Chapter 1212: Misunderstanding Misunderstanding

rabbit and duck wrapped in lotus leaves, the fragrance spread at once.It smells really good, a very unique scent. It's a mix of lotus leaf fragrance and meaty aroma that makes my mouth water."Ding Hu...Xin Wu's strike was both swift and precise. Before anyone could react, the county magistrate found himself with Xin Wu's sword at his throat.

The county magistrate's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. "You... what do you want to do"

At this moment, the county magistrate's men also reacted. They drew their swords and rushed over.

But they were afraid that the county magistrate would be beheaded by this man, so they dared not act rashly.

Yunliu and Shiyi saw Xunwu suddenly make a move. The two subconsciously looked at their own prince, seeing that their own prince was very calm, so the two didn't do anything.

The magistrate was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what the other person was talking about, whether intentionally or not.

Feeling the icy edge of a sword against his neck, he trembled, "I... I don't know what you're talking about Intentional... intentional what"

Xun Wu let out a cold snort, "You intentionally had the scene cleaned up, removing everything from these people's bodies, all to cover up their identities, right"

"...."

The county magistrate's eyes widened in disbelief, "You... you mustn't talk nonsense. This official doesn't know these people, how could I possibly hide my identity for them"

Xun narrowed her eyes, "Is that so Then why destroy the marks on them"

"How is that possible, I haven't even dared to get close to these people, how could..."

Halfway through his sentence, the county magistrate seemed to recall something. He widened his eyes abruptly and turned to someone beside him, "It's him! It was him who told me to handle the scene!"

At first, he only felt nauseated, unable to bear the sight of those gruesome corpses and their bloody remains.

But before he figured out exactly what was going on, he didn't actually intend to rush and clean this up.

Instead, it was the official beside him who suggested that they handle the scene first, to avoid too much bloodshed and causing panic among the people. He also worried that if anyone from the military camp came upon it, they might be frightened by the mess.

He didn't think too much about it at the time. As soon as he heard that someone was coming from the military camp, and that person might even be from King Beijiang, he thought to himself that he couldn't tarnish the eyes of such a noble person, so he agreed to the official's proposal.

But he didn't expect there to be a problem now. It must be that the official had a problem, but if he hadn't remembered wrongly, when handling this, the official had been circling around those charred corpses, checking their bodies with his own hands.

He didn't think much of the official's behavior, assuming he was just checking to see if there was anything suspicious about the group.

At this moment, I realize that the official was suspect. He must have been the one standing before us when he started erasing the markings from the bodies.

Once the magistrate pointed out this official, the official knew he had been exposed and immediately ran away.

Unfortunately, before his leg could even take a step forward, Mo Yunjing's palm already sent him flying. In the next instant, he lay at Yunliu's feet and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Perhaps knowing he couldn't escape, he subconsciously wanted to commit suicide, but he was wrong in the end.

Mo Yunjing hit him to Yunliu's feet with a palm strike precisely to make Yunliu stop his suicidal behavior.

Before he could take his own life, Yunliu had already subdued him. To prevent him from biting his tongue, she was now firmly gripping his cheek and shoving a burnt shoe into his mouth.

"Xunwu had now released the magistrate. He cast a deep look at him, causing the magistrate to shiver with fear. He quickly shook his head and raised his hands, swearing, 'Young hero, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! You have truly misunderstood me, sir. I really didn't know anything.'"

After finishing his words, he turned to Mo Yun Jing and kowtowed repeatedly. “My lord, I truly didn't know! If I had known this person was problematic, I would never have listened to him, nor allowed anyone near these corpses.”

Moyu Jing gave him a cold glance and didn't respond, only looking at Yunliu, "Take them all back."

Yunliu nodded slightly, "Yes."

At this time, Xunwu walked to Mo Yunjing's side and said, "Your Highness, there should be sect marks on these people, but unfortunately they were deliberately erased. Besides, their bodies have been burned so badly that it will be very difficult to confirm their identities."

Mo Yunjing naturally knew this, he faintly hummed, "Let's go back and talk."

Xin Wu looked down at the corpse and shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, I still have something to do."

Mo Yunjing also followed his gaze to look at the corpse on the ground, guessing what he wanted to do. At this moment, she hummed softly, "Be careful."

After nodding slightly to Mo Yunjing, Xu found himself looking at the several brothers from Xuntang Valley he had brought. "You needn't follow me," he said. "Just cooperate with the prince's arrangements. And... see that he is laid to rest peacefully."

He need not name names. The brothers of Xuntang Valley all knew who "him" referred to, they concealed the sadness in their eyes and bowed together, "Yes."

Mo Yunjing helped the county magistrate up and then made all necessary arrangements.

The prefect was so moved that he almost jumped for joy when he saw that the King of Beijang did not blame him.

Fortunately, he hadn't lost control yet and quickly responded respectfully to the King of Beijang.

Not until he saw the figures of the King of Beijiang and the others completely disappear did he collapse directly onto the ground.

The officials beside him saw this and quickly rushed over to help him up, "Sir, are you alright"

The magistrate immediately pushed them away, "You all just saw the Northern Border King's terror. From now on, who dares to give this official those foolish schemes that would have gotten rid of this official's life This official will make sure you accompany me in death."

The officials repeatedly exclaimed that they dared not.

The magistrate let out a cold snort. "Did none of you hear what the King of Northern Border said just now Go fetch water and clean this place up at once!"

All the officials immediately chorused, "Yes."

……

Before Mo Yunjing and the others returned to their camp, they first gave the charred Xintang Valley brother a proper burial.

After returning to the camp, Yun Liu and Eleven personally interrogated the captured man.

Mo Yunjing returned to his own tent. During this time, many Cloud Army generals came and went, apparently discussing military affairs with him.

Such a state lasted for about five or six hours. During this time, Yunliu and the others kept interrogating the man.

They had many cruel methods of interrogation, but today they met a tough nut to crack. No matter how they pressed him, no matter what means they used, the man wouldn't say a word.

He had been tortured for five or six hours by them, and was down to his last breath, but he still didn't utter a word.

Yunliu and Yishi exchanged glances. Yunliu shook his head and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. We can continue later."

At eleven o'clock, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Just as the two turned to leave, the man lying on the ground weakly opened his eyes, a strange smile playing on his lips.planation, An Xue Tang stared at her with an unreadable expression for a long while.Even Ning'er and Shour were worried that An Xuetang would soften her heart after hearing Xiaohong's explanation and...
