"Although I don't know how Ah Xuan fell in love with you, I think she chose the right person." Tuoba Rui sighed.
Chi Chao smiled.
"I don't have much feelings for her."
"The personal dagger is a token of love given by an unmarried woman in the wilderness to her lover. So why didn't you refuse when she gave you the dagger?"
"I thought it was just a souvenir, so I accepted it without hesitation. I also gave her Lu Qiyu, but she misunderstood me. But I want to thank her. Thanks to her dagger, I Escaped from death several times.”
"Xu~"
Tuobarila stopped her horse, looked at the sky, and said, "Camp here tonight."
Chi Chaan climbed off his horse, dragged his body to a big rock and leaned against it. He quickly fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
He had been very sleepy since that night.
Whenever night falls, Chi Chao will fall into a deep sleep unconsciously and cannot be woken up until dawn.
Chi Chuan slept for many nights, but the tiredness was still there in his heart, and it didn't last long. Chi Chuan was afraid that he would fall asleep one day and never wake up again.
The shadow of corruption spread again in Chi Chaan's heart.
At dawn, the desert is once again covered with golden sand, and dazzling fireballs quickly climb up the sky. The cold air seems to have encountered a natural enemy and fled underground like crazy.
Chi Chao woke up from his deep sleep, and he went back to the night when Rouruo died in front of him.
Looking at the wool felt in front of him, it was probably Tuoba Rui who put it on for him.
"Eat." Tuoba Rui brought him a piece of dried meat and a pot of kumiss.
"I'm not hungry." Chi Chaan didn't answer.
"You have to eat even if you're not hungry." The things were thrown in front of Chi Chaan. "At least it gives me peace of mind."
After Chi Chaan hesitated for a moment, he picked up the dried meat on the ground and chewed it.
After eating, Chi Chaan suddenly said: "If I have a chance to return to the wilderness, I would like to meet Xia Yun, no! I should call her Duanmu Yun, and tell her clearly what happened between me and her."
"Why do you suddenly think that?"
"You are soft-spoken. I can see that you care about her feelings. I think you don't want her to hate you because of my relationship." Chi Chaan stood up and said, "Don't worry, after this time, she will only Hate me and want to crush me to ashes."
If he killed the king of Huangguo, Duanmuyun's biological father, would she still fall in love with the enemy who killed her father?
I don't think so.
"I want to ask you, if the king of the Huang country dies and Xia Xiang rebels, what choice will you make?" Chi Chao asked.
"Why do you wonder about this?"
"Just pretend that I'm worried about Duanmuyang's future."
"The Desolate Wolf is the Desolate Wolf of the Monarch of the Desolate Country. I will fight to the end! Unless Xia Xiang steps on my body, I will not let him take the throne." Tuoba Rui's answer left no room for negotiation. .
"Isn't it better for Xia Xiang to ascend the throne of the desolate country than the impulsive, arrogant and lewd king of the desolate country? In fact, you don't like him in your heart. What you really care about is Duanmu Yun. In fact, you like her." Chao knew that Tuoba Rui's love for Duanmu Yun was like the love between a man and a woman.
She was just trapped in a girl's body and did not dare to express her love for Duanmuyun.
Pure lily love, but this is the secret that Tuoba Rui hides deep in his heart.
"Yes, I love her." Tuoba Rui said what was in her heart without hiding it.
"If Xia Xiang wants to usurp the throne legitimately, there are two ways: first, the king of the Huang country dies unexpectedly, and Xia Xiang marries the princess of the Huang country; second, the king of the Huang country is stupid and immoral, and the ministers in the court risk their lives to protect the country and the country. A dead uprising." Chi Chaan looked into Tuoba Rui's eyes, "Then which one are you willing to choose?"
"I……"
"Don't tell me." Chi Chao turned and left, "You are the one to tell, yourself."
"Let's find another horse. We both ride on the same horse. It's too slow. It's too slow to catch up with the show."
Tuoba Rui felt that Chi Chaan seemed to be a different person, no longer as decadent as before. What got him back on his feet?
"I've never seen you want to die so much." Although he said that, Tuoba Rui also found a place to buy a horse for Chi Chaan.
Chi Chaan and Tuoba Rui, two people and two horses, one in front and one behind, were marching on the wilderness path.
Along the way, the cold wind on the plains was like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board and treating all living beings in the north as fish and meat; thousands of miles of flying snow turned the world into a furnace, melting all things into silver.
Time flies so fast, autumn is here in the blink of an eye, and it gets colder in the north than in the south.
The snow had been falling for several days and finally stopped, but the howling cold wind was still raging.
Chi Chaan and Tuoba Rui rode their horses through the ice and snow, leaving a long string of horse hoof prints behind them on the snow.
Chi Chaan breathed a sigh of relief and took the horsehide wine bag from his horse bag.
While he drank heavily, he also coughed loudly. The constant coughing also caused a sickly blush to appear on his pale face.
It was as if the fire of hell was burning his body and soul.
After drinking, he picked up a knife and a piece of cedar wood and began to carve a figure.
The blade was thin and sharp, but his hands were clumsy.
It was a portrait of a girl. After he carefully dropped the knife countless times, the outline and lines of the portrait gradually became clearer. She was very soft.
The corners of Chi Chuan's eyes were covered with wrinkles, and every wrinkle seemed to tell his misfortune.
His eyes were bloodshot from staying up late for several nights, but the strange red light in his eyes was abnormal.
It is precisely because of the demon seed that he is alive today.
The portrait was finally completed. Chi Chaan stared at the wooden figure for an unknown amount of time before he dismounted and walked on the snow.
After finding a position where he could see Xiguo from a distance, Chida dug a hole in the snow, buried the newly carved figure deeply, and then stood in front of the snow in a daze. Go on for a while.
After mounting his horse and heading off, he took out a piece of fir wood and carved it again, carefully thinking about where to place the knife in the next second.
Tuoba Rui was also used to his operations and was unable to bury his lover, so Chi Chaan sought relief in another way.
Chi Chaan's fingers were frozen, his face was red from the cold, and the woolen clothes on his body were covered with snowflakes.
Chi Chao felt cold and shivered involuntarily.
After falling into the mortal world, Chi Chaan was like an old man in his dying years. The only way to keep warm was to add more clothes.
"Are you cold?" Tuoba Rui asked.
"Are you still asking? I'm shaking." Chi Chaan replied while shaking.
"Would you like me to input some soul power into you to keep out the cold?" Tuoba Rui asked with concern.
Chi Chao not only did not accept her kindness, but said in disgust: "Don't forget, we are enemies. You can't care about me at all. From now on until I am put on the death rack, you have to watch indifferently. .”
Chi Chaan still wants to be good for Tuoba Rui. If she doesn't please the king, she will end up with him at that time.
"You have to remember that the only person you can care about in this life is Ayang." Chi Chaan said categorically, "Protect her well, you have the realm of a great master, Xia Xiang will not kill you as a last resort. "
After hearing this, Tuoba Rui smiled, and his laughter could make the first snow melt.
"When you say that, I almost want you and A Xian to fly away."
"Don't ever think about it again. She and I will never get together in the end." Chi Chaan sighed, picked up another bottle of wine and drank.
"Give me a drink too." Tuoba Rui reached out to Chi Chaan, who threw the wine bag over.
"The wine is very strong, don't drink too much at one time." Chi Chaan was not afraid that she would choke, but that she would drink all the wine in one breath.
Tuoba Rui opened the wine bag, raised his head and took a sip. The wine poured into his mouth, and a few splashed crystal wine drops slid down the corners of his mouth, and finally fell into the unseen depths.
It's just some crude grain spirits. Although the taste is not sweet enough, it is strong enough. When people in the wilderness drink, they drink spirits.
When Tuoba Rui threw the wine bag back to Chi Chaan, the weight was almost gone.
"Hiccup~" Tuoba Rui burped after finishing drinking.
"Drive!" Tuoba Rui whipped the horse's buttocks and galloped away.
Strong wine, fast horse and beauty, Chi Chao should be chased!
Tuoba Rui drank all the wine on purpose because she didn't want Chi Chaan to continue to paralyze her.
From beginning to end, Chi Chao was not freed from the pain of losing his beloved, and the relief he showed on the surface was just a forced performance.
Chi Chao chased after him, and the cold wind cut his face like a knife.
After successfully assassinating the king of the wilderness, Chi Chao also completed the last thing he wanted to do.
Even though he wanted to take revenge in his heart, he didn't have much time left. He had the heart for revenge but didn't have the strength needed for revenge.
There is no medicine in the world that can save him, unless he can rush directly from the mortal realm to the realm of the Grand Master, and activate the soul power of heaven and earth to cleanse and temper his body. Only in this way can he save himself.
In today's world, who can cross the three realms and directly enter the Grand Master realm? What Chi Chao wants to do is a fantasy.
If Chi Chao chooses this path, there will be no teacher or anyone to guide him, and he will have to explore everything by himself.
If you walk fast, you will soon reach the end of a section of the road. No matter how slow you walk, you will eventually reach the end of the section of the road.
Tuoba Rui and Chi Chaan arrived at the royal city.
The royal city is still like a giant black dragon clinging to the mountains, motionless and majestic.
The stone bridge in front of the city was heavily guarded. More than two hundred cultivators from the wilderness lined up in two rows, with vigilant faces and their right hands always on the handles of their weapons.
I don't know if they are welcoming Tuoba Rui's return with honor, or they are worried that Chi Chao still has the power of "thousands of troops will pass through without any injuries".
They were always watching Chi Chaan's every move like hawks. Chi Chaan dismounted his horse and walked across the bridge. There was silence on both sides, only the mountain wind whistling by.
While walking, Chi Chaan suddenly staggered. Dozens of people took action almost at the same time, and dozens of weapons immediately landed on Chi Chaan's body.
"Huh!" Chi Chao snorted.
"A useless person can scare you like this. A deserted person may not be so arrogant."
"Cut it!"
With the sound of the whip, a bloody wound appeared on Chi Chaan's back.
Chi Chao fell to his knees in pain.
"What are you so arrogant about?" Tuoba Rui drew back his whip and rode past.
"Let's go!"
