Chapter 20: The Ghost in the Tent
Tuoba Zhi sat in his military tent, his face was solemn, a Zhan Cangming already gave him a headache, and finally had Chi Wuji's puppet to help, but another Mu Liran came out. She was obviously more difficult to deal with than Zhan Cangming. The strange weapons, the gunpowder that doubled its power, were all stumbling blocks to Tuoba Zhi's victory. Coupled with the mysterious power that can stop the advance of the puppet army, it really gives Tuoba Zhi a headache and resentment.
"Zhan Cangming, Mu Liran...... Wait for me. Tuoba Zhi gritted his teeth and read the names of the two men, and his eyes were covered with frost.
In the military tent on the other side, Zhan Cangming was restless and couldn't fall asleep, for some reason, he should have taken this opportunity to test Mu Liran, but he didn't expect that as long as he closed his eyes now, it was Mu Liran's beautiful face. Her laughter, her anger, appeared in Zhan Cangming's mind over and over again. And it was Mu Liran's outstanding performance that made Qi Yuanfeng change his attitude towards her in the past, every time Qi Yuanfeng appeared next to Mu Liran and spoke to her, Zhan Cangming himself somehow suddenly became impatient, and I don't know if it was because of Qi Yuanfeng or Mu Liran.
In the end, Zhan Cangming had no sleepiness at all, so he could only get up and go outside the military tent to breathe.
Tonight's moon is very round, like a jade plate in the sky, and the moonlight is as clear as water, pouring on this land full of death blood. The night was quiet, and there was no fighting atmosphere in the daytime. As if war, it never happened. Perhaps, this is what Zhan Cangming thought from the bottom of his heart. Longing for peace, ending the war.
It backfired, the reality was cruel, Zhan Cangming looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thought a lot, sighed a lot, and then realized that he hadn't been so calm for a long time. Since marrying Mu Liran, his heart has not been at peace anymore. Perhaps before he realized it, he had fallen into a trap called Mu Liran.
Just as he was still meditating, a white figure flashed from the military tent not far ahead.
"So fast? Could it be ......" Zhan Cangming realized that something was wrong, trotted forward, and carefully saw the appearance of the white shadow, the appearance of a woman, dressed in white, with her hair scattered, her feet hanging in the air, and her movements were extremely fast. Sure enough, it's a ghost.
Why are there ghosts in the military tent, is this Tuoba Zhi's instructions? Zhan Cangming was about to go to investigate, but he didn't expect that the female ghost's actions were so unpredictable, and in an instant, she disappeared into the vast night.
The investigation was unsuccessful, Zhan Cangming had to give up temporarily, it was the second half of the night, and occasionally the snoring of sleeping soldiers could be heard, and the surroundings had returned to the calm they had just now, as if the small turmoil just now was just Zhan Cangming's own hallucination. But he knew that something was wrong and he had to pay attention to it
Finally, Zhan Cangming felt a little sleepy, and returned to the military tent and rested.
The next day, the sky faded to the color of night, and the white of the fish's belly greeted the sunrise.
After a long absence, all the soldiers slept soundly, and when they woke up, everyone's spirit and morale were higher than usual.
"Ahh Suddenly, a woman's shrill scream shattered the calm of the morning. The source of the sound is in the military tent of Mu Liran.
The sudden situation immediately made everyone fade away from laziness and enter a state of alert for the first time. Zhan Cangming was already sleepy, and when he heard this scream, he immediately woke up, and without caring about getting dressed, he rushed to Mu Liran's tent.
What caught Zhan Cangming's eyes was Mu Wan who fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Mu Wan's body was still twitching slightly, but her eyes were hollow, she had lost her aura, her mouth was foaming at the foam, and her expression was frightened, as if she had seen something that she shouldn't see.
"What's going on?" Zhan Cangming's tone was calm, without the panic just now, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Liran, and after finding that it was not her who had an accident, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know...... When Wan'er presented me breakfast just now, she suddenly screamed, and then she became what she is now. Could this be a ......" Mu Liran said with concern in her tone, after all, Mu Wan was her personal maid, and it was Mu Liran who was the most uncomfortable when something happened. At the end of her words, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly stopped speaking and looked straight at Zhan Cangming.
Zhan Cangming's gaze never left Mu Liran's body, so he met his gaze. But now there is no effort for these two to fall in love, and the two do have the same heart.
"The soul is out of the body." Zhan Cangming looked straight at Mu Liran's eyes and said the four words that Mu Liran wanted to say next.
Mu Liran nodded at Zhan Cangming, agreeing with his statement. looked at Mu Wan lying on the ground again.
At this time, Mu Wan had already stopped convulsing and was motionless, only a faint breath remained. Mu Liran motioned to his generals to carry Mu Wan to the bed. She walked up to Mu Wan, sat beside her, gently brushed away the messy hair on her face, and looked at this delicate little face, Mu Liran's heart was full of worry.
