Chapter 169: Acquaintance?
Chapter 169: Acquaintance?
"Yan, you have a very sensitive sense of smell. Can you smell the scent of my elder brother?"
After the soldiers left, Nangong Jing thought that the monsters had a more sensitive sense of smell, so he summoned Yan and asked it to look for Nangong Mu.
Yan glanced at Nangong Jing with some resentment, wanting to say that it was a leopard, not a dog.
But even if you are unwilling, you still have to listen to your master.
Yan and Nangong Mu are also familiar with each other, so there is no need to deliberately smell Nangong Mu's blood or objects with Nangong Mu's scent.
Yan raised his head and moved his dark nose, sniffing for a long time, and suddenly smelled a familiar scent in a certain direction.
Yan looked at Nangong Jing and conveyed his meaning through the contract.
After Nangong Jing understood what Yan meant, he pulled Xuanyuan Xingyao and followed Yan.
This is the location, why is it getting more and more remote the further you go?
This remote place is difficult for even normal people to walk, let alone Nangong Mu who is seriously injured.
"Yan, is it really here? This road is hard for me to walk on, and my eldest brother is injured. How could he possibly walk in?"
Nangong Jing didn't want to doubt Yan, but the difficulty of the road really forced Nangong Jing to doubt.
However, if Nangong Mu was really hiding in such a place, it would be understandable why the soldiers couldn't find him.
Who would have thought that after Nangong Mu escaped from danger, he did not go to a crowded place for treatment, but instead came to this secluded mountain village.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly, then carefully parted the surrounding grass to prevent the weeds from scratching Nangong Jing.
Seeing that Nangong Jing actually doubted him, Yan growled at Nangong Jing with some displeasure.
Yan, who was spoiled by Nangong Jing, almost quit his job.
In the end, it took Nangong Jing's repeated coaxing to finally appease the little ancestor.
After that, Nangong Jing didn't dare to say a word, for fear that this little ancestor would lose his temper again.
"There's a cave ahead."
Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyesight was sharper than Nangong Jing's, and he could see a cave in front of him from a distance.
When Nangong Jing heard about the cave, he couldn't help but show joy.
Although I don’t know how Nangong Mu got here, if Nangong Mu really wants to be here, he must be in this cave.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Nangong Jing quickened his pace excitedly.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and Xuanyuan Xingyao was afraid that Nangong Jing would trip, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao had just arrived outside the cave under the guidance of Yan. Before they went in, they saw a man walking out of the cave.
The man held a magic wand in his hand, and his expression was full of vigilance.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao did not expect that the person living in the cave was not Nangong Mu, but a strange man. In addition to being confused, they also felt a little more alert.
Nangong Jing always felt that the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, and looked at him thoughtfully.
The man seemed to feel that Nangong Jing looked familiar. He kept looking Nangong Jing up and down, and then fell into thought.
The man's gaze that looked him up and down almost made Xuanyuan Xingyao go crazy.
It was Nangong Jing who realized something was wrong and pulled Xuanyuan Xingyao, which prevented him from taking out the Star Sword.
"Ayao, does he look familiar to you? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Nangong Jing asked Xuanyuan Xingyao in a low voice.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was unhappy with the other party's scrutinizing look and didn't pay much attention to the other party's appearance.
After hearing Nangong Jing's question, he looked at the other person carefully.
It has to be said that Xuanyuan Xingyao's memory is a bit better than Nangong Jing's. After thinking for a while, he remembered who the man was.
"Zhuo Yunsheng."
When Zhuo Yunsheng heard the taller man calling out his name, he wondered how the other party knew him and became even more alert, fearing that he was an enemy of himself or his master.
When Nangong Jing heard the three words Zhuo Yunsheng, he finally remembered who the other person was.
"So it's you. I'm Nangong Jing, the one who challenged you in the challenge match during the college competition. Do you still remember???"
Nangong Jing said with a little excitement.
After hearing Nangong Jing's reminder, Zhuo Yunsheng finally remembered Nangong Jing.
The two looked at each other, both a little excited, but also a little embarrassed.
During the mainland college competition, Zhuo Yunsheng and Nangong Jing had a battle in the challenge match.
Both sides felt a sense of mutual admiration at the time and even made an appointment to compete next time.
But after the Continental College Tournament ended, both sides forgot about the incident for various reasons.
More than a year passed, so when the two met again, they had actually forgotten what each other looked like. It was so embarrassing.
Fortunately, neither of them was a shy person. After knowing that they were not enemies, the three of them put away their guard, and Zhuo Yunsheng even put away his magic wand.
"This place is not easy to find. How did you two get here?"
Zhuo Yunsheng asked curiously.
This cave is very hidden. Even Zhuo Yunsheng only knew about it because Feng Qingfei brought him here before.
As for Feng Qingfei, it is said that he accidentally entered the place when he was traveling in the mainland before, and ended up getting lost in the mountains and discovered it accidentally.
Feng Qingfei thought this cave was good, as it was relatively secluded and suitable for hiding, so he used a magic circle to hide it and used it as his own private base.
"We followed Yan here."
Nangong Jing pointed at Yan, who was lying lazily on the ground after completing the task.
Zhuo Yunsheng followed Nangong Jing's finger, glanced at Queen Yan and then looked at Nangong Jing.
"You are here for Nangong Mu, right? Yes, Nangong Jing and Nangong Mu are brothers."
Zhuo Yunsheng said with sudden enlightenment.
Although Nangong Jing had some guesses, he was still overjoyed when he heard that Nangong Mu was in the cave.
"My elder brother was really saved by you???"
"Yes, after the mainland college competition ended, I returned to stay with my master for a while, and then he sent me out to gain experience. It was also a coincidence that I passed by here some time ago and happened to see Nangong Mu falling from the mountain."
Perhaps it was Nangong Mu's fate that he would not die. After being chased and falling from the mountain, he was just discovered by Zhuo Yunsheng.
Although Zhuo Yunsheng is better at fighting, he is also a light magician after all, so healing magic is no problem for him.
Nangong Mu's injuries were too severe, not only external injuries but also internal injuries. Originally, Zhuo Yunsheng wanted to take Nangong Mu to a nearby town to find a doctor for treatment.
Light magic alone can only heal external injuries, not internal injuries.
But Nangong Mu pulled Zhuo Yunsheng and begged him to hide him first and not go to the town, saying it was unsafe.
Zhuo Yunsheng thought that Nangong Mu fell off the cliff alone, and there might be some hidden story. Coincidentally, there was a cave nearby, so Zhuo Yunsheng carried Nangong Mu over.
In order to avoid being discovered, Zhuo Yunsheng even used magic to erase all traces.
After listening to Zhuo Yunsheng's story, Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao were 100% sure that Nangong Mu's fall off the cliff this time was not that simple.
"Is Xuanyuan Xi so fast? Nangong Dao has only surrendered for a few days, and he actually attacked my eldest brother???"
Nangong Jing was a little confused. Xuanyuan Xi was very smart, and the Wu and Yun families had considerable influence in the military, but this speed was too fast. Was Xuanyuan Xi really not afraid that others would suspect him?
Or was Xuanyuan Xi so confident that even if the truth was found out, Xuanyuan Hongtai would still protect him? ? ?
"Let's see how big brother is doing first."
What Nangong Jing can think of, Xuanyuan Xingyao can also think of.
Before, Xuanyuan Xingyao would have said confidently that Xuanyuan Hongtai was not that kind of person.
But this time he almost got into trouble, but Xuanyuan Hongtai did not punish Xuanyuan Xi, let alone the son of a duke.
Nangong Mu just saw Zhuo Yunsheng, holding the magic wand and walked out with a vigilant look, and his expression never relaxed.
It was not until he saw Nangong Jing walking in from outside the cave that Nangong Mu's expression changed from vigilance to disbelief, and finally to relief and excitement.
"Xiao Jing!!!"
Nangong Mu has been living in fear these past few days, fearing that someone who wants to kill him will come and find him.
Now after seeing Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao, Nangong Mu felt relieved because he knew he was safe.
"Brother, how are you? Can you move now?"
Although Nangong Mu is a general, because he is a magician, he does not wear armor but a magic robe.
The only difference is that the style of the magic robe has been changed. It is no longer as wide as that of an ordinary magician, but more like a warrior's tights.
Therefore, Nangong Jing could clearly see that the blood on Nangong Mu's clothes, even though it had dried, could still show how serious Nangong Mu's injuries were.
"I'm much better now. Brother Zhuo has been treating me all this time. My external injuries are almost healed, but my internal injuries are still quite severe, so I can't move for the time being."
Nangong Mu said in a naive manner.
Zhuo Yunsheng found it very strange looking at Nangong Mu's silly smile.
During the time they spent together, Nangong Mu gave Zhuo Yunsheng the impression of being mature and wise, but he didn't expect that he seemed a little silly in front of his younger brother. The contrast was a bit too big.
When Nangong Jing heard that Nangong Mu's internal injuries were recovering very slowly, he immediately summoned the Brahma Golden Bird.
"Little Jinzi, holy light heals."
Zhuo Yunsheng's eyes lit up when he saw the Fanjin Bird.
There is no light magician who has not heard of the Golden Bird.
Many light magicians hope to find a Brahma Golden Bird as a companion beast, but it is too difficult to find. Unexpectedly, Nangong Jing actually has one.
"Xiao Jing, why do you choose the same name as when you were a child? It's still so bad."
While Nangong Mu was receiving treatment from Fan Jinniao, he complained to Nangong Jing with a hint of pampering.
Nangong Jing was very nervous when he came, fearing that something might have happened to Nangong Mu.
But now that he had found Nangong Mu, Nangong Jing's anxious heart was finally at ease.
Especially when he saw Nangong Mu, he actually had the mind to joke with him, and he relaxed completely.
"Brother, since you still have the energy to complain about me, it seems that nothing serious has happened. I'd better put the little gold away."
Nangong Jing threatened deliberately.
Nangong Mu knew, of course, that Nangong Jing was trying to scare him on purpose, but he still pretended to be panicked.
"No, please don't. Whether your big brother can go back early depends entirely on your little Jinzi."
Of course, Nangong Jing was just saying that. How could he really put the Fanjin Bird away?
After the holy light healed him, Nangong Jing asked the Brahma Golden Bird to release a holy light shield to protect Nangong Mu's broken right leg.
Nangong Mu's right leg was broken. Zhuo Yunsheng had no tools at hand, so he could only temporarily fix it with a wooden stick. But if he wanted to fully recover, he still needed to find a doctor to set his bones.
If the meridians are injured, the Brahma Golden Bird can still heal them, but if the bones are broken, the Brahma Golden Bird is not omnipotent and there is nothing it can do.
Nangong Jing was worried that the leg injury would get worse during the move, so he thought of using the Holy Light Shield to protect it first.
