They had never met, so how could they recognize each other?
These words were deeply embedded in Ji Yunshu's heart.
She closed her palm bit by bit, tightly grasping the crown bead.
It was as if she was holding a sharp knife, cutting through the fine lines on her palm until she was dripping with blood.
She endured the pain and asked, "Since you said you had never met, then let me ask you, who were you three years ago?"
Ah!
Surprise flashed through Li Chuan's eyes, but it was fleeting and unnoticeable.
He said, "I grew up in the mountains with my master. Eight years ago, I left the mountains and entered Yan Jing. I have never left Qujiang. So whether you ask me three years ago or six years ago, I will give you the same answer." Ji Yunshu shook her head and smiled bitterly. She reached out her hand and touched the mask on Li Chuan's face, bit by bit. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared into his cold and hard eyes. "The night before I left Gao Ding, big brother Lang,
"The night before I left Gao Ding, big brother Lang, he told me that when you were trapped in the fire, you used your lips to tell me four words: 'This life is not in vain'!" “
Li Chuan was startled.
"This life is not in vain! You said it yourself, so why do you treat me as a stranger when I'm standing in front of you now? "
He tilted his head and leaned back.
Her hand froze in mid-air.
Li Chuan said, "It doesn't matter if you believe my words or not. If you have any questions, I can take you to Yan Jing and ask someone."
She lowered her hand bit by bit. "If you have the intention to hide, even if I ask everyone in the world, the answer will be the same. I only believe in my own heart and my own feelings! Even if everyone says you are not, I know you are! "
"Do as you wish!" Li Chuan suddenly stood up and walked to the edge of the fire.
In his eyes, this woman was very stubborn!
Stubborn to the point that she would rather sacrifice her life in order to find the person in her heart.
How deep was that love? That was why she was so infatuated with it.
This was something Li Chuan had never experienced before!
He only knew that he grew up in the mountains and learned from his master for many years before he was able to enter Yan Jing and become his master's disciple!
In his life, there was only killing and obedience!
The love between a man and a woman was like poison, it could not be contaminated at all.
That was why he was so cold and emotionless.
But today, she had saved this young lady and carried her all the way here.
It was as if something was strangely restraining his heart!
Ji Yunshu looked at him. Half of his face was illuminated by the firelight. His eyebrows, eyes, nose …
It was clearly him!
At this time, at this time —
Suddenly, a sound came from afar.
Li Chuan instantly became alert. He immediately extinguished the fire in front of him and kicked the sand a few times to cover it up!
It was a habit!
Ji Yunshu also became nervous.
Li Chuan quickly ran to the top of the sand dune to take a look. In the distance, several torches were lit, and they were approaching.
When he got closer, he saw a flag.
On the flag, there was an eye-catching bright red "Jing" character.
Ugh!
This was …
Li Chuan immediately turned back and pulled Ji Yunshu's hand towards the opposite dune.
"What happened?"
"Just follow me!"
He brought her to the opposite dune and hid her behind him. Lying on top, he looked in that direction.
He saw the light in the distance getting closer and closer. After crossing over a sand dune, they approached the water source where they had been.
It was a group of more than twenty people!
There were also a dozen camels and a few horses in the group, all carrying goods!
Those people were wearing the same black robes and black armor. It was obvious that they were not traveling merchants. They should be soldiers of some noble family.
Even in this desolate desert, they did not lose their prestige.
The general riding at the front was a man who looked to be in his forties. There was a long scar across his face. The two people beside him held a flag, on which was a large "Jing" character!
Jing?
Ji Yunshu racked her brain for a while. Which noble, royal family, generals, or ministers had the title 'Jing'?
Before she could continue thinking, her attention was drawn to a coffin at the back of the group.
That coffin was covered with a black cloth!
There was a shed on top that could shelter it from the wind and rain.
Strange!
Who were they? Why were they carrying a coffin through the Nansai Desert?
The general saw a water source in front of them and immediately raised his hand. "Stop. We will set up camp here tonight and rest for the night."
"Yes!"
Everyone dismounted.
They set up camp here.
The general walked to the coffin and ordered, "Set it up properly. If there is the slightest mistake, we will take your lives."
"Yes!"
The people pulling the coffin didn't dare to be careless. They carefully lifted the coffin from the carriage and hurriedly set up a tent on the spot!
Protect it well.
Ji Yunshu glanced at Li Chuan beside her. Seeing his furrowed brows and his previous actions, it was clear that he knew something.
Perhaps, he knew those people.
"Who are they?" she asked.
Li Chuan stared at them with a sharp gaze. "There are some things that are not good for you to know too much."
She didn't ask further. Instead, she asked, "Then should we hurry and leave?"
"Leave?" Li Chuan's eyes flashed with ridicule. He stared at the people and said, "If we don't have supplies and camels, we won't be able to leave the Nansai Desert even if we have ten lives."
Ji Yunshu immediately understood his meaning. "You want to …"
"What? Is there any other way? "
There really wasn't!
They hadn't eaten for a day and a night!
Li Chuan originally planned to run into some caravans along the way. That way, they could safely leave this place. However, apart from this woman who followed him closely, he didn't see a single person!
So, he had to think of a way to save himself!
Those people had so many camels and so many supplies. How could he not take them?
But …
Ji Yunshu had her own concerns. She worriedly said, "Your arm has just been bandaged. You can't take any risks! Moreover, there are too many of them. We can't get close. "
"You don't need to worry about that! I have a way to sneak in. "
"Then I must follow you!" Ji Yunshu said.
"No! If we are discovered, we will all die. "
"You have to lead the camels on one side and look for food and drink on the other. Two hands aren't enough."
Li Chuan still didn't agree. "If you follow me, you will only be a hindrance. When the time comes, I won't be able to take care of you!"
