Chapter 195: Dust Like Yesterday (Supplement)

Jiang Xuening felt that Xie Wei did not seem to be quite right.

She was just a joking remark, but when he answered like this, it seemed to add a heavy shadow. But on second thought, there's actually nothing wrong with it.

After all, what is said is the truth.

When she was taken back to the capital from Tianzhuang, Xie Wei accompanied her. The difference was that she only went home, while Xie Wei remained anonymous and wanted to quietly enter the capital to help Shen Lang seize the throne.

===Kunning Section 243===

Naturally, no one would spend Zhou Zhang to kill her.

The one who stabbed and caused trouble halfway back clearly aimed at Xie Wei.

Two years ago, she accidentally got involved in Xie Wei's establishment of a bureau to eradicate the Heavenly Cult. On the way back from Tongzhou to Beijing, the group was also assassinated.

Of course, these martyrs are just not here for Jiang Xuening.

They all came for the "destined prince" who was favored by heaven and survived by chance.

As for this time, she pondered around and felt that she had not offended anyone. If she had gone to the border alone, she wouldn't have caught anyone's attention.

The bad thing lies in being on the same path as Xie Wei.

With this in mind, her eyebrows furrowed tighter and she couldn't help but say, "Do you know who's going to kill you?"

Xie Wei continued walking forward with his bow and arrow on his back, saying, "There are too many people trying to kill me."

Jiang Xuening said silently, "What about this time? The people from Dao Qin's Heavenly Sect..."

No, it's not right.

Dao Qin didn't say that.

At this moment, a tense string in her mind suddenly trembled, causing her to shiver with excitement, as if she had been thrown into ice water, and suddenly regained consciousness.

In the previous critical moment, what Dao Qin said was not "there could never be such a powerful archer in the Heavenly Sect", but "there could never be such a powerful archer in the sect"!

Tianjiao, Jiaozhong.

A word difference, but the profound meaning hidden inside is thousands of miles apart!

Who would say "teaching in the middle" instead of "heavenly teaching"?

Jiang Xuening's eyelids jumped up and looked at Xie Wei walking in front of her.

Xie Wei seemed to have not noticed the great shock hidden beneath her sudden words, or perhaps didn't care at all. He only said, "The rat generation in the martial arts world hides their heads and tails, and cannot raise such elite. In all calculations, they are closely related to the court. It doesn't matter who they are, and if they are all killed, there won't be any fish in the net."

"..."

Jiang Xuening couldn't speak.

Xie Wei smiled ahead and said, "I thought you knew my true face."

Understanding leads to understanding, but one may vaguely know and hear with one's own ears, but the feeling is not the same.

Jiang Xuening is unwilling to learn more about him.

The more you know, the deeper the danger. In the previous life, she had already been involved in too much conflict. In this life, after saving the princess, there was nothing else to ask for.

She looked at the dense forests around her, but couldn't see the road at all. She felt a bit anxious and calmly changed the topic, saying, "Aren't we going back?"

Xie Wei said, "There is no one in the carriage, they will eventually discover it. Just a quick calculation will tell when we fled, and we will set up a trap on the previous road. Turning back will lead us to fall into the trap."

Jiang Xuening frowned and said, "So where are we going?"

Xie Wei said, "Jinan Prefecture."

Jiang Xuening frowned deeper and couldn't help but suspect, "Sir, do you know the way?"

Xie Wei broke a branch that was blocking the road ahead and calmly said, "To the north of Tai'an is Jinan, just cross this mountain and wilderness. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, we lean towards the Tiger Mountain."

Jiang Xuening was completely speechless.

Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, leaning towards the Tiger Mountain?

God knows if he accidentally died in the tiger's belly!

Traveling in the mountains in late autumn is not an easy task, let alone looking around. The jungle is dense, the wind is howling, the mountains are rugged and steep, and walking for less than a long time can make people pant and exhausted.

Xie Wei has long hands and feet, leading the way ahead.

At first, Jiang Xuening said a few words to him, but later on, she was neither in the mood nor in the strength. In just two minutes, a layer of sweat had already oozed from his forehead. He had to walk up and down, struggling step by step with the footprints left by Xie Wei in front of him.

The mountains and fields in the late night are silent.

The dead branches and decaying leaves lay a thick layer in the forest, allowing half of a foot to sink in the shallow areas, while half of a person's leg can be buried in the deep.

The sound of their marching was infinitely amplified in the silence.

Sometimes it even makes people suspect that it's not their own voice, but something else following behind them.

This feeling is particularly familiar.

Jiang Xuening thought she had forgotten for a long time, but when the same situation, similar situation, came back, the memories of the past that were unbearable and trivial would emerge from a corner that had been covered by darkness for a long time.

Like a reef exposed after the tide has receded.

Although he has changed his original shape and even moved his original position under the erosion of flowing water and the accumulation of dust and sand, he is still, always, and never disappears.

Only when there is no more worldly interference between heaven and earth, and the whole person is shrouded in terrifying nature, can one truly realize one's own insignificance and face one's deeply wounded heart with sincerity.

Xie Wei hasn't heard her speak for a while.

I can only hear the sound of walking deep and shallow behind my back, sometimes closer and sometimes farther.

And the gradually noticeable panting.

I never heard any of her requests to "slow down" or "wait a moment".

She just tried her best to keep up with his footsteps.

Xie Wei felt as if he had gone back to that time.

He turned to look at her.

Jiang Xuening fell behind. The originally exquisite clothes were slightly torn by the thorns and branches around them while walking, showing a bit of embarrassment, and the combed black hair also fell in a few messy strands. She picked up a wooden stick and used it as a crutch in her hand, but after all, she was not as tall as him and did not have a particularly strong physique, making it particularly difficult to walk. He gritted his teeth tightly and supported himself with an unyielding pride in his bones.

Like a wild grass in the wilderness.

Silence, resilience.

That demeanor easily overlapped with the girl who was once anxious and proud.

Compared to six years ago, she has only grown taller and more open.

Actually, there hasn't been any real change.

But Xie Wei suddenly thought to himself: she should have been a flower in the garden, not a grass on the ground.

As she approached, a tall tree shadow loomed over her head, blocking out the already scarce starlight in the bleak night. Jiang Xuening couldn't help but feel a bit unclear under her feet, so she stumbled on the root of a nearby tree that protruded from the ground.

Xie Wei reached out and helped her.

Grip your palms together.

Everything seems to be as before.

But at that time, she would tightly purse her lips, frown, and rather fall to the ground than brush away his hand; And now, the little girl who grew up just looked up at him, remained silent for a moment, and said to him, "Thank you."

Seemingly unchanged, it seems like something is quietly circulating.

The next journey inexplicably became quieter.

Both of them had their own thoughts and remained silent.

Sometimes when walking fast, Xie Wei would stop and wait for a moment; Jiang Xuening doesn't just show off her strength. If there are any mountain slopes or ravines that she can't cross, she will grab the hand handed over by Xie Wei and try not to slow down her journey.

Xie Wei said to climb over this mountain range before it snows.

Jiang Xuening then remembered what Dao Qin had said before, that she would rush to the border before it snowed.

When Dao Qin spoke, she didn't think deeply;

However, when Xie Wei uttered similar words, she had a somewhat pessimistic guess.

Xie Wei didn't give any explanation, but another slanted branch blocked the way ahead. He reached out his hand and just as he broke the branch, he heard a rustling sound and something hissed.

Almost simultaneously, there was a sharp stabbing pain coming from the index finger of the right hand near the palm of the hand.

His pupils tightened sharply.

Something bit him, but in the darkness, he didn't make any sound. He just grabbed the sharp cut of the broken branch and forcefully thrust it into the cold and soft body, making a faint "hiss" sound.

Jiang Xuening walked behind and didn't see anything, only asking, "What's wrong, sir?"

Xie Wei was afraid of scaring her and threw that thing away.

He only said, "It's okay."

The two of them walked forward for a little two hours, after all, they were just flesh and blood, and over time they would also feel tired.

Fortunately, the mountain ahead has finally climbed over.

Jiang Xuening followed Xie Wei out of the forest and saw a deep valley between two mountains, with a clear stream winding down from a distance. The east has lit up its fish belly white, and the subtle morning light falls from the shadows of the trees. The thin mist floats like a veil, as if it has transformed into a fairyland outside the world in the eyes of those who have been walking hard.

She was overjoyed and immediately ran down, squatting by the stream, bowing a handful of water and pouring it onto her stained cheeks, sighing comfortably.

Then I remembered Xie Wei.

Turning around, he shouted, "Sir, we'll rest here - sir?"

Xie Wei did not follow over.

When Jiang Xuening turned his head, he only saw him sitting against a bare rock on the hillside, with his eyes closed. I heard her voice but didn't open my eyes to look.

After waiting for a moment, he still sat still.

Jiang Xuening walked back and climbed the mountain slope, shouting again, "Sir?"

Xie Wei lightly raised his eyelids.

The newly emerged sky shone on his face, revealing a sickly pallor.

Jiang Xuening almost thought he was asleep and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder, only to suddenly see two deep red blood holes hanging on his right index finger on his knee!

At this moment, Jiang Xuening felt a piercing chill.

The cold stream slid down her cheeks.

She quietly gazed at the calm face in front of her, feeling a hint of almost panic like sadness. After a moment of pause, she finally realized and almost trembled as she held Xie Wei's palm, took his index finger into her mouth, and sucked hard.

The blood hole suddenly emitted a salty and fishy smell.

She took a small sip and spat out towards the side.

My heart was flustered for no reason.

===Kunning Section 244===

Xie Wei's eyelashes twitched and he calmly opened his eyes, looking at her. However, without any ups and downs, he said, "Are you still very afraid of dead people?"

Jiang Xuening suddenly froze.

Her lips were slightly cold, but the tip of her tongue was warm. She lifted her head at this moment, only facing her deep and clear pupils. There was no snake venom or coma at all!

"You!"

In an instant, she looked like the person who had been bitten by a snake. She immediately threw away his hand, retreated to the side, and looked at him with caution and anger.

Xie Wei slowly withdrew his hand.

There is still a little warmth left in the fingers.

His gaze fell on Jiang Xuening and did not move away, but he opened his mouth heavily and swallowed the wound. After tasting a hint of blood on his tongue, he slowly said, "Didn't that wandering doctor and swindler teach you how to distinguish? It's not poisonous."

This is mocking her foolish act of cutting her wrist and feeding blood back then!

Jiang Xuening's chest was heaving and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Xie Wei's gaze, on the other hand, gave her a chilling feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake. Even his voice had a chilling coldness: "I am your master. Although I have forbidden the desire for a banquet and have devoted myself to the study of Buddhism and the elderly, I am not a saint. In the wilderness, people are like beasts. If you still want to marry a good person and do not want to be silenced by me afterwards, I advise you to stay away from me."

Jiang Xuening is not a fool. Just listening to the four words "desire for a beautiful banquet" makes her eyelids skip a beat.

However, people are prone to rebellion when they reach their limits.

Fear to the extreme becomes anger.

It's all fallen into this kind of land now. The person surnamed Xie hasn't even spoken a word yet. The energy all over her body looks like the word "work", and she doesn't know which muscle is twisted against which bone. She sneered and said, "Really? Mr. Xie is very good at cultivating himself and his nature, but he's not good at anything else. His mouth and heart are really impressive. Don't worry, I don't know who sleeps who and who is at a disadvantage!"
