin.
For this reason, he was relieved.
He turned to look at Nangong Zhenyi, who leaned outside the carriage and closed his eyes.
He shook his head and smiled, thinking that while the young man was dressed in bright clothes and angry, he was also a little stupid. Maybe you like it and you don’t know.
actually! Why bother!
They didn't dare to stop halfway, so they rushed to the southern county seat before stopping.
Li Yi carried Xu Jinxin into the house, helped him tidy up the bedding, and then dove on the bed.
The next day, he sold the carriage in Dongshi and rented a boat at the port.
The Yanjiang River flowing down from Xincheng happens to pass through the town, and the river also flows into Nanjiang and joins the sea.
They can just go down the river. If Jiang encounters someone looking for medicinal materials on the way, they can also stop and help find them.
In the afternoon, the three of them went to the river bank to check the information with the captain.
When they came back, the three of them had a bowl of noodles in a noodle shop.
In the evening, Nangong Zhenyi handed a pill to Li Yi.
She warned again and again. "This elixir can protect his heart. It was given to me by my master when I came down from the mountain. It is said that it came from the hands of Taoist Ling Huai of Daoxian Sect. It is rare."
"You are so willing to take out such a precious thing."
"I don't care about life or death, let alone him. It doesn't hurt to do more."
Li Yi nodded, opened the room, and put the elixir into Xu Jinxin's mouth.
A few days later, they took a boat down the river.
Li Yi stood on the deck and looked at the scenery along the way. When he was contemplating whether to stop and go ashore, Jiang Yu hurriedly ran out of the boat.
said. "He's awake."
Li Yi only heard the word "wake up", turned around and hurried to the cabin.
In the cabin, Xu Jinxin was sitting on the bed, his face a little pale, and his eyes indescribably dull.
It's hard for you to imagine that this is the boy who shocked both him and Wang Daoping in the Taiping Ruins.
Nangong Zhenyi sat next to him, put the cooked porridge on the table and pushed it in front of him.
He asked instead. "This is where?"
Li Yi quickly explained. "Yanjiang, we are going down the river."
"Did I sleep for a long time? Where were they?"
Nangong Zhenyi did not answer. However, she didn't know how to answer.
Yes, he had slept for a long time, about half a month, but who were they in her mouth? She really doesn't know.
But Li Yi knew that they were nothing more than Wang Zhihe and Yang Wenyu.
But even if he knew, what could he do? Could it be that they all stayed together and flew away together? Why don't you wash up and go to bed quickly?
Maybe, as he said, he doesn't know how to comfort people.
Xu Jinxin did not look at Nangong Zhenyi, but lifted the porridge on the table and drank it.
After drinking, he turned his head and looked at Li Yi and Jiang Yu who were standing aside. He smiled slightly, looking very forced, and said. "Brother Li, can you give me a hand? I want to go out and have a look?"
Only then did Li Yi react and immediately stepped forward to support him.
Li Yi looked into his eyes. His eyes lacked their usual sparkle.
Somehow, Li Yi felt a little sad. It's a bit like the feeling I had when I left my husband.
He was once the first among the younger generation, but now he has fallen to this point, needing someone to hold him up before he can stand up. It has to be sad.
When they came outside, Xu Jinxin smiled and said. "Let go! I can walk on my own, but I can't die."
Li Yi let go of his hand, but followed him slowly.
He smiled again, his expression a bit scary, but he said. "I have no control now and it's hard for me to die. Are you still afraid?"
"Okay! But you have to promise me to live bravely. The rest of the matter will be discussed later."
"Brother Li, do you think too highly of me? I'm actually afraid of death." He said and coughed.
As he spoke, he walked towards the deck. Li Yi did not follow him, but just watched from a distance.
He was dressed in white, standing on the bow of the boat, but he looked a bit out of place.
Li Yi thought to himself, in fact, it was just a small thing at the beginning, why bother!
The girl really didn't like it, so she didn't like it anymore, so much so that she wanted to live or die.
Nangong Zhenyi also walked out of the cabin, passed Li Yi, and stood behind Xu Jinxin.
Even though she tried her best to deny that she didn't like Xu Jinxin and had no interest in Xu Jinxin, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes. In fact, she has long been exposed in the eyes of others.
Li Yi is funny. If he really didn't care, why would he chase him from Pengzhou to the river? Why do you have to do it yourself every time you feed him porridge and medicine?
I heard from Jiang Yu that she was originally going north to the northwest battlefield.
"Have you seen that girl?"
Li Yi knew that he was asking himself this question. After all, he was the only one present at the time.
But how to answer this sentence! But it was a bit difficult. He said that he had met the girl before and she was very beautiful. Xu Jinxin was trapped in love and was abandoned by others. He couldn't figure out why he ruined his life?
So, is it too straightforward?
Li Yi thought for a while and said. "I met you once."
"Does it look good?"
"I didn't pay much attention. I focused all my attention on him. I was afraid that he would do something stupid," Li Yi said, pointing to Xu Jinxin who was sitting on the bow of the boat.
After thinking for a while, he said again. "You want to take revenge on that girl?"
Nangong Zhenyi rarely smiled. "I'm just asking. I'm not a very vicious person. If something involves life and death, that shouldn't be the case."
"The girl and the man she likes are living together. She is now a married woman. Now she is wandering around the world and loving each other. It is a bit enviable. It is not surprising that he is in ruins!"
Nangong Zhenyi smiled. "It's not all bad. The waves wash away the sand, and the last thing is gold."
"Girl, what you said seems to mean something."
Nangong Zhenyi shrugged and continued to ask. "By the way, you know him best. What was his previous cultivation level?"
"I heard from Jiang Yu that you fought him once before and didn't detect it?"
"It was in a narrow alley at the time, so I didn't detect it, but it was indeed very strong."
Li Yi shrugged. "He! I'm afraid he is the number one among the younger generation in Xichu."
Nangong Zhenyi smiled. "I think that's how it should be."
"But now, I'm afraid I'm the last one left."
"It doesn't matter, even if he has nothing in the end, I will still stand by his side."
Li Yi looked at him and really wanted to tease him. Is this what she meant when she just thought he was good-looking and had no other personal feelings?
But thinking about it, I might as well forget it. I am not a master of emotions, so I have to suffer the consequences of caring about other people's emotions.
Li Yi bowed his hands to Nangong Zhenyi. "Thank you very much."
Nangong Zhenyi turned around and said. "I discussed it with Girl Jiang Yu. She taught me how to play the piano and I taught her swordsmanship."
"That's a good thing."
"So, keep an eye on him and I'll go in."
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded.
Nangong Zhenyi entered the cabin without looking back, as if he really just came to learn about Xu Jinxin.
Xu Jinxin stood at the bow of the boat. He used to look like a tall and handsome man, but now he looked indescribably lonely and weak.
He thought to himself, if he ruined his life like this in the future, he would be even more pitiful than him.
Xu Jinxin walked back from the bow of the ship, looked at him and said. "Brother Li, do you have any wine?"
"Oh! Yes, yes."
Li Yi took off the wine bottle and handed it over.
Xu Jinxin took it, took a sip, and was stunned.
Li Yi quickly explained. "It's not the one we drank at the Taiping Ruins. This wine is said to have a good reputation. It was brewed by the winemaker from Nanmu himself, and it's called Shumo."
Yes, this was Lu Yanbin telling him about Shu Mo, who had a great background.
Uncle Xi knew that he liked to drink this, so he specially gave him a pot when he went south.
"Shu Mo, that's a good name."
"It is said that the authentic Shumo wine should be brewed by the empress Han Qingshu. This kind of wine is brewed by the wine master. In fact, it is not authentic."
"Not bad." Xu Jinxin nodded.
He seemed to think for a long time before asking. "Why did you save me in the first place? I'm just a useless person, a burden."
Why save him? To be honest, he didn't know at first, he just thought he deserved it, and when his mind got hot, he pounced on him.
Come to think of it, if he hadn't pounced on him, he would have died long ago.
Afterwards, he still remembered that the talisman given to him by the old man was crushed into ashes on his body.
"I don't know, maybe you were a friend of mine and couldn't bear it at the time. So you pounced on me."
Xu Jinxin said. "Thanks."
He turned around and walked over there, with Li Yi following behind him.
Two people stood at the bow of the boat and Li Yi said. "Why bother thinking about it! With your ability, there is no need to worry about no latecomers. That girl is right, the waves wash away the sand, and those who come later are the best."
"Can't think about it?" Xu Jinxin was stunned.
Was he unable to think about it at first, so he committed suicide? It sounds really funny.
But if that's not the case, what else is it? Is it just that I don't want this kind of cultivation?
"At first, your eyes were empty and lifeless, as if you were dead. Do you understand that you were dead? It didn't matter anymore. I was a little worried at the time, so I followed."
Xu Jinxin thought about it and smiled.
He didn't know what Li Yi was thinking at the beginning, but the way he pounced on him when he ruined his life's destiny really made him feel stupid.
He still remembered that he was shouting his name in his mouth, but he was filled with the power in his body and had become hoarse and could not hear clearly.
