Chapter 18

"Your Majesty asks this because of the ghost soldiers taking lives that have been making a lot of noise recently?"

In the palace room, Su Xuan’s eyes were calm as he said to the King of Han.

A look of surprise flashed in the King of Han’s eyes, but he did not hide it: "I will not hide it from you, Mr. Su, it is indeed because of this matter!"

"I don't know how you knew about it?"

Su Xuan smiled: "First, ghost soldiers robbed the pay, and one hundred thousand taels of gold military pay disappeared. Then there were ghost soldiers taking lives, and those who intended to investigate the truth died one after another... These two things have been making a lot of noise recently, not only spreading outside the palace but even entering the palace."

"Although I usually stay here refining elixirs and cultivating, this does not mean that I am completely ignorant of what is happening outside."

"From time to time, someone will come to me and tell me some of the latest news from the outside."

The King of Han listened quietly to Su Xuan and immediately knew who told Su Xuan about this: "It’s that girl Princess Honglian!"

Although Princess Honglian grew up in the palace and the King of Han protected her very well, she longed for the world outside the palace, so she would sneak out of the palace from time to time. The King of Han knew this clearly and did not deliberately stop her. As long as she knew the measure and came back on time, he could pretend not to see it.

However, he did not expect that the relationship between Princess Honglian and Mr. Su had reached such a point.

From time to time, she would come to Mr. Su’s place and tell him what was happening outside the palace.

"This matter was indeed told to me by Princess Princess Honglian!"

Su Xuan nodded.

It was also from Princess Honglian’s mouth that he heard about this, and he suddenly realized that, unknowingly, he had reached the so-called "plot" point.

This made him feel some emotion.

But that was all.

After the King of Han knew the ins and outs, he didn't have any intention to scold Princess Honglian or blame her for spreading this matter wildly, and continued to ask Su Xuan: "Then what do you think about this matter?"

He was still the same question as before: are there really ghost gods in this world?

Su Xuan said indifferently: "The theory of ghost gods has a long history. In the past, Han Guo destroyed Zheng Guo and turned Zheng Guo’s Wang Gong into the current Wang Gong. If those ghosts of Zheng Guo really exist, it is not strange that they would take revenge on Han Guo out of national hatred and family enmity!"

The King of Han’s expression was solemn, and a trace of panic appeared on his face: "Are you saying that ghost soldiers really exist?"

Ghost gods taking lives are impossible for the living to guard against. Now these ghost soldiers have only robbed his military pay and killed those who tried to explore the truth.

If one day, ghost gods want to take revenge on him, the King, what should he do?

Although the destruction of Zheng Guo was not done by him.

But the current Han Guo is indeed rooted in the capital of Zheng Guo, the Wang Cheng of Zheng Guo.

The Zheng of Xinzheng is the Zheng of Zheng Guo.

In panic, the King of Han saw Su Xuan in front of him again, like an ant drowning in water finding the last straw, and hurriedly said to Su Xuan: "Please help me, Mr. Su!"

In his anxiety, he didn't even call himself "I" (Guaren), but used "I" (Wo) to refer to himself.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious!" Su Xuan appeared very calm: "Although I have not denied the existence of ghost gods, if you think about the ghost soldiers carefully, there are really many doubts."

"Oh?" The King of Han looked at Su Xuan in surprise and confusion.

Su Xuan is a master who can summon wind and rain, and the elixirs he refined made him feel young.

The theory of ghost gods is a mysterious and unexplorable existence for ordinary people, but he is willing to believe the words of this master.

If there is anyone in the huge Han Guo who can deal with these ghost gods, it must be this person in front of him.

"Regarding the ghost soldiers robbing the pay, because I am not a party involved, I don't know the details, so I will skip it for now. Just talk about the ghost soldiers taking lives. On the surface, it is those ghost soldiers who don't want to be disturbed, so they killed those chief investigators who tried to explore the truth!"

"But don't you think it’s strange, Your Majesty?"

The King of Han was puzzled: "What’s strange?"

"Not to mention that these chief investigators had never offended these ghost soldiers before. Since the ghost soldiers appeared outside the city, why did they suddenly come into the city to commit crimes? And, if it was because they were disturbed, so they killed those who explored the truth, there were not a few people who transported the military pay that day, and they all witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldiers. As a result, those ghost soldiers chose to let them go... Even if they started taking lives at this moment, none of those people died!"

The King of Han heard Su Xuan’s words and came back to his senses.

Yes!

Even if the ghost soldiers wanted to take lives for revenge, why did only the chief investigators die?

On the day the military pay was transported, those soldiers who witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldiers and even tried to attack the ghost soldiers, why did none of them have any accidents?

Earlier, because the one hundred thousand taels of military pay were robbed, the King of Han was extremely angry, and there was the ghost soldiers taking lives, which made him feel some panic in addition to his anger, so that he lost his most basic judgment.

At this moment, in front of Su Xuan, a master, perhaps because Su Xuan gave him confidence and courage.

So he gradually calmed down.

Now that I think about it, it really is a bit wrong.

The ghost soldiers killing those chief investigators is like deliberately preventing some people from finding out the truth and preventing them from finding the lost military pay.

The ghost soldiers robbing the pay was not done by ghost gods, but... by man!

The King of Han couldn't help but have such a guess, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Immediately afterward, he hesitated again.

But what if it was really done by ghost gods?

He frowned, then relaxed, and looked at Su Xuan in front of him again: "Mr. Su?"

Su Xuan said: "Since Your Majesty has found me, I have received so many benefits from Your Majesty during this period, and it is a bit unreasonable to continue to sit idly by."

"If it is really done by ghost gods, I would like to see if the ghost gods are more powerful, or if my Dao sword is stronger!"

"Good!"

The King of Han suddenly said loudly: "With your words, Mr. Su, I feel much more at ease!"

"Please help me find out the truth, Mr. Su!"
