After saying this, Zhang Liang left Zilanxuan with this good news.

At this moment, Wei Zhuang and Han Fei were sitting opposite each other and drinking.

"It's quite unexpected that Bai Yuan is willing to help you this time."

"It's probably because of our previous friendship, which is also good. At this stage, relying on Bai Yuan's power can help me achieve my goal faster."

Han Fei smiled slightly.

The case of the ghost soldiers robbing the military pay was not complicated for him, and he was confident that he could recover the military pay.

But this is all under the premise that Bai Yuan is not involved. Now that Bai Yuan has joined the game, there are more variables. Han Fei is not sure that he can get the military pay back before the time agreed with Zhang Kaidi, so he chooses to take safer measures.

Sometimes showing weakness to others and relying on the power of a stronger person is not a shameful thing. On the contrary, it may bring him greater benefits.

Wei Zhuang did not comment on this.

Taking advantage of the situation is also an important course that they, the strategists, need to learn.

Although their Guiguzi sect has the reputation of "when angry, all the princes are afraid, when they live in peace, the world is quiet".

However, whether it was Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Pang Juan or Sun Bin, they did not achieve this effect by personal force, but by analyzing the current situation and cleverly taking advantage of it.

To make the princes feel fear simply by using one's own force, no one can do it except a master who has reached the state of unity between man and nature.

"After this incident, although Bai Yuan's position is still not very clear, but with my previous friendship with him, I feel that I may be able to reach a cooperation with him and bring down Ye Mu."

Han Fei suddenly put away his playful expression and spoke to Wei Zhuang in a serious tone.

Wei Zhuang smiled somewhat contemptuously: "It seems that you are still a little naive. Now you dare to say that you want to overthrow Ye Mu."

"Isn't this exactly what Brother Wei Zhuang wants to see?"

Han Fei raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wei Zhuang didn't respond, but stood up and walked aside.

"Wait until you get the position of Sikou before you make these big claims!"

Han Fei stood up with a smile, bowed, and then left Zi Lan Xuan.

He knew that his ally Wei Zhuang would most likely not be able to escape.

Time flies. Three days have passed since Bai Yuan and Han Fei reached a deal that day.

During these three days, Bai Yuan did not receive good news from Han Fei, but he did receive good news from Ji Wuye.

This ugly thing has some brains, but not much.

After Bai Yuan explained everything to him that night, Ji Wuye guessed that Bai Yuan must have known where he hid the military pay, and later he learned that Han Fei had met Bai Yuan.

To be on the safe side, Ji Wuye secretly transferred the military pay in batches to different places and hid them overnight, thinking that it would be safer this way.

Unfortunately, all this happened right under Bai Yuan's nose, and there was almost no difference between being transferred and not being transferred.

The only function is to bring a little sense of security to Ji Wuye!

In addition, Longquan Jun and Anping Jun woke up from their coma and wanted to see King Han as soon as they woke up. However, before they could see King Han, they were found dead in their mansion. It seemed that they committed suicide.

Afterwards, Han Fei went to investigate and found that the two did not commit suicide, but were poisoned.

It is very likely that Ye Mu was afraid that the two would leak the secret to King Han, so he chose to kill them directly.

It was precisely because of this action that Han Fei understood how arrogant Ye Mu was in Korea, and he even dared to assassinate members of the Korean royal family.

It is conceivable that if he were to face the night head-on, he would have to be more careful when going out in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Fei felt fortunate that he had reached a short-term cooperation with Bai Yuan.

Moreover, Ji Wuye's assassination of Longquan Jun and Anping Jun also gave Han Fei a perfect excuse, allowing him and Bai Yuan to smoothly promote the memorial ceremony.

In the court, Zhang Kaidi, under the persuasion of Han Fei and Zhang Liang, took this opportunity to persuade King Han to hold a memorial ceremony to calm the situation and appease the ghosts.

His idea was simple. The deadline given to him by the King of Han was not long. If he could take this opportunity to get the King of Han to close the case, then he would be safe.

As for what Han Fei and Zhang Liang said about holding a memorial ceremony to get the military pay back, Zhang Kaidi felt that it was a bit of a pipe dream.

Ji Wuye surprisingly did not object to Zhang Kaidi's opinion this time.

Perhaps in his opinion, the 100,000 gold was already in his pocket, and closing the case as soon as possible could avoid further complications.

Chapter 350 Ji Wuye: Have you been playing tricks on me from the beginning to the end?

Three days later, outside the Valley of Broken Souls.

Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi, under the order of King Han, led all the officials here to hold a memorial ceremony.

Han Fei was also walking among the crowd.

In order to appease the people and stabilize the country, this so-called memorial ceremony was held on a grand scale.

Not only civil and military officials went on the trip, but also a group of elite royal guards.

The time chosen for the memorial ceremony is also noon when the yang energy is the strongest.

Among the crowd, Han Fei was still a little worried.

Although Bai Yuan assured him that the military pay would be returned by the ghost soldiers after the memorial ceremony, he still felt a heavy stone hanging in his heart before he saw the military pay.

The altar had been set up in the Valley of Broken Souls, and Zhang Kaidi specially invited a highly respected witch to serve as the chief priest.

When the memorial ceremony began, everyone present fell silent, with pious and solemn expressions.

The whole process went extremely smoothly as the steps of burning incense, reading prayers, offering rice soup, tea, silk and wine were carried out one by one.

When the memorial ceremony was over, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the sky.

The cloudless weather suddenly turned gloomy.

An inexplicable chill came over them, startling everyone present.

Han Fei shrank his head, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.

It seems that Bai Yuan has already taken action!

At this moment, a soldier of the Imperial Guard suddenly shouted to the people nearby: "Who is it?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that a ghostly soldier, clad in black, wearing armor and with red eyes, appeared out of nowhere from the shadows.

"Ghost soldiers! They are ghost soldiers!"

Everyone reacted immediately and panicked.

Ji Wuye's face suddenly turned ugly, because he knew that these ghost soldiers must be Bai Yuan's doing. Was he planning to disrupt the memorial ceremony?

Ji Wuye couldn't guess Bai Yuan's intention, but he reacted quickly. He immediately drew out the eight-foot sword at his waist and roared.

"Don't panic! The general is here!"

"Imperial Guards, listen up! Form a battle formation to meet the enemy!"

With Ji Wuye's words, the crowd that was originally in chaos actually calmed down quickly. The imperial guards formed a large formation on the periphery, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Zhang Kai glanced at the Ninth Young Master Han Fei in the crowd and found that he was not as panicked as the others, and even had a smile on his face. He immediately understood everything.

Han Fei had probably figured out the truth about the ghost soldiers long ago, and this memorial ceremony was also initiated by Han Fei, so these ghost soldiers might have been arranged by Han Fei. If this was the case, it meant that everything was under control, and naturally there was no need to be afraid.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kaidi breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he just wanted to know what Han Fei was planning to do by arranging the ghost soldiers.

At this moment, to everyone's surprise, two ghost soldiers came over carrying a huge wooden box. They did not attack the nervous imperial guards, but placed the wooden box on the ground in front of them.

Looking at the dust that was raised, you can tell that the things in the wooden box are not light.

Then more ghost soldiers appeared and dropped wooden boxes one after another. This behavior made people feel very puzzling.

Even Ji Wuye couldn't understand what was going on.

A courageous soldier of the Imperial Guards stepped forward at Ji Wuye's instruction and opened a wooden box. Suddenly, golden light shone on his face.

"It's gold...military pay! The ghost soldiers returned the military pay!"

"what!"

Hearing this, everyone was excited.

Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye rushed forward impatiently, opened a wooden box each, and were almost blinded by the gold inside.

Ji Wuye took two steps back weakly and almost fell to the ground.

Zhang Kaidi suddenly burst into laughter uncontrollably.

"The recovery of the military pay means that the memorial ceremony we held has appeased the souls of the Valley of Broken Souls. The souls are at peace in the underworld, so they will naturally stop causing trouble and even return the stolen military pay! This is a blessing for our Great Korea!"

"God bless Korea! God bless the king!"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they were like, eh? It seems to be true!

Then everyone responded and cheered along with Zhang Kaidi.

The military pay was recovered, and they saw with their own eyes that the ghost soldiers returned it personally. If this news were to get out, it would surely appease the people and stabilize the country, and the King of Han would surely be overjoyed.

By then, it will be a great achievement!

In the crowd, Han Fei was also watching this scene with a smile, and he was more convinced of the strength of Bai Yuan's methods.

He could see that the previous robbery of military pay by the ghost soldiers was caused by someone replacing the military pay with water consumption money in advance, which was a fraud, but this time the return of the military pay could not be faked.

He couldn't see how Bai Yuan did this.

One hundred thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money for military pay. It is almost impossible to transport it to the Valley of Broken Souls without being discovered.

After all, the area around the Valley of Broken Souls had been blocked off long ago because of the memorial ceremony today.

Han Fei couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

He looked at Ji Wuye with a smile and found that Ji Wuye's expression was very ugly at the moment.

It was the kind of expression that made one want to be angry but not dare to, and to smile even though he didn't want to. Coupled with his originally unattractive appearance, even a dog would shake his head when seeing him.

I guess Ji Wuye must be furious at this moment.

Ji Wuye was of course furious at this moment, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, he went to check last night and the military pay was still there!

He sent people to guard the place strictly. It was almost impossible to steal so much military pay from different places in one night without alerting anyone.

Maybe Han Fei and Bai Yuan reached some agreement, and Bai Yuan paid for it himself.

One hundred thousand gold is not something that the Taoist Tianzong cannot afford.

At this moment, Ji Wuye's mind was very confused and he was in a daze. He couldn't even remember how he got back to the general's mansion.

As soon as he came back and sat down, without even having time to take a sip of tea, a soldier ran in in a panic.

"General! Something terrible has happened! The gold... the gold has all disappeared!"

"what!"

Ji Wuye stood up angrily, his blood boiling, his head dizzy, and he fell back into his seat.

"Just now when the general went to the Valley of Broken Souls to hold a memorial ceremony, we saw the sky suddenly become very dark, and there was no light everywhere. Then the gold seemed to melt in the darkness and disappeared before our eyes!"

When Ji Wuye heard the report from his subordinates, the last bit of hope in his heart disappeared and he suddenly became furious.

He covered his chest with his hands and angrily hit the table with a hammer, smashing it into pieces.

At this moment, the soldier seemed to have thought of something and took out a piece of white paper from his arms.

"By the way, General, we found a blank piece of paper there."

Ji Wuye snatched it and took a look at the contents.

"General Ji, since our deal has not been concluded, I will take the 100,000 gold. Thank you again for your hospitality last time."

"Bai Yuan! This is too much!"

It turned out that Bai Yuan had been playing tricks on him from the very beginning. What was the 100,000 gold required to purchase the Sui Hou Pearl? The 100,000 gold referred to this batch of military pay.

Chapter 351 Rules are meant to be broken

In Zilanxuan, Han Fei dragged Zhang Liang here to drink to celebrate his successful capture of the position of Sikou.

Although the military pay was recovered this time, it was mainly due to Bai Yuan's mysterious methods.
