Over the next few days, Qin Yi and the few people around him moved around the entire Beiyuan Region. They found the remaining five princes and sent them to the capital of the Beiyuan Empire, Beiyuan City.
After sending the princes to Murong Yu, Murong Yu kept his promise and handed the Linyuan Sword to Qin Yi.
With the Linyuan Sword in Qin Yi's hands, the partnership between him and Murong Yu came to an end. As for what would happen in the Beiyuan Empire in the future and what methods Murong Yu would use to convince his brothers to support him, these were not things he should worry about.
After receiving the Linyuan Sword, Qin Yi and the others immediately set off and prepared to leave the Beiyuan Region.
Before leaving, Murong Yu had expressed that he would give them a farewell party, but he had rejected the offer.
Murong Yu was not a simple person. Although he kept his promise and gave the Linyuan Sword to Qin Yi, it was still unknown what he would do after the partnership ended. However, after the end of the partnership, what would he do? Would he plot against them in order to keep their National Treasures? These were all unknown.
After all, the Beiyuan Region was Murong Yu's territory. Even if Qin Yi and the others were powerful, they were still a local tyrant. The most important thing now was to leave as soon as possible.
The Jade Willow Country warship that had been damaged in the ambush against Huang Chengji had also been repaired. After everyone boarded the warship, they immediately set off for the Snow Willow Region.
...
There was still a long distance between the Beiyuan Region and the Snow Willow Region. In addition, although the warship had been repaired, it was difficult to restore it to its original state. Hence, the speed of their journey was greatly reduced. The journey that could have been completed in half a month took them an entire month.
Of course, this also included the time they took to take a detour.
They had suffered great losses on this trip. Only a thousand elite soldiers remained from the ten thousand elite soldiers. If they encountered an enemy attack, it would be quite dangerous.
Moreover, they had severely injured Huang Chengji not long ago. If this guy set up an ambush on their way back, then even if there was a master like Wen Xing on Qin Yi's side, it would definitely not be an easy task to get out of trouble.
For the sake of safety, Qin Yi and the others would rather take a longer route to ensure that they could reach their destination safely.
To be honest, along the way, the nerves of Qin Yi and the others have been tense. When their warship finally sailed into the port, they finally relaxed.
Passing through the military's transmission array, Qin Yi and the rest soon arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
Leng Xingwen, who was not burdened by military affairs, was still dressed very casually, which made him look much more relaxed.
"Brother Qin, congratulations on completing your mission and returning safely."
After seeing Qin Yi, a smile immediately appeared on Leng Xingwen's face. He then said to the surrounding guards, "You can all leave. I want to have a good 'chat' with Brother Qin."
He emphasized the last two words. It was obvious that this conversation would not be as easy as he looked.
After sending the guards away, Leng Xingwen glanced at the people behind Qin Yi.
Qin Yi also turned his head and said, "Go and bring out the captives and hand them over to the people of the Marshal's Mansion to deal with."
Wen Xing and the others looked at Leng Xingwen hesitantly. After a moment of hesitation, they walked away.
"Brother Qin, come in and talk."
After everyone left, the smile on Leng Xingwen's face instantly disappeared. He spoke indifferently, then turned around and walked into the lobby.
Qin Yi did not think much and directly followed him in.
"Qin Yi, let me ask you. How many soldiers of my Jade Willow Country have we lost on this trip to the Beiyuan Region?"
Just as Ning Qiancheng had expected, Leng Xingwen was prepared to use this matter to cause trouble for Qin Yi.
Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "More than eight thousand, nearly nine thousand."
Leng Xingwen frowned and said, "What exactly happened to cause such a great loss? Please explain it to me."
"Marshal Leng, it's not the first time we've met."
Qin Yi chuckled, but his tone was incomparably calm. "You also know that Qin Mo is a straightforward person and does not like to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it. "
Leng Xingwen glanced at Qin Yi and nodded slightly. Suddenly, he said in a slightly cold voice, "Why did you interfere in the internal affairs of another country? Why did you use Jade Willow Country's military forces to help a prince of a small place seize the throne? Do you know how big of a crime this is? "
Qin Yi smiled, his expression still incomparably calm. "I really don't know."
Leng Xingwen swept a glance at Qin Yi and said rather helplessly, "You mobilized troops when you shouldn't have and caused heavy casualties in the army. This is a crime of 'dereliction of duty'! Let's not talk about this for now. After all, when I invited you to join the military, I was the one who gave you the right. However, interfering in the internal affairs of other regions without authorization and influencing the development of other countries. This crime is known as' causing chaos in the country '. Those who commit this crime will usually have their cultivation crippled and be expelled from the country! "
After saying this, he specially observed Qin Yi. But soon, he frowned and said, "Why? Looking at you, you don't seem to be afraid at all?"
Qin Yi smiled. "If being afraid is useful, then Qin Mo really doesn't mind being afraid."
Leng Xingwen rubbed his head and then looked up at Qin Yi. "Can you tell me why you did such a dangerous thing?"
Qin Yi shrugged. "I made an agreement with the prince of the Beiyuan Kingdom. I helped him ascend the throne, and he helped me defeat Huang Chengji."
Leng Xingwen looked deeply at Qin Yi. "Even now, you are still not willing to tell the truth? Even here, you are not willing to be honest with me? Based on my understanding of you, perhaps you really do need to borrow some power from that side to achieve your goal. But after defeating Huang Chengji, you could have borrowed it to come back. Why did you stay there for so long? Half a month ago, Huang Chengji was taken back by the people from the Silver Snow Kingdom. According to the intelligence they sent back, you only lost about two thousand soldiers. This news has already spread throughout the entire military. But when you came back, you only brought back a thousand soldiers. How are you going to explain this to them? "
Qin Yi shrugged, but he was not willing to say anything.
