"How's it going about the last time I asked you to investigate?" In an ancient and simple study, there are all kinds of manuscripts scattered everywhere, bamboo slips, and Mo is sitting cross-legged in front of a desk, supporting his head with his left hand, and holding a dossier in his right hand, with a slightly casual look, looking at the man half-kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness Mo, this is all the information and information that my subordinates found back then." The man bowed his head and handed the scroll in his hand.

Mo stretched out his hand to take the scroll and browsed it, and vaguely saw that there were words such as 'Battle of the Canyon', 'Rebellion', and 'Total Annihilation'.

"Hmm...... It's all boring old stories......" Flipping through the scroll in his hand, Mo noticed that the man in front of him had some hesitation in his expression, as if he was unable to speak about something: "Hmm...... Do you have any questions? ”

"Ah no, Your Highness Mo, in fact, there is still a matter of humiliation that I don't know whether I should report to His Highness." The man hurriedly lowered his head.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Here's an information that the village was attacked and harassed by monsters, and the other party sent someone to ask us for help, hoping that we could send a sword master to expel the monsters, and such a trivial matter should not have disturbed His Highness, but after being investigated by his subordinates, this village may be related to the events of the year that His Highness wants to investigate, so ......"

As a kendo family that has been inherited for thousands of years, the Usuke family is an exorcist family, and it can be said that it has always been the job of exorcising demons. Of course, this is not gratuitous, and it is generally the other party who comes to the door and pays enough to ask the person who moves Yu to see the family.

That's why the man hesitated to report the matter, this kind of little monster can usually be cleaned up by sending a random clansman. The person in front of him is a 'sword saint' who comes out once in a thousand years in the clan, and it is simply ridiculous and generous to have to work on the other party for such trivial matters.

"Oh? Show it to me. Hearing this, Mo slightly raised a trace of interest.

"Yes." The man pulled out another scroll and handed it over.

"Hmm......" Mo flipped through the scroll handed by the man, and the originally somewhat tired look on his face gradually faded, "That's it...... Kind of interesting......"

Hearing this, although the half-kneeling man opposite him still lowered his head and was silent, the faint apprehension in his heart gradually subsided. It seems that this information is correct.

After reading the whole scroll, Mo nodded, and then said, "Are the people from this village still waiting at the hospitality area?" ”

"Yes, no adult in the clan has yet taken this scroll." First, this village is located in a remote area, and the group of cultivators in the clan are not very willing to waste time on such a trip, and secondly, such a small village really can't give any good reward, so no one has taken over so far.

In fact, this is also a common thing, most of the people in the Usuke family are naturally casual, and they still care more about the cultivation of kendo. Although it has the name of a thousand-year-old exorcist family, it does not mean that if there is a demon, it will be killed, and if it is a demon, it will be eliminated. The reason why he took over the request to slay demons and eliminate demons was not only to maintain the family business, but also to hone his skills in battle.

"It's interesting, but since no one has taken it yet, I'll go myself." After speaking, Mo stood up, waved his sleeves, and the books, bamboo slips, etc. scattered around the study floated one after another, and then automatically returned to the original bookshelves and arranged them properly.

"Your Highness?!" The man kneeling on the ground raised his head in surprise, and then immediately lowered his head, "Your Highness, this little matter can be handled by your subordinates, and you don't have to bother with it personally." ”

"No, I also want to know a little bit about other things this time. Okay, you go ahead and arrange it. ”

"Yes." At this point, the man did not dare to argue, because he knew very well that once His Highness had decided, he would never change it.

……

Riding in the carriage to his destination, Mo put his cheek on his hand and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, recalling the 'ins and outs' of the so-called past that he had learned after this investigation.

About a few decades ago, the rare peace of the world for decades set off a lot of turmoil. Although the scale of the unrest was far from that sweeping the world, and it was quickly suppressed by the current government. But during that time, there were many wars, and turmoil was inevitable.

It was also during that time that in order to suppress the turmoil, the dynasty organized and recruited many field regiments, one of which is said to be even more impressive, and even won successive battles, suppressing the rebels of the year into a climate, and almost in the blink of an eye, it became famous all over the world.

Originally, this trend continued, and the rebellion was finally completely suppressed. Naturally, they will be knighted and rewarded. Even back then, it was vaguely rumored that people in the world had revealed their intention to crown the general who led the army as the general.

It is a pity that if some people want to rise, there will naturally be people who want to fall, and there are countless interest forces and inherent classes that have offended. What's more, the leading general still rose in recklessness at the beginning, and he didn't have much background himself, which made many people even more 'evil'.

Then how many so-called power 'transactions' took place in the middle, and how many dirty things went through, no one knows, and Mo is not interested in knowing. The result was that the leading general was trapped in a ravine by the enemy in a crucial battle.

It was supposed to be a top-secret raid, secretly taking a little-known ancient road and smashing the opponent's army Huanglong, intending to complete the battle. But the enemy army obtained this information for some reason, and laid many traps in a desperate place, directly destroying this field legion, and even the leading general was killed in the battle.

Although the rebellion was eventually suppressed, it was several years after that. It wasn't until decades later that a 'corpse monster' woke up from the original battlefield, and this 'old story of the past' was turned over again, revealing the 'truth' and 'facts' that had been buried back then......

It's a pity that the Si people have passed away, and the past cannot be traced. These so-called 'truths' and 'facts', even if they are known to the world, are just more than a casual conversation. No one wants to explore more, and it's not worth worrying about. Even those behind-the-scenes promoters of the year have passed away one by one after the passage of time. This makes it even more indifferent to treat it and then laugh it off.

It's just that I don't know, at that time, did anyone grieve, be angry, and worry about it? Under the wash of time, how many emotions can really last forever......

At least there are others, even if the body dies and the mind is extinguished, even if it is alienated into a 'ghost', it still carves the obsession and persistence of the year in the deepest part of the divine consciousness......

"Please...... Could you please ...... Help me...... Take this jade pendant...... Deliver to ...... It's mine...... Give it to ......"

That was what Mo vaguely heard when he was fighting with Qingming, and the other party's last words were not through the voice, but through the soul, conveying this last obsession......

…… To be continued......
