“Ha~drink~”

"Keep your posture and keep practicing."

In the schoolyard east of the Ghost City, harsh roars resounded in the dark air. Teams of naked strong men were constantly waving their weapons in their hands, and under the command of a middle-aged man who looked like a general, he practiced his killing skills.

Wang Zhi took Wei Chi to a relatively high area in the drilling ground. With the help of the night pearl on the surrounding stone walls, he observed the drilling ground that shouted loudly. After a long time, he lifted his crutch and said to Wei Chi: "Your Highness, what do you think of these people?"

Wei Chi's eyes were cold, and he thought for a while, and replied: "Master, what do you mean?"

Wang Zhi tapped the ground with a crutch, turned around and said, "These eight hundred ghost soldiers are the master's trump card. These people have been undergoing unimaginable training day after day in this dark environment.

Now it's time to play some role. After all, the Ghost Market never does losing money, so the master wants to hand over this army to your highness. I wonder if your Highness dares to accept the goodwill released by the Ghost Market..."

Wei Chi closed his eyes and thought deeply. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Master, tell me, Xiao Wang doesn't believe that you will be so kind and give Xiao Wang such an important trump card. Xiao Wang is very clear about the rules of the ghost market. What do you want to get from Xiao Wang?"

Wang Zhi snorted: "This is the kindness released by the Ghost Market, and it is also the reward for the cooperation with Your Highness over the years. As long as Your Highness can use these ghost soldiers to what they should do,

Then it is enough to prove that Your Highness is worthy of the continued cooperation in the ghost market. With Your Highness's wisdom, you should know what the Master is worth."

Wei Chi was silent, carefully recalling Wang Zhi's words, raised his eyes and continued to look at the eight hundred ghost soldiers, and shook his head for a long time: "Eight hundred ghost soldiers are each given one as ten, but it is not enough to achieve power. The master wouldn't really think that he wanted to use these 800 people to help Xiao Wang achieve his long-cherished wish for many years."

Wang Zhi smiled slightly: "The so-called things are done by man. The ghost market has created conditions for Your Highness. As for whether you can succeed, it depends on your highness's ability.

There are already many eight hundred ghost soldiers. Think about the rebel army, which was formed by the former military governor who had only a few hundred refugees, who would have thought that it would have become an existence that cannot be ignored in the Great Zhou Dynasty in just eight years?"

"Is this the master trying to force Xiao Wang?" Wei Chi replied lightly, "Do you know how tight the defense of this palace is? There are three thousand guards just guarding the palace wall."

Wang Zhi lit the pipe and sucked it slowly in his mouth: "If Your Highness feels that he is not competent, then the master will naturally not force it. However, since then, the cooperation between Ghost Market and Your Highness has completely ended, and we will never interact again. After all, the future of Ghost Market cannot be placed on a backer who has no effect..."

Wei Chi snatched the words and said, "However, Xiao Wang likes to challenge this difficult task. Yes, the master said it well.

Twenty-three years have passed, and Xiao Wang is also impatient, pretending to be a sick person for half his life, hiding his ambitions,

Xiao Wang doesn’t want to live like this, because if this continues, Xiao Wang is afraid that he will really go crazy..."

"Very good..." Wang Zhi muttered with praise, then took out a token and handed it to Wei Chi, "This is the order to mobilize the ghost soldiers. Your Highness must hold it away.

Remember, these 800 people have been in this dark cellar for a long time, and their vision has been seriously affected. If your Highness wants to remember, it is best to choose the time late at night."

Wei Chi took the military talisman, looked at it for a few times and said, "To be honest, this is the first time Xiao Wang has obtained military power. Unfortunately, it is not the army of my Great Zhou. It's really ridiculous."

Wang Zhi said: "Okay, the military power of the Ghost Market has been handed over to you. You can take them away at any time. After Your Highness ascends the throne, let's talk to the master about your ambitions..."

Wei Chi put away the token and said to Wang Zhi: "Don't worry, Master, Xiao Wang will prove to you that only by cooperating with Xiao Wang in the Ghost Market can you get the greatest benefits."

Wang Zhi ignored Wei Chi's words and continued: "But to be on the safe side, Your Highness will wait three days before dispatching troops. After all, the weapons needed by these ghost soldiers must be sufficient."

Wei Chi did not refuse: "It is exactly what Xiao Wang wants. Xiao Wang has planned it in detail these three days and tried his best to be foolproof."

Wang Zhi said: "Since that's the case, the ghost market will not leave your highness. Your highness should go back quickly to avoid others' suspicion."

Wei Chi no longer stayed and said farewell directly: "Then Xiao Wang will say goodbye first. Please believe that Xiao Wang is the most suitable candidate for cooperation with the ghost market."

Wang Zhi spit out a smoke ring and asked for advice: "Your Highness walks slowly, the master will not send it."

After seeing Wei Chi away, Wang Zhi turned around and looked at the eight hundred ghost soldiers who were still practicing in the drill field. He put away the pipe that smoked the tobacco leaves, shook his head and said:

"The people in this world cannot escape the temptation of power in the end. No matter how calm he is, what he can never face is his heart.

Wei Chi, these eight hundred ghost soldiers will not lead you to the throne, but will lead you into the endless abyss and will never be reborn forever."

...

On March 16, Daxing City, Yuzhou...

Xu Wenjing hurriedly shuttled through the streets and walked towards the military office temporarily established by Liu Ce.

Since returning to Yuzhou from the capital on the tenth day of March, Xu Wenjing has been busy with one thing until now, that is, to place Wei Ying.

Xu Wenjing had a strong habit of wife, but this time she didn't touch her for the first time. The reason why he suddenly "sits in her arms is not messy" was because there were many people around her, and she was under Liu Ce's nose, so she had no chance to start.

Wei Ying followed Xu Wenjing to Yuzhou smoothly. After learning that she was safe and that Liu Ce would not make things difficult for the past unhappiness, the stone hanging in his heart finally dropped.

Once a person relaxes, his nature is gradually revealed. Although Wei Ying is not a traitor, she is born in the royal family and has been used to enjoying a luxurious life since she was a child. So on the second day after she arrived in Daxing City, she vaguely told Xu Wenjing that she wanted to live in a comfortable mansion.

How could Xu Wenjing refuse this request? She took the initiative to find a suitable house in Daxing City. Finally, she found the mansion of former governor Jin Guowei, and personally invested in it. After cleaning up, Wei Ying lived in.

However, Wei Ying's appetite was obviously not satisfied with this, and she made many requests to Xu Wenjing twice and repeatedly. In just a few days, Xu Wenjing spent money like flowing water.

With a lot of money, Wei Ying was finally satisfied, but Xu Wenjing never blinked her eyelids about spending money. After all, in Xu Wenjing's mind, she thought that the money should be spent, and the money she didn't spend was still money...

However, Xu Wenjing's "showing off wealth" behavior was strongly dissatisfied by his colleagues. They continued to send impeachment letters to Liu Ce, who had already confirmed the name of King Han, accusing Xu Wenjing of disregarding his image and the overall situation.

The letter said that the people in the north are still poor. If such a "showing off wealth" method causes people who are not self-aware to start competing, it will have a reverse effect on the current industrial development.

Even the veterans led by Chen Qing in the military felt that it was very inappropriate and suggested that Liu Ce enlighten Xu Wenjing and never help the unhealthy trend.

However, Liu Ce disagreed with his attitude towards this matter, and even thought it was too much of a problem. Even if Wei Ying was not involved, did Xu Wenjing spend less money? Why didn’t anyone mention it before, but now he put pressure on himself because Wei Ying has arrived?

What's more, Liu Ce, who has experienced a lifetime, is very clear about the psychology of the people. For example, will people who only earn 3,000 yuan a month compete with the rich people who are in Maserati? This is similar to the current environment.

Most of the people in various provinces in the northern region are currently barely maintaining the same food and clothing line, and their main consumption is still concentrated on daily necessities. In this case, will they "fight for wealth" with Xu Wenjing?

So this unhealthy trend and the disregard of the overall situation are just an excuse. Isn’t this problem lies in Wei Ying’s identity?

The court's refusal to grant Liu Ce the title of king was soon known to all the military and civilians in the three provinces of the Wei River. Within half a month, the news would spread everywhere and reach the northern Far East and Yongzhou.

Regarding the news that the court refused to be king by Liu Ce, the bureaucrats, military and civilians under Liu Ce were indignant, believing that the court's move was really too much. If it weren't for the security departments in various places that shocked and maintained public order, a massive "multi-person movement" in the Zhou Dynasty would have been launched throughout the North.

Since Liu Ce did not allow himself to express his dissatisfaction in public, the military, civilian and bureaucrats naturally pointed the finger at Wei Ying, who came to Yuzhou with Xu Wenjing. Wei Ying's vain personality just became a breakthrough for officials and the army to point out the mulberry and scold the locust.

Poor Xu Wenjing, she was just a person who took the blame throughout the whole process, but he didn't care. There was no difference between him or not...

But in order to ease the conflicts between all parties, Liu Ce could only call Xu Wenjing to "punish" and repeatedly promised that even if the Han Dynasty court did not allow it, he would continue to do it himself.

After Xu Wenjing arrived at Liu Ce's office, she had not yet bowed, but saw Liu Ce with one hand pillow, looking at a letter on the table, and pointed his other hand at a box next to him: "This is a documentary book that various military camps and officials from all over the Yuzhou area impeach you for being extravagant. Do you want to take a look at it yourself?"

Xu Wenjing glanced at the box, smiled and bowed, "I just follow the instructions of the King of Han. I believe that with the wisdom of the King of Han, I will not mislead the overall situation by these trivial matters."

Liu Ce gently patted the letter in front of the table, raised his head and looked at Xu Wenjing. The gaze from his sharp pupils made Xu Wenjing feel very uncomfortable.

After a long time, Liu Ce sighed, put away his sharp eyes, stood up and walked down the main case, slowly walked to Xu Wenjing, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you know why I came to you today?

Do you think I will call you for those little things about the slightest things? Xu Wenjing, what did you do when you go to God this time? It’s best to explain to me honestly..."

Xu Wenjing's eyes rolled and said hurriedly: "Report to the King of Han, my subordinates went to the gods just as you ordered and sent you to the court for the King of Han, but the court did not accept it, so my subordinates could only come back and reply.

As for the princess, I have told you before that I was saved by chance. There is nothing else except that. I wonder why the King of Han suddenly asked me about this? I feel very puzzled..."
