Maximus saw Ji Mo's subtle expression. Being able to become a general with great achievements in battle, he was naturally not an idiot. He understood that Ji Mo saw his casual excuse.
However, after he got off his horse and stood next to Ji Mo, with a smile in his eyes, he said, "I told you it was really a coincidence. Do you believe it?".
Similar expressions and the same questions reminded Ji Mo of how he answered the other party when they first met. Then he smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe me, I can tell by your poor acting skills that you are not. A good liar!".
"Haha!" Maximus smiled heartily and said to the end of the season: "You are really, uh...".
After thinking for a few seconds, he said: "What a strange person!".
"Oh?" Ji Mo looked at the other party with interest and said, "What should I say?".
Maximus leaned against the horse with one hand on its back, looking at the end of the season, his blue-grey eyes flashing with wisdom, and said: "You give me a different feeling than other people. My intuition tells me that you are not an ordinary person."
"But in fact, I am just an ordinary person!" Ji Mo was stunned for a moment and put the dagger in his hand back into the scabbard.
"I mean, the aura you have!"
"Oh?" Ji Mo became interested.
Maximus touched the beard on his chin, looked at Ji Mo and said: "You always have a faint sense of danger in you from time to time, but this sense of danger will not make others wary of you, but will make others wary of you. Arouse other people's inquiry and curiosity about you, and...".
"And, what?" Ji Mo listened to the other party's words carefully.
"Moreover, you have already guessed that I am not an ordinary soldier, but you did not ask about my identity. Such curiosity is not something that ordinary people can suppress. The feeling you gave me is that no matter what I am, Identity doesn’t seem to have much impact on your attitude towards me, that is to say, you don’t care about the things that others value, such as power! Status!”
Hearing this, Ji Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Yes, as a person living in today's society, although the status gaps between people still exist, those status gaps are only differences in social status. It does not mean that you are nobler than me. How much? This is something everyone in modern society understands.
You are richer than me, and you are more powerful than me. That is your business. As long as it does not involve the circle of my life, your identity has nothing to do with me.
And the end of the season is no exception, especially after he has the shuttle system. Power, status, and money, these have been classified by him as floating clouds. They are not his pursuits, and he doesn't care anymore.
Ji Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I just don't want to know your identity and need to salute you. That would be too much trouble!".
"So, you are different from ordinary people!" Maximus was not angry at Ji Mo's words. Instead, he smiled happily. He was generous and did not care about power and status, but he recognized Ji Mo. feel.
After seeing the other person's bright smile and not being dissatisfied at all because he guessed the other person's identity but didn't show any respect, Ji Mo said, "You are also a strange person!".
"I'm just an ordinary person who wants to go home!" As he spoke, Maximus sighed and stared into the distance. It seemed that he had penetrated the fog and saw his wife and son, and then he couldn't help but reveal a warm smile. meaning.
This is a man who attaches great importance to his family and longs to be reunited with his family.
After a moment, Maximus retracted his unfocused gaze, focused his gaze on Ji Mo again, and said sincerely: "Thank you for treating the injuries of those soldiers!".
Ji Mo waved his hand and said, "Is this why you came to me specifically? Just to say thank you?".
Maximus opened his mouth, a hint of cunning slipped through his eyes, patted Ji Mo's shoulder and said, "Huh? I'm not specifically looking for you, this is just a coincidence, brother!".
"Okay, coincidence!" This is an insignificant thing, and I don't want to waste too much time on it at the end of the season.
Maximus's proud eyes narrowed slightly, and after the corners of his raised mouth turned into three crescents, he remembered that when he just saw Ji Mo, Ji Mo held the sword in his hand and made a chopping motion, and then spoke Said: "Are you practicing?".
Ji Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, is there anything you can teach me?".
With someone to guide you, it will definitely be much faster than trying to figure it out on your own.
Maximus pulled out the dagger hanging on his horse and wanted to try his skills at the end of the season, so he said: "Then let's practice. This is the fastest way!".
Ji Mo replied seriously: "Yeah! That's right, I will learn quickly!".
That’s it again!
Hearing this, Maximus' eyes twitched and he remembered Ji Mo's horse riding. Then he gave Ji Mo a not bad smile and said, "That's not necessarily true!".
Before he finished speaking, Maximus lowered his body, stretched out his hand to pick up some soil on the ground, rubbed it in his palms, put it to his nose and sniffed lightly, then stood up with a bright smile, but the dagger in his hand was ruthless. stabbed Ji Mo's throat.
However, Ji Mo, who had been paying attention to the other party's expression since he spoke, took the first step to block him with his sword when the other party made a move.
"Ding!"
The tip of the sword in Maximus' hand hit Ji Mo's sword, making a clear sound.
"Good reflexes!" Maximus praised Ji Mo's quick reaction, then stabbed the vital part of Ji Mo's body with the sword in his hand.
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
Every attack is close to the point of the end of the season, every attack is pursuing a fatal blow, and every attack is pursuing to cause serious harm to the opponent.
This is based on experience gained from human lives on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, only if you are faster than the opponent, more ruthless than the opponent, and more responsive than the opponent can you kill the enemy and survive.
This is what Maximus is telling the end of the season through his actions.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw the fight between the two, they would definitely think that the two had some deep hatred and fought with the purpose of killing each other. However, the fact is that the two were just practicing in actual combat.
Ji Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he kept blocking the opponent's attacks with the dagger in his hand. In such actual combat, he, who has extremely strong fighting ability, used his super physical fitness to coordinate his fighting. Experience quickly improves dagger proficiency.
And Maximus is the most intuitive feeler.
From the all-out defense at the end of the season to the powerful counterattack now, only a few minutes have passed.
"Cang!" The two daggers clashed together and were pressed on their chests. Maximus's blue-grey eyes stared at Ji Mo's eyes as dark as a pool, and he smiled suddenly and said: "You What a monster!".
Ji Mo raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Ah, I said I learned quickly!".
