The soldiers carefully searched every Hu corpse, not missing any clues.
Yan Cheng and Yun Cong'an were talking, and Leng Yan also joined the search team.
Maybe he was lucky or something else, but when he was turning over the body of the Hu leader, a secret letter hidden in his arms caught his attention.
Leng Yan's heartbeat suddenly quickened and his brows furrowed.
He carefully opened the secret letter, and when he saw its contents, his face instantly became solemn.
Yan Cheng noticed something strange about Leng Yan and walked over quickly.
"Leng Yan?"
"Acheng, look."
Leng Yan handed the secret letter to Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng took the secret letter and read it carefully, his brows furrowed more and more.
Yun Cong'an also noticed something was wrong, walked over, and became the third person to read the secret letter. Then he frowned like the previous two.

"This must be told to my father." Yun Cong'an said, holding the secret letter.

Yan Cheng nodded. The Marquis of Zhenbei was the leader of the Northwest Army, and he should be the one to make the decision on such important matters.
They first went to the villagers' village to confirm that the village had not been looted by the Hu people before heading to Xiangcheng.
After returning to Xiangcheng, Yun Cong'an personally went to settle the soldiers who died in the battle, while Yan Cheng and Leng Yan went to see the Marquis of Zhenbei with a secret letter.
After reading the secret letter, the Marquis of Zhenbei pondered for a moment and said:
"This matter is of great importance. We must not act rashly. We must conceal this discovery for the time being and conduct a secret investigation."
Yan Cheng nodded. If the news of this kind of thing leaked out, it might alert the enemy and give the mastermind behind the scenes time to cover up the crime.
