The hard work of the past few days had exhausted Si Qi both physically and mentally, and he slipped into a daze as soon as night fell.

Although it was approaching summer at this time, the place where they were stationed was surrounded by the sea. Even in this summer, it was not hot and dry, and there was a cool breeze blowing from time to time, bringing a burst of coolness.

The night in the camp was quiet, with only a slight sound of wind outside the tent, and the lingering sound of footsteps and conversations with several soldiers taking turns watching the night, which brought an inexplicable sense of security to the sleeping people.

But suddenly, the sound of the wind mixed with a sound that was quite similar to the sound of a musical instrument broke into the ears.

The sound seemed to exist but not to exist, like a dream or illusion, like a wind chime in mid-air, like a fire in a cave.The sound of this music seems to have the effect of calming the nerves, making the sleeping person sleep more peacefully, and making the awake person feel drowsy.

Si Qi was not asleep at all. Hearing this voice, he felt a sense of uneasiness, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice from outside the tent: "Everyone, don't sleep, wake up! Cover your ears, don't listen!"

The voice was full of panic, mixed with the sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and suddenly stopped in front of the tent door, not knowing what to do, the tent curtain was lifted, and a cluster of light from outside the tent came in through the gap.

There was a figure under the light curtain, getting closer and closer, Si Qi wanted to open his eyes to see him clearly, but he couldn't see his face clearly after all.

Suddenly a strand of long hair came into his eyes, and in a daze, he seemed to see the ghost-like person he saw when he was poisoned a few days ago.

He frowned, and groped around in the quilt for a while, until his hands were cold, he breathed a sigh of relief, and grasped the short blade he used for self-defense.

He put the tip of his hand against the scabbard, slowly took out the knife, and when the man approached, he struck it away.

The man stepped back quickly, but he was still cut on his arm, causing him to frown slightly in pain.His panicked eyes instantly turned cold, but unfortunately the person on the bed couldn't see it under the darkness.

"You hate me so much? If I come to save you, I will be stabbed."

There was a hint of grievance in the tone, and there was a hint of joking.

These two days together in the army can be regarded as sharing life and death together, and the relationship has naturally become closer.

But Mu Han could tell that Si Qi didn't seem to care on the surface, but he still didn't let go of his grudge against him, and even treated him with indifference, making the torturers miserable, and then he simply stopped being mean.

He understood that the relationship between the two was glamorous on the surface, but it was not worth mentioning in private.

Si Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and his mind was instantly clear. He sat up with panic on his face: "Are you injured? Show me."

As he spoke, he groped forward with his hand, and when he was about to touch it, Mu Han hurriedly avoided his arm.

Walking to the side of the candlestick, he took out a fire folder in his arms and lit it: "I told you on weekdays to eat more medicinal food for eyesight, but you always refused to listen. It's the imperial doctor, I take care of it myself." Not good, now that you are only so old, you have become blind, if you are old, what should you do?"

Seeing the light in front of his eyes gradually brighten, Si Qi snorted slightly: "I just can't see clearly at night, don't say it like I'm blind. Besides..."

The smile on his face gradually froze, "If I'm old, won't I still have you." He wanted to say this, but it was stuck in his throat, and he didn't say it for a long time.

He understood that once he said this sentence, he could not turn back.

He still doesn't dare now, he finally crawled out of the mire, and he still dare not fall back, if he goes back, what awaits him is a deep abyss, and if he wants to turn back, it will be impossible.

Thinking of the heart-wrenching pain back then, he was afraid.

He was afraid of being mistaken again, afraid of believing him again, and what awaited him was another abyss.

He admitted that he was very selfish, so selfish that he would rather wrap himself up and be a hedgehog covered in thorns, constantly stabbing each other.I also don't want to be a little white rabbit held in the hands of the other party.

Mu Han is not a good stubble, even if he gets better, he can't change his nature.

He is shrewd and good at disguising. If he uses an animal metaphor, he is at least a fox now.

Although it seems that the sharp claws are retracted on the surface, it is only a means to seduce the enemy. It looks innocent and pure, but there is cunning everywhere in the expression, making people want to get close, but they are afraid to go forward.

"What's more?" Mu Han didn't seem to notice his abnormality, put away the booklet, and walked back.

"It's nothing." Si Qi's eyes drifted, and he changed the subject after thinking about it, "What happened just now? I heard noise outside."

Mu Han's expression was also solemn for a moment: "I don't know who it is, who wants to use the wind to control our minds. It should be to take advantage of the unpreparedness and carry out night attacks."

Si Qi was puzzled: "Is there such a magic trick?"

Mu Han nodded slightly: "Just now he played the song of leaving the soul. When I was young, I saw records about this song in the Bai, Ke... family classics. This song is played by Liuli Yuxiao. When the wind is moving, Interspersed in, not only can deceive people's eyes and ears, but also easily confuse people's minds. But it is also very destructive. I just hung wind chimes around the camp. cracked."

After all, a confident smile appeared on his face. Si Qi was in a trance for a moment when he saw this smile. Since the two met, he had never seen him smile like this.

The arc of his mouth bent unconsciously, and just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly felt dizzy.

The wind outside the tent roared even louder, accompanied by the sound of the flute.This time he could clearly hear the ethereal sound of the jade flute.The person who played Xiao seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and seemed to be in hell, which made the sound of the flute carry the hostility of elves.

"Cover your ears, quick!"

Mu Han's expression changed drastically when he heard the sound, and he quickly asked Si Qi to cover his ears.He ran out of the tent in one go. If he remembered correctly, there were several snare drums not far away. If he rang it as soon as possible to cover the sound, he might be fine, but if those people were really unconscious In the past, it would take a lot of effort to wake them up again.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw long red snakes winding around every corner of the tent, and they bit the soldiers in front of them in groups.

Lin Xizheng led the soldiers to hack and kill, but there were too many snakes in groups, and the attacks continued. The soldiers didn't have time to cover their ears. Hearing the sound of the flute, they felt a little drowsy. Naturally, many people were killed. Bitten.

Mu Han took out a dagger from his cuff, and dealt with the ones in front of Si Qi's tent in threes and fives.

Then a flying body landed in front of Lin Xi, pointing to the fire beside him: "Use this, snakes are afraid of fire. Do you know how to do it?"

Lin Xi nodded slightly, and just about to say something, he saw him lightly jumping to the side of the snare drum, swung the drumsticks on the corner stand and lifted them upwards.

Lin Xi scratched his head for some unknown reason, then turned around and ordered something, and they held torches to fight against the snakes.

Si Qi also ran out halfway and joined the battle.

A soldier had just killed two snakes, and when he stepped back, he suddenly bumped into something cold, which made him howl out in fright.Turning around, he gave a knife behind him.

There was only a crash, something fell to the ground, and then there was no movement.

The soldier slowly opened his eyes, and saw a string of wind chimes lying quietly on the ground, and all the snakes crawling on the tent were gone.

The soldier was slightly taken aback, as if he had learned something from it, and then looked at the tent beside him, which also had the wind chime hanging on it, and the snakes around were entangled one by one, intertwined with each other, ferocious like an inflated blood ball, covering the tent. It is slightly bent and very active.

The soldier walked over slowly, swallowed when he was far away, and then swung his knife.

Similarly, the wind chime fell to the ground without a sound, and the intertwined snakes scattered in an instant and crawled away quickly.

The soldier's eyes lit up, and he howled loudly: "It's the wind chime! Everyone cut off the wind chime, and everything will be fine!"

After all, the movement was crisp and neat, and the wind chimes were cut off one by one. After a while, there were no traces of snakes in the tent, only snake corpses remained.

Seeing this, Si Qi hurried back to the account, took out the medical kit, and prepared to show it to the injured soldiers.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Mu Han surrounded by people.

The group of soldiers pointed at him, their words were full of disrespect.

"You are a spy! You set up the wind chime, and you deliberately attracted the snake!"

"Tell me! Are you a secret agent of Qi State in our country?"

"I think it is! It looks like a human being, but I didn't expect it to be nothing at all!"

"Mr. Mu, we treat you well. We respect you as Mr., and you treat us like this? Do you still have a conscience?"

"He doesn't know how to write the word conscience, he is just a beast in clothes!"

They chattered at one another, but Mu Han remained silent, frowning tightly.

He didn't understand why this happened, he did hang up those wind chimes according to the law of restraint, why would he provoke these snakes of unknown origin.

Although these snakes are not poisonous, they are extremely vicious.

Although most of the soldiers did not die, it was a disaster for the army.

At this time, they were helpless, their vitality was already seriously injured, and after finally recuperating, they endured this battle again, which obviously made the situation worse.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said: "There must be a misunderstanding on this matter, the soldiers should be at ease."

"General, you must have solid evidence for what you say, and don't rely on your status to suppress us. What misunderstanding do you say? Here is the real evidence. He hung up the wind chimes and attracted snakes. As soon as the wind chimes broke, the snakes ran away. Where did we misunderstand? "

After that, he threw the wind chime that had been cut off at their feet.

Mu Han looked down and picked it up.

This wind chime was bought by him in the city a few days ago, and it doesn't look any different.

It was originally intended to comfort the deceased soldiers.

There is a custom in their hometown to put a wind chime next to the dead, and the wind chime will guide the lost people to find the way to the underworld.

Unexpectedly, the momentary kindness made people take advantage of the loophole.

Lin Xi shouted: "Everyone, calm down! Listen to me!"

The noisy crowd finally quieted down.

"I think there must be something strange about this matter. It may be a trick set up by the enemy. The purpose is to instigate our relationship and make us fight among ourselves. Have you forgotten about the poisoning before? Today I received information, and the supporting army It will arrive tomorrow, and His Highness the Crown Prince will personally take command. Since His Highness will arrive tomorrow, he will naturally make a decision on this matter. His Highness the Crown Prince is an upright person, and Lin guarantees with his life that His Highness will definitely give everyone a fair decision."

The group of soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally nodded their heads, agreeing.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then take him down and take care of him. We will make a decision when His Highness arrives tomorrow."

"Yes!"
