After Gu Xun returned to the city, he originally went straight to his home, but he suddenly changed his route halfway and found a remote and dark corner to get into.
He found an old acquaintance.
The raindrops dripped onto the ground along the eaves in the corner, making a continuous crackling sound.
After Gu Xun came in, another figure flashed in despite the heavy rain, with two long swords on his waist behind him, which was extremely conspicuous in the dim space.
It's Xuanjian.
Gu Xun's zhenqi tightly wrapped the surface of his body to ensure that he would not get wet. Even his long flowing hair was shaking slightly despite the beating of the rain, which made Xuanjian's eyelids jump.
No wonder I suffered so badly back then.
"Why did Luo Wang send you here again? There is no one else available?" Gu Xun asked curiously.
Xuanjian was injured by him last time. Why would Luo Wang have to add two more people to deal with him again?
"..." Xuanjian was silent for a moment, calmed down his agitated mood, and then replied, "Luowang can't confirm your identity yet, so he sent me to identify you. If it's correct, I can get rid of you." "Ha!" Gu Xun was amused. Has Luo Wang's leader been kicked in the head by a donkey?
"You were seriously injured last time, weren't you? What did your boss think when you were asked to come alone?"
"In order to find my child, my recent behavior has been a bit unusual. I'm afraid Zhenri has noticed it and wants to use your hand to get rid of me." Xuanjian explained with a dull expression.
"That's it..." Gu Xun nodded casually, not paying much attention to these details, "Then what do you want to do when you come to me? Are you looking for death?"
Xuan Jian had no feeling for Gu Xun's deadly tone. His expression was still stiff and ruthless, his tone was cold, and he spoke his purpose unhurriedly:
"I hope to join forces with you to get rid of the sun."
"I have found the approximate whereabouts of my child, but if I don't hide from the sun, I will never be able to find him alive."
"Well, things are changing, right? Now it's your turn to use me as a knife to deal with the sun."
"As long as you can get rid of the sun and let me get my child back, I can agree to all your conditions."
Xuanjian is a rough guy with nothing but good fighting ability, but the last thing Gu Xun needs is fighting ability. In terms of practicality, he is not much better than Mo Ya, so Gu Xun...can agree to his conditions. p>
Don’t give it up for free!
"It's no problem to deal with Zie Sun. He sent so many people to chase me last time. This can't be done anymore. I must kill him."
Xuanjian, whose eyes and expression were basically as dead as water, finally showed some excitement when he heard that Gu Xun agreed to his request.
"When I die and I find my child, my life will be yours."
Gu Xun raised his hand and pressed it slightly, "This is not important. Let's talk about other issues first."
"Where is the occultating sun now?"
"It should be near Xianyang. He seems to have received an important task now and needs to personally supervise it." Xuan Jian had tortured the killer about this before.
Gu Xun's face tightened, and he said in a disappointed tone, "What the hell, can I still make a special trip to Xianyang?"
"You have to wait for a while to resolve this matter when I encounter you. Otherwise, you can find a way to lure people over."
Xuan Jian did not show his disappointment, nor did he try to persuade or argue, "I will try, and I will inform you immediately as soon as there is news."
After saying that, Xuanjian silently left with his two swords on his back.
Gu Xun was also blindly happy, thinking that Xuanjian had been sent and Zhanri was nearby again, so he went home in low spirits.
………………
The peace that Xinzheng City had maintained for more than half a month was once again broken.
As the two princes of Longquan of Anping fled back to Xinzheng with the rebel soldiers, the story of the ghost soldiers robbing wages completely spread in the city. The spread spread at an alarming speed. Within a few days, almost the entire city was talking about Zheng's ghost soldiers.
As a result, no one dares to go near the Soul Broken Valley.
The commotion caused by this incident was much greater than the previous incidents. After all, the previous incidents were just man-made or accidental. The only mysterious mountain fire was far away from Xinzheng City, and it was basically spread by rumors.
Very few people have actually seen it.
But this time the ghost soldiers robbed people not far from Xinzheng, and two royal princes from Anping and Longquan personally publicized it. In addition, the theory of Zheng's ghost soldiers was well-founded, so the effect was naturally extraordinary.
Average.
The most important thing is the subsequent development of this matter.
One hundred thousand military pay was lost, and Han Wangan was naturally frightened and angry. He could not easily believe the theory of ghost soldiers after listening to the words of Anping and Longquan. However, the entire escorting embargo army of 300 people all said in one voice that they had seen ghost soldiers, and Han Wangan could not tolerate it.
Don’t believe it.
The imperial troops who escort military pay are all carefully selected. Not only are they the most elite in strength, but their loyalty is reliable enough. You can try to bribe one or two, but buying them all... is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, despite losing one hundred thousand military pay, Han Wangan did not directly punish Lord Anping and Lord Longquan.
It was only one hundred thousand gold, which was almost all the cash in the treasury. It was impossible for Han Wangan to give up and not look for it. He immediately arranged for people to thoroughly investigate the matter and recover the military pay.
Then... all the chief judges in charge of military pay cases died mysteriously. It is said that the death was miserable and horrific, and it was said that they were killed by ghost soldiers.
As a result, the rumored ghost soldiers' robbery became more real and reliable in the hearts of the people.
Han Wangan thought so too, but he was still unwilling to give up his one hundred thousand gold.
Without this money, where can he find money to supply the border army?
There is no other way but to continue to find someone to investigate the case, and then continue to kill the inquisitor.
However, in the eyes of some discerning people, this matter is obviously related to General Ji Wuye.
……
The time came on the first day of March. At noon, Gu Xun took care of the business of the medical clinic and went to Zilanxuan for dinner as usual. Yan Lingji followed him.
This woman had heard Gu Xun ask about Zi Nu's military pay, and then not long after, South Korea lost 100,000 gold in military pay. Naturally, she would not think this was a coincidence, so she has been following Gu Xun recently, wanting to know about it.
Is it his fault?
Zilanxuan, backyard reception room.
Zi Nu is not the only one who comes to eat with Gu Xun today, Wei Zhuang is also rare.
Whenever he shows up, it's usually something he's doing.
Gu Xun lay on his back on the couch, leaning on the table with one arm, looking at Zi Nu and others sitting in front of him in three directions.
These three people are staring at me now, what do they want to do?
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't always look at me with inquiring eyes." Gu Xun looked a little impatient and said angrily.
Yan Lingji raised the green jade fingers of her right hand, playing with the hair hanging on one side of her face, and said in a playful tone:
"My family asked you, but you didn't answer me!"
Gu Xun was too lazy to pay attention to her and kept asking nonsense all day, so he had no interest in being her universal encyclopedia.
