However, he still nodded in agreement and replied, "Although the name says it is a bow, it is actually a crossbow. When firing, you step on the ring on it and pull the string. It can penetrate heavy armor from three hundred steps away."
Su Xuancheng's eyes lit up, "What is the Divine Arm Bow?"
In the bedroom here, Su Wenyu was lying on the bed, looking very nervous and not sleepy at all.
The jade pendant on the dressing table looked crystal clear and warm under the moonlight, but the blue light floating on it made people feel inexplicably weird.
Su Wenyu still felt cold all over, and the hot water bottle under her feet lost its warmth after a while.
She wrapped herself in the quilt, and suddenly a gentle warm breeze blew. Su Wenyu's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and after a while they slowly closed. She didn't know when the jade pendant was in her hand. She held it and slept more and more deeply.
Zheng——
The sound of a piano suddenly interrupted the conversation of the three people. Gu Lingze instantly raised his sharp eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
He gestured to the two of them not to move, then stood up and moved towards the door.
The piano sounds melodious and gentle, like the whispers between lovers.
Su Xuancheng's hair stood on end and the atmosphere around him was extremely weird.
Su Wenyu also woke up at this time. She felt very thirsty, so she called Ye'er's name out of habit and asked her to pour her a glass of water.
Soon, a hand passed through the curtain in front of the bed and handed in a teacup. Su Wenyu stood up, took it, tilted her head back, drank it all, and handed the cup back.
Just as Ye'er was about to take it, a hand accidentally touched her wrist, and she suddenly pulled it back as if it was scalded.
She looked at the figure in front of the curtain and said, "Ye'er, what's wrong with you?"
The figure shook his head and took the cup.
"Ye'er, you should go and have a rest too. You don't have to stay here." After Su Wenyu said this, she fell on the bed, drowsily closed her eyes again.
Gu Lingze opened the door a crack, turned around and motioned for the two to follow him, then walked out sideways.
He pushed open the door of Su Wenyu's bedroom, and the moonlight shone in gloomily through the window.
The three of them walked in and walked closer, and suddenly they saw a woman dancing in a bright red dress.
The woman had fair and smooth skin, a slender waist, long black hair that fluttered as she swayed her body, and her skirt swayed in a dazzling way.
The woman in front of them was so beautiful that she seemed like a dream. Su Xuancheng and Gu Xiuyi were fascinated by her at the first sight of her.
The woman looked at Gu Lingze with a beautiful smile, walked over barefoot, and stretched out a jade hand to invite him.
"Young Master." The woman's voice was gentle and charming. Seeing that he was unmoved, she sighed softly again. Even this sigh was mixed with countless lingering affections.
The two people beside Gu Lingze suddenly became agitated, looking at him with red eyes full of jealousy.
"Showing off one's skills in front of an expert." These four words were mixed with sarcasm and chillness, and the woman took a step back in shock.
Gu Lingze put two fingers together and tapped Gu Xiuyi and Su Xuancheng hard on the forehead, and the two men fell backwards to the ground immediately.
When Gu Lingze turned around again, the woman in the room had disappeared. A faint crying sound rang in his ears. A black shadow meandered up the table and shrank into the jade pendant on the dressing table.
Gu Lingze took out the fire starter from his arms and lit the candle on the table, then opened the curtain and woke up Su Wenyu.
Su Wenyu woke up slowly when she heard Gu Lingze's voice. After a while, she suddenly widened her eyes. She didn't know when she fell asleep and she was completely unconscious.
As soon as she sat up, she saw two people lying on the ground. She was shocked and got out of bed barefoot.
"Brother, wake up." She said, shaking Su Xuancheng's body, and then turned to Gu Xiuyi, "Wake up, what's wrong with you!"
Gu Lingze ignored all this and walked straight to the dressing table, looking closely at the jade pendant on it.
If I'm not mistaken, the woman just now was a ghost.
Usually ghosts are formed by the strange energy of mountains and forests over the years. They have beautiful bodies and natural charm, which can bewitch men's hearts and souls. After a passionate love affair with them, the ghosts will be willing to offer their souls as food.
But this ghost was transformed from the last breath of a dying person, and with the addition of essence from Su Wenyu's blood, it took shape.
If it wants to get rid of this jade pendant, it can only absorb Su Wenyu's soul, otherwise it will be trapped here and die.
It would be easy for him to kill the ghost, but the owner of the jade pendant would have to become a wandering ghost until he completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
Moreover, this demon has absorbed Su Wenyu's blood essence. If he were to forcibly disperse it, it would inevitably affect Su Wenyu's future destiny. Doing so would result in a lose-lose situation.
The best solution now is to return the jade pendant to its original owner, and then he will perform a ritual to help the owner of the jade pendant to be reincarnated, and this will put an end to the matter.
As soon as Gu Xiuyi opened his eyes, he saw Su Wenyu's face.
The other person looked anxious, and looked at him with red eyes. Only when he saw that he woke up did his complexion look better. He turned around and called Su Xuancheng next to him.
After Su Xuancheng woke up, the three of them went to the side hall again and called Ye'er in to help Su Wenyu change clothes.
Young Marquis Su touched his neck and shook his head, "What happened just now? Why are we lying on the ground?"
"You were bewitched by a ghost just now, and you almost followed a female ghost."
Gu Lingze said it calmly, but Su Xuancheng was scared enough. At the same time, a figure of a woman dancing appeared in his mind. She had a graceful figure but her face was very blurry.
Not only did Su Xuancheng remember it, but Gu Xiuyi also recalled this memory.
Looking at the expressions of the two men, Gu Lingze knew that they remembered. He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window. It was time for the two of them to go to court.
When working for the emperor, there is no such thing as taking leave unless you are sick. Gu Xiuyi had no choice but to go back to the general's mansion, change into court clothes and prepare to go to court.
After Wen Xinhou and Su Xuancheng left, Gu Lingze asked Ye'er to call the housekeeper.
"Go to the Zuo Can Government and ask Miss Lu to come over. Tell her that your daughter is seriously ill and wants to see her."
"yes."
Ye'er brought breakfast and Gu Lingze picked up his chopsticks and started eating. However, Su Wenyu was in a mixed mood and couldn't eat.
She really couldn't understand why Lu Manning wanted to harm her. They had known each other since childhood, so why did it turn out like this?
Gu Lingze glanced at Su Wenyu and said, "Why think so much? When Lu Manying comes, you can ask her in person and you will know the reason."
Su Wenyu nodded, took a deep breath, picked up the bowl of porridge in front of her and started drinking from it in small sips.
After the two of them had breakfast, Lu Manning arrived not long after. When she entered the room, the housekeeper called the two maids behind her, but Lu Manning ignored them and walked in first.
