"To find the murderer, go somewhere else!" A veteran with a beard and fierce eyes said with an imposing manner, "If you want us to take the blame, there is no way!"
Another veteran with sinister features, his narrow eyes flashed with a bit of coldness: "Xia, don't say that the murderer is not one of us, take a step back, even if it is us, this place is not something you can search if you want.
The place!"
"Don't be unconvinced!" A very tall elder looked down at Xia Qingchen with his head held high: "You really don't have the qualifications to search us!"
The fierce attitudes of several elders not only did not make Xia Qingchen retreat, but made his eyes even colder.
If you weren't feeling guilty, why were you so excited?
It is certain that the murderer is one of the old people!
"I'll say it for the last time, hand over the person." Xia Qingchen spoke loudly, containing determination: "If not..."
The elder with a beard and a beard trembled, his face full of ferocity, he stabbed the demon-conquering pestle in his hand into the ground, and laughed loudly: "What if it's not the case? You ate us?"
He looked fierce: "I'll see what you can do to me today if I don't let you in!"
The other elders all laughed, their faces full of confidence.
If Xia Qingchen leads Lou Nan's army, they will still be afraid of making mistakes.
But Lou Nan's army has all been arranged as a logistics force, and they are all on the road. There are less than a hundred people who can be mobilized by Xia Qingchen, so why should they challenge the old people?
Xia Qingchen's eyes turned cold: "Okay! Since you said so, I will give you an ultimatum!"
"Before noon, the six of you kneel down in front of my tent and bring me the murderer's head!" Xia Qingchen rarely threatens someone, but today is an exception.
The bearded veteran grinned: "Then just give up on this. Even if I die, I won't kneel down to you!"
The other five elders laughed sarcastically and shook their heads.
"This Commander-in-Chief Xia is not very smart. He actually imagined that we would kneel down to him."
"Suddenly I felt that he was very pitiful. The master of the same realm was so anxious that he said harsh words, hey!"
"I think he was scared out of his wits by the assassin and suffered from delusion, right? He asked us to kneel down and hand over the murderer's head? Haha, this joke is a bit cold."
Xia Qingchen stood with his hands behind his hands, glanced around the six of them, and said calmly: "Remember, at noon, you can kneel down and give someone's head, not even a moment later!"
After finishing speaking, he slowly turned around and left in full view of everyone.
As soon as he stepped forward, the crowd started to explode.
"Damn it! Is there anything wrong with Xia Qingchen? Why are you putting down such useless and harsh words? It has no meaning other than making yourself unable to step down!"
"That's right. What do you think? Who is he?"
"The troops that Xia Qingchen relies on the most are all outside, and there are only a few available troops around him! The powerful people he has made friends with, such as the Huang family leader, King Zhongyun and others, are also constrained by their own status, and it is difficult to make enemies with the old people who have a transcendent status."
"What's more, he doesn't have a good relationship with the tombkeepers, the leaders of the Human Alliance. Even if they don't stumble him, they will never help Xia Qingchen find the murderer."
"In a sense, Xia Qingchen is alone in the Human Alliance, with no one who can help."
"Why does he ask the elders to hand over the murderer? Well, or six elders kneeling down to give the murderer his head?"
"The old man who is the least grieved and angry has his nostrils turned upward. Will the high-ranking old man kneel down?"
"I'll go! Is Xia Qingchen so angry that he uttered such words that he couldn't stand down?"
"Hey! It's over, it's over! Xia Qingchen is finally out of his element this time, this slap will definitely hit him in the face!"
…
The news spread throughout the military camp at an alarming speed.
In just one hour, almost everyone knew about it.
First of all, the news of the invasion of the demons two days later greatly stimulated their nerves. At that moment, the hero of the discovery of this information, a commander of the Human Alliance, was assassinated. Everyone couldn't help wondering whether it was the demons.
Secondly, after Xia Qingchen won the reputation of Xia Saosou, people were particularly curious about him. You don't know until you know better that Xia Qingchen has always been the only one to hit others in the face, and every time he was extremely vicious.
This time, it was probably Xia Qingchen who slapped him in the face.
Therefore, this matter has attracted a lot of attention, and it has even diluted the fear of the Human Alliance army about the imminent invasion of the demons to a certain extent.
Not long after Xia Qingchen returned to the military camp, two angry figures broke in.
"Master Xia!"
"Brother Xia!"
The two of them looked anxious, and Yu Gugong got straight to the point and said, "Why are you so impulsive?"
Zhang Xiaofeng's face was full of worry: "Hey! You shouldn't say such things in public, aren't you making things difficult for yourself?"
Xia Qingchen calmly made tea without raising his head: "Why do you see it?"
Yu Gugong said: "Then you still need to ask? Don't you know what situation you are in now? In the Human Alliance, don't expect anyone to help you deal with those old people."
Zhang Xiaofeng sighed deeply, his shoulders slumped: "Even if someone helps, it's useless."
Didn’t you see that the head of the Huang family was slapped by the old people?
In addition to the tombkeepers, well, the great tombkeepers must come forward in person. I'm afraid no one can suppress them.
Xia Qingchen smiled slightly: "I don't need anyone's help. I can handle a bunch of clowns on my own."
Zhang Xiaofeng and Yu Gugong looked at each other, turned around and left the military camp without saying a word.
The former bit his red lips slightly and said, "We must find a way to help Mr. Xia. He has been very kind to us."
In particular, she has the grace to save lives, and the grace to give guidance, as well as the grace to pass on the skills and pass them on.
She can't repay you enough.
Yu Gugong believed deeply: "Brother Xia is in trouble, we can't just stand by and watch. He is really in trouble now."
"It took a lot of effort to establish some prestige in the Human Alliance through spying on intelligence. If he cannot step down today, he will inevitably be ridiculed. This will be very detrimental to his reputation."
"Today, prestige is the most important. As long as the prestige is enough, he may have the opportunity to represent our continent to the legendary Kingdom of God."
The story of the envoy of the Kingdom of God has been spread to everyone, and no one does not want to be favored by the envoy of the Kingdom of God.
"Then it's time for us to help him." Zhang Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said, "Let's divide our forces into two groups and each look for familiar strong men to come forward and invite them to come out."
Yu Gugong was full of confidence: "Okay, I'll find a familiar strong person to come forward!"
The two of them went their separate ways.
Two hours later, there were only two hours left before noon.
Zhang Xiaofeng and Yu Gugong each brought two or three people to meet.
Zhang Xiaofeng saw that the people brought by Yu Gugong were all young people with unfamiliar faces. However, she herself brought two second-rate strong men from the older generation.
"Miss Zhang, is this the strong friend you mentioned?" Among the two old men who followed, one had birthmarks all over the right half of his face. He glanced at the person brought by Mr. Yu and asked on the spot.
Another old man with a goatee and his eyes were rolling: "Miss Zhang, I suddenly remembered that there is still a pot of pills that I have not collected. I will go back and be back soon!"
Seeing that this was not the case, the old man with the goatee immediately backed down. (Updated at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning)
