Anchor, your box lunch is here

The square library is filled with densely packed books, ranging from bamboo slips to thread-bound books. Chaoan is standing by the innermost bookshelf, holding a parchment scroll in his hand, and is concentrating on it.

He frowned slightly, apparently not finding what he wanted.

Yu Si'an once said that there was a seal in Si Mu's body, which was set by a strong man. After Chao'an recovered his memory, he knew that the person who set the seal was himself.

In fact, this is what he left behind, in the half-broken hairband, to prevent the place where he was sleeping from leaking out, and to protect Xuanzhao, as long as Xuanzhao leaves the Chaos Sea, he will seal all About his memory.

Now Chaoan wants to know what happened to Xuanzhao later, why did he leave the Chaos Sea?How did you get reincarnated?He also wanted Si Mu to recall this memory shared by the two of them, which required him to lift the seal.

Although Chao An has now been promoted to the level of the ghost king, his strength is not as good as before, not enough to lift the seal, and it will be hundreds of years before he returns to his heyday, so he came to the library of the underworld, wanting to read See if there is any other way.

Chao'an has been here for a while, but he has not found a solution until Chao'an found this parchment scroll from a corner, which specifically tells how to break various seals. The author is a very old existence. Older than Chao'an.

"The Nanke Dream Charm can stimulate the subject's memory and let him break free from the seal..."

On the last line of the parchment scroll, Chao An saw a pattern of a talisman paper. The so-called Nanke Dream Talisman is to enter the dream world of the subject, and by changing the dream world of the subject, stimulate the memory of the other party, and then let the other party Take the initiative to break free from the seal.

It is difficult for Chaoan to break the seal by himself, but if Si Mu is added, the two should cooperate with each other, and there is still a chance to break the seal.

Chaoan put away the sheepskin scroll, and was going back to refine this Nanke Dream Entrance Talisman and try its effect.

……

At the same time, Si Mu was having a meeting in the Underworld, and all the high-level officials had arrived, except for the warden, who was recuperating at home because he had plotted against Si Mu and caused Chaoan to be injured.

Si Mu personally visited the house that day, took him to the martial arts arena and beat him up. If Bai Wu hadn’t promised Bai Wu, the warden would have ascended to heaven. Therefore, during this period, the efficiency of the ghost prison director’s work has obviously risen sharply. They all feel that the guards of Hell are becoming more and more strict.

At the meeting, the senior management reported to Si Mu some recent major events and some resolutions made by various departments. Si Mu nodded feebly, expressing that he knew it, and seemed absent-minded.

The officer in charge and the liaison officer looked at each other when they saw the reaction of their own lord. They felt that the matter was not simple, so they speeded up the process of the meeting, and the meeting ended quickly. The high-level officials left one after another, and only the liaison officer stayed behind. .

"My lord, what happened? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Because the liaison officer had a lot of contact with Si Mu, it wasn't too abrupt to ask such a question. Si Mu thought about it and felt that he couldn't solve the problem by worrying here, and that multiple people could help him think of a solution, so he put his troubles on the table. Speak up.

"After An An agreed to my marriage proposal, he didn't say when he would get married, and he didn't get close to me. He stayed in the library all the time. Do you think he regretted it?"

Uh... the liaison officer has a feeling that this is indeed the case, and the only person who can make Mr. Fu so distressed is the wife of Mr. Fu.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, have you consummated with your wife?"

Si Mu shook his head. Now even the liaison officer who works overtime every day feels sympathetic to her boss. As far as she knows, the Fujun and his wife have known each other for 40 years, and they have never even had an intimate relationship. No progress at all?

After pondering for a moment, the liaison officer suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"My lord, we contacted Si Xin to develop a dream-making system that can create various dreams according to the wishes of the host. Maybe my lord can use the system to enter my wife's dream and learn about my wife's preferences?"

"For example, what kind of wedding format Madam likes, what kind of love talk she likes to hear, and even what kind of intimate contact she likes, you can know."

When he said the last sentence, the liaison officer blinked at Si Mu, Si Mu understood in seconds, and he admitted that he was moved.

"Sounds good."

Seeing Si Mu's interested expression, the liaison officer introduced him even more vigorously.

"If Mr. Fu doesn't know what kind of dreams to create, we also provide various scripts here. They are said to be the sweetest love stories nowadays. They will definitely impress Madam."

"What about confidentiality?"

"Don't worry, my lord, apart from you and your wife, no third person knows what happened in the dream."

After listening to it, Si Mu felt that it was very feasible, so he waved his hand and asked the liaison officer to prepare this dream-making system.

……

That night, in the Fujun Palace, Si Mu had been waiting here for a while, and finally waited until Chao An pushed the door in.

"An An/Brother Mu..."

The voices of the two rang out almost at the same time, and they were taken aback for a moment before they said: "You speak first/You speak first."

"Then I'll go first/Then I'll go first."

Uh... this tacit understanding is gone, Chaoan decided to skip the steps and took out the Nanke Dreaming Amulet sealed in the cloth bag.

"I'll give you a present."

"Coincidentally, I also have something for you."

"I'll give you a peace talisman."

"I'll give you a transfer bead."

Then Si Mu was holding the peace talisman that was actually Nanke's dream-entry talisman, and Chao An was wearing the dream-making system's transfer beads, both of them fell into deep thought.

After the two people took the things from each other, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling that their goals had been achieved, and they could enter each other's dream world immediately.

Sure enough, drowsiness struck soon, and it was Nanke's dream-entry talisman and dream-making system that were at work.

However, what Chao An didn't expect was that the rune on the Nanke Dream Entrance Talisman flickered a few times before igniting spontaneously without wind, and at the same time the dream system also turned on a red light:

[Warning: Due to unknown interference, the system malfunctioned. 】

[Warning: Due to unknown interference, the system malfunctioned. 】

[Warning: Due to unknown interference, the system malfunctioned. 】

Something is wrong!

As soon as such an idea came into the minds of the two of them, they fainted at the same time.

……

"I won't marry, I don't like him at all, I don't want to marry."

"Jiaojiao, don't mess around, the Si family's dowry has already been paid for the matter of engagement, how can it be said that if you don't marry, you won't marry."

"Mom, I really don't like that young commander-in-chief, tell daddy, don't let me marry him, okay?"

"The Si family has a strong army, and Young Marshal Si is also a good-looking man. He is a good husband-in-law that many people dream of. Why are you still unwilling?"

"Father, mother, let me tell you the truth, I, I have someone I like, and I will not marry unless I am Zhong Cheng in this life!"

"What! How can you, a girl from every family, say such things, ruin the family style, ruin the family style..."

Noisy voices came from far and near, as if across the water, Chaoan felt that he had had a long dream, so long that he thought that the dream was the reality, and the reality was the dream.

Rubbing his somewhat swollen head, he lowered his palm on An'an's head, opened his eyes and looked towards the direction where the voice came from just now, that is, the center of the living room, and found that three pairs of eyes were staring at him without blinking. .

"what happened?"

"An An, your father asked you something." The beautiful woman in the cheongsam reminded Chao An that this is Chao An's mother, Huo Xiuxiu, a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Chaoan's appearance and personality are largely influenced by her.

"Sorry, I took a nap just now, so what?"

While speaking, Chao An began to look at the scene in the living room.

Sitting directly above was a middle-aged man in a gray gown, drinking tea from a teacup. His face was still full of anger, and he was a serious man. This was Chao An's father, Chao Jianyuan.

The third room of the Chao family, Chao Jianyuan, is the most capable and loved by the old man Chao, so he accepted the business of the Chao family as a matter of course, and became the current leader of the Chao family. There are two older brothers above Chao Jianyuan, both Incompetent, now all rely on Chao Jianyuan to subsidize his life.

Standing in the center of the living room is a girl about the same age as Chao An, her name is Chao Jiao, she is Chao An's twin sister, she is wearing a light blue school uniform, with a jacket buttoned on top and a skirt underneath, Full of youthful vigor, but now teary, looking a little pitiful.

Mrs. Chao has already introduced it before, so I won’t go into details here. There is an old woman standing next to Mrs. Chao. She is Mrs. Chao’s nanny. It's not convenient for her to talk too much.

"Your sister doesn't want to get married, what do you think about this?" Mrs. Chao repeated Chao Jianyuan's words softly.

It was only then that Chao An remembered that his father called him here today to discuss his younger sister's marriage. Married to the young master of the Si family, who is now the hottest Marshal Si.

As a result, Mrs. Chao gave birth to a pair of twins. The eldest son was a boy and could not be married off. As the second daughter, Chao Jiao naturally became the betrothed object of Marshal Si.

However, Chaoan and Chaojiao, the siblings, have completely reversed their personalities. Chaoan Xijing doesn't like to go out, while Chaojiao is lively and active, and goes out every day, even secretly going to school to study.

So the bloody thing happened. Chaojiao fell in love with a boy named Zhong Cheng in the classmate, and she was unwilling to marry the eldest son of the Si family. In order to control the development of the situation, Chao Jianyuan held an emergency family meeting, so Chao Jiao appeared The scene that Ann just saw.

After sorting out the ins and outs, she sat up straight in front of An, and said in a calm tone: "Since my sister doesn't like Yuanzhou, then call off the marriage. I don't want her to live an unhappy life."

"The marriage was settled a long time ago, and the Si family's dowry has been paid. If we want to withdraw the engagement now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Si family? If we anger the Si family because of this, and bear the reputation of being untrustworthy, we will return to the Chao family in the future." How to gain a foothold in this southwest?"

"I have a good relationship with Yuan Zhou, I will go and tell him that he will definitely not embarrass our Chao family." After finishing speaking, Chao An stood up and was ready to go out.

"You are messing around with her too, don't go! Do you think this is a child's house?" Chao Jian slapped his palm on the table vigorously, "The auspicious date has been set, anyway, if this relative is willing, it will be successful, no You can do what you want, come here, take the young lady back to the room, and strictly guard her, until the Si family comes to pick her up, they won't let her out!"

After Chao Jianyuan left this sentence, he threw his sleeves and left, leaving everyone with a cold back. Chao An knew that his father was anxious to marry his sister to the Chao family not for the simple fulfillment of the agreement, but for self-protection.

Now Chao's family is like a piece of fat, if there is not enough deterrence, it may be eaten by others at any time, but Chao'an still disagrees with using his sister's happiness as a sacrifice.

"Jiaojiao, you are obedient, don't blame your father, there is nothing your father can do."

Mrs. Chao wiped her tears, couldn't bear to look at her daughter's face anymore, and left the living room, only Chao Jiao and Chao An were left in the living room, Chao Jiao walked in front of Chao An, and couldn't help crying again.

"Brother, only you can help me now, you must help me, I really don't want to marry him."

"There are still a few days before we get married, let me go back and think of a way, you go with them first, so as not to anger daddy."

"it is good"

Chao Jiao stood up and followed the maid back to the room. The door was locked as soon as she got back. Chao Jianyuan made up his mind not to let her regret the marriage.

……

Chaoan went back and thought about it, but he didn't come up with a good solution. He has no power and power now, he is just a scholar, and it is too difficult to affect the current situation.

And something happened that made Chaoan very speechless. His sister got married, and he was also grounded. His father was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he was detained at home on the grounds of recuperation. Even if he wanted to go to Yuanzhou to intercede Can't do it.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Chaojiao hadn't heard from her brother, and the more she waited, the more anxious she became, and then she gritted her teeth and said that she must escape, at worst, she would elope with Zhong Cheng.

So one day when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Chaojiao lured the guards in under the pretext of being unwell, knocked her out, and then escaped from Chao's house through a hidden dog hole with her little baggage in her arms.

Thanks to Chaojiao sneaking out before, she also knew that there was a dog hole in the corner of the wall.

Leaving Chao's house without any risk, Chaojiao went directly to find Zhong Cheng, and the two of them decided that elopement was reliable, so they went out of the city at night.

The next day, the disappearance of Miss Chao's family shocked Linqi City. Chao Jianyuan was worried about her daughter's safety, so she found the Si family and asked the Si family to help her find her. Young Marshal Si personally led a team to search for Miss's trace.

It was rumored in Linqi City that Young Marshal Si had a deep-rooted love for his fiancée, but they didn't know that after leaving Linqi City, Young Marshal Si didn't let anyone look for him at all, but rushed directly in a certain direction, as if he had known about the future Jiao position.

At this moment, Chao Jiao had just come out of a mountain inn and was about to continue on her way, when she found that the outside was already surrounded by troops, and standing among the troops was Young Marshal Si who had just dismounted from his horse and was taking off his gloves.

Chao Jiao had met the legendary Marshal Si before, but it was a few years ago. Now that she saw him again, she found that the rumors were indeed true.

The man in front of him was more than eight feet tall, with a handsome and resolute face. He was wearing a dark green military uniform. From the neatly buttoned collar to the cold boots on his feet, he gave off a vigor and determination. , the feeling that strangers should not get close.

After seeing Chaojiao, Si Mu walked straight towards Chaojiao, his boots buckled on the ground making a crisp sound, which made Chaojiao feel afraid, so he couldn't help but take a step back, while Zhong Cheng directly stood in front of Chaojiao .

Si Mu stood still in front of Chao Jiao, without looking at Zhong Cheng the whole time, but said in a cold tone: "Miss Chao, your father is very worried about your safety, please come back with me."

The words are still polite, but there is always a sense of business, not like a fiancé, but as if he is here to carry out a mission. After hearing this, Chao Jiao doesn't want to marry Si Mu even more.

"Well, Young Marshal Si, can I discuss something with you?"

"Miss Chao has 10 minutes."

"Can you change the place? There are too many people here..."

"can."

After saying that, Si Mu took the lead and walked towards the inn, bit his lip at Chaojiao, and followed.After entering the room, Chaojiao was thinking about how to speak, but she didn't speak for a long time. Si Mu was a little impatient, so she said, "Miss Chao, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Well, then I'll just say it straight, don't be angry."

"Miss Chao is not worthy of my anger."

"You—" Chaojiao felt that this person was so incomprehensible to a certain extent, but fortunately Ah Cheng was not like that, "Forget it, let me tell you, I don't want to marry you, I have someone I like, you go The Chao family should call off the marriage."

"it is good"

"Forcing will not lead to good results...Eh? You agreed? And you agreed so readily?"

"I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

"The dowry has been paid, and it is impossible to withdraw the engagement. It is related to the reputation of the Chao family and the Si family, but you can replace the married person."

"Who would it be? My father is my only daughter."

"Go back and beg your brother to let him marry you. After that, I will send someone to send you and your little lover away."

Chao Jiao blushed, and said in embarrassment: "It's not some little lover, that's my classmate."

"It doesn't matter what the name is. You should think about this condition carefully."

"Why is my brother taking my place? What do you want to do to my brother?"

A mocking expression appeared on Si Mu's face.

"Can you find anyone else besides your brother? And what can I do to your brother?"

"That's true, but why don't you just let us go today and wait until the day we get married?"

Si Mu didn't answer, but glanced at his pocket watch, and said expressionlessly: "It's time, Miss Chao, hurry up and make a decision."

"I……"

"You only have one chance."

Chao Jiao glanced at the soldiers surrounding the inn downstairs, feeling entangled in her heart, seeing what happened, Si Mu turned around and left, Chao Jiao became anxious, and said quickly: "I promise you, I will go back and beg my brother."

Si Mu paused, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Miss Chao made a smart choice."

"Hmph, I don't know what your purpose is for doing this, but if you let me know what you did to my brother, I will definitely not let you go!" Zhao Jiao pulled his fist, showing a fierce look expression.

"Miss Chao, don't worry, Brother Ling and I are good friends, and we won't make things difficult for him."

Si Mu's words made Chao Jiao heave a sigh of relief, and the two went downstairs one after the other. Finally, Chao Jiao got on the horse and returned to Linqi City with Si Mu.
