"Aunt Miao" and "Miao Shitou" did not live up to Shu Shichu's expectations and successfully passed the customs. After leaving the city gate, the four of them did not separate immediately, but continued walking together for a long time as if nothing had happened until noon. Stop and rest.
After eating dry food, Shu Shichu planned to leave with Mu Changqing, and was about to say goodbye to the Bai family and his daughter.
Bai Xiuxiu spoke up first.
"Zhan Nuxia, Master Mu, can I, we... can continue to follow you?" Bai Xiuxiu mustered up her courage and asked, looking at Shu Shichu and Mu Changqing expectantly.
Shu Shichu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "It is not a good habit to push beyond the limit. I have completed what I promised you and successfully brought you out of the city. Now we have nothing to do with each other."
Bai Xiuxiu suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She also knew that her request was a bit too much. She was not one of theirs, so what qualifications did she have to go on the road with them?
But she still refused to give up and continued to win sympathy pitifully: "I know you have exhausted all your love for sending us here, but although my father and I are somewhat skilled, we are not strong enough, and we have no money left. Now It’s hard to live in the wilderness..."
"Yes, yes, old man, I can't move very well. I have been busy escaping for my life these days. It's a miracle that my body can hold on until now. Can you two do a good job and send us to the next town?" Old Man Bai He also pleaded.
Shu Shichu sighed, there was no need to say anything more to someone who had nothing to do with her anymore. She flew on her horse and said to Mu Changqing: "I'm not interested in helping them anymore. I don't want to bring two Delong Wangshu with me." , greedy people, of course, if you are kind-hearted, you can continue to help them. I will take the first step!"
After saying that, she said "drive" and rode away without waiting for Mu Changqing to respond.
Mu Changqing was dumbfounded. Did Miss Zhan really think she was a good person? No, he is not.
So he also rode on his horse, and rode away without even looking at the Bai family and his daughter. Bai Xiuxiu had no time to stop her, so she had to chase after him and shouted: "Master Mu! Master Mu!" Why do you really ignore us? Wait for us..."
Unfortunately, no matter how she shouted, Mu Changqing did not stop, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Xiuxiu was so angry that she stamped her feet and muttered: "What kind of hero are you? You have no intention of helping others at all. You are so hard-hearted!"
Old man Bai was also unhappy that he was abandoned by them, but he was older after all. He knew that he and his daughter had forced it, so he comforted Bai Xiuxiu and said: "Forget it, Xiuxiu, if they don't want to help, just don't help." , we can survive ourselves."
"Hmph! I thought that woman was soft-hearted and would agree to our begging, but I didn't expect that she is also indifferent!" Bai Xiuxiu said angrily, but no matter how she complained, she could not hug Shu Shichu's lap .
Mu Changqing quickly caught up with Shu Shichu. When Shu Shichu turned around and saw only him, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You didn't help them?"
Mu Changqing smiled warmly and asked, "What misunderstanding did I give you? Did I make you think that I am a good person with a bodhisattva heart?"
Shu Shichu was stunned for a moment, remembering that his reputation in the world was "both good and evil", and then she smiled in surprise. It seemed that she had been deceived by his gentle behavior in the past few days and had forgotten his true nature. Then he smiled and said: "I see that you are very kind and friendly to the strangers who come to talk to you these days, so I thought you had a pure personality."
"That really disappoints you. I don't have a pure personality." Mu Changqing said, "Many people also say that I am cruel and ruthless."
He was indeed ruthless when he encountered a group of bandits who appeared out of nowhere.
Shu Shichu thought that traveling with Mu Changqing would be safer. After all, his reputation in the world was enough to scare Xiao Xiao off, but she forgot that even though Mu Changqing's reputation was very resounding, he was not a human being. Everyone knows what he looks like! There were no cameras in this era, and images were easily distorted.
As soon as the bandits came up, they asked them to hand over their belongings and horses. After all, they were both handsome and clean, and the horses they were riding were also fat and strong. Fat sheep, the bandits' eyes lit up when they saw the two of them.
Mu Changqing and Shu Shichu looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus. They ignored the shouts of the bandits at all. Instead, they took out their weapons and hit the bandits. Now, with the identities changed, the bandits It is the prey that is being hunted.
These bandits have some skills, but compared with Shu Shichu and Mu Changqing, the first-class and super-first-class masters in the world, they are not good enough.
Shu Shichu held the long sword in his hand and faced the bandits who only knew some rough fist and kick skills. It was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Mu Changqing was even worse. He didn't even need a sword, he just used a bamboo flute to beat them to a pulp, and they all went back to the west.
It didn't take even half a quarter of an hour for the two of them to work together to defeat this group of bandits.
Shu Shichu wiped his sword clean and put it away, but the bamboo flute in Mu Changqing's hand was not dirty at all, not even stained with blood. One can imagine how advanced his martial arts was.
"What to do with the bodies of these people?" Shu Shichu asked.
"What should we do? Of course we don't care." Mu Changqing said very bachelorly, "They have become bandits, so they should have been mentally prepared to expose their bodies in the wilderness."
Shu Shichu was not a normal person. Hearing his words, he nodded in agreement: "You are right."
Mu Changqing looked at her with some surprise. This woman was really not like an ordinary woman. She looked as cold-blooded as himself. So, why did she help the father and daughter disguise themselves out of the city in the morning? Yes, he finally guessed their identities from what Shu Shichu said to the father and daughter.
"You don't seem to be a kind-hearted person, so why did you help those two people escape?" Mu Changqing asked curiously.
"Because they paid me." Shu Shichu answered calmly.
Mu Changqing suddenly understood.
"Where is your incense master? How far is it to get there?" Shu Shichu asked him.
"He is in the Western Region, far away from us. It would take more than a month to travel quickly." Mu Changqing said directly without hiding anything from her.
"That's not bad. Fortunately, it's not in places like Tianzhu or Ceylon." Shu Shichu breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Western Region is still on this land and not a foreign country.
Shu Shichu thought it would be boring to be busy with Mu Changqing along the way, but he didn't expect that Mu Changqing was a very knowledgeable and talented person. No matter where he went, he could tell some local characteristics and allusions. After Shu Shichu discovered her love for food, he even introduced her to the local specialties. Knowing that she was not in a hurry, he even took her to taste them one by one.
Shu Shichu had to sigh, it was really comfortable to get along with Mu Changqing. He seemed to be born knowing how to please people, and he could make people feel like a spring breeze when he got along with anyone. Shu Shichu had been with him for almost a month, and he felt that It’s a deep feeling.
