Duan Feibai watched the little red horse rub its head against Tao Jingyi's chin affectionately, the light in his eyes could not help but soften a bit: "Since this horse is destined for Miss Tao, why don't I give it to Miss Tao."
Using her mount as a favor would really take advantage. Tao Jingyi curled his lips and said, "Thank you so much Mr. Duan."
"No thanks." The corners of Duan Feibai's lips curved.
The disciples of the Tianshan School brought over a new horse. This horse was black and taller than the little red horse. It stood next to Duan Feibai, one black and one white, very conspicuous.
There was something on the horse's back, wrapped in blue silk and satin, judging from its shape, it should be Duan Feibai's piano.
Tao Jingyi's eyes fell on Qin, and the light in his eyes flickered.
Duan Feibai said: "I heard that Mr. Gui last appeared in Los Angeles, are you two planning to go to Los Angeles?"
Young Master Gui has not long been famous in the world, but his reputation for bloodthirsty has spread widely. According to rumors, he is elusive, and no one has ever seen his true face. This time, the target of hunting was chosen as Mr. Gui, because it was hard to find his trace, which further tested the strategy and reconnaissance ability of the leader candidate.
If you want to hunt and kill Gui Gongzi, sneaking into the Puppet Villa is the most unwise choice. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Puppet Villa, there are countless puppets, it can be said that there is no return. So the best choice is to kill Mr. Gui while he is out and helpless.
Dongfang Yue nodded slightly: "I don't know what advice Mr. Duan has."
"I can't talk about advice, it's just that Mr. Gui is scheming, powerful in martial arts, and good at puppet art. Therefore, Duan suggested that you and I should cooperate to kill Mr. Gui. As for how to divide his head in the end, it is natural." Everyone is fighting for each according to their ability, what does Mr. Dongfang think?"
Tao Jingyi glanced at Duan Feibai in surprise. This person would not change his face when he scolded him. His acting skills were at the level of a movie star in her era.
Dongfang Yue's expression didn't change much, and her voice still couldn't hear the waves: "There has been a long-standing rift between Tianshan School and Xijian Pavilion. Mr. Duan proposed cooperation, isn't it afraid that I will turn back on what I said in the end?"
"Young Master Dongfang is a gentleman, Duan is naturally trustworthy."
Tao Jingyi saw the two men circling back and forth with a fake look on his face, so he couldn't help covering his cheeks, suffering from a toothache.
Dongfang Yue glanced at her, and actually threw the question to her directly: "What do you think, Junior Sister?"
Duan Feibai was also looking at her, with burning intent in his eyes.
Tao Jingyi struggled: "This..."
She is not very willing to go with Duan Feibai. Speaking of it, now that the misunderstanding between her and Duan Feibai has been resolved, Duan Feibai will not be like before, always thinking about how to cut her into pieces. However, she was still a little afraid of him, afraid of his burning eyes, afraid of his lingering love words.
She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back. Why can't stand it, but dare not go into the deep reason.
Just like she didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, why the sword that stabbed him, held in her hand, would generate scorching heat, making her arms tremble.
But she worked so hard to get the top five rankings, not just to get close to him and steal his piano sword.
Duan Feibai's proposal to go with her was exactly what she wanted.
Tao Jingyi's thoughts were in a mess, and he struggled for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face.
Dongfang Yue and Duan Feibai didn't urge her either, the two men were waiting, waiting for her decision.
In the end, Tao Jingyi decided to agree to Duan Feibai's proposal.
Because, she did not forget her purpose, got the piano and sword, and went home.
After Tao Jingyi nodded, Duan Feibai's eyes lit up a little bit visibly. Tao Jingyi avoided his gaze, she was afraid, Duan Feibai could see the guilt hidden in her eyes.
Tao Jingyi got on his horse, Dongfang Yue and Duan Feibai also got on their horses, and followed closely behind.
Three people and three riders, bathed in sunlight, left in the dust.
The weather was still sunny in the morning, but by noon, there was a tendency of rain. A large cloud gathered together, the sky was getting lower and lower, and there was a dull atmosphere in the air.
Seeing that a heavy rain was about to pour down, Tao Jingyi turned his head to Dongfang Yue and said, "Brother, why don't we find a place to stay and wait for the rain to pass before leaving."
Dongfang Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
It's just that in this wilderness, there are lush vegetation everywhere, and there is no half a house in sight.
The three speeded up, hoping to find a tile to cover themselves before it rained. It's a pity that the sky didn't follow people's wishes, and the heavy rain came as soon as it was said. After a while, the sky was already dark, and the raindrops fell from the clouds and fell on the three of them.
Accompanied by the heavy rain, there were gusts of gusts of wind, and the wind and rain hit his face, and Tao Jingyi seemed to be unable to open his eyes. The horse under the seat raised its hooves high, and when it fell back to the puddle on the ground, it splashed a lot of muddy water, and the muddy water stained the hem of the clothes of the three of them mottled.
Tao Jingyi and Dongfang Yue were fine, both of them were wearing light-colored clothes, but Duan Feibai was dressed in white, and the hem of his clothes, which was originally spotless, was now covered with a little bit of mud, looking really embarrassed.
"There is a family in front." Duan Feibai has good eyesight, and soon found a section of blue eaves hidden in the gloomy sky.
"Let's go." Dongfang Yue raised the whip and landed on the horse's buttocks. The steed neighed long, its hoofs were like the wind, and it carried him galloping towards the place Duan Feibai said.
It was a dilapidated house, the walls of the courtyard had collapsed, and the courtyard was full of weeds. However, for them at this time, it is already a great gift to have a tile to cover the rain.
Dongfang Yue drove her horse to stop in front of the gate, got off her horse, and walked to the gate first, with a vigilant expression on her face.
After all, he is a person from Jianghu, and there are traps everywhere, especially in this seemingly deserted wilderness, where deadly murderous intentions are often hidden.
Tao Jingyi also got off the horse, because the rain was fierce, and the place where the heavy rain washed away formed streams of water. Below the water flow, there was a small puddle. Tao Jingyi didn't pay attention, and stepped on the puddle. Li, sprained a bit.
Because of the severe pain, she subconsciously let out a scream, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably. Fortunately, Duan Feibai was at the side and reached out to support her in time.
"Are you all right?" he said. The rain was so loud that it almost drowned out his voice.
Dongfang Yue pushed open the rusty and mottled gate. Behind the gate was a patch of overgrown weeds. Under the long corridor, a horse was tied to a pillar.
"Someone." Dongfang Yue frowned.
"It should be the same as us. They are here to hide from the rain, so go in first." Duan Feibai said in a deep voice. Because he noticed that Tao Jingyi's face had completely lost all color. It seemed that she had hurt her foot just now.
Dongfang Yue also noticed something was wrong with Tao Jingyi, and asked, "Junior Sister, how are you doing?"
"The foot hurts." Tao Jingyi whispered. She didn't delay her on purpose, the pit was too hidden, and the rain was so heavy that her eyes were blurred, so it's normal that she didn't see it.
"I'll take Miss Tao in, Mr. Dongfang, please take the lead." Duan Feibai just finished speaking, before Tao Jingyi agreed, he bent over and hugged her in his arms.
Tao Jingyi was caught off guard, and raised his head. Although there were raindrops separating him, it couldn't stop the burning intent in Duan Feibai's eyes.
He even smiled at her a bit.
At present, it is not known whether the people in the house are friends or foes. It is normal for Duan Feibai to make such a suggestion. Besides, Dongfang Yue seems to have been avoiding physical contact with Tao Jingyi, and the only one who can hug Tao Jingyi is Duan Feibai.
Dongfang Yue walked in front, Duan Feibai followed behind. Both his mount and the little red horse understood human nature, and they followed spontaneously without being led.
Dongfang Yue put her hand on her waist and walked towards the hall step by step. When there were only about ten steps away from the hall, a slim figure suddenly stepped out from the hall.
The moment their gazes collided, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Shen." Dongfang Yue let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword instantly, and greeted her.
Since it is Shen Rou, then there is no need to worry about traps. Dongfang Yue walked in first, followed by Duan Feibai.
The rain did not decrease in the slightest, instead it became heavier and heavier. There was a piece of candle burning in the hall, which Shen Rou found from other rooms.
This house has been abandoned for many years. The furniture in the house has been eaten by insects and ants, and most of the roof is broken. Only the hall is intact and can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain.
After entering the hall, Tao Jingyi whispered in embarrassment: "Mr. Duan, let me down."
Duan Feibai reluctantly put her on the intact chair in the hall. After putting her down, he felt empty in his arms, as if something was missing.
A bonfire was burning in the hall, and the flames danced, reflecting Tao Jingyi's cheeks.
After a heavy rain, the veil on her face had already fallen off while riding a horse, and the ugly mask couldn't stick to it, and slowly slipped down. Anyway, Duan Feibai already knew her true identity, so Tao Jingyi simply tore off the ugly mask.
During the whole process, Shen Rou kept looking at her. It can even be said that since Duan Feibai carried her in, her gaze never left Tao Jingyi.
Tao Jingyi threw the mask into the fire, raised his head, smiled at Shen Rou, and said, "Miss Shen has been hiding here from the rain?"
Only then did Shen Rou come back to her senses, and replied, "I've only arrived not long ago, too."
"Miss Shen is going to be wronged tonight, and she's huddled with us." Tao Jingyi laughed.
Shen Rou didn't speak, she was still in doubt, but she didn't show anything on her face.
Duan Feibai said to Tao Jingyi: "Your clothes are all wet, take them off first, dry them before putting them on, so as not to catch a cold."
His tone couldn't be more normal, as if there had never been a barrier between the two of them, and his attitude was a little more intimate.
Tao Jingyi took off his outer shirt casually, Duan Feibai took it over naturally, and put it on the rack beside the fire to bake.
After drying the clothes, he walked back to Tao Jingyi, squatted down, and took off her shoes and socks.
Tao Jingyi jumped in fright, retracted his foot like an electric shock, and said in shock, "What are you doing?"
"Your foot is injured and needs to be treated promptly."
"I'm fine, I don't need treatment." Tao Jingyi never forgot how Duan Feibai "ravaged" her feet back then.
"Your face turned pale, and you said you're fine. Could it be that you want to be a little lame in the future?" Duan Feibai's tone was half coaxing, half threatening.
Of course she didn't want to be crippled. Of the people present, only Duan Feibai knew medical skills, and it was safest for him to come to treat him, so Dongfang Yue, as a big brother, didn't object.
Tao Jingyi pursed his lips.
She was drenched all over, the clothes that were tightly attached to her body outlined an exquisite curve, her jet-black hair was draped wetly on her back, and the tiny stream of water dripped down along the curve, slowly forming a puddle on the ground .
Duan Feibai's eyes glanced over her curves, and suddenly met hers.
Tao Jingyi's eyeballs were black and white, washed by the rain, they were translucent and energetic, and he was looking at him without blinking, shining with a stubborn light.
A flash of light flashed in Duan Feibai's mind, and he suddenly said, "Could it be that Miss Tao is...afraid of pain?"
Tao Jingyi didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
Duan Feibai understood, smiled lightly and said, "It won't hurt, I promise."
Tao Jingyi obviously didn't believe it at all, she twisted her foot once when she just put it on, Duan Feibai's technique was more painful than gouging out her foot with a knife.
"Well, if I hurt you, you can stab me with this sword." The palm of his hand sank suddenly, it turned out that it was Duan Feibai who untied the Love Severing Sword from his waist and put it in her hand.
The author has something to say:
Tao Tao: Should I grab this sword and run away, wait online, hurry up!
