The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 113

Just as Rong Jiu had said, the First Courtyard in the East had three floors, with rooms next to each other on each floor. Although the courtyard was the largest, it was also the dirtiest. There was a decaying old tree at the entrance of the courtyard, with countless dead crows resting on it. Each of the crows had an eyeball in its mouth, which was rolling around crazily, scanning the surroundings for abnormalities.

Two small groups of ghost soldiers were shuttling back and forth, kicking and stomping, guarding the “tributes” that were going to be offered to the four ghost kings.

Mo Ran hid behind the corner, calculating the path that these ghosts would take while checking the blind spots of the palace.

Those small lattice-like rooms were all lit up, and from time to time, the cries, sighs, vomits, and moans of the ghosts could be heard. It was like an ancient chant in the night, making one’s hair stand on end and shudder.

There were roughly more than three hundred rooms here, and the patrols below would repeat every ten minutes. It was impossible for him to find Chu Wanning easily in ten minutes, not to mention that there were ghost guards at each floor’s entrance, holding the Soul Breaking Whip and a martial law whistle hanging around their necks.

Mo Ran was secretly anxious. At this time, he suddenly saw a ghost coming alone from afar. There was a black token with red words hanging on his waist, and he was wearing the same uniform as the guards. Mo Ran hid in the dark and watched him walk past him to the entrance of the stairs.

The ghost nodded to the guard standing by the stairs. The night was very quiet, so Mo Ran could easily hear their conversation.

“Seventh Brother, you’re here to take over Third Brother’s duty?”

“Yes. You’ll be here soon. ”

“I have to stay here for a while, he’s not here yet. I’ll go to rest when he’s here. ”

The ghost soldier who took over the duty went upstairs, and the guard on the first floor yawned in boredom and continued to guard in the wind.

Seeing them talking like this, Mo Ran suddenly had an idea and thought of a risky idea …

There was the sound of a clapper in the distance, duk duk duk.

The crows on the branches cried, “Wah — Wah —” as if they had found something unusual.

The guard at the entrance woke up and looked around. He saw a figure walking slowly in the thin night fog.

When he got closer, he realized that it was a young man he had never seen before. The guard became even more vigilant.

“Who are you?”

“I’m here to change shifts,” that person said.

The red clouds drifted past, revealing a round of moonlight in the sky, illuminating his face. What a handsome Ghost Bodyguard.

But his facial features were tall and straight, and the corners of his eyes were full of natural affection. This “ghost” who came to change shifts, if not Mo Ran, who else could it be?

He had somehow managed to procure a set of Yin soldier’s armor and draped it over his body. The black and red medallion hanging from his waist swayed back and forth, while the Martial Law Whistle hung in front of his chest, emanating a cold silver glow.

The guard said, “I’ve never seen you before.”

“A newcomer.”

The guard held out his hand skeptically. “A badge?”

Mo Ran removed the tag and handed it to him. His face was calm and collected, but his heart was tense to the extreme.

Fortunately, the guard looked at the medallion many times and didn’t find anything wrong with it. He was too lazy to care about it, so he patted his shoulder and said, “Then I’ll leave the rest of the night to you. I’m going home.”

“Senior, take care.”

The greeting of ‘Senior’ made the ghost laugh strangely. It waved its hand and said, “Good lad. Goodbye, goodbye.”

“Hey … Senior, wait a minute!”

“What’s wrong?” The guard turned around.

Mo Ran smiled and asked naturally, “How many people with the surname Chu are in this batch of tributes?”

The ghost guard was a little wary. “Why do you ask?”

“I’m helping Mr. Chu of Shunfeng Restaurant ask.” Mo Ran said, “He has a distant relative who said that he also came down. But Shunfeng Restaurant couldn’t find him, so I don’t know if he’s here. ”

Sure enough, Chu Xun’s reputation was somewhat intimidating. The guard hesitated for a moment and pointed to the second floor. “The three rooms in the innermost part all have the surname Chu. You can go and have a look. ”

Mo Ran smiled and said, “Thank you for your advice.”

“You’re welcome.” The senior was very stupid. “It’s my pleasure.”

After the guard finished speaking, he walked away leisurely while humming a song. When he passed by the corner, he didn’t find that his real colleague who was supposed to change shifts with him had already been tied up by the Binding Spell and thrown into the gutter. The poor ghost’s armor was stripped off, revealing only a thin layer of clothing. His eyes were full of anger, but his mouth was completely blocked, so he couldn’t even make a sound. He could only sulk.

Mo Ran didn’t trust Rong Jiu. Although the “tributes” who failed to be selected were locked up in groups in the side hall without anyone watching over them, and only a Binding Spell enchantment was cast on the outside, there might be ghost soldiers patrolling. With Rong Jiu’s hatred for him, he would definitely expose his whereabouts.

There was no time to lose, so he had to end this quickly.

Mo Ran stood there for a while, waiting for the wave of soldiers to pass by, and then immediately went straight to the second floor. There was also a guard on the second floor, and he crossed his spear to stop Mo Ran.

“Stop, what are you doing?”

“I’m the new guard today, on the first floor.”

The guard frowned, “Then you should stay on the first floor, why did you come to my floor?”

Mo Ran still used Chu Xun as a stepping stone, but the guard not only didn’t listen to him, but also said sternly, “Even if you are Mr. Chu from Shun Feng Gang, so what? As long as you enter the palace, you will belong to the four kings. If you want to save your relative, you should talk to the four kings yourself. I won’t take this matter! ”

Mo Ran secretly complained, thinking that this guy was much smarter than the one downstairs. He had to bite the bullet and said, “I don’t have to take him away today. But I have to see if I’ve found the wrong person, right? ”

“Isn’t that easy? You told me the name, and I’ll help you find it. There’s no need for you to go in. ”

“… …” Mo Ran was very anxious, but he suppressed his anger and said, “Chu Wanning. His name is Chu Wanning. ”

The guard was going to check the name list, but when he heard these three words, he put it down.

Mo Ran saw him like this, and suddenly felt uneasy. He asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem? ”

“What problem?” The guard sneered, and then said, “You really don’t know the difference between heaven and earth. The four kings came to the palace today to enjoy the beauties, and they already had their eyes on this Chu Xian Jun. If it wasn’t for the fact that this person’s first seven days haven’t passed and his three souls haven’t been fully gathered yet, he would have been presented to the ghost kings tonight. You want him from me? Tell me, what’s the problem? ”

Mo Ran’s face turned ashen halfway through, and when the guard finished, he said, “The four ghost kings have their eyes on him?”

“What?”

“… … Nothing. Then never mind. Sorry for disturbing you. ” Mo Ran turned around gloomily, and took two steps downstairs. Before the guard could react, the Shen Wu saw a ghost in his hand, and he suddenly turned around and strangled the guard’s neck!

The red light was blinding, and it flashed.

The so-called Shen Wu could hurt ghosts and kill gods. The guard only had time to see the scarlet red willow leaves fluttering in front of him, and hear the young man angrily say, “You really think I don’t dare to steal people from the ghost kings!” Then his mind scattered, and he fainted on the ground.

Mo Ran raised his hand to cast a spell, and tied him up tightly. He also sealed his mouth, kicked him to the side, and impatiently ran to the end of the corridor.

There were three rooms at the end, and each one was a lonely soul with the surname Chu.

But Mo Ran didn’t know why, but he felt something in his heart. He didn’t even know why he felt this strange feeling, and he pushed open the door with a bang. Because he ran too fast, he was panting slightly, and stood in front of the second room.

He was panting, and a strand of fine black hair fell in front of his eyes. He forgot to brush it away, and just stared at the inside.

Rong Jiu was right.

This was a single room about the same size as the beast cage, and the four walls were bleak, and everything was gray like death.

Only the person inside looked very warm, like a flame in the vast expanse of cold white.

Not every ‘tribute’ was bound. At the very least, Chu Wanning wasn’t. Maybe because he had been chosen by the four kings, the guards didn’t dare to offend him, and even the floor of his room was covered with a snow white animal skin blanket, thick and soft, like a new snow in the middle of winter.

Chu Wanning was sleeping soundly on the blanket. This person seemed to be brave, but in fact, he was always a little uneasy, and this was most obvious when he was sleeping. He always had a habit of curling up his body, making himself very small.

It seemed like he was trying to warm himself up, but also like he was afraid of taking up someone’s space. This thin person looked a little pitiful.

This soul was different from the human soul, there was no blood on his face, and he was handsome. He also changed his clothes, wearing a bright red silk robe like the sunset, a wide robe with large sleeves, with dragons and phoenixes, and golden butterflies dancing.

Mo Ran almost staggered forward, kneeled down beside him, and reached out a trembling hand to touch Chu Wanning’s face.

“Wanning …”

He didn’t blurt out “Master,” but the two words that he was used to calling him in the last period of his previous life.

The blood sea of hatred, deep into the bones.

Chu Wanning was carried up by him, and he was dizzy, and only woke up after a long time.

When he opened his eyes, he saw himself leaning in Mo Ran’s arms, and the young man’s face in front of him, which was still young, had never been so concerned. He felt that this might be a dream, so he frowned, sighed for a while, and closed his eyes again.

“Master!”

Someone called him by his ear.

This time, it was not Wanning.

“Master! Master! ”

Chu Wanning suddenly opened his phoenix eyes, although his expression didn’t change, his fingertips betrayed him, and began to tremble slightly.

In the next moment, Mo Ran grabbed his hand and put it on his face, crying and laughing, such handsome features, but under love, he became so embarrassed and lost his composure.

“Master.” He choked, looking at him without blinking, as if he couldn’t say anything, and could only keep repeating, “Master …”

Chu Wanning was hugged tightly by him, and finally came back to his senses, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, so he broke free from Mo Ran, got up, and glared at him.

For a long time, he didn’t say a word.

Suddenly, he was furious.

Before Mo Ran could react, Chu Wanning pulled his hand away, and then slapped Mo Ran’s face, his black eyebrows raised angrily, and swords were drawn.

“Bastard, how did you die too?!”

Mo Ran opened his mouth and was about to explain when he suddenly saw that under the hazy moonlight, although Chu Waning was angry, her eyes under her long eyelashes were filled with forbearance, sadness, and unwillingness. There seemed to be boundless water that would shatter at the slightest touch. After he finished cursing, he bit his lower lip, trying to hold back those sobs that made him feel humiliated and embarrassed.

Some people, when they had a wound, would want to tie their hands behind their backs and let the whole world know that they were injured.

But some people were proud and arrogant, those grievances and pain, even if it made their throats full of blood, would be swallowed, and would not tell others.

If he didn’t say, Mo Ran didn’t know before.

Now that he knew, he only felt heartache.

He wanted to hug Chu Wanning.

But Chu Wanning pushed him away, and said hoarsely, “Get lost.”

Chu Wanning turned his face, a layer of coldness covering ten thousand heavy injuries.

“You died at such a young age, what face do you have to see me?”

“Shizun …”

“Get out.” Chu Wanning turned his face even more, “Our master-disciple relationship is broken. I, Chu Wanning, do not accept trash who die in their prime.”

Die in their prime …

Mo Ran was originally sad, but when he heard him reprimand him so seriously, he suddenly felt his heart warm, as if spring water was gurgling out. He patted his forehead with his hand and then covered his eyes. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and bitterly.

When Chu Wanning heard his light laughter, he became even angrier, and said sternly, “What are you laughing at, you-” In his anger, he wanted to slap Mo Ran again, but his hand was caught by Mo Ran.

The youth’s gentle eyes slowly blinked, but he didn’t say anything, and instead took his hand, solemnly covering his chest.
