Chapter fifty-eight.
Night, military camp.
Even in the middle of the night, the lights in the military camp are still bright. Dozens of bonfires that stay burning throughout the night illuminate the entire camp as if it were daytime. Every quarter of an hour, patrolling guards patrol the entire camp. Defense is indispensable.
Not strict.
Although lighting so many bonfires is a bit wasteful, there is nothing we can do about it... Since a month ago, strange things have been happening frequently in the military camp. Wild wolf snakes have sneaked into the military camp, biting the soldiers, and even...
Some zombies and ghosts barged in without even opening their eyes.
You know, this is a military camp! Thousands of guards gather here. To those ghostly creatures, the powerful energy and blood are like the flames of a furnace. Just getting close will be in danger of being annihilated.
But those ghosts and monsters were not afraid of death, and they barged in one after another as if they were dizzy to die. A few days ago, a group of Yin soldiers even appeared from the underworld, turned into a torrent and hit the camp, even killing dozens of sergeants.
of casualties.
Therefore, in the past few days, the military camp had to implement martial law to prevent those weird things from attacking the military camp again.
The lights were still on in the Chinese army's tent, and a dozen thick tall butter candles illuminated the tiny dust reflected in the tent. Kong Qian was also stung by the dazzling light, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Although it is already winter, the heat emitted by the dozens of giant candles in the tent still makes the tent as hot as summer. In addition, the dazzling light cannot be blocked even if you close your eyes, and the large camp
The armors of the patrolling guards were rubbing and shaking. It's no wonder they slept well.
He wanted to put out those candles, or simply go back to his house to rest, but at this critical moment, he could only endure it for the time being.
During this period of time, he has been attacked countless times. All kinds of monsters and monsters have jumped out, assassinating, poisoning, ghosts harming people, demons attacking... making him unable to defend himself.
Lu Zhi had recently planned to renew the dragon's veins and could not stay to protect him personally. As a last resort, he had no choice but to follow the advice and move to the military camp to use the power of the army to deter those with ill intentions.
Villains and monsters.
But even among the army of guards, the conspiracies and assassinations against him never stopped.
Just like the Yin soldiers crossing the border a few days ago, a whole team of thousands of Yin soldiers suddenly appeared outside the camp and rushed straight to his Chinese army camp late at night. Those Yin soldiers
Under their suicide attack, they almost rushed to his Chinese army tent.
Even Lu Zhi was alarmed and asked Yan Chixia to rush back and sit in the military camp 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 started reading, his irritable mood gradually calmed down.
Half an hour later, feeling tired, he fell down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The night is getting deeper, and at this moment, even the patrolling guards in the camp are a little tired, their energy is not so concentrated, and they no longer add new firewood to the several piles of bonfires. After all, after an hour, there will be no more
It's dawn.
After the fire gradually weakened, the light reflected also decreased a bit, and some places in 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 military camp.
Konggan big tent.
There was a crackling sound. A subtle crackling sound of fire exploded from the giant butter candle. The fireworks on the wick flickered for a few times before finally extinguishing.
One by one, the giant butter candles were gradually extinguished, and the big tent suddenly fell into extreme darkness. Kong Qian, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was naturally unable to notice these changes.
The tent was slightly opened with a small crack, and a figure quickly flashed into the tent, and then walked towards Kong Gan with inexplicable stiffness.
The weird figure made no sound when walking, not even breathing, until he walked close to the bed and revealed his weird and inexplicable true appearance... This was actually a white-faced figure with painted cheeks. Blush is terrible and pricks people!
It lowered its head and looked at Kong Qian with its scarlet eyes highlighted by a vermilion pen. When it confirmed that he was indeed asleep and had no power to resist anymore, it grinned strangely... The paper-mush outline of his grin... The 'cherry little mouth' suddenly burst open!
I saw that the crack in the paper that pricked the mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire cheek was torn, revealing the broken burr bamboo strips and the dark hole below, and the abnormal and terrifying leakage people!
On the other side, guarding next to Kong Qian's tent, Yan Chixia seemed to feel something in another military tent, and she came back from her trance in an instant.
But just when he was about to stand up, he suddenly realized that the night guard who had been patrolling here was standing directly outside his military tent and never left.
Hearing the nervous and heavy breathing of the guards outside the tent, Yan Chixia couldn't help but fell silent. Based on his knowledge, he had vaguely guessed something.
He slowly put on his clothes, raised his hand to take the sword box beside him, carried it behind his back, and then walked towards the outside of the military tent with a serious face.
Just when he raised his hand to open the thick sheepskin curtain of the military tent...
Whoosh!
Several rapid sounds of breaking wind came instantly. In the dark night, even Yan Chixia was unable to see clearly the afterimages flying towards her. She just instinctively raised her arms and used the clothes on her wrists to The bamboo armor wrist guards knocked away those remaining images.
Ding ding ding ding..
Several broken arrows suddenly fell at his feet, and several sharp spears were stabbing him from all directions again!
"How brave!" Yan Chixia shouted angrily, and the sword box she was carrying behind her suddenly opened, and a burst of golden light burst out. A stream of light passed over his head in an instant, and moved in front of him. Those who were aiming at him The spear that pierced forward was immediately shattered into pieces by the flying sword!
"Ah!" The guards were obviously frightened. They exclaimed and instinctively stepped back, fearing that the sword light would also pinch their necks.
"Everyone, come together and kill him with swords! Whoever takes the enemy's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and be made a marquis!"
Among the guards, there was an instant loud shout, stimulating everyone with money and titles, in order to stimulate the blood and courage of the guards, so that everyone would rush forward and kill Yan Chixia with swords!
"Humph!" Yan Chixia snorted coldly, but glanced sideways at those people, "You finally couldn't help but show up."
Yan Chixia's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and the guard captain couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
But now that the matter has come to this, he has no way to escape, and can only go to the dark side.
"Brothers, don't pay attention to his nonsense, as long as you kill him, everyone will be prosperous and rich in the future!"
Yan Chixia just smiled mockingly, and then did not take action. She just urged the flying sword to fly up and down around her, smashing all the arrows and spears thrown by the guards into pieces in mid-air.
Facing Yan Chixia's sarcastic gaze, the guard captain became more and more uneasy. Perhaps, they had really missed something.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind, mixed with the sound of armor shaking, and a hundred-man team holding torches suddenly ran out of the darkness, instantly surrounding the place!
"This...?!" The guard captain's face suddenly changed wildly, and he suddenly turned to Yan Chixia and asked, "Did you already know about our actions tonight?!"
Yan Chixia ignored him and just said to the leader of the hundred-man team, "General Xue, I will leave this place to you. Be sure not to watch these people. Let's go see Prince An first."
"Don't worry, Taoist Master Yan, none of these rebels can escape!"
Yan Chixia nodded, then turned directly towards Kong Qian's tent.
Walking into the camp, Yan Chixia took a look at the paper-pricked person lying in front of Kong Gan's bed, and saw that most of its body had been burned to ashes, leaving only a few bamboo skeletons and a small half of the burned stone.
The burnt heads were piled on the black ashes on the ground.
