Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 69
"It's nothing serious. Shen Yuan is not a human being, and we practitioners have only heard about it a little bit. I don't know what kind of temper Duanmu got, so we hurriedly sent someone to inquire about it."

"Then how did you come back?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I'll let Ami go back to the camp first. Later, I'll go to Duanmu Camp and take a look at that girl." After speaking, he looked at Zhuchang meaningfully, "I just wonder if anyone wants to go with her. ?”

Ami returned to the camp, thinking about going to report to Duanmucui about Yang Jian's coming, but when she entered the inner tent, the bed was empty, the cloak was still hanging on the head of the bed, but Duanmucui was gone.

After searching again, I saw that Duanmucui's daily clothes were missing a set of casual clothes, so I made a guess in my heart, went out of the tent and asked the guard soldiers, only to find out that not long before she came back, Duanmucui had just left without mentioning where she was going. He only said that he was walking around in Anyi city.

Ami had no choice but to order down to prepare wine and soup, but she didn't dare to wander around, for fear that after Yang Jian arrived, Duanmuying wouldn't even have a leader, so she would be rude for no reason.

Besides, Duanmucui, after resting in the tent for a while, she became more and more bored, so she simply put on her clothes.I originally wanted to wear a cloak, but then I thought about it, Mo Ruo went out for a walk, but wearing a cloak would be eye-catching, because I chose a casual suit, and my hair was slightly tied, which is not particularly eye-catching.

Along the way, the city of Anyi is indeed pitifully small.I don't know if it's because the Xiqi army has been stationed here recently, the people in the city are all timid, a little shy.Duanmucui stopped and walked along the main street in the city, and gradually came to a big house, because she thought: This house is quite grand, presumably it is a big family in Anyi city.Coincidentally, someone passed by, Duanmucui was half curious and half idle, so she asked the man who owned the house, but the man's face changed suddenly, and he said "Qi Mu's family", and refused to say more. I went in a hurry.

Duanmucui was puzzled for a moment, and it took him a moment to realize: No wonder the word "Qimu" is so familiar, it turned out to be the household that was handed over to Gao Bojian to deal with the aftermath.

When thinking this way, he couldn't help but look at the Qimu Mansion twice more, and after looking more, he saw something strange, but he saw cooking smoke curling up from the chimney in the courtyard.

Duanmucui's heart skipped a beat: Didn't all of Qimu's family go to prison?Is it possible that there are still fish that slipped through the net?
In the clear sky and broad daylight, Duanmucui was not afraid of any changes in the people in the house, so she openly opened the door and entered.The door was ajar, and the bar was not unlatched.

The courtyard was in a mess, all of which were the brilliant results of the Xiqi Army's raid two days ago.Duanmucui carefully avoided the overturned objects in the courtyard, and went into the kitchen.

But there was no one in the stove, the fire in the stove was booming, the firewood was crackling, and there was a mouthful of pottery on the stove, bubbling hot steam.Duanmucui was curious, and couldn't help but lift the lid of the Tao Yu, but she forgot that the lid of the Tao Yu was also extremely hot. When she saw the bubbling white porridge mixed with vegetables in the Tao Yu, she was stunned. After a moment of surprise, he realized that his five fingers were scalding terribly, he let out a cry of pain, and quickly let go.

When he looked down, his fingers were already hot red.Duanmucui waved her hands again and again, panting in pain, suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, someone came in with chopped firewood, dressed in a clean blue shirt, tall and slender, with handsome features and deep black eyes, It was Zhan Zhao.

The two were not wary of meeting here, they were both taken aback.

Zhan Zhao glanced around, saw Tao Yugai hit the ground first, and Duanmucui couldn't help shaking his hands, he immediately guessed one or two, quickly dropped the firewood in his hand, strode over, grabbed Duanmucui's wrist, and said :"come over."

Duanmucui was caught off guard, was pulled away by him, and a strange thought came to her mind: Zhan Zhao thought that I was going to steal his porridge?

When he was thinking wildly, he staggered and almost bumped into Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao had already stopped, lifted the cover of the water tank in front of him, grabbed Duanmucui's hand and went straight down.

The water in the tank was cold, reaching the crook of the arm, and the place that was scalded before touched the cold water, and it was extremely itchy.Duanmucui subconsciously withdrew her hand, but Zhan Zhao grabbed her wrist and couldn't pull it back.

The water in the tank oscillated in all directions, and the ripples agitated endlessly.

I heard Zhan Zhao gently say: "Fortunately, it's not too hot, and it doesn't get blisters yet, so soak it in water more often, don't bandage it, and don't scratch it no matter how itchy it is, it will heal naturally in a day or two."

Duanmucui stared blankly at Zhan Zhao, the water gradually calmed down, and reflected the two people who were very close, almost ambiguous.

Zhan Zhao's head buzzed, and he realized it all at once: He actually forgot that she was General Duanmu!

Even Duanmucui felt the instant stiffness of Zhan Zhao's body.He slowly withdrew his hand, embarrassed beyond words: "General...soak it for a while, after you feel better...let's talk."

In just a few words, he spoke with great difficulty. He froze on the spot for a while, then walked back to the door, bent down to gather up the scattered firewood, went to the hearth, knelt down, and added firewood to the hearth. firewood.Not long after, the flames leaped up, creating flickering outlines on Zhan Zhao's face.

The vegetable porridge in the pot boiled even harder, and the slightly salty aroma of the rice porridge gradually filled the whole room.

"Has the general eaten?"

Duanmucui was not wary of his question, and responded casually: "Not yet."

"If you don't think the place is too shabby, why don't you leave after eating?"

"Ah?" Duanmucui was a little unresponsive, "Just... porridge?"

Zhan Zhao smiled: "If there is only Zhan Zhao alone, drinking porridge is enough to support him. But if you want to stay with the general for meals, naturally it can't be so monotonous. The general will wait a moment, Zhan Zhao will come when he goes."

Before Duanmucui could speak, he leaned the giant que against the stove, stood up with a shake of his clothes, and went out.

It wasn't until Zhan Zhao walked away that Duanmucui realized what he should do.

What is this? Yesterday she was fighting to the death, but today she actually ran to Zhan Zhao's place... The two of them were in harmony and came to have lunch together?

The more Duanmucui thought about it, the more awkward he felt, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, when he suddenly heard the voices of people outside the house, mixed with the sound of horseshoes, his heart tightened: It is said that only Gao Bojian and his own are stationed in Anyi City. Beibei, what happened, the Pegasus crossing the city in broad daylight?

When she was thinking this way, she didn't think much of it, and rushed out the door a few steps, just in time for a group of hussars guarding the past, and the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves made her cough.Amidst the flying smoke and dust, Duanmucui could clearly see the back of one of them, "Yang Jian!"

Before the words fell, the horses in front neighed in unison, Yang Jian reined in the horses, and laughed loudly: "Duanmu, you are here!"

Immediately turned to Zhuchang: "Connect Duanmu, let's go back to the camp together."

Zhuchang smiled and said: "That's natural." He turned the horse's head, his legs pinched the horse's belly, the horse gave a chirping sound, and ran back and forth along the road, and when he was approaching Duanmucui, he leaned down slightly, She stretched out her hand towards Duanmucui.

Duanmucui smiled slyly: "Zhuchang, be careful."

Seeing the strange color in her eyes, Zhu Chang knew something was wrong, and when he was about to retract his hand, he didn't know that Duanmucui moved extremely fast, stretched out his hand to grab his arm, his legs were almost twisted into the saddle at the same time, and he let out a low sound. Drink: "Come down!"

She used her strength skillfully, and the boss was unprepared, and she actually pulled her out of the saddle. She wanted to prevent her from getting on the horse, but she was afraid of falling, so she sighed secretly, so she had to use her strength to lift her lightly. One hand, land firmly.

Duanmucui snatched the horse after a few tricks, she was so proud of herself, she grabbed the rein and sat up straight, she ran forward a few steps before turning the horse's head, smiling at the hub.

Yang Jian shook his head with a smile and sighed: "Nonsense, we will really get married in the future, but what happened?"

The deputy general at the side also came to join in the fun: "I heard that the prime minister has agreed to the marriage of General Duanmu and General Zhuchang."

"Yes." Yang Jian nodded, "After taking down Chongcheng, this is a great joy."

The lieutenant general laughed dryly, Yang Jian paused, and said loudly: "Duanmu, what's the matter, let's go back to the camp first."

Duanmucui responded, rode his horse over, and when he passed by Zhuchang, he stretched out his hand to pull him onto the horse.With a kick, Zhuchang sat behind Duanmucui, put his hands around her and held the rein, and said with a smile, "You sit still."

Duanmucui raised her head and said with a smile: "It's you who should sit still, if I'm not happy alone, I should kick you down again."

While speaking, Yang Jian had already galloped forward with his horse on the other end, Zhu Chang tightened his spurs, and then followed, Fang hurried a few steps, suddenly felt that Duanmucui's body froze, felt strange, lowered his head and said: "What's wrong?"

Duanmucui smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, the elder brother is ahead, let's hurry up."

Zhu Chang didn't doubt that it was there, he kicked the spur fiercely, and the horse neighed like an arrow flying off the string.

Duanmucui couldn't help turning her head to look in the direction she came from.

There, the smoke and dust gradually died down, revealing Zhan Zhao's thin and vague outline.

Ami had already prepared food and drinks in the camp, and after several people sat down to the table, they poured out glasses, which was quite lively.Because Duanmucui met Zhan Zhao first, she secretly blamed herself for walking in a hurry—at that time when she saw her eldest brother and Zhuchang, on a whim, she forgot to say goodbye to him; A basket with a lot of things in it.It made him busy for nothing, and I don't know what he thinks...

For a while, she was more or less depressed, so listless that she couldn't get excited, Yang Jian asked her a few times before she came back to her senses, and asked in a daze, "What?"

Yang Jian was both angry and funny: "Girl, what are you thinking? Your soul is gone. I'm asking you, what happened to the jade letterhead that Ami sent over this morning?"

"I had a dream last night." Duanmucui put his hand on his forehead, and frowned slightly, "I don't quite remember, but I have a vague impression that someone has been mentioning Shen Yuan to me...Brother, what is Shen Yuan? "

Yang Jian put it lightly and briefly said: "If you talk about Shen Yuan, you have to mention Ming Dao, but these are all old things, even us cultivators don't know much about them. Duanmu, why do you want to ask it? Is it possible to imagine it?" Cultivate immortals with me?"

Duanmucui glared at him: "I don't want it."

Yang Jian laughed loudly: "With your temperament, you won't be able to subdue it in 800 years. I don't think you can become a fairy. It's okay to give you a fairy."

Duanmu Cui smiled: "Can you really give it away? Brother, if you can give it away, you can give me one, so as to save me the trouble of cultivating immortals."

Yang Jian just shook his head with a smile, drank another round of wine, and suddenly remembered something: "Duanmu, what I told you last time, that young man, how is he doing now?"

Duanmucui was not wary that he would mention Zhan Zhao, she was at a loss for words, and then said after a pause: "Later, General Gao and I checked carefully, he was not the murderer of Yudu, I... let him go."

Yang Jian was taken aback, put the wine back on the table unconsciously, stared at Duanmucui, and said indifferently: "You let it go?"

"Yes."

"Have you found out his identity?"

"He...is from Dongyi, and has nothing to do with Chaoge."

Yang Jian frowned gradually: "He said he was from Dongyi, did you send someone to Dongyi to check?"

Duanmucui was silent for a long time before whispering: "No."

A trace of anger flashed across Yang Jian's eyes, he forced himself to suppress his anger, and paused every word: "I told you that his sword looks like a giant sword, so you should try to stabilize him anyway, did you listen?"

Duanmucui lowered her eyes, but remained silent.

Yang Jian's heart became angry, and he slapped his palm on the table suddenly: "Do you know what time it is? There are rumors that Chaoge sent a master to plot to assassinate General Xiqi, and it's too late to hunt him down. You let him go." gone?"

Duanmucui bit her lips: "I don't think he...is like a treacherous person."

"Not like?" Yang Jian was really angry this time, "Duanmucui, is this your first day as a general? When did you stop judging people only by their likeness? Which secret writer would write words on his face to let him know?" Are you going to admit it?"

Duanmucui let him roar, and also became angry: "In short, he is not, if I say no, he is not, he is not!"

Zhuchang had a headache, he knew the temper of the two of them, Duanmucui never admits his mistakes, how could Yang Jian get along with each other?If these two people fight, it will be more troublesome than fighting Chongcheng.Seeing the stalemate, he had no choice but to come out to be a peacemaker.

"Duanmu, Yang Jian is also for your own good. At this critical moment, it is better to be cautious. Where did that person go? Is he still near Anyi?"

"Not anymore." Duanmucui answered him, but his eyes were looking at Yang Jian, "I told him, the farther you go, the better, lest that Yang Jian come and take you back again, and you will have to toss half to death .”

"You!" Yang Jian was so angry that he raised his eyes to see Duanmucui's stubborn face. There was nowhere to vent his anger. He suddenly reached out and brushed off the cup on the table, raised his cloak, and strode out of the tent.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of trampling horseshoes.Zhu Chang secretly yelled that something was wrong, and rushed out to lift the curtain, only to see that Yang Jian and his personal guards had already galloped away.

Zhu Chang smiled wryly: "Duanmu, why did you come here? He made a special trip to see you, but you were so angry that he left."

Duanmucui didn't know what happened to her today, she couldn't hold back her breath, and drank a while in a moody mood.Zhu Chang persuaded her once, seeing that it was getting late, he gave her a few words and left.

When I went to bed at night, I reached out to untie my clothes belt, and my fingers touched the knot, and suddenly it hurt like a heart, and when I looked up, there were two blisters on the index finger and middle finger.

Duanmucui frowned, took a needle and poked it carefully, and suddenly remembered Zhan Zhao's words.

"Fortunately, the scalding is not severe, and there are no blisters yet. Soak it in water more often, don't bandage it, and don't scratch it even if it itches. It will heal naturally in a day or two."

I don't know how Zhan Zhao is doing now...

Duanmucui thought of the little pottery pot above the stove, where wild vegetables were mixed with white porridge.

"If there is only Zhan Zhao alone, drinking porridge is enough to support him."

Is Zhan Zhao still injured?Eating so lightly...

In a daze, I seemed to see Zhan Zhao's eyes, calm and gentle, with a slight smile, as if he was saying to her again: "But if you want to stay with the general for dinner, naturally it can't be so monotonous. General, wait a moment, Zhan Zhao Zhao will come as soon as he goes.”

Duanmucui was so annoyed that she sat for a long time in a daze, suddenly her heart turned, she threw the needle in her hand, and walked out quickly.

When he went out, he almost bumped into Ami, and Ami asked, "Girl, where are you going?"

"Go and come." She walked extremely fast, and before she finished speaking, she was already several feet away.

Ami said anxiously: "General, do you want someone to follow?"

This time, there was no response at all.

Ami sighed, and when he entered the room, he saw that the quilt was in a mess, and there was something delicate and shiny in the middle, and when he looked closer, it was a through-heart lotus.

He didn't even bring the Chuanxin lotus flower with him, so it seemed that he did not go far, and he came as soon as he went.

Ami shook her head, and started tidying up Duanmucui's bed, when suddenly there was an ahh, almost jumped up.

She promised Zhan Zhao to go to Gaobojian camp to intercede for Qi Mu Yiluo and the others, how could she forget?
Duanmucui left in a hurry, the two guards at the camp gate didn't dare to ask more questions, and they couldn't help muttering until she was far away: "The general went out at night, why didn't anyone follow him?"

While muttering, Ami also hurried over and went out like a gust of wind.The two looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief: Miss Ami is following, it must be fine.

Duanmucui walked quickly for a while, and arrived at the main street where Qimu's mansion is located.Just like in the past, this Anyi city was lifeless at night, and there was no one on the road.

Duanmucui suddenly slowed down.

For some reason, she always felt that someone was following her.

After walking a few more steps, she couldn't help turning her head, the blackness behind her made her feel a little flustered.

It seems... there is no one there.

Duanmucui secretly laughed at herself being suspicious, and was about to turn around when she suddenly felt something strange in the wind.She reacted very quickly, she didn't have time to see anything, she rolled away on the ground with a low body, when she looked up, the blade was shining like a flood, and the cold blade was slashing from where she was standing just now.

As soon as the breath settled, there was a clanging sound behind him.Listening to the wind, Duanmucui turned around and saw a long chain full of thorns and copper thorns out of the corner of her eyes, and her heart turned from anger to shock.The chain of thorns meant to thwart the horse, and the two of them were using it together to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack. From this point of view, there are already three of her opponents?

Sure enough, just now the knife-wielding man turned around and slashed towards him, Duanmucui angrily scolded: "You're looking for death!" He stretched out his hand to untie the Chuanxin lotus at his waist.

This groped for nothing, and suddenly my thoughts changed suddenly, and I broke out in a cold sweat: I actually dropped the through-heart lotus flower!
A master's move, there is no room for her negligence, Duanmucui regained his composure, turned his palm like a knife, and went straight to cut the wrist of the person who was wielding the knife.The man shrank extremely quickly, and the blade reversed in mid-air, taking advantage of the momentum to sweep her down.
