Chapter 58. The barracks change at night

Night, barracks.

Even in the middle of the night, the barracks were still brightly lit, and dozens of bonfires that were not extinguished all night reflected the entire camp as if it were day, and every quarter of an hour, there were patrolling guards patrolling the whole camp.

It's a bit of a waste to light so many campfires, but there's no way around it... Since a month ago, strange things have begun to happen frequently in the barracks, with wild wolves and poisonous snakes sneaking into the barracks, biting the soldiers, not to mention some zombies.

You know, this is a barracks! Thousands of guards gathered here, and the majestic qi and blood were undoubtedly like the flames of the furnace for those ghostly things, and the mere close proximity was in danger of annihilation.

But those ghosts and demons are not afraid of death, and they broke in one after another to send them to death in a daze, and a few days ago there was even a team of Yin soldiers who appeared from the shadows and turned into a torrent to impact the camp, and even caused dozens of casualties among the sergeants.

So in the past few days, the barracks have had to start martial law to prevent those weird things from hitting the barracks again.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there are still lights, and more than a dozen thick butter candles will reflect the dust in the tent, and Kong Qian is also pierced by the dazzling light and can't sleep.

Although it is already winter, the heat emitted by a dozen or so huge candles in the tent still bakes the big tent like a hot summer, plus the dazzling light that can't be covered even if you close your eyes, and the sound of the armor rubbing and shaking on the patrol guards in the camp... It's weird to sleep well.

He wanted to put out the candles, or simply go back to the house to rest, but this extraordinary moment made him have to endure it for the time being.

During this time, he didn't know how many attacks he had encountered, and all the demons and monsters jumped out in one go, assassinating, poisoning, ghosts harming people, demon attacks... Let him be unguardable.

And Lu Zhi had to plan to renew the dragon vein recently, and he couldn't stay to protect him, so he had no choice but to follow the advice and move to the barracks, with the help of the army, to deter those evil people and demons with bad intentions.

But even in the midst of the army, those conspiracies against him never stopped.

Just like the Yin soldiers crossing the border a few days ago, a whole team of 1,000 Yin soldiers suddenly appeared outside the camp, and came straight to his Chinese army camp in the middle of the night.

Even Lu Zhi's side was alarmed, and specially asked Yan Chixia to rush back and sit in the barracks to prevent similar attacks from happening again.

Kong Gan, who couldn't sleep, simply sat up from the bed, took out the three volumes of Taiping Essentials given to him by Lu Zhi and looked at them, and his irritable mood gradually calmed down.

Half an hour later, feeling tiredness, he fell on the bed and closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The night was getting deeper, and at this moment, even the guards patrolling the camp were a little tired, and their energy was not so concentrated, and the few bonfires did not continue to add new firewood, after all, it would be dawn in a few hours.

As the light of the fire faded, the light reflected in it diminished, and some parts of the camp began to be shrouded in darkness again.

A dark shadow that had been lurking outside the camp for most of the night finally found an opportunity and silently entered the barracks.

Kong Qian's big tent.

Crackling.. A faint burst of fire exploded from the top of the butter candle, and the fireworks flickered and flickered a few times before finally extinguishing.

One after another, the butter candles gradually went out, and the big tent suddenly fell into extreme darkness, and Kong Qian, who had fallen into a deep sleep, naturally couldn't notice these changes.

The tent was slightly opened, and a figure quickly flashed into the big tent, and then walked towards Kong Gan inexplicably.

The strange figure walked without making any sound, not even breathing, until he walked close to the bed and revealed his strange and inexplicable true face... This is a horrible paper piercing man with a pale face and blush on his cheeks!

It lowered its head and looked at Kong Qian with its scarlet eyes, making sure that he was indeed asleep and had no power to resist, before grinning strangely... The 'cherry mouth' drawn by the papier-mΓ’chΓ© burst open!

I saw that the crack in the paper piercing man's mouth became bigger and bigger, and the entire cheek was torn, leaking out the broken burrs of the bamboo strips below and the black hollow, which was extremely terrifying!

On the other side, guarding next to Kong Gan's big tent, Yan Chixia seemed to feel something in the other military tent, and instantly recovered from her meditation.

But just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized that the night guard who had patrolled here before was standing directly outside his tent and had not left.

Hearing the slightly nervous heavy gasps of the guards outside the big tent, Yan Chixia couldn't help but be silent, with his knowledge, he had already vaguely guessed something.

He slowly put on his clothes, raised his hand to take the sword box beside him, and carried it behind his back, before walking towards the outside of the tent with a serious face.

Just as he raised his hand to lift the thick sheepskin curtain of the military tent...

Woohoo!

Several rapid wind-breaking sounds came instantly, and in the dark night, even Yan Chixia couldn't see the afterimages that flew towards her, but instinctively raised her arm, and knocked away those afterimages with the bamboo armor bracers she wore on her wrists.

Ding Ding Ding Ding..

Several broken arrows fell at his feet, and several sharp spears were stabbing at him from all directions again!

"How daring!" Hearing Yan Chixia's angry shout, the sword box behind him suddenly opened, bursting out with a burst of golden light, and a streamer instantly passed over his head and slashed towards him, and those spears that stabbed straight at him were instantly shattered into pieces by the flying sword!

"Yikes!" The guards were visibly frightened, and with a cry of surprise, instinctively stepped back, fearing that the sword light would also twist around their necks.

"Let's go up together and kill him with a knife! Those who take the enemy's head will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and made a marquis! ”

Among the guards, there was an explosion of shouts in an instant, stimulating everyone with money and titles, wanting to urge the blood and courage of the guards, so that everyone rushed up and killed Yan Chixia with a knife!

"Humph!" Yan Chixia snorted coldly, but just glanced at those people with slanted eyes, "You guys finally can't help but come out." ”

Yan Chixia's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and she couldn't help but make the captain of the guard chuckle violently in his heart.

But at this point, he has no way to retreat, and can only go one way to the dark.

"Brothers, don't care about his nonsense, as long as you kill him, everyone will be prosperous and rich in the future, and you will not be able to enjoy it!"

Yan Chixia just laughed mockingly, and then didn't make a move, just urged the flying sword to circle around her, smashing all the arrows and spears thrown by those guards in mid-air.

Facing Yan Chixia's mocking gaze, the captain of the guard became more and more uneasy in his heart, perhaps, they really missed something.

Stomp Stampede... Click..

At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind, mixed with the sound of armor shaking, and a team of 100 people with torches suddenly rushed out of the darkness, instantly surrounding the place!

"This..?!" The captain of the guard's face suddenly changed wildly, and suddenly turned his head to Yan Chixia and asked, "Did you already know about our actions tonight?!" ”

Yan Chixia didn't pay attention to him, but just said to the leader of the hundred-man team, "General Xue, this place will be handed over to you, don't look at these people, go and see King An first." ”

"Don't worry, Daoist Yan, none of these rebellions can escape!"

Yan Chixia nodded, and then turned her head directly and walked towards Kong Gan's tent.

Walking into the camp tent, Yan Chixia glanced at the paper man who had fallen in front of Kong Gan's bed, and saw that most of his body had been burned to ashes, leaving only a few bamboo skeletons and a small half of his charred head piled on top of the black ash on the ground.

And Kong Qian, who was on the bed, was still sleeping well, and was even snoring...
