Grandmaster Wei Zhuang's fifth-level internal strength cultivation allowed Lu Yuan to break through two levels directly.

The harvest is huge.

Outside Xinzheng City.

The sky is dark and the air is gloomy, giving people a feeling that a storm is about to come.

The two Korean princes, Longquan Jun and Anping Jun, were riding on horseback, and behind them were soldiers escorting military pay.

A large group of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages arrived at the suburbs.

"What is that? Protect the carriage!"

After a muffled thunder, rain fell from the sky.

Suddenly, an undead appeared at the entrance of the canyon ahead, floating in the air. Although the soldiers were a little panicked when they saw this scene, they still picked up their weapons to protect the carriage.

Until more and more undead appeared in the sky and flew towards them, the soldiers' attacks had no effect on penetrating the undead's bodies.

A box containing gold was knocked over, and the gold disappeared in the rain at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the soldiers' last psychological defenses collapsed.

"It's a ghost!"

"They took the gold!"

"Run! I don't want to die!"

"..."

The entire escort team was thrown into chaos in an instant, and everyone fled for their lives.

……

"Have you heard? The team escorting military pay was robbed this morning, not far from the city."

"Who is so bold? Are you trying to save your life?"

"I'm telling you not to spread the news. The one who caused the robbery doesn't seem to be a human. My brother's son was among the soldiers guarding the city gate this morning."

"He saw that the soldiers were all fleeing back, and they kept saying things like 'ghost soldiers robbing'. Some soldiers were even frightened to death."

"No way? You mean it was a ghost who robbed the military pay?"

"Don't disbelieve me, the place where the military pay was robbed seems to have been an ancient battlefield."

"..."

The news spread quickly, and the whole city of Xinzheng was talking about it.

The second floor of Zi Lan Xuan.

The voices of people talking on the street could be clearly heard in the room.

Zi Nu said thoughtfully: "Use the ghosts and gods as a cover."

"It seems that someone in this city wants to swallow up this batch of military pay."

"I'll go out for a while!" Wei Zhuang took the shark tooth in his hand.

In fact, the two of them had already guessed who was behind the scenes. In this city, in this country, the only one who had the ability and courage to do this was Ji Wuye.

Knowing that Wei Zhuang was going to the scene to take a look, Zi Nu did not stop him, but just said: "The ninth son of the Korean nation is next door, don't you want to go and see him?"

"Now is not the time. He has not proved that he is worthy of being chosen!" Wei Zhuang jumped out of the window, climbed onto the roof, and quickly headed towards the city gate with a few quick leaps.

The main hall of the Korean royal palace.

King Han An sat on the throne with a gloomy face and even very angry.

Civil officials and military generals stood on both sides of the hall.

Everyone was silent, no one dared to make a sound.

Until Han Wangan above suppressed his anger and said: "Who can tell me what is going on?"

"The military pay that was being transported by a large force was robbed less than 30 miles outside the city."

Han Wangan's gaze first lingered on Zhang Kaidi for a while, and finally locked onto Ji Wuye.

As a king he is mediocre, but not stupid.

Ji Ji Wuye is the biggest suspect in this matter.

Ji Wuye, how dare you?!

This is the military pay for the border troops. How dare they touch even this kind of money? Are they trying to make the entire army mutiny and rebel?

This time, Han Wangan was really a little angry, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Perhaps sensing something, Ji Wuye, who had been lowering his head, walked to the center of the hall and said, "This matter is of great importance. I think the most important thing right now is to recover the lost military pay as soon as possible."

"As for the candidate for investigation, I think the Prime Minister is the best choice."

Having said that, Ji Wuye glanced at the open space on the right.

Even if I can’t kill you this time, I’ll make you lose a layer of skin!

Han Wangan had originally intended to let Zhang Kaidi come to investigate, so he naturally had no objection and asked, "Prime Minister, are you willing to share my worries?"

"Your Majesty, obey your command." He knew that this was Ji Wuye's conspiracy, but since Han Wangan had asked, he could not refuse.

"very good."

"Then you will have seven days to find out the truth and recover the lost military pay."

"Prime Minister, please don't let me down!" Han Wangan was obviously putting pressure on Zhang Kai.

Although Ji Wuye is the most suspicious, Zhang Kaidi, the Prime Minister, is also a bit suspicious.

Those in power are suspicious by nature, and Han Wangan is no exception.

When Zhang Kai returned to the palace, he immediately summoned the five trusted officials whom he had promoted.

Discuss how to solve the case.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. We will live up to your expectations and recover the lost military pay within seven days."

Looking at the five confident people in front of him, Zhang Kaidi felt a little worried.

……

On a road more than a hundred miles away from Xinzheng.

A troop of several hundred people was marching quickly, and the Blood-Clothed Marquis Bai Yifei was riding on a horse at the front of the troop.

His expression was cold and he was obviously in a bad mood.

On the other side, Ji Wuye had just returned home in a good mood.

The black crow appeared in front of him.

Ji Wuye raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mo Ya said: "Master Bai Yifei is about to arrive outside the city."

Ji Wuye's face changed, and his good mood disappeared instantly: "Is he crazy?"

"A border commander returned to the capital without the king's order."

"Is it him who wants to rebel? Or is it me, the great general, who wants to rebel?"

"Just yesterday, the Snow Clothes Castle was invaded by the Baiyue old tribesmen, and the former Baiyue crown prince was rescued by them."

"Perhaps it is because of this news that Lord Bai Yifei rushed back in such a hurry." Mo Ya glanced at Ji Wuye's face tentatively with his peripheral vision.

"How dare a bunch of dying bugs jump out at this time!"

"Come back if you want! Send someone to tell him not to rush into the city, but to go back to his fiefdom and wait for a few days."

"And notify the person in the palace to make sure the king issues an order for Bai Yifei to return to the capital."

“Only in this way can we justify our claims.”

"Yes!" Mo Ya turned and walked out of the hall.

Ji Wuye turned around and looked at the empty hall, his face turned gloomy.

Although there were reasons for this, he still found that Bai Yifei was increasingly looking down on him.

The relationship between the two was a bit subtle, as the other party was nominally his subordinate.

But in reality it is more like a partnership.

But he used to tolerate it as long as it consolidated his position, but now this "partner" is becoming more and more out of control.

It is inevitable that he has some other thoughts in his mind.
