The room was lit by a candle. Shu Sunmou stopped in his tracks and calmed his breathing before knocking on the door solemnly. "My lord, my lord."
However, no sound came out of the room. According to the usual practice, as long as he heard the call, Lord Nan Gong would have already let him in with a loud voice.
Shu Sunmou suddenly had an ominous feeling. He wanted to leave after reincarnation, but he gritted his teeth and gently pushed open the door.
As the door opened, an unbelievable scene appeared before their eyes.
The candlelight swayed with the breeze, and there were many ghosts. A man in a chief official's robe floated in the air in an unbelievable way. His face was ferocious, and he died with his eyes wide open.
On the snow-white wall behind him, a large bloody word was written:
In the middle of the night, half of Xin Zheng was awakened by a scream that was not made by a human.
Dawn had finally arrived, but the sky was terrifyingly gloomy. Everyone's hearts seemed to have been stuffed with a straw. Annoyance and fear filled Xinzheng.
This was already the fifth judge to be killed by the ghost soldiers.
The exquisite decorations in the palace seemed to have lost their color and appeared unusually dark. However, none of this could compare to the gloomy expression on King Hui of Han's face.
A gloomy atmosphere pervaded the hall. Prince Hui of Han had not spoken for a long time. He just sat on the throne in a daze, staring at Wenshan on the table.
The confirmation of Bai Qi's inheritance made him believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. Nangong Cuo's death also made him feel an inexplicable fear.
He stood at the foot of the steps, stretching his numb legs slightly. He did not even dare to breathe heavily.
Ji Wuye, who was standing opposite him, had an extremely annoying and depressing expression on his face as usual.
She opened her eyes and looked at him."Great General, what are you thinking?”He suddenly thought of something and felt a chill in his heart. But at this moment, Prince Han Hui spoke.
"Nangong Cuo really died to the nether soldiers.”
Zhang Kai took a deep breath and calmed his mind before cupping his fists."Your Majesty, this lowly subject received the news and immediately rushed to the government office. Nangong Cuo's body is floating in the air in a strange manner. However, the moment he touched it, he fell to the ground. It was as if there was an invisible rope hanging him. In my opinion, this was not something that could be done by human strength.”
" What?" King Hui of Han gasped." How is that possible?"”
Zhang Kedi frowned and said," I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought about it. That's why I asked the coroner to examine Nangong Cuo's body in detail. However, what was even more puzzling was that there was not a single wound on Nangong Cuo's body. Even his internal organs showed no signs of being poisoned. I changed five coroners in a row, but they still couldn't find the cause of Nangong Cuo's death.”
King Hui of Han looked up at the exquisitely carved dome for a while. It seemed that there was an invisible rope hanging down from it, waiting for him to put it around his neck.
"Five referees died in a row, and each of them died in a bizarre way. Could it be?"
King Hui of Han lowered his head and looked at Ji Wuye, who was silent.""Is this really the work of the Yin soldiers?"
Hearing the subtle change in his tone, the king became suspicious.
"Your Majesty, the place where the army's pay was robbed is Soul Break Valley.”Ji Wuye cupped his fists.
"Could it be that the Great General who killed Wuji also believes in ghosts and gods?" King Hui of Han suddenly looked at him.”
Ji Wuye chuckled." You can't bully ghosts and gods, but you can trust ghost soldiers. They are vengeful souls who don't want to die. They don't go to hell after death but only for revenge. Only after the death of their enemies can their endless resentment be appeased.
Moreover, in the eyes of the ghosts and gods, the world is the same, regardless of the nobility and generals."
Before he could continue, Prince Han Hui's face was already pale.""Could it be that the Great General is already certain that they are the Yin soldiers of the State of Zheng and have come for revenge?”
Ji Wuye smiled sinisterly.""To be honest, they can't be blamed for this. A hundred years ago, the Ai Marquis seized Xinzheng as the capital of Korea. It was a great undertaking to expand the territory, but he shouldn't have ordered the troops of the State of Zheng to be killed in the Soul Break Valley.”
" Oh, Ancestor!" King Hui of Han said bitterly." It's fine if you took the city, but why did you do such a ruthless thing?"”
"If it weren't for the revenge of the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng, there would be no way to explain this series of strange events," Ji Wuye said in a deep voice. There were no clues about the death of each of the judges, and their deaths were extremely miserable.”
Seeing that Prince Han Hui's body was starting to tremble, he quickly said,""Your Majesty, this is nonsense. We need to be cautious about ghosts and gods.”
"Prime minister, how do you explain that bloody word?”
Zhang Kedi was stunned and tongue-tied. If this kind of thing could be explained, the case would be solved.
"The word 'return' should mean to repay a debt. What Korea owes is a debt of blood, and I'm afraid it can only be repaid with blood.”Ji Wuye said aggressively.
Before he could finish his words, Prince Han Hui was already sweating.
" Great General," Zhang Kaidi said angrily," the king of a country is blessed by the heavens. Before the case is concluded, what are you trying to do by saying such hurtful words?"”
"I'm just stating the facts to Your Majesty." Ji Wuye smiled sinisterly.”
Prince Han Hui turned to look at Han Fu, who was standing beside him, and felt a little better. "Zhang Kai Di, the five judges who died were all your subordinates. What do you think of this case?"”
"I think we need to send capable generals to continue the investigation.”
" Five have died," Ji Wuye sneered." I wonder who you want to harm this time, Prime Minister."”
Prince Hui of Han snorted angrily." Great General, watch your words. Even if it is really caused by the ghost soldiers, we need to investigate it clearly. I want to see if it is the revenge of the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng."”
"Since the king has made up his mind." Ji Wuye ignored Prince Han Hui's expression and said,""I have the best candidate. If he goes out personally, he will definitely be able to find out the truth.”
"Who is it?" King Hui of Han was delighted and said urgently.
Ji Wuye turned around slowly and looked at Zhang Kai with a neutral expression.""It's far away and right in front of us."
