The next day, in the quiet Imperial Residence.
"I heard that Third Royal Uncle is good at health preservation and developed a Dragon Bone Eight Treasures Soup. It's a nourishing sacred product. It was not easy to make this soup. Apart from gathering rare ingredients, it had to be stewed for a full 12 hours before it could be drunk. I wonder how effective this soup is?"
Han Fei asked calmly as he paced with his hands behind his back.
"That day when the ghost soldiers appeared, the scene was so terrifying. I can only sleep well after I go back to the residence and drink this soup.”Lord Anping said as if he had just survived a disaster.
Han Fei grinned." Such a wonderful soup. Can you make more and share it with me?"”
"This is a little difficult." Lord Anping explained," This soup must be drunk on the day after it is boiled. It will have no effect the next day.”
"I see!" Han Fei nodded slowly.
Lord Anping seemed to have reacted." You guys aren't here just to ask about health, are you?”
As he spoke, Lord Anping carefully glanced at Marquis An Le, who seemed to be dozing off.
The young man seemed to have experienced something last night, and he looked a little tired and confused.
Han Fei immediately cupped his hands and said," Uncle Wang is wise. I want to hear the story of the ghost soldiers robbing the army.”
"Ghost soldiers!" Lord Anping's face turned slightly pale, and he immediately sank into his memories.
"That night, the wind and rain were mixed. The ghost soldier on the battlefield was stabbed by an arrow but was not injured. The other ghost soldier raised his finger and pointed at the salary. The salary gradually disappeared."
" The gold disappeared in the rain just like that…" Lord Longquan, who suddenly spoke, gritted his teeth and looked helpless.
Han Fei deliberately asked," Where did the ghost soldiers appear?”
Lord Anping quickly said," Soul Break Valley!”
At this moment, Zhang Liang explained," Back then, when the Han Kingdom defeated the Zheng Kingdom, Marquis Ai of Han promised that anyone who surrendered would be spared from death. In the end, he lured the 5,000 surrendered soldiers of the State of Zheng to Xinzheng City and killed them all. It was extremely cruel. This is how this place got its name."
"It is said that these dead souls have died with grievances and are here to collect their debts! Otherwise, how could the gold disappear into thin air? "Lord Anping said excitedly.
Han Fei looked at the two uncles who were nervous about each other." I found some gold at the crime scene. Why don't you try it?"”
When the servant brought the water, Zhang Liang handed over the candle.
Han Fei also took out a piece of broken gold that the Marquis had asked the person named Purple Girl to give him last night.
When these gold pieces fell into the water, they immediately disappeared, and the small flame in Zhang Liang's hand also exploded into sparks.
"The five elements, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal. This piece of gold actually went against the laws of the five elements. It melts when it meets water and burns when it meets fire. It's really inconceivable."
Speaking of this, the smile in Han Fei's eyes became more obvious." And Uncle Wang can foresee it. It's really amazing.”
Hearing this, the two royal uncles looked at each other as if they could see the nervousness in each other's eyes.
Han Fei immediately said," Uncles, have you heard of the Water Dissipating Gold?”
"No." Two days ago, he hurriedly shook his head in panic.
"The surface of the Water Dissipating Gold looks like ordinary gold, but if it comes into contact with water, it will melt into nothingness. Uncle Wang thought that it was possible that the person who disappeared in the rain that night was actually-"
"Water Dispels Metal!" Han Fei finally said firmly.
Lord Longquan quickly said," We just met the ghost soldiers to collect a debt. We don't know anything else!”
Both of them were the only survivors of the ghost soldiers 'pay case.
At this moment, a young man's voice suddenly sounded." Enough!”
Han Fei hurriedly lowered his head and took a few steps back, as if he was waiting for a good show.
Everyone's eyes were on Marquis An Le at this moment.
As if he couldn't be bothered to listen to these boring nonsense, Chu He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two princes as he said in a deep voice,
"Dragon Bone Eight Treasures Soup."
"My soup?" Lord Anping looked somewhat puzzled.
"Just now you said that this soup is complicated to cook and needs 12 hours to be made?”Chu He slowly stood up and walked to the other party.
"That's right." Lord Anping lowered his head and said, not daring to look directly into the former's eyes.
He had naturally heard about the things that happened to Marquis An Le in the palace, especially the night of King Han's birthday that caused a storm in the city. Almost the entire country was discussing this person.
"On the night of the crime, you returned to the residence and drank a bowl of Dragon Bone Eight Treasures Soup.”Chu He said calmly.
"What's wrong?" Lord Anping endured the other party's questioning tone, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"That is to say, if you want to drink this soup that night, you will have to drink it. He couldn't wait for his highness to return to the fu to cook, he had to start preparing early in the morning.”
"What is Lord Marquis trying to say?”Lord Anping said coldly, somewhat displeased.
They were all nobles of the same country. He was now in Han Country, and he was the third brother of the King of Han. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Chu He looked at the other party calmly and said," It will take at least three days and three nights to escort the military pay.”
"Here comes the question. Why did the chef of the prince's mansion prepare this Dragon Bone Eight Treasures Soup for you, who will only return three days later?”
" This…" Lord Anping seemed to have understood something, and his expression revealed a look of panic.
The situation was already clear. Chu He slowly spread his arms and said,
"Could it be that your highness already knew that the military pay would be robbed 12 hours ago and that you would be able to return that night?”
"Ah!" Lord Anping's pupils dilated slightly, and he was at a loss as to how to answer.
Even Lord Longquan, who was beside him, frowned and sighed helplessly.
"Men, detain the two princes and release them after the truth is found!”
Han Fei shouted at the right time. When he and Chu He looked at each other, he couldn't help but smile.
The young man shook his head casually and immediately returned home.
Han Fei, do you think I'll praise you?
