Chapter 757 Su Wuming 56
Chapter 757 Su Wuming 56
He didn't believe in ghosts before, but Huan'er's appearance... Although he was well-read, he had only seen some records in ancient books and had never seen it with his own eyes.
"Su Wuming, you don't really believe that there are ghosts in this world, do you?" Lu Lingfeng looked at Su Wuming with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.
"You are Di Renjie's last disciple, yet you are such a coward!"
Su Wuming ignored Lu Lingfeng, only glanced at him calmly, and said: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. It is always better to be cautious."
"Hmph, I think you are scared by Liu Shiba's ghost story!" Lu Lingfeng curled his lips in disdain.
“I want to see what kind of ghosts will appear tonight!” As he said this, he swaggered down on the floor, looking fearless.
Chu Hua watched the two bickering and couldn't help but find it a little funny. She walked over to Su Wuming, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Su Wuming, ignore him, he is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, he is also scared to death, but he just won't admit it."
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua who was so close to him, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Chu Huan was about to fall asleep when she heard a "creak" and the door opened. She sat up immediately, all her sleepiness gone, her heart pounding.
A light sound of footsteps came from afar and was particularly clear in the silent room.
The wooden door creaked softly and was slowly pushed open. In the dim candlelight, Chu Hua saw Lu Lingfeng appear at the door.
"Hey, who are you talking to outside?" Su Wuming's voice was a little sleepy.
"Who else could it be? Liu Shiba."
Su Wuming: "Hmm?"
"I caught you eavesdropping on our conversation, and you're trying to save yourself by being so servile!"
Su Wuming sighed helplessly, rubbed his brows, and whispered to Lu Lingfeng to go to bed quickly. Then, he turned around and walked to his bag, bent down and searched for a while, and took out a clean piece of clothing from it.
He walked gently to Chu Hua, spread out his clothes and covered her with them.
After doing all this, he returned to his bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. The moonlight came in through the window lattice, shining on Chu Hua's peaceful sleeping face, and Su Wuming felt a softness in his heart.
In the middle of the night, a noisy sound of horse hooves and human voices woke Lu Lingfeng from his sleep. He stood up alertly, walked to the window, and saw a group of people coming outside the post station in the faint moonlight.
The leader was riding a tall horse, wearing armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and looked like a captain.
Lu Lingfeng was wondering when he suddenly saw a familiar figure - Miss Xijun. She was being held in the middle of the team, her face full of fear and helplessness.
Lu Lingfeng rubbed his sleepy eyes to make sure he was not seeing things - Pei Xijun was tied up, gagged, and held by two soldiers.
Seeing Xijun being pushed into the wing room by the leading captain, Lu Lingfeng was extremely anxious. He immediately pulled out the dagger hidden in his boot, leaped to the window in a few steps, and swiftly turned over and sneaked into the room.
After the captain left, Xijun staggered to the door and reached for the bolt with trembling hands. She pulled hard a few times, but found that the door was locked from the outside and could not be opened.
Just when she was extremely anxious, Lu Lingfeng's figure flashed out from the shadows in the corner of the room, startling her.
"Lu Lingfeng?!"
……
Su Wuming felt himself trapped in a state of chaos, his body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, and he could not open his eyelids. He struggled hard to break free from this bondage, but found that he could not move.
There were vague whispers in my ears, like someone whispering, or like a ghost wailing in my ears.
He was in a thick fog, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He wanted to shout, but no sound came out. He could only struggle in vain in the silence.
Su Wuming sat up suddenly, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
He gasped for breath, the suffocating feeling in his dream still lingered. He subconsciously looked at the couch, and although he kept a distance, he still saw Chu Hua was also awakened by his movement, looking at him with sleepy eyes.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Chu Huan was awakened by him and asked sleepily, her voice a little hoarse and full of sleepiness.
Su Wuming coughed awkwardly: "Well, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Chu Hua yawned and rubbed her eyes. In the dim candlelight, she saw the fear on Su Wuming's face. She sat up and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Do you want some water?"
Su Wuming shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little... flustered."
Chu Hua stood up and poured him a glass of water: "Drink some water to calm your nerves."
Su Wuming took the cup and drank it all. He looked at Chu Hua in front of him. The dim candlelight reflected on her face, making her look particularly gentle. He suddenly remembered the suffocating fear in his dream, and then looked at Chu Hua in front of him, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in his heart.
"Why are you sweating so much?" Chu Hua reached out and touched Su Wuming's forehead, which was burning hot. Her fingertips shrank back as if she had received an electric shock, but she couldn't help but gently stroke his cheek, feeling the strange temperature.
Su Wuming's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look directly into Chu Hua's concerned gaze.
"Maybe... it was a nightmare." He turned his head away uncomfortably. The feeling of suffocation in the dream still made him feel scared.
"What kind of dream was it that scared you so much?" Chu Hua asked, with a barely perceptible hint of ridicule in her tone.
"Where is Lu Lingfeng?" Su Wuming glanced at the empty seat next to him and suddenly realized that something was missing, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
Chu Hua rubbed her eyes and answered sleepily, "I don't know, maybe she went to the toilet?"
Su Wuming felt more and more uneasy. He threw back the quilt and hurried out of bed: "I'll go take a look."
Chu Hua rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily, "Wait for me."
She walked to Su Wuming in her slippers and tugged at his sleeve, like a confused kitten rubbing against its owner's legs. Su Wuming looked down at her, and the inexplicable anxiety in his heart was eased a little by her unconscious intimate behavior.
As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw a strange carriage and several horses parked in the yard, and the horses were snorting nervously.
"This..." Chu Huan rubbed her eyes, and her sleepiness dissipated a little.
"Who is coming so late?"
Su Wuming saw Liu Shiba collecting firewood and asked him, "Have you seen my private soldier?"
Liu Shiba shook his head.
"Who is in this main hall?"
Liu Shiba: "A captain who guards the capital."
"Oh. My private was also a general before he joined the army. Maybe he drank with them."
As Su Wuming spoke, he took Chu Hua and pushed open the door of the main hall. A strong smell of alcohol hit Chu Hua in the face, almost making her stumble.
Su Wuming quickly scanned the main hall, but did not see Lu Lingfeng. He was about to take Chu Hua away from this smoky drinking party, but when he turned around, he heard the captain's rough voice behind him: "Who are you?!"
"I am Su Wuming, the new Sima of Nanzhou." Su Wuming's tone was calm, with a hint of majesty without even getting angry.
"A Sima of a lower state is not worth mentioning!"
His eyes swept over Su Wuming and were soon attracted by Chu Hua. To be more precise, he was attracted by Chu Hua's beautiful face, which could not be concealed even in the dim candlelight.
Those eyes, as if with hooks, were firmly glued to Chu Huan, looking at her greedily.
The captain's eyes slid from Chu Hua's face to her neck, and then all the way down, greedily describing her exquisite figure. Chu Hua was wearing a light green skirt today, and in the dim candlelight, her skin looked even more whiter than snow and as delicate as a baby's.
Su Wuming calmly pulled Chu Hua behind him, blocking the captain's obscene gaze. An unknown fire rose in his heart.
"This young lady is..." The captain rubbed his hands with lustful eyes, his gaze lingering on Chu Huan, as if he wanted to strip her naked.
"My wife." Su Wuming spoke word by word with a firm tone, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, and protected Chu Huan behind him.
Chu Huan widened her eyes and looked at Su Wuming in disbelief.
Madam?! He actually said she was his madam?! This sudden "official announcement" made her unable to react for a while.
The captain was obviously also shocked by Su Wuming's words. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter full of contempt and ridicule: "Madam? Sima Su, are you joking? This little girl looks like an unmarried girl, how could she be your wife? Could it be that Master Su is afraid of us and deliberately found an excuse?"
Su Wuming's face darkened: "I, Su Wuming, never lie. This girl is my first wife."
Chu Hua laughed inwardly. First wife? They had never even tied the knot. However, she really appreciated the way Su Wuming defended her at the moment. He was such a man!
She decided to cooperate with Su Wuming and continued acting, so she gently pulled Su Wuming's sleeve and called out tenderly, "Husband..."
The word "husband" made Su Wuming's whole body stiffen, as if he was hit by an electric current, and the numbness spread from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He could even feel his ears heating up rapidly, and a heat rushed straight to his forehead.
He secretly glanced at Chu Hua out of the corner of his eye, and saw that she was looking at him with a sweet smile, her eyes moving and her look bright and beautiful.
That look seemed to have a hook, making him itch unbearably.
The captain obviously didn't believe it. He pointed at Chu Hua and said to Su Wuming, "Su Wuming, do you think we are fools? This girl is so young and beautiful, how could she be your wife? I think he must have kidnapped her. Someone, come and rescue this girl!"
