Ding Youhui: High five and pray for a step in the morning

Sima Yi, who had made up his mind to leave, was worried about going there next. If he went home, he might just meet Zhou Ying. Maybe he might implicate all brothers. But now he has left Wen County and there is almost no place to go. Just in the face of danger, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

That is to go to Luoyang, you can not only directly understand the situation in Luoyang City, but also see if Liu Xie is safe and sound.

Sima Yi's original intention was to let Zhao Rui return to Wen County and go to Luoyang alone, but when he proposed this idea to Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui was violently opposed. She held Sima Yi's arm tightly and refused to let go:

"I don't want it! I will go wherever you go. I will definitely not want to go back to the Sima family without you. I have suffered a lot and paid a lot of money to find you. I will not put you in danger after finally finding you!"

Sima Yi, who was tidying up his luggage, was unable to continue to organize because Zhao Rui's arms were tightly clamped against his right hand. In desperation, he tried his best to release her hand and shook it twice. He persuaded him, which was almost numb and said:

"Listen to me, even if you follow me, it will only increase danger. You can't do anything for me. You'd better go back to Sima's house honestly. I can rest assured to have my elder brother and third brother by your side."

Zhao Rui felt sweet when she heard Sima Yi's words, and couldn't help but look a little red. She asked in a rare shy tone: "Are you nervous about my safety?"

In fact, the reason why Sima Yi said that was to stabilize Zhao Rui's excitement and then return to Wen County after listening to him. However, looking at Zhao Rui's reaction, Sima Yi felt that he had obviously done something redundant that was misunderstood.

However, at the moment he had to avoid Zhou Ying's entanglement and go to Luoyang as soon as possible, without any further explanation, causing problems.

Although Zhao Rui was particularly satisfied with Sima Yi's "considerity and concern", she did not dispel her determination to follow Sima Yi. This made Sima Yi very troubled. After repeated bitter dissuasion, Zhao Rui still couldn't shake him. He simply gave up:

"Okay, just follow me, but don't cause trouble along the way."

As long as she was letting herself follow her, Zhao Rui nodded and agreed readily.

After packing up everything, Sima Yi picked up his luggage and hung it on his shoulders and took Zhao Rui to say goodbye to Zhang Zhongjing and the young man's family and then prepared to leave. Because he had already had some feelings after several months of getting along, Zhang Zhongjing and the young man and others both sent Sima Yi down the mountain.

After reaching the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, when he had to part, Sima Yi walked up to them again, bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully: "I will be farewell after sending you thousands of miles away. Thank you for your life-saving kindness and the careful care of the old man and his family. Sima Yi had no choice but to thank him, so he could only wait until the next day to repay the kindness."

The boy walked to Sima Yi, took out his right hand behind him, and handed it to him. Sima Yi looked down and found that the boy was holding a quiver made of bamboo tube as base material. After taking it with both hands, he carefully looked at the new object and looked at the boy with a smile.

The boy stretched out his index finger and pressed his bulge on the edge of the bamboo tube. Five short arrows suddenly appeared in the bamboo tube. He explained to Sima Yi: "The way to Luoyang will not be smooth sailing. There are only five short arrows in the unholy meteor I gave you, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate it. They may not be able to deal with all emergencies. Last night, I made this portable quiver overnight. Twenty-four short arrows have been put here, which should ensure that you are not disturbed for a certain period of time."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "You should be the one who cares about me the most in this world except my brother."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just afraid that you will die at the hands of others before playing against me again. That would be a pity, and there is no other meaning." The boy's half-true and half-fake tone made Sima Yi laugh, which made the boy even more embarrassed:

"What's so funny?"

After stopping the laughter, Sima Yi hung the quiver on his waist and spread his right palm toward the boy:

"Don't worry, I'll make an appointment to fight with you next time, I will never die."

The boy lowered his head and chuckled softly, happily slapped Sima Yi into his left palm:

“I hope so…”

After saying goodbye, Sima Yi turned his back to the person who had been taking care of him for free these days. He lowered his head and slowly left with great reluctance. After walking a few steps, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned around and asked the boy loudly:

"After so long, you are unwilling to tell me what your name is. I don't know when I will see you next time. Can you tell me?"

After a moment of silence, the boy's lips moved slightly and said those three words.

After Sima Yi got the answer, he waved at them and slowly left until he completely disappeared from the boy's sight...

In order to prevent Zhou Ying, who suddenly came out at some point, Sima Yi deliberately chose the road to Luoyang on the Yanliang County monument, minimizing time to avoid any extraneous problems. In addition, the protective weapon given to him by the boy also increased his confidence by three points.

After rushing for a day and a night, Zhao Rui and Sima Yi were both tired. Originally, Sima Yi did not find an inn to stay in, but Zhao Rui could not walk anymore. In desperation, Sima Yi found a relatively clean and reliable inn to check in. Despite this, he still did not relax his vigilance and always paid attention to people and things around him.

After nightfall, Zhao Rui was exhausted and fell asleep quickly while lying on the bed. Sima Yi in the next room was different.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time. It seemed that all kinds of things were happening from the moment he left Luoyang. The fog around him became thicker and thicker. He was being chased for no reason, and what made him care even more about was the person hiding behind Zhou Ying.

Recalling carefully, even if he knew how to arrange the Beidou formation steps, even if he knew how to arrange the astrological formations, he would only grasp the key points after reading them. However, Zhou Ying was injured and fled for the first time, he could tell that he knew nothing about it, but he was able to strode through the formation without any obstacles just the second time.

In addition, the words the boy said to him on the roof made Sima Yi unable to sleep or eat. Only then did he understand what Xi Zhicai said to him at the beginning:

The visible danger is often easily resolved, but the invisible threat is a truly fearful existence.

Who is that person...

At this moment, a shrill shout suddenly came from Zhao Rui's room...
