"Hey, you guys should sit down and eat too. Eat more, be full, and you'll have the strength to catch ghosts later." Xia Chuyi still had meat wrapped in his mouth, and he was holding a chicken drumstick in one hand, which was very unpleasant.
He yelled at the few people present in a dignified manner.
Several shadows chuckled silently when they saw this - the future young lady is really... rough!
"Eat, everyone sit down and eat."
Jin Yuanbao, Feng Luo and Xia Chuyi had been together for more than a day or two, and they were already used to her bold behavior in words and deeds.
As soon as the two of them sat down to eat, the shadows had no choice but to sit down even if they were embarrassed.
Xia Chuyi didn't like to be divided into slaves, servants, subordinates, etc. She always felt that eating and other things required a large group of people fighting to eat them, making jokes only fun if a large group of people were doing it, and doing things at the same time required a large group of people.
It will be efficient if you do it.
More than a dozen shadows were influenced by Xia Chuyi along the way, and they knew her temperament. They immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating at the same table with their master.
As for the rules that Xia Chuyi himself summed up, generally speaking, trouble often happens when eating, especially during this peak period when incidents occur frequently.
Ying San, who was responsible for breaking the news, finally came back. As soon as he came back, he saw everyone happily eating a table full of delicious food. For a moment, he felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
"What's going on?" Xia Chu saw Ying San coming back one by one and quickly called him in.
The first thing he did when he came in was not to talk about business. Instead, he raised his foot and said to Xia Chu: "My shoes have been ruined. Miss Xia, you have to pay for it!"
Xia Chuyi suddenly became ashamed.
"Okay, don't talk about one pair, I will pay for ten pairs." After all, she is considered a little rich woman now, isn't she?
After hearing this, Ying San regained his composure, pulled out his chair, and sat down at the dining table. He grabbed Ying Er's chopsticks, picked up a handful of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, and then said: "Wow, Xia
Girl, in front of everyone today, I have to say something to you..."
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but think silently in her heart - don't say that you like me, even though I say that I love everyone, I see flowers, I drive, I see cars with flat tires and so on...
Ying San swallowed the food in his mouth, then gave a thumbs up and said to Xia Chu: "I have to tell you, you are really amazing!"
Jin Yuanbao looked at Xia Chuyi's suddenly changing expression, his eyes suddenly filled with smiles, he took the chopstick head and knocked Yingsan: "Say quickly."
Ying San put the chopsticks on the table, stood up immediately, put one foot on the chair, and looked like a storyteller: "I can tell you, what Miss Xia said is basically correct, and those corpses are basically correct.
They are all hidden in wild forests, natural caves, or abandoned houses... in short, they are places where no light can be seen."
Ying Er quickly asked: "Can those corpses move?"
Ying 3 glanced at Ying 2 with an unteachable look: "Even if it is haunted, in broad daylight, do those corpses dare to mess around? Of course what we see is motionless."
"Cut~~"
"But even though it is motionless, I was still a little disgusted when I first saw it. They were all white bones, neatly arranged one by one, and covered with a large black cloak. From a distance,
It's like an army of skeletons."
"Skeleton army..." Xia Chuyi muttered this word repeatedly, squinting his eyes slightly and wandering around, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ying 2 argued with Ying 3 in disbelief: "You are lying, skeleton army, how can those skeletons form an army? It's ridiculous."
"If you don't believe me, you can go and see it yourself!" Ying 3 was also a little unhappy, stood up and shouted at Ying 2, "You are timid, you should be careful when you go, don't be scared and say that it's
I have sinned."
"you……"
"Okay, Ying Er, don't make trouble with Ying San. San'er, don't talk nonsense, keep talking." Jin Yuanbao, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally couldn't help but speak up to stop the two of them from continuing to fool around.
Ying Three then rolled his eyes at Ying Two and continued: "General Lin has followed Miss Xia's instructions and had the corpses piled up and burned, and the places where the corpses had been were sprinkled with quicklime. It's just that.
Didn't you see the scene of burning corpses? The flames that shot up were so high and green. Such a huge fire had no warmth at all, but it gave everyone present goosebumps all over their bodies.
"
Now that he thought about the scene at that time, his body could not help but react. He quickly poured himself a glass of wine from the flask and drank a big sip to calm down his shock.
Xia Chuyi sucked her fingers, and after listening to Ying San's words, she lowered her eyes and thought about it carefully.
Immediately, she raised her head and said to Ying San: "Hao San'er, you might make another trip."
"Again?" Ying San had just taken a sip of wine, and he was worried that he wouldn't spit it out again when he heard this.
"This mission is yours alone, but you are not the only one to go. Take all the shadows here with you."
The fishing nets collected by the people were distributed to General Lin's soldiers, and they were told that if they saw a skeleton when searching at night, they must not touch it and catch it with a fishing net."
Ying San is not a pretentious person. When he heard that it was serious business, he immediately nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xia Chuyi quickly reached out to hold him: "Don't be anxious, it's not too late to go after dinner."
"No..." Ying San watched with a mournful face as Xia Chuyi's hand that had just grabbed the greasy chicken drumstick was grasped on his sleeve, and couldn't help but cry to her, "Miss Xia, do you still have to compensate me?"
clothes?"
…
After eating this noisy dinner, the shadows followed Ying San half way with fishing nets, and the rest followed Xia Chuyi and the others with fishing nets. They mobilized all the guards in the city lord's palace and began to make arrangements for tonight.
The ghost hunting plan.
Jin Yuanbao looked at the darkening sky and asked Xia Chu with some worry: "General Lin burned so many skeletons during the day, will there still be ghosts at night?"
Xia Chuyi smiled and followed Jin Yuanbao's gaze to the distant sky where the night was gradually falling: "There are endless ghosts to catch."
"Can't catch them all? How many are there?" Jin Yuanbao's already frowning brows couldn't help but frown even more tightly, as if they were tied into a knot that could never be untied.
Xia Chuyi squinted his eyes, counted on his fingers in a pretentious manner, and finally turned around and smiled at Jin Yuanbao again: "Didn't you listen to what Ying San said? The skeleton army, if it reaches Jiang Cang, it will flow across the two states.
Dig out all the skeletons and control them, how much can you say?"
"Oh my god..." Jin Yuanbao couldn't help but gasped.
"Well, in short, let the soldiers come and cover up the water and the earth. It is impossible for the sky to collapse today. People will have to survive this day even if they are not dead. In fact, there is no use worrying about those messes."
Xia Chuyi reached out and took the fishing net from a shadow, and stood among the soldiers to use it, telling them how to use it and what precautions to take.
Jin Yuanbao tilted his head and looked at Xia Chuyi, who suddenly changed his attitude after only half a day. He suddenly felt a little strange, but in the end he didn't ask her why she figured it out.
And Xia Chuyi would not tell him that because she had a dream, all her anxiety in the morning disappeared.
In the dream, Shi Fifteen’s damn white flesh ball rolled around, wagging its long and thin tail, and raised its butt with white fluffy hair towards her, as if it was laughing at her.
Similar.
She reached out and was about to grab Shishi, pluck it, wash it, and bake it, when she saw it jump up and jump directly into someone's arms.
Who is that person?
Wearing a bright red brocade robe that is as hot as fire, with dark golden embroidery patterns layered on top. From a distance, you can vaguely see the reflected golden light, and from a distance, you can feel the low-key luxury.
She saw that his pair of white shoes were not stained by dust, and looked as if they had never been stepped on before. The soles were even faster than the uppers of her shoes, which made her feel a little ashamed of herself.
But when she raised her head, she couldn't see the face she wanted to see so much. She seemed to have turned into a dwarf. When she raised her head, she could only see those delicate white jade hands holding a small baby.
The dead mouse was still wagging its tail at her.
She was immediately furious and wanted to say something, but found that she could not speak at all. But the condescending man slowly opened his mouth. The faint voice was like a voice coming from the ancient underground, long and low, but it sounded so good.
It suddenly came into her mind.
"Little one, do you still believe me?"
Believe, always believe, never change.
Even though she couldn't see the face, she still nodded firmly.
"Then you should believe that when you are in the most difficult and painful time, I will never leave you alone."
…
Sometimes a word is enough to sweep away all the fatigue, even if it is just a simple dream.
When she woke up, she could still imagine what he looked like when he said those words. Those green eyes must have been so sparkling and bright that they were unparalleled in the world.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but despise herself for a moment. That damn monster abandoned her and ran away without saying a word. She actually dreamed of him, and in such a scene, she was really worthless!
However, even after being spurned, Xia Chuyi only had the echo of those words left in her mind. She could only feel that the impatience and restlessness in her chest were all melted into a vast ocean by these words that were as soft as honey and like spring water.
.
Perhaps, when he asked her if she wanted to go with him, she should have responded...
No! We can’t miss him anymore, business is more important!
Xia Chuyi shook his head to throw away the messy things, then looked at the formation of people and horses standing below, and said: "You must cooperate well for a while and don't reach out to touch those skeletons. Those things are also
It’s not a ghost, it’s just controlled by someone, so there’s no need to be afraid.”
The soldiers below, who had no confidence at all, finally felt confident after hearing Xia Chuyi's words, and they were no longer so panicked with the fishing nets in their hands.
Xia Chuyi raised his head and looked at the sky. He waved his hand and ordered a group of shadows to be distributed throughout Cangzhou City. They were responsible for exploring the points and figuring out the route of the skeletons so that they could set up an ambush.
The soldiers holding fishing nets kept their spirits high and were ready for action at any time.
Everything was arranged properly. Xia Chuyi thought about it and asked someone to prepare some kerosene and kerosene. Only then was everything ready, except for the east wind.
"Now I'm just waiting for the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts. I want to see who is more powerful, those ghosts or I, Xia Chuyi!"
Xia Chuyi said a few words to himself with cold eyes, then turned his head and looked at everyone.
Feng Luo was as taciturn as ever, but if you look closely, you can see that he seemed a little anxious, as if he was worried about something in his heart.
A look of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "Feng Luo, the felon prison cell in the city lord's mansion is quite unsafe. There are many very important felons imprisoned in it. Can you please help guard it?
For a moment?”
Feng Luo had been thinking about other things in his head. When he heard what Xia Chuyi said, it took him a long time to react.
He didn't answer anything, but first raised his head and looked next to Xia Chuyi.
She was standing with Jin Yuanbao on one side and Chang Huan on the other. There were so many shadows around her, so it was impossible for her life to be in danger.
What's more, with her current strength, there are really not many people who can kill her.
These thoughts swirled around in his mind, and then Feng Luo responded to Xia Chuyi's words: "Okay."
"Yeah." Xia Chu nodded, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the cell where felons were held.
Jin Yuanbao looked at Feng Luo. His big bright eyes and exquisite heart made it easy to see the problem.
"What is the origin of that bell? Is it a member of Feng Luo's clan?"
Xia Chuyi shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a helpless expression: "If you ask me, who should I ask? All I know is that the identity of that little girl is definitely not simple."
"Oh? How can you tell?" Jin Yuanbao suddenly became interested.
Xia Chuyi supported her chin with one hand, raised her eyes and thought for a moment, then tried to explain: "Let me tell you this, what do you think the fifth princess would be like if she lived in a small family?"
The fifth princess was born to Concubine Li, who died early, so the fifth princess could be regarded as being raised by the Queen. Especially during the years when the third princess went to the Imperial Academy, the fifth princess was alone in the palace.
She was so favored by Empress Wei and Xuanyuan Chun that she would have believed them even if they praised her as the best in the world before seeing the outside world.
If she was born into a small family, she would not be so lucky. After all, not every family has the ability to train several successors. Most concubine girls will end up like Xia Chuyi before.
Jin Yuanbao thought according to Xia Chuyi's thoughts and immediately understood what she was going to say: "You mean, if someone can develop a temperament like Lingdang's, the family environment must not be much different, right?"
Xia Chu nodded: "I'm just not sure where she comes from. After all, the world is so big. Even in Wuji Continent, besides the Xuanyuan Dynasty, there are so many subsidiary vassal states, let alone places outside Wuji Continent."
The two of them were chatting when they saw a man in black flying down from the roof, and he raised his hands towards Xia Chuyi and Jin Yuanbao: "Miss Xia, young master, Hundred Ghosts Night Parade is out!"
When Xia Chu heard this, he immediately became excited: "Let's go and catch ghosts!"
