Chapter 284.2
After the investigation team from Great Wu left the capital city, the team leader turned to a plain-looking individual beside him and asked, Whats the situation?
Despite his unremarkable appearance and mediocre martial arts skills, this person is a remarkable and unusual talent.
The so-called remarkable and unusual talents refer to those with unique abilities.
Although these individuals may not excel in martial arts, they often play crucial roles at critical moments.
Every country with some depth of heritage nurtures such people.
Great Xia, where Lin Beifan was from, also had a group of such people.
Yuan Tiangang and Ni Pusa, who could see the will of heaven and avert disaster. The Heavenly Dog Divine Detective, with a nose more sensitive than a dogs. The three generals Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong, who could bewitch thousands of troops. The foremost Feng Shui master Eight Master Hu. The grave diggers Wu Xie and Wang Pangziall were considered unique and exceptional individuals.
As one of the top four empires in the world, the Great Wu Empire had a profound heritage and naturally had such individuals.
This person was one of them, known as Xinyan (Insight) because he had a skill called Mind Insight, which allowed him to see through peoples hearts and distinguish the truth from lies in their words. This ability is particularly effective in investigations.
Under everyones gaze, the man shook his head: None of them are lying.
Good!
The team leader nodded, It seems that the disappearance of the Seventh Prince has little to do with them! According to what they said, His Highness the Seventh Prince indeed had some unpleasant experiences in Great Xia. We will now go to Great Xia to understand the situation!
The group crossed the national border and headed towards Great Xia.
Before long, they met with Great Marshal Chai Yuxin and others within the territory of the former Great Yan Dynasty.
We have come here concerning the Seventh Prince! His unexplained disappearance has caused His Majesty great anxiety, so he has specifically commanded us to investigate! Previously, the prince had come here and had some unpleasant incidents with your Great Xia. His disappearance might be related to this, so we hope you will cooperate to find out the princes whereabouts! the team leader said in a cold tone.
Chai Yuxin furrowed her brows.
Originally, she agreed to meet with the other party because she wanted to get to the bottom of the situation.
After all, Great Xia had been unjustly saddled with a huge blame, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable in their shoes.
However, the condescending tone of the other party also irked her.
She couldnt help but sneer, Dont talk to us with that tone. We are subjects of Great Xia, and we have nothing to do with your Great Wu. You have no right to order us around! Besides, what does the life or death of your prince have to do with Great Xia? If we choose to help you, its out of goodwill. If we dont, what can you do about it? If you continue to be unreasonable, we will have no choice but to show you out!
Thats right. We are subjects of Great Xia. We dont have to listen to you!
Well cooperate if we want to, and we wont cooperate if we dont want to. What can you do about it?
Dont think youre something special just because you come from Great Wu. Were not buying it!
Everyone started to make a commotion, showing no respect.
How dare you be so disrespectful! A young man from the Great Wu side stood up, drew his sword, and glared angrily.
Stop, stand down! It was the leader who stepped in and stopped him.
He looked deeply at the people of Great Xia, bowed his head with his hands clasped, and with an apologetic tone, said, I have offended you just now! Its mainly because His Highness has gone missing, and the Emperor is very anxious. We, as his subjects, share his urgency, which leads to our impulsiveness and offense all present. Here, I offer my apologies, hoping you can forgive the oversight!
Chai Yuxin also calmed down, looking at the other party with a newfound respect.
This was a person capable of bending and standing tall, no wonder he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Great Wu Emperor.
Chai Yuxin pointed to the seats nearby, Please sit. Lets talk while we sit.
Thank you, Marshal Chai, and thank you everyone!
They sat down and began the investigation process.
With questions and answers exchanged, time passed quickly.
About half an hour later, they got up to leave.
Thank you, Marshal Chai and all the heroes, for your hospitality and assistance! Unfortunately, we have an important mission and must take our leave now. Well invite you all for a drink another day! The leader said politely.
Chai Yuxin nodded understandingly, We wont see you out. Take care!
Goodbye!
After leaving the military camp, the leader asked the guy by his side, How is it?
The person shook his head, They didnt lie either.
It really has nothing to do with them! The leader nodded as if it was not beyond his expectations.
But Master Liu, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was Great Xia who acted treacherously
Such rumors from the rivers and lakes are just that, rumors. Great Xia has no reason to do such a thing! Just now, we had this guy take a look, and it confirmed our suspicions. However, the rumor started spreading as soon as His Highness disappeared. There must be someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes, trying to provoke a conflict between the two Empires! The disappearance of His Highness might be related to this! The leader narrowed his eyes.
The others nodded in agreement.
But this tactic is too crude and full of flaws! one of them said.
If it were me, I would definitely dump the body within Great Xias territory if I had killed His Highness. Preferably near a military camp, and then accidentally let it be discovered by outsiders!
Then, I would fan the flames from behind, making a big fuss about it! In this way, Great Wu would be forced by the situation to stand against them whether or not Great Xia was responsible!
Not like now, where not even a body can be found, leaving only baseless rumorswho would believe that?
The leader nodded, You make a lot of sense. Perhaps they encountered some unexpected problem! So, whether His Highness has met with misfortune or not, our most important task now is to find him alive or his remains!
Just then, someone came running over in a hurry.
The body of His Highness has been found!
