The first people that the Dark Dragon Guards paid attention to were naturally their colleagues. They immediately discovered that the captain was "still guarding his chest tightly even in death". When they pulled open his arm, they discovered a dense network of private messages from King Jingnan.
The leader picked it up and started to look through it. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. He felt the temperature around him drop suddenly and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Before they could even recover from the shocking news, they saw someone dressed in the clothes of the Prince of Jingnan's secret guard rushing over.
The visitor was shocked by the corpses all over the ground. When he saw that there were many Dark Dragon Guards lying near his comrade's body, and many Dark Dragon Guards holding knives were standing at the scene, he immediately determined that the incident was related to the Dark Dragon Guards, and waved his knife to force them back a distance.
"What do you mean? You're not going to move without saying anything?!"
The Dark Dragon Guards who arrived first were originally wary of the Jingnan King's Dark Guards, but seeing how brutal they were, they subconsciously drew their swords and started to fight back.
Originally, the King of Jingnan's men were just a little suspicious of each other, but after seeing clearly that the fatal wounds on their comrades were all caused by the weapons of the Dark Dragon Guards, as well as the secret letters that the commander had 'always kept in his arms', they were completely convinced.
The captain who had rushed over immediately had a dark look in his eyes and spoke to the back:
"The Queen Mother has been sending the Dark Dragon Guards to follow us and plot against us. Previously, the commander discovered the Queen Mother's secret letter, so he secretly killed our people. Send a few people back to report this matter quickly, and the rest of you will follow here to cover the retreat!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The queen asked us to follow her only because she was concerned about your safety. It was clearly your people who killed the Dark Dragon Guards because they were afraid of leaking the secrets. Why are you still blaming them?!"
The Dark Dragon Guards had not yet fully recovered from the explosive intelligence. Seeing the situation evolve so quickly, they all turned pale with fear and rushed to stop the messenger.
After all, Prince Jingnan's men had solid evidence in their hands, and seeing how panicked they were, they believed it even more, and they drew their swords and chopped at the people who came to stop them.
"Your prince treated your queen well, who would have thought that you hid so many things that could harm your prince? You are really an ungrateful person!"
"What nonsense! Your Majesty is of noble status, how can you make such presumptuous assumptions here?!"
"A noble person? When she devoted herself to the court officials for power, did she remember her own status?"
"What are you talking about? How dare you slander the queen? You'll be taught a lesson!"
“…”
Both sides were originally filled with anger because hundreds of their comrades had been killed. Now the war was completely ignited, and the fighting became more and more intense and the arguments became more and more fierce. Even the thoughts that they had previously felt that something was wrong were completely washed away by the anger.
Signal flares from both sides continued to fire in the air.
As the 'new evidence' found by both sides was quickly sent back to the capital, more and more people were recruited to join the battle, and the fight became more and more intense.
Sheng Nanxi was lying on a tree branch far away, enjoying the handsome boy's massage of her shoulders and legs while eating popcorn and watching the show. Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction she expected without any surprise, she nodded with satisfaction. She couldn't help but yawn.
"Hmm... I finally understand why many people are used to watching dramas before going to bed. Watching exciting dramas before going to bed does help you sleep~"
"You! Don't you realize what time it is? It's not that you are sleepy because of the show. It's that you watched too much and you don't have the energy to keep going."
Gu Yuancheng looked helpless. Although he was blaming her, his tone was full of affection. He handed her a cup of sour jujube kernel tea, which not only promoted sleep, but also had the effect of strengthening the stomach and digestion.
Sheng Nanxi drank half a cup of wine while leaning on her waist. In the blink of an eye, the two little ones disappeared completely.
…
As the night deepened, the lights in the guesthouse went out one by one. But in the shadows of the corridor, a small figure stood upright.
After a while, a dark shadow floated down beside the figure and replied respectfully:
"Master, the main altar of the Xianyuan Sect was burned down a few days ago. You asked Xuanxiao to lead people to track down the remnants of the Xianyuan Sect. But he was not as skilled as them and lost them."
"What?!" Gu Yuancheng always had everything under control, so he was a little shocked when he heard this.
A few days ago, when Xiao Xier and I searched the Xianyuan Sect's lair, we found that these people were very strange, so we immediately sent people to track them down.
After that, he didn't let go and directly sent Xuan Xiao, the best tracking and hiding guard among the secret guards, to help. Who would have thought that he would be lost!
The kid was indeed much more shrewd than most people, and after a few moments of emotion he regained his composure. He asked Xuan Ying beside him:
"Why are you the one who reported it? Where's Xuan Xiao? How did you get lost? Tell me in detail."
"My Lord, all the people we brought with us suffered heavy casualties, and Xuan Xiao was also seriously injured and is being treated. It is said that the situation was under control at the beginning. Although the opponent's hiding method was very good, Xuan Xiao was very good at tracking, and he still found the opponent's traces from many clues."
"But somehow, after we led our men to a dense forest near the Snow Ridge Basin, the enemy seemed to have vanished into thin air, and there was no trace of him at all."
Speaking of this, Xuanying couldn't help swallowing, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"After that, their memories were sporadic. The brothers who escaped back racked their brains to recall some fragments of memory. It was said that they seemed to have been attacked by a very powerful person. Xuan Xiao knew that the enemy was outnumbered, so he had to escape with his brothers."
"The strange thing is that that memory seems to have been erased. They only remember the fear they felt when facing the enemy. They can't remember who the enemy was or what they did to them. The only thought in their mind is to run back and report the news."
"According to Xuan Xiao's calculations, we have lost about two hours of memory!"
Even though he had recently witnessed the magical powers of the little baby, Xuanying couldn't help but stare, unable to believe how this was done.
Gu Yuancheng was relatively calm and continued to ask, "Have you used up all the pills that Xiao Xier gave you to dispel illusions? Did you find anything suspicious about Xuan Xiao and the others?"
