Chapter Twenty-Three: A Thousand Ghosts Cry Together

Zhang Muxian's left hand blocked the evil ghosts behind him, and the sword move in his right hand weakened by a point, and the power of the sword move in the ghost king's hand also weakened, so after more than ten moves, the two stopped fighting. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the ghost king shouted, and the evil ghosts behind Zhang Muxian also slowly retreated.

The ghost king's eyes flashed with red light, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "My horse aid has attacked the Huns in the north all my life, broken Rongdi in the west, and conquered Jiaozhi in the south, killing people without counting, destroying dozens of countries, and now he has died unjustly, and his wife and relatives have fallen into lowly status, although it should be, how can he be angry with others? You go!"

Zhang Muxian said apologetically: "There is really nothing that can be done about this matter, forgive me!" After speaking, he walked forward in a depressed mood, people always have to do what they can, he comforted himself so much.

After Zhang Muxian walked out of dozens of zhang, he suddenly heard Ma Yuan crying behind him: "My Ma Yuan is deeply sinful, and he deserves this retribution, but these brothers of mine are innocent, why do they let them die without turning a blind eye?

Ma Yuan's cry was full of desolation, full of grief and indignation at the end of the hero, and was moved by his cry, and thousands of evil ghosts cried with him.

Zhang Muxian suddenly stopped and blamed himself: "Zhang Muxian, Zhang Muxian, when you first crossed over, you were ambitious and wanted to make a career in this westward journey world, but once you fell into the demon cave, you were cautious, knowing that Ma Yuan might be greatly wronged, but he didn't dare to make a move because he was afraid of the Bodhisattva in the South China Sea." What is the difference between you and your previous life? You still want to be famous in the Three Realms with such a character? You still want to drive heroes to serve your life, can you serve the public?"

A comprehension made Zhang Muxian break out in a cold sweat, and he resolutely turned around and walked behind him.

"Can General Ma tell me about you? If the general is really wronged, he will definitely come to his aid, and he will not give nine points if he can do ten points. Zhang Muxian said solemnly.

Ma Yuan raised his head in surprise, the red light flashed in his dark eyes, and his voice in his belly was slightly excited: "Dao Commander is willing to help us avenge our grievances? ”

Zhang Muxian staggered to let go of his kowtow and said, "General Ma will tell me what happened!" In fact, Zhang Muxian can vaguely guess one or two, Ma Yuan is the chief general of the Southern Expeditionary Legion, and King An Le is the grain officer of the Southern Expeditionary Legion. However, in line with the principle of bold assumptions and careful verification, Zhang Muxian must find out the truth of the matter before making a move.

Ma Yuan said slowly: "Jiaozhi is a small country barbarian, but he believes in paganism and does not accept my Han king. The emperor named me as the chief general of the southern expedition, Ma fought all his life, had some experience, and was fortunate to be undefeated along the way, until the capital of Jiaozhi was besieged. If this development continues, I will be able to capture the capital of Cochin in just one or two months, capture the enemy chieftain, return Kyoto, and Chaotianzi. However, Chen Xiaogang's gang gave all the military grain to the victims in Huzhou, and the Southern Expeditionary Army had to retreat hastily due to lack of food, and was ambushed by Jiaozhi on the way back, and the 100,000-strong army was defeated miserably. ”

Ma Yuan said that he couldn't cry anymore, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Xiaogang is the servant of King Anle." ”

Zhang Muxian frowned and said: "Huzhou was affected by the disaster, King Anle distributed military grain to the victims, taking care of one thing and losing the other, it is not easy to measure right and wrong here!"

Ma Yuan said hatefully: "He distributed military food to the victims, and my Ma Yuan is undoubtedly righteous, but he brought 100,000 stone military food, which is enough for all the people in Huzhou to eat for more than a year." He can save the people by distributing thirty percent of the military rations, but he just distributes all the military rations, and his heart can be punished!" said that the momentum of a famous general in a hundred battles was exuded here.

Zhang Muxian thought in his heart, "I'm afraid things are not so simple. So he asked, "Didn't the imperial court send anyone to investigate this matter?"

Ma Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, I sent someone to investigate, and the conclusion was that Ma made a mistake in using the army, and the Ma family was demoted to a lowly status, and all the merits of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition were erased." ”

Ma died in battle, unwilling, and became a lonely ghost, and it was because of hearing the news that he became angry and turned into a ghost. After that, I returned to Jiaozhi and gathered more than 5,000 unjust souls among the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, totaling more than 5,000, absorbing grievances along the way, walking day and night, to seek justice. ”

"After coming to Huzhou, I learned that Chen Xiaogang was actually canonized as a god and enshrined in Zenyuan Nunnery, I had sneaked into the sneak attack many times, but he was blessed by divine power, and I couldn't get close at all. Three months ago, I discovered that the ghost knot "Six Out of the Snowflake Array" can enhance mana, and I broke through to the realm of the ghost king in one fell swoop with the help of the resentment of the five thousand brothers, and these five thousand brothers have also broken through to the realm of evil ghosts, but their souls have been eroded by resentment, and they have lost their minds. ”

Zhang Muxian nodded and said: "Snowflakes are yin, and ghosts are yin and evil things, and the two are combined, so naturally you get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Ma Yuan continued: "I led five thousand brothers to practice the formation day and night, and until the day before yesterday, we were not afraid of the sun, so we went to seek revenge on King Anle, but we were blocked by the Taoist chief. ”

Zhang Muxian bowed his head and apologized: "This matter is reckless, but if you listen to everything, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, and I still have to find out what happened before I can help General Ma." ”

Ma Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, Ma has not been idle in Huzhou for half a year, and it is not Chen Xiaogang who came to Huzhou to press grain, but also thousands of soldiers, who were scattered and distributed to various places afterwards. Ma asked some of the soldiers in Huzhou. When the military rations arrived in Huzhou, Huzhou was already starving everywhere, and the bones were exposed, so few people objected to distributing some military rations to the people, and everyone suggested that a part of the military rations should be distributed to the people, but Chen Xiaogang insisted on going his own way and distributed all the military rations. ”

Zhang Muxian said in his heart: "In this way, the imperial court may not know the truth of the matter, I am afraid that it is because Ma Yuan is dead, and Venerable Guanyin has to splash all the dirty water on Ma Yuan." ”

However, the truth of the matter still needs to be verified by many parties, so he said: "What year is it now, and who is on the throne?"

Ma Yuan said: "This year is the thirty-first year of the establishment of the martial arts, and the thirty-first year of my lord Liu Xiu's accession to the throne. ”

Zhang Muxian was shocked in his heart, now that he has entered the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founding emperor Liu Xiu is said to be a virtuous king, but he didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen under his rule.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Muxian asked, "The general has good friends in the capital, and it is best for this person to meet the emperor." ”

Ma Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhengxi General Kui Chen and I had a fateful relationship, but my case was decided by the emperor, and it is impossible to overturn the case. ”

Zhang Muxian said with a smile: "It's man-made, the general can tell me how to gain his trust." But he said in his heart: "The cause and effect of this matter is too big, since I have decided to make a move, I must find out the whole story, whether I want to help you overturn the case, how to overturn the case, and I need to wait for the matter to be cleared before making a decision." ”
