Chapter 63: The Strange General's Mansion
"Two sons, please do this. ”
The housekeeper led Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng to the dining room.
"Yes, it's almost time to catch up with my house. ”
Li Beixiang shook his fan and looked at the dining room.
At first glance, the dining room is not splendid, but if you look closely, you will see that the decoration is very elegant.
"It seems that this general is also a good person. ”
Li Beixiang looked at the dining room, nodded and said.
"Yes, it's really good. ”
Liu Youcheng also chimed in.
"Two sons, please wait. ”
The housekeeper arranged for Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng to sit down, and then went out.
Soon after, I saw several maidservants walking in with plates.
Li Beixiang looked at these people with a smile, as if he saw it when he was in Shuodong County.
After the two of them were full of wine and food, the sky gradually got dark.
The housekeeper arranged for Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng to stay.
Li Beixiang was lying in the wing room, pillowing a valuable jade-inlaid pillow, and looking at the roof blankly.
Suddenly, Li Beixiang noticed a dark shadow flashing outside the window.
Li Bei sat up from the bed, picked up the slashing sky leaning on the side of the bed, and walked out cautiously.
"What the hell is this?"
Li Beixiang saw a black shadow flash, and disappeared in an instant.
Liu Youcheng also walked out from next door, holding a long sword in his hand.
"Brother Li, have you found a dark shadow?"
Liu Youcheng looked at Li Beixiang and said solemnly.
"Could it be that you saw it too?"
Li Beixiang asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I saw it too, but the aura on this black shadow made me feel very strange, not like a human. ”
Liu Youcheng looked around vigilantly.
"Meow"
At this moment, the black cat jumped out of the garden on the side, with a huge mouse in her mouth, and was looking at Li Beixiang like an inviter.
"It's this cat, it scares me to death. ”
Liu Youcheng looked at it and found that it was the black cat that was sticking to Li Beixiang before, and he was immediately relieved.
"No, absolutely not. ”
Li Beixiang clenched the sky, and the cold sweat on his head continued to flow.
The black cat swallowed the mouse in one bite, and rushed to Li Beixiang's side, his head constantly rubbing against Li Beixiang's trouser leg.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the black shadow reappeared.
Li Bei looked at the black shadow, clenched the slashing sky in his hand, and slowly walked towards the black shadow.
When Liu Youcheng saw the black shadow, he only felt a cool breath rushing from the soles of his feet to his head.
Liu Youcheng held the long sword tightly, followed behind Li Beixiang, and cautiously walked towards the black shadow.
The black cat under its feet seemed to sense something, and it suddenly screamed and crawled out along the wall next to it.
Li Beixiang stared at the black shadow with his eyes, not caring at all about the behavior of the black cat under his feet.
"What's that?"
Li Beixiang suddenly rushed towards the black shadow, shouting in his mouth.
The black shadow seemed to sense the movement, and in the dim light, it seemed to look back, and then turned away, leaving only a puff of black smoke in its place.
Li Beixiang took the slashing sky and slashed towards the black smoke.
Slashing the sky on the black smoke, a blow missed.
Li Bei slashed the sky, squatted down, and carefully examined the black smoke.
"Condensed but not dispersed, its color is like ink, and it smells slightly with a faint fragrance. ”
Li Beixiang frowned and thought carefully.
"Brother Li, could it be that this is that demon cultivator? But this is unlikely, right?"
Liu Youcheng squatted down and said in a low voice.
"I don't know, I haven't seen anything like that. ”
Li Beixiang stood up and looked around, the dimly lit lanterns swaying in the breeze, and the moonlight reflected on the ground, exuding a suffocating whiteness.
At this moment, a long, mournful sound suddenly came from outside the wall.
Li Beixiang shrank his gaze, ran quickly to the wall, and leaned on the wall.
Liu Youcheng saw Li Bei going over the wall, and he followed with a grit of his teeth.
As soon as Li Beixiang landed, he saw the black cat squatting on the ground, staring straight ahead with his two eyes.
"What's the situation?"
Liu Youcheng jumped off the wall awkwardly, limped to Li Beixiang, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, look at the mouth of this black cat. ”
Li Beixiang pointed to the black cat's mouth and said solemnly.
"Blood? no, how can it be blue blood? ”
Liu Youcheng gasped, the hairs on his body stood up, and he looked around tremblingly.
"It's gone, it seems to be gone. ”
Li Bei groped around for a while, but didn't find anything unusual.
At this moment, the sound of laughter came from the garden next to me.
"Who?"
Li Beixiang snorted softly, raised the slashing sky in his hand and rushed there.
"No, it's me. ”
A servant in slave clothes raised his hands and stood up tremblingly.
"Who are you, and how did you end up here?"
Li Beixiang put the slashing sky across the slave's neck and asked in a cold voice.
"This uncle, the villain doesn't know what you say, the villain just suddenly felt a stomachache at night, but this place is too far away from the latrine, so he has to pay tribute here. ”
The servant raised his hands and looked at Li Beixiang with a frightened expression, for fear that Li Beixiang would hack himself to death if he was unhappy.
"Did you notice anything strange just now? Or did you hear a terrible cry?"
Li Beixiang put down the slashing sky in his hand and looked at the slave coldly.
The villain did not see anything strange, but he did hear a terrible cry, but it was the cry of a night owl. ”
The servant said with a shudder.
"Really?"
Li Beixiang asked rhetorically.
"The villain dares to vouch for his life, it's true. ”
Seeing that Li Beixiang didn't believe his words, the servant hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Hmph. ”
Li Beixiang snorted coldly, noncommittal. Then he turned and left.
"Brother Li, don't you think that slave is weird?"
Liu Youcheng walked next to Li Beixiang and said curiously.
"Why don't you think I didn't believe a word of what he just said. It's just that if we don't believe it, what can we do? ”
Li Beixiang pursed his lips and explained helplessly.
"After all, Lanyang County here, and Lanyang County is stationed in the General's Mansion, if there is no real evidence, do you think the people stationed in the General's Mansion will let us go?"
Li Beixiang said lightly.
At this moment, the black cat suddenly ran over, climbed up along Li Beixiang's thigh, and squatted on Li Beixiang's shoulder.
"Alright, don't think about it that much. Let's go back to bed, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Li Beixiang pushed open his door, turned his head, and said to Liu Youcheng.
"What, Brother Li, why don't I sleep in the same room with you tonight. I'm a little scared of this mindless thing. ”
Liu Youcheng grabbed Li Beixiang's arm, almost pleading.
"No, I don't like to sleep with a big man. ”
Li Beixiang shook off Liu Youcheng's hand, got into the room, and closed the door with his backhand.
Liu Youcheng stood outside the door, banging desperately on the door. But Li Beixiang didn't seem to react, and he just didn't open the door.
Liu Youcheng was standing outside, when a cold wind blew suddenly, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he hurriedly ran back to his room, closed the door, got into the bed, and covered his head.
At this moment, the slave in the courtyard next door looked at Li Bei in the direction of departure with a hideous expression.
Suddenly, he wiped his face, and a cheek fell off.
He touched the scratched wound on his face by the cat, and looked hideous.
"Hmph, I'll make you look good in the future, you wait for me, and that damn black cat. ”
The servant snorted, turned into a cloud of black smoke, and disappeared in place.
The moonlight became brighter and brighter, and under the reflection of the moonlight, a corpse faintly appeared in the grass.
The corpse was dressed in the same clothes as the slave earlier, except that the corpse had no skin.
Li Beixiang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the black cat squatting in front of him with a curious expression.
"What the hell is this Nima, why can't you do without me?"
Li Beixiang touched the black cat's forehead and said with a puzzled expression.
The black cat lay on the bed, his face full of enjoyment and comfort.
Li Bei was looking at the cat, and suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness coming, so he fell on the bed and fell into a dream.
The black cat looked at Li Beixiang and found that Li Beixiang was indeed asleep. So this is the black cat walked to Li Beixiang's right hand step by step, stretched out his paws, and carefully cut a hole in Li Beixiang's wrist.
In an instant, Li Bei's wrist was bleeding, and the black cat saw the blood gushing out of Li Bei's wrist, just like seeing a small dried fish, happily lying on Li Beixiang's arm, sticking out his tongue and licking Li Beixiang's blood.
If this black cat could talk, I guess what it wants to say most now is, oh my god, this is too delicious.
The next day, the sun had just risen, and the sound of laughter and laughter resounded throughout the garrison's general's mansion. Li Beixiang knew that it was those slaves who were disturbing the hygiene.
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
"Ah, dead man, dead man. ”
Li Beixiang sat up in surprise and looked out of the window with a solemn face.
"Meow"
The black cat was lying on the bed, looking at Li Beixiang with an unhappy face, as if to say, you disturbed my sweet dream.
Li Beixiang looked at the little guy, stretched out his right hand and flicked the black cat's nose.
It's strange to say that the black cat cut Li Beixiang's wrist and healed the next day, and he couldn't see it at all.
Li Beixiang stood up, hung the slash on his waist, and walked out.
As soon as I went out, a servant girl ran over.
I saw her covering her face, panicking.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Li Beixiang grabbed the servant girl and asked curiously.
The maid was stunned for a moment, and found that it was Li Beixiang, so she hurriedly made a salute, and said with palpitations: "There is a dead man lying in the courtyard next door, and the dead man died so miserably that his face was cut off." ”
"Let's go, take me around. ”
Li Beixiang said in a deep voice.
"The slave didn't dare. ”
The servant girl replied with a look of horror.
"Forget it, I'll go myself. ”
Li Beixiang let go of the maidservant girl and walked towards the courtyard next door.
At this moment, Liu Youcheng also walked out of the room, rubbing his bloodshot eyes, and hurriedly followed behind Li Beixiang.
