This villain has become a ghost

"General, you are really amazing."

Yue Liuyun said softly.

"You too," Song Zhiyi cleared the dead branches in front of him, looked back with a smile, and said seriously, "I heard from the Concubine Xian that you are going to take the imperial examination. This is remarkable."

"Thank you." She arched her eyebrows.

At this moment, Yue Liuyun suddenly felt very fortunate to have come to this world and meet so many vivid, real, flesh-and-blood characters.

All the things she had seen and felt on paper in the past became reality. Everyone's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were so clear that they left a deep impression on her heart.

After walking around a large area of wasteland and onto a narrow path, Song Zhiyi accompanied Yue Liuyun, stopping and walking, and finally they reached the top of the mountain.

The scenery is not particularly picturesque, but it is getting late and the weather is getting cooler. The mountains are undulating and look as beautiful as brocade. When the breeze blows, you can faintly hear the rustling of grass and trees.

Yue Liuyun was so tired that he was almost exhausted. His legs were weak and sweat got into his eyes. His vision was blurry and he was saved from falling down by the support of Song Zhiyi.

She pursed her dry lips and shook the water bag, but there was not a drop of water left in it.

"The wind is strong on the mountain, let's find a place to rest." Song Zhiyi said, looking around.

After saying that, she took Yue Liuyun to a huge rock that provided shelter from the wind.

Yue Liuyun sat down against a rock, took off the sandbag, and rubbed his sore calves weakly, feeling too heavy to move.

Sweat wet her palms and the wound felt dull pain. Song Zhiyi found some spring water to wash it for her and then bandaged it with a clean handkerchief.

Just as the two were resting, a figure suddenly appeared hurriedly on the path not far away.

The man was a sturdy man with dark skin, short, uneven hair, and a wild look. He had a beard, deep eyes, and was wearing a black robe. He ran over hurriedly.

Song Zhiyi recognized him and asked, "Coach Han?"

"Your humble servant pays respect to Lord Wu'an Marquis."

Obviously, Coach Han had not expected Song Zhiyi to appear here. He immediately put away the list in his hand, clasped his fists in salute, and then turned his gaze to Yue Liuyun, asking in confusion:

"...Who is this lady?"

Song Zhiyi said, "She is my friend and also General Qiming's cousin."

"So that's how it is." Coach Han suddenly realized, then bowed to Yue Liuyun, and looked at her a few more times without noticing, as if thinking about something.

Song Zhiyi asked, "Is Coach Han going down the mountain?"

Coach Han frowned and replied, "I checked the roster and found that seven soldiers are missing. I am trying to find them."

Missing?

In this case, he was either hiding to avoid training, or something unexpected had happened. Regardless, as the head coach, it was his duty to investigate.

"If there is nothing important, I will take my leave first." Coach Han saluted again.

He turned and left, but had only taken a few steps when he heard a bird startled in the distant woods, uttering a faint scream, and the sound of the bird being carried by the wind through the treetops.

Yue Liuyun was shocked and quickly stood up with his tired body.

Judging from the situation, the second possibility was more likely. As a general, Song Zhiyi couldn't just ignore such a matter.

"Wait a minute," Song Zhiyi's expression was indeed slightly stern. He immediately stopped Coach Han and said seriously, "...something must have happened. We will go with you to look for it."

Coach Han stopped, was stunned for a moment, turned back and nodded:

"……it is good."

The three of them rushed towards the direction where the sound came from. After crossing the top of the mountain, the sun was getting lower and lower. Gradually, a very faint smell of blood came.

Yue Liuyun suddenly became alert.

Song Zhiyi pulled Yue Liuyun and walked in front, and Coach Han looked back from time to time to see if there was any danger.

The further they walked, the stronger and more pungent the sickening smell of blood became. When they got closer, they saw a soldier lying pale in a pool of blood, his eyes closed and his body stiff, clearly no longer breathing.

Song Zhiyi squatted down and examined the soldier's body. He found that his body was covered with hideous wounds. Blood was constantly oozing from these wounds, gathering into a shocking pool of blood, as if he had been attacked by a wild beast.

"This mountain should be very safe and there should be no wild animals. How could they..." Song Zhiyi was slightly surprised and said solemnly.

Yue Liuyun concentrated and said, "There is only one corpse here, where are the other soldiers?"

"It is very likely that they encountered danger and fled in different directions." Song Zhiyi said.

"Keep looking."

"it is good."

The two men's eyes left the corpse.

"Wait," Yue Liuyun suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing. He looked around and asked in confusion, "Where is Coach Han?"

Coach Han, who was originally following the two of them, suddenly disappeared. No matter how the two of them shouted, he did not appear. He disappeared without anyone noticing.

Yue Liuyun suddenly felt suspicious and felt something was wrong, and his sense of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

"he……"

As she was speaking, Yue Liuyun suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing. Her heart tightened and she immediately turned around to look. However, there was no one behind her, only the rustling sound of leaves in the wind.

"Be careful!" Song Zhiyi suddenly shouted, and at the same time reached out to pull Yue Liuyun aside.

Suddenly, a dark shadow leaped out from the woods like lightning, rushing straight towards the two of them. Song Zhiyi pulled Yue Liuyun to the side to avoid it, then picked up his spear and stabbed the dark shadow.

Yue Liuyun looked closely and found that the black shadow was actually a huge black leopard. It was extremely fast and pounced towards the two of them with its bloody mouth wide open!

-

The sun sets in the west, and the rosy glow dyes the clouds in the sky. The mountain on this side looks particularly gloomy because it is facing away from the sun. The tall and overgrown trees block out the sun.

Coach Han had a blank expression on his face as he hurriedly walked through the crowd, heading straight down the mountain, a sneer gradually forming on the corners of his mouth.

"Marquis Wu'an, please don't blame me. It's you who happened to be here, and you happened to want to meddle in other people's business. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't survive the attacks of so many ferocious beasts he released."

Suddenly, a strong murderous intent came over him. Coach Han reacted very quickly, dodging the sword light by turning sideways, pulling out his own sword from his waist, and staring at the person who was blocking his way.

Feng Ning didn't say much, but displayed all his killing moves, and the fierce moves directly took his life.

Coach Han smiled coldly, and the sword was as sharp as ever. He took the opportunity to feint a sword, and when Feng Ning dodged, he leaped up and fled into the distance.

Feng Ning immediately caught up with him, blocked his way, and said with concentration:

"Master Han, you are such a skilled martial artist, how come you are still a master?"

Coach Han's expression flickered.

Feng Ning frowned and asked:

"Who...are you?"
