The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

At this time, Hua Ye and Zuo Nian were in the most luxurious upper room in the best inn in Risu City.

The room is beautifully decorated and the bed is so soft and comfortable that you won't want to get up once you lie down on it.

Hua Ye fell asleep early in Xu Zhi's warm and generous arms.

In such a superior environment, Hua Ye slept soundly from day to night.

She slept so soundly and peacefully, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.

In this way, Hua Ye lay quietly until night fell and the dark night enveloped the earth.

Through the window, you can see that the sky outside is full of bright stars, like sparkling gems inlaid on the black sky.

Suddenly, without warning, a strange evil wind blew over. The wind was so strong that it rustled the leaves and swayed the branches.

As the evil wind blew, a thick black cloud slowly floated over, gradually covering half of the bright moonlight, and also covering up the stars that were twinkling with faint light.

At this quiet hour of the night, a strange sight appeared on the streets that should have been deserted.

A thick smoke emitting purple light appeared quietly like a ghost.

The thick smoke seemed to have its own consciousness and purpose. It looked around cautiously and its movements were extremely cautious.

Then, it began to shuttle back and forth between the narrow alleys, as if looking for a specific target.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the mysterious purple smoke found a suitable "prey" - a middle-aged man who was drunk and reeked of alcohol.

The man staggered and even found it difficult to stand. It was obvious that he had completely lost the ability to control himself.

Then, the purple smoke quickly drifted towards the drunken middle-aged man without hesitation...

The man walked into the corner of the alley and was about to fumble to untie his belt when he was entangled by the thick smoke with a black and purple light and dragged into the nearest dry well.

The silent night without a sound was really good for sleeping, but Hua Ye still slept very uneasy lying in Xu Zhi's arms.

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, but he suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Zhi, who had already noticed her discomfort, just opened and closed his eyes, and the oil lamps in the room lit up, illuminating the entire room.

"Master, why do I feel so unexplained? It seems the world is about to be in chaos..."

Hua Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and hid in Xu Zhi's arms, as if he could find a little peace of mind and strength from him.

"So what if the world is in chaos? I can protect you and your family. You can rest assured!"

Xuzhi hugged her tighter, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

When Hua Ye heard that there was food, his red eyes lit up. He sat up, jumped off the bed, and started to eat voraciously.

"After we finish eating, let's go to the barracks. I'm almost done with sleep!"

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost gone, Hua Ye wiped his mouth and hands, put on his clothes immediately, pulled Xu Zhi up with one hand, opened the window, and jumped down.

At this moment, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky actually emitted a chilling blood-red light, as if it had been stained with blood.

The military camp in Xingxiu City should have been peaceful and orderly, but now it was plunged into chaos and fire.

Flames shot up from the tents, illuminating the entire camp. The tents, once tightly encircled by the spell, were now shattered by the powerful force, shattering and scattering across the sand, stained with blood, a shocking sight.

Even worse, the camp was filled with puppets scurrying about in search of food, charging like mad beasts.

Some puppets accidentally bumped into the burning brazier, and the flames spread instantly, igniting more tents around.

The fire spread rapidly and turned into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers were in a panic. Some were busy trying to catch the out-of-control puppets, while others were desperately trying to put out the raging fire.

However, faced with such a sudden chaotic situation, they did not know how to deal with it for a moment.

Some people shouted loudly to direct everyone's actions, but their voices seemed particularly weak in the noisy environment; others ran blindly, trying to avoid the fire and the attacks of the puppets.

The entire military camp fell into unprecedented panic and chaos.

"Hurry, put out the fire..."

"Quick, someone come and lock these puppets in the dungeon. I'm afraid this tent can't stop them!"

Deputy General Lin was commanding all this while roaring in anger, but it seemed that this momentum was not enough to put an end to the riot.

Fortunately, Zuo Nian, who always slept lightly, woke up in time. He put on a layer of inner clothes and flew out of the tent.

He jumped into the air, quickly took out a brush, dotted it with cinnabar, and drew several talismans in a row. He just swept the brush forward lightly, and the talismans flew straight into the bodies of those manic puppets.

As soon as he stuck to the puppet, it stopped motionless. Zuo Nian flew down and moved freely between the puppets, applying cinnabar on their eyebrows. Then they stopped moving and roaring.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Lieutenant General Lin hurried over and thanked him repeatedly: "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Major General Zuo is really..."

"Deputy General Lin, tell your men not to touch the talismans and cinnabar on them, otherwise..."

Zuo Nian put the brush and cinnabar into his sleeve, interrupted Deputy General Lin's flattery, turned around and flew back to the tent.

Lieutenant General Lin scratched his head in confusion, and without saying anything else, he threw himself into directing the firefighting.

Zuo Nian entered the tent, covered his chest with his hands, and the next second a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The noise scared Mu Qi so much that he jumped up from the bed. In a daze, he helped the shaky Zuo Nian up and placed him on the bed.

"Someone...quickly call the military doctor..."
