Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Tomb Robbers

Due to the tight time, they set off on the same day, this time to fight, so they couldn't take Qingqing with them, so they could only leave her in Luoyang.

However, leaving Qingqing here alone, Wei Yan was a little uneasy, and finally left Zhou Cang behind to take care of Qingqing.

Wei Yan had already discussed with He Jin, and as soon as Wei Yan left the city, three thousand men and horses were assembled, just waiting for him to go on the expedition.

The people and horses were all ready, and they were originally going to go into Chang'an with He, so they were equipped with armor and had sufficient supplies.

On March 28, 189 AD, Wei Yan led 3,000 Yulin troops from Luoyang to Songshan to suppress bandits.

Wei Yan took Pei Yuanshao as the vanguard general, commanded 500 troops, and is currently opening the way.

He also took Dian Wei as the deputy general to command the rear of 500 palaces and escorted some supplies.

Wei Yan led two troops to command from the center.

The army went out of the river, passed through Xingyang and Zhongmu, and arrived near Changshe City on this day, it was already evening, and the army was encamped twenty miles outside the city.

Although Wei Yan nominally came out to suppress bandits, in fact, the suppression of bandits is secondary, and the main thing is to delay time, so he must set up camp in every place he goes along the way.

Wei Yan and the others also had a good time playing around.

By the time the army set up camp outside Changshe City, it was already dark, and Wei Yan wanted to dig out pheasants on a whim.

He knew that at night, the pheasants could not see the road clearly, and he still had some experience in hunting.

Wei Yan stayed with Dian Wei to take care of the team, and he and Pei Yuanshao took a few guards to search along the grass layer on the side of the road.

"Giggle......

"Listen, is there a sound?" Wei Yan stopped and listened carefully.

Then the sound was gone.

"General, you heard me wrong." Pei Yuanshao said.

Now that he is in charge of the army, he can't use the previous name, and everyone who calls Wei Yan has to be called a general.

"Did I hear me wrong?" Wei Yan felt that it was unlikely that he had heard it wrong, but the voice was indeed gone.

There is no moon tonight, and it is pitch black all around, and it is really hard to find pheasants if they don't make some movement.

"Let's all look separately, it should be around here." Wei Yan said.

"Okay, you two go over there, you two go this way......" Pei Yuanshao commanded the guards to disperse to find it.

"Rustling ......"

They rustle on the grass and are a bit creepy on nights like this......

Suddenly, Pei Yuanshao patted Wei Yan.

"What for?" Wei Yan asked.

"Boss, look at that ......" Pei Yuanshao's voice trembled a little.

Wei Yan felt strange and looked in the direction Pei Yuanshao pointed, where there was a faint bright light flickering.

"Boss, there won't be any ghosts, right?" Pei Yuanshao whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."

"Look at those fires, fluttering, aren't they just ghost eyes?"

"Fart! It could be someone, or ......"

"Or what?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Hmm...... Ghost fire. Wei Yan thought about it for a moment and said.

"Ghost fire? …… Boss, let's run, while this ghost fire hasn't discovered us yet. ”

Wei Yan is a little like, he usually looks at Pei Yuanshao with a big grin, as if he is not afraid of anything, but he didn't expect to be afraid of ghosts.

"Ghost fire is not a ghost, but a ......flame produced by the burning of phosphorus on the bones of a human or animal," Wei Yan explained.

"What? What phosphorus? ”

"I told you you don't understand," Wei Yan rolled his eyes, "Let's go, go over and take a look......"

"Boss......" Pei Yuanshao looked at Wei Yan pitifully.

"This is a military order." Wei Yan said.

"Come here, follow me." Wei Yan called the other guards together and walked in the direction of the firelight.

Wei Yan felt that the fire might be a nearby resident, and it was unlikely that it was a ghost fire.

As they approached, the light of the fire suddenly disappeared.

"Oops~" One of the guards suddenly tripped and fell.

Wei Yan also sensed that the terrain here was a little uneven, and there were more potholes, so he said, "Be careful." ”

"General......" The fallen guard ran up, and suddenly screamed in a little panic.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yan asked.

"It's a graveyard...... General, this is the graveyard ......"

Wei Yan touched it, and sure enough, he touched a grave on the side.

Although he was a staunch atheist, he still felt a little tingling in his scalp and cursed in secret.

"Is that really a ghost fire?" Wei Yan thought and looked up at the other place.

At this glance, sure enough, there are many shadows around, all of which are graves.

"It looks like it's a cemetery, there must be a village nearby." Wei Yan said.

"Boss...... Let's go......" Pei Yuanshao's voice really trembled.

Wei Yan didn't want to stay in this place for long, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Instead of returning the way they came, they made a slight turn and wanted to go out in the other direction and continue looking for pheasants.

They spared the graves one by one, and after walking a few steps, Pei Yuanshao recited the words: "Uncles and uncles, aunts and gods, brothers and sisters, the younger brother passed by here, and there was no malice to wait for me to go back, I must burn some paper money for you, you can live below with peace of mind, don't come out to scare me, I have ......"

After walking dozens of steps and sparing more than a dozen subcontracts, suddenly, Pei Yuanshao howled "whoa~".

jumped three feet high, and there was a cry in his voice.

"Ghost~"

Pei Yuanshao ran away, maybe he was really frightened, forgetting that this was in the cemetery, and it was uneven everywhere, and he was tripped and fell all of a sudden, put it on the ground and screamed.

Wei Yan saw that this guy was really frightened, so he hurriedly went up and hugged him, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Pei, Xiao Pei, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Wei Yan......"

Wei Yan comforted Pei Yuanshao while patting him easily, and after a while, he finally calmed down his emotions.

"Xiao Pei, what's wrong with you?" Wei Yan asked.

"Boss...... Scared the hell out of me, woo...... I'll just say there's a ghost...... You're going to come here...... Now we are dead......" Pei Yuanshao was shocked.

"Don't talk nonsense, where is the ghost, why didn't I see it?" Wei Yan said.

"There are really ghosts, there were ghosts grabbing my feet and necks just now...... Pei Yuanshao said this, his face was a little hideous, "It wants to drag me down......"

"Xiao Pei, don't be afraid, you must have tripped over the branches, resulting in an illusion."

Wei Yan said to the guards again, "Go over and see if there are any tree roots or anything like that." ”

The "General......" guards were also a little scared.

However, there was still a bold one, who glanced over and suddenly shouted loudly, "Leader, come and see, there is a hole here!" ”

When Wei Yan heard this, his heart jumped ......, could it be ......

Wei Yan let go of Pei Yuanshao and walked over, squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked at it, there was still some dirt at the entrance of the cave.

"It's wet." Wei Yan touched it and felt the wetness of the soil.

"Uncle's! Tomb robbers! Wei Yan shouted.
