He touched his chin and said: \"It looks no different from the one a few days ago. Is this really new clothes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Princess Honglian was suddenly anxious and gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her brother was good at everything, but his vision was not good. He probably drank too much wine, so he was old and blind in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, it is rare for my brother not to go out to drink and have fun today, but to stay in the mansion!\" Princess Honglian said with a hint of sarcasm in her words to Han Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since Han Fei returned, she would sneak out of the palace from time to time, wanting to find her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time to chat, but nine out of ten times she failed, and the other party went out to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today, she happened to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Fei smiled faintly and said: \"Drinking in the mansion occasionally is also a good experience!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked Princess Honglian a question: \"You have lived in the palace for a long time, have you ever seen Mr. Su Xuan, who once prayed for rain for Father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you have seen him, what kind of person is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Red Lotus subconsciously wanted to say that she had, of course, met him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But as the words reached her lips, a glimmer of craftiness flashed in her eyes. \"Is Big Brother asking me for a favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Fei was taken aback. He hadn't expected his sister to say such a thing, but he was a man who cared little for face. \"Let's just say I am asking Red Lotus for a favor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Han Fei's words, a look of smugness appeared on Red Lotus's face. She immediately said, \"As for him, I have met him a few times. He is a very mysterious person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If the ghost soldiers are truly exacting their debt, perhaps he is the only one who can deal with them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" A look of surprise flashed in Han Fei's eyes. He hadn't expected his sister to say this. \"Red Lotus, you seem to know him quite well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That...\" The word \"of course\" was on the tip of her tongue, but Red Lotus felt it was inappropriate and beneath a lady's dignity. How could she let her brother know she was interested in that man? She quickly changed her tone: \"He lives in the palace, after all, so I know a little bit about him, more or less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Fei nodded. Wise as he was, how could he not see through his sister's insincere attitude?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deep down, he couldn't help but feel an even greater curiosity about the man named Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He very much wanted to meet Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he did not rashly ask his sister to introduce them. As long as that man was still in Zhao Guo, still in Wang Cheng, he would see him sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the General's Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since returning here, Ji Ji Wuye's life had been even more comfortable than the King of Han's. Here, he was the true king; all his needs for food and drink were attended to by beauties and his sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two beauties were serving him by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he ate fruit, he asked the person in front of him, \"What is that man doing now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The King of Han letting that man named Su Xuan investigate the ghost soldier affair was beyond Ji Ji Wuye's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Ji Ji Wuye believed that the man could not possibly uncover the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ghost soldiers seizing the military pay and exacting their debt appeared on the surface to be the work of ghosts, but he knew the truth better than anyone: it was entirely man-made.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If that man wanted to investigate ethereal, non-existent ghosts and gods, how could he ever find the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, despite this thought, Ji Ji Wuye ultimately felt a measure of caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, he was a strange man who had mastered the ability to summon wind and rain; no one knew what other methods he possessed. Therefore, after the court session ended and Su Xuan was entrusted with the important task by the King of Han, he had been sending people to watch Su Xuan in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wanted to see how Su Xuan would investigate the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he really found any clues, they would have to be dealt with in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That man seems to truly believe this case is the work of ghost soldiers. He went to the Soul-Severing Valley outside the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soul-Severing Valley was the place where the ghost soldiers first appeared. It was also where the Lords of Lord Longquan and Lord Anping were escorting the military pay when they encountered the ghost soldiers, leading to the mysterious disappearance of the funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A strange smile curled the corners of Ji Ji Wuye's mouth. \"Interesting. It seems this 'extraordinary man' is nothing more than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I suddenly hope he can actually find the ghost soldiers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But could Su Xuan find the ghost soldiers?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was a task that was fundamentally impossible to achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inside Soul-Severing Valley, Su Xuan was dressed in green robes, with several guards sent by the King of Han standing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The lead guard, named Han Han Jiuli, was a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sir, have you found anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked at Su Xuan and asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They were no strangers to Soul-Severing Valley. Back when Zhao Guo destroyed Zheng, many Zheng soldiers died here, hence the name. In the past, people's impression of this place was limited to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But after the ghost soldiers began seizing military pay and exacting debts, this place had become eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even though today was a bright, sunny day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Han Jiuli still felt a chilly wind blowing from behind, making him subconsciously want to stay away from this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beside him, the other guards also looked fearful, but because Su Xuan was here, they could only remain, pinning their hopes on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If there truly were ghost soldiers, they hoped this expert could hold his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan said calmly, \"I have indeed found something!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Han Jiuli was stunned. He hadn't expected this man to actually have a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Should he say it was worthy of an expert?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, he heard Su Xuan say, \"You few, dig up some of the soil from this area and bring it back for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Han Han Jiuli and the guards were all startled. They hadn't expected Su Xuan to make such a bizarre request.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But an expert's actions must have their reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They proceeded to do as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Back in the Wang Gong, the King of Han looked at the guards piling the soil dug from Soul-Severing Valley on the ground according to Su Xuan's instructions, his face full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Su Xuan had found clues at Soul-Severing Valley, he had rushed to see him, but he hadn't expected Su Xuan to have them bring back so much dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I will not hide it from Your Majesty: I am proficient in the Art of Communicating with the Nether and can converse with ghosts and gods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Soul-Severing Valley is where the ghost soldiers appear, so the soil there is tainted with the aura of ghosts and gods. I ordered it brought back to serve as a medium to summon them, so I may ask them where the missing military pay is hidden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The King of Han and the guards who had piled the soil were shocked and terrified upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially the guards who had dug up the soil and brought it here; they were on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to Mr. Su, the soil contained the aura of ghosts and gods. Having touched it, would they be haunted by them and have their lives taken?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The King of Han was terrified that Su Xuan could actually penetrate the netherworld and speak to the soul-reaping ghosts. He asked Su Xuan repeatedly, \"Can such a thing really be done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It can be done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan appeared extremely certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The King of Han was still worried. \"What if the summoned ghosts want to take my life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured. Since I dare to perform this art, I have the confidence to deal with them!\" Su Xuan's words were filled with deep confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Su Xuan's bold words, the King of Han couldn't help but feel a bit of courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In that case, Mr. Su, please proceed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan ordered the soil to be piled up, and then, under the watchful eyes of the King of Han, he officially began to perform the Art of Communicating with the Nether. Before long, gusts of eerie wind began to blow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1492,"2026-06-17T03:35:52.916Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5c26ff88622ea88c6a4f0bbc6be5a55a5f22539eb8ae53c7b5b1b44353a1bd80","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-22","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-20",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
