He raised his eyes and scanned carefully, and sure enough he found signs of being searched on the body.
His clothes were messy, his sleeves were turned out, and even his hair was disheveled. Unfortunately, he had been carefully searched.
Scattered around the body were his personal belongings, tokens of the Hateful Immortal, secret cultivation medicine, and accessories.
The most important thing is that Xia Qingchen discovered the money card!
This shows that the person who killed him was not for financial reasons, but had other goals!
Xia Qingchen's heart sank. She went to search her body, but couldn't find any letter!
When the World-Hating Immortal escaped, he must have taken more than one or two letters with him.
Now they are all missing and their whereabouts are unknown.
"Who is it?" Xia Qingchen clenched his fists. Who could predict the escape route of the World-Hateful Immortal in advance and intercept and kill him?
Judging from the deceased's injuries and expression, he was killed by a sneak attack from the front without any precautions.
The murderer must be an acquaintance of the deceased.
Why did he take away the letter? Will it threaten Yue Mingzhu?
While he was deep in thought, Xia Qingchen suddenly caught a glimpse of the deceased's mouth and nose that looked familiar, hidden by his messy hair.
Pulling back the messy hair of the corpse to reveal its true face, Xia Qingchen couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it him?"
When they came out of Liangzhou City, they encountered a Dark Moon ship on the coast that wanted to hijack them.
The person in front of me is one of them.
Unexpectedly, all the crew members died, but this man luckily escaped and ascended to heaven, and has survived to this day.
Staring at him, Xia Qingchen suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"His face..." Xia Qingchen thought for a moment, then pinched two inches of his chin with his fingers, and the mouth of the corpse opened naturally.
Visible to the naked eye is a ball of oil paper the size of a baby in his mouth.
Take out the oil paper and unwrap it to reveal a rolled up piece of paper inside.
After unfolding, Xia Qingchen's eyebrows slowly unfolded.
The person who wrote the note was none other than the purple-eyed demon girl!
The people in the Dark Moon branch paid special attention to the purple-eyed demon girl's letter, so they hid it alone and were not found by the murderer.
"Yue Mingzhu, you really don't make people worry." Xia Qingchen scolded in a funny tone, then read the note carefully.
After looking at it, Xia Qingchen's brows, which had just soothed, wrinkled again.
"Do you really want to go to the end of the dark moon together?" Xia Qingchen murmured.
On the letterhead was a notification letter issued by Yue Mingzhu in the name of the purple-eyed demon girl to all the branch nests in Liang territory.
After receiving the notification letter, the branch hive selected a representative and went to Suoxin Cliff to meet her after five months.
Judging from her appearance, she was preparing to integrate the power of Dark Moon to fight.
Staring at the note in front of him, Xia Qingchen slowly held it in his palm, then his star power vibrated, and when he opened his palm again, there was only a scrap of paper left.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the paper scraps and scattering them in all directions.
One of the scraps of paper was swept backwards by a gust of breeze and fell on a young man in black clothes.
He looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the scraps of paper crushed by Xia Qingchen, his eyes were extremely complicated.
Xia Qingchen noticed something and turned around to see the figures of Gongsun Wuji and Xinyuan.
Gongsun Wuji stared at Xia Qingchen and said, "Why do you want to smash the enemy's letter?"
He just saw it all!
That note was preserved in such a special way, and it was most likely a letter written by the purple-eyed demon girl.
There should be extremely important information inside, but Xia Qingchen actually shattered it.
What is his intention?
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "I have a clear conscience."
He doesn't like explanations, especially when he has nothing to say.
From the perspective of Gongsun Wuji and Xinyuan, it seems that Xia Qingchen killed the person and silenced her, and at the same time destroyed the purple-eyed demon girl's letter to hide her traces.
If you don't want to believe him, no matter how hard you explain, it won't help.
If you believe it, the explanation is redundant.
Gongsun Wuji clenched his fist, and then slowly put it down.
If someone else said this, he would respond with fists and send them to the military court.
But will Xia Qingchen, the righteous young man who single-handedly wiped out the gangsters, join forces with Dark Moon?
He doesn't believe it.
"Just pretend I didn't see what happened here." Gongsun Wuji turned around and walked away on the grass, and said: "Also, I have a surprise for you. I hope you like it."
surprise?
Xia Qingchen was surprised, what is it?
The group carried the body and returned to the court, where they were warmly welcomed by the Northwest Army.
Only in Yu Guitian's tent, his face was as calm as ice.
In front of him, there was a thick stack of letters. He took out one letter from it, without writing it, and there was just a strange symbol on it.
If there is a master here, he will definitely recognize that the handwriting on this envelope is exactly the same as Yu Guitian's.
"I got the letter back." Yu Guitian breathed a sigh of relief and crushed the letter into dust: "If you can borrow a knife to kill people, if you can get rid of Xia Qingchen, it is worth taking the risk to communicate with Dark Moon."
The reason why we separated the nests to know the movements of Xia Qingchen and Gongsun Wuji in advance actually appeared here!
"It's time to give the order to collect Xia Qingchen's body, haha..." Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier said happily: "Sir, good news! Good news!!"
Yu Guitian said expressionlessly: "Speak clearly!"
His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad guess.
"It's a great victory for Master Gongsun and Master Xia, and they successfully destroyed the Dark Moon Branch Nest!" the soldier said excitedly.
Yu Guitian stood there with a stiff expression, afraid of something!
"Xia Qingchen is still alive? I mean, how is he doing?" Yu Guitian was a little unbelievable.
If the Dark Moon Branch Nest prepares an ambush in advance, Xia Qingchen and Gongsun Wuji can win a complete victory.
"Master Xia..." the soldier hesitated.
Yu Guitian's eyes changed, and he thought: "How is he?"
Did something unexpected happen to Xia Qingchen?
"He is fine." The soldier said with a strange look on his face: "The victory report said that Mr. Xia was unharmed."
To be precise, the soldiers who attacked this time actually suffered zero casualties, which was really weird.
Yu Guitian's heart sank heavily. He angrily swept away the letter on the table and shouted: "Get out!"
It was difficult for him to accept that the disaster he had given to Xia Qingchen was resolved by the other party in such an understatement?
His chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time for him to gradually calm down.
"Hmph! I, Yu Guitian, can't kill a little Qianxiaoqi like you?" Yu Guitian said gloomily.
One day later.
Xia Qingchen and Gongsun Wuji returned to the court.
Ten miles away, you can see flags fluttering at the entrance of the camp and gongs and drums rising to the sky, as if to welcome something.
Gongsun Wuji was surprised: "Is the military region too enthusiastic about our bandit suppression operations?"
He admitted that he ordered someone to send back the good news first.
I never expected that the Northwest Army would welcome their triumphant return with such fanfare.
"However, this is better." Gongsun Wuji rode forward and said energetically: "Brother Xia, get ready for the surprise I have prepared for you!"
He had ordered Xinyuan to dye half of the corpses another color, giving half of the credit to Xia Qingchen.
Moreover, in the victory report, he also made it very clear that half of the credit goes to the Yunlan Chapter.
Later, when the military affairs hall announces the victory, Xia Qingchen will be so surprised that he can't open his mouth from ear to ear, right?
(I have something to do tonight, so the remaining four updates will be updated tomorrow morning.)
