Chapter 1112 The Return of the Eight Ghost Riders

Time passes day by day.

Yun Zheng, who was in Jingyang Prefecture, didn't have much to do.

Of course, the main reason is that Tuohuan helps him do many things.

The Eighteen Ghost Riders finally arrived at Jingyang Prefecture today.

After being active in Xiqu for such a long time, the Eighteen Ghost Riders also suffered some losses.

There are only eighty-seven people left out of the full complement of one hundred.

Among them, nine were killed and four were injured.

This time, they brought the four injured people with them as well.

In front of Yun Zheng and Miao Yin, the Eighteen Ghost Riders took off their masks.

Among the ninety-one people in front of him, there are not many people Yun Zheng is familiar with.

"How were the nine people who died settled?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at You Jiu.

You Jiu replied: "They are all buried in Xiqu. There is no tombstone, only a simple grave. But I remember the location of each of them!"

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng nodded: "When we send troops to Xiqu in the future, I will personally take them home!"

"Your Highness, no need!"

You Jiu shook his head and said solemnly: "Before we went to Xiqu, we brothers had already agreed that where we die is where we go! All of us brothers believe that the place where they are buried will eventually be the territory of Daqian!"

Where you die is where you go?

Yun Zheng was silent.

In just a moment, he thought of the one-armed general Du Guiyuan.

Du Guiyuan said the same thing.

"Okay! I respect their choice!"

Yun Zheng nodded slightly and picked up the list next to him, "Lin Gong!"

"exist!"

Lin Gong growled.

"Franciscan."

"exist!"

Ninety-one people responded in unison.

Yun Zheng opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked.

After a moment's silence, Yun Zheng slowly picked up the pen and crossed out Fang Jian's name.

Afterwards, Yun Zheng continued to call the roll.

Those who are alive will answer individually.

For those who died in battle, all the living people will answer together.

Looking at these strong men, Yun Zheng felt both moved and guilty.

The Ghost Eighteen Riders are different from other troops.

Each of the Eighteen Ghost Riders has made great military achievements, but even Yun Zheng himself is unaware of many of their achievements. Due to the special nature of the Eighteen Ghost Riders, he is unable to award these people official positions for the time being.

They may never even be awarded an official position.

Many people have already appeared on the list of dead, and their families don't even know they are still alive.

The only rewards he could give to these people now were gold, silver, food and drink.

After calling the roll, Yun Zheng called out the four injured people separately and said, "After three days, the four of you will withdraw from the Eighteen Ghost Riders and go to the sanatorium in Shuofang to recuperate. I will use you for other purposes later!"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the four of them couldn't help but look gloomy.

Although they had known this result, they still felt upset when Yun Zheng announced the order.

But they knew that the Ghost Eighteen Riders were the unit that carried out the most dangerous missions, and a disabled person would definitely not be able to continue to stay in the Ghost Eighteen Riders and become a burden to their brothers.

"Yes!"

The four of them finally obeyed the order.

"You Qi, You Shi Wu!"

Yun Zheng called out the names again.

"exist!"

The two of them stepped out at the same time.

Yun Zheng took out the written warrant and handed it to the two men: "Early tomorrow morning, you two will take my warrant and rush to the camp of Badong Town. I order you two to select 21 cavalrymen from Li Xiu's cavalry to replace the casualties of his troops. Anyone from Qu Junhou and below can be selected! If there are not enough people there, you can also select from my personal guards!"

"Yes!"

The two men immediately obeyed the order.

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, the Eighteen Ghost Riders will always have only 108 people, each with six people in a team, a total of 18 teams!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order together.

"Youjiu and Youyi stay, the rest of you can go!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, "I have ordered people to book Zuiyue Tower. I will allow you to indulge yourself for three days! Those who are willing to go can go, and those who don't want to go can rest well in the accommodation arranged for you, or just go for a stroll in the city! But remember, no matter what you go to do, if you dare to reveal your identity and the mission you are performing, I will show no mercy!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, many people showed joy on their faces.

They have been carrying out various dangerous missions for a long time and are under high pressure almost every day. It is rare for them to have the opportunity to indulge themselves, so naturally they are unwilling to let it go.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone bowed and left.

"sit down!"

Yun Zheng asked You Yi and You Jiu to sit down and personally poured them tea.

"Your Highness, you can't do this!"

The two of them hurriedly stopped him.

"That's useless!"

Yun Zheng glared at the two of them, then pulled their hands apart. "The rewards I can give you now are limited. Pouring you a cup of tea is nothing! Just think of me as trying to win people's hearts!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two bowed and saluted.

"Okay, sit down!"

Yun Zheng pressed his hands, poured the tea and sat down, "Tell us what you did this year, and when, where and how those brothers who died or were injured died or were injured. Try to be as detailed as possible! You can sort it out first..."

The two nodded gently. You Yi began to organize his thoughts. You Jiu took out the booklet he carried with him and handed it to Yun Zheng: "This is the merit book of some brothers. Please take a look, Your Highness."

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng took the merit book and looked through it with Miaoyin.

You Jiu also began to organize his thoughts.

Yun Zheng read the merit book quickly. Miaoyin would often only read a little bit of a page before Yun Zheng turned to the next page.

Yun Zheng glanced through it briefly and then handed the merit book to Miaoyin to look at carefully.

He doesn't even need to look at this little credit.

Each of the Eighteen Ghost Riders has made a great contribution.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Youjiu and Youyi took turns talking about their experiences over the past year.

Some of what they said was known to Yun Zheng, and some was unknown to Yun Zheng.

They mainly used assassination, alienation, bribery and other means to stir up chaos in Xiqu, and also formed a team to resist Sangjie.

During this period, they encountered many dangers, but they were able to overcome them time and time again with their agility and precise arrangements.

But no matter how they managed to escape danger, they were after all operating in enemy territory and casualties were inevitable.

They talked until dark.

After listening to them, Yun Zheng and Miaoyin couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't go out and have fun tonight."

Yun Zheng stood up slowly. "Stay here tonight and have a simple meal with Miaoyin and me. You can discuss it later. Before dawn, draft the list of captains of the eighteen teams for me!"

"Yes!"

They both stood up and accepted the order.

"Okay, let Shen Kuan take you to take a shower and change clothes first!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently.

Shen Kuan immediately took the two of them away.

After watching them leave, Yun Zheng handed the list in his hand to Miaoyin and said, "Transcribe the identity information of the dead and the disabled and send someone back to Shuofang. Write a letter to Zi'er. The dead and the disabled will all be compensated and rewarded according to the rank of fifth-rank general!"
