Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ghost Soldiers' Robbery
Broken Soul Valley on the outskirts of Xinzheng, South Korea.
In the dark night, the torrential rain poured, the lightning and thunder roared, and there was a burst of footsteps on the outskirts of Xinzheng City, two nobles riding tall horses and wearing gorgeous robes walked over, they were the royal family An Pingjun and Longquan Jun, followed by two columns of soldiers, in the middle of the team, the heavy guards of the military pay were firmly protected, and with the advance of the vehicle pressed two deep creases on the road.
At this moment, the soldiers were already in a state of mental exhaustion, and their expressions were in a trance, and suddenly, a fog blew around them, and then many soldiers wearing Zheng Guo's armor rushed towards the team, all Zheng Guo soldiers were feet off the ground, their bodies were surrounded by dark blue flames, and their speed was amazing, like ghost soldiers. Everyone was so frightened that the six gods had no master, or the two leaders came back to their senses first, and hurriedly organized their manpower, set up a formation, and shouted at the same time: "Ghost soldiers, it's ghost soldiers, defense, defense, fast archery, fast archery," the soldier hurriedly raised a little spirit, pulled up the bow and arrow and shot at those ghost soldiers, but the bow and arrow passed through the ghost soldiers, and it did not have the slightest effect.
Suddenly, those ghost soldiers stopped and pointed at the bags containing gold, An Pingjun was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed over to cut open the bags, only to find that the gold had slowly disappeared, and when everyone was at a loss, the ghost soldiers also slowly disappeared.
The royal capital of Korea
In the conference hall of the Korean Royal Palace, Han Wang An sat upright on the throne, and under it stood Zuo Xiang Zhang Kaidi and the general Su Xie, only to see Zhang Kaidi step forward and play: "Your Majesty, Nangong, the chief judge who thoroughly investigated the ghost soldier robbery case, was killed last night. ”
Han Wang An was suddenly stunned, and said in disbelief: "Nangong is also dead?" All five presiding judges died mysteriously one after another, how is this good? When Su Xie heard this, he secretly wanted to step forward and salute and said, "There is a good candidate for the minister, and he can solve this strange case." ”
King Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Who?" ”
Su Xie bowed slightly, looked at Zuo Xiang and said, "It's Lord Zuo Xiang." ”
He opened Su Xie in disbelief, and wanted to refute, but this was King Han who had already spoken: "Xiangguo, are you willing to share your worries for the king?" Hearing the words openly, he could only agree.
King Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll give you ten days, and if you can't solve the case by then, you should know yourself!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Inside the Prime Minister's House
Zuo Xiang opened his face to his grandson Zhang Liang and asked: "Su Xie recommended the old man at this time, it is really ill-intentioned, An Pingjun and Longquanjun are all princes, it is really difficult to interrogate, and the ghost soldiers are troubled, if the old man is unfortunately killed, it is in line with Su Xie's intentions, if the old man has a big life, he escapes a catastrophe, but he can't solve the case within ten days, and it is also a crime that is unfavorable to handle the case. ”
Zhang Liang Yili said: "If there is anyone in South Korea who can solve this riddle, it must be that person." ”
Hearing this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "You'll know then." ”
。。。。。。。。。
In the evening, it is the most lively time in Xinzheng City.
On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many vendors with large umbrellas in the open fields on both sides of the street. The streets stretch to both sides of the city, always to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bianhe River. With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted with teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.
"Hmm~ It's been a long time since I've been shopping quietly with you like this!" Flame Spirit Ji happily took Su Xie's arm and looked around and said.
"Huh! We're not just out shopping! Su Xie looked at her happy appearance, smiled and said ruthlessly.
"It's okay! Anyway, shopping isn't the most important thing! The most important thing is that you are by my side! Seeing that Su Xie had really fallen for the woman's little scheme, Flame Spirit Ji smiled proudly and said happily.
"Huh! You! People who are already thirty years old! How can you still play such a childish routine! Su Xie took her into his arms and said speechlessly.
"General! Don't you know not to just say a woman's age? I'm 18 years old!! Flame Spirit Ji's tone was a little unhappy, after all, any woman would not be happy if she was said to be thirty.
Su Xie smiled and didn't continue the topic, speaking of age, he is also in his thirties this year, but because of the cultivation of the Golden Light Mantra, he looks like he is in his early twenties, speaking of which, the internal forces of this world seem to have the ability to prolong life, but most people are not as pure as Taoists.
Seeing that Su Xie didn't reply again, Flame Spirit Ji knew that he wouldn't discuss this issue with him anymore, and his eyes rolled and asked, "Where are we going now?" ”
"Farmhouse, Qianlong Hall!"
"Farmhouse? What are we doing there, we don't seem to have any connection with the farms! Flame Spirit Ji asked suspiciously.
"I didn't have contact before, because the farmers are generally active in other six countries, and they don't have much contact with us in South Korea. It's a bit unreasonable! Su Xie said with some playfulness.
Flame Spirit Ji looked behind Su Xie, and then observed the movement around him, but he really didn't see any troops, and asked suspiciously: "But you don't seem to be here to find fault!" ”
"Who said I was here to find fault! According to the nightfall report, the people who came to Qianlong Hall today are not simple characters! Su Xie joked.
"Oh! Then I'm going to see how unsimple it is in your eyes today! Flame Spirit Ji smiled charmingly, looked at the magnificent manor in front of her and said.
And the manor was impressively written with three big words: "Qianlong Hall!" ”
