Shuzhou, located in the southwest of Dafeng, is known as the three states of Sichuan and Shu together with Bazhou and Central Yunnan.

Starting from Zhongzhou through the Hengduan Mountains is Bazhou, and from Bazhou to the west is Shuzhou, don't look at just these two sections, but this road is extremely difficult.

The southern foothills of the Hengduan Mountains are rolling mountains, and the plank road connecting Bashu and Zhongzhou was built on the edge of these cliffs.

The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky.

These words are not groundless, relying on the danger of Hengduan, when Dafeng attacked Bashu, it took a lot of effort.

In the end, it was a generation of famous generals Bai Yan who chiseled the mountain to open the way, and forcibly opened up a Shu road, and finally the army pressed the border, forcing the Miao Jiang tribe to give up the three states of Bashu, and this Shu road is also used until this year, which is today's Shu Road.

When night came, coming down from the Bashu plank road, the soldiers of the grain transportation team all breathed a sigh of relief.

How dangerous the plank road is, those who have walked through it know that along the way, five soldiers have fallen off the cliff in half a month's journey, and their bones are gone.

This finally crossed the Shu Road, and everyone had a sense of relief.

The trough officer who transported the grain wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "It's in Shuzhou, everyone work hard, and the army that King Anxi received is in front." ”

As soon as he heard that someone answered, the soldiers behind him showed a rare relief.

The group walked in the valley like this, this is the last checkpoint of their trip, Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain, the last peak at the southern foot of the Hengduan Mountains, is a towering mountain in Shuzhou, serving as a border barrier between the Bazhou and Shu Mountains, isolating the Shuzhou Plain from the Bazhou Basin.

At the same time, because of the terrain, the army is inconvenient to walk, so that the bandits in Luofu Mountain are rampant, these years the king of Anxi has been committed to solving the problem of bandits in Luofu Mountain, the effect is quite significant, at least in the daytime there will be no business travel robbery.

But at night, this risk will skyrocket, and Shi Zhong, as the official of the grain trough, is also the most worried about him on this road.

The torches along the way were bright, and all of them were soldiers in armor, just to tell those bandits that they were Dafeng troops and should not think crookedly.

I have to say that this deterrent effect is not bad, at least not a single mountain bandit has been found until now.

"My lord, look ahead, it's foggy." The group was walking, and the general next to Shi Zhong pointed to the white mist that suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted in dismay.

"Fog?" Shi Zhong was also stunned, how could the good end of this big night be foggy? Then he drew his sword and shouted, "Be careful!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers behind him also took out their weapons and became vigilant.

Soon, the mist drifted to the convoy, the fog was thick, and for a while the valley was filled with smoke, Shi Zhong's brows were furrowed, and he could barely see the moon above his head.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, without warning, the torches of the convoy were extinguished, the horses neighed, and the soldiers shouted in panic.

Shi Zhong shouted: "Don't panic, stay where you are, don't move, be careful of deception!" ”

The agitation soon fell silent, the valley was so quiet and misty that there were no torches, and the visibility around was so poor that it was almost impossible to reach out.

However, the fog lasted less than half an hour before it dissipated, and the starlight and moon reappeared in front of everyone.

Shi Zhong raised his head and looked at the moon above his head, his face changed suddenly, and the moon actually turned blood red.

"Moon...... The moon changed color......" After seeing the blood moon, the soldiers in the convoy shouted in fright, the blood moon hung in the sky, and this dazzling blood color made Shi Zhong feel a trace of oppression.

"Don't panic, it's all a trick, it's too weird here, everyone go outside!" Shi Zhong shouted and said, at this moment, even he was scared to the end, the fog that appeared inexplicably, the blood moon in the sky, this big night, who is not stunned when he sees it.

"My lord, ahead, look at the ...... ahead" There was another frightened shout from the crowd, Shi Zhong looked forward, this scene he could never forget in his life, and cold sweat flowed on his forehead instantly.

I saw a group of soldiers armed with torches and wearing black and blue armor walking towards them on war horses covered in iron armor.

Strangely, the torches of this group of soldiers were blue, just like the blue of the hellfires.

And these centaurs did not come over, but floated over, they had no feet at all, and they just floated in the air and floated towards them.

His eyes were hollow, and his armor was dull and gloomy......

The light blue fire shone on the black and cyan armor, undoubtedly adding a touch of horror and gloom to the already eerie atmosphere.

When the blood moon hangs in the air, the ghost mansion Yin soldiers spend the Yellow Spring.

Yin soldiers borrow the way, and a hundred ghosts travel at night.

Shi Zhong was a little dazed, this scene was the first time he had seen it in most of his life.

"Yin soldiers, these are the ghost soldiers of the Netherworld, the blood moon...... Ghost soldiers, my lord, let's ...... We're bumping into ghosts! Some of the soldiers around him who knew the way shouted in fright.

When a group of timid soldiers heard this, they dropped their weapons and ran up the hill, shouting as they ran, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" ”

At this time, they forgot that running to the mountains without weapons was the real search for death, and the beasts in the mountains were more terrible than these ghost soldiers.

Shi Zhong took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, don't move in place, we should have encountered the Yin soldiers borrowing the way, they can't see us, as long as we stand in place and don't move, it's fine!" ”

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they all stood still, and the whole valley fell silent again.

As the ghost soldiers in front of him got closer and closer, the sweat on Shi Zhong's head became denser and denser, and the sword in his hand was held to death.

Most of the soldiers behind him simply closed their eyes, and even if they felt cold around them, they didn't dare to open their eyes.

Sure enough, these Yin soldiers passed by them like blind people, and when they passed, there was no sound at all, and the blood moon above their heads slowly dimmed, and the sky became darker and darker.

Quiescence.

Deathly silence fills the valley!

The sound of everyone's breathing was extremely harsh at the moment, and they didn't know how long this scene lasted, until the night sky reappeared in front of them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The moon appeared above their heads again, this time it was no longer a blood moon, but a normal bright moon, and the entire valley returned to normal, Shi Zhong withdrew his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, it's okay, continue to set off." ”

"My lord, it's not good, the military rations ...... The rations are gone! ”

"What?!"

Shi Zhong was completely panicked, he didn't panic when he saw the Yin soldiers, and he didn't panic when he saw the night of the hundred ghosts, but when he heard the news that the military rations were missing, he panicked, losing the military rations was a felony, and his Shi Zhong was not enough to cut off ten heads.

Shi Zhong dismounted and crawled all the way to the convoy transporting military rations, all the carriages were empty, and not a single bag of grain was left.

Shi Zhong pulled the empty carriages, one, two, three...... There is not a single grain of rice left in the three million stone grains!

At this moment, Shi Zhong sat on the ground with a slump in his ass, tears flowing, and shouted: "It's over, it's all over now......"

……

After listening to what Hu Shangyi said, Ning Xiaochuan was shocked.

Yin Bing borrowed the way, a hundred ghosts walked at night, how could he say this, the more he felt like he was telling a story, if it weren't for this occasion, Ning Xiaochuan wouldn't believe anything he said.

"This ...... How is this possible? Three million stone of grain was lost so inexplicably? Yin soldiers borrow food? Ning Xiaochuan frowned and said.

Three million stone grain is gone, how can this be so simple as the Yin soldier borrowing the way, there must be a problem behind it, this Yin soldier borrowing the way is just an excuse, but this Yin soldier borrowing the way is fake, the three million stone grain is real, then the question is, where did all this food go?

"This ...... I don't believe it either, but not only Lord Shi Zhong, but even the soldiers accompanying him said the same. Hu Shangyi said anxiously.

"Losing military rations is a serious crime, and before the military rations are found, Lord Hu will not be innocent." Ning Zhi groaned.

Ning Yan frowned, "Dad, you should know what Lord Hu is like, you can see if you can help talk about it in the court." ”

Ning Zhi got up and said with a serious expression: "It's hard to say about this matter, after the loss of military rations, Your Majesty will definitely be furious, not only the Criminal Department, the Military Department, but even the Shuzhou Mu, and even the King of Anxi will be affected, at this time, helping Lord Hu to speak, it is undoubtedly a real challenge to Your Majesty." ”

Yes, even the king of Anxi has to be questioned by Xingshi, even if you are wronged at this time, you have to bear it, if nothing else, it is a matter of face, and the face of the royal family is not allowed to be blasphemed.

Hu Shangyi slowly lowered his head, and Ning Xiaochuan next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and when the time comes, Lord Hu will definitely be given justice." ”

Having said that, if nothing can be found out at that time, who can guarantee that Lord Hu will not be used as a scapegoat?

This happened so suddenly, Ning Zhidu seemed a little caught off guard, but after the loss of military rations, not only Hu Tongxun, but also the imperial court military department and the criminal department were all big, and the Yin soldiers borrowed all three million stones by the way, and no one would be able to start with this exchange.

At the same time, Shuzhou was also a mess, and the king of Anxi was stunned for a long time after learning that the Yin soldiers borrowed his three million stone grain, and directly ordered the army to temporarily slow down the attack on Miaojiang, and at the same time sent the army to Luofu Mountain to suppress the bandits, and thoroughly investigated the matter, he wanted to see how the hundred ghosts carried the grain away.

These are just the remedies of King Anxi, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is inevitable that he will enter Beijing, three million stone grain is not a small amount, he has to explain it to him, the emperor's brother.

The reason why he led the army into Sichuan back then was because he couldn't get used to seeing this brother's behavior and behavior, so he chose the most dangerous place.

After many years of operation, the public security in Sichuan and Shu is getting better and better, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy of Sanzhou has begun to develop slowly.

If it weren't for the suppression of the rebellion in Miaojiang, he wouldn't have opened his mouth to borrow grain from Yindu, and if he hadn't borrowed grain, there wouldn't have been so many things......
