Chapter 308 Monster's Prophecy
After talking for half the night, the fatigue from fighting on the battlefield and the drunkenness from drinking to celebrate today all came flooding back.
Yun Chen and Huo Gannian fell asleep in each other's arms as usual.
Yun Chen had a very strange dream.
In her dream, she walked into a forest that blocked out the sun in a daze.
There was mist everywhere. Two small graves were hidden deep in the forest. A monster with a human face, a snake body and two short arms was holding a large piece of red cloth and tearing it in front of the graves.
Yun Chen walked closer to take a look and asked, "What are you doing?"
The monster smiled sinisterly, revealing two rows of neat fangs, and showed her the red cloth in his hand. It turned out to be a wedding cloth with the word "囍" written on it.
"Your husband is dead. I'll pluck some cloth for you, scour it, and turn it into white to make you a widow's veil."
Yun Chen was horrified and picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the monster, shouting:
"You're talking nonsense! Get out! Get out!"
The monster dodged the attack deftly and threw the red cloth strips that had been torn into pieces at Yun Chen.
In an instant, the red suddenly turned white and rushed towards her, like a strong spider silk that wrapped her tightly and made it difficult for her to breathe.
She struggled hard, but the monster looked at her with a smile, picked up a few strips of white cloth, and with its short fingers flying quickly, weaved them into a white funeral hat for a widowed husband.
"He's dead. You'll find out," the monster said over and over again.
Yun Chen kept struggling and yelling: "Shut up! You're talking nonsense!" But he couldn't break free.
She was anxious and angry, struggling until she was sweating all over. Finally, she woke up with a start and found that Huo Gannian was clinging to her like an octopus, strangling her so that she could not move.
She slowly calmed down the aftermath of the nightmare, carefully removed his hands and feet, and tucked the quilt in for him.
This nightmare was too real. The feeling of struggle and fear made her heart pounding for a long time after she woke up.
She sat up, pushed the door open quietly, and stood in the yard to get some fresh air.
It was a chilly night in late autumn. She had just had a nightmare and was sweating all over. Now, when the wind blew, she couldn't help shivering a little.
Thinking about the fact that she had only lived in the Major General's Mansion for a few days since it was built, as the master of this mansion, she had never even seen the entire mansion, and she couldn't recognize all the guards and servants in the mansion.
She simply jumped onto the roof with her light Kung Fu skills and walked between the roof ridges, warming herself up against the cold wind while touring her own mansion.
As she was walking, suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a white shadow passing by behind her, silently and stealthily like a ghost, brushing past her back.
She instantly thought of the monster and white cloth in her nightmare, and her steps trembled as goose bumps appeared all over her body.
So what if it's a ghost? If I can kill a human, I can kill a ghost too! At worst, I can kill it twice!
She shouted in her heart, turned around quickly and rushed towards the white shadow, then stopped abruptly in front of the "ghost"'s face.
She almost bumped into the "ghost"'s arms. She ran away with a heroic spirit in her chest, her voice a little distorted due to fear, pointing at the other party and cursing:
"Yan Shijiu! Are you sick?! Wearing white in the middle of the night! You're a ghost!"
Yan Nineteen laughed and said:
"Oh, my Nan Country's number one female general is also afraid of ghosts?"
Yun Chen glared at him, then turned his attention to his tea-white brocade robe and his increasingly handsome and perfect face that was almost unrecognizable.
Her mind quickly connected all the details together, and her eyes widened in surprise:
"It's you! This morning I saw a 'little ghost' eavesdropping in the East Palace, and I thought I was seeing things! It's you, you bastard!"
As she spoke, she suddenly realized, "I heard two strange stories since arriving in Beijing. One was about Zhiluo, and the other said that the Eastern Palace is now under strict martial law because a heroic god visits the palace every night to teach the princess secret techniques. I thought they were just storytellers' nonsense!"
She gave him a thumbs up and said admiringly:
"Amazing! After all this talk about maintaining your beauty and avoiding suspicion with me, it turns out you're actually pursuing the princess! I heard from the court officials that you can now come and go freely in the Eastern Palace. Looks like it's working?"
Yan Shijiu raised his eyebrows proudly and asked in a deliberately low voice:
"So, when you heard the news, did you feel sad at all?"
"Yes," she said.
He was slightly stunned, a look of joy appeared on his face, but he quickly suppressed it, and then heard her continue:
"I feel so sad for the princess. How could such a beautiful lady be taken away by a jerk like you? Sigh..."
"Tsk! In terms of background, martial arts, brains, and looks, I'm number one in Nan Country in every way." He curled his lips, then changed his tone: "Oh—I get it! You're jealous and speaking in anger, right?"
"Fuck you!" She kicked Yan Shijiu hard on the leg.
Nan Lijun is jealous, so since Yun Chen returned to Beijing, Yan Shijiu has been cautious in everything and never takes the initiative to look for Yun Chen.
Even if they met, they would just say hello briefly and never dared to get close to Yun Chen.
Now that he had received a familiar kick that he had not felt for a long time, he felt relaxed all over and refreshed every part of his body.
He looked towards the bedroom and asked, "Huo Gannian is in there? Are you two already asleep?"
Yun Chen blushed at the blunt words, "Pah, pah, pah, Ah Nian is a gentleman, stop talking nonsense."
"I'm just asking, have you two gone to bed? I don't mean anything else. What are you thinking?" He raised his eyebrows and deliberately made her ears red.
"None of your business!" Looking at Yan Shijiu with a look as if he were a psychopath, Yun Chen said:
"Why are you looking for me so late at night? Watch out, the princess will punish you!"
He smacked his lips. "Huo Gannian fell asleep in the bedroom, but you came to meet me. It's the same as me waiting for the princess to fall asleep before coming to see you. We really have a mutual understanding, a bit like having an affair, very exciting, I like it!"
Finally unable to bear it anymore, Yun Chen was so angry that his palms started itching, and he grabbed him and beat him up.
"I! Ask! What! Are! You! Looking! For! Me!"
He wiped the blood from his nose and chuckled:
"Nothing, I just missed you."
Yun Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to beat the man with all his heart, concentration, and seriousness.
When Yan Shijiu was beaten by her, he never fought back, and at most he would make a few grunts.
Moreover, when others got beaten, they frowned in pain, but the more he was beaten, the happier he became, and he kept grinning.
In the end, Yun Chen felt a little scared and didn't dare to fight anymore.
She stopped and shook her sore wrist.
"I'm going to marry Anian. If you insult me again, I'll let Anian deal with you! I advise you to be a decent person."
Yan Shijiu showed an intriguing smile:
"Getting married? I heard that the first female general of Nan Country is getting married, and the richest man in Nan Country is getting married."
Yun Chen did not notice anything wrong with these two sentences, and smiled frankly at Yan Shijiu:
"That's great. We're both going to get married. You have to be loyal to the princess and don't be fickle. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
Yan Shijiu smiled softly, his eyes blazing with fire.
"I have been very dedicated from the beginning to the end, you will know."
…
…
After tossing and turning for half the night, Yan Shijiu still didn't say what he wanted to do in the Major General's Mansion so late at night.
After a joke, he stared at Yun Chen for a long time, then floated away like a "ghost".
Not long after he left, the Eastern Palace suddenly sent an urgent order overnight, saying that the Black Scale Cavalry was ready to make a move on the southeastern border and was about to attack Guying City again.
The Lion Army had soldiers but no generals, so the Eastern Palace ordered Huo Gannian and Yun Chen to set off and return to the army as soon as possible without any mistakes.
When the Huo Gang got the news, Ye Yan didn't care about the distinction between men and women, and hurriedly took Hua Jue and Buyan, who had just woken up from a hangover, to the Major General's Mansion and brought all the armor and swords.
When Huo Gannian and Yun Chen were putting on each other's armor, Yun Chen told Huo Gannian about Yan Shijiu's visit to her just now, without hiding the fact that Ye Yan and the other two, as well as Lan Qian who hurried over to serve them, were present.
Hua Jue and Buyan closed their eyes nervously and worried about Yun Chen.
Considering Huo Gannian's deep love for Yun Chen, it would be strange if he wasn't jealous and crazy.
Unexpectedly, Huo Gannian didn't even frown, and said nonchalantly:
"He is now a favorite of His Highness. He probably got the news that we were returning to Guying City in advance, so he came to visit you."
"I think so too. This guy got the news faster than the Eastern Palace, which means the Eastern Palace is not careful enough." After saying that, Yun Chen immediately put Yan Shijiu out of his mind.
Then, while Lan Qian took Yun Chen to the inner room to tidy up the lining, Ye Yan couldn't help but quietly ask Huo Gannian:
"Young Master, why don't you ask Achen to be more careful about Yan Shijiu? That guy obviously has bad intentions. Achen is stupid. Without anyone to remind her, she probably won't be able to see it."
Huo Gannian fiddled with his collar and said calmly:
"There's no need to remind them. They can't cause any big trouble."
In front of the impregnable city of him and Yun Chen, Zhi Luo and Su Zhengyang were as small as ants, and their shallow love would be blown away by the wind.
Even if there is someone like Yan Shijiu who is extremely cunning and persistent, Yun Chen will not take it to heart as long as he does not expose it.
I'm afraid that it will be like what happened to Huo Luyu. Once it's revealed, Yun Chen will worry about it every day and feel guilty and worried all the time, which is not good.
Huo Gannian understood Yun Chen's pure and genuine nature, and not letting her have any worries was actually the best barrier.
He smiled mysteriously and said:
"A bayberry that only catches insects will not be sweet."
While Ye Yan and the others were confused, they looked at the sky which was about to dawn. Huo Gannian and Yun Chen walked towards the gate hand in hand.
As the two men arrived at the door, they bumped into someone head-on.
The person who came was dusty and exhausted, her clothes were covered with dirt and wrinkles, her black hair was a little messy, she was not wearing any hairpins or jewelry, and her delicate face was full of fatigue and worry.
After riding day and night, Huo Luyu was so tired that he only had the strength to hold the door, but his eyes were looking inside anxiously.
The guard beside her supported her with his scabbard:
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
Huo Luyu kept looking inside the door. "Is this the residence of Major General Yun Chen? I heard that the capital was attacked and General Yun fought to the death. How is he now? Is she okay? She..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Luyu saw a perfect match walking towards the gate hand in hand.
They wore the same heroic armor and had the same courageous and resolute look on their faces.
When they looked at each other, they saw mountains and seas that no one could penetrate.
As if struck by lightning, Huo Luyu stood there in shock, staring blankly at the two of them. He couldn't accept the cruel fact that "it turns out they are in love" for a long time, and tears gradually filled his eyes.
On the other side, Yun Chen subconsciously let go of Huo Gannian's hand, but he grabbed it back and held it tighter.
Before Yun Chen could speak, Huo Luyu suddenly turned around and ran away, riding the horse he came on and rode away into the distance.
"I'll go after him." Huo Gannian said.
