Chapter 115 The deep meaning of his gift of dried flowers
"This, this place was just robbed!"

The blood on Si Rongbang's face lost all color. He saw an index finger embedded in the soil and covered with soil!
If Cui Xingjue hadn't told everyone to stop just now, they might have missed it and rushed up the mountain!
Chen Chiyan looked at Tianfeng Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and said to the young man beside him: "Young Master Cui, those mountain bandits may have received the news that we would come to pick up the bark, and they deliberately hid the scene of the killing so that we can get rid of it." Rush up the mountain and catch them all!"

Cui Xingjue took out the map, which only recorded the places where the mulberry trees grew vigorously, but they didn't have a specific topographic map of the entire mountain range. If they really fought with the bandits who were familiar with the mountains, they might not be able to win.

"Rest here for one night first." He led the horse towards the big tree on one side.

Chen Chiyan followed him, "The bandits should be watching us secretly at this time, if we stop here tonight, we will definitely be attacked!"

"Coach Chen's words are reasonable!" Si Rongbang agreed.

Cui Xingjue tied the reins to a tree, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Then why don't we kill it now?"

He said this easily, as simple as asking what to eat tonight.

Si Rongbang: "..."

Chen Chiyan: "..."

That's not what they mean!
Chen Chiyan's fist loosened and tightened, "Young Master Cui, that's not what we two meant!"

"That's it?" Cui Xingjue casually raised his eyebrows.

That leisurely attitude can irritate people to death, and can make people anxious to death.

Si Rongbang took a deep breath, "We mean, should we find another place to rest, so as to avoid bandits attacking in the middle of the night!"

"That's right!" Chen Chiyan nodded, "We are not familiar with the terrain of Tianfeng Mountain, and we don't even know the number of bandits. If the two sides fight, we will be the losers!"

He didn't believe this truth, this young man who led troops to the battlefield at the age of 13 to repel the invasion of foreigners didn't understand!
Cui Xingjue raised his finger and pointed to the loess where there was no end in sight and no people in sight.

"There is loess for hundreds of miles here, and there is no human habitation. Why do the government in the nearby city ignore these bandits? You two should know why after thinking about it."

"Even if we find another safe place to settle down tonight, we still have to come back to face these bandits tomorrow. We will face them sooner or later. Why waste more time and energy?"

What's more, they don't have much time, and he also knows that when the battlefield is approaching, the most taboo thing is to hesitate and retreat. Firstly, it will consume the soldiers' physical strength, and secondly, it will damage the morale of the soldiers.

Si Rongbang and Chen Chiyan looked at the long loess and fell silent.

They didn't think as much and as carefully as Cui Xingjue did. They only focused on escaping to escape tonight's catastrophe, but they forgot their main purpose of coming to Tianfeng Mountain.

At any rate, he was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield. Thinking of his timid behavior just now, Chen Chiyan was more or less ashamed.

"Young Master Cui is still thoughtful, so what should we do tonight?"

Cui Xingjue was silent for a while, leaving a word.

"Eat less, stay awake, preserve your strength, and stay calm."

Chen Chiyan and Si Rongbang looked at each other, and they both saw the unknown in each other's eyes.

I still want to ask why, but people have already gone far.

"Mr. Chen, is Mr. Cui's words reliable?"

"I don't know, but I have heard that he has led troops to fight thirteen battles, and he has won many battles, and he has twice as many soldiers as the enemy."

Si Rongbang was stunned, he had only heard all kinds of miraculous rumors about Cui Xingjue in the article, but he never knew that this person was actually both civil and military.

Apart from being less talkative, more irritating, colder, and unpredictable, both in appearance and talent are first-class, why does Miss Chi still want to make peace with this person?

He felt that Miss Chi was a little ignorant.

Damn!

No, no, he is on Miss Chi's side!

How could you think of Miss Chi like that!

Almost defecting, Si Rongbang shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his head.

……

When he came to No Man's Land, Cui Xingjue raised his head, and the orange-red sunset slanted, hitting his deep-lined profile, leaving a light shadow.

The falcon hovered on his shoulders, and the setting sun elongated the figures of a man and a beast.

Taking off the black cloth strips tied to the bird's paws, he unfolded them and picked up five green pear blossom leaves that had lost their moisture a bit.

What do you mean?
Why did Chi Ning give him five green leaves in return?

He looked carefully at the five green leaves like never before, trying not to miss any clues, but he still found nothing.

Five green leaves are five green leaves, there is no writing on them, and there is no pattern with any special meaning.

He turned his head and asked Saker, "Did she receive the dried flowers?"

"Grunt" Saker responded.

"Since I received it, why give me back five green leaves?"

He furrowed his brows deeply, and a feeling of disappointment spread in his chest until he tasted a bit of bitterness in his mouth.

Did Chi Ning refuse?
Or did she not know the deep meaning of his gift of dried flowers?

Impossible, Dayuan knows everything from babbling children to white-haired old people. Anyone who is not a fool will know the meaning of giving dried flowers.

Holding the five green leaves tightly, his fingertips still retained a trace of sanity, and he shook off the Saker falcon on his shoulder.

Saker seemed to sense his emotional ups and downs, and flew high into the sky without daring to linger.

Cui Xingjue couldn't comprehend the deep meaning of the five green leaves, suppressed the thought of going back to Yundu, and returned to where everyone was staying.

He found a fairly clean boulder and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes against the cold wave, and straightened his back, as if he had been in Zen.

Si Rongbang came over with some dry biscuits and a water bag, "Master Cui, do you want something to eat?"

The young man in Xuanyi who was meditating was unmoved, he didn't even move his eyelids.

Fall asleep so soon?
Didn't you tell me to stay awake?

Si Rongbang took a bite of the dry biscuit. The two had known each other for a long time, but they knew that Cui Xingjue's meditation meant that he was about to fall asleep.

At first, I thought that Cui Xingjue couldn't put his face and identity on the ground, but after getting to know him over time, this is not the case.

This young man can meditate and fall asleep, which is so miraculous that he doesn't seem like a human being.

Did he meditate and fall asleep when he was with Miss Chi?
Realizing that his thinking was wrong, Si Rongbang patted his forehead vigorously.

Do not think evil!Do not think evil!
When Si Rongbang was about to leave lightly, Cui Xingjue opened his mouth without opening his eyes.

"What did she say to you on the day you left Yundu?"

Si Rongbang paused with his quietly raised foot, turned his head, looked at the motionless person, and said in embarrassment: "No, I didn't say anything!"

"I'm not blind." Cui Xingjue's thin lips moved.

Obviously the other party didn't open his eyes, spoke in a flat tone, and didn't make any movements, but Si Rongbang felt a heavy oppression, which made him a little out of breath, and made him feel deeply terrified!
