On the small road from Xinzheng to Soul Break Valley, Han Country's Lord Anping and Lord Longquan were sitting in a bamboo house. There were many beautiful concubines around them. When they saw that it was already past noon, they got up to look at the sky. They looked at each other for some reason and put down their hands.
He had a beautiful concubine and wine by his side, and he was ready to lead an army to escort important supplies.
Lord Anping summoned his trusted soldiers and said," Send a message down. The transportation is urgent. March through the night in the rain. It is forbidden to light torches to prevent thieves.”
Although the bodyguard felt that it was a little strange, he still passed down the order.
The sky was getting dark. Lord Anping was in the middle of the army, carefully marching forward. Suddenly, a man galloped over from afar. He dismounted and saluted, shouting," Report! Soul Break Valley is ten miles ahead!" He killed the surrendered soldiers of the State of Zheng back then…"
"Shut up!" Lord Longquan shouted, interrupting the scout. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone lighting a torch because it was dark. He hurriedly ordered," Extinguish the torch! The entire army continued to move forward. No open flames were allowed to illuminate the area.”
" This..." The imperial guards looked at each other speechlessly. After all, it was getting late, and it would be difficult not to use torches. However, it was the commander's order after all, and they could not disobey it. Therefore, they extinguished their torches and continued to march forward.
At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky. After a flash of light, the sky suddenly darkened with the heavy rain. The air was filled with a strange and ominous feeling.
"Ghost…Ghost!" A scream suddenly came from the front of the army. A soldier widened his eyes and pointed at the sky with a horrified expression. Everyone looked up and saw the Soul Break Valley in front of them. Black shadows floated in the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were the standard armor of the State of Zheng. However, the ones wearing the armor were not soldiers of the State of Zheng, but legless souls with strange red eyes!
Under the curtain of rain, ghost soldiers floated in the air, their eyes emitting clusters of blue ghost fire, looking extremely terrifying. Under the burning ghost fire, the long spears in their hands flickered with an ice-cold sharpness.
A muffled sound came from the rain, as if a ghost was crying, triggering the deepest fear in the hearts of the people. All the soldiers were trembling. Facing the ghost soldiers, they almost did not have the courage to fight.
Lord Longquan and Lord Anping were also very frightened at this moment. The warhorses under them kicked the ground uneasily and wanted to retreat.
"Release the arrows!"
A commander who was guarding the army's pay shouted loudly, trying to drive away the fear in his heart. Fortunately, although these soldiers were afraid, they still obeyed the order, or it was a natural reaction under extreme fear.
The arrow flew out with a whoosh!
Countless arrows were shot at the ghost soldiers in the rain. However, something even more terrifying happened. Their arrows pierced through the bodies of the ghost soldiers, but in the next moment, the places that were pierced by the arrows healed again.
These ghost soldiers gathered together and flew towards them.
This scene scared the soldiers into shouting. The scene of the crossbow bolts directly passing through the ghost soldiers had completely frightened them, making it difficult for them to pick up their weapons and fight the ghost soldiers in close combat!
However, the military pay was in the car, so they did not dare to leave easily.
At this moment, a ghost soldier pointed at the salary on the carriage with one hand. Then, something even more shocking happened. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the salary that the ghost soldier pointed at gradually melted and disappeared.
" The... the military pay is gone..." A commander looked at the disappearing military pay and was completely stunned.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, as the military pay disappeared, all the Han soldiers ran towards Xin Zheng City. They no longer cared about the so-called military pay. The methods of the ghost soldiers had already frightened them, and they did not dare to have any courage to resist.
Lord Anping and Lord Longquan did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy carrying the military pay was empty. With the disappearance of the soldiers of Xinzheng, the ghost soldiers also gradually disappeared in the rain.
……
A few days later, in the Han court.
" Pa…" Han Wangan furiously slapped the armrest of his throne.
"Hmph, you guys don't even know. I really don't know what you're doing. This is a hundred thousand gold taels. Do you know that this is a year's military expenditure for our frontline soldiers? If we lose this money now, how do you expect our soldiers to serve our Han Country?”
Sitting on the throne, Han Wangan cursed loudly. At the same time, his heart trembled.
The three ministers standing below looked anxious. Ji Wuye pretended to be innocent and felt the anger in Han Wangan's words. Lord Longquan and Lord Anping, who were kneeling below, trembled. They did not care about their sorry state and hurriedly said," Brother Wang, the ghost soldiers, the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng. They were right in front of us. The military pay disappeared in an instant. All the soldiers saw it.”
Hearing Lord Longquan and Lord Anping's words, Han Wangan, who was still a little angry, was shocked." It's really…really the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng who stole the military pay?”
"That is indeed the case. Otherwise, how could the two of us let the military pay disappear in front of us?”Lord Longquan affirmed.
"Humph, absurd. Zi Buyu is a supernatural being. How can there be so-called gods and ghosts? It must be your negligence that caused the army's pay to be stolen by unknown means.”An old man with white hair walked out from the left and said. This person was the elder of the three dynasties, the prime minister of Han, Zhang Kai Di.
"Is there anyone who can solve this case for this king? If anyone can do it, this king will reward them heavily!”
After a long time, Han Wangan finally listened to him, his expression filled with anger and helplessness.
To be honest, he was really aggrieved as a king. With Ji Wuye above him, his subordinates below him were all worrying about him.
"This subordinate can recommend a candidate for Your Majesty. I believe that he will definitely be able to solve the case and recover the 100,000 gold taels!”
Ji Wuye suddenly stood up and said confidently.
"Who is it? He actually has such ability?" Han Wangan was rather interested.
"Of course it's our Prime Minister, Lord Zhang. Lord Zhang is the elder of the three dynasties of Han Country. He is highly respected and has many connections. Moreover, Lord Zhang's talent is also extraordinary. I believe that as long as Lord Zhang Xiangguo takes action, this case will be solved very quickly!”Ji Wuye's eyes revealed a hint of craftiness as he said happily.
Zhang Kedi's expression changed drastically. He instantly thought of Ji Wuye's sinister intentions.
However, just as he was about to say something, Han Wangan seemed to have thought of something and said directly," That's right, Zhang Xiangguo is talented. I believe that Zhang Xiangguo will definitely be able to solve the case this time and recover the lost 100,000 taels of gold for our Han Country's soldiers! How about this, the military pay will be sent in a month. I will give you twenty days. Within twenty days, you must solve the case, or else you will be severely punished.”
Zhang Kedi hated Ji Wuye to death now. As soon as the court session ended, he hurriedly went to think of a way.
