When He Rongchuan left Ariel's tent, he happened to meet Sera about to go inside. Seeing this person, he suddenly remembered something, pulled her aside and said: "Do you still remember that when you taught me swordsmanship in Chunyang Palace more than ten years ago, you once said, 'If you have the help of an expert, Don't reveal his secret'?"
Sera blinked in confusion, "Do you still remember what was said more than ten years ago?"
"What's the meaning of this? What will happen if it is exposed?"
"Oh, I don't remember. Who knows what it means... What are you in a hurry? This is not like you."
"That's it." He Rongchuan's eager eyes dimmed slightly, and he was about to walk away, but he heard her muttering seemingly unintentionally: "Just now, Xiaochi Yang, I taught him a set of swordsmanship for self-cultivation, I just learned it, and I am practicing it under the tree. "
He Rongchuan: ...
Why is it so like telling yourself.
In the end, he went to watch Chi Yi practice his sword.
When Sera explained swordsmanship to him before, she said that some swordsmanship is for fighting the enemy, while others are for self-cultivation. Different swordsmanship will cultivate the body in different directions, and changing a few moves may even produce completely opposite effects.
He suddenly wanted to know, since Chi Yi begged Sera to teach him swordsmanship, what did he want to learn?
What does he... want to ask for?
He Rongchuan faintly had some false expectations in his heart.
He saw the figure under the tree from a distance, but he didn't dare to go forward immediately. Instead, he made a big circle and approached him from behind.
Standing behind the tree, he stared at the movement of swinging the sword, and compared it with the sword manual he had memorized one by one. Gradually, he discovered that the meanings of these actions seemed to point to the same direction, a direction that had just flashed through his mind, but was immediately denied by himself.
After reading it over and over again, he finally pieced together a complete sword manual from Chi Yi's scattered movements. This set of swordsmanship is called "Ruthless Style".
It's not that you can be ruthless if you practice it, but that the lonely heart is miserable, so you practice this set of swordsmanship, using the sword as a companion, to eliminate loneliness.
Lonely and miserable...
He Rongchuan's figure trembled slightly, he fell two steps to the side, supported the tree trunk, and with the strength of his fingers, he picked off a piece of bark.
Would a person like Chi Yi, who was active and smiling all day long, feel lonely?
But why didn't he say it out loud? I was by that person's side day and night, if I said I knew what was on his mind, it was all because of how afraid he was of killing him.
Since Chi Yi needs someone to accompany him, and he refuses to tell anyone about it, could it be that none of the people around him look down on him?
He didn't care about others, but...why did he count him in?
Because he always scolds him and punishes him, threatens to kill him, is ruthless and unwilling to show his sincerity?
He Rongchuan sneered, it has been so long, and Chi Yi's impression of himself has not changed. You can't blame him, after all, some things are ambiguous, and no one dares to risk their safety.
He suddenly had an impulse to rush directly in front of that person, throw away his sword with one hand, and pull him into his arms with the other.
Pinch his chin, forcing the person who always likes to bow his head to look at him, and then tell him word by word that not only will he not kill him, but he will not even hurt him at all. I can give him what he wants, and if he really needs it, then I am willing to give up all the aspirations that I used to live on.
Just like what Ariel taught him just now... if you give everything you have to the other party, you can always get something back, right?
However, it cannot be passed.
Taking the initiative to touch him at close range is equivalent to revealing his secret, what will happen after that? Sera didn't remember what she said. Could it be that she remembered it wrong? Was it a coincidence last time? Even if Chi Yi really wants to leave, he won't disappear out of thin air, so as long as he can see it, he doesn't have to worry about it?
While thinking wildly, he couldn't help walking towards that person, the closer he got, the slower his pace, but he didn't have time to get there. At this moment, Chi Yi stopped practicing his sword, turned around and saw him, with surprise in his eyes.
In this wild place, Chi Yi lost the restraint he had in the palace, and smiled at him, "Why are you here?"
This smile flashed in He Rongchuan's eyes, and he felt the impulsiveness just now rising again, but accompanied by it, the feeling of fear became more and more intense. The two forces tore him at a loss, and he couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chi Yi jumped into the halo of the protagonist, hooked his shoulders affectionately, and muttered casually: "I asked Sierra to teach me a set of swordsmanship to calm my mind, but I practiced as she said. After I got it, I didn’t feel stable at all, but felt restless, and I was kind to you when I saw you, and I wanted to take a bite..."
He Rongchuan raised his head suddenly, what Sera taught was the "ruthless style", but what Chi Yi wanted was peace of mind? In other words, Chi Yi didn't feel lonely, it was all imagined by himself?
It is conceivable that the reaction after this point is so real...
What did Chi Yi say just now? Feeling kind when you see yourself, want to take a bite?
——Is that what you understand?
Chi Yi grabbed his arm, dragged him back, and continued to think: "You have just recovered from a serious injury, and you will go deep into the enemy camp tomorrow. You are not allowed to run around in the middle of the night. You have to sleep well. I have to get up early tomorrow Well, those northerners are good at magic sounds, let me make you earplugs? But won’t you go back to the princess tent tonight? You already have a real mother, why do you still sleep with me every day..."
He Rongchuan: ...
The two went back to the tent together. These few days they lived in the same room, but they had to be far apart. Chi Yi was so sleepy after a day of tossing around, without changing his clothes, he fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep.
But He Rongchuan didn't feel sleepy at all, he didn't turn on the lamp, and waited for the person on the bed to breathe evenly in the dark, then sat down quietly.
He helped Chi Yi take off his shoes and socks, and covered him with a quilt. He was afraid of making the other party uncomfortable, so his movements were a little clumsy. Chi Yi was very cooperative, grabbed the corner of the quilt he handed over, wrapped himself into a silkworm chrysalis, and smirked at him in his dream.
He Rongchuan was bathed in fragmented starlight, and just kept looking at the person on the couch. Those eyes seemed to be looking at him, and at the same time seemed to be looking at the world of mortals, looking at the past years, and through his almost absurd actions, he could glimpse a little fire that ignited people's hearts.
When I return from the northern camp tomorrow, I have to say something to him. If it was delayed until he returned to the palace, he might remember that he was a "tyrant" again.
He Rongchuan thought so.
……
In the evening of the next day, Princess Ariel left the camp with a dozen of her compatriots and headed for the place agreed with the north.
The meeting was at the hill near the northern camp. Chi Yi mixed in with the team, but slipped out by himself when approaching the hill. He followed the directions given by the spies and found a thatched cottage not far away.
The room was not big, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and there were four or five people guarding it. Chi Yi was alone, and Sera later agreed to send him a few helpers, but he rejected them all.
He took a few deep breaths, then pretended to be passing by, quietly took out the brightly colored purse when he walked to the house, and suddenly opened his mouth——
"What kind of smell... so, so smelly..."
"Woooooooo..."
The last time he only put a little smell of stinky tofu, it made a dozen people dizzy, but this time he simply poured out the rest. Only he is immune to this smell, which is why he refuses to let his followers follow him.
While the guards were coughing, he followed the method He Rongchuan taught him to find the acupuncture point and knocked the guards unconscious. Then he broke into the thatched hut, and sure enough there was a man wearing the clothes of Gu Guo. When she smelled the smell outside, she also burst into tears immediately.
Chi Yi stepped forward to pick her up, the guards were completely unconscious, and he quickly left from the main entrance.
At this moment, he recognized the person in front of him. I thought that before the pure Chinese people agreed to the peace negotiation so readily, it was because they had some kind of handle in their hands, such as arresting some important person...
——But isn’t this person the aunt who forgot to return to the building to cook? !
