Chapter 47 Sleepwalking in the Modern Times
Chapter 47 Sleepwalking in the Modern Times
Cheng Shengxuan hated himself immensely.
In order to let General Zhou take over Chengzi Camp smoothly, he spread the news, but he didn't expect it to come true!
Is this God's punishment for him lying and cursing his relatives?
He was the one who killed his grandmother and mother!
Cheng Shengxuan was filled with remorse and anger, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Grandmother, father, mother, uncle...
Sheng Xuan is here to apologize to you...
The next moment, he lost consciousness.
"Young Master?!"
Many passers-by gathered around. Cheng Yao was afraid of being recognized by someone, so he could only quickly help him put on the veil hat and trot away from the crowd with Cheng Shengxuan on his back.
As the night grew darker, in order to hide from the public, they stayed in abandoned temples or deserted houses during these days.
After finding a dilapidated temple outside the city, Cheng Yao simply spread some hay and put Cheng Shengxuan down.
"Major General, please wait here for a moment. I will go find a doctor and get you some medicine."
He wiped his red eyes, stood up and was about to go out, when suddenly his ears moved slightly. He turned his head sharply to look at the half-open door, and silently clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Someone is coming!
The person coming has martial arts skills!
Just as he was about to take Cheng Shengxuan away from the window, he heard a muffled and familiar voice.
"There's someone inside, let's go somewhere else."
Cheng Yao quickly ran over to open the door, and when he saw a familiar person, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Finally found the organization!
"Miss!"
Cheng Qiuyun turned around suddenly.
"Cheng Yao?"
Then she asked anxiously.
"Where's Shengxuan?!"
…
Capital city, Sun Mansion.
In the study, Minister Sun and Minister Meng sat opposite each other, both with frowned brows and worried looks on their faces.
It's interesting to say.
The two of them were of similar age, but Minister Meng's daughter married Marquis Pingnan, and Minister Meng's granddaughter married Minister Sun's grandson.
Minister Sun poured two cups of tea and handed one to Minister Meng.
"The Emperor has issued an order to have General Zhou take over the Cheng Family Army. What do you think about this?"
Minister Meng took the teacup.
"General Zhou is devoted to the country, which is good news."
Then he frowned and thought.
"I don't think this matter is that simple. I always feel like there is a hand pushing me from behind."
Minister Sun lowered his eyes and thought.
Yes, he also thought that this might be done by Old Madam Cheng, but they are thousands of miles apart and there is simply not enough time.
As for Qiu Yun, given her personality, she would never abandon Madam Cheng and go to the border alone.
Suddenly, they both looked up at the same time.
"Is it possible?"
The two nodded slightly, exchanged glances, and tacitly stopped talking about the matter.
Minister Sun looked heavy-hearted.
"The people I sent out reported that they encountered many assassinations along the way."
Hearing this, Minister Meng's hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and the tea in the cup spilled all over his hands. He took a deep breath, but his voice was still trembling.
"Don't we all understand? That person didn't intend for them to reach the Northern Wasteland alive."
Minister Sun continued.
"But apart from the escort, there were no casualties among the Cheng family."
Minister Meng's tone was excited.
"Is there someone helping us secretly? Since we have survived all the hardships along the way, why is it that when we arrived in the Northern Wasteland..."
Minister Sun gave him a deep look.
"The Cheng family will never be caught so easily."
Minister Meng drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then nodded slowly.
"So, we can't retreat yet."
They also have to stay in the court to help negotiate.
And in the capital city late at night, inside the Imperial Master's Mansion.
A person wearing a black cloak with gold thread outline came into a room under the guidance of a little Taoist boy.
As soon as the door opened, a burnt odor mixed with the bitter smell of medicine hit me in the face, and the smell made me feel suffocated.
The cloaked man covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, walked into the room, and looked at the figure behind the screen.
"Did you spread the news about the Cheng family?"
Hearing his words, the imperial teacher behind the screen opened his eyes, moved his lips, and made a hoarse and unpleasant sound.
"Not me."
The cloaked man chuckled.
"Besides you, who else would want chaos in Dayin?"
The Imperial Master was already in a bad mood due to the pain in his body, and now hearing his obvious suspicion and questioning, he became even more upset.
"I told you it wasn't me, and there's no need for me to lie. If the prince doesn't believe me, we can just break up and cancel our cooperation!"
Hearing this, the prince's tone softened a lot.
"Don't blame me, Imperial Master. I was just in a hurry and said something I didn't think right."
"I am really worried. If things really get chaotic, not to mention the three uncles outside the capital, my good elder brother has never been a pushover. The throne may not necessarily fall to me."
The Imperial Master was silent for a long time.
"Your Highness, please go back."
The door was closed again, and the Imperial Master sneered at the door through the screen.
"Even if those people weren't there, it wouldn't be your turn."
Then his brows furrowed and his eyes became gloomy.
"Who is it?"
…
Inside the ruined temple.
Cheng Yao reached out his hand to feel the temperature of Cheng Shengxuan's forehead, then turned to look at Cheng Qiuyun in surprise.
"Miss, the medicine you brought is truly a miracle drug. It's only been half an hour and the young general's fever has gone down!"
Holding the purse containing the medicine in her hand, Cheng Qiuyun recalled the scene when Yu An handed the medicine to her on the day she left Beihuang City.
The little kid, in a baby voice, told her seriously the dosage, usage and efficacy of each medicine.
He even insisted on asking her to write it down on paper before he would feel at ease.
The little guy could recognize very few words, so he ran to his grandmother for help checking.
Thinking of that scene, Cheng Qiuyun smiled warmly.
When her eyes fell on the unconscious Cheng Shengxuan, her brows were instantly filled with worry.
"The remaining poison has been eliminated, and the fever has subsided, so why hasn't he woken up yet?"
And Cheng Shengxuan, who was in a coma, came to a magical place.
He stood in front of a huge piece of glass in amazement.
Looking at the people coming and going below, the straight and smooth road in the distance, the iron box moving fast on it, and the red, green and yellow lights...
Looking down again, he was standing at least twenty or thirty feet away from the ground!
"So high!"
He subconsciously took a step back, his attention drawn to the bright room.
"It is clearly night, but it is as bright as day."
He looked up at the roof and wondered again.
"How can there be such a dazzling crystal flower in the world?"
Suddenly, he looked somewhere warily and pointed in that direction.
"Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?!"
However, the person opposite him actually made the same movements and expressions as him.
"Playing tricks!"
He was about to draw his sword, but he didn't have it with him.
He walked slowly and cautiously, and when he got closer, he realized that this was not a person who looked exactly like him,
but a mirror that was more than a person's height.
He reached out to touch the mirror, but found nothing and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's amazing how detailed it is."
Suddenly, a door opened and a woman walked out.
Anlu had just finished taking a shower and came out in her nightgown.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Shengxuan's face suddenly turned red.
His eyes were nervous and he looked away, and his speech was halting.
"You, who are you from? How can you be so disheveled and appear in front of a strange man?"
"you..."
But the next moment, he saw the woman approaching step by step, getting closer and closer to him, getting older and closer...
Although he was a martial arts expert, he kept retreating.
"You, don't, don't come over here!"
Finally, he watched helplessly as the woman passed through him.
He looked at himself, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It seems that the girl can't see me, so, am I the ghost in the legend now?"
After seeing Anluo's face clearly, he exclaimed.
"Why is it her?!"
