It was dinner time at this time. Zheng Ze was originally going to order some food and go back to his room, but he changed his mind when he saw the crowds of people in the lobby downstairs.
"These days, please don't go out at night!"
"Why is this?"
A young man sat on a bench, crossed his legs to the side, and talked loudly and frivolously, attracting the attention of people around him.
Most of the people who eat here in these posthouse restaurants are businessmen who have come from other places, or people who live here temporarily due to other matters, and generally do not know much about the local area.
The young man glanced at the person who asked the question, felt that most people in the hall were looking towards him, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Why? Because if you walk a lot at night, you'll easily encounter ghosts!"
He raised his chin and said that he felt a special sense of satisfaction from being paid attention to by so many people, especially when he saw the eyes of these people seeking knowledge from him, he felt even more satisfied.
"Did you know that a few days ago, the imperial court escorted the soldiers to the border fortress to reward the troops, but before they left Xinzheng, they encountered the Yin soldiers who had died in the past on the street. Didn't you see it? At that time, all the ghosts of those undead were floating
They were still marching uniformly in mid-air. Fortunately, when some soldiers stepped forward and shouted, these undead turned their heads, and their eyes all glowed green!"
He described it vividly, as if he were present at the time.
Someone around them frowned slightly, "What happened next?"
Hearing someone ask, the young man grinned and said, "Everyone was very scared at that time, but as a Korean soldier, even if I was a little frightened, I would move forward without hesitation. The Yin Army is nothing, they did not win the battle before they died.
Is it possible that it will be fine after death?"
"But at this moment, something weird happened!"
At this point, the ears of most people in the hall perked up. Even if they didn't pay attention to this originally, they couldn't help but want to hear what happened next.
"As the soldiers were marching, they slowly discovered that the military pay on the carriage was getting lighter and lighter. It rained that day and the sight was not very clear. When everyone reacted, they discovered that the military pay and money that had been stuffed full of money had been filled with money. I don't know when
It became shriveled up. At this time, the leading adults ordered people to lift the cloth covering the military pay, only to find...ahem!"
At this point, he felt as if there was phlegm stuck in his neck and could not continue talking.
"What did you find?" asked someone who didn't know about it.
"I discovered...well, this..." The young man looked left and right, his eyes rolling a few times.
"Store, I will settle this little brother's account for him." At this time, a middle-aged man with a serious look placed a few coins on the corner of the table.
Hearing this, the young man who had originally spoken suddenly beamed, "This man is open-minded!"
The middle-aged man didn't say much and said calmly: "Keep talking."
"Okay!" The young man was very happy after another wasted meal. "When the curtain was lifted, everyone discovered that the 100,000 military pay that had been prepared had disappeared under the eyes of thousands of people in the army.
And fly!"
"When it was discovered that the military pay was missing, the Yin soldiers around them also slowly dissipated. Only then did everyone realize that the military pay had been robbed by these Yin soldiers!"
"Probably because he lost his hometown after being killed in the war, there was no one to offer sacrifices to him, and he had no money to buy his life down there, so he decided to focus on living money."
After talking for a long time, his mouth became dry and he poured a sip of wine into his mouth.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then asked, "How did you know this?"
The young man smiled slightly and raised his hands upward, "My brother-in-law is a member of the royal family. He saw what happened that night with his own eyes! If there is no basis, how could I make something out of nothing?"
The middle-aged man nodded, thinking about the impact this matter would have and what businessmen like them could gain from it.
Zheng Ze, who was eating silently in the corner, listened to these people's random conversations and quietly went back to his room with satisfaction.
When he returned to the room, he saw that Yan Lingji was still unconscious. Without thinking much, he sat in front of the desk next to her bed, with his back to the bed.
"If it's true as these people say, things are pretty good at the moment."
The ghost soldier robbery occurred, but the matter has not been resolved. The specific step it has reached is definitely not something that the following people can figure out.
But no matter which step it takes, it is good news for him.
"In this case, I still have a chance. It's just..." Zheng Ze turned his head helplessly and glanced at the beauty lying quietly behind him.
"Originally I thought you could protect me, but now it's better. I have to take care of you all the time."
Zheng Ze sighed, there was no one to blame. Speaking of which, Yan Lingji was like this because of him, even though he didn't mean it.
However, he was still a little depressed. He got up and sat beside Yan Lingji's bed, looking at the quiet and gentle woman, and his serious indifference and disdain when he first met her came to mind.
"Aren't you arrogant? I still like the way you look at me with disdain on my face! But you get up and continue to be disdainful!"
After a while, there was still no movement from her. Zheng Ze suddenly felt that there was no point in venting his anger with a comatose person. "I'm telling you, you'd better be obedient and repay my kindness when you wake up. I've been worried and exhausted these past two days."
I still have to take care of you. Don’t do whatever you want just because you think you’re pretty. If you don’t obey me, just wait for me to whip you in the future!”
After regaining a wave of self-esteem in front of Yan Lingji, Zheng Ze stood up and looked at the darkening night outside the window while I closed the windows tightly.
This is not a harmonious society. He has no sense of security no matter where he is. He can only try to prevent danger from happening.
After almost tidying up the house, he suddenly saw the wooden bucket for washing, and then looked at Yan Lingji.
"Hey, it's really..."
Soon he fetched hot water from outside, placed it in front of the bed, and gently wiped Yan Lingji's hands and face clean.
I have to say that her skin is really snow-white and delicate. Maybe she has been in the water for a long time, making her as soft and silky as water.
He didn't touch other places. After doing this, Zheng Ze also felt exhausted. He hugged the quilt he asked for from the store, walked aside, casually spread it out on the ground beside the bed, blew out the candle, and got dressed.
sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but a pair of smart eyes slowly opened in the darkness, and Yan Lingji straightened up carefully.
Turning around, she saw this sleeping man, his fists clenched unconsciously. She almost couldn't hold back just now!
I didn't expect that while you were unconscious, you dared to speak out what was on your mind!
But I touched my face and recalled how cautious and measured this man was before, and for some reason I couldn't get angry.
But he knows Tianze...
Sitting on the bedside, Yan Lingji's eyes were wandering, and she didn't know what she was thinking for a moment.
…
The next day, Zheng Ze found that Yan Lingji still showed no sign of waking up. He felt a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
When he was about to continue guarding her, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the waiter outside said that a man named Li Da had brought something to him.
Zheng Ze was a little confused, so he took the scroll given by the other party, closed the door and slowly spread it out on the table.
On the light yellow parchment, a portrait of a stunning beauty appeared on the paper. Zheng Ze's pupils shrank slightly and he turned to look at Yan Lingji, whose eyes were tightly closed.
The person in this painting is clearly her!
Above the portrait, the blood-red word "Wanted" is drawn in ink.
This is news from Mi County, and it has reached Xinzheng!
