Chapter 306 Ghost
Old Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll do less next time."
It was the first time that Butler Mu and his companions followed her to the Ministry of Justice for dinner. They were a little reserved at first, but gradually relaxed.
He also talked to Tian Hong and others about his time as a soldier.
Lu Heyu looked at them with a smile: "It's rare for someone to talk to them about what happened on the battlefield."
"Speaking of the battlefield, I have to go to the border to find Duke Chi later." Su Nuobai said while eating.
There are shrimps in today's meal. She likes to eat them but doesn't like to peel them.
Lu Heyu washed her hands, rolled up her official uniform sleeves and started peeling shrimps, putting the peeled shrimps into her bowl.
"Is there something wrong?"
"They said there are a lot of ghosts at the border, and asked me to go and see if there is any news to bring back?" Su Nuobai ate the shrimp in the bowl with joy in his eyes.
"Not really. The surrounding countries have been quite peaceful recently." Lu Heyu put a peeled shrimp into her bowl.
"Okay, then I'll go see what's going on." Su Nuobai said and looked up at the sky outside.
"There will be showers in the evening, and I'm afraid it will rain for the next few days."
Lu Heyu looked outside and said, "It's good to have rain. Spring rain is as precious as oil. I hope we have a good harvest this year."
Only after Su Nuobai was full did he put down his hands and stop peeling shrimps.
"Oh! Lord Lu, please peel the shrimp for me personally." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
"It's a matter of convenience, so there's no question of whether it's troublesome or not." Lu Heyu smiled and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then washed his hands with soap beans.
Su Nuobai stood up: "I've eaten and drunk enough, it's time for me to go to work."
Butler Mu had finished his meal long ago and was chatting with the idle yamen runners. He only prepared to go back with her after she had finished her meal.
Lu Heyu came out after washing his hands and saw them preparing to leave: "Are you going back?"
"Let's go back." Su Nuobai said as she grabbed his wrist and combed his meridians again. He felt much better now than at the beginning.
Lu Heyu looked at her loosened hand and suddenly felt an impulse to grab it.
But in the end, he endured it and retracted his fingers that had already been extended a little.
Su Nuobai sent them back and only took the calligraphy to the border guarded by Duke Chi through the ghost way.
The soldiers on duty outside the barracks were startled when they saw the two people suddenly appear: "Who are you?"
"Su Nuobai from the Gui tribe." Su Nuobai said, throwing the badge in his hand to the soldier: "I want to see Duke Chi."
As soon as the soldier saw the badge in her hand, he immediately ran into the barracks.
Soon, a tall, burly, middle-aged handsome man appeared at the gate of the military camp: "Are you Lord Su from the Gui Department?"
"Greetings, Duke Chi." Su Nuobai smiled faintly.
"It's my son who has caused you a lot of trouble." Duke Chi said with a smile.
"It's not really a problem, it's just that Prince Chi has a special fate." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
Duke Chi led her into the military camp and said, "I will consult Lord Su later, but first I would like you to go and see what the ghost outside is about."
Su Nuobai nodded and followed him to the top of the city wall.
Standing here, you can see countless ghosts wandering in the dark, as if they are looking for something aimlessly.
"Lord Su, what on earth are these things?" Duke Chi still felt a little uneasy when he looked at these things.
As they were talking, they saw a black shadow rushing towards them, but it disappeared in a moment.
This actually scared the soldier next to him so much that he fell to the ground.
Su Nuobai glanced at him and said, "Don't be afraid. They are just bored and want to tease you."
"Ah!" The soldier got up from the ground: "You're teasing us in the middle of the night!!"
"Lord Su, what?" Duke Chi looked at her and asked.
"These are the ghost soldiers left on this battlefield. There have been many battles, big and small, here in the past, and many soldiers have died. Over time, some who were reluctant to leave became ghost soldiers."
"Originally you couldn't see them, but because so much Yin energy has gathered, their figures have become visible."
"They are also the ones who gave their lives for this land. They are unwilling to leave because they still can't forget the horrors of the battlefield."
Su Nuobai explained to them.
Duke Chi sighed, "The battle was not a battlefield of corpses. I just hope there will be less war in the world."
"Lord Su, could you please help them to be liberated?" He bowed to Su Nuobai.
"Duke Chi, there's no need to do this. I would have done the same even if you didn't tell me." Su Nuobai touched Mo Bao's depressed little head.
I’m afraid this little guy will have no snacks today.
Su Nuobai made seals with his hands and recited the "Sutra of Saving People".
Rays of light golden light flew out of her mouth and fell onto the black shadow in the distance.
Duke Chi and the others saw that the shadows had lost their original blurry appearance and could already make out the faces of those in front of them.
They stood there, wearing tattered armor with sword marks on it, and there were traces of uncoagulated blood on their faces.
His hair was a little messy, and he held a long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firmly looking at the position outside the city wall.
The soldiers in the barracks ran up at some point and stood on the city wall, looking at the ghost in the distance.
Before they knew it, their eyes had turned red and tears were streaming down their cheeks.
Duke Chi looked at these ghosts. They were all soldiers of their country. Even when they were dying, they still held their weapons tightly in their hands.
What they are looking at is not themselves, but the homeland they once gave their lives to protect.
"Go! The place you are guarding is doing well now, with good weather, peace and prosperity!" Su Nuobai's voice sounded soothing.
A bright smile appeared on the ghost soldier's solemn face.
This made the generals and soldiers including Duke Chi wipe away their tears.
The Ghost Gate opened, and golden rays of light flew in, giving the originally eerie and terrifying Ghost Gate a different kind of sacred feeling.
The last ghost soldier was a fifteen-year-old boy. He looked at Su Nuobai and said, "Everyone is fine, right?"
"Yes, everyone is fine." Su Nuobai replied with a smile.
The ghost soldier smiled, turned around and walked towards the ghost gate.
The gates of hell closed again, and the wilderness, once filled with ghosts, welcomed the first rays of sunlight.
Su Nuobai looked at the soldiers crying quietly. Who said that men don't shed tears easily? It's just that they haven't been sad enough.
Duke Chi raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face: "Master Su, if you are not in a hurry, please sit down for a while before leaving."
"Okay, there's no need to rush." Su Nuobai smiled and followed Duke Chi to where he lived.
He also sent people to call the generals in the army to come over and let Su Nuobai take a look.
"Master Su, what's going on with my Xiaoye?" Duke Chi couldn't return to the capital without an imperial edict, and he learned all about it from his wife's letter.
However, the border and Shengjing City are far away, and they will miss a long time going back and forth.
