However, this was the last condition that he could get.
As long as she didn’t die, she still had the hope of regaining her freedom.
“Good. I’m sure you won’t be able to go back on your words since you’ve said it in front of the entire Army.” Miao Yin readily took out several secret letters from her bosom and said, ” this is all confidential information given to us by Zhou bendao. You can compare the handwriting to confirm if it was written by him.
Although there was no pen on the secret letter, it was difficult to imitate a person’s handwriting.
If he looked carefully, he would definitely be able to distinguish it.
Li Linlin was overjoyed. He took it and opened it. He looked at it under the sun for a long time and laughed,”It is indeed Zhou bendao’s handwriting!”
He glared at Zhou bendao and sneered,”anything else to say?.”
Zhou bendao’s face was ashen. There was even a secret letter, there was no way to quibble.
He raised his head and stared at Miao Yin, but it was not hatred, but endless surprise. “Who are you? The secret letter is for a commander of huanghun. How are you qualified to hold it in your hand?”
The secret letter was a secret item that only the commander could keep.
However, with Miao Yin’s identity, how could she carry it with her, and not just one letter!
Miao Yin remained silent and quietly hid behind Xia qingchen.
Zhou bendao had already accepted his fate. He looked up at the sky and sighed, “”My life is over!”
In the end, his gaze landed on Xia qingchen with a complicated look. “I’ve laughed arrogantly my entire life, but I didn’t expect to fall into the hands of a junior like you.”
If it wasn’t for Xia qingchen capturing Miao Yin, the military Palace wouldn’t have any absolute evidence, and he might not have died.
But because of Xia qingchen, everything had turned into ashes.
Xia qingchen spoke indifferently, ” you’ll only get burned if you play with fire. If the commander wants to scheme against you, you’ll die sooner or later. Even if I don’t exist today, there will be others tomorrow.
Zhou bendao laughed in a hoarse voice.
How could he not know?
Even if there was insufficient evidence today, the commander would still think of all ways to bring him to justice.
It was just that Xia qingchen had made this process a little faster.
“Young heroes.” Zhou bendao’s small eyes gradually widened, “”In the past, I was like you. I wanted to make a name for myself in the military Palace. I wanted to guard the border and kill enemies. I wanted to be loyal to the country.”
but the reality is cruel. I’m just a nobody. If I don’t rely on the Yu family, I’ll never be able to rise up. Zhou bendao said.
Which young man didn’t have the ambition to serve the country, and which one of them didn’t have hot blood?
However, their original intentions were gradually worn away by the cruel reality, and they became people who went with the flow.
And he, under the control of the Yu family, was walking into the abyss step by step.
“Brat, I’ll admit defeat in your hands!” Zhou bendao took out a metal item with a plum blossom imprint and tossed it to Xia qingchen.
The latter rolled up his sleeves and warily caught it.
Zhou bendao raised his head and said, ” if the Yu family can help my family after I die, then this item will be useless. But if you don’t, take this to the coffin shop in the Northwest of Liangzhou city and give it to an old man who is showing off coffins. He will give you a surprise.”
Eh?
Xia qingchen’s gaze changed, and Li Lin could tell the deeper meaning behind it. He immediately said, “”Check his body and prevent him from committing suicide!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou bendao spat out a large amount of black blood. His throat was also rotten, and black blood spurted out.
It turned out that he had committed suicide knowing that his fate was near.
Li Lin sighed but didn’t stop him.
Perhaps, this was the situation that the commander wanted to see the most.
After all, Zhou bendao was trained by the Commander-in-Chief, so how could he bear to order his death?
Li Lin cast a glance at the imprint of the plum blossom in Xia qingchen’s hand. He hesitated for a moment before shifting his gaze away, pretending not to have seen it.
“Thanks to you, we were able to quickly convict Zhou bendao.” Li Lin glanced at Xia qingchen. When his gaze shifted to the woman behind him, his gaze instantly turned sharp. “I hope you can hand this woman over to the military Palace to deal with.”
Xia qingchen could clearly sense that Miao Yin’s body trembled and she clutched the back of his clothes.
After pondering for a moment, Xia qingchen shook his head. no. I’ve already promised to spare her life.
Li Lin said, ” you should have heard Zhou bendao’s words before he died. This woman’s identity is very likely to be extraordinary. If you protect her, it might affect your future.
Xia qingchen didn’t think much of it and said calmly, “”If killing more than 100000 enemies is only offset by protecting the enemy once, then I would rather not have such a military Palace.”
If it was someone else, Li Linlin would not bother to waste his breath and would have already ordered them to be captured.
However, he truly admired Xia qingchen.
After a moment of silence, he said,”okay, this woman will stay with you for the time being. However, when you return to the city protection Legion, you must ask the commander at once and let him make the decision.”
“No problem,” he said. Xia qingchen nodded.
After that, Li Linlin made an inventory of thousands of elite soldiers. After educating the ordinary soldiers, they were reorganized. The leaders of the hundred-strong cavalry were all detained and awaiting interrogation.
The matter had come to an end.
However, at this moment, the sound of their own siren came from the foot of the mine.
It wasn’t a battle alarm, but a sign of the enemy’s movement.
Not long after.
Under the surveillance of hundreds of patrolling soldiers, a soldier with the flag of the zhongyun territory on his back came to Li Linlin.
“I’m here to exchange hostages under the orders of chonglan, qianren Qi of our Army.”
Hostage?
Li Lin was slightly surprised. But when the soldier took out a walking stick, his expression finally changed.”Oh no, how could I have forgotten about her?”
The corners of Xia qingchen’s lips twitched.
They had been so busy with the war that they had completely forgotten about Alliance master Ouyang and the two high-level members of the weapon Alliance!
After Alliance master Ouyang had confirmed that the Yi mo mine was real, he couldn’t wait to go to the scene to investigate.
When the war broke out, the Army of zhongyun territory had attacked first. Alliance master Ouyang and his two companions, who were investigating, were caught on the spot before they could escape.
They were swept away by the fleeing Army, and their identities were not confirmed until later in the zhongyun territory.
Li Lin Lin’s expression was extremely serious. Alliance master Ouyang was not only the Alliance master of the tool Alliance, but also the chief appraiser of the yimo mine in the house of the Prince of Liang.
If anything were to happen to her, Prince Liang would be enraged and the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Who do you want to exchange?” Li Lin’s eyes flashed as he asked.
He was very surprised.
It was impossible for the people in the middle cloud realm not to understand the significance of Alliance master Ouyang to the cool realm. It could be said that he was an important figure in the appraisal of the yimo ore.
The zhongyun territory was going to release her in exchange for a hostage?
The emissary glanced at Miao Yin, who was behind Xia qingchen, and said, “”Exchange some of the captives.”
A captive?
the 10 Qian mingqi and 10 Bai xiaoji from the Huang heavenly group are all our men, ” the messenger said. the female soldier you captured earlier is also one of us.
Li Lin Lin was secretly happy. These captives were dispensable to the Liang realm. It was great that the Zhong Yun realm was willing to use them to exchange the sect master of the Jade exchange Alliance.
“Of course you can!” Li Lin Lin agreed without hesitation.
then, Sir, please take the captives. We’ll exchange hostages at the foot of the mine. The messenger heaved a long sigh of relief.
Li Linlin immediately brought back the hundred plus captives he had just taken in. When he glanced at Miao Yin, who was beside Xia qingchen, he said, “”Do you have any objections to returning her?”
