Chapter 264 Military Pay

Prime Minister's Mansion.

"grandfather!"

When Zhang Liang came to Kaifengdi's study, he was looking at the night with his hands behind his back.

"How's it going?"

"Ninth Young Master said that the first layer of the knot has been resolved, and what is left is the one hundred thousand military pay."

"Is that so?"

The ghost soldier case has turned from a dispute between Qin and South Korea into an internal conflict within South Korea. Kaidai doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Lord Hanyang's unscrupulousness made him feel that a storm was coming. However, it was not the young man who was more worried in Kaifangdi's heart. The princes of various countries are actually more or less restricted. At least, it is not his turn to make the decision in Qin State now.

"Zifang, you also heard the conversation between Ninth Young Master and Lord Hanyang today. What do you think?"

"Since the Changping War, the Qin State has had a huge advantage over any of the other six kingdoms. Not to mention that the Qin State is an internal dispute, but it is really using its troops externally. If it wants to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world, this fashion Early. And what the world will look like in the future has not yet been decided. Hundreds of schools of thought have all put forward their own ideas for governing the world, and they all hope to be used by those in power."

"Indeed, maybe I am worrying too much."

He smiled broadly, shook his head, and turned his back.

"Since Lord Hanyang has stopped intervening, or in other words, since he has protected the leader of the Mo family, he has stopped interfering on the surface, so the only thing before us is to find the one hundred thousand military pay."

"This is what worries me. If Ji Wuye knows the current situation, we don't know what he will do."

This 100,000 military pay is very important to South Korea, and it is also an important fund for Ye Mu.

"Ninth Young Master, do you have anything to say?"

"Ninth Young Master said that he wanted to visit the Mo Family Guild Hall."

When Kaifang spoke about Han Fei again at this time, he no longer had the contempt he had not long ago, but Zhang Liang's words still made him a little puzzled.

"Mo family?"

A touch.

Ji Wuye's casserole-sized fist hit the table hard, the sound loud and somewhat angry.

"After much thought, this matter has nothing to do with the leader of the Mo family."

Lu Mei knelt on one knee, waiting for Ji Wuye's order.

As the assassination organization directly under Ji Wuye, Bainiao, for its killers, each life is just a symbol on the list.

But now, Ji Wuye did not issue an order to add another meaningless name to Bai Niao's assassination list as usual.

The Emerald Tiger sat next to Ji Wuye and cautiously tested.

"The general thinks it was the Mohist leader who did it, but the Mohist guild hall is under our surveillance and there was no movement that night!"

Most of the Mohist forces have temporarily withdrawn from Xinzheng, leaving only a small number of troops to continue to stay.

This person, under the surveillance of the night, has no chance of making any small moves.

Ji Wuye lowered his head and looked at Lu Mei and asked.

"Have you found the traitor among the city defense soldiers?"

"There are some troubles in the investigation of Bai Niao. Many of the city defense soldiers were promoted by Li Kai. This time Li Kai transferred Luyang to defend Luyang, and many soldiers followed him."

"What did you say!"

Ji Wuye stood up angrily, and before Lu Mei could finish his words, he started roaring.

"This general has now taken over the defense of Xinzheng. All deployments of city defense troops must go through the General's Office. Why should they be mobilized to Luyang?"

For a general, the most sensitive thing is the military power in his hands. This is especially true for a general who has had no actual power for a long time.

"They did not transfer military status, but came to Luyang together as Li Kai's direct soldiers."

Private soldiers, in an era when etiquette and music had not yet collapsed, there were strict restrictions on the number of soldiers and horses that each level of nobles could possess.

But now, as long as you have money and land, you can support soldiers and horses. Even mountain bandits and water bandits can gather hundreds of people by relying on the barren mountains and wilderness.

As a general, Li Kai could support dozens or hundreds of private soldiers without much problem, and everything was within the allowed range.

Hearing this, Ji Wuye showed a hint of disdain.

"Li Kai doesn't even have a fief, how many soldiers and horses can he support?"

"I heard there were a thousand people."

Ji Wuye frowned, this was not a small number. Li Kai didn't even have a land. How could he support so many people with his general's salary alone?

"Does the king know?"

This thing is a bit strange, Ji Wuye couldn't help but ask.

"The news came from the palace. I heard that Hu Meiren had blown a lot of wind in King Han's ears. King Han gave Li Kai a lot of gold and silver, and asked the arsenal order to select some equipment and gave it to Li Kai asked him to choose as many troops as he wanted to go to Luyang with him. Who knows, there will be more than a thousand people who responded, and it will be difficult for King Han to change his tune. "

"Hmph! He's quite polite."

Ji Wuye snorted lightly and transferred a thousand people away without even saying hello. It was obvious that he didn't take him as a general seriously.

More importantly, these soldiers did not wait for Xinzheng, which was full of flowers, but were willing to go to Luyang and other borders that were always under the attack of other countries' troops.

The statement that Li Kai can win people is not groundless.

"But even this is not right. There are a thousand people, even if the king gave a lot of gold and silver, but this money alone is not enough."

Ji Wuye paced in front of Lu Mei with a suspicious expression.

"Could it be that the 100,000 military pay is in Li Kai's hands, and the chief commander of the Mo family played this trick on me just to let Li Kai recruit troops outside?"

"It's not impossible."

The Emerald Tiger was on the side, listening to Ji Wuye's words, and nodded. The Emerald Tiger is timid, but it is relative. He is never afraid to show his ferocious side to the weak.

"Master Marquis, if this is the case, Li Kai has already set off, and there are a thousand people beside him. It will be difficult for us to regain the 100,000 military pay."

There was no legitimate reason to search Li Kai's residence at night. Even if there was a legitimate reason and the batch of military pay was found, the 100,000 military pay had already changed its appearance, which didn't mean much.

Ji Wuye thought of this and subconsciously glanced at the empty seat next to the window. Suddenly he realized that usually when faced with such a dilemma, the person who could give an idea was no longer there.

"Things were rushed that day, and I didn't have time to ask for details. Who was the person you were fighting against?"

"That man was good at using illusions and was extremely skilled. He was superior to his subordinates and could kill more than a dozen guards in only ten breaths. It was a foggy night and his subordinates didn't even see the man's face, so he completed it. all actions."

"When did the leader of the Mo family have such a master under his command? Or is he a subordinate of Zhao Shuang?"

Ji Wuye murmured and waved his hand.

"No matter what, Bainiao deploys all its forces to monitor Li Kai's troops and must find out where the 100,000 military pay is."
