The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng grabbed the hanging pot and approached the wooden window, and then heard the intermittent scratching sound outside the window, interspersed with a few vague meows.

He raised his eyebrows, and opened the wooden window a crack, and a tiger-striped kitten rushed in. After a few light ups and downs, he jumped onto the chair from the ground, and then jumped onto the simple round table in the room, sitting upright on Lu Sheng. In front of him, a tail was raised high and curved, and the round eyes reflected the candlelight, shining dark gold.

However, Lu Sheng noticed that it had half a page of paper in its mouth, which seemed to be a fragment torn from some letter.

Seeing Lu Sheng approaching, the tiger-striped kitten lowered its head, put half a page of paper on the table, and gently pushed it with its front paws.

Lu Sheng put down the hanging pot, approached and picked up the fragment. It was kraft paper commonly used in the military. The paper was rough but very strong, and it was not easily damaged when exposed to water.He looked closely, and there were some fragments of words written on the paper, but he couldn't see the clues. It was probably a military record written by a military adviser. This staff member was probably showing off his talents and learning. He wrote beautiful and complicated ancient seal characters. Lu Sheng could recognize them for a long time. , but only know a few numbers, if it is used to convey military information, it will naturally be an obstacle, no wonder it was torn up and discarded.He also threw away the half-page paper, and sighed: "If Guo Qian has such ignorant staff, I'm afraid that success will be more than failure."

The tiger-striped kitten licked its paws slowly and said lazily, "This is written by Guo Qian himself."

As soon as Lu Sheng stretched out his hand, he grabbed the nape of his neck, held it in the air, and frowned, "Yan Xiu, are you serious?"

Yan Xiu let him carry it around, his four paws were tucked in the fluff under his belly, but his tail was naturally hanging down. Seeing that his expression was extremely serious, he meowed and said: "Of course I dare not lie to Mr. Baoyang, Guo Qian wrote I wrote it again, and burned it all if I was not satisfied, and I worked hard to steal... coughed up this half page."

Lu Sheng looked at it face to face, full of doubts for a moment.

As far as he knew, Guo Qian was illiterate. When he was in the Liaoxi camp, he asked a bookkeeper to write letters to his hometown in Shanyang.

How can an ordinary pariah be able to acquire this strict ancient seal script and its proficiency in proficiency?

Seeing that Lu Sheng was silent, the tiger-striped kitten meowed again. It flexibly hugged Lu Sheng's wrist with its four claws, and rubbed its face against his wrist comfortably, before saying, "Guo Qian smelly!" Very much."

Lu Sheng let it stick to him, wrapped his arms around him, hugged it in his arms, and stroked it gently. He felt that the fluff was soft and soft like a boneless ball. When he rubbed it, he was very cute. He couldn't help stroking it from the top of his head for a while. When he got behind him, he asked, "I didn't notice it, could it be... another demon or something?"

The kitten rested its chin on Lu Sheng's arm, squinted its eyes, purred in its throat, and swayed its tail comfortably from side to side. It is definitely not a kind person, Guo Qian must be either bewitched or possessed, I am afraid that I...haven't noticed it yet. But if things go on like this...well, ears, ears..."

Lu Sheng frowned in thought, scratching its ears absently, and said: "If it's a ghost, you have to consult everyone to solve it. For now, don't act rashly. You will send a letter to Xie Rong for me tomorrow."

He felt a little embarrassed again, coughed lightly and said: "This is... a, business, I have to bother your son."

The tiger-striped kitten was very understanding, it only blinked its golden pupils, raised its head and meowed a few times towards Lu Sheng, the soft, waxy and delicate whimpering sound of the little animal was not at all similar to Yan Xiu, Lu Sheng didn't know this The cat demon was pretending to be stupid, or the statute of limitations had really expired, so he was speechless.He had no choice but to put the kitten back on the table, burned the paper in the middle of the night, and said: "Replenish your energy, and worry about it tomorrow."

The kitten jumped onto the wicker and wicker chair covered with wolf fur, and fell asleep in a ball.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng had no choice but to wash up, blow out the lights, and go to rest.He just lay down, when the wicker chair made a slight sound, but the kitten jumped off the wicker chair, jumped onto the bed, leaned on his calf and turned around a few times, found a comfortable position, and lay down peacefully.

One person and one cat lived together peacefully, and slept until the next morning. Lu Sheng was sleepy, and noticed a ball of fluffy things rolling around at his feet. He opened his eyes and saw that the kitten was sleeping with its fur loose and its paws facing the sky. He exposed his belly with white hair in the brown-yellow tiger stripes, then leaned his head back and rubbed against his calf, and murmured in a daze, "Mmm...it smells like my son..."

Lu Sheng suddenly felt as if his whole body was on fire, turned over and sat up, took the kitten in his hand, walked a few steps to the side of the house, and threw it out of the window.

The tiger-striped kitten was thrown out of the window while half asleep and half awake. Fortunately, it should be quick, turned over in a hurry, and landed firmly in the courtyard. After washing his hair and face, scratching his ears, and calling a few more times, but there was no movement by the window, he knew that Lu Sheng was really annoyed, so he ran away dejectedly.

Lu Sheng knew that this move was nothing more than venting anger, it was just a subconscious move of embarrassment and embarrassment.

Because he was troubled by many things in the army, he still didn't realize it, but now that he counted, he hadn't seen Xie Rong for half a month.

It was inevitable that Lu Sheng would miss him a little.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lu Sheng met with Bailixiao and the others, but Yan Xiu was nowhere to be seen. Ji Chong snorted, "Brother Yan went out early in the morning, and said he wanted to investigate everywhere. It's just that he can do a good job as a royal guard after all." There are too many, and you go to investigate with a big swagger, you can tell that he is an outsider just by looking at his clothes, who will show his clues in front of him?"

Although the troops inside and outside the fortress took precautions against Yan Xiu, they would not be more vigilant against a tiger-striped kitten the size of a palm, not to mention that little monster Yan Xiu, who was humane in human form and very cunning in animal form, entrusted him to do things , Naturally feel relieved.It's just that he couldn't tell the three people in front of him clearly about this matter, so Lu Sheng could only smile and said, "He's going to investigate in the open, so that he can divert his attention."

Baili Xiao also frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, could it be... you want to use Brother Yan as bait?"

Before Lu Sheng opened his mouth, he heard a distant roar from outside the door, and the sound of footsteps surging like a tide. Everyone's expressions darkened, and they hurried out of the house, and saw Chen An hurried into the courtyard gate, clasped his hands and said, "Lu Sima , Rouran is coming to commit an offense, Captain Guo is dispatching troops, and the last general is ordered to serve Sima Lu." His expression was naturally relaxed, as usual, and he was used to it after thinking about it. Lu Sheng thought about it, and asked Chen An to lead the way. Going to see the battle.

Chen An then led the crowd to the high-cast earthen wall of the fortress, but he saw the fighting army lined up under the wall, like a forest of spears and halberds. Wearing a gleaming armor, holding a long-handled big knife, the blade is black and heavy, but it flies lightly in his hand, leading a group of troops and rushing towards the enemy.

As for the invading Rouran army, there are about a thousand people, all of them are as fierce as wolves, and everyone shouts to kill, just like two iron streams colliding fiercely, blood is splashed everywhere.

Guo Qian was even more brave, like a god of war descending, rushing straight through the enemy army, as if entering no one's land, the sword passed by, his limbs were broken, and his life was lost. The enemy army also noticed the power of this brave general. , sent more troops to surround and block Guo Qian, but it didn't work at all, and they were all beheaded by Guo Qian.There are more archers around in the distance, and the bows and arrows are aimed at Guo Qian. Just when they are about to shoot, a sergeant suddenly rushes out of Guo Qian's team, and rushes into the archers in the blink of an eye. They killed hundreds of archers.

The sergeant was wearing a helmet and was tall. He turned around slowly, glanced at the dirt wall, and then retreated into the army without a trace.

Lu Sheng couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he stepped forward unconsciously, frowned and said, "That's..."

Chen An was also surprised: "There are such people in our army? When discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, you should get acquainted."

Lu Sheng saw that he really didn't know him, so he stopped asking.

Because of this attack, the morale of our army became more and more boosted, and the drums of war were heard. Guo Qian wiped out seven or eight of the Rouran barbarians, and the rest either surrendered or ran for their lives. They were all caught up by the past one by one. Killed, but no one was left alive.

From the beginning of the battle to the end, in less than half an hour, Guo Qian chased all the way to the place where he could not see, wiped out all the fleeing barbarians, and the soldiers behind him began to clean up the battlefield. The team took turns to work, make the best use of the things, and send them to the corpse forest.

It was also inconvenient for Lu Sheng and the others to stay longer, so they got off the wall and told Chen An to come and inform Guo Qian as soon as he finished his official duties.Chen An was ordered to leave. Seeing that he had gone far away, Ji Chong lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, this Guo Qian is not a simple person."

Lu Sheng recalled the half-page book stolen by Yan Xiu last night, and his heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "How do you say that?"

Ji Chong crossed his arms, and said in thought: "The moves he uses... I have probably seen it before."
