The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 121 Madam's beauty can only be appreciated by himself

When Jing Shu opened her eyes, it was already broad daylight, and Li Ling was no longer by her side, leaving only his outer robe folded like a pillow under her head.

Jingshu got up and called Ziyun twice, but she was nowhere to be seen.

She put on her clothes, tidied up herself, and went out of the house, and saw everyone gathered beside an old man.

The old man bluffed and said, "This year, the Gobi has been haunted by sand ghosts, and these sand ghosts only eat the living, and those who go in never return.

Ten days ago, a caravan from Gaoshan Kingdom with more than [-] people went in, and only one survived and came back, who was also half-foolishly frightened.He said that their caravan ran into those sand ghosts, and all the people in the company were eaten by those sand ghosts. Only he was swept away by the sandstorm during his escape, and he escaped by chance. "

Zhou Jin on the side smiled and said, "How can there be such a powerful thing in the world? Could it be that Shakou pretends to be a ghost to fool people, just to snatch passers-by's money."

The post officer bluffed and said: "The general doesn't know, these sand ghosts are really not human. According to the person who survived by chance, all the sand ghosts he saw with his own eyes were one foot tall, with shaggy heads and ugly faces. , blue-faced fangs, and covered with rattan armor, it is invulnerable.

500 years ago, this land boundary was originally a small country called Zhuya. In this country, from the dignitaries to the common people, everyone was good at witchcraft.It is said that General Qi Jiguang of the former dynasty was ordered to lead troops to destroy this country. The great wizard of this country planted witchcraft in this Gobi before the country was destroyed. Now these sand ghosts are the Gu planted by the great wizard. .So, this group of things that are neither humans nor beasts are just a group of demons and ghosts that cannot be killed or destroyed. "

The post officer sighed and said: "In the past year, there have been eight hundred people who have been eaten alive by these sand ghosts. Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing, I advise the generals not to go deep into dangerous situations That's good."

Liang Jin said: "Since this sand ghost is acting like this, didn't the government send troops to encircle and suppress it?"

The post officer replied: "I also sent soldiers to ride in on camels and horses to catch them, but these sand ghosts are very powerful. It is said that they can run like leopards, and they can fly with the help of sand and dust."

He shook his head and said: "Not only did the soldiers sent by the government fail to catch a sand ghost, but they all became a meal for the sand ghosts. Now, no one dares to take risks anymore."

Back in the house, Jing Shu saw Li Ling frowning, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, even you were frightened by the sand ghost that the station official said?"

Li Ling looked up at his wife and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you."

As he spoke, he scratched the tip of his little wife's nose with his fingers: "I didn't expect you to be very courageous. After hearing such a terrifying thing, you are not only not afraid, but you can also laugh."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "I have such a mighty husband protecting me, so I'm naturally not afraid."

Although he knew that his little wife was just flattering him casually, Li Ling still enjoyed it very much. He lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead.

Jing Shu pushed him and said angrily, "I haven't washed my hair for two days."

Leaving Xiaochun City, it is a place to eat and sleep in the open, so there is no room for bathing. Even the post house where I stayed last night, because it is next to the Gobi, lacks water sources. It is difficult to drink water here, and there is no extra water for bathing.

Li Ling smiled and said, "Even if you don't take a bath, it still smells good."

It's rare for a straight man's husband to say a word of love, and Jing Shu quickly rewarded him with a kiss.

The two of them were getting bored here, Ziyun came in with his head down and said: "My lord, General Zhou and General Liang are waiting for you outside, they said they have something to return."

Li Ling agreed, and said to Jingshu: "Just relying on the one-sided words of that Yi Cheng, it is not credible. I just ordered them to go outside to inquire about the sand ghost."

He looked at his wife gently: "You wait for me in the house, I will go back after discussing with them."

After Li Ling left, Jing Shu remembered that the travel notes Liu Yunzhi gave her seemed to have recorded the customs here.

Zhou Jin, Liang Jin and other confidants and adjutants went out to inquire about the situation of Youjiao and Sand Ghost, and they are reporting back with Li Ling.

Zhou Jin said: "Cousin, what the postman said is true. For the past year, the Gobi has been haunted by sand ghosts, and what everyone said is the same as what the postman said."

Li Ling looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you think?"

Liang Jin replied: "Since the rumors about this sand ghost are true, and the general is taking his wife with him, the general thinks it's better not to take risks."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Dahai yelled: "There are no monsters and ghosts in the world. You are usually not afraid of anything, but now you suddenly become a mother-in-law."

Being robbed by Hu Dahai, Liang Jin hastily lowered his head halfway.

Hu Dahai patted Liang Jin's shoulder carelessly: "What's there to be afraid of? I think those people are scaring themselves."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Jin's face, and raised his voice in surprise, "Oh! Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you still blushing?"

He laughed haha: "Why do you suddenly look like a girl?"

Li Ling stopped Hu Haihai and said, "Let's talk about business, don't mess around anymore."

Hu Dahai quickly shut up.

Zhou Jin went on to say: "General Liang is right. Cousin and sister-in-law are really not suitable for taking risks. It's just that we have errands and this is the only way to Nanjun, but we can't do it."

Li Ling replied: "It's true that you can't go, but right now, you don't know what these things are? If they are really invulnerable as they say, and they can't be killed, then we are going to be in danger. .”

He has a lovely wife with him, so there are naturally more scruples.

"Husband, don't worry."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Jing Shu slowly walked in from the outside.

Seeing his wife approaching, Li Ling quickly got up and went to the door, standing in front of her tightly and saying, "What are you doing here?"

Along the way, as long as she got out of the car, Li Ling would either wrap up his wife tightly, or send the soldiers away.

In the heart of a big man like Li Ling, his wife's beauty can only be admired by himself, and any man who takes a look at it will make him feel uncomfortable.

Jingshu naturally knew what he was thinking, so she didn't go any further, but stood at the door and said, "I've seen related records about this area in the book, and these sand ghosts are just the people of Zhu Yaguo, they are not Demons. Because Zhu Yaguo is a descendant of the Da Yue clan, they are taller than normal people. As for their strange appearance, it should be caused by living in the desert for a long time and the harsh environment."

"It can be seen that they are not the ghosts in the legend, but also human beings."

Li Ling didn't move his body away. After hearing his wife finish speaking, he nodded towards her: "I see, you go back first."

When his wife turned around and disappeared, Li Ling turned back from the door. Seeing Hu Dahai stretching his neck and looking out, Li Ling gave him a blank look, and said coldly, "What are you looking at?"

Hu Dahai still stretched his neck and looked out, and replied, "Why did Mrs. Sister-in-law leave without coming in?"

Li Ling looked at him even colder.

Zhou Jin, who was sitting on the side, hastily tugged on Lahu Dahai's lapel: "Don't look at it, let's talk about business."

Only then did Hu Dahai turn his eyeballs back, but he heard Li Ling who was standing above him say coldly: "This post house is really simple, and I think the mud on the roofs of some houses has fallen off."

As he said that, he looked at Hu Dahai: "Go out later and repair the roofs of all the houses."

Hu Dahai stared at the eyes as big as copper bells, and hesitated: "General, how can I repair a house?"

Li Ling turned a deaf ear and said, "Let's continue talking about the Gobi."

Zhou Jin replied: "If it's true as Mrs. Sister-in-law said, those monsters are also human beings, then there must be a way to destroy them."

Before Li Ling could reply, Hu Dahai still couldn't remember, and said, "I can't imagine that Madam is not only beautiful, but also knows so many things that we men don't know."

Li Ling's face sank again, and he directly ordered Hu Dahai: "Go out and repair the house with the mud."
