”Really?”

　　Gu Sheng’s hand was still on the hilt of Zhao Yun’s sword, staring at Qi Yan without blinking.

　　Qi Yan: …

　　Qi Yan did not reply to the other party’s question, and stared at the two people in front of him in silence.

　　He has said everything he should say and done everything he should do. It’s up to them to believe or not.

　　Gu Sheng’s face was expressionless, but thinking back to what Qi Yan had done before, he began to hesitate again.

　　It must be admitted that Gu Sheng still retained some trust in Qi Yan.

　　Unable to make up his mind, Gu Sheng turned his head to look at Jiang Yun again.

　　”Boss, what do you think?”

　　The matter of the map fragments is of great importance. If the fact that this thing is in their hands is really spread by Qi Yan, then it will not only be Jiuzhou Hall that will come to them.

　　”No problem.” Jiang Yun thought for a moment and shook his head, holding Gu Sheng’s hand on the hilt and moving away.

　　”Shua!”

　　The half-shot Zhao Yun automatically retracted into the sheath. Gu Sheng didn’t understand what Jiang Yun was thinking, but he still followed his words and didn’t embarrass Qi Yan.

　　”Since the boss said so, I won’t pursue this matter for now.”

　　Gu Sheng held the sword again in his hand, thinking of what the other party had said before, and subconsciously looked around, and asked in a low voice:

　　”You just said that the group of people’s target was the map fragments on me and the boss?”

　　Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he seemed to have gained the trust of the two people, and nodded: “Yes.”

　　”After they surrounded me, I heard those people discussing the map fragments. Although they said it very obscurely, but…”

　　Qi Yan lowered his eyes.

　　He just knew.

　　”Thank you for telling me, brother Qi, if you have nothing else to do, the boss and I will leave first.”

　　Qi Yan didn’t continue to explain, and Gu Sheng didn’t have time to ask more. If what the other party said was true, then they couldn’t stay in Fengcheng for long.

　　Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun looked at each other.

　　But where can they go now outside Fengcheng?

　　It’s not okay to go back to the previous residence, where they can’t stay for a long time, and the journey is long, and they might meet people who are looking for them on the way.

　　Why not go to the capital? But the timing doesn’t seem right.

　　But at the moment, it seems that there is no other choice.

　　Qi Yan saw that the two of them were speechless and didn’t seem to leave immediately, so he was silent for a few seconds and then spoke again: “I knew before that you two were not native to Fengcheng. You are so hesitant now, are you thinking about where to live?”

　　Gu Sheng looked up at him and didn’t answer. Qi Yan took it as his acquiescence and made an invitation on his own. “I’m afraid you can’t stay here in Fengcheng anymore, why don’t you follow me first.”

　　Qi Yan subconsciously waved his folding fan under Gu Sheng’s suspicious gaze, and then took it back when it was about to fall apart.

　　”My residence in Fengcheng is very remote. If they don’t send someone to follow you, follow me, at least today, you will have a peaceful night.”

　　Gu Sheng blinked, but didn’t move: “What’s next?”

　　”After that…” Qi Yan thought about it and told him his other residence.

　　”Although I am not in the capital, I have a house there, and someone will come to clean it regularly. If you don’t mind, you can go to the capital with me after tonight to hide.”

　　”This is a thank you gift for saving me just now, how about it?”

　　Gu Sheng: …

　　Gu Sheng looked at Qi Yan with even more suspicion. He did not forget that to Qi Yan, he and Jiang Yun were strangers who had only met a few times.

　　Even if Qi Yan was really so “kind”, he did not believe that he could do so.

　　”No…” No need.

　　”Okay.”

　　Gu Sheng was about to refuse the other party, but heard Jiang Yun directly agreed.

　　”Boss?”

　　He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yun in shock, and he couldn’t guess what Jiang Yun was going to do.

　　Gu Sheng remembered that Jiang Yun was just a beautiful and kind person in the early days, but he was not so stupid, right?

　　Jiang Yun heard what Gu Sheng was thinking: …

　　Don’t ask, he has his own ideas.

　　Jiang Yun shook his head at Gu Sheng, signaling him not to say more, and then looked at Qi Yan, who obviously did not expect his proposal to be accepted so hastily, and asked: “What are you standing there for?”

　　”Didn’t you say you would take us to your residence?”

　　He looked up, and it was getting dark.

　　”It’s getting late, let’s go.”

　　Qi Yan said “Oh”, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned around.

　　”By the way, the two of you may have been remembered by the people who are looking for map fragments. My residence is very remote, and it is inevitable that you will meet other people on the road. Just in case, you two should change your clothes and disguise yourself.”

　　Gu Sheng: “Okay.”

　　The group of people had just been driven away by him and Jiang Yun, and no one should come to them again in a short time.

　　It would be best to pretend to be irrelevant and leave at this time.

　　The three of them randomly found a store and went in to buy new clothes to change into. Before leaving, Gu Sheng also saw several half-face masks placed by the door.

　　He thought about it and bought them too.

　　——It was already dark, and three figures wearing half-masks were walking on the deserted road, and from time to time there were several complaints.

　　”Brother Qi, you said your residence is remote, but it shouldn’t be so remote, right?”

　　”How long will it take to get there?” Gu Sheng wanted to stop and ask Qi Yan how far away the destination was, but the answer he got was almost there.

　　”Almost there.” Qi Yan in front of him still replied with those two words after hearing the other party’s question, and his footsteps kept moving forward.

　　Gu Sheng thought: It’s almost there, he’s going to lie down soon.

　　He now seriously suspected that Qi Yan wanted to lead him and Jiang Yun to a remote place to kill people and take the map fragments.

　　I really can’t figure out why Jiang Yun agreed to follow him here.

　　And that Qi Yan.

　　How can a scholar who looks quite weak have better physical fitness than him?

　　They have walked a long way since leaving Fengcheng Market. Gu Sheng’s physical strength is a little bit behind. The figure in front of him gradually blurred in his eyes, and his head became dizzy.

　　”Boss…”

　　Gu Sheng called Jiang Yun weakly, stretched out his hand, and fell forward uncontrollably.

　　”Help me… for a moment.”

　　”Pah!”

　　——When Gu Sheng woke up, he was already on a bed in a small room, with the mask on his face taken off. Next to him was Jiang Yun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was looking down at him.

　　His first thought was.

　　It was not easy to actually reach the residence mentioned by Qi Yan alive.

　　”Boss, where is Qi Yan?”

　　Gu Sheng blinked and looked around. He didn’t see Qi Yan. He wanted to get up but was held down by Jiang Yun.

　　”He is making a fire to cook food.”

　　Jiang Yun raised his eyes slightly and covered Gu Sheng’s forehead with his palm. Unlike the hot touch just now, his body temperature had returned to normal at this time.

　　”You can get up now.” Jiang Yun released the hand that was holding Gu Sheng and nodded slightly, telling him what happened before.

　　”You fainted because of exhaustion just now. You have a low fever, but you are fine now.”

　　Gu Sheng held his stomach and nodded, and said “hmm” twice, but he still couldn’t cover up the very obvious “gurgling”.

　　”Are you hungry?”

　　Jiang Yun lowered his eyes and took a look.

　　”Have a drink of water first.” He handed the warm water on the table to Gu Sheng, and pointed to a small room at the back.

　　”Qi Yan’s residence is not far from where you fainted. After settling the two of us, he went to the kitchen.”

　　Jiang Yun accepted Qi Yan’s cooking as a matter of course, and even calculated the time for him: “You woke up at a good time, the food should be ready soon.”

　　After that, Gu Sheng saw a figure appear at the door, and Qi Yan came out with a big bowl of cabbage soup.

　　Gu Sheng’s eyes, which had been slightly bright, became dim again.

　　Chinese cabbage…

　　No, he wants to eat meat!

　　Jiang Yun looked at Gu Sheng’s sullen look and laughed for no reason, and then put away his smile when the other party looked at him.

　　”Just make do with it.”

　　Gu Sheng nodded as if he had lost his soul: “…Okay.”

　　Qi Yan noticed Gu Sheng’s expression after putting the cabbage soup on the table. The change in his expression was too obvious, causing Qi Yan to feel a little guilty.

　　He took the initiative to pick up the spoon and served each of them a bowl, and said in a low voice: “Sorry, it happened suddenly today, so we can only eat this first.”

　　”No problem.” Jiang Yun reached out to take the two bowls, put one closer to himself, and the other in front of Gu Sheng.

　　”Eat.” He looked at Gu Sheng calmly, but saw the rejection in his eyes.

　　No meat!

　　Gu Sheng hadn’t eaten meat for a long time. He thought he could eat something good after staying at Qi Yan’s house for a night, but

　　”Boss…”

　　He looked at Jiang Yun eagerly. Although his stomach was still protesting, his eyes were full of rejection when he looked at Jiang Yun.

　　Want to eat meat…

　　But Jiang Yun didn’t want it today.^[1]ok, it is the word play, eating meat indicated by those 2 are different… if you know, you know~

　　”Eat quickly.” His voice became softer than before, but his tone sounded a little fierce to Gu Sheng.

　　”After eating, go out with me to practice swordplay.”

　　Gu Sheng: “…Hmm?”

　　”Didn’t you say that you would practice swordplay starting today?”

　　”It just so happens that I know a little bit, I can teach you.”

　　Jiang Yun met Gu Sheng’s incredulous look, and added the second half of the sentence after thinking: “From what happened today, your physical fitness is indeed a little poor, practice swordplay with me.”

　　Gu Sheng opened his mouth wide.

　　He remembered that he was a patient who had fainted from exhaustion and had just woken up not long ago, and even had a low fever before. How come now, not only did he not receive the treatment that a patient deserves, but he was forced to go out to practice swordplay.

　　Gu Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Yun’s indifferent voice again.

　　”Gu Sheng, eat quickly.”

　　Gu Sheng drank the cabbage soup in front of him with tears under Jiang Yun’s “threat”.

　　… Then he drank another bowl.

　　——An hour later, Gu Sheng felt that his breathing was wrong.

　　”Boss, is it okay?”

　　He followed Jiang Yun breathlessly. His feet softened and he was supported by Jiang Yun. The other party’s calm voice came from above his head.

　　”Not bad, it’s okay.”

　　Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

　　The residence chosen by Qi Yan was surrounded by mountains. After dinner, they rested for a while, and Jiang Yun took him out to run countless laps, saying that he wanted to exercise.

　　After stopping, Gu Sheng found that his legs no longer belonged to him.

　　The three words “It is okay” were simply Gu Sheng’s savior at the moment.

　　”Then boss, can we go and rest?”

　　Jiang Yun shook his head: “There will be time to rest tomorrow.”

　　”Then I will teach you to practice sword.”

　　Jiang Yun picked up the carefully selected branches that were no longer sharp, and threw one to Gu Sheng.

　　Gu Sheng subconsciously caught it, and heard the other party say:

　　”Start, Gu Sheng, attack me with the ‘sword’ in your hand.”

　　”Tonight, no one will disturb us.”
