Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 68
In the past, he felt that there was nothing in this world that could not be explained clearly. Those who are clear will clear themselves up. If the words are weak, his actions can always block Youyou's mouth.

But here, words or deeds are so pale.

Zhan Zhao smiled miserably, and slowly lowered the hand holding Ju Que: "I won't fight you."

"If you don't fight with me, do you want to kill me?" Duanmucui thought it was absurd, and slowly stroked the chain with her long and slender fingers, touching the sharp edge of the spear, "Zhan Zhao, draw your sword."

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and didn't move, his neck suddenly felt cold, and the tip of the chain gun was already pressed against his throat.

"I don't have much patience." It could be seen that Duanmucui was suppressing his anger, "If you don't show your sword, I will cut your throat."

"I just don't know how to satisfy the general." Zhan Zhao said suddenly.

"What if I win? What if I lose? The general doesn't want my life. If he wants me to die, he won't delay until today. He doesn't let me die, and he doesn't let me live in peace. He is suspicious of me everywhere. It is a crime to escape, and it is a crime to come back. It is a crime to bear the suspicion of killing the vice president. It is still a crime to clear up grievances for oneself. General, please ask yourself, how do you deal with yourself?"

His words were forceful and resounding, Duanmucui was startled, his hands trembled slightly, and the tip of the gun flicked, drawing a very thin bloodstain on Zhan Zhao's neck.

"You..." Duanmucui gritted his teeth, "You said earlier that you were moved by people's words and wanted to make some achievements in this troubled world. I can assume that you are going to join me. But Zhan Zhao, since you joined my banner, You should just listen to me, how dare you fight against me? The swords and halberds face each other first, the poisoned wine is the second, come in and out at will, and treat our barracks as nothing?"

Zhan Zhao laughed back angrily, "So in the eyes of the general, I'm guilty only because I'm disobedient?"

Duanmucui was taken aback, but acquiesced.

"Zhan Zhao is a majestic man, standing upright, even if he really joins the general's banner, he will stand by his sword and make a great achievement. He will never just look up to the general and obey his orders just to please the general. General Thornwood I was caged first, and the poisoned wine forced me later, all relying on my spirit without asking why, treating Zhan Zhao as a faceless and boneless person, trampling him like stepping on grass, what qualifications do I have to want Zhan Zhao to be the reward of Qiong Yao? It must be that there are too many people wagging their tails at the general on weekdays, the general thinks that the whole world is full of people like Gao Bojian who flatter and flatter the general?"

Duanmucui's face turns white and green, and she has never been criticized in person like this in her life.During the stalemate, there were footsteps outside, accompanied by Ami's crisp voice: "Girl."

Duanmucui quickly retracted the chain gun, then turned around, not looking at Zhan Zhao again.

The curtain was lifted, bringing in a slight chill, and Ami's face was flushed by the night wind. Her eyes rested on Zhan Zhao for a while, and a smile appeared in her bright eyes: "Girl, the military tent has been closed. Packed up, shall I take Zhan Zhao there now?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Duanmucui: She asked someone to pack up the military tent for him?
"No need." Duanmucui's eyelashes drooped, her tone was flat, "After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao is still not suitable to stay. You can send him out of the barracks."

Ami was startled, not understanding why Duanmucui changed his mind in such a short period of time: "Send him out of the barracks? Then... where is Zhan Zhao going?"

"How do I know." Duanmucui's face darkened, "Anyi is so big, he can go wherever he likes, as long as he doesn't dangle in front of my eyes!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't want to stay for a moment longer, she walked past Ami with a frown, lifted the curtain fiercely, and went out as soon as she got low.

Ami was stunned, looking at the curtain that was still gently swaying and then at Zhan Zhao, with a look of bewilderment, before hesitating for a long time: "Zhan Zhao, why...how did you offend our girl?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, he paused and asked softly: "The general asked you to pack the army tent for me?"

"Yes." As soon as this was mentioned, Ami's beautiful eyebrows frowned again, "After I sent away General Gao Bojian and the others, the girl asked me to pack a clean military tent and come out. A military guard sent you... who knows how fast it takes, oh..."

Ami sighed softly, pulling on the belt around her waist with one hand in anger, and suddenly saw that Zhan Zhao's expression was not right, and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "But our girl has always had such a temper, and what I just said is about to change suddenly. Not sure... Zhan Zhao, the girl asked me to send you out of the camp, which means I let you go, I think the girl no longer suspects that you are Chaoge's secret agent, but... where are you going?"

When she asked this question, she felt very uneasy, afraid that Zhan Zhao would say that she wanted to stay away from Anyi.

Zhan Zhao was disturbed by Ami's words just now, he thought that Duanmucui was suspicious of him and couldn't hold back his anger, that's why he had the previous angrily reprimanded, originally thinking that according to Duanmucui's temperament, he would be furious, but he didn't know what to do. How many funeral incidents happened, unexpectedly she endured it, and asked Ami to send him away——Thinking of this episode, Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly emptied, his words were so serious, I don't know if Duanmucui took it to heart Go, if you are staying in Kaifeng, you must have left with red eye circles.For a while, I felt uncomfortable and distressed, and then I thought again, why did I go into the sinking abyss, why did I lose all the peace and tranquility I used to, so irritable and unbearable?
For a moment, he was in a state of confusion, filled with mixed feelings, Amir called him several times before he came back to his senses: "What?"

"I'm asking you, will you leave Anyi?" Ami bit her lip, looking forward and nervous at the same time.

"There is nowhere to go for a while, so stay in Anyi for now, and then figure out a way out."

Ami's heart fell back to the ground, and she smiled, extremely cute: "Then I'll take you out, Zhan Zhao, where are you going to live?"

Zhan Zhao knew very few people in Anyi, so he subconsciously said, "Maybe I'll go back to Qimu's house first..." Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly thought of Qimu's family, and hurriedly said, "Miss Ami, general... what will happen? Deal with the people of Qimu's family?"

Ami was puzzled: "Zhan Zhao, you are not related to Qimu's family, why do you miss them so much?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "With so many evidences found that secretly communicated with Chaoge, Qimu's family must have done it carefully. It's just that those two old guys have very strict mouths, no matter how tortured they are, they can't ask a word." , I must have thought of death. Listen to the general's tone, don't care about this matter after the Duanmu camp, and let General Gao Bojian take care of the aftermath."

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but slightly bowed his hands to Ami: "Miss Ami, Zhan Zhao has something to ask."

"what's up?"

"In the case of Qi Mu's family, most of the accusations of secretly informing Chaoge will fall on Qi Muding and Qi Mu Dian. The rest of Qi Mu's family, such as Miss Qi Mu Yiluo, and a group of servants If you are implicated in a crime, you won’t be punished with death. If it’s not too embarrassing, please ask Miss Ami to say something nice for them.”

Ami listened quietly, and according to her status, she wanted to go to Gao Bojian to say a good word to Qimu's family. Presumably Gao Bojian would betray her, but...

Miss Qimu Yiluo...

Ami suddenly remembered that when he went to the dungeon to arrest Zhan Zhao, the woman standing behind Zhan Zhao, although her expression was miserable and her hair disheveled, but when she looked closely, she was indeed a beauty.Zhan Zhao has no time to protect himself, yet pleads for her?

Feeling very uncomfortable for a while, feeling wronged and unhappy, just bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhan Zhao saw that her complexion was different, but he didn't guess her many thoughts. He thought she was just embarrassed, and then smiled slightly: "Miss Ami, if it's embarrassing, what Zhan said just now, you just pretend you haven't heard it, don't go to it." Just go with your heart."

Ami smiled: "Brother Zhan, I'll just write it down. When I'm free some other day, I'll go to Gao Bojian to ask him for this favor."

She suddenly changed her name to Brother Zhan, and Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, surprise flashed from the bottom of his eyes, and he lowered his eyelashes, calmly: "In that case, Miss Ami is troubled."

Duanmucui didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning, Zhan Zhao sternly scolded her every time she closed her eyes, every word was as sharp as a steel cone, which made her feel chest tightness even just thinking about it, and she suddenly regretted: Do you know why Zhan Zhao was released so easily? You should hang him up and give him a beating.

It was only in the middle of the night that she became drowsy and sleepy, and when she was falling asleep, someone beside her pillow called her softly: "General, General."

Duanmucui woke up in shock, turned over and got out of bed, only to find that the tent was full of fog and cold, and there seemed to be a hoarse whimpering sound outside the tent, the sound was horrible, it made one's hair stand on end.

Duanmu Cuisu knew that there were quite a lot of talented people in Chaoge's army, who practiced some strange and confusing methods, but he was not afraid, so he smiled coldly, took a lotus flower in his hand, and walked to the tent door without even wearing a cloak Slowly stretch out your hand and lift the curtain.

The outside room was no longer the same as the daytime, the sky turned yellowish yellow, thick clouds and low pressure, crows swarmed past, and there was no one in front of the guards who were originally protecting the main tent.

Duanmucui remained calm and was about to take a step when she suddenly felt something strange. When she looked down, there was a huge black pit in front of the main tent. with a woman.

It was too far away to see clearly, but I vaguely felt that the woman was wearing a lavender dress, and her face seemed somewhat familiar.Duanmucui felt a strange feeling in her heart, and for some reason, she bent down...

In just a split second, two black tentacles suddenly protruded from the depths of the mud at the bottom of the pit, coming like lightning, and the sound was extremely terrifying.Duanmucui's heart tightened, and just as she was about to retreat, the tentacle seemed to be conscious, one wrapped her around the waist, and the other grabbed her throat, dragging her down.

Duanmucui plunged headlong into the mud, her eyes were pitch black, and there was a gurgling sound in her ears. She felt that the warm and sticky mud almost enveloped her whole body. He couldn't stop coughing, and took a big breath.

When the breath calmed down a bit, he stretched out his hand to wipe the mud on the bottom, and when he looked around, he was suddenly bitten by lightning.

How did that woman who was sleeping quietly surrounded by mud look... so similar to her?

Or it can't be said to be similar, it can be called exactly the same, Duanmucui looked at her, feeling like he was taking a selfie in a mirror.

While she was in a daze, the sound of mud rolling and splashing behind her suddenly became louder. Duanmucui turned her head unconsciously, and saw a ball of mud rising higher and higher, and then gradually transformed into a human shape, with only an empty outline, and two deep holes on her head. Hole, stare at her.

"General..."

The sound came suddenly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its core, it was hoarse and obscure, it made Duanmucui break out in a cold sweat.

"who are you?"

The man seemed to sigh: "The general shouldn't have come."

Duanmucui regained her composure, and slowly pressed one hand towards Chuanxinlianhua: "Absurd, if you didn't perform such ghostly tricks, how could I be here?"

"Isn't the general satisfied?" The man's empty eye sockets were so dark that he couldn't see the end, "General now, it can be said that he wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain. He has the tribe's children to accompany him with all his strength, and the soldiers in the camp will support him to the death. , don’t worry about high positions, don’t worry about honors, and in time, you will be able to stay and fly with the person you love and love forever. There is nothing more joy in this world than this, isn’t the general satisfied?”

Duanmucui pretended to be perfunctory to him: "Naturally satisfied."

The man sneered: "Satisfactory? If you are satisfied, how can the stagnant pool of sinking abyss boil like this? You must know that everything in the world is perfect, but it is difficult to be perfect. The general is good at weighing himself. If you really want to do it for someone who has nothing to do with you , pay for everything you have in Xiqi?"

"Evil!" Duanmucui yelled angrily, and the chain gun was thrown forward, cutting straight down from the man's skull, and he heard two dry laughs, the man melted into the mud quickly, and where he disappeared, the muddy water rolled more violently.

"General..."

Duanmucui gritted her teeth, it seems that this thing is invincible, it can only be described as a ghost.

Turning back slowly, not far behind him, the man stood treacherously, with black slurry dripping all over his body, making him want to vomit.

"General..." The man's voice gradually turned cold, "I only hope that the general will cherish his present and stop worrying about others. Otherwise, if she is awakened, everything the general has will disappear in a flash."

Awakened... her?

For some reason, Duanmucui seemed to sense something, her eyes gradually drifted away, and finally fell on the sleeping woman at the bottom of the pool.

"Who is she? Why would I wake her up?" Duanmucui was confused, "How can she be woken up?"

"She is you, and you are her. The reason why she can't wake up for a long time is because this is Shen Yuan, and it is enough for you to be awake. You are for Shen Yuan, for Xiqi, and for your concern in Xiqi. Living as a human, you should not have other distractions, let alone dabble in her thoughts. Every time you dabble and fall into a point, she will wake up a bit. Can't live with her, do you understand?"

Duanmucui had a splitting headache, and suddenly thought of something: "Then where is she now?"

The man laughed loudly, and suddenly a tentacle branched out from his body, twisting and turning, and lightly grasping Duanmucui's shoulder, whispering in an extremely low voice, like a cold and wriggling worm: "In you In your body, she follows you like a shadow, never far away."

When Duanmucui woke up, she felt dizzy, as if she had had a very long dream, but she couldn't remember it clearly, so she stood up while leaning on the bed rail, and almost lost her foot when she lifted her foot.

Ami heard the movement outside, quickly took Duanmucui's cloak and came in, who knew that Duanmucui had already lay down, when she looked closer, she saw that Duanmucui's complexion was not very good, she couldn't help worrying: "Girl, are you alright?"

Duanmu Cui hummed, then paused and said: "I'm very tired today, Ami, watch over the morning training of Bingwei, come back to me if you have anything to do."

Ami responded, lightly put the cloak on the head of the bed, took two steps outside and then turned around: "Girl, what's your appetite today, what do you want to eat?"

After waiting for a while, but Duanmucui didn't answer, Ami stuck out her tongue and put her foot down even more lightly.Just as she was about to go out, Duanmucui sat up suddenly: "Ami, give me the jade tablet and the dagger."

Ami responded, and went to get it from the outside, when it was brought, Duanmucui had already put on her clothes, took the jade tablet with her left hand, and carved words on the jade tablet with a dagger in her right hand.Ami carefully supported it, and gently blew away the jade chips carved on the jade tablet from time to time.

At that time, the characters had weird and complicated shapes and were not popular. Although Ami knew that Duanmucui was carving characters, she didn't know what she was writing.Duanmu Cui'e finished in a moment, stroked the jade tablet with his slender fingers, took out a piece of silk from his pillow to wrap it in, and said to Ami: "Ami, after the morning exercise, you will go to the Prime Minister's side for me, and take this jade tablet. Give it to General Yang Jian."

It was almost noon when Ami delivered the jade tablet. Yang Jian was practicing with the lieutenant general in front of the camp. When he heard someone from Duanmu Camp, he was slightly startled, and threw the bronze three-pointed double-edged knife in his hand at the lieutenant general. He said in a deep voice: "Take Come in."

Although Ami is often on the same level as Duanmucui, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous with Yang Jian, and immediately presents the jade plaque after meeting.Yang Jian took the jade card, and Fang opened the silk, and suddenly let out a cry, and said strangely: "Shen Yuan?"

When he said this, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at Ami.Ami hurriedly said: "I don't know anything, the girl woke up strangely today, she didn't say anything, so she asked me to send this letter."

Yang Jian smiled faintly: "I see, you should go back first."

Ami bowed and retreated, then went to the tent door, heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, hurriedly retreated to the side, and saw the curtain was lifted, the man who came in was tall and handsome, his eyebrows were as straight as a knife carved, he was exactly the boss .

Hubchang didn't expect to see Ami here, so he subconsciously looked into the tent.Ami pursed her lips and smiled: "Only I came, my girl didn't come."

Hubchang was not wary of letting Ami speak out, so he could only talk to him from left to right: "Why are you here, how is your general?"

Ami pointed behind her quietly: "I sent the letter for the girl. If you want to know, ask General Yang Jian." While speaking, she giggled and lifted the curtain to go out.

Zhu Chang smiled wryly, and immediately strode into the tent: "Did the letter arrive from Duanmu? But there is something strange on the other side of Anyi?"

Yang Jian shook his head: "Duanmu's letter came in a strange way. It's very polite. How could she ask about Shen Yuan?"

"Shen Yuan?" Zhu Chang was a little confused, "What is that?"
