But the person behind him saw him not answering so instead tightened his hand around his waist and put his chin on his shoulder: "Sweetie, why do you ignore me?"
Because I am thinking about whether or not to stun you and leave without you. Shen Yu thought, slightly sideways, he lowered his voice and asked: "Since you still remember your identity, then you know why Chen Gong is going to the ancient city to find chalcedony?"
Yan Wushi "I don't know about Chalcedony but I have heard about Yu Rongrong. This thing grows in the depths of the Gobi Desert. It is hidden between the cracks all year round and is extremely difficult to find. It is indeed a rare treasure, but Chen Gong is obviously not just looking for chalcedony, he also wants Yu Yurong, but he wants to use us a bait and let us do the work for him."
Even when he was not injured before, Shen Qiao rarely heard him analyze such a thing in such a peaceful tone.
Shen Qiao: "Yes, I also found out about that, but even if there is no Jade Chuangrong, he has locked away the grandfather of Banna, so I can't help but go with him, Also, if I can find Yu yurong, your injury can be healed."
Yan Wushi: "Actually, my injury is in the heart of the devil, Yu Yurong can only cure trauma and the benefits i get won't be great."
Shen Qiao found this conversation funny: "But there are cracks in your head. Jade Chuanrong can reproduce muscles and bones. Can it be used in the wrong way? Isn't it necessary to treat the trauma first?"
Yan W sullenly said: "In fact, I don't want a cure."
Shen Qiao: "Why?"
He felt that the other person's temperament is not the same as before. He was a bit like the one who just woke during the past few days and showed him a gentle smile.
Yan Wushi: "Because if i am cured, I will not be able to talk to you. Do you prefer to be with the other one that ignored you and gave you to Sang Jingxing?"
Shen Qiao: "You are also him."
Yan Wushi: "I am not him."
Without mincing words, Shen Qiao asked "Who are you then?"
No teacher silent for a moment: "You can call me Sweetie."
Sinking: "..."
Yan Wushi: "You heard me, you can call me that."
Shen Qiao: "I can't call you that in front of people."
Yan Wushi said with resentment: "The skin is just the appearance of the body, why should you care about it? I know all the things i did to you. Brother, you are such a good person, It is hard to find a second person like you in this world. He does not cherish you but I cherish you, okay?"
The person in front of him stopped talking, and he no longer took looked at him. He wanted to say say something but he didn't know how to say it. He was still in a trance when he saw that Chen Gong’s horse suddenly slowed down. The other person turned his head and glanced at them. Seeing the two whisper, he could not help but ridicule. "It seems that the outside rumors are wrong. The relationship between Shen Daochang and the lord isn't actually very good. So I am relieved. With the two of you together, you can help each other in this trip to find the chalcedony!"
Shen Qiao looked at the sky. He had lived here for several days, and was already understanding of the weather which was now a bit dark: "Is it necessary to stay out in the sand?"
Chen Gong naturally did not understand, but the people he brought had some understanding. Murong said: "Yes my Lord, there's an inn just in front of a small town, it will be better for us to rest for the night there. By the way, we can change horses and continue on our way tomorrow ”
How arrogant Murong was originally. Now, at this time, he was willing to call Chen Gong his lord, which made Shen Qiao unable to look at him.
Murong’s look was blank as usual. He did not seem to feel that this master-servant relationship insults his identity.
He previously respected Qi Di Gao Wei, but now he respected by Chen Gong...
Seeming to be aware of his thoughts, Yan Wushi pressed himself on his back to his ear: "Mu Rongjia is privately loyal to Chen Gong."
Hot air sprayed into his own ear, and he couldn’t help but lean forward.
They arrived in town shortly afterwards. Chen Gong was very rich. When they went there, he decided to get the best inn in town but in fact this inn was the only one in that town, it was just like Wangcheng where the only suitable place they could find was at the house of Banna and was shabby but it could have been a lot worse. After all, this place was far away. They were even lucky to find a place to rest. Everyone had nothing to complain about. After eating, they didn't mention it.
The inn rooms were few, so Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi naturally had to stay in the same room.
Shen Qiao was not a very curious person, but Chen Gong used to just be a very ordinary boy. Now it seems he hid countless mysteries. This mystery may also be related to their purpose and safety so he had to be very careful when dealing with him.
"The powers Chen Gong currently enjoys is obtained from Qi Zong. If there is no Qi, Chen Gong would have nothing. Murong Sui was the first master of the Qi State Court, but was against Gan and Chen Gonggong. The reason they are now working together is a very strange thing in itself."
After the unchanging temperament of Yan Wushi, both his eyes have been following Shen Qiao. No matter what he did, his eyes were tightly glued on the other. Shen Qiao was not a dead person so he couldn't pretend to feel nothing. He just felt awkward. After a while, he couldn’t help but frown: "Why have you been watching me?"
"Because you look good." Yan Wushi smiled at him, like a spring breeze that blew at Baoshushengguang and Yuehua Jingyu.
"Stop saying nonsense." Shen Qiao sighed and found that this ignorant Yan Wushi was not really normal, but he was always better than the previous one.
"Did Chen Gong learn martial arts before?"
After he reminded him, he suddenly realized where his sudden uneasy feelings came from
Before, Chen Gong was determined to learn martial arts. He didn’t even know how to read, but he was interested in learning martial arts. He only learned one or two tricks from Shen Qiao but it was only enough to deal with one or two thieves. At the moment, the other side's movements are restrained and his footsteps are light. It was obvious that his martial arts has reached a certain level. Even if he was not a first-class master, he could be regarded as second-rate, and it rank among the top across the rivers and lakes.
In such a short period of time, how did he have such rapid changes? The martial arts of ordinary people have to be practiced from a small age, but Chen Gong did so really quickly which was very doubtful.
Shen Qiao: "And, before I asked if you would go back to Chang'an but you said it was too late, is it because of the accident? Are you afraid of something?"
He didn't even shake his head. He was exhausted because he was riding a horse for a long time today. Even if he was just sitting on the horse, he didn't have to look at the road, but he was seriously injured. The bumps on the road were enough to make the old relapse.
"My head hurts a little..." There was a hint of pain on his face, and his hand seemed to want to reach out to the top of his head to touch the wound.
Sinking your eyes and holding your opponent's hand down quickly: "Don't move."
He held his hand against the chest and poured out a few curses.
Shen Qiao was now passing him the internal strength but his pain deepened, his face almost twisted.
As a last resort, Shen Yu can only quicken his actions before he stopped.
The other's body was hot and seemed to be on fire. This had never happened before.
"Master Yan?"
Yan Wushi grabbed his hand, and he still said in a half-conscious coma: "Call me Sweetie..."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi: "All the things you said made me confused in my mind, I can’t say why, maybe I don’t know, but I fe.."
That is to say, every different personalities of his couldn't fully fully remember what the other one did? Shen Qiao wondered about this
"I will sleep first..." Yan Wushi said, his voice was getting worse. Finally, his eyes closed.
In fact, those who wanted to kill Yan Wushi did that not only to stop the expansion of the martial arts in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also to prevent Cleansing moon sect to help the Zhou Emperor to dominate the world, so the ultimate goal was to eliminate Yan Wushi. Now, that Yan Wushi seems to have died in the eyes of outsiders, There was no leader standing in their way and it was not too late to unify the demonic sects. The protection of Yan Wushi wasn't their priority so that they wouldn't be caught in the middle.
Therefore, for Yan Wushi to say that that it was too late should mean that there will be an accident happening to Yan Wushi.
But now they have come to Tuyuhun, which is a hundred thousand miles away from Chang'an, and they are about to enter the deserted area. Even if he doesn't consider it, Yan Wushi was in a vulnerable situation and the old grandfather was still in the hands of Chen Gong, so he could not afford to run away. For the sake of them, he could only continue to go forward and help Chen Gong to get the chalcedony.
Early the next morning, when Chen Gong sent someone to call them, Yan Wushi was still asleep, and could not wake up despite their efforts.
Shen Qiao had to place him in front of the horse, while he sat behind him, his hands wrapped around his waist from the other side to the front to hold the reins, in case he falls off.
Chen Gong saw this and handed him a bottle of medicine: "inside is a pill, you can refresh your qi, you can give it to the master, maybe it will help him feel better."
Shen Qiao: "Thank you, but I don't know how his condition is. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to use drugs."
Chen Gong smiled: "You can rest assured that these pills are mild herbs such. Even if they are not effective, it will not kill him. If my guess is not wrong, he must have been seriously injured when he first fought against those of Dou Yanshan. It's normally not my business but now you and I are in the same boat. If you have nothing going on with Yan Wushi, I advise you not to be distracted. It will not good for me."
He was not wrong. The situation at the moment was not optimistic. His body was insane and could no longer accept the foreign spirit from him. Shen Qiao was helpless.
He took the pill bottle and gave it to Yan Wushi.
After a short while, the latter suddenly moved and coughed up a large amount of blood, before he actually opened his eyes slowly.
Shen Qiao became suspect in his heart. if the herbs in the pill were very mild as Cheng Gong had claimed, it would be absolutely impossible to have this miracle.
He asked Chen Gong: "What other ingredients were there in this pill?"
Chen Gong said truthfully: "There were also ginseng and snow lotus, only because I was afraid that if you knew it was actually a violent drug, you will not use it on him, so I did not tell you."
Shen Qiao asked Yan Wushi: "How do you feel?"
The other party did not speak, and his opened slightly. It seemed that they looked at him and closed them again. He could barely sit down straight but his face was cold and his forehead was sweaty.
Chen Gong: "It seems that there is no more problem so let's go."
He seemed to be eager to go to their destination. Although it was not too obvious, but Shen Qiao could feel it.
There were no camels in the town so everyone had to ride on horses. Fortunately, the terrain was not completely deserted. The bare rock was still visible everywhere, indicating that they were still in the Gobi area.
Along the way, Yan Wushi did not talk to Shen Yu again, only lying on his back drowsily
He was still alive, and he was a very important person. However, none of Chen Gong’s people, including Murong Yu and others paid too much attention to him. They seemed to have other goals. This goal seemed much more important than Yan Wushi
The horse found it difficult to walk on the roads, the winds and sands were getting bigger so everyone could only dismount so that the horses could continue to move forward.They passed through rivers and they were gone for most of the day. From the early morning till the evening. they had already gone far from the town when they encountered a sand storm,
Shen Qiao is a master of martial arts and could protect himself. Fortunately, everyone had been prepared, and covered their heads with their cloak covers to protect themselves from the sand storm.
At the forefront was a middle-aged man with an ugly appearance Shen Qian did not know, and Chen Gong does not bother to introduce him. However, the other party obviously did not have martial arts skills. He was not the same as Murong Yu and others. Chen Gong took him along in other for him to show them the way.
The other person holding a compass in his hand and sitting on the horse was responsible for pointing out the direction. Naturally, someone was holding the horse for him.
Suddenly, he raised his hand high.
Almost the next moment, Murong screamed: "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and looked back at the middle-aged man.
The other side looked down at the compass for a long time, turned and ran to stand in front of Chen Gong. He rubbed his headscarf on his face to wipe the sweat away: "Master, something is not right...the compass has not been able to identify the direction from here!"Chen Gong frowned: "Did you not say you have gone through this direction before?"
The middle-aged man stared at Chen Gong’s burning gaze, and he almost could not complete his sentence: "Yes, yes! But now..."
He handed the compass over, and Chen Gong saw that the pointer on the head was turning wildly and could not stop.
Chen Gong naturally couldn't read: "What does this mean?"
The middle-aged man lost his smile: "If your servant does not guess wrong, this should be the old city you are looking for. There must be something here causing the pointer of the compass to be disturbed. Maybe it is the chalcedony that you want. But now because of theis interference, this servant simply can't find out where the real entrance to the ancient city is!"
Everyone looked around, but saw the yellow sand, blurring the boundaries between heaven and earth, and they occasionally sww bare rocks nearby. The so-called ancient city sites could not be seen at all.
Chen Gong asked Murong Yu: "What do you think?"
Murong Yu thought for a moment: "Master, do we have to wait for the wind and sand to stop before we think of a plan again?"
Chen Gong frowned: "But there is no place to shelter from the wind."
He looked back at the middle-aged man: "Should we continue, or stop on the spot, you give the word."
His words were understated, but the other party was not willing to fool around. The middle-aged man was hesitant, for fear that everyone will go their own way because of his own words, He didn't want to loose his head so he anxious to scratch his heads: "This, this..."
Chen Gong coldly said: "You better think carefully"
The middle-aged man shuddered and blurted out: "Continue to go!"
Chen Gong: "Are you sure?"
Middle-aged man: "Yes! I have come through this road. From the perspective of the compass reaction, it should be right in this area. It can always be found in the turn!"
Chen Gong: "Let's go."
The crowd continued to move forward, Shen Qiao followed, and he looked back at Yan Wushi squatting at the corner and hesitated for a moment: "You are not Yan Wushi"
The other hand sneaked out a hand from under his robes and held his hand on the reins: "It's me, Sweetie."
"..." Shen Yan was speechless, but he also secretly sighed.
Although he saved the evil Yan Wushi, he had no heart so he did not want to have too much contact with the other party.
The so-called "Sweetie" or "Xie Ling" personalities, no matter which one, in Shen Qiao's view, they spoke much better than the original master. At least when facing them, Shen Qiao could recognize them. They were different people.
Suddenly, someone in front shouted: "The master! he is gone!"
