Chapter 255 Ghost Soldiers

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

Walking through the Ghost Soldier Valley, the surrounding atmosphere became eerie. The soldiers of the Korean army were well-trained. Although they were in the legendary ghost land, they did not show too much fear.

Green Eyebrow stood on the cliff, looking at the crowd below, with a slight smile on his lips in the moonlight.

The fog in the valley gets deeper and fills the entire valley bottom. 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, with white bones and desolate armor, and green fire eyes, floating in the air, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

When the Korean soldiers noticed these ghost soldiers, they shouted in panic.

Fear made these well-trained soldiers behave worse than children. The spear in his hand was originally a tool for protection, but it was trembling at the moment, and he had completely forgotten how to use it.

There were also a few brave soldiers who wanted to fight the ghost soldiers, but when the spears in their hands pierced the hollow bodies of the ghost soldiers, they were massacred instead.

Taking a lesson from the past, the remaining soldiers did not dare to fight against them. They still stayed at their posts with a little firm will. The rest hid one after another, all showing fear, their stature was stooped, and they looked cautious.

Until the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, the moonlight rose again, the fog dissipated, and the ghost soldiers lost their traces. Those Korean soldiers who were hiding showed their heads, but those soldiers who were still sticking to their posts in the chaos let out a loud roar.

"The military pay is missing!"

"The military pay is missing!"

Compared with the chaos before the ghost soldiers arrived, the Korean soldiers felt real fear at this time.

If the military pay is lost, the officers and soldiers escorting the military pay will not be able to escape the death penalty. Maybe it will also 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 King Han, when King Han heard the news, he was furious.

"Nonsense! How can there be any 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 the world, but he understood that the Korean soldiers on the front line had to rebel because one hundred thousand military pay was just gone.

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

Compared to ghosts, he still cares more about money.

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

Lord Longquan and Lord Anping knelt on the cold floor, very frightened.

"Brother Wang, forgive me!"

However, King Han's anger did not weaken even a little bit, and he complained.

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

King Han's two brothers knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

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

Long Quanjun was thin and frightened, but his third brother's voice came to his ears.

"Brother Wang, forgive me! Brother Wang, forgive me! It was really a ghost soldier's robbery. All the soldiers saw it, and we dare not lie. The soldiers even spread the news privately that we were the ones who killed Zheng Guo's surrender. The army caused today’s disaster.”

"Nonsense. Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping Pit. How come there aren't any rumors about ghost soldiers in Qin?"

King Han was really angry, so much so that he said something that he could not say as King Han.

"Your Majesty, I think there is indeed something unusual about this matter. We should send the most capable people in the court to investigate."

Just when King Han felt that he had gone too far, Ji Wuye stood up, cupped his hands and spoke.

"General, look, who should be sent?"

"Both gentlemen are members of the royal family. The person who interrogates them should also be a highly respected person in order to convince the public. I think Mr. Xiangguo is the best choice."

Kaifengdi also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but he did not expect that Ji Wuye would blame this matter on him.

I feel that there is a big hole in this matter, but in the current situation, it is difficult to refuse.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is very old. This case is too strange, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort. I am willing to take over this responsibility."

King Han looked at a young minister among the ministers.

"Nangong Cuo, are you sure?"

"I should do my best."

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

King Han dismissed the court meeting, and a crowd of people gathered around Kaikai.

"Xiangguo, what is Ji Wuye's intention when he asks you to investigate this case?"

He stroked his beard openly, but he couldn't decide in his heart. Finally, he looked at Nangong Cuo and gave instructions.

"This matter is of great importance, you must be careful."

“Students understand.”

Ji Wuye returned to the mansion and seemed unhappy.

"There are so many people who have died for this old man in Kaifangdi."

At the court meeting, Zhang Kaidi's officials took over the case for him, which really made Ji Wuye very dissatisfied.

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

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

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

The Emerald Tiger came forward with a smile on his face.

"With these one hundred thousand taels of military pay, we can finally take a breather at night."

Since the night, it has been stuck in a serious financial deficit. Among them, the most important reason is the twenty strongholds given to the Mohist commander.

The Emerald Tiger was a little worried when he thought of this.

"Anping-Jun and Longquan-Jun can't hold on, right?"

"Don't worry. These two old guys are not fools. They will be scolded at most if they are like this. If they recruit us, what awaits them is seizing land and losing titles."

"But leaving them there will always be a disaster. Those people in Kaifangdi are not vegetarians."

"Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, just silence those two old guys and save money for them later."

Listening to Ji Wuye's unscrupulous words, the Emerald Tiger was a little worried.

"But they are a royal family after all. Will this make King Han angry?"

After all, the two of them are from the royal family of Korea and are the younger brothers of the King of Korea. If they are killed, the trouble will be even bigger than this robbery.

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

"Tiger, Tiger, you are good at making money, but you are not good at court disputes. The King of Han does not want to see these two brothers. If they die, the King of Han will take over their two fiefdoms and make more money than us. Much more.”

"I can rest assured that."

"The top priority is to recast this batch of military pay."

"I understand, someone has already done it."
