Chapter 685 A Woman Visits
It was already late at night when we returned from Ding Qi's central military camp.
Xiaoying had already fallen asleep on Yu Aqi's bed without caring about anything. After running around for days, even she, a playful person, seemed exhausted.
Chu and Yu smiled helplessly, took out two thin cloaks from the tent and spread them on the ground, then lay down with their clothes on.
Chu Xiaomu finally asked about his archenemy Bai Yixing.
Yu Aqi said that when he went to Yutuo City to look for Lu Linnan Ge more than two months ago, he did meet seven or eight people from the Snow Country. One of the short and fat men called another Bai Yixing. At that time, he only felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. When he returned to the barracks, he suddenly remembered that he was your enemy. If I had remembered this at the time, I would have helped you catch him.
Chu Xiaomu also knew that it had been quite some time since he met Bai Yixing, and it was hard to say whether he was still in Yutuo City. But he still held on to a glimmer of hope that he was still here, so he said, "Aqi, can you take me to the place where you saw him last time?"
Yu Aqi was a little embarrassed and said, "Xiao Mu, I heard that there is a very powerful person among the Snow Country people. Your injuries are not light. I think you should wait until your injuries are better before going to find him."
Chu Xiaomu said bitterly: "I came to Yutuo City specifically to seek revenge on him. I can't wait any longer. Besides, my injury is not serious. It is more than enough to kill Bai Yixing."
Yu Aqi said, "But I heard that the extremely powerful Snow Countryman is a spiritual king who is as famous as the general. Even Lu Linjia and Ran Qingdeng are very afraid of him." After a pause, he said, "How about this, I will send a few people to secretly investigate in Yutuo City, and you can go find him after you find their traces."
Chu Xiaomu thought about it carefully and felt that this was the best way. He was injured and it hurt a lot if he exerted force. If he encountered a storm, he would not be able to defeat it. Besides, Bai Yixing might not be in Yutuo City. Aqi arranged a few more people to look for him. Firstly, it could avoid alerting the enemy, and secondly, it would be much more powerful than his own. Although he could use the spirit-asking technique to search, he did not have the yarrow grass and various tools that could be used to set up the formation, so this method might not work.
Besides, I have been waiting for this matter for almost five years, so there is no need to worry about waiting for another ten days or half a month.
The two chatted until it was almost dawn, and then they fell into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for about an hour, Ah Qi got up from the ground and said he was going to the western checkpoint to have a look. If nothing happened, he would be back soon. He asked Xiao Mu and Xiao Ying to sit for a while.
One of Aqi's guards brought two large basins of clean water and asked Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying to wash up. Then he brought food for them to eat.
Xiaoying had been wandering around the military camp for almost an hour last night, but found it boring and had no plans to go out today.
Chu Xiaomu hadn't been alone with her for a long time, so he was very happy.
During the chat, Chu Xiaomu told Xiaoying about the interesting things in the Beast Mountain. When talking about the extremely vicious tiger that wanted to kill her at any time, Xiaoying became very nervous and held Chu Xiaomu's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would be eaten by the tiger; when talking about the silly-looking golden bear and the crazy leopard, she laughed and said it was interesting; when talking about the colorful bird that loved to mess with women and the crow woman who could foresee the future, Xiaoying opened her eyes wide and shook her head and said she didn't believe it...
Xiaoying said, "Brother Xiaomu, Beast Mountain is so much fun, when will you take me there?"
Chu Xiaomu took a sip of water and was about to answer when suddenly the curtain was lifted and a woman in a blue flowery dress walked in.
After a closer look, I saw that this person was about 20 years old, with two bunches of black shiny hair on each shoulder, a round face and round eyes, and her pupils were as black as two shining black gems. She was holding a small wicker basket in her hand, and I didn't know what was in it.
The round-faced woman's eyes flickered twice and she asked, "Who are you? Where is Aqi?"
Chu Xiaomu knew that there could be no female members in the Bicheng army, and women from outside were not allowed to enter at will. The reason this girl was able to come in was either because of permission from Ding Qi or Aqi, or because she knew the soldiers guarding the gate, so she was allowed in.
Chu Xiaomu replied: "We are Aqi's friends. He has gone to the western border."
The round-faced woman said "oh" and frowned slightly when she saw Xiaoying sitting on Aqi's bed. She walked over and sat on the bed side by side with her.
Chu Xiaomu gestured to Xiaoying to sit next to him, but Xiaoying didn't understand and remained seated.
The round-faced woman said, "You are Ah Qi's friends. Is your surname Chu or Xuan?"
Chu Xiaomu could not believe that this woman actually knew about him and Xuanying, so she must be very close to Aqi, and she might even be his lover. He immediately felt closer to her, so he stood up, leaned forward at a right angle, bowed to her in a proper manner, and said, "I am Chu Xiaomu, may I ask what your name is?" He had also heard Bai Yixing and Huang Wubaoguan use the more elegant expression "May I ask your name?", but he was a country boy and could not say it out loud.
The round-faced woman chuckled and said, "It's rare that someone who was once a slave would perform this kind of ceremony."
The Cangmu Kingdom still has the custom of bowing, but it has been greatly simplified, just a slight bow. Baihua Island is isolated from the outside world and has never had any contact with other places for more than 200 years, but has preserved this way of bowing.
