In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 255 Ghost Soldiers

In the dark night, a group of soldiers of the Korean army were escorting the military pay.

Passing through Ghost Bing Valley, the surrounding atmosphere became gloomy.The soldiers of the Han army were well-trained. Although they were in the legendary ghost land, they did not show too much fear.

Green eyebrows stood on the cliff, looking at the crowd below, under the moonlight, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The fog in the valley gets deeper and fills the whole bottom of the valley.The green-browed figure jumped from top to bottom, with a graceful figure, but the moment it landed, it disappeared without a trace, and a cloud of mist erupted.

More than a dozen ghost soldiers emerged from the mist, their white bones covered with barren armor, their eyes burning with green fire, floating in the air like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

When the soldiers of the Han army noticed these ghost soldiers, they shouted in panic.

Fear made these well-trained soldiers behave worse than children at this moment.The spear in his hand was originally a tool for guards, but it trembled at the moment, completely forgetting how to use it.

There were also a few brave soldiers who wanted to fight the ghost soldier, but when their spears pierced the ghost soldier's hollow body, they were slaughtered instead.

Lessons learned from the past, the remaining soldiers did not dare to fight against them. They were a little more determined and still stuck to their posts.

Until the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, the moonlight rose again, the fog dissipated, and the ghost soldiers lost their traces. The hidden Korean soldiers showed their heads, but those soldiers who were still sticking to their posts in the chaos roared loudly.

"The military pay is gone!"

"The military pay is gone!"

Compared with the chaos before the arrival of the ghost soldiers, the soldiers of the Han army felt real fear at this time.

Lost military pay, the chief officer and soldiers who escorted the military pay will not escape the death penalty, and maybe it will harm their wives and children.

At this time, everyone thought of a reason, a reason that could exempt them from guilt.

"Ghost soldiers?"

In the Palace of the King of Han, when the King of Han heard the news, he was furious.

"Nonsense! How can there be ghost soldiers in this world?"

Confucius said: Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance.

King Han didn't know if there were ghosts in this world, but he understood that the soldiers of the Han army on the front line had to rebel if the [-] military salary was gone.

This is not a trivial matter, but a major event that shakes the foundation of South Korea.

Compared with ghosts, he still cares more about money.

"Third brother, fourth brother, you have really disappointed me. You must know the situation in South Korea at this time, and you should also know the importance of this batch of military salaries."

Mr. Longquan and Mr. Anping knelt on the cold floor, terrified.

"Brother Wang, forgive me!"

However, King Han's anger did not abate, and he complained.

"You usually always complain that the widow doesn't give you a chance to show your talents. So this time, the widow asked you to perform such an important task, but is this how you repay the widow?"

King Han's two brothers knelt down on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Say, what's going on?"

The princes are not as good as the emperor, no matter how weak they look on weekdays, but at this time, when King Han is angry, he still has the majesty of a king.

Mr. Longquan was thin and frightened, but his third brother's voice came from his ear.

"Brother Wang, forgive me, brother Wang! It was really ghost soldiers who robbed the Dao. All the soldiers saw it, and I dare not speak nonsense. The soldiers even whispered in private that we were the ones who killed the surrender of Zheng Guo. The army brought about today's disaster."

"Nonsense, Bai Qi killed 40 Zhao soldiers in Changping Pit, so there may be rumors of ghost soldiers in Qin."

King Han was really angry, so much so that he said something that he couldn't say as King Han.

"Your Majesty, I think there is indeed something abnormal about this matter, and we should send capable people in the court to investigate."

Just when King Han felt that what he had said was too much, Ji Wuye stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Look, General, who should be sent?"

"The two monarchs are members of the royal family, and the person who interrogates them should also be a person of high morals and prestige, so as to be able to convince the public. I think Mr. Xiangguo is the best candidate."

Zhang Kaidi also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but he did not expect that Ji Wuye would push this matter onto him.

I feel in my heart that there is a big hole in this matter, but in the current situation, it is not easy to refuse.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiangguo is very old. This case is too strange. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. I am willing to take over this task."

King Han looked at a young courtier among the courtiers.

"Nangong is wrong, are you sure?"

"You should do your best."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you!"

Han Wang broke up the court meeting, and a crowd surrounded Zhang Kaidi.

"Xiangguo, Ji Wuye asked you to investigate this case, what is the purpose?"

He touched his beard openly, and couldn't tell in his heart, so he finally looked at Nangong Cuo and ordered.

"This matter is very important, you must be careful."

"Students understand."

Ji Wuye didn't seem very happy when he returned to the mansion.

"This old man Zhang Kai, there are really many people who died for him."

At the court meeting, Ji Wuye was really dissatisfied that the officials under Zhang Kaidi took over the case for him.

As the head of the Korean family, Zhang Kaidi has always been a thorn in Ji Wuye's side, a thorn in his flesh.

However, due to his prestige, Ji Wuye has always been afraid and wanted to find a way to take him down.This ghost soldier case is the best excuse.

"Don't worry, General, it will happen sooner or later."

The Emerald Tiger greeted him with a smile on his face.

"With this 10 taels of military pay, Yemu can finally take a breather."

Over the past few days, Yemu has been in a serious financial deficit. The most important reason for this is that it gave the Mohist Commander the [-] strongholds.

Thinking of this, Emerald Tiger felt a little worried.

"Mr. Anping and Mr. Longquan, won't they be unable to hold on?"

"Don't worry. These two old fellows are not fools. In their current state, at most they will be reprimanded. If we are recruited, what awaits them is land and nobles."

"But leaving them there is always a disaster. The group of people in Zhang Kai are not vegetarians."

"Don't worry, it really doesn't work, just silence those two old fellows, and save money for them afterwards."

Hearing Ji Wuye's unscrupulous words, Emerald Tiger was a little worried.

"But they are the royal family after all, will this make King Han angry?"

After all, the two of them belonged to the Korean royal family, and they were also the younger brothers of the King of Han. If they were killed, the trouble would be even bigger than this robbery case.

Unexpectedly, just after Jade Tiger finished speaking, Ji Wuye laughed out loud.

"Tiger, tiger, you are good at making money, but you are not good at court disputes. King Han doesn't want to see these two younger brothers. If they die, King Han will take their fiefs and earn more than us. Much more."

"I can rest assured that."

"The most urgent task is to recast this batch of military salaries."

"I understand, I've already asked someone to do it."
