C111 Scared You to Death

Yu Longzi paced back and forth in the study. He had lost too much in this round. He had failed Minister of Justice and Xun Yu, but Yu Longtang's move was silent. For a moment, he was unable to parry it.

Not only did it cause him to lose the Ministry of Works, it also made the Emperor suspect that he was suspicious. This was the key point. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness." Mu Ruxuan knocked lightly outside the door and called out tentatively.

"What is it?" Yu Longzi's tone was not very good.

Mu Ruxuan was more or less used to it, and her voice became gentler. "There is a letter here for His Highness."

"Come in." Yu Longzi frowned. At this time, who would send a letter to me? When he saw Mu Ruxuan, he tried to pretend to be gentle. "Who sent it?"

"Princess Chu.." Mu Ruxuan's expression was a little unnatural. When she handed it to Yu Longzi, she deliberately glanced at him a few times.

This was just a few glances. Yu Longzi was sure that she had never looked at it before, and his tone was somewhat satisfied. "Fortunately, my beloved concubine has suffered. You can go down first."

"Alright, His Highness should also rest early." Before Mu Ruxuan left, she said another sentence. The hidden meaning was, I will wait for you in the room. Yu Longzi returned her a smile.

"Wait." He was the only one in the study. He hurriedly opened the envelope, and what entered his eyes was Mu Ruqing's delicate handwriting.

Without any extra words, he first wrote down what happened at the post house to transport the armor and armaments.

Yu Longzi saw the murder and robbery of those escort officer members. When he saw this, he knew that this was Yu Longtang's plan. He wanted to use the time when all of them had gone to hide the gemstones. He would knock out the people in the other room, and then replace the armor and weapons.

Escort officer was in a state of excitement, so he naturally did not notice. The scene of escort officer's return appeared in his mind along with the words.

The official escorting the gemstone hurried back to the place where the gemstone was hidden, but he could not find it no matter how hard he tried.

Everyone was suspicious of each other. The one who was most suspected was escort officer. However, after the stones were hidden, none of the 34 people left alone. If it was more than a quarter of an hour, then the suspect would be eliminated. However, it was possible that someone had delivered the letter to the people outside. They had come to transport the things away.

And that was what they believed. Although they didn't dare to do anything to escort officer for the time being, the suspicion in their hearts was getting bigger and bigger. The way they looked at escort officer was getting worse and worse.

Escort officer did not explain anything. He was their superior, so why would he need to explain to his subordinates? Furthermore, he did not do such a thing.

Escort officer instructed everyone to carry torches and search the forest.

Not long after, there was a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. The rest of the people rushed over. One of their brothers was lying on the ground, and the smell of death and urine came along with the wind.

Someone used a torch to illuminate the place. That person's eyes turned white, and his eyeballs protruded out. His mouth was wide open, and his jaw was pulled to the maximum. It was obvious that he was scared to death.

Everyone was somewhat panicked. What was it that could scare a trained soldier to death?

Although escort officer was still a little confused and scared, he could not show it. He could only calmly arrange for another search. This time, there were two or three people in a group.

The rest of them had already suspected escort officer. Now, one of their brothers had died. escort officer still had a leisurely and caring look on his face. In his heart, he was the one who had taken all the treasures. He ordered his men to secretly transport all the treasures away, and then kill the rest of the people tonight. So that he could keep all the treasures for himself.

Money can make ghosts push the mill, not to mention that kind of wealth, the doubts in everyone's heart became heavier and heavier!

"Ah."

"Ghost!"

It was another pig slaughtering cry. Because they were far away this time, only those who were close could hear that by the time four or five people rushed over, they were already dead, exactly the same as the one who died just now.

Four or five people held torches with their backs to each other, vigilantly looking at the dark surroundings.

"Mine!" "Mine! '"

Sharp and sad screams came from above the heads of the five people. Their voices surrounded the five people. Sometimes they sounded like a woman, sometimes like a child, and then they turned into an old man. When they turned in another direction, they became a man.

The screams kept coming. There was only one thing in common. Every voice was terrified, hoarse, threatening, heavy and angry. They stopped crying and crying.

"That's my gem! Whoever takes it will die!"

The torches held by the five of them all began to tremble. It was unknown whether they were cold or scared. After a while, the sound disappeared. The five of them let out a sigh of relief. In an instant, the sound of crying came from all directions. It pierced everyone's eardrums.

A layer of fog suddenly appeared in front of them, surrounding the five of them in circles. They originally thought that it was an illusion, but with a wave of their hands, the fog moved. However, why couldn't they pull back their hands?

"Ah." The thing in the fog was too powerful. That person cried out and was dragged in. The torch fell to the ground.

The four people didn't have time to react before their companions disappeared. They strengthened their courage, and their backs to back became even tighter as they walked towards the direction that person disappeared in.

After walking for a few feet, there was no trace of him. In such a short period of time, what exactly dragged him away without leaving any traces? The more the four of them thought, the more afraid they became. Such a cold day... Their foreheads were still covered in cold sweat, and they nervously swallowed their saliva. Placing the torch in front of their chest, they took smaller and smaller steps.

The four of them backed off. This was the most tacit understanding they had ever had. Without any dialogue, they slowly returned to their original path in an orderly manner.

The person in front of them only took a few steps before he stopped moving. The other three had their backs to him. They then focused on looking in their own direction. Naturally, they did not know what he had encountered. They became anxious and pushed him with their hands, but he did not move. With a dissatisfied mood, he turned around.

Four torches were gathered in front of him. There was a person standing in front of him. It would be better to say that he was floating because he didn't have legs. He just floated in the air like that.

At first, the person in front of him couldn't stop shaking his legs. He became more and more bent, and it seemed like he was about to collapse into a sitting position. The other three people couldn't care less. Their expressions and hearts... They only had fear and repeated all the reactions of the first person.

The person standing in front of them was the person they were most familiar with, their former teammate. That night, the person they killed because of disagreement.

"Kakaka." The sound of bones turning could be heard. That person had his back to them, but his head turned 180 degrees. Perhaps they had forgotten that his neck had long been cut off.

Blood was slowly flowing out, just like the water in a well. There was no end to it. Eventually, his back was completely dyed red. His face was completely revealed to the four of them.

Under his messy hair, his face was covered in blood. Only his eyeballs, which were as white as the whites of his eyes, floated towards the four of them inch by inch.

As soon as he reached his feet, one of them couldn't hold on any longer. His body twitched, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes rolled up. He was actually scared to death.

The three of them were so scared that they lost control of their urges. However, they did not know that the person who was scared to death actually slowly got up.

Just like that ghost, his head turned 180 degrees, and his back faced the three of them. He looked at the three of them with his gray eyes, and the corners of his mouth actually curled up at such a strange angle.

"Ah! Ah!" The remaining three people, one dead, one crawling up, the same action...
