"How about going first?"
Chen Tang kept paying attention to the changes in Jiang Sheng's expression.
"Strange..." Jiang Sheng murmured, "This shouldn't be the case."
Bai Su looked very good, and she was a brave warrior with abundant martial energy. Not to mention the pressure, she could still be full of energy even if she stayed up all night for three or five days. Jiang Sheng took Bai Su's pulse again. With his current medical skills, he could only see that she had abundant energy and blood and was full of vitality.
Jiang Sheng asked Bai Su: "General Bai, is there anything on your mind?"
Since it is not a physical reason, it must be psychological.
Bai Su shook her head with certainty: "No."
The lord who was under the most pressure was cheerful all day long, so how could she be under so much pressure that she would suffer from soul separation syndrome? Jiang Sheng ruled out all the options, and finally only had one guess left: "If none of them is true, then did anyone in General Bai's ancestors suffer from soul separation syndrome?"
This question stumped Bai Su.
She couldn't say for sure no, nor could she say for sure yes.
Because it's not clear at all.
Bai Su had no choice but to tell the truth.
Jiang Sheng was basically certain that this soul separation syndrome was hereditary, and there had been similar cases before, so he suggested that the military doctor prescribe some soul-solidifying and mind-reinforcing medicine for Bai Su. Because the pathogenesis was unknown, the subordinates and guards had to be careful when Bai Su was sleeping.
Bai Su remembered it carefully.
It was getting late, and everyone dispersed one by one.
Gu Chi lingered until the end, and only he and Bai Su were left in the tent. He looked at Bai Su, who was wrapped in a cloak and staring at the prescription, her brows almost twisted into a knot. He hesitated and said, "Just now, General Bai seemed to have something to say?"
Bai Su sighed, "There's nothing much to say."
He then called his personal guards and asked them to get the medicine and boil it.
After the guards left: "I should have been the one who killed him..."
"evidence?"
"I killed someone in my dream, and another person died in reality..." Bai Su looked at her hands. The palms were filled with sticky blood that had not yet completely dried. She looked a little confused and frightened. Soul separation syndrome is not a big deal, but it is not a small one either.
It wouldn't be a big deal for an ordinary person, but she is a brave warrior whose strength is rising rapidly, and she is the commander of a female battalion. If she kills people when her soul separation syndrome occurs, how can she lead the army in the future? She killed a hapless scholar today, what can she do next
If I kill my personal guards and my deputy generals...
The words "murderous by nature" would be deeply imprinted on her, which would be a fatal blow to her prestige in the army. If her illness worsened, who knows what would happen. Bai Su did not dare to speak out her inner fear and worry, she was really afraid.
Fear of the unknown, worry about the future.
She was lost in thought and didn't notice that her fingers were shaking. It wasn't until her palms touched the body temperature of another person that she woke up from her dream and pulled her hand back in fear. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, her tense heartstrings relaxed a little. Gu Chi's voice was a few degrees softer than usual, and he patiently asked Bai Su: "What did you experience in your dream? Why did you kill someone? Who did you kill?"
Bai Su said: "Kill you."
Gu Chi: “…”
Eating melons on your own head
Inexplicably, I felt a chill on my neck: "Me?"
"I dreamed of the day when I first gathered my martial courage. At first, it was exactly the same as my memory. General Gongshu came to me and said, 'Congratulations, you, the humble scholar Bai Su.'" Bai Su will always remember that day, including the weather, the colors of the trees and flowers, the fragrance in the air, the first time she felt the subtlety of the martial courage running in the Dan Palace, and the endless sense of fullness when the martial energy flowed through the meridians. "I said, 'General Gongshu, I have something else to ask,' and then drew my two swords out of their scabbards."
She challenged Gong Shuwu to a battle.
As a low-ranking official.
The result was naturally a disastrous defeat.
Gong Shuwu broke both of her swords with just one move.
Bai Su continued, "After that, General Gongshu asked me to return to the camp for a check-in half an hour later, and then..."
"After that, I was the one who said, 'Banbu really doesn't give me any face at all'?" That day was a very ordinary day for Gu Chi, but as a scholar, Wenxin had a strong memory and he could still recall some details.
Bai Su said indifferently: "No."
Gu Chi said: "How could it not be?"
"In the dream, I discovered your whereabouts, so I called out to you, 'Why are you hiding? Come out!' You came out and said, 'How dare you be so rude, just a humble warrior!'" Bai Su finished speaking, silently looking at Gu Chi's face. She still clearly remembered the anger in her dream. "The person in the dream was not joking. Your true feelings are clearly written in your eyes."
Gu Chi argued: "Then how can it be me?"
Bai Su said: "The you in the dream are not you?"
Gu Chi: “…”
It's bad enough that he has to take the blame for his lord on a daily basis, but he has to take the blame for a person in his dream. Isn't this a bit too unreasonable
Bai Su admitted that the words she said to Gu Chi were orders, but that was her habit from daily military training, and Gu Chi was not an unsympathetic person, and his words did step on a landmine. She asked: Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this
Her heart wanted to stab someone, and her hands wanted to stab someone even more, but she still controlled her temper. However, Gu Chi in the dream did not know how to restrain himself. He also glanced at Bai Su and turned to leave. Bai Su's anger could no longer be suppressed and burst out at once.
Stop and speak clearly!
"Then what about me in the dream?"
Bai Su sneered: "No, you asked me to leave."
Gu Chi: “…”
Bai Su thought it was just a dream anyway. Gu Chi in the dream was so rebellious and rude. How could he have the right to stay in her dream? If she killed him, she would kill him. She couldn't indulge him. She chose to take action.
Bai Su said calmly: "After all, he is just a character in a dream. He was taken down in just a few moves. I'll cut off his head to teach him a lesson."
Gu Chi: “…”
Behead... teach a lesson...
Bai Su's relaxed brows furrowed again.
"Who knows, I just mentioned your head..."
Gu Chi quickly corrected her: "It's not my head. My head is firmly around my neck, not in your hand."
"Anyway, I was awakened by the strange headless corpse just after I mentioned it. You know everything that happened after that." At that moment, Bai Su's psychological shadow was infinitely huge, and a headless corpse with blood spurting out fell on her bed.
If it weren't for the headless corpse, this dream would be quite refreshing.
Gu Chi seemed to be stuck in some huge problem.
"You killed him so quickly?"
Bai Su asked, "Are you still waiting to wake up from the dream?"
Gu Chi was speechless, and even felt that Bai Su's words made sense, but he wanted to remind her: "But that's me!"
Shouldn't I hesitate when looking at this face
Bai Su looked at him with a half-smile.
He asked, "What kind of preferential treatment does Military Advisor Gu want?"
It was good enough that the real Gu Chi was not implicated by the Gu Chi in the dream. She still gets angry when she recalls that dream.
Gu Chi chose to mute his microphone.
He asked Bai Su not to kill himself in the dream, and Bai Su implicated herself in reality because of herself in the dream. These two things sounded quite unreasonable. When the soldiers brought in the boiled medicine, Gu Chi frowned uncomfortably just by smelling it.
Bai Su's face was calm. She waited for the medicine to cool down a little before drinking it all up. She didn't even frown when she felt the bitterness on her tongue. "Aren't you used to drinking it?"
Gu Chi said: "But this time you drink it."
If the root cause of the disease cannot be found and completely cured, you will have to drink it for a long time.
Bai Su didn't care: "As long as the medicine works, that's fine."
Whether it is hard or not is nothing compared to the future.
Gu Chi didn't expect that Bai Su wouldn't need to take medicine the next day.
Following Chu Yao's suggestion, Chen Tang hung the headless corpse high at the gate of his own camp before the night fell.
This movement soon spread to the ears of various forces. There was also a meeting that day to strengthen the details of the task determined yesterday.
The meeting hasn't started yet and everyone isn't here yet.
Wu Xian sat on Shen Tang's left, and Gu Ren sat on his right.
She was eating the cake in the middle. She slept too late last night, and had to arrange things in the military camp. In addition, the meeting was urgent, so she didn't even eat two bites of breakfast. Before Huang Lie came, she took the time to replenish. The eyes of the coalition army fell on her vaguely, because she ate happily, because of the headless corpse in her camp, and Chen Tang was concentrating on eating.
"Brother Chen, what's the matter with the body you hung up so early in the morning?" Wu Xian chose to go straight to the point and inquire for information.
Gu Renze stretched his ears to listen to the noise.
Chen Tang wiped the biscuit crumbs from his mouth: "A little thief."
Before Wu Xian could ask more, alliance leader Huang Lie came into the account.
Leaders of other forces also entered one by one.
Huang Lie looked at Chen Tang below with complicated eyes. He probably didn't expect that Chen Tang would cause trouble as soon as he arrived. The hanging of the headless corpse in the camp was meaningful and intriguing. Who was it to deter, warn, or provoke...
"County Magistrate Shen, I heard something happened in your camp this morning?"
Chen Tang was a straightforward person, and he didn't beat around the bush: "Yeah, isn't the body left outside the door? If a bad guest comes in the middle of the night, should I invite him down to my tent to rest, have a couple of drinks, and take a nap before leaving?"
Everyone heard the noise and made a commotion.
Huang Lie was shocked: "Did this person offend County Magistrate Shen?"
Chen Tang didn't want to drag Bai Su into this. After all, it's not good to tell others about killing someone in a dream. She said, "Haha, an uninvited guest is just a minor offense in the eyes of the leader. I killed someone in my dream. I was sleeping soundly at that time. This little thief came in to seek death! When I woke up, his head and body had been separated. I just didn't know where he came from, so I hung the body out for people to take back."
As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, with suspicion in her eyes.
Huang Lie hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Shen, please be careful with your words."
Gu Ren also joined as a firefighter.
"We are allies who have sworn an oath of blood. We are in the same boat, sharing the same aspirations, and fighting against the tyrant together. We will never do anything despicable to plot against our allies. This person is most likely a minion sent by Zheng Qiao, whose purpose is to alienate us..."
Others also echoed and hurriedly defined the matter!
"Yeah, yeah, don't be fooled."
"It must be Zheng Qiao's despicable trick!"
"Fortunately, Mr. Shen is a skilled martial artist..."
"Otherwise it would lead to disaster..."
As they talked, there was a hint of relief on their faces.
If they started fighting among themselves before the battle even started, their already barely cohesiveness would instantly fall to the bottom. Thinking from this perspective, everyone broke out in a cold sweat - it was so close, it was almost over, luckily, luckily!
Another person made a suggestion.
"Why not hang the body of that little thief in front of the battle array?"
Hanging it in front of the gate of Chen Tang’s camp is not deterrent enough. He should show it to let Zheng Qiao see clearly that his methods are vulnerable!
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"Hanging it out can also hurt the enemy's morale!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Destroying Zheng Qiao's conspiracy before the war can boost the morale of our army.
Huang Lie also agreed and looked at Chen Tang to ask her opinion.
"What does County Magistrate Shen think?"
What else can Chen Tang do
No one claimed the headless body, so she lost the chance to extort money. It was also scary to hang a worthless headless body in front of the camp gate, so she nodded and handed the body over to Huang Lie for disposal. Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, saying that Chen Tang was magnanimous.
As for her love of killing people in dreams, no one cared. After all, it was not them whose lives were in danger, but the soldiers and scholars around Chen Tang who were in panic. For a while, the atmosphere in the camp was harmonious, but there was one person who was very unsociable.
This person is Gu Chi's key observation target.
Tao Yan!
As he expected, the man last night was Tao Yan's subordinate.
but-
What the hell is Tao Yan thinking
The rising anger was suppressed by the other party's voice.
The other party’s voice process is as follows—
It's really abominable, hanging the corpse of old military advisor Li! This Shen Youli should be cut into pieces... No, how could Shen Youli kill him? So - wait, if he killed him, doesn't it mean that Gu Guanchao's homosexuality was due to him? Shen Youli and Gu Guanchao, Shen Youli and Gu Guanchao... These two are mixed together, hahahaha, Teacher Gu has a noble character all his life, but the only existing bloodline is a bunny with a sticking butt, a flatterer, it's really wonderful!
Gu Chi: “…???”
His head suddenly pounded three times, full of question marks.
Tao Shenyu really didn't live up to his name. What did he mean by "the bunny with a sticking butt"? And how did he get involved with the lord? On what basis did the other party come up with this absurd inference? Why didn't Chu Wuhui kill him after hearing this
I was originally full of anger, and now I am full of doubts.
He didn't have time to target Tao Yan for the moment.
Throughout the meeting, Tao Yan was either cursing Gu Chi and Chen Tang, or planning how to avenge old military advisor Li, and thinking about how to get rid of Gu Chi. Occasionally, he would make some unhealthy assumptions and speculate about the two men.
If one of them is not yourself, and the other is not the male version of the lord, it would be a good taboo story between the monarch and his ministers.
My partner today is still Luan Xin.
He noticed that Gu Chi looked strange.
It was not until the meeting came to a temporary end that Huang Lie invited everyone to drink some tea to moisten their throats, and then Luan Xin spoke to him in secret.
"Gu Wangchao, did you gain anything?"
Gu Chi's malicious thoughts surged up: "Yes."
Luan Xin asked again: "What's the matter?"
Gu Chi said: "Some people speculate that the lord has visited me."
“Ahem…”
Luan Xin choked on a mouthful of water and started coughing violently.
He recovered and scolded Gu Chi: "Gu Wangchao, you bastard!"
His desire for Dao Gu Chi grew stronger.
In the end, the knife was not completed.
But two days later, news came out that Chen Tang not only liked to kill people in his dreams, but also liked homosexuality. Someone under his command was deeply favored by the master, and Chu Yao was so angry that he wanted to catch the culprit. The culprit was not only the one who spread the rumor, but also the other person in the rumor!
This gossip brought a different kind of relaxed atmosphere to the dull and solemn military camp, but it was soon dispersed by the movement in Zheng Qiao’s camp!
