Chapter Forty-Nine: The Salary Taken Again
The mist floating in the air and the terrifying and poignant sound made many soldiers fall into extreme tension and panic in an instant.
Immediately after, those black mist condensed and turned into eerie and terrifying black shadows.
The black shadow was dressed in a tattered armor, and its eyes shimmered with a ghostly fire of green color, but the sight of it made me shudder.
"Ghost, ghost soldier!"
A soldier couldn't help shouting, the matter of Zheng Guo's ghost soldiers robbing the army's salary had already spread, and he was a little uneasy in his heart during this trip, but when he saw this terrible scene with his own eyes, he was directly frightened.
"Zheng Guo's ghost soldiers are coming for revenge again!
Ahhh......h
A group of people shouted in horror, and some of them boldly drew their blades and slashed at the ghost soldiers floating in the air, but when the sword slashed through the other party, it did not leave the slightest trace, and directly slashed into the air.
At this time, a group of ghost soldiers opened their mouths and spewed out streams of pitch-black gas, and after being contaminated with black gas, everyone suddenly fell to the ground, covering their heads and screaming in pain, their eyes were bloodshot.
After a few breaths, someone fainted, and with screams, the soldier continued to pass out and lose consciousness.
Half an hour later, hundreds of people were spared, all of them fell to the ground.
At the same time, the music that came from nowhere also stopped, and everything around was normal, without the slightest trace of ghost soldiers.
Immediately afterward, a man dressed in plain clothes appeared with a mask on his face.
I saw him walk to a carriage, stretch out his hand to open the box, and pieces of yellow gold came into view.
Then he was seen to gently place his palm on the box, and then a magical scene happened.
As the silver ring on his index finger flickered, the two large boxes of gold on the car disappeared out of thin air!
The masked man walked over to the other two carriages, inspected the goods as he had done before, and then the box containing the gold disappeared in the same instant.
After doing this, he glanced at the Korean soldier who was still unconscious, and then his figure flickered a few times and disappeared in place.
Naturally, the soldiers were unaware of all this, and by the time they woke up, it was already the next day.
The sky brightened, and everyone slowly opened their eyes and stood up with their heads that were still a little painful.
When they saw the empty carriage, they were all shocked, and then they all exclaimed: "The ghost soldiers robbed the salary!" ”
At this time, General Youwuwei frowned, and his face was very ugly.
As Ji Wuye's henchman, he knows something about the inside story of the ghost soldiers' robbery, and any Zhao country's undead are fooling people.
But what happened yesterday made him mutter: "Is there really a ghost soldier?" ”
But then his eyes became firm: "Yes, it must be so!" ”
As the person in charge of the escort, he is mainly responsible for the loss of military salary. If King Han is angry, it is not too much to cut himself.
Therefore, it is necessary to give an explanation, or an excuse to escape responsibility, and the ghost soldier is the best reason.
After all, ghost soldiers come and go invisibly, and they have strange and unpredictable abilities, and it is normal that they can't be stopped.
And this kind of thing has happened before, if you can rob it once, you can naturally have a second time.
Thinking of this, his heart was also firm, only by pushing everything on the ghost soldier's forehead could he minimize his responsibility.
Then he picked up his sword and slashed it across his arm.
A long wound appeared, deep into the bone, and blood splattered out.
At this time, an adjutant came over, saw the wound on his arm, and said, "General, what's wrong with you?" ”
The former covered his wound and said, "I fought with that ghost soldier last night and was accidentally injured. ”
Hearing this, the adjutant couldn't help but be stunned, he also saw the ghost soldiers, but did his own general fight with the ghost soldiers yesterday? How do you remember that the other party has been hiding behind the carriage all along?
And looking at the appearance of the wound, it is obvious that it has just been seen.
Although I have doubts, as a qualified subordinate, I will never say such words.
just said with a look of admiration: "The general is brave!" ”
General Wu Wei seemed to have really entered the play, and sighed: "The general fought with those ghosts for a long time, and finally it was difficult to fight, and let them rob the military salary again, it is really a shame for the king!" ”
As he spoke, he also showed a look of sadness and helplessness.
Seeing this scene, the corners of the adjutant's mouth twitched, the scene of his own general is really enough......
Although I know what is going on, I still have to cooperate fully.
"General, you have done your best, don't blame yourself, that ghost soldier is really fierce and abnormal. We want to return to Xinzheng as soon as possible and report this matter to the king. ”
The former nodded: "You are right, this matter still has to be decided by the king." ”
After speaking, he took care of the wound on his arm, and then returned with the soldiers the same way......
A few days later, news spread throughout the kingdom.
The military salary was robbed again, and the general of the Right Guard, who was in charge of guarding the gold, also fought with it and was seriously wounded.
Originally, many people who were a little skeptical about the ghost soldiers really believed it at this time. After all, it happened twice in a row, so they couldn't believe it.
At this time, in the palace hall, Han Wangan sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and the military salary that he had finally recovered was lost again, how could he not be angry?
"Bai Yifei, before you swore that the ghost soldiers robbed Han Fei for their salaries, but now the widow has put him in prison, and the gold is still lost. How do you explain that? ”
At this moment, a white-haired man standing below stood up, dressed in blood-red robes and pale, revealing this evil aura.
"King, maybe someone deliberately did something in order to clear Han Fei's name."
Han Wangan heard this: "Then tell me, who did it?" ”
Bai Yifei frowned slightly and said: "This matter is being investigated with all our might, and I ask the king to wait patiently." ”
The former snorted angrily: "The widow is already impatient. ”
At this time, an old man spoke: "According to the old man's opinion, the ghost soldier robbery is indeed deliberately designed, but it is not the ninth prince. ”
Han Wangan said: "What Zhang Xiangguo wants to say, it doesn't hurt to be blunt." ”
He opened his hand slightly, and then said: "Lao Chen was suspicious of the matter of the ninth prince before, but now it seems that he was just framed by someone and became the thief's shield. ”
King Han's expression moved slightly, and he spoke: "Then who does Xiangguo think is doing this?" ”
Zhang Kaidi replied: "This escort is in charge of General Youwuwei, he is the most suspicious, and he should be thoroughly investigated." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "In addition, this person is recommended by the general, in order to prove his innocence, I am afraid that General Ji will also be wronged......
