Chapter 222: Fire-Winged Snakes Walking Together
After blocking the royal road, Suzaku looked towards the direction where Zhao Changhe rode his horse away and sighed slightly.
She really wanted to follow and observe all the way, but it was a bit difficult.
It’s not just because Suzaku’s identity is inappropriate... but because she has a normal identity under her own mask and can’t disappear for too long, so it’s difficult to follow her even if she changes to a Winged Fire Snake.
In fact, Zhuque knew that Wang Daozhong would not take action personally under normal circumstances. It was also troublesome to be found out by the Demon Suppressor and the Cui family that he was the one who killed him. Therefore, Wang Daozhong should just come out to preside over the work, and may not take action personally. But if Suzaku dares to bet, his first reaction is to beat him back first.
However, calling back is only temporary, and others can continue after you leave. What if Wang Daozhong really wants to risk everything and attack Zhao Changhe shamelessly?
Forget it, you still have to follow him, especially since he is going north now and Xuanwu is also north, so it is better to take advantage of the situation and find Xuanwu.
As for the true identity... I have to go back first to show my face and make some arrangements. In fact, I am heading north, so I am just along the way.
Zhao Changhe slowed down his horse with some hesitation and walked away for less than half a cup of tea. The sound of wind passed behind him.
When I turned around, I saw it wasn’t a red bird, but a fire-winged snake...
Zhao Changhe thought it was normal. Suzaku had no free time to follow him all the time. That would be abnormal: "Little snake, has the Lord finally decided to let you have more contact with me?"
Suzaku was speechless: "Who are you calling little snake? I'm older than you."
"The little snake is cute after all. Should I call you old snake? Or give me your real name? We are so familiar with each other, so who can follow whom?"
Suzaku said angrily: "Whatever."
“Is this your real name? Then…pee?”
Suzaku flew up with a kick and swept across his waist.
Zhao Changhe lay back on his horse, the whip leg swept past his face, and the fragrant wind blew past the tip of his nose.
Originally, Zhao Changhe deliberately wanted to tease him by grabbing the leg...but he found that the speed was faster than expected and he caught some air.
Smile flashed in Suzaku's eyes, is it just you?
He actually started teasing me.
Seeing the way Zhao Changhe was fishing for air and doubting life, Suzaku said leisurely: "My Winged Fire Snake is also twenty-eight nights after all. Do you really think it's a cauliflower snake? You still want to tease me, please spare me. I'll go back and make a report. Don't say respect." Otherwise, I’m afraid the saint will bite you to death.”
Zhao Changhe said dullly: "Just kidding, I see you are nervous."
"You and I have just met each other. You don't even know what I look like, but you want to tease me." Suzaku said leisurely: "I don't know why a lecherous person like you would be so deeply in love with the Saint. It's really unbelievable. It makes sense. I am here to understand your shortcomings and report them all to the Holy Lady so that she can see your true face."
“That’s no need to bother, I’m full of shortcomings.”
“For example, two to five hundred and eighty thousand people are riding on horses, and I’m asked to walk by the side?”
Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "Then you should sit up."
“Think beautifully.”
"Forget it." Zhao Changhe got off the horse and walked with her: "If you don't get on the horse, it feels really impolite for me to ride."
Suzaku turned his head and glanced at him: "So do you think that having me is a burden?"
“To be honest, a little bit.”
The face under the Suzaku mask has upturned eyebrows and a somewhat evil look in his eyes.
Without my help, you would have been beaten to death by Wang Daozhong! He actually called me a burden!
But I heard Zhao Changhe continue: "Sometimes people are quite contradictory... I like the freedom of riding a horse alone and traveling three thousand miles alone, but I am also afraid of that kind of loneliness. There is nothing wrong with having someone to accompany me, no matter what. Men and women, regardless of strength.”
Zhuque believed this. Zhao Changhe was obviously a cheerful person who liked to make friends. Although he still didn't have many friends, that was because he didn't like many people, and he didn't like to be alone.
It's like the banquet hall of Wang's family, where hidden dragons gather, but the only one who can drink together is Situ Xiao.
Zhao Changhe added: "So it would be better if you were a man. At least there won't be so much hassle when two people ride together, so it won't be a burden."
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment.
Yes. When Luo Qi was still a "man", he was indeed more relaxed and at ease, but after he suspected that she was a woman, he became embarrassed.
Zhao Changhe also suddenly laughed: "Actually, many things just depend on what you think in your heart. When Yue Hongling and I shared the ride, it was extremely natural and neither of us was embarrassed."
Suzaku sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that you wanted to tease me as soon as we met, it wouldn't have been a big deal to share a ride. There are so many taboos among people in the world when they go out. But if you have a heart, what is normal has become dirty."
"That's right, I got carried away." Zhao Changhe said: "In that case, should I observe the courtesy now and ask the girl to get on the horse? If you sit behind me, I can't touch you."
Zhuque said: "If I sit behind you, aren't you afraid of me sneaking up on you?"
Zhao Changhe smiled: "You don't have to. If the Four Symbols Sect really wants to kill me, Lord Suzaku has already killed me several times. When will it be your turn to make a sneak attack? Get on your horse."
Speaking, he got on his horse and patted the horse's back as a signal.
Zhuque didn't hesitate, he got on the horse and sat on the back.
In her eyes, looking at Zhao Changhe is like looking at a child, there is so much and nothing left.
Zhao Changhe also felt much more at ease. He reined in his horse and walked, smiling: "If we say it is a burden, there is actually another one."
Suzaku was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"If you don't want to show your true face to others, then at least change a mask, or use a disguise or something... A Winged Fire Snake mask is everywhere in the world. Don't say it's inconvenient for me. Aren't you afraid that the righteous way will cause trouble for your Four Symbols Sect? You used to live a normal life in your true appearance, and only acted with the sect identity you represented when there were important matters for the sect. What does this mean now?”
Zhuque secretly thought that this was true, but it was a pity that her true appearance could not be shown to others, and she did not know how to think about the magical disguise technique, so she could only consider changing to a mask that had nothing to do with the Four Symbols Cult. In fact, it would be weird for any normal person to wear a mask on the street.
Seeing her silence, Zhao Changhe roughly guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile, "How about changing the mask?"
"Um."
“Let’s go buy a mask.” Zhao Changhe laughed and speeded up his horse: “Sit tight!”
Wuzhai hissed and accelerated instantly.
Looking behind me, I saw that the body of the "Winged Fire Snake" was extremely stable. She didn't even lean back slightly due to the sudden acceleration, and it felt like there was no sudden rein in the horse to push her forward.
Zhao Changhe was a little puzzled.
He never thought that it was Suzaku. It had a different sound and even a different scent. More importantly, he never thought that the superior Suzaku in his mind would come to play this trick. But the Winged Fire Snake in his mind originally was at the Wandongliu level, which was about the sixth and seventh level of Xuan Guan. Since he was not on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, even if he was both at the sixth and seventh level of Xuan Guan, his actual level should be far inferior to Wan Dongliu.
But with the kick he just whipped and his body control now, he looks like a master.
He couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what kind of practice do you do?"
Suzaku said leisurely: "The ninth level of the entrance."
"Grass!" Zhao Changhe said angrily: "At this level, you tell me, 'Which list has seen my Fire Winged Snake?'"
His voice was a little blurred by the wind blowing against his face, and he could feel the depression of him who thought he was a small burden but found out that he was the burden. Suzaku thought it was funny: "But I really haven't been on any rankings. Well, it’s me who is challenged by people on your Qianlong list. Your stepping stone to fame is so pitiful..."
“I don’t hear the pity in your tone at all, you are obviously joking.”
"You just thought you brought Cui Yuanyang, but it turned out to be Yue Hongling. The person who wanted to be the big brother suddenly turned into the stinky little brother." Suzaku said leisurely: "However, the most important reason why the venerable sent me to follow you is for protection. Otherwise, if you die, the strange horoscope will be difficult to understand, and the Master will not be able to sleep. I really think it is to understand you, please stop being so beautiful. "
"If Wang Daozhong really comes to kill me, you won't be able to protect me." Zhao Changhe muttered with a sullen face, stopped talking, and just rode his horse with his head down.
Zhuque was too lazy to argue and remained silent, leisurely enjoying the wind of galloping horses behind him.
This feeling of riding a horse with a little man makes people unexpectedly feel young.
The wind blew past my ears, which was very comfortable.
In fact, I haven’t traveled so casually and relaxedly for many years... Every time I go out, I always rush to do important things in teaching, my face is full of anger, and my actions must be to hurt others.
What a pity, the mask on my face blocked the wind, so I couldn’t feel it at all, it seemed like a false experience.
Everywhere in this life, you wear a mask, no matter your identity.
