When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

But it was Jiang Lian'an's indifference and calmness, as well as his free and easy yet calm manner, that made Cheng Su feel more like him.

Cheng Su's eyes flashed with nostalgia as he said, "To be honest, I met him at night. I can't remember his appearance anymore. I only remember his movements. But there was one thing he said that I still can't forget."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Lezhi said lightly.

"He said that in the face of life and death, everyone is equal, regardless of position or status. Whether you can save someone or not, you have to try your best to find out..."

Sixteen years ago.

Cheng Su was not a general yet, but just the leader of a small team with fifty brothers under him.

Life in the military camp is boring. Apart from training and patrolling, most of the time is spent on the border.

Fortunately.

At that time, Northern Qi and Yunqiang Kingdom had good exchanges, so when they were bored, the soldiers of the two countries would get together and talk about the new and interesting things in their own countries.

that time.

The person the two countries talked about the most was Ling Feihan.

Ling Feihan came from Yanyue Valley.

Yanyue Valley is located in a valley a hundred miles away from the capital of Yunqiang State. It is not adjacent to Northern Qi and is close to the border of Yunqiang State. It is rumored to be a very beautiful place. It is said that when standing in the valley, you can only see the moonlight pouring down, but you cannot see the moon.

Hence the name.

Moon-covered Valley.

The master of Yanyue Valley is an expert in both medicine and martial arts, but he never interferes in the affairs of the court or the martial arts world, and does not allow the disciples in the valley to go out. There is a formation outside the valley, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

If a disciple wishes to leave the world, he is not allowed to return to the valley.

The Valley Master also has a strange temper. No one knows his name, and the conditions for accepting disciples are very strict. Most of them are abandoned children who have been discarded. He does not accept good seedlings that are sent to him by others, or those that are intentionally thrown on the mountain. He only wants those that he picks up.

It was precisely because of the strange rules of the valley master that, although Yanyue Valley was located in the territory of Yunqiang State, when the war broke out, Yanyue Valley was not implicated, and the emperor of Northern Qi did not send anyone to attack it.

Although the sect rules were like this, they could not resist the young people's temperament. Some disciples felt that their abilities should not be buried and left Yanyue Valley.

But the only one who truly made a name for himself was Ling Feihan.

Aside from breaking the sect's rule of not leaving the valley, he still followed its rules after leaving, which was to stay out of the court or the affairs of the martial arts world. He traveled across the country, always alone, and would lend a hand even in the smallest or most trivial matters. He was also known to be quite good-looking, with the appearance of a handsome and elegant young man.

Therefore, it is deeply loved by the people and famous throughout the world.

Whenever Cheng Su heard soldiers from both countries talk about Ling Feihan, he felt somewhat ashamed and even a little jealous.

He is about the same age as Ling Feihan, but Ling Feihan has already become famous at a young age and is an expert in both medicine and martial arts.

But I am just a team leader.

He joined the army at the age of fifteen and was promoted to captain, which took him a full eight years of hard work.

He had no great achievements and no faults. He was promoted to the position of team leader simply because he had stayed in the barracks for a long time.

It's far from Ling Feihan.

He has an ordinary appearance, no achievements, and is not as good as others in martial arts. Compared with others, he is just a rough guy who knows some boxing and kicking skills.

Under the huge imbalance and psychological gap, he mentally arranged Ling Feihan to find balance. He felt that Ling Feihan might not be as good as the world said. Maybe he was a two-faced person who was seeking fame and reputation, and it was all fake.

One night.

Everyone gathered together to talk about Ling Feihan's heroic deeds. Cheng Su felt depressed after listening to them and drank a lot of wine. He left in disappointment when everyone was chatting happily.

The Yunqiang Kingdom is mountainous and has many rivers and dense forests. The weeds can grow up to people's knees.

Cheng Su was unhappy and vented his anger on the weeds.

There was no one around, and under the influence of alcohol, he shouted without restraint: "Ling Feihan is nothing, I will be more powerful than him in the future!"

"You're right, Ling Feihan is indeed nothing."

Cheng Su was startled by the sudden voice above his head. Thinking that there was an enemy attack, he threw away the wine jug and was about to draw the sword at his waist.

The man was hanging upside down on the tree with a very leisurely expression.

But he had no choice but to drink, his steps were unsteady, and when he raised his head, his center of gravity was unstable. Instead of pulling out the sword, he fell into the weeds.

Cheng Su felt very embarrassed and quickly climbed up from the weeds. Before he could open his mouth to ask who the person was, he felt a sharp pain in his leg.

"No, there's an ambush!"

Feeling the pain, Cheng Su stood up quickly, looked down, and his heart immediately turned cold and he sobered up.

It wasn't an ambush, but a poisonous snake.

It was clinging to and biting its calf tightly.

He knew this kind of snake. It was extremely poisonous and many soldiers on the border had died at the hands of this snake.

He must have vented his anger on the bushes just now, disturbing the snake lurking there.

This is just great.

He was talking about competing with Ling Feihan, but his life was about to be lost here first.

The man in front of him was originally planning to leave, and Cheng Su also noticed it, but after seeing that his leg was bitten by a snake, he jumped down from the tree without saying a word.

He took out the small knife from his arms and cut off the snake's seven inches.

After making sure there were no other snakes around, he took out the tinder he carried with him and stood aside, carefully pulling out the snake's fangs. Then he frowned and used the knife in his hand to cut open Cheng Su's trouser leg with a focused expression, revealing the bitten area.

After the snake was taken away, two small round holes were left by the bite, and two thin blood marks flowed out.

The man did not hesitate and tied the cut piece of cloth five finger widths above the bitten area.

Then, he used the water bottle he carried with him to wash Cheng Su's wounds.

Cheng Su guessed that the person who came wanted to save him, but he also knew that the snake was very poisonous, so he thought of letting the person ignore him. But before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his leg, which made Cheng Su silent.

The man decisively used his knife to cut a small cross-shaped wound where Cheng Su was bitten. The cut was not deep. He then squeezed the wound hard to squeeze out as much poisonous blood as possible and expel the toxins inside.

After he had almost finished lining up, he searched around.

Although it was dark at night and his face was not clear, Cheng Su could see him turning over the weeds and searching everywhere. When his eyes fixed on a certain place, a light flashed.

He pulled out some unknown grass from the bushes and said with a smile, "The situation is urgent and the space is limited. I can't care about so many things. Don't be disgusted."

The visitor just wanted to inform him and had no intention of listening to Cheng Su's thoughts at all.

He took a sip of water but did not swallow it. He rinsed it in his mouth a few times and then spit it out. Then he put the grass into his mouth and chewed it into a sticky paste. He applied it to Cheng Su's wound and bandaged it with a cloth.

"Eat this."

The man took out a small bottle from his arms, took out a pill and gave it to Cheng Su to take. He still did not ask Cheng Su what he thought, but Cheng Su still ate it obediently.

"Thank you for saving me, knight." Cheng Su said gratefully.

He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's my duty. You're welcome."

After rescuing Cheng Su, the man also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down aside and let out a long sigh.

"This snake is extremely poisonous. You and I are strangers, I'm not a hero, and I don't have the money to repay you for saving my life. Aren't you afraid that your efforts will be in vain?"

Cheng Su asked the question in his mind.

The visitor seemed to think about Cheng Su's words seriously, then smiled calmly and said, "I think in the face of life and death, everyone is the same. Regardless of one's position or status, one must try to find out whether one can be saved or not."

"It's you." The man looked at Cheng Su, his eyes seemed to be able to see through Cheng Su's eyes and directly into Cheng Su's heart, "Everyone is unique, why do you belittle yourself?"

The words of the visitor made Cheng Su's heart tremble.

The visitor's eyes revealed admiration, and he openly expressed his thoughts, "I really like the way you just spoke your heart out. I also like what you said just now. It's very ambitious, that's how it should be. You're no worse than that Ling Feihan."

Cheng Su's heart was moved, but he couldn't say anything profound. He felt that the visitor was very special and made him admire him. He also felt that the two of them might have the same idea.

He blurted out: "You don't like Ling Feihan either?"

The visitor seemed to have not expected Cheng Su to ask such a question. He was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I……"

"He must be there where the light is. Hurry, don't let him get away!"

Just as the visitor was about to answer, there was a noise in the woods and a light of fire running towards them.

He didn't bother to answer and immediately picked up the fire starter on the ground and blew out the fire.

Suddenly the light went out and my eyes couldn't adjust for a while. Everything in front of me became dark and I could only hear his voice.

"Don't you want to repay me? If you help me stop them, that will be your repayment. The sky is high and the sea is vast, and we will meet again!"

After saying that, the man flew up the tree and walked away, but except for some movement when he just jumped onto the tree, there was no movement afterwards.

At this moment, Cheng Su also adapted to the darkness.

In the moonlight, he saw the man walking away from the tree with a nimble posture and light steps, but his feet did not disturb the leaves under his feet. It was as if the breeze was blowing through the leaves, so light.

Cheng Su's eyes suddenly tightened.

The breeze blows the willows.

He often heard his brothers mention the best Qinggong, which got its name because it was possible to step on leaves without disturbing them, just like a breeze blowing through the leaves without a single leaf falling.

It was used by Ling Feihan.

Ling Feihan himself did not tell the world the name of this light skill. It was named "Qingfeng Fu Liubu" by people in the martial arts world.

Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and then it got this name.

When mentioning this, Cheng Su's gaze involuntarily turned to Xiao Xu, who was sitting with his back to him on the boat next door, and lingered for a brief moment.

"and after?"

Cheng Su said frankly: "When the people chasing him came over, I found out that he was being chased by the people on the border because he was helping others steal chickens."

Lin Lezhi was a little shocked, "Stealing a chicken?"

"Well, that group came to thank him. The merchants who came to buy mountain products offered unfair prices, taking advantage of the border people who rarely came to town on weekdays. The border people knew they were being cheated, but there was nothing they could do. So he took advantage of the darkness to steal chickens, leaving the silver to the owner for the amount of chickens he was supposed to buy, and stole the rest and returned them to the border people."

This Ling Feihan is quite interesting. Lin Lezhi smiled slightly and commented sincerely: "This Ling Feihan is really not simple."

Cheng Su said frankly: "I felt ashamed, so I never told my brothers about it. I just said that I was lucky enough to meet Ling Feihan."

Cheng Su talked about the past with a smile on his face, but his eyes could not hide the regret and nostalgia, as well as a subtle shame and worry.

Slow down.

He was overwhelmed with emotions, and said with some regret, "Although I can't remember what he looked like, I haven't forgotten his words for a single moment in these sixteen years. I wonder if there will ever be a chance to see him again."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and said as if talking to himself: "But I can't remember what he looks like. I'm afraid that even if I really saw him, I wouldn't recognize him."
