Chapter 280 282 Yang Chao's Reluctance
"What a joke! Ji Cunxi is my right-hand subordinate. What reason do I have to attack him? There is no evidence at all. Don't talk nonsense. Seeing you so anxious, I am a little suspicious. What is your relationship with Rong Xianxian?" Yang Chao walked forward while bickering with Zhuo Xingcan.
"It's none of your business what kind of relationship I have with others. When I suspect you, you say you have no evidence. You suspect Rong Xianxian, do you have any evidence? If you have evidence, just show it! Just because they have a grudge against each other, this reason is probably untenable!" Zhuo Xingcan said without giving in.
"Report!" Yang Chao shouted loudly.
"Come in." Wen Qing heard the two people quarreling early in the morning.
Zhuo Xingcan and Yang Chao entered Wen Qingming's tent one after another.
"Chief of Staff, Ji Cunxi, the platoon leader of the third platoon of the heavy artillery company... was killed. Although Ji Cunxi had just joined our team for more than a month, he had made many military achievements and had faced the enemy alone many times and lured and killed monsters. He grew from an ordinary soldier to a qualified officer with real combat exploits. He was killed today. I hope that the chief of staff will uphold justice, catch the murderer, and comfort the dead soul." After saluting, Yang Chao stood in front of Wen Qingming, full of grief, and said in a choked voice.
Zhuo Xingcan curled his lips, "Why didn't Captain Yang Chao mention how many lives Ji Cunxi had killed with his strange weapon before he joined the army? It was well known in the civilian groups at the time. How could such an executioner with blood on his hands be qualified to join the army? And he was promoted step by step!"
"That's because he didn't understand the weapon at the time and it was an unintentional mistake. After discovering the problem, he never hurt anyone again and he also provided a positive compensation plan. The families of the victims at the time have accepted the settlement. Why are you bringing this up now? Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue, not to mention that it was just an unintentional mistake!" Yang Chao defended angrily. At that time, Wen Qingming did not agree with Ji Cunxi becoming a soldier. It was Yang Chao who gave Ji Cunxi advice, fought bravely, performed actively, and saved many soldiers' lives. Yang Chao also joined forces with two other company commanders to vouch for him, and only then did Ji Cunxi join the army.
"No matter what, he joined our team. His tragic death for no reason is a challenge and humiliation to the dignity of our army. We must find out the truth." Yang Chao said righteously.
"What do you mean by tragic death for no reason? He was clearly killed by the backlash of his own magic sword. I'm not the only one who saw the corpse. Ask the other soldiers what they think?" Zhuo Xingcan said impatiently.
"You keep saying that Ji Cunxi was killed by the backlash of his own weapon, so where is the murder weapon? Where is the murder weapon? Shouldn't we investigate such important evidence?" Yang Chao said again.
"Report." Ning Qingtian's voice.
"Come in." Wen Qingming rubbed his head which was buzzing from the noise from Yang Chao and Zhuo Xingcan.
"I haven't slept well these days, so please speak more quietly!" Wen Qingming rested one elbow on the table and rubbed his temples with the other hand, saying weakly.
Wen Qingming had spent the past few days in Taijing'an District too comfortably. After setting off again, his body couldn't stand the bumpy ride and he missed the capital a little.
Ning Qingtian looked at the two people who looked like fighting cocks and said, "Chief, what happened? There was a violent explosion over there in the civilian convoy. Has the officer who went to investigate the situation returned?" Ning Qingtian had just finished speaking when another voice of report came from outside the military tent.
"Come in." Wen Qingming sighed inwardly. It seemed that he would have no time to rest tonight.
"Reporting to the commander, Shao Ming, the squad leader of the fourth squad of the first platoon of the heavy artillery company, reports to you that the camp where the explosion occurred on the civilian side was a camp of a small group of seven people. When the explosion occurred, the parties involved reacted quickly and evacuated in one of the vehicles. The other vehicle was damaged in the explosion and there were no casualties. When we scouted the explosion site, we found that the violent explosion was caused by a high-explosive rocket routinely equipped by the army. According to the parties involved, they followed the trajectory of the artillery shell to find the perpetrator who fired the high-explosive rocket, and found the used rocket launcher and another complete rocket launcher at the scene." Shao Ming reported clearly.
"How come civilian groups have rocket launchers? Qi Feng, count the weapons in the armory, especially the rocket launchers." Wen Qingming said with a grim expression.
"Yes." Wen Qingming's adjutant, who had remained silent, took the order and left.
"Chief of Staff, there are people in the civilian team behind us who are holding weapons that can cause huge damage. This is a big hidden danger to the safety of our mission target. After all, they are behind us and so close to us. We have almost no defense in the rear, especially when resisting monster attacks. I suggest that we take advantage of this explosion to conduct a thorough search of all the teams behind us to check for hidden dangers and ensure safety." After hearing Shao Ming's report and seeing Wen Qingming's reaction, Yang Chao suddenly had an idea and proposed.
Ji Cunxi's death was strange and bizarre. Without solid evidence, it was useless for him to doubt it. After all, they were known as mercenaries to the outside world, and they had always turned a blind eye to the civilian teams in the rear and let them do whatever they wanted. The relationship between the two sides was very delicate. Under such a relationship, if they wanted to search the civilian teams in the rear without any basis, it would only cause an uproar among the civilian teams in the rear, and the chief of staff would not agree.
But the knife disappeared without a trace, and Yang Chao was very unwilling to accept this. That knife could speed up people's cultivation and turn ordinary people into geniuses, so of course he was tempted.
After Ji Cunxi's father died tragically, he had nowhere to go, and many people were secretly eyeing the knife. Ji Cunxi knew that with his strength at the time, he could not keep the knife, not to mention it could bring him death at any time, so he reached an agreement with him. He would ensure Ji Cunxi's safe arrival in the capital, help him join the army, and have a place to settle down, and Ji Cunxi would give him the knife.
However, at that time, Yang Chao's blood had already dripped onto the knife, and there was a certain connection between the knife and Yang Chao's blood, but he was unable to control and use the knife.
After research, the two discovered that there was a special connection between the knife and Ji Cunxi. It was a spiritual connection, similar to a soul contract.
Yang Chao was very unhappy at the time, but he could do nothing about it. For this reason, he ignored Ji Cunxi for a while. Until one day, Ji Cunxi ran to him excitedly and told him that he had found a way to cancel the soul contract. After the sickle was upgraded, the soul contract would be automatically canceled.
The method to upgrade the sickle-shaped knife is very simple. You only need to devour enough essence, blood, and soul to upgrade it. Later, Ji Cunxi secretly attacked and killed the lone people in the civilian team behind him many times, and Yang Chao had been covering for him.
