On the day when the Freedom Month ends, Mobei City holds a three-day and three-night celebration as usual, with unlimited alcohol supply.
The people below have fallen into a carnival, drunk and drunk.
The leaders of the corps sat down and divided their interests according to ranking. Arctic Fox was still first, Liuying was second, and Phoenix Beyond was third and fourth. But in the current tense atmosphere, rankings became increasingly unimportant.
.
In the past, Bei Qi went to such occasions, but this year Shen Xingwan still let him go.
Her identity is sensitive, so it would be best if she shows up less frequently on such occasions.
Beiqi was quite happy when he went there, but when he came back his face was visibly ugly.
Shen Xingwan was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
Beiqi has been living in Mobei for so many years, and he can be considered happy and angry, and rarely gets angry.
Bei Qi sat down and snorted coldly, "Zhu Tian's ambition is completely undisguised. What he said today hinted that everyone should choose a side and leave a way out for themselves."
Of course, the only gratifying thing is that no one from the other three groups responded.
Bai Feng's poisonous tongue made him angry on the spot.
Shen Xingwan was silent for a moment and said softly, "Judging from the investigation of the Yan family, Yan Chu has not been close to any royal family in the past few years. If he acts like this, there is either someone behind him or he is preparing to take the throne himself."
This is another one who is competing for the world.
Jiang Shiyilang is obviously not optimistic, "The Regent of Xiling and the Emperor of Nanchu are both young talents with extraordinary abilities. Even Daqi, which is already in decline, is not empty. It is not the turn of the Yan family to take over the world.
Lord."
Shen Xingwan agreed, but since Yan Chu had this idea, he was definitely not unprepared, and it was worth guarding against.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Arctic Fox did a lot of things, and Shen Xingwan received an invitation the next day to attend the celebration banquet.
Shen Xingwan wanted to see what they were up to, but there were other more important things.
In the end, Beiqi went alone.
Shen Xingwan waited in the yard anxiously, ruffling all the fur of the fat cat.
She had almost finished the plate of snacks when Nan Yuan came in with a woman with a cold temperament and said, "Captain, we are back."
The woman cupped her fists and saluted Shen Xingwan, "I have met the leader, I am Lan Die."
These were also among the first batch of people she sent over, those who survived were considered Liuying's top mercenaries.
When something happened to Fu Siye, she was on a mission near the border, so she led the people to the scene first.
The top mercenaries also have the most powerful investigative capabilities, so Lan Die never came back, but stayed at the border to try to find Fu Siye's whereabouts.
She returned this time because she had news but she couldn't make a decision, so she came back to seek advice.
At this time, as long as there is news, it is good news, so Shen Xingwan is particularly nervous.
After staying in the wilderness for so long, Blue Butterfly was visibly tired and thin.
When people arrived, they were not in a hurry. Shen Xingwan said, "Let's go eat and rest first to refresh ourselves, and then we'll elaborate on the news you found."
Landie didn't show any pretense, "The subordinate will step back first."
Nan Yuan gave Shen Xingwan another secret report from the border crossing, and Shen Xingwan read it quickly.
The content is about the current situation at the border. Because Fu Jiajun retreated cleanly, the border fell into chaos for a time.
Beirong, who had been attacking fiercely, suddenly weakened. The two sides fought back and forth, but neither side used their full strength. Slowly, the border border fell into a stalemate, and the people returned to their normal lives.
Shen Xingwan handed the information in his hand to Jiang Shiyilang, "Perhaps Beirong is waiting for a better opportunity. When civil strife breaks out in Daqi, that's when they will invade."
If we call now, Daqi's side is likely to be unanimous, so it's not the best time.
Jiang Shiyilang said, "There are undercurrents surging in several countries. No one is willing to take the lead and take the lead. If they are besieged, they will lose seconds."
So anyway, the situation in the world is stuck in a delicate balance, waiting for an opportunity to break it.
"It's good. This gives us a little more time." Shen Xingwan said.
After dinner, Shen Xingwan was handling things in the study, while Landie had quickly rested and came over.
Lan Die is a neat woman and gets straight to the point when she comes up, "I was the first person to rush to the scene of the accident. According to our investigation and review of the scene, General Fu should have been lured in and fell into a trap.
I led people to search every inch within 200 kilometers of the scene of the incident. I even led people to search inch by inch under the cliff, but I could not find the body of General Fu."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, "So you think people are still alive?"
Landie straightened her back and showed a bit of arrogance in her eyes, "Since you haven't been found by me, then you are still alive."
This is the arrogance of a top mercenary. For a woman to reach such a position, she is absolutely capable.
Lan Die said, "Since there is no body, it means that the person is still alive. There is no news yet that something happened, so I led people to conduct a search again focusing on the scene of the incident."
Landie didn't mention the complicated and laborious process. After experiencing countless failures, she really found the clue.
"Going east from where General Fu's accident occurred, there is a Death Valley. It is said that man-eating mountain ghosts live in it. It is said that people who have entered by mistake over the years have either never come out, or they have lost their arms and legs and become insane."
Lan Die stood up as he spoke, walked to the map hanging in the study, and pointed to the location of the valley, "The last trace of General Fu we tracked disappeared in front of the valley. It is most likely that he entered the valley."
Shen Xingwan raised his head and looked at the location of the valley on the map, "If he entered the valley, he must have been forced to do so. He wouldn't be unaware that his disappearance would cause a big shock."
Lan Die narrowed his eyes and looked a little colder, "It stands to reason that he had gone through a fierce battle and escaped in a hurry with injuries. He should have left many traces."
However, it took a long time for top mercenaries like Lan Die to find some clues.
"You mean someone deliberately erased the traces of what he said?" Shen Xingwan immediately understood the meaning of her words.
Landie nodded, "The only person who can do this well is someone of my own kind, and their abilities are pretty good."
If it wasn't her who went there, but an ordinary mercenary, they might not be able to tell the clues.
In terms of personal ability, Lan Die ranks among the top three on the personal mercenary list all year round.
Shen Xingwan's expression turned cold, "It seems that someone in Mobei is eager to join the game."
Maybe they didn't expect her to be related to Liu Ying. Others had already dug up the accident scene and found nothing.
She was curious whether the mercenaries who took action were using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, or whether they were already tied to other forces.
